Hallelujah. You can be seated. I'm just going to ask the musicians stay there. Y' all can be seated. The choir and the singers can be seated. And we'll just navigate this and see what he wants for us tonight. We're not on autopilot. Amen. He gave me just one scripture today for tonight, and we'll see how he takes that and brings us into what he has for us. First John, chapter two, First John, chapter two. And verse 20. First John, chapter 2, verse 20. But you have. Is it true? Do you have it? But you have. What do you have? You have an unction from the Holy One. The word unction is the same word as anointing, same as the Holy Spirit. You have. You have. You need to face situations, things that would oppose and things that are in front of you with knowledge that when you're facing them, you're not facing it alone. You're facing it with something. You have something. You have an anointing. And we're moving ahead into what's in front of us. Not alone, but with that anointing. Amen. What is this unction for? The next phrase tells us what the unction that we have is for. So we'll know all things. But you have an unction from the Holy One. And because of that unction, you know all things. This unction is not just knowing all things randomly, but all things pertinent to the plan, pertinent to our inheritance, pertinent to what God authored for us. And we know all things not because of education, but because the unction's in us. The anointing is in us. Amen. All we need to know flows out of that. All we need to know out of the Word. How many of you know? The Holy Spirit only works with one thing, the Word. He's more interested in working with the Word than anything else. Amen. And he always leads us to the Word. And if we will follow the unction that's on the inside of us, we'll come into a knowing of everything we need to know. Everything we need to know. Now, he's not going to tell me everything about you, because that unction in me is not to boss you, but it's to direct me. And the unction in you is to direct that call in you. Every single one of us have a call. Not to five fold ministry, but we all are called to something. And you can't do it without that unction. That's why you have an unction 24 hours a day. You have it 24 hours a day. You always have it. Why? Because the Holy Spirit never leaves us nor forsakes us. And because he never leaves us nor forsakes us. This unction is not about the anointing upon. This is the anointing within. For your daily life, live by that unction. Draw on that unction. You've heard me talk about it before. But God's bringing so many new people. We need to restate these things. People say, well, we've heard that sermon before. Yes, but there are people who haven't. And that you say you've heard it before is a sign. There's more for you in it. And whenever I was contacted by the bank and this building right next door, we call it the Hagen building, and we needed $400,000 to finish it. And it was connected to this building. And I'm talking about financially connected. And the bank called or contacted me. I was at the Haddebaugh's church. They never knew it. I was down at your church. And they contacted me, said, by tomorrow, we want to know where you're getting. Where's the $400,000 coming from? Well, if I knew, you wouldn't be contacting me. And you know all things. And you know all things. And you know all things. And the bank was spotlighting that. They wanted to know some things. And I didn't have an answer here. But they contacted me before I went to the meeting. I thought, I don't have time for this. And so I went to the meeting, came back. I was tired, ready to go to bed. And I'm laying in bed, and it dawned on me, wait a minute. They want a $400,000 answer by tomorrow. I did not go this way. I went this way. Why? I have an unction. Why? So I'll know all things. I'll know the answer for that question. I have an unction. And this is where many people miss it. When they're faced with something, they go this way. Instead of remembering, they have an unction that never leaves them. So they will know all things of what to do regarding what's in front of them right now. Amen. There's never a time we should not know what to do. Not because we have discussed or counseled with somebody, but because we've turned toward the greater one on the inside who is there to help us to know the mind of God. Amen. So I just Laid there. And I did not pray for God to give me $400,000. I prayed. I said, God, this request catches me off guard. But not you. Meaning this. You've already planned this. All I have to hear is what you planned. I don't have to ask you for it because you've already planned this supply. My God shall supply all. So this is one of the all. So it has a supply. The only thing is, I don't know where it is. But you know where it is. So what I've got to do is hear what you know. And I have an unction to know all things pertinent to what I'm facing, pertinent to God's plan, pertinent to the need. So I did not pray. God, I pray for $400,000. I did not. I turned toward so I would know what he knew. How do you know? Find out what he knows. You have to pay attention to him. So I said, what I'm going to do. I'm going to lay here on the bed and I'm going to pray in the Spirit. Why? Because he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not unto men, but unto God. I need to talk to God right now because people don't know this, including this people. So my spirit is going to talk to God. And because I have an unction, I'm not going this way to talk to God. I'm turning toward the unction, the anointing, the Holy Spirit. And I said, holy Spirit, you know the mind of the Father. Now I need to know what he's already accomplished about this. So I'm going to pray in other tongues. Why am I doing that? Because praying in the Spirit makes you sensitive to what the Holy Spirit says to you. So you have an unction from the Holy One. And you know and you know and you know all things that he's not saying. You are know it all. Not talking about that you know what he knows about, what you need, what your need in life is. So I just said, I'm just going to lay here, pray in other tongues to hear what you know. So that I will know. Because you're in me. So that I'll know you're not in me. So I'll bump into walls, not knowing what to do. Going into carnal mode, mental mode. Trying to call people. Yeah. So I just laid in the bed. Not going this way, going this way. I paid attention to my Spirit. I prayed, I spoke in other tongues. When to receive the most. When you're speaking in other tongues. Quiet, the mind and pay attention to what's going on here. Turn your attention toward your spirit. Because if you don't, you can spend a lot of time praying in the Holy Ghost and pick up none of what he's trying to communicate to you. You can't keep your mind busy because you'll miss what your spirit is trying to communicate to your. To your understanding. You've got to quiet the mind so you can hear what he would say. An active mind is a mind that's going to miss. An overly active mind is going to miss what the spirit of God is going to try to communicate to. You had to practice quieting the mind, especially when the mind is trying to search out its own solution, which it cannot equal what the anointing within reveals. So I just laid there and prayed in other tongues no more than 10 minutes. And all of a sudden. I can't say it any other way than this. It was like a bubble floated up. Why? Because my spirit knew something, but my mind hadn't caught up with it. I've got to give my understanding the opportunity to catch up with what my spirit knows. Your spirit knows things that your understanding hasn't caught up with yet. So it was like a bubble floating up because the Holy Spirit has to communicate it to your understanding so that you'll know what to do next. So when God speaks to you, he speaks to your spirit. The Holy Spirit communicates to your spirit and it floats up and enlightens your mind. When the devil comes against you, it also arrives at the mind. But from this direction out, you have to pay attention. Which direction did that come from? Because they're both going to arrive at the mind. I mean, your mind has to be enlightened. So like a bubble, it floated up. And he told me exactly what to do. I did it. I called Pastor Debbie because she. You heard her talk about she used to work at a bank. I said, would a bank even do this? She said, you never know. Just ask them. It matters who you call. You need to call faith friends that don't disarm your faith, but they spur you on in faith. They don't sit and reason with you. That's the last thing you need is someone else's imaginations. You got your own to deal with. So when I got back home, I met with them, and it worked out. We received a $400,000 miracle. That's all I'm saying. Didn't cost me a dime. Amen. Praise God. It wasn't alone. I don't have time to Go into all that. But what am I saying? The Holy Spirit already knew. He knows all things. And he's in me, so I will know all things. You have the same unction. Don't live without consulting the unction. The Holy Ghost. Amen. Now, notice this. It says, but you have an unction from the Holy One and you know all things. Then how come the lives of so many Christians look like they don't know all things? How come not giving proper place, proper recognition, proper attention to the one who is inside endeavoring to communicate all things? To go from crisis to crisis is to not consult the unction in you. We have to be sensitive to the one who's in us. On purpose. On purpose. Now, let's go down a few verses to verse 27. First John, chapter two, verse 27. But the anointing up here in verse 20, John's calling it the unction. In verse 27, he's calling it the anointing. Same thing. But the anointing which you have received of him abideth in you. It's not gonna leave you 24 hours a day. You have the knowledge in you of what you need for this life. Now pay attention to it. Turn toward that knowledge instead of turning toward your mind. Because that knowledge is not in your mind. It's in your spirit. But the anointing which you have received of him abideth in you. Not going to leave you 24 hours a day. Not going to leave you. And you need. Not that any man teach you. That is not saying you're unteachable. That is not saying that you are out trying to develop your spiritual life without someone else's voice. Who knows God better than you. That's not what that's talking about. Things about your life. No man could have come to me in that hotel room and told me that plan. No man could teach me that. They didn't know it. That's why he's saying you don't need a man to teach you what the anointing within you will answer. Amen. And that's why we have to be careful. Can I say this? Pastors make sure when you minister to people, you're. I'm talking about giving counseling. If you're giving counseling, make sure that it's the spirit of counsel. The Holy Spirit will give you your counseling out of the spirit of God, not just out of what. This is what I do. There was someone who was close to dad Hagin. They came and I got to spend some time with them. They ministered Here at the church years ago. And we were at home and we were talking and they said something to me. They said their office at that time was next door to dad Hagin's or close by. And said they prayed much for dad and they said I could be in my office and I would hear people come in and say to dad Hagin, you need to do this, you need to do that, you need to do this. We got this. You gotta do that. I don't know if it was other ministers. I don't know if it's just people making appointments. I don't know who it was referring to. And this person who prayed so much for dad Hagin would say, I'd stand on the other side of the door and I'd say, I bind those words in Jesus name. Why? Because they're there talking to him out of their intellect. And it confuses the hearing. When you just hear something going in, it tries to color what you're receiving. And I purposed right then and I was thinking of my husband as a prophet of God. I recognized when he was speaking as a prophet and I understood when he was speaking as a husband there was a difference and I could pay attention to those differences. And I decided I wanted him to have confidence in my input into his life. So I decided I'm not going to talk to him out of my opinion. I'm going to talk to him out of a knowing because I don't want him to say, she just talks out of her opinion to me. And what happens? They'll start turning you off. They'll turn their ear away from you. Know that as a staff member. Know that as leadership. Do not around your man of God, just speak your opinion. Because if they label you as that, you can talk to them. And they've tuned you out. And you don't even know they're not even listening to you because you have a habit of talking from the wrong place. I didn't want my husband tuning me out because he knew I was just talking to him out of opinion and not out of the counsel of the Spirit. Amen. Side note. That's a side note. But I could not have anyone, I could not have called someone who prayed for me and loved me and said, what should I do about this money? No man could teach me that divine supply, but the Holy Ghost did. There is an anointing in you and no one can teach you. You have to learn from him how your fellowship with him flows. You can't just be around people and replicate that. You have to be true to how you and him. It's very personal. It's very personal. And the Holy Spirit will lead you in how to express what's in your heart most perfectly, how to flow with the anointing on you. Because you can see someone who has a like anointing. And certainly you can learn something, but no man can teach you exactly how God wants to manifest through you. Only the Holy Ghost can do that. No, no man can teach you that. Because Brother Richard Roberts would come and he would say that he ministered to people, words of knowledge by word. His dad did it by laying on of hands. And I've heard men that would prophesy to Brother Richard, this was years ago on recording and say, if you'll lay hands on them, it'll be a stronger anointing. But that wasn't true. Not for him, it was true for them. So they assume that if it's true for them, that's the way everyone should operate. And that's not right. Only the Holy Ghost can teach you how to flow most accurately with the anointing that abides within you. There will be like things with all of us, but no man can teach you the intimacies of how to be the most accurate in the anointing that flows through you. Does that make sense? So don't try to go out and replicate when you see somebody else pray that way or. And you can't get this idea, well, they should pray the way God's led me. Well, no man can teach you. There's some like things, but. Or the way you minister, the way you teach or the way you preach. That's one thing I told Grant when I turned the church over to him. I said, don't try to teach or preach like me, like Daddy, like Morgan, like Stephen. Just do you? Do you. That's where the people are gonna receive the most. Do you? Don't compare you. No man can teach you. Right? Amen. How to flow, how God moves through you. But the Holy Ghost, he's the only one. Amen. Don't compare yourself and say, well, I have to do it this way or I have to do it that way. No, no man can teach you these things. The Holy Ghost, for example. There are things that tangible anointing, how it operates through me might not be how it is with someone else. I can teach you, tell you how it does through me, but I'm not saying it's going to operate that way through you. Amen. You have an unction from the Holy One to Teach you how he wants to flow through you, manifest through you so that you can live in and minister and carry out what you're called to in the highest flow. We can learn some things from others, but only the Holy Ghost can teach you these intimate things. Amen. Praise the lord. So again. First John, chapter 2, verse 27. But the anointing which you have received of him abides in you. Why does he sing it? Abides never to leave. Never to leave. Always available. And you need not. That any man teach you. That is not a dismissal from being part of the local church. That's just talking about how to navigate with that anointing that abides in you. But as the same anointing teaches you of all things and is truth and is no lie. And even as it hath taught you, you shall abide in him. You abide in him one way. You abide in him. Abide in how he's taught you to flow. Abide in that. Don't try to decide how you need to function or flow apart from how he's taught you. Now, this phrase. I cannot tell you how this phrase is. The anointing teaches you of all things and is truth and is no lie. Can I tell you you need to lock and load that phrase in your mouth when you're facing opposition. I said this the other night, I think maybe last night when I said, don't turn your hearing over to anyone else. Don't you have to hear for yourself? Why is that so critical? Because you're going to be opposed. And you have to have the ready answer to that opposition. And until you've heard what God said to you about something, you do not have a ready answer to give to the devil that's going to oppose you. God is giving you the answer so that when he says something, you have faith. Faith comes for that. So there have been times especially, I can, too numerous to count, that first year after Ed's homegoing, when we were finishing eight big projects and the Holy Ghost would tell me, do this, do that. And when I would do it, it looked like it got worse. It looked like it got worse. It looked like I did the wrong thing and I would be going down the road. I remember going down Clinton Keith driving down the road, and the devil said, what you did just made things worse. I said, it is the truth and no lie. It's the truth and no lie. That's why he tells you it's the truth and no lie. Because the devil's going to affect circumstances so that what The Holy Spirit said to you looks like a lie, and you have to hold to it when what the Spirit of God said to me, I won't back down on. It's the truth and no lie. And, brother, you have to load that in your mouth because there was no feeling of victory. All that showed up around me looked like I just threw a gas can on that fire, Right? But it was the truth and no lie. And your head will argue, and you better tell your head. This reasoning is not the truth. And just because you thought of it doesn't make it more true. What the Spirit says is the truth. What the Word says is the truth. What God says, that's the truth. And everything else is a lie. That opposes that. Everything else is a lie. Circumstances are a lie. They're lying. I mean, when the three Hebrews were not bowing and heated the seven, the furnace seven times hotter. It's like Shadrach. Did you have to be so mouthy to King Nebuchadnezzar? Did you have to tell him? No, it looked like it got worse. But they just held their ground. They just held their ground because circumstances can heighten. But what the Spirit says is the truth. Circumstances are not the truth. Circumstances are not the truth. And everything else that argues is a lie. And that was my answer so many times when I knew I was following what I should do. And it looked like it got worse. And people told me, well, it looked like you messed that up. It's the truth and no lie. It's the truth and no lie. It's the truth and no lie. What's that mean? It's gonna change. This out here is gonna change because I laid the truth on it. I didn't lay the lie on it. And you have that same unction. You have that same one teaching you, and everything he teaches you is the truth. Everything and anything that argues with it's a lie. That's why I decided I was not going to go to my husband and speak out of my opinion, because that becomes a lie in the face of truth. And I didn't want him to mark me as having wrong words, just speaking out of my feelings or speaking out of my opinion to him, because I didn't want him tuning me out. Talking about spiritual, I'm talking about more ministry things. And staff needs to learn that if you do that around your leadership, they'll tune you out. And you had no idea they tuned you out four years ago. They were just being gracious, listening to you. But they're not letting any of it in. Because if they label you, it's talking out of your reasonings. So you need to make sure that when you say something around your man of God, it's not just your feelings or your reasonings or your opinion. Amen then John, chapter 16. John, chapter 16, verse 13. John 16:13. Jesus is speaking here and he tells us howbeit when he the Spirit of truth not lie, truth is come. He will guide you. He will guide you. To ask the Holy Spirit to guide you is to imply and insult him that he's not guiding you. I've never said Holy Spirit. Would you guide me? I. I would say Holy Spirit. How are you leading me? What are you leading me to do? He's always guiding me. I don't ask him to do what he's here to do. That's to accuse him of not doing what he's here doing. And it shows lack of knowledge. So howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth. For he shall not speak of Himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak. And look at this. He will show you. He will show you things to come. He will. He will. He will. If we don't know what's to come, we're not looking at what he's showing. We're looking at something else other than what he's showing. For he will show you things to come. Verse 14. He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine. Look at this and shall show it unto you. Now we have the second time talking about him showing. Look at verse 15. All things that the Father hath are mine. Therefore said I that he shall take of mine and shall show it unto you. He has said it now and three times in a row. The Holy Spirit will show the Holy Spirit. That's part of our inheritance. We're redeemed from not knowing. We're redeemed from the ignorant life. We take what he shows and we run ignorance out with it. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Hosea, chapter 4, verse 6. My people, not the devil's people. My people are destroyed for not knowing what he's showing. Not seeing what he's showing. Purposefully turning a different direction than the direction he's showing. The devil's not mentioned in that. So knowing what's to come. Seeing what's to come is part of why the Holy Spirit came, so that we would not walk in the dark. I love something, though. Pastor Keith Moore said we were last week with Brother Copeland at His ministers Conference, and some of you may have been there. And Pastor Keith Moore made this statement. He said, one of the greatest acts of faith is that when you don't understand everything with your understanding, you still trust him. I can't tell you the number of times that I've said to God in the middle of great tests, lengthy seasons of opposition, and I'm holding on to something to anchor. And I would say, God, I don't understand, but I trust you. I trust you. I trust you. I don't have to understand before I trust you. I trust you because of who you are, not because of what I understand. Do you get that? But so many people get, if I could say this, fearful because they don't know something. Just know this. He's going to treat you right. He's going to do you right. And while we're learning to be more accurate in our hearing and discerning what he's saying to us in that process, just go ahead and trust him. I love. I don't. I don't remember who said this last week, but it was so good. They said, faith requires knowledge, trust doesn't. Yeah, because we trust God. I don't hear a lot about it. This I don't understand. But I still trust you, Father. I still. I know I'm safe with you. I can't tell you how many times when just in my mind I didn't understand something, I'd say, God, I'm still safe with you. I'm always safe with you. No risk. I'm always safe. Amen. But notice this. Jesus is saying three times in a row, the Spirit will show you things to come. What do you think Heaven longs for? For us to see what the Spirit shows. Amen. You are to know all things about what's to come, about direction. And sometimes. And David and I have talked about this at length with the worship school. I said, I don't have the whole picture, but I know where to do it. So I would say to him, let's just go with what we know. And sometimes what we know is let's do a worship. Let's do a worship session. That's all we knew. We just did it. And the more we did what we did know, we walked into more of what he did show. Amen. Amen. Christians should not be living in the dark. Should not be living in the dark. Praise the Lord. And this doesn't belong to preachers. It belongs to everyone. Born again, you have an unction on the inside. The learn to live out of that unction. On the inside. Amen. Well, are you helped? A little bit. Praise the Lord. Turn that direction. Turn that direction. I mean, I remember several years ago, I woke up in the middle of the night. I've been doing that a lot. And I woke up in the middle of the night and I don't remember what I did. I just. I remember what I did. And I couldn't go back to sleep. I don't remember. I'd get up and walk around, you know, just fiddle. Just fiddle in the house. Just do stuff. And I went and laid back down. And God said to me, when are you going to start turning toward your spirit instead of your mind when you wake up? Because I just thought, I'm waking up. But he woke me up. But because I didn't turn this way, I missed why he woke me up. And then when he said that, I go, oh, so you woke me up? And then he said, yes, and I want you to pray for such and such. And he called their name. What is it? Learn. Let's have the spiritual habit that we turn here instead of turning here and turning to our feet. You know, our. You wake up, and the minute your feet hit the floor, you're off on your plan that day. Yeah. Learn. Turn here. Here. Can I tell you this? Who are those who seem to have the greatest success in following the Holy Spirit? Those who turn toward him the most. Those who turn toward him the most. It's really simple. It's not earned. Because he never leaves you or forsakes you. He abides in you. This is not. You don't earn this leading. You don't earn this unction. You turn toward it. Amen. Praise the Lord. Father, we thank you tonight. We thank you tonight.
