True Spiritual Authority Revealed in these numbers 30/60/100 - Pastor Shane Vaughn - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssVRcgp3OSM Transcript: (00:00) Go to Ephesians chapter 4 and verse 15. Uh let's read this together everybody out loud. But speaking the truth in love may grow up into him in all things which is the head even Christ. I want to talk to you tonight about spiritual authority. I'm starting a series on spiritual authority. Tonight is the first lesson on this lesson of spiritual authority. (00:33) And the lesson of tonight the title of tonight's lesson is spiritual maturity because without spiritual maturity you will never have spiritual authority. Let's go to Matthew 13 verse 23. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word and and what? Understands it. Understands it. Let's read. Which also beareth fruit. (01:06) Let me say this to you about the word. Just because you heard the word does not mean you will bear fruit. You've got to do more than hear the word. You've got to what? Hear and do it. What's the next? You've got to understand it. Understand it. You've got to understand the word. Now I often let's finish reading. (01:33) Some a hundredfold some sixtyfold and some thirtyfold. Now I'm going to write this on the board. Some thirty some sixty some a hundred. Now we're going to talk about these three numbers tonight because listen to what I'm telling you these three numbers sister Yumika will change your walk with God. The revelation of these three numbers. (02:05) Now I've taught on this before but not in the level that we're going to teach on it tonight. Somebody say thirty. Thirty. Sixty. Sixty. One hundred. The old-timers used to sing a song that said ninety-nine and a half it won't do. So tonight you've got to understand the word to bear fruit. Now many times in this ministry we are accused by people that don't understand us as being too deep. (02:44) They say brother Von y'all need to just keep it simple. So that everybody can understand it. What they don't understand this ministry is not for everybody. It's for the remnant the house of Israel. And the reason this MINISTRY IS NOT FOR everybody is because everybody don't want to understand. They want the word but they don't want to understand the word. (03:24) These three numbers represent three levels of understanding. If you're ever going to bear fruit what is fruit? Your your spiritual fruit it's is either this number that number or that number. YOUR FRUIT IS ANOTHER word for your authority. The fruit THAT YOU WANT TO GET FROM THE WORD of God is what will give you authority with God. (04:10) NOW EVERYBODY IN THIS CLASS tonight wants authority. How many wants authority over demon powers? Let me see your hand. All right. Everybody? You want authority over demons back there? All right. Come on. Don't do that in the house of the Lord. Listen to the message son. You want authority over demon powers? Lift your hands if you do. (04:31) If you don't we'll take authority over yours for you. All right. Everybody okay. Now listen carefully. HOW MANY IN THIS ROOM WANT AUTHORITY OVER SICKNESS? YEAH. How many WANTS AUTHORITY OVER DEPRESSION? ANXIETY? You want that authority. EVERYBODY IN GOD'S CHURCH wants authority. WE ALL WANT AUTHORITY OVER addictions and demons. (05:03) And we all want knowledge. We want to understand the mysteries of God. And all of this is worthy goals. BUT SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY brings with it great responsibility. A RESPONSIBILITY THAT MANY ARE NOT WILLING TO BEAR. THE REASON YOU WILL NEVER HAVE I'M GOING TO PROVE IT TO YOU. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH RESPONSIBILITY TO GET TO THE HOUSE OF GOD ON THE SABBATH DAY. (05:48) THERE'S A REASON I CAN MAKE A CLAIM ON GOD. I KNOW MY LIFE AND I KNOW IF I'M WALKING IN OBEDIENCE TO GOD. IF YOU'RE NOT YOU'LL NEVER HAVE SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY. Now let's GO TO REVELATION 20 and 12. The book of Revelation chapter 20 and verse 12. GOD wants you to HAVE AUTHORITY. HE WANTS YOU. (06:16) HE CREATED YOU TO HAVE AUTHORITY BUT HE cannot trust everybody with authority. Revelation 20 and 12. And I saw the dead small and great they stood before God and the books were opened. And another book was opened which is the book of life. AND THE DEAD were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their what? Works. (06:45) I thought it was their faith. Works. But we're not saved by works we're saved by faith. Now what are you GOING TO BE JUDGED BY AT THE JUDGMENT YOUR FAITH OR YOUR WORKS? IT'S IN THE BOOK I DIDN'T WRITE it I'm reading it. Okay? The works that YOU DO IS WHAT WILL JUDGE YOU AT THE JUDGMENT. BROTHER VON WHAT works is the Bible talking about? I'm going TO TELL YOU. (07:17) HERE IS THE WORKS that you will be responsible for at the judgment. Obedience to the revelation that was given to you. That's your works. THERE ARE MANY OF YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST THAT DO NOT HAVE YOUR UNDERSTANDING. THEY'VE NOT BEEN GIVEN A MINISTRY like this one that teaches them these things. THEREFORE THEIR WORKS WILL BE PREJUDICATED UPON WHAT THEY KNOW. (07:58) The Bible said that in that day that the servant that knew to do good but didn't do good would get a lot of stripes on his back. BUT THE SERVANT THAT DIDN'T KNOW HE DON'T GET OFF THE HOOK BUT HE GETS A FEW STRIPES. IF YOU'RE ASKING GOD FOR SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY BEFORE HE GIVES YOU SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY HE'S GOING TO GIVE YOU THE REVELATION OF HIS WORD AND SEE HOW OBEDIENT YOU ARE TO THAT REVELATION. (08:32) NOW THERE'S MORE power in what I just said than you realize. YOU WANT AUTHORITY WITH GOD? HE WILL FIND OUT. HE WILL REVEAL TO YOU SOMETHING IN HIS WORD AND YOU WILL EITHER REJECT IT OR OBEY IT. THAT IS THE works that you will be judged by. AMEN. THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THOSE CHRISTIANS THAT AIN'T DOING IT THE WAY YOU'RE DOING IT. (09:03) WHY? YOU'RE WALKING IN A REVELATION THAT THEY'VE NOT BEEN GIVEN. AND THEREFORE YOU WILL be required of that revelation. Now let's read on. Revelation well we'll stop there and I'm going to go to another verse. How many's ever worked on a job here? How many's ever worked on a job? How many's ever been a manager on a job? Okay. (09:32) Let me explain something to you about a manager. Karen and I we used to own a car dealership car lot. And we would come to work and all the salesmen and all the workers all the men in the shop all the men in the car wash here was all happy and everybody was excited to be at work. And I wanted to be happy. I wanted to be excited. But every morning because we were owners we had to go to a back room with the other owners and be given the bad news of how there was no profit in the company. (10:16) Or how we were losing money over here. Losing money. How we were fixing up to lay everybody off if we didn't sell more cars. Oh, now, I'm trying to make a point here. I had authority in that dealership. I had spiritual Well, physical authority, RIGHT? BUT WITH THAT AUTHORITY CAME A RESPONSIBILITY THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE AS WORKERS. (10:44) And when you ARE IN AUTHORITY WITH GOD, YOU WILL HAVE TO CARRY YOURSELF IN A RESPONSIBILITY THAT OTHER CHRISTIANS DO NOT have to walk in. And you will wonder, "God, why me?" If you don't want spiritual authority, God will never give it to you. Trust me. He starts off with spiritual maturity before he gives you spiritual authority. (11:14) When you receive a word from God, that word carries with it the responsibility of obedience. Let's say it again. WHEN YOU GET LET'S SAY YOU'RE sitting in this building tonight. You know how many people have sit under my ministry in this very building? Hundreds of them. AND WOULD SEE BEFORE THEIR eyes this truth that we teach. (11:41) See it. I'VE HAD THEM STAND UP AND SAY, "I SEE THAT, BROTHER VAUGHN. SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH DAY. I SEE IT." "I SEE THE POPE CHANGED GOD'S SABBATH TO SUNDAY. I see it." They sit under my ministry. They heard the Holy Ghost reveal to them how the Catholic Church had changed the entire church world. They saw it. They saw it. (12:10) And now, what happens when you see? It carries with it a responsibility of obedience. And believe me for THOSE THAT HAVE WALKED IN AND SO MANY minds are coming People are coming to my mind THAT WALKED OUT, THAT SAW IT BUT THEY DID not walk in it. They will never have authority with God. Never. Because Sister Tess, when God loves YOU ENOUGH TO REVEAL PRECIOUS pearls to you, how you handle those pearls is how he judges you at the judgment. (12:51) Now Brother Vaughn, I believe in being obedient. After we're obedient, then we need to seek the Father's heart to know how to fulfill the word in the same manner that Jesus would have fulfilled it. And I'm going to talk about something now that's very important. The method of obedience is more important than obedience itself. (13:25) The method of obedience. I'll prove it to you. How many's had a child obey you before? But you knew by the way they obeyed that they didn't mean to be obeying. They was doing it to get out of a butt whipping. Right? THEY WERE NOT OBEY BUT BROTHER VAUGHN, THEY WERE OBEYING. I agree, BUT IT WAS NOT A willful obedience. (13:57) So, I'm going to repeat the line I just said. THE METHOD OF obedience is more important than obedience itself. THE WAY YOU OBEY. I'm going to church. It's It's the Sabbath day. I'm not You just See what you did? You just You didn't You failed. You failed. Well, here Here's my tithe. Preacher makes more money than I make, but here. Might as well keep it. (14:26) Why Why Why obey? BECAUSE THAT'S NOT OBEDIENCE. That's cultism. You're in a cult. You're just doing what a cult tells you to do. See? BUT WHEN YOU FALL IN LOVE with Yeshua, Jesus. When I say Yeshua, I'm okay. WHEN YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH YESHUA, JESUS YOU NOT ONLY DESIRE TO OBEY, YOU DESIRE TO OBEY THE WAY HE OBEYED. (14:57) I DON'T KNOW WHY SOME CHRISTIANS IT'S NOT REQUIRED OF THEM TO LIVE THE LIFE I LIVE, BUT I KNOW FOR ME AND MY HOUSE THIS IS WHAT HE'S REVEALED. AND THE WAY WE OBEY. SOMEBODY SAY the way. I obey. Not just See, now we're going to another level. For 5 years we've been teaching on obedience. But see, we're going to a whole 'nother realm now. We're going past obedience. (15:24) We're going into joyful obedience. HALLELUJAH. IF YOU WANT SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY WITH GOD, YOU DON'T OBEY TO GET OUT OF TROUBLE. YOU OBEY TO RUN INTO BLESSINGS. YOU DON'T OBEY TO DODGE THE WHIP. YOU OBEY TO GET IN HIS LAP. HALLELUJAH. OH, I FEEL THE Holy Ghost. For example I might get a word from the Lord. Maybe the And this has happened before. (16:02) Maybe the Lord WILL SHOW ME SOME SIN in the church. And we go to the brother. You know, the Bible tells me to go to the brethren, reveal it to him, and talk to him. NOW, I CAN OBEY THE WORD OF GOD and come to you and say "YOU GOING TO QUIT ALL THAT SINNING, BOY?" I I OBEYED. RIGHT? Bible said if you see your brother in a fault, go to him. (16:26) I'm going to TELL YOU LOW DOWN WHAT YOU GOING TO DO. YOU AIN'T GOING TO COME IN THIS CHURCH LIKE THAT. WELL, I'M TELLING HIM TRUTH. WHAT WAS THE first scripture we started off with? Speaking the truth in what? In love. Now, the truth IS MY BIBLE SAID TO GO BROTHER BROTHER VAUGHN, I'M GOING TO HIM LIKE THE BIBLE SAID. (16:48) I KNOW, BUT ARE YOU GOING TO HIM LIKE JESUS WOULD HAVE WENT TO HIM? IT'S BEYOND OBEDIENCE. NOW, WE'RE MOVING INTO ANOTHER LEVEL. IT'S BEYOND OBEDIENCE. IT'S JESUS KIND of obedience. Now, I come to you and I can put my arm on you. See? And say, "Hey, buddy. I know you're better than that." I've obeyed. But I've did it his way. The method of obedience is more important than obedience itself. (17:25) That's why some people have told me When I've ever heard somebody tell me, "Brother Vaughn, I paid my tithes and my lights got cut off." I said to them right there, "The very fact that you said it to me that way tells me why your lights got cut off." "I OBEYED GOD." "I PUT FIVE EXTRA IN." SEE? THE way you obey is more important than obeying itself. (18:00) The Bible said God doesn't Doesn't say God loves a giver. What does he love? A CHEERFUL GIVER. THE WAY YOU OBEY. HAHA. I DON'T WANT TO KEEP THE SABBATH BECAUSE SEE, THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THESE MESSIANICS AND ALL THESE OTHER GROUPS. THEY ARE PREACHING THE WORD. AND THEY'RE OBEYING. BUT WHEN YOU CRITICIZE YOUR OTHER BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST THAT DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT YOU HAVE NOT OBEYED THE WAY CHRIST OBEYS. (18:41) I'M HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SABBATH DAY. IT'S BEEN REVEALED TO ME. I KNOW GOOD PEOPLE IT'S NOT BEEN REVEALED TO DO TO THEM. I CANNOT HELP THAT. BUT I CAN BE HERE. YOU HEARD ME? I can be here joyfully. Yes, sir. Shall Do you hunger? You just said it. And that I'll tell you to you like this. (19:12) When I do something for my son and he appreciates it, I want to do more. Your heavenly Father, when he reveals you one truth Sister Youmika, I'll take you for an example. This year was the first year that Sister Youmika did not celebrate the hellish holiday of Christmas. This is the first year she didn't celebrate that holiday. (19:33) Now, why? I didn't make her not do it. She's not part of a cult. Nobody here told her you can't do it. She went to her Bible and saw that God hates paganism. And she wanted nothing to do with it. NOW GOD GAVE HER THAT REVELATION. COME close to Christmas time, nobody knows he's gave her that revelation. Stay with me. SHE COULD VERY EASILY HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT LITTLE REVELATION. (20:04) SEE? SEE, OBEDIENT, the revelation carries with it the responsibility of obedience. I wish you could get that in your mind. Revelation carries with it the responsibility of obedience. But now I must warn you, sister Yamika. Here's what happens when we obey Yahweh in one little area. Let's just say you messed up. (20:28) How about that? BECAUSE THE MINUTE HE SHOWS YOU ONE THING AND HE SEES YOU'RE WILLING WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN? Somebody want to tell me what's about to happen? He's about to show you everything. I started out seeing the Sabbath day. I wasn't looking for the Sabbath, it came looking for me. And I said, "Okay, Lord. (20:54) I I I I You're right." And look, even Ray Charles can see that Saturday's the Sabbath day, okay? And he's blind. All right? You can't nobody argue. I'll debate the best of the best. Can't nobody argue. And I I dare you to show me one place where Jesus replaced the Sabbath. It ain't in your book. You can go high, you can go low, and we'll stand here at midnight, you'll never prove that. Okay? Now, here's what I can say. (21:18) WHEN GOD SHOWED me that, you can ask my wife, I struggled with that. I struggled with it. You know why? I just didn't want to do it. But the minute I obeyed and my wife and I obeyed that's when we found out couldn't do Christmas or nothing else. Why? God saw he could trust us to walk in obedience to the revelation of his word. (21:51) Now, I'M TRYING TO TEACH you folks tonight at First Harvest and around the world how to be more than commandment keepers. I'm going to try to teach you how to be Christ-like. YOU NEED MORE than knowledge of his voice. You need to identify with his character. I'm going to say it again. How many in here has heard God's voice before? Don't mean nothing if you don't identify with his character. (22:28) We need to identify WITH HIS CHARACTER TO FULFILL HIS commands correctly. Identify with his character. We're going to talk about that character tonight. Everybody in this room wants to be spiritually mature, but do you know that God has a measuring rod to determine your level of maturity? And this is it. 30 60 100 Now this right here is Yahweh's measuring rod. (23:08) Uh there's going to come a point in your walk with God where you'll walk in so much authority that your enemies fear you. Because they've tried to destroy you and it won't work. Cuz you're walking in authority with God. Your fruit is authority. When you've got authority, you don't bark. You carry a big stick. And that stick's the word of God. (23:36) God has a barometer to test your spiritual maturity. YOU CANNOT have spiritual authority without spiritual maturity. NOW, AUTHORITY, WHAT IS AUTHORITY? HOW MANY'S HEARD somebody say he's an authority on the subject? Let me tell you what I'm not an authority at. I'm not an authority at being a handyman. You don't want me fixing nothing in your house. (24:12) I'm not an authority at mechanic work. If I touch your car, you're going to need to take it to the shop twice. I'm not an authority in that. Now, watch this. But there's A FEW THINGS I AM AN authority on. Computer work cooking preaching a little bit piano I'm a I'm an authority in those areas. Why? I've spent my life gaining what? Experience in those areas. (24:42) So, remember this, authority with God comes from experiences with God. That's why Paul said not to let a young man pastor a church. Not to let a novice in the pulpit. Because he has no experiences with God. Therefore, he has no authority WITH GOD. NOW, AUTHORITY COMES FROM WHAT YOU HAVE learned from experience. (25:12) HERE'S SOME THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM experiences with God. IF I HOLD MY PEACE AND LET YAHWEH FIGHT MY BATTLES. I THAT AIN'T SOMETHING I JUST READ, BABY. THAT'S SOMETHING I HAVE EXPERIENCED in God. Victory shall be mine. SO NOW NOW, SEE WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT GOD'S NOT GOING TO COME THROUGH FOR ME, I'VE ALREADY BEEN THERE. (25:40) TOO LATE. I'VE GOT EXPERIENCE. SEE, I I'VE GOT AUTHORITY IN MY FAITH. YOUR AUTHORITY WITH GOD COMES FROM YOUR experiences with God. Authority is earned. When you get on a new job you have to go through a probation period. Then you got to be faithful a couple of years. And then you are advanced to responsibility. When you COME TO GOD, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO EXPERIENCE HIM BEFORE YOU'RE ABLE TO GO OUT AND HAVE THIS GREAT AUTHORITY WITH GOD. (26:18) THE FIRST TIME I SEE SOMEONE that is not submitted to the church leadership is someone that will never have authority with God. You know why? Because the first level the first lesson of authority is respect. Yeah. I'm going to say it again. UNTIL YOU LEARN RESPECT AND honor you'll never have respect nor honor. And you'll never have authority with God. (26:46) Now, true authority is not Brother Vaughn, I want authority. Let me tell you what authority is not. It's not over other people. And it's not over sickness or demons. True authority is authority over yourself. True authority is when you have it over yourself. We're going to get you there. I'm going to say that now. (27:24) IF YOU DON'T HAVE AUTHORITY OVER YOUR OWN demons I dare you to go to try to cast them out of somebody else. YOU'VE GOT TO GET AUTHORITY OVER YOU. AND THE MOMENT YOU conquer Somebody said, "Brother Vaughn, I want to walk on the water." Walk on your water first. The water of your gossip the water of your hurtful words, this water that spills out OF YOUR MOUTH. (27:55) LEARN TO CONQUER that and you will gain authority with God. Because those that want authority over others without authority over themself the very fact that somebody wants authority over other people proves to me they have not gotten authority over themself. True authority comes from true respect. I respect my wife and she respects me. (28:22) You know why? We have experiences together. We've been together five going on six years. We have some experiences. If you want true authority, you've got to first get true respect. How many's ever had an employer you didn't respect? It's mighty hard to come under their authority. But how many's ever had someone you respected them? You didn't mind coming under their authority. (28:48) Cuz you respect them. They've earned your respect. When you have conquered your own demons, then the demons in others will respect your claim to authority. Victories garner respect. Do you know IF YOU WANT RESPECT HOW YOU GET IT? JUST LIKE A GOOD SOLDIER THAT GOES OUT AND FIGHTS A BATTLE, HE COMES BACK HOME. (29:09) WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE in the streets doing? CLAPPING. THAT SOLDIER HAS GARNERED A VICTORY. AND HE'S EARNED RESPECT. AND AUTHORITY IS BORN OUT OF RESPECT. SO, EVERY TIME YOU CONQUER SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT'S NOT LIKE GOD YOU HAVE GARNERED A VICTORY. AND CAN I TELL YOU A SECRET? EVERYBODY AROUND YOU WILL NOTICE IT. (29:39) If you came to this ministry a loudmouth gossiper and you're no longer a loudmouth gossiper, everybody's going to notice it. You conquered that demon. YOU'VE GOTTEN THE RESPECT of the people and now we can move you into a position of authority. If you want God to give you authority, you've got to earn God's respect. (30:07) You already have his love. I can love you all day, don't mean I respect you. GOD LOVES YOU, BUT HE DON'T RESPECT YOU UNTIL YOU GARNER some victories. I'm preaching to somebody tonight. WHEN YOU GETTING VICTORY OVER AREAS OF YOUR LIFE, YOU'VE GARNERED respect from God, from others, and from demons. And now you can walk in the spirit rather than after the flesh. (30:40) What is God's barometer of spiritual maturity? I'm going to tell you what it's not. It's not your level of knowledge. People in this room, you got more knowledge than most Christians in this town, bottom line. Bottom line. Everybody in this room knows your Bible better than most Christians in this town. You've been taught, you know it. (31:02) God could care less. That's not the barometer. The barometer is not your knowledge. THE BAROMETER IS NOT EVEN YOUR WISDOM. I'm going to tell you the secret barometer that God uses. Your capacity to love. That's right, Brother Butch. Your capacity to love is God's measuring rod on your level of maturity. And this is where I've been trying to get for the last 15 minutes. (31:43) In the Greek language of the New Testament, there are three words in Greek that's all translated into the English word love. First one, eros. That's the first Greek word that's translated as the word love in the Bible. It's the Greek word eros. The second love is the Greek word phileo. The third word for love is agape. (32:31) Listen to me carefully. This is God's measuring rod of your spiritual maturity. And until you get to this number in your capacity to love, you will never be granted authority with God. Do you know the most dangerous person in the world is a person that has no authority over people or that has authority over people with no love for them. (33:04) In the COMING KINGDOM OF GOD TO PLANET EARTH, you're going to be ruling the nation. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AUTHORITY. YOU CAN KILL WITH THE blink of an eye. If God cannot trust you now, he will not be able to use you then. Stay with me, please. WHAT IS THE FIRST meaning of eros? It's where we get the word erotic from. (33:38) Eros is a physical attraction. It's the sexy side of love. Okay? So, eros is attraction. Physical attraction is the meaning of eros. The first TIME YOU MET THAT PERSON and you said, "I loved you." You lied. You was horny. Amen. Tell it like it is. You you wanted it, that's all. Okay? Hallelujah. THAT'S PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. (34:24) NOW, let me tell you who has an eros type of love. A baby. Let me explain to you. A BABY LOVES HIS MAMA, BUT IT'S A SELFISH LOVE. Eros love is a selfish love. Eros love is a love out of need. I love THE BABY LOVES HIS MAMA BECAUSE THE BABY NEEDS mama's milk. Babies have eros love. Brothers and sisters, when you came to God, you had eros love. (35:11) You didn't want TO GO TO HELL. I'M FIXING TO GET SOMEWHERE if y'all stay with me. YOU DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO HELL. YOU WANTED TO GO TO HEAVEN. SELFISH. And you CHOSE TO LOVE GOD IN EXCHANGE for something. I'll love YOU IF YOU'LL KEEP ME OUT OF HELL, PLEASE. Just like a baby, you needed milk from Papa God. SEE? YOU THAT IS THE 30-FOLD LEVEL OF YOUR WALK WITH GOD. (35:50) AND I'M SAD TO SAY TONIGHT THAT 90% OF THE CHRISTIAN church is in the 30-fold eros level. This group of people has no authority with God. BECAUSE THE MINUTE GOD DON'T PAY THEIR LIGHT BILL, THEY'RE BACKSLID. That's because you never loved God, you needed God. Oh, I'm trying to preach now. I'm trying to help you see what your level is with God. (36:29) EROS LOVE IS THE LOWEST FORM of love on the earth. IT'S A SELFISH, I NEED YOU LOVE. A BABY HAS NO ABILITY TO MODIFY his demands. A baby doesn't care if the mother's tired at night. THAT BABY NEEDS MILK. NOW, HE BUT HE LOVES MAMA, but it's A SELFISH LOVE. GOD'S CHURCH LOVES HIM. But it's a selfish love. You Can I prove that to you? Look at the next revival flyer you see in town. (37:15) To get people to come to a revival, here's what it's going to say. Come and get your blessing. Can I get an amen? COME AND SEE PROPHET ELI PROPHET ELI AND HE'S GOING TO GIVE YOU YOUR WORD. HERE WE COME RUNNING. BUT NOW SAY TOMORROW'S THE SABBATH, GOD HAS COMMANDED YOU TO BE THERE, YOU CAN'T GET NOBODY. AND THERE'S A REASON for it. (37:50) Now, AS WE GO DOWN THIS LIST, I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW THESE NUMBERS equate to the festivals of Yahweh. Now, even though there are seven festivals each year, there's they're in categories OF THREE. WHAT IS THE FIRST FESTIVAL every year? Passover. Now, if y'all will stay with me, you're going to learn something here. (38:15) SEE THE WORD PASSOVER? WHAT IS PASSOVER? PASSOVER IS THAT FESTIVAL THAT REPRESENTS YOUR initial conversion. The blood of Christ. Okay? THIS IS WHAT PASSOVER PASSOVER IS THE 30-FOLD LEVEL. PASSOVER IS WHERE THE CHURCH HAS STOPPED. THEY'RE ALL PREACHING THE BLOOD. THEY'RE ALL PREACHING THE CROSS. THEY'RE ALL PREACHING GIVE YOUR HEART TO CHRIST. (38:51) THEY'RE ALL PREACHING COME AND GET BAPTIZED. THAT IS 30-FOLD RELIGION. IT'S NOT a necessary religion, it's the beginning of your walk with God, the Passover experience. The majority of Christian churches today are stuck right here. Can I tell you something? Listen to me well. God loves every one of them. Can I tell you something else? God ain't mad at these people. (39:29) Talk now, see? I'm going to try to help you. Now, HE HAS TOTAL DIFFERENT PLANS FOR THESE PEOPLE than he does these people. But he ain't mad at one of them. So, listen to me. You need to quit being mad at them. NO, THAT GROUP OF PEOPLE'S NOT COMMANDMENT KEEPERS. AND THEIR CHURCH IS BIGGER THAN THIS CHURCH. But God ain't mad at them. (40:01) He hasn't revealed to them what he's revealed to you. THESE FOLKS HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD THE WORD. THEY HEARD the word. But they DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT. GOD AIN'T MAD AT THEM. BUT GOD'S GOT A DIFFERENT PLAN FOR THEM. THEY WILL NOT rule and reign in the government of Yeshua during the millennium reign. (40:26) They will be the governed, not the government. Somebody say the governed. NOT THE GOVERNMENT. WHY? BECAUSE THESE FOLKS THAT DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE WORD TODAY, WHEN THE MILLENNIUM REIGN ROLLS AROUND, THEY'RE GOING TO UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE THESE FOLKS IS GOING to teach it to them. Hallelujah to God. I'm trying to help somebody right now. (40:49) But I'm giving you the words of life right now. SEE, THESE PASSOVER. DON'T STOP AT PASSOVER. COME ON DOWN TO THE next feast. Pentecost. First fruit, Pentecost, Shavuot. Now, 60, let's talk about phileo love. Phileo love is is a better kind of love than eros love. It's brotherly love. You're my brother. I love you. (41:23) You're my brother. I love you. But there's a little selfish reason why I love you. Cuz you're my brother. You're my sister. So, we're sort of in this thing and we got to love each other. NOW, I THINK IT'S BETTER THAN THE EROS. AIN'T NONE OF Y'ALL TURNING ME ON. This is a different kind of love. Okay? I'm serious. (41:53) Ain't nobody in here turns me on except that one over there. Now, when I first met her, that's the only kind of love I had. WOO! I HAD THAT I HAD THAT EROS going on, baby. Hallelujah. I'm going to edit that part out, baby. Don't worry about it, okay? Hallelujah. It's a legal type of love. It's a legal love. Where people treat each other with equal justice. It's a 50/50 relationship. (42:38) It says, and I'm going to prove it to you. I hate to say it like this, but it's the truth. Have you ever been in a church and you was loved? But the minute you left, phileo love. Phileo love. Phileo love. NOW, THIS LOVE IT'S IT'S BETTER THAN THIS LOVE CUZ WHEN YOU WERE IN THE CHURCH, YOU DIDN'T WANT nothing from nobody. (43:08) You loved them. See, it was 50/50. Y'all were equal. 50/50 y'all going to church together. But ain't it funny that those that thought you hung the moon, the minute you left, you weren't even worthy of seeing the moon. Why? See, because it's phileo love. It's a CONDITIONAL LOVE. SADLY, HUSBANDS AND WIVES have that kind OF LOVE. (43:36) SEE, GOD'S LOVE FOR A HUSBAND and wife was supposed to be till death do us part. BUT TODAY'S MARRIAGE love says, I'll stay with you until you give me a reason to leave. Phileo. Right? SEE, AGAPE LOVE SAYS IF YOU DO GIVE ME A REASON TO LEAVE, I AIN'T LEAVING. YOU'RE GOING TO THE OTHER BEDROOM, but we ain't going nowhere. Phileo love is 50/50. (44:09) Phileo love says as long as you keep doing right, I love you. Now, 60-fold Christians, THEY'VE COME PAST PASSOVER AND THEY HAVE COME TO PENTECOST. NOW, Pentecost is the outpouring of the HOLY SPIRIT. WHERE GOD WRITES HIS LAW IN our minds. Now, you know the funniest thing to me is every time I meet a Pentecostal, which I used to be one, a Pentecostal thinks they're Pentecostal because they speak in tongues. (44:47) Even witches speak in tongues. You're not special. PENTECOSTALS ARE THOSE that the law of God has been written into their hearts. That's a Pentecostal. If that's what a Pentecostal is, then I'm a Pentecostal. BECAUSE ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST, WHAT HAPPENED? WHEN THE HOLY GHOST CAME IN, HE CAME IN TO DO WHAT JEREMIAH 31:13 SAYS, "IN THAT DAY, I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT. (45:18) " AND THEN HE GOES ON TO SAY, "AND I WILL WRITE MY LAW ON THEIR HEARTS," WHICH is your mind. SO, IF YOU GOT THE HOLY GHOST, BUT YOU DIDN'T GET THE LAW OF GOD, YOU GOT THE HOLY ALMOST. SEE, BECAUSE PENTECOST BRINGS US INTO A commandment-keeping relationship with God. THIS RELATIONSHIP, WE DON'T KEEP COMMANDS. Because we don't learn about the law of God till we get to Mount Sinai. (45:49) What is Pentecost a representation of Mount Sinai? So, when we come here, now this is the level that many of you watching me have come to, and many of you in this room, you've come here. You've become a commandment keeper. You realize that this is more than God loving you, it's how do you love God back? Guess what that is? A 50/50. (46:14) NOW, YOU'RE LOVING AND OBEDIENT. But in this relationship, everything's got to be fair. In this level, EVERYTHING'S GOT TO BE FAIR. IF YOU'VE GOT A HOUSE FULL OF CHILDREN, THEY ALL LOVE EACH OTHER, BUT EVERYBODY'S GOT TO BE treated what? Fair. That's why in this level of your walk with God, Hasatan, Satan will come to convince you that God is not fair. (46:50) That he loves them as much as he loves you. And that why ARE YOU DOING THIS WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO AH I RECOGNIZE YOU slewfoot devil. Well, God's blessing them JUST LIKE HE'S BLESSING THE 60-FOLD BELIEVER. THEY DON'T KEEP COMMANDMENT BECAUSE I BUT YOU SEE, SATAN, I'M SMARTER THAN YOU. I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT ABOUT SALVATION. (47:19) THIS IS ABOUT GOVERNMENT. YES. IN THE MILLENNIUM REIGN. And this group's going to be just as saved as this group. And this group's going to be just as saved as this group. But only one of these groups is going to govern the other groups. Hallelujah. Yeah. Yeah. I've actually had somebody, I'm not going to mention names, tell me that they're in that 30-fold group and all, but tell me that I act like I'm better than everybody. (47:49) Sure. We get that all the time. We get that all the time. Baby, I'm not better than you. I'm different than you. Like I told them, I just have a better understanding. Thank you. That's it. And look, but now what you just set me up for is the next group because the next love is the 100-fold love. This is the only level that will have spiritual authority with God. (48:17) It's the 100-fold. They're walking in a different kind of love. Agape love is absolutely unconditional. Unconditional. Nothing you can do. It don't have to be fair. Oh. In this level, God don't even have to be fair. I love him so much. IN THIS LEVEL, I DON'T CARE IF HE BLESSES THEM EVEN MORE THAN ME. THIS LEVEL AND THE PROBLEM WITH the our movement is WE HAVE GOTTEN STUCK at the law Pentecost. (49:00) WE'VE GOTTEN STUCK AT MOUNT SINAI. WE'VE GOTTEN STUCK AT COMMANDMENT-KEEPING. WHILE WE'RE LOOKING OVER AT THIS GROUP MAKING FUN OF THEM FOR NOT KNOWING WHAT WE KNOW. And don't you realize because of that spirit, you're worse off than the 30-fold. This is the kind of love that Yeshua had, agape love. I'm not going to read it to you, but Romans 5 and 6 says that the love of God was manifested IN CHRIST, WHO DIED FOR THE UNGODLY AND HIS ENEMIES. (49:40) HE DID NOT DIE FOR THEM AFTER THEY BECAME SAINTS. HE DIED FOR YOU WHILE YOU WERE HIS ENEMY. I KNOW THE AUTHORITY I walk with in God, and do you know why that is? Cuz I don't have an enemy. And I won't let you become one. Shabbat. I don't have an enemy. And yet I have so many. I hope you're hearing what I'm saying. (50:16) I don't have an enemy. And yet I have so many. I'm determined to come into this level of authority with God to where he can trust me with my enemies. To trust me WITH THESE 30-FOLD BABIES THAT MAKE fun of my hundredfold knowledge. THAT MOCK ME FOR MY DESIRE TO MOVE INTO THIS arena with God. This level here. This level IS TABERNACLES. (51:05) THIS IS millennium reign level. Tabernacles represents not the law, not salvation, but the government of Yeshua. Metamorphosis. THE SABBATH DAY IS COMING to the earth, AND WHO'S COMING UP IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION? Only this group. THERE'S TWO RESURRECTIONS. THESE WILL NOT COME UP IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION. I CAN PROVE IT TO YOU FROM THE WORD OF GOD. (51:38) YOU THAT ARE COMING UP IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION, YOU WILL BE PART OF THE HUNDREDFOLD. WHY DO YOU THINK YOU'RE CALLED the 144? Cuz you were in the hundredfold. SHABBAT. ONLY THIS GROUP will train this group. But the way some of you treat this group, God wouldn't trust you to train them for nothing in the world. Listen, God, you did a work on me. (52:06) When I first came out of here into here, I was their enemy. I didn't realize it, but I thought it was my job to do the Holy Ghost job. But you see, as of late, in the last year, year and a half, I've been feeling God push me into those realms of a hundredfold anointing where you can love the unlovable. (52:33) You can love your enemies. YOU MUST BECOME LIKE CHRIST. PASSOVER, PENTECOST, but until you come to Tabernacles, the government of Yeshua. When a Christian begins to mature and learn obedience, he's like a child that needs his mama. But when a Christian comes to Tabernacles, he reaches a level of spiritual maturity, and he's learned to hear Follow me carefully. (53:14) He's learned to hear the commandment. He's learned to obey the commandment. He's learned to hear it. HE'S LEARNED TO OBEY IT. And here he's learned how to obey it. Instead of the how of the commandments, you need to learn the why of the commandments. When you've LEARNED THOSE THINGS, YOU START TO ENTER INTO THE experience of the final feast of Israel, Tabernacles. (53:44) THIS IS THE REALM OF AGAPE LOVE. OVERCOMERS, somebody read for me Matthew 6 and 12. Then somebody read for me Leviticus 19 and 18. I want to show you who these people are. Matthew 6 and 12. Someone read it quickly. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. If you are not Somebody say overcomers. Overcomers. Are forgivers. It didn't say if they ask you for forgive. See, watch this. (54:25) This group, everything's got to be fair, right? So when you're in this level, the only way you forgive is if they're fair and come and ask you to forgive. What? That's fair. You asked me to forgive you, I forgive you. That's fair. That's phileo. When you get here, I don't need it to be fair. I'm willing to take the beating for my enemies. (54:58) I'm trying to help somebody tonight. I DON'T NEED IT TO BE FAIR IN THIS REALM. I DON'T CARE THAT YOU DID THAT. I DON'T CARE THAT GOD LET YOU BUY WITH IT. SEE, when you're in this realm, you're looking for vindication on your enemies. I need you to hear me tonight. WHEN YOU'RE IN THIS REALM, YOU'RE WAITING ON GOD TO MAKE THINGS FAIR. (55:23) BUT WHEN YOU GET HERE, YOU COULD care less if he ever does. Why? You love him. You've got a relationship now where you're not even worried about what his plans are for these groups. You want to be in that number. Read Leviticus 19 and 18, somebody. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people. (55:50) But thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Did you just hear that? I need everybody to pay attention. There's a move of the Holy Spirit in this room tonight. I want you to hear this. Thou shalt not hold a grudge against God's people. Against the people of God. You know, many times I've been called weak because I let people walk over me. (56:24) There've been so many times when I should could have fought back and should have, maybe. But there is something that God put in me. It's beyond rationality. I can't get mad at nobody. And I've got some When I tell you I got some demon enemies. But listen to me. I'm determined. You see, I believe the message I preach. (56:54) I'm determined to let this a love feel my life to the point where I can you I want to be in that number. And I can't do it on my own. BUT GOD CAN DO it through me. Brother Vaughn, how do I get here? Let me show you how. If you came through this stage and you submitted in this stage, watch out. You're going to wind up at this stage. (57:25) Don't just be a commandment keeper. Love keeping the commandments. We got to have the mind of Christ. And I want everyone in this room tonight, before we close, to keep those numbers in your mind. Cuz that is the tape measure. You know, my wife gave me a tape measure today to start measuring myself. To see how I'm doing on my diet. (58:00) I want you to take this tape measure tonight. Everywhere you go, and I want you to measure your responses to see what level you're in. Sister, God has plans for you. And if nobody in Wayvelin, Mississippi, but me and you keep the Sabbath day, it's okay. I'm not keeping it now to please God. I'm keeping it because I love him. (58:34) And I know he loves his Sabbath. And I know that when we love one another, in this level, I had Brother Vaughn's not fair. Well, in this level, we'll pray for you. I don't want to hear nothing. We'll pray. When you have matured in God, listen to me, and I want you to hear this carefully. You will get spiritual authority, and you can speak what the Father says, and it will happen. (59:08) I've seen in my own life, Brother Ricky. I told my wife today, I said, "I've seen where I have spoke things before, and days later, I would see it happen." That comes because, first of all, I have to be careful to speak only what the Father says. When you hear it, now we ain't talking about your Cadillac. (59:33) We ain't talking about We're talking about things that matter. Tonight I spoke for your plane ticket to be paid for. That gives me no benefit whatsoever, does it? None. But I love my sister. And I want her to go to London even though I've never been and I want to go. But hey, I went to Maui so you can't say nothing, okay? But I love. So in closing, if you've all got commandments and you don't celebrate Christmas, you don't you don't you know Yahweh's name and you know all of this, the first time you judge one of your brothers or sisters for not (1:00:15) understanding it, you're not in the right level. So never let us become that ministry and we used to be. But let us never again.
