Did you know? William Peter Blatty, author of The Exorcist, a novel that was adapted into one of the highest grossing films of all time, once took aim at abortion. Blatty described in detail the gory surgical procedures in a particular type of abortion followed by several moments of silence then he added "That’s demonic"! While it is certainly ironic that the man who wrote perhaps the most famous work of horror in American history would be the one who called for devout adherence to the Christian faith, demanding that the demon of abortion be dealt with as it seems to be growing stronger. What sort of society would promote a procedure in which the bodies of the unborn are sliced up and ripped apart limb from limb? People call it a women’s rights issue. Why then is it that female babies are more likely to be aborted? We need to open our eyes. This isn't a Hollywood fright film. It’s real life horror, going on every day around us, with the committed support of the majority of Americans, either by their support or their silence about abortion. Blatty had one thing right, it’s truly depraved, wicked, evil and, yes, "demonic." ~ SHARE THIS! 911Babies.com Passion for Life! #AllForJesus

Matthew 18:1-10 The Importance of the Child. Many churches and believers have no clue how urgent and important this passage is. Jesus has just cast a demon from a child and that child is recovering from that possession. Is it possible that when Jesus says “this child” he is discussing the child from whom He had just cast the demon from because they are all still standing there when the disciples decide to bring up the subject of who the greatest in the Kingdom will be? Absolutely. Jesus is warning them with the strongest type warning that exists. He tells them that unless they have the humility of a child, they won't even get close to God's kingdom. A change has to occur from within to make that possible because a child won't be having the pride and stubbornness to fight against God that a sinful adult would. But one thing the progressive churches choose to fail to recognize is this: there is a very deliberate focused choice on the part of confessed Satanists to target children for sexual or sacrificial uses. And part of that use has been the inclusion of homosexuality into modern American life. It is seen as ‘evil’ to exclude gays from public discourse and discrimination to call it a sin. Even now there are believers being arrested in the UK for even standing in prayer publicly, but for a parade of LGBTQ dancers to dance through the streets yelling “WE'RE HERE. WE'RE QUEER. AND WE'RE COMING FOR YOUR CHILDREN!” is perfectly acceptable. If that doesn't show you that the source for all these political pro-gay pushes of the last 50 years were all from the same source, Satan, nothing will convince you. Satan's strategy has always been found in aiming for the youth, the future of a nation. The elite power structure of our nation, our world, is predicated on a set of pagan demonic influences. To deny the immense power that a set of elite pedophiles clearly has in this country, in this world, is ignoring evidence that has been slapping us in the face since the days of the Clinton presidency. The worship of Satan has not changed from the beginning. Infants are offered up and murdered in rituals that the leaders of our nation participate in. In ancient times it was a bronze statue that was heated white hot before an infant was placed upon it and burned alive. Today, Satan demands a sacrifice of the eldest child and many of the Baphomet worshipping elites offer that child in dedication to the service of Baphomet. The child is either made a blood offering in ritual sacrifice at birth (as in ancient times) and is eaten alive or is made a servant of Baphomet, requiring the castration of the eldest son. Does the fervor behind the trans-ideology begin to make sense yet amongst the political and Hollywood elites? It is Satanic. It is evil. And Jesus said the world would be a better place if those people would be launched into the deepest part of the sea with a ton-sized rock tied to their necks. These are the people who a generation ago said all they wanted was a cake and now are actively marching through the public streets chanting about being after the children. It's always been about gaining access to the children. From the push to legalize gay adoptions to the increased efforts to dress in drag and read to children it has ALWAYS been about abusing kids. And Jesus tried to warn us. Our stance against homosexuality is for the express purpose of protecting the children because they have shown a consistent propensity of targeting our children. It's time to stop attempting to avoid the subject in order to not offend people. Children are being raped, victimized and it's allowed to continue for fear of angering a trans-activist. The Hell that awaits for those who rape children, including former President's, movie stars etc is one that surely will cause eternal regret on their part. Jesus said it'd be better if the ones who are out to victimize children were being actively drowned In the sea. If your church affirms trans-kids it's because someone at the church wants to rape them. Period. And Jesus says that God will give extra consideration toward their punishment because the angels watch them closely. So the cowards who refuse to stand on biblical teaching to appease will suffer the same fate as those who actively did abuse children. And the followers of that ‘church’ will endure the same Hell the rapists will. Do you understand the warnings now? How important it is to adhere to scripture rather than cave to current political pressure in the interests of not offending pedophiles? Do you see that Satan is working overtime because he knows his time is short? Do you realize that evil doesn't even hide anymore? If even just 10 years ago you had said that there would be a time when grown adult professionals would be too afraid to admit that a man couldn't get pregnant you would have been laughed out of the room. If 5 years ago a male high school student had dressed as a girl to enter the girls restroom, then raped a female student, and the high school had transferred him instead of arresting him where he then raped another female student all to avoid offending this “trans-student” and/or his litigious parents…oh wait, this did happen 5 years ago. The reason that this society has degenerated so quickly into utter insanity is all because Satan is consolidating his efforts. He knows Jesus is on His Way and in a matter of seconds it will be over for him. The current idea of gays aligning their ideology to be so anti-god that they plan trips in support of Hamas or Gaza over Israel or God's chosen people betrays the truth. Both Palestinian Muslims and Gay activists hate Israel, because Israel is the nation God chose to bless the world through. But Palestinian Muslims execute homosexuals regularly. So why do the gays align with a group who would murder them? Because the source of both is Satan, they are aligning against God. If you want to know if you are on the ungodly side of an argument consider who ELSE supports that view. Join us today for our 24 hour prayer and fasting day at Lordsbook on the Porch Ministries page. [1] At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” [2] And He called a child to Himself and set him among them, [3] and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you change and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. [4] So whoever will humble himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. [5] And whoever receives one such child in My name, receives Me; [6] but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea. [7] “Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to the person through whom the stumbling block comes! [8] “And if your hand or your foot is causing you to sin, cut it off and throw it away from you; it is better for you to enter life maimed or without a foot, than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire. [9] And if your eye is causing you to sin, tear it out and throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter life with one eye, than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fiery hell. [10] “See that you do not look down on one of these little ones; for I say to you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven.

PAT BOONE: THE MAN BEHIND THE CLEAN-CUT IMAGE Long before the Jesus Movement had a name, there was a young man from Tennessee named Pat Boone. Clean cut. Polite. Christian. Married young. And he became one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. He sang. He acted. He hosted television. He became a teen idol and one of the most recognizable faces in America. And then there was Elvis Presley. Elvis was rock ’n’ roll. Pat was… well, Pat Boone. You probably wouldn’t have put those two together at the same table. But they became friends. In fact, they lived near each other in Bel Air, worked around the same Hollywood circles, and Elvis would sometimes visit Pat’s home. And here’s one of my favorite little stories. Pat’s daughters would jump into the swimming pool and splash Elvis. Pat apparently felt the need to remind them that they were getting Elvis wet. Elvis’s response? “Leave ’em alone, man. I like it.” The King of Rock ’n’ Roll apparently had no problem being attacked by a bunch of little girls with water wings. But beneath the humor was something deeper. Elvis knew Pat was a Christian. And Elvis trusted him. At one point, Elvis told Pat he wished he could go to church like Pat did. But fame made it almost impossible. If Elvis walked into church, people would recognize him, ask for autographs and turn worship into a spectacle. Later, while Elvis was performing in Las Vegas, he asked Pat… “Do you know Oral Roberts?” Elvis wanted to talk with the famous evangelist. Pat basically told him, “You’re Elvis Presley. Pick up the phone!” Think about that. The King of Rock ’n’ Roll was asking his Christian friend for help connecting with a Christian evangelist. That doesn’t mean Elvis suddenly became the Christian Pat hoped he would become. But it tells us something important. Elvis was searching. And he knew he could talk to Pat about spiritual things. Then came the Jesus Movement. Hippies were coming to Christ. Young people with long hair and very short patience for organized religion were showing up in churches. Rock music was being turned toward Jesus. And Pat Boone stepped into it. He founded Lamb & Lion Records, helping give Christian musicians a place to make contemporary music about Jesus. But Pat didn’t hide from the culture. In 1972, he and his wife and daughters even performed at a Playboy Club. Pat openly disagreed with the Playboy philosophy. But he went anyway. Why? Because he believed Christians didn’t have to hide from people they disagreed with. He could walk into a place without becoming part of that place. He could love people without agreeing with everything they believed. And maybe that’s the lesson. Pat Boone didn’t have to become Elvis to be his friend. He didn’t have to compromise his faith to love someone who didn’t share it. He simply stayed who he was. A Christian. A friend. A man willing to walk into places where Christians weren’t always expected to go. And perhaps that’s one of the things the Jesus Movement understood better than we sometimes do today…. Jesus didn’t tell us to love only people who already looked like us. He told us to love people. Period. Sometimes friendship opens a door that preaching never could. And sometimes the person sitting across the table from you isn’t looking for an argument. They’re looking for someone they can trust. Maybe that’s why Elvis trusted Pat Boone. And maybe that’s why we should remember the story. Be the kind of Christian people aren’t afraid to call when they’re searching. ✝️ #JesusMovement #PatBoone #ElvisPresley #JesusMusic #ChristianHistory #ChristianMusic #FaithAndCulture #GodsGrace

continuation chapter two 2.2 Now, don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying you don't need the knowledge. You absolutely need it. Without knowledge, you'd jump in and try to breathe underwater like a particularly optimistic fish. The knowledge gives you faith in the process. It tells you that the water can, in fact, hold you up, that these awkward, flailing motions have meaning and might eventually become graceful. It gives you a reason to keep spluttering. But you still need to practice. You still need to drill. You still need to drown a little before you can swim a lot. You'll drink so much pool water that you'll be able to taste the chlorine in your dreams. You'll cough, you'll gag, you'll question why you ever left the shore of theoretical comfort where the books were dry and the certificates were safe. The righteous life is not a certificate on your wall; it's a rhythm in your limbs, a muscle memory of the soul. And muscles don't grow by reading about protein; they grow by lifting something heavy and then feeling sore the next day and complaining to everyone about it. ‎ ‎So it is with righteousness. One can study the Scriptures until their eyes cross and they've developed a permanent squint. One can quote verses on grace with the speed and precision of an auctioneer on caffeine. One can recite the doctrines of justification and sanctification forward, backward, and in the original Hebrew while juggling concordances. One can intellectually affirm with perfect, shining orthodoxy that Christ is the living water, and say "Amen" so loudly that the person in the next pew spills their coffee. But that, my friend, is merely reading about water. It is studying the molecular structure, the boiling point, the freezing point, the historical significance of water in the ancient Near East. It is all accurate, all true, all very impressive in a Bible trivia competition. But your throat is still parched. You are dying of thirst while holding a library card to the well. To be free from sin, you must dive into the discipline. You must practice patience when every fiber of your being wants to scream and throw a chair through a window—preferably the window of the person who is currently testing your patience. And not patience with gritted teeth and a twitching eye—that's not patience, that's just anger in a corset, anger with a fake mustache and glasses, anger doing a very poor impression of a calm person. No, you must steadily come to be in love with patience, to find it a fascinating companion, to court it like a shy lover, choosing it freely and wantonly, not because you have to but because you genuinely prefer it. You don't practice patience to make the Old Man in the Sky nod approvingly and slide a gold star across the heavenly counter. That would be theatre, a performance, a pretence, a dinner party where everyone is polite and no one is real. It would be you watching yourself be patient, which is the fastest way to become impatient with your own patience, which leads to a meta-crisis of infinite regress: you're angry that you're angry about being angry about trying to be patient. The work is not a bribe. The work is the transformation of your own taste buds. ‎ ‎And this brings us to the great confusion, the grand misunderstanding that has produced more theatrical saints than a Hollywood casting call. Some say, with great authority, "You must practice self-control when temptation whispers." But let's examine that. Let's put it on the operating table and poke it with a scalpel. What is mere self-control? Isn't it often just controlling the evil that is inside you, making sure it doesn't leak out and stain your shirt? Isn't it just hiding the monster in the closet when guests come over, shoving it behind the winter coats and the old photo albums, while it continues to growl and scratch at the door and probably eat your shoes? A man who is seething with rage but has "controlled" himself, presenting a placid smile to the world while his internal organs are staging a violent coup, has not practiced righteousness at all. He has practiced concealment. He has become a beautifully decorated tomb, full of very active dead men's bones—which is, coincidentally, exactly what Jesus called the Pharisees in Matthew 23:27. He hasn't dealt with the rage; he's just soundproofed the room. The rage is still in there, doing squats, getting stronger, waiting for the guests to leave so it can come out and redecorate the living room with thrown lamps. This is not the practice of righteousness. This is spiritual stage management. It's a war tactic, hiding the dangerous artillery under a tarp and wheeling it out again when the truce is over. The bitterness is still there, polishing its weapons, writing passive-aggressive letters, keeping a detailed list of every offense ever committed against you since kindergarten. ‎ ‎What, then, is this work we must do? It is not the suppression of the symptom. It is the re-training of the heart. It is the long, sometimes tedious, often unglamorous work of learning to love what is good, not just performing it for an Audience of One who, by the way, can see backstage and knows you're wearing a wire. It is the work of taking the anti-malarial tablet when you don't feel like it, when the pill seems bitter, when your flesh wants to spit it out and go back to the fever dreams. It is the work of getting into the water of discipline when the shore of theoretical knowledge is so much more comfortable, so much drier, so much less likely to expose your flailing limbs. It is the work of raising the sail—pulling the rope one more time when your arms are tired, when the wind seems absent, when the harbor looks so inviting with its stationary boats and its non-sailing people who never have to worry about storms. It is the work of not generating the wind, but cooperating with it. ‎ ‎And if you will do this work—this unsexy, unglamorous, nobody-is-watching, nobody-is-clapping, nobody-is-writing-a-worship-song-about-your-effort work—you will find one day, to your utter and complete astonishment, that you are no longer acting patient. You simply are patient. The role you played has become the self you are. The costume has become your skin. The habit has become your heartbeat. And that, my friends, is not a lightning bolt. It is a sunrise. Slow, silent, and absolutely unstoppable. And when it comes, you won't even notice at first. You'll just be drinking your coffee one morning, and someone will cut you off in traffic, and you'll wish them well—genuinely—and then you'll catch yourself in the rearview mirror and laugh out loud, because the thing you were striving for has become the thing you are. The swimmer has become the swimming. The patient one has become the patience. And God, the Great Physician, the Master Swimming Instructor, the Captain of the Wind, will smile and say, "Finally, you got in the water. I've been waiting. Now let's go a little deeper." ‎

ANOTHER KAMEL AND KNAT SATIRE NEWS STORY WARNING! Rated G-PS for POLITICAL SATIRE The Kamel and Knat Hollywood Insiders Say Reboots for Whoopie Goldberg Movies to Be Played by White Conservative Women to Due to Controversies Click Below for Important Details and 3 Actual Photos: https://open.substack.com/pub/kamelandknat/p/hollywood-insiders-say-reboots-for?r=2u8e73&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

daily devotion for July 20th The Greatest Love My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. John 15:12-13 This section begins and ends with the command of Jesus: I command you to love one another. The fact that this is put in the imperative mode means it is not an option in our life. It is not something we do if we feel like it. It is to be a deliberate response to another person whom we know to be in the family of God, regardless of how we feel toward that person. Many people struggle at this point. They say, How can you command love? Love is a feeling, and if you don't love somebody, you can't help it. Love is our master; we do not master it. Those who say these things reveal that they have a very serious misconception of love. Unfortunately, we are victims of Hollywood, Bollywood and Nollyhood in this respect. We think of love as a feeling we have of affection toward another. But love, as Jesus speaks of it here, is far different. We can be sure of one thing: He would never command us to do what is impossible for us to do. The secret, of course, is that we are to love, He says, as I have loved you. This kind of love is to arise out of the same kind of relationship that He has with the Father that made it possible for Him to love us. In this same manner, and from the same source, we are to love one another with the same quality of love. He loved us because God is love, and He was indwelt by the Father. He was in the Father, and the Father in Him. As He yielded to that relationship, love flowed out. It could not help it--God is love. Since God is love, as we yield to that relationship to the Son, love flows from us. And it will have the qualities that His love has. He goes on to define for us the aspects of love that mark the quality of His love for us, which we also are to show to one another. The first is given in the words, Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. Love lays down its life for another. We all know how fully Jesus Himself exemplified this. His is the greatest love that anyone can demonstrate toward friends. Obviously this means more than simply dying physically for them. If it meant only that, there would be very few of us who could or would ever fulfill this, largely because we would lack the opportunity to do so. And, of course, one could do so only once! But our Lord is commanding us to do this repeatedly. So He means by this that we are to give ourselves up for one another. When you go out of your way to meet a friend's need, when you are willing to spend time with someone who is a Christian just because that one is a Christian--not necessarily because you are drawn to that person--and you are willing to go out of your way and to give yourself up for him or her, you are laying down your life, a part of it at least, for that person. This is what Jesus had in mind. Lord, You have loved me with this kind of love. Now I pray that this same love would flow through me to others in the body of Christ.

When Jesus continues His teaching after He was accused of casting out demons using Satan's power and warning that those who blasphemed the Holy Spirit have no chance at forgiveness any longer. He then expands on that teaching by emphasizing a comparison of trees and treasure. It is not logical to approach a Manchineel tree expecting to pick an apple. The Manchineel tree is considered the most poisonous tree in Florida. It is often called the tree of death as a simple touch can cause great, lasting pain. In this tree are fruit called the apples of death for their extreme toxicity. Now, this tree serves a purpose in God's creation that has nothing to do with this lesson. So, we will use that as our example of a ‘bad tree’. But Jesus says quite clearly that a bad tree won't produce a good fruit. Likewise, a good tree doesn't produce a bad fruit. In the same way, the teachings of these Jewish leaders were ‘bad trees’ from which nothing good can come. Granted, our culture idolizes the idea of the “good” that can come from a bad source. Hollywood has for decades made movies about a demon with a conscience. The entire series of Supernatural was utter blasphemy considering God as the bad guy. So when Jesus tells them that they will know whether a tree is good based on whether it produced good fruit. If it doesn't, it's a bad tree. He turns the anger toward the slandering Jewish leaders. Sons of snakes He calls them, Their disposition is not one of intellectually honest Jews. They acknowledged miracles were done, but because their power was threatened they then ascribed the power Jesus had to Satan. He straight up calls them evil. Not ‘misled’, not ‘sincerely wrong’ but evil. What they spoke came from their heart which was also, evil. Jesus tells them our words we speak come from our hearts, and if our hearts are evil, how can anything good be p4oduced by that same heart. Now Jesus gets scary. He says that we will give an account for all we've said. Careless Words He calls them. What is the lesson here? That a good person doesn't produce bad, for his heart is filled with the goodness of God, His word and the Holy Spirit. Ask yourself, what am I producing? That at judgment words we speak will be used to condemn and judge us, or to bless us. Ask yourself, am I regularly speaking ill of someone? Swearing too much? At all? Matthew 12:33-37 [33] “Either assume the tree to be good as well as its fruit good, or assume the tree to be bad as well as its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit. [34] You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, express any good things? For the mouth speaks from that which fills the heart. [35] The good person brings out of his good treasure good things; and the evil person brings out of his evil treasure evil things. [36] But I tell you that for every careless word that people speak, they will give an account of it on the day of judgment. [37] For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

I came across someone who said "since I have been a Christian following the steps of Jesus nothing was working out, but immediately I changed religion and becomes a traditionalist everything changes and now I have a car and a house". Well i responded with, "Congratulations on your new car, and I am genuinely happy for you, especially if it was acquired through honest and legitimate means". However, i shared something with him. I told him that,one of Hollywood's most successful actor(Will Smith). He once expressed in a podcast that he had reached the pinnacle of wealth and possessed virtually everything money could buy, yet he still found an emptiness within and could not find true satisfaction for his soul. Many people believe that money is the solution to all of life's problems. But there comes a level of wealth where a person realizes that money, by itself, cannot truly satisfy the human heart. Material possessions can provide comfort and pleasure, but they cannot fill the deepest void within a man. The only satisfaction that leaves no emptiness, no longing, and no vacuum in the soul is found in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. True peace, fulfillment, and lasting joy are not found in possessions or riches, but in a genuine relationship with Him. I don't know the reason why people equate the material things of this world with eternity. may God give us grace to keep standing even in this perilous and wicked generation

The Daily Price You Must Pay to Break Free from Old Appetites, Lusts & Desires What is holiness? One, it means that I am separated unto God. I want to tell us the meaning of this one, of this meaning. That doesn't mean I don't go to work, that doesn't mean I don't go to Target, to Walmart, that doesn't mean I don't visit people, but this is what it means. I can only do what God wants me to do. Can you see that life? As I go to the office, they may want me to do something to their accounts in order to manipulate a few things. It's unfortunate, I cannot do that because I am separated unto God. I can only be a party to that which God approves. If God does not approve it, I'm not part of it. And I hope you know if you live that way, you might lose a few jobs. You might lose a few jobs, you might lose favor, you might lose promotion because everyone that wants to live godly in this present world will suffer persecution. So, I am separated unto God. Only God can operate me. So, the things that God cannot do, God would not approve, I cannot be doing because I am separated unto God. Two, God saturates me with himself. This saturation that God does, this is what changes my desires. Are you there? Maybe before someone gave his life to Christ, he had 14 girlfriends. They were spread across the US. One in Arizona, right there. The other one in San Francisco, El Paso. He was busy. May God give you understanding. Now he comes to the Lord, so he has an appetite for women. But you see, because he separates himself to the Lord, and I'm not saying he may not struggle initially. You are not with me. You see, that struggle, the struggle he is struggling, is a proof that he is born again. He fell one or two times and all of that, but he did not stay there because something inside did not allow him to stay there. That's a proof that he is born again. Now, the reason why he will find victory is because he comes to a point in his separation when God now saturates with himself. He will now discover that the things that held him bound before, he naturally has victory. He will think that he is the one that has become more holy. He will know that it is God that is saturating him with himself. So when God begins to, this is the organic aspect of holiness, when God begins to saturate him with himself, his desires will begin to change. Somebody that knows him, when he used to make flights, he would make flights to California, L.A., Hollywood. So the people that know him in that ring, when they see him as a creature that is saturated by God, his desires have changed. Are you following? His perspective has changed. His appetite has changed. You see him running for Bible study, running for prayer meeting, 10 hours. The people that knew him before would say, you see, because he is saturated with God, God is the one that is responsible for the new desires that drives him. Although he doesn't know that very heavy supernatural things are taking place in his life, but he noticed that he has desire to go for 10 hours. He wants to be in Bible study. He almost hit someone because he was trying to make sure he arrives early. That's someone that will be in Arizona in the heat of the summer. When plastic melts, he's dead. Amen. His desires have changed. The reason why your desires change is because you are saturated. So he's saturating your vessel. That is the proof that he accepted your consecration. Then he begins to saturate you. Your appetite changes. And then in one year, in two years, you yourself know you have changed. You know, it's easy for people to know when they change becomes so much that you know. How many of you, after you started eating 7 hours prayer and 10 hours prayer, you know that you change? You see, it's the saturation. It's loud. It's becoming intense. Your desires have changed. You know what happened to you? You have been made, that's what we call, you have been made a virgin again. That's what we call the second hand virgin. This is a virginity that has come by reason of Holy Spirit transformation. And when we are giving you out to a guy to marry you, we know that that past doesn't exist again. And even the man will testify. He'll come and say, ah, you gave me something. You gave me something. May the Lord give you understanding. So, so do you now realize the man said that consecration is a direct fruit. No, no, no. Consecration is a life of personal holiness. In which a believer is separated unto God and can no longer participate in anything that God has not inspired. Are you there? So his taste buds, taste buds, taste buds are changed. There's this guy, there's this guy. He's one of us, but he's in another nation. He's not in the U.S. He had all the brands of cigarettes in Africa. I don't know the brands here. He has sampled all of them. So if he smells root mass, so this is, this is, this root mass, this root mass, this root mass. If he smells benzene ahedges, this is, this is, this is benzene ahedges. So he has been, in fact, one time he was preaching to somebody, but he had sticks of cigarettes in his throat. Oh God, oh God. And that was how God began to saturate him and saturate him. He was able to go beyond root mass and benzene ahedges and saturate him. And the time now came, he had to counsel, I think it was, yeah, counsel with somebody in a shop somewhere. And somebody was with cigarettes. He almost threw up. Because, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Spirit, when the Holy Spirit is done with dealing with that appetite, the things you used to enjoy before. So that life is what E.M. Barnes calls the consecrated life. It means that we cannot separate the life of personal holiness from the consecrated life. So if you, if you are consecrated, your life will be going in the direction of holiness. He said he can no longer participate in anything that God has not inspired. Consecrated believers always sense the need to confirm if God is in a thing before getting involved. So someone comes, they say he's a billionaire. He's been, he has five companies and money is just flowing. And he's saying that this is the lady that I want to get married. And then the lady said, you hold on. We've seen your type before. Well, let's go and find out from the Lord if, because some of you will be happier if you, with less money. Or you don't know. You get into that arrangement, you become a piece of furniture. At first, for the first two years, you'll be going around like a model. Then that's all you will have. So you see, the person now goes to check. And then God now says, you know what? You cannot fulfill my purpose in that arrangement. And you'll find the person saying no to something that looks flashy. And the rest of the people says you are mad. Consecration will make people say you are mad. Because you have a different perspective. Don't be afraid of being called mad. Because what it means is that you are no longer like your age, your eon, your generation. You are different. And the reason for your difference is because you are separated unto God. Every man separated unto God is called different. If in a day where pastors are merchants, pastors are unjust, pastors are not in the service of Jesus, you look like them. It means you lost your consecration. Because in that day, you are supposed to look different. If it is true that you are separated unto God. Sometimes the accurate might be the few. So if you are not secure enough in Jesus to be different, it means you have not embraced the life of consecration. So holiness has two sides. So this side is sanctify yourself, that's consecration. Then the Lord will sanctify you, that is saturation. It is these two things that make for the sanctified life. Someone that is giving himself to the Lord every day through prayer. Are you there? And then the Lord is possessing him and saturating him. He's possessing him. That cycle is a cycle of the sanctified life. If that man stands close to the enemy, the enemy will scream. Because he's not of this world. Satan has no plans to meet such people on earth. He's not of this world. He's saturated with God. The things that will happen if God were present will happen in his presence. Because through the process of giving himself and God sanctifying him, him and God are becoming one. This is the greatest gospel. And it is when people are sanctified like this. Yeah? You have a question? Okay. Please equip him with a microphone. Yes? So as far as the consecrated life is concerned, does this mean that our personality will change? And what are some things that we can do to manage our emotions? Tell me. We must be talking what we are talking within a context. You have a spirit. Is that true? You have a soul which consists of your mind. It consists of your will and what? Emotions. Then you have what? A body. Is that true? Your body has what we call appetites. Is that true? These appetites, A, is the need to rest. Rest is an appetite. B, thirst is an appetite. C, hunger is an appetite. D, the need to see is an appetite. Need to see. That's how people got into pornography. Because they want to see something. D, sex is an appetite. Yeah, I believe I got all of them here. What? Sleep, that's rest. So when you are tired, your body begins to communicate. Is that true? It doesn't say, ah, I'm tired. No, but it begins to communicate. And then you read the language. And that language, what it communicates in rest is different from thirst. Thirst is different from hunger. You get that? Good. This body here, sin, which is a nature, the nature of Satan is what we call sin. Sin wants to govern all of these appetites that are in your body. And then provide a legitimate ground for you to honor these appetites above the instructions of the Holy Ghost. Just like Satan came to Jesus on the appetite of hunger and said, if you are the son of God, turn these stones into bread so that you can satisfy your what? Okay, this is my class. You are not interested in any of that. Can you say that? So the devil wants to use these appetites as a means of dethroning the Holy Spirit and refusing him a place of authority in your life. When he's calling you to pray in the night, the devil, sin will activate rest. And this rest will be so compelling. So that you now convince yourself that, ah, I need rest now. I need rest. You know the Holy Ghost is calling you to stand before him, but sin was able to convince you to disobey the Holy Ghost using what? Rest as an excuse. So that day, you're yielding to rest, to sleep. That day, sleep, that day was sin. Because in accepting to sleep, you rebelled against the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Are you still following me? So I want you to see this problem. We have a problem. This one is happening in your body, the appetites. And the devil wants to hold you captive from that standpoint. That's not all. So when I have your mind, the old mind that you had when you were in downtown, that old mind does not leave. That old mind is still there. The old emotion that you had, are you following me? That you love, you love too much. You love on the train, you are loving. On the airplane, you are loving. In economy cabin, you are loving, you are loving. Jesus, may Lord help us. Now this is it. When the saturation begins, and God begins to saturate you, the object, the purpose of saturating you is to make you holy. The first thing he will begin to do is that he will begin to work on your mind. He will begin to renew that saturation. It will begin to do what? Renew your mind. The saturation will begin to stabilize your emotion. The saturation will begin to encourage you to surrender. Surrender your will to his own will. Are you following me? These things will not happen. You don't know how stubborn we are. You believe that your small brain is so intelligent, so wise. Then God will allow you to use your brain. You use it, then you will not fail. Then you will not know that you cannot depend on the brain. Even though the brain is still there, you will still want to seek God. And then God now shows the way before you begin to apply the brain. It means your mind, you are having spiritual experiences that has informed the fact that God is beyond your brain, and you will need to still seek his face before you chart your course. Are you following me? Now in the emotion area, you will go and love. You will love the Rolling Stone and you will love the person with all your heart because you believe that if you love enough, things will work. Then this Rolling Stone that you have invested so much love on will just walk away. Then you will now discover that you were the only one loving. And then you will now be willing to allow God to govern your emotions. And then for the strong will type, you will now hit somebody and the person will now die. So you will now pray and say, God if you can raise this woman. And then she will sneeze and wake up. You will now know that you need to surrender it. All of these things are happening to you because God is saturating you. As he is saturating you, he is trying to defeat your stronghold. And it will happen through actions, activities, situations and circumstances that are beyond your control. But he is the one that is at work. It might look serious, terrible, you are on the bed, your blood pressure has gone up. He allowed it so that he can defeat your emotion. There is a stronghold, you have to defeat it. So that the demons that come to provoke that emotion, when it is stabilized, they can no longer relate with that realm. Are you there? So the name of that process on your mind is called renewal. That's what it is. The name here is called surrender. The name here is called stabilization. And then in this chamber, he drives up the authority that these chambers have. So that none of this can influence you. When the Holy Spirit says, stand before me, you are resting, you are tired, but you are obedient enough in heart to take the first step, to speak the first tongue, and to wait for him to strengthen you with might by his Spirit in your inner man. You will now discover that that rest, that feeling of rest was a lie, was a shadow. It doesn't have true foundations. So if you rebel against it, it will fizzle out. And that's how you feel lost. It's on you. Lost. You are looking. It doesn't have any foundations. If you decide to ignore it, it will fizzle out. It has no foundation. Because God has already crucified the flesh. So the flesh no longer has foundations. You can ignore it. Nothing will happen. Because it's not real. It's a shadow. When it begins to saturate you more, then you begin to discover that there is life beyond appetite. Are you there? He begins to saturate you more. The things that used to control you. You can't sleep. Don't worry. Don't worry. Don't worry. Just ask him to help you. A day will come, your sleep will be nothing because you are saturated. This thing is not a miracle. It will be gradual as if you are growing. And a day will come, they offer you free sex. You say no. You know why? Because you are saturated. Nobody can make you like that, only God. And the process of him making you like that begins with you giving over yourself through the instrumentality of prayer. That's the vision that God has for every one of us. So the man that has attained the sanctified life is somebody that Satan needs to weep about because Satan cannot manipulate him. Consecration is more than a spiritual activity. It is a lifestyle of personal holiness. At its core, holiness means being separated unto God. This does not mean withdrawing from society or avoiding everyday responsibility. It means living with the conviction that only what God approves can have a place in your life. A consecrated believer is not controlled by culture, pleasure, opportunities, or personal gain, but by the will of God. The journey of consecration begins when a person willingly gives himself to God. But it does not stop there. As that surrender continues through prayer, fellowship, and obedience, God begins to saturate that person's life with his presence. This divine saturation gradually changes desires, appetites, perspectives, and priorities. Things that once seemed attractive begin to lose their grip, while spiritual things become increasingly precious. This transformation is not merely self-discipline or human effort. It is the work of God within a yielded heart. The believer discovers that victory over old habits, sinful desires, and destructive patterns comes because God is actively shaping his nature from the inside out. The more God fills a person, the more their lives reflect his character. Consecration also produces a different mindset. Before making decisions, the believer seeks to know whether God is involved. Even when attractive opportunities present themselves, he is willing to walk away if they do not align with God's purposes. Because of this, consecrated people may appear strange to others, but their difference is evidence that they belong to God. The sanctified life is the combination of two realities, man separating himself unto God, and God saturating that man with himself. As this process continues, God renews his mind, stabilizes emotions, and teaches the will to submit to his leadership. The appetites and desires that once dominated a person's life gradually lose their power. Eventually, the believer begins to live above the control of the flesh and become increasingly governed by the Holy Spirit. Such a person becomes difficult for the enemy to manipulate because his life is no longer driven by impulses, emotions, or worldly desires, but by a growing union with God. This is the vision of consecration, a life so surrendered and saturated with God that his nature becomes visible through every aspect of a person's life. Thank you for Listening.
