- Prophecy is oftenmisunderstood.
- 00:00:01.393 --> 00:00:02.361
- The Bible clearly tells usthat all can prophesy
- 00:00:02.461 --> 00:00:05.564
- so that we mayencourage others.
- 00:00:05.664 --> 00:00:07.499
- With practice,we can all prophesy
- 00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:09.201
- because we can all hear God.
- 00:00:09.301 --> 00:00:11.203
- Join my pastor,Robert Morris,
- 00:00:11.303 --> 00:00:12.971
- as he clarifies the roleof prophecy in our lives.

- 00:00:16.108 --> 00:00:31.256
- ROBERT MORRIS: The title ofthe message this week is:
- 00:00:31.356 --> 00:00:33.358
- "I'm a Prophet","I'm a Prophet".
- 00:00:33.459 --> 00:00:37.162
- Now, I want you tounderstand, I'm using I,
- 00:00:37.262 --> 00:00:39.398
- the first person here,but I'm referring to you,
- 00:00:39.498 --> 00:00:42.000
- as if you're saying this.
- 00:00:42.101 --> 00:00:43.235
- So I'm not talking aboutthe office of a prophet, like,
- 00:00:43.335 --> 00:00:46.738
- apostle, prophet, evangelist,pastor, and teacher
- 00:00:46.839 --> 00:00:49.141
- that are for theequipping of the saints,
- 00:00:49.241 --> 00:00:50.843
- those five offices.
- 00:00:50.943 --> 00:00:52.010
- But I'm talking about,
- 00:00:52.111 --> 00:00:53.412
- and I'm going to show youthe scripture in a moment,
- 00:00:53.512 --> 00:00:55.814
- that you can all prophesyand that's what the Bible says.
- 00:00:55.914 --> 00:01:00.752
- So, let's go back here,Numbers 11.
- 00:01:00.853 --> 00:01:03.755
- This is right after Mosessaid to God the prayer,
- 00:01:03.856 --> 00:01:08.961
- what I call the prayerof ever burned out pastor,
- 00:01:09.061 --> 00:01:12.231
- if you love me, kill me.That's what was his prayer.
- 00:01:12.331 --> 00:01:15.100
- [laughter]
- 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:16.335
- And God said, "You need help.You need some elders."
- 00:01:16.435 --> 00:01:19.037
- So, this is the firsttime we have elders
- 00:01:19.138 --> 00:01:20.672
- coming in to play inthe congregation of Israel
- 00:01:20.772 --> 00:01:23.408
- and so that happensand then here's what he says,
- 00:01:23.509 --> 00:01:25.978
- Numbers 11:24.
- 00:01:26.078 --> 00:01:28.647
- "So, Moses wen out and told thepeople the words of the Lord.
- 00:01:28.747 --> 00:01:32.084
- 'I was to set in elders.'
- 00:01:32.184 --> 00:01:33.886
- And he gathered the 70 menof the elders of the people
- 00:01:33.986 --> 00:01:36.822
- and placed themaround the tabernacle.
- 00:01:36.922 --> 00:01:39.024
- Then the Lord came down inthe cloud and spoke to him."
- 00:01:39.124 --> 00:01:44.463
- Again, I just want youto notice, God speaks to people.
- 00:01:44.563 --> 00:01:47.032
- It's all through scripture.
- 00:01:47.132 --> 00:01:48.634
- "And God, again, is the subjectof this sentence,
- 00:01:48.734 --> 00:01:51.603
- took of the spiritthat was upon him, Moses,
- 00:01:51.703 --> 00:01:55.440
- and placed the sameupon the 70 elders."
- 00:01:55.541 --> 00:01:59.344
- By the way, that's when youhave problems in the church,
- 00:01:59.444 --> 00:02:01.647
- is when an elderhas a different spirit
- 00:02:01.747 --> 00:02:04.016
- than the pastor.That's a problem.
- 00:02:04.116 --> 00:02:05.350
- But God came and putthe same spirit on the elders.
- 00:02:05.450 --> 00:02:08.520
- "And it happened whenthe Spirit rested upon them
- 00:02:08.620 --> 00:02:12.024
- that the prophesied althoughthey never did so again."
- 00:02:12.124 --> 00:02:19.398
- It's very important,when the Spirit rested,
- 00:02:19.498 --> 00:02:22.568
- the word rested, on them,they prophesied,
- 00:02:22.668 --> 00:02:25.037
- although they neverdid so again.
- 00:02:25.137 --> 00:02:26.271
- So, we'll come back to that.
- 00:02:26.371 --> 00:02:28.273
- "But two men hadremained in the camp.
- 00:02:28.373 --> 00:02:31.143
- The name of the one was Eldad
- 00:02:31.243 --> 00:02:33.278
- and the nameof the other Medad",
- 00:02:33.378 --> 00:02:35.047
- and they hada brother named Yodad.
- 00:02:35.147 --> 00:02:37.349
- [laughter]
- 00:02:37.449 --> 00:02:43.188
- I just could not resist.
- 00:02:43.288 --> 00:02:46.892
- Okay, "and the spiritrested upon them."
- 00:02:46.992 --> 00:02:50.963
- That's the two in the camp.
- 00:02:51.063 --> 00:02:53.031
- Now, they wereamong those listed,
- 00:02:53.131 --> 00:02:54.733
- they were among the 70,
- 00:02:54.833 --> 00:02:56.468
- but who had not goneout to the tabernacle,
- 00:02:56.568 --> 00:02:58.637
- yet they prophesied in the camp.
- 00:02:58.737 --> 00:03:01.306
- And a young man ranand told Moses and said,
- 00:03:01.406 --> 00:03:03.742
- "Eldad and Medadare prophesying in the camp."
- 00:03:03.842 --> 00:03:07.246
- So, Joshua, the son of Nun,"
- 00:03:07.346 --> 00:03:09.414
- -- that's sad;he didn't have a mother.
- 00:03:09.514 --> 00:03:11.516
- Okay, never mind, son of “none”.Okay, all right.
- 00:03:14.586 --> 00:03:20.392
- Ask someone laterif you didn't get it.
- 00:03:20.492 --> 00:03:21.927
- All right, "Moses's assistant,
- 00:03:22.027 --> 00:03:23.795
- one of his choice menanswered and said,
- 00:03:23.895 --> 00:03:25.697
- "Moses, my lord, forbid them."
- 00:03:25.797 --> 00:03:27.799
- So, Joshua says,"Forbid them to prophesy."
- 00:03:27.899 --> 00:03:30.569
- Then Moses said,"Are you zealous for my sake?"
- 00:03:30.669 --> 00:03:32.838
- Now, watch this statement.
- 00:03:32.938 --> 00:03:34.973
- "Oh, that all the Lord's peoplewere prophets and that the Lord
- 00:03:35.073 --> 00:03:41.046
- would put His spirit upon them."
- 00:03:41.146 --> 00:03:44.916
- Okay, three pointsabout us being prophets.
- 00:03:45.017 --> 00:03:48.754
- Here's number one:All can prophesy.
- 00:03:48.854 --> 00:03:53.125
- All can prophesy.
- 00:03:53.225 --> 00:03:54.359
- Look at verse 29 again,of Numbers 11.
- 00:03:54.459 --> 00:03:56.962
- Moses said, "Oh,that all, I wish,
- 00:03:57.062 --> 00:04:00.966
- I pray that all the Lord'speople were prophets
- 00:04:01.066 --> 00:04:04.269
- and that the Lord would putHis spirit upon them."
- 00:04:04.369 --> 00:04:07.673
- All of them.All of God's people.
- 00:04:07.773 --> 00:04:10.442
- Wouldn't it be greatif God put His spirit
- 00:04:10.542 --> 00:04:15.547
- on all of His people?
- 00:04:15.647 --> 00:04:17.416
- Anyone remember the Bible?Acts 2, it happened.
- 00:04:21.820 --> 00:04:28.060
- And it's in the context here,“I wish everyone would prophesy,
- 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:33.298
- and that God would putHis Spirit on everyone.”
- 00:04:33.398 --> 00:04:35.834
- Because when God's spiritcame on them, what did they do?
- 00:04:35.934 --> 00:04:39.538
- They prophesied.
- 00:04:39.638 --> 00:04:41.139
- Acts 2:16.
- 00:04:41.239 --> 00:04:43.275
- This is what was spokenby the prophet, Joel.
- 00:04:43.375 --> 00:04:45.610
- This is Pentecost,when the Holy Spirit came,
- 00:04:45.711 --> 00:04:48.080
- "and it shall cometo past in the last days,
- 00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:49.881
- says God that I willpour out My spirit on,"
- 00:04:49.981 --> 00:04:55.020
- what's that word?
- 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:56.388
- "...all flesh.
- 00:04:56.488 --> 00:05:00.092
- You sons and your daughters."
- 00:05:00.192 --> 00:05:02.861
- Okay, that's everybody.
- 00:05:02.961 --> 00:05:05.163
- You're one or the other.
- 00:05:05.263 --> 00:05:07.532
- You're either a sonor you're a daughter,
- 00:05:07.632 --> 00:05:09.601
- shall prophesy.
- 00:05:09.701 --> 00:05:11.603
- "Your young menshall see visions,
- 00:05:11.703 --> 00:05:12.838
- your old men shall dream dreamsand on My men servants,"
- 00:05:12.938 --> 00:05:17.776
- servants who are men,
- 00:05:17.876 --> 00:05:19.544
- "and My maid servants,"servants who are women.
- 00:05:19.644 --> 00:05:22.481
- Again, let me explain,that's everybody.
- 00:05:22.581 --> 00:05:25.584
- "I will pour out My spiritin those days
- 00:05:25.684 --> 00:05:28.653
- and they shall prophesy."
- 00:05:28.754 --> 00:05:31.990
- And then in I Corinthians 14,if you're over there or save
- 00:05:32.090 --> 00:05:34.793
- that as a place, verse 31,"For you can all prophesy."
- 00:05:34.893 --> 00:05:41.566
- There it is rightthere in the Bible.
- 00:05:41.666 --> 00:05:43.668
- "You can all prophesy,
- 00:05:43.769 --> 00:05:45.937
- one by one, that all may learnand that all may be encouraged."
- 00:05:46.037 --> 00:05:50.108
- All.All can prophesy.
- 00:05:50.208 --> 00:05:51.843
- And look at the words you can.
- 00:05:51.943 --> 00:05:54.212
- You can.
- 00:05:54.312 --> 00:05:56.314
- So, God says,"You can prophesy."
- 00:05:56.415 --> 00:05:57.949
- Now, here's whatyou can think about.
- 00:05:58.049 --> 00:05:59.551
- We're talking about hearing God.
- 00:05:59.651 --> 00:06:02.120
- So, prophecy is giving a messagefrom God to someone.
- 00:06:02.220 --> 00:06:06.992
- So, doesn't it make sensethat if you can all prophesy,
- 00:06:07.092 --> 00:06:13.932
- then you can all hear God?Right?
- 00:06:14.032 --> 00:06:20.071
- If prophecy is a messagefrom God and you can do it,
- 00:06:20.172 --> 00:06:24.709
- according to the Bible,you can do it,
- 00:06:24.810 --> 00:06:27.612
- then you can hear God.
- 00:06:27.712 --> 00:06:32.451
- In other words, if I saidto the ladies
- 00:06:32.551 --> 00:06:35.720
- “Hey, Debbie wanted meto tell you,”
- 00:06:35.821 --> 00:06:38.824
- okay, right there implies thatshe told me something, right?
- 00:06:38.924 --> 00:06:45.163
- So if I say, “The Lordwanted me to tell you,”
- 00:06:45.263 --> 00:06:48.099
- then I heard the Lord.
- 00:06:48.200 --> 00:06:50.602
- I mean, obviously human element,we could miss it and all,
- 00:06:50.702 --> 00:06:53.905
- but my only point is to makea point that if God says
- 00:06:54.005 --> 00:06:57.909
- you can all prophesy,then you can all hear God.
- 00:06:58.009 --> 00:07:00.312
- That's the pointof our whole series.
- 00:07:00.412 --> 00:07:02.647
- Can we hear God todayand how do we hear God?
- 00:07:02.747 --> 00:07:05.717
- So, we can hear.
- 00:07:05.817 --> 00:07:06.918
- Acts 2, Pentecost is thefulfillment of Moses's prayer.
- 00:07:07.018 --> 00:07:13.158
- Oh, that God would put HisSpirit on all of His children.
- 00:07:13.258 --> 00:07:17.796
- And that all of God'speople are prophets.
- 00:07:17.896 --> 00:07:20.799
- Now, notice somethingabout the 70.
- 00:07:20.899 --> 00:07:22.834
- It said, "The spiritrested upon them
- 00:07:22.934 --> 00:07:26.538
- and they prophesied butthey never prophesied again."
- 00:07:26.638 --> 00:07:29.307
- Here's why: Because the HolySpirit came on them,
- 00:07:29.407 --> 00:07:32.511
- but He didn't remain.
- 00:07:32.611 --> 00:07:35.981
- The baptism in the Holy Spiritis when the Holy Spirit
- 00:07:36.081 --> 00:07:38.884
- comes on you and remains.
- 00:07:38.984 --> 00:07:41.653
- And the first person to everexperience the baptism
- 00:07:41.753 --> 00:07:44.389
- in the Holy Spiritwas Jesus, Himself.
- 00:07:44.489 --> 00:07:48.059
- John 1:33, John the Baptistis speaking.
- 00:07:48.159 --> 00:07:51.229
- He said, "I did not know Him,but He who sent me
- 00:07:51.329 --> 00:07:53.932
- to baptize with watersaid to me,
- 00:07:54.032 --> 00:07:56.368
- 'Upon whom you seethe spirit,'" watch,
- 00:07:56.468 --> 00:07:58.403
- "'descending and remaining.'"
- 00:07:58.503 --> 00:08:02.207
- Not just descending.
- 00:08:02.307 --> 00:08:03.341
- See, in the Old Testament,He descended on Saul,
- 00:08:03.441 --> 00:08:05.477
- Saul prophesied, but thenthe spirit was taken from Saul.
- 00:08:05.577 --> 00:08:08.914
- Descending and remaining on him,
- 00:08:09.014 --> 00:08:12.050
- this is he who baptizedwith the Holy Spirit.
- 00:08:12.150 --> 00:08:15.053
- Now, when I sawthe Holy Spirit remains,
- 00:08:15.153 --> 00:08:17.355
- it doesn't meanyou always yield to Him.
- 00:08:17.455 --> 00:08:20.559
- But it does meanHe's always there.
- 00:08:20.659 --> 00:08:24.329
- The Holy Spiritwalks beside you.
- 00:08:24.429 --> 00:08:27.165
- I've told you before in theprevious series, "parakletos".
- 00:08:27.265 --> 00:08:30.135
- "Para" means alongside."Kletos" means to come.
- 00:08:30.235 --> 00:08:32.604
- The Holy Spirit wantsto come alongside you.
- 00:08:32.704 --> 00:08:35.840
- But what you need to know isHe's not going to walk
- 00:08:35.941 --> 00:08:38.410
- beside you, and neversay a word.
- 00:08:38.510 --> 00:08:43.648
- I mean, I don't even understandthe illustration that someone
- 00:08:43.748 --> 00:08:47.252
- has in his mind that, youknow, here you're walking,
- 00:08:47.352 --> 00:08:49.621
- the Holy Spirit's walkingbeside you like this,
- 00:08:49.721 --> 00:08:51.856
- “Mm mm mm mm mm.”
- 00:08:51.957 --> 00:08:56.161
- He wouldn't do that.He's not mute.
- 00:08:56.261 --> 00:08:59.497
- And He's not playing games withyou, He's not playing charades,
- 00:08:59.598 --> 00:09:03.702
- you know?
- 00:09:03.802 --> 00:09:04.636
- “Lord, what should I do?
- 00:09:04.736 --> 00:09:06.404
- Two words, first word,two syllables.”
- 00:09:06.504 --> 00:09:09.541
- [laughter]
- 00:09:09.641 --> 00:09:11.409
- Jesus said it clearly,"When He comes, He will speak."
- 00:09:11.509 --> 00:09:18.249
- He will tell you things.He wants to speak to you.
- 00:09:18.350 --> 00:09:22.053
- I was in a restaurantone time having lunch.
- 00:09:22.153 --> 00:09:25.624
- This guy walked in,it was a cafeteria
- 00:09:25.724 --> 00:09:28.326
- and he came in and whenhe came with his tray,
- 00:09:28.426 --> 00:09:31.329
- he was just huge.
- 00:09:31.429 --> 00:09:33.398
- I found out later,after talking with him,
- 00:09:33.498 --> 00:09:35.600
- he was either, and Ican't remember which,
- 00:09:35.700 --> 00:09:37.102
- either Mr. America,previous Mr. America,
- 00:09:37.202 --> 00:09:40.572
- former Mr. Americaor Mr. Universe.
- 00:09:40.672 --> 00:09:42.907
- So, obviously, when he walked inthe room, everybody noticed him.
- 00:09:43.008 --> 00:09:46.411
- But when I walked in the room,the Lord spoke something to me
- 00:09:46.511 --> 00:09:50.448
- and, so I went over to him.I just walked over.
- 00:09:50.548 --> 00:09:52.784
- He and his wife are having lunchand I walked over to the table
- 00:09:52.884 --> 00:09:56.588
- and I said, "Hey, I don't wantto interrupt your lunch,
- 00:09:56.688 --> 00:10:03.862
- but I just wantedto ask you a question."
- 00:10:03.962 --> 00:10:06.398
- I said, "I'm a prettyperceptive guy.
- 00:10:06.498 --> 00:10:10.435
- Have you everlifted weights?"
- 00:10:10.535 --> 00:10:12.137
- [laughter]
- 00:10:12.237 --> 00:10:15.140
- And of course,he did what you did.
- 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:16.241
- He laughed a little bit.
- 00:10:16.341 --> 00:10:17.342
- See, if you have a wordfor someone be a human
- 00:10:17.442 --> 00:10:20.712
- when you deliver it.
- 00:10:20.812 --> 00:10:22.047
- Don't go over in a restaurant,"Thus sayeth the Lord."
- 00:10:22.147 --> 00:10:24.749
- Don't do that.[laughter]
- 00:10:24.849 --> 00:10:27.652
- It kind of ruinsthe whole thing, you know?
- 00:10:27.752 --> 00:10:31.056
- So, I just said to him,I made that little joke
- 00:10:31.156 --> 00:10:32.791
- and he said, "Yeah, I've liftedweights a few times," you know.
- 00:10:32.891 --> 00:10:35.960
- And so, I said, "Well,I could tell you did and,"
- 00:10:36.061 --> 00:10:37.762
- I said, "but the reasonI came over is because
- 00:10:37.862 --> 00:10:42.701
- I feel like the Lord spokesomething to me to tell you."
- 00:10:42.801 --> 00:10:48.106
- And he looked over at his wifeand he looked back at me
- 00:10:48.206 --> 00:10:52.744
- and I said to him,"Would you mind if I told you?"
- 00:10:52.844 --> 00:10:54.312
- And he said, "Please tell us."
- 00:10:54.412 --> 00:10:57.015
- I'll tell you why in a momenthe looked at his wife.
- 00:10:57.115 --> 00:10:59.451
- But, he said, "Would yousit down and tell us?"
- 00:10:59.551 --> 00:11:01.419
- I said, "Yes."
- 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:02.487
- So, I sat down atthe table and I said,
- 00:11:02.587 --> 00:11:03.688
- "I saw you as a little boy,you were sitting
- 00:11:03.788 --> 00:11:06.257
- in your grandmother's lapand you were crying
- 00:11:06.357 --> 00:11:10.562
- and your grandmother had a Bibleand she read to you
- 00:11:10.662 --> 00:11:13.298
- the story of Sampsonand she told you
- 00:11:13.398 --> 00:11:16.534
- that if you would commityour life to Christ,
- 00:11:16.634 --> 00:11:18.937
- he would make youstrong like Sampson."
- 00:11:19.037 --> 00:11:21.840
- And I said, "And the Lordtold me to tell you
- 00:11:21.940 --> 00:11:23.174
- that He's kept upHis end of the deal,
- 00:11:23.274 --> 00:11:26.277
- but you haven't kept upyour end of the deal."
- 00:11:26.377 --> 00:11:30.949
- And when you tellMr. Universe that,
- 00:11:31.049 --> 00:11:35.887
- you want to makeyou're right, you know?
- 00:11:35.987 --> 00:11:39.090
- But here's what happened:His eyes swelled up
- 00:11:39.190 --> 00:11:41.926
- with pools of tears.
- 00:11:42.026 --> 00:11:44.562
- And he said to me,"When I was a little boy,
- 00:11:44.662 --> 00:11:46.064
- I was raised by a single mother
- 00:11:46.164 --> 00:11:48.333
- and my grandmotherraised me a lot
- 00:11:48.433 --> 00:11:50.735
- and one day I was walking home,and some boys threw rocks at me.
- 00:11:50.835 --> 00:11:54.339
- One hit me in the head and Iwent crying to my grandmother
- 00:11:54.439 --> 00:11:57.942
- and she put me in her lapand she read to me
- 00:11:58.042 --> 00:12:00.044
- the story of Sampsonand she told me
- 00:12:00.145 --> 00:12:03.648
- that if I would givemy life to God,
- 00:12:03.748 --> 00:12:04.916
- He would make mestrong like Sampson."
- 00:12:05.016 --> 00:12:07.418
- And he said to me,"I told my wife that story
- 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.089
- for the first time on the wayto the restaurant today."
- 00:12:11.189 --> 00:12:17.428
- And he reached over, and he tookhis wife's hand he said,
- 00:12:17.529 --> 00:12:20.465
- "We need to commitour lives to Jesus Christ."
- 00:12:20.565 --> 00:12:23.668
- And I led them in a prayerright there at the table.
- 00:12:23.768 --> 00:12:27.105
- God speaks.
- 00:12:27.205 --> 00:12:29.541
- God speaks, and I want youto know that God can speak
- 00:12:29.641 --> 00:12:32.977
- through you.[applause]
- 00:12:33.077 --> 00:12:35.580
- So, all, all can prophesy.Here's number two.
- 00:12:35.680 --> 00:12:38.883
- Prophecy is not manipulative.Prophecy is not manipulative.
- 00:12:38.983 --> 00:12:43.755
- In other words,prophecy is not to get people
- 00:12:43.855 --> 00:12:46.624
- to do what you want them to do.
- 00:12:46.724 --> 00:12:49.794
- You don't just feelsomething for someone
- 00:12:49.894 --> 00:12:52.664
- and want them to do somethingand add, "the Lord said," on it.
- 00:12:52.764 --> 00:12:55.900
- Let me read you some verses.
- 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:57.535
- Jeremiah 23:25-25, "I've heard",this is God's speaking.
- 00:12:57.635 --> 00:13:02.540
- "I've heard whatthe prophets have said
- 00:13:02.640 --> 00:13:04.242
- who prophesy liesin my name
- 00:13:04.342 --> 00:13:07.612
- saying, 'I have dreamed,I have dreamed.'
- 00:13:07.712 --> 00:13:09.781
- How long will this be inthe heart of the prophets
- 00:13:09.881 --> 00:13:12.317
- who prophesy lies?
- 00:13:12.417 --> 00:13:13.685
- Indeed, they are prophets ofthe deceit of their own heart."
- 00:13:13.785 --> 00:13:18.223
- Jeremiah 23:30-31,"'Therefore, behold,
- 00:13:18.323 --> 00:13:20.925
- I'm against the prophet,'says the Lord,
- 00:13:21.025 --> 00:13:23.895
- 'who steal My words,everyone from his neighbor.'"
- 00:13:23.995 --> 00:13:27.332
- In other words,someone else said it,
- 00:13:27.432 --> 00:13:28.700
- now they're going to say it asif they heard it from the Lord.
- 00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:31.069
- "'Behold, I'm againstthe prophet,' says the Lord,
- 00:13:31.169 --> 00:13:33.771
- 'who use their tonguesand say, 'He says.''"
- 00:13:33.872 --> 00:13:37.342
- Ezekiel 22:28,
- 00:13:37.442 --> 00:13:39.277
- "Her prophets plasterthem with untampered mortar
- 00:13:39.377 --> 00:13:42.680
- seeing false visionsand divining lies for them
- 00:13:42.780 --> 00:13:45.783
- saying, 'Thus saysthe Lord God,'
- 00:13:45.884 --> 00:13:48.519
- when the Lord had not spoken."
- 00:13:48.620 --> 00:13:52.724
- Please be careful.You can prophesy.
- 00:13:52.824 --> 00:13:55.393
- But be careful saying,"Thus says the Lord."
- 00:13:55.493 --> 00:13:58.563
- I think it's actually betterto say something like,
- 00:13:58.663 --> 00:14:02.333
- "I was praying for youand I felt like
- 00:14:02.433 --> 00:14:06.004
- that the Lord impressedme with this."
- 00:14:06.104 --> 00:14:07.372
- And I just want tosubmit this to you.
- 00:14:07.472 --> 00:14:10.074
- By the way, I said, notice,"I was praying for you."
- 00:14:10.174 --> 00:14:13.678
- I'm taking it for granted thatyou actually pray for people,
- 00:14:13.778 --> 00:14:17.615
- not about peopleor against people,
- 00:14:17.715 --> 00:14:21.019
- but that we pray for them.
- 00:14:21.119 --> 00:14:23.154
- And so, you justsubmit it to them.
- 00:14:23.254 --> 00:14:25.890
- And I think, by the way,that I'm going to give you
- 00:14:25.990 --> 00:14:28.726
- maybe a little new understandingof the third commandment.
- 00:14:28.826 --> 00:14:33.164
- I think it does meanwhat we think it means,
- 00:14:33.264 --> 00:14:35.433
- but I think that it couldmean even more.
- 00:14:35.533 --> 00:14:38.202
- It says that we're not to takethe name of the Lord in vain.
- 00:14:38.303 --> 00:14:42.540
- The word "vain" there,means selfishness.
- 00:14:42.640 --> 00:14:45.977
- Now, this about,don't take or don't use
- 00:14:46.077 --> 00:14:49.614
- the name of the Lordfor selfish reasons.
- 00:14:49.714 --> 00:14:53.518
- I do think it means not to useHis name as a profane word,
- 00:14:53.618 --> 00:14:57.255
- but I also wonder if it meansthat you say His name
- 00:14:57.355 --> 00:15:01.859
- and then say what your desireis or a vain desire,
- 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:06.998
- which is simply a selfish desireand I think when someone
- 00:15:07.098 --> 00:15:10.301
- comes to give you a word,you need to have an antenna up
- 00:15:10.401 --> 00:15:14.505
- and not a critical antenna,but a discerning antenna.
- 00:15:14.605 --> 00:15:18.042
- I think you need to discern.
- 00:15:18.142 --> 00:15:19.444
- Does this bear witness?
- 00:15:19.544 --> 00:15:20.545
- Is this whatGod's been saying?
- 00:15:20.645 --> 00:15:22.647
- I literally saidto a guy one time,
- 00:15:22.747 --> 00:15:24.415
- he said, he told me this word
- 00:15:24.515 --> 00:15:25.883
- and I said, "Brother,that's not a word from God."
- 00:15:25.984 --> 00:15:28.619
- And he said,"Well, how do you know that?"
- 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:30.254
- I said, "'Cause I wasjust talking to Him."
- 00:15:30.355 --> 00:15:32.090
- [laughter]
- 00:15:32.190 --> 00:15:34.459
- "But that's okay.That's okay."
- 00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:37.161
- Because scripture says,"We can all prophesy,"
- 00:15:37.261 --> 00:15:40.698
- listen to this one,"so that we can all learn."
- 00:15:40.798 --> 00:15:45.903
- We're all learningto hear God's voice.
- 00:15:46.004 --> 00:15:48.806
- It's okay.
- 00:15:48.906 --> 00:15:49.941
- So, it's never manipulativeor to get our own way
- 00:15:50.041 --> 00:15:53.044
- and here's number three.
- 00:15:53.144 --> 00:15:54.212
- Prophecy is encouraging.
- 00:15:54.312 --> 00:15:57.448
- It's encouraging.
- 00:15:57.548 --> 00:15:59.584
- I Corinthians 14:1 says,"Pursue love
- 00:15:59.684 --> 00:16:04.355
- and desire spiritual gifts,
- 00:16:04.455 --> 00:16:08.226
- but especiallythat you may prophesy."
- 00:16:08.326 --> 00:16:12.830
- Now, notice three actionsout of this verse.
- 00:16:12.930 --> 00:16:15.700
- "Pursue love and desirespiritual gifts,
- 00:16:15.800 --> 00:16:20.338
- but especially," desire,
- 00:16:20.438 --> 00:16:22.774
- would be the implicationfrom grammar here,
- 00:16:22.874 --> 00:16:25.276
- "that you may prophesy."
- 00:16:25.376 --> 00:16:26.611
- Desire, especially
- 00:16:26.711 --> 00:16:28.279
- that you may prophesy.Okay.
- 00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:29.814
- So, I'd like to ask youto raise your hands on this.
- 00:16:29.914 --> 00:16:32.950
- Every campus,every affiliate church.
- 00:16:33.051 --> 00:16:36.921
- I just read you a versethat said pursue love,
- 00:16:37.021 --> 00:16:39.590
- desire spiritual gifts,especially desire to prophesy.
- 00:16:39.690 --> 00:16:41.259
- So, let's do themone at a time.
- 00:16:41.359 --> 00:16:42.427
- How many of you,to the best of your ability
- 00:16:42.527 --> 00:16:44.962
- will pursue love?Can I see your hands?
- 00:16:45.063 --> 00:16:50.601
- How many of you,to the best of your ability,
- 00:16:50.701 --> 00:16:52.904
- will desire spiritual gifts?Can I see your hands?
- 00:16:53.004 --> 00:16:56.374
- 'Cause we just read thisin the Bible, okay?
- 00:16:56.474 --> 00:16:58.709
- Alright.
- 00:16:58.810 --> 00:16:59.710
- So, how many of you,we just read it,
- 00:16:59.811 --> 00:17:04.482
- will desire especiallythat you may prophesy?
- 00:17:04.582 --> 00:17:09.720
- Can I see your hands?See?
- 00:17:09.821 --> 00:17:11.823
- And we just read it.
- 00:17:11.923 --> 00:17:13.391
- Look at verse 3,"For he who prophesies
- 00:17:13.491 --> 00:17:16.828
- speaks edificationand exhortation
- 00:17:16.928 --> 00:17:20.431
- and comfort to man."
- 00:17:20.531 --> 00:17:22.333
- So, I summed it upwith one word, encouragement.
- 00:17:22.433 --> 00:17:24.869
- And I'll show you in a moment
- 00:17:24.969 --> 00:17:26.137
- the Bible actuallyuses the same word.
- 00:17:26.237 --> 00:17:27.939
- I'll show you that, alright?
- 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:29.173
- But here, exhortation,or edification,
- 00:17:29.273 --> 00:17:32.310
- that means youbuilt up, exhortation,
- 00:17:32.410 --> 00:17:34.545
- that's a strengthening for youand an encouragement
- 00:17:34.645 --> 00:17:38.583
- and comfort.
- 00:17:38.683 --> 00:17:39.817
- I had a couple come meetyears ago, and they said,
- 00:17:39.917 --> 00:17:42.954
- "Pastor, we got this prophecy.
- 00:17:43.054 --> 00:17:44.155
- We haven't slept since then,it's really bothering us.
- 00:17:44.255 --> 00:17:47.058
- We don't understand it.We don't think it's right.
- 00:17:47.158 --> 00:17:49.727
- We're in turmoil over it."
- 00:17:49.827 --> 00:17:50.962
- And I said to them, "Well,then it's not from God."
- 00:17:51.062 --> 00:17:53.531
- I can tell you right nowit's not from God.
- 00:17:53.631 --> 00:17:55.566
- And they were like,"Well, how do you know?"
- 00:17:55.666 --> 00:17:57.268
- I said, "Well, let me put itto the scriptural test.
- 00:17:57.368 --> 00:17:59.504
- Did it edify you?"
- 00:17:59.604 --> 00:18:01.172
- They said, "No."
- 00:18:01.272 --> 00:18:03.241
- I said, "Did it exhort you?"They said, "No."
- 00:18:03.341 --> 00:18:05.743
- I said, "Did it comfort you?"They said, "No."
- 00:18:05.843 --> 00:18:09.113
- I said, "Then it'snot from God."
- 00:18:09.213 --> 00:18:10.515
- Wouldn't God correctus sometime?"
- 00:18:10.615 --> 00:18:12.183
- Sure, He would.But that's not prophecy.
- 00:18:12.283 --> 00:18:14.685
- God might correct us throughspiritual authority
- 00:18:14.785 --> 00:18:16.354
- and God might correct usthrough a brother or a sister,
- 00:18:16.454 --> 00:18:19.690
- but don't call it prophecy.
- 00:18:19.790 --> 00:18:22.126
- Prophecy edifies,and it exhorts and comforts you.
- 00:18:22.226 --> 00:18:27.698
- So, the summary wordis encouragement.
- 00:18:27.798 --> 00:18:29.500
- Let me show you a versewe already read
- 00:18:29.600 --> 00:18:31.669
- but show it to you again.
- 00:18:31.769 --> 00:18:33.037
- Look at verse 31.
- 00:18:33.137 --> 00:18:34.472
- "For you can all prophesy oneby one that all may learn,
- 00:18:34.572 --> 00:18:39.443
- and all may be," what?
- 00:18:39.544 --> 00:18:41.779
- Encouraged.It's encouragement.
- 00:18:41.879 --> 00:18:43.581
- By the way, a couple thingsto tune in on this again.
- 00:18:43.681 --> 00:18:47.151
- You can all prophesy.
- 00:18:47.251 --> 00:18:48.886
- It says you can.
- 00:18:48.986 --> 00:18:50.254
- Listen, why would God sayyou could if you couldn't?
- 00:18:50.354 --> 00:18:55.760
- He wouldn't.You're right.
- 00:18:55.860 --> 00:18:58.429
- Wouldn't that bea cruel Father?
- 00:18:58.529 --> 00:18:59.797
- And He's not a cruel father.
- 00:18:59.897 --> 00:19:01.899
- And remember, if He saysyou can prophesy,
- 00:19:01.999 --> 00:19:04.368
- which is give someonea message from God,
- 00:19:04.468 --> 00:19:07.138
- then you'd have to be ableto hear God to be able to do it.
- 00:19:07.238 --> 00:19:09.240
- We can hear God becausewe can encourage someone
- 00:19:09.340 --> 00:19:12.977
- with God's Word.
- 00:19:13.077 --> 00:19:14.912
- And notice again itsays that all may learn.
- 00:19:15.012 --> 00:19:18.216
- Remember the veryfirst message, I said,
- 00:19:18.316 --> 00:19:19.717
- “I'm a Sheep.”
- 00:19:19.817 --> 00:19:20.785
- It's innate, the abilityto hear God is innate,
- 00:19:20.885 --> 00:19:22.720
- but it's also learned.
- 00:19:22.820 --> 00:19:24.722
- So we learn,we grow in this area.
- 00:19:24.822 --> 00:19:26.991
- And it is encouragement.
- 00:19:27.091 --> 00:19:29.393
- Let me show you a verse here.
- 00:19:29.493 --> 00:19:32.530
- Everyone's heardof Paul and Barnabas.
- 00:19:32.630 --> 00:19:34.498
- Paul and Barnabas, the mostfamous missionary team ever.
- 00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.301
- Paul and Barnabas.
- 00:19:37.401 --> 00:19:38.869
- Did you know though,
- 00:19:38.970 --> 00:19:40.671
- that Barnabaswas not named Barnabas
- 00:19:40.771 --> 00:19:43.574
- by his mother or his father?
- 00:19:43.674 --> 00:19:46.177
- That was not his birth name.
- 00:19:46.277 --> 00:19:48.145
- Acts 4:36, "And Joses,"by the way, Joses means exalted.
- 00:19:48.246 --> 00:19:57.722
- "Joses, who was also namedBarnabas by the apostles.
- 00:19:57.822 --> 00:20:07.064
- [Which is translatedson of encouragement]."
- 00:20:07.164 --> 00:20:13.304
- So, he's named exaltedby his mother and father,
- 00:20:13.404 --> 00:20:17.541
- but he is such an encouragerthat the apostle said,
- 00:20:17.642 --> 00:20:21.846
- "If encouragement had a son,it'd be you."
- 00:20:21.946 --> 00:20:24.582
- That's what prophecy is.Encouraging people.
- 00:20:24.682 --> 00:20:27.685
- By the way, encouragement,just to remind you,
- 00:20:27.785 --> 00:20:30.755
- the "en" comes from the Latin.
- 00:20:30.855 --> 00:20:32.690
- In English we say I-Nto put something in.
- 00:20:32.790 --> 00:20:36.560
- Encourage means to putcourage in someone.
- 00:20:36.661 --> 00:20:41.198
- To put courage in.
- 00:20:41.299 --> 00:20:42.900
- Discourage meansto take courage out.
- 00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:47.271
- So, are you putting couragein your children
- 00:20:47.371 --> 00:20:51.709
- or are you taking courageout of your children
- 00:20:51.809 --> 00:20:55.179
- or your friends or your family?
- 00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:56.914
- I'll show you one moreverse on encouragement.
- 00:20:57.014 --> 00:20:58.349
- Acts 15:32.
- 00:20:58.449 --> 00:20:59.784
- "Now, Judas and Silas,themselves being prophets
- 00:20:59.884 --> 00:21:04.855
- also exhortedand strengthened,"
- 00:21:04.955 --> 00:21:09.060
- edified, built up,"the brethren with many words."
- 00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:13.331
- It doesn't say that theyrebuked, corrected,
- 00:21:13.431 --> 00:21:16.434
- and tore down the brethren.
- 00:21:16.534 --> 00:21:19.003
- It says since they wereprophets, they built up,
- 00:21:19.103 --> 00:21:22.239
- strengthened and exhortedthe brethren.
- 00:21:22.340 --> 00:21:24.208
- And by the way, we knowthey're preachers
- 00:21:24.308 --> 00:21:25.609
- because it said with many words.
- 00:21:25.710 --> 00:21:28.212
- [laughter]
- 00:21:28.312 --> 00:21:33.484
- Is it possible that you'vealready moved in prophecy
- 00:21:33.584 --> 00:21:36.287
- and you don't even know it?I think it is.
- 00:21:36.387 --> 00:21:40.558
- Have you ever felt ledto send someone a card
- 00:21:40.658 --> 00:21:45.996
- to encourage them?
- 00:21:46.097 --> 00:21:47.365
- If prophecy is encouragement,and prophecy is a word from God,
- 00:21:47.465 --> 00:21:54.071
- what does that tellyou about God?
- 00:21:54.171 --> 00:21:56.374
- He wants to encourage you.He wants to.
- 00:21:56.474 --> 00:21:58.542
- He wants to putcourage in you.
- 00:21:58.642 --> 00:22:00.544
- But what He wants is a wholebunch of field agents
- 00:22:00.644 --> 00:22:06.117
- who will go around puttingcourage in people.
- 00:22:06.217 --> 00:22:09.720
- But in order to give someonea message from God,
- 00:22:09.820 --> 00:22:13.491
- you have to hear God.
- 00:22:13.591 --> 00:22:17.862
- A few years ago, I had a dreamabout a pastor friend of mine.
- 00:22:17.962 --> 00:22:21.132
- It was a very encouraging dream.
- 00:22:21.232 --> 00:22:23.534
- And when I woke up, I stillremembered the dream.
- 00:22:23.634 --> 00:22:26.203
- That's how I know it'sfrom the Lord, you know,
- 00:22:26.303 --> 00:22:28.506
- because if -- andthat it made sense.
- 00:22:28.606 --> 00:22:31.375
- You know, I mean, I've builtgo-karts with Goofy before,
- 00:22:31.475 --> 00:22:34.478
- and I thought,“Okay, that's not from God.”
- 00:22:34.578 --> 00:22:36.247
- But I had this dream,and it was so encouraging.
- 00:22:36.347 --> 00:22:38.749
- And so, when I wentwalking that morning,
- 00:22:38.849 --> 00:22:40.751
- I just kept prayingfor this pastor.
- 00:22:40.851 --> 00:22:42.887
- And I spent nearly theentire time praying for him.
- 00:22:42.987 --> 00:22:46.590
- And I remember I wokeup with the dream,
- 00:22:46.690 --> 00:22:49.360
- and it was about 4:33 a.m.
- 00:22:49.460 --> 00:22:51.495
- That's, to the best that Iremember to, it was 4:33.
- 00:22:51.595 --> 00:22:54.265
- This happened about 4 years ago,so -- 6 years ago, pardon me.
- 00:22:54.365 --> 00:22:57.601
- So, but I rememberedjust looking at the clock
- 00:22:57.701 --> 00:23:00.504
- and seeing 4:33.
- 00:23:00.604 --> 00:23:01.739
- And I prayed for the guy,and then went back to sleep.
- 00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:03.641
- And then when I got up later, Istill had the dream on my heart,
- 00:23:03.741 --> 00:23:06.510
- and so when I walked,I prayed for him.
- 00:23:06.610 --> 00:23:08.646
- And I remembered what day it wasbecause it was my grandson's
- 00:23:08.746 --> 00:23:11.282
- birthday, and we were gettingready for the party that day.
- 00:23:11.382 --> 00:23:15.052
- So, about 3 weeks later, Ithought about it, and I thought,
- 00:23:15.152 --> 00:23:17.488
- “You know, I'm going tocall that guy.”
- 00:23:17.588 --> 00:23:19.423
- And so, I calledthis pastor friend of mine,
- 00:23:19.523 --> 00:23:20.825
- and I said, “Hey, a few weeksago, the Lord gave me a dream
- 00:23:20.925 --> 00:23:23.327
- for you, and I just want toshare it with you.”
- 00:23:23.427 --> 00:23:26.197
- So I shared with him, he said,“Man, that's encouraging.
- 00:23:26.297 --> 00:23:28.999
- That is so encouraging.”
- 00:23:29.099 --> 00:23:31.402
- And so, then we talked fora while, and then I said,
- 00:23:31.502 --> 00:23:33.437
- “What's going on?”
- 00:23:33.537 --> 00:23:35.172
- He said, “Well, I don'tknow if you heard,
- 00:23:35.272 --> 00:23:36.540
- but my father passed away.”I said, “I didn't hear that,
- 00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:39.343
- I'm sorry,”and we talked for a while.
- 00:23:39.443 --> 00:23:40.811
- And all of a sudden,it hit me, and I said,
- 00:23:40.911 --> 00:23:43.948
- “Did your father pass away onAugust the 5th at 4:33 a.m.?”
- 00:23:44.048 --> 00:23:56.961
- And this pastor saidto me, “Yes.”
- 00:23:57.061 --> 00:24:03.400
- He said, “I gotthe call at 4:35.
- 00:24:03.501 --> 00:24:07.938
- And on his death certificate,it says 4:33 a.m.”
- 00:24:08.038 --> 00:24:13.911
- And I said, “That'swhen I had the dream.”
- 00:24:14.011 --> 00:24:16.747
- Here's what he said.
- 00:24:16.847 --> 00:24:21.452
- He said, “I'll rememberfor the rest of my life
- 00:24:21.552 --> 00:24:25.723
- that God gave my frienda dream at the same time
- 00:24:25.823 --> 00:24:31.195
- my father was enteringinto heaven.”
- 00:24:31.295 --> 00:24:34.598
- He said, “Now,that's encouraging.”
- 00:24:34.698 --> 00:24:37.835
- You can all prophesy,you really can.
- 00:24:37.935 --> 00:24:42.439
- Just start encouragingpeople and let God
- 00:24:42.540 --> 00:24:45.442
- take it from there.
