everyday life?

- Experience freedom, live in peace, change the world. Become
00:00:13.060 --> 00:00:19.160
Spirit Contemporary. Join Leon Fontaine, world renowned
00:00:19.170 --> 00:00:24.050
conference speaker, senior pastor of Canada's fastest
00:00:24.060 --> 00:00:27.000
growing church, and CEO of Canada's only Christian TV
00:00:27.010 --> 00:00:30.210
station. Today, on THE SPIRIT CONTEMPORARY LIFE.
00:00:30.220 --> 00:00:35.020
-LEON FONTAINE: Your sins are not just forgiven. But you have
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.060
been made alive. You are alive to a place, to a degree that you
00:00:40.070 --> 00:00:47.090
have never known, that mankind has never known before.
00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:52.070
-ANNOUNCER: In John 10:10, it says that Jesus came to give us
00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:56.170
life, and life more abundantly. So, why is there such a
00:00:56.180 --> 00:01:00.060
disconnect between this biblical promise, and how most Christians
00:01:00.070 --> 00:01:03.290
live today? Why have so many believers become spiritually
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.170
weak, and ineffective at sharing Jesus' message of love? THE
00:01:07.180 --> 00:01:12.010
SPIRIT CONTEMPORARY LIFE is the answer. It's being led by Holy
00:01:12.020 --> 00:01:16.070
Spirit, but in a contemporary way. It's being Jesus and
00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:20.040
demonstrating His love in ways people can understand and
00:01:20.050 --> 00:01:23.180
appreciate. Spirit Contemporary is unique for everyone. It never
00:01:23.190 --> 00:01:28.010
compromises the truth, and it never makes others feel
00:01:28.020 --> 00:01:31.020
uncomfortable. It's freeing yourself from religious
00:01:31.030 --> 00:01:33.230
constraints, and walking freely in God's amazing grace, for His
00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:37.240
purpose. THE SPIRIT CONTEMPORARY LIFE is absolutely crucial if
00:01:37.250 --> 00:01:41.220
the global church and her people are going to change the world.
00:01:41.230 --> 00:01:45.110
- Later in the show, we'll tell you how you can reserve your
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.100
copy of today's resource. Enrich your soul and renew your mind
00:01:48.110 --> 00:01:52.040
with this timely series.
00:01:52.050 --> 00:01:53.070
- And now, from Winnipeg, Canada, pastor Leon Fontaine.
00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:58.050
-LEON: Probably one of the mistakes of modern Christianity
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:04.250
is the inordinate focus on this one thought, "My sins are
00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:10.270
forgiven." And so that's, we're gonna go to heaven and that's a
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:15.250
wonderful point. No one wants to spend eternity in hell. So thank
00:02:15.260 --> 00:02:21.210
you. That our sins are forgiven, that Jesus has done that. And
00:02:21.220 --> 00:02:26.170
but it doesn't change people's lives much. In fact, as I
00:02:26.180 --> 00:02:30.220
travel, as I work here in the church, as we teach, as we watch
00:02:30.230 --> 00:02:35.120
the counseling offices and the issues that are going on. I've
00:02:35.130 --> 00:02:38.100
found that people who know their sins are forgiven don't change
00:02:38.110 --> 00:02:42.000
much. And they just kind of struggle through life like
00:02:42.010 --> 00:02:47.240
everybody else. There's not much of a change in the percentages
00:02:47.250 --> 00:02:51.290
of issues, go through divorce, lying, cheating, you know,
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:57.020
depression, sickness. There's just not much of a change.
00:02:57.030 --> 00:03:00.120
Pretty much you come to church for psychological relief of the
00:03:00.130 --> 00:03:04.280
issues you're going through this season in your life and Jesus
00:03:04.290 --> 00:03:08.070
comforts you in your hours of grief. Jesus is there through
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:14.000
all your losses and poverties and etcetera. And of course, He
00:03:14.010 --> 00:03:18.260
is. But it just makes living the Christian life not much
00:03:18.270 --> 00:03:24.000
different in living in the world. And quite frankly, now
00:03:24.010 --> 00:03:29.050
take this the way I'm saying it. People like taking clips out of
00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:32.160
what I say. I can't think of anymore boring than being a
00:03:32.170 --> 00:03:37.000
Christian and you've only gone as far as your sins being
00:03:37.010 --> 00:03:41.160
forgiven. It doesn't do much for your life. I mean, it's amazing
00:03:41.170 --> 00:03:46.100
for heaven. But on this planet, you walk along season after
00:03:46.110 --> 00:03:52.080
season from single to married to family to grandparent, from poor
00:03:52.090 --> 00:03:56.010
to rich to wealthy, from nobody to somebody and back to nobody
00:03:56.020 --> 00:03:59.100
or whatever the seasons of your life are, pretty much nothing
00:03:59.110 --> 00:04:04.170
changes. And we've never focused on the things that Jesus talks
00:04:04.180 --> 00:04:08.270
about the most. And that is that your sins are not just forgiven.
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:14.000
But you had been made alive. You are alive to a place, to a
00:04:14.010 --> 00:04:20.160
degree that you have never known that mankind has never known
00:04:20.170 --> 00:04:26.100
before. The Bible calls this the mystery of godliness. That you
00:04:26.110 --> 00:04:33.150
can live like God. You can sound, act like God. You can
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.280
have the emotions of God. You can have the thinking of God.
00:04:36.290 --> 00:04:40.290
You can walk in the life of God. You can love people with the
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.050
love of God. You can live a life where Jesus is living it through
00:04:45.060 --> 00:04:49.100
you or you can just be my sins are forgiven but I'm gonna live
00:04:49.110 --> 00:04:53.040
as weak and as defeated and as fearful and as sick and as
00:04:53.050 --> 00:04:57.290
confused and as unhappy as everybody else. And that's not
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:04.000
the Christian life. And so today, I wanna challenge you as
00:05:04.010 --> 00:05:09.070
we go into this message, to listen closely to what I say as
00:05:09.080 --> 00:05:14.140
we go through some of these teachings. The Bible shows us,
00:05:14.150 --> 00:05:19.090
and I'll show you in the Word that when you listen to the
00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:22.160
teaching of Word right now, right now, the devils in the
00:05:22.170 --> 00:05:26.230
room, demons are in the room. They go to church. Hey, the
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.220
Bible says they were at the last supper because the devil entered
00:05:30.230 --> 00:05:34.070
Judas right there in the room. Do you believe on demons? The
00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:40.140
whole world believes on them. It's just the Christians are
00:05:40.150 --> 00:05:42.140
embarrass about talking about it. All the movies are about
00:05:42.150 --> 00:05:46.090
demons and fallen angels and every TV series out there and
00:05:46.100 --> 00:05:49.270
every book that's the most popular book is all about
00:05:49.280 --> 00:05:52.010
wizardry and witchcraft and Harry Potter and you name it.
00:05:52.020 --> 00:05:55.270
The world has no problem with the spirit world. It's the
00:05:55.280 --> 00:05:58.020
Christians who have the truth who are quiet about it. So this,
00:05:58.030 --> 00:06:01.190
this is a spirit world and they're here at church today.
00:06:01.200 --> 00:06:04.220
Now, they have a job. Their job is to steal the Word that you
00:06:04.230 --> 00:06:10.000
are listening to right now. Their job is to take your
00:06:10.010 --> 00:06:13.280
attention away. Their job is to move your mind off of the
00:06:13.290 --> 00:06:17.040
teaching of the Word. I'm gonna show you why that is so crucial.
00:06:17.050 --> 00:06:20.280
They do not want the Word of God to all of a sudden impact you
00:06:20.290 --> 00:06:25.190
where you reach out with your mind and your will and you grab
00:06:25.200 --> 00:06:30.020
a teaching and you pull it in because all of a sudden
00:06:30.030 --> 00:06:32.240
everything changes. So most don't, it floats in one ear and
00:06:32.250 --> 00:06:37.020
out the other. They give me a high five and say, "Good
00:06:37.030 --> 00:06:39.150
preaching, pastor." I'll ask them, what was your favorite
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:41.290
point? They don't have one. They don't remember the message 10
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.030
minutes after, you know, in the hallways. Sorry, well you've
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:48.030
said, I've done that with. But if you do not begin to
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:53.110
understand this process not much is gonna change. And so today,
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:58.150
this is a life message that I'm showing you and I challenge you,
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:02.190
see if you can actually keep your brain glued in for 30
00:07:02.200 --> 00:07:06.110
minutes because you'll find the enemy trying to draw you off.
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:10.030
He's the accuser of the brethren. He's the one who's
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.060
trying to tempt you. Right now, the temptation is away from the
00:07:12.070 --> 00:07:15.100
Word, away from the Word, away from what pastor is saying. It's
00:07:15.110 --> 00:07:18.260
not pastor's gonna change your life. It's the presence of God
00:07:18.270 --> 00:07:21.200
attach to His Word. His Word works. It accomplishes what it
00:07:21.210 --> 00:07:25.180
is sent forth to do. And right now, I'm sending it to you. What
00:07:25.190 --> 00:07:28.290
are you doing with it? Because if you don't mix faith in what
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.150
you hear, it profits you nothing. It's a complete waste
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.260
of time being here. If you don't mix faith, accept God's Word. In
00:07:33.270 --> 00:07:39.220
Matthew 22:29, Jesus is talking to religious people and there
00:07:39.230 --> 00:07:44.130
some in the room. And He says, "You err, not knowing the
00:07:44.140 --> 00:07:55.230
scriptures, nor the power of God." You err not knowing the
00:07:55.240 --> 00:08:02.030
scriptures, nor the power of God. Now, there's a hope ton of
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:06.250
stuff in here. Let me just pull out a couple of points. Where
00:08:06.260 --> 00:08:10.290
you will have errors in life, where you will make mistakes in
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.040
life, is where you don't know the scripture and where you
00:08:15.050 --> 00:08:20.230
don't know the presence and the power of God. We must know the
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.150
scripture and we must know the presence and the power of God.
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.070
If you do not know these two things, you will make error
00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:31.100
after error after error in life. This is crucial. In John 5:39,
00:08:31.110 --> 00:08:37.150
He's talking to the Pharisees. But I really believe this is
00:08:37.160 --> 00:08:41.140
portion of scripture that we as mature Christians need to be
00:08:41.150 --> 00:08:44.130
concerned about John 5:39. You carefully study, search, and
00:08:44.140 --> 00:08:49.190
examine the scriptures because you think they give you eternal
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.270
life. They do in fact testify, witness about me, concerning me
00:08:53.280 --> 00:09:04.280
on my behalf. So many people discovered Christianity at the
00:09:04.290 --> 00:09:10.080
time of trouble in their lives. They're sick, marriage is
00:09:10.090 --> 00:09:13.090
struggling. They're dealing with fear, depression. Something is
00:09:13.100 --> 00:09:17.050
going on in their life. And so they're attracted to the Word of
00:09:17.060 --> 00:09:21.170
God to this the way of following Jesus because of heartache. And
00:09:21.180 --> 00:09:26.050
I'm glad they're attracted to Him. But when you go to the
00:09:26.060 --> 00:09:29.020
scripture, if you simply try to meet the need that you have,
00:09:29.030 --> 00:09:34.200
then once the need is fulfilled you simply move on in your
00:09:34.210 --> 00:09:38.270
normal way of life. And you don't, you miss the entire
00:09:38.280 --> 00:09:44.200
purpose is that you're not, you shouldn't be looking for the
00:09:44.210 --> 00:09:49.120
life that isn't healing or prosperity or peace. But you
00:09:49.130 --> 00:09:53.140
should be looking for the life giver, Jesus. And to some of you
00:09:53.150 --> 00:09:58.030
mature saints that are here that your life does not differ much
00:09:58.040 --> 00:10:01.290
from your unsaved friends and family other than you get to go
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.290
to heaven and you're secure in that fact. You, your sins are
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.090
forgiven. And that's a beautiful thing but you do not understand
00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:14.170
the life, the alive, the relationship with Jesus that
00:10:14.180 --> 00:10:19.020
will take you through this world in a superhuman ability to live
00:10:19.030 --> 00:10:24.020
this life, to walk through everything that life has. It's
00:10:24.030 --> 00:10:28.000
not about learning formulas. It's not about learning the six
00:10:28.010 --> 00:10:32.240
steps to everything. We use that in teaching, but it is
00:10:32.250 --> 00:10:36.180
practically useless to the person who has not discovered
00:10:36.190 --> 00:10:41.160
Jesus. It's about Jesus. Jesus is talking to the most learned
00:10:41.170 --> 00:10:47.200
men of the Bible and He says, "You know the scripture and the
00:10:47.210 --> 00:10:52.180
scripture talks about Me and here I am, and you don't even
00:10:52.190 --> 00:10:56.030
recognize Me." How ridiculous is that? But you know today I
00:10:56.040 --> 00:11:00.210
noticed the same thing. We've got Christians who think that
00:11:00.220 --> 00:11:04.120
who you vote for. Every Christians should be voting over
00:11:04.130 --> 00:11:06.220
here. We got Christians who think that if you're a
00:11:06.230 --> 00:11:08.220
Christian, that you should be over here. You should be caring
00:11:08.230 --> 00:11:11.160
about the political thing. You should be -, And when you follow
00:11:11.170 --> 00:11:13.260
the life of Jesus, His entire purpose was to please God. Even
00:11:13.270 --> 00:11:20.100
a lot of the good things you do, I wonder if they're God things.
00:11:20.110 --> 00:11:23.240
Some of you are praying about God's will and every time some
00:11:23.250 --> 00:11:26.140
good thing opens a door, you think it's God. Good things
00:11:26.150 --> 00:11:30.140
don't mean they're God things for your life. The direction for
00:11:30.150 --> 00:11:33.120
your life has been decided centuries ago because He's
00:11:33.130 --> 00:11:37.070
created paths for you to follow. That you should walk in them.
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:40.160
You individually. And Christians get caught up in all the good
00:11:40.170 --> 00:11:45.100
things to do. It was a struggle that I had in my life years ago
00:11:45.110 --> 00:11:49.150
as Springs began to, you know, get territory and ground and
00:11:49.160 --> 00:11:54.210
people began to come out and we get to pack out buildings and
00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:58.150
stuff. And all of a sudden, there was a hundred good things
00:11:58.160 --> 00:12:02.130
that we should be involved in. Every parent church ministry out
00:12:02.140 --> 00:12:06.040
here that you need to be concerned about and then make
00:12:06.050 --> 00:12:09.190
the list, from abortion to single moms to the government to
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:14.000
this and we are concerned about all of them. But to do them all
00:12:14.010 --> 00:12:21.110
would bankrupt us in one month. To give the stage to every
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:25.240
person who wanted the stage. You know, well, we're here. We want
00:12:25.250 --> 00:12:29.120
the stage. Don't you care? Don't you care? I say, "Look, we here
00:12:29.130 --> 00:12:33.120
are following Jesus for Springs." Okay. What does He
00:12:33.130 --> 00:12:38.200
called us to do? We're following Him one step at a time. And you
00:12:38.210 --> 00:12:44.040
need to understand that the same way. That you can get your life
00:12:44.050 --> 00:12:48.060
involve in all these good things. Go do good things. And
00:12:48.070 --> 00:12:51.040
if you don't have a relationship with Jesus, you will miss the
00:12:51.050 --> 00:12:54.150
God things that He's called you to. You get all wrap up in. You
00:12:54.160 --> 00:12:59.250
know, it's interesting. I'm not gonna preach on this. But it's
00:12:59.260 --> 00:13:02.020
interesting that Jesus not once took a potshot at the government
00:13:02.030 --> 00:13:06.040
and the government was one messed of a government. I mean,
00:13:06.050 --> 00:13:09.230
killing, stealing, dominating. Rome was dominating. Jesus never
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:14.280
raised a bunch of people up and went after the political realm.
00:13:14.290 --> 00:13:18.110
I'm not saying you shouldn't vote. Absolutely. I'm just
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.180
saying that as Christians we get going on things. We get going on
00:13:20.190 --> 00:13:26.000
where things aren't going good. We've gotta go after and help
00:13:26.010 --> 00:13:28.220
the marginalized people. Of course. We've gotta go after and
00:13:28.230 --> 00:13:31.170
help this group. Of course, of course. But your purpose, isn't
00:13:31.180 --> 00:13:36.050
that your purpose is to follow Jesus? And it's easy to
00:13:36.060 --> 00:13:41.090
differentiate between the bad things and the God things, where
00:13:41.100 --> 00:13:46.000
it's hard to differentiate is between the good things and the
00:13:46.010 --> 00:13:50.180
God things. I've had people leave us who I knew God sent to
00:13:50.190 --> 00:13:54.120
us because they found something good and they get a better
00:13:54.130 --> 00:13:56.240
position to go there. And they're gonna just go. It's a
00:13:56.250 --> 00:13:59.290
good thing. But it wasn't a God thing. When I was a young man
00:14:00.020 --> 00:14:04.160
people would stand in pulpits and they would preach these
00:14:04.170 --> 00:14:07.110
messages and they would inspire everyone to get down to the
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:10.200
front and get to the mission field. I mean, I watch altars
00:14:10.210 --> 00:14:16.000
fill up everywhere I went, at camps and youth ministries and
00:14:16.010 --> 00:14:18.250
our church beggars would come in. And the Bible says go into
00:14:18.260 --> 00:14:22.130
the world and preach the gospel. What do you do? And it was, and
00:14:22.140 --> 00:14:25.170
they would just guilt you and motivate you and with tears
00:14:25.180 --> 00:14:29.150
we would fall down. I literally only know a couple of
00:14:29.160 --> 00:14:33.040
the hundreds of young people my age I watched go to the mission
00:14:33.050 --> 00:14:36.240
field. Their marriages are a mess, their kids are a mess.
00:14:36.250 --> 00:14:39.020
There's lots of missionary kids they go to our church. They have
00:14:39.030 --> 00:14:42.050
talked to me in the hallways about how brutal it was being on
00:14:42.060 --> 00:14:44.280
the field with their parents as their marriage fell apart and
00:14:44.290 --> 00:14:47.020
their family fell apart nothing really happened. And you go,
00:14:47.030 --> 00:14:49.280
"What happened there?" Well, they probably were chasing good
00:14:49.290 --> 00:14:53.000
things but not God things. They probably were being motivated by
00:14:53.010 --> 00:14:57.280
somebody else than motivated by the Spirit of God. And so it's
00:14:57.290 --> 00:15:01.050
crucial for you to know God. One of the things that keeps Springs
00:15:01.060 --> 00:15:05.050
Church healthy is I refused to tell you what to do. People
00:15:05.060 --> 00:15:10.020
often stop me in the hallways and give me a situation and
00:15:10.030 --> 00:15:13.060
they'll say, "What shall I do?" And they're looking at me and I
00:15:13.070 --> 00:15:15.290
don't mind that. They're looking at me with a sense of, "Whose
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.220
gonna answer a question God?" And sometimes I'll guide them
00:15:18.230 --> 00:15:22.050
say, "Think about this. Go listen to this." But most cases
00:15:22.060 --> 00:15:26.190
I listen to them. Give a few verses and say, "Let's pray. I'm
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:29.270
gonna pray that God's gonna direct you." Because I don't
00:15:29.280 --> 00:15:33.100
wanna direct people. I don't wanna be people's God because
00:15:33.110 --> 00:15:36.250
it's impossible for me to tell you which of the seven good
00:15:36.260 --> 00:15:40.080
things. Well, it's easy to tell you, "Oh, that's sin. That's
00:15:40.090 --> 00:15:42.150
sin." But you know that. But what should I do? Yes, there's
00:15:42.160 --> 00:15:46.220
lots of good things. But are they God things? And so I wanna
00:15:46.230 --> 00:15:52.110
challenge you that John 5:39, Jesus talking to people who are
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.160
know the Word. You carefully study. You search the
00:15:56.170 --> 00:15:59.100
scriptures. You're looking for eternal life. Now, when they say
00:15:59.110 --> 00:16:02.160
looking for eternal life, the word "eternal life" does not
00:16:02.170 --> 00:16:05.160
just mean the length of life. It's also the quality of life.
00:16:05.170 --> 00:16:09.090
Zoe life. Everyone is looking for a quality of life. Everybody
00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:12.150
here wants a better marriage including me. Are you admitting
00:16:12.160 --> 00:16:16.210
that? Are you kidding me? I'm working on everything. I want to
00:16:16.220 --> 00:16:20.040
be a better father, better grandpa, better husband. I wanna
00:16:20.050 --> 00:16:22.190
be a better pastor. I wanna handle finances. We all should
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.200
be growing and leading. So it says you want this life but you
00:16:25.210 --> 00:16:30.100
didn't find Me, Jesus said. Here I am. And you're missing this
00:16:30.110 --> 00:16:35.120
relationship for a whole bunch of trying to find life in areas
00:16:35.130 --> 00:16:40.100
of your life. The Word is very interesting because if you do
00:16:40.110 --> 00:16:47.250
not discover Jesus, if you do not build a relationship with
00:16:47.260 --> 00:16:52.150
Jesus, you are simply another religious person. If you believe
00:16:52.160 --> 00:16:57.220
on Him, you get to go to heaven. But other than that, give me a
00:16:57.230 --> 00:17:01.040
Buddhist, give me a Hindu, give me you. There not much
00:17:01.050 --> 00:17:05.000
difference. Why? Because you don't have, and haven't
00:17:05.010 --> 00:17:09.030
developed a relationship with Jesus. You've just learned how
00:17:09.040 --> 00:17:12.180
to get healed, how to get happy, how to get to church. You've put
00:17:12.190 --> 00:17:15.290
more formulas in place. If you're addicted before to
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:18.290
something you try to get on it. There's not much difference. And
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:21.150
so when people argue about what religion is right. You know,
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:26.040
there's just no place to get. The difference between following
00:17:26.050 --> 00:17:29.090
Jesus and all the other world religions was that Jesus didn't
00:17:29.100 --> 00:17:34.130
come to start another religion. He came to end all religions and
00:17:34.140 --> 00:17:37.280
give everybody a personal relationship with Jesus.
00:17:37.290 --> 00:17:41.240
Discover Jesus. Discover a relationship with Jesus. How do
00:17:41.250 --> 00:17:46.210
we do that? In Mark chapter 4, speaking to mature believers
00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:51.170
today is that there's a talk there that Jesus is teaching a
00:17:51.180 --> 00:17:55.130
parable. And He says if you do not understand this parable,
00:17:55.140 --> 00:17:58.260
you'll understand no other parables. That makes Mark 4 a
00:17:58.270 --> 00:18:03.020
key to the entire New Testament of parables. If you do not
00:18:03.030 --> 00:18:06.210
understand the parable in Mark chapter 4, you will struggle
00:18:06.220 --> 00:18:10.000
with all parables. The parable in Mark chapter 4 is the one
00:18:10.010 --> 00:18:13.120
where Jesus says that the sower sows the Word. And then it says,
00:18:13.130 --> 00:18:18.130
remember some were on the pathway, some go into shallow
00:18:18.140 --> 00:18:21.170
soil, some go into thistles and thorns. And so it says the birds
00:18:21.180 --> 00:18:26.050
of the air come and eat the seed. Then the seed gets choked
00:18:26.060 --> 00:18:29.070
out. Then the sun scorches other seed. And it talks about how
00:18:29.080 --> 00:18:33.200
that the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches
00:18:33.210 --> 00:18:36.180
pulls us away. And what this entire scripture is talking
00:18:36.190 --> 00:18:40.080
about is the power of your heart. Your heart is a womb.
00:18:40.090 --> 00:18:44.060
Sorry guys, this sounds weird. But your heart is like soil. And
00:18:44.070 --> 00:18:49.280
you and I were dead because of sin, okay, and inequity. And
00:18:49.290 --> 00:18:56.030
then when Jesus came in and made you alive. This life means your
00:18:56.040 --> 00:19:02.030
heart is alive and it can produce the Word of God in an
00:19:02.040 --> 00:19:06.140
incredible way. And so as you begin to focus on God's Word,
00:19:06.150 --> 00:19:10.170
and so God's Word is the seed and your heart is the soil. And
00:19:10.180 --> 00:19:16.070
when that seed of God's Word begins to come into the soil
00:19:16.080 --> 00:19:19.200
which is what's happening right now and there are four kinds of
00:19:19.210 --> 00:19:23.170
people sitting in this room listening. There are some that
00:19:23.180 --> 00:19:27.060
yeah, cool, nice message, wasn't enough story. They didn't have
00:19:27.070 --> 00:19:29.080
enough entertainment value in that one. And so the seed just
00:19:29.090 --> 00:19:32.000
kind of lands on top of the path and the enemy comes in which is
00:19:32.010 --> 00:19:34.290
what the birds of air are, and they just eat it. Somebody
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:37.190
else's says the soil the seed gets planted in a heart that is
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:40.270
just kind of shallow. You maybe gonna try Jesus or maybe you're
00:19:40.280 --> 00:19:46.060
a believer. But you just kind of try the Word and try it for a
00:19:46.070 --> 00:19:49.030
couple of days, pastor. That didn't work. You know that
00:19:49.040 --> 00:19:51.140
you're shallow. And when the sun scorches or when the life begins
00:19:51.150 --> 00:19:56.070
to push at you, you abandon your teachings and run to anything
00:19:56.080 --> 00:19:59.190
else that will bring you pleasure or relief from the pain
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:02.240
that you're going through rather than standing strong with Jesus.
00:20:02.250 --> 00:20:05.270
Then it says there's other soil that is so full of thorns and
00:20:05.280 --> 00:20:09.070
it's the thorns are the deceitfulness of riches. The
00:20:09.080 --> 00:20:12.040
beliefs that had been planted into you by life, by school, by
00:20:12.050 --> 00:20:15.220
parents, and by grandparents are in this heart. And as you try
00:20:15.230 --> 00:20:19.090
that the thorn and the thistles, they just choke God's Word out.
00:20:19.100 --> 00:20:23.010
It literally is saying three quarters of the believers who
00:20:23.020 --> 00:20:25.060
listen to God's Word won't prosper, not because the Word
00:20:25.070 --> 00:20:28.160
doesn't work, but because the soil's not been prepared. And so
00:20:28.170 --> 00:20:34.260
if you wanna see change this year, it won't be by learning
00:20:34.270 --> 00:20:39.140
new formulas. It won't be by memorizing new scriptures. It
00:20:39.150 --> 00:20:42.230
will be by hearing and understanding. And for times let
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:46.050
me give you one thought to go through in Mark chapter 4, it
00:20:46.060 --> 00:20:50.110
says here, and those that are planted on good, well-adapted
00:20:50.120 --> 00:20:55.070
soil are the ones who hear the Word, receive the Word, accept
00:20:55.080 --> 00:21:03.170
the Word, welcome the Word and bear fruit. Now let me get this
00:21:03.180 --> 00:21:10.180
point across to you because, you know, you can go as deep as you
00:21:10.190 --> 00:21:13.150
want. You'll just be another Pharisee in the Christian world.
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:15.240
You can go memorize all the scriptures, listen to every TV
00:21:15.250 --> 00:21:18.130
preacher you want, go amalgamate all the Greek and Hebrew. You'll
00:21:18.140 --> 00:21:21.220
just be another Pharisee and Sadducee. But if you want God's
00:21:21.230 --> 00:21:25.030
Word to radically change you, okay. Radically change you. Then
00:21:25.040 --> 00:21:30.280
you must hear it. Then you must receive it. Now, how do you
00:21:30.290 --> 00:21:37.260
receive God's Word? It is a choice that goes even in my mess
00:21:37.270 --> 00:21:42.240
up head and my inability to pay attention like I want to. I
00:21:42.250 --> 00:21:45.270
receive Your Word Father and you reach out by your own will and
00:21:45.280 --> 00:21:49.200
you desire God's Word. The word "accept" means to accept it like
00:21:49.210 --> 00:21:54.060
you are an heir. It's like a son receiving. Receive God's Word.
00:21:54.070 --> 00:21:59.040
Accept God's Word. Anytime you hear God's Word fight to be
00:21:59.050 --> 00:22:03.160
disciplined in your attention so that you begin to hear it and
00:22:03.170 --> 00:22:07.010
you mix faith with what you hear. Then it says God's Word
00:22:07.020 --> 00:22:10.070
comes into your heart and it begins to grow in your entire -,
00:22:10.080 --> 00:22:14.090
If you've given your life to Jesus, you are alive. And you
00:22:14.100 --> 00:22:16.230
can grow God's Word at an alarming rate, at a beautiful
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:21.120
rate, in an incredible way. And as you hear His Word, as during
00:22:21.130 --> 00:22:26.190
the week you read the Word. Listen to messages. Feed on
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:30.030
God's Word. You are planting fields. If you could just for a
00:22:30.040 --> 00:22:33.230
minute imagine you as a farmer looking out over miles countless
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:39.160
miles of beautiful black chernozem soil and you begin to
00:22:39.170 --> 00:22:45.080
plant fields of peace. You begin to plant fields of joy. You
00:22:45.090 --> 00:22:49.090
begin to plant fields of prosperity. You begin to plant
00:22:49.100 --> 00:22:53.080
fields of healing. You begin to plant fields of just walking in
00:22:53.090 --> 00:22:59.030
a relationship. All of, that's like your heart. Your heart is
00:22:59.040 --> 00:23:05.130
eternal. You could never stop planting God's Word as much as
00:23:05.140 --> 00:23:09.150
you want. And if you will hear, accept, listen, cling to God's
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:14.120
Word, those crops will come up. You see, I'm not at peace
00:23:14.130 --> 00:23:18.150
because I learned a new trick. I'm at peace because I planted
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:21.280
decades of peace. I'm not joyful because I figured out the key.
00:23:21.290 --> 00:23:27.100
No, there's not a key. It's not because I've got greater will
00:23:27.110 --> 00:23:30.090
power than you. In fact, I don't. All I've learned is that
00:23:30.100 --> 00:23:34.010
in my weakness as a human being, my only hope is to go to God's
00:23:34.020 --> 00:23:39.060
Word which Jesus is the Word. And to feed on the Word and
00:23:39.070 --> 00:23:43.060
enjoy Jesus as I do that. And as I feed on God's Word and listen
00:23:43.070 --> 00:23:47.260
to messages and read great teaching books and read God's
00:23:47.270 --> 00:23:51.060
Word, it begins to get planted into my heart. And the Bible
00:23:51.070 --> 00:23:54.260
says in Mark 4, that you'll go to sleep, and the seed will
00:23:54.270 --> 00:23:58.260
grow. And you don't know how it's growing. You don't know
00:23:58.270 --> 00:24:04.210
why it's growing.

-LEON: The Bible has a verse that says ask and you shall
00:25:15.220 --> 00:25:19.090
receive, that your joy maybe full. Now, it's interesting to
00:25:19.100 --> 00:25:24.150
me when we use the words in our English language joy and
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:28.270
happiness. Happiness tends to come from happenings, and I like
00:25:28.280 --> 00:25:34.010
that. You know, when I get out with my kids and as a family. We
00:25:34.020 --> 00:25:38.020
might play a game, go to a movie, have a-, These things
00:25:38.030 --> 00:25:40.260
that we do that bring such happiness and I love having a
00:25:40.270 --> 00:25:45.240
life filled with great things to do, fun things to do. But a lot
00:25:45.250 --> 00:25:51.170
of people happiness is all they have, and so they have always
00:25:51.180 --> 00:25:56.120
looking for new things, new happenings because when some
00:25:56.130 --> 00:25:59.180
things happening, I'm happy. Something far deeper and greater
00:25:59.190 --> 00:26:04.050
than happiness and it's joy. The Bible says the joy of the Lord
00:26:04.060 --> 00:26:10.010
is our strength. And when nothing's happening in my life,
00:26:10.020 --> 00:26:13.250
I don't get depressed. I don't go down into worse areas. In
00:26:13.260 --> 00:26:17.240
fact, this joy is such an amazing sense of fulfillment in
00:26:17.250 --> 00:26:23.280
life that when things, I'm not doing things that are really
00:26:23.290 --> 00:26:27.040
happening. I am still enjoying life. This joy, do you have it?
00:26:27.050 --> 00:26:32.170
Make sure that you know Jesus. And the second thing is,
00:26:32.180 --> 00:26:35.160
get your self-worth from how much God loves you,
00:26:35.170 --> 00:26:39.050
not what's going on in your life.
