A Pastor's Thoughts From John Mcarthur's Strange Fire Conference — Shane Idleman

A Plea for Balance Between Cessationism and Continuationism

Some of you might you know, you're gonna sit through here and go well, what's he talking about? Well, let me get through some of it and hopefully it'll start to make sense. But I went to a conference this week.

And the title of that conference was strange fire and many of you know, it's John MacArthur down in Los Angeles. And I left there actually very disheartened very you know just kind of the the wind knocked out of my System and and just just the motivation and just I just left there very disheartened.

And this message really isn't a a rebuke of any sort. I'm not in a position to rebuke anybody like that or a conference like that. This is more of of a plea a plea to find the balance. When I'm talking about the gifts and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Now, let me bring some clarification in real quick here. What I mean by that is There is in the body of Christ. There is a separation. There is one side that would say that the gifts the power the anointing of the Holy Spirit has ceased Sensationism it's ceased with the apostolic age.

It's ceased with the canonization of Scripture. And then there's this side of it that believes that the gifts the power of the Holy Spirit are is active today. It's referred to often as charismatic or Pentecostal and this side would be probably considered Reformed Calvinistic and that's where these terms come from and there are polar opposites and at many times they're at war with each other.

But guess who's caught in the crossfires? Many of us. Many of us possibly Christ too. I'm not got. I haven't got there yet but many of us are caught in the crossfire and what I mean by that is my heart aches on this topic because They were using some very strong words at this conference.

You know almost being that if you're if you're charismatic or believe in the power of the Spirit the spirit-filled life. That you're somehow being influenced by demonic Influences you're open for too much deception and and all these things and that's why my heart ached and I know that the words that I'm speaking tonight are actually going to outlive me probably with the age of the Internet the media CDs.

So but this is actually something that's been on my heart for many many months and something I've been wanting to talk to the church about obviously this message goes out a lot on the Internet and the radio and there's a lot of different people and I know this isn't Going to hit the leaders of This conference or of this movement say of John MacArthur RC Sproul.

It's not and it's not going to reach them. What I want to do is plead for the middle ground. I want to reach those people who are kind of caught in the middle and not sure what's going on and what's going on is a lot of times when you turn on television and you see.

What is that? Going on. I mean just the I mean look at this new reality shows preachers of Los Angeles. What yeah, go google it. It's it's it's yeah, we're not it's uh Let me get to the bottom the main point of this whole message is Everybody is lumped into this weird side.

So if if it's odd, it's God these weird things on TV guys leaving his wife meeting somebody else. You know all these weird Manifestations of what they call the Holy Spirit. They throw all of us into this side if you say yeah I believe that the gifts and the power of the anointing the unction those are words You can't really use or you're being weird.

Anybody that believes that is cast into this side. So there are some scathing words for this side where the scathing words should have been for those guys. There's a lot of us here in the middle. This is a plea for balance.

With there we can find the middle ground and I'm quoting here what John MacArthur said and again at this guy's he's Forgotten more information than I'll ever even know when it comes to theology. I've got his books.

I've got his his study Bible. You know, this is sound doctrine. I love a lot of these guys, but the words that they said Were alarming some of the things that I took from there if the charismatic movement was big was being produced by the Holy Spirit.

Which it's not they say the glory of Christ would prevail everywhere. It would be Christ dominated and everyone in the movement would be bowing to the knee of the true Jesus Christ. The people would be humble.

They would be joyful. They would be sacrificial. They would be confessional. They would be declaring Jesus as Lord and themselves his slaves. They would be denying themselves taking up the cross and following him wherever he led and I want to say hello.

Yes, that's right. That's right right here right here. I'm not don't shoot me. I agree with this. Absolutely. Let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater but there's a big debate and you'll see go Google this strange fire and in in Sensationism versus charisma and Pentecostal and that's why I you'll notice I avoid terms anything with ism on the end of it Calvinism Armenian ism Pentecostal ism.

Cara charismatic ism, you know, if that's what we're, you know, all these just because they want to label you. Oh, you're with that weird guy over there. You're with all that weird stuff going on the the gold dust falling from the ceilings and the the gold fillings in their teeth.

And barking like dogs and acting like animals. You're part of that group. No. No, I'm probably more part of your group. I Don't agree with that whatsoever. I Read the John MacArthur study Bible not the Benny Hinn study Bible.

And I'm not poking fun at names tonight, but there comes a time and a place when you've got to set boundaries. I Love John Piper not Creflo dollar. I'm drawn to Francis Chen not charlatans. I mean we're on the same page you're shooting brothers are shooting brothers.

We love sound doctrine. We teach sound doctrine. We preach sound doctrine. We live by sound doctrine. But These guys are fighting each other and we're caught in the crosshairs. So we're labeled and we're put in this weird camp that does not belong the Holy Spirit's not a spirit of weirdness.

He's a spirit of power of truth of glorifying Christ of pointing people to the scriptures of discernment. So I want to go through this and I hope it's going to be helpful. I'm just going to talk about three points and I really wish I could have fully exhausted this and taught more about the gifts of the Spirit the fruit of the Spirit all these Things but this whole fight hinges on three things.

Whether the Gifts and Miraculous Works Continue Today

The gifts and the miraculous are not for today is what they would say number two. What a lot of this hinges on is the fruit that is produced by this movement is not godly fruit. And Number three, it's sheer emotionalism.

It's just emotionalism this music and as you guys are sheer emotionalism. I Mean how they know and we just sung that last song spirit fall afresh on me. That's see people would have just whoa, you can't talk about that and the Holy Spirit with biblical Fill me please with your spirit Lord.

I give you everything fill me afresh. I read Jesus had returned to your first love. I need to be filled afresh because as Dio Moody said I'm a leaky vessel and I need to sit underneath the fountain of life all the time.

Because I'm leaky. So that's what this big battle is and I sit there and it's okay to be humble and disagree. But when you're out saying guided by Satan charlatans all this Spirit led stuff. It's almost like wait a minute.

Hold on there. Let's put on the brakes. Let's talk about this now. I have exhausted this topic in different areas. If you're interested, you can go online and get the Holy Spirit and fire. I talked about that and then I talked about how to be filled the Spirit of God.

Now keep in mind that this controversy is not new. It's gonna help a lot of people. Trust me. I'm going somewhere George Watson, I believe wrote this I'm guessing about a hundred years ago the true saints of God Who have clear heads and a pure warm heart and all generations?

Have had to walk between the two extremes of cold formality on the one side and wild ranting fanaticism on the other. Dead formality and the false fire of fanaticism are both Satan's counterfeits and he does not care into which extreme the soul Plunges as long as it plunges and this is where you'll often hear me say you can be you can be as straight as a gun.

Theologically, but be just as empty. Why. Because the letter kills the Spirit gives life the truth of God and the Spirit of God are married. And that's where the power comes from the power of the pulpit the power of Victoria's Christian living the power of everything is the two.

Are married. That's why you'll see Satan go after truth, and he'll go after power. He doesn't care about Doctrine by itself, but when you marry that with the spiritual power. Now you're gonna wreck havoc on his kingdom now, you're gonna be dangerous.

That's what this whole thing is about now. Here's the key the friendly fire. When you're caught in the middle of friendly fire, do you know what that is on the battlefield? It's like oh we accidentally just shot our own guys and That's what's happening.

Because there's been so many great men and women of God that have came before us that embrace the Spirit's power. When you think of a W toes or Leonard Ravenhill the late D Martin Lloyd-jones Contemporary such as John Piper CJ Mahaney to Francis Chen Mark Driscoll for some of the younger crowd.

You know these guys and there's women too as well. They embrace so we're shoot. It's like you can't just throw everybody into this weird camp just because you see what's going on in TV. So I want to kind of expose that and what they're going after and what I've seen before.

I've played some of the video clips. At some of these events you'll see people running around as if they're on fire. Barking like dogs laughing like out of control just rolling around just cackling. It sounds like a demonic conference going on there and all these things are happening now.

Can God work in there? Well, sure. He can work in jails. He can work on the backside of the desert. He can work inside of a Mormon building if a person's so let's not be careful and say God's working and that excuses everything now granted as a student of revivals and Loving revivals and reading a lot about Whitfield and Wesley and the Great Awakenings of Welsh revivals.

People were dramatically changed by the power of God. Sometimes it was messy. It's not necessarily pretty when God's wrecking a life or restoring it or breaking one that things happen when he's honored there.

And that's a little bit about my background for those interested. That's I do. I read people like MacArthur and the Puritans and and and. You know John Calvin's systematic theology, and I love that deep theological understanding.

You've got to have that. But you can't dismiss the power of the Spirit those are those have to go together now. Here's the dilemma both sides say or I would say they would say we all love truth. We're all looking to truth, right?

So where's the dilemma? Where's the problem here? Why is there such a problem? Everything hinges upon this fact. Did the gifts and the power the anointing the unction all these things that happen in the New Testament?

Did that stop or did it not? So they would say it stopped. So if you look weird like that or you do anything has to do with the Holy Spirit or you're you're it must be demonic influence. It's not good.

You're not going in a godly direction. It's not producing godly fruit. That's what the quote I just read said it would be Christ glorifying that you know. You would you would bow the knee to the true gospel and all these things.

So let's talk about this those three things real quick the gifts the miraculous are they or are they not for today now? Granted I would have you turn to 1st Corinthians 12 13 and 14. We'd fully exhaust this and and go through it, but I'm not looking at the different gifts and what they mean.

I just want to talk about this point. Here's that here's basically the the scripture that this group would hang their hat on. When that which is perfect comes that which is in part will be done away with.

Now we can all agree. That we will not need that gifts of the power of the Spirit at some point when we die, right? So we all agree that when that which is perfect comes. Then that which is in part will be done away with we all agree that something perfect is coming.

The problem is what is that perfect thing? Those who believe that the Holy Spirit power the miraculous the gifts have stopped they believe because we now have this. So you don't need the other now let's talk about that for a minute and.

And at this conference is this gentleman I believe the name was Steve Lawson great speaker. I love him as well, but he said something he did some things that were a little disheveling to me. He quoted John Calvin for 30 minutes on why the gifts and the miraculous doesn't happen today.

Well what I would rather go to the biblical text versus Calvin. Because what they forgot to do is on this text. He never quoted what John Calvin said about this text. John Calvin says when that which is perfect comes does not have to do with this.

It has to do with when we die and we're face to face with Christ. It's his commentaries on 1st Corinthians 12, but we don't want to quote that also Calvin was coming out against a lot of the miraculous and people being you know out there and demonically impressed and all this.

But we have to remember the context and with Calvin was writing who is John Calvin a reformer. What were they reforming the Roman Catholic Church the papacy so a lot of what he was saying. Was against these Mary visions or the miracle or all the things that were happening in the corrupt Roman Catholic Church.

Oh I'm gonna upset some more people now. But look at history look at history. You can't buy the power. You can't buy the spiritual power. So he was coming against the Roman Catholic Church and the indulgence and purgatory and all these things that aren't biblical.

That was the whole point of the Reformation. Martin Luther came along and said hello. Let me let me tap these 95 theses on the church doors in Wittenberg Germany in 1517 and let me challenge the church on all these things that are not biblical.

So we're taking Calvin sometimes out of context. So that you can't quote him you have to look to the Bible and that maybe not isn't for some of you. But that'll be something for some of those of us listening later.

Now here's the thing with with the gifts that the spouse that's the the spiritual power. Here's the key if it was biblical and encouraged if it was biblical and encouraged in the New Testament. Which it was right.

I mean Paul wasn't some weird loose, you know canon. If it was encouraged and biblical in the New Testament, why is it of the devil today? Well, let's let's just think this through here that's what I had to do.

Actually, I already had my sermon planned until yesterday afternoon and then I had this one. God was just tugging on my heart. You will never see what God creates good and now it's bad. And in some of your minds you're going well, wait a minute here.

Well, I've been thinking about this all day. You will see what God created is good. The enemy will come and pervert. Marriage good perverts it food good perverts it. You go down the list. So this is wonderful the gifts the power of the anointing of the Spirit operating in the day of the the early church the disciples weren't waited in an upper room and they could feel tongues of fire coming down and They spoke an utterance.

They spoke in this language that people said you're drunk. You're out of your mind. Peter says hold on. This is that which the Prophet Joel spoke of that in the last days I will pour out my spirit on all flesh your sons and your daughters will Prophesy your young men will dream dreams your old men see visions and on my men servants and on my maid servants I will pour out my spirit on that flesh in those days.

Peter saying this is that that Joel spoke of. This is all good. But now it's of the devil. It doesn't make any sense. But it does make sense that the devil will take these things the giftings of the Spirit and pervert them.

I mean if you look at some of the things that some of the hyper Pentecostal weird stuff was happening it does look like some type of pagan worship services and Pagan, you know, there's there's there's utterances and different things so there they can mimic these things.

But if it was wonderful in the biblical in the New Testament Paul wrote entire chapters of the Bible on how to handle the gifts. Do we just go and cherish this 1213 chapter 13? Well, we keep some of that.

I mean do we just chair tear these out and As D. Martin Lloyd-jones reminds us who was actually a Calvinist. But he talked about the baptism of the Holy Spirit in the last chapter of his book on preaching and preachers.

And then his publisher said because they're part of this camp. We're not going to publish your work anymore. He said that living children need rules dead children. Don't. That'll sink in if you get upset at that.

I didn't say I'm quoting D. Martin Lloyd-jones. Living vibrant children of God need rules. Dead children don't dead to the things of the Spirit. They don't need any rules. There's no regulations there now granted again I would gravitate theologically Conservatively.

To this side. I love these guys. This is this is this is I like I love them. I don't read again Benny hints. I don't know if he's even written a commentary. I don't read. I don't listen to it. I don't those weird stuff that's happening.

You've got to be careful because a lot of those guys on TV. They're saying just send us $1 ,000. We'll send you this oil with we're coming a gallon out against that. We say that that's blasphemy that they the signs and wonders gospel.

The prosperity gospel is not the real gospel. Seek Christ the gift-giver not the gifts. These guys at million-dollar homes driving jets and Rolls-Royces and walking around as if God's a butler in heaven.

This is wrong. We denounce it. We're not with them. Hello. But just because we believe and embrace the Spirit's power. Don't shoot me. I'm just going off New Testament. New Testament says it's wonderful.

It's a gifts of God. They should be sought but now you can't because it's of the devil and The whole thing is contingent upon one of the things is that verse when that which is perfect comes. That which is in part shall be done away with.

Now granted the book of Acts and here's what else some will say the book of Acts is not necessarily written for doctrinal direction. Okay, it's not necessarily a book of doctrine. But it can be used for experiential Verification.

Does my experience with the Holy Spirit line up with scripture? Yes, it does if it doesn't that's why all this weird stuff like yeah, you got to be careful here. I mean, I've been to some things you seen just people, you know be healed in that stomach and they kick them in the stomach.

What can you see the gold dust falling down and stuff and no I can't. I've been spent a lot of time in prayer myself, too. And I just you know, so we just got to be careful. We don't want to get thrown into it once I know.

Testing Supernatural Claims Against Scripture

On that let me let me just back up a little bit. Jesus also said and these signs shall follow them that believe in My name they will cast out devils. They will speak with new tongues and such and such they will do miraculous things.

Well, if G is he saying well he should have said and these signs shall follow them that believe. For about the next 60 years. Thinking it's 30 AD the book of Revelation probably complete in 80 90. There's some debate about that.

So so Contextually that doesn't jive. Theologically if you look at hermeneutic approaches to biblical studies, you can't take from this and these signs shall follow them that believe. But not not later not later just right now this room in my name.

They will know he's saying that those who believe on my name will have the power of the Spirit residing in them. Now a point of clarification here healing services things like that. A lot of those things.

I don't really agree with I know that's gonna shock a lot of people but you can't announce when God is gonna heal any more than you can announce when God is gonna save. You can't acknowledge. Let's everybody's gonna get healed and what we do is we whip them up in a frenzy.

We whip them up in a frenzy and God and we do all these things. However, I believe that we should say Lord, I'm a humble broken vessel. Would you use me to heal people tonight if there's somebody needing the healing or touching Lord use me on that vessel?

I'm that broken vessel Lord at your disposal and that's how we see it working and I remember at this conference, you know, many of you have heard of a Joni or Johnny Erickson Tata and she gave her testimony that she was at a at a Katherine Kuhlman Event a healing event and many years ago gosh by 50 years ago, and there's a whole bunch of people lined up in wheelchairs.

She never went to any of them. No, nothing. They all had to be willed out go out the back. So nobody sees up the elevator. We're talking dozens of wheelchairs and that's what the thing about gift of healing people don't realize it's not like.

It's like God use me and he prompts us and he uses us as vessels for healing for deliverance for all these things. So we have to be careful with that. Now let's talk. I'm almost done with this when that which is perfect comes that which is in part will be done away with.

Paul goes on to say but let me put this in context of this whole verse. 1st Corinthians 12 13 14. You should read it's where Paul's talking about love. You can speak with the tongues of angels. You can you know have the faith that would move a mountain.

You can have all these things. Burn your body, you know have it be burned at the stake. Give all your things to the poor. But if you have not love it profits you nothing. So that the terminology today would be you can preach as well as Whitefield and Spurgeon and MacArthur.

But if you have not love it profits you nothing. You can have a PhD in theology. But if you have not love it profits you nothing. And then he goes on to say love is patient love is kind. It doesn't envy it doesn't boast.

It's not rude. It's not proud. It's not self-seeking. Love will never fail. And then he says but where there are prophecies. Where there are tongues? They will be done away with but not love and. Then that which when that which is perfect comes that which is in part will be done away with.

So they say well, obviously. All these things have been done away with when that which is perfect comes. But we have to keep reading. Paul says when I was a child I spoke as a child. I understood as a child.

But when I became a man, I put away childish things and then he says for now we see through a glass darkly, but then Face to face now. I know in part, but then I shall I Shall know even as I also am known and in other words Paul saying we look through a mirror dimly right now.

We don't we're in our sinful natures. We can't really see things, you know perfectly but when that which is perfect comes we can. So if that which is perfect means this. Then now we all see better than Paul.

That'll sink in later to think about Paul saying for now. We see through a glass darkly, but when that which is perfect comes. You will be able to see perfectly. So everybody in this room all Christians now can see better than Paul and James and Peter that doesn't make sense.

Contextually, it doesn't work. But what happens is because I don't like this doctrine I'm gonna try to make things fit to prove it if the Bible taught Sensationism where the gifts of the Spirit have ceased I'd be the first to embrace it.

Absolutely. Hello right here. But that's that's the whole thing on the gifts now. Let's talk. Let's turn to the next one. The fruit that is produced is ungodly. The fruit that is produced is ungodly and I will be honest the much of much of what I see and and hyper Pentecostal charismatic movement some of that.

Much of what I see is embarrassing. It's embarrassing milking the people acting a certain way. Leave their wife and then they'll get married six months later to somebody else and all these things were saying it's bad.

It's not good. It's embarrassing. But let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater again. The fruit that is produced is ungodly. Now what I want to do on this, I'm gonna reread the quote from MacArthur at the beginning that I gave.

About if the charismatic movement was truly being produced by the Holy Spirit the glory of Christ would prevail everywhere. It would be Christ dominated and everyone in the movement would be bowing to the true Christ in belief of the true gospel.

Remember I wrote that read that. Well, let's just reword it and say if Christianity was true. If Christianity was true and an atheist would be saying this then the glory of Christ would be prevailing everywhere.

It would be Christ dominated and everyone in Christianity would be bowing to the knee of the true Christ in belief of the true gospel. The people would be humble. They would be joyful. They'd be sacrificial.

They would be confessional. They would be declaring Jesus as Lord and they themselves as slaves. Well, obviously this isn't happening. So Christianity must be wrong. No. Obviously probably 90 of the people professing faith in Christ either don't truly know him or they're not filled mightily with the Spirit of God.

So you can't you can't fall that just because a few people spoil it doesn't mean that the message isn't true. That's on this whole point of the fruit that is produced Is ungodly now on this point this is where I'd share a little bit about if I had especially if I had more time, but on my own my own personal testimony and when when.

Experiencing I've talked about before the power of the Spirit of my own life and how it radically changed everything now. The Bible came alive now worship came alive now. I couldn't get more of God now.

I'm just worshiping God and and he's working through me and and and and I come out a better husband. I'm loving my wife instead of hitting her. I'm loving my children said I'm yelling at them. I come out of this the spirit for life a better person.

There's godly fruit there. You cannot worship Christ and worship Satan at the same time. It's not possible and They that's why they challenge a lot of contemporary music. Because it's too emotional. Well God help us if we can't sit here and sing worthy is the lamb worthy is the lamb Slain before the foundation of the world blessed Redeemer cry out and then come out of that worship better people.

That's godly fruit. So one of the things they challenge is this this fruit that's produced is not godly however. You're just looking at a few individuals and we all know what Jesus said in Luke 11 18 if Satan is divided against himself.

How can his kingdom stand how can we worship Christ all morning long and then somehow now? We're worshiping Satan for those who speak in tongues or those who have words of wisdom or words of prophetic words and all these things.

And we don't need to be scared of these things. For example when Paul talks about somebody who's been given a word of knowledge or a prophetic word would be something like this. Let's say it's been on my heart for all week in it and things like this have happened.

It's just pressing pressing and just go to somebody say listen Peter. Take it for what? It's worth but are you cheating on your wife and. The guy breaks down and starts weeping. Why? Why? Because God led the person to confront them.

That's what people don't understand. It's not we live on prophetic words week by week and what there. What do we just we just allow God to use us and sometimes he allows us to speak into people's lives.

But they would say but we have all this we have all this. Yes, we do. But that guy need to hear this. God's a sovereign God we have this for God life and godliness. This is all we need. But that guy need to be confronted or somebody else needs to be built up.

The problem is we take prophetic words and we throw it into this side and everybody has to get a word every week. What are the prophets saying? What are the words? What it won't work. Give me a word. Do you have something for me today and we live off of something?

That's a lot of times not right. It's not correct because the flesh gets in the way and it is dangerous because Deuteronomy says if somebody says thus saith the Lord. It does not come true stone them.

So we hold that very if you're gonna say the Lord's that's why usually I'd say listen. This is impressed upon my heart and we challenge that's what a word of that's a little prophetic word would be. Is your is your something that God has revealed to your heart?

You've prayed about you petition and you approach someone I I Remember and I'll just be honest with you guys. I don't think I've told this this this congregation. That's what I've told different people.

Morgan will remember this in 2003. I Went to. I have to look and see if I wrote down I went to actually kind of make fun of a healing service. You know, it's kind of this guy, you know, and I go there, you know, it wasn't too bad.

But the week prior to was probably 2002. I don't know remember but God is dealing in my heart big like I mean we're talking about Career changes. It's like Lord. I'm feeling this word rise up in me. And when I if I preach what you're giving me, this is gonna come across arrogant.

This is gonna come across bold. This is gonna come across and I told Morgan that sure I said I God's do because what I was doing is I was traveling around speaking in health and fitness conferences. And I want to say stop worrying about what you look like.

Are you right with God and all this stuff was rising up in me? Is he calling me the ministry well, the Bible doesn't say what chapter and verse to turn to it doesn't tell me anything about just I just meeting and reading and meditating upon looking to the Word of God and I was.

It's so I mean we must have been in turmoil for a week or two. Am I gonna quit my what is he doing in my heart? I can't say this to people. They're gonna think I'm some arrogant Guy just knelling him Lord.

What are you doing? And then we we just talked about this. So I go to this this thing I'm just sitting there and the guy goes young man. Would you stand up? That's okay, and he started just right into it.

God is calling you. It's not arrogance. It's boldness and men of God have started to start it got to start being bold and speaking out for Christ. God is stirring it up in you to call you that ministry to call you to lead people back and God's gonna do it and I'm like coincidence.

Wow. But I lived off that for ten years. I Just open Lord, what do you want to speak to me? And does it line up with Scripture? See that's what we forget. We're not saying go live your life based on prophetic words.

We're saying if you get a word somehow go look it up line it up with Scripture seek God with all your heart. See if it comes to pass. Don't live off of it. It's more of encouragement or sometimes in that case a rebuke.

That's the whole point of these things is God and that's what people don't understand. Yes. This is all we need. We these things don't supersede the Bible. They're not equal to the Bible. They're not new revelations that supersede and and all these things all they are is if you can use the word Supplemental in addition to that God uses to speak to his people.

If he that guy would have said listen, you need to quit your career. You married the wrong woman. Hello, I mean this this stuff is very but what happens is we know we can get people worked up in a frenzy.

What are the profit? What are you saying? Look good coming to what's gonna get a word? Yes, you're gonna be you're gonna be ahead not to tell you're gonna make it financially. You're gonna be good and we look for all these things and that's not how God works.

They forget that the famous reformer John Knox who said give me Scotland for the cause of Christ or I shall die used to have Prophetic dreams and he used to warn the king about certain things that did eventually happen.

Why don't we talk about those things? So we have to make sure the fruit that is produced is ungodly from what you see on TV. But in my life, it's I should be buried in a cemetery right now. Like I said before I should be hung over today.

I should be or checked in and rehab. That's where I should be. So the power of the Spirit operating in my life. Changing me the fruits that produce give me more fruit if that's bad. Bring it on bring it on because I want more of God.

I want to be full more filled more of God and This whole issue of tongues that people are worried about is when you're sometimes Praising God and and God brings a prodigal son home and you're worshiping God and you just start speaking in the what is this?

I don't this prayer language and you're praising God to say that's demonic when you're saying worthy is the lamb in your heart and your Heart's breaking you're being drawn to Christ to say that's demonic is Hermeneutically incorrect.
