God always had a plan. He's had a plan ever since. Amen. And it's still the plan today. There's always a plan to get out of the flesh and to get spiritual. In words, let God rule. Oh, that's hard for us. It's hard to let God rule. [00:15:18] (24 seconds)  #GodsPlanAlways

When you let go and let God do what God wants. There's something that takes place. That gets you to somewhere. To a place in God. That you're not in control. Amen. But it doesn't matter. Because God's got it all in His hand. He's got it under control. [00:21:14] (18 seconds)  #LetGoLetGod

I don't know what the disciples thought that day when they were there on the day of Pentecost. And the mighty rushing wind came. And it, can I say it this way? And it blew their dust out. It got rid of the flesh. And gave them something spiritual. Amen. When God poured His Spirit out upon them. Like Joel prophesied about. God put His Spirit inside of them. And they received the Holy Ghost. And began to speak in tongues. As the Spirit gave the utterance. Amen. That wind of God. [00:21:33] (37 seconds)  #PentecostPower

It's real interesting to me. That if you're in a dark house. You can't see the dust. It's only when there's revelation. There's light. That you can see the dust floating. This is really gross. But it fits right here. I was at a person's house one time. And they asked me. They said. Do you want some coffee? And I said no I don't. And I love coffee. But you know what I could see? I could see all this dog and cat hair floating. I said no. I don't want no coffee. It'll get in it. When the light reveals. That's when we know. Come on somebody. When the light reveals that there's dust in our lives. That we're just we're just fleshly. We're we're carnal. Can I say it that way? We're not doing what we're supposed to be doing spiritually. Amen. When when we're saying things that are not spiritual. When we're when we're doing. Doing things that are not spiritual. That's all that dust is in us. And we need a good sweeping. We need a good cleaning. We need some wind to come and blow the dust out of us. Come on somebody. We got to get to that point if we're going to be saved. Come out of the dust and get into the wind.

Just being formed is not enough. And then, my brain, when I was thinking about that, my brain went to what God told Jeremiah. Jeremiah, I formed you in the belly of your mama. That wasn't enough. It wasn't enough until Jeremiah had fire, had spirit, had—it's not enough just to be fleshly. Come on, somebody. It's not enough. The flesh, it's not enough. We gotta have spirit. We gotta have some wind. [00:29:08] (49 seconds)  #SpiritNotJustFlesh

I came to tell somebody, you need some wind in your life so that you can be ready for battle. Amen. We've been in the flesh too long. Amen. We've been living by the flesh too long. We've been depending on this flesh way too long. And God is standing here and he said, hey, I wish you'd depend on me a bit. I wish you'd call on my name today. I wish you'd give me some glory so I can show up in your situation. [00:30:29] (45 seconds)  #WindForBattle

I know we're going to live until we die. I get that. But we've got to have God. We've got to have that wind come and blow in our lives and push the stuff out of our life. We need life, and we need spirit, which is life. Amen. See, the spirit is what's going to return to God one of these days. [00:33:27] (29 seconds)  #SpiritIsLife

We sing those songs because if we want to be right with God, we have to give up our will and it to Him. Amen. It's never, it's never fun. It's never fun to deny oneself. It's just not fun. [00:34:56] (29 seconds)  #DenyYourself

We've got to get out of the dust. Get into the room. Get into the wind. The wind of God. The spirit of God. We've got to, we've got to be led by the spirit. We've got to follow after the spirit. On and on the scripture goes. Let God do what God wants to do in our life. Amen. [00:36:17] (26 seconds)  #LedByTheSpirit
