I want to talk to you today about a spirit versus flesh in the sense of the
devil provoking you you know how do you know what's really going on have you
ever sort of come into an atmosphere and you were happy and joyful and fine and
maybe even single to dance a little jig ulsan you come into a certain atmosphere
and it feels tight you sort of almost you almost just get stirred in your
spirits like what is happening what is that what is going on I was I was fine I
was good I was happy a minute ago not my spirit it started what is happening of
you yogi you sort of get around certain people and you know you come in you're
in a good mood you're happy you're whistling Dixie and all the subjects you
come around some certain people and you get like agitated and it's like all of a
sudden you're just you're just Padgett ated you're just annoyed and it's like
what is going on I mean this is a nice person there there's no natural reason
why and this person should be grinding you grading you it's not like an iron
sharpening iron thing it's like something's going on like like you just
you're just not tough and not able to just tolerate the person it is it's you
is it you is it just you having a bad day or is it your flesh or is it a
double provoking you let me give you one more example you know one minute as
things are just fine and dandy you know you just may be sitting in your house or
maybe you're driving in your car maybe it's maybe you're just you're just
hanging out with friends everything is fine and all of a sudden wow it's like a
shift happen and it's like something's provoking you something prodding you
something's poking you and you're like what is this my mood has subtly shifted
now unless you've got a mood disorder and hope you don't but if you do praise
God you get delivered hashtag delivered unless you've got some kind of mood
disorder some kind of hormonal imbalance your emotions really shouldn't shift
really shouldn't be so stirred where they shouldn't be so simple you know in
the moment unless you've got some sort of as something going on in you maybe
you've got a deep and I don't know praise God if you do come to our inner
healing and mass deliverance conference you know hashtag whoever and praise God
but many times you know you've got to discern what is this is this my flesh or
is this my spirit what that I'm picking up on and something is
shifted something has changed what is happening is that my flesh is it my
spirit let me read your scriptures I'm going to first read this to you from the
King James Version okay the Bible says now while Paul waited for them at Athens
listen his spirit was stirred in him his spirit was stirred in him he was waiting
minding his own business just past in time he was waiting on his
friends and all of a sudden his spirit was stirred within him what was going on
what was happening was it something that was happening in the spiritual
atmosphere something that was happening in his soul in his flesh what was
happening well it tells us here when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry
this spirit was stirred within him when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry
see sometimes things you see what your eyes can call you to be stirred in your
spirit in a good way or in a bad way sometimes things that you see with your
natural eyes can cause you to be stirred but sometimes it's not your natural eyes
sometimes it's your spiritual eyes sometimes your discerning something
round and about you that will cause a stirring you might not see the natural
like Paul saw the idols you might not see what your natural eyes but your
spiritual senses are going berserk I like spider-man you say the spidey
senses are going berserk your spiritual senses are going stir something is
stirring in you and it's not good it's the Holy Ghost the Holy Spirit is
grieved you've got to learn to discern the difference between a soul that is is
is bothered and a spirit that is stirred you've got to learn the difference why
because your reaction matters if it's just your soul that's Bodwell bless God
you need to put that thing down you need to get to a will you remind your
emotions settled and stable you don't need to react to respond out of your
Solus realm but if it's your spirit that is stirred you need to pray you need to
discern what is the will of God you need to discern what into this that is
stirring my spirit what is studded is moving the holy ghost on the
inside of me what is this that is bothering him so let me read you this
out of the amplified version now while Paul was awaiting them in Athens his
spirit was grieved and roused to anger as he saw the city was full of idols his
spirit was grieved and roused with anger see sometimes you can just have a
righteous indignation on the inside of you because of something you see what
you are naturalized or because of something you discerned in the spirit
the other this thing called spiritual climate spiritual atmospheres what is
that well spiritual is spiritual an
atmosphere is a mood it's a prevailing temperature it's a prevailing atmosphere
the prevailing climate you know it's like a sometimes you can feel the Holy
Ghost is just a sick inner Prince there's glory count clouds in a place
sometimes you just sense the presence of God so strongly he has dominated the
atmosphere the Holy Ghost can prevail in an atmosphere but sometimes you know it
can be a demonic atmosphere it could be a dark oppressive atmosphere you can go
into certain cities in America for example and you could even as you're
passing but for example in South Florida we have Miami Fort Lauderdale in West
Palm Beach these three counties we call the tri-county area now when you are in
this region you will feel like a clamp on your soul you will feel witchcraft
you will feel oppression many times if you don't know how to live here you got
to learn you sort of learn to deal with it you take authority over it but listen
to me as soon as you pass over that West Palm Beach line just as quick as you
cross I don't know if it's what it is but as quick as you pass over into the
next County all of a sudden you got more of an open heaven and by the time you
get up to North Florida you got it open up and why because the spiritual climate
the spiritual atmosphere down here is staunch it's rife with witchcraft false
religions all manner of issues and sin sexual sin all kinds of issues and so
you know sometimes when you when you enter into a climate like that where
demon forces are prevailing have taken tab Dominator or Domini
aided in the indie atmosphere and are affecting the natural climate as well
sin manifesting etc your spirit will be grieved and roused in anger you'll just
feel a righteous indignation if you're spiritually sensitive you'll just be
grieved while you group because the Holy Ghost is grieved let me read you the
same scripture in the new American Standard Standard Version
now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens his spirit was being provoked
within him as he was observing the city full of idols his spirit was being
provoked within him he was being provoked you know Devils will provoke
you you know sometimes people that provoke you you know who it is it's not
really the people they're being used as toys of the devil you know sometimes the
devil will use people to provoke you sometimes you can be happy and fine and
good and all the sudden somebody wants to come in with some disrespect somebody
wants to come in and just provoke you to anger somebody wants to come in and just
stir the pot start talking about things then don't irritate you you know if you
have teenage children praise God you know what that's like because teenagers
just want to provoke you they just want to get your goat they just want to yank
your chain praise God some of you need jerking on their tail and tell them to
submit to their parents praise God but you know teenagers that's what they do
they provoke you you know a having the Bible had a provoking spirit you know
sometimes you can enter into a crowd of people or into an office environment
maybe you got some people at your workplace and they just provoke you you
know but here's the thing you got to understand it's not you got to separate
the principality from the personality you have to understand that we wrestle
whether the fusion 6ei we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against what
principalities and powers rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in
high places and that's what we're wrestling is you've got understand it's
not a war with the person they've got some spirit on them that wants to
provoke you they have been a tool in the enemy's hand to provoke you here let me
read you this one more from the and I'm going to pray for you from the message
Bible the longer Paul waited in Athens for Silas and Timothy Timothy the anger
anger he got all those idols the city was a junkyard of idols now I
know when I come into spiritual atmospheres or their sin prevailing I
get very stirred in my spirit I did very angry in my spirit I get very provoked
in my spirits what do you do you gotta pray you got a push back that I'll take
a soldier's listen business is very important you've got to take authority
over the spiritual atmosphere before the spiritual atmosphere takes authority
over you in other words you need to push it back before you come up under it once
you sit under without resisting once you sit under with with with full permission
once you sit under and refuse to push back will come upon you in other words
if you sit under teachers who are teaching deception that deception will
come upon you if you sit in a spiritual climate that's wife with with with
darkness and sin you know temptation will try to come over you you've got a
discern is this my soul is this my flesh is this much spirit your are three part
bearings being spirit soul and body you are a spirit you have a soul and you
live in a body and so is this just your flesh are you just angry to this your
flesh I'm just angry because you don't like somebody are you right because you
don't want to be somewhere you know what if that's the case put your flesh down
honey just crucify your flesh just go ahead and die to self and grow up praise
God have your little temper tantrum inside internally and ask the Lord calm
me down help me Jesus help me Lord to put this down help me Lord to get my
soul straight in the navel or cry out to God if it's your soul again you know
let's let your soul they remind your own emotions and be obedient be submissive
to your spirit man you want to live according to your spirit being led by
your spirit as your spirit is led by the Holy Spirit in other words you don't let
you don't live by your soul you don't live by your emotions you don't live by
the reasonings of the imaginations of your mind
you don't live by your will alone you live by your will as surrender to the
holy spirits so I hope that you learned something today I know people come down
to South Florida sometimes I got warfare I've got issues you know I was in
Singapore the spiritual climbing there was much much different there were times
when I was grieved in my spirits there's times when I was provoked in my spirits
just seeing spins you know the Hindu temples I was like whoa that's
crazy seeing here the Muslim cried I was like whoa that's just stirring my spirit
