of seattle washington proudly presents the ministry of bishop howard robinson tearing down the forces of hell here the anointed word of this trailblazer as he demolishes tradition ignorance fear and religious bondage if you seek truth change an understanding allow yourself to meditate on the word of the lord as it is delivered through this anointed vessel empowering you as a believer in  desires for pleasure that you are what warrant your members you lust and you do not have you burger and covet they cannot obtain you fight and yet you do not have because you do not yes you ask and you do not receive because you ask me yes that you may spend it on your pleasures adulterers don't trust us do you not know that friendship with the world is infinitely with whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of god or do you think that the scripture says in vain the spirit dwells in us yearns to sleep but he gives more grace therefore he says god resists the proud but gives grace to the humble as i said the subject for the message that the years i'm in love with someone else within the times where we live there are many within the faith that have a form of godliness yet live their lives much like everyone who comprises the world they do those things that they believe that god does not care about their worldly living they believe that god just doesn't really care about how i carry myself how india  what i do basically we have fallen into a place where we who comprise the church of our lord jesus christ have missed the mark as to the things that please god and make for a healthy relationship with god a few days ago i was in prayer seeking the lord as to what it was that he had for me to preach about earlier in the week i was a little bit distressed because of the fact that i did that feel i had were from the lord and i didn't want to get up and just preach anything started wrestling in my spirit as far as well i could go up this way i could known any other man or their husband thusly the relationship was quite special during the night while her husband was sleeping there was a man that she lit in the bedroom window and he was walking through the bedroom to go into another room and the husband woke up and when he woke up he saw the man in this house and he became quite disturbed and was running to get a gun to shoot the guy and she got him between him and the man so as he could not do the man no harm and the man ran out of the house at that point she began to tell her husband about how nice the man was and she was spending time with him in order to win him to the lord because she thought he would be a good addition to god's kingdom at this point the husband told the wife that she had to choose between him and this man who she bef the wife insisted that she love the husband but she wanted to remain friends with the other male at this point the husband felt great pain and despair at the fact that the woman of his dreams the woman whom he sought love unconditionally herself in the vision the vision between her husband and another man her actions was saying to i'm in love with another male after having the dream i got out of bed and i went into the other room and began to pray because  the wife was the bride of christ the church and the friend was satan you could call it the world or worldly things the issue of the dream was that god wanted me to share with his the spouse to provide you the pain and the disappointment that he feels about the uncommitted relationship that we have with it's much like a husband who has a virgin wife who is infatuated with another man well  them would not find ourselves lacking i mean taking advantage of our relationship with god who sometimes the silent about his concerns for us we need to ask ourselves the question how  feel about where i am and has got to really feel about where i am when we see the church of today we see people caught up in pleasures when we see the church of today and we see people caught up in worldly activity yet they say that they are christians when we see the church of the day and those who profess to be christians we have to examine whether our understanding of the word christians can coincides with the bible's definition of who we are as christians basically to be a christian is to be like chri and we hear passages like first john the fourth chapter verse seventeen b which says as he is so are we in this world that's basically what it means to be a christian is the be like christ as he is in heaven as he is right now so are we in the world our lives are not called to be a reflection of the world our lives are not called to be a reflection of of anything on godly our lives are a call to be a reflection of christ we are called to be a reflection of christ in all that say we're called to be a reflection of christ and all that we do we're called to be a reflection of christ in all that we even think you need to know that the enemy walk oftentimes try to bring negative thoughts to your mind trying to steal your farm life away from god but we need to rebuke and we need to quote scriptures we need to refuse to go there and entertain the negativity that the enemy will bring to us because he's always trying to draw in some way from our faithful commitment to  how can we expect god to bring us into relationship with him when we fail to come into the preparation for our walk with him it is because so many have pm that's what she said that's what she said because that falls right in line with what god is saying to me that we need to be about and i'm not talking about people across africa i'm not talking about the people on the other side of the united states i'm not talking about people throughout see i'm talking about you right here right now god is speaking to your heart and the question is are you really lis do you really love me here it is because so many have full of short of what god is looking for then i believe he has called me to say this word to  that we may be very because really time is what i mean it's a whole lot closer to his return than we believe and he's not coming for a church that has sparked or wrinkle he's not coming for a church that's messed up he's come in for church that's ready this prepared for his return merited love then we have failed to realize and understand that there is another side of god that we should know as well and that side is the guard can be jealous god can be grieved and god can be angry and that's what i want us to hear about today there's another side to his relationship with us that we oftentimes take advantage of because of the fact that we only want to think focus on the fact that he's loving he's kind and he's patient and he's field with grace brings negative thoughts to our minds to be honest with you and i question when i was lost i have not but when my wife and i first started talking i asked are you with jealous woman going to do is going to tell us what i've been there i've done that and i didn't want to go through it we really don't want to have too much to do with folks who are jealous and i think some of us don't want to see god that way because of the fact that brings up such negative images in our farts and in our minds but yet the word share is with us the god is jealous look at the ten commandments of our attention as he has anything you put before god becomes an idol is just basically if this were jealous here in hebrew means a consuming zeal focused on the one that is love to look at that consuming zeal or that is focused on the one that you love every move every action every expression is examined and questioned you know that's why i say many of us don't want to deal with that we don't write jealous people we don't like being under a microscope we don't like having to be examined all the time as to what our motives were where you go and what she and dillon who you're talking to you go we don't like to have to go through those and he will not forgive your transgressions nor your serums for you for say the lower and serve other for gods then he will turn and don't you herman consume you after your god is a jealous god of love and you list the anger of the lord your god be aroused against you and destroy you from the face of the earth stores up raft for his enemies now you have to look at that in relationship to two james four four where where he said that he that is a friend to the world makes himsel verses one has to understand that god does not take kindly to those who are he is playing around outside of their relationship with him so easy for one to see a picture of a lover who continuously is looking at their loved one to see if there is any impropriety on their part or any signs of their being unfaithful to them when we understand that god is a jealous god we have to realize that there are things that we can't well course him to be displeased with us primarily when we have affections for in your favorite sport whether it's somebody else just said whether it's the seahawks i mean you know i hear i hear all the time on the deuce talking about churches that have closed down because of  play and so they can't worship because they they've got they want people to be able to enjoy the seahawks i mean that's a and that seahawks are more important than  obvious not pleased with that kind of action he become jealous because you're saying something else is more important than h well i don't feel like going to church today i feel like i just need to relax at home you're saying that your own relaxation is more important then god he's a jealous g in our love is seen for the world or for others other things we make them are gods and it jealousy is involved we have to know that god is jealous five through thirty two inputs and this way you fish and for chapter twenty five to thirty two it says therefore put away live and let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor over the land of one another no more you know speak the truth to one another it made him a heard that it may not be what they even like to hear or what you want to have to confess is going on with you but speak the truth to your neighbor for we are members one of another and that's why we're not some freedom from each other because where members of one another so if we're lying to one another when lying to ourselves murder you've got to get rid of it well when it comes yeah other things are going to be upset in you but you don't hold on to it you've got to let go of it you can't you can't hold onto it because you really can't reflect the kind of person let him loose to you all still no longer but rather let him labor working with his hands what is good look at this part that he may have something to give him to here that has me clamor or evil speaking be put be put away from you with no malice and and be kind to one another tender hearted forgiving one another even as god  christ forgave you in this passage there are several things that will cause our relationship with god to be negative paul shares that we should avoid them so as not to grieve for the holy spirit when when one has only espoused the bride they want to see the best in them you have to stand there right now nobody's looking for a bride that's all messed up you know you constantly examine try to see you know what's going on they want to know that there their decision is one that is made of them good for the good of the relationship the same  the case with god and his relationship with us we are his a spouse bride and outside she's looking for us to manifest the best of qualities rather than the worst he's looking for us to occupy ground wherein he can boast of his relationship with us he wants to show us off as his all men and be excited about doing so grieve basically means this it means to distress it means to distress it means to make sad it means to insult it means to make  easy it means to cause pain to bring the holy spirit into the position of showing reluctance towards us when we grieve it's to cause him to back off from us to some degree from where he would desire to be with us and what he would desire to bring to us and bring us into there's a special place he has for us there's a special thing he wants to do to us you for prophecy over and over again some of you who to be about he has a reluctance to bring it for because we're more caught up with flesh and pleasures ourselves then we're caught up with pleasing h with desire for us to be a special place it's foolish for us to think that god can tolerate our feel of it our foul behavior and not want to back away from us in our foolishness and what she had done and what he had to create about her then the king's personal attendance proposed let a search be made for a beautiful young virgins for the king what kind of women virgins that were pure that they didn't have any other kinds of affections towards anybody else find these virgins beautiful young virgins for the king let the king appoint commissioners in every province of israel and to bring all these beautiful girls into the  let them be placed under the care of her guy the king's unit who is in charge of the women let and let beauty treatments be given to them beauty treatments be given to them then let the girl who pleases the king be queen instead of vashti this advice appealed to king and he followed much like queen esther we're in the process of of going through our beauty treatments to be prepared for the wedding of our god is important that we please him with our department with our thoughts with our speech and with our faith i mean come on do you think the groom is going to be excited about that i don't think so no you are the bride of christ and god's not looking for us his bride to be all messed up he's looking for you to be a beautiful adornment to be precious ten through fourteen we find you count of moses at the burning bush where he has an encounter with god moses was a shepherd he'd been trained in pharaoh's course and knew about high places his experiences have brought him to a very low place of being the shepherd and he almost forgot about all that other stuff the pomp and the circumstance because of where he was in the in the midst of being where he was he encounters this burning bush he has an encounter with god and first hand and says then moses said to the lord oh my lord i am not eloquent either before nor since you have spoken to your servant but i am slow speech it slowly of tongue basically he's saying is i'm not qualified to do what you called me to do and many times when we see ourselves and we see the work that god has for us to do we have to say that we have positions much like mos i didn't when god said that he was he had made me to be an apostle and that i was supposed to be over a gap and i didn't i say i started working on papers but then when i thought about it i said oh no i'm not qualified to do this and i put the papers away because i just knew i wasn't qualified and i was at a conference in oklahoma in a prophet came up to me and said god said take the papers out of the drawer because the word you're doing is deigned of him and he has you to do it and i'm thinking wow i've never seen this guy before in my life you know this has to be god so i came back to seattle pulled the papers out of the drawer started looking at stuff and started writing some more and then i  be brought to my head again about who were you to be over in international ministry and i said oh i'm not worthy i started thinking about my sin and i started thinking about how messed up i was started thinking about all the things that i had done in my past all the things that i had been about all the places that wasn't how i was no great creature how i won this i wasn't there and i didn't have no money that that can't be done and so i put the papers back in the drawer again and i was in a meeting down in california and another prophet came up to me and grabbed me by the arm and shook grant tightly and he said gunson take the papers out of the car and he walked off i've never seen this guy before my life o i haven't had a commitment to do what i didn't think i was qualified to do but but here in this account here all came we find that moses and has been confronted by god and god has told him that you're supposed to go who has made man's mouth or who makes the mute the death and the singing or the blind have not i the lord in other words it's out that when the they give people the ability to seed the plain talk i am the one that does it all now therefore go and i will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say god say i'm going to i'm i'm going to stand in hogan basically saying to him because we say i can't i don't have the ability act i can't do this i can't do that and god say i need no doubt you it's about me that's what whomever else you may send in other words moses telling god god you know i don't care and find somebody else to do it  no when he's saying go how are you going to tell god no because of the fact that you don't think that you have the capabilities how are you going to tell god no who created you who made you know i don't feel like qualified to fulfill his command and suggest his brother aaron do it though god goes along with the plan aaron proves to be a disappointment to the cause of god because  in god's plan is his plan and access thirty two twenty two so aaron said don't let the anger of my lord become hot you know the god's looking for us to follow his commands and do it the way he says for us to do it so the fire of the lord burns among them and consume some of the outskirts of the camp people didn't like they were leaving mt sinai and it was time for them to move forward and they began to complain the people began to complain why hasn't moses got us doing this i just don't make no sense we ought to be doing this and that and so god's anger was kindled because of the fact that they complained and were displeased with the command  and the directives that were given to the point that is anger consumed and killed some of numbers twenty five one through four that israel remained in  so israel was joined with they all of poor and the anger of the lord was aroused against israel because of people causing you to be a participant in what they do and don't mean you gotta do it because they can't you can't you can't do what other folks do just because they don't want to and think that you're still going to have the pleasure of god because he sanctified you he set you apart to be his special ornament he said you a maybe turn me turn away from israel god was angry his people who he brought out of slavery brought from far country and they don't come and they're going to find themselves indulging in that which was on g they have even taken some of the your curse things and have full stolen and deceived and they also put it on among their own stuff therefore the children of israel could not stand for their enemies stand before their enemies but turned their backs before their enemies because they have become doomed to destruction neither will really need to take all their soldiers in all no sense for him that that you know only give us five thousand fold to go into battle you know because they have that big a place and we can definitely get the victory here and so they send for five thousand troops because there's no way they can lose this battle there has always been with them and they've never lost their lives and they go into battle and thirty two people die and because thirty two of them die but the two thousand nine hundred forty six of them forty eight of them i think it is they two thousand nine hundred sixty six of them run away because of the fact something's wrong here we've never lost a life in battle and so because of the fact that one person did not baby joshua's orders one person chose to keep back stuff that was supposed to be turned over because he was hiding it and conceiving and god was angry at the whole nation god said he wasn't going to be with them anymore destiny was doomed because of the fact the one person's actions you think you know have an effect upon what happens and korean you think your life doesn't have an effect upon everybody else the reality is we're all connected and we're all the body of christ and when we're messed up it affects everybody else when we fail to come into what god has ordained for us we place ourselves in bad places with god and with our destiny because he has these five six three seven do not let your mouth cause your flesh to it nor say before the messenger of god that it was an error why should god be angry at your excuse and destroying the work of your hands for in a multitude of dreams and many words there also all is vanity but fear god and if you look at this passage in contemporary english version it goes this way says don't let your mouth get you in trouble and don't say to the worship leader i didn't mean what i say here god can destroy everything you have worked for so don't say something that makes g you know there is a quote that i thought was biblical but i haven't found it in this as it's a terrible thing to fall into the hands of a name and the reality is that when god is angry be angry with who we are and bring forth the destruction of our word that you fifteen verse eighteen says this but does but those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart and they defile the man what you allow to come from your mouth brings the fallen into your whole being luke the six chapter verse forty five says this a good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good and always the things that speak are positive they are good and he says i am an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks so you can judge where somebody is by the things they have to say if you want to go do nothing else just let them talk and you know where they are because you're not asking the right you have asked him this he says that you may spend it on your pleasures your focus is all wrong your focus is on your pleasure your focus is on what you want for yourself your focus is on what i am unique and so god isn't going to answer that because he hasn't called you to be concerned about yourself if you're concerned about him he's going to be concerned about you lords you've heard of the marriage of the lamb he's coming back for his bride that's us we are his pride and he's looking for us to be faithful and committed to here the world has what they call a bachelor parties and you know you see and when you see these movies of the other things where in the passion parties they bring in the strippers and the other stuff you know as there was last fling before they supposedly get married what i'm trying to say i'm trying to say is you are engaged to go on and as you are the bride of christ he's looking for you to be faithful in committed to him and him alone and you failure to be committed to him and faithful to him love him alone but you're caught up in the pleasures of driving your car up in your lust it causes god's anger to be kindled against you because of your own commitment to him he says you adulterers and adulteresses to you that know that friendship with the world is empty with god and that he is a deep rooted hatred your friendship with the world is a deep rooted hatred with god you say that you love god but your actions show that you really hate him that you love someone else whoever therefore is a friend to the world makes him self the enemy of god god is speaking to us today that our focus should not be on our pleasure our focus should be more pleasing god god is speaking to us today to let us know that when we have friendship with the life these are not of the father but are of the world so so when we are find ourselves focused on our lust of the eyes what we see that looks good to us that we want the lust of the flesh the pride of life you know what my flesh crave for what my flesh desires the private life who people see me as how i can build myself up in their in their each you know salute they say positive things about me or so they see me as being more than what i am or whatever you know those things are of the world and are not of the father because it's not about us first john the second chapter verse fifteen to seventeen is do not love the world nor the things that are of the world if anyone loves the world the love the father is not  you can say you love god all you want to but the things that are important to you show four of who you really  says for all that is in the world that loves the guys in the flesh proud of life is not of the father but there's a world in the world his passing away and the loss of it but he who does the will of god abides for him he does the become unfaithful to him his heart is heavy with grief and sorrow because he loves us and wants us to love him above all of things  of all of other things he wants that nothing should be important to us aside from loving him loving his kingdom and loving our families when we fail to comply with this we end up by making god jealous we end up by grieving the holy spirit we end up by making got angry with us we end up becoming enemies of god when we prepare profess to love him we end up by falling away from the grace in the favor of god if we truly love god in our espoused to be his bride we don't want it to be said to us i'm in love with someone else and the vision god was with the bride with his wife and she was the one to have a friend on the side and you can ask the question is that me i say i love god and come to church every sunday and pay my tires i act like i'm really in love you know you know but but i still i still have other things that i think are more important right now in my relationship with god and it breaks his heart it makes him angry and makes  because he's casale committed you want your relationship to be soley committed to him the question is can you say that that i am in love with god or am i in love with someone else
