Well if you go back to the garden of Eden, how do you think Adam and Eve were led into sin? What does Genesis 3:1 says “Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You[a] shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” The word of God was questioned and they failed to remain loyal to the word of God because their understanding of it was shaky, and the deceiver being the deceiver that he is capitalized on it. The enemy’s methods haven’t changed, he constantly assault the integrity of the Word of God. A few days ago I was listening to a preacher who was talking about satan’s objections to speaking in tongues and some of the points that he made weren’t consistent with what the Bible teaches and I wanted talk about that today.

hello good morning this is taiva at
0:01
hives.com
0:03
and uh a few i guess a week and a half
0:06
ago
0:07
i was watching a youtube video
0:11
of this um preacher and he was preaching
0:14
about the objections
0:15
they are satan hands about speaking in
0:17
tongues and he gave like a quick
0:19
lecture about it and he said some things
0:21
that didn't sit well with me
0:23
and he shouldn't sit well with any
0:25
believer in christ
0:26
and and the title of my topic this
0:28
morning is just understanding
0:30
sound um biblical dark screen matter
0:33
and i'm gonna go into my intro and uh
0:36
and say a couple of things here like
0:37
people often say
0:39
that like sound biblical documents
0:42
doesn't really matter because
0:44
doctrines divide and they say as
0:46
christians we just need to love one
0:48
another all we need is love and unity
0:51
but if you go back to the garden of eden
0:53
like how do you think adam and eve were
0:55
led into sin
0:57
what does genesis 1 3 1 says he says now
1:00
the serpent
1:01
was more crafty than any other beast of
1:04
the field that the lord god had made
1:06
he said to the woman did god actually
1:09
say you shall not eat of any tree
1:11
in the garden see the word of god was
1:14
questioned
1:15
and adam and eve failed to remain loyal
1:18
to the word of god because their
1:19
understanding of it was shaken and the
1:22
deceiver
1:23
being the deceiver that he is
1:24
capitalized on it
1:26
so the enemy's methods haven't changed
1:28
he constantly
1:29
assaults the integrity of the word of
1:31
god
1:32
and like i said a few days ago i was
1:34
listening to a preacher
1:35
who was talking about satan's objections
1:37
to speaking in tongues
1:39
and some of the points that he made were
1:41
not consistent with what the bible
1:42
teaches
1:43
and i wanted to talk about that today
1:45
because it's important that we
1:46
understand
1:48
truth and these doctrines are important
1:50
so you need to know the doctrine of
1:51
salvation the doctrine of god
1:54
and and all these things are important
1:56
because if you don't understand these
1:57
things
1:58
you will fall prey to the enemy's
2:00
craftiness and
2:01
i have to guard myself and we are told
2:04
in
2:04
intimidating that as believers we need
2:07
to study and be diligent in
2:08
understanding the word of god so it's
2:11
important because when you don't
2:12
understand the word of god
2:14
you can fall into all types of um
2:17
heresies and problems
2:18
and i have to guard myself by the holy
2:21
spirit because he's the one that guide
2:22
us so we need to be careful that's why
2:24
we need to surround ourselves with
2:26
people
2:26
that are sound in their doctrines so i'm
2:29
gonna play the video
2:31
and as i played uh i will stop at some
2:33
points
2:34
and we will discuss the things that i
2:36
don't think
2:37
uh the things that i think are not right
2:39
so let's do that now
2:42
so here's the minister and this is what
2:44
it says two objections
2:46
if i were to ask for hands up here
2:48
amongst begin
2:50
to speak in tongues he says that's not
2:53
real you're doing it yourself how many
2:56
just put your hand up
2:57
so far no problems no he's preaching and
3:00
i'm okay with what he's saying
3:02
now you need to have the answer the
3:04
answer is you're quite right satan i am
3:06
doing it myself
3:08
i am doing the speaking but the holy
3:10
spirit is giving me the language you see
3:12
in acts chapter 2 it says they all began
3:15
to speak
3:16
as the spirit gave them utterance the
3:18
spirit didn't do the speaking
3:20
he gave them the words they did the
3:22
speaking that's why i said to that man
3:24
who tarried 25 years he'd go to his
3:26
grave without
3:27
receiving because he wanted god to do it
3:29
all god won't do it all
3:32
you do your part god will do his but
3:35
he's not going to make you speak
3:38
i've heard people say the holy spirit
3:40
made me do this and that i don't believe
3:42
that
3:42
the holy spirit never makes a child of
3:45
god do anything
3:46
the apostle peter said the holy spirit
3:48
made me go but he didn't say
3:50
he made me go you have a free will and
3:53
god will
3:54
never overrule your free will now
3:57
let me stop here for a second he said
4:00
you have a free will
4:01
and god will never overrule your free
4:04
will
4:06
and he's talking about uh speaking in
4:08
tongues and all that but
4:10
i want to stop here and i want to talk
4:11
about this right here
4:13
because this is something that a lot of
4:14
people say and i've said it in the past
4:16
and i want to go to my um
4:18
my presentation and talk about that
4:20
because i i believe it's important that
4:22
we we stop for a second
4:24
and then and mention this like he said
4:27
god
4:28
will never overrule your free will now i
4:31
used to say that like i say
4:32
and i say to myself god is a gentleman
4:35
and he will never overrule my freedom
4:37
and my free will because i don't want to
4:38
be a robot
4:39
right so i want you to ask yourself one
4:42
question
4:43
and be honest with yourself how did you
4:46
become a christian if you believe in
4:47
christ
4:48
and most people would say because i was
4:50
preached the gospel
4:52
and the message made sense to me and i
4:54
chose and accepted jesus and i was
4:56
saved now there is nothing wrong with
4:58
that statement
4:59
but i wonder if most people actually
5:01
understand that apart from the holy
5:03
spirit
5:04
changing the disposition of your heart
5:06
in my heart like they would not receive
5:08
the word of god with joy
5:10
see let me be straightforward with you
5:13
prior to becoming
5:14
a believer your free will was not
5:17
actually free you were not free you were
5:19
in bondage
5:21
and you hated god with a passion and
5:24
people say how that's
5:25
how's that possible i love god all my
5:27
life no no no no
5:29
you were born in sin you were born with
5:31
a sinful nature and your nature
5:34
that sinful nature hates god and if you
5:37
don't believe me
5:38
let's go to scripture i'm going to show
5:39
you a couple of things here
5:41
because i hear that god does not
5:44
overrule your willingness
5:46
i've become very allergic to that type
5:48
of stuff and i don't like it
5:50
and i want to challenge that today if
5:53
you go to romans 8
5:54
verse 7 scripture says for the mind
5:57
that is set on the flesh is hostile to
5:59
god
6:00
for it does not submit to god's law
6:03
indeed
6:04
he can not those who are in the flesh
6:08
cannot please god basically the verse
6:11
above is telling us that prior to our
6:13
believing in jesus
6:14
naturally we hated god so how can
6:18
someone
6:18
by nature hit god love god it's
6:22
impossible unless god himself changes
6:25
your nature
6:26
so you can see his beauty and love him
6:29
and someone will say that it sounds like
6:31
he's robotic that god is forcing himself
6:33
from somebody
6:34
understand what i'm saying here perfect
6:37
love drives away fear
6:38
perfect love drives away fear even jesus
6:41
said
6:42
you love me because i first loved you so
6:44
when the lord
6:45
changes your heart you come to see how
6:48
lovely
6:49
he is and the love of god is
6:50
irresistible now
6:52
if you go to john 6 john chapter 6 verse
6:56
44
6:56
the scripture says no one can come to me
6:59
jesus is speaking
7:00
unless the father who sent me draws him
7:03
and i'll raise him up on the last day
7:05
and john 6 65 and he said this is why i
7:09
told you that no one can come to me
7:11
unless it is granted him by the father
7:15
jesus is saying basically that there is
7:17
a necessary condition
7:18
that has to take place before
7:22
you can believe in his name there's a
7:24
prerequisite prerequisite
7:26
and that necessary condition is the
7:28
father drawing us to jesus
7:30
it is the father that does it through
7:32
the holy spirit the holy spirit changes
7:34
your mind and your heart
7:35
and then you receive the words of god
7:37
with grace and i'm going to illustrate
7:40
this like in a couple of examples here
7:42
i'm going to use two individuals
7:44
i'm gonna use um a lot and i'm gonna use
7:47
paul as well so let's
7:48
let's go and read that right now
7:52
uh if you know genesis 19 i'm not going
7:54
to give you the entire story but i'm
7:55
just gonna i'm not gonna read the entire
7:57
account i'm just gonna give you the
7:59
a summary of it and i'm gonna um zero in
8:01
on verse 15 and 16.
8:03
now you know lot and abraham i lot was
8:06
abram's nephew
8:07
so he goes and he lives in sodom and
8:09
gomorrah and he lives in sodom
8:11
and sodom is a place where wickedness
8:13
has increased in in
8:14
in just unimaginable uh quantity where
8:18
there's like homosexuals people there
8:20
they're they're like craving men having
8:23
sexual relationships with other men and
8:24
now
8:26
god comes and he wants to destroy the
8:28
entire city he comes with two angels and
8:29
the angels go
8:30
to sodom and and and a lot receives them
8:34
in their
8:34
in his house and they tell a lot we are
8:36
going to destroy the city
8:37
so you need to leave this place so lot
8:40
has been warned that he knows that
8:42
destruction is coming but now let me
8:44
pick it up from verse 15 and 16.
8:46
as morning dawn the angels urge lot
8:48
saying take
8:50
up take your wife and your two daughters
8:51
who are here
8:53
that should be swept away in the
8:54
punishment of the city
8:56
but he lingered so the man seized him
9:00
and his wife and his two daughters by
9:02
the hand the lord being merciful to him
9:04
and they brought him
9:06
out and set him outside the city see lot
9:09
knew that the city was going to be
9:10
destroyed but he still lingered the
9:12
scripture says
9:13
showing us that even when we know that
9:15
his danger
9:16
our law for sin is so deep because we
9:19
are depraved that god has to literally
9:21
drag us kicking and screaming now you
9:24
tell us
9:25
you go in and you you tell luck lord god
9:28
overruled your free will
9:29
you shouldn't have dragged you you
9:30
should have been able to do just do it
9:32
on your own
9:32
you see he was dragged out of the city
9:36
the energies were powerful they're just
9:37
like you're getting out of here because
9:40
i am god and i'm going to save you you
9:42
see what i'm saying so when you say god
9:44
is not overruled
9:45
i will it's it's it's a ridiculous thing
9:48
to say
9:49
because there are many people in hell
9:52
that will hope that god overruled their
9:53
will because guess what your will is in
9:55
bondage
9:57
so don't tell me god there's no overrule
10:00
i'm thankful that he overruled my will i
10:03
am thankful because now i'm saved
10:05
thanks be to god for being merciful and
10:07
saying
10:09
you are so depraved because your will is
10:11
in bondage that you will never receive
10:13
me
10:13
and i have to actually work in you to
10:16
will and act according to my good
10:17
purpose
10:18
so god did that and god gets the credit
10:21
because when you tell people you have to
10:23
choose god
10:25
they can't choose god because they hate
10:27
him
10:29
by nature we are born with in sin
10:32
you don't understand the powerful the
10:34
power of the sinful nature when you tell
10:36
people
10:37
you just have to receive god and the
10:38
gospel made sense to me and i
10:40
accepted jesus no you didn't
10:43
god worked in you and then you saw the
10:46
beauty of jesus
10:47
through the holy spirit and god gets the
10:50
credit because god did
10:51
all things because there's a
10:53
prerequisite
10:55
no one can come to me jesus said unless
10:57
the father
10:58
draws him now we can read paul's account
11:01
you know paul
11:02
paul the apostle paul the apostle was he
11:05
was a
11:06
he was a john um a pharisee and he grew
11:09
up
11:10
strictly as afraid he observed the law
11:12
and he was persecuting christians
11:14
and on the road to damascus paul comes
11:17
to him
11:17
he has an encounter with god jesus and
11:20
jesus
11:20
changes his heart and paul becomes one
11:23
of the greatest apostles
11:24
he wrote pretty much two-thirds of the
11:27
entire new testament
11:28
now you tell me when paul was going
11:31
chasing after christians he wanted to
11:32
kill them
11:33
do you think he had a desire to to
11:36
actually
11:36
love god no he saved somewhere acted in
11:39
ignorance and unbelief
11:41
some people say hey he was ignorant no
11:43
the ignorant was
11:44
the ignorance of paul was rooted in his
11:46
own belief
11:48
because he rejected the scriptures
11:49
because the saint paul
11:51
goes back and look at scripture and see
11:52
that there is truth that he was
11:54
led astray by his own depraved mind
11:58
so power comes to faith because the holy
12:00
spirit changes
12:01
paul's heart and is is portrayed by the
12:04
scaling falling from his eyes because
12:06
he was blinded by his depraved mind
12:10
and god had to intervene for paul to
12:13
receive the gospel
12:15
let's keep going
12:19
see this preacher was talking about god
12:22
not over
12:23
over overruling our will when it comes
12:26
to like speaking in tongues
12:27
and he used words such as you are in the
12:29
driver's seat which i'm gonna play again
12:31
let's go back and play that again
12:33
you've got to decide to speak
12:42
i say listen open your mouth move your
12:45
tongue
12:45
move your lips speak articulately
12:49
form every word you're in the driver's
12:52
seat
12:53
you make the decisions your will is the
12:56
switch
12:57
the power is there but only you can
12:59
switch it on
13:01
all right so the answer to satan is
13:03
that's right satan i am doing it myself
13:05
i'm doing the speaking
13:07
the holy spirit is giving me the words
13:13
let's go back to my presentation again
13:18
so you heard what he said he said you
13:20
are in the driver's seat
13:21
you've got to decide to speak you make
13:24
the decisions
13:25
the power is there only you can switch
13:26
it on the answer is
13:28
i'm doing it myself to satan basically
13:32
so what do we say to this i mean i i
13:34
mean this this is just this is the kind
13:36
of stuff that actually kills
13:38
people's faith in the sense that you're
13:40
telling people the reason why they don't
13:41
speak in tongues is because
13:43
they don't have enough faith and they
13:45
they have to be able to do something
13:46
what switch you can turn on
13:48
i can't just stop babbling i can't do
13:50
that
13:52
i can't make you speaking i cannot
13:55
it's not within me it's not within you
13:58
you can't
13:59
do it i mean they go out there and they
14:02
tell people
14:03
say the word say the words preach it say
14:05
the words you can't do it
14:06
why am i gonna make up word but like but
14:08
i mean you can't do that
14:11
now let's let's go to scripture in john
14:12
3 27
14:14
john says a person cannot receive even
14:17
one thing
14:18
unless it is given him from heaven it is
14:21
god who endows people with his gifts
14:24
the gifts of the spirit are from god and
14:26
he is the one who gives it
14:28
and he enables you to do it so you can't
14:30
do anything apart from god saying
14:33
you're gonna speak in tongues and you'll
14:34
receive it by faith and we're gonna look
14:36
at faith in a second
14:37
now philippians 2 verse 12 to 13 says
14:40
therefore my beloved
14:41
as you have always obeyed so now not
14:43
only us in my presence but much more in
14:46
my absence
14:47
work out your salvation with fear and
14:49
trembling it sounds like paul is saying
14:50
you got to do it yourself
14:52
but then he adds verse 13 for it is god
14:56
who works in you both to will and to
14:59
work for his good pleasure
15:01
is this god who works in you both to
15:04
will
15:05
and to work for his good pleasure jesus
15:07
also said somewhere
15:08
man does not live by bread alone but by
15:10
every word that proceeds from the mouth
15:12
of god if you look at the lord's prayer
15:14
right our father was in heaven hallowed
15:17
be thy name
15:18
thy kingdom come thy will be done on
15:20
earth as it is in heaven
15:22
give us this day our daily bread total
15:25
dependence on god for every living
15:29
breath that we take and everything that
15:31
we do
15:33
i can do nothing on my own i can't
15:35
preach the word of god without god
15:37
giving me the power to do it
15:38
i can't i mean scripture says we live
15:42
and move another being
15:43
in him god said
15:46
in in in john 14 or john 15 i'm not sure
15:50
jesus said apart from me you can do
15:53
nothing
15:55
remain in me and i'll remain in you if i
15:57
want if my words remain in you
15:59
you will bear much more fruit remain in
16:02
the vine
16:04
we are the branches so how can a branch
16:06
do something apart from being
16:08
abiding in the vine these guys are
16:10
preaching stuff that
16:11
is killing people because you go out
16:14
there now you're trying to force
16:15
yourself to do something you are not in
16:16
the driver's seat
16:18
god is in the driving seat you are not
16:21
in the driver you don't have any power
16:22
to do anything
16:24
the power is there only you can switch
16:25
it on switch what
16:28
i can't do it let's keep going
16:33
if you go to luke 17 verse 5-7 this is
16:36
important
16:37
the apostles said to the lord increase
16:39
our faith
16:40
and the lord said if you had faith like
16:42
a grain of mustard seed
16:44
you could say to this tree be uprooted
16:46
and planted in the sea and he will obey
16:48
you
16:49
and then he gives them uh this parable
16:51
he say will any of you who has a servant
16:54
plowing or keeping sheep say to him
16:56
when he is coming from the field come at
16:58
once and recline that table
17:00
really not rather say to him prepare a
17:02
supper for me and dress properly
17:04
and serve me while i eat and drink and
17:06
afterwards you will eat and drink
17:08
does he thank the servant because he did
17:10
what was commanded
17:11
so you also when you have done all that
17:13
you recommended say we are unworthy
17:15
servant
17:16
we have only done what was our duty now
17:18
what did that question imply they said
17:20
to jesus
17:21
increase our faith and we need to
17:22
understand it when you're asking jesus
17:24
to increase your faith you are assuming
17:26
that you have faith
17:28
and jesus says if you had faith like a
17:31
grain of mustard
17:32
seed which is really little you could
17:33
sit through this tree be uprooted and
17:36
planted in the sea and will obey you
17:38
jesus is basically telling his disciples
17:40
that they don't even have a
17:41
faith they don't even have a scintilla
17:43
of faith do you know why
17:45
because if they did they could have told
17:46
the tree to move and you move
17:48
and he made a statement to teach the
17:50
disciple that faith
17:51
is a result of god through his holy
17:54
spirit
17:55
working in a person to will and act
17:57
according to the purpose of god
18:00
and to make his point clear he gives him
18:02
this parable he says
18:04
with any of you who has a servant plan
18:06
or keeping sheep say to him
18:07
when he has come in from the field come
18:09
at once every kind of table
18:11
will he not rather say to him prepare
18:12
supper for me and dress properly
18:15
and serve me while i eat and drink and
18:17
afterward you will eat and drink
18:19
does he thank the servant because he did
18:20
what was commanded
18:22
so you also when you have done all that
18:24
you recommended say we are unworthy
18:26
servant we have only done
18:28
what was our duty basically jesus is
18:31
saying
18:32
you're doing it because i commanded it
18:35
scripture says faith comes by hearing
18:37
and hearing by the word of god
18:38
is the word of god that produces faith
18:40
in a person
18:42
because we can do nothing apart from
18:45
god whether you preach the word of god
18:47
whether you teach the word of god
18:48
whether you sing
18:50
work hard fill in the blanks everything
18:52
you do is possible
18:54
because it's god that creates the desire
18:56
in you
18:58
for the perfecting of his will so we you
19:00
can take zero credit
19:01
because every good and perfect gift
19:04
comes from the father who does not
19:05
change like shifting shadows
19:07
so when you tell people you have to you
19:08
have to turn the switch on
19:10
i cannot do that at all it is god who
19:13
works in me
19:14
that is why we have to constantly abide
19:17
in the presence of god
19:18
there's nothing that i can do i can't
19:20
other other word in tongues
19:22
if the law doesn't enable me to do so
19:24
yes he's giving us the gift
19:25
and we cannot take these gifts and say i
19:28
have to produce this gift of myself
19:30
i can't do it this is why the disciples
19:32
said increase our faith and jesus
19:35
corrected them saying
19:36
you don't even have a scintilla of faith
19:38
because faith
19:39
comes from the holy spirit it is him
19:42
who is in us and who causes us to do the
19:44
things that we do so we depend
19:46
totally on him remember what paul said
19:49
the life that i live now i live by faith
19:52
in the son of god
19:53
who died for me right so i no longer
19:56
live but it
19:57
is god through jesus who lives in me
20:01
you understand what i'm saying this is
20:02
important so you got to be able to
20:04
understand this thing because if you
20:06
don't
20:06
you're going to get into this thing
20:08
where you think you're actually
20:10
producing some type of faith on your own
20:13
you cannot you cannot produce faith like
20:16
you can't produce faith you can't do
20:19
anything apart from the spirit of god
20:20
this is why it's important to
20:22
constantly go back to the source the
20:25
word of god
20:26
we do all things by faith faith comes by
20:29
hearing
20:30
hearing by the word of god romans 10
20:32
chapters uh romans chapter
20:34
10 verse 17 so we do not take any credit
20:37
so
20:37
you cannot speak in tongues unless the
20:39
lord
20:40
allows you to do so you cannot heal
20:42
anybody unless the lord
20:44
speaks so you cannot do you can't even
20:47
you cannot even
20:48
preach the word of god unless the lord
20:49
anoints you to do so
20:51
so everything we do is because god has
20:53
ordained it and because god has
20:55
commanded it
20:57
do not think you can grab scriptures and
20:59
start manipulating the word of god
21:00
saying what the bible says is so
21:02
therefore i'm gonna do this
21:03
it comes from god it's the holy spirit
21:05
that's prompted you yeah yes
21:06
so you can't be preaching and telling
21:08
people ah he hasn't spoken in tongue in
21:11
25 years because
21:12
he he he just can't do it he hasn't
21:14
really he doesn't
21:16
he doesn't turn the switch on one switch
21:18
i can't turn the switch on unless the
21:19
lord himself
21:20
does that in me so it is not within a
21:23
person you are not in the driver's seat
21:26
contrary to popular opinion god is in
21:28
the driver's seat and you follow
21:30
we take his yoke upon us and we learn
21:32
from him
21:34
he does not learn from us we learn from
21:35
him because
21:37
we are the subject and we are slaves of
21:39
christ
21:41
so hopefully this has helped you guys
21:43
out again if
21:45
if if any of these things has encouraged
21:47
you please
21:48
be sure to support on types.com i'll
21:50
appreciate your help because
21:51
it does help when you got support i can
21:53
continue to do these things okay
21:55
again i'm not asking you for anything if
21:57
the lord leads you to do it then do it
21:58
if he doesn't don't do it
22:00
i don't need any kind of uh well i'm
22:02
gonna give no
22:03
this is not what i'm doing here because
22:06
i
22:06
truly care about preaching this truth
22:08
and speaking about
22:09
about these things because i believe
22:11
this is what god has me here for
22:14
okay so i want i want us to really
22:16
understand that truth matters
22:18
a doctrine matters and we need to spend
22:19
time studying
22:21
the scripture have a wonderful day and
22:23
i'll see you next time
22:24
thank you
