Outline
The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.
Having right doctrine without knowing GodA believer can have all the right doctrines and zero theological errors, yet remain completely without a personal knowledge of God.
Self-control versus knowing ChristPeople can achieve a form of victory over sin or control their temper through sheer willpower and self-discipline, but still lack the broken, humble spirit that comes from truly tasting the spirit of Jesus Christ.
The trap of following founders instead of GodMany church movements started by godly men fail because later generations know the founder and the doctrines rather than knowing God intimately for themselves.
Fellowship as a test of true holinessIf we claim to be holy or spiritual but cannot fellowship with strong fellow believers who differ with us, our holiness is flawed and functions like a king ruling over subjects rather than true Christian fellowship.
The three areas of the tabernacleThe tabernacle's outer court, holy place, and most holy place picture different levels of spiritual experience among Christians, moving from basic forgiveness to deep communion with God.
Understanding true worship versus praiseSinging songs and giving thanks are wonderful, but true worship is the highest level of intimacy where we focus entirely on who God is, declaring that He is our only supreme treasure.
The torn veil as the denial of self-willThe new and living way into the most holy place is opened through the torn flesh of Jesus, which represents the complete denial of His own human will to do the will of the Father.
Jesus praying with loud cries and tearsJesus prayed with loud cries and tears not for physical healing or to avoid bodily death, but because He desperately wanted to be saved from sin and never yield to His own will.
Finding the way in moments of temptationUnderstanding this spiritual truth in your head is not enough; you will only discover whether you have truly found this narrow way when real temptation strikes at home.
Cultivating a true hatred for sinJust as a person would utterly loathe and refuse the thought of licking a filthy toilet, we must learn to hate our sin, bad attitudes, and loss of temper with that same extreme repugnance.
A prayer for genuine fellowship and revivalThe speaker closes with a passionate prayer asking God to ignite this revelation in the hearts of elders and youth, bringing a fresh, holy revival of true fellowship across all churches.
