A Better Life | Senior Pastor Kenneth Carpenter

you have your Bibles it would stand with me today we love worship and praise but it leads us to the word John chapter 10 and verse number 10 John chapter 7 and verse number 38 be our text for today he said the thief cometh not but to steal and to kill and to destroy but I have come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly John 7:38 he then believeth on me as the scripture has said out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water but this spake he of the Spirit which they that believe on him should receive for the Holy Ghost was not yet given because that Jesus was not yet glorified today I want to preach and tried my best to inspire all of us on this simple topic a better life a better a better life I don't know about you but I was the one that made up the titling and it excites me all right a Petter can that relate to anybody here today a better a better life say while we're praying for the message today remember these names in prayer sister croucher has been in the hospital they were able she had a blockage in her heart and they were able to go in and open up that that artery and so pray for her but there's been a complication with her her kidneys so please pray for sister croucher today Alex and Samantha were in a car wreck last night they're there they're okay but kind of beat up a little bit let's remember them in prayer also sister Laura Laura Boyd was in a car wreck on Friday broken several ribs and she was in ICU at the University of Tennessee please remember Laura in prayer please remember brother Lee they had hopes of being here today he is suffered from a stroke and he is recovering but please remember the Lee and sister Lee in prayer brother Daniel Torrio wants us to pray for his sister Elizabeth today that God would touch her ever need right now let's just all take them before God father Lord my need right now is for you to anoint me with your spirit that God we can break every chain that I could communicate clearly and effectively Lord in this room today god I ask you Lord for hearts to be open for ears to be open I ask you Lord that you would give me the liberty of the Spirit Lord to minister today God we all want a better life God and we can only have that better life through your spirit God touch us today in the name of Jesus Lord move upon all the names that were mentioned God touched them and healed them today all of the shut-ins God I pray for them today all the needs every hand that was lifted Lord we pray over those needs day in the matchless name of Jesus we pray amen amen would you give the Lord a hand to praise as you're being seated come on give him a great hand of praise right now you may be seated a better life a better life and of course I'm in the midst of a series on the baptism of the Holy Ghost and we came to the place of where we throughout the Scriptures showed that when they received a gift of the Holy Ghost they spoke in a heavenly language and that is proven throughout the scripture but as I was almost ready to complete this series and move on to something else it was as if the Holy Ghost begin to tap me on the shoulder and begin to tell me I have given you my spirit not only to prepare you for heaven but I have given you my spirit to cause you to have a better life a better life so I begin to ponder that that God gives us his spirit that we would have a better life and of course that would mean that all of us today that have the baptism of the Spirit ought to be walking billboards of a better life we ought to be walking billboards that we are a part of a better life so I begin just to think about the church a spirit-filled Church and then I came up with some things and share with you that it seems to me by my observation on the subject of people speaking in a god-given language that people fall into one of three categories I begin to ponder yes and think about the church begin to see that we fall into three different categories number one people believe and receive it and then in difficult times of their life they get renewed in the spirit they receive it they believe it they receive it and then only in difficult times they get a refilling of the spirit which a person to believe is you actually pray in that heavenly language because once you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of the heavenly language the next time you operate in that is not a sign that you've received it biblically it is telling you that you are praying in tongues you're praying in tongues the second group of people that I would say would be people who are closed minded to something they cannot understand the purpose there are people that are just absolutely closed-minded on the subject of having an experience with God that would cause you to speak in a language that you don't know and they're closed-minded because they simply do not understand it and then the third group of people would be people who receive the Holy Ghost and understand they have begun their spiritual journey in their new life I'll go ahead and tell you I want to be in category three I sure don't want to be in category two and I don't want to be in category one because I believe God has given us his spirit for more than just a sign that he has taken up residence and more than just something I have in in horrible difficult phases of my life I believe that he came that we might have come on now he came that we might have life and had life more abundantly so he just didn't he didn't just feel me what the holy ghost so that I could say I have it and that if life falls apart I can go back to that same fervency of prayer and be renewed in the Holy Ghost he didn't give me that for that and he sure didn't give me a promise that I don't want I want the baptism of the Holy Ghost but I want to fall in category three people receive the Holy Ghost and understand they have begun their spiritual journey in their new life that they haven't arrived at their spiritual destination they have only begun that spiritual journey it is a new life I came that you might have life jesus said and that you might have that life more more abundantly jesus said if any man thirst let him come unto me and drink he that believeth on me as the scripture has said out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water he said that would be a flow not a pond he said there would be a flow not some stagnant pool of memory he said there would be a flow not some pool that we visit in difficult times he said there will be a continual flow of my spirit coming through you it was in John chapter 16 and in verse number 12 that Jesus said something very interesting to his disciples he said in John 16 and 12 he said I have yet many things to say unto you but you cannot bear them now he said I've got a lot of things I need to tell you but you're not capable of bearing them you're not capable of receiving them but then in verse 13 hallelujah he said howbeit when he the spirit of truth is come he will guide you into all truth for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear that shall he speak and he will show you things to come Jesus even testifies and says there's a lot of things I would like to tell you but you're not capable of bearing them the reason they're not capable of bearing them the Ministry of Jesus worked from the ear to the mind to the heart if they were going to receive spiritual things it had to come through sound waves to their ear their ear had to hear it their mind had to process it in order for it to be in their heart so he said I have things that you're not able to hear now and you're not able to process now and it cannot get into your heart now because it goes that way but there's going to come a day when the Spirit of Truth which is the Holy Ghost is going to come and when the Holy Ghost comes it doesn't come through the ear and the mind in the heart when God gives us the baptism of the Holy Ghost it's a direct injection of your spirit bypasses the ear bypasses the mind and goes immediately to the heart Paul said in Romans and I'll read this verse in a few more moments but Paul said in Romans that God has shed the Holy Ghost in our hearts in our hearts so Jesus was saying I've got a lot of things that need to be said to you ear mind and heart but you can't hear hear it now but when he the Spirit of Truth has come he's going to lead you and he's going to guide you into all the truth I'll show you I show you an example of why this didn't work Luke chapter 24 and verse number 10 Luke 4:20 for in verse 10 it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and other women that were with them which told these things unto who are they telling this to unto the Apostles and their words seemed to them as idle tales and they believed them not what didn't they believe we've seen the Lord he's resurrected he's alive after that crucifixion he's alive after they put him in the tomb the Lord is alive he's alive the women were telling them but the apostles said they're telling some kind of idle tales this is some kind of idle tales are telling and the Bible says they believe not can I tell you that they didn't they did not believe because they'd never been told watch this in matthew 16:21 and by the way please make note of this matthew 16 is that place to where jesus said who do they say that i the son of man am matthew 16 is that chapter where Peter said you are the Christ the Son of the Living God blessed are you simon barjona flesh and blood hath not revealed this you have the keys you have authority but you go about to scriptures later and the Bible says in verse 21 from that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples how that he must go into Jerusalem and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes and be killed and be raised again the third day they didn't believe when Mary Magdalene and Mary and Emin came and said the Lord is alive the Lord is alive and see the societal kills we just don't believe this they had heard it Jesus had plainly told them after he revealed who he was he then took them down this is who I am and want you to notice this this is who I am the Son of the Living God but this is what I'm going to do I'm going to be crucified and on the third day I shall rise again it wasn't that they hadn't heard it it was that it had went here here and it never got here because it was then verse 22 then Peter took him and began to rebuke him saying be it far from the Lord this shall not be unto thee but he turned and said unto Peter get thee behind me Satan thou art an offence unto me for thou savourest not the things that be of God but those things that be of men man that's a that's a that's quite a change in the day one day you're one conversation you're calling me Peter upon this rock I'll build my church and the next thing I know you're turning around calling me the devil you know why because too many of us are just like the Apostles we have no identity we have no problem with the identity of Jesus but we sure do stumble over what he wants to do in our lives we have we have absolutely no trouble knowing that he's God that there's one God we have no trouble believing that we got this glorious Holy Ghost and spoke in a tongue and I know what I got I know what I felt and on and on and all we go we have no trouble with that but we start to fall into trouble when we fail to see that he didn't give you the Holy Ghost is a good luck charm he didn't give you the Holy Ghost is unlucky rabbit's foot or a four-leaf clover or some kind of thing you can add to your long list of experience he gave us the Holy Ghost that you and I might have life and that we might have life more abundantly he they must the Holy Ghost so we would have a better life not just a bunch of dressed up behavior modified sinners he gave us the Holy Ghost so that we could live and lead a better why Romans five and five says and hope maketh not ashamed because the love of God is shared abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost maybe we shouldn't you see this with me today the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost you know you'll never show the love of God if you don't know the love of God turned it's impossible to teach something you don't know and when God gives us the Holy Ghost he gives us this love of God we understand that we're loved of God were the love of God old things have passed away hallelujah old things have passed away and behold all things are new If any man be in Christ he's a new creature so he gives us the Holy Ghost for us to perceive the love of God how that God with love and one way you have mercy with others is to always realize the mercy God has had with you one way to stay compassionate toward others is to continually remind yourself you're not God with a perfect list of attendants we're not the perfect students we've all got flaws and failures that's why he gave us the Holy Ghost he gave us the Holy Ghost to give us power to live a better life I should only difference in me should not be my wardrobe since I got in church the only difference in me should not mean that I've laid down some habits you can watch an infomercial and find something to put behind your ear or something to help you to get victory over your heaven that's not why God gave us the Holy Ghost that's not the only difference in our life he gave us the Holy Ghost so that we can live a better life in all areas of our lives a better life as a person hallelujah I'm just gonna give that I'm gonna give any guess I'm gonna give the guest of pre-warning tonight to this morning I'm about to have what's called a little Holy Ghost fit here because when I begin to think about the Lord and I begin to think about where he brought me from and I begin to think about all that he has done in my life I just have a little issue keeping my composure because he has given me a better life he has given me a better life he put the love of God in my heart I'm no longer trash I'm no longer garbage I'm no longer a mistake I'm no longer some horrible person that can't get it right I have nailed the love of God Oh would you take a praise break with me for a few moments get out of oh so tell y'all hallelujah the love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost Deuteronomy 10 and 12 this is this is how you know the law this is how you know the law was ineffective that's why the law that's why what you need today is not to work on behavior modification you need to work on allowing the Holy Ghost to come in your life because greater is He come on now greater is he that is within me then he that's in the world I don't know whatever problem you got today what you need is don't work on the problem and try to see how many days you can go without blowing your top you don't need to work on the problem and see how many days you can go without lusting or how many days you can go you know we hear all this stuff I'm gonna take it I'm gonna take a negative I'm gonna take a negative talk fast I'm off I'm off fast negative talk truth the matter is you ought to do with Nate y'all to deal with negative talk all the time you don't need to take a fast from it negative talk leads to negative behavior you cannot speak negative without living negative see that's why I chose the tongue because as the tongue goes so goes the body that's why I came down why do you choose the tongue but it's obvious why I chose the tongue because however the tongue goes is how the body goes if you talk negative you'll live negative if you talk to feet you'll think the feet if you always talk about people you'll get the belief that you're the only one right and everybody else is wrong because it's in your mouth so God said I'll tell you what I'm going to do see this is not the first time in and in brother Paul and sister Bridget we studied this yesterday in our Bible class we had here at church but you know it was God's will for Noah in his descendants to go into all the world and repopulate the earth it's God's will that's witness God's will it was God's Word go into all the world and repopulate it Noah because everybody's gone it's just you and your three sons and their wives and just go into all the world and repopulate the world didn't say anything about building cities and building tear up towers but a chapter or two later the Bible says that they got together in a plane a level place called Synar and there they begin to say wait a minute let's build us a city let's build us a tower and let's have us a name and the Bible says that God went down and said they was all working they all had one language one language and had to imagine one thing and God came down and watched them who watch them building who looked at him and then God said they have one language and this they have imagined to do and now nothing will stop him they will build a city right here and so God did a miraculous work God did a miraculous work he went into the three sons of Noah and he confounded their language it was it was it was unknown you could say it was unknown language at the time and it became their language and God separated them he did a miraculous work all of a sudden the man asking for mortar the guy he couldn't understand one another and the guys saying cut that tuba for eight feet long he couldn't understand him because somebody else was saying in another tongue and the Bible says they called the place Babel because they were just babbling around and this group got together they said we understand each other and this group got together and they said we understand three groups got together and they went into the four corners of the earth they went into Europe and Asia into the Middle East that went into all the four corners of the earth but this language God God has work done by the tongue and God begins a new work he does a new work in the New Testament when he said I want you to go into all the world in the Old Testament he said I want you're going to all the world and repopulate it but in the New Testament he said I want you to go into all the world and preach the gospel but before you go into all the world and preach the gospel tarry ye at Jerusalem until you be endued with power from on high and that's when the 120 received the gift of the Holy Ghost and miraculously spoke in a heavenly language and God got his will done by going into the tongue of man and controlling the tongue of man and I want you to know this morning that what we need to understand is we got to allow the Holy Ghost that speaking in tongues is wonderful speaking in tongues is fantastic but God wants you to know that he's real more than just speaking in tongues he wants us to begin to speak the word because the word has pre power he demonstrated that in Genesis 1 in 1 when he stepped out and said and God said let there be light and there was light God looks down upon us today and he says I would that my children would understand if they speak the word that the word has created power Satan the blood of Jesus is against you I am the head and not the tail I am above and not beneath and no weapon formed against me will prosper God wants to give us a better life today if you are willing to speak it out I believe God can help us with our marriage I believe God can help us with our children I believe that God can help us in all areas of our life well that person has done something to me and I will never get over it you're exactly right you will never give over it I've heard more conversations at caskets and tombstones that I care to share with you but am i standing there at that casket hearings people talk to dead people I'm thinking to myself I may have my hands folded nice and politely and I may be smiling but this little brain is thinking you should have had that conversation while they were living you should have said that while you're living you should have said that while they were living you shouldn't be out there talking to a tombstone you should be talking to a real person but you see you're right I'll never get over it unless you ask God to help you god help me I've never the Bible says any man come unto me I will in no wise cast him out if you will ask God for help he will help you he will help you and can I say this God is not only listening to you when you're speaking in a heavenly language he's listening to you when you're speaking English God helped me here was the problem with the law Deuteronomy 10 12 and now Israel what did the Lord thy God require of thee but to fear the Lord thy God to walk in all his ways to love him to serve the LORD thy God with all thine heart with all thy soul to keep the commandments of the Lord his statutes which I command thee this day for thy good see the problem was the law went to the ear the mind and the heart and the law said many things that if the ear heard it the mind never received it you see spiritual growth is beautifully laid out in us in an event that happened in the lives of the Apostles it was in John 21 in verse number 20 Jesus had rose from the dead appeared to the disciples and turns his conversation to Peter maybe as a reminder of maybe as a reminder Peter was so overly confident in himself remember that remember that Peter was so overly confident in himself he said something like Lord these other guys around here will deny you but you look here at me I'll never deny you I'll go to prison with you did he mean it sure he did he's over competent his flesh Peter before the crows in the morning you'll deny knowing me three times and Peter did because he was confident in the wrong thing so now Jesus turns his attention to Peter and he says to Peter turning about verse 20 then Peter turning about see if the disciple whom Jesus loved following which also leaned on his breast at supper and said lo which is he that betrayeth thee and I want you get the scenery now Jesus has just told Peter that you're going to die a death of crucifixion there's coming a time Peter that you're going to stretch out your hands you were once young and can do whatever you wanted but a day is going to come Peter in which you're going to be commanded to stretch out your hands an arrest and you're going to go somewhere you don't want to go this spake he of the way that Peter would die Peter would be a martyr Peter was crucified upside down for the faith that he had in Jesus Christ but Peter hears this he's hearing what's going on what I've got to go through then Peter turning about I read that mere entry verse 21 Peter seeing him and this him is John Peter see seeing him said to Jesus Lord and what shall this man do what is it that sounds about like us today don't it I don't know why I'm going through this and somebody else he just turns it over he just turns Oh John he says well what about him no no no said he noticed this he didn't say it affectionately he didn't say what about my brother John he said what about my dear sweet brother John no he said this man what about this man here what's he gonna do he's got a little I sense a little love a little bitterness at his voice I'm gonna be crucified and what about Oh John it's always right up close to you jesus saith unto Him if I will that he tarry till i come what is that to you follow me good lesson here sometimes we need to get our eye off of what our brother or sister is going through or is not going through and just follow Jesus we need to get our mind too many times we can get tripped up we can either get discouraged or become Pharisees we can take the blessings of God look over somebody that we don't perceive have the blessings of God and we can get too high-minded in ourselves or we can look at somebody that's not going through something we're going through and we can begin to beat ourselves up that God doesn't love us can I preach to us something this morning if you're going to have a better life the only person you can control is yourself if you want to be a control freak control yourself because that's the only person you can truly control if you're a man and you're married you can't control your wife you can leader you may be seated you can leader but you can't control her if you're a wife if you're a woman in this place and you're married you can't control your husband you can pray over him you can pray for him but you can't control him and I've got also news for you all them little sweet kids you can't control them either you can make sure they do this in that in this until they get to a certain age but at a certain age they can turn around and say I'm done with all of this I'm done with everything that you talk don't beat yourself up because the only person you can control is yourself jesus said it get your mind off of John stop wondering what John's going to go through you just need to follow me show you a little paradox here show a little paradox here before I close musicians would you come show you little paradox here somebody said what's a paradox it's a pair of dots okay it's just show you a little thing here how opposite they were tradition and historians tell us that John was a very wealthy man that John was very wealthy there's historians that lived in that time that said John would be the equivalent of millionaire many times over multi-millionaire he was very wealthy archaeologists have found almost mansions that that that John had he was a very wealthy man compared to Peter Peter was very poor he was a minimum wage fisherman all right now look at the paradox here John's very wealthy Peter's minimum wage fisherman Jesus says you're going to die they believed because Jesus made the statement there was a rumor he made the statement what is it if I let John live till I come again what's that to you and there was a rumor went out that John was not going to die so you can't have more of a paradox here then I'm a minimum wage fisherman and a multi-millionaire and the multi-millionaire is believed that's going to live forever and the fisherman is gonna die at any time all right you can't have more of a paradox what do they have in common have nothing in common he's a multi-millionaire and I'm a minimum wage fisherman I'm gonna died I don't know when I'm old I could be any day that guy may live forever but do you know what brings a group of people together when there's great differences in a marriage when there's great differences among us is a body there's nothing like the Holy Ghost you can't tell me there wasn't a little rift there between Peter and John can't tell me - a little rift what would this man do but oh the Bible says in Acts chapter 1 verse number 13 and when they were come in they went up into an upper room were abode both Peter James and John gives the lists of those gathered on the day of Pentecost so you know and that's chapter 2 verse number one when the wind came and the Holy Ghost came oh thank god when the Holy Ghost came in that room that tongues of fire set up on the head of that minimum-wage fisherman that knew that he would die at any time and then ball of fire shut up on the head of that multi-millionaire that it was believed he would live forever and when that minimum-wage fisherman opened his mouth he was filled with the Holy Ghost and when that multi-millionaire opened his mouth he was full filled with the Holy Ghost the 120 now believe I got scripture to prove that that Holy Ghost made a difference because in Acts chapter 2 they got the Holy Ghost and in Acts chapter 3 verse number 1 it says now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer pema not a Oh bread there's something about the Holy Ghost that can cause us to have our differences to say I don't have differences with you anymore I'm still a minimum-wage fisherman and your steal of multi-millionaire but God has given us the Holy Ghost today we are one we have been put together as one would you stay with me right now Oh hallelujah somebody somebody say a better life say it again say it again please a better life I'm gonna play with the scripture for just a moment please give me a little lead way John is still a multi-millionaire according to historians Peters still a minimum wage fisherman then Peter and John went up just didn't say went up said they went up together you can go up somewhere but not be together with somebody but they went up together at the our prayer being the ninth hour seeing their a lame man they'd been carried their lame from his mother's womb crippled paralyzed never walk one step in his life who's seen Peter and John about to go into the temple asking alms of them then Peter spoke up notice this oh it's in there Peter said silver and go notice what he didn't say he didn't say silver and gold have we know because John's got it Oh Holy Ghost help us right now he didn't say simmer and go we have none huh John still a multi-millionaire and I'm still a minimum wage fishermen silver and gold have I none but such as I have give IV in the name of Jesus rise and walk and the Bible said his ankle bones and feet receive strength and he leaped up walking and leaping and praising God what you hear this day some of you have brought some lame situations into this house today some of you got the Holy Ghost years ago but you've been begging arms ever since some of you got the Holy Ghost years ago but you've been begging arms you have a lame situation but God has raised me up this Sunday morning tell you if you'd make your way to this altar right now I believe that God wants to give the church a better life this morning I believe God wants to give
