Strengthen Your Communication With God | Tony Evans Sermon

you have the mind of Christ the capacity

to think God’s thoughts after him they

will always be true with his word but

they will be applied in your life so

what God does is he shares his thoughts

with you he brings his thoughts into

your

thinking

on my roof there’s a

satellite satellite dish is on my

roof that satellite dish on my roof

receives a

signal from a satellite up there in the

ionosphere that I do not

see but it sends an invisible signal to

the dish on my roof that’s picked up by

the

receiver in my house

what is taken from my

roof from the

satellite in

space that’s communicated to my

receiver allows me to see a

picture on the

screen of my

TV a signal from up there is

grabbed on my roof Pro translated to my

receiver so I can see

clearly what an invisible wave has to

say when a

person accepts

Christ God

installs a

receiver a capacity to pick up signal

from up there you don’t see up there but

it’s a

frequency this

frequency is translated into your house

your

body and picked up on by a

receiver the

satellite in your life is your

soul your soul is the satellite to pick

up the signal from what you can’t

see to the house that your soul lives in

where your satellite dish is

located connected to the satellite dish

of the soul is a

receiver your

spirit your spirit

receiver Translate

relates to your

soul a picture if you will of the

frequency from

heaven so that you can live it out in

history because we do

not either understand it or operate by

it we have re receivers that are

regularly turned

off now if you’re a Believer you have

one but if a receiver is turned off you

don’t get a picture even though you have

the capacity to get a picture every

believer has been given the capacity of

the Holy Spirit to speak to the human

Spirit to talk to the soul so you can

see spiritual

reality but because we do not operate

that way

consistently we’re often looking at a

blank TV

screen we’re not getting a

picture Paul talks about this in

detail in 1 Corinthians chapter 2 where

he informs us about the frequency of

Heaven he says in verse 9 for just as it

is written things which eye hath not

seen ear hath not heard and which has

not entered into the heart of man all

that God has prepared for those who love

him now first when you hear that you

might think he’s talking about heaven

but look at verse 10 for to us God

revealed them through the

spirit so he’s talking about something

that God has revealed not something that

is awaiting Us in the Sweet By and

By he’s talking about The Illuminating

work of the

spirit to give us the frequency of

Heaven the invisible wave from up there

what God has

revealed through his

spirit that allows the receiver to

translate it to your life we’ll tell you

how as we go

along he says for the spirit verse 10

searches out all things even the Deep

things of God

God’s spirit the third member of the

Trinity has access to God’s

database verse

11 who for who among men knows the

thoughts of a man except the spirit of

the man which is in him even so the

thoughts of God no one knows except the

spirit of God he says the spirit knows

the Deep deep things of God because the

spirit is the third member of the

Trinity he is God and so he knows the

Deep things of God and of course God has

all knowledge about all things because

he’s he is

omniscient full

knowledge and the spirit knows

that so since the spirit knows all that

God knows

then to get correct information from God

you have to be in touch with the spirit

cuz he’s got the

information let’s

continue now we have received talking

about Christians Believers not the

spirit of the world this is very

important stay with me here but the

spirit who is from

God so that we may know the things

freely given to us by God I need to read

that verse again for we have received

every Christian has received the

receiver not the spirit of the

world but the spirit who cuz he’s a

person who is from God so that we may

know the things freely given to us

by

God

that verse is

pregnant if you want to

know the things that God has to

say you cannot be operating from the

spirit of the world amen amen you see

says we’ve not been given the spirit of

the world that’s not what God gave us he

gave us the spirit that is from

God and the beautiful thing about it is

he says it’s

free well when we learn when you and I

learn increasingly progressively

ongoingly to operate by means of the

spirit things get clearer this is called

illumination John says this in St John

Chapter

14 verse

17 that is the spirit of

Truth whom the world cannot

receive because it does not see him or

know him but you know him because he

abides with you and will be in

you he

says the world came can’t get this

information so if you’re not operating

with the receiver that God has placed in

you you don’t get the information either

because you’re not operating on this

receiver which he calls the spirit of

Truth similar to what he’s saying

here our goal today is to increase turn

up the dimmer switch our ability to pick

up the

frequency of

heaven and so he says you have the

spirit you have receiver you

received he goes deeper verse

13 which things we also

speak not in words taught by human

wisdom watch it but in those taught by

the spirit

comparing spiritual thoughts with

spiritual

words he

says you cannot get this data this

information this

signal by human wisdom meaning man’s

thinking independently of God human

wisdom is the perspective of man in

dependently of God

you the receiver won’t work the the new

receiver won’t work won’t come on

because it’s not given to human wisdom

so the moment you bring man’s Viewpoint

into the

discussion that is contrary to God’s

Viewpoint your receiver shuts off you

you don’t cancel its existence cuz the

spirit of God is in you but it shuts

down

one of the reasons why we don’t pick up

the signal is it has to keep shutting

down every

day because we appeal to human

wisdom we go to man’s thinking in the

penalty of God and we do this on every

subject known to man we do this on Race

we do this on gender we do this on

knowledge we do this on education we do

you pick the subject we do this on

relationships we we quickly go to man’s

Wisdom human thought he says once you do

that once you do that you have placed

yourself in

antithesis to God’s

perspective he says the way it works is

you compare spiritual thoughts with

spiritual words meaning you must bring

your thinking in line with God’s

thinking spiritual words God what God

has to say about

it God has installed in you and me new

software and that software is designed

to run on his

receiver and only his

receiver and whenever information is

brought over to that receiver that is

not consistent with God it

is booted it is rejected it is denied

the wavelength shuts

off and you cannot

receive because that’s not what he gave

you in fact it’s worse than that verse

14 but a natural man or

woman does not accept the things of the

spirit of

God for they are foolishness to

him and he cannot understand

them because they are

spiritually

appraised when you and I were born we

were born with with a

defect called the sin

nature it’s like a mirror that’s been

cracked and

distorted every person born is born with

a

cracked Soul because they’re born with a

dead

Spirit when a person is converted that

that’s the natural thing cuz it’s

natural to every person

born when a person accepts Christ they

are

converted so that the spirit the

receiver comes

alive in order to

communicate to the cracked Soul CU

everybody’s born with a cracked

soul but this new receiver can send data

to the crack

soul but the natural man does not have

this

receiver so the natural man operates

with a cracked soul that doesn’t pick up

a Divine

wavelength you can’t pick it up it says

it cannot he cannot understand

it now the problem

is that a Christian can function

naturally that’s why chapter 3 verse

verses 1 to three calls them carnal or

fleshly Christians he says the natural

man

cannot receive the things from the

spirit of God verses 15 and

16 but he who is

spiritual not

natural not carnal chapter three he says

I Brethren could not speak to you as to

spiritual men Brethren you’re Christian

but I can’t talk to you like you’re

spiritual but as to Men of Flesh carnal

as to infants and Christ I wish I could

give you this spiritual stuff but y’all

are Christians with your receiver off

did you know you could be in church with

your receiver

off because you’re still functioning

naturally he says but you who are

spiritual who is a spiritual Christian a

spiritual Christian is a man or woman

who consistently operates from a Divine

frame of reference let me say that again

a spiritual

Christian or a spiritual person is a

Christian who consistently operates from

a Divine frame of reference in other

words they want to know God’s

perspective up front as a normal way of

operating now we don’t do it perfectly

in our it and our limitations but the

idea is to do it

progressively he says you who are

spiritual who consistently

operate with the receiver God’s

framework in

mind he says

appraises all

things he

says the spiritual

man has the ability

to see deeper than the external like a

doctor using an x-ray

machine and then he says all things in

other words there is no category that’s

exempt from the appraising work of the

Holy Spirit why because he’s got a

Google search to the whole nature of God

Amen in other words you can’t inform him

he’s

uneducable since God is

uneducable he gives information he

doesn’t receive it

amen so he says the spirit appraises all

things there is no category except but

that’s not all he says he goes on to

say yet he the spiritual person is appr

praise by no one

hello he says the spiritual man

understands all things but folk don’t

understand

him non-spiritual folk can’t figure out

spiritual

folk and the reason why is y’all not

listening to the same

station one group is on am and another

group is on FM and those are two

different

frequencies

he says but the spiritual

man he’s not a praised he’s not fully

understood by the natural man or the

carnal Christian who is functioning as a

natural

person and then he brings it all home in

verse

16 for who has

known the mind of the

Lord that he may instruct him okay that

goes back to Isaiah 4013 who has known

the mind of the

Lord that he may instruct

him the answer obviously is well nobody

can teach God

anything and here it is here it

is but we Christians who are spiritual

well even if you’re not spiritual it’s

true you may not be using it we have the

mind of

Christ he he brings it all home

here every Christian

possesses the mind of Christ like every

human being has a

brain okay let me say that again every

human being has a brain

every Christian has the mind of

Christ what does the brain do send

signals to the body about how it should

operate the brain tells the hand to move

the leg to move the mouth to speak when

there is a stroke when there is an

infirmity of the

brain the data the frequency is not

given to the body at a level that the

body can respond to it there has been a

breakdown in

transmission you have every

Christian the mind of Christ it’s been

planted in you what the brain is to the

body follow me the mind is to the

soul it dispenses

data

frequencies so that the life gets

information from

Heaven into the satellite of the soul

from the receiver of the spirit which

you have receive which is the mind of

Christ is that you now begin to look at

life as Christ would look at it so you

literally begin to think God’s thoughts

after him now why is this

important because where you pick up the

signal is in the mind in the mind I

don’t just mean the brain the mind is

the information center of the Soul like

the brain is the information center of

the body so what God does is he shares

his thoughts with

you he brings his thoughts into your

thinking so that you begin to think as

he’s thinking because the two of you are

thinking alike at the same

time because you’re on the same

wavelength with the

receiver but the moment you start am and

FM in

is jumping

frequencies you’re shutting it

down and the system is not continually

working you have the mind of Christ the

capacity to think God’s thoughts after

him they will always

be true with his word but they will be

applied in your

life you have the mind of Christ there

is a

frequency from

Heaven that informs your

thinking and he says when it informs

your thinking back to verse 9 you will

will see things that eye cannot

see he says you will hear things that

ear cannot

hear and you will perceive things that

have not entered into the heart of man

in other words things you wouldn’t

naturally have come up with

amen so this is not talking about

physical cuz you’re seeing things I

can’t see you’re hearing things ear

can’t hear and you’re perceiving things

that your Humanity can’t perceive he

means he’s giving you a frequency from

another Realm

that goes beyond the physical but enters

the

mind the Bible calls it the renewing of

the mind you begin to think God’s

thoughts after

him as you apply national news based on

his word to your local situation God I’m

in touch with your spirit I need you to

appraise

this the spirit of God does all that cuz

guess what it deals with all things

because Paul says then I will know like

I am now known he says I now look at

life through a glass Darkly but on that

day I will know as I am known so there

will come a time when you won’t have to

wonder you won’t have to search you

won’t have to deal with invisible

wavelength because then face to face you

will see them but in the mean time you

got a receiver that’s been paid for by

the blood of Jesus Christ so why don’t

you keep it on and use it so that you

can get all the benefits of high level

communication with almighty

[Music]

God as I drove around the Rocky

mountains I would often lose signal

signal from the radio signal from the

phone because I was cut off from being

able to

communicate with the towers that would

provide me the ability to hear to text

to

talk as we live our lives on Earth we

can get separated from the frequency of

heaven and not get the sounds from above

to guide us in our Earthly Journey here

below but the frequency of Heaven is

designed to be picked up by God’s people

because it’s located by something God

has placed inside of you to pick up the

glory of God through the work of the

spirit in the soul of man so that you

can actually hear Heaven speak as you

live your life on Earth let’s find out

what that frequency sounds like and how

to stay in touch with it
