=== The Spirit of Babylon (03:08) ===

[00:00:00]  I think what we're seeing, and my wife doesn't like it when I say this, but it's like this putrid stench in the nostrils of a holy God.
[00:00:09]  It really is.
[00:00:10]  And the world is drunk with the spirit of what I call mystery Babylon, Babylon.
[00:00:17]  And Paul referred to it a minute ago.
[00:00:20]  But Mystery Babylon is really a way of thinking.
[00:00:24]  So when you're intoxicated, you think you can do anything.
[00:00:29]  That's right.
[00:00:29]  And that's what we saw the other day.
[00:00:32]  There is nothing as sad as watching a drunkard make a fool of themselves.
[00:00:37]  True.
[00:00:37]  And this is what we saw.
[00:00:39]  So we see, and Paul referred to it in Genesis 10 and 11, when Nimrod literally defies God with this same rebellious spirit of Babylon.
[00:00:50]  We're seeing this spirit of Babylon rising up again.
[00:00:54]  And so there's a Hebrew word called kodesh.
[00:00:57]  It means holy.
[00:00:59]  It means set apart.
[00:01:01]  And so this reminds me of Daniel, who was with his three young Hebrew men, and they set themselves apart.
[00:01:09]  You know, there was 120 that went in, but there was only those four that set themselves apart.
[00:01:15]  And they were what I call the righteous remnant.
[00:01:19]  They didn't drink the wine of the harlot Babylon.
[00:01:22]  They didn't get drunk with that thing.
[00:01:24]  They stood apart.
[00:01:26]  And this is what we're called to be now.
[00:01:28]  We're called to be light in the darkness.
[00:01:31]  And what we're seeing is this spirit of Babylon.
[00:01:35]  Today, they say that you have to have social justice.
[00:01:38]  We have to be inclusive, coexist, have no boundaries, no walls, no borders.
[00:01:44]  And in our political correctness, let's erase the boundaries of sex and marriage and do whatever we like.
[00:01:52]  Paul referred to that.
[00:01:53]  Kevin, don't the church need the gifts of the Spirit?
[00:01:57]  Because there's not much discernment out there.
[00:02:00]  It's like Exodus 32.
[00:02:02]  We're seeing the Aarons with the golden calves everywhere.
[00:02:06]  And so this is, we're talking about people that in Aaron's day when Moses was coming down, he actually saw the people dancing in a naked delirium around this golden calf.
[00:02:18]  And he said, what are you doing?
[00:02:20]  And Aaron said, who was the high priest?
[00:02:22]  He said, well, I just threw the gold in and out came this calf.
[00:02:28]  Well, and this is the compromise that we see inside the church today.
[00:02:33]  We have Aarons who Ezekiel said, man of God, I gave you a word to preach.
[00:02:39]  And if these people die in their sin and iniquity, the blood is on your hands.
[00:02:44]  And so to preach the word of God like you're doing with your messages, Jim, is so crucial in this hour because we have a responsibility as people of God to speak the pure word.

=== Through the Tomb First (00:23) ===

[00:02:57]  It's not just, oh, let's come to the cross.
[00:03:01]  It's go through the cross, lay on it, be nailed to it, because you can't, there's no such thing as a painless Pentecost.
[00:03:08]  You can't have an upper room experience until you've gone through the tomb first to be risen in the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit.
[00:03:15]  That's right.
[00:03:16]  You have to have God.
