John miller thurs 4-6- 17
Do u want His will to be done
Joy of the lord, lifes not worth it without the joy of the Lord
John Miller Sat 4/8/17 – Don’t be tied to forms just
priciples
Pappi use to ride Harley
Ca no longer in drought as of 4/7/17
No need to be complacent
We should always be digging old wells and new wells
We should be seeking new sources of water
You cannot dig a well when it is raining
Times of refreshing when it rains we enjoy, rain is only a
season
We enjoy waters from heaven when they come, but that’s not
the source
Time of Refeshing,
What creates times of refreshing, is repentencce
Repent thy therefeore times of refreshing may happen
Clensing of hearts for Gods visitation
God has not intended for living in times of refreshing
Thank God he only comes once a year
The time between those times of refreshing when you grow
It’s these times when YOU have to seek, but it’s not easy
b/c it’s diff b/c it’s dry
Priciple: That’s the
time to dig a well!
The 1st 2 feet of may be really hard, but keep on
insisting, maybe even fast and pray through opposition,
But assure you water will always be there, he doesn’t hide,
if you seek me you will find me
Does not come 1st hr
Application: The first
little devil that comes along is sleepiness
We are in a very special time in history, a time of change,
we must define what is our part, where we are located
-We are definitely in a time of change,
-are we even in a change of dispensation?
-we are now living in the dispensation of the gentiles, and
there will be an end of time of gentiles according to Jesus

It was the time of the arabs
There will be a rise of the muslim nations
What dispensation do we belong to, we are not gentiles we
are notjews, we are the church, whatever dispensation we are part of it, the
church will always be relaveant, before the church was in the dessert
Now the church are part of the gentiles that have been
grafted according to paul
-the roots that go way back,
30yrs later Jesus revealed himself
Easter is an ancient is a celebration of Egyptian God
isis(she had a son that revived)rabbit and eggs has to do w/ elebration of isis
Easter was a pagan celebration
When Jesus came and revealed himself on the cross
When the curtain was sowed up on the temple, it was a sign
of the old and new comebine together
Old and new , there won’t be1 stone in this temple that you
enjoy
It was a symbol of the peak of their glory, Jesus said
though not a stone left
Old and the new together, old and new generation together,
might seem the same but it’s not , new generation has a diff future than the
old generation, some in old generation will cont. and some will join the new
generation
Old generation becomes contaimated by forms
Forms destroy the freshness of the spirit, it quenches
And we try to make God form into our doctrine church etc
God starts a new little fire, at 1st old
generation is happy but they think old generation joins new gen, but that’s not
gonna happen, the old will die, the forms will be unbearable, but new
generation is going to be new according
the same
Priciples will always be the same, peace offerings(praise
worship,)burnt offering(consecration, surrender), THESE WILL NOT STOP, 12
pillers, priciples, commandments, the new church has decided several decades
ago in order to expedite growth, they must kill God, so they laid aside old
testament
Newer church has even killed Jesus, and NOW following Paul
John Miller, asks WHY to mega churches leaders, throw out
old testament and they answer church old testament
Mega churches: The church starts where Jesus dies, so we don’t
need to follow, we follow poly epistles, and they don’t like that part, as soon
as we start talking about God’s priciples, people don’t like it, they prfer
free, easy, growth, but priciples will always priciples
God priciples are not dead he’s still alive, he still hates
sin, Jesus died and reconciled to God but that doesn’t change that he hates
sin, if you insist on living in sin, you will pay for it. God’s law continues
working,
New does not anul the old, Jesus said I have not come to
throw away the law I come to confirm it, we don’t need to offer sacrifices, so
we don’t need to splatter blood on carpet every week
-doesn’t change blood pays for sins
Priciples still same, love lord w/ all your heart, no idols,
Buddha or money!
-old begins to fade and new comes in , forms change, and
always change throughout church history,(dancing to silence)
Westley –every visitation of God produces a new form, when
we keep going back then
Old pentacostal- when the spirit came people use to tremble
and old school people still do it,
Life in Christ is not a form, it’s continuing renewing!
John Miller been to 12 visitation to God, Pappi was present
in many of them
-Pappi prayer, God keep them flexible, 1950 singing hymns,
to “heresy”(, NOT) of singing praise, brings out his accordion
-times we are sitting on pews now standing on top of the
pews,
-2 yrs later a lot of churches dancing,
-they discovered warfare, we MUST Be renewed, be flexible
-Don’t be Tied to forms
-You can’t put the spirit in a barrier, the spirit Goes
where it wants
Back at a time the old existed with the new
3 decades after the cross, the old ended, temple destroyed
Millions of jews grabbed to the old temple, many
killed, or taken to captivity by titus
of Rome
-Not one single Christian died though when a million Jews
did,
Jesus said when your up in the mountain and see armies surrounding Jerusalem, don’t
dare go back to pick up your things
yr 60- no temple, house left, 30 yr before, when price of
houses way up in the bubble, holy spirit began to tell people sell your house
-price of house wortheless once army surrounds, when God
tells you to sell your house now ,
People though they were crazy,
-Jesus told them after I die, go to jerruselem and start
praying, and until your indued w/power up high, and stay a while and preach in
jerusalam, but don’t stay in jerusleme and GET out, then go samaria, Judea,
-He said it very clearly , so some disciples were still Jews
and saw the forms
-Paul warns disciples, God is moving out here with the
gentiles, peter said you’re crazy, we don’t eat pork
-so God had to show a vision to peter, what I call clean it’s
CLEAN, go to cornelias house, but he’s a gentile, I can’t step foot in his house,
so he became more flexible
-and he’d go visit Paul at church, and once in a while he’d
go to eat pork with Paul, maybe started liking
-Paul talked very hard to Peter, rebuked him, so eventually
Peter didn’t realized it, and they reached and agreement, and agreement Paul
will accept it, but under condition, can’t eat anything made with blood
-the only thing in old testament that we have in the new
testament
-they insisted on staying in Jerusalem, and suddenly famine
came in Jerusalem, and famine
-Paul started taking offering, heathen church sustaining the
Jerusalem church
-but Jerusalem church was stubborn, b/c that’s the “1st
church”
-then persecution came,
-even leaders are hardest thing to acknowledge change,
throughout history, 1st form church, persecutes the new form, that’s
why we must be flexible
-1st commandment is “hear” o Israel , as u begin
to hear u will love
Obedience is result of love
This is beyond feeling much deeper than that
4/9/17-
Num 13:moses decided to scout the land, v2 –send a man, v17,
good land v 18- see the land they dwell in is good or bad,

-Life’s obstacle, you can either see it as Giants or
obstacles
-you must make a decision, how are you going to confrton
life,
Life is gonna come at you and come at you hard, you will
have problems
-you decide you are gonna wither, or believe Jesus conquered
and able to defeat every Giant
-It says caleb prayed for the 10 spys
-they gathered pomegranates and figs- do you see problems or
opportunities
-Priciple: do you believe
Jesus conquered Sin or just a myth at church, how you answer this question will
be see whether you are victorious or stumble and fall
-if you are washed by the blood of the lamb, they have
absolutely no power of you
-if you are walking outside of the blood, you are in trouble
-the mouse that roared- book : I’m gonna kill you “united
states”
- you are defenseless if you don’t have Jesus
-Romans 8:- what then shall we say, if God for us, who can
be against us
The only thing you have to fear, is to be afraid, fear
itself
-if you look to Jesus, you are more than conquerors, turn every
retreat to and advance
-with God all things are possible
-as you live through this week, meditate, on this!
Joshua 15- tells us the story of caleb, he drove em out and
kill those 3, and caleb made announcement, you can give you might Achsah
-he went up against a city
-it’s amazing when you have the power of Jesus Christ
-Joshua became a judge, a nobody to somebody if you have
Jesus
