Summary

Pastor Vlad started a new series called The Secret Place. He talked about Peters life and how we can learn to develop that deep relationship with Holy Spirit that last through thick and thin. 1. Peter focused on his love for Jesus, instead Jesus love for him. (Matthew 26:33-34; 1 John 4:19) When we focus on our love for God instead of his love for us: - We end up living for an approval instead of out of an approval - We make empty promises instead of living in his presence. - We live on emotions instead of devotion. - Our passion lacks compassion. 2. Peter slept when he was supposed to be praying. (Matthew 26:40; Luke 22:31-32; Mark 14:32-34; Hebrews 7:25; Matthew 12:28-30) When our prayer life goes to sleep, our past life wakes up. SLEEPING saints become SLIPPING saints. If we don’t PRAY, we STRAY. Secret place is where Jesus is interceding for you, therefore, enjoy his company, and receive his heart. Secret place is where you RELEASE your hurt and RECEIVE Gods heart. 3. Peter followed Jesus from a distance to preserve his life. (Matthew 26:58; Matthew 16:24-25) If we don’t deny self - we will deny the Savior. It’s easier to sacrifice sin than to sacrifice self. We follow Jesus when it brings success, but when it costs a sacrifice, we play safe by following him at distance. Each day, a staggering 11 Christians are killed for their faith in the top 50 countries ranked on the World Watch List according to Open Doors USA report. 4. Peter warmed himself at wrong bond fire (Mark 14:54; John 18:18; 1 John 2:15) World’s fire is: - Attractive - Addictive - Annihilating 5. Peter went back to his old life and found it empty. (John 21:3; 2 Corinthians 7:10; John 21:9) Remorse makes things worse. Don’t try to make things right without getting right with Jesus. Enemy’s Fire Build by the enemy Jesus at trial Denied Jesus 3 times Left in regret vs Holy Fire Build by Jesus Jesus triumphed Affirmed love for Jesus 3 times Left restored Stay connected with Pastor Vlad Instagram http://www.instagram.com/vladhungrygen Facebook http://www.facebook.com/vladhungrygen Twitter http://www.twitter.com/vladhungrygen Subscribe to his blog: http://www.hungrygen.com/blog Invite Pastor Vlad to speak http://www.hungrygen.com/invite

0:00.0	You're listening to Hungry Gen audio podcast.
0:06.2	And I want to talk about a relationship with Jesus.
0:09.4	It's my favorite topic, and I believe it's the most important thing in our Christian walk with God.
0:15.3	Most of the people that come and get saved in their church are not people who are new to faith.
0:22.4	There are people who have lost their faith. People who have become, we call them post-Christians. Even our country has
0:27.6	become post-Christian. A lot of people went to church as children. They went to youth group as teenagers,
0:33.1	and then they went to college. And then, you know, things happen in life.
0:38.9	Challenges that happen.
0:41.8	I corrected my good, wonderful leader, Eric,
0:46.7	because there's a misconception that happens is that if you really know God,
0:48.2	you will have no problems.
0:52.5	And I know Eric said that in the feet of the passion, but that's false. I've said it myself and that's wrong because Jesus says in
0:59.5	this world you will have tribulation. No matter how cool actually some Jesus had troubles and he was
1:05.1	in the center of God's will and sometimes we prepare people for a fantasy life that doesn't exist
1:10.3	and we babysit Christians instead of raising an army and teaching them. And sometimes we prepare people for a fantasy life that doesn't exist.
1:16.6	And we babysit Christians instead of raising an army and teaching them to depend not on a pastor's revelation or pastors flame, but their own flame, their own relationship with God.
1:21.1	It's important to have prophets, but we need to learn the voice of God.
1:25.4	It's important to have pastors, but we need to have a devotional life. It's important to have pastors but we need to have a
1:27.7	devotional life. It's important to go through a prayer line but every person has
1:32.3	to have a prayer life. And so that's what we wanted to encourage each one of us.
1:36.8	Jesus says in this world you will have tribulations but be of good cheer. I have
