  • How many people claim to get saved?
  • 00:00:01.254 --> 00:00:03.990
  • But their cravings never change.
  • 00:00:03.990 --> 00:00:06.426
  • You can scroll on your phone
  • 00:00:06.426 --> 00:00:08.194
  • For four hours, but you can't spend four minutes in prayer.
  • 00:00:08.194 --> 00:00:12.198
  • Something's gotta change because you say, if it was about me,
  • 00:00:13.366 --> 00:00:15.735
  • I would keep scrolling.
  • 00:00:15.735 --> 00:00:17.137
  • But it's about this density.
  • 00:00:17.137 --> 00:00:18.905
  • So let me destroy.
  • 00:00:18.905 --> 00:00:20.573
  • Oh, come on, somebody.
  • 00:00:20.573 --> 00:00:28.515
  • Oh, oh.
  • 00:00:28.748 --> 00:00:33.620
  • So if you're taking notes, our first scripture, it's a familiar one.
  • 00:00:34.988 --> 00:00:37.023
  • But we're going to be looking at a passage outside of the book of leviticus,
  • 00:00:37.023 --> 00:00:40.560
  • Which is psalm chapter 23, verse five.
  • 00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.830
  • Psalm chapter 23, verse five says, you prepare.
  • 00:00:44.764 --> 00:00:47.734
  • Somebody say with me, you prepare.
  • 00:00:47.734 --> 00:00:50.203
  • So we're talking to god.
  • 00:00:50.203 --> 00:00:51.538
  • God, you you do this.
  • 00:00:51.538 --> 00:00:53.306
  • This is your choice. this is not my choice.
  • 00:00:53.306 --> 00:00:55.975
  • You prepare a table before me
  • 00:00:55.975 --> 00:00:59.779
  • In the presence of my enemies.
  • 00:01:00.413 --> 00:01:03.116
  • You annoy my head with oil and my cup runs over.
  • 00:01:04.084 --> 00:01:06.719
  • So let's just stop for a second.
  • 00:01:07.353 --> 00:01:09.255
  • When god makes a dinner party,
  • 00:01:09.255 --> 00:01:11.991
  • The people that he invites are the people you wouldn't invite.
  • 00:01:11.991 --> 00:01:15.462
  • When god sets a table up for you.
  • 00:01:16.196 --> 00:01:19.499
  • He sets a table up and invites the people that you would not invite
  • 00:01:20.800 --> 00:01:23.169
  • Because the people that you want an invite
  • 00:01:24.037 --> 00:01:26.106
  • Are the curriculum to make you who he's called you to be.
  • 00:01:26.106 --> 00:01:30.009
  • Let me let me tell you this.
  • 00:01:30.610 --> 00:01:32.378
  • When god wants to mold you, he brings two people into your life.
  • 00:01:32.378 --> 00:01:35.548
  • One's name is pain and the other one is suffering.
  • 00:01:36.549 --> 00:01:39.419
  • So when
  • 00:01:39.652 --> 00:01:41.454
  • When a table is being set, the table is set before your enemies.
  • 00:01:41.454 --> 00:01:45.525
  • He invites the people to the table that you would invite.
  • 00:01:46.659 --> 00:01:48.795
  • That's why you can't go and just have church at home.
  • 00:01:49.863 --> 00:01:52.899
  • Because when you have your oh,
  • 00:01:53.533 --> 00:01:55.635
  • And when you have church at home, you will invite who you want to invite.
  • 00:01:55.635 --> 00:02:00.907
  • But when you come to one of our five locations, soon to be six,
  • 00:02:02.108 --> 00:02:05.578
  • You have to learn how to be surrounded by people you didn't invite,
  • 00:02:06.980 --> 00:02:09.349
  • Because those are the people that mold you into what you need
  • 00:02:10.517 --> 00:02:12.118
  • To be through christ.
  • 00:02:12.118 --> 00:02:15.388
  • Come on, people talking about we're a called,
  • 00:02:16.322 --> 00:02:17.757
  • But they're sitting at home in their own little call
  • 00:02:17.757 --> 00:02:19.792
  • Because at least in our world, we're subjecting ourselves to many ideas,
  • 00:02:19.792 --> 00:02:23.496
  • Many opinions, many races, many ages, male and female.
  • 00:02:23.496 --> 00:02:28.101
  • I mean, the real calls, what you're doing at home because you're the pastor,
  • 00:02:29.602 --> 00:02:31.538
  • You're the ceo, cfo, you're the elder, you're everybody.
  • 00:02:31.538 --> 00:02:35.208
  • At least here we got some accountability to other voices.
  • 00:02:35.208 --> 00:02:39.145
  • And that's the health of the local church, is you sitting at a table
  • 00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:42.115
  • With people you didn't invite, but god invited.
  • 00:02:42.115 --> 00:02:45.418
  • Does this make sense?
  • 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:47.754
  • Because i've been asking god to remove my enemies and he's increasing them.
  • 00:02:47.754 --> 00:02:55.728
  • I mean, even
  • 00:02:56.062 --> 00:02:57.797
  • By virtue of the way you celebrate reveals what you believe.
  • 00:02:57.797 --> 00:03:01.401
  • How? let me roll it back for the.
  • 00:03:02.068 --> 00:03:03.603
  • For those of you who are trying to get these notes down.
  • 00:03:03.603 --> 00:03:05.939
  • How you celebrate reveals what you believe.
  • 00:03:05.939 --> 00:03:09.542
  • How you celebrate reveals what you believe.
  • 00:03:10.476 --> 00:03:13.546
  • When i train pastors all across america
  • 00:03:14.380 --> 00:03:17.383
  • That they need to get the dream team together early in the morning,
  • 00:03:18.751 --> 00:03:20.720
  • And they need to all come together and celebrate.
  • 00:03:21.721 --> 00:03:23.289
  • They were like, well, why? nothing happened yet.
  • 00:03:23.289 --> 00:03:25.291
  • Service didn't have happened yet.
  • 00:03:25.291 --> 00:03:26.859
  • I said, faith celebrates before it happens.
  • 00:03:26.859 --> 00:03:29.762
  • And so if your church is only celebrating after it happens,
  • 00:03:29.762 --> 00:03:32.732
  • Your church is not operating in faith or operating and works.
  • 00:03:32.732 --> 00:03:40.373
  • Y'all, y'all
  • 00:03:40.707 --> 00:03:43.109
  • Start celebrating like your husband is saved,
  • 00:03:43.109 --> 00:03:46.679
  • Sanctified, filled with the holy spirit anointed by god.
  • 00:03:46.679 --> 00:03:50.216
  • Start celebrating like your prodigal son has already come home.
  • 00:03:51.517 --> 00:03:54.454
  • Start celebrating like you already got the raise and the promotion at the job.
  • 00:03:55.955 --> 00:03:59.058
  • Start celebrating before it happens.
  • 00:03:59.826 --> 00:04:01.694
  • All right, i'll go there in a little bit.
  • 00:04:01.694 --> 00:04:03.062
  • Just hold that, hold that.
  • 00:04:03.062 --> 00:04:04.597
  • Okay, here's the thing. let's.
  • 00:04:04.597 --> 00:04:07.700
  • If you want to put this down, we're going to go back to leviticus in a moment.
  • 00:04:09.235 --> 00:04:11.437
  • But here's an application.
  • 00:04:11.437 --> 00:04:14.073
  • I'm going to make it as simple as possible because living this theologians
  • 00:04:14.073 --> 00:04:18.111
  • Don't live this.
  • 00:04:18.478 --> 00:04:19.545
  • Famous youtubers don't live this.
  • 00:04:19.545 --> 00:04:21.714
  • Pastors don't live this.
  • 00:04:21.714 --> 00:04:23.516
  • It's so simple.
  • 00:04:23.516 --> 00:04:24.684
  • It's hard,
  • 00:04:24.684 --> 00:04:27.353
  • Which is most of the things of god.
  • 00:04:27.353 --> 00:04:29.789
  • And the deeper you go into the things of god, the more simple you become.
  • 00:04:29.789 --> 00:04:33.159
  • Not the more complex you become.
  • 00:04:33.159 --> 00:04:35.595
  • The deeper you go in the things of god.
  • 00:04:35.595 --> 00:04:37.363
  • It's not just the greek, hebrew, and aramaic, it's prayer, fasting,
  • 00:04:37.363 --> 00:04:40.933
  • And holiness.
  • 00:04:40.933 --> 00:04:43.069
  • The deep things of god are simple things that are hard.
  • 00:04:43.069 --> 00:04:47.373
  • It's hard to pray every day, but it's simple.
  • 00:04:48.274 --> 00:04:50.276
  • It's hard to read your bible more than you scroll on your phone, but it's simple.
  • 00:04:50.276 --> 00:04:54.247
  • It's hard to forgive your enemies, but as simple, it's
  • 00:04:55.315 --> 00:04:57.116
  • Hard to constantly show up to the local church and serve.
  • 00:04:57.116 --> 00:05:00.086
  • But it's simple.
  • 00:05:00.086 --> 00:05:01.354
  • And this is what god wants to mature us in.
  • 00:05:01.354 --> 00:05:03.589
  • Because what's happened is we've matured in the things that we think are hard
  • 00:05:03.589 --> 00:05:07.393
  • Intellectually, but those things have not benefited us.
  • 00:05:07.393 --> 00:05:11.064
  • We need to mature in the simple things.
  • 00:05:11.898 --> 00:05:13.800
  • The things of discipline, the things of spiritual formation,
  • 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:17.570
  • The things of maturity in the faith.
  • 00:05:18.371 --> 00:05:19.772
  • And so this is what i'm trying
  • 00:05:19.772 --> 00:05:21.641
  • To take our church on this journey, and we're going to go there together.
  • 00:05:21.641 --> 00:05:24.744
  • I remember that my wife used to teach our kids this song,
  • 00:05:25.878 --> 00:05:27.747
  • Read the bible, pray every day, and you
  • 00:05:27.747 --> 00:05:30.683
  • Grow, you grow, you grow up.
  • 00:05:30.683 --> 00:05:33.619
  • Jesus prayed every day.
  • 00:05:33.619 --> 00:05:35.388
  • Most pastors don't.
  • 00:05:35.388 --> 00:05:37.423
  • Jesus.
  • 00:05:37.423 --> 00:05:39.225
  • I'm telling you, we got to go back because the basics are basic.
  • 00:05:39.225 --> 00:05:41.961
  • They're simple, but they're very hard.
  • 00:05:41.961 --> 00:05:44.497
  • Very hard.
  • 00:05:44.497 --> 00:05:46.232
  • I remember
  • 00:05:46.532 --> 00:05:47.967
  • Making the commitment when i became a lead pastor,
  • 00:05:47.967 --> 00:05:50.670
  • That i would never become the pastor, that only reads my bible to make sermons
  • 00:05:52.238 --> 00:05:55.875
  • Because i i'm friends with many pastors
  • 00:05:56.743 --> 00:05:59.345
  • At the only time they read the bible is for you, but not for them.
  • 00:05:59.345 --> 00:06:03.182
  • And i think that the power that comes through in the preaching from
  • 00:06:04.517 --> 00:06:07.053
  • This pulpit is i let the word do it to me
  • 00:06:07.053 --> 00:06:10.089
  • First, and then handed down the line.
  • 00:06:10.089 --> 00:06:13.459
  • And so what i want for you as your pastor across
  • 00:06:14.460 --> 00:06:16.462
  • Every location, i want this for you on long island.
  • 00:06:16.462 --> 00:06:20.333
  • I want this for you in new jersey,
  • 00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:23.102
  • New jersey needs believers that pray every day.
  • 00:06:23.102 --> 00:06:26.439
  • New jersey needs believers that read their bible
  • 00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:30.143
  • Every day because input equals output.
  • 00:06:30.143 --> 00:06:33.346
  • Am i right?
  • 00:06:33.679 --> 00:06:34.747
  • Input equals output. and so.
  • 00:06:34.747 --> 00:06:38.785
  • Who's the host?
  • 00:06:39.152 --> 00:06:40.052
  • Where's the party?
  • 00:06:40.052 --> 00:06:41.154
  • Here's the application.
  • 00:06:41.154 --> 00:06:42.855
  • We need to stop waiting for our circumstances to be perfect
  • 00:06:42.855 --> 00:06:48.094
  • Before we celebrate.
  • 00:06:48.561 --> 00:06:50.363
  • That's the big application from this.
  • 00:06:50.363 --> 00:06:52.598
  • Now let's go back to leviticus chapter 23 through 27.
  • 00:06:52.598 --> 00:06:57.303
  • So when you go through leviticus 23 through 27,
  • 00:06:58.237 --> 00:07:00.740
  • Do you have festivals and holy days that god can?
  • 00:07:01.741 --> 00:07:04.710
  • He commanded them to observe.
  • 00:07:05.344 --> 00:07:06.579
  • It's not an option. you had to do it.
  • 00:07:06.579 --> 00:07:08.915
  • And there's three purposes for these feasts.
  • 00:07:08.915 --> 00:07:11.984
  • So write this down in your notes.
  • 00:07:11.984 --> 00:07:13.453
  • Number one is to remember god's faithfulness,
  • 00:07:13.453 --> 00:07:17.557
  • To remember god's faithfulness.
  • 00:07:18.191 --> 00:07:20.460
  • Each feast was tied to a historical event
  • 00:07:20.460 --> 00:07:23.729
  • In israel's past where god showed himself faithful.
  • 00:07:24.730 --> 00:07:28.100
  • So one of the examples that we've talked about for weeks here, we've gone through
  • 00:07:29.669 --> 00:07:31.637
  • The scriptures is passover, reminded them that they were delivered from egypt.
  • 00:07:31.637 --> 00:07:35.875
  • So they would say, hey,
  • 00:07:36.375 --> 00:07:38.377
  • Even though you weren't there for it, even though the generations have changed.
  • 00:07:38.377 --> 00:07:42.114
  • You were delivered from egypt.
  • 00:07:42.748 --> 00:07:43.816
  • And i need you to celebrate
  • 00:07:43.816 --> 00:07:45.351
  • Passover, which, by the way, jesus christ celebrated passover
  • 00:07:45.351 --> 00:07:49.288
  • And he celebrated the feast, and he celebrated the festivals as a jew.
  • 00:07:50.690 --> 00:07:54.327
  • And so it was this generational remembering.
  • 00:07:55.261 --> 00:07:57.830
  • If you're near one of our campuses, i want to give you
  • 00:07:58.898 --> 00:08:00.633
  • A personal invitation to check out v1 church.
  • 00:08:00.633 --> 00:08:04.704
  • There's no way i can describe the atmosphere of revival in the experience.
  • 00:08:06.172 --> 00:08:09.308
  • If you've never driven up or driven in, you know,
  • 00:08:10.309 --> 00:08:12.845
  • Let me just tell you it's a powerful atmosphere
  • 00:08:13.813 --> 00:08:15.681
  • And a bunch of people who really love the lord and want to get to know you.
  • 00:08:15.681 --> 00:08:19.585
  • So let us know when you're coming and i'll see you at v1 church.
  • 00:08:19.585 --> 00:08:26.559
  • There's this old song that my mom used to sing growing up,
  • 00:08:27.727 --> 00:08:31.097
  • And it was he'll do it again for you.
  • 00:08:31.898 --> 00:08:36.168
  • He's.
  • 00:08:36.402 --> 00:08:37.537
  • This makes me emotional even saying it.
  • 00:08:37.537 --> 00:08:39.839
  • Anybody remember that song?
  • 00:08:40.439 --> 00:08:41.340
  • Probably not.
  • 00:08:41.340 --> 00:08:43.576
  • We'll do it again for you.
  • 00:08:43.576 --> 00:08:48.114
  • He's the same god is then.
  • 00:08:48.681 --> 00:08:50.583
  • And they would sing this song.
  • 00:08:50.583 --> 00:08:51.851
  • And, you know, i may not know how.
  • 00:08:51.851 --> 00:08:55.288
  • I may not know when he'll do it again.
  • 00:08:56.122 --> 00:08:59.058
  • And we would sing that song over and over and over again.
  • 00:09:00.226 --> 00:09:01.127
  • He'll do it again.
  • 00:09:01.127 --> 00:09:02.628
  • That is the the the heart behind the feast in the festival.
  • 00:09:02.628 --> 00:09:06.532
  • He'll do it again for you.
  • 00:09:07.099 --> 00:09:10.670
  • He'll do it again. that's the same.
  • 00:09:11.404 --> 00:09:13.139
  • What is saying is passover was not a one time event.
  • 00:09:13.139 --> 00:09:17.710
  • Passover was the heart of a deliverer.
  • 00:09:18.544 --> 00:09:20.546
  • And anytime we need to be delivered, he will be faithful to deliver us.
  • 00:09:20.546 --> 00:09:25.418
  • I may not know when.
  • 00:09:25.885 --> 00:09:27.653
  • I may not know how, but he is a deliverer, so i will be delivered.
  • 00:09:27.653 --> 00:09:32.191
  • That's the message of passover.
  • 00:09:32.825 --> 00:09:34.060
  • So we celebrate it over and over again.
  • 00:09:34.060 --> 00:09:36.996
  • Does this make sense? okay.
  • 00:09:36.996 --> 00:09:39.565
  • So number one is a remembrance of god's faithfulness.
  • 00:09:40.633 --> 00:09:44.136
  • And they're connected to historical events.
  • 00:09:45.071 --> 00:09:47.306
  • Number two, it's renewal of covenant relationship.
  • 00:09:48.341 --> 00:09:51.344
  • Renewal of covenant relationship.
  • 00:09:52.111 --> 00:09:55.081
  • The feast and the festivals were a renewal of covenant relationship.
  • 00:09:56.482 --> 00:10:00.152
  • By celebrating together, the israelites are renewing
  • 00:10:01.220 --> 00:10:03.456
  • Their commitment to god and their commitment to each other.
  • 00:10:03.456 --> 00:10:07.026
  • This is my wedding ring.
  • 00:10:07.526 --> 00:10:09.729
  • Now, i had a prophetic dream before while i was preparing for this sermon
  • 00:10:09.729 --> 00:10:13.566
  • This week, and in my dream, this was deteriorating.
  • 00:10:13.566 --> 00:10:18.604
  • My wedding ring was deteriorate and it was crumbling, and it fell off my finger.
  • 00:10:20.139 --> 00:10:23.109
  • And i looked at it in a dream and i said, what is that?
  • 00:10:23.109 --> 00:10:26.445
  • And then the lord spoke to me in the dream,
  • 00:10:27.380 --> 00:10:28.981
  • And he said, you must teach my people the renewal of covenant.
  • 00:10:28.981 --> 00:10:32.718
  • Covenant is something that must be renewed in them.
  • 00:10:33.719 --> 00:10:36.055
  • See, god doesn't need to renew his covenant because god never forgets.
  • 00:10:37.490 --> 00:10:40.092
  • But we need to renew our covenant.
  • 00:10:40.860 --> 00:10:42.828
  • I'm preaching really good right now because for god, covenant is forever.
  • 00:10:42.828 --> 00:10:47.299
  • But for us, we're forgetful.
  • 00:10:47.900 --> 00:10:49.402
  • For us, we relapse for us, we our emotions guide our lives.
  • 00:10:49.402 --> 00:10:54.340
  • And so when i saw the ring on my finger was
  • 00:10:55.274 --> 00:10:57.143
  • Was dissolving in the dream god said, teach my people michael
  • 00:10:57.143 --> 00:11:01.714
  • How to go back to that place of covenant, how to renew the covenant.
  • 00:11:03.082 --> 00:11:05.651
  • And so it was a time of renewal.
  • 00:11:06.285 --> 00:11:07.620
  • They would celebrate together
  • 00:11:07.620 --> 00:11:09.288
  • And the israelites would renew their commitment to god.
  • 00:11:09.288 --> 00:11:12.825
  • This is why i believe that paul, who was a jew,
  • 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.896
  • Who was a part of these levitical
  • 00:11:17.630 --> 00:11:19.331
  • Celebrations that were instituted by god, would say, hey,
  • 00:11:19.331 --> 00:11:23.069
  • Even though we're in a new covenant, as the time of christ's return
  • 00:11:24.370 --> 00:11:27.039
  • Grows nearer and nearer, you should meet together more frequently.
  • 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:31.577
  • This is why this idea of i don't need to go to church
  • 00:11:32.611 --> 00:11:35.214
  • Every week is crazy, because the apostle paul would tell you,
  • 00:11:35.214 --> 00:11:39.018
  • If you believe that the return of christ is imminent, going to church once a week
  • 00:11:39.018 --> 00:11:43.756
  • Would be the minimum i prescribe to you, because the more you meet together,
  • 00:11:43.756 --> 00:11:47.960
  • There is a renewal of covenant where you're reminded who you really are.
  • 00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:52.798
  • And in a dark world, in a world that's rife with sexuality
  • 00:11:53.933 --> 00:11:56.969
  • And confusion and gender, and a world that's rife with division and divorce,
  • 00:11:56.969 --> 00:12:01.540
  • When hyperinflation sets in, when political corruption sets in.
  • 00:12:02.842 --> 00:12:06.612
  • I would argue we need to be meeting together
  • 00:12:07.546 --> 00:12:09.081
  • More frequently, not less frequently.
  • 00:12:09.081 --> 00:12:12.017
  • And people on long island talking about, well, sunday's the only day i got off.
  • 00:12:12.017 --> 00:12:15.788
  • Why would you not make the greatest investment in yourself
  • 00:12:16.922 --> 00:12:19.592
  • By getting your beauty in this room?
  • 00:12:20.392 --> 00:12:26.866
  • What are you going to
  • 00:12:27.366 --> 00:12:28.968
  • Do, sit at home and doom scroll on the filth of the internet?
  • 00:12:28.968 --> 00:12:31.103
  • And that's how you recharge.
  • 00:12:31.103 --> 00:12:33.706
  • I don't know about you, but church is the main way i recharge now.
  • 00:12:33.706 --> 00:12:37.510
  • I don't know about you.
  • 00:12:38.010 --> 00:12:39.145
  • Is the main way.
  • 00:12:39.145 --> 00:12:41.380
  • So it is a renewal of covenant
  • 00:12:41.380 --> 00:12:43.315
  • Relationship and the number three
  • 00:12:43.315 --> 00:12:46.519
  • Leviticus chapter 23 through 27.
  • 00:12:47.153 --> 00:12:49.922
  • It's rest and it's joy.
  • 00:12:50.422 --> 00:12:53.092
  • It's rest in it's joy.
  • 00:12:53.592 --> 00:12:55.528
  • The feasts were times to rest from labor,
  • 00:12:55.528 --> 00:12:58.964
  • A chance to rejoice in god's provision.
  • 00:12:59.832 --> 00:13:01.901
  • Oh well, i can't go to church on sunday because, you know, i got to mow my lawn.
  • 00:13:01.901 --> 00:13:06.672
  • No, you need to take a break from work,
  • 00:13:07.506 --> 00:13:09.341
  • And you need even the work of your personal life,
  • 00:13:09.341 --> 00:13:11.877
  • And you need to invest in you and get what?
  • 00:13:11.877 --> 00:13:14.246
  • God's people.
  • 00:13:14.246 --> 00:13:15.381
  • There's a rush and there's a joy.
  • 00:13:15.381 --> 00:13:17.316
  • And you know, one of the things that i'm the most proud of
  • 00:13:17.316 --> 00:13:20.953
  • Is when our at every location.
  • 00:13:21.587 --> 00:13:24.957
  • Did you guys see the men's conference that just happened?
  • 00:13:26.091 --> 00:13:28.627
  • And the men that filled the front and i mean,
  • 00:13:29.562 --> 00:13:31.664
  • The in the the floor was going like this in indiana.
  • 00:13:32.731 --> 00:13:34.767
  • I thought we were going to break down to the bottom
  • 00:13:34.767 --> 00:13:37.102
  • And there was going to be like just a crazy.
  • 00:13:37.102 --> 00:13:40.072
  • But but you know what?
  • 00:13:40.072 --> 00:13:41.340
  • I thought to myself, these men, that's joy.
  • 00:13:41.340 --> 00:13:44.243
  • And what i love about the men of this house is they won't do that
  • 00:13:45.444 --> 00:13:47.246
  • At a yankee stadium, but not do it in the local church,
  • 00:13:47.246 --> 00:13:50.850
  • Because jesus actually won it all for them.
  • 00:13:51.784 --> 00:13:54.587
  • And so i love the fact that there's rest in that.
  • 00:13:55.588 --> 00:13:56.922
  • There's joy in coming together.
  • 00:13:56.922 --> 00:13:59.024
  • Now, we don't have an explicit command for feasts and festivals,
  • 00:13:59.024 --> 00:14:03.562
  • Although it's sometimes with your your family, it might be appropriate
  • 00:14:04.897 --> 00:14:07.299
  • To try to celebrate some of these in a non obligatory way.
  • 00:14:07.299 --> 00:14:11.470
  • For example, the, you know, when you talk about the festival of pure,
  • 00:14:12.905 --> 00:14:15.241
  • It's like a big celebration that happens in judaism.
  • 00:14:16.308 --> 00:14:18.944
  • And i often thought, how cool would it be if v1 church did that with our kids?
  • 00:14:18.944 --> 00:14:23.816
  • And if you know anything about that celebration, it's really fun.
  • 00:14:25.084 --> 00:14:27.253
  • So there's ways to do that.
  • 00:14:27.853 --> 00:14:29.121
  • But leviticus is really about the heart of god,
  • 00:14:29.121 --> 00:14:31.857
  • Because when i a couple of weeks ago, when i said when,
  • 00:14:32.958 --> 00:14:35.227
  • When god commanded peter, eat what's unclean,
  • 00:14:36.161 --> 00:14:38.731
  • What peter was, what he was trying to get through, peter was peter.
  • 00:14:40.099 --> 00:14:42.601
  • You've gotten so rigid that you forgot my heart,
  • 00:14:43.569 --> 00:14:45.671
  • Because my heart is for gentiles.
  • 00:14:46.338 --> 00:14:48.240
  • My heart is for those who are not jews.
  • 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.676
  • And so i'm not saying that we are now going to begin to install levitical order
  • 00:14:50.676 --> 00:14:54.613
  • Into our church, but what we are going to do is install the heart of god
  • 00:14:54.613 --> 00:14:58.651
  • Concerning how he functions and what he wants from us.
  • 00:14:59.752 --> 00:15:02.955
  • So here's what i want you to do.
  • 00:15:03.589 --> 00:15:06.992
  • Number three is rest in joy.
  • 00:15:07.593 --> 00:15:10.029
  • God did not suggest he commanded.
  • 00:15:10.029 --> 00:15:13.299
  • And have you?
  • 00:15:13.666 --> 00:15:15.534
  • If anybody has kids, you ever tell your kid you better, you better smile.
  • 00:15:15.534 --> 00:15:18.270
  • You tell your kid, you better smile.
  • 00:15:19.038 --> 00:15:20.506
  • You put her arm collector happy.
  • 00:15:20.506 --> 00:15:23.375
  • Sometimes it feels like god's like you better have joy.
  • 00:15:23.375 --> 00:15:26.612
  • And you're like, god, i'm tryna join trying god.
  • 00:15:27.579 --> 00:15:30.049
  • I couldn't even find a parking spot in church today.
  • 00:15:30.049 --> 00:15:33.319
  • He's like, you better smile because i saved you.
  • 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:36.755
  • I die for you.
  • 00:15:37.122 --> 00:15:38.390
  • And you're like, god, i'm trying.
  • 00:15:38.390 --> 00:15:40.292
  • Am i the only one trying to love my wife?
  • 00:15:40.292 --> 00:15:43.862
  • You know how hard she is to love god.
  • 00:15:44.663 --> 00:15:45.731
  • You're still trying to love her.
  • 00:15:45.731 --> 00:15:52.938
  • The power of celebration.
  • 00:15:53.505 --> 00:15:55.808
  • Celebration defeats fear.
  • 00:15:55.808 --> 00:15:58.010
  • Stand here for you. with me.
  • 00:15:58.010 --> 00:15:59.845
  • I'm going to give you your last three
  • 00:16:00.646 --> 00:16:02.181
  • Because we're about to close out right now on this.
  • 00:16:02.181 --> 00:16:04.483
  • Everybody say this with me.
  • 00:16:04.483 --> 00:16:05.784
  • Celebration defeats fear.
  • 00:16:05.784 --> 00:16:09.121
  • Peace.
  • 00:16:09.355 --> 00:16:10.322
  • Second chronicles chapter.
  • 00:16:10.322 --> 00:16:11.957
  • So this is second chronicles, chapter 20.
  • 00:16:11.957 --> 00:16:14.493
  • He sent the worshipers ahead of the army, and god brought the battle.
  • 00:16:14.493 --> 00:16:19.598
  • And actually it happened for them.
  • 00:16:20.366 --> 00:16:21.567
  • So the worshipers went up ahead.
  • 00:16:21.567 --> 00:16:23.369
  • It's almost like god, his character is illustrated
  • 00:16:23.369 --> 00:16:26.939
  • And every single aspect of this.
  • 00:16:27.573 --> 00:16:29.208
  • Let me, let me get a singer up on stage real quick.
  • 00:16:29.208 --> 00:16:31.944
  • So this is what i want you to understand.
  • 00:16:31.944 --> 00:16:34.646
  • Is celebration actually cause the victory?
  • 00:16:34.646 --> 00:16:38.450
  • So you see, the heart of god in leviticus.
  • 00:16:39.351 --> 00:16:40.919
  • You see the god and, the same god throughout the entire bible
  • 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.256
  • With jehoshaphat.
  • 00:16:44.256 --> 00:16:45.557
  • You see it in second chronicles chapter 20.
  • 00:16:45.557 --> 00:16:48.093
  • Celebration defeats fear.
  • 00:16:48.093 --> 00:16:50.462
  • Did you know that? science.
  • 00:16:50.462 --> 00:16:52.164
  • They said that they believe that the drums.
  • 00:16:52.164 --> 00:16:54.600
  • You know, we your drummer.
  • 00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:56.301
  • We got drummers at every location that they said on a primal level,
  • 00:16:56.301 --> 00:17:00.239
  • A primitive level.
  • 00:17:00.239 --> 00:17:02.207
  • If you were in the forest and you begin to hit a loud note, make a loud noise,
  • 00:17:02.207 --> 00:17:06.745
  • You would start to scatter all the predators who would leave.
  • 00:17:07.946 --> 00:17:10.516
  • And so they were the even secular scientists would say, music makes sense,
  • 00:17:11.984 --> 00:17:15.220
  • Because even in a primal environment, you would be hitting the drums,
  • 00:17:16.588 --> 00:17:19.391
  • And then all of a sudden
  • 00:17:19.892 --> 00:17:21.860
  • You're, you're you're predators, the bears, the line, they would scatter.
  • 00:17:21.860 --> 00:17:24.363
  • And so they, they,
  • 00:17:24.797 --> 00:17:26.632
  • They believe that there's there's a connection between celebration.
  • 00:17:26.632 --> 00:17:29.635
  • Even when a bear's going to attack you.
  • 00:17:30.469 --> 00:17:31.937
  • They say, make yourself as big as you can and shout.
  • 00:17:31.937 --> 00:17:35.074
  • And so isn't it funny that you go into church
  • 00:17:36.008 --> 00:17:38.010
  • And people have their hands out like this, making their body as big as they can
  • 00:17:38.010 --> 00:17:41.914
  • And they're shouting that right there on a fundamental level
  • 00:17:41.914 --> 00:17:45.717
  • And saying it may not be a physical bear,
  • 00:17:46.618 --> 00:17:48.454
  • But there are demons that are trying to attack me.
  • 00:17:48.454 --> 00:17:51.690
  • There are spirits against me and i'm lifting my hands in the air
  • 00:17:52.925 --> 00:17:56.128
  • And i'm shouting unto god, my deliverer.
  • 00:17:56.995 --> 00:17:59.231
  • Just say, back up, devil, you cannot have me, and you cannot have my house.
  • 00:18:00.732 --> 00:18:04.303
  • And i'll lift my hands, and i'll make a sound on the drums,
  • 00:18:05.471 --> 00:18:08.774
  • And i'll make a sound on the keys.
  • 00:18:09.541 --> 00:18:10.876
  • Sometimes worship is the necessary warfare.
  • 00:18:10.876 --> 00:18:14.746
  • And when israel, he said, jehoshaphat, put the worshipers out front.
  • 00:18:16.148 --> 00:18:19.351
  • Because when that nation hears the sound of the war drum,
  • 00:18:20.486 --> 00:18:23.722
  • When they hear the sound of the horn, they're going to get
  • 00:18:24.890 --> 00:18:26.658
  • A revelation of the supernatural realm to save them.
  • 00:18:26.658 --> 00:18:30.162
  • There is more for these people than against them.
  • 00:18:30.162 --> 00:18:33.132
  • We better back down.
  • 00:18:33.132 --> 00:18:35.134
  • Hey, mike, cigna rally here in the studio.
  • 00:18:36.034 --> 00:18:38.470
  • We're getting ready to jump back into the sermon.
  • 00:18:38.470 --> 00:18:40.906
  • But just very briefly, i wanted to let you know
  • 00:18:40.906 --> 00:18:43.909
  • That i have a resource called the breakers mobile app,
  • 00:18:43.909 --> 00:18:47.913
  • And i have so many courses there that teach you supernatural ministry
  • 00:18:49.314 --> 00:18:52.985
  • And how you can unlock the gifts that god has given you.
  • 00:18:54.086 --> 00:18:56.054
  • I want you to download the mobile app and join a global community of people
  • 00:18:56.054 --> 00:19:00.559
  • Learning the narrow way, people learning how to operate
  • 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:04.329
  • In the fullness of what god has for them, and the gifts of the spirit.
  • 00:19:04.329 --> 00:19:08.767
  • It's called the breakers of mobile app.
  • 00:19:09.568 --> 00:19:11.470
  • It's actually entirely free and you can download it now on your device.
  • 00:19:11.470 --> 00:19:15.641
  • I will see you there.
  • 00:19:16.141 --> 00:19:22.114
  • Number
  • 00:19:22.347 --> 00:19:23.515
  • Two, celebration cultivates gratitude.
  • 00:19:23.515 --> 00:19:25.684
  • Philippians chapter four verse seven tells us to be anxious for nothing.
  • 00:19:25.684 --> 00:19:30.856
  • Somebody say that. be anxious for nothing.
  • 00:19:31.757 --> 00:19:34.826
  • Come on.
  • 00:19:35.093 --> 00:19:36.261
  • But what's in everything?
  • 00:19:36.261 --> 00:19:38.397
  • By prayer and supplication with thanksgiving.
  • 00:19:38.397 --> 00:19:41.700
  • Say that with thanksgiving.
  • 00:19:41.700 --> 00:19:44.336
  • Let our requests be known to god,
  • 00:19:44.336 --> 00:19:47.172
  • And the peace of god that guards our hearts and minds.
  • 00:19:47.172 --> 00:19:50.375
  • So what?
  • 00:19:50.642 --> 00:19:51.777
  • What is the antidote for anxiety?
  • 00:19:51.777 --> 00:19:54.046
  • It's gratitude.
  • 00:19:54.046 --> 00:19:55.714
  • So when they were doing feasts and festivals in leviticus,
  • 00:19:55.714 --> 00:19:59.084
  • They were saying, god, we're thankful.
  • 00:19:59.885 --> 00:20:00.886
  • We used to live on manna.
  • 00:20:00.886 --> 00:20:02.854
  • We used to. they they would come from the sky.
  • 00:20:02.854 --> 00:20:05.557
  • But when we came into this land,
  • 00:20:05.557 --> 00:20:07.626
  • You gave us god, the ability to eat of all these things.
  • 00:20:07.626 --> 00:20:11.496
  • Lord we're thankful. we're grateful.
  • 00:20:12.297 --> 00:20:13.832
  • Sometimes the antidote for anxiety is i didn't die
  • 00:20:13.832 --> 00:20:17.703
  • The last time i felt like i was going to die.
  • 00:20:17.703 --> 00:20:20.272
  • And i'm thankful.
  • 00:20:20.272 --> 00:20:21.540
  • God, i, god, you've always made a way.
  • 00:20:21.540 --> 00:20:24.042
  • You've always made a way.
  • 00:20:24.042 --> 00:20:25.577
  • There's something about somebody.
  • 00:20:25.577 --> 00:20:27.179
  • Just lift up your hands and say thank you, god.
  • 00:20:27.179 --> 00:20:30.182
  • Somebody on long island.
  • 00:20:30.182 --> 00:20:31.583
  • Think of somebody in new jersey.
  • 00:20:31.583 --> 00:20:33.719
  • Just think of, think of.
  • 00:20:33.719 --> 00:20:35.554
  • Thank him for what he did, but think him for what he's going to do.
  • 00:20:35.554 --> 00:20:39.925
  • Come on.
  • 00:20:40.192 --> 00:20:40.993
  • Just a few moments.
  • 00:20:40.993 --> 00:20:42.227
  • Thank him, thank him, thank him, thank him.
  • 00:20:42.227 --> 00:20:44.363
  • Philippians chapter four, verse six.
  • 00:20:44.363 --> 00:20:47.399
  • Celebration proclaims victory and revelation 19.
  • 00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.471
  • We read about the marriage supper of the lamb.
  • 00:20:53.438 --> 00:20:54.640
  • Now watch.
  • 00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:56.208
  • In psalm 23 he says, i prepare a table before your enemies.
  • 00:20:56.208 --> 00:21:00.479
  • But god is still preparing a table in revelation chapter 19.
  • 00:21:01.647 --> 00:21:04.950
  • And he says that the marriage supper of the lamb, a feast
  • 00:21:06.118 --> 00:21:08.220
  • Celebrating the ultimate victory over sin and death.
  • 00:21:09.254 --> 00:21:11.523
  • And he says, now, because you had a table with your enemies,
  • 00:21:12.724 --> 00:21:15.694
  • I am going to remove all your enemies
  • 00:21:16.461 --> 00:21:18.397
  • For once and for all, and the devil and all the demons
  • 00:21:18.397 --> 00:21:22.534
  • Will be thrown in the lake of fire and annihilated forever.
  • 00:21:23.735 --> 00:21:26.204
  • And so the enemies only sit at our table for a season.
  • 00:21:27.306 --> 00:21:29.975
  • But that's seasons going to come to an end.
  • 00:21:30.842 --> 00:21:32.811
  • And then if the love the marriage supper of the lamb, he's going to say no more.
  • 00:21:32.811 --> 00:21:38.850
  • Here's what i want you to do now.
  • 00:21:39.584 --> 00:21:43.021
  • Without any music or without any singers yet
  • 00:21:43.922 --> 00:21:48.160
  • Keep the music going at every location i want you now.
  • 00:21:49.261 --> 00:21:52.964
  • We're going to operate in faith.
  • 00:21:52.964 --> 00:21:54.966
  • So faith.
  • 00:21:54.966 --> 00:21:56.168
  • Faith. thanks. before. so how.
  • 00:21:56.168 --> 00:21:59.438
  • When are you?
  • 00:21:59.805 --> 00:22:00.572
  • Oh, come on, that.
  • 00:22:00.572 --> 00:22:05.110
  • When i order
  • 00:22:05.444 --> 00:22:06.845
  • At a restaurant, i tell them what i want on the menu.
  • 00:22:06.845 --> 00:22:09.681
  • And then i always say thank you before it comes.
  • 00:22:10.682 --> 00:22:13.852
  • And some of you don't even.
  • 00:22:14.453 --> 00:22:16.021
  • I bring that level of faith and the things of the spirit.
  • 00:22:16.021 --> 00:22:20.392
  • What do i mean by that?
  • 00:22:20.892 --> 00:22:22.561
  • God? is it your will for me to be sick?
  • 00:22:22.561 --> 00:22:24.629
  • Or is it your will for me to be healed?
  • 00:22:24.629 --> 00:22:27.132
  • Thank you for my healing.
  • 00:22:27.132 --> 00:22:29.434
  • Is that your will for my marriage should be restored?
  • 00:22:29.434 --> 00:22:32.270
  • Thank you to restore my marriage.
  • 00:22:32.270 --> 00:22:33.805
  • Is it a will?
  • 00:22:33.805 --> 00:22:35.574
  • Is it god's will for your your children to to be out in the world?
  • 00:22:35.574 --> 00:22:39.044
  • Or is it for them to be saved and sanctified?
  • 00:22:39.044 --> 00:22:41.146
  • So, so
  • 00:22:41.146 --> 00:22:43.181
  • What i'm about to do right now, across every location is we're going to take 30s
  • 00:22:43.181 --> 00:22:46.551
  • And just begin to thank him for what hasn't happened yet, because,
  • 00:22:47.853 --> 00:22:49.888
  • You know, he was faithful in the past,
  • 00:22:49.888 --> 00:22:51.757
  • Which means he's going to be faithful in the future.
  • 00:22:51.757 --> 00:22:53.959
  • So right now
  • 00:22:53.959 --> 00:22:55.260
  • And then just help me sing a prophetic medley,
  • 00:22:55.260 --> 00:22:57.062
  • Just whatever the lord gives you over all of our locations right now,
  • 00:22:57.062 --> 00:23:00.265
  • And we're going to do this for 30 seconds.
  • 00:23:01.166 --> 00:23:02.100
  • Let's lift it up right now.
  • 00:23:02.100 --> 00:23:03.969
  • Every even if you're a visitor, if this church is new to you, that's okay.
  • 00:23:03.969 --> 00:23:06.571
  • It's the same holy spirit.
  • 00:23:06.571 --> 00:23:08.473
  • I want you all just to begin to thank him and just say just just about 30s
  • 00:23:08.473 --> 00:23:12.844
  • Right now.
  • 00:23:12.844 --> 00:23:14.946
  • So, father, i'm going to say it with you so that you can get a revelation of this.

  • 00:23:17.783 --> 00:23:20.952

  • Father, i thank you right now, lord, that you are making a way
  • 00:23:25.791 --> 00:23:28.460
  • In the wilderness that dry seasons god

  • And what we thanked him for,
  • 00:25:14.332 --> 00:25:16.167

  • I really want to thank you for supporting this ministry.

  • Pray about what god would have you do.
  • 00:26:43.188 --> 00:26:44.756
  • We don't tell people what to give.
  • 00:26:44.756 --> 00:26:46.691
  • What we do love to talk about is the amazing, life saving projects
  • 00:26:46.691 --> 00:26:51.129
  • That we do around the united states and around the world.
  • 00:26:51.129 --> 00:26:54.432
  • Whether it's distributing the gospel
  • 00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:56.768
  • In non-christian nations, even underground church networks,
  • 00:26:56.768 --> 00:27:00.772
  • Or providing disaster relief to areas most affected around the united states.
  • 00:27:02.273 --> 00:27:05.610
  • Many lives are being changed because of your generosity.
  • 00:27:06.745 --> 00:27:06.745
