  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.450
  • Allen jackson: hey, i sat down recently with my father to do a
  • 00:00:06.855 --> 00:00:09.258
  • Podcast for my "culture & christianity" podcast, and it
  • 00:00:09.391 --> 00:00:13.695
  • Was so valuable to me.
  • 00:00:13.829 --> 00:00:15.898
  • I mean, we--it was stories that obviously i'm familiar with, but
  • 00:00:15.998 --> 00:00:17.099
  • As i heard him recount his faith, it ignited something in
  • 00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:22.171
  • Me about the faithfulness of god across generations.
  • 00:00:22.171 --> 00:00:26.241
  • Well, i encouraged my dad to put together a book about his
  • 00:00:26.241 --> 00:00:28.944
  • Experiences with the holy spirit.
  • 00:00:28.944 --> 00:00:30.913
  • It changed his life, my parents' life, ultimately my
  • 00:00:30.913 --> 00:00:33.682
  • Family's life.
  • 00:00:33.682 --> 00:00:35.050
  • I believe the book will be a real encouragement to you.
  • 00:00:35.050 --> 00:00:38.420
  • I wanna make it available to you right along with "unleashing the
  • 00:00:38.420 --> 00:00:41.090
  • Power of the holy spirit."
  • 00:00:41.090 --> 00:00:42.424
  • It's something i put together a while back that's been one of
  • 00:00:42.424 --> 00:00:44.827
  • The most effective tools we've ever had in the ministry.
  • 00:00:44.827 --> 00:00:47.863
  • Together they'll open the doorway for you to not just have
  • 00:00:47.863 --> 00:00:51.066
  • Language around the holy spirit but to have something to
  • 00:00:51.066 --> 00:00:53.669
  • Actually do to invite him into your life on a regular basis to
  • 00:00:53.669 --> 00:00:57.840
  • Give you the wisdom you need to help you unlock the problems
  • 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.542
  • That we face.
  • 00:01:00.542 --> 00:01:01.910
  • The spirit of god within us to help us, guide us, and direct
  • 00:01:01.910 --> 00:01:05.280
  • Us, that's invaluable and these books will help you understand.
  • 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:09.685
  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:01:09.685 --> 00:01:22.097
  • Allen: so if there is a statement of intent from our
  • 00:01:12.087 --> 00:01:25.634
  • Lord, i would submit to you, it would be in our best interest to
  • 00:01:25.634 --> 00:01:29.338
  • Understand it.
  • 00:01:29.338 --> 00:01:31.073
  • If he is about something, i want to help.
  • 00:01:31.073 --> 00:01:35.744
  • So look with me at your notes.
  • 00:01:35.744 --> 00:01:37.079
  • It's matthew 16.
  • 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:38.614
  • This is jesus speaking.
  • 00:01:38.614 --> 00:01:40.415
  • He said, "i will build my church, and the gates of hell
  • 00:01:40.415 --> 00:01:44.686
  • Will not overcome it."
  • 00:01:44.686 --> 00:01:47.789
  • Now, he wouldn't have had to put that second half of the sentence
  • 00:01:47.789 --> 00:01:50.759
  • In there unless there was going to be some seasons and times and
  • 00:01:50.759 --> 00:01:53.962
  • Presentations when it looked like the gates of hades might
  • 00:01:53.962 --> 00:01:56.965
  • Overcome it.
  • 00:01:56.965 --> 00:01:59.635
  • We needed that rest of the message.
  • 00:01:59.635 --> 00:02:02.037
  • "i will build my church," he said.
  • 00:02:02.037 --> 00:02:05.274
  • "i will give you the church, the keys of the kingdom of heaven;
  • 00:02:05.274 --> 00:02:08.210
  • And whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and
  • 00:02:08.210 --> 00:02:10.379
  • Whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
  • 00:02:10.379 --> 00:02:12.781
  • The promise, what's the promise?
  • 00:02:12.781 --> 00:02:16.218
  • Jesus will build his church.
  • 00:02:16.218 --> 00:02:19.121
  • And hell will not be able to stop it.
  • 00:02:19.121 --> 00:02:22.157
  • Now, that makes me smile.
  • 00:02:22.157 --> 00:02:25.594
  • And he went on to say there'll be some keys for freedom
  • 00:02:25.594 --> 00:02:27.996
  • Available to the church.
  • 00:02:27.996 --> 00:02:30.032
  • Well, if jesus is in the business of establishing and
  • 00:02:30.032 --> 00:02:33.702
  • Expanding his church, watch me get involved.
  • 00:02:33.702 --> 00:02:38.307
  • However, whatever.
  • 00:02:38.307 --> 00:02:40.742
  • You know, people will say to me from time to time, do i think
  • 00:02:40.742 --> 00:02:42.711
  • The church is too large?
  • 00:02:42.711 --> 00:02:44.046
  • And i go, no, actually i'm a little embarrassed.
  • 00:02:44.046 --> 00:02:47.449
  • I've been working in this harvest field for a good while
  • 00:02:47.449 --> 00:02:49.818
  • And the city's grown exponentially, one of the
  • 00:02:49.818 --> 00:02:51.954
  • Fastest-growing cities in the state, one of the
  • 00:02:51.954 --> 00:02:54.122
  • Fastest-growing regions in the nation, and we're just--we're
  • 00:02:54.122 --> 00:02:57.292
  • Losing ground every day.
  • 00:02:57.292 --> 00:02:58.660
  • Fewer church people in rutherford county than any time
  • 00:02:58.660 --> 00:03:00.963
  • In the history of this county.
  • 00:03:00.963 --> 00:03:04.433
  • Am i grateful for what god's done?
  • 00:03:04.433 --> 00:03:05.934
  • Absolutely, but it doesn't seem like something that we should be
  • 00:03:05.934 --> 00:03:09.471
  • Puffed up about.
  • 00:03:09.471 --> 00:03:11.607
  • Jesus is in the business of building his church.
  • 00:03:11.607 --> 00:03:15.210
  • And he's not gonna--that's not based on who's in political
  • 00:03:15.210 --> 00:03:18.580
  • Power or what the irs rules or what congress says or what the
  • 00:03:18.580 --> 00:03:23.518
  • Aclu does.
  • 00:03:23.518 --> 00:03:26.188
  • Jesus is building his church.
  • 00:03:26.188 --> 00:03:28.690
  • That makes me smile so much.
  • 00:03:28.690 --> 00:03:30.392
  • We're gonna see him one day.
  • 00:03:30.392 --> 00:03:36.398
  • Ah, i get on a rabbit trail, we'll never finish.
  • 00:03:36.398 --> 00:03:40.335
  • Look at ephesians 1:22: "god placed all things under
  • 00:03:40.335 --> 00:03:44.606
  • His feet."
  • 00:03:44.606 --> 00:03:45.974
  • That's jesus's feet.
  • 00:03:45.974 --> 00:03:47.309
  • "placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be the
  • 00:03:47.309 --> 00:03:49.578
  • Head over everything for the church."
  • 00:03:49.578 --> 00:03:54.182
  • When you drive through our community, bless the churches.
  • 00:03:54.182 --> 00:04:01.123
  • Not just the one where you sit.
  • 00:04:01.123 --> 00:04:04.026
  • Say, "lord jesus, let your name be exalted in that place.
  • 00:04:04.026 --> 00:04:07.763
  • Let your word be taught.
  • 00:04:07.763 --> 00:04:09.097
  • Let the truth be told.
  • 00:04:09.097 --> 00:04:11.600
  • May that become a lighthouse.
  • 00:04:11.600 --> 00:04:14.369
  • May that become a place of deliverance and liberty and
  • 00:04:14.369 --> 00:04:17.239
  • Freedom, amen?
  • 00:04:17.239 --> 00:04:24.613
  • We have--we take this so--it's not like it's not mine.
  • 00:04:24.613 --> 00:04:27.849
  • What do you mean it's not our?
  • 00:04:27.849 --> 00:04:29.384
  • It's the intent of our lord.
  • 00:04:29.384 --> 00:04:33.255
  • How can you say you serve the lord and you don't care about
  • 00:04:33.255 --> 00:04:35.857
  • The church?
  • 00:04:35.857 --> 00:04:38.593
  • It was very convicting for me because i didn't.
  • 00:04:38.593 --> 00:04:41.330
  • My spiritual formation didn't take place in church.
  • 00:04:41.330 --> 00:04:43.398
  • I was baptized in the atlantic ocean in fort lauderdale.
  • 00:04:43.398 --> 00:04:48.236
  • Right in front of the sheraton, not in some neat little
  • 00:04:48.236 --> 00:04:50.706
  • Fiberglass baptistry in some sweet church.
  • 00:04:50.706 --> 00:04:53.975
  • Right out there on the beach with the pagans.
  • 00:04:53.975 --> 00:04:58.347
  • On a stormy day, i got baptized a couple of times before i got
  • 00:04:58.347 --> 00:05:01.283
  • To the place where they were baptizing people.
  • 00:05:01.283 --> 00:05:05.921
  • I mean, i accepted the lord in a kitchen, not at the altar of
  • 00:05:05.921 --> 00:05:08.890
  • A church.
  • 00:05:08.890 --> 00:05:10.592
  • Most of my spiritual experiences weren't connected to a formal
  • 00:05:10.592 --> 00:05:14.563
  • Religious gathering, and so i didn't really value the church.
  • 00:05:14.563 --> 00:05:18.233
  • God had--when he began to invite me into ministry, i
  • 00:05:18.233 --> 00:05:20.335
  • Thought, "what are you--what do you--" i didn't even understand.
  • 00:05:20.335 --> 00:05:25.073
  • He had to change my heart so dramatically.
  • 00:05:25.073 --> 00:05:29.044
  • Church isn't about a building, it's about people.
  • 00:05:29.044 --> 00:05:34.149
  • But the initiative of church requires some things, some
  • 00:05:34.149 --> 00:05:37.185
  • Organizational principles.
  • 00:05:37.185 --> 00:05:38.553
  • There's a whole host of things that go with it.
  • 00:05:38.553 --> 00:05:40.555
  • Jesus is the head of the church.
  • 00:05:40.555 --> 00:05:45.160
  • It's a very dangerous thing to be destructive to the church.
  • 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:50.031
  • I'm not talking about this place, so i want you to
  • 00:05:50.031 --> 00:05:51.700
  • Bless them.
  • 00:05:51.700 --> 00:05:54.236
  • Have an attitude in your heart that brings god's best to them.
  • 00:05:54.236 --> 00:05:58.140
  • John 14, this is worth exploring just a little bit more for
  • 00:05:58.140 --> 00:06:00.709
  • A moment.
  • 00:06:00.709 --> 00:06:02.043
  • Jesus said, "i tell you the truth," and you know now that
  • 00:06:02.043 --> 00:06:03.912
  • Means truth bomb.
  • 00:06:03.912 --> 00:06:07.282
  • Bunker buster.
  • 00:06:07.282 --> 00:06:09.451
  • "i tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what
  • 00:06:09.451 --> 00:06:11.987
  • I've been doing."
  • 00:06:11.987 --> 00:06:14.322
  • Well, there's his plan for the church.
  • 00:06:14.322 --> 00:06:15.657
  • This is his operational objective, "the things i've been
  • 00:06:15.657 --> 00:06:18.226
  • Doing, you're gonna do."
  • 00:06:18.226 --> 00:06:20.495
  • Whoa, wait, how?
  • 00:06:20.495 --> 00:06:24.733
  • "he'll do even greater things than these, because i'm going to
  • 00:06:24.733 --> 00:06:27.135
  • The father.
  • 00:06:27.135 --> 00:06:28.503
  • And i'll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the son may
  • 00:06:28.503 --> 00:06:30.906
  • Bring glory to the father.
  • 00:06:30.906 --> 00:06:32.474
  • You'll ask me for anything in my name, and i'll do it."
  • 00:06:32.474 --> 00:06:34.976
  • He just gave us authority to use his name.
  • 00:06:34.976 --> 00:06:37.712
  • You know why we pray in jesus's name?
  • 00:06:37.712 --> 00:06:40.749
  • Because that's why we have standing.
  • 00:06:40.749 --> 00:06:43.385
  • It's not like i walk into the throne room of god and go, "hey,
  • 00:06:43.385 --> 00:06:45.687
  • Yo boss, it's aj."
  • 00:06:45.687 --> 00:06:50.725
  • I know it's kind of funny too.
  • 00:06:50.725 --> 00:06:52.093
  • It wouldn't carry much, would it?
  • 00:06:52.093 --> 00:06:54.463
  • But i can come in humility and say, you know, "father, i'm
  • 00:06:54.463 --> 00:06:58.200
  • Coming in jesus's name."
  • 00:06:58.200 --> 00:07:01.002
  • It's not my account.
  • 00:07:01.002 --> 00:07:03.438
  • I'm coming under his authority.
  • 00:07:03.438 --> 00:07:06.641
  • Why would we do that?
  • 00:07:06.641 --> 00:07:07.976
  • Why would jesus give us that authority?
  • 00:07:07.976 --> 00:07:09.344
  • Because he wanted to establish his church.
  • 00:07:09.344 --> 00:07:15.750
  • It conquered the roman empire.
  • 00:07:15.750 --> 00:07:19.421
  • It's outlasted so many murderous empires and leaders
  • 00:07:19.421 --> 00:07:24.960
  • And initiatives.
  • 00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:27.295
  • It's been hated and hunted, and it's flourishing in the earth.
  • 00:07:27.295 --> 00:07:32.167
  • It's amazing to me.
  • 00:07:32.167 --> 00:07:34.503
  • Part of the same dialogue in john 16: jesus said, "now is
  • 00:07:34.503 --> 00:07:37.672
  • Your time of grief."
  • 00:07:37.672 --> 00:07:39.007
  • He's just told his friends he's leaving and where he's going
  • 00:07:39.007 --> 00:07:40.942
  • They can't go, and he said, "but i'll see you again and
  • 00:07:40.942 --> 00:07:43.612
  • You'll rejoice."
  • 00:07:43.612 --> 00:07:45.380
  • I'm gonna be arrested and tortured to death.
  • 00:07:45.380 --> 00:07:47.115
  • You're gonna grieve, "but you'll see me after that and you'll be
  • 00:07:47.115 --> 00:07:50.018
  • Really happy about it, and no one will take away your joy.
  • 00:07:50.018 --> 00:07:53.054
  • In that day after my resurrection, you'll no longer
  • 00:07:53.054 --> 00:07:55.490
  • Ask me for anything.
  • 00:07:55.490 --> 00:07:57.492
  • I tell you the truth," here we go again, "my father will give
  • 00:07:57.492 --> 00:08:00.228
  • You whatever you ask in my name.
  • 00:08:00.228 --> 00:08:02.430
  • Until now you haven't asked for anything in my name," because i
  • 00:08:02.430 --> 00:08:05.734
  • Could just go ask him.
  • 00:08:05.734 --> 00:08:09.104
  • Somebody would--they would bring somebody to the disciples
  • 00:08:09.104 --> 00:08:11.206
  • For help or ministry and they couldn't help him.
  • 00:08:11.206 --> 00:08:13.041
  • And so they would take him to jesus and say, you know, we're
  • 00:08:13.041 --> 00:08:15.410
  • Not having any luck, and he would intervene.
  • 00:08:15.410 --> 00:08:18.346
  • But he said, "now i'm going away and where i'm going, you can't
  • 00:08:18.346 --> 00:08:20.715
  • Come, but now you can ask in my name."
  • 00:08:20.715 --> 00:08:25.854
  • We're so casual about this.
  • 00:08:25.854 --> 00:08:27.956
  • We can approach the throne of the creator of heaven and earth
  • 00:08:27.956 --> 00:08:31.293
  • In the name, under the authority, of our lord and king.
  • 00:08:31.293 --> 00:08:37.599
  • In hebrews, he said we can approach the throne of grace
  • 00:08:37.599 --> 00:08:41.036
  • With boldness.
  • 00:08:41.036 --> 00:08:43.204
  • To find grace, something--grace is favor we don't deserve, we
  • 00:08:43.204 --> 00:08:47.075
  • Didn't earn.
  • 00:08:47.075 --> 00:08:48.443
  • Grace and mercy in our time of need, not in our time
  • 00:08:48.443 --> 00:08:51.313
  • Of triumph.
  • 00:08:51.313 --> 00:08:53.148
  • We can approach the throne of grace boldly, how?
  • 00:08:53.148 --> 00:08:57.919
  • In his name.
  • 00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.422
  • That's why we make, like, the blood of jesus confession.
  • 00:09:00.422 --> 00:09:03.358
  • Through the blood of jesus, i'm delivered out of the hand of
  • 00:09:03.358 --> 00:09:05.560
  • The enemy.
  • 00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:06.928
  • Through the blood of jesus, all my sins are forgiven.
  • 00:09:06.928 --> 00:09:10.131
  • Through the blood of jesus, i'm sanctified, made holy, set apart
  • 00:09:10.131 --> 00:09:14.202
  • To god.
  • 00:09:14.202 --> 00:09:15.570
  • Through the blood of jesus, i'm justified, made righteous, just
  • 00:09:15.570 --> 00:09:17.939
  • As if i'd never sinned.
  • 00:09:17.939 --> 00:09:19.274
  • My body is a temple of the holy spirit, redeemed, cleansed by
  • 00:09:19.274 --> 00:09:22.811
  • The blood of jesus.
  • 00:09:22.811 --> 00:09:24.446
  • Therefore, satan has no place in me, no power over me, through
  • 00:09:24.446 --> 00:09:28.383
  • The blood of jesus.
  • 00:09:28.383 --> 00:09:30.418
  • Not because allen's so good or i read my bible so regularly.
  • 00:09:30.418 --> 00:09:33.655
  • I do my best, but i'm not earning those things.
  • 00:09:33.655 --> 00:09:36.725
  • I'm coming in jesus's name.
  • 00:09:36.725 --> 00:09:39.427
  • Why is that important?
  • 00:09:39.427 --> 00:09:40.762
  • Because jesus is building his church in the earth and i wanna
  • 00:09:40.762 --> 00:09:44.165
  • Be a gatekeeper, a doorkeeper, a door sweeper, whatever it takes,
  • 00:09:44.165 --> 00:09:48.870
  • I wanna be in.
  • 00:09:48.870 --> 00:09:55.010
  • It's a promise.
  • 00:09:55.010 --> 00:09:57.145
  • I'll give you a different promise.
  • 00:09:57.145 --> 00:09:58.480
  • James chapter 1, says: "if any of you lacks wisdom," i hope
  • 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:04.119
  • You're leaning forward now.
  • 00:10:04.119 --> 00:10:06.588
  • How many feel like you lack a little wisdom?
  • 00:10:06.588 --> 00:10:09.624
  • Or how many of you got up this morning and thought, "you know,
  • 00:10:09.624 --> 00:10:11.393
  • Today is just not gonna be challenging at all.
  • 00:10:11.393 --> 00:10:14.796
  • I know all the answers."
  • 00:10:14.796 --> 00:10:18.133
  • Yeah, me either.
  • 00:10:18.133 --> 00:10:20.301
  • "if--if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask god, who
  • 00:10:20.301 --> 00:10:25.073
  • Gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be
  • 00:10:25.073 --> 00:10:30.111
  • Given him."
  • 00:10:30.111 --> 00:10:31.546
  • There's the promise.
  • 00:10:31.546 --> 00:10:34.416
  • God will give us his wisdom, generously.
  • 00:10:34.416 --> 00:10:41.890
  • Wisdom is not just knowledge or information, it's the right use
  • 00:10:41.890 --> 00:10:45.527
  • Of knowledge.
  • 00:10:45.527 --> 00:10:47.762
  • It's the timely use of information.
  • 00:10:47.762 --> 00:10:51.199
  • God will give us his wisdom.
  • 00:10:51.199 --> 00:10:56.071
  • Verse 6: "but when he asks, he must believe and not doubt."
  • 00:10:56.071 --> 00:11:01.743
  • Many of god's promises are conditional.
  • 00:11:01.743 --> 00:11:06.014
  • God said we have to be born again and he's made provision
  • 00:11:06.014 --> 00:11:08.183
  • That you can be saved, but there's a condition you have
  • 00:11:08.183 --> 00:11:10.852
  • To meet.
  • 00:11:10.852 --> 00:11:12.187
  • You have to believe in your heart and confess with
  • 00:11:12.187 --> 00:11:13.555
  • Your mouth.
  • 00:11:13.555 --> 00:11:14.889
  • God said he'll give you his wisdom, but you have to ask.
  • 00:11:14.889 --> 00:11:19.394
  • You can't say, "i don't need it."
  • 00:11:19.394 --> 00:11:22.664
  • You can't say, "i'm the smartest person in the room already."
  • 00:11:22.664 --> 00:11:26.468
  • You have to ask for his wisdom.
  • 00:11:26.468 --> 00:11:27.836
  • But then he said we have to "believe and not doubt, because
  • 00:11:27.836 --> 00:11:30.572
  • If we doubt we're like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by
  • 00:11:30.572 --> 00:11:33.374
  • The wind.
  • 00:11:33.374 --> 00:11:34.709
  • That man shouldn't think he'll receive anything from the lord.
  • 00:11:34.709 --> 00:11:37.979
  • He is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does."
  • 00:11:37.979 --> 00:11:40.515
  • Well, the promise is god said he'll give us his wisdom,
  • 00:11:40.515 --> 00:11:43.418
  • Generously, with no criticism.
  • 00:11:43.418 --> 00:11:45.253
  • He won't go, "you're dumb as a stick.
  • 00:11:45.253 --> 00:11:46.688
  • I'm not giving you any wisdom."
  • 00:11:46.688 --> 00:11:49.424
  • He said he would give it generously, no criticism, but
  • 00:11:49.424 --> 00:11:52.193
  • The conditions are we have to believe and not doubt.
  • 00:11:52.193 --> 00:11:54.996
  • We cannot be double-minded.
  • 00:11:54.996 --> 00:11:56.498
  • We have to be single-minded.
  • 00:11:56.498 --> 00:11:59.768
  • That's been one of my most consistent prayers for a long,
  • 00:11:59.768 --> 00:12:02.370
  • Long time.
  • 00:12:02.370 --> 00:12:04.439
  • You still have prayer cards in the back of the seats in front
  • 00:12:04.439 --> 00:12:06.574
  • Of you.
  • 00:12:06.574 --> 00:12:08.409
  • For many, many years, we would take those prayer cards and type
  • 00:12:08.409 --> 00:12:11.980
  • A list every week of the prayer requests that were turned in.
  • 00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:16.584
  • It got to be multiple pages.
  • 00:12:16.584 --> 00:12:20.121
  • Now we just pray over the cards.
  • 00:12:20.121 --> 00:12:22.457
  • But for many of those years i didn't have an assignment.
  • 00:12:22.457 --> 00:12:24.926
  • Before we had multiple sanctuaries, i didn't have to
  • 00:12:24.926 --> 00:12:26.828
  • Make announcements.
  • 00:12:26.828 --> 00:12:29.697
  • Not the good old days, just different days.
  • 00:12:29.697 --> 00:12:32.267
  • So every week when they were receiving an offering, i got to
  • 00:12:32.267 --> 00:12:34.936
  • Fill out a prayer card.
  • 00:12:34.936 --> 00:12:37.005
  • And i put the same thing, at least as a part of my prayer
  • 00:12:37.005 --> 00:12:40.308
  • Every week for years and years.
  • 00:12:40.308 --> 00:12:43.444
  • God, give me your wisdom.
  • 00:12:43.444 --> 00:12:46.514
  • I needed it.
  • 00:12:46.514 --> 00:12:48.783
  • I knew i was in so far over my head.
  • 00:12:48.783 --> 00:12:52.220
  • Did you know you can have god's wisdom?
  • 00:12:52.220 --> 00:12:55.790
  • Stop saying, "i'm not so smart.
  • 00:12:55.790 --> 00:12:58.459
  • I don't know how technology works."
  • 00:12:58.459 --> 00:13:02.030
  • I know who does.
  • 00:13:02.030 --> 00:13:10.205
  • Folks, these promises will not populate your experience by
  • 00:13:10.205 --> 00:13:15.743
  • Accident, any more than conversion and the
  • 00:13:15.743 --> 00:13:18.746
  • Transformation of your life will.
  • 00:13:18.746 --> 00:13:21.883
  • You see, if you confess jesus is lord and believe in your heart
  • 00:13:21.883 --> 00:13:24.485
  • That he's lord, it opens a doorway into the eternal kingdom
  • 00:13:24.485 --> 00:13:27.922
  • Of god, but it initiates a journey on your part where
  • 00:13:27.922 --> 00:13:31.192
  • You're gonna begin to say yes to godliness and no to ungodliness.
  • 00:13:31.192 --> 00:13:36.231
  • And when you say, "god, i want your wisdom," the spirit of god
  • 00:13:36.231 --> 00:13:39.100
  • Will unleash a journey in you.
  • 00:13:39.100 --> 00:13:40.468
  • He'll give you a hunger for his word.
  • 00:13:40.468 --> 00:13:42.103
  • He'll put people in your path that have wisdom around areas
  • 00:13:42.103 --> 00:13:45.039
  • Where you need expertise.
  • 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.609
  • And if you're willing to learn and listen and be a learner and
  • 00:13:47.609 --> 00:13:50.979
  • Have the humility to say, "i would love to know more about
  • 00:13:50.979 --> 00:13:53.114
  • That, can you tell me?"
  • 00:13:53.114 --> 00:13:54.449
  • And you'll give time and energy to that, god will bring the
  • 00:13:54.449 --> 00:13:58.086
  • Wisdom you need for the season you're walking through, in the
  • 00:13:58.086 --> 00:14:01.656
  • Time you need it.
  • 00:14:01.656 --> 00:14:04.025
  • Now, i get impatient.
  • 00:14:04.025 --> 00:14:05.994
  • I want all the information i'm ever gonna need for whatever
  • 00:14:05.994 --> 00:14:08.563
  • Problem i'm ever gonna face, and i wanna be able to instantly
  • 00:14:08.563 --> 00:14:10.865
  • Recall it at the right moment.
  • 00:14:10.865 --> 00:14:13.668
  • God has not done that for me.
  • 00:14:13.668 --> 00:14:15.904
  • But he has provided the wisdom i have needed at every juncture,
  • 00:14:15.904 --> 00:14:18.973
  • Often beyond me.
  • 00:14:18.973 --> 00:14:21.709
  • Somebody will walk in and say, "i can help with that.
  • 00:14:21.709 --> 00:14:23.878
  • I wanna help you with this."
  • 00:14:23.878 --> 00:14:25.246
  • They've walked into my house, said, "i'm gonna help you
  • 00:14:25.246 --> 00:14:26.581
  • With this."
  • 00:14:26.581 --> 00:14:27.916
  • I'm going, "oh, i didn't know i needed help."
  • 00:14:27.916 --> 00:14:29.284
  • "oh, you need help."
  • 00:14:29.284 --> 00:14:33.588
  • I pray that prayer with such regularity.
  • 00:14:33.588 --> 00:14:36.324
  • I don't want my life to reflect my iq.
  • 00:14:36.324 --> 00:14:40.695
  • I've had the privilege of a reasonable education, but i
  • 00:14:40.695 --> 00:14:42.864
  • Don't want my life outcome to reflect what i learned in
  • 00:14:42.864 --> 00:14:46.234
  • A library.
  • 00:14:46.234 --> 00:14:48.536
  • I want my journey through time to reflect the wisdom of
  • 00:14:48.536 --> 00:14:51.005
  • Almighty god.
  • 00:14:51.005 --> 00:14:53.241
  • So i'm asking, yeah, and i mean, it's not easy to
  • 00:14:53.241 --> 00:14:58.513
  • Stay single-minded.
  • 00:14:58.513 --> 00:15:00.848
  • Peter climbed out of the boat and he got focused on the wind
  • 00:15:00.848 --> 00:15:02.984
  • And the waves and he got a little wash.
  • 00:15:02.984 --> 00:15:07.555
  • And you may sink a little bit from time to time.
  • 00:15:07.555 --> 00:15:10.258
  • That's why you need people to encourage you.
  • 00:15:10.258 --> 00:15:12.961
  • It's why i want to make the journey.
  • 00:15:12.961 --> 00:15:14.362
  • I want to spend my discretionary time with people that believe
  • 00:15:14.362 --> 00:15:16.864
  • The promises of god.
  • 00:15:16.864 --> 00:15:20.001
  • This isn't a game, it's not some joke.
  • 00:15:20.001 --> 00:15:23.504
  • It's not a hobby.
  • 00:15:23.504 --> 00:15:28.743
  • I've told you many times, stop trying to be godly, start
  • 00:15:28.743 --> 00:15:31.646
  • Training, very different.
  • 00:15:31.646 --> 00:15:35.016
  • You try when it's convenient, when you have some free time,
  • 00:15:35.016 --> 00:15:37.185
  • When you're in the mood, when the weather's right.
  • 00:15:37.185 --> 00:15:40.388
  • Training, if you're committed to it, you do, no matter what.
  • 00:15:40.388 --> 00:15:44.659
  • When you're tired, when the weather's bad, when you don't
  • 00:15:44.659 --> 00:15:46.661
  • Feel like it, when you're achy, when your joints are creaky, you
  • 00:15:46.661 --> 00:15:49.864
  • Keep training.
  • 00:15:49.864 --> 00:15:52.333
  • We've been trying to honor the lord long enough.
  • 00:15:52.333 --> 00:15:55.169
  • Let's start training.
  • 00:15:55.169 --> 00:16:01.309
  • Allen: hey, i sat down with my father recently, did a podcast.
  • 00:16:05.513 --> 00:16:08.649
  • He told the story of how he came to faith, how god transformed
  • 00:16:08.649 --> 00:16:11.252
  • Our family.
  • 00:16:11.252 --> 00:16:12.620
  • They started a home bible study, all the way up to the beginning
  • 00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:14.455
  • Of this church that i've served now for decades and as i
  • 00:16:14.455 --> 00:16:17.592
  • Listened, the heart of it was the work of the holy spirit in
  • 00:16:17.592 --> 00:16:20.194
  • His life and through his life.
  • 00:16:20.194 --> 00:16:22.130
  • I asked him to do a book around the topic, and we have it, so
  • 00:16:22.130 --> 00:16:25.566
  • That you can invite the spirit of god to be the dynamic
  • 00:16:25.566 --> 00:16:28.436
  • Presence of the power of god to bring change and life and hope,
  • 00:16:28.436 --> 00:16:32.640
  • No matter what the circumstances.
  • 00:16:32.640 --> 00:16:34.509
  • You'll enjoy the book.
  • 00:16:34.509 --> 00:16:35.877
  • Female announcer: experience the holy spirit in a deeper way with

  • It's a collection of pastor allen's sermons that will help
  • 00:16:51.592 --> 00:16:54.295
  • You understand the holy spirit in new ways.

  • Allen: i got one last one.
  • 00:17:07.275 --> 00:17:08.609
  • This one's so good, i wanna give it to you.
  • 00:17:08.609 --> 00:17:11.212
  • Told you it was a fun lesson.
  • 00:17:11.212 --> 00:17:12.547
  • I'll hush.
  • 00:17:12.547 --> 00:17:13.915
  • We'll be done, for breakfast.
  • 00:17:13.915 --> 00:17:16.217
  • It's about jesus and his angels.
  • 00:17:16.217 --> 00:17:17.752
  • Look at matthew 16: "jesus said to his disciples, 'if anyone
  • 00:17:17.752 --> 00:17:22.323
  • Would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his
  • 00:17:22.323 --> 00:17:24.859
  • Cross and follow me.'"
  • 00:17:24.859 --> 00:17:26.227
  • Oh bother.
  • 00:17:26.227 --> 00:17:28.863
  • I mean, what a debbie downer.
  • 00:17:28.863 --> 00:17:32.133
  • What a fun message.
  • 00:17:32.133 --> 00:17:35.303
  • "'for whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever
  • 00:17:35.303 --> 00:17:37.572
  • Loses his life for me will find it.
  • 00:17:37.572 --> 00:17:40.174
  • What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world?'"
  • 00:17:40.174 --> 00:17:42.944
  • Well, i could think of some good.
  • 00:17:42.944 --> 00:17:45.246
  • You can get yachts like bezos.
  • 00:17:45.246 --> 00:17:49.317
  • "'but he forfeits his soul?'"
  • 00:17:49.317 --> 00:17:50.685
  • That's not so good.
  • 00:17:50.685 --> 00:17:52.954
  • "'or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?'"
  • 00:17:52.954 --> 00:17:57.191
  • Well, verse 23 is the promise.
  • 00:17:57.191 --> 00:17:59.594
  • "'for the son of man is going to come in his father's glory.'"
  • 00:17:59.594 --> 00:18:04.265
  • Glory means the manifest, the visible expression of the
  • 00:18:04.265 --> 00:18:09.904
  • Majesty and the power of god.
  • 00:18:09.904 --> 00:18:13.574
  • Jesus is returning to the earth with a visible display of the
  • 00:18:13.574 --> 00:18:18.946
  • Power of almighty god.
  • 00:18:18.946 --> 00:18:23.518
  • He's not coming back to a stable in bethlehem with the shepherds
  • 00:18:23.518 --> 00:18:28.055
  • And some little kid going, "pa rumpa pum pum."
  • 00:18:28.055 --> 00:18:33.294
  • He's gonna come in his father's glory with his angels.
  • 00:18:33.294 --> 00:18:37.999
  • We've got one scene in the book of revelation where there's
  • 00:18:37.999 --> 00:18:40.535
  • 100 million.
  • 00:18:40.535 --> 00:18:41.903
  • He's coming back with a show, folks.
  • 00:18:41.903 --> 00:18:44.872
  • And then, here's the promise, he will reward each person
  • 00:18:44.872 --> 00:18:51.179
  • According to what he has done.
  • 00:18:51.179 --> 00:18:54.815
  • What's jesus interested in?
  • 00:18:54.815 --> 00:18:57.518
  • Well, he said he was building his church.
  • 00:18:57.518 --> 00:19:00.354
  • And he's coming back in his father's glory to reward each
  • 00:19:00.354 --> 00:19:04.525
  • Person according to what he has done.
  • 00:19:04.525 --> 00:19:06.594
  • Well, how do you get in the line to get a reward?
  • 00:19:06.594 --> 00:19:10.131
  • Well, you have to be born again.
  • 00:19:10.131 --> 00:19:12.200
  • But the beginning of that passage, you know, the bummer
  • 00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:14.635
  • Part of the passage?
  • 00:19:14.635 --> 00:19:18.472
  • Those are the conditions.
  • 00:19:18.472 --> 00:19:20.708
  • If you want to be rewarded, go back to verse 24: "if anyone
  • 00:19:20.708 --> 00:19:24.412
  • Would come after me, he must deny himself."
  • 00:19:24.412 --> 00:19:29.350
  • Well, why would you deny yourself?
  • 00:19:29.350 --> 00:19:31.719
  • Because when jesus comes back with a demonstration of all the
  • 00:19:31.719 --> 00:19:35.189
  • Power of the kingdom of god, he'll reward you for it, amen.
  • 00:19:35.189 --> 00:19:42.797
  • Why would i satisfy my temporary nature?
  • 00:19:42.797 --> 00:19:45.666
  • It changes with the weather.
  • 00:19:45.666 --> 00:19:49.136
  • It changes based on what somebody says is fashionable,
  • 00:19:49.136 --> 00:19:52.006
  • Who's applauding or who's hissing.
  • 00:19:52.006 --> 00:19:55.176
  • But i can please jesus, and he will reward me if i'll say no to
  • 00:19:55.176 --> 00:19:59.480
  • My old carnal self and say yes to him.
  • 00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:03.284
  • He said, "if you want to save your life, you'll lose it.
  • 00:20:03.284 --> 00:20:05.586
  • But if you'll lose your life for me."
  • 00:20:05.586 --> 00:20:07.521
  • Lord, what can i do to invest my life in what you're doing?
  • 00:20:07.521 --> 00:20:11.392
  • How can i be a part?
  • 00:20:11.392 --> 00:20:12.727
  • I may have a job as a butcher, a baker, or a candlestick maker,
  • 00:20:12.727 --> 00:20:16.163
  • But i'm gonna be a butcher for jesus, a candlestick maker
  • 00:20:16.163 --> 00:20:18.833
  • For jesus.
  • 00:20:18.833 --> 00:20:20.534
  • I'm gonna be a baker that tells people about the bosch.
  • 00:20:20.534 --> 00:20:26.540
  • "well, you might lose a sale because somebody might--"
  • 00:20:26.540 --> 00:20:28.442
  • That's okay.
  • 00:20:28.442 --> 00:20:29.777
  • I'm gonna get rewarded. it's a promise.
  • 00:20:29.777 --> 00:20:35.650
  • Are you living like the promises are true?
  • 00:20:35.650 --> 00:20:38.419
  • Are you living like you got your ticket for heaven punched and
  • 00:20:38.419 --> 00:20:40.821
  • You hope jesus gives you what you want today?
  • 00:20:40.821 --> 00:20:44.325
  • He's building a church, he's dispensing wisdom.
  • 00:20:44.325 --> 00:20:49.764
  • He's planning his return trip with all the angels and the
  • 00:20:49.764 --> 00:20:54.335
  • Rewards he's bringing.
  • 00:20:54.335 --> 00:20:55.703
  • That's better than santa.
  • 00:20:55.703 --> 00:20:59.140
  • And we get this perverse false gospel that says, you know, it's
  • 00:20:59.140 --> 00:21:02.109
  • About giving me what i want, when i want it, the way i want,
  • 00:21:02.109 --> 00:21:04.478
  • No, no, no, let's decide we'll deny ourselves and serve
  • 00:21:04.478 --> 00:21:07.581
  • The lord.
  • 00:21:07.581 --> 00:21:12.687
  • What a promise.
  • 00:21:12.687 --> 00:21:15.189
  • What a promise, he's coming back.
  • 00:21:15.189 --> 00:21:18.092
  • Remember, john, in the book of revelation, i'll quit with this.
  • 00:21:18.092 --> 00:21:23.164
  • John is--he's a prisoner on the isle of patmos.
  • 00:21:23.164 --> 00:21:27.234
  • Most or many scholars say he was probably working in the copper
  • 00:21:27.234 --> 00:21:29.970
  • Mines, hard labor, an old man.
  • 00:21:29.970 --> 00:21:34.141
  • And he's in that place because of his testimony for jesus, not
  • 00:21:34.141 --> 00:21:37.545
  • Because he was a thief or a murderer.
  • 00:21:37.545 --> 00:21:42.083
  • And it says on the lord's day, he was in the spirit.
  • 00:21:42.083 --> 00:21:46.854
  • He wasn't in grief.
  • 00:21:46.854 --> 00:21:49.290
  • He wasn't in the dumps.
  • 00:21:49.290 --> 00:21:52.360
  • He was in the spirit.
  • 00:21:52.360 --> 00:21:54.695
  • And he heard a voice.
  • 00:21:54.695 --> 00:22:01.802
  • And he describes the voice.
  • 00:22:01.802 --> 00:22:05.039
  • And he turned to see, and it's jesus.
  • 00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:11.345
  • It's in revelation 1, and john fell at his feet like a
  • 00:22:11.345 --> 00:22:16.751
  • Dead man.
  • 00:22:16.751 --> 00:22:19.720
  • It's been decades since he's seen jesus.
  • 00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:24.125
  • He stood at the foot of the cross, and jesus gave him the
  • 00:22:24.125 --> 00:22:27.128
  • Assignment of mary.
  • 00:22:27.128 --> 00:22:30.765
  • And now he's an old man and his peer group are all gone.
  • 00:22:30.765 --> 00:22:33.934
  • They've all been martyred.
  • 00:22:33.934 --> 00:22:36.203
  • And john's doing hard labor.
  • 00:22:36.203 --> 00:22:40.307
  • Humiliating.
  • 00:22:40.307 --> 00:22:42.543
  • And on the lord's day, he sees jesus.
  • 00:22:42.543 --> 00:22:49.650
  • And he doesn't say, "well, it's about time."
  • 00:22:49.650 --> 00:22:55.823
  • He fell at his feet like a dead man.
  • 00:22:55.823 --> 00:23:01.896
  • It says jesus put his hand on him and said, "i'm the
  • 00:23:01.896 --> 00:23:03.898
  • Living one.
  • 00:23:03.898 --> 00:23:05.766
  • I was alive and i was dead and i'm alive forevermore.
  • 00:23:05.766 --> 00:23:09.503
  • And i got the keys.
  • 00:23:09.503 --> 00:23:12.473
  • I'm the head of the church, son.
  • 00:23:12.473 --> 00:23:15.409
  • This is gonna work out for you."
  • 00:23:15.409 --> 00:23:18.179
  • I brought you a story that i need you to write down.
  • 00:23:18.179 --> 00:23:24.852
  • Oh, you will not regret what you do for the lord.
  • 00:23:24.852 --> 00:23:28.255
  • You won't regret the time you invest, the hours you serve, the
  • 00:23:28.255 --> 00:23:31.892
  • Dollars you give, the sacrifices you make, the times when you say
  • 00:23:31.892 --> 00:23:35.763
  • No to yourself.
  • 00:23:35.763 --> 00:23:38.833
  • You may be in the moment a battle.
  • 00:23:38.833 --> 00:23:41.502
  • But there'll be a day come when you'll fall on your face
  • 00:23:41.502 --> 00:23:44.371
  • Before him.
  • 00:23:44.371 --> 00:23:46.440
  • And we won't be complaining because the traffic was bad,
  • 00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:51.612
  • Or whatever.
  • 00:23:51.612 --> 00:23:54.148
  • Begin to purposefully make the promises yours, intentionally,
  • 00:23:54.148 --> 00:24:01.722
  • Daily, as a part of a training regimen.
  • 00:24:01.722 --> 00:24:05.259
  • "god, give me your wisdom.
  • 00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:07.828
  • God, show me today where i can deny myself and give you a
  • 00:24:07.828 --> 00:24:12.533
  • Greater place.
  • 00:24:12.533 --> 00:24:14.835
  • Jesus, i want to cooperate with you."
  • 00:24:14.835 --> 00:24:18.706
  • If you don't know what else to do, start to pray for
  • 00:24:18.706 --> 00:24:20.708
  • The church.
  • 00:24:20.708 --> 00:24:22.510
  • Use the authority of jesus's name.
  • 00:24:22.510 --> 00:24:24.345
  • "god, bring life to your church, a voice to your church, vitality
  • 00:24:24.345 --> 00:24:28.315
  • To your church."
  • 00:24:28.315 --> 00:24:30.317
  • Welcome the gift of the holy spirit, cooperate with him.
  • 00:24:30.317 --> 00:24:34.288
  • That's just a sampling of the promises.
  • 00:24:34.288 --> 00:24:36.223
  • They're your inheritance.
  • 00:24:36.223 --> 00:24:38.526
  • Everything you need for life and godliness.
  • 00:24:38.526 --> 00:24:42.696
  • What an amazing, amazing future.
  • 00:24:42.696 --> 00:24:45.633
  • More transformational than some piece of geography.
  • 00:24:45.633 --> 00:24:49.570
  • There's an opponent, there's an adversary.
  • 00:24:49.570 --> 00:24:53.474
  • They regularly bomb israel.
  • 00:24:53.474 --> 00:24:56.176
  • And the enemy will regularly try to disrupt the promises of god
  • 00:24:56.176 --> 00:24:59.246
  • In your life.
  • 00:24:59.246 --> 00:25:00.581
  • Don't let him.
  • 00:25:00.581 --> 00:25:03.083
  • I wanna pray with you.
  • 00:25:03.083 --> 00:25:04.418
  • I gotta hush, stand up.
  • 00:25:04.418 --> 00:25:07.855
  • There'll be nursery workers streaming through the back doors
  • 00:25:07.855 --> 00:25:10.124
  • In just a moment.
  • 00:25:10.124 --> 00:25:18.232
  • Father, i know your promises are yes to us in jesus, and we come
  • 00:25:18.232 --> 00:25:22.336
  • Tonight to say we believe, we choose you.
  • 00:25:22.336 --> 00:25:25.973
  • We wanna join you in what you're doing in the earth.
  • 00:25:25.973 --> 00:25:28.075
  • We want to yield ourselves, our bodies, our soul, our spirit.
  • 00:25:28.075 --> 00:25:31.745
  • We want to cooperate with you.
  • 00:25:31.745 --> 00:25:34.415
  • May we not be distracted or turned aside.
  • 00:25:34.415 --> 00:25:36.617
  • May we not be discouraged or overwhelmed.
  • 00:25:36.617 --> 00:25:40.254
  • May we not grow weary in doing good.
  • 00:25:40.254 --> 00:25:43.557
  • Help us to encourage one another, to admonish one
  • 00:25:43.557 --> 00:25:47.595
  • Another, to walk together to the best that you have so that when
  • 00:25:47.595 --> 00:25:52.099
  • Our days are spent and our strength is small, your response
  • 00:25:52.099 --> 00:25:56.337
  • To each of us may be, "well done."
  • 00:25:56.337 --> 00:25:59.340
  • We thank you for that in jesus's name, amen.
  • 00:25:59.340 --> 00:26:04.111
  • Hallelujah, god bless you.
  • 00:26:04.111 --> 00:26:12.519
  • Allen: hey, i got a question.
  • 00:26:16.190 --> 00:26:17.558
  • What's the eternal breath of life?
  • 00:26:17.558 --> 00:26:20.227
  • Well, the answer is a new book my dad just wrote.
  • 00:26:20.227 --> 00:26:22.663
  • When i sat down to do a podcast with him and i was listening to
  • 00:26:22.663 --> 00:26:25.466
  • His story about how god had moved in his life and my
  • 00:26:25.466 --> 00:26:28.369
  • Family's life all the way up to the beginning of the church that
  • 00:26:28.369 --> 00:26:30.738
  • I've served now for several decades, i was so reminded of
  • 00:26:30.738 --> 00:26:34.341
  • The purpose and the power of the spirit of god in our lives, i
  • 00:26:34.341 --> 00:26:37.311
  • Asked him to put it in a book.
  • 00:26:37.311 --> 00:26:38.946
  • That's what we're sharing with you.
  • 00:26:38.946 --> 00:26:40.648
  • We all need god's help, we all face challenges.
  • 00:26:40.648 --> 00:26:43.150
  • Life's not easy no matter who you are, but the spirit of god
  • 00:26:43.150 --> 00:26:46.153
  • Is present within us to bring the power and purposes of god to
  • 00:26:46.153 --> 00:26:50.624
  • Bear in our lives.
  • 00:26:50.624 --> 00:26:52.259
  • I believe the book will be a blessing with--for you.
  • 00:26:52.259 --> 00:26:54.962
  • You'll pair it with "unleashing the power of the holy spirit."
  • 00:26:54.962 --> 00:26:57.898
  • It's one of the most effective tools we have.
  • 00:26:57.898 --> 00:27:00.034
  • It'll give you a pathway that i believe will bring god's best
  • 00:27:00.034 --> 00:27:03.437
  • Into your family.
  • 00:27:03.437 --> 00:27:04.805
  • You may not plant a church, but you have been given the
  • 00:27:04.805 --> 00:27:06.974
  • Assignment as an ambassador for the kingdom of god, and we need
  • 00:27:06.974 --> 00:27:10.110
  • The help of the holy spirit.
  • 00:27:10.110 --> 00:27:11.812
  • Enjoy the book.
  • 00:27:11.812 --> 00:27:27.394
