  • And now he has given us an assignment.
  • 00:00:01.064 --> 00:00:03.599
  • And that assignment is to spread the gospel all over the world.
  • 00:00:03.599 --> 00:00:08.137
  • So today we get to celebrate jesus.
  • 00:00:08.137 --> 00:00:11.374
  • God would rather you be real with him
  • 00:00:11.374 --> 00:00:14.477
  • And say you're struggling with your faith
  • 00:00:14.477 --> 00:00:16.412
  • Than to walk into church
  • 00:00:16.412 --> 00:00:17.513
  • Every sunday pretending you got it going on.
  • 00:00:17.513 --> 00:00:20.850
  • Because you can fool people.
  • 00:00:20.850 --> 00:00:22.185
  • You can't fool god.
  • 00:00:22.185 --> 00:00:23.653
  • You can smile to people.
  • 00:00:23.653 --> 00:00:24.987
  • God sees brokenness on the inside.
  • 00:00:24.987 --> 00:00:26.556
  • He's telling you over and over again,
  • 00:00:26.556 --> 00:00:27.924
  • When are you going to run to me?
  • 00:00:27.924 --> 00:00:31.461
  • Today i had the incredible experience
  • 00:00:32.395 --> 00:00:35.364
  • To be able to meet many of you
  • 00:00:35.364 --> 00:00:38.101
  • And to meet and hear your testimonies
  • 00:00:38.101 --> 00:00:41.070
  • And the things that you have been through
  • 00:00:41.070 --> 00:00:42.472
  • And the moments that god has spoken directly into your life.
  • 00:00:42.472 --> 00:00:47.243
  • And so many of you have shared with me
  • 00:00:47.243 --> 00:00:49.212
  • How this church right here has changed your life.
  • 00:00:49.212 --> 00:00:53.649
  • But i want to say this very clearly god
  • 00:00:53.649 --> 00:00:55.952
  • Was meeting with you.
  • 00:00:55.952 --> 00:00:57.920
  • Jesus was meeting with you.
  • 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.256
  • He just knew how to use the sermons
  • 00:01:00.256 --> 00:01:02.492
  • Being preached out of this house
  • 00:01:02.492 --> 00:01:03.993
  • To reach you at the right time,
  • 00:01:03.993 --> 00:01:05.828
  • But he always had a plan for you.
  • 00:01:05.828 --> 00:01:09.265
  • He was always there, and he understood your heart
  • 00:01:09.265 --> 00:01:12.301
  • And the times you
  • 00:01:12.802 --> 00:01:14.170
  • Felt abandoned, and the things that you have been through.
  • 00:01:14.170 --> 00:01:17.206
  • Are you ready to meet with god?
  • 00:01:17.206 --> 00:01:19.842
  • And again, let me ask you this.
  • 00:01:19.842 --> 00:01:20.943
  • Do you feel his presence in this room? yes.
  • 00:01:20.943 --> 00:01:23.312
  • Turn to somebody next you and say, god is here.
  • 00:01:23.312 --> 00:01:26.249
  • God is here.
  • 00:01:26.249 --> 00:01:27.517
  • Now turn to the other person you didn't want to talk to
  • 00:01:27.517 --> 00:01:28.951
  • Because maybe you didn't know them.
  • 00:01:28.951 --> 00:01:30.386
  • And it's a little bit awkward.
  • 00:01:30.386 --> 00:01:31.521
  • And tell them, hey, god is here for you too.
  • 00:01:31.521 --> 00:01:33.723
  • God is here for you too.
  • 00:01:33.723 --> 00:01:35.491
  • By the way, you all look lovely tonight.
  • 00:01:35.491 --> 00:01:37.593
  • Look at this room. just look around right here.
  • 00:01:37.593 --> 00:01:39.028
  • This is a miracle.
  • 00:01:39.028 --> 00:01:40.263
  • Okay. y'all see this?
  • 00:01:40.263 --> 00:01:42.165
  • Y'all see this?
  • 00:01:42.165 --> 00:01:43.699
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:01:44.100 --> 00:01:47.136
  • Here's what the lord placed in my heart tonight.
  • 00:01:47.136 --> 00:01:48.871
  • This message of mine is going to be different.
  • 00:01:48.871 --> 00:01:51.874
  • It's going to be different.
  • 00:01:51.874 --> 00:01:53.943
  • I am fully relying on the lord to bring this message,
  • 00:01:53.943 --> 00:01:56.679
  • As i do every sunday.
  • 00:01:56.679 --> 00:01:57.780
  • But there's something special about tonight.
  • 00:01:57.780 --> 00:02:01.150
  • Because the awakening has been a vision in my heart
  • 00:02:01.150 --> 00:02:03.719
  • For a very long time.
  • 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:04.754
  • It's been very heavy for a very long time.
  • 00:02:04.754 --> 00:02:07.490
  • I always thought of the billy graham revivals.
  • 00:02:07.490 --> 00:02:10.526
  • They used to take place in how,
  • 00:02:10.526 --> 00:02:12.461
  • Stadiums were completely packed. why?
  • 00:02:12.461 --> 00:02:14.430
  • Because people were in all of god,
  • 00:02:14.430 --> 00:02:16.566
  • And they wanted to hear about jesus christ.
  • 00:02:16.566 --> 00:02:19.602
  • And i'm looking at our culture,
  • 00:02:19.602 --> 00:02:21.270
  • And i'm like, god, where is that?
  • 00:02:21.270 --> 00:02:24.407
  • They.
  • 00:02:24.407 --> 00:02:25.641
  • When's the last time people really crowded a stadium
  • 00:02:25.641 --> 00:02:27.877
  • To hear about god, to hear about you, to hear
  • 00:02:27.877 --> 00:02:31.514
  • About the amazing gospel that will set us free.
  • 00:02:31.514 --> 00:02:34.951
  • Because the world will never satisfy you,
  • 00:02:34.951 --> 00:02:38.120
  • By the way.
  • 00:02:38.521 --> 00:02:40.189
  • It will never satisfy you.
  • 00:02:40.189 --> 00:02:43.426
  • And here's what the lord spoke to me.
  • 00:02:43.426 --> 00:02:45.528
  • And i remember talking to even pastor kenny clark about this
  • 00:02:45.528 --> 00:02:48.364
  • A while back.
  • 00:02:48.364 --> 00:02:49.565
  • But god said, no, no, no, the revival is coming,
  • 00:02:49.565 --> 00:02:53.369
  • But it's going to look a little bit different this time.
  • 00:02:53.369 --> 00:02:56.105
  • I'm going to reach people all over the world,
  • 00:02:56.105 --> 00:02:58.140
  • And i believe a lot of that is included
  • 00:02:58.140 --> 00:02:59.909
  • With the online ministries that are happening right now.
  • 00:02:59.909 --> 00:03:02.645
  • But my people will be on fire for me again.
  • 00:03:02.645 --> 00:03:05.881
  • And here's what i believe.
  • 00:03:06.515 --> 00:03:07.516
  • I believe for the next generation.
  • 00:03:07.516 --> 00:03:08.851
  • Right now, there's about to be a great revival.
  • 00:03:08.851 --> 00:03:11.354
  • You know why?
  • 00:03:11.354 --> 00:03:11.988
  • Because they're tired.
  • 00:03:11.988 --> 00:03:14.490
  • How many of you are tired of the culture
  • 00:03:14.490 --> 00:03:17.360
  • Coming after your identity?
  • 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.695
  • How many of you are tired of the culture trying to tell you
  • 00:03:19.695 --> 00:03:23.165
  • You gotta own this?
  • 00:03:23.165 --> 00:03:24.400
  • You gotta buy that to have worth in this life. no.
  • 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.069
  • You just need jesus.
  • 00:03:27.069 --> 00:03:29.372
  • The moment you were created, you had worth and value.
  • 00:03:29.372 --> 00:03:32.975
  • And god
  • 00:03:32.975 --> 00:03:35.411
  • Just prayed.
  • 00:03:35.411 --> 00:03:37.280
  • And the lord led me to romans chapter
  • 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.782
  • 13, verse 11, which is.
  • 00:03:39.782 --> 00:03:43.552
  • For instance, weakened.
  • 00:03:44.153 --> 00:03:45.721
  • Now paul is talking to the christian church in rome.
  • 00:03:45.721 --> 00:03:48.924
  • But listen to the wording here.
  • 00:03:48.924 --> 00:03:50.159
  • This is all the more urgent for you to know.
  • 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.096
  • Listen to the word, to hear, to know how late it is.
  • 00:03:54.096 --> 00:03:58.301
  • Time is running out.
  • 00:03:58.801 --> 00:04:01.537
  • Wake up.
  • 00:04:01.537 --> 00:04:03.739
  • You're asleep.
  • 00:04:03.739 --> 00:04:05.441
  • You're not paying attention.
  • 00:04:05.441 --> 00:04:07.143
  • Wake up.
  • 00:04:07.143 --> 00:04:07.943
  • For our salvation is nearer now
  • 00:04:07.943 --> 00:04:10.813
  • Than when we first believed.
  • 00:04:10.813 --> 00:04:14.150
  • Paul is talking to the christian church in rome. why?
  • 00:04:14.150 --> 00:04:17.887
  • Because tensions are starting to get high.
  • 00:04:17.887 --> 00:04:21.590
  • And they're starting to get scared and become afraid.
  • 00:04:21.590 --> 00:04:24.493
  • Who know?
  • 00:04:24.493 --> 00:04:25.628
  • If we shared the gospel, we may be persecuted.
  • 00:04:25.628 --> 00:04:28.297
  • We may be hurt.
  • 00:04:28.764 --> 00:04:29.965
  • They're trying to hurt us and and hunt us down now.
  • 00:04:29.965 --> 00:04:32.568
  • And paul said, listen, no, no, no.
  • 00:04:32.568 --> 00:04:34.036
  • You are called in a time such as this.
  • 00:04:34.036 --> 00:04:36.939
  • You were called in a time such as this
  • 00:04:36.939 --> 00:04:39.275
  • To tell people, yes, jesus is coming back.
  • 00:04:39.275 --> 00:04:42.611
  • He is the lord and savior who died for your sins
  • 00:04:42.611 --> 00:04:45.681
  • Upon the cross.
  • 00:04:45.681 --> 00:04:47.717
  • But paul was telling them this because
  • 00:04:48.684 --> 00:04:51.320
  • He wanted them to wake up.
  • 00:04:51.320 --> 00:04:52.421
  • Let me say it in a different way.
  • 00:04:52.421 --> 00:04:53.789
  • Stop sleepwalking through your faith.
  • 00:04:53.789 --> 00:04:57.193
  • Stop hitting the snooze button on the clock.
  • 00:04:57.193 --> 00:05:00.162
  • Every time god tries to get your attention.
  • 00:05:00.162 --> 00:05:02.031
  • No, god, i'm busy right now.
  • 00:05:02.031 --> 00:05:04.900
  • Right? i got places to be.
  • 00:05:04.900 --> 00:05:06.502
  • I got people to see. i got this date coming up.
  • 00:05:06.502 --> 00:05:08.904
  • God, i'm trying to pursue a relationship.
  • 00:05:08.904 --> 00:05:11.040
  • God's asking you, when's the last time you tried
  • 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.075
  • To pursue a relationship with me?
  • 00:05:13.075 --> 00:05:15.578
  • How many times have you broken your heart over and over
  • 00:05:15.578 --> 00:05:18.481
  • And over again, looking for things that do not complete you?
  • 00:05:18.481 --> 00:05:22.685
  • And so i'm looking at this thing,
  • 00:05:23.552 --> 00:05:24.553
  • And paul is saying it's time to wake up.
  • 00:05:24.553 --> 00:05:27.223
  • And what i love about this, listen, the war and the battle
  • 00:05:27.223 --> 00:05:30.226
  • Is over. your
  • 00:05:30.226 --> 00:05:31.127
  • It's over your it's over your mind.
  • 00:05:32.061 --> 00:05:34.797
  • If the devil can get ahold of your thoughts,
  • 00:05:34.797 --> 00:05:37.833
  • He's winning the battle over your life.
  • 00:05:37.833 --> 00:05:39.935
  • But here's the promise of god. no, no, no.
  • 00:05:39.935 --> 00:05:41.704
  • The spirit of god lives inside of you.
  • 00:05:41.704 --> 00:05:43.606
  • And you can take your mind back tonight.
  • 00:05:43.606 --> 00:05:46.142
  • You can take your mind back right now.
  • 00:05:46.142 --> 00:05:49.211
  • And so that's what paul is saying.
  • 00:05:49.211 --> 00:05:50.346
  • You got to change your perception.
  • 00:05:50.346 --> 00:05:52.114
  • He's saying, i know that the world is bad.
  • 00:05:52.114 --> 00:05:54.750
  • Like i know that there are trials coming your way.
  • 00:05:54.750 --> 00:05:57.119
  • I know that you are
  • 00:05:57.119 --> 00:05:58.521
  • Being attacked in this moment, but you are still being called
  • 00:05:58.521 --> 00:06:02.124
  • By a loving father who will meet you right now.
  • 00:06:02.124 --> 00:06:05.261
  • It is not a time to sit down and hide.
  • 00:06:05.261 --> 00:06:09.799
  • And he's talking to christians that he knows could be killed,
  • 00:06:11.133 --> 00:06:14.970
  • Persecuted, and hurt.
  • 00:06:15.504 --> 00:06:18.574
  • And the burden on my heart is that a lot of us today
  • 00:06:18.574 --> 00:06:20.976
  • Are afraid to share the gospel,
  • 00:06:20.976 --> 00:06:22.812
  • Because the comments that we see online.
  • 00:06:22.812 --> 00:06:24.680
  • I know that they're hurtful,
  • 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.416
  • But give it over to the lord.
  • 00:06:27.416 --> 00:06:29.919
  • We're afraid to tell people about jesus in our workplace
  • 00:06:29.919 --> 00:06:32.488
  • Because we're afraid what might happen to our job.
  • 00:06:32.488 --> 00:06:35.090
  • But do you believe that god can provide a better one?
  • 00:06:35.090 --> 00:06:38.360
  • Do you believe that if god is telling you
  • 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:39.895
  • To witness to somebody, it is that time?
  • 00:06:39.895 --> 00:06:42.264
  • You know how many times
  • 00:06:42.264 --> 00:06:43.999
  • There was a time that i was a waiter in college?
  • 00:06:43.999 --> 00:06:46.569
  • How many of y'all had waited tables before?
  • 00:06:46.569 --> 00:06:48.704
  • How many of you know that it's
  • 00:06:48.704 --> 00:06:49.972
  • One of the craziest jobs you could ever have, right?
  • 00:06:49.972 --> 00:06:53.576
  • And i remember i would come in
  • 00:06:53.576 --> 00:06:55.010
  • Because i was going to bible college at the time,
  • 00:06:55.010 --> 00:06:57.279
  • And they would say, here comes that preacher boy.
  • 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.849
  • Like, here comes that boy.
  • 00:06:59.849 --> 00:07:01.083
  • That's all about jesus and stuff like that.
  • 00:07:01.083 --> 00:07:02.651
  • And i would mess with him.
  • 00:07:02.651 --> 00:07:04.086
  • And i never shoved anything down their throat.
  • 00:07:04.086 --> 00:07:05.821
  • But i always represented jesus. he's good.
  • 00:07:05.821 --> 00:07:08.591
  • He loves you.
  • 00:07:08.591 --> 00:07:10.092
  • My manager at the time was an atheist,
  • 00:07:10.092 --> 00:07:13.429
  • And she didn't believe at all.
  • 00:07:13.429 --> 00:07:15.331
  • But i still proclaimed jesus every single day.
  • 00:07:15.331 --> 00:07:19.468
  • I wasn't afraid to get in trouble.
  • 00:07:19.468 --> 00:07:20.736
  • Here's what happened. here's what happened. it's so cool.
  • 00:07:20.736 --> 00:07:22.638
  • On days when people were going through some stuff,
  • 00:07:22.638 --> 00:07:25.841
  • Going through some trials,
  • 00:07:25.841 --> 00:07:27.243
  • The same people that used to make fun of me
  • 00:07:27.243 --> 00:07:29.645
  • Now came up to me and said, hey, can i have some advice?
  • 00:07:29.645 --> 00:07:32.281
  • You ever had that happen before?
  • 00:07:33.015 --> 00:07:34.850
  • The same people
  • 00:07:34.850 --> 00:07:36.252
  • Who are calling you names will come to you and ask
  • 00:07:36.252 --> 00:07:40.089
  • How to receive what you have in your life,
  • 00:07:40.089 --> 00:07:44.260
  • Because they see something different in you.
  • 00:07:44.260 --> 00:07:45.928
  • It is time to wake up
  • 00:07:45.928 --> 00:07:48.364
  • In a time such as this,
  • 00:07:48.364 --> 00:07:51.033
  • To share the love of the good father and look at what
  • 00:07:51.033 --> 00:07:52.868
  • Paul said again.
  • 00:07:52.868 --> 00:07:53.869
  • He said, do you know how late it is?
  • 00:07:53.869 --> 00:07:57.273
  • The time is running out.
  • 00:07:57.873 --> 00:07:59.808
  • In other words, check the clock.
  • 00:07:59.808 --> 00:08:02.444
  • Have you even looked at the time?
  • 00:08:02.444 --> 00:08:04.146
  • It's sooner than you think and we're just
  • 00:08:04.146 --> 00:08:07.216
  • Getting closer and closer to the return of jesus.
  • 00:08:07.216 --> 00:08:10.519
  • And i don't know about you, but i'm excited.
  • 00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:14.924
  • Because a lot of people, when i said,
  • 00:08:15.824 --> 00:08:17.192
  • I said last week to our church, i said, a lot of people say,
  • 00:08:17.192 --> 00:08:19.094
  • You know, i don't like this stuff.
  • 00:08:19.094 --> 00:08:20.396
  • I don't like in this type of stuff
  • 00:08:20.396 --> 00:08:21.931
  • Because i get afraid of like,
  • 00:08:21.931 --> 00:08:23.332
  • The antichrist and all those things.
  • 00:08:23.332 --> 00:08:24.667
  • Listen, the story doesn't end with the antichrist.
  • 00:08:24.667 --> 00:08:28.037
  • The story ends with jesus.
  • 00:08:28.671 --> 00:08:31.040
  • Like that's the end of the story.
  • 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:32.575
  • We get to dwell with him and the kingdom forever.
  • 00:08:32.575 --> 00:08:35.978
  • New heaven, new earth with him forever.
  • 00:08:35.978 --> 00:08:38.213
  • There will be no more tears, no more pain, no more death.
  • 00:08:38.213 --> 00:08:43.586
  • Just be with jesus.
  • 00:08:44.119 --> 00:08:46.622
  • But check the clock.
  • 00:08:46.622 --> 00:08:49.024
  • See, jesus saved you by his blood.
  • 00:08:49.024 --> 00:08:50.993
  • Not so that you can just sit and hide.
  • 00:08:50.993 --> 00:08:54.630
  • That's what paul is telling this church in rome.
  • 00:08:54.630 --> 00:08:57.566
  • And so i thought about this message, and i was
  • 00:08:57.566 --> 00:09:00.002
  • Thinking about this scripture, and i was praying over you guys.
  • 00:09:00.002 --> 00:09:02.004
  • I said, god, god, how can i get them to wake up?
  • 00:09:02.004 --> 00:09:05.708
  • Like, i've seen you in my life so many different times,
  • 00:09:06.942 --> 00:09:09.478
  • But how can i show people that you are real
  • 00:09:09.478 --> 00:09:12.781
  • And amazing and see the glory of god?
  • 00:09:12.781 --> 00:09:15.618
  • And so here's what i put on my heart as well.
  • 00:09:15.618 --> 00:09:17.586
  • It's a lot of people don't know what the glory of god is.
  • 00:09:17.586 --> 00:09:21.256
  • We know the phrase, we don't really know the definition.
  • 00:09:21.256 --> 00:09:24.093
  • Did you know the glory of god
  • 00:09:24.093 --> 00:09:25.427
  • Actually represents the weight of god's presence?
  • 00:09:25.427 --> 00:09:28.864
  • But there's a weight to holiness.
  • 00:09:29.665 --> 00:09:32.267
  • There's a heaviness in the room when you feel god's presence,
  • 00:09:32.267 --> 00:09:35.704
  • But it's also a consuming fire.
  • 00:09:35.704 --> 00:09:38.907
  • It's protection. it's provision.
  • 00:09:38.907 --> 00:09:41.377
  • It's direction.
  • 00:09:41.377 --> 00:09:42.778
  • It's the presence of the holy god who led the israelites
  • 00:09:42.778 --> 00:09:46.582
  • Through the wilderness.
  • 00:09:46.582 --> 00:09:47.549
  • He will still lead you today.
  • 00:09:47.549 --> 00:09:51.020
  • But you got to know his voice.
  • 00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.957
  • Glory of god.
  • 00:09:54.957 --> 00:09:55.724
  • It's a mountaintop experience.
  • 00:09:55.724 --> 00:09:58.894
  • We talked a little bit about that today in a podcast session,
  • 00:09:58.894 --> 00:10:02.464
  • Because i'm seeing in this world,
  • 00:10:03.332 --> 00:10:04.767
  • See that there's a counterfeit mountaintop.
  • 00:10:04.767 --> 00:10:08.037
  • There's a mountaintop in the bible,
  • 00:10:08.037 --> 00:10:09.271
  • But there's also a counterfeit in this world.
  • 00:10:09.271 --> 00:10:11.040
  • And the world will tell you, you gotta have all these things.
  • 00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:13.175
  • And i'm seeing so many people gather
  • 00:10:13.175 --> 00:10:14.977
  • These things in their life,
  • 00:10:14.977 --> 00:10:16.145
  • And then they hit depression on the mountain.
  • 00:10:16.145 --> 00:10:18.681
  • You know, i don't see that in the bible.
  • 00:10:18.681 --> 00:10:21.183
  • When you're following jesus and have a mountaintop experience,
  • 00:10:21.183 --> 00:10:24.053
  • It changes your life. and so i want to show you this.
  • 00:10:24.053 --> 00:10:26.789
  • I want you to picture one of the most glorious
  • 00:10:26.789 --> 00:10:28.357
  • Wake up moments in the bible.
  • 00:10:28.357 --> 00:10:30.659
  • If you have your bibles, you can turn to mark chapter nine.
  • 00:10:30.659 --> 00:10:33.262
  • If you don't, the scripture will be on the screen as well.
  • 00:10:33.262 --> 00:10:36.632
  • Mark chapter nine, verse two through eight
  • 00:10:36.632 --> 00:10:39.568
  • And it states, listen to this.
  • 00:10:39.568 --> 00:10:41.503
  • Six days after jesus took peter, james, and john
  • 00:10:41.503 --> 00:10:45.474
  • And led them up a high mountain to be alone, has the men watch,
  • 00:10:45.474 --> 00:10:49.378
  • Listen to this.
  • 00:10:49.378 --> 00:10:50.345
  • Jesus's appearance was transformed
  • 00:10:50.345 --> 00:10:53.882
  • And his clothes became dazzling white,
  • 00:10:53.882 --> 00:10:56.719
  • Far wider than any earthly bleach could ever make them.
  • 00:10:56.719 --> 00:11:00.456
  • Now listen to this.
  • 00:11:00.989 --> 00:11:02.324
  • Elijah and moses had been dead for a long time,
  • 00:11:02.324 --> 00:11:04.593
  • Or elijah was caught up.
  • 00:11:04.593 --> 00:11:05.994
  • But moses had been dead for a long time, and so did elijah.
  • 00:11:05.994 --> 00:11:08.831
  • And moses appeared and began talking with jesus.
  • 00:11:08.831 --> 00:11:13.469
  • Can you imagine
  • 00:11:13.469 --> 00:11:15.137
  • I only moses?
  • 00:11:15.537 --> 00:11:17.873
  • I'm here with jesus on a mountaintop,
  • 00:11:17.873 --> 00:11:20.375
  • And this guy died, but he's still here,
  • 00:11:20.375 --> 00:11:22.945
  • And this guy disappeared and he's here.
  • 00:11:22.945 --> 00:11:25.380
  • I see in the prophets right before me.
  • 00:11:25.380 --> 00:11:27.382
  • And so they're looking at jesus.
  • 00:11:27.382 --> 00:11:28.951
  • This is called the transfiguration.
  • 00:11:28.951 --> 00:11:30.853
  • And peter exclaimed, rabbi, it's
  • 00:11:30.853 --> 00:11:33.522
  • Wonderful for us to be here.
  • 00:11:33.522 --> 00:11:36.692
  • Let's make three shelters as memorials.
  • 00:11:36.692 --> 00:11:39.094
  • One for you, one for moses, one for elijah.
  • 00:11:39.094 --> 00:11:42.531
  • Now, i think this is funny
  • 00:11:42.531 --> 00:11:43.999
  • Because if you read the next
  • 00:11:43.999 --> 00:11:45.033
  • Verse, here's what it states very clearly.
  • 00:11:45.033 --> 00:11:46.769
  • He said this because he really didn't know what to say.
  • 00:11:46.769 --> 00:11:49.905
  • You know what the bible was saying?
  • 00:11:49.905 --> 00:11:50.973
  • Be quiet peter, they shut your mouth.
  • 00:11:50.973 --> 00:11:53.575
  • You got a friend like that?
  • 00:11:53.575 --> 00:11:54.843
  • They're like, just because it's awkward.
  • 00:11:54.843 --> 00:11:56.145
  • They just keep talking and you want to be like,
  • 00:11:56.145 --> 00:11:57.813
  • What's your mouth like? you're making it worse.
  • 00:11:57.813 --> 00:11:59.982
  • Peter's saying all these things
  • 00:11:59.982 --> 00:12:01.283
  • Because he's seeing the glory of god on the mountaintop,
  • 00:12:01.283 --> 00:12:04.286
  • The transfiguration.
  • 00:12:04.286 --> 00:12:05.187
  • It is an amazing sight.
  • 00:12:05.187 --> 00:12:07.222
  • And i believe that there was a peace
  • 00:12:08.123 --> 00:12:10.259
  • And you get the heaviness of god.
  • 00:12:10.259 --> 00:12:12.561
  • But it also says that they were terrified.
  • 00:12:12.561 --> 00:12:14.196
  • You know, we miss that about the holiness of god.
  • 00:12:14.196 --> 00:12:18.033
  • Why do you fear this world instead of god?
  • 00:12:18.033 --> 00:12:21.904
  • Because when you're saying, no, no, no,
  • 00:12:21.904 --> 00:12:23.071
  • I'm so afraid to talk about jesus,
  • 00:12:23.071 --> 00:12:25.140
  • And i'm so afraid to live my life for jesus.
  • 00:12:25.140 --> 00:12:27.142
  • And what if this happens? and what if this comes after me?
  • 00:12:27.142 --> 00:12:29.645
  • Then you're declaring that you fear the demons of this world
  • 00:12:29.645 --> 00:12:32.347
  • Instead of the almighty god.
  • 00:12:32.347 --> 00:12:33.615
  • Do you realize that because you're actually speaking
  • 00:12:33.615 --> 00:12:36.752
  • Against his holiness, the bible says to fear the lord?
  • 00:12:36.752 --> 00:12:41.790
  • That is the only one you fear.
  • 00:12:41.790 --> 00:12:43.525
  • Fear the lord and all in respect of god
  • 00:12:43.525 --> 00:12:47.095
  • Because he is mighty and it just judge.
  • 00:12:47.095 --> 00:12:49.431
  • But they were all terrified on the mountaintop,
  • 00:12:50.532 --> 00:12:53.035
  • And then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud
  • 00:12:53.035 --> 00:12:56.605
  • Said, now can you imagine what the voice sounded like?
  • 00:12:56.605 --> 00:12:59.942
  • I'm gonna try my best here.
  • 00:12:59.942 --> 00:13:01.043
  • This is my dearly beloved son.
  • 00:13:01.043 --> 00:13:03.312
  • I don't know if that was good at all.
  • 00:13:03.312 --> 00:13:04.413
  • So let's let's go back to my regular voice.
  • 00:13:04.413 --> 00:13:06.281
  • This is my dearly beloved son.
  • 00:13:06.281 --> 00:13:09.151
  • I'm never trying that again. all right,
  • 00:13:09.151 --> 00:13:11.954
  • Listen to him.
  • 00:13:11.954 --> 00:13:14.857
  • Also think that's funny because again, peter
  • 00:13:14.857 --> 00:13:16.325
  • Was talking so much, he's like, no, no, no, you listen,
  • 00:13:16.325 --> 00:13:19.261
  • Listen to him.
  • 00:13:19.261 --> 00:13:20.295
  • Suddenly when they looked around, moses
  • 00:13:20.295 --> 00:13:22.464
  • And elijah were gone and they saw only jesus with them.
  • 00:13:22.464 --> 00:13:26.602
  • Have any of you ever had a mountaintop experience?
  • 00:13:26.602 --> 00:13:30.606
  • Okay, where were you just encountered
  • 00:13:31.540 --> 00:13:33.642
  • The presence of god, like you felt his heaviness.
  • 00:13:33.642 --> 00:13:36.879
  • You came in with addiction
  • 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:38.714
  • And you felt the addiction being ripped from you.
  • 00:13:38.714 --> 00:13:42.150
  • You came in with pain and hurt or maybe pride.
  • 00:13:42.150 --> 00:13:45.587
  • Or maybe you're so angry at somebody who hurt you
  • 00:13:45.587 --> 00:13:48.257
  • A long time ago, you don't know how to deal with it.
  • 00:13:48.257 --> 00:13:50.459
  • And god just met you right now.
  • 00:13:50.459 --> 00:13:53.061
  • This is the presence of god.
  • 00:13:53.695 --> 00:13:54.730
  • This is also the mountaintop experience.
  • 00:13:54.730 --> 00:13:57.432
  • And so here's what happens, especially within conferences.
  • 00:13:57.432 --> 00:14:00.102
  • We had this mountaintop experience,
  • 00:14:00.102 --> 00:14:02.537
  • And we're like, god, have all of me.
  • 00:14:02.537 --> 00:14:04.406
  • I want to be with you for an eternity.
  • 00:14:04.406 --> 00:14:06.608
  • I love you so much.
  • 00:14:06.608 --> 00:14:08.043
  • Thank you. jesus.
  • 00:14:08.043 --> 00:14:10.112
  • But we live in this world.
  • 00:14:10.112 --> 00:14:13.282
  • And even in this story
  • 00:14:13.282 --> 00:14:14.316
  • That had to come down the mountaintop.
  • 00:14:14.316 --> 00:14:17.719
  • You realize that in the story.
  • 00:14:17.719 --> 00:14:20.889
  • See, we will dwell on the mountaintop
  • 00:14:20.889 --> 00:14:22.658
  • In the kingdom of heaven.
  • 00:14:22.658 --> 00:14:24.493
  • That's where we dwell on the mountaintop forever.
  • 00:14:24.493 --> 00:14:27.529
  • But in this world, please listen.
  • 00:14:27.529 --> 00:14:29.331
  • You're going to live most of your life in the valleys.
  • 00:14:29.331 --> 00:14:33.602
  • You're going to live for most of your life in the trials.
  • 00:14:33.602 --> 00:14:37.072
  • Most of your life is going to be fighting for your faith.
  • 00:14:37.072 --> 00:14:40.075
  • Please listen to that.
  • 00:14:40.075 --> 00:14:41.510
  • You're actually fighting for your faith.
  • 00:14:41.510 --> 00:14:43.478
  • God, i don't know if i have what it takes to make it through.
  • 00:14:43.478 --> 00:14:46.415
  • You ever felt like that?
  • 00:14:46.415 --> 00:14:48.417
  • So i'm looking at the story
  • 00:14:49.084 --> 00:14:51.119
  • And they had this incredible experience.
  • 00:14:51.119 --> 00:14:53.822
  • And as soon as these men come down, these three men
  • 00:14:53.822 --> 00:14:56.725
  • Come down with jesus.
  • 00:14:56.725 --> 00:14:58.393
  • They encounter pain.
  • 00:14:58.393 --> 00:15:01.830
  • They encounter this pain and and disruption,
  • 00:15:01.830 --> 00:15:04.733
  • And they encounter
  • 00:15:04.733 --> 00:15:06.034
  • Demonic attacks immediately coming from the mountaintop.
  • 00:15:06.034 --> 00:15:09.304
  • Have you experienced that?
  • 00:15:09.304 --> 00:15:11.807
  • As soon as you come out of this, be prepared.
  • 00:15:11.807 --> 00:15:15.344
  • Spiritual warfare is real.
  • 00:15:15.978 --> 00:15:17.479
  • Every single day you fight for your soul.
  • 00:15:17.479 --> 00:15:20.115
  • Every single day you fight for your mind.
  • 00:15:20.115 --> 00:15:22.017
  • But don't you worry, the lord is with you.
  • 00:15:22.017 --> 00:15:24.953
  • He will strengthen you.
  • 00:15:24.953 --> 00:15:26.088
  • He will raise you up. he will fight the devil.
  • 00:15:26.088 --> 00:15:28.790
  • I want you to think of the holy spirit like a bodyguard.
  • 00:15:28.790 --> 00:15:31.126
  • Every time a demon comes up to you,
  • 00:15:31.126 --> 00:15:32.494
  • The holy spirit's like, nah, not today, satan.
  • 00:15:32.494 --> 00:15:35.163
  • You're not going to touch my person.
  • 00:15:35.163 --> 00:15:37.199
  • You're not going to touch him or her today.
  • 00:15:37.199 --> 00:15:40.836
  • But it
  • 00:15:41.136 --> 00:15:42.137
  • Doesn't mean you won't fight demons
  • 00:15:42.137 --> 00:15:44.506
  • Sometimes.
  • 00:15:44.506 --> 00:15:45.807
  • Sometimes you're called to deliver people from demons.
  • 00:15:45.807 --> 00:15:48.176
  • You know, it took me a long time
  • 00:15:48.910 --> 00:15:51.213
  • To realize that ministry
  • 00:15:51.213 --> 00:15:53.882
  • Took me a long time to know the voice of the holy spirit.
  • 00:15:53.882 --> 00:15:57.285
  • But i've realized in the valleys
  • 00:15:58.020 --> 00:15:59.855
  • Is where you encounter conflicts.
  • 00:15:59.855 --> 00:16:03.191
  • Please listen.
  • 00:16:03.191 --> 00:16:04.192
  • You encounter unanswered prayers. god.
  • 00:16:04.192 --> 00:16:09.831
  • Why aren't you doing what i need?
  • 00:16:10.632 --> 00:16:13.935
  • I, god, i've been praying for this over
  • 00:16:13.935 --> 00:16:15.871
  • And over again, and i just.
  • 00:16:15.871 --> 00:16:17.439
  • I just need you to help right now.
  • 00:16:17.439 --> 00:16:18.807
  • God and i just keep believing.
  • 00:16:18.807 --> 00:16:20.208
  • But nothing is really changing in my life.
  • 00:16:20.208 --> 00:16:22.411
  • Sometimes that's when you encounter helpless parents,
  • 00:16:22.411 --> 00:16:25.647
  • Broken people.
  • 00:16:26.081 --> 00:16:28.383
  • Because that's exactly what they encountered in this story.
  • 00:16:28.383 --> 00:16:32.421
  • See what i really want you to see today?
  • 00:16:33.388 --> 00:16:34.823
  • Even though the transfiguration is an amazing story,
  • 00:16:34.823 --> 00:16:37.826
  • I want you to really see chapter nine, verses 14 to 24.
  • 00:16:37.826 --> 00:16:41.830
  • When they came down.
  • 00:16:41.830 --> 00:16:43.698
  • So here's what happened in the rest of the story.
  • 00:16:43.698 --> 00:16:46.568
  • When they returned to the other disciples,
  • 00:16:46.568 --> 00:16:49.404
  • They saw a large crowd surrounding them,
  • 00:16:49.404 --> 00:16:51.907
  • And some teachers of religious law were arguing with them.
  • 00:16:51.907 --> 00:16:56.044
  • They're arguing, okay, jesus left them just for a day or so,
  • 00:16:56.044 --> 00:17:01.716
  • And now they come back and they're arguing.
  • 00:17:01.716 --> 00:17:03.952
  • When the crowd saw jesus, they were overwhelmed with all.
  • 00:17:03.952 --> 00:17:07.522
  • And they ran to greet him.
  • 00:17:07.522 --> 00:17:09.291
  • But he's asking the question, why are you arguing?
  • 00:17:09.291 --> 00:17:12.461
  • What's going on?
  • 00:17:12.928 --> 00:17:17.232
  • One of the men in the crowd
  • 00:17:17.899 --> 00:17:19.067
  • Spoke up and said, teacher.
  • 00:17:19.067 --> 00:17:22.737
  • Here, this teacher.
  • 00:17:23.271 --> 00:17:25.073
  • I brought my son so you could heal him.
  • 00:17:25.073 --> 00:17:28.176
  • He is possessed by an evil spirit
  • 00:17:28.176 --> 00:17:30.912
  • That won't let him talk.
  • 00:17:30.912 --> 00:17:33.381
  • And whenever the spirit seizes him,
  • 00:17:33.381 --> 00:17:36.151
  • It throws him violently to the ground.
  • 00:17:36.151 --> 00:17:38.019
  • Listen to the father's voice here, listen to the description.
  • 00:17:38.019 --> 00:17:41.323
  • And then he foams at the mouth, and he grinds his teeth
  • 00:17:41.323 --> 00:17:45.093
  • And becomes rigid.
  • 00:17:45.093 --> 00:17:45.961
  • So i ask your disciples,
  • 00:17:45.961 --> 00:17:48.263
  • You know the men that are following you,
  • 00:17:48.263 --> 00:17:50.499
  • The men that are right next to you, jesus,
  • 00:17:50.499 --> 00:17:53.068
  • And are with you all the time.
  • 00:17:53.068 --> 00:17:54.503
  • I ask them because i heard about the miracles that you're doing
  • 00:17:54.503 --> 00:17:57.906
  • And what you're doing in so many people's lives.
  • 00:17:57.906 --> 00:18:00.375
  • So i asked you
  • 00:18:00.809 --> 00:18:01.843
  • Disciples to cast out the evil spirits.
  • 00:18:01.843 --> 00:18:04.813
  • But they couldn't do it.
  • 00:18:05.413 --> 00:18:08.350
  • They couldn't do it.
  • 00:18:08.350 --> 00:18:11.453
  • And jesus said to them, now listen to the wording here.
  • 00:18:11.453 --> 00:18:13.555
  • I would love for you to underline this in your bibles.
  • 00:18:13.555 --> 00:18:16.024
  • Jesus said, you faithless people, that is big right there.
  • 00:18:16.024 --> 00:18:19.561
  • Okay, you faithless people,
  • 00:18:19.561 --> 00:18:21.930
  • How long must i put up with you?
  • 00:18:21.930 --> 00:18:25.600
  • How long must i be with you and bring the boy to me?
  • 00:18:25.600 --> 00:18:30.172
  • You gotta love it when jesus says that
  • 00:18:30.172 --> 00:18:32.974
  • When jesus speaks over your life,
  • 00:18:32.974 --> 00:18:34.843
  • You better bring your son to me.
  • 00:18:34.843 --> 00:18:36.511
  • You better bring your son to jesus.
  • 00:18:36.511 --> 00:18:38.947
  • When jesus says, bring your daughter to me,
  • 00:18:38.947 --> 00:18:40.849
  • The bring over your daughter to jesus.
  • 00:18:40.849 --> 00:18:42.617
  • When jesus says, here it is,
  • 00:18:42.617 --> 00:18:45.520
  • When even though it's been hurtful
  • 00:18:45.520 --> 00:18:46.955
  • And you're stubborn over this,
  • 00:18:46.955 --> 00:18:48.023
  • When jesus says, bring me your marriage,
  • 00:18:48.023 --> 00:18:49.858
  • You bring it over to jesus because
  • 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:52.861
  • Jesus can offer a healing that nobody else can offer.
  • 00:18:52.861 --> 00:18:56.198
  • But jesus must be the foundation.
  • 00:18:56.198 --> 00:18:58.967
  • So jesus said again, you faithless people,
  • 00:18:58.967 --> 00:19:01.503
  • How long must i be with you?
  • 00:19:01.503 --> 00:19:02.804
  • How long must have put up with you?
  • 00:19:02.804 --> 00:19:04.005
  • Bring the boy to me.
  • 00:19:04.005 --> 00:19:05.373
  • So they brought the boy.
  • 00:19:05.373 --> 00:19:07.142
  • But when the evil spirit saw jesus.
  • 00:19:07.142 --> 00:19:09.344
  • Now notice this.
  • 00:19:09.344 --> 00:19:10.478
  • It threw the child into a violent convulsion,
  • 00:19:10.478 --> 00:19:13.148
  • And he fell to the floor, writhing and foaming
  • 00:19:13.148 --> 00:19:16.284
  • At the mouth.
  • 00:19:16.284 --> 00:19:20.922
  • Now the miracles about to happen.
  • 00:19:21.790 --> 00:19:25.460
  • But the dad, in this moment
  • 00:19:25.460 --> 00:19:27.262
  • It seems something that he's always seen.
  • 00:19:27.262 --> 00:19:30.665
  • He doesn't know that his son's about to be healed.
  • 00:19:30.665 --> 00:19:33.201
  • In fact, you're about to see that after
  • 00:19:33.201 --> 00:19:35.170
  • This takes place, jesus speaks over him.
  • 00:19:35.170 --> 00:19:37.405
  • It also looks like his son is dead.
  • 00:19:37.405 --> 00:19:40.408
  • See, i believe a lot of times
  • 00:19:41.076 --> 00:19:42.310
  • We call upon jesus and we think, okay,
  • 00:19:42.310 --> 00:19:44.412
  • The miracle is going to be so perfect.
  • 00:19:44.412 --> 00:19:46.147
  • I'm going to receive exactly what i need right now.
  • 00:19:46.147 --> 00:19:48.383
  • But sometimes there's still some tension.
  • 00:19:48.383 --> 00:19:51.453
  • Sometime god waits just a little bit.
  • 00:19:51.453 --> 00:19:53.121
  • How much faith do you have? will you stay,
  • 00:19:53.121 --> 00:19:55.790
  • Or are you going to try to turn around
  • 00:19:55.790 --> 00:19:56.992
  • Because you don't understand what god is doing?
  • 00:19:56.992 --> 00:19:59.761
  • This is a testimony here and everybody's going to see it.
  • 00:19:59.761 --> 00:20:04.032
  • And so here we see this.
  • 00:20:04.633 --> 00:20:06.568
  • How long has this been happening?
  • 00:20:06.568 --> 00:20:07.902
  • Jesus asked the boy's father
  • 00:20:07.902 --> 00:20:10.872
  • And again, listen to the words of
  • 00:20:10.872 --> 00:20:12.007
  • The father since he was a little boy,
  • 00:20:12.007 --> 00:20:15.210
  • And the spirit often throws him into the fire,
  • 00:20:15.210 --> 00:20:18.880
  • Into the water, trying to kill him.
  • 00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:20.348
  • Can you imagine?
  • 00:20:20.348 --> 00:20:24.252
  • Are you broken?
  • 00:20:24.719 --> 00:20:27.956
  • See a lot of parents in the room.
  • 00:20:27.956 --> 00:20:30.925
  • Some of you have asked for prayers over your child because
  • 00:20:30.925 --> 00:20:34.329
  • They've thought about suicide.
  • 00:20:34.329 --> 00:20:37.432
  • Some of you right now in the room,
  • 00:20:37.432 --> 00:20:40.068
  • There have been times the devil has tried
  • 00:20:40.068 --> 00:20:41.903
  • To get inside of your mind to tell you
  • 00:20:41.903 --> 00:20:43.605
  • That you're worthless.
  • 00:20:43.605 --> 00:20:44.639
  • You should just end it today.
  • 00:20:44.639 --> 00:20:47.542
  • That is a lie from the devil.
  • 00:20:47.542 --> 00:20:50.478
  • Healing can still happen.
  • 00:20:50.478 --> 00:20:51.713
  • And let me tell you, every praying
  • 00:20:51.713 --> 00:20:52.981
  • Parent in the room, don't you ever give up praying.
  • 00:20:52.981 --> 00:20:56.017
  • Just because you can't see the miracle today doesn't
  • 00:20:56.017 --> 00:20:58.119
  • Mean it's not coming.
  • 00:20:58.119 --> 00:20:59.754
  • You don't know what god is doing behind the scenes.
  • 00:20:59.754 --> 00:21:02.457
  • Again, the tension may be there, the heaviness may be there.
  • 00:21:02.457 --> 00:21:05.460
  • It may feel like there's still conflict.
  • 00:21:05.460 --> 00:21:07.162
  • But jesus is healing and jesus is doing things,
  • 00:21:07.162 --> 00:21:10.398
  • And you just keep pushing it out.
  • 00:21:10.398 --> 00:21:12.267
  • Every time the demons show up, god sent holy angels.
  • 00:21:12.267 --> 00:21:16.338
  • There's a spiritual
  • 00:21:16.871 --> 00:21:17.739
  • Battle going on.
  • 00:21:17.739 --> 00:21:22.777
  • The dad is really sad.
  • 00:21:23.345 --> 00:21:25.180
  • My son has been so hurt.
  • 00:21:25.180 --> 00:21:26.448
  • He's been thrown into the fire.
  • 00:21:26.448 --> 00:21:28.717
  • The demon tries to drown him.
  • 00:21:28.717 --> 00:21:31.052
  • Have mercy on us and help us now.
  • 00:21:31.052 --> 00:21:33.054
  • Now the dad is being so real.
  • 00:21:33.054 --> 00:21:35.590
  • If you can.
  • 00:21:35.590 --> 00:21:38.960
  • You know, jesus says,
  • 00:21:39.494 --> 00:21:41.396
  • I kind of wonder, like, did jesus smile a little bit?
  • 00:21:41.396 --> 00:21:44.632
  • You know what i mean?
  • 00:21:44.632 --> 00:21:45.300
  • Like, what do you mean?
  • 00:21:45.300 --> 00:21:46.267
  • If i can?
  • 00:21:46.267 --> 00:21:48.970
  • What did you just say?
  • 00:21:48.970 --> 00:21:50.472
  • Did you just say if i can?
  • 00:21:50.472 --> 00:21:51.573
  • Do you know who i am, right?
  • 00:21:51.573 --> 00:21:53.675
  • What do you mean, if i can? jesus asked.
  • 00:21:53.675 --> 00:21:56.010
  • Anything is possible if a person believes. who?
  • 00:21:56.010 --> 00:22:03.017
  • Because we serve the god of the impossible.
  • 00:22:04.052 --> 00:22:06.855
  • What you're seeing right here used to be impossible.
  • 00:22:06.855 --> 00:22:10.091
  • God is working.
  • 00:22:10.558 --> 00:22:11.760
  • So things in your life today, anything is possible.
  • 00:22:11.760 --> 00:22:14.396
  • If a person believes and the father hears, our love
  • 00:22:14.396 --> 00:22:17.832
  • Instantly cried out, i do believe,
  • 00:22:17.832 --> 00:22:22.137
  • But help my way,
  • 00:22:22.604 --> 00:22:24.906
  • My unbelief.
  • 00:22:24.906 --> 00:22:26.007
  • Help me overcome my unbelief.
  • 00:22:26.007 --> 00:22:28.910
  • I want to move by faith, but jesus, it doesn't look good.
  • 00:22:28.910 --> 00:22:33.481
  • I want to trust you with my life, my son,
  • 00:22:34.482 --> 00:22:37.218
  • Who i love so much, but i don't know and i need you.
  • 00:22:37.218 --> 00:22:41.523
  • God would rather you be real with him
  • 00:22:41.523 --> 00:22:44.659
  • And say you're struggling with your faith
  • 00:22:44.659 --> 00:22:46.561
  • Than to walk into church
  • 00:22:46.561 --> 00:22:47.662
  • Every sunday pretending you got it going on.
  • 00:22:47.662 --> 00:22:51.032
  • Because you can fool people.
  • 00:22:51.032 --> 00:22:52.333
  • You can't fool god.
  • 00:22:52.333 --> 00:22:53.802
  • You can smile to people.
  • 00:22:53.802 --> 00:22:55.136
  • God sees brokenness on the inside
  • 00:22:55.136 --> 00:22:56.671
  • And he's telling you over and over again,
  • 00:22:56.671 --> 00:22:58.072
  • When are you going to run to me?
  • 00:22:58.072 --> 00:23:01.276
  • Stop being embarrassed
  • 00:23:01.843 --> 00:23:03.878
  • Over the people around you don't matter your position.
  • 00:23:03.878 --> 00:23:06.848
  • Don't matter what you been doing
  • 00:23:06.848 --> 00:23:08.383
  • In the church or how you've been serving.
  • 00:23:08.383 --> 00:23:09.951
  • Run to me
  • 00:23:09.951 --> 00:23:11.853
  • Because that's how healing comes into your life.
  • 00:23:11.853 --> 00:23:15.190
  • I'm mountaintops,
  • 00:23:15.690 --> 00:23:19.828
  • Valleys.
  • 00:23:20.161 --> 00:23:22.964
  • Us pray god, open our eyes.
  • 00:23:22.964 --> 00:23:25.967
  • Let us be awake. and i feel like.
  • 00:23:25.967 --> 00:23:27.502
  • Here's what the lord revealed to me.
  • 00:23:27.502 --> 00:23:29.170
  • This is why my people would rather stay asleep.
  • 00:23:29.170 --> 00:23:33.274
  • Because they've had these mountaintop experiences.
  • 00:23:34.442 --> 00:23:37.879
  • They have praise the lord.
  • 00:23:37.879 --> 00:23:39.280
  • But they also woke up
  • 00:23:39.280 --> 00:23:40.482
  • In the middle of the night with a panic attack.
  • 00:23:40.482 --> 00:23:43.685
  • They praise jesus and felt set free,
  • 00:23:43.685 --> 00:23:46.688
  • And they knew that they were set free.
  • 00:23:46.688 --> 00:23:48.122
  • But when that old friend called you back
  • 00:23:48.122 --> 00:23:51.025
  • And you wanted to hang out a little bit and there was
  • 00:23:51.025 --> 00:23:52.861
  • Some temptation around you, you gave in to that temptation.
  • 00:23:52.861 --> 00:23:55.864
  • Now you feel like you're too far away from god.
  • 00:23:55.864 --> 00:23:58.132
  • God, i was on the mountaintop when i came to the conference.
  • 00:23:58.132 --> 00:24:01.436
  • I met you, but now i messed up again.
  • 00:24:01.436 --> 00:24:06.841
  • And here's what i want to see.
  • 00:24:07.542 --> 00:24:08.510
  • I want to see you free from addiction.
  • 00:24:08.510 --> 00:24:13.114
  • Because i know what it's like to see a family
  • 00:24:14.182 --> 00:24:16.885
  • Disrupted by the demons of addiction.
  • 00:24:16.885 --> 00:24:20.788
  • I've been open for years about my brother
  • 00:24:21.789 --> 00:24:24.492
  • And his addiction to alcohol.
  • 00:24:24.492 --> 00:24:27.529
  • And i feel like those demons stole
  • 00:24:28.363 --> 00:24:29.864
  • The relationship away from me with my own brother.
  • 00:24:29.864 --> 00:24:33.868
  • And some of you know
  • 00:24:34.369 --> 00:24:35.203
  • How how that feels.
  • 00:24:35.203 --> 00:24:38.706
  • But i've been praying for him.
  • 00:24:39.407 --> 00:24:41.342
  • My parents have been praying for him.
  • 00:24:41.342 --> 00:24:42.610
  • There's times i didn't even know if he was alive.
  • 00:24:42.610 --> 00:24:45.513
  • But not that long ago, he reached out and said,
  • 00:24:45.513 --> 00:24:47.682
  • You know what?
  • 00:24:47.682 --> 00:24:48.283
  • I found jesus christ.
  • 00:24:48.283 --> 00:24:53.254
  • And for the first time, he's alive.
  • 00:24:54.122 --> 00:24:55.690
  • For the first time we're talking, we're talking,
  • 00:24:55.690 --> 00:24:58.459
  • Praise god.
  • 00:24:58.459 --> 00:24:59.961
  • But listen, there's still struggles in this life
  • 00:24:59.961 --> 00:25:02.630
  • These days.
  • 00:25:03.031 --> 00:25:03.831
  • He said, you know, i felt again.
  • 00:25:03.831 --> 00:25:05.366
  • I said, it's okay. he's okay.
  • 00:25:05.366 --> 00:25:06.501
  • Get back up.
  • 00:25:06.501 --> 00:25:08.970
  • Keep following jesus.
  • 00:25:08.970 --> 00:25:11.139
  • But i'm just embarrassed.
  • 00:25:11.139 --> 00:25:12.540
  • It's okay. i'm proud of you.
  • 00:25:12.540 --> 00:25:14.609
  • Every time you get back up.
  • 00:25:14.609 --> 00:25:15.743
  • I'm proud of you.
  • 00:25:15.743 --> 00:25:17.512
  • Jesus is proud of you because you're still fighting.
  • 00:25:17.512 --> 00:25:20.682
  • But you got to believe the promise.
  • 00:25:21.549 --> 00:25:22.684
  • You don't lie
  • 00:25:22.684 --> 00:25:24.052
  • Because you never step in to a promise you don't believe.
  • 00:25:24.052 --> 00:25:26.321
  • So if you believe the lies, that's exactly where you stay.
  • 00:25:26.321 --> 00:25:28.790
  • But when you believe what god has for you,
  • 00:25:28.790 --> 00:25:30.491
  • And you believe that freedom is real,
  • 00:25:30.491 --> 00:25:31.793
  • You step into that freedom.
  • 00:25:31.793 --> 00:25:34.295
  • But that's a fight in your mind as well.
  • 00:25:34.295 --> 00:25:37.465
  • And so here's what i see.
  • 00:25:37.465 --> 00:25:39.067
  • I see that
  • 00:25:39.067 --> 00:25:40.368
  • A lot of us are fighting things like fear and anxiety.
  • 00:25:40.368 --> 00:25:43.538
  • And here's the thing those things use each other.
  • 00:25:43.538 --> 00:25:46.708
  • They seem similar, but
  • 00:25:47.275 --> 00:25:48.610
  • They're a little bit different because fear will attack us.
  • 00:25:48.610 --> 00:25:51.579
  • Fear is our response to life situations,
  • 00:25:51.579 --> 00:25:55.149
  • But anxiety is our response to imaginations.
  • 00:25:55.149 --> 00:25:58.353
  • Let me say that again.
  • 00:25:58.920 --> 00:25:59.954
  • Fear is a response to life situations,
  • 00:25:59.954 --> 00:26:02.757
  • What we're going through, the environment around us.
  • 00:26:02.757 --> 00:26:05.560
  • But when we have anxiety, it's fear in our imaginations.
  • 00:26:05.560 --> 00:26:09.430
  • What if this doesn't go well?
  • 00:26:09.430 --> 00:26:12.634
  • What if this job doesn't work out for me?
  • 00:26:12.634 --> 00:26:15.269
  • What if i move my life by faith and it all just
  • 00:26:15.269 --> 00:26:19.107
  • Crumbles to the ground?
  • 00:26:19.107 --> 00:26:20.608
  • What if it works?
  • 00:26:20.608 --> 00:26:23.778
  • What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
  • 00:26:23.778 --> 00:26:27.448
  • What do you want in your life?
  • 00:26:27.448 --> 00:26:29.250
  • Because a lot of us, when we stay still,
  • 00:26:29.250 --> 00:26:30.818
  • Gets what we have at the end of our life.
  • 00:26:30.818 --> 00:26:32.286
  • A lot of regrets, but i would rather move by faith
  • 00:26:32.286 --> 00:26:36.057
  • And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
  • 00:26:36.057 --> 00:26:39.927
  • And i ended up exactly where i needed to be.
  • 00:26:39.927 --> 00:26:44.866
  • Because i'm
  • 00:26:45.266 --> 00:26:46.300
  • Not going to regret moving for the lord,
  • 00:26:46.300 --> 00:26:49.003
  • But i will regret never moving at all.
  • 00:26:49.003 --> 00:26:52.573
  • Okay, i want you to listen to this.
  • 00:26:52.573 --> 00:26:53.741
  • What paul said to young timothy about fear.
  • 00:26:53.741 --> 00:26:57.111
  • He said in second timothy chapter one verse seven, for god
  • 00:26:57.111 --> 00:27:00.281
  • Has not given us a spirit of fear
  • 00:27:00.281 --> 00:27:02.283
  • Or timidity, but power, love, and self-discipline.
  • 00:27:02.283 --> 00:27:06.487
  • You know why this is so good?
  • 00:27:06.487 --> 00:27:09.157
  • Do you realize what this scripture right here exposes it?
  • 00:27:09.157 --> 00:27:12.126
  • It exposes
  • 00:27:12.126 --> 00:27:13.494
  • Fear of the world does not come from our heavenly father.
  • 00:27:13.494 --> 00:27:16.698
  • And if it does not
  • 00:27:17.198 --> 00:27:18.366
  • Come from our heavenly father, it is not truth.
  • 00:27:18.366 --> 00:27:21.469
  • Did you hear that?
  • 00:27:21.969 --> 00:27:23.104
  • So the fear over this world, over what's happening
  • 00:27:23.104 --> 00:27:26.374
  • In our nation, over what's happening in your family,
  • 00:27:26.374 --> 00:27:29.277
  • What's happening in your future does not come from god.
  • 00:27:29.277 --> 00:27:32.313
  • Then it is a lie because fear is a liar and
  • 00:27:32.313 --> 00:27:37.418
  • All right, guys, that's all the time we have for today.
  • 00:27:37.418 --> 00:27:39.821
  • But i pray that today's message bless your life.
  • 00:27:39.821 --> 00:27:43.558
  • There is a reason you heard this word today.
  • 00:27:43.558 --> 00:27:46.094
  • It's not by mistake.
  • 00:27:46.094 --> 00:27:47.562
  • You're here for a reason and god has a plan for you.
  • 00:27:47.562 --> 00:27:51.466
  • And listen, if you love this church
  • 00:27:51.466 --> 00:27:53.634
  • And thinking about giving to this church, all you have to do
  • 00:27:53.634 --> 00:27:56.537
  • Is visit our website at bobbie chandler ministries.com.
  • 00:27:56.537 --> 00:28:00.408
  • And it's very easy to give.
  • 00:28:00.408 --> 00:28:01.976
  • And once you give, listen,
  • 00:28:01.976 --> 00:28:03.377
  • You're helping change lives because of your faithful giving.
  • 00:28:03.377 --> 00:28:07.482
  • We're able to reach not only the nation, but the world.
  • 00:28:07.482 --> 00:28:11.219
  • We're bringing the gospel of jesus christ
  • 00:28:11.219 --> 00:28:13.654
  • Into everyone's home as much as we can,
  • 00:28:13.654 --> 00:28:17.091
  • So that they know the love of god.
  • 00:28:17.091 --> 00:28:20.094
  • And listen.
  • 00:28:20.094 --> 00:28:21.362
  • If you want to hear more sermons as well, don't forget
  • 00:28:21.362 --> 00:28:23.030
  • You can join us live every sunday, 815, 10:00, and 1145.
  • 00:28:23.030 --> 00:28:28.369
  • So thank you for watching today
  • 00:28:28.369 --> 00:28:30.705
  • And i can't wait to see you again very soon.
  • 00:28:30.705 --> 00:28:33.674
  • All right, before you go, i got one more announcement to make.
  • 00:28:33.674 --> 00:28:36.244
  • And this one's a big one.
  • 00:28:36.244 --> 00:28:37.411
  • Okay.
  • 00:28:37.411 --> 00:28:37.845
  • This year
  • 00:28:37.845 --> 00:28:38.579
  • We held
  • 00:28:38.579 --> 00:28:39.947
  • Our very first awaken conference in hickory, north carolina
  • 00:28:39.947 --> 00:28:42.884
  • For authentic church.
  • 00:28:42.884 --> 00:28:44.085
  • And we saw
  • 00:28:44.085 --> 00:28:45.419
  • People come out from everywhere, from all over the nation
  • 00:28:45.419 --> 00:28:49.123
  • And even outside of the country
  • 00:28:49.123 --> 00:28:50.825
  • To experience what god is doing here.
  • 00:28:50.825 --> 00:28:53.094
  • So we're doing it again in 2026, from june 4th to june 7th.
  • 00:28:53.094 --> 00:28:58.499
  • We would love for you to plan and be here with us.
  • 00:28:58.499 --> 00:29:01.335
  • And if you want to look into more details
  • 00:29:01.335 --> 00:29:03.671
  • Over the conference,
  • 00:29:03.671 --> 00:29:04.806
  • All you have to do is click the link below.
  • 00:29:04.806 --> 00:29:06.407
  • In fact, here's a recap video to show you what all god did
  • 00:29:06.407 --> 00:29:10.845
  • For. me?
  • 00:29:11.179 --> 00:29:22.590
  • Me. me.
  • 00:29:22.924 --> 00:29:34.202
  • And the
  • 00:29:34.535 --> 00:29:35.503
  • Reason i even bring it up tonight
  • 00:29:35.503 --> 00:29:38.339
  • Is because when it comes to you knowing jesus, the man,
  • 00:29:38.339 --> 00:29:43.077
  • The gospel message is all about
  • 00:29:43.077 --> 00:29:46.047
  • Your understanding of the message about the man
  • 00:29:46.047 --> 00:29:50.284
  • Who will inform your methods of getting to know the man.
  • 00:29:50.284 --> 00:30:23.417
  • That this job doesn't work out for me.
  • 00:30:24.352 --> 00:30:26.754
  • What if i move my life by faith and it all just
  • 00:30:26.754 --> 00:30:30.658
  • Crumbles to the ground? what if it works?
  • 00:30:30.658 --> 00:30:33.361
  • What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
  • 00:30:33.361 --> 00:30:36.330
  • But i would rather move by faith
  • 00:30:36.330 --> 00:30:38.132
  • And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
  • 00:30:38.132 --> 00:30:42.003
  • And i ended up exactly.
  • 00:30:42.003 --> 00:30:43.204
  • Where i needed to be.
  • 00:30:43.204 --> 00:31:14.502
  • You know what today is
  • 00:31:15.069 --> 00:31:17.138
  • Pentecost sunday.
  • 00:31:17.138 --> 00:31:20.207
  • Pentecost sunday.
  • 00:31:20.708 --> 00:31:23.811
  • Woo! you better
  • 00:31:24.278 --> 00:31:26.314
  • Not ask the holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
  • 00:31:26.314 --> 00:31:30.051
  • I came here to remind you
  • 00:31:30.685 --> 00:31:32.453
  • You need the holy spirit.
  • 00:31:32.453 --> 00:32:01.882
  • We need.
  • 00:32:02.216 --> 00:32:02.216
