- FOR THE GLORY OF IT ALL
00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:03.180
OH, HE IS HERE
00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:05.220
WITH REDEMPTION
00:00:05.220 --> 00:00:06.280
FROM THE FALL
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:08.270
THAT WE MAY LIVE
00:00:08.270 --> 00:00:11.270
FOR THE GLORY OF IT ALL
00:00:12.110 --> 00:00:15.110
THE GLORY OF IT ALL
00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:18.120
THE GLORY OF IT ALL
00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:21.140
FOR JOINING US TODAY,
00:00:28.030 --> 00:00:28.210
AS WE BEGIN A FOUR-PART SERIES
00:00:28.210 --> 00:00:30.270
ON, "A HOUSE KNOWN
00:00:30.270 --> 00:00:33.270
FOR THE PRESENCE OF GOD".
00:00:33.270 --> 00:00:35.010
YOU KNOW, WHEN MOSES PRAYED
00:00:35.010 --> 00:00:36.170
AND WAS TALKING TO THE LORD,
00:00:36.170 --> 00:00:38.030
HE SAID, "LORD,
00:00:38.030 --> 00:00:39.080
IF YOU DON'T GO WITH US,
00:00:39.080 --> 00:00:40.090
HOW WILL WE BE DISTINGUISHED
00:00:40.090 --> 00:00:42.020
FROM ALL THE PEOPLES
00:00:42.020 --> 00:00:43.140
OF THE EARTH?"
00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:44.190
IT WAS THAT VITALLY IMPORTANT
00:00:44.190 --> 00:00:46.190
TO MOSES THAT THE PRESENCE
00:00:46.190 --> 00:00:49.040
OF THE LORD BE VERY REAL
00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:50.150
AND TANGIBLE TO HIM.
00:00:50.150 --> 00:00:53.010
HE'S A PERSONAL GOD.
00:00:53.010 --> 00:00:54.210
HE WANTS TO BE KNOWN
00:00:54.210 --> 00:00:55.200
IN YOUR LIFE.
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.100
ALL RIGHT.
00:00:59.180 --> 00:01:00.120
IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES THIS
00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:01.120
MORNING, LET'S TURN TO THE
00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:02.110
BOOK OF EXODUS, EXODUS 33.
00:01:02.110 --> 00:01:03.280
EXODUS 33,
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.040
BEGINNING WITH EXODUS 33:12.
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.230
SO IF YOU'RE TAKING NOTES,
00:01:08.230 --> 00:01:11.070
THE MESSAGE THE LORD GAVE ME
00:01:11.070 --> 00:01:14.020
FOR THE TITLE OF THIS
00:01:14.020 --> 00:01:14.290
MESSAGE IS, "A HOUSE KNOWN
00:01:14.290 --> 00:01:16.250
FOR HIS PRESENCE".
00:01:16.250 --> 00:01:19.040
"A HOUSE KNOWN
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.150
FOR HIS PRESENCE".
00:01:21.150 --> 00:01:22.280
NOW, YOU KNOW, THE NEW TESTAMENT
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.180
REFERS TO OUR BODY
00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:26.010
AS A TABERNACLE, OR A TENT.
00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:29.180
A TEMPORARY DWELLING PLACE.
00:01:29.180 --> 00:01:31.190
A HOUSE.
00:01:31.190 --> 00:01:32.220
OKAY?
00:01:32.220 --> 00:01:34.070
SO WHEN I SAY A HOUSE KNOWN
00:01:34.070 --> 00:01:35.200
FOR HIS PRESENCE,
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:36.220
I WANT OUR BODIES, OUR PERSONS,
00:01:36.220 --> 00:01:38.120
TO BE KNOWN FOR HIS PRESENCE.
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.030
I WANT OUR HOMES,
00:01:40.030 --> 00:01:41.140
WHERE WE LIVE,
00:01:41.140 --> 00:01:42.060
TO BE KNOWN FOR HIS PRESENCE.
00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:43.280
AND I WANT THIS SANCTUARY,
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.080
THIS LOCAL CHURCH,
00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:46.100
TO BE KNOWN FOR HIS PRESENCE.
00:01:46.100 --> 00:01:49.010
AMEN?
00:01:49.010 --> 00:01:50.120
OKAY, LET'S TRY THAT
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:52.000
ONE MORE TIME.
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:52.190
AMEN?
00:01:52.190 --> 00:01:53.170
YEAH.
00:01:53.170 --> 00:01:54.170
HIS PRESENCE,
00:01:54.170 --> 00:01:55.120
AND WE'LL GET INTO THAT.
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:56.080
OKAY?
00:01:56.080 --> 00:01:56.290
GOD IS REAL, HE'S PERSONAL.
00:01:56.290 --> 00:01:58.240
HE WANTS TO BE PRESENT
00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:00.190
AND HE IS GOOD.
00:02:00.190 --> 00:02:02.190
OKAY?
00:02:02.190 --> 00:02:03.220
HE'S A PERSONAL GOD.
00:02:03.220 --> 00:02:05.070
AND I KNOW SO MANY LISTENING
00:02:05.070 --> 00:02:06.100
OR EVEN THINKING OR HEARING
00:02:06.100 --> 00:02:07.130
THIS RIGHT NOW, DON'T KNOW
00:02:07.130 --> 00:02:08.120
GOD AS A PERSONAL GOD.
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.190
OR THAT HE'S REALLY ALL THAT
00:02:10.190 --> 00:02:12.050
GOOD TO YOU, OR YOU KNOW --
00:02:12.050 --> 00:02:14.050
HAVE NOT KNOWN HIS GOODNESS,
00:02:14.050 --> 00:02:15.250
BUT I'M HERE TO SAY TO YOU,
00:02:15.250 --> 00:02:16.280
HE'S NOT FAR OFF AND DISTANT.
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.250
OKAY?
00:02:18.250 --> 00:02:20.060
YOU KNOW, WE -- A LOT OF US
00:02:20.060 --> 00:02:22.170
GET AN IMAGE OF WHO GOD IS
00:02:22.170 --> 00:02:23.220
FROM AN EARTHLY DAD.
00:02:23.220 --> 00:02:26.140
WELL, NOT EVERYBODY HAD
00:02:26.140 --> 00:02:27.190
AN EARTHLY DAD THAT THEY KNEW,
00:02:27.190 --> 00:02:29.180
OR NOT EVERYBODY HAD
00:02:29.180 --> 00:02:30.160
THE BEST MODEL
00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:31.050
IN AN EARTHLY DAD.
00:02:31.050 --> 00:02:33.150
AND THAT TENDS TO SKEW
00:02:33.150 --> 00:02:34.110
OFTEN TIMES OUR IMAGE
00:02:34.110 --> 00:02:35.250
OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, OKAY?
00:02:35.250 --> 00:02:38.230
BUT SO, THE LORD WILL GIVE US
00:02:38.230 --> 00:02:40.020
GRACE TO KIND OF PUT THAT
00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:41.220
ON THE SHELF, AND THEN GET
00:02:41.220 --> 00:02:44.010
TO KNOW THE TRUTH
00:02:44.010 --> 00:02:44.280
OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER,
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.080
WHO'S A GOOD GOD.
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.000
HE'S A GOOD DAD.
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.270
HE'S A WONDERFUL DAD.
00:02:49.270 --> 00:02:52.060
AND HE WANTS US
00:02:52.060 --> 00:02:53.010
TO GET TO KNOW HIM THAT WAY,
00:02:53.010 --> 00:02:54.020
AND AS BILL JOHNSON SAYS,
00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:55.140
WE REALLY CAN'T EXAGGERATE
00:02:55.140 --> 00:02:57.080
HIS GOODNESS.
00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.090
HE'S GOOD.
00:02:59.090 --> 00:03:00.180
JUST LOOK AT SOMEBODY AND SAY,
00:03:00.180 --> 00:03:01.220
"GOD IS GOOD."
00:03:01.220 --> 00:03:03.190
YOUR FATHER LOVES YOU.
00:03:03.190 --> 00:03:05.280
SAY THAT.
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.050
SO THIS IS HIM,
00:03:08.050 --> 00:03:09.250
AND THIS IS WHO WE'RE GOING TO
00:03:09.250 --> 00:03:10.280
GET TO KNOW,
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:11.290
AND I THINK THIS MESSAGE
00:03:11.290 --> 00:03:13.100
WILL HELP US MOVE THAT WAY
00:03:13.100 --> 00:03:15.020
AND PROGRESS THAT WAY.
00:03:15.020 --> 00:03:16.090
LET'S LOOK AT THIS TEXT,
00:03:16.090 --> 00:03:17.140
BEGINNING WITH EXODUS 33:12.
00:03:18.100 --> 00:03:21.100
"THEN MOSES SAID TO THE LORD,
00:03:21.100 --> 00:03:23.080
'SEE, YOU SAY TO ME,
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.240
'BRING UP THIS PEOPLE.'
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.000
BUT YOU YOURSELF HAVE NOT LET
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.090
KNOW WHOM YOU WILL SEND WITH ME.
00:03:29.090 --> 00:03:31.200
MOREOVER YOU HAVE SAID,
00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:33.010
'I HAVE KNOWN YOU BY NAME,
00:03:33.010 --> 00:03:35.160
AND YOU HAVE ALSO GROUND FAVOR
00:03:35.160 --> 00:03:36.260
IN MY SIGHT.'
00:03:36.260 --> 00:03:38.180
NOW THEREFORE, I PRAY YOU,
00:03:40.030 --> 00:03:43.030
IF I HAVE FOUND FAVOR
00:03:43.030 --> 00:03:44.180
IN YOUR SIGHT, LET ME KNOW
00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:45.110
YOUR WAYS, THAT I MAY KNOW YOU
00:03:45.110 --> 00:03:47.200
SO THAT I MAY FIND FAVOR
00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:48.140
IN YOUR SIGHT.
00:03:48.140 --> 00:03:49.260
CONSIDER, TOO, THAT THIS
00:03:49.260 --> 00:03:50.220
NATION IS YOUR PEOPLE.'
00:03:50.220 --> 00:03:53.160
AND HE SAID,
00:03:53.160 --> 00:03:54.200
'MY PRESENCE SHALL GO WITH YOU,
00:03:54.200 --> 00:03:57.190
AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.'
00:03:59.060 --> 00:04:02.080
THEN HE SAID TO HIM,
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:03.180
'IF YOUR PRESENCE
00:04:03.180 --> 00:04:05.100
DOES NOT GO WITH US,
00:04:05.100 --> 00:04:06.190
DO NOT LEAD US UP FROM HERE.'"
00:04:06.190 --> 00:04:08.090
NOW, PAUSE THIS --
00:04:08.090 --> 00:04:09.220
PAUSE THERE FOR A SECOND.
00:04:09.220 --> 00:04:10.290
MOSES SAID, "LOOK, IF YOU'RE
00:04:10.290 --> 00:04:12.160
NOT GOING, I'M NOT GOING."
00:04:12.160 --> 00:04:14.190
IF YOUR PRESENCE,
00:04:14.190 --> 00:04:17.180
WHICH WAS SOMETHING
00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:18.220
VERY, VERY REAL TO MOSES, OKAY?
00:04:18.220 --> 00:04:21.100
IF YOUR MANIFEST, VERY REAL,
00:04:22.110 --> 00:04:25.110
TANGIBLE, PRACTICAL, INVESTED,
00:04:25.250 --> 00:04:28.250
INVOLVED PRESENCE
00:04:28.250 --> 00:04:31.070
IS NOT GOING TO COME,
00:04:31.070 --> 00:04:32.100
WE'RE NOT MOVING.
00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:34.100
REMINDS ME OF A TRIP
00:04:34.100 --> 00:04:35.170
I MADE IN THE EARLY 90S.
00:04:35.170 --> 00:04:36.260
I WAS STUDYING,
00:04:36.260 --> 00:04:38.070
I WAS WORKING AT THE UNIVERSITY
00:04:38.070 --> 00:04:39.250
AND STUDYING,
00:04:39.250 --> 00:04:41.000
AND PART OF THE GRADUATE STUDIES
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:42.240
AT THAT TIME, THAT PROGRAM
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.050
I WAS IN, WAS IN BUSINESS.
00:04:44.050 --> 00:04:45.220
AND I WAS IN THE MBA STUDIES,
00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:47.270
AND PART OF WHAT
00:04:47.270 --> 00:04:48.240
THE REQUIREMENT WAS,
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.020
AN INTERNATIONAL COMPONENT.
00:04:50.020 --> 00:04:52.140
TEN DAYS OF STUDYING
00:04:52.140 --> 00:04:53.170
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS, ABROAD,
00:04:53.170 --> 00:04:55.070
AND THAT WAS PART OF
00:04:55.070 --> 00:04:56.060
THE EDUCATION, THE TRAINING.
00:04:56.060 --> 00:04:58.090
AND SO, AND OUR COHORT
00:04:58.090 --> 00:05:00.130
WAS ABOUT 20 EXECUTIVES,
00:05:00.130 --> 00:05:02.090
IT WAS THE EXECUTIVE
00:05:02.090 --> 00:05:03.180
MBA PROGRAM,
00:05:03.180 --> 00:05:05.060
NOT YOUNGER STUDENTS.
00:05:05.060 --> 00:05:06.190
AND I WAS PART OF THAT,
00:05:06.190 --> 00:05:08.110
AND I WAS BLESSED
00:05:08.110 --> 00:05:09.060
TO BE PART OF IT.
00:05:09.060 --> 00:05:10.070
AND SO, WE WERE ALL GOING,
00:05:10.070 --> 00:05:11.140
AND IN THE AIRPORT,
00:05:11.140 --> 00:05:13.130
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
00:05:13.130 --> 00:05:14.020
THERE WAS A PROBLEM
00:05:14.020 --> 00:05:14.250
WITH MY FLIGHT.
00:05:14.250 --> 00:05:17.090
AND EVERYBODY'S ON BOARD.
00:05:17.090 --> 00:05:19.000
OF COURSE, THIS WAY --
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.050
PRE-9/11, SO WE'RE ALL THERE,
00:05:20.050 --> 00:05:21.020
AND WE'RE TALKING.
00:05:21.020 --> 00:05:22.170
AND ONE FELLOW STANDING WITH ME,
00:05:22.170 --> 00:05:24.290
HE'S KIND OF WATCHING THAT
00:05:24.290 --> 00:05:25.180
I'M NOT GETTING ON THE PLANE.
00:05:25.180 --> 00:05:26.200
THERE'S A PROBLEM.
00:05:26.200 --> 00:05:27.150
AND OF COURSE, I WAS PASTORING
00:05:27.150 --> 00:05:28.150
ALSO AT THE TIME.
00:05:28.150 --> 00:05:30.020
THIS IS ABOUT IN 1993 OR '94,
00:05:30.020 --> 00:05:32.160
AND HE CAME UP TO ME,
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.160
AND HE WAS, YOU KNOW,
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.120
A PRETTY SUPERSTITIOUS GUY,
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:37.020
AND HE SAID, "WHAT'S WRONG?"
00:05:37.020 --> 00:05:39.200
I SAID, "I DON'T KNOW.
00:05:39.200 --> 00:05:41.080
YOU MIGHT BE GOING WITHOUT ME."
00:05:41.080 --> 00:05:43.080
AND THIS WAS HIS FIRST
00:05:43.080 --> 00:05:44.140
INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT.
00:05:44.140 --> 00:05:45.040
AND HE SAID, "OH, NO.
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:46.060
IF YOU'RE NOT ON THIS PLANE,
00:05:46.060 --> 00:05:48.180
I'M NOT GETTING ON THIS PLANE."
00:05:48.180 --> 00:05:50.180
AND I SAID, "EDDIE, RELAX.
00:05:51.100 --> 00:05:54.100
IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY."
00:05:54.100 --> 00:05:56.030
HE SAID, "UH-UH."
00:05:56.030 --> 00:05:57.100
AND HE WENT JUST LIKE THAT.
00:05:57.100 --> 00:05:59.030
I SAID, "OKAY, WELL, WAIT."
00:05:59.030 --> 00:06:00.020
SAID, "WELL, I'M WAITING."
00:06:00.020 --> 00:06:01.110
HE REFUSED TO GET ON THE PLANE
00:06:01.110 --> 00:06:02.220
UNLESS I GOT ON THE PLANE.
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.160
IT WORKED OUT.
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:09.010
WE BOTH GOT ON THE PLANE.
00:06:09.010 --> 00:06:10.050
HAD A GREAT TIME.
00:06:10.050 --> 00:06:11.040
BUT HE WAS ADAMANT.
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:12.290
JUST WHATEVER IT WAS.
00:06:12.290 --> 00:06:15.080
IF I WASN'T GOING,
00:06:15.080 --> 00:06:16.210
HE WASN'T GOING.
00:06:16.210 --> 00:06:17.280
OKAY.
00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:19.110
I WAS JUST --
00:06:19.110 --> 00:06:20.000
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:20.290
NO.
00:06:20.290 --> 00:06:21.150
HE WAS JUST THAT ADAMANT.
00:06:21.150 --> 00:06:24.050
THAT'S WHAT THIS REMINDS ME OF,
00:06:24.050 --> 00:06:25.130
OKAY?
00:06:25.130 --> 00:06:27.030
AND I THINK HIS FEAR
00:06:27.030 --> 00:06:28.100
WAS UNFOUNDED,
00:06:28.100 --> 00:06:29.000
DON'T -- LET ME --
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:30.020
DON'T READ MORE INTO
00:06:30.020 --> 00:06:30.280
THAT THAN I'M TRYING TO SAY.
00:06:30.280 --> 00:06:31.210
BUT I'M TRYING TO ILLUSTRATE.
00:06:31.210 --> 00:06:32.290
MOSES IS SAYING,
00:06:32.290 --> 00:06:33.280
"GOD, IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GO,
00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:35.250
IF YOUR PRESENCE IS NOT MOVING
00:06:35.250 --> 00:06:37.250
WITH US, UH-UH.
00:06:37.250 --> 00:06:40.060
WE ARE NOT TAKING A STEP.
00:06:40.060 --> 00:06:41.220
UNLESS YOUR PRESENCE,
00:06:43.070 --> 00:06:46.070
THAT'S REAL, THAT'S ACTIVE,
00:06:46.070 --> 00:06:47.210
THAT'S KNOWN, THAT'S PRACTICAL,
00:06:47.210 --> 00:06:50.030
THAT'S MANIFESTING,
00:06:50.030 --> 00:06:51.250
WE'RE NOT MOVING."
00:06:52.030 --> 00:06:55.030
THAT'S THE WAY
00:06:55.030 --> 00:06:56.100
I WANT US TO BE RIGHT NOW,
00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:58.280
IN EVERYTHING WE DO.
00:06:58.280 --> 00:06:59.290
EXODUS 33:16.
00:07:03.190 --> 00:07:06.190
"FOR HOW THEN CAN IT BE KNOWN,"
00:07:06.190 --> 00:07:08.000
-- GET THIS, MOSES SAYS.
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.080
HE CONTINUES.
00:07:09.080 --> 00:07:10.130
WE'RE NOT GOING WITHOUT
00:07:10.130 --> 00:07:11.200
YOUR PRESENCE:
00:07:11.200 --> 00:07:13.050
"FOR HOW THEN CAN IT BE KNOWN
00:07:13.050 --> 00:07:14.010
THAT I HAVE FOUND FAVOR
00:07:14.010 --> 00:07:14.260
IN YOUR SIGHT,
00:07:14.260 --> 00:07:15.200
I AND YOUR PEOPLE?"
00:07:15.200 --> 00:07:16.250
THAT IS, IF YOU DON'T GO.
00:07:16.250 --> 00:07:18.030
"IS IT NOT BY YOUR GOING
00:07:18.030 --> 00:07:19.190
WITH US, SO THAT WE,
00:07:19.190 --> 00:07:21.250
I AND YOUR PEOPLE,
00:07:21.250 --> 00:07:23.140
MAY BE DISTINGUISHED
00:07:23.140 --> 00:07:25.170
FROM ALL THE PEOPLE
00:07:25.170 --> 00:07:26.210
WHO ARE ON THE FACE
00:07:26.210 --> 00:07:27.170
OF THE EARTH?"
00:07:27.170 --> 00:07:28.260
LISTEN TO WHAT HE'S SAYING.
00:07:28.260 --> 00:07:31.060
IN OTHER WORDS,
00:07:31.060 --> 00:07:32.210
IF YOUR MANIFEST,
00:07:32.210 --> 00:07:33.160
VERY REAL AND TANGIBLE,
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.000
PRACTICAL, PERSONALLY
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:37.020
INVOLVED PRESENCE
00:07:37.020 --> 00:07:38.110
IS NOT WITH US,
00:07:38.110 --> 00:07:39.040
HOW IS ANYBODY GOING TO TELL US
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.050
APART FROM EVERYBODY ELSE?
00:07:41.050 --> 00:07:43.240
THINK ABOUT TODAY.
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.000
WHAT SETS US APART
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:50.210
FROM ANYBODY ELSE?
00:07:50.210 --> 00:07:53.090
FOR EXAMPLE,
00:07:53.090 --> 00:07:55.220
IN THE POLITICAL MOUNTAIN.
00:07:55.220 --> 00:07:58.010
IN -- WHAT SETS APART PEOPLE
00:07:58.200 --> 00:08:01.220
DOING GOOD OR DOING GOOD THINGS
00:08:01.220 --> 00:08:03.020
IN POLITICS?
00:08:03.020 --> 00:08:04.140
OR IN THE BUSINESS MOUNTAIN?
00:08:04.140 --> 00:08:05.240
IN THE WORLD OF BUSINESS.
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.280
OR IN THE WORLD OF MEDIA,
00:08:07.280 --> 00:08:09.230
AND ENTERTAINMENT.
00:08:09.230 --> 00:08:11.200
OR ANYWHERE --
00:08:11.200 --> 00:08:13.140
ANY OTHER CULTURAL REALM
00:08:13.140 --> 00:08:15.090
OF INFLUENCE.
00:08:15.090 --> 00:08:16.100
IT'S THE PRESENCE OF GOD
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.240
THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.120
MOSES SAID,
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.020
"IF YOU DON'T GO WITH US,
00:08:23.020 --> 00:08:24.010
WE'RE NOT MOVING.
00:08:24.010 --> 00:08:25.210
FOR HOW CAN ANYBODY
00:08:25.210 --> 00:08:26.160
TELL US APART,
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:27.200
UNLESS YOUR PRESENCE
00:08:27.200 --> 00:08:29.010
IS WITH US?
00:08:29.010 --> 00:08:30.130
HOW CAN WE BE DISTINGUISHED?"
00:08:30.130 --> 00:08:31.200
OKAY?
00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:33.060
WHAT DISTINGUISHES US
00:08:33.060 --> 00:08:34.130
DURING THE WEEK?
00:08:34.130 --> 00:08:35.140
THIS IS WHAT THIS WHOLE MESSAGE
00:08:35.140 --> 00:08:36.080
IS ABOUT.
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:36.280
HIS MANIFEST PRESENCE.
00:08:37.090 --> 00:08:40.090
OKAY?
00:08:40.090 --> 00:08:41.020
ONE OF THE PRAYERS I LEARNED
00:08:41.020 --> 00:08:42.150
VERY EARLY ON IN MY YOUTH WAS,
00:08:42.150 --> 00:08:44.240
"LORD, HELP ME TO BE
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.040
MORE MINDFUL
00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:49.160
AND AWARE OF YOUR PRESENCE."
00:08:50.020 --> 00:08:53.020
"THE LORD SAID TO MOSES,
00:08:53.020 --> 00:08:55.210
'I WILL DO --
00:08:55.210 --> 00:08:57.030
I WILL ALSO DO THIS THING
00:08:57.030 --> 00:08:58.130
OF WHICH YOU HAVE SPOKEN.
00:08:58.130 --> 00:09:00.030
FOR YOU HAVE FOUND FAVOR
00:09:00.030 --> 00:09:01.270
IN MY SIGHT,
00:09:01.270 --> 00:09:03.060
AND I HAVE KNOWN YOU BY NAME.'"
00:09:03.060 --> 00:09:04.290
ALL RIGHT?
00:09:04.290 --> 00:09:06.100
SO LET US ASK GOD TO LET --
00:09:06.100 --> 00:09:07.240
TO ALLOW US TO FIND FAVOR
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.130
IN HIS SIGHT,
00:09:09.130 --> 00:09:12.100
SUCH THAT HIS PRESENCE
00:09:12.100 --> 00:09:14.210
IS WITH US WHEREVER WE ARE.
00:09:14.210 --> 00:09:17.180
AND IT IS KNOWN BY THE PEOPLE
00:09:17.180 --> 00:09:19.020
AROUND US.
00:09:19.020 --> 00:09:20.070
OKAY?
00:09:20.070 --> 00:09:21.020
YEAH.
00:09:21.020 --> 00:09:22.100
IT'S NOT JUST FOR WHEN THE HOLY,
00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:24.110
HONORABLE, MOST HOLY REVEREND
00:09:24.110 --> 00:09:26.020
WALKS IN THE ROOM.
00:09:26.020 --> 00:09:27.170
IT'S FOR EVERY CHILD OF GOD,
00:09:27.170 --> 00:09:30.140
WHETHER IT'S LITTLE ADRIAN
00:09:30.140 --> 00:09:31.190
RIGHT HERE, OR JAMES CORNETTE,
00:09:31.260 --> 00:09:34.260
OR CAROL, OR JOHN BARBER,
00:09:34.260 --> 00:09:37.190
OR WHOEVER WALKS IN.
00:09:37.190 --> 00:09:40.010
IT'S THE SAME HOLY SPIRIT.
00:09:40.150 --> 00:09:43.150
AS I OFTEN SAY TO YOU,
00:09:43.150 --> 00:09:44.090
IT'S NOT SENIOR HOLY SPIRIT
00:09:44.090 --> 00:09:45.200
AND JUNIOR HOLY SPIRIT,
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:46.270
IT'S JUST HOLY SPIRIT
00:09:46.270 --> 00:09:48.250
PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:09:48.250 --> 00:09:50.060
OKAY?
00:09:50.060 --> 00:09:50.260
THAT'S WHAT DISTINGUISHES US.
00:09:50.260 --> 00:09:53.000
LET THAT BE, LORD,
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:54.110
WHAT DISTINGUISHES
00:09:54.110 --> 00:09:55.240
EVERY ONE OF YOUR CHILDREN
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.160
WHEREVER WE ARE, ALL --
00:09:57.160 --> 00:09:59.010
AT ALL TIMES.
00:09:59.010 --> 00:10:01.120
FOR US TO DO ALL
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:02.130
THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO,
00:10:02.130 --> 00:10:03.150
WE'VE GOT TO HAVE GREATER
00:10:03.150 --> 00:10:04.210
AND GREATER AND VERY REAL,
00:10:04.210 --> 00:10:06.000
PRACTICAL DEPENDENCE
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.090
ON HIS PRESENCE.
00:10:07.090 --> 00:10:08.290
THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS
00:10:08.290 --> 00:10:09.270
TO BE SPIRIT LED.
00:10:09.270 --> 00:10:11.040
NOW, QUICKLY, EPHESIANS 2:22.
00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:13.200
AND IT'S UP ON THE SCREEN.
00:10:13.210 --> 00:10:16.210
SUPERNATURALLY JUST APPEARS
00:10:16.210 --> 00:10:19.130
ON THE SCREEN,
00:10:19.130 --> 00:10:20.030
JUST LIKE THAT.
00:10:20.030 --> 00:10:22.280
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS:
00:10:22.280 --> 00:10:24.190
"IN WHOM YOU ALSO
00:10:24.190 --> 00:10:25.180
ARE BEING BUILT TOGETHER
00:10:25.180 --> 00:10:26.140
INTO A DWELLING OF GOD
00:10:26.140 --> 00:10:28.010
IN THE SPIRIT."
00:10:28.010 --> 00:10:29.170
NOW, REMEMBER,
00:10:29.170 --> 00:10:30.090
I TOLD THE TITLE
00:10:30.090 --> 00:10:31.290
OF THIS MESSAGE IS, "A HOUSE
00:10:31.290 --> 00:10:32.240
KNOWN FOR HIS PRESENCE".
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:33.140
THIS HOUSE, MY HOME,
00:10:33.140 --> 00:10:34.170
THIS BUILDING RIGHT THERE,
00:10:34.170 --> 00:10:36.120
THIS SANCTUARY.
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:37.150
KNOWN FOR HIS PRESENCE.
00:10:37.150 --> 00:10:39.190
WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
00:10:39.190 --> 00:10:40.130
BEING BUILT UP TOGETHER
00:10:40.130 --> 00:10:41.170
INTO A HOUSE, A DWELLING,
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.200
OF GOD IN THE SPIRIT.
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.040
THAT MEANS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:49.130
GROWING INTO THAT,
00:10:49.130 --> 00:10:50.100
BEING BUILT UP.
00:10:50.100 --> 00:10:50.250
THAT MEANS I'M NOT COMPLETE
00:10:50.250 --> 00:10:52.070
WITHOUT WHAT SHELBY
00:10:52.070 --> 00:10:53.180
HAS TO OFFER.
00:10:53.180 --> 00:10:54.160
SHELBY'S NOT COMPLETE
00:10:54.160 --> 00:10:56.140
WITHOUT WHAT JIM HAS TO OFFER.
00:10:56.140 --> 00:10:57.280
JIM'S NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT
00:10:57.280 --> 00:10:59.010
WHAT WILLY HAS TO OFFER.
00:10:59.010 --> 00:11:00.270
WE'RE BEING BUILT UP TOGETHER.
00:11:00.270 --> 00:11:02.230
THE LORD IS KNITTING US,
00:11:02.230 --> 00:11:04.110
BUILDING US.
00:11:04.110 --> 00:11:06.120
THAT'S WHY WE EACH NEED
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:07.180
A FAMILY OF FAITH
00:11:07.180 --> 00:11:08.090
TO BE APART OF.
00:11:08.090 --> 00:11:09.210
OKAY?
00:11:09.210 --> 00:11:10.210
WE NEED THAT -- THAT'S WHY
00:11:10.210 --> 00:11:11.270
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS,
00:11:11.270 --> 00:11:12.270
"DO NOT NEGLECT TO ASSEMBLE
00:11:12.270 --> 00:11:14.270
TOGETHER, ALL THE MORE
00:11:14.270 --> 00:11:16.260
YOU SEE THE DAY APPROACHING."
00:11:16.260 --> 00:11:18.030
US NOT ASSEMBLING TOGETHER
00:11:18.030 --> 00:11:19.250
IS A MISTAKE.
00:11:19.250 --> 00:11:20.150
WE MISS OUT, 'CAUSE WE'RE
00:11:20.150 --> 00:11:21.090
SUPPOSED TO BE BEING BUILT UP.
00:11:21.090 --> 00:11:23.220
WE BUILD EACH OTHER UP.
00:11:23.220 --> 00:11:24.160
WE ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER.
00:11:24.160 --> 00:11:26.040
AND THEN, IT'S IN THE CRUCIBLE
00:11:26.040 --> 00:11:27.120
OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:29.080
WHERE WE LEARN AND GROW,
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:30.240
WHERE, YOU KNOW,
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:31.250
THERE'S FRICTION SOMETIMES,
00:11:31.250 --> 00:11:32.220
BUT WE LEARN TO FORGIVE
00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:33.220
AND LEARN TO BE MORE HUMBLE
00:11:33.220 --> 00:11:35.210
AND GENUINE AND AUTHENTIC
00:11:35.210 --> 00:11:36.160
AND DIFFERING AND BUILDING UP
00:11:36.160 --> 00:11:39.080
AND COMFORTING AND ENCOURAGING.
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.190
WE NEED TO BE TOGETHER.
00:11:41.190 --> 00:11:43.140
WE'RE BEING BUILT UP,
00:11:43.140 --> 00:11:44.260
SO WE'RE ON THE WAY,
00:11:44.260 --> 00:11:46.130
WE'RE IN PROGRESS,
00:11:46.130 --> 00:11:47.220
WE'RE BEING BUILT UP
00:11:47.220 --> 00:11:49.090
INTO THAT PLACE WHERE GOD
00:11:49.090 --> 00:11:50.140
IS MOST COMFORTABLE
00:11:50.140 --> 00:11:51.190
MANIFESTING HIMSELF.
00:11:51.190 --> 00:11:54.100
MAKING HIMSELF KNOWN.
00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:56.060
JESUS SAID,
00:11:56.060 --> 00:11:56.290
"IF YOU KEEP MY WORD,
00:11:56.290 --> 00:11:59.070
MY FATHER AND I WILL
00:11:59.070 --> 00:12:00.270
MAKE OUR HOME,
00:12:00.270 --> 00:12:01.230
AND I WILL DISCLOSE MYSELF
00:12:01.230 --> 00:12:02.260
TO YOU."
00:12:02.260 --> 00:12:03.210
ONE OF MY FAVORITE PROMISES.
00:12:03.210 --> 00:12:05.190
HE'LL MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN,
00:12:05.190 --> 00:12:07.050
'CAUSE IT'S HIM THAT BRINGS
00:12:07.050 --> 00:12:08.280
THE POWER.
00:12:08.280 --> 00:12:10.100
IT'S HIM, THE LORD JESUS,
00:12:10.100 --> 00:12:12.150
THAT HAS ALL AUTHORITY.
00:12:12.150 --> 00:12:13.130
IT'S HIM THAT PUSHES BACK
00:12:13.130 --> 00:12:15.040
THE FORCES OF DARKNESS.
00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:16.290
IT'S HIM THAT SETS PEOPLE FREE
00:12:16.290 --> 00:12:19.030
FROM ADDICTIONS AND ANGER
00:12:19.030 --> 00:12:20.200
AND LUSTS OF THE FLESH,
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.250
AND ALL THESE THINGS.
00:12:22.250 --> 00:12:23.270
IT'S HIM THAT BREAKS
00:12:23.270 --> 00:12:24.230
THAT STUFF RIGHT NOW.
00:12:24.230 --> 00:12:26.070
SO THE MORE HIS PRESENCE
00:12:26.070 --> 00:12:27.210
IS TANGIBLE AND REAL,
00:12:27.210 --> 00:12:29.190
THE MORE FREE WE GET.
00:12:29.190 --> 00:12:31.090
THE MORE JOY WE HAVE,
00:12:31.090 --> 00:12:32.290
THE MORE REST WE ENTER INTO.
00:12:32.290 --> 00:12:34.120
THE MORE GOOD WE CAN ENJOY,
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.010
AS WE ADVANCE HIS KINGDOM
00:12:36.010 --> 00:12:38.010
FOR OTHERS TO WALK
00:12:38.010 --> 00:12:39.140
IN THE SAME FREEDOM.
00:12:39.140 --> 00:12:40.180
SOMEBODY SAY AMEN.
00:12:40.180 --> 00:12:42.270
AMEN.
00:12:42.270 --> 00:12:43.180
HEBREWS 11:6.
00:12:43.180 --> 00:12:45.270
A FAVORITE VERSE, VERY QUICKLY.
00:12:45.270 --> 00:12:48.170
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS:
00:12:48.170 --> 00:12:49.210
"AND WITHOUT FAITH
00:12:49.210 --> 00:12:50.140
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM,
00:12:50.140 --> 00:12:51.250
FOR HE WHO COMES TO GOD
00:12:51.250 --> 00:12:53.170
MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS,"
00:12:53.170 --> 00:12:55.150
THAT HE EXISTS:
00:12:55.150 --> 00:12:56.100
"AND THAT HE'S A REWARDER
00:12:56.100 --> 00:12:57.110
OF THOSE WHO SEEK HIM."
00:12:57.110 --> 00:12:58.130
NOW, IN MY PERSONAL MINISTRY,
00:12:58.130 --> 00:13:00.060
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE MINISTRY
00:13:00.060 --> 00:13:02.030
THAT WE MINISTER, YOU KNOW,
00:13:02.030 --> 00:13:03.270
KIND OF AT GROUND LEVEL,
00:13:03.270 --> 00:13:04.270
ONE ANOTHER.
00:13:04.270 --> 00:13:05.260
PERSONALLY.
00:13:05.260 --> 00:13:06.180
YOU KNOW?
00:13:06.180 --> 00:13:07.150
AND THEN, WE HAVE MINISTRY
00:13:07.150 --> 00:13:08.220
WHERE WE'RE WORKING
00:13:08.220 --> 00:13:09.210
WITH CHURCHES,
00:13:09.210 --> 00:13:10.150
COMING TOGETHER,
00:13:10.150 --> 00:13:11.060
AND CITY-WIDE AND STATE-WIDE
00:13:11.060 --> 00:13:12.120
AND NATION-WIDE,
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:13.100
AND TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.
00:13:13.100 --> 00:13:14.230
AT ALL THESE DIFFERENT LEVELS
00:13:14.230 --> 00:13:16.030
WE'RE WORKING, ALL THE WHILE.
00:13:16.030 --> 00:13:18.000
AND I MEET PEOPLE,
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:19.240
AND THEY COME INTO
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.290
DIFFICULT TIMES, DRY TIMES,
00:13:21.290 --> 00:13:23.190
AND EVEN BEGIN TO WONDER, WELL,
00:13:23.190 --> 00:13:24.160
IS GOD EVEN REAL?
00:13:25.140 --> 00:13:28.140
AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST
00:13:28.140 --> 00:13:30.210
A LIE FROM THE DEVIL.
00:13:30.210 --> 00:13:31.190
OKAY?
00:13:31.190 --> 00:13:33.050
SO IF THE ENEMY TRIES TO HIT YOU
00:13:33.050 --> 00:13:35.110
WITH THAT,
00:13:35.110 --> 00:13:36.020
THAT IS GOD REALLY REAL?
00:13:36.020 --> 00:13:37.050
I'M HERE TO SAY TO YOU
00:13:37.050 --> 00:13:37.270
GOD IS REAL.
00:13:37.270 --> 00:13:38.220
HE'S PERSONAL.
00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:40.230
AND HE WANTS TO BE INVOLVED,
00:13:40.230 --> 00:13:42.070
HE'S NOT FAR OFF.
00:13:42.070 --> 00:13:43.270
HE'S A PERSONAL GOD
00:13:43.270 --> 00:13:45.040
THAT WANTS TO IMPACT
00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:45.230
EVERY SINGLE AREA OF YOUR LIFE.
00:13:45.230 --> 00:13:47.060
HE'S REAL.
00:13:47.060 --> 00:13:48.130
SO TO PLEASE HIM, FIRST OF ALL,
00:13:48.130 --> 00:13:50.080
YOU GOT TO BELIEVE
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:51.030
THAT HE EXISTS.
00:13:51.030 --> 00:13:52.090
THAT'S WHAT THE SCRIPTURE
00:13:52.090 --> 00:13:53.030
SAYS RIGHT THERE.
00:13:53.030 --> 00:13:53.190
HEBREWS 11:6.
00:13:53.190 --> 00:13:54.230
"BELIEVE THAT HE IS,
00:13:54.230 --> 00:13:55.290
AND THAT HE'S A REWARDER,"
00:13:55.290 --> 00:13:58.260
HE BLESSES THOSE
00:13:58.260 --> 00:14:00.070
THAT PURSUE HIM.
00:14:00.070 --> 00:14:02.120
LIKE ALL OF YOU TODAY.
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:03.280
JUST BY COMING TO CHURCH,
00:14:03.280 --> 00:14:05.160
TUNING IN, LISTENING,
00:14:05.160 --> 00:14:07.200
HE'S BLESSING YOU RIGHT NOW,
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.090
'CAUSE HE'S A REWARDER OF THOSE
00:14:09.090 --> 00:14:11.150
WHO SEEK HIM.
00:14:11.150 --> 00:14:12.270
OKAY?
00:14:12.270 --> 00:14:14.110
MY FAVORITE ILLUSTRATION,
00:14:14.110 --> 00:14:15.290
AND I USE IT ALL THE TIME,
00:14:15.290 --> 00:14:16.290
BUT I'M GOING TO KEEP USING IT
00:14:16.290 --> 00:14:18.090
'CAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
00:14:18.090 --> 00:14:19.050
OKAY?
00:14:19.050 --> 00:14:19.270
YOU'VE SEEN THE LITTLE SIGNS
00:14:19.270 --> 00:14:20.280
ON A LIGHT POST THAT SAYS,
00:14:20.280 --> 00:14:22.020
"LOST PUPPY."
00:14:22.020 --> 00:14:23.000
REWARD.
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:23.170
OKAY?
00:14:23.170 --> 00:14:24.140
PHONE NUMBER.
00:14:24.140 --> 00:14:25.090
AND YOU CALL A PHONE NUMBER,
00:14:25.090 --> 00:14:27.020
AND YOU LOOKED ALL DAY LONG
00:14:27.020 --> 00:14:29.050
FOR THAT PUPPY,
00:14:29.050 --> 00:14:30.030
AND YOU CALL THE PHONE NUMBER
00:14:30.030 --> 00:14:30.290
AND YOU ASK FOR THE REWARD.
00:14:30.290 --> 00:14:31.270
AND THEY'LL ASK YOU,
00:14:31.270 --> 00:14:32.190
"WELL, DID YOU FIND THE PUPPY?"
00:14:32.190 --> 00:14:33.200
NO, BUT I LOOKED REAL HARD.
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.180
HOW SILLY.
00:14:36.180 --> 00:14:39.060
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
00:14:39.060 --> 00:14:39.280
REWARD YOU FOR LOOKING.
00:14:39.280 --> 00:14:41.200
FINDING GETS A REWARD,
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:44.120
BUT IN GOD'S ECONOMY,
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:45.130
GOD REWARDS YOU FOR SEEKING
00:14:45.130 --> 00:14:47.210
AND LOOKING AFTER HIM --
00:14:47.210 --> 00:14:48.180
LOOKING FOR HIM, PURSUING HIM.
00:14:48.180 --> 00:14:50.020
THERE'S A REWARD.
00:14:50.020 --> 00:14:51.090
BE ENCOURAGED.
00:14:51.090 --> 00:14:54.000
HE'S GOING TO MEET YOU
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:54.190
MORE THAN HALFWAY.
00:14:54.190 --> 00:14:56.060
JUST TURN TO HIM.
00:14:56.060 --> 00:14:57.070
LOOK TO HIM.
00:14:57.070 --> 00:14:57.290
DON'T GIVE UP.
00:14:57.290 --> 00:14:58.290
KEEP TURNING TO THE LORD.
00:14:58.290 --> 00:15:00.130
DON'T GIVE UP SEEKING
00:15:00.130 --> 00:15:01.260
AFTER THE LORD.
00:15:01.260 --> 00:15:03.160
HE REWARDS THAT ACTIVITY.
00:15:03.160 --> 00:15:05.160
HE REWARDS THAT EFFORT.
00:15:05.160 --> 00:15:06.250
DON'T STOP.
00:15:06.250 --> 00:15:08.060
HE'S A PERSONAL GOD.
00:15:08.060 --> 00:15:10.120
HE'S A GOOD GOD.
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:12.060
HE WANTS YOUR HOUSE KNOWN
00:15:12.060 --> 00:15:12.290
FOR HIS PRESENCE.
00:15:12.290 --> 00:15:14.030
AMEN?
00:15:14.030 --> 00:15:15.040
OKAY.
00:15:15.040 --> 00:15:17.000
LET'S TRY IT ONE MORE TIME.
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:17.260
AMEN?
00:15:17.260 --> 00:15:18.160
NOW AMEN.
00:15:18.160 --> 00:15:19.230
ISAIAH 9:7.
00:15:19.230 --> 00:15:20.220
HE IS INCREASING,
00:15:20.220 --> 00:15:22.020
HE'S FOREVER INCREASING.
00:15:22.020 --> 00:15:23.060
I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS VERSE
00:15:23.060 --> 00:15:24.140
IN A NEW WAY.
00:15:24.140 --> 00:15:25.190
I LOVE THIS PROPHETIC VERSE
00:15:25.190 --> 00:15:26.280
WRITTEN HUNDREDS OF YEARS
00:15:26.280 --> 00:15:28.060
BEFORE JESUS WAS BORN,
00:15:28.060 --> 00:15:29.220
TALKING ABOUT JESUS.
00:15:29.220 --> 00:15:31.100
ISAIAH 9:7 SAYS: "THERE WILL BE
00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:33.200
NO END TO THE INCREASE
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.160
OF HIS GOVERNMENT," OKAY?
00:15:35.160 --> 00:15:38.140
ELSEWHERE, IT SAYS
00:15:38.140 --> 00:15:39.280
THE GOVERNMENT WILL REST
00:15:39.280 --> 00:15:41.240
ON HIS SHOULDERS.
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:42.240
OKAY?
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.020
GOD IS A GOD OF GOVERNMENT.
00:15:44.020 --> 00:15:46.130
HE GOVERNS, HE REIGNS AND RULES.
00:15:46.130 --> 00:15:49.020
AND HIS GOVERNMENT
00:15:49.020 --> 00:15:50.190
IS EVER INCREASING.
00:15:50.190 --> 00:15:51.250
IT SAYS THERE WILL BE NO END
00:15:51.250 --> 00:15:54.120
TO THE INCREASE
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:56.000
OF HIS GOVERNMENT.
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.120
THAT'S WHY WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
00:15:58.120 --> 00:15:59.270
IMPACTING GOVERNMENT.
00:15:59.270 --> 00:16:02.260
AMEN?
00:16:02.260 --> 00:16:03.230
YEAH.
00:16:03.230 --> 00:16:05.060
PRAYING FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY.
00:16:05.060 --> 00:16:07.160
THAT'S WHAT THE LORD SAYS
00:16:07.160 --> 00:16:08.130
FOR US TO DO.
00:16:08.130 --> 00:16:09.290
TO NOT PRAY FOR THOSE
00:16:09.290 --> 00:16:11.030
IN AUTHORITY IS A MISTAKE.
00:16:11.030 --> 00:16:12.270
FURTHER, IT'S ACTUALLY SIN.
00:16:12.270 --> 00:16:14.030
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE PRAYING
00:16:14.030 --> 00:16:16.000
FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN AUTHORITY.
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.160
SO OF THE LORD JESUS GOVERNMENT,
00:16:17.160 --> 00:16:20.070
IT SAYS THERE WILL BE NO END
00:16:20.070 --> 00:16:21.030
TO IT INCREASING.
00:16:21.030 --> 00:16:22.160
INCREASING.
00:16:22.160 --> 00:16:23.280
SO I WANT THERE TO BE
00:16:23.280 --> 00:16:25.040
CONTINUALLY INCREASING
00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:26.170
GOVERNANCE OF THE LORD
00:16:26.170 --> 00:16:29.140
IN YOUR LIFE.
00:16:29.140 --> 00:16:30.260
IN MY LIFE.
00:16:30.260 --> 00:16:33.050
I WANT HIM TO BE INCREASINGLY
00:16:33.050 --> 00:16:35.230
GOVERNING EVERY OUNCE
00:16:35.230 --> 00:16:36.230
OF MY BEING.
00:16:36.230 --> 00:16:39.050
NOTHING BEING HELD BACK
00:16:39.050 --> 00:16:40.070
FROM HIM.
00:16:40.070 --> 00:16:41.210
'CAUSE THE SCRIPTURE
00:16:41.210 --> 00:16:42.100
SAYS SUBMIT, THEREFORE, TO GOD.
00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:44.050
RESIST THE DEVIL.
00:16:44.050 --> 00:16:45.080
HE'LL FLEE.
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.170
IN THOSE PLACES WHERE
00:16:47.170 --> 00:16:49.150
WE'RE NOT SUBMITTED TO THE LORD,
00:16:49.150 --> 00:16:51.280
IT'S HARD TO RESIST THE DEVIL,
00:16:51.280 --> 00:16:53.210
SO HE DOESN'T FLEE.
00:16:53.210 --> 00:16:55.120
BUT EVERY PLACE
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:56.280
THAT WE'VE SUBMITTED TO GOD,
00:16:56.280 --> 00:16:58.250
JESUS STANDS THERE.
00:16:59.150 --> 00:17:02.170
THE DEVIL TAKES A LOOK AT JESUS,
00:17:02.170 --> 00:17:03.250
AND HE'S OUT.
00:17:03.250 --> 00:17:05.020
HE DON'T WANT TO BE TORMENTED.
00:17:05.020 --> 00:17:07.240
SO THERE'S MISTAKES
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:09.090
IN THE PAST, OKAY.
00:17:09.090 --> 00:17:10.280
YOU'RE IN THE PAST.
00:17:10.280 --> 00:17:12.250
SUBMIT THEM TO THE LORD.
00:17:12.250 --> 00:17:14.070
THEN, WHEN YOU RESIST THE ENEMY,
00:17:14.070 --> 00:17:16.130
HE HAS GOT TO GO.
00:17:16.130 --> 00:17:18.140
HE'S GOT TO LEAVE.
00:17:18.140 --> 00:17:19.200
AMEN?
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:20.260
THAT'S A GOOD WORD RIGHT THERE.
00:17:20.260 --> 00:17:22.090
SO WE WANT HIS GOVERNMENT,
00:17:22.090 --> 00:17:23.200
HIS ORDER, HIS REIGN,
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.060
HIS RULE, HIS KINGDOM,
00:17:26.060 --> 00:17:28.050
HIS KINGLY SPHERE,
00:17:28.050 --> 00:17:30.000
TO BE INCREASING.
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:32.100
AND THE SCRIPTURE SAYS
00:17:32.100 --> 00:17:34.270
THERE WILL BE NO END TO
00:17:34.270 --> 00:17:35.230
THE INCREASE OF HIS GOVERNMENT
00:17:35.230 --> 00:17:36.240
OR OF HIS PEACE.
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:37.120
"ON THE THRONE OF DAVID
00:17:37.120 --> 00:17:38.080
AND OVER HIS KINGDOM,
00:17:38.080 --> 00:17:39.100
TO ESTABLISH IT," TO UPHOLD IT:
00:17:39.100 --> 00:17:40.210
"WITH JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:17:40.210 --> 00:17:42.060
FROM THEN ON, AND FOREVER MORE.
00:17:42.060 --> 00:17:43.260
THE ZEAL OF THE LORD OF HOSTS
00:17:43.260 --> 00:17:45.120
WILL ACCOMPLISH THIS."
00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:46.210
SO IN THE NAME OF JESUS,
00:17:46.210 --> 00:17:47.220
I IMPART TO YOU A ZEAL FOR
00:17:47.220 --> 00:17:49.180
THE LORD TO GOVERN YOUR HOUSE.
00:17:49.180 --> 00:17:52.080
INCREASINGLY SO.
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.240
INCREASINGLY SO.
00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:56.180
PROVERBS 4:18.
00:17:56.180 --> 00:17:58.070
"BUT THE PATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS
00:17:58.070 --> 00:18:00.130
IS LIKE THE LIGHT OF DAWN,
00:18:00.130 --> 00:18:01.210
THAT SHINES BRIGHTER
00:18:01.210 --> 00:18:03.220
AND BRIGHTER
00:18:03.220 --> 00:18:04.160
UNTIL THE FULL DAY."
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:06.180
SO I DECLARE OVER US
00:18:06.180 --> 00:18:08.160
THAT THE LIGHT ON US
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:09.100
IS SHINING BRIGHTER
00:18:09.100 --> 00:18:10.180
AND BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER
00:18:10.180 --> 00:18:11.270
TO THE FULLNESS OF FULL DAY.
00:18:11.270 --> 00:18:13.050
AMEN?
00:18:13.050 --> 00:18:14.000
I DECLARE IT'S INCREASING,
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.050
MORE AND MORE LIGHT.
00:18:16.050 --> 00:18:17.250
MORE AND MORE OF HIS PRESENCE.
00:18:17.250 --> 00:18:19.290
YOU ARE A HOUSE KNOWN
00:18:19.290 --> 00:18:21.210
FOR THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:18:21.210 --> 00:18:23.170
SO WHEN YOU WALK INTO
00:18:23.170 --> 00:18:25.140
THE GROCERY STORE,
00:18:25.140 --> 00:18:26.170
THE PRESENCE OF GOD
00:18:26.170 --> 00:18:27.240
IS SHINING BRIGHTER
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:29.130
AND BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER.
00:18:29.130 --> 00:18:31.080
THE INCREASE OF HIS GOVERNANCE
00:18:31.080 --> 00:18:33.030
IS INCREASING AND INCREASING
00:18:33.030 --> 00:18:34.180
AND INCREASING.
00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:36.030
THE INCREASE OF PEACE
00:18:36.030 --> 00:18:37.040
IN THAT ATMOSPHERE IS INCREASING
00:18:37.040 --> 00:18:39.080
AND INCREASING AND INCREASING.
00:18:39.080 --> 00:18:41.030
SO AS I WALKED INTO THE HEAD --
00:18:41.030 --> 00:18:42.170
THE OFFICES OF A CERTAIN NATION
00:18:43.070 --> 00:18:46.070
THIS PAST WEEK, AND I SENSED
00:18:46.070 --> 00:18:48.080
THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD.
00:18:48.080 --> 00:18:50.150
AND THE LORD GAVE ME
00:18:50.150 --> 00:18:51.130
PROPHETIC WORD
00:18:51.130 --> 00:18:52.150
FOR THAT HEAD OF STATE,
00:18:52.150 --> 00:18:53.090
AND MINISTERED TO HIM,
00:18:53.090 --> 00:18:54.170
I KNEW THAT I KNEW THAT
00:18:54.170 --> 00:18:57.040
THE KINGDOM OF GOD WAS ADVANCING
00:18:57.040 --> 00:18:58.150
OVER THAT NATION.
00:18:58.150 --> 00:19:00.200
AMEN?
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.010
YEAH.
00:19:02.010 --> 00:19:02.180
IT'S REAL.
00:19:02.180 --> 00:19:03.060
IT'S TANGIBLE.
00:19:03.060 --> 00:19:04.060
IT'S PRACTICAL.
00:19:04.060 --> 00:19:05.130
THIS IS NOT JUST A RELIGIOUS
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:08.160
VERBIAGE THAT SOUNDS NICE,
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:10.060
'CAUSE WE'RE IN CHURCH.
00:19:10.060 --> 00:19:12.120
WE'RE ADVANCING
00:19:12.120 --> 00:19:13.280
THE KINGDOM OF GOD,
00:19:13.280 --> 00:19:14.260
IN THE KINGDOMS OF THE EARTH,
00:19:14.260 --> 00:19:16.060
AND WE DO THAT HERE, LOCALLY.
00:19:16.060 --> 00:19:18.260
WE DO IT IN OUR CITY,
00:19:18.260 --> 00:19:19.230
IN OUR STATE,
00:19:19.230 --> 00:19:20.110
IN OUR NATION,
00:19:20.110 --> 00:19:21.020
AND THE REMOTEST PART
00:19:21.020 --> 00:19:21.240
OF THE EARTH.
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.140
THAT'S THE MANDATE OF THE LORD,
00:19:22.140 --> 00:19:23.220
ACCORDING TO ACTS 1:8.
00:19:23.220 --> 00:19:25.130
HE TELLS US THAT.
00:19:25.130 --> 00:19:26.240
SO WE EXPECT HIS GOVERNANCE,
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.160
HIS PRESENCE, TO INCREASE MORE
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:31.240
AND MORE AND MORE.
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:34.210
IT'S GETTING BRIGHTER
00:19:34.210 --> 00:19:36.230
AND BRIGHTER.
00:19:36.230 --> 00:19:37.270
I DON'T CARE WHAT THE DEVIL
00:19:37.270 --> 00:19:38.230
SAYS ABOUT THE DARKNESS.
00:19:38.230 --> 00:19:39.290
HE CAN SCREAM ALL HE WANTS.
00:19:39.290 --> 00:19:41.260
THE DEVIL IS A MOUSE
00:19:41.260 --> 00:19:43.030
WITH A MICROPHONE.
00:19:43.030 --> 00:19:44.290
AND I'M TELLING YOU
00:19:44.290 --> 00:19:46.280
THAT THE DEVIL HAS NO AUTHORITY
00:19:46.280 --> 00:19:48.250
COMPARED TO THE AUTHORITY
00:19:48.250 --> 00:19:49.200
OF THE LORD JESUS.
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:51.290
JESUS SAID, "I HAVE
00:19:51.290 --> 00:19:52.180
ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN
00:19:52.180 --> 00:19:53.130
AND EARTH."
00:19:53.130 --> 00:19:54.130
THAT'S JESUS.
00:19:54.130 --> 00:19:55.250
SO IF JESUS HAS ALL
00:19:55.250 --> 00:19:56.250
OF THE AUTHORITY,
00:19:56.250 --> 00:19:57.190
THE DEVIL HAS NONE.
00:19:57.190 --> 00:19:58.100
SO DON'T GIVE HIM ANY.
00:19:58.100 --> 00:19:59.110
LET GOD'S GOVERNANCE,
00:20:00.040 --> 00:20:03.040
HIS PRESENCE INCREASE IN YOU,
00:20:03.040 --> 00:20:05.030
SO THE ENEMY
00:20:05.030 --> 00:20:06.040
HAS LESS AND LESS INFLUENCE.
00:20:06.040 --> 00:20:08.080
WE CAN RESIST HIM,
00:20:08.080 --> 00:20:09.010
AND HE HAS TO FLEE.
00:20:09.010 --> 00:20:10.050
AMEN?
00:20:10.050 --> 00:20:11.010
ALL RIGHT.
00:20:11.010 --> 00:20:12.050
SO NOW, AS WE LOOK FORWARD,
00:20:12.050 --> 00:20:14.260
VERY QUICKLY, HAGGAI 2:9 SAYS:
00:20:14.260 --> 00:20:17.220
"THE LATTER GLORY OF THIS HOUSE
00:20:17.220 --> 00:20:19.000
WILL BE GREATER
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:19.220
THAN THE FORMER."
00:20:19.220 --> 00:20:21.020
OKAY? THE HOUSE OF GOD,
00:20:21.020 --> 00:20:21.260
THE PEOPLE OF GOD.
00:20:21.260 --> 00:20:23.030
THE LATTER GLORY OF THIS HOUSE.
00:20:23.030 --> 00:20:24.270
REMEMBER?
00:20:24.270 --> 00:20:25.290
TITLE OF THE MESSAGE IS,
00:20:25.290 --> 00:20:27.050
"A HOUSE KNOWN
00:20:27.050 --> 00:20:28.040
FOR HIS PRESENCE".
00:20:28.040 --> 00:20:29.100
SO HE SAYS THAT GOD,
00:20:29.100 --> 00:20:32.030
THE LORD OF ANGEL ARMIES,
00:20:32.030 --> 00:20:33.080
IS DECLARING THAT THE GLORY
00:20:33.080 --> 00:20:36.000
OF THE LATTER HOUSE
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:37.120
THAT WE'RE IN NOW IS GREATER
00:20:37.120 --> 00:20:38.250
THAN THE FORMER.
00:20:38.250 --> 00:20:40.240
THE SECOND COVENANT, THE GLORY,
00:20:40.290 --> 00:20:43.290
RESIDENT OVER THE HOUSE
00:20:43.290 --> 00:20:45.250
IS GREATER THAN THE FIRST.
00:20:45.250 --> 00:20:48.110
REMEMBER, THE FIRST,
00:20:48.110 --> 00:20:49.110
MOSES HAD TO GO SET UP A TENT
00:20:49.110 --> 00:20:50.170
OUTSIDE OF WHERE THEY WERE,
00:20:50.170 --> 00:20:52.030
THE TENT OF MEETING,
00:20:52.030 --> 00:20:53.040
AND MEET WITH GOD OUT THERE.
00:20:53.040 --> 00:20:54.100
AND THE GLORY WAS THERE,
00:20:54.100 --> 00:20:56.190
AND EVERYBODY STOOD
00:20:56.190 --> 00:20:57.160
AT THE DOORWAY OF THEIR TENTS,
00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:58.190
WORSHIPING,
00:20:58.190 --> 00:20:59.120
WHEN MOSES WENT IN THERE,
00:20:59.120 --> 00:21:00.070
AND THEY WAITED,
00:21:00.070 --> 00:21:00.270
AND THEY WERE WORSHIPING
00:21:00.270 --> 00:21:01.210
'TIL MOSES CAME OUT
00:21:01.210 --> 00:21:02.170
AND SPOKE TO THEM.
00:21:02.170 --> 00:21:03.230
AND HE HAD TO COVER HIMSELF,
00:21:03.230 --> 00:21:05.080
OKAY?
00:21:05.080 --> 00:21:06.140
SO LET'S LOOK AT A COUPLE
00:21:06.140 --> 00:21:07.110
OF SCRIPTURES IN 2 CORINTHIANS.
00:21:07.110 --> 00:21:08.200
FIRST, 2 CORINTHIANS 2:14.
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.000
REAL QUICKLY.
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:11.220
2 CORINTHIANS 2:14.
00:21:11.220 --> 00:21:14.060
"BUT THANKS BE TO GOD,
00:21:14.060 --> 00:21:15.050
WHO ALWAYS LEADS US
00:21:15.050 --> 00:21:16.060
IN HIS TRIUMPH IN CHRIST," --
00:21:16.060 --> 00:21:17.160
SOMEBODY SAY, "TRIUMPH."
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.150
SAY, "VICTORY."
00:21:19.150 --> 00:21:22.090
"IN CHRIST, AND MANIFESTS
00:21:22.090 --> 00:21:23.220
THROUGH US THE SWEET AROMA
00:21:23.220 --> 00:21:24.280
OF THE KNOWLEDGE
00:21:24.280 --> 00:21:26.180
OF HIM IN EVERY PLACE."
00:21:27.020 --> 00:21:30.020
SO IF WE'RE CARRIERS
00:21:30.020 --> 00:21:31.130
INCREASINGLY OF HIS PRESENCE,
00:21:31.130 --> 00:21:32.240
THE AROMA OF HIS PRESENCE
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:34.040
AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH
00:21:34.040 --> 00:21:35.290
OF HIM IS IN EVERY PLACE WE GO.
00:21:35.290 --> 00:21:38.080
OKAY?
00:21:38.080 --> 00:21:39.180
THAT'S NOW.
00:21:39.180 --> 00:21:40.220
IN THE OLD COVENANT,
00:21:40.220 --> 00:21:42.170
IN THE OLD PACT, THE SPIRIT
00:21:42.180 --> 00:21:45.180
OF THE LORD WOULD REST AND LIFT.
00:21:45.180 --> 00:21:47.180
REST AND LIFT.
00:21:47.180 --> 00:21:48.250
AND THERE -- IT CAME OVER
00:21:48.250 --> 00:21:49.280
THE PROPHET, AND THE PROPHET
00:21:49.280 --> 00:21:50.290
BECAME A CRAZY PERSON.
00:21:50.290 --> 00:21:53.270
NOT BAD CRAZY, BUT UNBELIEVABLE.
00:21:53.270 --> 00:21:56.200
SPOKE THE WORD OF GOD
00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:58.070
AND FIRE CAME DOWN.
00:21:58.070 --> 00:21:59.240
I MEAN, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:01.240
WOULD COME ON SOMEBODY.
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:04.150
NOW, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD'S
00:22:04.150 --> 00:22:05.160
ON US, PERMANENTLY.
00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:07.030
WE JUST NEED TO ASK HIM
00:22:07.030 --> 00:22:09.180
TO MANIFEST
00:22:09.180 --> 00:22:11.000
AND INCREASE HIS PRESENCE.
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:13.030
LET THAT AROMA BE TANGIBLE,
00:22:13.180 --> 00:22:16.180
INVITE IT SO.
00:22:16.180 --> 00:22:17.280
PURSUE IT.
00:22:17.280 --> 00:22:18.290
HE REWARDS THOSE THAT PURSUE,
00:22:18.290 --> 00:22:20.290
SEARCH FOR, SEEK HIM OUT.
00:22:20.290 --> 00:22:23.010
HE -- THAT REWARD COME TO YOU,
00:22:23.050 --> 00:22:26.050
ACCORDING TO HEBREWS 11:6.
00:22:26.050 --> 00:22:28.060
NOW, 2 CORINTHIANS 3.
00:22:28.060 --> 00:22:29.280
LET'S BEGIN WITH
00:22:29.280 --> 00:22:32.140
2 CORINTHIANS 3:8.
00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:33.250
"HOW SHALL THE MINISTRY
00:22:33.250 --> 00:22:35.010
OF THE SPIRIT FAIL TO BE EVEN
00:22:35.010 --> 00:22:36.030
WITH MORE GLORY?"
00:22:36.030 --> 00:22:37.090
I'M JUMPING RIGHT INTO
00:22:37.090 --> 00:22:38.020
THE CONVERSATION.
00:22:38.020 --> 00:22:38.260
MOSES, THERE WAS GLORY.
00:22:38.260 --> 00:22:40.010
PHENOMENAL.
00:22:40.010 --> 00:22:41.220
BUT NOW, WE'RE IN THE SPIRIT,
00:22:41.220 --> 00:22:43.030
WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD
00:22:43.030 --> 00:22:43.270
DOESN'T LIFT, IT RESTS,
00:22:43.270 --> 00:22:45.280
AND WE'RE SEALED BY HIS SPIRIT.
00:22:45.280 --> 00:22:48.040
OKAY?
00:22:48.040 --> 00:22:49.100
"FOR IF THE MINISTRY
00:22:49.100 --> 00:22:51.020
OF CONDEMNATION HAS GLORY,"
00:22:51.020 --> 00:22:52.100
THAT'S THE LAW:
00:22:52.100 --> 00:22:53.060
"MUCH MORE DOES THE MINISTRY
00:22:53.060 --> 00:22:54.100
OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
00:22:54.100 --> 00:22:54.270
ABOUND IN GLORY.
00:22:54.270 --> 00:22:56.050
FOR INDEED, WHAT HAD GLORY
00:22:56.050 --> 00:22:57.130
IN THIS CASE HAS NO GLORY
00:22:57.130 --> 00:22:58.180
ON ACCOUNT OF THE GLORY
00:22:58.180 --> 00:22:59.190
THAT SURPASSES IT.
00:22:59.190 --> 00:23:01.040
FOR IF THAT WHICH FADES AWAY
00:23:01.040 --> 00:23:02.090
WAS WITH GLORY, MUCH MORE
00:23:02.090 --> 00:23:04.070
THAT WHICH REMAINS," --
00:23:04.070 --> 00:23:06.250
WE'RE SEALED, REMAINS IN GLORY.
00:23:09.060 --> 00:23:12.060
"HAVING, THEREFORE,
00:23:12.060 --> 00:23:12.280
SUCH A HOPE,"
00:23:12.280 --> 00:23:13.260
BECAUSE WE KNOW THIS.
00:23:13.260 --> 00:23:15.060
LOOK AT SOMEBODY AND SAY,
00:23:15.060 --> 00:23:16.270
"I KNOW THIS."
00:23:16.270 --> 00:23:18.120
NOW, LOOK AT SOMEBODY ELSE
00:23:18.120 --> 00:23:20.140
AND SAY, "I REALLY KNOW THIS."
00:23:20.140 --> 00:23:23.060
NOW, LOOK AT
00:23:23.060 --> 00:23:24.040
2 CORINTHIANS 3:12 AGAIN.
00:23:24.040 --> 00:23:25.140
"HAVING, THEREFORE,
00:23:25.140 --> 00:23:28.040
SUCH A HOPE,
00:23:28.040 --> 00:23:28.270
WE USE GREAT BOLDNESS
00:23:28.270 --> 00:23:30.020
IN OUR SPEECH."
00:23:30.020 --> 00:23:32.040
THAT'S WHY I CAN WALK INTO
00:23:32.040 --> 00:23:34.110
A SEAT OF GOVERNMENT
00:23:34.110 --> 00:23:35.180
IN THE NAME OF JESUS
00:23:35.180 --> 00:23:36.240
AND DECLARE THE GOODNESS
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:38.110
AND PRESENCE OF GOD
00:23:38.110 --> 00:23:39.110
DISPLACING THE FORCES OF EVIL.
00:23:39.110 --> 00:23:41.190
YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD PLACE
00:23:41.190 --> 00:23:43.280
TO CLAP TO THE LORD.
00:23:43.280 --> 00:23:45.120
THIS IS REAL, IT'S TANGIBLE,
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:52.160
IT'S PRACTICAL.
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:53.100
IT'S EFFECTIVE.
00:23:53.100 --> 00:23:56.100
AND GOD IS WINNING, AMEN?
00:23:56.100 --> 00:23:58.240
LET'S KEEP READING.
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:01.200
"AND WERE NOT LIKE MOSES,
00:24:03.190 --> 00:24:06.190
WHO USED TO PUT A VEIL
00:24:06.190 --> 00:24:07.230
OVER HIS FACE SO THAT
00:24:07.230 --> 00:24:09.010
THE SONS OF ISRAEL MIGHT NOT
00:24:09.010 --> 00:24:10.050
LOOK INTENTLY AT THE END
00:24:10.050 --> 00:24:11.020
OF WHAT WAS FADING AWAY."
00:24:11.020 --> 00:24:11.270
LET ME STOP THERE.
00:24:11.270 --> 00:24:13.220
SO THE LORD IS SAYING NOW
00:24:15.070 --> 00:24:18.070
THAT EVERY ONE OF US IS CARRIERS
00:24:19.010 --> 00:24:22.010
AND ARE A HOUSE KNOWN
00:24:22.010 --> 00:24:23.080
FOR HIS PRESENCE.
00:24:23.080 --> 00:24:25.260
LET US ASK NOW THAT
00:24:25.260 --> 00:24:28.130
THAT BE MANIFEST IN INCREASING
00:24:28.130 --> 00:24:31.120
AND TANGIBLE WAYS.
00:24:31.120 --> 00:24:33.140
AMEN?
00:24:33.140 --> 00:24:34.040
THANKS FOR TUNING IN TODAY,
00:24:39.180 --> 00:24:40.120
AS WE CONCLUDED
00:24:40.120 --> 00:24:41.270
WITH THE LATTER GLORY
00:24:41.270 --> 00:24:43.170
OF THE HOUSE,
00:24:43.170 --> 00:24:45.210
BEING MORE GLORIOUS
00:24:45.210 --> 00:24:47.040
THAN THE FORMER.
00:24:47.040 --> 00:24:48.280
IT REMINDS ME OF ONE OF
00:24:48.280 --> 00:24:49.260
MY FAVORITE PARABLES,
00:24:49.260 --> 00:24:51.220
WHERE THE LORD JESUS
00:24:51.220 --> 00:24:53.010
IS COMPARING
00:24:53.010 --> 00:24:53.220
THE TARES AND THE WHEAT,
00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:54.260
AND HE SAYS THAT THE END
00:24:54.260 --> 00:24:56.070
OF THE AGE IS THE HARVEST.
00:24:56.070 --> 00:24:58.220
THE HARVEST
00:24:58.220 --> 00:25:00.040
IS THE END OF THE AGE,
00:25:00.040 --> 00:25:01.100
AND IT'S VERY CLEAR
00:25:01.100 --> 00:25:02.260
THAT DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN
00:25:02.260 --> 00:25:04.210
THE WHEAT AND THE TARES
00:25:04.210 --> 00:25:06.180
IS VERY CLEAR
00:25:06.180 --> 00:25:07.120
WHEN BOTH ARE MATURE.
00:25:07.120 --> 00:25:09.040
WELL, IT'S EASY TO SEE EVIL,
00:25:09.040 --> 00:25:11.230
MATURING IF YOU WILL,
00:25:11.230 --> 00:25:13.250
ALL OVER THE WORLD.
00:25:13.250 --> 00:25:15.090
AND ESPECIALLY IN OUR COUNTRY,
00:25:15.090 --> 00:25:17.230
AND WHETHER IT'S MURDER OR CRIME
00:25:17.230 --> 00:25:20.180
OR EVIL ALL OVER THE PLACE,
00:25:20.180 --> 00:25:22.210
JUST SEEMS TO BE
00:25:22.210 --> 00:25:23.170
GETTING WORSE AND WORSE.
00:25:23.170 --> 00:25:24.170
BUT I HAVE GOOD NEWS.
00:25:24.170 --> 00:25:26.120
I BELIEVE THAT
00:25:26.120 --> 00:25:27.120
THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS
00:25:27.120 --> 00:25:29.020
OF GOD'S KINGDOM
00:25:29.020 --> 00:25:29.250
ARE COMING TO FULL MATURITY,
00:25:29.250 --> 00:25:30.280
THAT THE BODY OF CHRIST
00:25:30.280 --> 00:25:32.000
IS COMING TO FULL BLOOM,
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:33.160
AND GREAT EXPRESSION
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:36.100
OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:25:36.100 --> 00:25:38.230
JUST LIKE MOSES PRAYED.
00:25:38.230 --> 00:25:40.120
"LORD, IF YOUR PRESENCE
00:25:40.120 --> 00:25:41.170
DOESN'T GO WITH US,
00:25:41.170 --> 00:25:43.080
WHAT WILL DIFFERENTIATE US,
00:25:43.080 --> 00:25:45.100
WHAT WILL DISTINGUISH US
00:25:45.100 --> 00:25:46.120
FROM THE REST OF THE PEOPLES
00:25:46.120 --> 00:25:47.250
OF THE EARTH?"
00:25:47.250 --> 00:25:49.000
IT IS, MY FRIENDS, IN FACT,
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:51.150
THE PRESENCE OF GOD
00:25:51.150 --> 00:25:53.000
IN OUR LIVES.
00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:55.130
WE ARE TO CARRY
00:25:55.130 --> 00:25:56.200
THE PRESENCE OF GOD
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:57.260
WHEREVER WE GO,
00:25:57.260 --> 00:25:59.000
AND YOU CAN DO THAT,
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:00.110
AS YOU DRAW CLOSER TO THE LORD.
00:26:00.110 --> 00:26:01.240
FOR HE WANTS TO HAVE
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:03.230
A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP
00:26:03.230 --> 00:26:05.040
WITH YOU.
00:26:05.040 --> 00:26:06.220
NOT FAR OFF, NOT IMPERSONAL,
00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:09.000
BUT CLOSE TO GOD.
00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:10.190
AND YOU BEGIN BY ASKING JESUS
00:26:10.190 --> 00:26:12.050
TO COME INTO YOUR LIFE,
00:26:12.050 --> 00:26:13.140
TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS,
00:26:13.140 --> 00:26:15.220
TO BECOME THE LORD
00:26:15.220 --> 00:26:18.030
OF YOUR LIFE.
00:26:18.030 --> 00:26:18.290
AND IF YOU WOULD DO THAT,
00:26:18.290 --> 00:26:19.240
JUST PRAY WITH ME RIGHT NOW.
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:21.060
AND SAY, "LORD JESUS,
00:26:21.060 --> 00:26:22.220
COME INTO MY LIFE.
00:26:22.220 --> 00:26:25.120
FORGIVE ME OF MY SINS.
00:26:25.120 --> 00:26:26.180
BE THE LORD OF MY LIFE,
00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:29.130
RIGHT NOW."
00:26:29.130 --> 00:26:30.140
AMEN.
00:26:30.140 --> 00:26:32.000
IF YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER,
