  • Taffi: we want to talk about this area this morning
  • 00:01:53.750 --> 00:01:56.686
  • Concerning the wonders of god because so many times the
  • 00:01:56.686 --> 00:01:59.989
  • Scriptures remind us to be like little children as we enter into
  • 00:01:59.989 --> 00:02:06.930
  • The things of god so that we can understand how a childlike
  • 00:02:06.930 --> 00:02:11.301
  • Attitude approaches the things of god and just in the earthly
  • 00:02:11.301 --> 00:02:15.805
  • Realm, looks up in a place of humility, in a place of openness
  • 00:02:15.805 --> 00:02:21.978
  • And in a place of amazement and wonder.
  • 00:02:21.978 --> 00:02:25.515
  • So many times in the life of a child it doesn't take a whole
  • 00:02:25.515 --> 00:02:28.585
  • Lot to be amazed.
  • 00:02:28.585 --> 00:02:31.254
  • They can just, in the moment of just most simplest easiest
  • 00:02:31.254 --> 00:02:35.792
  • Thing, just find wonder in it.
  • 00:02:35.792 --> 00:02:38.561
  • And so, it is my prayer today that as we have that childlike
  • 00:02:38.561 --> 00:02:43.633
  • Attitude and reflect on who god is and just be amazed in a place
  • 00:02:43.633 --> 00:02:49.138
  • Of being astonished by all the marvelous things that he's doing
  • 00:02:49.138 --> 00:02:54.744
  • In our life.
  • 00:02:54.744 --> 00:02:56.079
  • Indeed today he is the god of wonders.
  • 00:02:56.079 --> 00:02:59.816
  • Look at isaiah chapter 9, verse 6, we'll start there and we'll
  • 00:02:59.816 --> 00:03:05.121
  • Look at a couple of scriptures that says, "for unto us a child
  • 00:03:05.121 --> 00:03:08.458
  • Is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon
  • 00:03:08.458 --> 00:03:13.096
  • His shoulder: and his name shall be called
  • 00:03:13.096 --> 00:03:19.502
  • Wonderful, counsellor,
  • 00:03:19.502 --> 00:03:23.673
  • The mighty god, the everlasting father, the prince of peace."
  • 00:03:23.673 --> 00:03:30.613
  • We see here in isaiah's account in the description of our lord
  • 00:03:30.613 --> 00:03:36.653
  • And savior jesus christ.
  • 00:03:36.653 --> 00:03:38.021
  • He refers to him as wonderful.
  • 00:03:38.021 --> 00:03:41.457
  • He says the wonderful counsellor because god is a god of not just
  • 00:03:41.457 --> 00:03:47.530
  • A few wonders, but he is full of wonders today.
  • 00:03:47.530 --> 00:03:51.834
  • And so, he says, he describes himself as the prince of peace,
  • 00:03:51.834 --> 00:03:56.606
  • The everlasting father, the mighty god and he also says, the
  • 00:03:56.606 --> 00:04:02.245
  • Wonderful counsellor.
  • 00:04:02.245 --> 00:04:06.916
  • And so, when we establish some things concerning his wonder, in
  • 00:04:06.916 --> 00:04:10.386
  • Essence what we're talking about, is his ability to put his
  • 00:04:10.386 --> 00:04:16.292
  • Glory on display in our lives.
  • 00:04:16.292 --> 00:04:19.729
  • His ability for us to recognize and delight in who he is and all
  • 00:04:19.729 --> 00:04:25.268
  • That he is.
  • 00:04:25.268 --> 00:04:26.602
  • That he is full of wonders.
  • 00:04:26.602 --> 00:04:29.272
  • And so, when we understand that, we recognize the vastness of
  • 00:04:29.272 --> 00:04:35.278
  • Our god.
  • 00:04:35.278 --> 00:04:36.646
  • That word wonder is pele in the hebrew.
  • 00:04:36.646 --> 00:04:41.617
  • And it means unusual, extraordinary,
  • 00:04:41.617 --> 00:04:49.392
  • Marvelous, hard to understand.
  • 00:04:49.392 --> 00:04:55.398
  • If we were to look back on our lives and look at where god has
  • 00:04:55.398 --> 00:05:00.603
  • Brought us from, many of you who are seated here today.
  • 00:05:00.603 --> 00:05:06.776
  • How unusual it would be that you would be seated here in college
  • 00:05:06.776 --> 00:05:11.981
  • Park in the midst of a miracle.
  • 00:05:11.981 --> 00:05:16.986
  • That's because he's a wonderful god, and he is full of wonders.
  • 00:05:16.986 --> 00:05:22.892
  • I recollect it how back in the '90s when we were over in the
  • 00:05:22.892 --> 00:05:29.699
  • Chapel and we were full in all of our services and it was the
  • 00:05:29.699 --> 00:05:34.604
  • Time to expand and we recognize that perhaps god would want us
  • 00:05:34.604 --> 00:05:41.844
  • To build a bigger building and we saw the vision.
  • 00:05:41.844 --> 00:05:46.115
  • Many of you were there, pictures were there that we stretched our
  • 00:05:46.115 --> 00:05:49.519
  • Hands toward speaking to the mountain, calling those things
  • 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:54.724
  • That be not as though they were.
  • 00:05:54.724 --> 00:05:58.094
  • This area was vacant.
  • 00:05:58.094 --> 00:05:59.862
  • There was nothing here.
  • 00:05:59.862 --> 00:06:02.265
  • That building over there was cave mart and ridgeway and none
  • 00:06:02.265 --> 00:06:05.334
  • Of this was in effect.
  • 00:06:05.334 --> 00:06:08.838
  • But you know what?
  • 00:06:08.838 --> 00:06:10.706
  • We had no money.
  • 00:06:10.706 --> 00:06:12.708
  • They said we weren't a church old enough to qualify for
  • 00:06:12.708 --> 00:06:16.279
  • A loan.
  • 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:17.980
  • No one would give us money if we begged and pleaded and cried.
  • 00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:21.951
  • And pastor paul, one of our assistant pastors, he did
  • 00:06:21.951 --> 00:06:25.555
  • All that.
  • 00:06:25.555 --> 00:06:26.889
  • He begged, he met, he talked, he did everything that he could do.
  • 00:06:26.889 --> 00:06:29.459
  • They said absolutely not.
  • 00:06:29.459 --> 00:06:32.929
  • But thank god that he's a god of wonder.
  • 00:06:32.929 --> 00:06:37.667
  • And i'm telling you when we walked in here, it wasn't just
  • 00:06:37.667 --> 00:06:41.137
  • Something that was prayed for, but it was something that was
  • 00:06:41.137 --> 00:06:44.540
  • What paid for.
  • 00:06:44.540 --> 00:06:48.311
  • Talking about the god of wonders this morning, you are sitting in
  • 00:06:48.311 --> 00:06:53.049
  • The middle of a wonder of god.
  • 00:06:53.049 --> 00:06:57.353
  • And when you look back over your life, there are things that are
  • 00:06:57.353 --> 00:07:00.256
  • Just unusual.
  • 00:07:00.256 --> 00:07:03.793
  • There are things that are just out of the ordinary, that are
  • 00:07:03.793 --> 00:07:08.364
  • Just marvelous.
  • 00:07:08.364 --> 00:07:11.834
  • And that's the god that we serve.
  • 00:07:11.834 --> 00:07:15.671
  • And so when we look at this, as i mentioned in mark chapter 10,
  • 00:07:15.671 --> 00:07:20.643
  • Verse 14, let's look at that.
  • 00:07:20.643 --> 00:07:25.214
  • Mark chapter 10, verse 14.
  • 00:07:25.214 --> 00:07:27.550
  • It says, "but when jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and say
  • 00:07:27.550 --> 00:07:35.057
  • Unto them, 'suffer the little children to come unto me, and
  • 00:07:35.057 --> 00:07:41.230
  • Forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.'"
  • 00:07:41.230 --> 00:07:47.803
  • And so what happens is, in our lives, if we don't continue to
  • 00:07:47.803 --> 00:07:51.974
  • Stay as a child, we get to a point where we're too grown.
  • 00:07:51.974 --> 00:07:57.513
  • And we're too grown.
  • 00:07:57.513 --> 00:07:58.848
  • We're experts now on how to go from a small place to a
  • 00:07:58.848 --> 00:08:02.919
  • Big place.
  • 00:08:02.919 --> 00:08:04.253
  • We're writing books and podcasts and we got it all figured out.
  • 00:08:04.253 --> 00:08:08.624
  • But god says, "for of such are the kingdom of heaven and those
  • 00:08:08.624 --> 00:08:14.430
  • Who can come to me."
  • 00:08:14.430 --> 00:08:16.532
  • And so we have to stay in that place of humility, that place of
  • 00:08:16.532 --> 00:08:21.203
  • Being teachable because he doesn't want us to lose our
  • 00:08:21.203 --> 00:08:25.341
  • Sense of wonder.
  • 00:08:25.341 --> 00:08:26.709
  • Look at what he says in proverbs 28, verse 26 because we can
  • 00:08:26.709 --> 00:08:31.247
  • Become know-it-alls and we lose that.
  • 00:08:31.247 --> 00:08:35.718
  • There is no wonder in our life and no wonder things
  • 00:08:35.718 --> 00:08:40.289
  • Aren't happening.
  • 00:08:40.289 --> 00:08:42.325
  • No wonder we're stressed out.
  • 00:08:42.325 --> 00:08:45.595
  • No wonder we can't hear the voice of god.
  • 00:08:45.595 --> 00:08:49.131
  • No wonder we can't begin to behold his majesty and the
  • 00:08:49.131 --> 00:08:53.569
  • Vastness of who he is.
  • 00:08:53.569 --> 00:08:56.038
  • Look at this in the message translation 28, 26 in
  • 00:08:56.038 --> 00:08:59.709
  • The message.
  • 00:08:59.709 --> 00:09:02.311
  • He says, "if you think you know it all, you're a fool for sure;
  • 00:09:02.311 --> 00:09:12.288
  • Real survivors learn wisdom from others."
  • 00:09:12.288 --> 00:09:18.561
  • I don't wanna be a know it all.
  • 00:09:18.561 --> 00:09:20.763
  • I don't know about you today.
  • 00:09:20.763 --> 00:09:22.632
  • I wanna stay in that place of humility and no longer be in a
  • 00:09:22.632 --> 00:09:28.404
  • Place of dullness because we've gotten so dumbed down from the
  • 00:09:28.404 --> 00:09:32.875
  • World's voice and the world's way of doing things.
  • 00:09:32.875 --> 00:09:36.045
  • And now the good news is no longer good news.
  • 00:09:36.045 --> 00:09:41.484
  • It's no longer the things that are encouraging us and building
  • 00:09:41.484 --> 00:09:46.355
  • Up our faith.
  • 00:09:46.355 --> 00:09:48.424
  • But god wants us to be radical, and to be sold out to him and
  • 00:09:48.424 --> 00:09:54.497
  • Recognize that there are so many things that he wants to do in
  • 00:09:54.497 --> 00:09:58.034
  • Our lives.
  • 00:09:58.034 --> 00:09:59.702
  • So these are the things that as we experience wonder and as we
  • 00:09:59.702 --> 00:10:04.707
  • Experience all in our lives, i mean, you know, it will affect
  • 00:10:04.707 --> 00:10:09.545
  • Not just our spiritual life, but it will affect our mental and
  • 00:10:09.545 --> 00:10:13.516
  • Our physical health.
  • 00:10:13.516 --> 00:10:16.952
  • Our entire body restores to the awe of god and the awe in
  • 00:10:16.952 --> 00:10:24.560
  • Our life.
  • 00:10:24.560 --> 00:10:25.928
  • That level of playfulness, that level of recreation that god
  • 00:10:25.928 --> 00:10:30.399
  • Wants us to have in our life.
  • 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.568
  • Even if we were just to look at creation in and of itself.
  • 00:10:32.568 --> 00:10:36.739
  • How many you know, that's the wonder of god.
  • 00:10:36.739 --> 00:10:40.543
  • When we look at our bodies, the comprehension and the complexity
  • 00:10:40.543 --> 00:10:46.182
  • Of our bodies.
  • 00:10:46.182 --> 00:10:47.516
  • That is what?
  • 00:10:47.516 --> 00:10:48.884
  • The wonder of god.
  • 00:10:48.884 --> 00:10:51.287
  • The heart and all the different systems and the nervous systems
  • 00:10:51.287 --> 00:10:55.524
  • And all the things concerning who we are and the makeup of
  • 00:10:55.524 --> 00:10:59.962
  • Our lives.
  • 00:10:59.962 --> 00:11:01.564
  • He is a wonder this morning.
  • 00:11:01.564 --> 00:11:05.034
  • And so, once we realize that even in our physical body,
  • 00:11:05.034 --> 00:11:11.173
  • That it lowers inflammation and provides better health
  • 00:11:11.173 --> 00:11:14.477
  • And strengthens our immune system.
  • 00:11:14.477 --> 00:11:17.313
  • Look over at psalms 77, verse 14.
  • 00:11:17.313 --> 00:11:22.151
  • Psalms 77, verse 14.
  • 00:11:22.151 --> 00:11:26.722
  • He says, "thou art but god that doest wonders:
  • 00:11:26.722 --> 00:11:35.564
  • Thou hast declared thy strength among the people."
  • 00:11:37.299 --> 00:11:45.508
  • He says, "you are the god that does wonders."
  • 00:11:45.508 --> 00:11:50.679
  • One of the descriptions in the past is the fact that he has
  • 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:55.284
  • Done great things even concerning the children
  • 00:11:55.284 --> 00:11:58.654
  • Of israel.
  • 00:11:58.654 --> 00:12:00.356
  • Look over at psalms 72.
  • 00:12:00.356 --> 00:12:04.393
  • Psalms 72, verse 18 through 20 in the message translation.
  • 00:12:04.393 --> 00:12:13.035
  • He says he is the one that does wonders.
  • 00:12:13.035 --> 00:12:16.005
  • He says, "blessed god, israel's god, the one and only," the one
  • 00:12:16.005 --> 00:12:23.712
  • And only.
  • 00:12:23.712 --> 00:12:27.616
  • There's nobody like him this morning y'all.
  • 00:12:27.616 --> 00:12:33.656
  • Don't forget what he's done.
  • 00:12:33.656 --> 00:12:36.025
  • The marvelous things that he's done in your life and how he
  • 00:12:36.025 --> 00:12:40.596
  • Didn't have to do the things that he did to save you and to
  • 00:12:40.596 --> 00:12:49.638
  • Provide for you, allowing you to be in a place where you have
  • 00:12:49.638 --> 00:12:53.709
  • Something to support you, where you're sitting here now and you
  • 00:12:53.709 --> 00:12:58.781
  • Got a shelter by which you can hear the word of god.
  • 00:12:58.781 --> 00:13:02.418
  • And you have the ability to read your bible and you have the
  • 00:13:02.418 --> 00:13:06.388
  • Ability, some of you, to hear.
  • 00:13:06.388 --> 00:13:10.259
  • You have the ability to touch, to love and to be loved.
  • 00:13:10.259 --> 00:13:16.031
  • He's a god of wonders this morning.
  • 00:13:16.031 --> 00:13:23.239
  • He says, "god, the one and only wonder-working god!
  • 00:13:23.239 --> 00:13:30.312
  • Blessed always his blazing glory!
  • 00:13:30.312 --> 00:13:35.551
  • All earth brims with his glory.
  • 00:13:35.551 --> 00:13:41.190
  • Yes and yes and yes."
  • 00:13:41.190 --> 00:13:51.033
  • He's a wonder this morning.
  • 00:13:51.033 --> 00:13:54.536
  • Now, as we look at this, we recognize that we could go
  • 00:13:54.536 --> 00:14:00.676
  • Through countless situations all the times of different places in
  • 00:14:00.676 --> 00:14:07.583
  • The word of god and different seasons where he
  • 00:14:07.583 --> 00:14:11.287
  • Performed wonders.
  • 00:14:11.287 --> 00:14:14.556
  • It means that everything about god begins and ends
  • 00:14:14.556 --> 00:14:19.995
  • With wonders.
  • 00:14:19.995 --> 00:14:23.565
  • This whole universe in which we are a part of began and it will
  • 00:14:23.565 --> 00:14:30.039
  • End with his wonders, with his amazement, with his awe, with
  • 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:36.679
  • His surprise.
  • 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:38.948
  • To be in wonder means we look and cannot believe our eyes.
  • 00:14:38.948 --> 00:14:46.488
  • And so when we look at the things that he has done, we can
  • 00:14:46.488 --> 00:14:50.225
  • Refer to how in the book of jonah chapter 1, verse 17, that
  • 00:14:50.225 --> 00:14:55.831
  • He performed wonders with animals.
  • 00:14:55.831 --> 00:15:02.104
  • He performed wonders with jonah being swallowed up by the whale.
  • 00:15:02.104 --> 00:15:10.446
  • In first kings chapter 17, verses 2 through 6, he performed
  • 00:15:10.446 --> 00:15:17.219
  • A wonder with elijah and the birds.
  • 00:15:17.219 --> 00:15:22.958
  • The fact that the scripture says here in the message translation,
  • 00:15:22.958 --> 00:15:27.363
  • Let's look at that the wonders that he even used animals to be
  • 00:15:27.363 --> 00:15:31.967
  • A part of.
  • 00:15:31.967 --> 00:15:33.369
  • It says, "god then told elijah, 'get out of here, and fast.
  • 00:15:33.369 --> 00:15:37.606
  • Head east and hide out at kerith ravine on the other side of the
  • 00:15:37.606 --> 00:15:42.578
  • Jordan river.
  • 00:15:42.578 --> 00:15:43.912
  • You can drink fresh water from the brook; i've ordered the
  • 00:15:43.912 --> 00:15:51.020
  • Ravens to feed you.'"
  • 00:15:51.020 --> 00:15:55.991
  • He's a wonder this morning.
  • 00:15:55.991 --> 00:15:58.861
  • Elijah obeyed god's orders.
  • 00:15:58.861 --> 00:16:01.130
  • He went and camped in the canyon on the other side of the jordan.
  • 00:16:01.130 --> 00:16:06.702
  • And sure enough, the ravens brought him meals.
  • 00:16:06.702 --> 00:16:14.143
  • How can a bird bring steak and potatoes and bread and he's
  • 00:16:14.143 --> 00:16:23.085
  • A wonder.
  • 00:16:23.085 --> 00:16:28.357
  • He says, "sure enough, ravens brought him his meals."
  • 00:16:28.357 --> 00:16:34.797
  • Both breakfast and supper twice a day and he drank
  • 00:16:34.797 --> 00:16:44.406
  • From the brooks.
  • 00:16:44.406 --> 00:16:46.809
  • Somebody say, "he's a wonder."
  • 00:16:46.809 --> 00:16:49.411
  • He also used the donkey over in numbers chapter 22, verse 28.
  • 00:16:49.411 --> 00:16:56.518
  • Let's look there.
  • 00:16:56.518 --> 00:16:59.021
  • He performs wonders through whoever and however, because his
  • 00:16:59.021 --> 00:17:07.229
  • Will, will be established in the earth.
  • 00:17:07.229 --> 00:17:12.468
  • He is the end and he is the beginning.
  • 00:17:12.468 --> 00:17:16.839
  • He is the first and he is the last.
  • 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:20.609
  • He is the alpha and he is the omega.
  • 00:17:20.609 --> 00:17:24.880
  • And he's our soon coming king, amen.
  • 00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:28.484
  • Look at how he performed wonders through this donkey here
  • 00:17:28.484 --> 00:17:35.691
  • Or this--
  • 00:17:35.691 --> 00:17:37.025
  • Look at it in the kjv.
  • 00:17:37.025 --> 00:17:41.797
  • Kjv.
  • 00:17:41.797 --> 00:17:43.165
  • "and the lord opened the mouth of the ass,
  • 00:17:43.165 --> 00:17:51.773
  • And she said unto balaam,
  • 00:17:51.773 --> 00:17:57.646
  • 'what have i done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me
  • 00:17:57.646 --> 00:18:02.784
  • These three times?'"
  • 00:18:02.784 --> 00:18:06.855
  • A talking--
  • 00:18:06.855 --> 00:18:14.630
  • I'm telling you, he's a wonder today.
  • 00:18:14.630 --> 00:18:18.967
  • He says, "what have i done unto thee?"
  • 00:18:18.967 --> 00:18:21.203
  • Look at verse 29, "and balaam said unto the ass, 'because thou
  • 00:18:21.203 --> 00:18:27.976
  • Hast mocked me,"' he's sitting up here talking back.
  • 00:18:27.976 --> 00:18:36.585
  • "i would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would i
  • 00:18:36.585 --> 00:18:46.028
  • Kill thee.
  • 00:18:46.028 --> 00:18:49.898
  • And the ass said unto balaam 'again, am not i mine ass,'"
  • 00:18:49.898 --> 00:18:58.807
  • Whole conversation, just a wonder taking place.
  • 00:18:58.807 --> 00:19:05.647
  • '"upon which thou has ridden ever since i was thine unto
  • 00:19:05.647 --> 00:19:09.885
  • This day?
  • 00:19:09.885 --> 00:19:12.054
  • Was i ever wont to do so unto thee?'
  • 00:19:12.054 --> 00:19:17.859
  • And he said, 'nay.'"
  • 00:19:17.859 --> 00:19:22.064
  • Somebody say he's a wonder.
  • 00:19:22.064 --> 00:19:25.100
  • My god, my god, let's keep going.
  • 00:19:25.100 --> 00:19:28.403
  • And so when we recognize and we understand this, we realize that
  • 00:19:28.403 --> 00:19:33.742
  • God is a wonder and he does wonders and more importantly, he
  • 00:19:33.742 --> 00:19:38.780
  • Can perform wonders through you and through me.
  • 00:19:38.780 --> 00:19:45.687
  • He can perform these same things that we just read about and the
  • 00:19:45.687 --> 00:19:52.794
  • Lives of his children and already has his wonder working
  • 00:19:52.794 --> 00:19:59.668
  • Power has already been manifest.
  • 00:19:59.668 --> 00:20:06.808
  • There were mothers who said they could--doctors who told them
  • 00:20:06.808 --> 00:20:10.212
  • That they could not conceive, they could not have children,
  • 00:20:10.212 --> 00:20:17.419
  • Whatever was going on in their reproductive system.
  • 00:20:17.419 --> 00:20:23.325
  • And the doctors began to tell them the likelihood and just the
  • 00:20:23.325 --> 00:20:31.600
  • Fact that these were things that they would never be able
  • 00:20:31.600 --> 00:20:34.303
  • To experience.
  • 00:20:34.303 --> 00:20:37.105
  • But i'm telling you, there's a promise that talks about how
  • 00:20:37.105 --> 00:20:40.142
  • He'll make the woman, the barren woman, a mother of children.
  • 00:20:40.142 --> 00:20:46.315
  • Look at acts chapter 3 verse 7. and then we're gonna look at a
  • 00:20:46.315 --> 00:20:50.385
  • Couple of personal things here wonders that he wants to perform
  • 00:20:50.385 --> 00:20:54.723
  • Through you and through me.
  • 00:20:54.723 --> 00:20:59.094
  • He is a wonder.
  • 00:20:59.094 --> 00:21:00.429
  • He does wonders and he wants to perform them through us.
  • 00:21:00.429 --> 00:21:08.870
  • And so we have to ask ourselves, how do you think of someone who
  • 00:21:08.870 --> 00:21:14.876
  • Created everything?
  • 00:21:14.876 --> 00:21:16.378
  • But he himself was never created.
  • 00:21:16.378 --> 00:21:23.518
  • He himself was never created.
  • 00:21:23.518 --> 00:21:26.655
  • What if we had more childlike wonder in our lives?
  • 00:21:26.655 --> 00:21:30.959
  • How would our interactions with god be different?
  • 00:21:30.959 --> 00:21:35.664
  • How would we interact with him in a different way?
  • 00:21:35.664 --> 00:21:39.968
  • This is a wonder that the apostle paul experienced here.
  • 00:21:39.968 --> 00:21:45.240
  • Acts chapter 3 verse 7.
  • 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:47.209
  • It says, "and he took him by the right hand,
  • 00:21:47.209 --> 00:21:49.311
  • And lifted him up," this was the guy who was laid at the
  • 00:21:49.311 --> 00:21:52.647
  • Gate called beautiful and he was there normally begging and
  • 00:21:52.647 --> 00:21:58.553
  • Looking for a handout, a hand up for someone to be able to give
  • 00:21:58.553 --> 00:22:04.826
  • Him the financial things, the physical sustenance.
  • 00:22:04.826 --> 00:22:07.996
  • And he says, "'silver and gold have i none; but such as i have
  • 00:22:07.996 --> 00:22:14.436
  • Give i thee:' and he took him by the right hand and lifted
  • 00:22:14.436 --> 00:22:19.441
  • Him up."
  • 00:22:19.441 --> 00:22:20.776
  • The scripture says, "and immediately his feet and ankle
  • 00:22:20.776 --> 00:22:26.581
  • Bones received strength.
  • 00:22:26.581 --> 00:22:30.051
  • And he leaping up stood, and walked and entered with them and
  • 00:22:30.051 --> 00:22:36.191
  • To the temple, walking, leaping and praising god."
  • 00:22:36.191 --> 00:22:45.801
  • He's a wonder working god.
  • 00:22:45.801 --> 00:22:49.204
  • Look at acts chapter 19, verse 7. he wants to do the same
  • 00:22:49.204 --> 00:22:53.975
  • Wonders in our life.
  • 00:22:53.975 --> 00:22:56.645
  • Immediately, things will begin to change.
  • 00:22:56.645 --> 00:23:02.217
  • It was just like with the children of israel and how they
  • 00:23:02.217 --> 00:23:05.153
  • Were being pursued across the red sea and how there were all
  • 00:23:05.153 --> 00:23:10.158
  • Kinds of things that were going against them, problems that they
  • 00:23:10.158 --> 00:23:13.495
  • Were dealing with.
  • 00:23:13.495 --> 00:23:15.163
  • And then god manifested himself in their life and caused the
  • 00:23:15.163 --> 00:23:20.602
  • Chariots and everything to be drowned out.
  • 00:23:20.602 --> 00:23:23.972
  • Because he's a wonder working god.
  • 00:23:23.972 --> 00:23:26.241
  • Male announcer: have you ever had a childlike attitude filled
  • 00:23:30.445 --> 00:23:33.181
  • With humility or amazement when you considered god our father
  • 00:23:33.181 --> 00:23:37.552
  • Is amazing?
  • 00:23:37.552 --> 00:23:38.920
  • But when was the last time you stopped to really think
  • 00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:41.389
  • About that.
  • 00:23:41.389 --> 00:23:42.757

  • To your life in christ.

  • Taffi: everything about god begins and ends with wonders.
  • 00:23:54.569 --> 00:23:59.307
  • To be in wonder means we look and cannot believe our eyes.
  • 00:23:59.307 --> 00:24:04.012
  • He doesn't want us to lose our sense of wonder.
  • 00:24:04.012 --> 00:24:07.115
  • Whatever has to be suspended in order for him
  • 00:24:07.115 --> 00:24:10.852
  • To be the god of wonders,
  • 00:24:10.852 --> 00:24:12.687
