Grace for Today with Lawson Perdue | Lawson Perdue - Jesus Influencers (Part 6) | June 2, 2025

(cheerful music)
00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:04.880
- hi, friends.
00:00:05.247 --> 00:00:06.148
Welcome to the broadcast.
00:00:06.148 --> 00:00:07.149
I'm so glad that you've tuned in.
00:00:07.149 --> 00:00:09.018
We are sharing today on being a jesus influencer.
00:00:09.018 --> 00:00:14.290
How can we as believers influencer the world around us?
00:00:15.357 --> 00:00:20.429
I don't believe that we can really influence the world
00:00:21.530 --> 00:00:24.200
Effectively without becoming disciples
00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:27.570
Of the lord jesus christ, or followers of christ.
00:00:27.570 --> 00:00:30.773
What does that mean?
00:00:30.773 --> 00:00:32.007
We'll share more about it. blessings.
00:00:32.007 --> 00:00:34.643
(cheerful music)
00:00:34.643 --> 00:00:53.629
Friends. we're so glad that you're with us today.
00:00:54.630 --> 00:00:57.099
And i'm glad to have aaron with me, and god is so good.
00:00:57.099 --> 00:01:01.737
And you've recently done a teaching
00:01:01.737 --> 00:01:03.572
On being a jesus influencer.
00:01:03.572 --> 00:01:05.941
In other words, how do we make a difference
00:01:05.941 --> 00:01:08.444
In this world by sharing jesus.
00:01:08.444 --> 00:01:11.247
- and we're all created to share jesus.
00:01:11.247 --> 00:01:13.616
We're all created in his image. we're to be like him.
00:01:13.616 --> 00:01:16.719
We're to be like god.
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:18.087
And really impact people in that way.
00:01:18.087 --> 00:01:22.625
And too many believers
00:01:22.625 --> 00:01:24.093
Are actually kind of conforming to the world.
00:01:24.093 --> 00:01:26.262
Like it's hard to tell the difference
00:01:26.262 --> 00:01:27.663
Between someone who's a christian and someone who isn't.
00:01:27.663 --> 00:01:30.466
And we should really stand out.
00:01:30.466 --> 00:01:32.902
And one thing i kinda learned,
00:01:33.536 --> 00:01:35.070
I actually went to secular universities for my education.
00:01:35.070 --> 00:01:37.706
I went to bachelor's, master's, doctorate.
00:01:37.706 --> 00:01:41.010
And there weren't a lot of christians in my field,
00:01:41.010 --> 00:01:44.346
A whole lot of christians where i studied.
00:01:44.346 --> 00:01:46.215
But i stood out.
00:01:46.215 --> 00:01:47.716
People knew there was something different about me.
00:01:47.716 --> 00:01:49.718
- praise god.
00:01:49.718 --> 00:01:51.020
- and if you're following jesus,
00:01:51.020 --> 00:01:51.887
You're gonna stand out
00:01:51.887 --> 00:01:53.589
And you're also gonna make an impact on people, right?
00:01:53.589 --> 00:01:56.091
You're gonna influence people in a positive way,
00:01:56.091 --> 00:01:57.793
- right?
00:01:57.793 --> 00:01:58.961
And we can be a witness wherever we are.
00:01:58.961 --> 00:02:00.429
We can be a witness in our neighborhood with our friends.
00:02:00.429 --> 00:02:04.700
We can be a witness when we go to the grocery store,
00:02:04.700 --> 00:02:07.436
When we go to walmart at our work,
00:02:07.436 --> 00:02:10.139
Wherever we are, we should be making a difference
00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:13.209
For the lord jesus christ.
00:02:13.209 --> 00:02:14.510
And people should be able to tell
00:02:14.510 --> 00:02:17.079
That there's a difference in us.
00:02:17.079 --> 00:02:19.281
I recently was on a flight, and i was coming back
00:02:19.281 --> 00:02:22.618
And i was just visiting with this young man.
00:02:22.618 --> 00:02:24.853
And as i was visiting with him,
00:02:24.853 --> 00:02:26.522
It's like the lord showed me that he had been in church,
00:02:26.522 --> 00:02:29.425
His family were christians, but he currently wasn't.
00:02:29.425 --> 00:02:32.528
And he was like 23 years old.
00:02:32.528 --> 00:02:34.730
And so i was talking to him about himself,
00:02:34.730 --> 00:02:36.832
And then he just asked me
00:02:36.832 --> 00:02:38.567
Right after the lord showed me this.
00:02:38.567 --> 00:02:40.703
He said, "well, what do you do?"
00:02:40.703 --> 00:02:42.071
And i said, "well, i'm a pastor."
00:02:42.071 --> 00:02:43.772
And he had been really involved in church
00:02:43.772 --> 00:02:46.308
Up to the time that he was 17.
00:02:46.308 --> 00:02:48.477
But he said he was actually shocked that i was a pastor
00:02:48.477 --> 00:02:51.046
And i was communicating with him.
00:02:51.046 --> 00:02:53.148
And but we had a great conversation.
00:02:53.148 --> 00:02:55.584
- that's awesome.
00:02:55.584 --> 00:02:56.852
I wanna start with the scripture here.
00:02:56.852 --> 00:02:58.020
To really be a jesus influencer,
00:02:58.020 --> 00:03:00.689
To be a leader, to really stand out
00:03:00.689 --> 00:03:02.958
And make a difference for jesus,
00:03:02.958 --> 00:03:04.960
You first have to be a follower,
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:06.128
And to be a good leader in his kingdom,
00:03:06.128 --> 00:03:08.564
To impact other people, you have to follow jesus.
00:03:08.564 --> 00:03:10.899
You can't just do your own thing,
00:03:10.899 --> 00:03:12.968
A lot of people just want to do their own thing,
00:03:12.968 --> 00:03:15.137
And that's not how it works.
00:03:15.137 --> 00:03:17.039
That's not how his kingdom works.
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:18.540
He actually calls us into relationships with other people.
00:03:18.540 --> 00:03:21.577
But you have to really follow jesus.
00:03:21.577 --> 00:03:23.646
- when jesus first talked to his disciples,
00:03:23.646 --> 00:03:26.348
He said, "follow me and i will make you fishers of men."
00:03:26.348 --> 00:03:31.320
- it starts with following him.
00:03:31.320 --> 00:03:32.655
- yeah. and then when we follow him, he makes us.
00:03:32.655 --> 00:03:36.025
This fits in with what you're saying,
00:03:36.025 --> 00:03:38.160
But i believe, when we follow jesus,
00:03:38.160 --> 00:03:41.163
He makes us into what he wants us to be.
00:03:41.163 --> 00:03:45.000
Whether that's a banker, a housewife,
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.537
A school teacher, a welder.
00:03:48.537 --> 00:03:51.106
And when we do what he wants us to do
00:03:51.106 --> 00:03:54.376
And become what he wants us to be,
00:03:54.376 --> 00:03:56.178
We'll become a fisher of men wherever we're at.
00:03:56.178 --> 00:03:59.181
- yeah, this is something we'll kind of talk about
00:03:59.181 --> 00:04:01.350
In a later program about being a fisher of men.
00:04:01.350 --> 00:04:04.119
God kind of spoke to me and said,
00:04:04.119 --> 00:04:06.088
"you need to be a fisher of men,
00:04:06.088 --> 00:04:07.022
Or you'll be fished by men."
00:04:07.022 --> 00:04:08.824
And it kind of flows with what we'll talk about today.
00:04:09.892 --> 00:04:11.293
How like, if you're not really following jesus,
00:04:11.293 --> 00:04:14.229
You're gonna conform to the world.
00:04:14.229 --> 00:04:16.332
And i taught this message to our youth,
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.336
And i told them about my best friend in high school,
00:04:20.336 --> 00:04:22.805
How he went off to college
00:04:22.805 --> 00:04:24.873
And he went to a christian college,
00:04:24.873 --> 00:04:27.776
But he wanted to be a non-conformist.
00:04:27.776 --> 00:04:30.879
So he became a hippie.
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:32.047
He like wouldn't shave or cut his hair.
00:04:32.047 --> 00:04:34.483
He'd only shot once every two weeks.
00:04:34.483 --> 00:04:36.919
He kind of became an atheist, a communist.
00:04:36.919 --> 00:04:41.724
And eventually his grades started suffering.
00:04:41.724 --> 00:04:44.026
So his parents pulled him out
00:04:44.026 --> 00:04:45.394
And he went to community college for a little bit,
00:04:45.394 --> 00:04:48.630
And then went to the university of colorado boulder.
00:04:48.630 --> 00:04:50.399
And when he was there, he realized,
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:52.000
"i'm not a non-conformist,
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:53.335
I'm the same as everyone else."
00:04:53.335 --> 00:04:54.770
Because they're in boulder.
00:04:54.770 --> 00:04:56.538
Everyone's an atheist, everyone's a communist,
00:04:56.538 --> 00:04:57.439
Everyone smokes marijuana.
00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:59.141
He just realized,
00:04:59.141 --> 00:05:00.609
"i really conformed to the vast majority of people."
00:05:00.609 --> 00:05:03.445
And he rededicated his life to the lord.
00:05:03.445 --> 00:05:06.682
He's very involved in church, he is married.
00:05:06.682 --> 00:05:08.784
He has four kids, a fifth on the way.
00:05:08.784 --> 00:05:12.955
Like he reads his bible with his oldest daughter every day.
00:05:12.955 --> 00:05:15.824
He's trying to,
00:05:15.824 --> 00:05:17.359
And he's realized that by being married, by going to church,
00:05:17.359 --> 00:05:20.095
By reading the bible, by like, that's non-conforming.
00:05:20.095 --> 00:05:23.432
- right? we don't want to-
00:05:23.432 --> 00:05:24.600
- that's breaking the mold
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.001
Of what's considered normal in the world today.
00:05:26.001 --> 00:05:28.437
- right?
00:05:28.437 --> 00:05:29.405
So if we're born again, right,
00:05:29.405 --> 00:05:31.974
If jesus is living in us, there should be fruit.
00:05:31.974 --> 00:05:35.611
Which some of your scripture
00:05:35.611 --> 00:05:36.879
Is gonna be talking about being a disciple.
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.281
And one thing about being a disciple, a follower of jesus,
00:05:39.281 --> 00:05:43.085
A christ follower, is that you're gonna bring forth fruit.
00:05:43.085 --> 00:05:46.188
- amen.
00:05:46.188 --> 00:05:47.623
So, i wanna read this verse, something jesus said
00:05:47.623 --> 00:05:48.590
In matthew 16:24-26, it says,
00:05:48.590 --> 00:05:52.294
"jesus said to his disciples,"
00:05:52.294 --> 00:05:55.164
And i like how you define disciples,
00:05:55.164 --> 00:05:56.598
We'll talk that in a minute,
00:05:56.598 --> 00:05:58.333
But he says to his disciples,
00:05:58.333 --> 00:05:59.635
So this is a word for every disciple of jesus.
00:05:59.635 --> 00:06:02.771
It says, "if anyone desires to come after me,
00:06:02.771 --> 00:06:05.908
Let him deny himself.
00:06:05.908 --> 00:06:07.409
It's not about what you want."
00:06:07.409 --> 00:06:09.411
This is something i tell our church.
00:06:09.411 --> 00:06:10.746
A lot of people have this mindset
00:06:10.746 --> 00:06:11.914
When they come to church.
00:06:11.914 --> 00:06:13.582
"it's what i want."
00:06:13.582 --> 00:06:14.583
I wanna do the songs i wanna do.
00:06:14.583 --> 00:06:15.984
And really, the songs are for jesus.
00:06:15.984 --> 00:06:17.886
It's to worship jesus.
00:06:17.886 --> 00:06:19.855
It's not about what you want.
00:06:19.855 --> 00:06:21.890
"let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."
00:06:21.890 --> 00:06:26.528
So you can't be doing your own thing and following jesus.
00:06:26.528 --> 00:06:30.165
You have to surrender some things to jesus.
00:06:30.165 --> 00:06:32.668
I'm gonna follow him,
00:06:32.668 --> 00:06:34.069
"for whoever desires to save his life will lose it.
00:06:34.069 --> 00:06:36.839
But whoever loses his life, for my sake, will find it.
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:40.142
For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world
00:06:40.142 --> 00:06:43.879
And loses his own soul?
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.648
Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"
00:06:46.648 --> 00:06:50.452
So the world teaches you just try to be rich and famous.
00:06:50.452 --> 00:06:54.923
It's all about what you can get,
00:06:54.923 --> 00:06:56.692
All about your influence for yourself.
00:06:56.692 --> 00:06:59.294
- right.
00:06:59.294 --> 00:07:00.162
- your own fame. - right.
00:07:00.162 --> 00:07:01.096
- your own riches.
00:07:01.096 --> 00:07:02.397
It's not about what you can do for others.
00:07:02.397 --> 00:07:03.799
It's about you.
00:07:03.799 --> 00:07:06.502
And jesus's saying that you're actually gonna lose your soul
00:07:06.502 --> 00:07:09.204
In that process and you can't put a price tag on that.
00:07:09.204 --> 00:07:13.542
Only one person can save your soul.
00:07:13.542 --> 00:07:16.678
Money can't save your soul.
00:07:16.678 --> 00:07:17.980
A job can't save your soul,
00:07:17.980 --> 00:07:19.581
And education can't save your soul.
00:07:19.581 --> 00:07:21.717
A certain president can't save your soul.
00:07:21.717 --> 00:07:24.586
Buddhism can't save your soul.
00:07:24.586 --> 00:07:27.189
I was really surprised that in college,
00:07:27.189 --> 00:07:28.657
How many people are buddhists, like new age buddhists.
00:07:28.657 --> 00:07:32.327
Only jesus can save your soul.
00:07:32.327 --> 00:07:35.330
- right.
00:07:35.330 --> 00:07:36.832
- and this is something that jesus told his disciples,
00:07:36.832 --> 00:07:40.102
This is a message to disciples of jesus.
00:07:40.102 --> 00:07:42.237
So i love your definition of disciples.
00:07:42.237 --> 00:07:45.240
- right?
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:46.542
A disciple first of all is a doer of the word.
00:07:46.542 --> 00:07:50.178
If you're gonna be a disciple, by definition,
00:07:50.178 --> 00:07:52.915
Disciple is one who hears what jesus said and does it.
00:07:52.915 --> 00:07:56.818
In john 8, there were some,
00:07:56.818 --> 00:07:59.988
Jews believed on jesus in verse 30.
00:07:59.988 --> 00:08:02.057
And he said to them in verse 31,
00:08:02.057 --> 00:08:04.192
"if you continue in my word,
00:08:04.192 --> 00:08:06.828
You're gonna be my disciple indeed."
00:08:06.828 --> 00:08:10.299
So not everyone who believes continues in the word.
00:08:10.299 --> 00:08:14.836
And he says in verse 32,
00:08:15.337 --> 00:08:17.306
"and you will know the truth if you continue in my word,"
00:08:17.306 --> 00:08:21.510
If you believed on jesus, now continue.
00:08:21.510 --> 00:08:23.712
Jesus is the living word.
00:08:23.712 --> 00:08:25.514
Now, continue in his word and you'll be his disciple indeed.
00:08:25.514 --> 00:08:28.984
"and you will know the truth,
00:08:28.984 --> 00:08:31.486
And the truth will make you free."
00:08:31.486 --> 00:08:33.555
- but you have to continue in the word.
00:08:33.555 --> 00:08:34.990
Like you've known believers too.
00:08:34.990 --> 00:08:36.425
I've known believers who say they believe on jesus.
00:08:36.425 --> 00:08:40.929
I think they mean it from their heart
00:08:40.929 --> 00:08:42.531
When they ask him to come into their life.
00:08:42.531 --> 00:08:46.368
But at some point, they stop believing the word,
00:08:46.368 --> 00:08:49.471
They stop following the word.
00:08:49.471 --> 00:08:50.839
They kind of pick and choose from the word
00:08:50.839 --> 00:08:53.108
And they aren't in the truth anymore.
00:08:53.108 --> 00:08:55.677
- mark 4, in the parable of the sower,
00:08:55.677 --> 00:08:58.480
Jesus said in verse, when he was explaining it
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:02.084
To his disciples in verse 13,
00:09:02.084 --> 00:09:04.152
"if you can understand this parable,
00:09:04.152 --> 00:09:05.887
Then you can understand the entire kingdom."
00:09:05.887 --> 00:09:08.256
And there's four types of soil.
00:09:08.256 --> 00:09:09.758
The soil represents our heart,
00:09:09.758 --> 00:09:13.195
And then the sower,
00:09:13.195 --> 00:09:14.997
I believe, represents the lord jesus christ.
00:09:14.997 --> 00:09:17.633
And it says, the sower sows the word,
00:09:17.633 --> 00:09:20.202
But the first type of soil
00:09:20.202 --> 00:09:22.004
Immediately when the seed sown, right?
00:09:22.004 --> 00:09:25.007
The enemy comes to steal the seed.
00:09:25.007 --> 00:09:28.744
Satan is a enemy of the word,
00:09:28.744 --> 00:09:30.679
Because he knows if the word takes root in your heart,
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:34.116
You're gonna become a threat to his kingdom,
00:09:34.116 --> 00:09:36.251
To the kingdom of darkness.
00:09:36.251 --> 00:09:37.619
- and his only power over a believer is deception,
00:09:37.619 --> 00:09:41.189
Is to steer people away from truth.
00:09:41.189 --> 00:09:44.059
And he does that in people's thoughts and their mind.
00:09:44.059 --> 00:09:47.629
Like, "hey this won't really work for you.
00:09:47.629 --> 00:09:50.132
These promises in scripture aren't really true.
00:09:50.132 --> 00:09:52.868
Maybe, maybe it worked 2000 years ago,
00:09:52.868 --> 00:09:55.537
But it's not gonna work today.
00:09:55.537 --> 00:09:57.406
Maybe there's an expiration date on some of these promises
00:09:57.406 --> 00:10:00.308
And expiration date on certain parts of the bible."
00:10:00.308 --> 00:10:03.278
- no.
00:10:03.278 --> 00:10:04.813
- and a lot of the church today has adopted that mentality,
00:10:04.813 --> 00:10:08.016
Adopted that deception.
00:10:08.016 --> 00:10:09.985
- and that really goes into the second type of soil,
00:10:09.985 --> 00:10:12.087
Because in the second type of soil,
00:10:12.087 --> 00:10:14.790
When it's like the stony soil,
00:10:14.790 --> 00:10:17.059
And jesus said, "this is like those people who,
00:10:17.059 --> 00:10:19.995
When they receive the word immediately,
00:10:19.995 --> 00:10:22.731
They receive it with gladness.
00:10:22.731 --> 00:10:24.132
So they're excited and they are,"
00:10:24.132 --> 00:10:26.902
But it says, "when persecution or affliction comes
00:10:26.902 --> 00:10:31.239
For the word sake,"
00:10:31.239 --> 00:10:32.941
I've received more persecution and affliction
00:10:32.941 --> 00:10:36.411
For the word sake from religious people than i've received.
00:10:36.411 --> 00:10:40.282
Now, i have received persecution and affliction
00:10:40.282 --> 00:10:42.184
From the world, but i've received-
00:10:42.184 --> 00:10:43.919
- for the word sake.
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.420
- more persecution and affliction for the word's sake
00:10:45.420 --> 00:10:48.657
From religious people
00:10:48.657 --> 00:10:49.958
That really don't believe the word
00:10:49.958 --> 00:10:51.827
Than i've ever received from the world.
00:10:51.827 --> 00:10:53.328
- well, our media team took a little clip
00:10:53.328 --> 00:10:55.497
Of an offering message i did here at church once.
00:10:55.497 --> 00:10:57.566
And all i did was read one verse out of the bible.
00:10:57.566 --> 00:11:00.268
I read from deuteronomy 28:11.
00:11:00.268 --> 00:11:05.407
And the blessing, it says,
00:11:05.974 --> 00:11:06.908
"god will clutter the world
00:11:06.908 --> 00:11:09.010
Or the lord will cause you to overflow in prosperity."
00:11:09.010 --> 00:11:11.213
- yeah. in the modern english version.
00:11:11.213 --> 00:11:12.647
- i just read one verse outta the bible.
00:11:12.647 --> 00:11:14.750
I didn't add any interpretation to it, right?
00:11:14.750 --> 00:11:16.718
I just read one verse and just stood there.
00:11:16.718 --> 00:11:19.821
And that got people more riled up than anything.
00:11:19.821 --> 00:11:22.657
- most of our videos on youtube, you can check them out.
00:11:22.657 --> 00:11:25.560
They have 90 plus percent positive feedback.
00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:29.097
But that one, when it started out, was like 76%.
00:11:29.097 --> 00:11:33.201
And all you said, "i think i'm gonna say something,"
00:11:33.201 --> 00:11:35.804
Then you said you waited just 14 seconds
00:11:35.804 --> 00:11:38.540
And it's called 14 seconds of silence.
00:11:38.540 --> 00:11:41.042
And then you just said,
00:11:41.042 --> 00:11:42.577
"well, i think i'll let the word defend itself." and-
00:11:42.577 --> 00:11:45.147
- but persecution comes for the word sake.
00:11:45.147 --> 00:11:46.648
- yeah, because people don't really believe
00:11:46.648 --> 00:11:50.252
What the bible says.
00:11:50.252 --> 00:11:51.686
- i didn't even give any personal stories or rephrase it.
00:11:51.686 --> 00:11:55.190
I just read one sentence out of the bible.
00:11:55.190 --> 00:11:59.661
- so when this first type of soil, right,
00:11:59.661 --> 00:12:02.297
The seed is sowed on the,
00:12:02.297 --> 00:12:04.332
It's like planting your seed on concrete-
00:12:04.332 --> 00:12:06.234
- for word sake. - on a pavement road.
00:12:06.234 --> 00:12:08.303
The birds come and eat it. satan comes and steal the word.
00:12:08.303 --> 00:12:10.639
The second type of soil was the stony soil.
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:14.276
And that's like, because they,
00:12:14.276 --> 00:12:16.778
It says because they have no root in themselves.
00:12:16.778 --> 00:12:20.816
They receive the word with gladness,
00:12:20.816 --> 00:12:23.084
But because they have no root,
00:12:23.084 --> 00:12:24.352
They don't bring any lasting fruit.
00:12:24.352 --> 00:12:26.822
And persecution and affliction comes, right?
00:12:26.822 --> 00:12:29.357
Then there's the third type of soil,
00:12:29.357 --> 00:12:31.493
Which is the weedy soil.
00:12:31.493 --> 00:12:33.628
And the weeds grow with the good seed,
00:12:33.628 --> 00:12:37.299
But the weeds choke that.
00:12:37.299 --> 00:12:39.968
And the good seed can't bring forth good fruit,
00:12:40.902 --> 00:12:42.838
But the last type of soil, here's where i wanted to get,
00:12:42.838 --> 00:12:44.806
Because this fits so much with what you're saying.
00:12:44.806 --> 00:12:47.876
And it says in mark 4:20, it says this,
00:12:47.876 --> 00:12:52.480
"those who are sown on the good soil,
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:55.917
Are those who hear the word
00:12:55.917 --> 00:12:59.754
And they receive the word."
00:12:59.754 --> 00:13:01.489
Not everybody who hears the word receives the word, right?
00:13:01.489 --> 00:13:05.660
And they bring forth fruit.
00:13:05.660 --> 00:13:07.462
And so you've gotta receive the word.
00:13:07.462 --> 00:13:09.698
Not everybody hears the word continues in the word.
00:13:09.698 --> 00:13:13.301
Not everybody becomes a disciple.
00:13:13.301 --> 00:13:15.303
Not everybody who, if you look at james 2,
00:13:15.303 --> 00:13:18.807
Hears the word, does the word continues in the word.
00:13:18.807 --> 00:13:23.011
So if you want the word really to bring forth the harvest,
00:13:23.011 --> 00:13:25.747
This bible is full of promises that are good for us.
00:13:25.747 --> 00:13:29.618
But if we really wanna see those promises come to pass,
00:13:29.618 --> 00:13:33.555
We've got to receive the word.
00:13:33.555 --> 00:13:36.024
We've gotta continue in the word
00:13:36.024 --> 00:13:37.759
And become doers of the word,
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:39.494
Because it's not the hearers of the word that are blessed,
00:13:39.494 --> 00:13:42.097
It's the doers of the work.
00:13:42.097 --> 00:13:44.065
It says in james 1:5,
00:13:44.065 --> 00:13:46.868
"whoever you know looks into this perfect law of liberty
00:13:46.868 --> 00:13:49.638
Calls the new testament, the new covenant,
00:13:49.638 --> 00:13:52.173
The perfect law of liberty, and continues therein."
00:13:52.173 --> 00:13:55.810
This person will be blessed in his deep,
00:13:55.810 --> 00:13:57.779
God wants you to be blessed,
00:13:57.779 --> 00:13:59.648
But what are we doing with what he's given us?
00:13:59.648 --> 00:14:01.516
And that's what you're really saying,
00:14:01.516 --> 00:14:03.051
Becoming a disciple is becoming a doer of the word.
00:14:03.051 --> 00:14:06.821

00:14:28.743 --> 00:14:33.415
- and to be a doer of the word
00:14:34.049 --> 00:14:36.451
Means you want to be like jesus, because jesus is the word,
00:14:36.451 --> 00:14:40.121
He's the word made flesh so if you're gonna follow jesus,
00:14:40.121 --> 00:14:44.125
You're gonna value the word,
00:14:44.125 --> 00:14:46.261
I like something you've said before.
00:14:46.261 --> 00:14:47.829
I dunno if you said it recently, but you could,
00:14:47.829 --> 00:14:50.065
You said, "i can tell how in love someone is with jesus
00:14:50.065 --> 00:14:53.935
By how in love they are with the word."
00:14:53.935 --> 00:14:56.671
- yeah. i love the word.
00:14:56.671 --> 00:14:58.173
And people actually, when they watch me,
00:14:58.173 --> 00:15:00.041
Or come to church or watch, they actually can tell,
00:15:00.041 --> 00:15:04.612
They said, "it's evident that you love the word."
00:15:04.612 --> 00:15:07.115
Well, the word of god has literally changed my life.
00:15:07.115 --> 00:15:10.719
When i got, number one, i got born again
00:15:10.719 --> 00:15:13.621
When i was eight years old,
00:15:13.621 --> 00:15:15.657
And i was taught by my father
00:15:15.657 --> 00:15:17.225
That we honored the word of god.
00:15:17.225 --> 00:15:18.593
Now, we didn't always know what it said,
00:15:18.593 --> 00:15:20.962
But my dad honored somebody if they would teach the bible.
00:15:20.962 --> 00:15:24.632
So then it kind of set us up for success
00:15:24.632 --> 00:15:27.535
Because when we got involved in andrew wong's bible studies
00:15:27.535 --> 00:15:31.172
When i was just eight years old,
00:15:31.172 --> 00:15:33.942
Andrew was teaching the word,
00:15:34.576 --> 00:15:35.944
And it was contrary to our religion and tradition.
00:15:35.944 --> 00:15:40.215
But it set us up for success
00:15:40.215 --> 00:15:42.484
Because i came away from the very first meeting thinking,
00:15:42.484 --> 00:15:45.620
"thank god i don't have to be sick, poor,
00:15:45.620 --> 00:15:47.489
And defeated by the devil.
00:15:47.489 --> 00:15:48.823
I can believe the word of god."
00:15:48.823 --> 00:15:50.358
And when you believe the word of god
00:15:50.358 --> 00:15:52.694
Is when the word really begins to change your life.
00:15:52.694 --> 00:15:55.497
And in a short time after that,
00:15:55.497 --> 00:15:58.233
I was baptized in the holy spirit.
00:15:58.233 --> 00:16:00.268
And one of the first things
00:16:00.268 --> 00:16:01.536
That the baptism of the holy spirit will do
00:16:01.536 --> 00:16:03.638
Is cause the word to come alive to you.
00:16:03.638 --> 00:16:05.540
The word of god literally came alive to me.
00:16:05.540 --> 00:16:09.244
And when you read in john 14:26 jesus said,
00:16:09.244 --> 00:16:13.481
"when we're baptizing the holy spirit,
00:16:13.481 --> 00:16:15.717
The holy spirit will take the things that i've said,
00:16:15.717 --> 00:16:18.420
The word of god, and bring it to your remembrance."
00:16:18.420 --> 00:16:21.756
The holy spirit will reveal the word,
00:16:21.756 --> 00:16:25.293
Bring it to your remembrance.
00:16:25.293 --> 00:16:26.561
And if you're not in love with the word,
00:16:26.561 --> 00:16:28.530
Jesus and the word are one,
00:16:28.530 --> 00:16:30.198
You're not really in love with jesus.
00:16:30.198 --> 00:16:33.001
- something that's kinda interesting,
00:16:33.802 --> 00:16:35.170
Like around the same time
00:16:35.170 --> 00:16:36.471
That you were baptized in the holy spirit.
00:16:36.471 --> 00:16:38.239
I know mom as a teenager was baptizing the holy spirit.
00:16:38.239 --> 00:16:41.810
And she said something that's kinda interesting,
00:16:41.810 --> 00:16:43.812
Like her parents took her to church growing up,
00:16:43.812 --> 00:16:46.915
But she remembers being at a service.
00:16:46.915 --> 00:16:48.349
And the minister was preaching from acts,
00:16:48.349 --> 00:16:50.218
Like acts 2 about what happened
00:16:50.218 --> 00:16:52.854
And how they prayed in tongues.
00:16:52.854 --> 00:16:54.889
And the pastor said, "this isn't for today."
00:16:54.889 --> 00:16:56.891
He like, read from the bible and then preached against it.
00:16:56.891 --> 00:17:00.161
And she said, "well, it's in the bible"
00:17:00.161 --> 00:17:02.230
She just had this thought, "then it's for me."
00:17:02.230 --> 00:17:04.833
- yeah. mom was raised in a traditional church like i was.
00:17:04.833 --> 00:17:08.169
So when she was in this church,
00:17:08.169 --> 00:17:10.305
When she was about eight years old,
00:17:10.305 --> 00:17:12.006
The minister read these scriptures on speaking in tongues
00:17:12.006 --> 00:17:15.210
And then said and the baptism of the holy spirit said,
00:17:15.210 --> 00:17:18.046
"this is not for today."
00:17:18.046 --> 00:17:19.180
And she just got the opposite.
00:17:19.180 --> 00:17:21.149
She thought, "well, you know what, if it's in the bible,
00:17:21.149 --> 00:17:23.751
That means it's for me."
00:17:23.751 --> 00:17:25.386
And so then later in her life,
00:17:25.386 --> 00:17:27.489
When she was a teenager, right?
00:17:27.489 --> 00:17:29.891
And her parents fell on some hard times, her mom,
00:17:29.891 --> 00:17:33.061
Because her mom went to this traditional church
00:17:33.061 --> 00:17:35.463
And they said, "oh don't do this.
00:17:35.463 --> 00:17:37.866
Don't believe her that."
00:17:37.866 --> 00:17:38.800
And she said, "no, that's,"
00:17:38.800 --> 00:17:40.702
Actually, barbara's dad, mom's dad had left.
00:17:40.702 --> 00:17:44.572
And and she said, "no."
00:17:44.572 --> 00:17:46.441
She said, "that is my husband,
00:17:46.441 --> 00:17:48.743
And i'm gonna believe god for him."
00:17:48.743 --> 00:17:50.812
So they actually went to a spirit field church.
00:17:50.812 --> 00:17:52.747
This was in 1978, and the charismatic movement.
00:17:52.747 --> 00:17:56.351
And immediately they heard crazy things.
00:17:56.351 --> 00:17:59.621
This was dave duell's church.
00:17:59.621 --> 00:18:01.055
It was meeting in greeley, colorado
00:18:01.055 --> 00:18:02.624
Meeting in a cattle sale barn.
00:18:02.624 --> 00:18:04.492
She heard that people were swinging from the chandeliers
00:18:04.492 --> 00:18:06.861
And rolling on the floor.
00:18:06.861 --> 00:18:08.463
And she said when she went there,
00:18:08.463 --> 00:18:09.831
She didn't see any chandeliers
00:18:09.831 --> 00:18:11.499
And she didn't see anybody rolling on the floor,
00:18:11.499 --> 00:18:13.601
But she said she did see this man fire running around.
00:18:13.601 --> 00:18:17.105
And it looked like he had a fire on his head,
00:18:17.105 --> 00:18:18.973
And she could recognize that he was full of the love of god.
00:18:18.973 --> 00:18:23.578
Well, this was dave duell, and their own church.
00:18:23.578 --> 00:18:27.115
They were going without food.
00:18:27.115 --> 00:18:29.017
They were living in a basement,
00:18:29.017 --> 00:18:31.019
That it was really hard times in their own church
00:18:31.019 --> 00:18:34.689
Where they'd went for years, didn't do anything,
00:18:34.689 --> 00:18:36.758
And they didn't even tell anybody at this church
00:18:36.758 --> 00:18:38.893
That they had any needs
00:18:38.893 --> 00:18:40.528
We're talking about when they went to dave duell's.
00:18:40.528 --> 00:18:42.030
And then he showed up at their house with the check,
00:18:42.030 --> 00:18:44.465
And barbara said, i knew god talked to people.
00:18:44.465 --> 00:18:47.268
God actually talked to your mom once, who was a little girl.
00:18:47.268 --> 00:18:50.171
Her mom was having extreme emotional problems.
00:18:50.171 --> 00:18:53.241
And jesus actually came and spoke to mom
00:18:53.241 --> 00:18:56.311
While she was laying on the grass as a little girl.
00:18:56.311 --> 00:18:59.080
And so mom's had a really phenomenal relationship with god
00:18:59.080 --> 00:19:05.253
From a young child.
00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:07.388
And then it just magnified
00:19:07.388 --> 00:19:09.557
When she got in this spirit field church
00:19:09.557 --> 00:19:11.926
And then later got baptized in the holy spirit.
00:19:11.926 --> 00:19:14.195
- and one common thing actually,
00:19:14.195 --> 00:19:15.730
That i've realized when people do receive
00:19:15.730 --> 00:19:18.233
The baptism holy spirit,
00:19:18.233 --> 00:19:19.701
Is they have just a strong love for the word of god,
00:19:19.701 --> 00:19:21.369
And it just comes alive to them.
00:19:21.369 --> 00:19:23.638
When i was in college,
00:19:23.638 --> 00:19:25.139
I ministered to a friend of mine who really love god,
00:19:25.139 --> 00:19:28.610
But was struggling
00:19:28.610 --> 00:19:30.545
And i took her to a healing evangelist meeting billy burke.
00:19:31.713 --> 00:19:36.718
And she saw these miracles
00:19:36.718 --> 00:19:38.653
And she was really struggling physically.
00:19:38.653 --> 00:19:40.989
She had really bad tendonitis
00:19:40.989 --> 00:19:43.258
And was a flute player like myself,
00:19:43.258 --> 00:19:45.126
But she couldn't play her.
00:19:45.126 --> 00:19:46.527
Her tendonitis was so bad, she had to get therapy
00:19:46.527 --> 00:19:48.463
And steroid shots, and she couldn't even open a door,
00:19:48.463 --> 00:19:51.199
A doorknob, but after these meetings,
00:19:51.199 --> 00:19:54.569
I just asked her if she wanted to receive the holy spirit
00:19:54.569 --> 00:19:56.504
And receive that power, and she said, "yes."
00:19:56.504 --> 00:19:58.439
And i, i prayed for a simple prayer
00:19:58.439 --> 00:20:00.008
And her arms started shaking,
00:20:00.008 --> 00:20:01.309
And she actually fell on the floor
00:20:01.309 --> 00:20:03.144
And was rolling on the floor, praying in tongues.
00:20:03.144 --> 00:20:06.047
She's like a sponge, just absorbing the holy spirit.
00:20:07.081 --> 00:20:09.651
But after that happened, for weeks,
00:20:09.651 --> 00:20:11.886
Every time she read the bible,
00:20:11.886 --> 00:20:13.221
Her hands would just start shaking.
00:20:13.221 --> 00:20:14.922
- yes.
00:20:14.922 --> 00:20:15.790
- just for weeks.
00:20:15.790 --> 00:20:17.125
She told me every time she'd open up the bible
00:20:17.125 --> 00:20:18.660
And start reading, her hands would start shaking.
00:20:18.660 --> 00:20:20.995
But it made the scripture just come alive to her.
00:20:20.995 --> 00:20:24.198
- yeah.
00:20:24.198 --> 00:20:25.033
- and if you love jesus
00:20:25.033 --> 00:20:26.467
And haven't received the baptism of the holy spirit,
00:20:26.467 --> 00:20:29.337
Man, you're gonna love the holy spirit
00:20:30.138 --> 00:20:31.539
Because he's gonna intensify
00:20:31.539 --> 00:20:34.309
Your relationship with jesus,
00:20:34.309 --> 00:20:36.411
And he's gonna intensify
00:20:36.411 --> 00:20:38.046
Your relationship with the word of god.
00:20:38.046 --> 00:20:40.581
- right.
00:20:40.581 --> 00:20:41.983
If you haven't received the baptism of holy spirit,
00:20:41.983 --> 00:20:43.284
You should call in to our ministry today
00:20:43.284 --> 00:20:46.721
And pray with our prayer ministers and receive that.
00:20:46.721 --> 00:20:49.957
That's a gift that's available to believers.
00:20:49.957 --> 00:20:53.494
You must be born again,
00:20:53.494 --> 00:20:55.196
If you haven't received jesus as your savior,
00:20:55.196 --> 00:20:57.332
You're not born again,
00:20:57.332 --> 00:20:58.599
You should receive jesus as your savior.
00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:00.401
But you should also go ahead as a believer
00:21:00.401 --> 00:21:03.905
And receive the baptism of the holy spirit.
00:21:03.905 --> 00:21:06.474
It will light up your life.
00:21:06.474 --> 00:21:08.843
- that's awesome. well, yeah.
00:21:09.477 --> 00:21:11.713
And it'll just intensify a relationship with jesus.
00:21:11.713 --> 00:21:15.917
- right? let's go back to this scripture.
00:21:15.917 --> 00:21:17.785
Where jesus is talking about this.
00:21:17.785 --> 00:21:19.921
In matthew 16, where you started in verse 24 and 25,
00:21:19.921 --> 00:21:24.192
Jesus said, "if any man will come after me,
00:21:24.192 --> 00:21:26.461
You let him deny himself."
00:21:26.461 --> 00:21:28.463
You're either gonna go your way or go god's way.
00:21:28.463 --> 00:21:32.767
But if you go god's way, you've gotta surrender to jesus.
00:21:32.767 --> 00:21:37.739
And he says, "take up his cross and follow me," right.
00:21:37.739 --> 00:21:41.876
Become a follower of jesus, a christ follower.
00:21:41.876 --> 00:21:45.046
And that's not doing your own thing.
00:21:45.046 --> 00:21:47.115
And just asking god to bless it.
00:21:47.115 --> 00:21:48.983
That's like, jesus, what do you want me to do?
00:21:48.983 --> 00:21:51.386
And when you start following him closely
00:21:51.386 --> 00:21:53.821
And doing what he wants you to do,
00:21:53.821 --> 00:21:54.922
The blessing's already there.
00:21:54.922 --> 00:21:57.158
And he says, "for whoever will save his life, a few."
00:21:57.158 --> 00:22:00.328
And this word for life in verse 25
00:22:00.328 --> 00:22:02.997
Is actually the greek word psuche, if i'm correct,
00:22:02.997 --> 00:22:06.134
It's talking about your soul.
00:22:06.134 --> 00:22:08.269
You don't follow your own thoughts, your own way.
00:22:09.270 --> 00:22:12.140
You gotta begin to, my god says,
00:22:12.774 --> 00:22:14.609
"my thoughts are higher than your thoughts.
00:22:14.609 --> 00:22:16.944
My ways are higher than your ways."
00:22:16.944 --> 00:22:19.714
So you surrender your life,
00:22:19.714 --> 00:22:21.849
But you also surrender your thought life.
00:22:21.849 --> 00:22:24.085
- well, and it says that god has not given us
00:22:24.085 --> 00:22:25.753
A spirit of fear, right?
00:22:25.753 --> 00:22:27.155
But of power of love and a sound mind.
00:22:27.155 --> 00:22:29.590
So if you're dealing with thoughts of fear,
00:22:29.590 --> 00:22:31.859
You can say, these aren't from god.
00:22:31.859 --> 00:22:33.828
God actually gives me power.
00:22:33.828 --> 00:22:35.329
He gives me love, he gives me a sound mind.
00:22:35.329 --> 00:22:37.698
So this anxiety, this fear, this torment,
00:22:37.698 --> 00:22:41.636
I wanna surrender that.
00:22:41.636 --> 00:22:42.904
I'm gonna lay that down.
00:22:42.904 --> 00:22:44.005
I'm gonna give that to jesus,
00:22:44.005 --> 00:22:45.973
And i'm gonna receive what he has from me.
00:22:45.973 --> 00:22:49.010
- and i mean, it's not like if you're a believer
00:22:49.010 --> 00:22:51.112
In baptizing the holy spirit,
00:22:51.112 --> 00:22:52.447
Your every thought is gonna be good.
00:22:52.447 --> 00:22:54.382
Because i know sometimes the devil attacks me,
00:22:54.382 --> 00:22:56.984
But the way that i know in my thought life,
00:22:56.984 --> 00:22:59.454
The way that i know the difference
00:22:59.454 --> 00:23:00.855
Is because of what the word of god says.
00:23:00.855 --> 00:23:04.325
So if it doesn't agree with the word, i don't receive it.
00:23:04.325 --> 00:23:07.728
I stand against it. and i believe what god says about me.
00:23:07.728 --> 00:23:11.499
And you need to believe what god says about you.
00:23:11.499 --> 00:23:13.968
And he says, "whoever will save his life will lose it.
00:23:13.968 --> 00:23:18.072
But whoever loses sight of his own life,
00:23:18.072 --> 00:23:21.843
For my sake shall find it."
00:23:21.843 --> 00:23:23.945
I think in one of the other gospels,
00:23:23.945 --> 00:23:26.047
Jesus said, "whoever loses his own life,
00:23:26.047 --> 00:23:29.116
For my sake in the gospels is gonna find it,"
00:23:29.116 --> 00:23:31.886
Are you letting go of who you are
00:23:31.886 --> 00:23:33.988
And what your carnal thoughts,
00:23:33.988 --> 00:23:35.957
Your fleshly thoughts,
00:23:35.957 --> 00:23:38.125
And taking up god's thoughts in the word
00:23:38.125 --> 00:23:40.595
And saying, "jesus, wherever you want me to go,
00:23:40.595 --> 00:23:42.930
Whatever you want me to do, whatever your word says,"
00:23:42.930 --> 00:23:46.267
James, we quoted james 1:21, i believe it says,
00:23:46.267 --> 00:23:51.606
"receive with meekness the engrafted word."
00:23:52.507 --> 00:23:54.008
And we need to take a meek attitude toward the word of god
00:23:54.008 --> 00:23:56.944
So we can become a hearer, not only a hearer,
00:23:56.944 --> 00:23:59.847
But a doer of the word.
00:23:59.847 --> 00:24:01.015
Become a true disciple of jesus,
00:24:01.015 --> 00:24:02.984
And really bring forth fruit in his kingdom.
00:24:02.984 --> 00:24:05.186
- yeah, and maybe you're watching this right now,
00:24:05.186 --> 00:24:06.554
And you've asked jesus to be your lord.
00:24:06.554 --> 00:24:11.859
You've asked him to end your heart,
00:24:12.593 --> 00:24:14.095
But maybe you haven't really been following after him.
00:24:14.095 --> 00:24:15.396
You've been kind of doing your own thing.
00:24:15.396 --> 00:24:17.164
Jesus is calling you right now.
00:24:17.798 --> 00:24:19.133
I believe that he's calling people
00:24:19.133 --> 00:24:20.601
To really follow after him with everything they have.
00:24:20.601 --> 00:24:23.571
And to make a real impact for him to be a real influence.
00:24:23.571 --> 00:24:27.642
There are people around you,
00:24:27.642 --> 00:24:29.210
There are people in your life,
00:24:29.210 --> 00:24:30.177
Maybe people in your own home,
00:24:30.177 --> 00:24:31.679
People in your neighborhood, people at work,
00:24:31.679 --> 00:24:33.748
People that you see at the grocery.
00:24:33.748 --> 00:24:35.316
There are people that only you will reach with the gospel.
00:24:35.316 --> 00:24:39.020
The only jesus they're gonna see is the jesus in you.
00:24:39.020 --> 00:24:41.756
And to really shine bright for jesus,
00:24:41.756 --> 00:24:44.659
You have to be completely, completely,
00:24:44.659 --> 00:24:46.861
100% sold out for jesus.
00:24:46.861 --> 00:24:48.829
So if you feel like you've been holding back,
00:24:48.829 --> 00:24:51.966
You've been kind of doing your own thing.
00:24:51.966 --> 00:24:53.568
But you know what? i wanna be completely sold out for jesus.
00:24:53.568 --> 00:24:55.836
