  • We were believing god for this place, i actually heard the lord
  • 00:02:09.138 --> 00:02:11.474

  • Tell me this. this is the very first time ever
  • 00:02:12.342 --> 00:02:13.710
  • This is the very first time ever he said this to me, years ago.
  • 00:02:13.776 --> 00:02:16.346
  • He said this to me, years ago. we moved in in 2012, end of
  • 00:02:16.412 --> 00:02:20.049
  • 2012, and those years before
  • 00:02:20.116 --> 00:02:22.552

  • 00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:26.055
  • Of--let me just tell you this, it's not easy, all right?
  • 00:02:26.122 --> 00:02:28.625
  • It's not easy, all right? it could kill an average person
  • 00:02:28.691 --> 00:02:30.693
  • It could kill an average person just with stress alone at what
  • 00:02:30.760 --> 00:02:33.296
  • Just with stress alone at what we were supposed to even raise,
  • 00:02:33.363 --> 00:02:35.732
  • We were supposed to even raise, and all the different hiccups
  • 00:02:35.798 --> 00:02:38.534
  • And all the different hiccups that happened along the way, and
  • 00:02:38.601 --> 00:02:40.336

  • How one thing led to another, unforeseen things and all that.
  • 00:02:42.972 --> 00:02:44.374
  • Unforeseen things and all that. but all the while, god gave me
  • 00:02:44.440 --> 00:02:45.408
  • But all the while, god gave me a word.
  • 00:02:45.475 --> 00:02:46.709
  • A word. two words, actually.
  • 00:02:46.776 --> 00:02:48.177
  • Two words, actually. number one, while we are going
  • 00:02:48.244 --> 00:02:49.746
  • Number one, while we are going through the process, he says,
  • 00:02:49.812 --> 00:02:51.214
  • Through the process, he says, "sit still.
  • 00:02:51.281 --> 00:02:54.617
  • "sit still. sit still until you know how the
  • 00:02:54.684 --> 00:02:56.386
  • Sit still until you know how the matter will recover.
  • 00:02:56.452 --> 00:02:58.454
  • Matter will recover. for the man, the lord jesus at
  • 00:02:58.521 --> 00:03:01.190
  • For the man, the lord jesus at the father's right hand, will
  • 00:03:01.257 --> 00:03:03.259
  • The father's right hand, will not be at rest until he has
  • 00:03:03.326 --> 00:03:05.995
  • Not be at rest until he has finished it."
  • 00:03:06.062 --> 00:03:08.164
  • Finished it." and that is a word from the book
  • 00:03:08.231 --> 00:03:10.633
  • And that is a word from the book of ruth.
  • 00:03:10.700 --> 00:03:12.068
  • Of ruth. when naomi, the mother-in-law,
  • 00:03:12.135 --> 00:03:13.803
  • When naomi, the mother-in-law, turned to the daughter-in-law,
  • 00:03:13.870 --> 00:03:17.774
  • Turned to the daughter-in-law, the gentile girl from moab,
  • 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.176
  • The gentile girl from moab, jordan, because she believed in
  • 00:03:20.243 --> 00:03:22.712
  • Jordan, because she believed in the god of naomi.
  • 00:03:22.779 --> 00:03:24.914
  • The god of naomi. she says, "your god will be
  • 00:03:24.981 --> 00:03:26.215
  • She says, "your god will be my god.
  • 00:03:26.282 --> 00:03:27.250
  • My god. your people will be my people.
  • 00:03:27.317 --> 00:03:29.285
  • Your people will be my people. where you die, i will die."
  • 00:03:29.352 --> 00:03:31.220
  • Where you die, i will die." imagine a daughter-in-law saying
  • 00:03:31.287 --> 00:03:32.655
  • Imagine a daughter-in-law saying that to the mother-in-law.
  • 00:03:32.722 --> 00:03:35.591
  • That to the mother-in-law. and she became one of the
  • 00:03:35.658 --> 00:03:37.894
  • And she became one of the ancestors of our
  • 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:38.761
  • Ancestors of our lord jesus christ.
  • 00:03:38.828 --> 00:03:40.997
  • Lord jesus christ. our lord jesus came from her
  • 00:03:41.064 --> 00:03:42.532
  • Our lord jesus came from her line, from her lineage.
  • 00:03:42.598 --> 00:03:46.235
  • Line, from her lineage. and that's what naomi, her
  • 00:03:46.302 --> 00:03:48.471
  • And that's what naomi, her mother-in-law, advised her about
  • 00:03:48.538 --> 00:03:51.207
  • Mother-in-law, advised her about the man who owned the field, a
  • 00:03:51.274 --> 00:03:52.875
  • The man who owned the field, a picture of our
  • 00:03:52.942 --> 00:03:54.043
  • Picture of our lord jesus christ,
  • 00:03:54.110 --> 00:03:54.677
  • Lord jesus christ, the wealthy man called boaz.
  • 00:03:54.744 --> 00:03:56.245
  • The wealthy man called boaz. she says, "sit still,
  • 00:03:56.312 --> 00:03:58.181
  • She says, "sit still, my daughter.
  • 00:03:58.247 --> 00:03:59.315
  • My daughter. don't run about, don't be
  • 00:03:59.382 --> 00:04:00.983
  • Don't run about, don't be stressed, don't worry.
  • 00:04:01.050 --> 00:04:02.618
  • Stressed, don't worry. don't worry about even
  • 00:04:02.685 --> 00:04:03.252
  • Don't worry about even competition with other ladies
  • 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:04.754
  • Competition with other ladies and all that.
  • 00:04:04.821 --> 00:04:05.888
  • And all that. sit still until you know how the
  • 00:04:05.955 --> 00:04:08.091
  • Sit still until you know how the matter will fall because the man
  • 00:04:08.157 --> 00:04:11.027
  • Matter will fall because the man will not be at rest until he
  • 00:04:11.094 --> 00:04:14.163
  • Will not be at rest until he has finished."
  • 00:04:14.230 --> 00:04:16.232
  • Has finished." so if you sit still, if you
  • 00:04:16.299 --> 00:04:17.667
  • So if you sit still, if you rest, he will not be at rest
  • 00:04:17.734 --> 00:04:19.335
  • Rest, he will not be at rest concerning your affairs.
  • 00:04:19.402 --> 00:04:21.537
  • Concerning your affairs. that means he will be
  • 00:04:21.604 --> 00:04:23.172
  • That means he will be working, amen?
  • 00:04:23.239 --> 00:04:24.741
  • Working, amen? that's when god began to show me
  • 00:04:24.807 --> 00:04:25.842
  • That's when god began to show me even clearer that when you rest,
  • 00:04:25.908 --> 00:04:27.677
  • Even clearer that when you rest, god works.
  • 00:04:27.744 --> 00:04:29.645
  • God works. now if you are working, no point
  • 00:04:29.712 --> 00:04:31.881
  • Now if you are working, no point in god saying, "no point in both
  • 00:04:31.948 --> 00:04:33.116
  • In god saying, "no point in both of us working, okay?
  • 00:04:33.182 --> 00:04:35.017
  • Of us working, okay? because even if i help you, you
  • 00:04:35.084 --> 00:04:36.052
  • Because even if i help you, you will think it's you.
  • 00:04:36.119 --> 00:04:38.354
  • Will think it's you. you'll give part of the glory to
  • 00:04:38.421 --> 00:04:39.455
  • You'll give part of the glory to me and part of the glory
  • 00:04:39.522 --> 00:04:40.256
  • Me and part of the glory to you."
  • 00:04:40.323 --> 00:04:41.557
  • To you." no, god must have all the
  • 00:04:41.624 --> 00:04:43.226
  • No, god must have all the glory, amen?
  • 00:04:43.292 --> 00:04:44.827
  • Glory, amen? so i always say, if god wants to
  • 00:04:44.894 --> 00:04:46.462
  • So i always say, if god wants to have all the glory, let god do
  • 00:04:46.529 --> 00:04:47.897
  • Have all the glory, let god do all the work, amen, and that's
  • 00:04:47.964 --> 00:04:50.867
  • All the work, amen, and that's our true posture.
  • 00:04:50.933 --> 00:04:51.868
  • Our true posture. our life is to bring glory
  • 00:04:51.934 --> 00:04:53.236
  • Our life is to bring glory to god.
  • 00:04:53.302 --> 00:04:54.137
  • To god. but we are so proud, aren't we?
  • 00:04:54.203 --> 00:04:55.738
  • But we are so proud, aren't we? we creatures are so proud.
  • 00:04:55.805 --> 00:04:57.974
  • We creatures are so proud. we always want to
  • 00:04:58.040 --> 00:04:59.008
  • We always want to have something.
  • 00:04:59.075 --> 00:04:59.742
  • Have something. we always want to do something.
  • 00:04:59.809 --> 00:05:01.677
  • We always want to do something. so when we rest, it is
  • 00:05:01.744 --> 00:05:03.946
  • So when we rest, it is not laziness.
  • 00:05:04.013 --> 00:05:05.348
  • Not laziness. it's not passivity.
  • 00:05:05.415 --> 00:05:06.682
  • It's not passivity. it is actually acknowledging god
  • 00:05:06.749 --> 00:05:10.820
  • It is actually acknowledging god is the only one who can bring
  • 00:05:10.887 --> 00:05:13.923

  • Fresh forgiveness." no, god doesn't look at events
  • 00:12:37.499 --> 00:12:39.635
  • No, god doesn't look at events that pass by like this.
  • 00:12:39.702 --> 00:12:40.703
  • That pass by like this. god takes the helicopter view.
  • 00:12:40.769 --> 00:12:43.906
  • God takes the helicopter view. if there's a parade, you know,
  • 00:12:43.973 --> 00:12:45.541

  • 00:12:45.608 --> 00:12:47.543
  • You have seen parade, right? at disney and all that, they

  • Parade and the end of the parade.
  • 00:12:54.016 --> 00:12:54.950
  • The parade. god saw your entire life of sins
  • 00:12:55.017 --> 00:12:56.452
  • God saw your entire life of sins when he put all your sins on
  • 00:12:56.518 --> 00:12:57.987
  • When he put all your sins on jesus christ.
  • 00:12:58.053 --> 00:12:59.054
  • Jesus christ. nothing takes god by surprise.
  • 00:12:59.121 --> 00:13:00.990
  • Nothing takes god by surprise. so when the bible says, "having
  • 00:13:01.056 --> 00:13:02.458
  • So when the bible says, "having purged our sins, jesus sat
  • 00:13:02.524 --> 00:13:05.427
  • Purged our sins, jesus sat down," that means it's complete.
  • 00:13:05.494 --> 00:13:08.197
  • Down," that means it's complete. there will never be a sin that
  • 00:13:08.264 --> 00:13:09.398
  • There will never be a sin that rises up and jesus has to stand
  • 00:13:09.465 --> 00:13:10.966
  • Rises up and jesus has to stand up and says, "i forgot to take
  • 00:13:11.033 --> 00:13:12.334
  • Up and says, "i forgot to take that away."
  • 00:13:12.401 --> 00:13:13.669
  • That away." it's done.
  • 00:13:13.736 --> 00:13:16.338
  • It's done. so whenever you see jesus seated
  • 00:13:16.405 --> 00:13:17.773
  • So whenever you see jesus seated up there, amen, and you see in
  • 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.676
  • Up there, amen, and you see in the spirit, just know that he's
  • 00:13:20.743 --> 00:13:22.711
  • The spirit, just know that he's not sitting down because he's
  • 00:13:22.778 --> 00:13:23.846
  • Not sitting down because he's god, although he is.
  • 00:13:23.913 --> 00:13:25.881
  • He's not seated down because
  • 00:13:25.948 --> 00:13:26.548
  • He's not seated down because he's the son of god,
  • 00:13:26.615 --> 00:13:27.316
  • He's the son of god, although he is.
  • 00:13:27.383 --> 00:13:28.584
  • Although he is. he's not seated down because the
  • 00:13:28.651 --> 00:13:29.852
  • He's not seated down because the father honors him, although that
  • 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:31.253
  • Father honors him, although that is true.
  • 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:32.154
  • Is true. he's seated having purged
  • 00:13:32.221 --> 00:13:34.156
  • He's seated having purged our sins.
  • 00:13:34.223 --> 00:13:37.593
  • Our sins. isn't that tranquilizing for our
  • 00:13:37.660 --> 00:13:38.694
  • Isn't that tranquilizing for our souls, for our conscience?
  • 00:13:38.761 --> 00:13:41.597
  • It gives us peace, amen?
  • 00:13:41.664 --> 00:13:44.867
  • It gives us peace, amen? but best of all, this far above,
  • 00:13:44.934 --> 00:13:47.202
  • But best of all, this far above, raising christ far above all
  • 00:13:47.269 --> 00:13:48.804
  • Raising christ far above all principality, and power, and
  • 00:13:48.871 --> 00:13:50.005
  • Principality, and power, and might, and dominion every name
  • 00:13:50.072 --> 00:13:51.340
  • Might, and dominion every name that is named, is not only true
  • 00:13:51.407 --> 00:13:52.675
  • That is named, is not only true for jesus.
  • 00:13:52.741 --> 00:13:54.643
  • For jesus. god made his identity, his whole
  • 00:13:54.710 --> 00:13:56.445
  • God made his identity, his whole history start, our history
  • 00:13:56.512 --> 00:13:59.014
  • History start, our history start, with christ at the cross.

  • Christ, amen. when god raised christ, just
  • 00:14:07.756 --> 00:14:08.891
  • When god raised christ, just like the pen in the bible, god
  • 00:14:08.958 --> 00:14:11.427
  • Like the pen in the bible, god raised christ.
  • 00:14:11.493 --> 00:14:12.828
  • Raised christ. god raised us in him.
  • 00:14:12.895 --> 00:14:13.996
  • God raised us in him. and when god says, "sit on my

  • And when god says, "sit on my right hand until i make your
  • 00:14:15.597 --> 00:14:16.966
  • Right hand until i make your enemies your footstool," we all
  • 00:14:17.032 --> 00:14:19.335
  • Enemies your footstool," we all sat down with christ.
  • 00:14:19.401 --> 00:14:20.703
  • Sat down with christ. that's where you are right now.
  • 00:14:20.769 --> 00:14:22.271

  • That is seated in the heavenly places.
  • 00:14:32.815 --> 00:14:34.116
  • In the heavenly places. in fact, if you look at your
  • 00:14:34.183 --> 00:14:35.050
  • In fact, if you look at your bible carefully, the word
  • 00:14:35.117 --> 00:14:35.918
  • Bible carefully, the word "places" is actually in italics.
  • 00:14:35.985 --> 00:14:38.020
  • "places" is actually in italics. that means the translators don't
  • 00:14:38.087 --> 00:14:38.721
  • That means the translators don't have it in the original.
  • 00:14:38.787 --> 00:14:40.289
  • Have it in the original. they added it in to help.
  • 00:14:40.356 --> 00:14:42.992
  • They added it in to help. sometimes it helps, sometimes it
  • 00:14:43.058 --> 00:14:45.027
  • Sometimes it helps, sometimes it deters actually, but don't worry
  • 00:14:45.094 --> 00:14:47.529
  • Deters actually, but don't worry about the italics,
  • 00:14:47.596 --> 00:14:48.597
  • About the italics, italics is not in the original.

  • "epi" is "upper." the "ouranios" is
  • 00:15:07.683 --> 00:15:08.350
  • The "ouranios" is actually "heavens."

  • With all the rest on the same ground, earthward, sensual,
  • 00:16:40.109 --> 00:16:42.044
  • Ground, earthward, sensual, earthbound, logical, you cannot

  • So, we live life earthwards, from heaven, earthwards.
  • 00:16:54.590 --> 00:16:57.526
  • From heaven, earthwards. don't live life from earth,
  • 00:16:57.593 --> 00:17:00.229
  • Don't live life from earth, heavenward, which a lot of
  • 00:17:00.295 --> 00:17:02.097
  • Heavenward, which a lot of christians are doing.
  • 00:17:02.164 --> 00:17:02.865
  • Christians are doing. you think about it when you
  • 00:17:02.931 --> 00:17:03.732
  • You think about it when you pray, right?
  • 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:04.833
  • Pray, right? how do you pray?
  • 00:17:04.900 --> 00:17:05.767
  • How do you pray? you say, "father in heaven."
  • 00:17:05.834 --> 00:17:07.769
  • You say, "father in heaven." that's taught in the lord's
  • 00:17:07.836 --> 00:17:09.004
  • That's taught in the lord's prayer at that time.
  • 00:17:09.071 --> 00:17:10.272
  • Prayer at that time. it's true.
  • 00:17:10.339 --> 00:17:11.406
  • It's true. he wanted them, you can see
  • 00:17:11.473 --> 00:17:12.708
  • He wanted them, you can see them, israel, as disciples.
  • 00:17:12.774 --> 00:17:16.011
  • Them, israel, as disciples. they were disciples, but they
  • 00:17:16.078 --> 00:17:16.879
  • They were disciples, but they are not saved.
  • 00:17:16.945 --> 00:17:17.412
  • Are not saved. he has not yet died.
  • 00:17:17.479 --> 00:17:18.180
  • He has not yet died. that's why in the
  • 00:17:18.247 --> 00:17:18.914
  • That's why in the sermon on the mount,
  • 00:17:18.981 --> 00:17:19.815
  • Sermon on the mount, there's not one word
  • 00:17:19.882 --> 00:17:20.716
  • There's not one word about salvation.
  • 00:17:20.782 --> 00:17:21.984
  • About salvation. it was a perfect sermon for the
  • 00:17:22.050 --> 00:17:23.986
  • It was a perfect sermon for the kingdom, which that sermon will
  • 00:17:24.052 --> 00:17:26.188
  • Kingdom, which that sermon will be fully implemented when jesus
  • 00:17:26.255 --> 00:17:27.723
  • Be fully implemented when jesus comes again in the kingdom, and
  • 00:17:27.789 --> 00:17:31.693
  • Comes again in the kingdom, and we'll come with him.
  • 00:17:31.760 --> 00:17:34.296
  • We'll come with him. so, you think about it.
  • 00:17:34.363 --> 00:17:36.665
  • So, you think about it. when you are in this position
  • 00:17:36.732 --> 00:17:40.302
  • When you are in this position with christ, what is
  • 00:17:40.369 --> 00:17:42.037
  • With christ, what is your posture?
  • 00:17:42.104 --> 00:17:42.971
  • Your posture? what do you look forward to?
  • 00:17:43.038 --> 00:17:44.406
  • What do you look forward to? one time, i was praying and i
  • 00:17:44.473 --> 00:17:45.374
  • One time, i was praying and i said, like god is so far away, i
  • 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:46.675
  • Said, like god is so far away, i look up, "father in heaven?"
  • 00:17:46.742 --> 00:17:49.211
  • Look up, "father in heaven?" then he says, "why do you see me
  • 00:17:49.278 --> 00:17:50.479
  • Then he says, "why do you see me so far away?"
  • 00:17:50.546 --> 00:17:51.613
  • So far away?" he rebuked me.
  • 00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:52.247
  • He rebuked me. he corrected me in his love.
  • 00:17:52.314 --> 00:17:54.750
  • He corrected me in his love. i said, "how do i do it?"
  • 00:17:54.816 --> 00:17:55.717
  • I said, "how do i do it?" your prayers don't get answered
  • 00:17:55.784 --> 00:17:57.085
  • Your prayers don't get answered because you start off from the
  • 00:17:57.152 --> 00:17:57.986
  • Because you start off from the wrong premise.
  • 00:17:58.053 --> 00:17:59.054
  • Wrong premise. it's an unscriptural premise.
  • 00:17:59.121 --> 00:18:00.455
  • It's an unscriptural premise. and the holy spirit is the
  • 00:18:00.522 --> 00:18:01.790
  • And the holy spirit is the spirit of truth.
  • 00:18:01.857 --> 00:18:03.058
  • Spirit of truth. he cannot bear witness with this
  • 00:18:03.125 --> 00:18:04.660
  • He cannot bear witness with this lie that i'm far away.
  • 00:18:04.726 --> 00:18:06.895
  • Lie that i'm far away. so, "i didn't mean it to, lord."
  • 00:18:06.962 --> 00:18:08.197
  • So, "i didn't mean it to, lord." and he says, "pray, from now on,
  • 00:18:08.263 --> 00:18:11.433
  • And he says, "pray, from now on, pray, all right, let your words
  • 00:18:11.500 --> 00:18:13.068
  • Pray, all right, let your words be few, knowing, knowing.
  • 00:18:13.135 --> 00:18:14.903
  • Be few, knowing, knowing. more importantly is this,
  • 00:18:14.970 --> 00:18:16.071
  • More importantly is this, knowing i'm listening.
  • 00:18:16.138 --> 00:18:19.107
  • Knowing i'm listening. knowing, and you must know that
  • 00:18:19.174 --> 00:18:21.009
  • Knowing, and you must know that you're so close to me even at my
  • 00:18:21.076 --> 00:18:24.313
  • You're so close to me even at my right hand."
  • 00:18:24.379 --> 00:18:25.714
  • Right hand." so, how do you pray to someone
  • 00:18:25.781 --> 00:18:27.349
  • So, how do you pray to someone who is so near, right?
  • 00:18:27.416 --> 00:18:30.152
  • Who is so near, right? now, i don't want to say loud.
  • 00:18:30.219 --> 00:18:31.954
  • Now, i don't want to say loud. sometimes i pray loud, right?
  • 00:18:32.020 --> 00:18:33.956
  • Sometimes i pray loud, right? sometimes i pray soft.
  • 00:18:34.022 --> 00:18:35.390
  • Sometimes i pray soft. it's not the loudness of it.
  • 00:18:35.457 --> 00:18:36.525
  • It's not the loudness of it. it's the prayer in your spirit,
  • 00:18:36.592 --> 00:18:38.227
  • It's the prayer in your spirit, your conscience.
  • 00:18:38.293 --> 00:18:38.927
  • Your conscience. i say, "father," you must know
  • 00:18:38.994 --> 00:18:40.295
  • I say, "father," you must know he's listening already.
  • 00:18:40.362 --> 00:18:42.264
  • He's listening already. i'm like, "father, father,
  • 00:18:42.331 --> 00:18:43.665
  • I'm like, "father, father, father, you know?"
  • 00:18:43.732 --> 00:18:44.566
  • Father, you know?" not that kind of prayer.
  • 00:18:44.633 --> 00:18:49.271
  • Not that kind of prayer. "father," got it, he's
  • 00:18:49.338 --> 00:18:50.639
  • "father," got it, he's there again.
  • 00:18:50.706 --> 00:18:52.107
  • There again. "father, i thank you that you
  • 00:18:52.174 --> 00:18:53.175
  • "father, i thank you that you have heard me."
  • 00:18:53.242 --> 00:18:54.743
  • Have heard me." there's this personal
  • 00:18:54.810 --> 00:18:55.811
  • There's this personal relationship and the world is
  • 00:18:55.877 --> 00:18:58.347
  • Relationship and the world is looking for that, amen?
  • 00:18:58.413 --> 00:19:01.683
  • Looking for that, amen? they're not looking
  • 00:19:01.750 --> 00:19:02.317
  • They're not looking for formality.
  • 00:19:02.384 --> 00:19:03.118
  • For formality. "oh, father in heaven, thou,
  • 00:19:03.185 --> 00:19:05.254
  • "oh, father in heaven, thou, that makes all," then when my
  • 00:19:05.320 --> 00:19:06.588
  • That makes all," then when my son asked me something, right?
  • 00:19:06.655 --> 00:19:08.056
  • Son asked me something, right? abba?
  • 00:19:08.123 --> 00:19:08.724
  • Abba? ask for something straight away.
  • 00:19:08.790 --> 00:19:10.659
  • Ask for something straight away. when you pray, you pray in the
  • 00:19:10.726 --> 00:19:12.027
  • When you pray, you pray in the sense of family closeness.
  • 00:19:12.094 --> 00:19:13.395
  • Sense of family closeness. in the consciousness, he
  • 00:19:13.462 --> 00:19:14.396
  • In the consciousness, he loves you.
  • 00:19:14.463 --> 00:19:16.164
  • Loves you. his great love by which he loved
  • 00:19:16.231 --> 00:19:18.033
  • His great love by which he loved us, he made us sit together
  • 00:19:18.100 --> 00:19:19.334
  • Us, he made us sit together with christ.
  • 00:19:19.401 --> 00:19:20.369
  • With christ. we are there.
  • 00:19:20.435 --> 00:19:21.336
  • We are there. no one can remove our position.
  • 00:19:21.403 --> 00:19:24.439
  • No one can remove our position. satan cannot remove that
  • 00:19:24.506 --> 00:19:25.540
  • Satan cannot remove that position, your position.
  • 00:19:25.607 --> 00:19:27.342
  • Position, your position. so, two attitudes.
  • 00:19:27.409 --> 00:19:28.010
  • So, two attitudes. number one, and i don't have
  • 00:19:28.076 --> 00:19:29.978
  • Number one, and i don't have time to do all this, to show you
  • 00:19:30.045 --> 00:19:31.513
  • Time to do all this, to show you all the scriptures, but listen
  • 00:19:31.580 --> 00:19:32.781
  • All the scriptures, but listen to me okay?
  • 00:19:32.848 --> 00:19:33.315
  • To me okay? it's all in there in the bible.
  • 00:19:33.382 --> 00:19:34.650
  • It's all in there in the bible. the first one to show in front
  • 00:19:34.716 --> 00:19:36.385
  • The first one to show in front of you, what can you expect when
  • 00:19:36.451 --> 00:19:37.753
  • Of you, what can you expect when you're seated with christ?
  • 00:19:37.819 --> 00:19:39.554
  • You're seated with christ? there's a show coming.
  • 00:19:39.621 --> 00:19:40.856
  • There's a show coming. he's going to show you the
  • 00:19:40.922 --> 00:19:42.958
  • He's going to show you the exceeding riches of his grace.
  • 00:19:43.025 --> 00:19:46.728
  • Exceeding riches of his grace. and you know what?
  • 00:19:46.795 --> 00:19:48.297
  • And you know what? listen carefully.
  • 00:19:48.363 --> 00:19:49.097
  • Listen carefully. it's not just when you die and
  • 00:19:49.164 --> 00:19:50.098
  • It's not just when you die and go to heaven, he will show you.
  • 00:19:50.165 --> 00:19:51.867
  • Go to heaven, he will show you. while you are living here with
  • 00:19:51.933 --> 00:19:53.235
  • While you are living here with your spirit seated in christ, he
  • 00:19:53.302 --> 00:19:56.571
  • Your spirit seated in christ, he is going to show you.
  • 00:19:56.638 --> 00:20:00.709
  • Is going to show you. all the favors he has
  • 00:20:00.776 --> 00:20:01.943
  • All the favors he has for you this year--
  • 00:20:02.010 --> 00:20:04.680
  • For you this year-- he will show you the
  • 00:20:04.746 --> 00:20:06.114
  • He will show you the exceeding riches of his
  • 00:20:06.181 --> 00:20:07.649
  • Exceeding riches of his unearned, undeserved, unmerited
  • 00:20:07.716 --> 00:20:10.085
  • Unearned, undeserved, unmerited favor for you.
  • 00:20:10.152 --> 00:20:15.090
  • Favor for you. and let's not worry about who
  • 00:20:15.157 --> 00:20:16.525
  • And let's not worry about who says what, who says this, or you
  • 00:20:16.591 --> 00:20:18.527
  • Says what, who says this, or you listen to prophecies that people
  • 00:20:18.593 --> 00:20:19.695
  • Listen to prophecies that people thought bad things happening
  • 00:20:19.761 --> 00:20:21.330
  • Thought bad things happening this year or prophets say
  • 00:20:21.396 --> 00:20:22.731
  • This year or prophets say this year.
  • 00:20:22.798 --> 00:20:23.765
  • This year. listen, the bible says when
  • 00:20:23.832 --> 00:20:25.934
  • Listen, the bible says when you're seated with christ, you
  • 00:20:26.001 --> 00:20:27.536
  • You're seated with christ, you will only see exceeding riches
  • 00:20:27.602 --> 00:20:29.071
  • Will only see exceeding riches of his grace.
  • 00:20:29.137 --> 00:20:30.005
  • Of his grace. doesn't mean there's
  • 00:20:30.072 --> 00:20:30.706
  • Doesn't mean there's no persecution.
  • 00:20:30.772 --> 00:20:31.573
  • No persecution. doesn't mean, in fact, in the
  • 00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:32.407
  • Doesn't mean, in fact, in the upper room, there's a promise
  • 00:20:32.474 --> 00:20:33.442
  • Upper room, there's a promise of persecution.
  • 00:20:33.508 --> 00:20:34.109
  • Of persecution. jesus says where it happened.
  • 00:20:34.176 --> 00:20:35.277
  • Jesus says where it happened. he even taught us how to respond
  • 00:20:35.344 --> 00:20:36.645
  • He even taught us how to respond to it in the upper room,
  • 00:20:36.712 --> 00:20:38.747
  • To it in the upper room, all right?
  • 00:20:38.814 --> 00:20:39.314
  • All right? there'll be persecution,
  • 00:20:39.381 --> 00:20:40.182
  • There'll be persecution, especially if you are
  • 00:20:40.248 --> 00:20:40.816
  • Especially if you are a believer.
  • 00:20:40.882 --> 00:20:43.218
  • A believer. but your posture in responding
  • 00:20:43.285 --> 00:20:45.253
  • But your posture in responding to it, difficulty and all that,
  • 00:20:45.320 --> 00:20:47.089
  • To it, difficulty and all that, is that you are seated
  • 00:20:47.155 --> 00:20:48.056
  • Is that you are seated with christ.
  • 00:20:48.123 --> 00:20:50.392
  • With christ. and your family identity is
  • 00:20:50.459 --> 00:20:53.095
  • And your family identity is royalty, but not royalty to
  • 00:20:53.161 --> 00:20:55.731
  • Royalty, but not royalty to dominate people.
  • 00:20:55.797 --> 00:20:57.065
  • Dominate people. your power is not to dominate
  • 00:20:57.132 --> 00:20:58.433
  • Your power is not to dominate people, but to break their
  • 00:20:58.500 --> 00:21:00.168
  • People, but to break their bondage, to destroy their sin,
  • 00:21:00.235 --> 00:21:03.205
  • Bondage, to destroy their sin, to cast out the demon that's
  • 00:21:03.271 --> 00:21:04.673
  • To cast out the demon that's oppressing them, to heal
  • 00:21:04.740 --> 00:21:08.944
  • Oppressing them, to heal the sick.
  • 00:21:09.010 --> 00:21:10.846
  • The sick. that's the authority you have.
  • 00:21:10.912 --> 00:21:12.681
  • That's the authority you have. and like jesus, you can be
  • 00:21:12.748 --> 00:21:13.915
  • And like jesus, you can be dressed normal, look normal, but
  • 00:21:13.982 --> 00:21:16.685
  • Dressed normal, look normal, but there's something about you
  • 00:21:16.752 --> 00:21:18.587
  • There's something about you that's radiant, that
  • 00:21:18.653 --> 00:21:20.455
  • That's radiant, that is heavenly.
  • 00:21:20.522 --> 00:21:21.656
  • Is heavenly. that, my friend, is the
  • 00:21:21.723 --> 00:21:22.657
  • That, my friend, is the christian life.
  • 00:21:22.724 --> 00:21:24.192
  • Christian life. if your version of holiness is
  • 00:21:24.259 --> 00:21:25.460
  • If your version of holiness is such that there's a morose face,
  • 00:21:25.527 --> 00:21:26.862
  • Such that there's a morose face, look like baptized in tom yum
  • 00:21:26.928 --> 00:21:28.196
  • Look like baptized in tom yum juice, all right, that's
  • 00:21:28.263 --> 00:21:29.765
  • Juice, all right, that's not christianity.
  • 00:21:29.831 --> 00:21:31.500
  • Not christianity. because the bible says to jesus,
  • 00:21:31.566 --> 00:21:33.769
  • Hebrews chapter 1, "god has
  • 00:21:33.835 --> 00:21:36.071
  • Hebrews chapter 1, "god has anointed you," father telling
  • 00:21:36.138 --> 00:21:37.773
  • Anointed you," father telling the son, "god has anointed you
  • 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:39.374
  • The son, "god has anointed you with the oil of gladness above
  • 00:21:39.441 --> 00:21:40.842
  • With the oil of gladness above your fellows."
