  • In that moment because jesus took on the sins
  • 00:03:04.486 --> 00:03:05.787

  • And that's when he cried out. for the first time,
  • 00:03:20.302 --> 00:03:21.403
  • For the first time, the god-man in flesh
  • 00:03:21.470 --> 00:03:25.107
  • The god-man in flesh felt the abandonment of god
  • 00:03:25.173 --> 00:03:28.777

  • And the holy spirit, and he cries out,
  • 00:03:29.878 --> 00:03:31.713
  • And he cries out, "my god, my god, why,"
  • 00:03:31.780 --> 00:03:35.951
  • "my god, my god, why," twice, "why have you

  • Twice, "why have you forsaken me?"
  • 00:03:38.287 --> 00:03:39.888
  • Forsaken me?" he didn't say,
  • 00:03:39.955 --> 00:03:40.656

  • 00:03:40.722 --> 00:03:41.623
  • "why am i bleeding? why am i suffering?"
  • 00:03:41.690 --> 00:03:43.325
  • Why am i suffering?" but his concern was,
  • 00:03:43.392 --> 00:03:44.760
  • But his concern was, "why i've never
  • 00:03:44.826 --> 00:03:47.195
  • "why i've never had this feeling that
  • 00:03:47.262 --> 00:03:48.497
  • Had this feeling that the presence has left me?
  • 00:03:48.563 --> 00:03:51.867
  • The presence has left me? i don't feel
  • 00:03:51.933 --> 00:03:52.401
  • I don't feel the presence anymore."
  • 00:03:52.467 --> 00:03:55.871
  • The presence anymore." when the presence lifted
  • 00:03:55.937 --> 00:03:57.172
  • When the presence lifted and when the words
  • 00:03:57.239 --> 00:03:58.407
  • And when the words of his mouth ceased, he died.
  • 00:03:58.473 --> 00:04:01.977
  • Of his mouth ceased, he died. there's a clue in this that

  • And worshiping him and being in that place with him

  • In that place with him because his presence
  • 00:04:34.710 --> 00:04:36.178
  • Because his presence gives life to your soul
  • 00:04:36.244 --> 00:04:38.680

  • Anything to him, he just got in the presence.
  • 00:04:47.122 --> 00:04:48.490
  • He just got in the presence. and he said,

  • 00:04:55.697 --> 00:04:57.132
  • The presence of god is available to you?
  • 00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:58.400
  • Is available to you? the veil has been torn.
  • 00:04:58.467 --> 00:05:02.204
  • My text said that the veil
  • 00:05:02.304 --> 00:05:04.139
  • Was torn top to bottom,
  • 00:05:04.206 --> 00:05:05.574
  • Not bottom to top.
  • 00:05:05.640 --> 00:05:07.442
  • Bottom to top would mean some
  • 00:05:07.509 --> 00:05:09.010
  • Man got in there and tore it.
  • 00:05:09.077 --> 00:05:10.645
  • But when --
  • 00:05:10.712 --> 00:05:11.646
  • That thing was 40 feet high,
  • 00:05:11.747 --> 00:05:13.181
  • That thing was 40 feet high, it had to be god reaching down
  • 00:05:13.248 --> 00:05:15.384
  • It had to be god reaching down from heaven and saying,
  • 00:05:15.450 --> 00:05:16.785
  • From heaven and saying, "i'm tearing the veil.
  • 00:05:16.852 --> 00:05:18.053
  • "i'm tearing the veil. come on in my presence."
  • 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:19.955
  • [applause]
  • 00:05:20.389 --> 00:05:23.725
  • When jesus was
  • 00:05:24.326 --> 00:05:24.893
  • When jesus was baptized in water,
  • 00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:26.294
  • Baptized in water, the holy spirit descended
  • 00:05:26.361 --> 00:05:28.096
  • The holy spirit descended in the form of a dove
  • 00:05:28.163 --> 00:05:30.165
  • In the form of a dove and sat upon him.
  • 00:05:30.232 --> 00:05:34.202
  • And sat upon him. doves are very observant.
  • 00:05:34.269 --> 00:05:37.873
  • Doves are very observant. a little disturbance
  • 00:05:37.939 --> 00:05:39.040
  • A little disturbance makes them fly away.
  • 00:05:39.107 --> 00:05:41.943
  • Makes them fly away. we must be very careful
  • 00:05:42.010 --> 00:05:45.347
  • We must be very careful how we approach god.
  • 00:05:45.414 --> 00:05:49.718
  • How we approach god. when noah sent the dove
  • 00:05:49.785 --> 00:05:50.819
  • When noah sent the dove out of the ark after the flood,
  • 00:05:50.886 --> 00:05:53.655
  • Out of the ark after the flood, the dove flew and came back
  • 00:05:53.722 --> 00:05:55.657
  • The dove flew and came back because the scripture said
  • 00:05:55.724 --> 00:05:57.125
  • Because the scripture said there was nothing out there
  • 00:05:57.192 --> 00:05:58.960
  • There was nothing out there but a culture of death.
  • 00:05:59.027 --> 00:06:00.762
  • But a culture of death. nothing out there
  • 00:06:00.829 --> 00:06:01.630
  • Nothing out there but dead bodies
  • 00:06:01.696 --> 00:06:02.764
  • But dead bodies and dead animals.
  • 00:06:02.831 --> 00:06:04.232
  • And dead animals. and the dove will not land.
  • 00:06:04.299 --> 00:06:08.537
  • And the dove will not land. he said he found no place
  • 00:06:08.603 --> 00:06:10.505
  • He said he found no place for the soles of his feet.
  • 00:06:10.572 --> 00:06:12.007
  • For the soles of his feet. the dove will not land on death.
  • 00:06:12.073 --> 00:06:18.814
  • The dove will not land on death. there's nothing out there.
  • 00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:20.215
  • There's nothing out there. the dove is looking for life.
  • 00:06:20.282 --> 00:06:26.354
  • The dove is looking for life. and he brought back
  • 00:06:26.421 --> 00:06:27.255
  • And he brought back with him an olive branch,
  • 00:06:27.322 --> 00:06:29.124
  • With him an olive branch, which was evidence
  • 00:06:29.191 --> 00:06:31.059

  • Of a new world that's out there.
  • 00:06:32.227 --> 00:06:33.829
  • That's out there. it was evidence that god is
  • 00:06:33.895 --> 00:06:35.297
  • It was evidence that god is not mad at us anymore.
  • 00:06:35.363 --> 00:06:37.432
  • Not mad at us anymore. it was evidence that
  • 00:06:37.499 --> 00:06:39.434
  • It was evidence that a new creation, so to speak,
  • 00:06:39.501 --> 00:06:41.770
  • A new creation, so to speak, has happened and the waters
  • 00:06:41.837 --> 00:06:44.039
  • Are receding.
  • 00:06:44.139 --> 00:06:45.540
  • Are receding. and god has a brand-new life
  • 00:06:45.607 --> 00:06:47.843
  • And god has a brand-new life for those of us
  • 00:06:47.909 --> 00:06:48.643
  • For those of us who are on the ark.
  • 00:06:48.710 --> 00:06:51.379
  • Who are on the ark. when the anointing

  • That was in that dove's mouth, you go to speaking
  • 00:07:03.325 --> 00:07:04.226
  • You go to speaking another language.
  • 00:07:04.292 --> 00:07:05.427
  • Another language. there's a peace out there

  • I want to host the holy ghost. we've got to be careful
  • 00:07:47.168 --> 00:07:47.936
  • We've got to be careful if we want him to remain.
  • 00:07:48.003 --> 00:07:49.671
  • If we want him to remain. david said it like this
  • 00:07:49.738 --> 00:07:50.772
  • David said it like this in psalms 51.
  • 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.708
  • In psalms 51. "take not thy holy spirit

  • Take my power. but i beg you, god,
  • 00:08:05.921 --> 00:08:08.857
  • But i beg you, god, don't take the presence

  • Don't take the presence of the holy spirit away
  • 00:08:11.626 --> 00:08:13.562
  • Of the holy spirit away from me and my family."
  • 00:08:13.628 --> 00:08:16.965
  • From me and my family." what a prayer.
  • 00:08:17.032 --> 00:08:19.401
  • What a prayer. what a cry.
  • 00:08:19.467 --> 00:08:22.070
  • What a cry. carry the presence of god.
  • 00:08:22.137 --> 00:08:24.539
  • Carry the presence of god. in mark chapter 5,
  • 00:08:24.606 --> 00:08:25.707
  • In mark chapter 5, the woman with the issue
  • 00:08:25.774 --> 00:08:26.775
  • The woman with the issue of blood touched jesus,
  • 00:08:26.841 --> 00:08:28.944
  • Of blood touched jesus, we say, but she didn't.
  • 00:08:29.010 --> 00:08:30.779
  • We say, but she didn't. she never touched jesus.
  • 00:08:30.845 --> 00:08:32.180
  • She never touched jesus. she touched the hem
  • 00:08:32.247 --> 00:08:33.048
  • She touched the hem of his garment.
  • 00:08:33.114 --> 00:08:34.082
  • Of his garment. she touched something
  • 00:08:34.149 --> 00:08:35.183
  • That had touched him.
  • 00:08:35.283 --> 00:08:38.053
  • She touched something
  • 00:08:38.119 --> 00:08:40.789
  • That had been touched by him.
  • 00:08:40.855 --> 00:08:45.060
  • If you touch him
  • 00:08:45.126 --> 00:08:47.128
  • And then you go to school,
  • 00:08:47.195 --> 00:08:49.931
  • If you get in his presence
  • 00:08:49.998 --> 00:08:51.433
  • And you touch him
  • 00:08:51.499 --> 00:08:52.534
  • And then you go to work,
  • 00:08:52.601 --> 00:08:54.235
  • And then you go into your home,
  • 00:08:54.302 --> 00:08:56.571
  • Somebody will touch you.
  • 00:08:56.638 --> 00:08:59.741
  • And when they're touching you,
  • 00:08:59.808 --> 00:09:01.376
  • They're touching something
  • 00:09:01.443 --> 00:09:03.078
  • That has touched him.
  • 00:09:03.144 --> 00:09:04.546
  • [applause]
  • 00:09:04.913 --> 00:09:06.581
  • When she touched something
  • 00:09:07.482 --> 00:09:08.850
  • When she touched something that had touched him,
  • 00:09:08.917 --> 00:09:10.619
  • That had touched him, power was released into her.
  • 00:09:10.685 --> 00:09:14.589
  • Power was released into her. when we get in
  • 00:09:14.656 --> 00:09:15.123
  • When we get in the presence of god --
  • 00:09:15.190 --> 00:09:16.558
  • The presence of god -- the bible said of the apostles,
  • 00:09:16.625 --> 00:09:18.326
  • The bible said of the apostles, they took note of them
  • 00:09:18.393 --> 00:09:19.461
  • They took note of them that they had been with him.
  • 00:09:19.527 --> 00:09:24.032
  • That they had been with him. they said, these are
  • 00:09:24.099 --> 00:09:24.833
  • They said, these are ignorant and unlearned men,
  • 00:09:24.899 --> 00:09:26.601
  • Ignorant and unlearned men, but there's something
  • 00:09:26.668 --> 00:09:27.702
  • But there's something about them.
  • 00:09:27.769 --> 00:09:28.803
  • About them. they've been in his presence
  • 00:09:28.870 --> 00:09:30.705
  • They've been in his presence and there's something
  • 00:09:30.772 --> 00:09:32.307
  • And there's something that's irresistible.
  • 00:09:32.374 --> 00:09:36.678
  • That's irresistible. touch him for them.
  • 00:09:36.745 --> 00:09:40.849
  • Touch him for them. even this morning,
  • 00:09:40.915 --> 00:09:42.183
  • Even this morning, you can get more
  • 00:09:42.250 --> 00:09:43.018
  • You can get more out of this service.
  • 00:09:43.084 --> 00:09:44.152
  • Out of this service. you can take something with you.
  • 00:09:44.219 --> 00:09:46.054
  • You can take something with you. touch him for them.
  • 00:09:46.121 --> 00:09:49.991
  • Presence is transferable.
  • 00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:56.297
  • Presence is transferable. the apostle paul
  • 00:09:56.364 --> 00:09:57.065
  • The apostle paul put it like this.
  • 00:09:57.132 --> 00:09:58.867
  • Put it like this. he said, "i charge you
  • 00:09:58.933 --> 00:10:00.502
  • He said, "i charge you before the lord jesus christ,"
  • 00:10:00.568 --> 00:10:03.405
  • Before the lord jesus christ," in 1 timothy 5:21.
  • 00:10:03.471 --> 00:10:05.040
  • In 1 timothy 5:21. "i charge you."
  • 00:10:05.106 --> 00:10:06.841
  • "i charge you." he didn't say,
  • 00:10:06.908 --> 00:10:07.275
  • He didn't say, "i shock you."
  • 00:10:07.342 --> 00:10:10.245
  • "i shock you." there's a difference between
  • 00:10:10.311 --> 00:10:11.746
  • There's a difference between something getting charged,
  • 00:10:11.813 --> 00:10:13.948
  • Something getting charged, it can hold its power.
  • 00:10:14.015 --> 00:10:15.283
  • It can hold its power. but a shock is just...
  • 00:10:15.350 --> 00:10:18.086
  • But a shock is just... and that's about all
  • 00:10:18.153 --> 00:10:18.687
  • And that's about all some people get.
  • 00:10:18.753 --> 00:10:21.189
  • Some people get. they come to church.
  • 00:10:21.256 --> 00:10:22.757
  • They come to church. finally, they feel god,
  • 00:10:22.824 --> 00:10:24.159
  • Finally, they feel god, a little song
  • 00:10:24.225 --> 00:10:25.126
  • A little song or somewhere in the service,
  • 00:10:25.193 --> 00:10:26.961
  • Or somewhere in the service, something happens and...
  • 00:10:27.028 --> 00:10:27.762
  • "oh, i felt a little bit of god.
  • 00:10:29.197 --> 00:10:30.699
  • "oh, i felt a little bit of god. praise the lord."
  • 00:10:30.765 --> 00:10:31.900
  • Praise the lord." but as they're walking
  • 00:10:31.966 --> 00:10:32.701
  • But as they're walking out the door, they're already --
  • 00:10:32.767 --> 00:10:35.503
  • Out the door, they're already -- the energizer bunny is dying.
  • 00:10:35.570 --> 00:10:40.608
  • The energizer bunny is dying. i'm going to tell you,
  • 00:10:40.675 --> 00:10:41.209
  • I'm going to tell you, you ought to get in his presence
  • 00:10:41.276 --> 00:10:42.844
  • You ought to get in his presence so great that he charges you.
  • 00:10:42.911 --> 00:10:47.449
  • So great that he charges you. and you hold the power
  • 00:10:47.515 --> 00:10:53.254
  • And you hold the power and you take it wherever you go.
  • 00:10:53.321 --> 00:10:57.025
  • And you take it wherever you go. turn to somebody and say,
  • 00:10:57.092 --> 00:10:57.959
  • Turn to somebody and say, "stay plugged in."
  • 00:10:58.026 --> 00:10:59.694
  • "stay plugged in." >> congregation: stay
  • 00:10:59.761 --> 00:11:00.328
  • >> congregation: stay plugged in.
  • 00:11:00.395 --> 00:11:02.130
  • Plugged in. i close with this.
  • 00:11:02.197 --> 00:11:03.465
  • I close with this. but in exodus 33,
  • 00:11:03.531 --> 00:11:07.702
  • But in exodus 33, god told moses
  • 00:11:07.769 --> 00:11:09.270
  • God told moses some powerful things.
  • 00:11:09.337 --> 00:11:12.140
  • Some powerful things. he said, "number one,
  • 00:11:12.207 --> 00:11:14.409
  • He said, "number one, my angel will go before you.
  • 00:11:14.476 --> 00:11:19.347
  • My angel will go before you. you go on and go into
  • 00:11:19.414 --> 00:11:20.915
  • You go on and go into the promised land
  • 00:11:20.982 --> 00:11:22.050
  • The promised land and go out of egypt,
  • 00:11:22.117 --> 00:11:23.418
  • And go out of egypt, come out of egypt
  • 00:11:23.485 --> 00:11:24.185
  • Come out of egypt and my angel
  • 00:11:24.252 --> 00:11:26.020
  • And my angel will go before you."
  • 00:11:26.087 --> 00:11:27.088
  • Will go before you." you know what else he said?
  • 00:11:27.155 --> 00:11:28.089
  • You know what else he said? he said, "my promises,
  • 00:11:28.156 --> 00:11:29.491
  • He said, "my promises, my covenant will be with you."
  • 00:11:29.557 --> 00:11:33.061
  • My covenant will be with you." but i love david's --
  • 00:11:33.128 --> 00:11:35.196
  • But i love david's -- moses' response.
  • 00:11:35.263 --> 00:11:38.700
  • Moses' response. he said, "i appreciate
  • 00:11:38.767 --> 00:11:42.137
  • He said, "i appreciate the angel,
  • 00:11:42.203 --> 00:11:45.774
  • The angel, i appreciate the word,
  • 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:50.979
  • I appreciate the word, but it's nothing
  • 00:11:51.045 --> 00:11:51.579
  • But it's nothing without your presence."
  • 00:11:51.646 --> 00:11:53.982
  • Without your presence." and he stopped
  • 00:11:54.048 --> 00:11:54.716
  • And he stopped two and a half million people
  • 00:11:54.783 --> 00:11:56.718
  • Two and a half million people from progressing
  • 00:11:56.785 --> 00:11:57.919
  • From progressing and going forward.
  • 00:11:57.986 --> 00:11:58.486
  • And going forward. he stopped everything
  • 00:11:58.553 --> 00:12:00.121
  • He stopped everything and he cried out,
  • 00:12:00.188 --> 00:12:01.623
  • And he cried out, "god, if your presence
  • 00:12:01.689 --> 00:12:03.091
  • "god, if your presence does not go with me,
  • 00:12:03.158 --> 00:12:07.629
  • Does not go with me, i will not go.
  • 00:12:07.695 --> 00:12:10.298
  • I will not go. if your presence
  • 00:12:10.365 --> 00:12:11.232
  • If your presence can't go with me."
  • 00:12:11.299 --> 00:12:14.235
  • Can't go with me." i'd rather have his presence
  • 00:12:14.302 --> 00:12:15.804
  • I'd rather have his presence than make ten million dollars.
  • 00:12:15.870 --> 00:12:18.840
  • Than make ten million dollars. i'd rather have his presence

  • If i can't have his presence, i don't want to go.
  • 00:12:28.616 --> 00:12:30.819
  • I don't want to go. if it's going to cost me
  • 00:12:30.885 --> 00:12:32.120
  • If it's going to cost me his presence, i don't want it.
  • 00:12:32.187 --> 00:12:38.193
  • That's what i told the lord

  • In any relationships that causes the presence
  • 00:13:26.241 --> 00:13:29.143

  • 00:13:29.210 --> 00:13:31.713
  • To back off. i don't want to get involved
  • 00:13:31.779 --> 00:13:33.014

  • Now, here's the -- here's the powerful thing about it.
  • 00:13:48.630 --> 00:13:49.964
  • The powerful thing about it. there is a place in god where
  • 00:13:50.031 --> 00:13:51.299
  • There is a place in god where you can go anywhere, almost.
  • 00:13:51.366 --> 00:13:55.436
  • You can go anywhere, almost. and if the god in you
  • 00:13:55.503 --> 00:13:56.671
  • And if the god in you is stronger than

  • The devil in them, you can be a witness.
  • 00:13:58.439 --> 00:13:59.340
  • You can be a witness. but that takes years and years
  • 00:13:59.407 --> 00:14:01.442
  • But that takes years and years and years of discipleship
  • 00:14:01.509 --> 00:14:03.478
  • And years of discipleship and getting in his presence.
  • 00:14:03.544 --> 00:14:07.682
  • And getting in his presence. but if you would pray
  • 00:14:07.749 --> 00:14:09.550
  • But if you would pray this morning, "lord,

  • I don't want anything, but you." and this is the meal
  • 00:14:15.757 --> 00:14:17.825
  • And this is the meal of his presence,
  • 00:14:17.892 --> 00:14:19.761
  • Of his presence, the bread of his presence.

  • Here's what's so powerful about this.
  • 00:14:33.775 --> 00:14:35.176
  • About this. there's only one place
  • 00:14:35.243 --> 00:14:36.644
  • There's only one place in all the bible
  • 00:14:36.711 --> 00:14:41.683
  • In all the bible where we are told
  • 00:14:41.749 --> 00:14:42.884
  • Where we are told to not walk by faith only.
  • 00:14:42.951 --> 00:14:45.987
  • To not walk by faith only. every other place, he says,
  • 00:14:46.054 --> 00:14:46.988
  • Every other place, he says, "walk by faith, not by sight.
  • 00:14:47.055 --> 00:14:49.223
  • "walk by faith, not by sight. walk, by faith, not by sight.

  • Don't go by what you see, go by what my word says."
  • 00:14:53.227 --> 00:14:55.363
  • Go by what my word says." but he says, "when you do this,
  • 00:14:55.430 --> 00:14:58.166
  • But he says, "when you do this, i want you to have something
  • 00:14:58.232 --> 00:15:00.068
  • I want you to have something in your hand that

  • Physically hold them." never approach this lightly.
  • 00:15:26.427 --> 00:15:30.665
  • Never approach this lightly. the bible even said,
  • 00:15:30.732 --> 00:15:31.532
  • The bible even said, "let a man examine himself
  • 00:15:31.599 --> 00:15:33.701
  • "let a man examine himself before he eats this meal."
  • 00:15:33.768 --> 00:15:37.138
  • Before he eats this meal." if there's anything you need

  • "well, that's just a little piece of bread."
  • 00:16:14.509 --> 00:16:16.310
  • A little piece of bread." but gideon was told by god
  • 00:16:16.377 --> 00:16:19.547
  • But gideon was told by god to go to the enemy's camp
  • 00:16:19.614 --> 00:16:20.948
  • To go to the enemy's camp and listen to what
  • 00:16:21.015 --> 00:16:22.717
  • And listen to what they were saying.

  • And wiped them out." this is just a piece of bread,
  • 00:16:38.266 --> 00:16:40.168
  • This is just a piece of bread, but when you put faith to it
  • 00:16:40.234 --> 00:16:42.837
  • But when you put faith to it of what he did on the cross,
  • 00:16:42.904 --> 00:16:47.708
  • Of what he did on the cross, it's more than that.

  • Deliver my daughter, she's tormented with demons."
  • 00:16:54.916 --> 00:16:59.954
  • She's tormented with demons." and jesus said,
  • 00:17:00.021 --> 00:17:00.788
  • And jesus said, "it's not right for me to give
  • 00:17:00.855 --> 00:17:04.292
