- 00:02:19.052 --> 00:02:22.689
- But the carpenters
- 00:02:22.755 --> 00:02:24.691

- So, i'm preaching today on, "build it."

- "the remedy for discouragement." but i feel those words alive
- 00:02:50.149 --> 00:02:51.751
- But i feel those words alive in my soul this morning,
- 00:02:51.818 --> 00:02:53.419
- In my soul this morning, "build it,"
- 00:02:53.486 --> 00:02:54.621
- "build it," in some cases, rebuild it.
- 00:02:54.687 --> 00:02:57.490
- In some cases, rebuild it. but you'll understand that
- 00:02:57.557 --> 00:03:00.193
- What god is doing in this hour,
- 00:03:00.293 --> 00:03:02.061
- What god is doing in this hour, i believe,
- 00:03:02.128 --> 00:03:02.729
- I believe, is found in zechariah 1.
- 00:03:02.795 --> 00:03:06.866
- Is found in zechariah 1. he speaks of a vision,
- 00:03:06.933 --> 00:03:08.701
- He speaks of a vision, and he speaks of seeing
- 00:03:08.768 --> 00:03:10.536
- And he speaks of seeing in the middle of it
- 00:03:10.603 --> 00:03:11.938
- In the middle of it four horns rising up.
- 00:03:12.005 --> 00:03:14.974
- He said, "and behold,
- 00:03:15.074 --> 00:03:16.609
- I lifted up my eyes
- 00:03:16.676 --> 00:03:18.845
- And there were four horns."
- 00:03:18.911 --> 00:03:21.314
- Horns in the bible
- 00:03:21.381 --> 00:03:22.849
- Are symbols and synonymous
- 00:03:22.915 --> 00:03:24.717
- With power,
- 00:03:24.784 --> 00:03:26.152
- With strength,
- 00:03:26.219 --> 00:03:27.920
- With a ram's horn,
- 00:03:27.987 --> 00:03:29.355
- Is what it's referring to.
- 00:03:29.422 --> 00:03:30.990
- And it has to do
- 00:03:31.090 --> 00:03:31.991
- And it has to do with aggressive power,
- 00:03:32.058 --> 00:03:33.426
- With aggressive power, not just power,
- 00:03:33.493 --> 00:03:34.227
- Not just power, but aggressive power,
- 00:03:34.294 --> 00:03:36.396
- But aggressive power, unbridled, without restraint.
- 00:03:36.462 --> 00:03:40.366
- Unbridled, without restraint. and it's coming to destroy --
- 00:03:40.433 --> 00:03:41.901
- And it's coming to destroy -- these four horns came
- 00:03:41.968 --> 00:03:43.269
- These four horns came up to destroy,
- 00:03:43.336 --> 00:03:45.071
- Up to destroy, notice what it said,
- 00:03:45.138 --> 00:03:46.472
- "to scatter,
- 00:03:46.572 --> 00:03:47.974
- Rising up against jerusalem,"
- 00:03:48.041 --> 00:03:50.576
- Which is the capital
- 00:03:50.643 --> 00:03:51.678
- City of israel,
- 00:03:51.744 --> 00:03:53.346
- "and, judah,"
- 00:03:53.413 --> 00:03:54.113
- Which is the people,
- 00:03:54.180 --> 00:03:55.148

- 00:03:55.214 --> 00:03:56.716
- The race, of israel,
- 00:03:56.816 --> 00:03:59.319
- The race, of israel, "and israel,"
- 00:03:59.385 --> 00:04:00.353
- "and israel," the entire nation,
- 00:04:00.420 --> 00:04:02.422
- The entire nation, "to scatter them."
- 00:04:02.488 --> 00:04:03.756
- "to scatter them." that word is so important.
- 00:04:03.823 --> 00:04:05.558
- That word is so important. the purpose of the horns
- 00:04:05.625 --> 00:04:07.760
- The purpose of the horns was to scatter israel.
- 00:04:07.827 --> 00:04:11.664
- Was to scatter israel. it was -- and we, today,
- 00:04:11.731 --> 00:04:13.733
- It was -- and we, today, the church,
- 00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:14.534
- The church, is spiritual israel.
- 00:04:14.600 --> 00:04:16.602
- Is spiritual israel. there's natural israel
- 00:04:16.669 --> 00:04:17.770
- There's natural israel and there's spiritual israel.
- 00:04:17.837 --> 00:04:20.173
- And there's spiritual israel. and these things were written
- 00:04:20.239 --> 00:04:21.374
- And these things were written for our learning to understand
- 00:04:21.441 --> 00:04:23.843
- For our learning to understand how the enemy operates when he
- 00:04:23.910 --> 00:04:25.845
- How the enemy operates when he attacks israel the church,
- 00:04:25.912 --> 00:04:28.214
- Attacks israel the church, the body of christ,
- 00:04:28.281 --> 00:04:30.817
- The body of christ, so that the people
- 00:04:30.883 --> 00:04:32.118
- So that the people would be so defeated,
- 00:04:32.185 --> 00:04:34.687
- Would be so defeated, so discouraged,
- 00:04:34.754 --> 00:04:36.089

- 00:04:36.155 --> 00:04:37.724
- And despondent that their head is looking down,
- 00:04:37.790 --> 00:04:40.727
- Their head is looking down, not looking up.
- 00:04:40.793 --> 00:04:42.729
- Not looking up. adversity comes to take
- 00:04:42.795 --> 00:04:46.466
- Adversity comes to take our vision,
- 00:04:46.532 --> 00:04:48.668
- Our vision, to turn our head down
- 00:04:48.735 --> 00:04:50.837
- To turn our head down away from the future of hope,
- 00:04:50.903 --> 00:04:54.407
- Away from the future of hope, and the faith in our future
- 00:04:54.474 --> 00:04:57.477
- And the faith in our future to be dissipated,
- 00:04:57.543 --> 00:04:59.278
- To be dissipated, to be discouraged.
- 00:04:59.345 --> 00:05:01.280
- To be discouraged. and everything about that
- 00:05:01.347 --> 00:05:02.448
- And everything about that posture of looking
- 00:05:02.515 --> 00:05:03.649
- Posture of looking down is unbiblical.
- 00:05:03.716 --> 00:05:06.319
- Down is unbiblical. the bible clearly says
- 00:05:06.386 --> 00:05:08.254
- The bible clearly says in psalms 121:1-2,
- 00:05:08.321 --> 00:05:12.058
- In psalms 121:1-2, "lift up your eyes
- 00:05:12.125 --> 00:05:13.292
- "lift up your eyes unto the hills."
- 00:05:13.359 --> 00:05:16.162
- Unto the hills." you're not supposed
- 00:05:16.229 --> 00:05:17.263
- You're not supposed to be despondent
- 00:05:17.330 --> 00:05:18.898
- To be despondent and looking down.
- 00:05:18.965 --> 00:05:20.133
- And looking down. that's the enemy
- 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:21.567
- That's the enemy and the spirit that's coming.
- 00:05:21.634 --> 00:05:23.202
- And the spirit that's coming. and it came to the nation
- 00:05:23.269 --> 00:05:25.104
- And it came to the nation of israel,
- 00:05:25.171 --> 00:05:25.838
- Of israel, the people of israel,
- 00:05:25.905 --> 00:05:27.340
- The people of israel, and the capital city
- 00:05:27.407 --> 00:05:28.841
- And the capital city of jerusalem,
- 00:05:28.908 --> 00:05:29.942
- Of jerusalem, and it said,
- 00:05:30.009 --> 00:05:31.611
- And it said, "you are defeated,
- 00:05:31.677 --> 00:05:32.979
- "you are defeated, and you are to stay down.
- 00:05:33.045 --> 00:05:34.614
- And you are to stay down. don't you look up
- 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:35.648
- Don't you look up with faith and vision."
- 00:05:35.715 --> 00:05:37.984
- With faith and vision." "lift up your head unto
- 00:05:38.050 --> 00:05:39.819
- "lift up your head unto the hills from which
- 00:05:39.886 --> 00:05:41.721
- The hills from which cometh your help,
- 00:05:41.788 --> 00:05:43.289

- Told me to preach. we have a bright future.
- 00:05:54.300 --> 00:05:57.136
- We have a bright future. your family,
- 00:05:57.203 --> 00:05:58.738
- Your family, if you believe in jesus christ,
- 00:05:58.805 --> 00:06:01.007
- If you believe in jesus christ, i don't care how scattered
- 00:06:01.073 --> 00:06:02.408
- I don't care how scattered and divided it is,

- The carpenter's son?" carpentry has always been god's
- 00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:23.582
- Carpentry has always been god's remedy for scattering,
- 00:13:23.649 --> 00:13:26.785
- Remedy for scattering, and dividing,
- 00:13:26.852 --> 00:13:28.320
- And dividing, and discouraging
- 00:13:28.387 --> 00:13:29.722
- And discouraging god's people.
- 00:13:29.788 --> 00:13:32.157
- God's people. jesus showed up with the spirit
- 00:13:32.224 --> 00:13:34.260
- Jesus showed up with the spirit of the builder when he came.
- 00:13:34.326 --> 00:13:36.829
- Of the builder when he came. and he said,
- 00:13:36.896 --> 00:13:37.429
- And he said, "i've got the tools
- 00:13:37.496 --> 00:13:38.697
- "i've got the tools that i need to rebuild
- 00:13:38.764 --> 00:13:39.865
- That i need to rebuild any marriage, any family,
- 00:13:39.932 --> 00:13:41.734
- Any marriage, any family, any nation, any people
- 00:13:41.800 --> 00:13:43.335
- Any nation, any people who will turn to me.
- 00:13:43.402 --> 00:13:45.704
- Who will turn to me. i've got three nails,
- 00:13:45.771 --> 00:13:47.406
- I've got three nails, i've got a hammer,
- 00:13:47.473 --> 00:13:48.908
- I've got a hammer, and i've got two beams."
- 00:13:48.974 --> 00:13:51.977
- And i've got two beams." and if you take the cross,
- 00:13:52.044 --> 00:13:53.979
- And if you take the cross, and the nails,
- 00:13:54.046 --> 00:13:55.314
- And the nails, and you take the sacrifice
- 00:13:55.381 --> 00:13:57.149
- And you take the sacrifice of his blood on the cross,
- 00:13:57.216 --> 00:13:59.385
- Of his blood on the cross, it can rebuild any broken
- 00:13:59.451 --> 00:14:01.020
- It can rebuild any broken place in your life.
- 00:14:01.086 --> 00:14:03.956
- Place in your life. that's my carpenter.
- 00:14:04.023 --> 00:14:05.257
- That's my carpenter. his name is jesus.
- 00:14:05.324 --> 00:14:08.160
- His name is jesus. so, there are three things
- 00:14:08.227 --> 00:14:09.695
- So, there are three things that god wants us to rebuild
- 00:14:09.762 --> 00:14:13.866
- That god wants us to rebuild if you're gonna see the spirit
- 00:14:13.933 --> 00:14:15.668
- If you're gonna see the spirit of the carpenter hit
- 00:14:15.734 --> 00:14:18.037
- Of the carpenter hit your life and raise back
- 00:14:18.103 --> 00:14:21.006
- Your life and raise back up what the enemy has
- 00:14:21.073 --> 00:14:22.408
- Up what the enemy has scattered and divided.
- 00:14:22.474 --> 00:14:25.878
- Scattered and divided. first of all,
- 00:14:25.945 --> 00:14:26.912
- First of all, you gotta rebuild the altar.
- 00:14:26.979 --> 00:14:31.550
- You gotta rebuild the altar. every problem with people
- 00:14:31.617 --> 00:14:37.022
- Every problem with people is a prayer problem.
- 00:14:37.089 --> 00:14:42.061
- Is a prayer problem. if you fix your altar,
- 00:14:42.127 --> 00:14:44.830
- If you fix your altar, you will fix your life.
- 00:14:44.897 --> 00:14:48.100
- You will fix your life. if your altar is unfixed,
- 00:14:48.167 --> 00:14:50.769
- If your altar is unfixed, your life will remain unfixed.
- 00:14:50.836 --> 00:14:54.673
- Your life will remain unfixed. there comes a point when you get
- 00:14:54.740 --> 00:14:57.276
- There comes a point when you get so desperate that
- 00:14:57.343 --> 00:14:59.011
- So desperate that you rebuild your altar.
- 00:14:59.078 --> 00:15:01.313
- You rebuild your altar. and if you will rebuild
- 00:15:01.380 --> 00:15:02.581
- And if you will rebuild the altar and put god
- 00:15:02.648 --> 00:15:04.249
- The altar and put god first in your life,
- 00:15:04.316 --> 00:15:06.485
- First in your life, and begin to call on him,
- 00:15:06.552 --> 00:15:08.988
- And begin to call on him, and begin to listen to him --
- 00:15:09.054 --> 00:15:11.223
- And begin to listen to him -- because prayer
- 00:15:11.290 --> 00:15:11.890
- Because prayer is talking to god,
- 00:15:11.957 --> 00:15:13.659
- Is talking to god, word is listening to god.
- 00:15:13.726 --> 00:15:17.396
- Word is listening to god. and if you will
- 00:15:17.463 --> 00:15:18.263
- And if you will rebuild your altar,
- 00:15:18.330 --> 00:15:20.799
- Rebuild your altar, your altar will rebuild
- 00:15:20.866 --> 00:15:22.401
- Your altar will rebuild your life,
- 00:15:22.468 --> 00:15:23.469
- Your life, rebuild your marriage,
- 00:15:23.535 --> 00:15:25.104
- Rebuild your marriage, rebuild your children,
- 00:15:25.170 --> 00:15:26.839
- Rebuild your children, rebuild your future.
- 00:15:26.905 --> 00:15:29.441
- Rebuild your future. there is no shortcuts.
- 00:15:29.508 --> 00:15:30.976
- There is no shortcuts. that's why when elijah wanted
- 00:15:31.043 --> 00:15:33.178
- That's why when elijah wanted the fire to fall on
- 00:15:33.245 --> 00:15:35.381
- The fire to fall on his nation again --
- 00:15:35.447 --> 00:15:37.249
- His nation again -- they were in a drought
- 00:15:37.316 --> 00:15:38.450
- They were in a drought for three and a half years
- 00:15:38.517 --> 00:15:40.019
- For three and a half years and he went to mount carmel
- 00:15:40.085 --> 00:15:42.221
- And he went to mount carmel and he said,
- 00:15:42.287 --> 00:15:42.788
- And he said, "i've got to first build
- 00:15:42.855 --> 00:15:44.723
- "i've got to first build an altar to solve this problem,
- 00:15:44.790 --> 00:15:47.259
- An altar to solve this problem, to rebuild the nation,
- 00:15:47.326 --> 00:15:49.028
- To rebuild the nation, rebuild the altar."
- 00:15:49.094 --> 00:15:50.496
- Rebuild the altar." and he got 12 stones,
- 00:15:50.562 --> 00:15:53.132
- And he got 12 stones, he stacked them on
- 00:15:53.198 --> 00:15:53.999
- He stacked them on top of each other.
- 00:15:54.066 --> 00:15:55.234
- Top of each other. he built a fire with wood.
- 00:15:55.300 --> 00:15:59.204
- He built a fire with wood. and he did not start the fire,
- 00:15:59.271 --> 00:16:01.740
- And he did not start the fire, he just put the wood there
- 00:16:01.807 --> 00:16:03.709
- He just put the wood there and he laid the sacrifice
- 00:16:03.776 --> 00:16:05.244
- And he laid the sacrifice on the drywood,
- 00:16:05.310 --> 00:16:06.945
- On the drywood, and then he did
- 00:16:07.012 --> 00:16:07.880
- And then he did something strange.
- 00:16:07.946 --> 00:16:09.448
- Something strange. he called for 12 barrels
- 00:16:09.515 --> 00:16:12.418
- He called for 12 barrels of water.
- 00:16:12.484 --> 00:16:14.053
- Of water. the one thing they
- 00:16:14.119 --> 00:16:15.120
- The one thing they didn't have was water.
- 00:16:15.187 --> 00:16:18.090
- Didn't have was water. it had not rain nor dew
- 00:16:18.157 --> 00:16:20.793
- It had not rain nor dew had come in the mornings.
- 00:16:20.859 --> 00:16:23.295
- Had come in the mornings. there was no dew or rain
- 00:16:23.362 --> 00:16:25.931
- There was no dew or rain for three and half years,
- 00:16:25.998 --> 00:16:27.633
- For three and half years, and water was the one
- 00:16:27.699 --> 00:16:29.301
- And water was the one thing they didn't
- 00:16:29.368 --> 00:16:30.736
- Thing they didn't have much of at all.
- 00:16:30.803 --> 00:16:33.539
- Have much of at all. isn't it amazing that the thing
- 00:16:33.605 --> 00:16:35.374
- Isn't it amazing that the thing that will help you build your
- 00:16:35.441 --> 00:16:37.376
- That will help you build your altar is the thing you
- 00:16:37.443 --> 00:16:39.611
- Altar is the thing you don't have enough of.
- 00:16:39.678 --> 00:16:43.882
- Don't have enough of. and most people don't pray
- 00:16:43.949 --> 00:16:46.051
- And most people don't pray when they have what they need.
- 00:16:46.118 --> 00:16:48.987
- When they have what they need. but the thing that you don't
- 00:16:49.054 --> 00:16:51.256
- Have that you desperately want
- 00:16:51.356 --> 00:16:53.859
- To see happen is the very thing
- 00:16:53.926 --> 00:16:57.329
- That should cause you to pour,
- 00:16:57.396 --> 00:17:00.833
- And build an altar.
- 00:17:00.933 --> 00:17:02.634
- And build an altar. and they drenched the altar,
- 00:17:02.701 --> 00:17:04.536
- And they drenched the altar, and the fire fell
- 00:17:04.603 --> 00:17:06.004
- And the fire fell from heaven and lit the fire,
- 00:17:06.071 --> 00:17:08.540
- From heaven and lit the fire, and the famine was over,
- 00:17:08.607 --> 00:17:10.709
- And the famine was over, and the nation was blessed
- 00:17:10.776 --> 00:17:12.644
- And the nation was blessed and restored.
- 00:17:12.711 --> 00:17:15.013
- And restored. rebuild the altar.
- 00:17:15.080 --> 00:17:16.615
- Rebuild the altar. don't leave the altar
- 00:17:16.682 --> 00:17:18.350
- Don't leave the altar in disarray.
- 00:17:18.417 --> 00:17:19.451
- In disarray. if the enemies come through
- 00:17:19.518 --> 00:17:21.120
- If the enemies come through your family with scattering
- 00:17:21.186 --> 00:17:22.654
- Your family with scattering and dividing,
- 00:17:22.721 --> 00:17:23.755
- And dividing, rebuild the altar.
- 00:17:23.822 --> 00:17:26.458
- Altars are always the result
- 00:17:26.558 --> 00:17:28.827
- Altars are always the result of when you don't have enough
- 00:17:28.894 --> 00:17:31.230
- Of when you don't have enough in yourself to do it.
- 00:17:31.296 --> 00:17:32.965
- It's gonna take god.
- 00:17:33.065 --> 00:17:34.500
- It's gonna take god. use that as fuel to make
- 00:17:34.566 --> 00:17:38.003
- Use that as fuel to make you build an altar.
- 00:17:38.070 --> 00:17:41.240
- You build an altar. "i can't do it.
- 00:17:41.306 --> 00:17:42.040
- "i can't do it. i don't have enough,"
- 00:17:42.107 --> 00:17:43.475
- I don't have enough," but god can.
- 00:17:43.542 --> 00:17:45.277
- But god can. the second thing you gotta do,
- 00:17:45.344 --> 00:17:48.113
- The second thing you gotta do, if you're gonna get
- 00:17:48.180 --> 00:17:48.714
- If you're gonna get your head lifted up into
- 00:17:48.780 --> 00:17:50.716
- Your head lifted up into vision and future,
- 00:17:50.782 --> 00:17:51.950
- Vision and future, and rebuild your life,
- 00:17:52.017 --> 00:17:54.720
- And rebuild your life, and rebuild everything
- 00:17:54.786 --> 00:17:56.522
- And rebuild everything that the enemy has
- 00:17:56.588 --> 00:17:57.422
- That the enemy has scattered and divided,
- 00:17:57.489 --> 00:17:59.691
- Scattered and divided, is you gotta rebuild your
- 00:17:59.758 --> 00:18:01.927
- Is you gotta rebuild your relationships with people.
- 00:18:01.994 --> 00:18:07.533
- Relationships with people. you see, we have got
- 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:10.135
- You see, we have got to unself ourselves.
- 00:18:10.202 --> 00:18:14.339
- To unself ourselves. we are a selfie generation.
- 00:18:14.406 --> 00:18:18.043
- We are a selfie generation. that's why we take
- 00:18:18.110 --> 00:18:18.810
- That's why we take our cellphones,
- 00:18:18.877 --> 00:18:20.913
- Our cellphones, and we'll hold it up,
- 00:18:20.979 --> 00:18:21.914
- And we'll hold it up, and some people post 400
- 00:18:21.980 --> 00:18:24.349
- And some people post 400 pictures of themselves a day.
- 00:18:24.416 --> 00:18:25.851
- [laughter]
- 00:18:26.518 --> 00:18:28.620
- It's called a selfie.
- 00:18:29.021 --> 00:18:31.190
- It's called a selfie. and the spirit of the selfie
- 00:18:31.256 --> 00:18:33.025
- And the spirit of the selfie has got in the church
- 00:18:33.091 --> 00:18:35.594
- Has got in the church and all we think
- 00:18:35.661 --> 00:18:36.395
- And all we think about is ourselves.
- 00:18:36.461 --> 00:18:39.398
- About is ourselves. but when you lift up
- 00:18:39.464 --> 00:18:40.165
- But when you lift up your head and god
- 00:18:40.232 --> 00:18:42.000
- Your head and god begins to rebuild your altar,
- 00:18:42.067 --> 00:18:44.970
- Begins to rebuild your altar, it will make you begin
- 00:18:45.037 --> 00:18:46.205
- It will make you begin to focus on other people
- 00:18:46.271 --> 00:18:48.740
- To focus on other people not just yourself.
- 00:18:48.807 --> 00:18:50.842
- Not just yourself. but you start saying,
- 00:18:50.909 --> 00:18:52.110
- But you start saying, "well, if i'm walking
- 00:18:52.177 --> 00:18:53.111
- "well, if i'm walking through this,
- 00:18:53.178 --> 00:18:53.879
- Through this, i'm walking through it
- 00:18:53.946 --> 00:18:55.180
- I'm walking through it because god's gon'
- 00:18:55.247 --> 00:18:55.981
- Because god's gon' get glory out of it
- 00:18:56.048 --> 00:18:57.649
- Get glory out of it and that means i'm gonna
- 00:18:57.716 --> 00:18:59.985
- And that means i'm gonna be healed by helping
- 00:19:00.052 --> 00:19:01.787
- Be healed by helping somebody else
- 00:19:01.853 --> 00:19:02.988
- Somebody else and building somebody else up,
- 00:19:03.055 --> 00:19:07.025
- And building somebody else up, because i've been there,
- 00:19:07.092 --> 00:19:08.961
- Because i've been there, and i know what they're facing."
