  • 00:00:11.194 --> 00:00:19.269
  • Sarah jakes roberts: genesis 3 is when we first see that the
  • 00:00:19.269 --> 00:00:22.739
  • Blood covers, but the cross is where we see reconciliation
  • 00:00:22.739 --> 00:00:32.682
  • Because god at the end of the day just wants to be with you.
  • 00:00:32.682 --> 00:00:38.922
  • "by any means necessary, i just want to be with you."
  • 00:00:38.922 --> 00:00:43.126
  • So when we see isaiah 53 and 5 where it says, "but he was
  • 00:00:43.126 --> 00:00:48.998
  • Wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our
  • 00:00:48.998 --> 00:00:55.438
  • Iniquities, the chastisement for our peace was upon him," we see
  • 00:00:55.438 --> 00:01:01.177
  • An exchange; that the blood is having an exchange with our
  • 00:01:01.177 --> 00:01:07.917
  • Iniquities, the blood is having an exchange with
  • 00:01:07.917 --> 00:01:12.856
  • Our transgressions.
  • 00:01:12.856 --> 00:01:15.692
  • What i love so much about who god is and his wisdom in
  • 00:01:15.692 --> 00:01:21.764
  • Allowing us to have a savior is that he recognizes that as we go
  • 00:01:21.764 --> 00:01:26.569
  • Along this journey that there are going to be other things
  • 00:01:26.569 --> 00:01:28.838
  • That try to have a say over who we are, but by sending his son
  • 00:01:28.838 --> 00:01:34.577
  • To get on the cross he tells us that at the end of the day the
  • 00:01:34.577 --> 00:01:38.148
  • Blood is going to have the final say.
  • 00:01:38.148 --> 00:01:42.552
  • Our role and job as believers is to trust that even when all hell
  • 00:01:42.552 --> 00:01:48.057
  • Is breaking out that the blood is going to have the final say.
  • 00:01:48.057 --> 00:01:53.196
  • I'm going to say that again for people on this side because i
  • 00:01:53.196 --> 00:01:56.232
  • Want you to know i don't know what you're facing right now, i
  • 00:01:56.232 --> 00:01:59.068
  • Don't know how much hell is breaking loose in your life, i
  • 00:01:59.068 --> 00:02:01.871
  • Don't know how much growth you need to accomplish or how much
  • 00:02:01.871 --> 00:02:04.707
  • Reconciliation you need in your heart, but i want you to know
  • 00:02:04.707 --> 00:02:08.011
  • That the blood is going to have the final say.
  • 00:02:08.011 --> 00:02:11.147
  • When i received jesus as my savior, i made a declaration to
  • 00:02:11.147 --> 00:02:15.318
  • My circumstance that when it's all said and done the blood is
  • 00:02:15.318 --> 00:02:18.821
  • Going to have the final say.
  • 00:02:18.821 --> 00:02:20.390
  • That's why the doctor can say whatever they want to say
  • 00:02:20.390 --> 00:02:23.193
  • Because i know that the blood is going to have the final say.
  • 00:02:23.193 --> 00:02:26.329
  • That's why the teachers can say whatever they want to say
  • 00:02:26.329 --> 00:02:29.165
  • Because i know the blood ain't finished talking yet.
  • 00:02:29.165 --> 00:02:31.801
  • When the blood is finished talking, then i'll
  • 00:02:31.801 --> 00:02:34.237
  • Finish talking.
  • 00:02:34.237 --> 00:02:35.572
  • But all you saying right now was bumping your gums because i
  • 00:02:35.572 --> 00:02:38.474
  • Recognize that my god's not finished showing up.
  • 00:02:38.474 --> 00:02:41.177
  • The blood is going to have the final say over this marriage.
  • 00:02:41.177 --> 00:02:44.681
  • The blood is going to have the final say over this ministry.
  • 00:02:44.681 --> 00:02:48.051
  • The blood is going to have the final say over everything
  • 00:02:48.051 --> 00:02:51.821
  • You touch.
  • 00:02:51.821 --> 00:02:53.156
  • I know you're in the midst of the thickness right now, i know
  • 00:02:53.156 --> 00:02:55.391
  • You're ready to give up right now, but i want you to know that
  • 00:02:55.391 --> 00:02:58.328
  • You can't give up until the blood is finished speaking.
  • 00:02:58.328 --> 00:03:03.299
  • When jesus gets on the cross, he knows that sin has an assignment
  • 00:03:03.299 --> 00:03:16.746
  • To kill, steal, destroy, and separate you even right now.
  • 00:03:13.243 --> 00:03:21.117
  • That's why we can't play with sin because sin is on an
  • 00:03:21.117 --> 00:03:25.288
  • Assignment, and it starts off subtly and then all of a sudden
  • 00:03:25.288 --> 00:03:31.594
  • You're someone you never thought you would be because it starts
  • 00:03:31.594 --> 00:03:34.264
  • Off so subtly that it deceives you.
  • 00:03:34.264 --> 00:03:36.966
  • It seduces your mind and leads you astray.
  • 00:03:36.966 --> 00:03:40.003
  • Sin is on an assignment.
  • 00:03:40.003 --> 00:03:41.804
  • It's not just one night.
  • 00:03:41.804 --> 00:03:43.273
  • It's not just one lie.
  • 00:03:43.273 --> 00:03:44.841
  • It is the beginning of what will be your destruction because sin
  • 00:03:44.841 --> 00:03:48.845
  • Is on an assignment.
  • 00:03:48.845 --> 00:03:50.413
  • But jesus gets on the cross because the blood is on
  • 00:03:50.413 --> 00:03:55.585
  • Assignment, too.
  • 00:03:55.585 --> 00:04:01.491
  • The blood is on assignment, too.
  • 00:04:01.491 --> 00:04:04.227
  • I said the blood is on assignment, too.
  • 00:04:04.227 --> 00:04:07.230
  • I said the blood is on assignment, too.
  • 00:04:07.230 --> 00:04:10.099
  • I know you see how the enemy is showing up in your life, but i
  • 00:04:10.099 --> 00:04:13.703
  • Came here to let you know that the blood is on assignment too.
  • 00:04:13.703 --> 00:04:17.774
  • The blood's not finished, but it costs something
  • 00:04:17.774 --> 00:04:27.817
  • To get on the cross.
  • 00:04:30.086 --> 00:04:35.325
  • I grew up in church.
  • 00:04:35.325 --> 00:04:38.261
  • I spent most of my life just looking at the kingship of who
  • 00:04:38.261 --> 00:04:41.831
  • Jesus is; his divinity, his power.
  • 00:04:41.831 --> 00:04:47.904
  • But it costs the human side of jesus to get on a cross and be
  • 00:04:47.904 --> 00:04:56.846
  • Wounded for something he didn't do, to say, "put the sins of the
  • 00:04:56.846 --> 00:05:05.755
  • World in this holy body.
  • 00:05:05.755 --> 00:05:10.593
  • I'll pay the price so you don't have to.
  • 00:05:10.593 --> 00:05:17.066
  • I'll give him another chance because i am so in love with who
  • 00:05:17.066 --> 00:05:20.136
  • You could be that i don't care who you have been."
  • 00:05:20.136 --> 00:05:29.212
  • "how could you not give up on me?"
  • 00:05:29.212 --> 00:05:32.148
  • We're not talking about someone who just saw what was happening
  • 00:05:32.148 --> 00:05:35.685
  • In that present moment, we're talking about someone who could
  • 00:05:35.685 --> 00:05:38.488
  • See into the future and understand that that blood
  • 00:05:38.488 --> 00:05:41.324
  • Wasn't just covering who came before but the blood is going to
  • 00:05:41.324 --> 00:05:44.727
  • Go and cover who is yet to come.
  • 00:05:44.727 --> 00:05:51.033
  • We often talk about when he's on the cross wounded, bleeding
  • 00:05:51.033 --> 00:05:58.741
  • For us.
  • 00:05:58.741 --> 00:06:01.744
  • He says, "it is finished."
  • 00:06:01.744 --> 00:06:07.550
  • What's finished?
  • 00:06:07.550 --> 00:06:11.721
  • Sin's reign.
  • 00:06:11.721 --> 00:06:14.223
  • Death's reign.
  • 00:06:14.223 --> 00:06:17.026
  • That shame, that pain, that abuse, that depression
  • 00:06:17.026 --> 00:06:21.164
  • Is finished.
  • 00:06:21.164 --> 00:06:23.299
  • It's finished.
  • 00:06:23.299 --> 00:06:24.667
  • It took everything he had, but it's finished.
  • 00:06:24.667 --> 00:06:28.838
  • And i think we do this sacrifice a great disservice when we live
  • 00:06:28.838 --> 00:06:33.676
  • Like it's not finished.
  • 00:06:33.676 --> 00:06:42.084
  • I don't know what you're up against, i don't know what feels
  • 00:06:42.084 --> 00:06:46.389
  • Like it's still open in your world, but i want you to know
  • 00:06:46.389 --> 00:06:50.893
  • That heaven has a perspective and that is that it is finished.
  • 00:06:50.893 --> 00:06:58.000
  • That sin, that issue, that struggle, that pain, that
  • 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:02.605
  • Memory, it's finished.
  • 00:07:02.605 --> 00:07:07.810
  • Thank god for jesus that this is not an open case 'cause when
  • 00:07:07.810 --> 00:07:16.786
  • It's all said and done the blood had the final say over my life.
  • 00:07:16.786 --> 00:07:21.390
  • And if it had the final say over my life back then, it can have
  • 00:07:21.390 --> 00:07:24.694
  • The final say over my life right now.
  • 00:07:24.694 --> 00:07:29.799
  • The crucifixion is the moment where everything that limited
  • 00:07:29.799 --> 00:07:34.270
  • Us, that bound us came to an end, but what an expensive
  • 00:07:34.270 --> 00:07:40.676
  • Finish it was.
  • 00:07:40.676 --> 00:07:44.113
  • For him to end it for us, man, he had to take on something
  • 00:07:44.113 --> 00:07:48.784
  • That didn't belong to him.
  • 00:07:48.784 --> 00:07:52.121
  • [congregation applauding]
  • 00:07:52.121 --> 00:08:04.200
  • Touré roberts: one of the things that amaze me about jesus was
  • 00:08:08.404 --> 00:08:17.647
  • How sold out he was.
  • 00:08:17.647 --> 00:08:21.984
  • He was sold out.
  • 00:08:21.984 --> 00:08:25.288
  • Holy week for me is an opportunity to stare at jesus
  • 00:08:25.288 --> 00:08:31.494
  • Afresh because there's something in the life and the ministry of
  • 00:08:31.494 --> 00:08:39.902
  • Jesus that is designed to be a mirror to me, and one of the
  • 00:08:39.902 --> 00:08:46.742
  • Things that stands out to me about jesus was his mentality,
  • 00:08:46.742 --> 00:08:55.551
  • His mentality.
  • 00:08:55.551 --> 00:08:56.886
  • He was radically sold out.
  • 00:08:56.886 --> 00:08:58.621
  • I mean, like sold out sold out.
  • 00:08:58.621 --> 00:09:03.259
  • You understand what i'm saying?
  • 00:09:03.259 --> 00:09:04.627
  • I mean, like he was surrendered, very, very deeply submitted
  • 00:09:04.627 --> 00:09:14.370
  • And surrendered.
  • 00:09:14.370 --> 00:09:15.738
  • In fact, paul says, since we talking about mentality, if you
  • 00:09:15.738 --> 00:09:19.375
  • Want to get this right, in philippians 2 he says, "let this
  • 00:09:19.375 --> 00:09:23.212
  • Mind be in you, which was also in christ jesus."
  • 00:09:23.212 --> 00:09:30.786
  • And so i learned something about surrender.
  • 00:09:30.786 --> 00:09:34.991
  • Surrender is not the same as obedience.
  • 00:09:34.991 --> 00:09:40.296
  • I thought--until i began to stare at jesus i thought that
  • 00:09:40.296 --> 00:09:44.467
  • Surrender and obedience are the same thing, but they are not.
  • 00:09:44.467 --> 00:09:51.741
  • Here's the difference.
  • 00:09:51.741 --> 00:09:53.376
  • Obedience is to obey an instruction.
  • 00:09:53.376 --> 00:10:00.416
  • So if you obey an instruction, you were obedient in
  • 00:10:00.416 --> 00:10:04.520
  • That moment.
  • 00:10:04.520 --> 00:10:05.855
  • Surrender however, watch this, this is important, is to
  • 00:10:05.855 --> 00:10:09.091
  • Relinquish your right to control your life and circumstances and
  • 00:10:09.091 --> 00:10:16.666
  • To place that governance under the authority of god no matter
  • 00:10:16.666 --> 00:10:21.537
  • The request.
  • 00:10:21.537 --> 00:10:24.940
  • You see the difference?
  • 00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:27.309
  • Jesus is a radical surrender even on the cross.
  • 00:10:27.309 --> 00:10:35.451
  • It's hard for me to believe that all that jesus went through, all
  • 00:10:35.451 --> 00:10:42.658
  • Of the surrendering that he did, all of the submitting that he
  • 00:10:42.658 --> 00:10:46.896
  • Did, all of the obedience that he did even up to calvary and
  • 00:10:46.896 --> 00:10:56.405
  • Dying on calvary, and the truth is--and you have to stare
  • 00:10:56.405 --> 00:11:00.476
  • Closely to see this.
  • 00:11:00.476 --> 00:11:02.211
  • The truth is even on calvary he still wasn't
  • 00:11:02.211 --> 00:11:06.682
  • Finished surrendering.
  • 00:11:06.682 --> 00:11:09.685
  • Oh, you not ready.
  • 00:11:09.685 --> 00:11:11.053
  • So what was finished?
  • 00:11:11.053 --> 00:11:12.421
  • What was finished was, watch this, his work on the cross, the
  • 00:11:12.421 --> 00:11:17.093
  • Work that needed to be carried out in his body.
  • 00:11:17.093 --> 00:11:22.264
  • The work of the cross was finished, but he wasn't.
  • 00:11:22.264 --> 00:11:28.471
  • Because my assignment was not simply--the prophecy over my
  • 00:11:28.471 --> 00:11:33.042
  • Life was not simply isaiah 53.
  • 00:11:33.042 --> 00:11:38.247
  • There was also another promise over my life that's found in
  • 00:11:38.247 --> 00:11:43.252
  • Psalms 16 and 10, and that promise says--prophecy says,
  • 00:11:43.252 --> 00:11:48.858
  • "for you will un--you--for you will not leave my soul in
  • 00:11:48.858 --> 00:11:52.862
  • Sheol--" why did he go to sheol?
  • 00:11:52.862 --> 00:11:55.598
  • He had some keys to claim.
  • 00:11:55.598 --> 00:12:00.169
  • There were some keys that belonged to him.
  • 00:12:00.169 --> 00:12:03.606
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:12:03.606 --> 00:12:05.074
  • The spirit of god in this place.
  • 00:12:05.074 --> 00:12:07.943
  • See, he was giving out keys.
  • 00:12:07.943 --> 00:12:09.812
  • When he did ministry, he told peter, you know, "i give you the
  • 00:12:09.812 --> 00:12:12.748
  • Keys to the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth
  • 00:12:12.748 --> 00:12:15.718
  • Shall be bound in heaven."
  • 00:12:15.718 --> 00:12:17.052
  • He had those keys to give.
  • 00:12:17.052 --> 00:12:18.420
  • The keys that he did not yet have the keys to give were the
  • 00:12:18.420 --> 00:12:21.123
  • Keys to hell and death.
  • 00:12:21.123 --> 00:12:23.292
  • Bishop jakes: as we prepare to worship the lord
  • 00:12:27.329 --> 00:12:29.331
  • In our giving, we are giving as gifted people,
  • 00:12:29.331 --> 00:12:35.171
  • Not desperate people, not nervous people,
  • 00:12:35.171 --> 00:12:37.740
  • Not worried people, but gifted people.
  • 00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:41.877
  • And i wanna challenge you that online,
  • 00:12:41.877 --> 00:12:43.879
  • God is gonna create a platform for your gift to sit in.
  • 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.250
