- ♪♪
- 00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:08.091
- ♪♪
- 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:16.933
- Hey, friends and family is pastor
- 00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:19.035
- Tim timberlake of celebration church
- 00:00:19.035 --> 00:00:21.004
- And we are in for an incredible time in the word of god today.
- 00:00:21.004 --> 00:00:24.774
- I am so excited about our text, and i truly believe
- 00:00:24.774 --> 00:00:27.577
- That it's going to change and transform you and usher you
- 00:00:27.577 --> 00:00:30.647
- From where you are to where god desires for you to be.
- 00:00:30.647 --> 00:00:33.683
- Let's go to the text.
- 00:00:33.683 --> 00:00:34.818
- As we've already begun this sermon in acts chapter four
- 00:00:34.818 --> 00:00:38.088
- Entitled you can't deny
- 00:00:38.621 --> 00:00:41.024
- The evidence.
- 00:00:41.024 --> 00:00:44.694
- The recurring theme we see unfold in
- 00:00:44.694 --> 00:00:48.431
- Almost every chapter thus far is that there are miracles.
- 00:00:48.431 --> 00:00:53.770
- There are signs, there are wonders
- 00:00:53.770 --> 00:00:55.872
- That are taking place with one group of people,
- 00:00:55.872 --> 00:01:00.009
- And at the same time, there is another group of people
- 00:01:00.009 --> 00:01:03.446
- That are hearing about these miracles, signs and wonders
- 00:01:03.446 --> 00:01:07.851
- And are threatened because they know that their control
- 00:01:07.851 --> 00:01:11.354
- Is no longer working over the people of jesus.
- 00:01:11.354 --> 00:01:15.658
- This other group of people is what scripture
- 00:01:15.658 --> 00:01:18.061
- Calls the sanhedrin council.
- 00:01:18.061 --> 00:01:21.197
- And this was the ruling council over priests,
- 00:01:21.197 --> 00:01:24.601
- Elders and scribes.
- 00:01:24.601 --> 00:01:26.369
- This was the highest court of the land,
- 00:01:26.369 --> 00:01:29.739
- Giving the most authority under roman law.
- 00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:34.144
- This was the same council that condemned jesus
- 00:01:34.144 --> 00:01:37.947
- Not long before this particular passage of scripture.
- 00:01:37.947 --> 00:01:42.585
- And so there's a great tension unfolding in the text
- 00:01:42.585 --> 00:01:46.055
- That we read.
- 00:01:46.055 --> 00:01:47.357
- And this tension
- 00:01:47.357 --> 00:01:48.491
- That's unfolding is that the apostles were now standing
- 00:01:48.491 --> 00:01:52.262
- Before the same power structure that crucified the lord,
- 00:01:52.262 --> 00:01:56.699
- And this crippled man that had been bound to a mat
- 00:01:56.699 --> 00:02:00.570
- In front of the gate, called beautiful for 40 years,
- 00:02:00.570 --> 00:02:04.407
- Is now standing beside them, not just healed, but made whole.
- 00:02:04.407 --> 00:02:09.012
- And so the sanhedrin council is now trying to silence
- 00:02:09.012 --> 00:02:13.283
- The testimony of what god has raised the volume of.
- 00:02:13.283 --> 00:02:16.986
- But how many of you know,
- 00:02:16.986 --> 00:02:18.288
- Whatever god ordains, the enemy cannot stop.
- 00:02:18.288 --> 00:02:22.559
- How many of you know whatever god calls
- 00:02:22.559 --> 00:02:25.195
- Culture in society cannot cancel?
- 00:02:25.195 --> 00:02:28.198
- How many of you understand that whatever god raises
- 00:02:28.198 --> 00:02:31.201
- The volume on the enemy cannot press mute?
- 00:02:31.201 --> 00:02:34.604
- And here this man is standing beside peter
- 00:02:34.604 --> 00:02:38.041
- And john as a living,
- 00:02:38.041 --> 00:02:39.576
- Walking, moving, breathing miracle that no one can deny.
- 00:02:39.576 --> 00:02:43.513
- And he is the evidence of the faithfulness of jesus christ.
- 00:02:43.513 --> 00:02:48.384
- And before we go any further, i wonder,
- 00:02:48.384 --> 00:02:50.787
- Is there anybody listening to me, whether in this room
- 00:02:50.787 --> 00:02:53.556
- Or watching online right now, that would throw in the chat
- 00:02:53.556 --> 00:02:56.593
- That you can testify
- 00:02:56.593 --> 00:02:58.228
- Of the faithfulness of jesus because you got the evidence.
- 00:02:58.228 --> 00:03:02.232
- You still got your right mind that there was a condition
- 00:03:02.232 --> 00:03:05.802
- That doctors told you could not be fixed
- 00:03:05.802 --> 00:03:07.670
- To healed,
- 00:03:07.670 --> 00:03:08.638
- And jesus healed you, that there were things
- 00:03:08.638 --> 00:03:10.406
- That you could not work out in your own power,
- 00:03:10.406 --> 00:03:12.675
- That jesus worked on in his power
- 00:03:12.675 --> 00:03:14.811
- Because all authority, power, and might rest in jesus.
- 00:03:14.811 --> 00:03:20.250
- So here, this man
- 00:03:20.683 --> 00:03:21.951
- Standing beside peter and john, who has been
- 00:03:21.951 --> 00:03:24.254
- For over 40 years now, standing on two feet,
- 00:03:24.254 --> 00:03:27.223
- Confirming that jesus healed him, testifying
- 00:03:27.223 --> 00:03:30.193
- That jesus is good,
- 00:03:30.193 --> 00:03:31.461
- And now displaying
- 00:03:31.461 --> 00:03:32.795
- The faithfulness of jesus in a crowd of witnesses.
- 00:03:32.795 --> 00:03:35.932
- And this crowd of witnesses is now praising and thanking god
- 00:03:35.932 --> 00:03:40.203
- Because they've seen too much and they've heard too much
- 00:03:40.203 --> 00:03:44.474
- To remain quiet.
- 00:03:44.474 --> 00:03:47.543
- You got evidence?
- 00:03:47.977 --> 00:03:49.512
- You got evidence.
- 00:03:49.512 --> 00:03:50.446
- See, he's been good to you.
- 00:03:50.446 --> 00:03:52.749
- He's been great to you.
- 00:03:52.749 --> 00:03:55.818
- And scripture
- 00:03:55.818 --> 00:03:56.986
- Says if he is great, then he is greatly to be praised.
- 00:03:56.986 --> 00:04:01.424
- You can't say that god is great
- 00:04:01.424 --> 00:04:03.293
- And not give him a great praise, because your praise is
- 00:04:03.293 --> 00:04:06.496
- A reflection of how you view god.
- 00:04:06.496 --> 00:04:10.500
- Your worship is a reflection of how you view god.
- 00:04:10.500 --> 00:04:13.736
- What is worship?
- 00:04:13.736 --> 00:04:14.904
- Worship is when god is revealed to you in a certain way,
- 00:04:14.904 --> 00:04:19.175
- And you respond to the level of revelation
- 00:04:19.175 --> 00:04:21.711
- That god has revealed himself.
- 00:04:21.711 --> 00:04:23.212
- So if god has not revealed himself to you
- 00:04:23.212 --> 00:04:25.415
- In a very special way,
- 00:04:25.415 --> 00:04:26.849
- You can't give him a very special worship.
- 00:04:26.849 --> 00:04:29.052
- But when you know who god is
- 00:04:29.052 --> 00:04:30.787
- And you know what god saved you from,
- 00:04:30.787 --> 00:04:32.755
- And you know he healed your mind,
- 00:04:32.755 --> 00:04:34.324
- You know he set you free.
- 00:04:34.324 --> 00:04:35.792
- You know he pulled you out of the muck in the mire.
- 00:04:35.792 --> 00:04:38.127
- You know, he changed your children
- 00:04:38.127 --> 00:04:39.829
- And your grandchildren's life.
- 00:04:39.829 --> 00:04:41.431
- You know,
- 00:04:41.431 --> 00:04:42.365
- He opened up the gates of victory for you
- 00:04:42.365 --> 00:04:44.734
- When the devil was trying to pull you back into sin.
- 00:04:44.734 --> 00:04:47.570
- Then you can lift your hands and say, god, you are good
- 00:04:47.570 --> 00:04:51.307
- And your mercy endureth forever.
- 00:04:51.307 --> 00:04:57.113
- You got evidence. you
- 00:04:57.613 --> 00:05:00.650
- Got evidence.
- 00:05:00.650 --> 00:05:03.953
- You got evidence
- 00:05:03.953 --> 00:05:06.322
- That he
- 00:05:06.322 --> 00:05:08.424
- Is faithful.
- 00:05:08.424 --> 00:05:10.460
- And so point number one
- 00:05:10.460 --> 00:05:13.096
- Is this.
- 00:05:13.096 --> 00:05:15.765
- When god stands you up,
- 00:05:15.765 --> 00:05:19.035
- No system can shut you down.
- 00:05:19.035 --> 00:05:23.606
- Look at what the text says
- 00:05:24.173 --> 00:05:26.843
- Standing beside peter
- 00:05:26.843 --> 00:05:28.244
- And john was a healed man
- 00:05:28.244 --> 00:05:31.881
- Who was once crippled for over 40 years.
- 00:05:31.881 --> 00:05:35.418
- The power of jesus stood him up.
- 00:05:36.052 --> 00:05:40.323
- So the healed man beside peter
- 00:05:40.923 --> 00:05:43.226
- And john was a sermon without legs.
- 00:05:43.226 --> 00:05:48.431
- They gained legs
- 00:05:48.831 --> 00:05:50.566
- Because jesus healed him.
- 00:05:50.566 --> 00:05:53.603
- So what you are one stuck in.
- 00:05:53.603 --> 00:05:55.605
- God will raise you out of
- 00:05:55.605 --> 00:05:58.941
- What once held you hostage.
- 00:05:58.941 --> 00:06:00.877
- God will use as a testimony
- 00:06:00.877 --> 00:06:04.013
- What the enemy tried to keep you confined to.
- 00:06:04.013 --> 00:06:06.849
- God will utilize as your greatest platform
- 00:06:06.849 --> 00:06:09.452
- For his glory and for his goodness.
- 00:06:09.452 --> 00:06:13.022
- Because miracles always dismantle arguments.
- 00:06:13.956 --> 00:06:21.330
- So a testimony is a megaphone
- 00:06:21.964 --> 00:06:24.667
- Hell can't mute.
- 00:06:24.667 --> 00:06:27.637
- And sometimes you're trying
- 00:06:27.637 --> 00:06:29.272
- To argue with people to tell them how good god is.
- 00:06:29.272 --> 00:06:32.608
- And no, no, you need to believe that
- 00:06:32.608 --> 00:06:34.076
- When all you got to do is stand in the testimony
- 00:06:34.076 --> 00:06:36.746
- That god has already worked on the inside of you.
- 00:06:36.746 --> 00:06:44.754
- They tried to silence the preachers,
- 00:06:45.555 --> 00:06:48.324
- But the miracle kept preaching.
- 00:06:48.324 --> 00:06:52.395
- They could not deny
- 00:06:52.862 --> 00:06:54.664
- What jesus had done
- 00:06:54.664 --> 00:06:57.800
- Because the miracle was standing beside peter and john.
- 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:02.405
- What does this mean for you and me?
- 00:07:02.405 --> 00:07:04.941
- Jesus is preparing you to stand as a miracle
- 00:07:04.941 --> 00:07:09.679
- And the face of the enemy that the enemy cannot deny.
- 00:07:09.679 --> 00:07:16.586
- So you don't need a pulpit
- 00:07:17.153 --> 00:07:18.855
- When your life is already a sermon.
- 00:07:18.855 --> 00:07:23.459
- The same people who deny jesus
- 00:07:24.060 --> 00:07:26.929
- Had to stare at his power at work, through this man
- 00:07:26.929 --> 00:07:30.399
- That was crippled for over 40 years.
- 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.468
- Now healed, and they could not deny it.
- 00:07:32.468 --> 00:07:36.806
- So when i read this, i'm encouraged to know
- 00:07:37.673 --> 00:07:40.576
- Every time god raises me up,
- 00:07:40.576 --> 00:07:43.713
- He raises the volume of the testimony he has written in me
- 00:07:43.713 --> 00:07:47.750
- For the body of christ, culture and society.
- 00:07:47.750 --> 00:07:51.153
- Because god will not do anything that you can do.
- 00:07:51.153 --> 00:07:54.357
- He will only do the things that you cannot do,
- 00:07:54.357 --> 00:07:56.826
- So that he can get the credit and glory for it.
- 00:07:56.826 --> 00:08:01.364
- You have proof.
- 00:08:01.731 --> 00:08:05.902
- You got proof.
- 00:08:06.235 --> 00:08:08.404
- You may not have everything you want, but you got proof.
- 00:08:08.404 --> 00:08:12.608
- You may not have everything you need, but you got proof.
- 00:08:13.743 --> 00:08:17.280
- And as long as you got proof.
- 00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:18.548
- Nothing can shake your belief.
- 00:08:18.548 --> 00:08:20.216
- Yeah,
- 00:08:20.216 --> 00:08:21.651
- Because that's what the enemy is after he's.
- 00:08:21.651 --> 00:08:23.152
- Do you believe
- 00:08:23.152 --> 00:08:25.154
- He'll touch your car to get to your belief?
- 00:08:25.154 --> 00:08:27.590
- He'll touch your mind to get to your belief.
- 00:08:27.590 --> 00:08:29.725
- He'll touch your kids. to get to your belief.
- 00:08:29.725 --> 00:08:32.028
- He'll touch everything. you have to get to your belief.
- 00:08:32.028 --> 00:08:34.463
- If you have your mind made up that nothing will shake
- 00:08:34.463 --> 00:08:37.533
- My belief, my trust, my faith in jesus christ.
- 00:08:37.533 --> 00:08:40.703
- You can make your mind up come hell or high water for me.
- 00:08:40.703 --> 00:08:43.573
- In my house we will serve the lord.
- 00:08:43.573 --> 00:08:47.910
- I don't care what the weapons are.
- 00:08:47.910 --> 00:08:49.478
- I don't care who the enemy is.
- 00:08:49.478 --> 00:08:50.980
- I don't care how great the giant is.
- 00:08:50.980 --> 00:08:52.748
- I don't care how tall the mountain is.
- 00:08:52.748 --> 00:08:54.483
- I got proof he's delivered me.
- 00:08:54.483 --> 00:08:56.252
- Then i believe he'll deliver me now.
- 00:08:56.252 --> 00:08:58.487
- And i know he'll bring me over.
- 00:08:58.487 --> 00:08:59.889
- Whatever i'll face in my future.
- 00:08:59.889 --> 00:09:01.624
- Because i got proof of the faithfulness of god.
- 00:09:01.624 --> 00:09:05.294
- I have proof i have, i have proof if you if you like.
- 00:09:05.294 --> 00:09:08.631
- I don't have proof.
- 00:09:08.631 --> 00:09:09.632
- I can't think of proof.
- 00:09:09.632 --> 00:09:11.133
- I can't find proof.
- 00:09:11.133 --> 00:09:12.602
- I just want to turn your attention
- 00:09:12.602 --> 00:09:13.936
- To the person sitting beside you,
- 00:09:13.936 --> 00:09:15.538
- Because they are proof of the faithfulness of god.
- 00:09:15.538 --> 00:09:18.140
- So if you can't recall,
- 00:09:18.140 --> 00:09:19.575
- If you can't recall,
- 00:09:19.575 --> 00:09:20.810
- If you can't recall, if you can't think,
- 00:09:20.810 --> 00:09:22.979
- I want you to turn and look at the person beside you.
- 00:09:22.979 --> 00:09:25.414
- They have survived some things
- 00:09:25.414 --> 00:09:27.183
- They have been through,
- 00:09:27.183 --> 00:09:28.017
- Some things
- 00:09:28.017 --> 00:09:28.818
- They have overcome, some things
- 00:09:28.818 --> 00:09:30.319
- They have come out of some things
- 00:09:30.319 --> 00:09:31.854
- And they are proof of the faithfulness of jesus christ.
- 00:09:31.854 --> 00:09:36.892
- Look at what it says.
- 00:09:37.393 --> 00:09:38.995
- Look at what the text
- 00:09:38.294 --> 00:09:41.564
- Says.
- 00:09:41.564 --> 00:09:42.632
- But the man who was healed standing beside them.
- 00:09:42.632 --> 00:09:44.166
- Sometimes
- 00:09:44.166 --> 00:09:45.434
- We were looking too far ahead and we don't need to look ahead.
- 00:09:45.434 --> 00:09:48.738
- We need to look beside.
- 00:09:48.738 --> 00:09:53.776
- Standing
- 00:09:54.043 --> 00:09:55.478
- Beside them was a testimony
- 00:09:55.478 --> 00:09:58.180
- Sitting beside you right now as a testimony.
- 00:09:58.180 --> 00:10:01.417
- If you only knew.
- 00:10:01.417 --> 00:10:04.387
- What the person
- 00:10:04.387 --> 00:10:06.255
- Sitting beside you has been through.
- 00:10:06.255 --> 00:10:09.659
- To sit where they're sitting right now.
- 00:10:09.659 --> 00:10:12.561
- You would not only praise god for you,
- 00:10:12.561 --> 00:10:14.930
- You would praise god for them.
- 00:10:14.930 --> 00:10:20.636
- Don't not hearing me.
- 00:10:21.137 --> 00:10:23.105
- I said, if you only knew
- 00:10:23.105 --> 00:10:25.074
- What the person sitting beside you.
- 00:10:25.074 --> 00:10:28.010
- I know you may not know their name.
- 00:10:28.010 --> 00:10:29.879
- I know you may not know the story.
- 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:31.714
- I know you may not know the testimony.
- 00:10:31.714 --> 00:10:33.649
- But they're still standing.
- 00:10:33.649 --> 00:10:35.317
- You're still here.
- 00:10:35.317 --> 00:10:36.752
- You're still an overcomer.
- 00:10:36.752 --> 00:10:38.421
- You're still victorious.
- 00:10:38.421 --> 00:10:39.989
- You're still triumphant in jesus name.
- 00:10:39.989 --> 00:10:42.391
- Before second, can you thank god for giving you and the person
- 00:10:42.391 --> 00:10:46.762
- Beside you victory when it didn't make sense?
- 00:10:46.762 --> 00:10:53.502
- Yeah,
- 00:10:53.736 --> 00:10:55.371
- Yeah,
- 00:10:55.371 --> 00:10:57.540
- Yeah.
- 00:10:57.540 --> 00:10:58.874
- You got evidence that no one can deny.
- 00:10:58.874 --> 00:11:00.810
- You got evidence that no one can oppose.
- 00:11:00.810 --> 00:11:04.647
- You got evidence?
- 00:11:04.647 --> 00:11:08.751
- You got evidence.
- 00:11:09.151 --> 00:11:12.221
- Hey, family, as we take a break,
- 00:11:12.855 --> 00:11:14.423
- My prayer is that this broadcast is blessing you.
- 00:11:14.423 --> 00:11:17.760
- I pray this message as we journey
- 00:11:17.760 --> 00:11:19.462
- Through the book of acts,
- 00:11:19.462 --> 00:11:20.730
- Unlocks destiny on the inside of you.
- 00:11:20.730 --> 00:11:23.032
- Remove the scales from your eyes,
- 00:11:23.032 --> 00:11:25.034
- And it removes whatever earmuffs you may have on your ears
- 00:11:25.034 --> 00:11:28.037
- That are blocking you from hearing, god,
- 00:11:28.037 --> 00:11:30.206
- I want to provide
- 00:11:30.206 --> 00:11:31.240

- In this book, i talk about how we can unlock the power

- And hard things that we may be navigating in this life.

- And i believe that as we go on this journey of going towards
- 00:11:47.790 --> 00:11:51.694
- Better, there's some bumps that we have
- 00:11:51.694 --> 00:11:53.429
- To navigate, some mountains that we have to scale,
- 00:11:53.429 --> 00:11:55.765
- And some giants that we have to defeat.
- 00:11:55.765 --> 00:11:58.067
- I want to encourage you do whatever you can
- 00:11:58.067 --> 00:11:59.635

- 00:12:01.303 --> 00:12:04.073
- Let's go back into today's message.
- 00:12:04.073 --> 00:12:05.574
- As we continue to learn the word of god.
- 00:12:05.574 --> 00:12:09.645
- Point number two is this.
- 00:12:10.212 --> 00:12:16.385
- Threats
- 00:12:16.652 --> 00:12:18.854
- Of the tax you pay for truth.
- 00:12:18.854 --> 00:12:22.992
- Sanhedren counsel.
- 00:12:23.425 --> 00:12:24.560
- Threatened them.
- 00:12:24.560 --> 00:12:26.762
- Told them
- 00:12:26.762 --> 00:12:29.231
- Don't continue to preach
- 00:12:29.231 --> 00:12:30.432
- Or teach in the name of jesus.
- 00:12:30.432 --> 00:12:34.203
- Now, i want us to pay attention to this text
- 00:12:34.203 --> 00:12:37.239
- Because i believe
- 00:12:37.673 --> 00:12:39.675
- It speaks to what we are seeing in 2025.
- 00:12:39.675 --> 00:12:43.679
- Verse 17 says,
- 00:12:44.013 --> 00:12:46.148
- But in order that it may spread no further among the people,
- 00:12:46.148 --> 00:12:49.251
- Let us warn them to speak no more, to anyone
- 00:12:49.251 --> 00:12:52.221
- In this name.
- 00:12:52.221 --> 00:12:55.925
- So they called them and charged them
- 00:12:56.725 --> 00:12:59.562
- Not to speak or teach at all in the name
- 00:12:59.562 --> 00:13:03.933
- Of jesus.
- 00:13:04.233 --> 00:13:06.502
- Scripture doesn't say
- 00:13:06.502 --> 00:13:08.037
- That they charge them not to preach or teach.
- 00:13:08.037 --> 00:13:11.240
- Scripture says
- 00:13:11.574 --> 00:13:13.042
- They charge them not to preach and teach in the name
- 00:13:13.042 --> 00:13:16.078
- Of jesus.
- 00:13:16.378 --> 00:13:18.647
- And so you have many preachers and teachers
- 00:13:18.647 --> 00:13:22.284
- Who are not
- 00:13:22.618 --> 00:13:23.285
- Preaching the name of jesus.
- 00:13:23.285 --> 00:13:26.555
- You have?
- 00:13:26.856 --> 00:13:28.023
- Yeah, but many preachers and teachers
- 00:13:28.023 --> 00:13:30.159
- And prophets and evangelists and apostles
- 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.562
- And bishops who are preaching, but they're not preaching
- 00:13:33.562 --> 00:13:37.266
- In the name of jesus.
- 00:13:37.266 --> 00:13:40.569
- Scripture says, many will say.
- 00:13:41.170 --> 00:13:46.175
- Lord, lord.
- 00:13:46.508 --> 00:13:51.013
- Did we not?
- 00:13:51.347 --> 00:13:54.617
- Preach.
- 00:13:54.850 --> 00:13:56.619
- And jesus will say, depart from me.
- 00:13:56.619 --> 00:14:00.189
- I don't know you.
- 00:14:00.623 --> 00:14:04.293
- You got many people who are preaching
- 00:14:05.127 --> 00:14:07.162
- And teaching in a name that is not the name of jesus.
- 00:14:07.162 --> 00:14:12.034
- And so you could sit a lifetime
- 00:14:12.668 --> 00:14:14.203
- Under that teaching and not change.
- 00:14:14.203 --> 00:14:18.274
- As a matter of fact, they don't mind that you don't change
- 00:14:18.274 --> 00:14:21.710
- As long as you keep supporting their lifestyle.
- 00:14:21.710 --> 00:14:26.415
- Many will preach and teach, but not in the name of jesus.
- 00:14:27.583 --> 00:14:31.720
- And they don't want you to be transformed.
- 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:33.756
- Because when you get transformed, you
- 00:14:33.756 --> 00:14:35.391
- No longer have a need for the messages that scratch your ego
- 00:14:35.391 --> 00:14:39.461
- And your opinion.
- 00:14:39.461 --> 00:14:44.199
- We we want
- 00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:46.101
- Other people to lead us by the hand,
- 00:14:46.101 --> 00:14:49.271
- When in fact we should be putting our hands
- 00:14:49.271 --> 00:14:51.006
- In the hands of jesus.
- 00:14:51.006 --> 00:14:54.410
- Many will preach and teach
- 00:14:54.977 --> 00:14:57.279
- In their names and their ability and their pride
- 00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:01.483
- And their ambition and their ego.
- 00:15:01.483 --> 00:15:04.520
- But scripture says that when you preach
- 00:15:04.520 --> 00:15:08.958
- And teach and testify
- 00:15:08.958 --> 00:15:11.527
- In the name of jesus christ,
- 00:15:11.527 --> 00:15:15.965
- Things happen.
- 00:15:16.298 --> 00:15:19.435
- So when the enemy
- 00:15:19.868 --> 00:15:22.071
- Can't hide the evidence,
- 00:15:22.071 --> 00:15:24.840
- The enemy will try to silence
- 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.142
- Your testimony.
- 00:15:27.142 --> 00:15:30.379
- See, fear is the currency of fragile thrones.
- 00:15:31.347 --> 00:15:35.684
- What does that mean?
- 00:15:36.151 --> 00:15:37.987
- That means when someone is operating off of fear,
- 00:15:37.987 --> 00:15:42.558
- They'll try to hold hostage what god has freed.
- 00:15:42.558 --> 00:15:51.266
- The louder their threats,
- 00:15:51.834 --> 00:15:54.069
- The clearer their fear is.
- 00:15:54.069 --> 00:15:57.072
- So when control starts cracking, you need to remember
- 00:15:57.072 --> 00:15:59.675
- This, fears start shouting.
- 00:15:59.675 --> 00:16:02.411
- When the enemy starts to lose control in your life,
- 00:16:03.479 --> 00:16:06.682
- His voice will get louder and louder in your ear.
- 00:16:06.682 --> 00:16:11.053
- Don't get distracted by the volume
- 00:16:11.820 --> 00:16:13.722
- Of the voice of the enemy.
- 00:16:13.722 --> 00:16:15.491
- Just get louder than his voice.
- 00:16:15.491 --> 00:16:19.228
- Did you hear what i said?
- 00:16:19.795 --> 00:16:21.897
- Don't get distracted
- 00:16:21.897 --> 00:16:23.165
- By the volume of the voice of the enemy.
- 00:16:23.165 --> 00:16:25.868
- You just get louder than his voice.
- 00:16:25.868 --> 00:16:28.003
- How do you get louder than the voice of the enemy?
- 00:16:28.003 --> 00:16:31.540
- You elevate your praise and worship louder than his.
- 00:16:31.540 --> 00:16:40.315
- I wish i had time to unpack it, but i don't.
- 00:16:41.216 --> 00:16:44.219
- I don't got time.
- 00:16:44.219 --> 00:16:46.989
- Number three. number three.
- 00:16:46.989 --> 00:16:51.226
- Holy defiance
- 00:16:51.593 --> 00:16:53.695
- Is the sound of real faith.
- 00:16:53.695 --> 00:16:57.766
- They did not stop preaching and teaching in the name of jesus.
- 00:16:59.001 --> 00:17:01.503
- They were defiant. that is the sound of real faith.
- 00:17:01.503 --> 00:17:03.806
- What does that mean for us?
- 00:17:03.806 --> 00:17:04.807
- That means when the enemy told you to shut up,
- 00:17:04.807 --> 00:17:06.708
- You raise your praise high.
- 00:17:06.708 --> 00:17:08.644
- When the enemy tells you to be quiet,
- 00:17:08.644 --> 00:17:10.312
- You raise the volume on your worship.
- 00:17:10.312 --> 00:17:12.448
- When the enemy tells you it will never happen,
- 00:17:12.448 --> 00:17:14.383
- You need to start rejoicing because you know
- 00:17:14.383 --> 00:17:15.951
- The enemy cannot tell the truth,
- 00:17:15.951 --> 00:17:17.553
- Which means it is going to happen.
- 00:17:17.553 --> 00:17:19.955
- Whatever the enemy is telling you
- 00:17:19.955 --> 00:17:21.557
- And screaming at you and shouting at you right now,
- 00:17:21.557 --> 00:17:23.392
- You can thank jesus because the exact opposite
- 00:17:23.392 --> 00:17:25.894
- Is going to happen. how do we know this?
- 00:17:25.894 --> 00:17:28.297
- Because the bible calls him the father of lies.
- 00:17:28.297 --> 00:17:30.833
- So whatever he's shouting,
- 00:17:30.833 --> 00:17:32.501
- You can go ahead and raise the volume of your praise
- 00:17:32.501 --> 00:17:34.703
- And worship to know the exact opposite is going to happen.
- 00:17:34.703 --> 00:17:38.941
- Boldness in jesus isn't arrogance.
- 00:17:39.708 --> 00:17:43.145
- It's obedience that refuses to bow.
- 00:17:43.879 --> 00:17:46.815
- It's obedience that refuses to bend the knee to culture.
- 00:17:46.815 --> 00:17:49.451
- It's obedience that refuses to bend the knee
- 00:17:49.451 --> 00:17:51.587
- To the idols that society told you.
- 00:17:51.587 --> 00:17:53.455
- You should bend the knee to its refusal
- 00:17:53.455 --> 00:17:55.390
- To give anyone or anything more praise that you do.
- 00:17:55.390 --> 00:17:58.060
- Jesus christ.
- 00:17:58.060 --> 00:18:01.196
- It's the refusal.
- 00:18:01.630 --> 00:18:04.733
- And the reality is,
- 00:18:04.733 --> 00:18:07.102
- Is to obey god is to declare war
- 00:18:07.102 --> 00:18:10.506
- On every idol, demanding your silence.
- 00:18:10.506 --> 00:18:15.010
- So my question for us right now
- 00:18:15.644 --> 00:18:19.014
- Is what is keeping you silent?
- 00:18:19.014 --> 00:18:25.120
- What is keeping you mute?
- 00:18:25.687 --> 00:18:29.625
- What is holding
- 00:18:29.992 --> 00:18:31.093
- Your praise and worship hostage?
- 00:18:31.093 --> 00:18:34.730
- Because anything
- 00:18:35.130 --> 00:18:37.366
- That has more power
- 00:18:37.366 --> 00:18:39.735
- Over my response to jesus
- 00:18:39.735 --> 00:18:42.638
- Than the power found in jesus has become
- 00:18:42.638 --> 00:18:46.141
- My god.
- 00:18:46.141 --> 00:18:51.813
- The reality is,
- 00:18:52.181 --> 00:18:54.683
- Is that if your obedience
- 00:18:54.683 --> 00:18:57.052
- Never cost you a sacrifice,
- 00:18:57.052 --> 00:18:59.721
- Your allegiance means nothing.
- 00:18:59.721 --> 00:19:04.026
- When is the last time you sacrifice praise?
- 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:08.297
- When is the last time you sacrifice worship?
- 00:19:08.297 --> 00:19:10.699
- When is the last time you didn't feel like it,
- 00:19:10.699 --> 00:19:12.034
- But you did it anyway because you knew your feelings
- 00:19:12.034 --> 00:19:14.503
- Did not matter in the grand scheme of things.
- 00:19:14.503 --> 00:19:16.305
- When is the last time you told your feelings to shut up?
- 00:19:16.305 --> 00:19:19.041
- God is in control.
- 00:19:19.041 --> 00:19:20.375
- He is great and he is greatly to be praised.
- 00:19:20.375 --> 00:19:24.146
- Hold on one second,
- 00:19:24.613 --> 00:19:26.448
- Because i want to ask you this.
- 00:19:26.448 --> 00:19:29.117
- When is the last time your praise offended your own
- 00:19:29.117 --> 00:19:31.954
- Flesh?
- 00:19:31.954 --> 00:19:40.862
- If your obedience cost you nothing,
- 00:19:41.630 --> 00:19:43.298
- Your allegiance means absolutely nothing.
- 00:19:43.298 --> 00:19:47.936
- Point number four is this.
- 00:19:48.503 --> 00:19:54.376
- What you've seen
- 00:19:54.743 --> 00:19:57.679
- And what you've heard
- 00:19:57.679 --> 00:19:59.948
- Demands to be spoken.
- 00:19:59.948 --> 00:20:04.119
- Silence is not an option.
- 00:20:04.686 --> 00:20:08.223
- When eternity is at stake.
- 00:20:08.223 --> 00:20:15.163
- I love the fact that this passage doesn't say
- 00:20:16.098 --> 00:20:18.634
- The man was healed in the name of jesus.
- 00:20:18.634 --> 00:20:21.970
- He turned and he ran home to hide.
- 00:20:21.970 --> 00:20:26.642
- Scripture says
- 00:20:26.975 --> 00:20:28.443
- That jesus healed his legs
- 00:20:28.443 --> 00:20:31.747
- And he stood
- 00:20:31.747 --> 00:20:34.182
- As a living testimony
- 00:20:34.182 --> 00:20:37.252
- And all that saw praised
- 00:20:37.252 --> 00:20:41.189
- And worshiped god,
- 00:20:41.623 --> 00:20:43.892
- Because there was evidence
- 00:20:43.892 --> 00:20:46.061
- Standing in front of them.
- 00:20:46.061 --> 00:20:48.664
- Suppression of the gospel is impossible
- 00:20:48.664 --> 00:20:52.367
- When possession by the gospel is undeniable.
- 00:20:52.367 --> 00:20:58.473
- I need you to catch that.
- 00:20:59.041 --> 00:21:00.042
- Suppression of the gospel isn't possible
- 00:21:00.042 --> 00:21:02.911
- When possession by the gospel is undeniable.
- 00:21:02.911 --> 00:21:06.615
- Hear me.
- 00:21:06.615 --> 00:21:07.316
- I know you got the word of god,
- 00:21:07.316 --> 00:21:08.884
- But does the word of god have you?
- 00:21:08.884 --> 00:21:12.321
- I know you hold the word of god, but it's the word of god
- 00:21:12.321 --> 00:21:14.923
- Holding you when the word of god has you.
- 00:21:14.923 --> 00:21:18.560
- It is undeniable.
- 00:21:18.560 --> 00:21:20.062
- There is a praise and worship
- 00:21:20.062 --> 00:21:21.897
- That is trapped on the inside of you
- 00:21:21.897 --> 00:21:23.932
- That has to be spoken. it has to be released.
- 00:21:23.932 --> 00:21:26.768
- It has to be spoken.
- 00:21:26.768 --> 00:21:29.371
- And when god does something that you cannot do,
- 00:21:29.371 --> 00:21:32.341
- You have to return that back into praise
- 00:21:32.341 --> 00:21:34.843
- And worship and sacrifice so that you don't think that you
- 00:21:34.843 --> 00:21:38.580
- Are your own god.
- 00:21:38.580 --> 00:21:42.951
- Oh man, if you've truly
- 00:21:43.452 --> 00:21:46.021
- And i mean truly encountered christ, your mouth
- 00:21:46.021 --> 00:21:49.191
- Can't stay shut and your life can't stay the same.
- 00:21:49.191 --> 00:21:54.429
- So there's some of you right now.
- 00:21:55.130 --> 00:21:56.331
- You're under the gun. you're under pressure.
- 00:21:56.331 --> 00:21:57.833
- You're filling the opposition.
- 00:21:57.833 --> 00:21:59.000
- You're filling life. close in on you.
- 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:00.802
- You feel that the tension
- 00:22:00.802 --> 00:22:03.038
- Of what you're hearing and what you're seeing.
- 00:22:03.038 --> 00:22:05.140
- And i'm telling you, regardless of what you see,
- 00:22:05.140 --> 00:22:07.709
- You have to see what god has already said.
- 00:22:07.709 --> 00:22:13.515
- You repeat what god says.
- 00:22:14.082 --> 00:22:16.852
- You'll never be wrong.
- 00:22:16.852 --> 00:22:19.554
- He'll lead you.
- 00:22:19.554 --> 00:22:21.723
- He'll lift you,
- 00:22:21.723 --> 00:22:23.592
- He'll raise you.
- 00:22:23.592 --> 00:22:25.360
- He'll remind you that regardless of what's in front of you,
- 00:22:25.360 --> 00:22:28.797
- There's a trail of evidence behind you.
- 00:22:28.797 --> 00:22:35.904
- The addiction that was supposed to kill
- 00:22:36.772 --> 00:22:38.273
- You did not kill you. that's evidence.
- 00:22:38.273 --> 00:22:41.576
- Of the faithfulness of jesus.
- 00:22:42.210 --> 00:22:46.047
- Some of you tried to take your own life, but failed.
- 00:22:47.082 --> 00:22:49.251
- That's evidence
- 00:22:49.251 --> 00:22:52.254
- Of the faithfulness of god.
- 00:22:52.254 --> 00:22:58.026
- You got evidence that no one can deny.
- 00:22:58.860 --> 00:23:02.164
- No one can suppress.
- 00:23:02.631 --> 00:23:05.801
- So as fear
- 00:23:06.101 --> 00:23:08.403
- Says, be quiet.
- 00:23:08.403 --> 00:23:11.740
- Fire on the inside of you says,
- 00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:13.475
- I can't help it.
- 00:23:13.475 --> 00:23:17.546
- I can't help it.
- 00:23:17.946 --> 00:23:20.515
- I have to return
- 00:23:20.515 --> 00:23:22.551
- To jesus.
- 00:23:22.551 --> 00:23:23.118
- What he's done for me.
- 00:23:23.118 --> 00:23:25.854
- He's loosed me.
- 00:23:25.854 --> 00:23:28.023
- He's freed me. he's healed me.
- 00:23:28.023 --> 00:23:30.459
- He's redeeming me.
- 00:23:30.459 --> 00:23:32.427
- He's making me new again.
- 00:23:32.427 --> 00:23:36.398
- It is him.
- 00:23:36.698 --> 00:23:38.333
- It is only him.
- 00:23:38.333 --> 00:23:39.968
- It would always be him.
- 00:23:39.968 --> 00:23:48.243
- So if the enemy can
- 00:23:48.710 --> 00:23:49.744
- Silence your witness.
- 00:23:49.744 --> 00:23:53.114
- He will suffocate your worship.
- 00:23:53.114 --> 00:23:58.920
- And i'll be honest with you.
- 00:23:59.521 --> 00:24:01.790
- The right amount of pain will try to silence you.
- 00:24:01.790 --> 00:24:05.861
- The right amount of pain
- 00:24:06.394 --> 00:24:07.963
- Will steal your voice.
- 00:24:08.430 --> 00:24:11.333
- The right amount of pain
- 00:24:11.333 --> 00:24:13.235
- Will try to suppress you.
- 00:24:13.235 --> 00:24:15.871
- The right amount of failure will try to remind you
- 00:24:15.871 --> 00:24:19.307
- That jesus is not changed to when in fact,
- 00:24:19.307 --> 00:24:21.443
- Jesus has changed you.
- 00:24:21.443 --> 00:24:24.546
- Don't allow the enemy
- 00:24:24.546 --> 00:24:26.581
- To silence your witness.
- 00:24:26.581 --> 00:24:29.484
- Don't allow the enemy to suppress your worship.
- 00:24:29.484 --> 00:24:32.721
- Scripture says that all that saw
- 00:24:32.721 --> 00:24:36.091
- Praised and worshiped
- 00:24:36.591 --> 00:24:39.694
- Jesus because they experienced evidence
- 00:24:39.694 --> 00:24:43.932
- That no one could deny.
- 00:24:44.432 --> 00:24:47.602
- Silence is not an option.
- 00:24:48.169 --> 00:24:52.307
- So if god has been faithful in any area of your life,
- 00:24:52.307 --> 00:24:57.245
- You need to give him praise.
- 00:24:57.812 --> 00:25:02.384
- Not just tomorrow,
- 00:25:02.817 --> 00:25:05.921
- Well we are out of time for today.
- 00:25:06.688 --> 00:25:07.989
- But we're not out of word.
- 00:25:07.989 --> 00:25:09.491
- So continue to come right back here
- 00:25:09.491 --> 00:25:11.259
- Next week
- 00:25:11.259 --> 00:25:12.294
- As we continue to track through the book of acts
- 00:25:12.294 --> 00:25:14.529
- And see what god has in store for us.
- 00:25:14.529 --> 00:25:16.631
- I truly believe that we're on a
- 00:25:16.631 --> 00:25:17.866
- Transformative journey together,
- 00:25:17.866 --> 00:25:19.734
- And i want us to continue this journey
- 00:25:19.734 --> 00:25:21.670
- Through the word of god,
- 00:25:21.670 --> 00:25:22.771
- Specifically through the book of acts.
- 00:25:22.771 --> 00:25:24.406
- As we grow, as we learn, as we mature,
- 00:25:24.406 --> 00:25:26.875
- As the body of christ,
- 00:25:26.875 --> 00:25:28.209

- I'm going to pray myself in agreement with you,
- 00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:53.001
- Whatever you may be, believe in god for.
- 00:25:53.001 --> 00:25:55.203
- And so right now, in jesus name, i thank you for my brothers
- 00:25:55.203 --> 00:25:57.672

- I thank you that your presence
- 00:26:03.244 --> 00:26:04.446
- And your spirit is there with them
- 00:26:04.446 --> 00:26:06.181
- And god, we believe that not only do you hear,
- 00:26:06.181 --> 00:26:08.350
- But you respond. and so right now in the name of jesus.
- 00:26:08.350 --> 00:26:11.086
- We ask that you respond according to your will,
- 00:26:11.086 --> 00:26:13.188
- Your plan, and your purpose for the life,
- 00:26:13.188 --> 00:26:14.823
- The things that you have in store for them right now.
- 00:26:14.823 --> 00:26:17.559
- If there's someone watching that
- 00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:18.793
- Does not have a relationship with you, may they develop one
- 00:26:18.793 --> 00:26:22.497
- Right now.
- 00:26:22.497 --> 00:26:23.698

- And you have not received salvation, or maybe
- 00:26:24.733 --> 00:26:27.802
- You have received salvation and you've fallen away
- 00:26:27.802 --> 00:26:30.005
- And you desire to reestablish that relationship,
- 00:26:30.005 --> 00:26:32.340
- I want you to repeat the rest of this prayer after me
- 00:26:32.340 --> 00:26:34.876
- Lord jesus, come into my heart.

- I am a sinner in need of grace.
- 00:26:37.846 --> 00:26:40.515
- I believe that you died for me
- 00:26:40.515 --> 00:26:42.584
- And so i confess it with my mouth.
- 00:26:42.584 --> 00:26:44.853
