  • Hey, beautiful people, it's pastor
  • 00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:19.235
  • Tim of celebration church,
  • 00:00:19.235 --> 00:00:21.071
  • And what an honor and a privilege
  • 00:00:21.071 --> 00:00:23.139
  • It is to be back with you, wherever you may be.
  • 00:00:23.139 --> 00:00:26.142
  • Tuning in to this broadcast from.
  • 00:00:26.142 --> 00:00:28.812
  • I don't take it for granted that you allow me,
  • 00:00:28.812 --> 00:00:32.148
  • This moment in time, to walk with you through scripture, and
  • 00:00:32.148 --> 00:00:35.752
  • I believe that god has a word for you today.
  • 00:00:35.752 --> 00:00:38.855
  • We've been traveling through
  • 00:00:38.855 --> 00:00:39.789
  • The acts of the apostles, and today
  • 00:00:39.789 --> 00:00:41.524
  • We find ourselves in acts chapter seven.
  • 00:00:41.524 --> 00:00:44.027
  • And i want us to go into the word of god that i believe
  • 00:00:44.027 --> 00:00:47.097
  • Is going to mark you.
  • 00:00:47.097 --> 00:00:48.398
  • It's going to change you.
  • 00:00:48.398 --> 00:00:49.232
  • It's going to transform you,
  • 00:00:49.232 --> 00:00:50.166
  • Renew your mind from the inside out.
  • 00:00:50.166 --> 00:00:53.536
  • And this word is already begun, and it's entitled marked
  • 00:00:53.536 --> 00:00:57.207
  • Before moved.
  • 00:00:57.574 --> 00:00:59.008
  • Let's go to the word of god.
  • 00:00:59.008 --> 00:01:00.643
  • Let's see what god has in store for us today
  • 00:01:00.643 --> 00:01:03.079
  • By this incredible message.
  • 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.182
  • We have
  • 00:01:06.449 --> 00:01:07.550
  • Everything that you have covered your own self with,
  • 00:01:07.550 --> 00:01:09.819
  • So that you can know that what you have covered
  • 00:01:09.819 --> 00:01:11.821
  • Yourself with is not all powerful.
  • 00:01:11.821 --> 00:01:13.523
  • It's not all knowing. it's not omniscient.
  • 00:01:13.523 --> 00:01:15.692
  • It's not i'm not present. it won't give you victory.
  • 00:01:15.692 --> 00:01:17.927
  • It can't heal your body. it won't redeem you.
  • 00:01:17.927 --> 00:01:19.762
  • It won't resolve. it won't set you free.
  • 00:01:19.762 --> 00:01:21.764
  • It won't resurrect you. only i can do that.
  • 00:01:21.764 --> 00:01:23.900
  • And so i will cut away at every single thing
  • 00:01:23.900 --> 00:01:26.336
  • You have put in place that you think can do what i can do.
  • 00:01:26.336 --> 00:01:32.108
  • And quite frankly,
  • 00:01:32.542 --> 00:01:33.343
  • Some of you need to be cut today.
  • 00:01:33.343 --> 00:01:36.946
  • Cutting never is comfortable.
  • 00:01:37.580 --> 00:01:41.384
  • But what cutting always does
  • 00:01:41.985 --> 00:01:43.419
  • Is it exposes
  • 00:01:43.419 --> 00:01:46.456
  • What blood you've got on the inside of you.
  • 00:01:46.456 --> 00:01:49.659
  • God was saying, before you inherit anything from me,
  • 00:01:50.693 --> 00:01:55.298
  • I need
  • 00:01:55.498 --> 00:01:56.366
  • Complete and total ownership of you.
  • 00:01:56.366 --> 00:01:59.135
  • And stefen's accusation to the sanhedrin council.
  • 00:01:59.135 --> 00:02:01.671
  • Is this.
  • 00:02:01.671 --> 00:02:03.072
  • You love abraham's promise,
  • 00:02:03.072 --> 00:02:06.075
  • But you don't honor abraham's posture.
  • 00:02:06.075 --> 00:02:10.380
  • And some of you claim
  • 00:02:10.880 --> 00:02:12.048
  • To be the seed of abraham
  • 00:02:12.048 --> 00:02:15.118
  • Without making the sacrifices abraham made,
  • 00:02:15.118 --> 00:02:17.587
  • So that you could stand in faith like he did.
  • 00:02:17.587 --> 00:02:21.157
  • And stephen stands before this council
  • 00:02:21.991 --> 00:02:23.726
  • When he's breaking open the word of god.
  • 00:02:23.726 --> 00:02:25.328
  • And he's teaching them in a roundabout way,
  • 00:02:25.328 --> 00:02:27.764
  • That what you have prioritized has become an idol in your life
  • 00:02:27.764 --> 00:02:31.968
  • Over the very presence you say you believe in.
  • 00:02:31.968 --> 00:02:35.104
  • Here's the modern tension for us in 2026.
  • 00:02:35.972 --> 00:02:38.408
  • We live in a moment, a society and the culture
  • 00:02:38.408 --> 00:02:41.678
  • That's obsessed with belonging.
  • 00:02:42.312 --> 00:02:43.780
  • Before we obey.
  • 00:02:43.780 --> 00:02:45.982
  • Identity without surrender, home
  • 00:02:45.982 --> 00:02:48.952
  • Without holiness, promise without process.
  • 00:02:48.952 --> 00:02:52.989
  • We want god to affirm us before god forms us.
  • 00:02:52.989 --> 00:02:56.893
  • And god
  • 00:02:57.126 --> 00:02:58.027
  • Will never form you and not affirm you,
  • 00:02:58.027 --> 00:03:01.531
  • But god will not affirm you
  • 00:03:02.131 --> 00:03:03.967
  • Before he formed you.
  • 00:03:03.967 --> 00:03:07.437
  • And some of you are uncomfortable
  • 00:03:07.437 --> 00:03:08.938
  • On the cutting table because you don't know what happens next.
  • 00:03:08.938 --> 00:03:12.609
  • And god doesn't need you to know what happens next.
  • 00:03:13.610 --> 00:03:15.778
  • For you to be completely
  • 00:03:15.778 --> 00:03:17.080
  • And fully obedient to the plan and the purpose he has for you.
  • 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.749
  • He just needs you to agree with his plan
  • 00:03:19.749 --> 00:03:23.586
  • And not push back the knife.
  • 00:03:24.187 --> 00:03:27.323
  • If you can stay on the cutting table long enough,
  • 00:03:27.323 --> 00:03:30.059
  • God will reveal himself in you so that you can see him
  • 00:03:30.059 --> 00:03:34.230
  • And not you.
  • 00:03:34.564 --> 00:03:37.333
  • Some of y'all need plastic surgery
  • 00:03:37.333 --> 00:03:38.901
  • To look like your father.
  • 00:03:38.901 --> 00:03:42.472
  • Because when you look in the mirror,
  • 00:03:42.472 --> 00:03:43.740
  • You still look like yourself. you still sound like your stuff.
  • 00:03:43.740 --> 00:03:45.942
  • You still like your self.
  • 00:03:45.942 --> 00:03:47.176
  • One thing that you will learn about circumcision on a man
  • 00:03:47.176 --> 00:03:50.480
  • Is it changes the way he walks.
  • 00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:54.651
  • And some of you still walk the same room.
  • 00:03:55.485 --> 00:03:59.322
  • You still apologizing to people
  • 00:03:59.322 --> 00:04:00.757
  • Because god is changing you and transforming you.
  • 00:04:00.757 --> 00:04:03.760
  • Stop apologizing because god is actually
  • 00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:06.095
  • Growing you up and maturing. you.
  • 00:04:06.095 --> 00:04:09.232
  • One of the greatest compliments you can ever receive in
  • 00:04:09.232 --> 00:04:12.201
  • This life is you don't look the same.
  • 00:04:12.201 --> 00:04:16.506
  • When someone tells you to thank them,
  • 00:04:17.340 --> 00:04:20.510
  • God did not send his son jesus
  • 00:04:21.110 --> 00:04:24.113
  • To be whipped,
  • 00:04:24.113 --> 00:04:26.182
  • Pierced, and his side crucified.
  • 00:04:26.182 --> 00:04:29.118
  • Crown of thorns placed on his head, hanging on the cross,
  • 00:04:29.118 --> 00:04:33.222
  • Taken off the cross after he gives up the ghost.
  • 00:04:33.222 --> 00:04:35.992
  • Place in a tomb.
  • 00:04:35.992 --> 00:04:37.193
  • Resurrect from the dead so you can sit here
  • 00:04:37.193 --> 00:04:39.329
  • And make excuses as to why you are not changing.
  • 00:04:39.329 --> 00:04:41.931
  • That's right.
  • 00:04:41.931 --> 00:04:43.299
  • Thank you.
  • 00:04:43.299 --> 00:04:46.202
  • No, he came and made the ultimate sacrifice
  • 00:04:46.202 --> 00:04:48.604
  • So that you could actually become more like him.
  • 00:04:48.604 --> 00:04:51.741
  • So when someone tells you you look different
  • 00:04:51.741 --> 00:04:53.776
  • And you're not acting the same as how we used to act,
  • 00:04:53.776 --> 00:04:56.312
  • And you're not doing the same things that we used to do,
  • 00:04:56.312 --> 00:04:58.181
  • You thank them, say thank you for seeing my growth.
  • 00:04:58.181 --> 00:05:01.317
  • Thank you for seeing my maturity.
  • 00:05:01.317 --> 00:05:03.219
  • You think you better than me?
  • 00:05:03.219 --> 00:05:04.454
  • No, i don't think i'm better than you.
  • 00:05:04.454 --> 00:05:06.089
  • I just think i'm changed from the person you used to know.
  • 00:05:06.089 --> 00:05:12.795
  • We want god to affirm us before god forms us.
  • 00:05:13.730 --> 00:05:16.399
  • And god will form you so that he can affirm you.
  • 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.468
  • But god will never give you anything
  • 00:05:18.468 --> 00:05:20.069
  • That brings for the separation between you and him.
  • 00:05:20.069 --> 00:05:24.173
  • So, stephen, in this text,
  • 00:05:24.741 --> 00:05:26.042
  • He exposes a people who defend sacred symbols
  • 00:05:26.042 --> 00:05:31.280
  • While resisting spiritual submission.
  • 00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:34.250
  • So simply put, they wanted covenant benefits
  • 00:05:34.250 --> 00:05:36.986
  • Without covenant blood.
  • 00:05:36.986 --> 00:05:40.323
  • In in order for you to see what god desires
  • 00:05:40.323 --> 00:05:42.725
  • To see in your life, that's going to take
  • 00:05:42.725 --> 00:05:45.027
  • Some cutting away at who you used to be
  • 00:05:45.027 --> 00:05:47.263
  • So that who he's making you can be revealed
  • 00:05:47.263 --> 00:05:50.166
  • And that only happens through blood.
  • 00:05:50.166 --> 00:05:53.002
  • He shed his blood for you.
  • 00:05:53.002 --> 00:05:55.371
  • So why are you covering it?
  • 00:05:55.371 --> 00:05:59.442
  • If i were you, i'd be splashing that blood all over the place.
  • 00:05:59.442 --> 00:06:02.512
  • I plead the blood over my house.
  • 00:06:03.146 --> 00:06:05.348
  • I plead the blood over my children.
  • 00:06:05.348 --> 00:06:07.283
  • I plead the blood over my marriage.
  • 00:06:07.283 --> 00:06:09.051
  • I plead the blood over my mind.
  • 00:06:09.051 --> 00:06:10.887
  • I plead the blood over my job.
  • 00:06:10.887 --> 00:06:12.588
  • I plead the blood over my friendships.
  • 00:06:12.588 --> 00:06:14.390
  • I plead the blood over my relationships.
  • 00:06:14.390 --> 00:06:16.392
  • I plead the blood on everything
  • 00:06:16.392 --> 00:06:17.627
  • That god has asked me to steward.
  • 00:06:17.627 --> 00:06:19.362
  • I'll be shedding that blood everywhere i can
  • 00:06:19.362 --> 00:06:21.831
  • Because there's still power in
  • 00:06:21.831 --> 00:06:23.766
  • The blood, and there is no covenant
  • 00:06:23.766 --> 00:06:25.701
  • With god without first bloodshed.
  • 00:06:25.701 --> 00:06:27.670
  • That's why jesus came and shed his blood for you
  • 00:06:27.670 --> 00:06:30.473
  • To make the ultimate covenant with you.
  • 00:06:30.473 --> 00:06:34.310
  • This passage of scripture gives us some truths,
  • 00:06:34.310 --> 00:06:36.379
  • And i want you to write this down
  • 00:06:36.379 --> 00:06:37.513
  • Point number one, as we move to the text,
  • 00:06:37.513 --> 00:06:39.682
  • You don't arrive at home by comfort.
  • 00:06:39.682 --> 00:06:43.152
  • You enter by covenant.
  • 00:06:43.653 --> 00:06:46.322
  • What is biblical covenant?
  • 00:06:46.322 --> 00:06:47.423
  • Biblical covenant is a sacred, binding
  • 00:06:47.423 --> 00:06:49.258
  • Related relationship initiated by god, established by promise.
  • 00:06:49.258 --> 00:06:54.030
  • An oath, and sealed by sacrifice,
  • 00:06:54.030 --> 00:06:57.433
  • Sustained by faithful obedience, through which god
  • 00:06:57.433 --> 00:07:00.236
  • Commits himself to a people and causes them to live
  • 00:07:00.236 --> 00:07:03.339
  • And loyal trust and submission to him and its core.
  • 00:07:03.339 --> 00:07:06.509
  • Covenant is relational and not contractual.
  • 00:07:06.509 --> 00:07:11.080
  • And oftentimes we don't know what covenant is
  • 00:07:11.948 --> 00:07:14.784
  • Because we think in terms of contract.
  • 00:07:14.784 --> 00:07:16.652
  • God, i'll do this for you if you do this for me,
  • 00:07:16.652 --> 00:07:19.689
  • God, i'll come to church.
  • 00:07:19.689 --> 00:07:20.756
  • If you bless me, god, i'll be consistent.
  • 00:07:20.756 --> 00:07:23.392
  • If you open up this door for me
  • 00:07:23.392 --> 00:07:24.594
  • And god don't work off of your contract.
  • 00:07:24.594 --> 00:07:26.429
  • God works
  • 00:07:26.429 --> 00:07:27.430
  • Off of your intentionality and your intimacy
  • 00:07:27.430 --> 00:07:29.332
  • With him through the medium of relationship.
  • 00:07:29.332 --> 00:07:31.634
  • And so when your mentality is god,
  • 00:07:31.634 --> 00:07:33.202
  • I want to know you and not just what's in your hand right?
  • 00:07:33.202 --> 00:07:36.339
  • Right.
  • 00:07:36.339 --> 00:07:37.840
  • Then you see more about god than you ever could imagine.
  • 00:07:38.908 --> 00:07:41.143
  • But think of.
  • 00:07:41.143 --> 00:07:44.280
  • And so before god establishes you, guess what god does?
  • 00:07:44.280 --> 00:07:47.083
  • He exposes you.
  • 00:07:47.083 --> 00:07:49.919
  • Before he settles you.
  • 00:07:49.919 --> 00:07:51.621
  • He cuts you.
  • 00:07:51.621 --> 00:07:53.789
  • Here's why god will never move you
  • 00:07:53.789 --> 00:07:55.858
  • Into what he hasn't first cut out of you.
  • 00:07:55.858 --> 00:07:59.462
  • And some of you, you think you're growing.
  • 00:08:00.363 --> 00:08:02.131
  • But the reality is, is just a growth.
  • 00:08:02.131 --> 00:08:05.701
  • That's a difference between a growth and growing.
  • 00:08:05.701 --> 00:08:09.505
  • Let me explain.
  • 00:08:09.872 --> 00:08:11.140
  • A growth in your body pulls nutrition from your body.
  • 00:08:11.140 --> 00:08:15.177
  • When you grow.
  • 00:08:15.511 --> 00:08:16.312
  • It adds value and nutrition to it.
  • 00:08:16.312 --> 00:08:19.215
  • A growth needs to be cut out because it's consuming energy.
  • 00:08:19.215 --> 00:08:22.552
  • It's consuming effort.
  • 00:08:22.552 --> 00:08:23.753
  • It's consuming nutrients that should not be consuming it.
  • 00:08:23.753 --> 00:08:26.656
  • When you grow, guess what?
  • 00:08:26.656 --> 00:08:27.857
  • You give your spiritual man the things that
  • 00:08:27.857 --> 00:08:30.192
  • It should be growing in a growth.
  • 00:08:30.192 --> 00:08:32.295
  • It's hazardous.
  • 00:08:32.295 --> 00:08:34.397
  • Growth is intentional.
  • 00:08:34.397 --> 00:08:36.532
  • And some of you think our growth is from god,
  • 00:08:36.532 --> 00:08:39.135
  • Our growth is from the enemy.
  • 00:08:39.135 --> 00:08:40.703
  • And just because something is expanding in your life
  • 00:08:40.703 --> 00:08:43.573
  • Does not mean it's been intentionally designed
  • 00:08:43.573 --> 00:08:45.841
  • To grow you by god.
  • 00:08:45.841 --> 00:08:47.877
  • Some of you got relationships that are growth.
  • 00:08:47.877 --> 00:08:50.379
  • Some of you got boyfriends and girlfriends that are a growth.
  • 00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:53.249
  • Some of you are in relationships
  • 00:08:53.249 --> 00:08:55.051
  • That god never intended for you to be in.
  • 00:08:55.051 --> 00:08:56.652
  • It's a growth, and god is going to circumcise those things
  • 00:08:56.652 --> 00:09:00.389
  • So that they don't steal
  • 00:09:00.389 --> 00:09:01.591
  • From what it is that he's providing
  • 00:09:01.591 --> 00:09:03.025
  • For your spirit man
  • 00:09:03.025 --> 00:09:04.293
  • In this new year of 2026, and it's uncomfortable to get cut
  • 00:09:04.293 --> 00:09:09.432
  • Because you
  • 00:09:09.765 --> 00:09:10.766
  • Promised yourself the person that you with.
  • 00:09:10.766 --> 00:09:13.536
  • But god never did.
  • 00:09:13.536 --> 00:09:18.407
  • And you're finding happiness.
  • 00:09:19.041 --> 00:09:20.376
  • But guess what?
  • 00:09:20.376 --> 00:09:20.876
  • Happiness is fleeting.
  • 00:09:20.876 --> 00:09:25.081
  • And anything you find
  • 00:09:25.581 --> 00:09:29.018
  • That is absent from god's promise is always a prophecy
  • 00:09:29.018 --> 00:09:32.822
  • That it won't be in your future.
  • 00:09:32.822 --> 00:09:36.058
  • And so god will sit you down
  • 00:09:36.058 --> 00:09:38.661
  • And he'll pull out a spiritual blade,
  • 00:09:38.661 --> 00:09:41.030
  • And he'll cut your flesh until you look
  • 00:09:41.030 --> 00:09:44.300
  • Just like him.
  • 00:09:44.300 --> 00:09:48.170
  • And the promise of god.
  • 00:09:48.671 --> 00:09:51.140
  • It's not that he would give you possession.
  • 00:09:51.140 --> 00:09:53.943
  • The promise of god is
  • 00:09:53.943 --> 00:09:55.978
  • That his presence will be with you always.
  • 00:09:55.978 --> 00:09:59.048
  • So what i want to do over the next few minutes is
  • 00:09:59.048 --> 00:10:00.950
  • Break down the next few verse phrase by phrase.
  • 00:10:00.950 --> 00:10:05.187
  • The first phrase that we're going to break down is.
  • 00:10:06.255 --> 00:10:08.157
  • But he gave him no inheritance in it.
  • 00:10:08.157 --> 00:10:11.060
  • In the ancient world, inheritance meant security.
  • 00:10:11.060 --> 00:10:13.929
  • It meant permanence.
  • 00:10:13.929 --> 00:10:15.297
  • It meant identity.
  • 00:10:15.297 --> 00:10:16.565
  • Imit proof of favor.
  • 00:10:16.565 --> 00:10:19.101
  • Yet abraham, the father of faith, dies
  • 00:10:19.101 --> 00:10:21.070
  • Without owning the land.
  • 00:10:21.070 --> 00:10:22.104
  • God promised.
  • 00:10:22.104 --> 00:10:24.240
  • So did god live to abraham?
  • 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.842
  • No, because god does not lie.
  • 00:10:26.842 --> 00:10:29.412
  • So if abraham did not see what god had promised,
  • 00:10:29.412 --> 00:10:32.048
  • It must mean that god sees more than abraham could.
  • 00:10:32.048 --> 00:10:35.151
  • Let me tell you how arrogant we are, how prideful we are.
  • 00:10:35.151 --> 00:10:39.321
  • We think that god thinks on our level,
  • 00:10:39.321 --> 00:10:42.725
  • And when god speaks prophecies and promises to us,
  • 00:10:42.725 --> 00:10:46.262
  • We think that the prophecy and the promise ends with us
  • 00:10:46.262 --> 00:10:48.998
  • Because we are that in a bag of chips
  • 00:10:48.998 --> 00:10:52.101
  • God does not speak merely to you.
  • 00:10:52.101 --> 00:10:54.203
  • He speaks to everything that will come through you.
  • 00:10:54.203 --> 00:10:57.673
  • Because god speaks through lineage,
  • 00:10:58.441 --> 00:11:00.843
  • He speaks through inheritance.
  • 00:11:00.843 --> 00:11:02.511
  • He speaks through bloodlines.
  • 00:11:02.511 --> 00:11:04.113
  • That's why god says, i am the god of abraham.
  • 00:11:04.113 --> 00:11:07.516
  • Isaac, and jacob.
  • 00:11:07.516 --> 00:11:09.418
  • That's why in some books of the bible
  • 00:11:09.418 --> 00:11:11.454
  • He gives you the breakdown of lineage.
  • 00:11:11.454 --> 00:11:13.222
  • And they begot this person.
  • 00:11:13.222 --> 00:11:14.990
  • And david got that person, and they got that person.
  • 00:11:14.990 --> 00:11:17.660
  • Because when god sees you, he sees more than you.
  • 00:11:17.660 --> 00:11:20.362
  • He sees everything that you will produce.
  • 00:11:20.362 --> 00:11:22.431
  • And so when god speaks a promise or prophecy to you
  • 00:11:22.431 --> 00:11:25.267
  • That you don't see in your lifetime,
  • 00:11:25.267 --> 00:11:26.902
  • You better believe that it's going to come through
  • 00:11:26.902 --> 00:11:28.604
  • You and it's going to hit the generation coming behind you.
  • 00:11:28.604 --> 00:11:31.273
  • But pastor, i don't got kids. yes you do.
  • 00:11:31.273 --> 00:11:33.676
  • Your children are any generation
  • 00:11:33.676 --> 00:11:35.611
  • That you pour the word of god into your children,
  • 00:11:35.611 --> 00:11:38.514
  • Of any generation
  • 00:11:38.514 --> 00:11:39.648
  • That you encourage and you're infused with hope,
  • 00:11:39.648 --> 00:11:41.550
  • Your children or any generation that you give faith to.
  • 00:11:41.550 --> 00:11:44.520
  • The word of god says in proverbs that this word will be
  • 00:11:44.520 --> 00:11:47.556
  • Passed down from one generation to another.
  • 00:11:47.556 --> 00:11:50.760
  • So when god sees you, he sees more than you.
  • 00:11:50.760 --> 00:11:53.829
  • He sees everything that's going to come through you.
  • 00:11:53.829 --> 00:11:56.031
  • But you will miss that if you focus on your one more than you.
  • 00:11:56.031 --> 00:11:59.034
  • Focus on his word.
  • 00:11:59.034 --> 00:12:05.508
  • And the reason some of us miss
  • 00:12:06.108 --> 00:12:07.376
  • It is because we're so focused on what we're carrying,
  • 00:12:07.376 --> 00:12:11.180
  • What's in us,
  • 00:12:11.547 --> 00:12:14.250
  • And what god has spoken to us.
  • 00:12:14.250 --> 00:12:17.453
  • And you will miss every promise,
  • 00:12:17.453 --> 00:12:19.555
  • Every declaration, every decree, every prophecy.
  • 00:12:19.555 --> 00:12:23.392
  • If you think that god's word is limited to your lifetime.
  • 00:12:23.392 --> 00:12:28.798
  • So god does not lie.
  • 00:12:29.265 --> 00:12:30.833
  • He spoke when he spoke to abraham,
  • 00:12:30.833 --> 00:12:33.035
  • And abraham did not see it with his own eyes.
  • 00:12:33.035 --> 00:12:35.671
  • But scripture says that we are the heirs of abraham,
  • 00:12:35.671 --> 00:12:39.542
  • And the
  • 00:12:39.542 --> 00:12:40.776
  • Very land that god promised abraham now is being occupied
  • 00:12:40.776 --> 00:12:43.646
  • By the children of god, not because god intended
  • 00:12:43.646 --> 00:12:47.082
  • For abraham to see it,
  • 00:12:47.082 --> 00:12:48.284
  • But because its intention was always that
  • 00:12:48.284 --> 00:12:49.985
  • Whatever he produced would benefit from the blessing
  • 00:12:49.985 --> 00:12:52.288
  • That he carried.
  • 00:12:52.288 --> 00:12:53.722
  • So here's my question to you today in 2026.
  • 00:12:53.722 --> 00:12:56.325
  • What have you carrying that you've looked past
  • 00:12:56.325 --> 00:12:58.427
  • Because you're so concentrated on what god spoke to you
  • 00:12:59.495 --> 00:13:02.231
  • About a generation that you cannot yet see.
  • 00:13:02.231 --> 00:13:05.301
  • Don't be selfish with the prophecy.
  • 00:13:06.101 --> 00:13:08.204
  • Don't be selfish with the promise.
  • 00:13:08.204 --> 00:13:09.972
  • Don't always think it got to happen for you
  • 00:13:09.972 --> 00:13:12.341
  • And for your lifetime.
  • 00:13:12.341 --> 00:13:13.709
  • And for your eyes and for your ears.
  • 00:13:13.709 --> 00:13:15.411
  • Know sometimes what god speaks to you is not for you.
  • 00:13:15.411 --> 00:13:19.281
  • It's for who is coming through you.
  • 00:13:19.281 --> 00:13:22.117
  • I'm living witness.
  • 00:13:22.117 --> 00:13:23.219
  • I'm standing in the prayers and in the prophecies
  • 00:13:23.219 --> 00:13:25.754
  • And in the promises that god made to my father.
  • 00:13:25.754 --> 00:13:28.257
  • My father died at 52, the day after my 18th birthday.
  • 00:13:28.257 --> 00:13:31.794
  • He never saw it, but he prayed those things.
  • 00:13:31.794 --> 00:13:34.496
  • And god said, i'll make sure that i deliver him to you.
  • 00:13:34.496 --> 00:13:37.633
  • When he said you, he was not talking to him.
  • 00:13:37.633 --> 00:13:40.135
  • He was talking about everything
  • 00:13:40.135 --> 00:13:41.670
  • That came through his bloodline.
  • 00:13:41.670 --> 00:13:43.305
  • And you need to understand
  • 00:13:43.305 --> 00:13:44.840
  • That there's more power
  • 00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:45.908
  • In your bloodline than what you understand.
  • 00:13:45.908 --> 00:13:49.879
  • Point number two is
  • 00:13:50.346 --> 00:13:51.280
  • This god mark the place of reproduction
  • 00:13:51.280 --> 00:13:55.217
  • Because what you produce reveals who you belong to.
  • 00:13:55.217 --> 00:14:00.122
  • This wasn't cosmetic.
  • 00:14:00.623 --> 00:14:03.192
  • This was alignment.
  • 00:14:03.192 --> 00:14:05.594
  • And stephen is confronting leaders who prioritize preserve
  • 00:14:05.594 --> 00:14:09.431
  • The rituals over preserving intimacy with jesus.
  • 00:14:09.431 --> 00:14:13.335
  • They aborted righteousness.
  • 00:14:13.936 --> 00:14:15.304
  • They defended traditions. they resisted transformation.
  • 00:14:15.304 --> 00:14:18.274
  • They protected the form of godliness,
  • 00:14:18.274 --> 00:14:20.676
  • But rejected the fruit of obedience.
  • 00:14:20.676 --> 00:14:24.246
  • And if you're not careful, this will become you.
  • 00:14:25.247 --> 00:14:28.450
  • You will know scripture, but you won't know his presence.
  • 00:14:28.450 --> 00:14:32.554
  • You know church language, but you won't know the power
  • 00:14:32.554 --> 00:14:34.857
  • Of the holy spirit.
  • 00:14:34.857 --> 00:14:37.092
  • You will celebrate legacy, but you will cancel
  • 00:14:37.092 --> 00:14:39.094
  • Discipline.
  • 00:14:39.094 --> 00:14:41.230
  • You love revival language,
  • 00:14:41.230 --> 00:14:42.965
  • But you will reject the lifestyle of repentance.
  • 00:14:42.965 --> 00:14:46.969
  • This is what we have to understand.
  • 00:14:47.736 --> 00:14:49.571
  • God does not mark you for statics.
  • 00:14:49.571 --> 00:14:51.807
  • He marks you for alignment.
  • 00:14:51.807 --> 00:14:53.442
  • And god marked abraham
  • 00:14:53.442 --> 00:14:54.944
  • Not so that he could show differently,
  • 00:14:54.944 --> 00:14:56.912
  • But so he could be transformed differently.
  • 00:14:56.912 --> 00:15:00.049
  • What stephen is teaching the sanhedrin council.
  • 00:15:00.983 --> 00:15:03.152
  • This i don't care how you look,
  • 00:15:03.152 --> 00:15:04.753
  • If you're not marked, you're not going to move.
  • 00:15:04.753 --> 00:15:08.190
  • And some of you, you're trying to move without god marking you.
  • 00:15:08.190 --> 00:15:10.559
  • And god will absolutely keep you stuck in the season
  • 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.329
  • That you're in until you stay seated
  • 00:15:13.329 --> 00:15:15.030
  • Long enough for him to mark you
  • 00:15:15.030 --> 00:15:16.532
  • So that he can move you from one season to the next.
  • 00:15:16.532 --> 00:15:19.068
  • Stop trying to move before god marks you.
  • 00:15:19.068 --> 00:15:22.871
  • And right now, in this moment,
  • 00:15:22.871 --> 00:15:24.440
  • God is marking
  • 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:25.407
  • Some of you and it's uncomfortable
  • 00:15:25.407 --> 00:15:27.142
  • And you think i'm totally directing to you.
  • 00:15:27.142 --> 00:15:29.211
  • And the truth is, i am talking directly to you.
  • 00:15:29.211 --> 00:15:32.114
  • The holy spirit is talking to me, to you for your present
  • 00:15:32.114 --> 00:15:35.317
  • Circumstance, situation, trials, tribulations, and test.
  • 00:15:35.317 --> 00:15:39.655
  • You have to be marked so you can move.
  • 00:15:39.655 --> 00:15:45.260
  • Aren't you tired of being stuck?
  • 00:15:45.894 --> 00:15:48.831
  • Aren't you tired of spinning your wheels
  • 00:15:48.831 --> 00:15:50.833
  • In the same season, over and over and over again?
  • 00:15:50.833 --> 00:15:54.470
  • And the reality is,
  • 00:15:54.470 --> 00:15:55.771
  • Is every test that god gives you
  • 00:15:55.771 --> 00:15:57.740
  • Is only meant for you to take once.
  • 00:15:57.740 --> 00:15:59.575
  • But if you feel it, you sit in front of the test
  • 00:15:59.575 --> 00:16:01.910
  • For the rest of your life.
  • 00:16:01.910 --> 00:16:05.180
  • And some of you, your test today is obedience.
  • 00:16:06.148 --> 00:16:08.350
  • Something you do? your test is consistency.
  • 00:16:08.350 --> 00:16:10.652
  • For some of you, your test is sacrifice.
  • 00:16:10.652 --> 00:16:12.554
  • But for some of you, your test is to reflect
  • 00:16:12.554 --> 00:16:14.423
  • The love of jesus christ.
  • 00:16:14.423 --> 00:16:15.691
  • For others, you.
  • 00:16:15.691 --> 00:16:16.258
  • Your test is grace,
  • 00:16:16.258 --> 00:16:17.393
  • Extending the same grace that you've been given
  • 00:16:17.393 --> 00:16:19.361
  • To other people who desperately need it in your life.
  • 00:16:19.361 --> 00:16:21.630
  • But you will take that test
  • 00:16:21.630 --> 00:16:23.065
  • Over and over again if you continue to fill it.
  • 00:16:23.065 --> 00:16:29.671
  • But we have to understand, as god
  • 00:16:30.406 --> 00:16:31.807
  • Cuts away every illusion of self ownership.
  • 00:16:31.807 --> 00:16:35.611
  • See, physical circumcision declared
  • 00:16:36.345 --> 00:16:38.080
  • Very loudly, you are not your own
  • 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.617
  • Spiritual circumcision on your heart, on your soul.
  • 00:16:42.618 --> 00:16:44.853
  • And your spirit declares that you do not belong to yourself.
  • 00:16:44.853 --> 00:16:47.656
  • You belong to god.
  • 00:16:47.656 --> 00:16:49.858
  • I want you to hear me when i tell you this.
  • 00:16:49.858 --> 00:16:53.529
  • God marked the part of his body most associated
  • 00:16:53.529 --> 00:16:58.934
  • With the autonomy, with pleasure,
  • 00:16:58.934 --> 00:17:02.104
  • And with legacy.
  • 00:17:02.471 --> 00:17:05.207
  • Did you hear what i said?
  • 00:17:05.207 --> 00:17:07.476
  • And some of you are being tested in that very area today.
  • 00:17:07.476 --> 00:17:10.946
  • Your autonomy,
  • 00:17:11.313 --> 00:17:13.515
  • Your pleasure and your legacy.
  • 00:17:13.515 --> 00:17:16.919
  • You're using language with your family.
  • 00:17:17.786 --> 00:17:19.721
  • I'm doing this for you.
  • 00:17:19.721 --> 00:17:21.290
  • I'm not home because i'm trying
  • 00:17:21.290 --> 00:17:22.891
  • To provide a better future for you.
  • 00:17:22.891 --> 00:17:24.860
  • And god never asked you to do that.
  • 00:17:24.860 --> 00:17:28.797
  • Some of you
  • 00:17:29.131 --> 00:17:30.165
  • Are so caught on your passions and how you feel,
  • 00:17:30.165 --> 00:17:33.469
  • And how does it make you feel and your way and your emotion
  • 00:17:33.469 --> 00:17:36.905
  • That you've made your passions your god?
  • 00:17:36.905 --> 00:17:39.708
  • And so god will absolutely cut away your passion to cut away
  • 00:17:39.708 --> 00:17:42.845
  • At what you've been producing.
  • 00:17:42.845 --> 00:17:43.912
  • He'll cut away and what your hands have been on.
  • 00:17:43.912 --> 00:17:45.948
  • He'll cut away at the job you've made an idol.
  • 00:17:45.948 --> 00:17:47.950
  • He'll cut away at that relationship.
  • 00:17:47.950 --> 00:17:49.585
  • You've made a god.
  • 00:17:49.585 --> 00:17:50.786
  • He'll cut away at the finances that you've been stewarding,
  • 00:17:50.786 --> 00:17:52.788
  • That you think are your god.
  • 00:17:52.788 --> 00:17:54.056
  • And you make decisions based upon money
  • 00:17:54.056 --> 00:17:56.125
  • Instead of allowing god to steward through you
  • 00:17:56.125 --> 00:17:58.427
  • What it is that he's allowed you
  • 00:17:58.427 --> 00:17:59.828
  • And entrusted to you in the first place.
  • 00:17:59.828 --> 00:18:01.563
  • Stop making things god above god in your life
  • 00:18:01.563 --> 00:18:05.267
  • And watch how god utilizes those things for his glory.
  • 00:18:05.267 --> 00:18:11.273
  • This is what god desires.
  • 00:18:11.840 --> 00:18:14.710
  • He desires to own your future.
  • 00:18:14.710 --> 00:18:16.912
  • He desires to own your fruit,
  • 00:18:16.912 --> 00:18:18.747
  • And he desires to give you fulfillment.
  • 00:18:18.747 --> 00:18:20.582
  • But you can never have those things
  • 00:18:20.582 --> 00:18:22.151
  • If you desire autonomy, if you desire your pleasure,
  • 00:18:22.151 --> 00:18:25.220
  • Separate from him,
  • 00:18:25.220 --> 00:18:26.255
  • And you desire a legacy absent from his presence
  • 00:18:26.255 --> 00:18:30.092
  • At a deeper level, circumcision is god severing the lie
  • 00:18:30.092 --> 00:18:33.629
  • That you get to decide where and who you belong to.
  • 00:18:33.629 --> 00:18:43.672
  • Don't accidentally get circumcised
  • 00:18:44.439 --> 00:18:47.743
  • And the no oops power surprise.
  • 00:18:48.377 --> 00:18:53.415
  • It's intentional.
  • 00:18:53.849 --> 00:18:57.352
  • It's a cutting.
  • 00:18:57.719 --> 00:19:00.956
  • There's an intentional decision to allow god
  • 00:19:00.956 --> 00:19:03.425
  • To cut away at everything that has tried to cover you.
  • 00:19:03.425 --> 00:19:07.863
  • Absent from his presence.
  • 00:19:07.863 --> 00:19:10.599
  • I give you one more
  • 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:12.968
  • Point.
  • 00:19:12.968 --> 00:19:13.802
  • Number three, as we close as this.
  • 00:19:13.802 --> 00:19:16.705
  • The greatest threat to faith isn't rebellion.
  • 00:19:17.673 --> 00:19:21.109
  • The greatest
  • 00:19:21.410 --> 00:19:22.911
  • Threat to your faith is comfort.
  • 00:19:22.911 --> 00:19:26.481
  • You don't settle into god's promises.
  • 00:19:27.316 --> 00:19:29.151
  • You follow him into the.
  • 00:19:29.151 --> 00:19:32.854
  • In charge to
  • 00:19:33.155 --> 00:19:34.156
  • The sanhedrin council is not forgetfulness.
  • 00:19:34.156 --> 00:19:37.125
  • It's immobility.
  • 00:19:37.125 --> 00:19:38.961
  • They got stuck in a place god never called them
  • 00:19:38.961 --> 00:19:41.163
  • To get stuck in.
  • 00:19:41.163 --> 00:19:43.198
  • They made a house where god told them to make a tent.
  • 00:19:43.198 --> 00:19:46.935
  • They dwelled in a land that did not belong to them.
  • 00:19:46.935 --> 00:19:50.105
  • And what god is encouraging you today is do not make a house
  • 00:19:50.105 --> 00:19:54.610
  • Where he has not intended for you to stay.
  • 00:19:54.610 --> 00:19:59.147
  • They froze god into a place
  • 00:19:59.748 --> 00:20:03.118
  • God was no longer intended to stay.
  • 00:20:03.118 --> 00:20:06.488
  • They tried to box god in,
  • 00:20:06.488 --> 00:20:09.391
  • And the way that they saw god was limited to the perspective
  • 00:20:09.391 --> 00:20:12.861
  • And the truth and the revelation.
  • 00:20:12.861 --> 00:20:14.363
  • And this is the jesus you see is the jesus you get.
  • 00:20:14.363 --> 00:20:19.034
  • If your
  • 00:20:19.268 --> 00:20:20.335
  • Savior is limited to your circumstance, guess what?
  • 00:20:20.335 --> 00:20:22.938
  • You'll always be limited to how you see him.
  • 00:20:22.938 --> 00:20:27.376
  • The jesus you see
  • 00:20:27.809 --> 00:20:29.011
  • Is the jesus you get.
  • 00:20:29.011 --> 00:20:32.514
  • And when you take the
  • 00:20:33.015 --> 00:20:33.849
  • Restrictions, when you take the box,
  • 00:20:33.849 --> 00:20:35.450
  • When you take the chains off of the jesus you see,
  • 00:20:35.450 --> 00:20:38.587
  • You get a savior that's unlimited.
  • 00:20:38.587 --> 00:20:40.922
  • You get a savior that's not restricted.
  • 00:20:40.922 --> 00:20:42.991
  • You get a savior that's not tied down to you
  • 00:20:42.991 --> 00:20:45.360
  • And your circumstance and your situation and your reality.
  • 00:20:45.360 --> 00:20:48.630
  • You get a savior that operates above that
  • 00:20:48.630 --> 00:20:50.732
  • And controls what it is you see and how you see it.
  • 00:20:50.732 --> 00:20:53.168
  • When you apply the word of god, it stretches your vision.
  • 00:20:53.168 --> 00:20:55.637
  • When you apply the word of god, it
  • 00:20:55.637 --> 00:20:56.938
  • Stretches your ability to hear.
  • 00:20:56.938 --> 00:20:58.073
  • But if you're not in your word,
  • 00:20:58.073 --> 00:20:59.474
  • You don't know who's speaking to you,
  • 00:20:59.474 --> 00:21:00.942
  • And you'll follow any voice that speaks.
  • 00:21:00.942 --> 00:21:05.447
  • What we have to understand is god
  • 00:21:06.181 --> 00:21:07.716
  • Is always moving, so why do we get stuck?
  • 00:21:07.716 --> 00:21:11.019
  • God is always speaking.
  • 00:21:11.520 --> 00:21:12.721
  • So why don't we always hear?
  • 00:21:12.721 --> 00:21:15.290
  • Because we get in the way of what god is doing
  • 00:21:15.290 --> 00:21:17.192
  • With our expectations and our limited perspective.
  • 00:21:17.192 --> 00:21:21.797
  • So as we come home today, we have to understand
  • 00:21:22.798 --> 00:21:24.833
  • This homecoming is not nostalgia.
  • 00:21:24.833 --> 00:21:27.536
  • It's not tradition.
  • 00:21:27.536 --> 00:21:29.371
  • It is obedience in motion.
  • 00:21:29.371 --> 00:21:33.241
  • God didn't promise stability.
  • 00:21:33.875 --> 00:21:35.377
  • He promised himself.
  • 00:21:35.377 --> 00:21:37.779
  • God didn't promise comfort.
  • 00:21:37.779 --> 00:21:40.315
  • You promise
  • 00:21:40.315 --> 00:21:41.450
  • That your character will change when you depend on him.
  • 00:21:41.450 --> 00:21:44.019
  • God didn't promise that things would be easy.
  • 00:21:44.019 --> 00:21:45.887
  • God promise
  • 00:21:45.887 --> 00:21:46.955
  • That when you walk out this life, he'll be with you
  • 00:21:46.955 --> 00:21:48.790
  • Every step of the way, in good seasons
  • 00:21:48.790 --> 00:21:50.592
  • And in bad seasons and mountaintops and in valleys,
  • 00:21:50.592 --> 00:21:53.628
  • He said, i'll never leave you, nor will i forsake you.
  • 00:21:53.628 --> 00:21:55.464
  • I'll be with you until the very end of all time.
  • 00:21:55.464 --> 00:21:57.232
  • God never said that you would get everything you want.
  • 00:21:57.232 --> 00:21:59.434
  • He said, i'll provide everything that you need.
  • 00:21:59.434 --> 00:22:02.938
  • And so you will absolutely stay stuck
  • 00:22:03.672 --> 00:22:06.108
  • In the season
  • 00:22:06.108 --> 00:22:07.242
  • That you're in until god marks you, and he cuts away
  • 00:22:07.242 --> 00:22:10.045
  • Every part of you that is not a reflection of him.
  • 00:22:10.045 --> 00:22:12.948
  • He will circumcise your heart.
  • 00:22:12.948 --> 00:22:14.549
  • He will circumcise your mind.
  • 00:22:14.549 --> 00:22:16.051
  • It will circumcise your will.
  • 00:22:16.051 --> 00:22:17.452
  • He will circumcise your way.
  • 00:22:17.452 --> 00:22:18.887
  • He'll circumcise the things that you have
  • 00:22:18.887 --> 00:22:20.489
  • Prioritized over his presence.
  • 00:22:20.489 --> 00:22:22.257
  • He will circumcise the things that you are
  • 00:22:22.257 --> 00:22:23.859
  • A witness of his power.
  • 00:22:23.859 --> 00:22:25.160
  • He will absolutely cut away at everything that you want,
  • 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:28.163
  • So that you could actually see what you have made of.
  • 00:22:28.163 --> 00:22:33.068
  • Some of you can't see
  • 00:22:33.568 --> 00:22:34.469
  • Because you still got your eyes open.
  • 00:22:34.469 --> 00:22:37.506
  • One of the greatest threats to your faith
  • 00:22:38.340 --> 00:22:41.109
  • Is not doubt.
  • 00:22:41.109 --> 00:22:43.278
  • It's what you see.
  • 00:22:43.278 --> 00:22:46.515
  • Because what you see often becomes a distraction
  • 00:22:46.515 --> 00:22:48.650
  • From what god said.
  • 00:22:48.650 --> 00:22:50.986
  • I said it last week.
  • 00:22:51.453 --> 00:22:53.321
  • I'll say it again this week.
  • 00:22:53.321 --> 00:22:55.724
  • Some of you need to close your eyes
  • 00:22:55.724 --> 00:22:57.125
  • So that you can see what god is showing you.
  • 00:22:57.125 --> 00:23:00.762
  • Don't get distracted by what's around you.
  • 00:23:00.762 --> 00:23:03.732
  • Be hyper aware.
  • 00:23:03.732 --> 00:23:04.900
  • Be hyper focus of what god is doing on the inside of you.
  • 00:23:04.900 --> 00:23:08.170
  • God cuts and when god cuts, it's not discipline first,
  • 00:23:08.170 --> 00:23:12.407
  • It's deliverance first.
  • 00:23:12.407 --> 00:23:15.544
  • God isn't correcting you because you failed.
  • 00:23:15.544 --> 00:23:17.846
  • He's cutting you because he sees what's enslaving you.
  • 00:23:17.846 --> 00:23:20.749
  • And anytime god cuts you, it's because he sees
  • 00:23:20.749 --> 00:23:23.285
  • What's actually holding you back.
  • 00:23:23.285 --> 00:23:24.753
  • Anytime god cuts you, it's because he sees what you're
  • 00:23:24.753 --> 00:23:27.222
  • Trying to use as a cover that can only be covered by him.
  • 00:23:27.222 --> 00:23:30.225
  • Anytime god cuts you, it's because you've idolized
  • 00:23:30.225 --> 00:23:32.928
  • And prioritize and made little god
  • 00:23:32.928 --> 00:23:35.030
  • Over things that god never intended for you
  • 00:23:35.030 --> 00:23:36.798
  • To prioritize over him and his presence,
  • 00:23:36.798 --> 00:23:39.034
  • So he will cut you until you look like he does.
  • 00:23:39.034 --> 00:23:46.107
  • So today,
  • 00:23:46.408 --> 00:23:47.242
  • God is marking you before he moves you.
  • 00:23:47.242 --> 00:23:50.045
  • He's calling you higher.
  • 00:23:50.045 --> 00:23:52.113
  • He's stripping you of the identity
  • 00:23:52.113 --> 00:23:53.615
  • You gave yourself, and he's reminding you, you are son.
  • 00:23:53.615 --> 00:23:57.486
  • You are a daughter the most high
  • 00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:02.123
  • God never cut you to hurt you.
  • 00:24:02.123 --> 00:24:03.959
  • He cut you to unhook you.
  • 00:24:03.959 --> 00:24:07.829
  • Now, though it's painful, the pain of circumcision pales
  • 00:24:07.829 --> 00:24:11.900
  • In comparison to the pain of remaining stuck.
  • 00:24:11.900 --> 00:24:17.172
  • Today, if god is cutting you, it's
  • 00:24:17.906 --> 00:24:20.976
  • Because he refuses to compete with anything in your life.
  • 00:24:20.976 --> 00:24:24.212
  • God will not show you a heart with fear.
  • 00:24:25.080 --> 00:24:26.848
  • He will not share your heart with control.
  • 00:24:26.848 --> 00:24:28.517
  • He will not show you a heart with so protection.
  • 00:24:28.517 --> 00:24:30.619
  • And what feels like loss is often god removing
  • 00:24:30.619 --> 00:24:33.421
  • Rivals in your life.
  • 00:24:33.421 --> 00:24:36.625
  • What you have to understand is anything that competes with
  • 00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:40.195
  • Trust will eventually be confronted by love.
  • 00:24:40.195 --> 00:24:43.798
  • I'll say it again
  • 00:24:44.232 --> 00:24:45.967
  • Anything that competes with trust
  • 00:24:45.967 --> 00:24:49.738
  • Will eventually be removed and confronted
  • 00:24:49.738 --> 00:24:52.674
  • By love.
  • 00:24:52.674 --> 00:24:56.211
  • One of the greatest signs of god's love
  • 00:24:56.211 --> 00:24:59.314
  • Is that he circumcised you
  • 00:24:59.881 --> 00:25:02.183
  • So that you can look more like him.
  • 00:25:02.183 --> 00:25:05.854
  • Well, this is the part of the broadcast
  • 00:25:05.854 --> 00:25:08.857
  • That i have to tell you out of time
  • 00:25:08.857 --> 00:25:11.259
  • And to come back
  • 00:25:11.259 --> 00:25:13.461
  • Next week as we continue to travel
  • 00:25:13.461 --> 00:25:16.598
  • Through the book of acts,
  • 00:25:16.598 --> 00:25:19.167
  • I believe god is speaking.
  • 00:25:19.167 --> 00:25:21.269
  • I believe today,
  • 00:25:21.269 --> 00:25:22.938
  • If you are leaning in, there's some areas in your life
  • 00:25:22.938 --> 00:25:26.508
  • That you need him to cut away,
  • 00:25:26.508 --> 00:25:29.144
  • And i want to close with the question.
  • 00:25:29.144 --> 00:25:31.479
  • The question that i want to close with is,
  • 00:25:31.479 --> 00:25:34.082
  • What areas in your life have you tried to cover
  • 00:25:34.082 --> 00:25:37.185
  • That god can only cover?
  • 00:25:37.686 --> 00:25:39.788
  • My prayer
  • 00:25:40.088 --> 00:25:41.156
  • Is that god would remove, he would cut away.
  • 00:25:41.156 --> 00:25:44.426
  • He would circumcise those areas in our life
  • 00:25:44.426 --> 00:25:47.629
  • And in our heart so that he can truly cover them.
  • 00:25:47.629 --> 00:25:51.600
  • I want to pray for you, lord.
  • 00:25:52.233 --> 00:25:54.102
  • I thank you for my brothers and sisters
  • 00:25:54.102 --> 00:25:55.570
  • That are leaning into this moment with me.
  • 00:25:55.570 --> 00:25:57.973
  • I thank you god
  • 00:25:57.973 --> 00:25:58.974
  • That no matter where they are watching from,
  • 00:25:58.974 --> 00:26:00.675
  • No matter where they're listening from,
  • 00:26:00.675 --> 00:26:02.477
  • Your presence is right there with them.
  • 00:26:02.477 --> 00:26:04.779
  • And so, god,
  • 00:26:04.779 --> 00:26:05.981
  • I ask that you would do something that only you can do,
  • 00:26:05.981 --> 00:26:09.317
  • And that is allow them to feel you allow them to hear you
  • 00:26:09.317 --> 00:26:12.854
  • Allow them to experience you in a fresh and new way.
  • 00:26:12.854 --> 00:26:15.857
  • Today, in the name of jesus, i pray.
  • 00:26:15.857 --> 00:26:18.927
  • Amen.
  • 00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:20.395
