  • ♪♪
  • 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:17.367
  • Do you find yourself in pain today?
  • 00:00:17.367 --> 00:00:19.803
  • Maybe you like me and you're going
  • 00:00:19.803 --> 00:00:21.504
  • Through various seasons of pressure and tension
  • 00:00:21.504 --> 00:00:24.641
  • And seasons of things that you had planned
  • 00:00:24.641 --> 00:00:28.278
  • To have answers for at this stage of life
  • 00:00:28.278 --> 00:00:30.513
  • That you have not gotten the answers to.
  • 00:00:30.513 --> 00:00:33.450
  • I got a word for you today.
  • 00:00:33.450 --> 00:00:34.551
  • If you find yourself in that season,
  • 00:00:34.551 --> 00:00:36.553
  • Maybe it's physical pain,
  • 00:00:36.553 --> 00:00:38.688
  • Maybe it's mental pain, maybe it's spiritual or soul pain.
  • 00:00:38.688 --> 00:00:42.392
  • Maybe it's emotional pain, whatever the pain is.
  • 00:00:42.392 --> 00:00:45.462
  • I believe the word of god
  • 00:00:45.462 --> 00:00:46.863
  • Has the power and the authority to heal you, no matter what
  • 00:00:46.863 --> 00:00:50.233
  • Season you find yourself in today.
  • 00:00:50.233 --> 00:00:52.402
  • I want us to go into the word of god, as i believe
  • 00:00:52.402 --> 00:00:55.071
  • It will be like healing balm over your soul, the word of god
  • 00:00:55.071 --> 00:00:58.441
  • And the message today is pain into purpose.
  • 00:00:58.441 --> 00:01:03.480
  • The children of god needed to
  • 00:01:04.114 --> 00:01:05.849
  • Carry the gospel of jesus christ to the areas beyond jerusalem,
  • 00:01:05.849 --> 00:01:10.353
  • And into judea, and into samaria,
  • 00:01:10.353 --> 00:01:12.889
  • And into the uttermost parts of the world and the devil.
  • 00:01:12.889 --> 00:01:17.961
  • He struck a witness, but what he did not know
  • 00:01:17.961 --> 00:01:22.398
  • Is that he was actually fulfilling prophecy.
  • 00:01:22.398 --> 00:01:25.668
  • And so what i like to do is go
  • 00:01:26.269 --> 00:01:28.171
  • Verse by verse, word by word, break it down so that we can all
  • 00:01:28.171 --> 00:01:32.675
  • Benefit from the words of god in verse number 60.
  • 00:01:32.675 --> 00:01:37.447
  • Acts chapter seven.
  • 00:01:37.447 --> 00:01:38.548
  • The first statement it says in falling on his knees.
  • 00:01:38.548 --> 00:01:42.585
  • And this is not just any statement, this is revelation
  • 00:01:42.585 --> 00:01:46.389
  • Because it shows us that in the midst of pain,
  • 00:01:46.389 --> 00:01:49.192
  • In the midst of turmoil, in the midst of persecution,
  • 00:01:49.192 --> 00:01:52.428
  • He falls to his knees, not in defeat.
  • 00:01:52.428 --> 00:01:55.064
  • He falls to his knees and devotion to jesus christ.
  • 00:01:55.064 --> 00:01:59.002
  • I'll say it again he does not fall in defeat.
  • 00:01:59.002 --> 00:02:01.371
  • He falls in devotion.
  • 00:02:01.371 --> 00:02:03.273
  • Look at me for a second.
  • 00:02:03.273 --> 00:02:04.507
  • If you will bow your knees in devotion to
  • 00:02:04.507 --> 00:02:06.943
  • Jesus christ, you will never be on your knees and defeat.
  • 00:02:06.943 --> 00:02:12.482
  • I'll say it again.
  • 00:02:12.916 --> 00:02:14.117
  • If you will bow your knees and devotion to jesus christ,
  • 00:02:14.117 --> 00:02:17.086
  • You will never experience defeat in this life.
  • 00:02:17.086 --> 00:02:21.891
  • How can i say that?
  • 00:02:21.891 --> 00:02:22.926
  • How can i make such a bold statement?
  • 00:02:22.926 --> 00:02:24.961
  • Because the posture of prayer is the posture
  • 00:02:24.961 --> 00:02:28.731
  • That pain births purpose.
  • 00:02:28.731 --> 00:02:31.768
  • And when you find yourself being pressed and pressured by life
  • 00:02:31.768 --> 00:02:35.305
  • And you run back to the feet of jesus, he takes that pain.
  • 00:02:35.305 --> 00:02:39.242
  • And he does what romans teaches us.
  • 00:02:39.242 --> 00:02:41.411
  • He he works it together
  • 00:02:41.411 --> 00:02:42.946
  • For the good of those that love the lord.
  • 00:02:42.946 --> 00:02:45.348
  • So whether you're in a
  • 00:02:45.348 --> 00:02:46.449
  • Good season or a painful season, if you find yourself
  • 00:02:46.449 --> 00:02:49.953
  • Running back to the feet of jesus,
  • 00:02:49.953 --> 00:02:51.754
  • It will take the good, and he'll take the bad,
  • 00:02:51.754 --> 00:02:54.090
  • And he'll make it work together
  • 00:02:54.090 --> 00:02:55.592
  • For the good of those that love the lord.
  • 00:02:55.592 --> 00:02:59.495
  • And some people collapse when
  • 00:03:00.129 --> 00:03:01.631
  • Life gets hard and stephen bowed when life got hard.
  • 00:03:01.631 --> 00:03:06.469
  • Which brings us to point number one.
  • 00:03:07.270 --> 00:03:10.306
  • If pressure makes you bow to god,
  • 00:03:10.306 --> 00:03:12.742
  • It can never break you.
  • 00:03:12.742 --> 00:03:16.012
  • If pressure brings you closer to jesus christ,
  • 00:03:16.012 --> 00:03:18.848
  • It can never break you.
  • 00:03:18.848 --> 00:03:20.650
  • If pressure makes you more like jesus and it
  • 00:03:20.650 --> 00:03:23.786
  • It refines who he is making you into being,
  • 00:03:23.786 --> 00:03:26.990
  • Than it can never break you pain.
  • 00:03:26.990 --> 00:03:29.392
  • It may knock you down, but prayer will always pick
  • 00:03:29.392 --> 00:03:32.395
  • You back up and put you back on your feet,
  • 00:03:32.395 --> 00:03:34.764
  • Back on the path of righteousness.
  • 00:03:34.764 --> 00:03:36.633
  • Lift your head.
  • 00:03:36.633 --> 00:03:37.600
  • Point your eyes towards the hill
  • 00:03:37.600 --> 00:03:39.369
  • From which cometh your help, and remind you
  • 00:03:39.369 --> 00:03:41.571
  • That your help does not come from men.
  • 00:03:41.571 --> 00:03:43.506
  • You help does not come from women.
  • 00:03:43.506 --> 00:03:45.208
  • Your help comes from the lord.
  • 00:03:45.208 --> 00:03:46.809
  • Your help doesn't come from your family.
  • 00:03:46.809 --> 00:03:48.678
  • Your help doesn't even come from your friends.
  • 00:03:48.678 --> 00:03:50.747
  • Your help truly doesn't come from your job.
  • 00:03:50.747 --> 00:03:52.849
  • Your help comes from the lord.
  • 00:03:52.849 --> 00:03:54.384
  • So when pain knocks you down, it is prayer that picks
  • 00:03:54.384 --> 00:03:57.954
  • You back up.
  • 00:03:57.954 --> 00:03:58.621
  • It is worship that propels you,
  • 00:03:58.621 --> 00:04:00.323
  • And it is praise that puts a dance in your feet
  • 00:04:00.323 --> 00:04:02.959
  • On the path of righteousness that reminds you it's
  • 00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:05.928
  • Not happening for your sake.
  • 00:04:05.928 --> 00:04:07.530
  • It's not happening for your family's name's sake.
  • 00:04:07.530 --> 00:04:09.866
  • It's happening for the sake of the lord.
  • 00:04:09.866 --> 00:04:13.069
  • And that some
  • 00:04:13.436 --> 00:04:14.537
  • People fall apart, the righteous fall to their needs,
  • 00:04:14.537 --> 00:04:18.141
  • And what crushes other becomes communion for you.
  • 00:04:18.141 --> 00:04:21.744
  • When you turn back to the heart of the father.
  • 00:04:21.744 --> 00:04:25.748
  • And if hardship drives you, lord before
  • 00:04:26.516 --> 00:04:28.885
  • God, it cannot destroy you.
  • 00:04:28.885 --> 00:04:31.954
  • If hardship drives you closer to the feet of jesus,
  • 00:04:31.954 --> 00:04:34.624
  • It cannot deter you.
  • 00:04:34.624 --> 00:04:36.726
  • If hardship drives you closer to the heart of god,
  • 00:04:36.726 --> 00:04:39.962
  • It cannot stop you
  • 00:04:39.962 --> 00:04:43.066
  • And the devil.
  • 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.468
  • He pushed him down,
  • 00:04:45.468 --> 00:04:48.104
  • But heaven saw him kneeling.
  • 00:04:48.104 --> 00:04:51.674
  • And then scripture says, he cried out with a loud voice.
  • 00:04:51.674 --> 00:04:55.044
  • His final breaths were not spent in silence.
  • 00:04:55.945 --> 00:04:59.182
  • His final breaths were spent in intercession,
  • 00:05:00.149 --> 00:05:03.586
  • And the enemy would want nothing more
  • 00:05:03.586 --> 00:05:06.022
  • But you to remain silent in your pain.
  • 00:05:06.022 --> 00:05:09.692
  • But there's something that happens in the life
  • 00:05:09.692 --> 00:05:11.728
  • Of a believer
  • 00:05:11.728 --> 00:05:13.129
  • When the enemy throws his best shot, and you still praise
  • 00:05:13.129 --> 00:05:19.168
  • When the enemy throws every
  • 00:05:19.769 --> 00:05:22.004
  • Weapon in your direction and you still worship when you.
  • 00:05:22.004 --> 00:05:25.041
  • When you still remain hopeful and prayerful and faithful,
  • 00:05:25.041 --> 00:05:28.444
  • Something happens
  • 00:05:28.444 --> 00:05:29.612
  • In the life of a believer where you now become unstoppable
  • 00:05:29.612 --> 00:05:32.982
  • To the plans and the tactics and the weapons of the enemy.
  • 00:05:32.982 --> 00:05:36.486
  • Because no matter what he's done,
  • 00:05:36.486 --> 00:05:38.354
  • No matter what he is doing, it is not deterred
  • 00:05:38.354 --> 00:05:41.023
  • You from believing that jesus is still the king of kings
  • 00:05:41.023 --> 00:05:44.560
  • And the lord of lords,
  • 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.431
  • And so stones hit his body, but they could not touch his voice.
  • 00:05:48.431 --> 00:05:52.435
  • They could wound his flesh, but they could not mute his spirit.
  • 00:05:52.435 --> 00:05:55.772
  • And you're loudest testimony.
  • 00:05:55.772 --> 00:05:57.507
  • Hear me may be from your hardest season.
  • 00:05:57.507 --> 00:06:01.477
  • Your loudest. hallelujah.
  • 00:06:02.044 --> 00:06:03.613
  • Your loudest. amen.
  • 00:06:03.613 --> 00:06:04.981
  • May be from the depths of your pain.
  • 00:06:04.981 --> 00:06:07.083
  • It may be from the depths of chaos and calamity.
  • 00:06:07.083 --> 00:06:10.586
  • It may be from
  • 00:06:10.586 --> 00:06:11.788
  • The depths of pressure and pain presented to you by life.
  • 00:06:11.788 --> 00:06:16.025
  • And what we have to understand
  • 00:06:16.626 --> 00:06:18.194
  • Is that hell loves quiet pain.
  • 00:06:18.194 --> 00:06:22.632
  • But heaven,
  • 00:06:22.965 --> 00:06:24.867
  • Heaven honors loud faith that will stand flat
  • 00:06:24.867 --> 00:06:29.172
  • Footed in the face of the devil and say, i ain't afraid of you.
  • 00:06:29.172 --> 00:06:32.875
  • Who are you to me?
  • 00:06:33.309 --> 00:06:36.412
  • See the problem with some of us?
  • 00:06:36.412 --> 00:06:37.580
  • We too scattered the devil.
  • 00:06:37.580 --> 00:06:42.051
  • Too afraid of him.
  • 00:06:42.485 --> 00:06:43.553
  • We have forgotten that the enemy is a defeated foe.
  • 00:06:43.553 --> 00:06:47.990
  • We've completely forgotten that the enemy is a created being.
  • 00:06:49.192 --> 00:06:54.197
  • He has no authority.
  • 00:06:54.197 --> 00:06:55.832
  • He has no power.
  • 00:06:55.832 --> 00:06:57.366
  • The only thing that he has is what you give him.
  • 00:06:57.366 --> 00:07:00.403
  • When he screams at you.
  • 00:07:00.403 --> 00:07:01.838
  • And you start believing the lie of the enemy.
  • 00:07:01.838 --> 00:07:05.041
  • But i wonder by talking to anybody right now.
  • 00:07:05.041 --> 00:07:10.613
  • That ain't afraid.
  • 00:07:11.047 --> 00:07:11.948
  • And no smoke with the devil.
  • 00:07:11.948 --> 00:07:13.783
  • I ain't afraid of no demon.
  • 00:07:13.783 --> 00:07:15.585
  • I ain't afraid of no if, as a matter of fact, if i see you.
  • 00:07:15.585 --> 00:07:19.288
  • You got to flee.
  • 00:07:19.288 --> 00:07:20.389
  • Because i come in the name of the lord.
  • 00:07:20.389 --> 00:07:24.193
  • And the word of god says that
  • 00:07:24.827 --> 00:07:27.597
  • At the very mention of that name every knee will bow,
  • 00:07:27.597 --> 00:07:32.668
  • And every tongue will proclaim that
  • 00:07:32.668 --> 00:07:35.505
  • Jesus christ is.
  • 00:07:35.505 --> 00:07:38.875
  • Everybody can get smoked,
  • 00:07:38.875 --> 00:07:41.944
  • Every demon can get it, every can give it.
  • 00:07:42.812 --> 00:07:46.849
  • Everybody can get what the word of god says
  • 00:07:46.849 --> 00:07:51.420
  • If they don't come in the name of the lord.
  • 00:07:51.420 --> 00:07:55.625
  • Title week.
  • 00:07:55.958 --> 00:07:56.826
  • Christians.
  • 00:07:56.826 --> 00:07:59.195
  • We ain't raising no spiritually self believers,
  • 00:07:59.195 --> 00:08:02.965
  • No spiritual punks.
  • 00:08:03.432 --> 00:08:06.402
  • We stand ten toes down to the word of god
  • 00:08:06.402 --> 00:08:09.972
  • With our chest poked out with thy hands
  • 00:08:10.773 --> 00:08:14.143
  • Crossed, wishing the devil would try to point
  • 00:08:14.143 --> 00:08:18.481
  • A weapon at us for the weapons of our warfare.
  • 00:08:18.481 --> 00:08:22.318
  • They are mighty through god for the pulling down a stronghold.
  • 00:08:22.318 --> 00:08:27.890
  • Half five your neighbor,
  • 00:08:28.424 --> 00:08:29.492
  • Tell your neighbor i ain't never scared.
  • 00:08:29.492 --> 00:08:39.068
  • What you scared of the devil for?
  • 00:08:39.802 --> 00:08:46.576
  • What can he do?
  • 00:08:46.943 --> 00:08:59.522
  • Well, pastor.
  • 00:08:59.889 --> 00:09:01.724
  • Pastor, i've been.
  • 00:09:01.724 --> 00:09:04.260
  • I've been diagnosed.
  • 00:09:04.260 --> 00:09:05.328
  • And i'm afraid even that name
  • 00:09:05.328 --> 00:09:08.431
  • Bows to the name of jesus.
  • 00:09:08.431 --> 00:09:14.737
  • Cancer will bow to the name of jesus.
  • 00:09:15.471 --> 00:09:18.708
  • Diabetes will bow to the name jesus.
  • 00:09:18.708 --> 00:09:22.144
  • High cholesterol will bow to the name jesus.
  • 00:09:22.144 --> 00:09:25.681
  • Abri knee
  • 00:09:25.982 --> 00:09:28.484
  • Will bow, and every tongue
  • 00:09:28.484 --> 00:09:31.487
  • Shall confess that jesus christ is lord.
  • 00:09:31.487 --> 00:09:35.491
  • Ain't no sickness
  • 00:09:35.491 --> 00:09:36.692
  • Disease infirmary more powerful than the name of jesus.
  • 00:09:36.692 --> 00:09:40.630
  • So whenever you are presented with diagnosisges and
  • 00:09:40.630 --> 00:09:44.133
  • And with things that don't align with what god has told you
  • 00:09:44.133 --> 00:09:47.503
  • In his word, just speak the name jesus.
  • 00:09:47.503 --> 00:09:54.810
  • Hell loves quiet pain,
  • 00:09:55.277 --> 00:09:58.481
  • But heaven honors loud faith.
  • 00:09:58.481 --> 00:10:02.985
  • Point number two is this when you fear
  • 00:10:03.786 --> 00:10:06.155
  • God rightly, you stop feeling people wrongly.
  • 00:10:06.155 --> 00:10:11.594
  • Lesser fears die in the
  • 00:10:12.128 --> 00:10:13.629
  • Presence of greater reverence.
  • 00:10:13.629 --> 00:10:16.732
  • When you get a revelation of who
  • 00:10:16.732 --> 00:10:18.501
  • Jesus actually is, you ain't afraid of nothing.
  • 00:10:18.501 --> 00:10:22.304
  • How can the enemy tempt you
  • 00:10:22.905 --> 00:10:24.607
  • With fear when you know who jesus is to you?
  • 00:10:24.607 --> 00:10:27.977
  • All fear is related to death.
  • 00:10:28.611 --> 00:10:31.547
  • Every single one of them.
  • 00:10:31.547 --> 00:10:33.082
  • No matter what the fear is, you're afraid of flying.
  • 00:10:33.082 --> 00:10:35.718
  • The reason you're flying around
  • 00:10:35.718 --> 00:10:36.952
  • Is because you think the plane's going to crash and you go die.
  • 00:10:36.952 --> 00:10:40.256
  • You're afraid you're driving.
  • 00:10:40.890 --> 00:10:41.891
  • The reason you're afraid of driving
  • 00:10:41.891 --> 00:10:43.092
  • Is because you think you'll get in the car accident and die.
  • 00:10:43.092 --> 00:10:46.328
  • You're afraid of spiders because you believe a spiders
  • 00:10:46.328 --> 00:10:48.464
  • Don't bite you and you're going to die.
  • 00:10:48.464 --> 00:10:51.600
  • All fear is connected to death.
  • 00:10:52.234 --> 00:10:56.172
  • How can you be fearful when you know that
  • 00:10:56.172 --> 00:10:59.542
  • You have eternal life?
  • 00:10:59.542 --> 00:11:08.084
  • Men and women become
  • 00:11:08.551 --> 00:11:09.852
  • Smaller when god becomes clear.
  • 00:11:09.852 --> 00:11:13.989
  • The one who bows before
  • 00:11:14.490 --> 00:11:15.691
  • God rarely bows before pressure.
  • 00:11:15.691 --> 00:11:19.962
  • And so when you fear god rightly,
  • 00:11:19.962 --> 00:11:22.798
  • You stop fearing people wrongly.
  • 00:11:22.798 --> 00:11:25.835
  • And death can close your eyes, but
  • 00:11:26.602 --> 00:11:28.771
  • It cannot close your destiny.
  • 00:11:28.771 --> 00:11:31.841
  • And the reality of stephen's lif is they buried a body,
  • 00:11:31.841 --> 00:11:35.111
  • But they did not bury a promise.
  • 00:11:35.111 --> 00:11:38.247
  • Acts chapter one starts off by saying saul
  • 00:11:38.247 --> 00:11:40.683
  • Was in hearty agreement with putting him to death.
  • 00:11:40.683 --> 00:11:44.553
  • Saul approves this murder, but god already sees
  • 00:11:44.553 --> 00:11:48.891
  • A missionary in saul.
  • 00:11:48.891 --> 00:11:52.027
  • The man endorsing darkness
  • 00:11:52.027 --> 00:11:53.829
  • Is one encounter away from carrying light.
  • 00:11:53.829 --> 00:11:58.334
  • Hear me.
  • 00:11:58.601 --> 00:11:59.869
  • Stephen's mercy.
  • 00:11:59.869 --> 00:12:01.403
  • It likely haunted saul
  • 00:12:01.403 --> 00:12:03.072
  • Until he had an encounter with jesus christ.
  • 00:12:03.072 --> 00:12:06.942
  • And the reality of this, what this teaches us is that god
  • 00:12:08.043 --> 00:12:11.680
  • Can save the person currently clapping for what broke you.
  • 00:12:11.680 --> 00:12:16.585
  • Now, here's a deeper question.
  • 00:12:17.186 --> 00:12:20.589
  • Will you celebrate that?
  • 00:12:20.589 --> 00:12:23.659
  • Because we all like to celebrate
  • 00:12:24.293 --> 00:12:25.795
  • The downfall of our haters.
  • 00:12:25.795 --> 00:12:28.964
  • But what if god grabs a hold of their heart in terms
  • 00:12:28.964 --> 00:12:31.367
  • Him back to them,
  • 00:12:31.367 --> 00:12:32.401
  • And they become one of the loudest voices
  • 00:12:32.401 --> 00:12:36.305
  • For the gospel of jesus christ that humanity has ever seen?
  • 00:12:36.305 --> 00:12:40.676
  • Will you celebrate that?
  • 00:12:40.676 --> 00:12:42.878
  • Or will you say why?
  • 00:12:42.878 --> 00:12:44.413
  • Why god using them?
  • 00:12:44.413 --> 00:12:47.817
  • Don't he know what they did to me?
  • 00:12:48.551 --> 00:12:50.920
  • Don't you know how they talk about me?
  • 00:12:50.920 --> 00:12:52.154
  • Don't he know how they treat me?
  • 00:12:52.154 --> 00:12:55.324
  • So we don't mind celebrating?
  • 00:12:55.958 --> 00:12:57.393
  • Oh, they fail good enough for him.
  • 00:12:57.393 --> 00:12:59.428
  • I knew it did.
  • 00:12:59.428 --> 00:13:01.263
  • I predicted, it. didn't
  • 00:13:01.263 --> 00:13:02.531
  • I predict it g? i told you it was going to happen.
  • 00:13:02.531 --> 00:13:04.900
  • Didn't it happen?
  • 00:13:04.900 --> 00:13:05.901
  • It happened, didn█t it.
  • 00:13:05.901 --> 00:13:07.036
  • We don't mind celebrating that.
  • 00:13:07.036 --> 00:13:09.638
  • But the moment they repent, they turn back to jesus
  • 00:13:09.638 --> 00:13:12.541
  • Christ and god starts using them. we don't like that.
  • 00:13:12.541 --> 00:13:16.478
  • Because we like to promote our name
  • 00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.048
  • Higher than the name of jesus.
  • 00:13:19.048 --> 00:13:22.885
  • And it's not until you can surrender your identity,
  • 00:13:23.886 --> 00:13:27.189
  • Your influence, your will, your wants, and allow god to do
  • 00:13:27.189 --> 00:13:31.961
  • What god does, even if it's in the life
  • 00:13:31.961 --> 00:13:33.762
  • Of your enemy, and use them in a great way
  • 00:13:33.762 --> 00:13:35.865
  • When they return back to jesus christ.
  • 00:13:35.865 --> 00:13:37.466
  • That you understand that you're actually maturing in christ.
  • 00:13:37.466 --> 00:13:44.039
  • And so never assume
  • 00:13:44.506 --> 00:13:47.443
  • That an enemy is beyond an encounter with jesus
  • 00:13:47.443 --> 00:13:51.814
  • And the loudest critic,
  • 00:13:52.314 --> 00:13:54.583
  • It may become the boldest preacher.
  • 00:13:54.583 --> 00:13:58.721
  • That happened in saul's life.
  • 00:13:59.355 --> 00:14:01.590
  • Scripture says he stood back.
  • 00:14:01.590 --> 00:14:04.526
  • He watched him stone.
  • 00:14:04.526 --> 00:14:05.594
  • Stephen.
  • 00:14:05.594 --> 00:14:07.997
  • Stephen gazes fixed on heaven.
  • 00:14:07.997 --> 00:14:09.832
  • He saw the glory of god.
  • 00:14:09.832 --> 00:14:11.000
  • He saw the son of man standing at the right hand of god.
  • 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.068
  • And i believe this haunted saul until he turned his heart over
  • 00:14:13.068 --> 00:14:17.039
  • To jesus.
  • 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.541
  • Look at how god sees us.
  • 00:14:20.075 --> 00:14:21.410
  • Think about this.
  • 00:14:21.410 --> 00:14:23.879
  • We're men and women see attackers.
  • 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.081
  • God sees apostles.
  • 00:14:26.081 --> 00:14:31.153
  • Did you hear what i say?
  • 00:14:31.687 --> 00:14:34.189
  • Where we see attackers in this passage,
  • 00:14:34.189 --> 00:14:37.226
  • God sees beyond that, and he sees an apostle
  • 00:14:37.226 --> 00:14:41.230
  • That will write a great majority of the new testament.
  • 00:14:41.230 --> 00:14:44.366
  • This does not happen if stephen does not live out
  • 00:14:44.366 --> 00:14:48.470
  • His final breaths with the integrity and character
  • 00:14:48.470 --> 00:14:52.308
  • That only the holy spirit can give.
  • 00:14:52.308 --> 00:14:55.477
  • And on that day a great persecution
  • 00:14:55.477 --> 00:14:58.147
  • Began and the enemy thought pressure would stop the church.
  • 00:14:58.147 --> 00:15:01.483
  • Instead, pressure spread the church.
  • 00:15:01.483 --> 00:15:05.387
  • Your greatest witness, your your greatest tenacity,
  • 00:15:05.387 --> 00:15:08.557
  • Your greatest faithfulness won't be found in great seasons.
  • 00:15:08.557 --> 00:15:12.594
  • They will be found in seasons of pain and seasons of confusion
  • 00:15:12.594 --> 00:15:16.966
  • And seasons of persecution and seasons of chaos.
  • 00:15:16.966 --> 00:15:19.835
  • Because those things
  • 00:15:19.835 --> 00:15:21.170
  • Are utilized as tools to push you back to the feet of jesus.
  • 00:15:21.170 --> 00:15:24.840
  • And what attacks the church is often what advances the church.
  • 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:30.946
  • If we look at the life of
  • 00:15:31.513 --> 00:15:32.581
  • Stephen, we see something so profound is that it
  • 00:15:32.581 --> 00:15:35.751
  • Models true grace and mercy and and faithfulness and longevity.
  • 00:15:35.751 --> 00:15:40.255
  • Even as he is dying to the life of saul.
  • 00:15:40.255 --> 00:15:42.992
  • It says they were all scattered throughout judea and samaria.
  • 00:15:42.992 --> 00:15:46.628
  • Now, i want you to underline this, because this again
  • 00:15:46.628 --> 00:15:49.331
  • Is very intentional by luke.
  • 00:15:49.331 --> 00:15:51.433
  • Luke does not say that they were just going to certain cities.
  • 00:15:51.433 --> 00:15:54.536
  • He gives specific cities that they are going to.
  • 00:15:54.536 --> 00:15:56.972
  • And we have seen these cities before.
  • 00:15:56.972 --> 00:16:00.175
  • Acts chapter eight, verse one.
  • 00:16:00.175 --> 00:16:01.844
  • It says they were all scattered throughout judea and samaria.
  • 00:16:01.844 --> 00:16:04.847
  • They were in jerusalem.
  • 00:16:04.847 --> 00:16:06.949
  • Where have we seen this before?
  • 00:16:06.949 --> 00:16:08.350
  • Acts chapter one, verse eight, acts chapter one.
  • 00:16:08.350 --> 00:16:11.487
  • Verse eight says,
  • 00:16:11.487 --> 00:16:12.421
  • You will receive power when the holy spirit
  • 00:16:12.421 --> 00:16:14.156
  • Has come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses,
  • 00:16:14.156 --> 00:16:16.925
  • Both in jerusalem and in all judea and samaria,
  • 00:16:16.925 --> 00:16:21.063
  • And as far as the remotest parts of the earth.
  • 00:16:21.063 --> 00:16:25.134
  • So acts chapter one, verse eight is the promise.
  • 00:16:25.134 --> 00:16:29.204
  • Acts chapter
  • 00:16:29.538 --> 00:16:30.372
  • Eight, verse one is the push.
  • 00:16:30.372 --> 00:16:34.510
  • Did you hear me?
  • 00:16:34.910 --> 00:16:36.578
  • Acts chapter
  • 00:16:36.578 --> 00:16:37.846
  • One, verse eight is the promise, the promise given from jesus.
  • 00:16:37.846 --> 00:16:40.416
  • These are jesus last words here on earth.
  • 00:16:40.416 --> 00:16:43.185
  • To the disciples you will receive power
  • 00:16:43.185 --> 00:16:45.454
  • After the holy spirit has come upon you.
  • 00:16:45.454 --> 00:16:47.423
  • This power is given to you,
  • 00:16:47.423 --> 00:16:48.891
  • Not for you to roll around on the floor,
  • 00:16:48.891 --> 00:16:50.659
  • Not for you to cry, not for you to sweat,
  • 00:16:50.659 --> 00:16:52.694
  • Not for you to shout, not for you to sing.
  • 00:16:52.694 --> 00:16:54.630
  • It's given to you. for you to be a witness.
  • 00:16:54.630 --> 00:16:56.432
  • And look at what they do.
  • 00:16:56.432 --> 00:16:57.666
  • They stay stuck for seven chapters.
  • 00:16:57.666 --> 00:17:01.437
  • Why did they stay stuck for seven chapters?
  • 00:17:02.337 --> 00:17:04.873
  • They remained in the place
  • 00:17:04.873 --> 00:17:06.975
  • That they experienced revival and they wanted to stay there.
  • 00:17:06.975 --> 00:17:13.449
  • And scripture doesn't say
  • 00:17:14.016 --> 00:17:15.584
  • That jesus commanded them, you stay where you receive.
  • 00:17:15.584 --> 00:17:19.421
  • No, he says, my spirit is going to fall on you.
  • 00:17:19.421 --> 00:17:23.325
  • And when my spirit falls on you, it is falling on you to
  • 00:17:23.325 --> 00:17:27.229
  • Become a witness.
  • 00:17:27.229 --> 00:17:29.498
  • That is the promise that jesus made to them.
  • 00:17:29.498 --> 00:17:32.101
  • But look at the push.
  • 00:17:32.101 --> 00:17:33.535
  • The push was not breakthrough.
  • 00:17:33.535 --> 00:17:35.370
  • The push was not blessing.
  • 00:17:35.370 --> 00:17:36.939
  • The push was not heaven
  • 00:17:36.939 --> 00:17:38.073
  • Opening up and money falling from the sky.
  • 00:17:38.073 --> 00:17:40.275
  • The push was not prosperity gospel.
  • 00:17:40.275 --> 00:17:42.444
  • The push was not.
  • 00:17:42.444 --> 00:17:43.378
  • You're going to be blessed in your ingoing
  • 00:17:43.378 --> 00:17:44.813
  • And blessed in your outgoing.
  • 00:17:44.813 --> 00:17:46.215
  • The push was persecution
  • 00:17:46.215 --> 00:17:49.751
  • Because nothing pushes you like persecution.
  • 00:17:49.751 --> 00:17:53.722
  • And have you ever noticed the only people that are
  • 00:17:54.756 --> 00:17:56.625
  • Being persecuted are those that have a promise.
  • 00:17:56.625 --> 00:18:01.930
  • So in acts chapter one, verse eight, you shall receive power.
  • 00:18:03.132 --> 00:18:05.501
  • After that
  • 00:18:05.501 --> 00:18:06.301
  • The holy spirit has come upon you,
  • 00:18:06.301 --> 00:18:06.935
  • And you shall be witnesses
  • 00:18:06.935 --> 00:18:07.836
  • In jerusalem and judea and samaria,
  • 00:18:07.836 --> 00:18:09.538
  • And into the uttermost parts of the earth.
  • 00:18:09.538 --> 00:18:11.106
  • In acts chapter eight, verse one says that you.
  • 00:18:11.106 --> 00:18:17.112
  • You were scattered.
  • 00:18:17.579 --> 00:18:20.716
  • You have to leave jerusalem.
  • 00:18:20.716 --> 00:18:22.684
  • And the regions that i'm sending you is judea and samaria.
  • 00:18:22.684 --> 00:18:27.389
  • What happens?
  • 00:18:27.756 --> 00:18:29.124
  • Jesus gave the map in chapter one.
  • 00:18:29.124 --> 00:18:32.461
  • Persecution moved them into becoming
  • 00:18:32.461 --> 00:18:34.730
  • The people that god had already predestined for them to become.
  • 00:18:34.730 --> 00:18:38.033
  • So jesus didn't lay hands on them and say, now go!
  • 00:18:38.033 --> 00:18:42.538
  • Jesus gave them a promise and persecution.
  • 00:18:42.538 --> 00:18:45.541
  • Push them into the promise that jesus had gave them.
  • 00:18:45.541 --> 00:18:50.045
  • Seven chapters with the church largely remained
  • 00:18:50.979 --> 00:18:54.950
  • Centered in jerusalem until persecution hit,
  • 00:18:54.950 --> 00:18:59.855
  • Which teaches us a valuable lesson
  • 00:19:00.622 --> 00:19:04.092
  • The gospel is not maturing you
  • 00:19:04.092 --> 00:19:08.230
  • Until it reaches people your flesh would never reach.
  • 00:19:08.230 --> 00:19:13.669
  • The gospel is not maturing you
  • 00:19:14.269 --> 00:19:16.205
  • Until it reaches people your flesh would avoid.
  • 00:19:16.205 --> 00:19:21.043
  • Stephan is martyred.
  • 00:19:21.510 --> 00:19:22.978
  • Persecution breaks out.
  • 00:19:22.978 --> 00:19:24.580
  • Believers scatter into the exact locations
  • 00:19:24.580 --> 00:19:27.416
  • That jesus named the stones of acts.
  • 00:19:27.416 --> 00:19:30.652
  • Chapter seven became the scattering
  • 00:19:30.652 --> 00:19:32.454
  • Seeds for acts chapter eight.
  • 00:19:32.454 --> 00:19:35.757
  • Are you listening to me?
  • 00:19:36.291 --> 00:19:39.695
  • And so what you think is the devil?
  • 00:19:39.695 --> 00:19:43.265
  • Maybe, in fact, god ordering
  • 00:19:43.265 --> 00:19:45.267
  • Your steps.
  • 00:19:45.267 --> 00:19:50.339
  • Would you keep blaming the enemy for maybe, in fact,
  • 00:19:51.373 --> 00:19:54.876
  • God answering the prayers you've been praying?
  • 00:19:54.876 --> 00:19:58.513
  • God, i'm ready for increase.
  • 00:19:59.114 --> 00:20:00.949
  • Well, can you handle a little bit of affliction?
  • 00:20:00.949 --> 00:20:05.787
  • God, i'm ready for promotion,
  • 00:20:06.421 --> 00:20:07.823
  • But can you handle a little bit of pushing?
  • 00:20:07.823 --> 00:20:12.427
  • And it is possible.
  • 00:20:12.894 --> 00:20:14.062
  • The very place you desire to run from
  • 00:20:14.062 --> 00:20:16.064
  • Is the very place that jesus is ours to do.
  • 00:20:16.064 --> 00:20:18.100
  • The miracle that you've been asking him to do.
  • 00:20:18.100 --> 00:20:25.574
  • According to scripture,
  • 00:20:26.074 --> 00:20:27.175
  • The assignment was never to stay where revival begin,
  • 00:20:27.175 --> 00:20:30.846
  • And oftentimes in my own life, god allows discomfort
  • 00:20:30.846 --> 00:20:34.716
  • Where i have become stagnant to push me into destiny.
  • 00:20:34.716 --> 00:20:39.788
  • And when my obedience delays,
  • 00:20:40.422 --> 00:20:43.091
  • Pressure arrives.
  • 00:20:43.091 --> 00:20:47.062
  • And god used persecution to accomplish
  • 00:20:47.896 --> 00:20:49.965
  • What comfort was postponing.
  • 00:20:49.965 --> 00:20:53.168
  • And here we are praying for protection.
  • 00:20:53.969 --> 00:20:57.306
  • While god is planning expansion.
  • 00:20:57.306 --> 00:21:07.015
  • Jerusalem
  • 00:21:07.316 --> 00:21:08.016
  • Was the birthplace, of revival.
  • 00:21:08.016 --> 00:21:11.520
  • It wasn't the boundary.
  • 00:21:12.020 --> 00:21:15.190
  • Jesus did not say to the disciples in acts chapter
  • 00:21:15.190 --> 00:21:17.726
  • One, verse eight, when you receive this power,
  • 00:21:17.726 --> 00:21:19.828
  • I want you to stay here.
  • 00:21:19.828 --> 00:21:20.929
  • Talk amongst yourselves, talk about the glory days.
  • 00:21:20.929 --> 00:21:22.898
  • Talk about what you've seen.
  • 00:21:22.898 --> 00:21:23.932
  • Talk about what you've heard.
  • 00:21:23.932 --> 00:21:25.033
  • Talk about what's happened in this room.
  • 00:21:25.033 --> 00:21:26.335
  • And y'all just keep talking about it.
  • 00:21:26.335 --> 00:21:28.637
  • So he says, become witnesses.
  • 00:21:29.271 --> 00:21:33.208
  • You've seen what i've done.
  • 00:21:33.809 --> 00:21:34.910
  • You've heard what i've done.
  • 00:21:34.910 --> 00:21:35.911
  • You've experienced what i've done.
  • 00:21:35.911 --> 00:21:37.045
  • Now go tell other people about it.
  • 00:21:37.045 --> 00:21:38.447
  • And i want you to go into judea, and i want you
  • 00:21:38.447 --> 00:21:41.450
  • To go into samaria.
  • 00:21:41.450 --> 00:21:42.417
  • Why are these cities important?
  • 00:21:42.417 --> 00:21:43.618
  • Because these cities represented opposition against jews
  • 00:21:43.618 --> 00:21:46.355
  • Who were the primary audience that jesus was talking to.
  • 00:21:46.355 --> 00:21:49.391
  • So he's telling them, i'm going to send you into persecution.
  • 00:21:49.391 --> 00:21:52.728
  • We forget that it was the spirit of god
  • 00:21:52.728 --> 00:21:56.031
  • That led jesus into the wilderness.
  • 00:21:56.031 --> 00:21:59.234
  • Not the devil, not the enemy, not demon.
  • 00:21:59.234 --> 00:22:02.337
  • It was the spirit of god that led him into the wilderness.
  • 00:22:02.337 --> 00:22:05.507
  • And here we are,
  • 00:22:05.507 --> 00:22:06.742
  • Running away from the wilderness that jesus is leading us into,
  • 00:22:06.742 --> 00:22:10.045
  • So that we can actually hear his voice and experience
  • 00:22:10.045 --> 00:22:13.048
  • His presence like never before.
  • 00:22:13.048 --> 00:22:17.819
  • And stephen, he models
  • 00:22:18.286 --> 00:22:20.422
  • The life of jesus so well for us, and he gives us
  • 00:22:20.422 --> 00:22:24.326
  • Such a vivid image of what can happen to a man
  • 00:22:24.326 --> 00:22:28.096
  • Just like you and me.
  • 00:22:28.096 --> 00:22:30.132
  • If we remain faithful to the things
  • 00:22:30.132 --> 00:22:32.100
  • That jesus desires for us, because it's easy for us to say
  • 00:22:32.100 --> 00:22:34.970
  • We're not jesus.
  • 00:22:34.970 --> 00:22:35.937
  • We're not perfect.
  • 00:22:35.937 --> 00:22:36.972
  • Jesus was without spot or blemish. he didn't sin.
  • 00:22:36.972 --> 00:22:39.674
  • He knew no wrong. we could easily say that.
  • 00:22:39.674 --> 00:22:41.877
  • But we can say that about stephen.
  • 00:22:41.877 --> 00:22:45.981
  • He was a man.
  • 00:22:46.348 --> 00:22:50.318
  • And yet, and still his perspective
  • 00:22:51.052 --> 00:22:52.454
  • Was at the end of his life.
  • 00:22:52.454 --> 00:22:53.488
  • If he stone me, i will praise him.
  • 00:22:53.488 --> 00:22:58.093
  • If you kill me,
  • 00:22:58.460 --> 00:23:00.028
  • My bones will speak of his faithfulness.
  • 00:23:00.028 --> 00:23:03.064
  • The scripture teaches us he knew the word.
  • 00:23:03.965 --> 00:23:07.135
  • We know that he knew the word because acts chapter seven
  • 00:23:07.135 --> 00:23:09.571
  • Is the longest recorded message,
  • 00:23:09.571 --> 00:23:11.139
  • The longest recorded sermon in the acts of the apostles.
  • 00:23:11.139 --> 00:23:14.009
  • And it is all him
  • 00:23:14.009 --> 00:23:15.410
  • Taking them back through a journey of what
  • 00:23:15.410 --> 00:23:17.712
  • The patriarchs and the matriarchs did.
  • 00:23:17.712 --> 00:23:19.714
  • And in this cycle of getting from god
  • 00:23:19.714 --> 00:23:22.684
  • And then rebelling against god.
  • 00:23:22.684 --> 00:23:25.821
  • And so i believe that as he's receiving these boulders
  • 00:23:25.821 --> 00:23:29.257
  • Against his head, and as he's taking his final
  • 00:23:29.257 --> 00:23:31.493
  • Breaths, he's remembering the word of god.
  • 00:23:31.493 --> 00:23:33.061
  • And if you're going to make it in this life,
  • 00:23:33.061 --> 00:23:34.729
  • You're going to have to remember the word of god as as you are
  • 00:23:34.729 --> 00:23:38.567
  • Being pressured and as you are experiencing
  • 00:23:38.567 --> 00:23:40.268
  • Pain, you're going to have to remember the word of god.
  • 00:23:40.268 --> 00:23:42.471
  • And i just want to encourage you with the word of god.
  • 00:23:42.471 --> 00:23:44.573
  • Psalm 27 verse one says, the lord is my light
  • 00:23:44.573 --> 00:23:47.476
  • And my salvation, whom shall i fear?
  • 00:23:47.476 --> 00:23:50.045
  • And this passage it depicts for us
  • 00:23:50.045 --> 00:23:52.047
  • The life of seven in the old
  • 00:23:52.047 --> 00:23:53.448
  • Testament, unlike anything else we see,
  • 00:23:53.448 --> 00:23:55.884
  • The lord is the strength of my life.
  • 00:23:55.884 --> 00:23:57.652
  • Of whom shall i be afraid when the it wicked,
  • 00:23:57.652 --> 00:24:00.789
  • Even my enemies and my foes came upon me to eat up my flesh,
  • 00:24:00.789 --> 00:24:04.326
  • They stumbled, and they fell.
  • 00:24:04.326 --> 00:24:05.861
  • And though
  • 00:24:05.861 --> 00:24:07.028
  • A whole shall encamp against me, my heart shall not fear.
  • 00:24:07.028 --> 00:24:10.165
  • The war should rise against me.
  • 00:24:10.165 --> 00:24:12.234
  • In this i will be confident.
  • 00:24:12.234 --> 00:24:15.904
  • One thing,
  • 00:24:16.204 --> 00:24:17.272
  • Not many things, one thing, not multiple things.
  • 00:24:17.272 --> 00:24:20.308
  • One thing have i desired of the lord
  • 00:24:20.308 --> 00:24:23.745
  • That i will seek after, that i may dwell
  • 00:24:23.745 --> 00:24:27.382
  • In the house of the lord all the days of my life,
  • 00:24:27.382 --> 00:24:32.153
  • To behold the beauty of the lord,
  • 00:24:32.888 --> 00:24:34.489
  • And to inquire in his temple.
  • 00:24:34.489 --> 00:24:36.791
  • Psalms 34
  • 00:24:36.791 --> 00:24:37.692
  • Verse 19 says, many
  • 00:24:37.692 --> 00:24:39.227
  • Are the afflictions of the righteous,
  • 00:24:39.227 --> 00:24:40.595
  • But the lord delivers them out of them all.
  • 00:24:40.595 --> 00:24:43.164
  • First peter chapter five verse ten says, after you have
  • 00:24:43.164 --> 00:24:46.902
  • Suffered for a little while, it won't always be like this.
  • 00:24:46.902 --> 00:24:53.275
  • After you have suffered yet for a little while.
  • 00:24:53.275 --> 00:24:57.245
  • I know it seems like it's been years and years and years,
  • 00:24:57.245 --> 00:25:00.248
  • But in the scheme of eternity, it's just been a little while.
  • 00:25:00.248 --> 00:25:03.618
  • And after you have suffered for a little while, he himself
  • 00:25:03.618 --> 00:25:08.890
  • Will restore.
  • 00:25:08.890 --> 00:25:10.825
  • I know some of you are like god, when will this season change?
  • 00:25:12.027 --> 00:25:15.430
  • And when will this pain come to an end?
  • 00:25:15.430 --> 00:25:18.133
  • And when will this pressure let up?
  • 00:25:18.133 --> 00:25:19.868
  • And my response would be what if it doesn't?
  • 00:25:19.868 --> 00:25:23.138
  • What if he joins you in the middle of it
  • 00:25:23.138 --> 00:25:25.140
  • And you get stronger to stuart these seasons, better than
  • 00:25:25.140 --> 00:25:28.677
  • The last season of your life?
  • 00:25:28.677 --> 00:25:30.612
  • What i've come to learn
  • 00:25:30.612 --> 00:25:31.913
  • And love about jesus is oftentimes
  • 00:25:31.913 --> 00:25:33.982
  • When he doesn't pull me out of a situation, he joins me
  • 00:25:33.982 --> 00:25:37.586
  • In the middle of that situation and i am strengthened,
  • 00:25:37.586 --> 00:25:40.956
  • And i leave that season stronger than the way i entered it.
  • 00:25:40.956 --> 00:25:45.260
  • My prayer is that for you today,
  • 00:25:45.260 --> 00:25:46.861
  • If you find yourself in a season of pain and there is no light
  • 00:25:46.861 --> 00:25:51.299
  • At the end of the tunnel that you can see,
  • 00:25:51.299 --> 00:25:53.034
  • I want to remind you of the light of the world.
  • 00:25:53.034 --> 00:25:55.470
  • I want to remind you of the king of glory.
  • 00:25:55.470 --> 00:25:57.372
  • I want to remind you that his grace is sufficient for you,
  • 00:25:57.372 --> 00:26:00.875
  • No matter what season you find yourself in.
  • 00:26:00.875 --> 00:26:03.244
  • And so today,
  • 00:26:03.244 --> 00:26:04.512
  • My prayer for you is that you will anchor your hope
  • 00:26:04.512 --> 00:26:07.649
  • In your faith in jesus christ, not in the outcome, but in him.
  • 00:26:07.649 --> 00:26:12.053
  • Because with him the word of god teaches us all
  • 00:26:12.053 --> 00:26:15.056
  • Things are possible for those that believe.
  • 00:26:15.056 --> 00:26:19.027
  • I want to
  • 00:26:19.327 --> 00:26:20.395
  • I want you to know that no matter where you are,
  • 00:26:20.395 --> 00:26:23.164
  • No matter where you find
  • 00:26:23.164 --> 00:26:24.165
  • Yourself in today, that his faith for your life
  • 00:26:24.165 --> 00:26:27.969
  • As it infuses your faith
  • 00:26:27.969 --> 00:26:29.738
  • And his hope for your life as it infuses your hope,
  • 00:26:29.738 --> 00:26:32.874
  • It will change your situation and your circumstance,
  • 00:26:32.874 --> 00:26:36.645
  • Even if it's just by changing your perspective, i sure do.
  • 00:26:36.645 --> 00:26:41.016
  • Thank you for tuning in and leaning in today,
  • 00:26:41.016 --> 00:26:43.385
  • And my prayer for you is that this word blessed
  • 00:26:43.385 --> 00:26:45.654
  • You and that it sticks with you, and you retain the word of god
  • 00:26:45.654 --> 00:26:49.591
  • No matter what season you find yourself in.
  • 00:26:49.591 --> 00:26:52.093
  • If you're ever in the jacksonville area,
  • 00:26:52.093 --> 00:26:53.662
  • Stop by celebration church on a sunday.
  • 00:26:53.662 --> 00:26:56.164
  • Visit us 9 a.m., 11 a.m. or 1:30
