  • 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:17.000
  • Hey, family its pastor tim
  • 00:00:17.567 --> 00:00:19.002
  • Timberlake of celebration church,
  • 00:00:19.002 --> 00:00:20.603
  • And i'm so honored and excited that you would take out the time
  • 00:00:20.603 --> 00:00:24.007
  • To lean into this broadcast today.
  • 00:00:24.007 --> 00:00:26.443
  • It's a message
  • 00:00:26.443 --> 00:00:27.577
  • That god has been stirring in my heart that i believe
  • 00:00:27.577 --> 00:00:29.779
  • Is not only going to change you, but it's going to transform
  • 00:00:29.779 --> 00:00:32.415
  • You and renew your mind through the reading of the word of god.
  • 00:00:32.415 --> 00:00:35.752
  • So i don't want to waste any time.
  • 00:00:35.752 --> 00:00:37.220
  • I want you to grab your bible,
  • 00:00:37.220 --> 00:00:38.288
  • Grab your pen, grab your notepad.
  • 00:00:38.288 --> 00:00:40.123
  • Let's go into the message as it has already begun.
  • 00:00:40.123 --> 00:00:42.525
  • Entitled power in the middle of pressure.
  • 00:00:42.525 --> 00:00:45.895
  • So we see in this text that peter and john
  • 00:00:45.895 --> 00:00:48.164
  • Are not distracted by the naysayers.
  • 00:00:48.164 --> 00:00:49.966
  • Their eyes are fixed on what jesus is actually doing,
  • 00:00:49.966 --> 00:00:52.936
  • And when their eyes are fixed on
  • 00:00:53.570 --> 00:00:54.771
  • What jesus is actually doing, it
  • 00:00:54.771 --> 00:00:56.406
  • Creates a supernatural boldness on the inside of them.
  • 00:00:56.406 --> 00:01:00.543
  • And instead of peter and john being cowards
  • 00:01:00.543 --> 00:01:03.613
  • And denying christ, they stood filled with the spirit,
  • 00:01:03.613 --> 00:01:06.749
  • Boldly proclaiming that jesus is the risen messiah.
  • 00:01:06.749 --> 00:01:11.221
  • And this text reveals a collision
  • 00:01:11.221 --> 00:01:13.523
  • Between the religious systems built on control
  • 00:01:13.523 --> 00:01:16.693
  • And manipulation, and the gospel which is built on freedom.
  • 00:01:16.693 --> 00:01:20.196
  • This text reveals to us a tension that we can discover
  • 00:01:21.231 --> 00:01:24.033
  • Today between human authority and divine power.
  • 00:01:24.033 --> 00:01:27.804
  • Which brings us to point number one.
  • 00:01:28.605 --> 00:01:30.173
  • I encourage you to write this down.
  • 00:01:30.173 --> 00:01:32.742
  • Point number one is this fear rules by threat,
  • 00:01:32.742 --> 00:01:37.280
  • Faith rules by testimony.
  • 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:41.384
  • The reality of our lives
  • 00:01:41.885 --> 00:01:43.453
  • Is this if the truth makes you nervous,
  • 00:01:43.453 --> 00:01:47.490
  • It's because your lie is already on life support.
  • 00:01:47.490 --> 00:01:52.595
  • The reason the religious
  • 00:01:53.129 --> 00:01:54.230
  • Leaders were nervous is because they understood
  • 00:01:54.230 --> 00:01:56.266
  • That their lives were on life support.
  • 00:01:56.266 --> 00:01:58.301
  • They understood that they were no longer
  • 00:01:58.301 --> 00:02:00.069
  • Going to control and manipulate people
  • 00:02:00.069 --> 00:02:01.871
  • In the way they intended to.
  • 00:02:01.871 --> 00:02:03.473
  • And so instead of trying to speak truth
  • 00:02:03.473 --> 00:02:06.142
  • Into a heart situation,
  • 00:02:06.142 --> 00:02:07.544
  • They tried
  • 00:02:07.544 --> 00:02:08.711
  • To restrain the two individuals that were speaking truth
  • 00:02:08.711 --> 00:02:10.947
  • Because they thought,
  • 00:02:10.947 --> 00:02:11.981
  • If we can
  • 00:02:11.981 --> 00:02:12.682
  • Suppress their physical body,
  • 00:02:12.682 --> 00:02:14.417
  • We can also suppress their message.
  • 00:02:14.417 --> 00:02:16.252
  • And the reality is, we learned this last week.
  • 00:02:16.252 --> 00:02:19.189
  • You can restrain the messenger, but you cannot restrict
  • 00:02:19.189 --> 00:02:22.025
  • The message.
  • 00:02:22.025 --> 00:02:23.393
  • The gospel of jesus christ will continue to be preached
  • 00:02:23.393 --> 00:02:26.329
  • Regardless of if your physical body is being restrained or not.
  • 00:02:26.329 --> 00:02:30.066
  • I love the books that paul writes
  • 00:02:30.066 --> 00:02:32.068
  • Because paul writes
  • 00:02:32.068 --> 00:02:33.303
  • Most of those books, restrained and tied to a guard in prison.
  • 00:02:33.303 --> 00:02:37.707
  • And it does not stop him
  • 00:02:37.707 --> 00:02:39.075
  • From getting the message of jesus christ into the hands
  • 00:02:39.075 --> 00:02:41.878
  • And to the churches of the people that need it.
  • 00:02:41.878 --> 00:02:43.613
  • So regardless
  • 00:02:43.613 --> 00:02:44.747
  • Of what's happening around you, it should not control
  • 00:02:44.747 --> 00:02:47.217
  • What god is doing on the inside of you.
  • 00:02:47.217 --> 00:02:49.152
  • This is what the word of god says.
  • 00:02:49.152 --> 00:02:50.820
  • Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
  • 00:02:50.820 --> 00:02:54.891
  • There's a great work on the inside of you.
  • 00:02:54.891 --> 00:02:56.826
  • What the enemy desires to do is intimidate you,
  • 00:02:57.727 --> 00:03:00.763
  • And hell tries to intimidate
  • 00:03:00.763 --> 00:03:03.032
  • What god desires to inspire.
  • 00:03:03.032 --> 00:03:06.536
  • Okay.
  • 00:03:06.769 --> 00:03:07.971
  • Peter stood before the same counsel that condemned jesus
  • 00:03:07.971 --> 00:03:11.774
  • And their threats could not bury the resurrection power.
  • 00:03:11.774 --> 00:03:15.211
  • So if their threats could not bear bury resurrection power,
  • 00:03:15.211 --> 00:03:18.181
  • It should not be able to bury your voice.
  • 00:03:18.181 --> 00:03:22.085
  • So what does truth do?
  • 00:03:22.552 --> 00:03:24.053
  • Truth always outlives intimidation.
  • 00:03:24.053 --> 00:03:28.224
  • The devil tries to intimidate you.
  • 00:03:28.958 --> 00:03:31.828
  • He tries to remind you of your past.
  • 00:03:31.828 --> 00:03:33.663
  • He tries to remind you of what you used to be.
  • 00:03:33.663 --> 00:03:35.632
  • He tries to remind you of every mistake you ever made.
  • 00:03:35.632 --> 00:03:38.601
  • But god always reminds you that the plans
  • 00:03:38.601 --> 00:03:41.037
  • And the purpose he has for you are good, saith the lord.
  • 00:03:41.037 --> 00:03:44.040
  • And your future is better than your past.
  • 00:03:44.040 --> 00:03:46.042
  • He reminds you that you are the head and not the tail.
  • 00:03:46.042 --> 00:03:48.645
  • He reminded you that you are above and not beneath you.
  • 00:03:48.645 --> 00:03:51.180
  • Remind you that you are the lender and not the borrower.
  • 00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:53.816
  • He reminds you that you are victorious and not defeat.
  • 00:03:53.816 --> 00:03:57.086
  • And when he says victorious, he's
  • 00:03:57.086 --> 00:03:58.821
  • Not talking about over some things.
  • 00:03:58.821 --> 00:04:00.757
  • He's talking about over all things.
  • 00:04:00.757 --> 00:04:02.759
  • He said that you shall tread
  • 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:04.127
  • On the head of serpents and scorpions.
  • 00:04:04.127 --> 00:04:06.562
  • So for a moment
  • 00:04:06.562 --> 00:04:07.397
  • I want you to
  • 00:04:07.397 --> 00:04:08.598
  • Think about every snake that's tried to arise in your life.
  • 00:04:08.598 --> 00:04:11.668
  • Every back bite of this tried to stab you in the back.
  • 00:04:11.668 --> 00:04:14.504
  • Every scorpion that tried the stinger.
  • 00:04:14.504 --> 00:04:16.673
  • And i want you to know you got victory.
  • 00:04:16.673 --> 00:04:18.408
  • Even over those things and over those people. why?
  • 00:04:18.408 --> 00:04:21.344
  • Because god gave it to you.
  • 00:04:21.344 --> 00:04:23.046
  • And anything god gives you freely, you would be a fool
  • 00:04:23.046 --> 00:04:25.982
  • Not to receive with a smile on your face.
  • 00:04:25.982 --> 00:04:28.284
  • So instead of worrying about those snakes and those vipers
  • 00:04:28.284 --> 00:04:31.754
  • And those scorpions, fix your eyes on jesus
  • 00:04:31.754 --> 00:04:35.158
  • Because he's made you more than an overcomer.
  • 00:04:35.158 --> 00:04:38.161
  • And i wonder, is there anybody grateful
  • 00:04:38.161 --> 00:04:40.296
  • That you didn't have to wait for it?
  • 00:04:40.296 --> 00:04:42.065
  • You didn't have to pay for it.
  • 00:04:42.065 --> 00:04:43.533
  • You didn't have to barter for it.
  • 00:04:43.533 --> 00:04:45.201
  • He gave it to you because he's that good.
  • 00:04:45.201 --> 00:04:47.970
  • And if god is that good in your life,
  • 00:04:47.970 --> 00:04:50.139
  • Why don't you give god a great praise for the next 20s?
  • 00:04:50.139 --> 00:05:00.483
  • So the loudest threats usually
  • 00:05:01.084 --> 00:05:03.286
  • Come from the weakest thrones.
  • 00:05:03.286 --> 00:05:07.223
  • And if the enemy is shouting loud in your life right
  • 00:05:07.223 --> 00:05:10.727
  • Now, it's because he wants you to believe a lie.
  • 00:05:10.727 --> 00:05:14.163
  • So i need you to hear me for a second.
  • 00:05:14.163 --> 00:05:16.432
  • Whatever the enemy is saying,
  • 00:05:16.432 --> 00:05:18.301
  • You can go ahead and start rejoicing
  • 00:05:18.301 --> 00:05:20.436
  • Because you know the exact opposite is going to happen.
  • 00:05:20.436 --> 00:05:23.339
  • Some of you have been listening to the voice of the enemy
  • 00:05:23.339 --> 00:05:26.609
  • That's been telling you you're going to die prematurely.
  • 00:05:26.609 --> 00:05:29.579
  • You can go ahead and rejoice to know
  • 00:05:29.579 --> 00:05:31.581
  • You're going to live and not die.
  • 00:05:31.581 --> 00:05:33.383
  • God is going to give you a long life and list of days.
  • 00:05:33.383 --> 00:05:37.086
  • Some of you have been dealing with cancer,
  • 00:05:37.086 --> 00:05:39.122
  • And the enemy has had you to believe
  • 00:05:39.122 --> 00:05:40.923
  • That cancer is going to kill you.
  • 00:05:40.923 --> 00:05:42.692
  • And i just came to tell you today, cancer can't have you.
  • 00:05:42.692 --> 00:05:46.162
  • Cancer can't have your family.
  • 00:05:46.162 --> 00:05:47.930
  • Cancer can't have your mind.
  • 00:05:47.930 --> 00:05:49.732
  • Cancer can't have your babies.
  • 00:05:49.732 --> 00:05:51.501
  • You will live and not die.
  • 00:05:51.501 --> 00:05:54.137
  • To declare the mighty works of the lord.
  • 00:05:54.137 --> 00:05:56.706
  • So whatever the enemy is
  • 00:05:56.706 --> 00:05:58.040
  • Shouting at, you understand the exact opposite
  • 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.244
  • Is going to happen.
  • 00:06:01.244 --> 00:06:02.478
  • Because the loudest voices often come from the weakest thrones.
  • 00:06:02.478 --> 00:06:12.789
  • Point number two
  • 00:06:13.156 --> 00:06:14.157
  • Is this the name of jesus is not an option.
  • 00:06:14.157 --> 00:06:17.660
  • It's the only authority.
  • 00:06:17.660 --> 00:06:20.730
  • I'll say it again.
  • 00:06:21.164 --> 00:06:21.998
  • The name of jesus is not an option.
  • 00:06:21.998 --> 00:06:25.301
  • It is the only authority.
  • 00:06:25.301 --> 00:06:28.004
  • The sanhedrin,
  • 00:06:28.004 --> 00:06:29.806
  • Courts asked them by what power or name do you come in?
  • 00:06:29.806 --> 00:06:33.810
  • And peter didn't flinch.
  • 00:06:33.810 --> 00:06:35.344
  • He says, by the name of jesus christ of nazareth.
  • 00:06:35.344 --> 00:06:39.715
  • And regardless of what enemy is asking you,
  • 00:06:39.715 --> 00:06:42.718
  • What authority do you have?
  • 00:06:42.718 --> 00:06:44.387
  • And whose name did you come in?
  • 00:06:44.387 --> 00:06:46.322
  • You can declare,
  • 00:06:46.322 --> 00:06:47.390
  • I come in the name of jesus christ of nazareth.
  • 00:06:47.390 --> 00:06:51.527
  • And scripture teaches us that at the very mention of that name
  • 00:06:51.527 --> 00:06:55.298
  • Every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall proclaim.
  • 00:06:55.298 --> 00:06:58.668
  • I love it when i come into the room
  • 00:06:58.668 --> 00:07:00.736
  • With someone that's demon possessed.
  • 00:07:00.736 --> 00:07:02.839
  • And that demon acknowledges
  • 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:04.373
  • That i've now entered into the room.
  • 00:07:04.373 --> 00:07:06.275
  • I know you.
  • 00:07:06.275 --> 00:07:07.243
  • I know you know who i am.
  • 00:07:07.243 --> 00:07:09.212
  • Because greater is he
  • 00:07:09.212 --> 00:07:11.113
  • That is in me than he that's in the world.
  • 00:07:11.113 --> 00:07:14.584
  • I wonder, is there anybody listening to me
  • 00:07:14.584 --> 00:07:16.786
  • That know whose presence you carry?
  • 00:07:16.786 --> 00:07:18.788
  • You know whose power you carry.
  • 00:07:18.788 --> 00:07:20.556
  • You know whose name you come in.
  • 00:07:20.556 --> 00:07:22.391
  • You come in the name of the lord.
  • 00:07:22.391 --> 00:07:24.560
  • And scripture tells us
  • 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.028
  • That the name of the lord is a strong tower.
  • 00:07:26.028 --> 00:07:29.732
  • And there is no name like the name of jesus christ.
  • 00:07:29.732 --> 00:07:33.536
  • Y'all sit down. we just getting started.
  • 00:07:33.536 --> 00:07:35.505
  • Let me dig a little bit.
  • 00:07:35.505 --> 00:07:36.672
  • The name of jesus is not an option.
  • 00:07:36.672 --> 00:07:40.109
  • It is the only authority.
  • 00:07:40.109 --> 00:07:45.147
  • And so if the
  • 00:07:45.515 --> 00:07:46.315
  • Name of jesus is the only authority,
  • 00:07:46.315 --> 00:07:50.186
  • You have to understand that there won't be counterfeits
  • 00:07:50.186 --> 00:07:53.823
  • That try to act like the authority.
  • 00:07:53.823 --> 00:07:58.427
  • You say,
  • 00:07:58.694 --> 00:07:59.328
  • What are the counterfeits?
  • 00:07:59.328 --> 00:08:02.231
  • The counterfeits are buddha.
  • 00:08:02.231 --> 00:08:05.401
  • The counterfeits are hinduism.
  • 00:08:05.401 --> 00:08:07.970
  • The counterfeits are. harikrishna.
  • 00:08:07.970 --> 00:08:10.439
  • The counterfeit is the church of scientology.
  • 00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.376
  • The counterfeits are buddha.
  • 00:08:13.376 --> 00:08:15.444
  • And all these other are the gods.
  • 00:08:15.444 --> 00:08:17.613
  • Alah. and all these are the. i don't care who they are.
  • 00:08:17.613 --> 00:08:20.516
  • They are counterfeits.
  • 00:08:20.516 --> 00:08:21.717
  • When they come up against the name of jesus christ.
  • 00:08:21.717 --> 00:08:27.990
  • I'm not giving you a suggestion.
  • 00:08:28.624 --> 00:08:30.560
  • I'm not giving you my opinion.
  • 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:32.328
  • I'm giving you what the word of god says.
  • 00:08:32.328 --> 00:08:34.797
  • And the word of god said.
  • 00:08:34.797 --> 00:08:36.399
  • The only way to the father is through the son, and
  • 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:40.136
  • His name is jesus.
  • 00:08:40.136 --> 00:08:43.372
  • It's the only way.
  • 00:08:43.806 --> 00:08:45.374
  • They're not many ways. there
  • 00:08:44.707 --> 00:08:47.310
  • Not multiple ways
  • 00:08:47.310 --> 00:08:48.444
  • And not different avenues and not different streets.
  • 00:08:48.444 --> 00:08:51.047
  • There is one way, and his name is.
  • 00:08:51.047 --> 00:08:55.651
  • Make no mistake about it, there is no power in allah.
  • 00:08:56.752 --> 00:08:59.989
  • There is no power in buddha.
  • 00:09:00.590 --> 00:09:02.525
  • There is no power in the 237,000 gods and hinduism.
  • 00:09:02.525 --> 00:09:07.096
  • There is one god and his name is.
  • 00:09:07.096 --> 00:09:12.535
  • His name is jesus.
  • 00:09:12.969 --> 00:09:17.707
  • So every counterfeit
  • 00:09:18.174 --> 00:09:20.610
  • And every counterfeit power,
  • 00:09:20.610 --> 00:09:22.812
  • Folds,
  • 00:09:22.812 --> 00:09:23.813
  • When the name of jesus is spoken..
  • 00:09:23.813 --> 00:09:30.553
  • Everyone
  • 00:09:30.820 --> 00:09:32.388
  • Say, well, how are you sure?
  • 00:09:32.388 --> 00:09:36.025
  • Because you don't hear people shout, buddha!
  • 00:09:36.025 --> 00:09:37.693
  • When the plane starts going down.
  • 00:09:37.693 --> 00:09:45.234
  • When bullets start flying,
  • 00:09:45.801 --> 00:09:47.269
  • You don't hear nobody running shouting allah!
  • 00:09:47.269 --> 00:09:55.478
  • So every counterfeit
  • 00:09:55.945 --> 00:09:58.280
  • And every counterfeit power
  • 00:09:58.280 --> 00:10:01.017
  • Bows and the presence of true authority,
  • 00:10:01.017 --> 00:10:05.688
  • A counterfeit bill.
  • 00:10:06.155 --> 00:10:08.124
  • It looks identical to the real thing.
  • 00:10:08.124 --> 00:10:11.927
  • Same size,
  • 00:10:12.228 --> 00:10:14.330
  • Same color, same texture.
  • 00:10:14.330 --> 00:10:17.833
  • To the untrained eye.
  • 00:10:18.334 --> 00:10:25.441
  • It passes as genuine.
  • 00:10:25.941 --> 00:10:29.879
  • But no matter how good it looks,
  • 00:10:30.513 --> 00:10:33.082
  • No matter how good it feels,
  • 00:10:33.082 --> 00:10:35.918
  • A counterfeit
  • 00:10:35.918 --> 00:10:38.087
  • Can't buy anything legally
  • 00:10:38.087 --> 00:10:42.091
  • Because it carries no backing
  • 00:10:42.725 --> 00:10:45.895
  • Of the authority of the u.s.
  • 00:10:45.895 --> 00:10:48.264
  • Treasury.
  • 00:10:48.264 --> 00:10:50.366
  • A counterfeit power
  • 00:10:50.366 --> 00:10:53.235
  • Can't do anything spiritually
  • 00:10:53.235 --> 00:10:56.439
  • Because it has no backing
  • 00:10:56.439 --> 00:10:59.075
  • Of the kingdom of god.
  • 00:10:59.075 --> 00:11:04.880
  • So the reason those demons have not left,
  • 00:11:05.781 --> 00:11:09.685
  • Because you have come in your own power
  • 00:11:09.685 --> 00:11:12.722
  • And your own ability and your own wisdom
  • 00:11:12.722 --> 00:11:16.425
  • And your own counsel and your own opinion,
  • 00:11:16.425 --> 00:11:19.695
  • And they will stay
  • 00:11:19.695 --> 00:11:20.996
  • Because you don't have the power to evict them.
  • 00:11:20.996 --> 00:11:24.033
  • But there is one true living savior, and his name is jesus.
  • 00:11:24.033 --> 00:11:28.671
  • And when you call on the name of the lord,
  • 00:11:28.671 --> 00:11:32.308
  • You will be saved.
  • 00:11:32.308 --> 00:11:41.851
  • This is exactly what we see in acts chapter four,
  • 00:11:42.852 --> 00:11:45.020
  • The sanhedrin court.
  • 00:11:45.020 --> 00:11:46.088
  • They had titles, they had robes, they had rituals,
  • 00:11:46.088 --> 00:11:48.524
  • And they looked official,
  • 00:11:48.524 --> 00:11:49.759
  • But they had no authority given to them in heaven.
  • 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:53.562
  • Peter and john, on the other hand, they had no robes.
  • 00:11:53.562 --> 00:11:55.865
  • They had no seat on the council,
  • 00:11:55.865 --> 00:11:57.299
  • But they carried the name of jesus, and the name
  • 00:11:57.299 --> 00:12:00.302
  • Had the full backing of heavens throne.
  • 00:12:00.302 --> 00:12:05.941
  • So a counterfeit
  • 00:12:06.342 --> 00:12:08.144
  • Always copies appearance,
  • 00:12:08.144 --> 00:12:11.247
  • But can't duplicate authority.
  • 00:12:11.247 --> 00:12:18.788
  • And as hell
  • 00:12:19.121 --> 00:12:19.789
  • Prints, knockoffs.
  • 00:12:19.789 --> 00:12:24.794
  • Heaven rights.
  • 00:12:25.127 --> 00:12:25.861
  • Originals.
  • 00:12:25.861 --> 00:12:29.498
  • Stop settling for a knockoff.
  • 00:12:30.132 --> 00:12:35.371
  • When god has provided to you
  • 00:12:35.971 --> 00:12:37.673
  • An original.
  • 00:12:37.673 --> 00:12:41.510
  • There is not jesus,
  • 00:12:41.977 --> 00:12:43.012
  • And it's just jesus.
  • 00:12:43.012 --> 00:12:49.151
  • You don't need anything.
  • 00:12:49.685 --> 00:12:50.586
  • You don't need anything outside of jesus.
  • 00:12:50.586 --> 00:12:52.755
  • All that you need is found in him.
  • 00:12:52.755 --> 00:12:58.127
  • So a counterfeit can fool a crowd.
  • 00:12:58.894 --> 00:13:02.298
  • But it can never fool the kingdom of god.
  • 00:13:02.298 --> 00:13:06.602
  • Hey, family, as we take a break.
  • 00:13:07.236 --> 00:13:08.871
  • My prayer is that this broadcast is blessing you.
  • 00:13:08.871 --> 00:13:12.174
  • I pray this message, as we journey
  • 00:13:12.174 --> 00:13:13.876
  • Through the book of acts,
  • 00:13:13.876 --> 00:13:15.144
  • Unlocks destiny on the inside of you.
  • 00:13:15.144 --> 00:13:17.413
  • Removes the scales from your eye
  • 00:13:17.413 --> 00:13:19.448
  • And it removes whatever earmuffs you may have on your ears
  • 00:13:19.448 --> 00:13:22.451
  • That are blocking you from hearing god.
  • 00:13:22.451 --> 00:13:24.620
  • I want to provide to you a resource today
  • 00:13:24.620 --> 00:13:27.122
  • The bumpy road to better.
  • 00:13:27.122 --> 00:13:28.557
  • This is my brand new book that was released, september
  • 00:13:28.557 --> 00:13:31.627
  • The 2nd that i believe is going to bless your life.
  • 00:13:31.627 --> 00:13:35.164
  • In this book, i talk about how we can unlock the power
  • 00:13:35.164 --> 00:13:38.767
  • And hard things that we may be navigating in this life.
  • 00:13:38.767 --> 00:13:42.204
  • And i believe that as we go on this journey of going towards
  • 00:13:42.204 --> 00:13:46.108
  • Better, there's some bumps that we have
  • 00:13:46.108 --> 00:13:47.843
  • To navigate, some mountains that we have to scale,
  • 00:13:47.843 --> 00:13:50.212
  • And some giants that we have to defeat.
  • 00:13:50.212 --> 00:13:52.481
  • When encourage you do whatever you can to purchase
  • 00:13:52.481 --> 00:13:54.617
  • This book, the bumpy road
  • 00:13:54.617 --> 00:13:55.718
  • To better at thebumpyroadtobetter.com.
  • 00:13:55.718 --> 00:13:58.520
  • Let's go back into today's message as we continue to learn
  • 00:13:58.520 --> 00:14:01.490
  • The word of god.
  • 00:14:01.490 --> 00:14:06.095
  • Point number three.
  • 00:14:06.562 --> 00:14:12.868
  • Boldness is the fruit of belief.
  • 00:14:13.502 --> 00:14:20.576
  • It's not the absence of fear.
  • 00:14:21.210 --> 00:14:24.280
  • It's the fruit of belief.
  • 00:14:24.280 --> 00:14:27.149
  • Peter had denied jesus before.
  • 00:14:27.149 --> 00:14:31.387
  • But standing before the sanhedrin council,
  • 00:14:32.254 --> 00:14:35.257
  • He now has a boldness.
  • 00:14:35.257 --> 00:14:38.494
  • He now has authority.
  • 00:14:38.994 --> 00:14:41.730
  • He now has dominion that cannot be shaken.
  • 00:14:41.730 --> 00:14:44.600
  • Because this boldness is born out of belief.
  • 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:49.772
  • He was filled with the spirit,
  • 00:14:50.372 --> 00:14:52.508
  • So he stood unshaken before the rulers of the world.
  • 00:14:52.508 --> 00:14:56.412
  • And when you have a belief that cannot be shaken, it
  • 00:14:57.479 --> 00:15:00.916
  • Births a boldness that cannot be silenced.
  • 00:15:00.916 --> 00:15:05.487
  • Why do some of us remain silent?
  • 00:15:06.121 --> 00:15:09.158
  • Because our belief is in question.
  • 00:15:09.892 --> 00:15:14.797
  • But when you know
  • 00:15:15.230 --> 00:15:17.633
  • That, you know
  • 00:15:17.633 --> 00:15:19.568
  • That you know
  • 00:15:19.568 --> 00:15:23.806
  • It. verse a boldness on the inside of you
  • 00:15:21.437 --> 00:15:26.408
  • That cannot be suppressed. it cannot be silenced.
  • 00:15:26.408 --> 00:15:29.011
  • They cannot be shut up.
  • 00:15:29.011 --> 00:15:30.346
  • In the old testament, the prophet
  • 00:15:30.346 --> 00:15:31.947
  • Said, it's like fire, shut up in my bones.
  • 00:15:31.947 --> 00:15:34.950
  • This boldness that i have.
  • 00:15:34.950 --> 00:15:36.685
  • It's born out of belief, and that belief is born
  • 00:15:36.685 --> 00:15:39.922
  • Out of my witness
  • 00:15:39.922 --> 00:15:41.190
  • Of seeing jesus do more than i ever dreamed of.
  • 00:15:41.190 --> 00:15:44.393
  • I've seen too much.
  • 00:15:44.393 --> 00:15:45.627
  • And i've heard too much not to believe.
  • 00:15:45.627 --> 00:15:47.930
  • I know who i used to be.
  • 00:15:47.930 --> 00:15:49.498
  • And god radically redeemed me through his son jesus.
  • 00:15:49.498 --> 00:15:52.501
  • And he positioned me on the path of righteousness, so
  • 00:15:52.501 --> 00:15:55.371
  • I can't remain silent about what he's delivered me for him.
  • 00:15:55.371 --> 00:15:58.807
  • Because anything i remain silent in it stops
  • 00:15:58.807 --> 00:16:02.077
  • The testimony of what god is doing in someone else.
  • 00:16:02.077 --> 00:16:06.215
  • And this is what i've learned about god.
  • 00:16:07.049 --> 00:16:10.019
  • Anything he delivers me from, anything that he blesses me
  • 00:16:10.019 --> 00:16:14.156
  • With, any breakthrough that he allows me to steward, that
  • 00:16:14.156 --> 00:16:17.259
  • I don't return back to him with praise
  • 00:16:17.259 --> 00:16:20.329
  • Eventually turns into pride.
  • 00:16:20.329 --> 00:16:26.602
  • We got a lot of prideful,
  • 00:16:27.169 --> 00:16:29.571
  • Arrogant,
  • 00:16:29.571 --> 00:16:31.340
  • Egotistical people
  • 00:16:31.340 --> 00:16:34.043
  • That follow jesus because we believe that
  • 00:16:34.043 --> 00:16:38.580
  • We are in the place that we are because we got ourselves
  • 00:16:38.580 --> 00:16:42.551
  • There.
  • 00:16:42.551 --> 00:16:45.854
  • Only god.
  • 00:16:45.854 --> 00:16:49.191
  • I don't know your personal testimony,
  • 00:16:49.191 --> 00:16:50.659
  • But i know mine.
  • 00:16:50.659 --> 00:16:54.029
  • And i know what he saved me from.
  • 00:16:54.029 --> 00:16:57.032
  • I know what he delivered me from.
  • 00:16:57.032 --> 00:16:59.735
  • I don't know every weapon.
  • 00:16:59.735 --> 00:17:00.869
  • I don't know every dart. i don't know every bullet.
  • 00:17:00.869 --> 00:17:02.771
  • I don't know every arrow. he stopped,
  • 00:17:02.771 --> 00:17:05.541
  • But he did.
  • 00:17:05.541 --> 00:17:10.012
  • And it has nothing
  • 00:17:10.446 --> 00:17:11.613
  • To do with my goodness,
  • 00:17:11.613 --> 00:17:14.817
  • My greatness, my talent, my gift.
  • 00:17:14.817 --> 00:17:19.755
  • Me in my selfish ways
  • 00:17:20.255 --> 00:17:23.826
  • Is not a good person.
  • 00:17:23.826 --> 00:17:28.030
  • You and your selfish ways.
  • 00:17:28.597 --> 00:17:31.934
  • Not a good person.
  • 00:17:32.367 --> 00:17:36.004
  • But the grace of god.
  • 00:17:36.505 --> 00:17:40.142
  • Covers you.
  • 00:17:40.476 --> 00:17:42.511
  • And scripture says where there is sin,
  • 00:17:42.511 --> 00:17:46.648
  • There grace abounds that much more.
  • 00:17:46.648 --> 00:17:52.054
  • And so if you know that
  • 00:17:52.554 --> 00:17:54.590
  • It took a great sacrifice to give you great grace,
  • 00:17:54.590 --> 00:17:58.861
  • And you still don't say anything about it.
  • 00:17:58.861 --> 00:18:01.930
  • You're operating in pride.
  • 00:18:02.498 --> 00:18:09.838
  • He not called.
  • 00:18:10.172 --> 00:18:10.939
  • He hasn't called us
  • 00:18:10.939 --> 00:18:13.108
  • To be more concerned with our identity
  • 00:18:13.108 --> 00:18:16.378
  • Than we are with doing what
  • 00:18:16.979 --> 00:18:18.547
  • He created us to do.
  • 00:18:18.547 --> 00:18:22.050
  • Like, we live in a society and a culture
  • 00:18:22.050 --> 00:18:23.986
  • That so consumed with how we look that
  • 00:18:23.986 --> 00:18:28.390
  • We forgot what we are purposed and created for.
  • 00:18:28.390 --> 00:18:36.832
  • How many ever been
  • 00:18:37.266 --> 00:18:37.866
  • To the hospital before?
  • 00:18:37.866 --> 00:18:41.470
  • I mean never had surgery before.
  • 00:18:42.104 --> 00:18:45.908
  • I mean, you go in there.
  • 00:18:46.441 --> 00:18:48.243
  • They put you in that gown.
  • 00:18:48.243 --> 00:18:51.313
  • And you wake up from whatever
  • 00:18:51.313 --> 00:18:52.414
  • Surgery they had to perform on you.
  • 00:18:52.414 --> 00:18:55.717
  • You're not concerned about who
  • 00:18:55.717 --> 00:18:56.919
  • Saw you.
  • 00:18:56.919 --> 00:19:00.289
  • Your whole tale out.
  • 00:19:00.756 --> 00:19:07.663
  • They performing on your hand.
  • 00:19:08.297 --> 00:19:10.966
  • You completely naked up under that robe for no reason.
  • 00:19:10.966 --> 00:19:22.277
  • I went in,
  • 00:19:22.578 --> 00:19:23.779
  • I had to get my hand looked at and said, okay, put this gown.
  • 00:19:23.779 --> 00:19:26.114
  • I said, hey, man, what are we doing this for?
  • 00:19:26.114 --> 00:19:29.618
  • What's going on?
  • 00:19:30.018 --> 00:19:33.522
  • Just put my hand in the machine.
  • 00:19:33.522 --> 00:19:34.856
  • When i got to put the robe on for.
  • 00:19:34.856 --> 00:19:37.726
  • Walk through the hallway, cheeks out.
  • 00:19:37.726 --> 00:19:39.394
  • You know, i'm saying, what we.
  • 00:19:39.394 --> 00:19:40.696
  • What are we doing?
  • 00:19:40.696 --> 00:19:44.066
  • You wake up.
  • 00:19:44.399 --> 00:19:45.667
  • You're not concerned about none of that.
  • 00:19:45.667 --> 00:19:48.904
  • Trying to get your bearings.
  • 00:19:48.904 --> 00:19:50.105
  • What happened? okay, i'm still here.
  • 00:19:50.105 --> 00:19:53.308
  • All right.
  • 00:19:53.609 --> 00:19:54.543
  • Okay.
  • 00:19:54.543 --> 00:19:56.878
  • I'm still here.
  • 00:19:56.878 --> 00:19:59.481
  • We are to concerned
  • 00:19:59.481 --> 00:20:00.582
  • About how we look in the presence of god.
  • 00:20:00.582 --> 00:20:03.919
  • We█ve made worship
  • 00:20:04.353 --> 00:20:06.421
  • About what we feel, about
  • 00:20:06.421 --> 00:20:08.890
  • What we want, about what we desire, about what we need,
  • 00:20:08.890 --> 00:20:13.929
  • Instead of what we were created for.
  • 00:20:13.929 --> 00:20:18.133
  • So we say stuff like this.
  • 00:20:18.700 --> 00:20:19.935
  • And even church worship was too long
  • 00:20:19.935 --> 00:20:21.670
  • Today.
  • 00:20:21.670 --> 00:20:24.773
  • It felt like a concert.
  • 00:20:24.773 --> 00:20:32.514
  • What do you think
  • 00:20:32.948 --> 00:20:33.682
  • Heaven is gonna be like?
  • 00:20:33.682 --> 00:20:43.859
  • I tell you what ain't gonna happen.
  • 00:20:44.626 --> 00:20:47.062
  • You ain't go get there and worship going on.
  • 00:20:47.062 --> 00:20:50.632
  • And you look at your clock and say, all right, 12:30.
  • 00:20:50.632 --> 00:20:53.635
  • Let's go.
  • 00:20:53.635 --> 00:20:54.803
  • We leaving here early?
  • 00:20:54.803 --> 00:20:57.773
  • We get out of here.
  • 00:20:57.773 --> 00:21:01.009
  • That ain't what happens.
  • 00:21:01.009 --> 00:21:02.177
  • Scripture says that the angels, they surround the throne
  • 00:21:02.177 --> 00:21:04.846
  • And they cry, holy, holy, holy is the lord god
  • 00:21:04.846 --> 00:21:10.485
  • Almighty, the one who was the one who is
  • 00:21:10.485 --> 00:21:15.590
  • The one who is to come.
  • 00:21:16.091 --> 00:21:21.563
  • So as we read in the text,
  • 00:21:22.130 --> 00:21:25.067
  • Peter declares with boldness,
  • 00:21:25.067 --> 00:21:27.336
  • We come in the name of
  • 00:21:27.336 --> 00:21:30.605
  • Jesus christ of nazareth,
  • 00:21:30.605 --> 00:21:33.709
  • And the man that you see,
  • 00:21:34.276 --> 00:21:36.712
  • Healed stands before you
  • 00:21:36.712 --> 00:21:39.948
  • Well.
  • 00:21:39.948 --> 00:21:43.251
  • Point number four is this.
  • 00:21:43.819 --> 00:21:47.089
  • Every healing
  • 00:21:47.456 --> 00:21:49.558
  • Is a headline
  • 00:21:49.558 --> 00:21:51.660
  • For the resurrection.
  • 00:21:51.660 --> 00:21:55.230
  • Peter didn't take credit.
  • 00:21:55.797 --> 00:21:58.533
  • He didn't say what you see came from me.
  • 00:21:58.533 --> 00:22:01.937
  • He didn't say what happened in front of you.
  • 00:22:01.937 --> 00:22:03.972
  • Comes from my talents, from my gifts to my ability.
  • 00:22:03.972 --> 00:22:07.342
  • He said what you see happened
  • 00:22:07.976 --> 00:22:10.912
  • Because of jesus christ.
  • 00:22:10.912 --> 00:22:13.482
  • The man you see before you is well.
  • 00:22:13.482 --> 00:22:16.618
  • Because of the power of jesus christ.
  • 00:22:16.618 --> 00:22:20.188
  • So every healing is a headline
  • 00:22:20.188 --> 00:22:23.191
  • Of the resurrection power of jesus christ.
  • 00:22:23.191 --> 00:22:26.728
  • Miracles are not god showing off.
  • 00:22:27.462 --> 00:22:30.832
  • Miracles are god showing up.
  • 00:22:31.433 --> 00:22:34.536
  • And today god is going to show up in your situation.
  • 00:22:34.536 --> 00:22:38.540
  • He's going to show up in your circumstance.
  • 00:22:38.540 --> 00:22:40.909
  • He's going to show up in your mind.
  • 00:22:40.909 --> 00:22:42.878
  • He's going to drag off those negative thoughts.
  • 00:22:42.878 --> 00:22:45.247
  • He's going to drag off that oppression,
  • 00:22:45.247 --> 00:22:47.282
  • That depression, that suicidal ideation.
  • 00:22:47.282 --> 00:22:50.585
  • He's going to drag it off
  • 00:22:50.585 --> 00:22:52.120
  • Because miracles are not just god showing off.
  • 00:22:52.120 --> 00:22:56.124
  • They are god showing up.
  • 00:22:56.124 --> 00:22:57.926
  • And every healing. there's a headline
  • 00:22:57.926 --> 00:23:00.662
  • Of the resurrection power of jesus christ.
  • 00:23:00.662 --> 00:23:06.468
  • So how can we define healing in context?
  • 00:23:07.335 --> 00:23:09.905
  • Acts chapter four, verse four through ten.
  • 00:23:09.905 --> 00:23:12.140
  • We can define healing as the resurrection
  • 00:23:12.140 --> 00:23:15.010
  • Power echoing in the physical body.
  • 00:23:15.010 --> 00:23:21.850
  • What is pain?
  • 00:23:22.217 --> 00:23:23.185
  • Pain is echoing the voice of the enemy.
  • 00:23:23.185 --> 00:23:25.654
  • What is healing and miracle working power?
  • 00:23:25.654 --> 00:23:28.490
  • It is healing and the resurrection power
  • 00:23:28.490 --> 00:23:31.760
  • Echoing in your physical body.
  • 00:23:31.760 --> 00:23:35.063
  • So today, i believe that the resurrection power of
  • 00:23:36.097 --> 00:23:39.234
  • Jesus christ is going to echo in your physical body.
  • 00:23:39.234 --> 00:23:43.071
  • The resurrection power is going to echo in your mind.
  • 00:23:43.071 --> 00:23:45.474
  • The resurrection power is going to echo in your organs.
  • 00:23:45.474 --> 00:23:48.410
  • And in that thing that doctors told you was impossible to kill.
  • 00:23:48.410 --> 00:23:51.480
  • The resurrection power of jesus christ is going to echo
  • 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:54.816
  • And be a testimony of the faithfulness of the power
  • 00:23:54.816 --> 00:23:58.386
  • Of the holy spirit in your physical body.
  • 00:23:58.386 --> 00:24:01.389
  • A changed life
  • 00:24:01.389 --> 00:24:02.991
  • Cannot be changed by you changing your circumstances.
  • 00:24:02.991 --> 00:24:06.895
  • A changed life can only be changed by you
  • 00:24:06.895 --> 00:24:09.764
  • Changing your mind to the power of jesus christ.
  • 00:24:09.764 --> 00:24:13.401
  • You don't change your life by changing your life.
  • 00:24:13.401 --> 00:24:16.071
  • You change your life by changing your mind
  • 00:24:16.071 --> 00:24:18.507
  • And anchoring your mind and the power of jesus christ.
  • 00:24:18.507 --> 00:24:22.978
  • Our minds are renewed by hearing and hearing
  • 00:24:22.978 --> 00:24:26.214
  • And hearing and hearing and hearing the word of god.
  • 00:24:26.214 --> 00:24:29.451
  • And some of your faith is being stirred right now.
  • 00:24:29.451 --> 00:24:32.053
  • Some of your boldness is being strengthened right now.
  • 00:24:32.053 --> 00:24:34.656
  • Some of your belief
  • 00:24:34.656 --> 00:24:35.824
  • Is being anchor right now because of the word of god.
  • 00:24:35.824 --> 00:24:42.063
  • There's nothing greater
  • 00:24:42.564 --> 00:24:43.598
  • Than the word of god.
  • 00:24:43.598 --> 00:24:46.601
  • So if there is no higher authority than the word of god,
  • 00:24:46.601 --> 00:24:50.105
  • Depend on the word of god for every solution,
  • 00:24:50.105 --> 00:24:53.775
  • For every problem.
  • 00:24:53.775 --> 00:24:54.876
  • Your face today and watch how god works it out.
  • 00:24:54.876 --> 00:24:58.680
  • How do i know that?
  • 00:24:58.680 --> 00:24:59.814
  • Because he has never failed and he never will.
  • 00:24:59.814 --> 00:25:02.717
  • Our god has never lost the battle.
  • 00:25:02.717 --> 00:25:04.953
  • He's never been defeated.
  • 00:25:04.953 --> 00:25:06.555
  • He's only been victorious.
  • 00:25:06.555 --> 00:25:08.223
  • And he says he's made you more than a conqueror
  • 00:25:08.223 --> 00:25:13.395
  • In jesus christ.
  • 00:25:13.395 --> 00:25:17.966
  • So he gives you power
  • 00:25:18.466 --> 00:25:21.369
  • In the middle of pressure.
  • 00:25:21.369 --> 00:25:26.408
  • Power in the middle of press.

  • Your power in the middle of test.
  • 00:25:28.343 --> 00:25:29.844
  • Power in the middle of tribulation.
  • 00:25:29.844 --> 00:25:31.713
  • Power in the middle of temptation.
  • 00:25:31.713 --> 00:25:33.682
  • Power in the middle of what your current reality is.
  • 00:25:33.682 --> 00:25:36.952
  • He is giving you power.
