  • 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:17.200
  • Hey, family.
  • 00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:18.368
  • I bring you greetings from celebration
  • 00:00:18.368 --> 00:00:19.903
  • Church right here in jacksonville, florida.
  • 00:00:19.903 --> 00:00:21.738
  • I'm excited about today's broadcast and the word that god
  • 00:00:21.738 --> 00:00:25.141
  • Has given us for our time together today.
  • 00:00:25.141 --> 00:00:29.112
  • And i don't want to hold.
  • 00:00:29.112 --> 00:00:30.547
  • I don't want to waste any time.
  • 00:00:30.547 --> 00:00:31.748
  • I want us to go right into the word of god
  • 00:00:31.748 --> 00:00:33.783
  • As we dive into acts chapter three and discover what it means
  • 00:00:33.783 --> 00:00:37.554
  • When the bible talks about a prophet and a promise.
  • 00:00:37.554 --> 00:00:41.024
  • Let's go to the word of god.
  • 00:00:41.024 --> 00:00:41.991
  • As we continue to go on this journey together
  • 00:00:41.991 --> 00:00:44.594
  • Through the book of acts.
  • 00:00:44.594 --> 00:00:47.063
  • As we learned last week, peter is still on the back
  • 00:00:47.063 --> 00:00:50.233
  • Of solomon's portico, the back porch teaching
  • 00:00:50.233 --> 00:00:53.570
  • A primarily jewish audience
  • 00:00:53.570 --> 00:00:56.206
  • About their rejection towards jesus christ.
  • 00:00:56.206 --> 00:01:01.211
  • He's allowing them now to know that their decision to reject
  • 00:01:01.211 --> 00:01:06.116
  • Jesus wasn't
  • 00:01:06.116 --> 00:01:07.584
  • Just to reject a message, it was to reject
  • 00:01:07.584 --> 00:01:11.121
  • The very prophecy that they had believed in.
  • 00:01:11.121 --> 00:01:14.324
  • So peter utilizes, scripture from the torah,
  • 00:01:14.324 --> 00:01:19.429
  • Which they would identify and know to help them understand
  • 00:01:19.429 --> 00:01:23.833
  • The fullness
  • 00:01:23.833 --> 00:01:25.068
  • And the weight of what it is that he's trying to communicate.
  • 00:01:25.068 --> 00:01:28.404
  • And giving them the message of jesus christ.
  • 00:01:28.404 --> 00:01:32.075
  • So he says in verse 22, moses said,
  • 00:01:32.075 --> 00:01:35.345
  • The lord god will raise up for you a prophet like me
  • 00:01:35.345 --> 00:01:39.682
  • From your brothers, and you shall listen to him
  • 00:01:39.682 --> 00:01:42.719
  • And whatever he tells you, and it shall be that every soul
  • 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.022
  • Who does not listen to
  • 00:01:46.022 --> 00:01:47.090
  • The prophet shall be destroyed from the people.
  • 00:01:47.090 --> 00:01:50.460
  • And so as he's giving them this declaration and decree,
  • 00:01:50.460 --> 00:01:54.430
  • He is building a bridge between the covenant past
  • 00:01:54.430 --> 00:01:57.901
  • And their present opportunity for salvation.
  • 00:01:57.901 --> 00:02:00.970
  • He's showing them that rejecting jesus isn't just rejecting
  • 00:02:00.970 --> 00:02:04.607
  • The fulfillment
  • 00:02:04.607 --> 00:02:05.542
  • Of what they believe, it's actually
  • 00:02:05.542 --> 00:02:07.377
  • Rejecting the fulfillment of all scripture.
  • 00:02:07.377 --> 00:02:10.079
  • This was not just a theological exposition.
  • 00:02:10.079 --> 00:02:13.016
  • It was a prophetic call to repentance and recognition.
  • 00:02:13.016 --> 00:02:17.554
  • Peter's words are laced with urgency,
  • 00:02:17.554 --> 00:02:20.323
  • And i pray that we have an urgency, see in our spirit
  • 00:02:20.323 --> 00:02:23.660
  • To understand that time is running out.
  • 00:02:23.660 --> 00:02:26.763
  • We don't have all the time in the world
  • 00:02:26.763 --> 00:02:29.599
  • To figure this thing out.
  • 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:30.833
  • Jesus is soon to return and he's returning to a bride
  • 00:02:30.833 --> 00:02:35.138
  • Without spot or blemish.
  • 00:02:35.138 --> 00:02:36.940
  • It makes no sense to know that your life is not in order,
  • 00:02:36.940 --> 00:02:40.610
  • And not have a life raft to help you get from where you are
  • 00:02:40.610 --> 00:02:44.247
  • To where you need to be.
  • 00:02:44.247 --> 00:02:45.682
  • And so peter is talking to this group of people,
  • 00:02:45.682 --> 00:02:48.518
  • And he's urging them, do not reject the truth.
  • 00:02:48.518 --> 00:02:52.455
  • Do not reject salvation as you know the torah.
  • 00:02:52.455 --> 00:02:56.259
  • You have heard that there is a messiah that is coming.
  • 00:02:56.259 --> 00:02:59.395
  • Well, he has come and he was crucified.
  • 00:02:59.395 --> 00:03:02.232
  • He was buried, and he was resurrected.
  • 00:03:02.232 --> 00:03:04.033
  • For you now receive the gift
  • 00:03:04.033 --> 00:03:06.469
  • That only he can give, which is the gift of repentance.
  • 00:03:06.469 --> 00:03:10.373
  • He's reminding them that the messiah had come
  • 00:03:10.373 --> 00:03:13.276
  • Not just with power to heal, not just as a prophet, but
  • 00:03:13.276 --> 00:03:16.646
  • He came as the seed of abraham, as a blessing for the nations.
  • 00:03:16.646 --> 00:03:21.217
  • And he gave them an opportunity
  • 00:03:21.217 --> 00:03:23.019
  • To respond to the message of jesus christ.
  • 00:03:23.019 --> 00:03:26.823
  • And so right here, from the very beginning,
  • 00:03:26.823 --> 00:03:28.791
  • I want you to write this down.
  • 00:03:28.791 --> 00:03:30.059
  • Point number one, taken straight from our text, is this
  • 00:03:30.059 --> 00:03:33.529
  • Every ignored whisper of god becomes a roar of judgment.
  • 00:03:33.529 --> 00:03:37.700
  • Later.
  • 00:03:37.700 --> 00:03:39.769
  • I'll say it again.
  • 00:03:40.203 --> 00:03:41.337
  • Every ignored whisper of god
  • 00:03:41.337 --> 00:03:43.606
  • Becomes a roar of judgment later.
  • 00:03:43.606 --> 00:03:46.709
  • What does this mean for us in 2025?
  • 00:03:46.709 --> 00:03:49.178
  • That means that nudge to spend time with god that you ignore
  • 00:03:49.178 --> 00:03:52.849
  • Will become something in your future
  • 00:03:52.849 --> 00:03:55.351
  • That you don't want to see.
  • 00:03:55.351 --> 00:03:57.553
  • That means when he's pulling you and pulling
  • 00:03:57.553 --> 00:03:59.722
  • You and telling you, hey, i want to spend time with you.
  • 00:03:59.722 --> 00:04:02.125
  • I want to show you something in the word of god,
  • 00:04:02.125 --> 00:04:04.227
  • And you push past that.
  • 00:04:04.227 --> 00:04:05.928
  • It is a prophecy
  • 00:04:05.928 --> 00:04:07.163
  • That something else that you are not dictating or expecting.
  • 00:04:07.163 --> 00:04:10.967
  • It's going to arise in your future.
  • 00:04:10.967 --> 00:04:14.537
  • How do we know this?
  • 00:04:15.004 --> 00:04:16.439
  • Peter quotes moses to show that ignoring jesus
  • 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.842
  • Is rebellion against divine prophecy.
  • 00:04:19.842 --> 00:04:23.079
  • So jesus didn't
  • 00:04:23.446 --> 00:04:24.580
  • Just speak the truth, he was the truth and silence.
  • 00:04:24.580 --> 00:04:28.251
  • When truth is speaking, is it neutral?
  • 00:04:28.251 --> 00:04:30.887
  • It's rejection.
  • 00:04:30.887 --> 00:04:33.122
  • So there's friends that god has been telling you.
  • 00:04:34.090 --> 00:04:36.859
  • You got to cut off, that you're still being entertaining,
  • 00:04:36.859 --> 00:04:39.228
  • And the reason you're
  • 00:04:39.228 --> 00:04:40.096
  • Entertaining them is because you're
  • 00:04:40.096 --> 00:04:41.664
  • More comfortable with those people
  • 00:04:41.664 --> 00:04:43.900
  • That are talking about you behind your back than you are
  • 00:04:43.900 --> 00:04:47.103
  • In the unknown of discovering people that can actually push
  • 00:04:47.103 --> 00:04:50.373
  • You closer to the presence of jesus christ.
  • 00:04:50.373 --> 00:04:53.876
  • And some of you been praying for peace,
  • 00:04:54.677 --> 00:04:56.379
  • But you keep texting chaos.
  • 00:04:56.379 --> 00:05:05.655
  • Because for the confused, chaos
  • 00:05:06.322 --> 00:05:09.525
  • Feels like company.
  • 00:05:09.525 --> 00:05:15.898
  • It's gonna be all right.
  • 00:05:16.432 --> 00:05:17.066
  • Just keep looking for it.
  • 00:05:17.066 --> 00:05:18.234
  • No one to know who i'm talking to.
  • 00:05:18.234 --> 00:05:21.437
  • And so peter reminds us.
  • 00:05:21.437 --> 00:05:23.072
  • Every ignored whisper of god
  • 00:05:23.072 --> 00:05:24.540
  • Becomes a roar of judgment later.
  • 00:05:24.540 --> 00:05:26.576
  • Some of you are stuck in relationships now because
  • 00:05:26.576 --> 00:05:30.146
  • You disobeyed god yesterday.
  • 00:05:30.146 --> 00:05:35.017
  • And we want god to bless something
  • 00:05:35.752 --> 00:05:37.954
  • That we made a decision to move on without god's
  • 00:05:37.954 --> 00:05:40.890
  • Blessing to begin with.
  • 00:05:40.890 --> 00:05:44.127
  • So what does god do?
  • 00:05:44.594 --> 00:05:45.995
  • He sends his son jesus to give us truth.
  • 00:05:45.995 --> 00:05:49.565
  • And in acts chapter three, verse
  • 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:51.801
  • 22 to 26, he calls him a prophet.
  • 00:05:51.801 --> 00:05:54.904
  • And he reminds him of what moses says from amongst you
  • 00:05:54.904 --> 00:05:57.607
  • There will be a prophet. and if you reject him,
  • 00:05:57.607 --> 00:05:59.876
  • You will be cut off from your people.
  • 00:05:59.876 --> 00:06:03.079
  • So this is what happened.
  • 00:06:03.646 --> 00:06:05.782
  • God raised the prophet
  • 00:06:05.782 --> 00:06:08.017
  • Religion crucified him, and grace resurrected him.
  • 00:06:08.017 --> 00:06:12.288
  • My question for you is will
  • 00:06:12.288 --> 00:06:13.856
  • You receive him and the gifts that he brings?
  • 00:06:13.856 --> 00:06:17.260
  • Because ignoring jesus isn't just unbelief,
  • 00:06:17.260 --> 00:06:20.463
  • It's self-destruction in disguise.
  • 00:06:20.463 --> 00:06:24.801
  • It's not until a life presents enough pain
  • 00:06:25.668 --> 00:06:28.871
  • That it cripples us back to the feet of jesus.
  • 00:06:28.871 --> 00:06:34.610
  • Point number two.
  • 00:06:35.044 --> 00:06:38.314
  • I'll go ahead and forewarn you.
  • 00:06:38.948 --> 00:06:40.082
  • This one gonna get real sticky.
  • 00:06:40.082 --> 00:06:43.386
  • Prophecy always points to a person,
  • 00:06:43.386 --> 00:06:46.489
  • Not just a prediction.
  • 00:06:46.989 --> 00:06:50.460
  • Peter teaches them
  • 00:06:50.893 --> 00:06:52.528
  • A prophet is going to come among you,
  • 00:06:52.528 --> 00:06:55.465
  • And he's going to speak the heart of the father.
  • 00:06:55.465 --> 00:06:58.534
  • He's going to speak the mind of god. why?
  • 00:06:59.435 --> 00:07:02.104
  • Because prophecy always points to a person.
  • 00:07:02.104 --> 00:07:04.173
  • What this prophecy point to.
  • 00:07:04.173 --> 00:07:05.274
  • Prophecy always points to jesus.
  • 00:07:05.274 --> 00:07:07.243
  • So hear me. hear me loud and clear.
  • 00:07:07.243 --> 00:07:09.645
  • Your favorite tiktok prophet is not a prophet.
  • 00:07:09.645 --> 00:07:12.949
  • That is a witch.
  • 00:07:13.349 --> 00:07:16.652
  • How do i know?
  • 00:07:16.986 --> 00:07:19.489
  • Because prophecy always points
  • 00:07:19.489 --> 00:07:21.224
  • To the person of jesus, not just a prediction.
  • 00:07:21.224 --> 00:07:24.393
  • And if that person is predicting the premature death
  • 00:07:24.393 --> 00:07:27.697
  • Of someone else, they are not a prophet sent by god.
  • 00:07:27.697 --> 00:07:31.100
  • They are a witch sent by a demon.
  • 00:07:31.100 --> 00:07:36.572
  • Y'all keep sending me these fake prophets.
  • 00:07:37.473 --> 00:07:39.742
  • What do i think?
  • 00:07:39.742 --> 00:07:40.877
  • What i think i'm telling you what i think that is a demon
  • 00:07:40.877 --> 00:07:43.513
  • Talking to you
  • 00:07:43.880 --> 00:07:45.214
  • Who has not tapped into the gift of the holy spirit.
  • 00:07:45.214 --> 00:07:48.017
  • Someone has been in their closet opening up their third eye
  • 00:07:48.017 --> 00:07:51.654
  • Into the realm of darkness to give you predictions
  • 00:07:51.654 --> 00:07:54.724
  • About the future that does not come from god.
  • 00:07:54.724 --> 00:07:57.527
  • How do i know it doesn't come from god?
  • 00:07:57.527 --> 00:07:59.495
  • I'll show you in scripture how i know it doesn't come from god.
  • 00:07:59.495 --> 00:08:02.398
  • In first
  • 00:08:02.398 --> 00:08:03.599
  • Corinthians chapter 14, verse three, on the other hand,
  • 00:08:03.599 --> 00:08:06.035
  • The one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding
  • 00:08:06.035 --> 00:08:10.139
  • And encouragement and exhortation.
  • 00:08:10.139 --> 00:08:12.575
  • So any prophecy
  • 00:08:12.575 --> 00:08:14.043
  • That does not build
  • 00:08:14.043 --> 00:08:14.977
  • Your spirit does not lift up
  • 00:08:14.977 --> 00:08:16.746
  • The king of kings, and the lord of lords
  • 00:08:16.746 --> 00:08:18.781
  • Does not exhort you into becomin more like jesus christ.
  • 00:08:18.781 --> 00:08:22.118
  • It's not a prophecy.
  • 00:08:22.118 --> 00:08:23.819
  • It is a prediction given to you by a witch,
  • 00:08:23.819 --> 00:08:26.355
  • And you need to cut that mess off. it's no different.
  • 00:08:26.355 --> 00:08:29.125
  • The calling miss cleo called me now for your free reading
  • 00:08:29.125 --> 00:08:32.562
  • And you wonder why are these demons following you?
  • 00:08:32.562 --> 00:08:35.531
  • It's because you entertaining demons.
  • 00:08:35.531 --> 00:08:47.176
  • So if jesus isn't the headline
  • 00:08:47.777 --> 00:08:49.845
  • Of every prophetic footnote, it does not come from jesus.
  • 00:08:49.845 --> 00:08:54.016
  • The prophets in the bible didn't just forecast events,
  • 00:08:55.084 --> 00:08:58.688
  • They framed eternity around the soon and coming king.
  • 00:08:58.688 --> 00:09:03.426
  • So stop chasing signs and start surrendering to the savior
  • 00:09:03.426 --> 00:09:07.496
  • And he'll tell you everything you need to know.
  • 00:09:07.496 --> 00:09:11.300
  • Every single prophet had one job,
  • 00:09:12.034 --> 00:09:14.604
  • And that was to declare that there was a king coming,
  • 00:09:14.604 --> 00:09:18.107
  • And to make way for the king and get your life right.
  • 00:09:18.107 --> 00:09:21.210
  • Repent, for the kingdom of god is at hand.
  • 00:09:21.210 --> 00:09:23.913
  • It wasn't to tell you in a week
  • 00:09:23.913 --> 00:09:25.581
  • This is what's going to happen with the weather in two years.
  • 00:09:25.581 --> 00:09:27.984
  • This is what's going to happen to your finances
  • 00:09:27.984 --> 00:09:29.819
  • And let me prophesy to you.
  • 00:09:29.819 --> 00:09:31.087
  • Come on, give me $37 and i'll tell you the mind of god.
  • 00:09:31.087 --> 00:09:33.923
  • That's.
  • 00:09:33.923 --> 00:09:42.031
  • So don't tell me you got a word for me.
  • 00:09:42.832 --> 00:09:44.600
  • If the word has not cut you first.
  • 00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:48.004
  • If the word didn't shape you in secret,
  • 00:09:48.838 --> 00:09:50.706
  • Don't try to share it in public.
  • 00:09:50.706 --> 00:09:54.610
  • Here,
  • 00:09:54.844 --> 00:09:56.245
  • A platform without a prayer.
  • 00:09:56.245 --> 00:09:57.546
  • Life is a performance.
  • 00:09:57.546 --> 00:09:59.181
  • And god doesn't bless performances.
  • 00:09:59.181 --> 00:10:01.183
  • He blesses obedience.
  • 00:10:01.183 --> 00:10:02.752
  • Can i get a good amen on that?
  • 00:10:02.752 --> 00:10:06.022
  • So if you're not rooted in scripture,
  • 00:10:06.822 --> 00:10:09.892
  • You are just another echo.
  • 00:10:09.892 --> 00:10:12.228
  • Loud,
  • 00:10:12.228 --> 00:10:14.163
  • Distracting,
  • 00:10:14.163 --> 00:10:16.165
  • And annoying.
  • 00:10:16.165 --> 00:10:17.967
  • Go have a seat.
  • 00:10:17.967 --> 00:10:20.036
  • Sit down
  • 00:10:20.036 --> 00:10:21.971
  • In the name of jesus.
  • 00:10:21.971 --> 00:10:24.040
  • Stop calling yourself prophet and prophetess
  • 00:10:24.040 --> 00:10:26.575
  • And you not submit it to godly leadership.
  • 00:10:26.575 --> 00:10:29.412
  • Y'all not talking to me? it's okay.
  • 00:10:29.412 --> 00:10:30.913
  • I'll talk to myself.
  • 00:10:30.913 --> 00:10:32.448
  • Stop calling yourself a prophet and a prophetess
  • 00:10:32.448 --> 00:10:35.751
  • And you can't control your flesh.
  • 00:10:35.751 --> 00:10:45.127
  • Because it's malpractice
  • 00:10:45.661 --> 00:10:47.763
  • To say you got a word from the presence of god
  • 00:10:47.763 --> 00:10:50.866
  • And being between someone else in sheets.
  • 00:10:50.866 --> 00:10:52.702
  • The same day you gave them the prophecy.
  • 00:10:52.702 --> 00:11:03.846
  • Point number three.
  • 00:11:04.313 --> 00:11:08.150
  • You are the heirs
  • 00:11:08.584 --> 00:11:09.985
  • Of a holy assignment.
  • 00:11:09.985 --> 00:11:13.055
  • Peter tells them
  • 00:11:13.055 --> 00:11:14.590
  • That you are the sons and the daughters of the prophets.
  • 00:11:14.590 --> 00:11:18.060
  • You're not just a spectator,
  • 00:11:18.060 --> 00:11:20.296
  • You are also a steward.
  • 00:11:20.296 --> 00:11:23.165
  • Did you hear what i said?
  • 00:11:23.165 --> 00:11:24.734
  • You are a steward, which means you have
  • 00:11:24.734 --> 00:11:28.204
  • A responsibility to steward what god has given you.
  • 00:11:28.204 --> 00:11:31.440
  • Well, the gifts, the talents, the resources,
  • 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:34.310
  • The abilities that god has blessed you with.
  • 00:11:34.310 --> 00:11:36.545
  • You don't own them. you are stewards of them.
  • 00:11:36.545 --> 00:11:39.215
  • So don't think to yourself
  • 00:11:39.215 --> 00:11:40.783
  • You have gotten to where you have gotten
  • 00:11:40.783 --> 00:11:42.418
  • Because of your gifting and your ability.
  • 00:11:42.418 --> 00:11:44.487
  • No deuteronomy teaches us
  • 00:11:44.487 --> 00:11:46.122
  • It is he who gives us these abilities.
  • 00:11:46.122 --> 00:11:48.457
  • And when we forget who has given us the abilities,
  • 00:11:48.457 --> 00:11:50.726
  • We become our own god and we become our own idols.
  • 00:11:50.726 --> 00:11:53.562
  • And we stop leaning into the presence of god
  • 00:11:53.562 --> 00:11:55.431
  • Because we think we don't need him.
  • 00:11:55.431 --> 00:11:56.899
  • And the reality is, is success is one of the greatest curses
  • 00:11:56.899 --> 00:12:00.336
  • That god could ever give us.
  • 00:12:00.336 --> 00:12:02.371
  • Because when we get successful in something,
  • 00:12:03.272 --> 00:12:05.107
  • We start pursuing god in that area
  • 00:12:05.107 --> 00:12:06.709
  • Because we're already successful in it.
  • 00:12:06.709 --> 00:12:09.044
  • Don't make success an idol.
  • 00:12:09.044 --> 00:12:16.652
  • Success is a dangerous
  • 00:12:17.119 --> 00:12:18.254
  • Things in the wrong hands.
  • 00:12:18.254 --> 00:12:21.524
  • And so god will allow you to struggle
  • 00:12:22.358 --> 00:12:25.561
  • Until he can trust you with success.
  • 00:12:25.561 --> 00:12:33.169
  • And he'll keep you at his feet.
  • 00:12:33.803 --> 00:12:36.639
  • And he'll keep those prayers you've been praying
  • 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.441
  • Pushed off until you mature enough.
  • 00:12:39.441 --> 00:12:42.478
  • You grow up enough
  • 00:12:42.912 --> 00:12:45.114
  • To steward what he's allowed you to steward
  • 00:12:45.114 --> 00:12:47.883
  • Well. you are not a spectator.
  • 00:12:47.883 --> 00:12:51.053
  • You are a steward.
  • 00:12:51.053 --> 00:12:53.322
  • You are the heirs of a holy assignment.
  • 00:12:53.322 --> 00:12:57.760
  • Not just any assignment, a holy assignment.
  • 00:12:57.760 --> 00:13:01.597
  • Inheritance isn't just what you get,
  • 00:13:01.597 --> 00:13:04.400
  • It's what you carry.
  • 00:13:04.400 --> 00:13:07.636
  • I'll say it again.
  • 00:13:07.636 --> 00:13:08.504
  • Inheritance is not just what you get.
  • 00:13:08.504 --> 00:13:11.073
  • It's in what you carry.
  • 00:13:11.073 --> 00:13:12.541
  • You carry the presence of the most high god.
  • 00:13:12.541 --> 00:13:16.045
  • Act like it.
  • 00:13:16.378 --> 00:13:18.247
  • Did you hear what i said?
  • 00:13:18.247 --> 00:13:19.715
  • You carry the presence of the most high god in genesis.
  • 00:13:19.715 --> 00:13:23.219
  • He said, let us make mankind in our image.
  • 00:13:23.219 --> 00:13:25.788
  • After our own likeness.
  • 00:13:25.788 --> 00:13:27.189
  • Which means that the same power
  • 00:13:27.189 --> 00:13:29.425
  • That resurrected jesus from the dead
  • 00:13:29.425 --> 00:13:31.327
  • Is the same power that you carry.
  • 00:13:31.327 --> 00:13:33.329
  • Stop walking around with your head down and
  • 00:13:33.329 --> 00:13:35.731
  • And acting like you don't have victory over the various trials
  • 00:13:35.731 --> 00:13:39.034
  • And tribulations that the enemy has brought into your life.
  • 00:13:39.034 --> 00:13:41.837
  • God said, if i before you, who or what
  • 00:13:41.837 --> 00:13:44.073
  • Can stand against you, you are victorious.
  • 00:13:44.073 --> 00:13:46.642
  • It's time for you to start acting like it.
  • 00:13:46.642 --> 00:13:48.577
  • When you understand
  • 00:13:48.577 --> 00:13:49.678
  • That you are an heir to the kingdom of god
  • 00:13:49.678 --> 00:13:51.847
  • And a holy assignment.
  • 00:13:51.847 --> 00:13:53.349
  • You don't walk around like you defeated.
  • 00:13:53.349 --> 00:13:58.787
  • You aren't just called to believe the covenant.
  • 00:13:59.722 --> 00:14:01.991
  • You're called to become the evidence of it.
  • 00:14:01.991 --> 00:14:05.327
  • I said you are the evidence of the covenant
  • 00:14:06.195 --> 00:14:08.497
  • God has made with you.
  • 00:14:08.497 --> 00:14:10.532
  • The reason you are still here is because you are evidence
  • 00:14:10.532 --> 00:14:13.569
  • Of the covenant god made with you.
  • 00:14:13.569 --> 00:14:15.604
  • The enemy threw everything
  • 00:14:15.604 --> 00:14:17.106
  • He could at you, and you're still standing.
  • 00:14:17.106 --> 00:14:19.775
  • You're still here.
  • 00:14:19.775 --> 00:14:20.976
  • That is evidence of the faithfulness of god.
  • 00:14:20.976 --> 00:14:23.412
  • And i wish i had a few people that understood.
  • 00:14:23.412 --> 00:14:26.415
  • Come hell or high water.
  • 00:14:26.415 --> 00:14:28.250
  • God is keeping me.
  • 00:14:28.250 --> 00:14:29.885
  • God is lifting me.
  • 00:14:29.885 --> 00:14:31.387
  • God is covering me.
  • 00:14:31.387 --> 00:14:32.955
  • God is protecting me.
  • 00:14:32.955 --> 00:14:34.490
  • Oh, i know the power of the holy spirit.
  • 00:14:34.490 --> 00:14:36.659
  • I said, god is covering you.
  • 00:14:36.659 --> 00:14:40.496
  • And do i evidence of the faithfulness of god.
  • 00:14:41.463 --> 00:14:44.400
  • I said, you are evidence of the faithfulness of god.
  • 00:14:44.400 --> 00:14:47.269
  • You are evidence of the faithfulness of god.
  • 00:14:47.269 --> 00:14:56.979
  • So hear me.
  • 00:14:57.313 --> 00:15:01.150
  • Don't waste
  • 00:15:01.483 --> 00:15:04.553
  • A prophetic legacy.
  • 00:15:04.553 --> 00:15:07.056
  • Living a passive life.
  • 00:15:07.056 --> 00:15:11.093
  • God didn't bring you this far
  • 00:15:11.727 --> 00:15:13.062
  • To watch you play it safe with sacred responsibility.
  • 00:15:13.062 --> 00:15:16.532
  • You carry the presence of god.
  • 00:15:17.132 --> 00:15:20.736
  • You carry the almighty god on the inside of you.
  • 00:15:20.736 --> 00:15:23.906
  • In genesis it said it spoke to darkness
  • 00:15:23.906 --> 00:15:26.675
  • And separated it from light.
  • 00:15:26.675 --> 00:15:28.410
  • He spoke to land and separated it from sea.
  • 00:15:28.410 --> 00:15:30.980
  • He spoke those things into existence.
  • 00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:33.015
  • And he said, i give you the same authority
  • 00:15:33.015 --> 00:15:35.351
  • And the same dominion.
  • 00:15:35.351 --> 00:15:36.852
  • You got to be very careful with what you say
  • 00:15:36.852 --> 00:15:38.954
  • Because of who you carry and the things that you say.
  • 00:15:38.954 --> 00:15:41.557
  • You have to expect to see.
  • 00:15:41.557 --> 00:15:43.025
  • So if you say the wrong thing,
  • 00:15:43.025 --> 00:15:44.393
  • You can expect to see the wrong thing
  • 00:15:44.393 --> 00:15:46.028
  • Because of who's at work on the inside of you.
  • 00:15:46.028 --> 00:15:48.097
  • But when you understand, greater is he
  • 00:15:48.097 --> 00:15:50.065
  • That's in me than he that's in the world.
  • 00:15:50.065 --> 00:15:52.201
  • You bring yourself to the conclusion
  • 00:15:52.201 --> 00:15:53.836
  • That there is a mountain in my way.
  • 00:15:53.836 --> 00:15:55.571
  • I speak to that mountain, and that mountain has to be removed.
  • 00:15:55.571 --> 00:15:59.041
  • And if that mountain is not removed,
  • 00:15:59.041 --> 00:16:00.743
  • Then that means god wants me to come that mountain.
  • 00:16:00.743 --> 00:16:03.145
  • He wants me to scale that mountain.
  • 00:16:03.145 --> 00:16:04.880
  • He wants me to get over that mountain.
  • 00:16:04.880 --> 00:16:06.515
  • I'm telling you, you got power and authority
  • 00:16:06.515 --> 00:16:09.785
  • Because you are the evidence of the covenant of god.
  • 00:16:09.785 --> 00:16:30.539
  • Point number four.
  • 00:16:30.973 --> 00:16:33.275
  • Let me see what scripture says.
  • 00:16:33.275 --> 00:16:39.515
  • Repentance
  • 00:16:39.815 --> 00:16:42.151
  • Is the real blessing.
  • 00:16:42.151 --> 00:16:46.088
  • So peter ends this passage
  • 00:16:46.655 --> 00:16:50.559
  • With the scandalous blessing.
  • 00:16:51.193 --> 00:16:54.596
  • Helping them turn from wickedness
  • 00:16:55.330 --> 00:16:58.600
  • Towards mercy.
  • 00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:01.236
  • So hear me.
  • 00:17:01.236 --> 00:17:03.005
  • The greatest blessing in this life
  • 00:17:03.005 --> 00:17:05.107
  • Isn't wealth.
  • 00:17:05.107 --> 00:17:08.377
  • The greatest blessing in this life
  • 00:17:08.377 --> 00:17:11.914
  • Is stewarding a heart that no longer
  • 00:17:11.914 --> 00:17:14.016
  • Wants to sin.
  • 00:17:14.016 --> 00:17:22.624
  • The greatest blessing in this life
  • 00:17:23.392 --> 00:17:26.295
  • Is when the holy spirit rings out of you.
  • 00:17:26.295 --> 00:17:29.064
  • Everything that separated you from his presence
  • 00:17:29.064 --> 00:17:32.067
  • And reminds you that you are a son
  • 00:17:32.067 --> 00:17:34.403
  • And a daughter of the most high god.
  • 00:17:34.403 --> 00:17:37.306
  • It's not how much money is in your bank account.
  • 00:17:37.306 --> 00:17:39.775
  • It's not how many cars you got in your driveway.
  • 00:17:39.775 --> 00:17:42.344
  • It's not how many square feet your house is.
  • 00:17:42.344 --> 00:17:44.780
  • It's not what you do for a living.
  • 00:17:44.780 --> 00:17:46.648
  • It is a heart that is run free of the ability
  • 00:17:46.648 --> 00:17:50.519
  • To sin and go to sleep at night.
  • 00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:58.427
  • The greatest blessing isn't wealth.
  • 00:17:59.161 --> 00:18:01.630
  • It isn't influence. it. it's affluence.
  • 00:18:01.630 --> 00:18:03.799
  • It's a heart that no longer wants to sit.
  • 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:13.809
  • A heart that says, god,
  • 00:18:14.309 --> 00:18:15.444
  • Here i am.
  • 00:18:15.444 --> 00:18:19.248
  • I'm feeble.
  • 00:18:19.581 --> 00:18:20.215
  • I'm fragile.
  • 00:18:20.215 --> 00:18:22.451
  • I'm broken.
  • 00:18:22.451 --> 00:18:24.620
  • But i'm yours. and.
  • 00:18:24.620 --> 00:18:31.493
  • You are the only one.
  • 00:18:31.994 --> 00:18:35.330
  • That can take this broken vessel.
  • 00:18:35.330 --> 00:18:42.871
  • And put me back together again.
  • 00:18:43.505 --> 00:18:52.548
  • And fill me with your presence.
  • 00:18:53.182 --> 00:18:58.320
  • And remind me
  • 00:18:58.687 --> 00:18:59.588
  • That i have a life worth living.
  • 00:18:59.588 --> 00:19:03.225
  • Because you are at work
  • 00:19:03.725 --> 00:19:06.094
  • On the inside of me.
  • 00:19:06.094 --> 00:19:10.165
  • So i don't care how much you have.
  • 00:19:10.899 --> 00:19:12.834
  • I don't care what life you come from. i don't care
  • 00:19:12.834 --> 00:19:15.337
  • What what neighborhood your zip code is at.
  • 00:19:15.337 --> 00:19:17.406
  • I don't care as long as you have the gift of repentance at work
  • 00:19:17.406 --> 00:19:22.244
  • On the inside of you,
  • 00:19:22.244 --> 00:19:23.512
  • And god is bringing out of you those issues that lead
  • 00:19:23.512 --> 00:19:26.615
  • You back to sin, and that leads you back to his feet.
  • 00:19:26.615 --> 00:19:29.785
  • That is the greatest blessing in the world that you could
  • 00:19:29.785 --> 00:19:33.655
  • Ever have in this life.
  • 00:19:33.655 --> 00:19:42.264
  • To humble yourself.
  • 00:19:42.731 --> 00:19:47.302
  • And to
  • 00:19:47.502 --> 00:19:48.337
  • Say, god, without you, i cant make it.
  • 00:19:48.337 --> 00:19:53.008
  • Without you
  • 00:19:53.342 --> 00:19:53.976
  • I am nothing but with you.
  • 00:19:53.976 --> 00:19:59.681
  • I more than i could ever dream.
  • 00:20:00.315 --> 00:20:04.052
  • For with men some things are possible.
  • 00:20:04.886 --> 00:20:06.755
  • But with you all things are possible.
  • 00:20:06.755 --> 00:20:10.792
  • It's even possible that you can
  • 00:20:11.426 --> 00:20:13.362
  • Fix me.
  • 00:20:13.362 --> 00:20:18.300
  • See, i know me.
  • 00:20:18.667 --> 00:20:19.768
  • I don't know you, but you know you.
  • 00:20:19.768 --> 00:20:21.403
  • And you know what god has delivered you from.
  • 00:20:21.403 --> 00:20:23.372
  • And he desires to use you in your frailty,
  • 00:20:23.372 --> 00:20:25.974
  • In your brokenness,
  • 00:20:25.974 --> 00:20:27.209
  • In your malfunctions, and in your old habits.
  • 00:20:27.209 --> 00:20:29.678
  • He desires to take those broken pieces,
  • 00:20:29.678 --> 00:20:31.913
  • Put them back together again, and then fill you with
  • 00:20:31.913 --> 00:20:34.383
  • His presence because he is that good.
  • 00:20:34.383 --> 00:20:40.155
  • And that is the grace of jesus christ
  • 00:20:40.889 --> 00:20:45.060
  • Given to us through the gift of repentance.
  • 00:20:45.060 --> 00:20:51.533
  • And so
  • 00:20:51.733 --> 00:20:52.567
  • Repentance is it god punishing you?
  • 00:20:52.567 --> 00:20:55.904
  • It's god pulling
  • 00:20:56.305 --> 00:20:57.205
  • You back into your purpose.
  • 00:20:57.205 --> 00:21:01.943
  • Repentance.
  • 00:21:02.277 --> 00:21:03.478
  • Is god reminding you that there's a life he has for you
  • 00:21:03.478 --> 00:21:06.982
  • That's greater than the life you're living right now.
  • 00:21:06.982 --> 00:21:15.257
  • It's god telling you.
  • 00:21:15.757 --> 00:21:18.927
  • That you are not what you have done.
  • 00:21:18.927 --> 00:21:22.497
  • You are still a son.
  • 00:21:22.964 --> 00:21:25.567
  • You're still a daughter.
  • 00:21:25.567 --> 00:21:31.406
  • And what we have to understand
  • 00:21:32.007 --> 00:21:33.308
  • In this life.
  • 00:21:33.308 --> 00:21:36.411
  • The blessing of god
  • 00:21:36.878 --> 00:21:37.979
  • Isn't always more.
  • 00:21:37.979 --> 00:21:41.249
  • The blessing of god
  • 00:21:41.717 --> 00:21:42.818
  • Is often less of what has been killing you.
  • 00:21:42.818 --> 00:21:47.322
  • I'll say it again.
  • 00:21:47.756 --> 00:21:48.924
  • The blessing of god isn█t always more.
  • 00:21:48.924 --> 00:21:50.959
  • Sometimes the blessing of god is less
  • 00:21:50.959 --> 00:21:53.495
  • Of what has been killing you and separating you from him
  • 00:21:53.495 --> 00:21:56.932
  • And pulling you out of his presence
  • 00:21:56.932 --> 00:21:58.934
  • And reminding you of everything that the enemy told you.
  • 00:21:58.934 --> 00:22:01.570
  • Sometimes the blessing of god
  • 00:22:01.570 --> 00:22:03.271
  • Is just simply reminding you
  • 00:22:03.271 --> 00:22:04.806
  • That i love you because i love you,
  • 00:22:04.806 --> 00:22:06.441
  • Because i love you, because i love you,
  • 00:22:06.441 --> 00:22:07.876
  • Because i love you, because i love you.
  • 00:22:07.876 --> 00:22:09.411
  • I know you made that mistake. i know you did that yesterday.
  • 00:22:09.411 --> 00:22:11.913
  • I know you did this ten years ago, but i love you.
  • 00:22:11.913 --> 00:22:14.015
  • And so i'm asking you
  • 00:22:14.015 --> 00:22:15.317
  • To activate
  • 00:22:15.317 --> 00:22:16.551
  • The gift of repentance so that you can be back into my presence
  • 00:22:16.551 --> 00:22:19.921
  • And fulfill your god given purpose.
  • 00:22:19.921 --> 00:22:27.496
  • So you
  • 00:22:27.696 --> 00:22:28.630
  • Don't just stand in the shadow of prophecy.
  • 00:22:28.630 --> 00:22:31.967
  • You stand in the light of the fulfillment of everything
  • 00:22:31.967 --> 00:22:34.703
  • Jesus fulfilled because he is the prophecy.
  • 00:22:34.703 --> 00:22:38.540
  • So as peter is talking to this group
  • 00:22:39.307 --> 00:22:42.811
  • Of listeners, he's a binding them of deuteronomy
  • 00:22:42.811 --> 00:22:45.480
  • Chapter 18, verse 18 through 19, which says, i will raise up
  • 00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.951
  • For them a prophet like you from among the brothers,
  • 00:22:49.951 --> 00:22:53.155
  • And i will put my words in his mouth,
  • 00:22:53.955 --> 00:22:57.426
  • And he shall speak to them all that i command him.
  • 00:22:57.426 --> 00:23:01.029
  • And whoever will not
  • 00:23:01.029 --> 00:23:02.130
  • Listen to my words, that he shall speak in my name.
  • 00:23:02.130 --> 00:23:05.300
  • I myself will require of him.
  • 00:23:05.300 --> 00:23:10.605
  • That word raise up in hebrew.
  • 00:23:11.239 --> 00:23:15.043
  • It means to unrolled
  • 00:23:15.510 --> 00:23:17.612
  • Like a scroll for public reading.
  • 00:23:17.612 --> 00:23:21.583
  • So when god says in deuteronomy
  • 00:23:22.217 --> 00:23:25.020
  • That i will raise up for you a prophet,
  • 00:23:25.020 --> 00:23:27.222
  • He's saying, i'm going to put before you a living scroll
  • 00:23:27.222 --> 00:23:31.126
  • That is unrolled before you.
  • 00:23:31.126 --> 00:23:33.662
  • The way the new testament begins
  • 00:23:34.296 --> 00:23:37.699
  • In the beginning was the word,
  • 00:23:37.699 --> 00:23:40.469
  • And the word was with god,
  • 00:23:40.469 --> 00:23:42.938
  • And the word was god.
  • 00:23:42.938 --> 00:23:45.540
  • And so acts chapter three, verses 22 to 26,
  • 00:23:45.540 --> 00:23:49.344
  • Isn't a prophecy about jesus being a part of the prophecy?
  • 00:23:49.344 --> 00:23:53.815
  • It's a declaration that jesus fulfilled the prophecy,
  • 00:23:53.815 --> 00:23:57.152
  • And he is the complete and totality
  • 00:23:57.152 --> 00:23:59.287
  • Of all fulfillment of scriptures.
  • 00:23:59.287 --> 00:24:01.556
  • It gets folded
  • 00:24:01.556 --> 00:24:02.691
  • And it gets fulfilled because jesus is all that
  • 00:24:02.691 --> 00:24:05.827
  • We have need of and so much more.
  • 00:24:05.827 --> 00:24:07.929
  • So what he's telling us is that jesus, he finishes the work,
  • 00:24:07.929 --> 00:24:12.300
  • And he allows us to work out the finished work
  • 00:24:12.300 --> 00:24:15.036
  • Of what he's already done.
  • 00:24:15.036 --> 00:24:16.705
  • The scroll doesn't get passed on to another prophet.
  • 00:24:16.705 --> 00:24:19.608
  • The scroll gets rolled up because the prophecy has now
  • 00:24:19.608 --> 00:24:23.211
  • Been fulfilled.
  • 00:24:23.211 --> 00:24:24.379
  • And i need you to understand
  • 00:24:24.379 --> 00:24:26.281
  • That when you accept jesus into your life,
  • 00:24:26.281 --> 00:24:28.650
  • You're not just accepting a prophet.
  • 00:24:28.650 --> 00:24:30.685
  • You are receiving the messiah.
  • 00:24:30.685 --> 00:24:32.487
  • You are receiving the savior.
  • 00:24:32.487 --> 00:24:34.055
  • You are receiving the true and living king,
  • 00:24:34.055 --> 00:24:36.191
  • The one that can set you up for a life of eternity
  • 00:24:36.191 --> 00:24:39.194
  • That you can't give yourself.
  • 00:24:39.194 --> 00:24:40.762
  • And with that comes promises
  • 00:24:40.762 --> 00:24:42.597
  • That have to be fulfilled because he spoke them.
  • 00:24:42.597 --> 00:24:48.537
  • So, simply put,
  • 00:24:48.937 --> 00:24:51.806
  • A life in jesus.
  • 00:24:51.806 --> 00:24:54.276
  • It's a life of fulfillment
  • 00:24:54.276 --> 00:24:56.945
  • Because the prophet always comes
  • 00:24:56.945 --> 00:24:59.381
  • With promises.
  • 00:24:59.381 --> 00:25:02.617
  • I sure do hope you're blessed by the word of god today.
  • 00:25:03.752 --> 00:25:06.888
  • I've loved our journey together through the book of acts,
  • 00:25:06.888 --> 00:25:10.559
  • And i know that god is just starting.
  • 00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:13.028
  • He's just beginning to unpack and unveil his promises
  • 00:25:13.028 --> 00:25:16.798
  • Towards us through scripture.
  • 00:25:16.798 --> 00:25:18.366
  • And so i want to encourage you
  • 00:25:18.366 --> 00:25:19.401
  • To continue to go on this journey with us
  • 00:25:19.401 --> 00:25:21.336
  • As we continue to march to the book of acts and,
  • 00:25:21.336 --> 00:25:24.306
  • Pull out of it, glean out of it
  • 00:25:24.306 --> 00:25:26.474
  • Everything that jesus has for us.
  • 00:25:26.474 --> 00:25:29.377
  • And this broadcast has been a blessing to you.
  • 00:25:29.377 --> 00:25:32.180
  • I pray that you would prayerfully
  • 00:25:32.180 --> 00:25:34.015
  • Consider partnering with us.
  • 00:25:34.015 --> 00:25:35.917
  • There is no contribution, no partnership to large
  • 00:25:35.917 --> 00:25:38.687
  • Or to small.
  • 00:25:38.687 --> 00:25:39.354
  • Everything matters in helping us
  • 00:25:39.354 --> 00:25:41.256
  • Get this message that we believe in
  • 00:25:41.256 --> 00:25:43.625
  • And to the hearts and into the spirits of those
  • 00:25:43.625 --> 00:25:46.027
  • That need it the most.
  • 00:25:46.027 --> 00:25:47.329
  • And so our team is going to throw
  • 00:25:47.329 --> 00:25:48.363

  • To spread the gospel of jesus christ all around the world.

  • I want to pray for those that are believing.

  • I want to pray for those that have a request in a petition.
