  • 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:17.567
  • Hey, family is tim timberlake of celebration
  • 00:00:17.567 --> 00:00:19.736
  • Church, and i am excited about the word
  • 00:00:19.736 --> 00:00:22.305
  • That god has given me for our time today.
  • 00:00:22.305 --> 00:00:25.208
  • The word of god
  • 00:00:25.208 --> 00:00:26.276
  • Teaches us in acts chapter three, verse 17 to 21.
  • 00:00:26.276 --> 00:00:29.379
  • There's a time of repentance,
  • 00:00:29.379 --> 00:00:30.814
  • But there's also a time of refreshing.
  • 00:00:30.814 --> 00:00:32.916
  • Let's go into the word of god
  • 00:00:32.916 --> 00:00:34.084
  • As we learn the true intent of r & r.
  • 00:00:34.084 --> 00:00:37.520
  • There is one more demographic of people i believe, that
  • 00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:40.490
  • This text is angled towards in 2025,
  • 00:00:40.490 --> 00:00:43.593
  • And that is the silent majority in the church.
  • 00:00:43.593 --> 00:00:48.965
  • This is the group of people
  • 00:00:49.566 --> 00:00:50.667
  • Who watch truth be crucified, but said nothing to
  • 00:00:50.667 --> 00:00:54.404
  • Those who stood by our culture,
  • 00:00:55.071 --> 00:00:56.873
  • Redefine who christ was.
  • 00:00:56.873 --> 00:01:00.176
  • Those who choose comfort over conviction.
  • 00:01:00.176 --> 00:01:04.147
  • This is the people who settle in the temple, but not in truth.
  • 00:01:04.147 --> 00:01:09.819
  • He's not preaching
  • 00:01:10.253 --> 00:01:12.622
  • To people who don't know who jesus is.
  • 00:01:12.622 --> 00:01:15.925
  • He's preaching to people who saw
  • 00:01:16.559 --> 00:01:17.961
  • Jesus heal, who saw jesus deliver,
  • 00:01:17.961 --> 00:01:21.564
  • Who saw jesus set free, who saw jesus be crucified,
  • 00:01:21.564 --> 00:01:25.235
  • Buried, and his body not be found.
  • 00:01:25.969 --> 00:01:29.973
  • But they have settled,
  • 00:01:30.440 --> 00:01:33.610
  • And peter is urging them,
  • 00:01:33.610 --> 00:01:36.546
  • Repent.
  • 00:01:36.546 --> 00:01:38.882
  • You made idols
  • 00:01:38.882 --> 00:01:41.084
  • Where you shouldn't have.
  • 00:01:41.084 --> 00:01:44.754
  • And some of you
  • 00:01:45.121 --> 00:01:45.788
  • Have made idols in your life.
  • 00:01:45.788 --> 00:01:49.058
  • And you're not bowing to them,
  • 00:01:49.659 --> 00:01:52.061
  • But you're praising them.
  • 00:01:52.061 --> 00:01:55.598
  • You've made idols of your possessions.
  • 00:01:56.366 --> 00:01:59.002
  • You made idols of your family.
  • 00:01:59.002 --> 00:02:01.037
  • You made idols of your things.
  • 00:02:01.037 --> 00:02:02.639
  • You've made idols of your money.
  • 00:02:02.639 --> 00:02:04.307
  • And you may not worship those things,
  • 00:02:04.307 --> 00:02:06.042
  • But you praise them because you talk about those things
  • 00:02:06.042 --> 00:02:08.344
  • More than you do about jesus christ?
  • 00:02:08.344 --> 00:02:11.881
  • And anything.
  • 00:02:12.248 --> 00:02:13.283
  • Hear me.
  • 00:02:13.283 --> 00:02:14.484
  • Anything that consumes more time than my savior has become.
  • 00:02:14.484 --> 00:02:18.521
  • My god.
  • 00:02:18.521 --> 00:02:23.092
  • And so peter says, repent.
  • 00:02:23.660 --> 00:02:27.463
  • I want you to write this down.
  • 00:02:28.064 --> 00:02:29.332
  • Point number one is this
  • 00:02:29.332 --> 00:02:32.235
  • Repentance clears the clutter
  • 00:02:32.235 --> 00:02:35.271
  • So refreshing can flow.
  • 00:02:35.271 --> 00:02:40.510
  • Hear me?
  • 00:02:40.743 --> 00:02:41.945
  • Sin isn't just a moral issue, it's a spiritual blockage.
  • 00:02:41.945 --> 00:02:46.249
  • Some of you
  • 00:02:46.583 --> 00:02:48.484
  • Have a hard time in worship, lifting your hands
  • 00:02:48.484 --> 00:02:51.354
  • And tapping into the presence of god.
  • 00:02:51.354 --> 00:02:53.523
  • Not because there's something wrong
  • 00:02:53.523 --> 00:02:55.258
  • With the things around you, but there's unrepentant
  • 00:02:55.258 --> 00:02:58.394
  • In your heart that's blocking you from his presence.
  • 00:02:58.394 --> 00:03:02.398
  • There's un repentance at work on the inside of you
  • 00:03:03.433 --> 00:03:05.935
  • That's blocking you from hearing his voice
  • 00:03:05.935 --> 00:03:07.971
  • And feeling his hand
  • 00:03:07.971 --> 00:03:09.372
  • And experiencing the power of god and its not
  • 00:03:09.372 --> 00:03:11.641
  • Until you repent and turn.
  • 00:03:11.641 --> 00:03:13.076
  • Everyone say turn
  • 00:03:13.076 --> 00:03:15.011
  • That you experience the life that he desires for you to live.
  • 00:03:15.011 --> 00:03:19.215
  • When we repent, the dam breaks in our life
  • 00:03:19.215 --> 00:03:22.252
  • And the living water begins to flow.
  • 00:03:22.252 --> 00:03:25.021
  • Psalms
  • 00:03:25.221 --> 00:03:26.122
  • Chapter 51 verse ten says, create in me
  • 00:03:26.122 --> 00:03:28.791
  • A clean heart, o god, and renew in me a right spirit.
  • 00:03:28.791 --> 00:03:33.429
  • And i love this verse because it reminds me
  • 00:03:33.429 --> 00:03:36.366
  • That god won't flood a soul that's still full of old idols.
  • 00:03:36.366 --> 00:03:42.905
  • I want you to do inventory right now.
  • 00:03:43.706 --> 00:03:45.174
  • I want you to think about the things that you have
  • 00:03:45.174 --> 00:03:47.176
  • Resurrected in your life.
  • 00:03:47.176 --> 00:03:48.645
  • That god desires to remain dead.
  • 00:03:48.645 --> 00:03:51.814
  • The people you're still connected to
  • 00:03:51.814 --> 00:03:53.850
  • From the past, they continue to pour you backwards
  • 00:03:53.850 --> 00:03:56.853
  • Instead of push you forward until your god given destiny.
  • 00:03:56.853 --> 00:04:00.223
  • The people that you know are weights that are restricting
  • 00:04:01.324 --> 00:04:04.360
  • You and holding
  • 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:05.328
  • You hostage to a life you no longer live,
  • 00:04:05.328 --> 00:04:07.730
  • But because you don't want to offend them.
  • 00:04:07.730 --> 00:04:09.532
  • You. you are afraid to move forward.
  • 00:04:09.532 --> 00:04:16.472
  • He can't pour new life into a heart
  • 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.142
  • Clogged with old rebellion.
  • 00:04:19.142 --> 00:04:22.545
  • What i've learned about repentance is repentance
  • 00:04:23.513 --> 00:04:26.182
  • Is heaven's bulldozer.
  • 00:04:26.182 --> 00:04:27.950
  • It clears out what pride built.
  • 00:04:27.950 --> 00:04:29.786
  • It clears up what ego built.
  • 00:04:29.786 --> 00:04:31.421
  • It clears out what,
  • 00:04:31.421 --> 00:04:32.522
  • What what what what my anxieties build in my worries.
  • 00:04:32.522 --> 00:04:35.458
  • But when when i repent and i turn away from my sin,
  • 00:04:35.458 --> 00:04:39.162
  • I make an intentional and conscious decision
  • 00:04:39.162 --> 00:04:41.764
  • That i'm no longer
  • 00:04:41.764 --> 00:04:42.865
  • Going to make the decisions that has led me astray
  • 00:04:42.865 --> 00:04:45.902
  • And separated me from god, and provided distance between me
  • 00:04:45.902 --> 00:04:49.839
  • And his presence.
  • 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:50.673
  • When i make an intentional decision
  • 00:04:50.673 --> 00:04:52.308
  • To turn away from that, then i have truly repented
  • 00:04:52.308 --> 00:04:55.645
  • And have gone back to where god desires for me to be.
  • 00:04:55.645 --> 00:05:01.084
  • So the scripture utilizes language that i believe
  • 00:05:02.051 --> 00:05:04.887
  • We need to look at today as we go, word by word, line by line.
  • 00:05:04.887 --> 00:05:08.191
  • It says that your sins may be blotted out.
  • 00:05:08.191 --> 00:05:13.029
  • This is
  • 00:05:13.262 --> 00:05:13.963
  • Legal language for ancient debt.
  • 00:05:13.963 --> 00:05:16.966
  • And the greek blotted out is the word excelinfo,
  • 00:05:17.967 --> 00:05:21.070
  • Which is used in the ancient world
  • 00:05:21.070 --> 00:05:23.272
  • For wiping away ink from a scroll.
  • 00:05:23.272 --> 00:05:27.343
  • Why is this important for us to look at and identify?
  • 00:05:27.343 --> 00:05:30.413
  • Because in the first century, ink did not have acid,
  • 00:05:30.413 --> 00:05:33.883
  • Which means that the ink never absorbed
  • 00:05:33.883 --> 00:05:37.320
  • Into the parchment paper.
  • 00:05:37.320 --> 00:05:39.055
  • So if there was a mistake, or if there was a correction
  • 00:05:39.055 --> 00:05:41.557
  • That needed to be made, it was easily wiped away clean.
  • 00:05:41.557 --> 00:05:45.728
  • And so, in context to this verse,
  • 00:05:45.728 --> 00:05:48.064
  • It means that your record isn't just forgiven.
  • 00:05:48.064 --> 00:05:51.300
  • It is erased.
  • 00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:53.002
  • It's not just crossed out.
  • 00:05:53.002 --> 00:05:54.470
  • It's not just scribbled over.
  • 00:05:54.470 --> 00:05:55.905
  • It is wiped clean like it never existed.
  • 00:05:55.905 --> 00:05:58.674
  • And i don't know about you, but i have some sins in my life
  • 00:05:58.674 --> 00:06:01.778
  • That i'm so glad no one else has ever seen or discovered.
  • 00:06:01.778 --> 00:06:05.782
  • Because jesus, wipe the slate clean.
  • 00:06:05.782 --> 00:06:08.351
  • And that's another passage that i love.
  • 00:06:08.351 --> 00:06:10.219
  • It says he takes your sin.
  • 00:06:10.219 --> 00:06:11.721
  • And he cast him.
  • 00:06:11.721 --> 00:06:12.588
  • As far as the east is from the west,
  • 00:06:12.588 --> 00:06:15.024
  • With no remnants, no remains, no morsels to be discovered
  • 00:06:15.024 --> 00:06:19.162
  • Or found again.
  • 00:06:19.162 --> 00:06:20.196
  • And i wonder, am i
  • 00:06:20.196 --> 00:06:21.431
  • Talking to anybody right now that had great sin in your past?
  • 00:06:21.431 --> 00:06:24.734
  • But he gave you great grace,
  • 00:06:24.734 --> 00:06:26.436
  • And his grace was sufficient for you.
  • 00:06:26.436 --> 00:06:28.438
  • When you couldn't cover yourself,
  • 00:06:28.438 --> 00:06:30.139
  • And you couldn't save yourself
  • 00:06:30.139 --> 00:06:31.774
  • And you couldn't redeem yourself. his grace did.
  • 00:06:31.774 --> 00:06:38.014
  • His grace covered you.
  • 00:06:38.481 --> 00:06:39.515
  • His grace lifted you.
  • 00:06:39.515 --> 00:06:40.550
  • His grace redeemed you. his grace.
  • 00:06:40.550 --> 00:06:43.986
  • It was his grace.
  • 00:06:43.986 --> 00:06:47.023
  • His grace.
  • 00:06:47.023 --> 00:06:49.492
  • And i know you think you're good,
  • 00:06:49.492 --> 00:06:51.961
  • But you're not that good.
  • 00:06:51.961 --> 00:06:54.630
  • And i know you think you're great.
  • 00:06:54.630 --> 00:06:56.232
  • You're not that great.
  • 00:06:56.232 --> 00:06:58.568
  • I know you think you do.
  • 00:06:58.568 --> 00:06:59.402
  • Self. i'm a good person.
  • 00:06:59.402 --> 00:07:00.403
  • Surely i won't go to hell. hear me?
  • 00:07:00.403 --> 00:07:02.004
  • There are plenty of good people in hell.
  • 00:07:02.004 --> 00:07:06.042
  • Let me help you with this revelation.
  • 00:07:06.843 --> 00:07:08.244
  • Hell is not full of bad people.
  • 00:07:08.244 --> 00:07:11.647
  • Hell is full of unrepentant people.
  • 00:07:11.647 --> 00:07:15.551
  • And some of those people, they are good people.
  • 00:07:15.551 --> 00:07:17.753
  • But they were unrepentant.
  • 00:07:17.753 --> 00:07:19.455
  • Some of those people were
  • 00:07:19.455 --> 00:07:20.756
  • Great people, but they were unrepentant,
  • 00:07:20.756 --> 00:07:22.859
  • Which means they did not turn away from their sin.
  • 00:07:22.859 --> 00:07:28.064
  • They may have liked jesus, but they were not in love with him.
  • 00:07:28.064 --> 00:07:33.169
  • They were in
  • 00:07:33.503 --> 00:07:34.504
  • Love with the things that gratify their flesh.
  • 00:07:34.504 --> 00:07:36.939
  • They were in love with the pleasure,
  • 00:07:36.939 --> 00:07:39.141
  • And they were in love with the fulfillment.
  • 00:07:39.141 --> 00:07:40.943
  • And they were in love with satisfying their needs.
  • 00:07:40.943 --> 00:07:43.412
  • And they were in love
  • 00:07:43.412 --> 00:07:44.547
  • With doing all the things that their heart desired,
  • 00:07:44.547 --> 00:07:46.749
  • Instead of what jesus commanded them to do, which was repent.
  • 00:07:46.749 --> 00:07:50.386
  • For the kingdom of god is at hand.
  • 00:07:50.386 --> 00:07:53.890
  • We don't want to hear messages like this, because it causes us
  • 00:07:53.890 --> 00:07:56.459
  • To do inventory and change
  • 00:07:56.459 --> 00:07:58.060
  • And be transformed by the word of god.
  • 00:07:58.060 --> 00:07:59.662
  • We want to hear messages like, okay,
  • 00:07:59.662 --> 00:08:01.397
  • When you pray three times, god's going to open up the roof
  • 00:08:01.397 --> 00:08:04.200
  • And he's going to pour out gold, and you're going to be rich.
  • 00:08:04.200 --> 00:08:06.502
  • And the church goes crazy and people start running.
  • 00:08:06.502 --> 00:08:08.871
  • But when we hear messages that convict our soul
  • 00:08:08.871 --> 00:08:11.541
  • And punch us in the soul
  • 00:08:11.541 --> 00:08:13.009
  • And remind us that we are sinners
  • 00:08:13.009 --> 00:08:14.877
  • In dire need of the great grace that only jesus can give.
  • 00:08:14.877 --> 00:08:18.514
  • Guess what happens? the church remains silent
  • 00:08:18.514 --> 00:08:21.217
  • Because surely we can't be that bad.
  • 00:08:21.217 --> 00:08:29.759
  • 6:00 this morning.
  • 00:08:30.192 --> 00:08:31.394
  • News comes on.
  • 00:08:31.394 --> 00:08:33.095
  • They give a heat flash warning
  • 00:08:33.095 --> 00:08:35.398
  • And tell you stay inside.
  • 00:08:35.398 --> 00:08:37.633
  • Record-breaking heat today.
  • 00:08:37.633 --> 00:08:40.069
  • Some of y'all thought to yourself,
  • 00:08:40.069 --> 00:08:41.070
  • Well its going to be hot today.
  • 00:08:41.070 --> 00:08:44.206
  • Its going to be hot.
  • 00:08:44.206 --> 00:08:46.175
  • Make sure i wear the right clothes.
  • 00:08:46.175 --> 00:08:48.110
  • Its going to be hot.
  • 00:08:48.110 --> 00:08:49.912
  • We are more concern about air conditioning
  • 00:08:49.912 --> 00:08:51.280
  • And the right clothes than we are all about our soul.
  • 00:08:51.280 --> 00:08:54.116
  • Hear me this florida heat can't compare to hell.
  • 00:08:54.116 --> 00:09:00.356
  • And some of us
  • 00:09:00.690 --> 00:09:01.924
  • Are more afraid to go outside than we are to sin outside.
  • 00:09:01.924 --> 00:09:04.393
  • And some of y'all online.
  • 00:09:04.393 --> 00:09:05.428
  • I'm outside.
  • 00:09:05.428 --> 00:09:06.329
  • No, you need to stay your butt inside,
  • 00:09:06.329 --> 00:09:07.997
  • And you need to get in your word.
  • 00:09:07.997 --> 00:09:09.465
  • And you need to sit down and apply scripture to your life
  • 00:09:09.465 --> 00:09:12.401
  • So that jesus can change you
  • 00:09:12.401 --> 00:09:14.270
  • And transform you and renew your mind.
  • 00:09:14.270 --> 00:09:17.139
  • And that, old you passes away and it stays dead and buried,
  • 00:09:17.139 --> 00:09:21.043
  • And the christ on the inside of you can be resurrected to
  • 00:09:21.043 --> 00:09:23.980
  • New life.
  • 00:09:23.980 --> 00:09:29.018
  • Look at what repentance does.
  • 00:09:29.652 --> 00:09:31.287
  • Point number two.
  • 00:09:31.287 --> 00:09:33.823
  • Repentance
  • 00:09:33.823 --> 00:09:35.224
  • Doesn't just remove guilt.
  • 00:09:35.224 --> 00:09:37.827
  • It makes room for grace.
  • 00:09:37.827 --> 00:09:44.066
  • This is what scripture says in matthew chapter
  • 00:09:45.034 --> 00:09:46.669
  • Five verse eight.
  • 00:09:46.669 --> 00:09:47.837
  • Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see god.
  • 00:09:47.837 --> 00:09:53.676
  • So hear me.
  • 00:09:54.010 --> 00:09:55.611
  • Grace runs best
  • 00:09:55.611 --> 00:09:57.980
  • Where guilt used to live.
  • 00:09:57.980 --> 00:10:02.585
  • God doesn't just forgive sin.
  • 00:10:03.219 --> 00:10:05.187
  • He evicts shame
  • 00:10:05.187 --> 00:10:06.155
  • When you repent.
  • 00:10:06.155 --> 00:10:09.859
  • Did you hear what i said?
  • 00:10:10.426 --> 00:10:13.162
  • For there is no condemnation.
  • 00:10:13.162 --> 00:10:16.599
  • There is no guilt.
  • 00:10:16.599 --> 00:10:18.501
  • There is no shame for those who love the lord.
  • 00:10:18.501 --> 00:10:23.239
  • And i wonder, am i talking to anybody
  • 00:10:23.239 --> 00:10:25.541
  • That's in love with jesus?
  • 00:10:25.541 --> 00:10:27.543
  • I wonder, am i talking to anybody that loves the lord?
  • 00:10:27.543 --> 00:10:30.880
  • When you love the lord, he says, i'll cover your mind.
  • 00:10:30.880 --> 00:10:33.916
  • He says, i'll cover your future.
  • 00:10:33.916 --> 00:10:35.518
  • I'll erase your past.
  • 00:10:35.518 --> 00:10:37.119
  • I'll put you on the path of righteousness.
  • 00:10:37.119 --> 00:10:39.288
  • Not for your name's sake, but for my name's
  • 00:10:39.288 --> 00:10:42.158
  • Sake, saith the lord.
  • 00:10:42.158 --> 00:10:45.027
  • So if you want grace to grow,
  • 00:10:45.661 --> 00:10:48.030
  • Start pulling up the roots of pride in your life.
  • 00:10:48.030 --> 00:10:51.600
  • So start pulling up the roots of,
  • 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:53.469
  • Of your ego and your selfish ambition.
  • 00:10:53.469 --> 00:10:56.238
  • You know how you know when you operate in pride,
  • 00:10:56.238 --> 00:10:58.374
  • When you can't turn around and tell the lord
  • 00:10:58.374 --> 00:10:59.975
  • Thank you for the grace that he gave you.
  • 00:10:59.975 --> 00:11:01.577
  • You want to know how you know you operate in the pride
  • 00:11:01.577 --> 00:11:03.713
  • When you can't lift your hands?
  • 00:11:03.713 --> 00:11:04.847
  • When he saved your soul and he reset your destiny
  • 00:11:04.847 --> 00:11:07.583
  • And he pulled you out of sin.
  • 00:11:07.583 --> 00:11:09.518
  • You want to know how you operate in a pride
  • 00:11:09.518 --> 00:11:11.487
  • When you remain silent in the presence of great power
  • 00:11:11.487 --> 00:11:14.356
  • Like jesus christ.
  • 00:11:14.356 --> 00:11:15.591
  • But you want to know when you're operating in humility.
  • 00:11:15.591 --> 00:11:18.027
  • And the work of jesus christ is purifying your heart
  • 00:11:18.027 --> 00:11:20.696
  • When it doesn't even take a preacher
  • 00:11:20.696 --> 00:11:22.398
  • To remind you of the grace of jesus christ.
  • 00:11:22.398 --> 00:11:26.068
  • You think about what he's saved you from
  • 00:11:26.068 --> 00:11:28.337
  • And the hell that he redeemed you from,
  • 00:11:28.337 --> 00:11:30.740
  • And it brings you to the place where you know,
  • 00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:32.842
  • If it had not been
  • 00:11:32.842 --> 00:11:34.043
  • For the lord on your side, where in the world would you be?
  • 00:11:34.043 --> 00:11:39.148
  • I can't speak for you, but i can speak for me.
  • 00:11:40.082 --> 00:11:42.051
  • I know where i would have been.
  • 00:11:42.051 --> 00:11:49.191
  • I know where i would have been
  • 00:11:49.792 --> 00:11:51.861
  • 18 years old, dead
  • 00:11:51.861 --> 00:11:54.930
  • In a grave
  • 00:11:54.930 --> 00:11:56.732
  • In hell.
  • 00:11:56.732 --> 00:11:58.467
  • I know where i would have been.
  • 00:11:58.467 --> 00:12:00.970
  • No hope, no future, no destiny.
  • 00:12:00.970 --> 00:12:04.140
  • But jesus cut me off.
  • 00:12:04.140 --> 00:12:12.648
  • And so some they hear me and say.
  • 00:12:13.415 --> 00:12:14.917
  • Why in the world does he preach so hard?
  • 00:12:14.917 --> 00:12:16.552
  • Why don't you shout and scream so loud?
  • 00:12:16.552 --> 00:12:18.854
  • Why on the way you don't take all that.
  • 00:12:18.854 --> 00:12:20.222
  • You don't even know the half of what he has saved me from.
  • 00:12:20.222 --> 00:12:24.827
  • You don't know who's bed he pulled me out of.
  • 00:12:24.827 --> 00:12:27.963
  • You don't know what street he redeemed me from.
  • 00:12:27.963 --> 00:12:30.699
  • You don't know what bullet he.
  • 00:12:30.699 --> 00:12:32.601
  • He pushed right past my head.
  • 00:12:32.601 --> 00:12:34.703
  • But when i think of the goodness of jesus and all that
  • 00:12:34.703 --> 00:12:38.507
  • He's done for me, my soul cries out.
  • 00:12:38.507 --> 00:12:42.545
  • Hallelujah!
  • 00:12:42.878 --> 00:12:43.813
  • Thank god for saving me.
  • 00:12:43.813 --> 00:12:45.881
  • I wish i had about 400 people that would testify of his grace
  • 00:12:45.881 --> 00:12:50.653
  • And his mercy.
  • 00:12:50.653 --> 00:12:56.358
  • You can't remember the sin
  • 00:12:56.926 --> 00:12:59.094
  • He blotted clean on your behalf.
  • 00:12:59.094 --> 00:13:05.868
  • This is what repentance does.
  • 00:13:06.502 --> 00:13:09.605
  • Repentance turns your prison
  • 00:13:10.206 --> 00:13:12.474
  • Into a sanctuary.
  • 00:13:12.474 --> 00:13:15.711
  • It reminds the enemy
  • 00:13:15.711 --> 00:13:17.479
  • That his best attempt still did not succeed.
  • 00:13:17.479 --> 00:13:21.016
  • It reminds the enemy every chain and every shackle.
  • 00:13:21.016 --> 00:13:24.286
  • He placed on you.
  • 00:13:24.286 --> 00:13:25.654
  • The power of god broke off of you.
  • 00:13:25.654 --> 00:13:28.057
  • It reminded him that every suicide attempt
  • 00:13:28.057 --> 00:13:31.427
  • That he thought he was going to take you out with
  • 00:13:31.427 --> 00:13:33.562
  • Did not prevail over your life.
  • 00:13:33.562 --> 00:13:39.501
  • Some of you came into this moment
  • 00:13:40.236 --> 00:13:41.971
  • On the verge of quitting today.
  • 00:13:41.971 --> 00:13:43.639
  • And jesus said,
  • 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:44.473
  • When you come
  • 00:13:44.473 --> 00:13:45.674
  • To the end of your road, that's when my supernatural power
  • 00:13:45.674 --> 00:13:47.977
  • Stepped in.
  • 00:13:47.977 --> 00:13:49.044
  • All you gotta do is turn back to me and i'll save.
  • 00:13:49.044 --> 00:13:52.915
  • I'll redeem. i'll deliver.
  • 00:13:52.915 --> 00:13:58.020
  • So repentance number three
  • 00:13:58.587 --> 00:14:00.422
  • Is the rhythm that keeps revival alive.
  • 00:14:00.422 --> 00:14:04.526
  • It's the rhythm that keeps revival alive.
  • 00:14:05.361 --> 00:14:08.330
  • Revival doesn't start with hype.
  • 00:14:08.330 --> 00:14:11.467
  • Revival starts with humility.
  • 00:14:11.467 --> 00:14:14.770
  • People who aren't afraid.
  • 00:14:14.770 --> 00:14:17.940
  • To get down on their knees and pray.
  • 00:14:17.940 --> 00:14:20.976
  • Scripture says if my people
  • 00:14:21.577 --> 00:14:24.179
  • Who are called by my name
  • 00:14:24.179 --> 00:14:27.216
  • Will humble themselves
  • 00:14:27.216 --> 00:14:29.451
  • And seek my face, then they shall hear from heaven.
  • 00:14:29.451 --> 00:14:33.689
  • We can't hear from god because we're too prideful
  • 00:14:34.657 --> 00:14:37.326
  • Standing in our own power and might.
  • 00:14:37.326 --> 00:14:40.829
  • We can't hear from god because we're too
  • 00:14:40.829 --> 00:14:42.831
  • Worried and concerned about who's looking at us.
  • 00:14:42.831 --> 00:14:44.867
  • If we bowed when we kneel.
  • 00:14:44.867 --> 00:14:47.303
  • We can't hear from god because we think
  • 00:14:47.303 --> 00:14:49.138
  • We are god.
  • 00:14:49.138 --> 00:14:53.842
  • How do i know?
  • 00:14:54.176 --> 00:14:57.479
  • Because when i talk to you,
  • 00:14:57.479 --> 00:15:00.282
  • You think the place that you are.
  • 00:15:00.282 --> 00:15:02.685
  • You position yourself there.
  • 00:15:02.685 --> 00:15:08.424
  • It was only by the grace of jesus christ.
  • 00:15:09.325 --> 00:15:12.795
  • It's only by the mercy of jesus christ.
  • 00:15:13.662 --> 00:15:16.899
  • It's only by the blood of jesus christ.
  • 00:15:16.899 --> 00:15:20.002
  • It's only by the love of jesus
  • 00:15:20.602 --> 00:15:22.204
  • Christ.
  • 00:15:22.204 --> 00:15:25.207
  • It was love
  • 00:15:25.207 --> 00:15:27.076
  • That lifted you.
  • 00:15:27.076 --> 00:15:30.546
  • Not your good
  • 00:15:30.913 --> 00:15:32.081
  • Deeds, not your good works, not your great decisions.
  • 00:15:32.081 --> 00:15:34.950
  • Not who you related to, not your family lineage.
  • 00:15:34.950 --> 00:15:37.853
  • It was the love that lifted you.
  • 00:15:37.853 --> 00:15:44.360
  • It was love
  • 00:15:44.693 --> 00:15:47.029
  • That gave us the gift of repentance.
  • 00:15:47.029 --> 00:15:49.798
  • And repentance does not mean perfection.
  • 00:15:49.798 --> 00:15:53.102
  • Repentance means that you're making a conscious decision
  • 00:15:54.236 --> 00:15:58.073
  • To be intentional
  • 00:15:58.073 --> 00:15:59.308
  • With the way you live your life, and turn from your wicked ways
  • 00:15:59.308 --> 00:16:02.711
  • Back in the direction of jesus christ.
  • 00:16:02.711 --> 00:16:08.117
  • So repentance is the rhythm
  • 00:16:08.717 --> 00:16:10.886
  • That keeps revival alive.
  • 00:16:10.886 --> 00:16:14.957
  • Number four.
  • 00:16:15.290 --> 00:16:19.661
  • Times of refreshing
  • 00:16:20.129 --> 00:16:22.831
  • Comes from his presence.
  • 00:16:22.831 --> 00:16:25.567
  • And repentance is the way in.
  • 00:16:25.567 --> 00:16:30.272
  • Simply put, you don't earn his presence.
  • 00:16:31.106 --> 00:16:34.043
  • You return to it.
  • 00:16:34.043 --> 00:16:37.446
  • Some of you, you're like, well, i don't know
  • 00:16:38.347 --> 00:16:40.015
  • What his presence feels like.
  • 00:16:40.015 --> 00:16:41.250
  • I've never been in his presence.
  • 00:16:41.250 --> 00:16:44.319
  • And the reality is, it's even if you don't remember,
  • 00:16:44.319 --> 00:16:47.923
  • You've been there.
  • 00:16:47.923 --> 00:16:51.560
  • Because scripture says the old testament,
  • 00:16:52.394 --> 00:16:55.631
  • I knew you before i placed you in your mother's womb.
  • 00:16:55.631 --> 00:17:00.135
  • That word, new in hebrew, means he had an
  • 00:17:01.003 --> 00:17:03.639
  • Intimate relationship with you, which means you dwell with him.
  • 00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:07.509
  • You dwell with him before he seated you
  • 00:17:07.509 --> 00:17:10.412
  • Into your mother's womb.
  • 00:17:10.412 --> 00:17:11.513
  • So when you repent, it is not you earning your way
  • 00:17:11.513 --> 00:17:15.050
  • Into the presence of god is you returning back to his presence.
  • 00:17:15.050 --> 00:17:25.360
  • And so the refreshing that we all longed for,
  • 00:17:26.295 --> 00:17:29.498
  • It isn't delayed.
  • 00:17:29.498 --> 00:17:30.699
  • It's just waiting on us to surrender.
  • 00:17:30.699 --> 00:17:36.772
  • Repentance.
  • 00:17:37.106 --> 00:17:38.307
  • It does not earn the presence, but it removes what blocks it.
  • 00:17:38.307 --> 00:17:43.178
  • The truth of the matter is the river
  • 00:17:43.946 --> 00:17:47.950
  • Of the presence of god.
  • 00:17:48.450 --> 00:17:50.552
  • It never stops flowing,
  • 00:17:50.552 --> 00:17:53.455
  • But unrepentant blocks it from us.
  • 00:17:53.455 --> 00:17:56.558
  • Unrepentant is the dam that blocks
  • 00:17:57.292 --> 00:17:59.862
  • The flow of the spirit of god in our lives.
  • 00:17:59.862 --> 00:18:06.468
  • The door to his presence
  • 00:18:06.969 --> 00:18:08.704
  • Is not through performance.
  • 00:18:08.704 --> 00:18:12.307
  • It's not through how many sundays you came to church.
  • 00:18:12.307 --> 00:18:15.544
  • No, no.
  • 00:18:15.811 --> 00:18:16.812
  • The door to his presence is through repentance.
  • 00:18:16.812 --> 00:18:20.449
  • It says in acts chapter three, verses 17 through 21,
  • 00:18:20.449 --> 00:18:24.119
  • When you repent, then comes times of refreshing.
  • 00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:33.829
  • This greek word must receive
  • 00:18:34.429 --> 00:18:36.365
  • In this passage.
  • 00:18:36.365 --> 00:18:39.935
  • Is the word dei,
  • 00:18:40.335 --> 00:18:44.706
  • As in, it is necessary
  • 00:18:45.174 --> 00:18:48.076
  • For heaven to receive.
  • 00:18:48.076 --> 00:18:53.282
  • As in,
  • 00:18:53.482 --> 00:18:55.083
  • He will stay until the time of restoration.
  • 00:18:55.083 --> 00:19:01.223
  • In other words,
  • 00:19:01.590 --> 00:19:03.625
  • Repentance is not just personal.
  • 00:19:03.625 --> 00:19:07.663
  • Repentance is also prophetic.
  • 00:19:08.297 --> 00:19:12.668
  • What do i mean by that?
  • 00:19:13.168 --> 00:19:15.504
  • Every time someone repents,
  • 00:19:15.504 --> 00:19:18.040
  • They don't just change their life,
  • 00:19:18.040 --> 00:19:20.108
  • They move the needle to redemptive history in time.
  • 00:19:20.108 --> 00:19:26.081
  • And so repentance isn't just about you cleaning your heart.
  • 00:19:27.216 --> 00:19:30.686
  • Repentance is about you
  • 00:19:30.686 --> 00:19:32.020
  • Preparing the earth for christ's return.
  • 00:19:32.020 --> 00:19:37.926
  • So we think that jesus is coming
  • 00:19:38.560 --> 00:19:40.662
  • Back when the world gets worse.
  • 00:19:40.662 --> 00:19:42.664
  • That's not what scripture says.
  • 00:19:42.664 --> 00:19:44.366
  • Peter says jesus is coming back when the church gets right.
  • 00:19:44.366 --> 00:19:50.906
  • This means that the church isn't just waiting on heaven.
  • 00:19:51.974 --> 00:19:55.777
  • Heaven is waiting on the church.
  • 00:19:55.777 --> 00:19:57.913
  • You don't believe me?
  • 00:19:57.913 --> 00:19:59.114
  • Second peter chapter three, verse nine through 12 says,
  • 00:19:59.114 --> 00:20:02.017
  • The lord is not slow to fulfill his promise
  • 00:20:02.017 --> 00:20:05.120
  • As some count slowness, but is patient toward you,
  • 00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:08.857
  • Not wishing that any should perish,
  • 00:20:08.857 --> 00:20:11.093
  • But that all should reach repentance.
  • 00:20:11.093 --> 00:20:17.666
  • But the day of the lord will come like a thief,
  • 00:20:18.567 --> 00:20:21.436
  • Waiting for and hastening the coming
  • 00:20:21.436 --> 00:20:25.140
  • Of the day of god, which means every single person
  • 00:20:25.140 --> 00:20:28.877
  • That repents and turns away from their wicked ways
  • 00:20:28.877 --> 00:20:31.980
  • Moves the needle of the return of our savior
  • 00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:35.284
  • A little bit closer, moves the needle of jesus christ.
  • 00:20:35.284 --> 00:20:38.987
  • Coming back a little bit closer.
  • 00:20:38.987 --> 00:20:42.724
  • So the reality is, is god is not delaying.
  • 00:20:42.724 --> 00:20:45.027
  • He's waiting.
  • 00:20:45.027 --> 00:20:48.063
  • And human repentance is directly
  • 00:20:48.063 --> 00:20:49.898
  • Tied to the timing of the lord's return.
  • 00:20:49.898 --> 00:20:55.203
  • Matthew chapter 24, verse 14 says,
  • 00:20:55.937 --> 00:20:58.307
  • And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed
  • 00:20:58.307 --> 00:21:02.210
  • Throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations.
  • 00:21:02.210 --> 00:21:07.215
  • And then the end will come.
  • 00:21:07.215 --> 00:21:12.187
  • So when you repent, it's not just for you and yours.
  • 00:21:13.255 --> 00:21:16.925
  • When you repent, it's for all of humanity.
  • 00:21:16.925 --> 00:21:19.494
  • When you turn away from your wicked
  • 00:21:19.494 --> 00:21:21.129
  • Ways, you turn away from your sin.
  • 00:21:21.129 --> 00:21:23.231
  • You turn away from your old habits and old ways.
  • 00:21:23.231 --> 00:21:26.168
  • It is moving the needle of the return of our savior a little
  • 00:21:26.168 --> 00:21:30.072
  • Bit closer.
  • 00:21:30.072 --> 00:21:35.010
  • So the reality is,
  • 00:21:35.444 --> 00:21:37.846
  • Is you didn't lose god.
  • 00:21:37.846 --> 00:21:40.148
  • You left him.
  • 00:21:40.148 --> 00:21:43.185
  • And repentance
  • 00:21:43.185 --> 00:21:44.319
  • Is to route back home.
  • 00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:47.356
  • You're not stuck.
  • 00:21:47.789 --> 00:21:50.258
  • You're stubborn.
  • 00:21:50.258 --> 00:21:53.261
  • Repentance doesn't remove options.
  • 00:21:53.995 --> 00:21:56.431
  • It reopens obedience.
  • 00:21:56.431 --> 00:21:59.935
  • I need you to hear me when i tell you this.
  • 00:21:59.935 --> 00:22:02.738
  • Your tears don't move god.
  • 00:22:02.738 --> 00:22:06.808
  • You're turning.
  • 00:22:07.175 --> 00:22:08.076
  • Does.
  • 00:22:08.076 --> 00:22:10.412
  • Did you catch that?
  • 00:22:10.412 --> 00:22:12.881
  • Your tears don't move.
  • 00:22:12.881 --> 00:22:14.449
  • God, your turning does.
  • 00:22:14.449 --> 00:22:15.884
  • When you turn away
  • 00:22:15.884 --> 00:22:17.719
  • From your sin, away from your mistakes, away
  • 00:22:17.719 --> 00:22:21.022
  • From your old relationships, away from your old habits.
  • 00:22:21.022 --> 00:22:23.825
  • Then you move the heart of god on your behalf.
  • 00:22:23.825 --> 00:22:30.732
  • So what is repentance?
  • 00:22:31.199 --> 00:22:34.603
  • Repentance is the death of pride
  • 00:22:34.603 --> 00:22:37.506
  • And the birthplace of purpose.
  • 00:22:37.506 --> 00:22:40.876
  • Some of you have been asking god.
  • 00:22:40.876 --> 00:22:44.312
  • God, show me.
  • 00:22:44.679 --> 00:22:47.516
  • Show me what you want for me.
  • 00:22:47.516 --> 00:22:48.784
  • Show me what you desire for me. show me what you need me to do.
  • 00:22:48.784 --> 00:22:52.187
  • Give me a sign.
  • 00:22:52.554 --> 00:22:55.757
  • And today is your sign.
  • 00:22:55.757 --> 00:22:58.827
  • Repent.
  • 00:22:58.827 --> 00:23:00.595
  • For the kingdom of god
  • 00:23:00.595 --> 00:23:02.731
  • Is at hand.
  • 00:23:02.731 --> 00:23:04.866
  • Repentance is the language of lovers
  • 00:23:04.866 --> 00:23:08.303
  • Who have cheated on grace but can't live without it.
  • 00:23:08.303 --> 00:23:20.882
  • You don't need another church message.
  • 00:23:21.716 --> 00:23:23.118
  • You don't need another church service.
  • 00:23:23.118 --> 00:23:24.386
  • You don't need another sermon online.
  • 00:23:24.386 --> 00:23:25.987
  • You need this one right here.
  • 00:23:25.987 --> 00:23:27.355
  • Repent for the kingdom of god is at hand.
  • 00:23:27.355 --> 00:23:32.694
  • Here's why it's important.
  • 00:23:32.694 --> 00:23:34.963
  • Because you can't be healed from what you're still
  • 00:23:34.963 --> 00:23:37.732
  • Hiding.
  • 00:23:37.732 --> 00:23:43.071
  • Repentance is when you stop covering
  • 00:23:43.872 --> 00:23:46.274
  • What christ already died to cleanse.
  • 00:23:46.274 --> 00:23:52.747
  • And here's the hard truth.
  • 00:23:53.315 --> 00:23:56.451
  • God will wait on you,
  • 00:23:56.451 --> 00:23:59.521
  • But heaven won't move through
  • 00:23:59.521 --> 00:24:00.689
  • You until your repentance does.
  • 00:24:00.689 --> 00:24:04.125
  • God will wait on you, but your purpose will be at a
  • 00:24:05.193 --> 00:24:07.128
  • Standstill until you repent.
  • 00:24:07.128 --> 00:24:11.032
  • And today is your day to
  • 00:24:11.533 --> 00:24:13.702
  • Realign your heart with the will and the purpose of god.
  • 00:24:13.702 --> 00:24:18.273
  • I do hope that you've been blessed by the word of god.
  • 00:24:19.374 --> 00:24:22.210
  • I know sometimes when we hear the word of god, it cuts us
  • 00:24:22.210 --> 00:24:25.647
  • And it convicts us.
  • 00:24:25.647 --> 00:24:27.115
  • And that conviction that you may be feeling right
  • 00:24:27.115 --> 00:24:29.217
  • Now, it's an indication that the father loves you.
  • 00:24:29.217 --> 00:24:32.420
  • I know every time i read the word of god,
  • 00:24:32.420 --> 00:24:33.989
  • I'm convicted about something in my own life,
  • 00:24:33.989 --> 00:24:36.157
  • Something in my own heart,
  • 00:24:36.157 --> 00:24:37.526
  • Something in my own journey with jesus christ.
  • 00:24:37.526 --> 00:24:39.628
  • And every time i leave that moment,
  • 00:24:39.628 --> 00:24:41.796
  • I leave better than the way i enter it.
  • 00:24:41.796 --> 00:24:44.232
  • My prayer
  • 00:24:44.232 --> 00:24:45.133
  • Is that you would leave this broadcast
  • 00:24:45.133 --> 00:24:46.301
  • Today, our time together,
  • 00:24:46.301 --> 00:24:47.836
  • Better than how you came into this moment.
  • 00:24:47.836 --> 00:24:50.272
  • I'm going to pray for you.
  • 00:24:50.272 --> 00:24:51.740
  • I want to pray for those that need to repent.
  • 00:24:51.740 --> 00:24:54.142
  • Those that need to reestablish a firm and strong connection
  • 00:24:54.142 --> 00:24:57.979
  • With jesus christ.
  • 00:24:57.979 --> 00:24:59.347
  • And i want you to repeat this prayer to me, lord jesus,
  • 00:24:59.347 --> 00:25:02.984
  • I've turned away from my sin.
  • 00:25:02.984 --> 00:25:05.420
  • I repent.
  • 00:25:05.420 --> 00:25:06.821
  • I ask you to take my sin and cast it as far as
  • 00:25:06.821 --> 00:25:10.125
  • The east is from the west right now, in jesus name.
  • 00:25:10.125 --> 00:25:13.695
  • I confess that you are my lord and my master and my savior.
  • 00:25:13.695 --> 00:25:18.800
  • I believe that with the fullness of my heart,
  • 00:25:18.800 --> 00:25:21.236
  • So i turn away for my selfish desires, my selfish ambition,
  • 00:25:21.236 --> 00:25:26.374
  • My will and my wants, and i turn toward you.
  • 00:25:26.374 --> 00:25:29.611
  • In jesus name i pray.
  • 00:25:30.111 --> 00:25:31.880
  • Amen. family.

  • 00:25:54.803 --> 00:25:56.304
