  • 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:17.233
  • Hey. family is
  • 00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:18.535
  • Pastor tim timberlake, and i'm so honored
  • 00:00:18.535 --> 00:00:21.438
  • That you would take our time today
  • 00:00:21.438 --> 00:00:24.040
  • To walk through the word of god with us.
  • 00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:26.076
  • I believe that we're stronger because of god's word.
  • 00:00:26.076 --> 00:00:28.778
  • And i believe that our faith is continually built.
  • 00:00:28.778 --> 00:00:31.381
  • When we hear and hear the word of god.
  • 00:00:31.381 --> 00:00:34.384
  • What i want you to do right now,
  • 00:00:34.384 --> 00:00:35.485
  • I want you to call your friends.
  • 00:00:35.485 --> 00:00:36.619
  • Let them know we're on right now.
  • 00:00:36.619 --> 00:00:38.621
  • That's a word that god has for you,
  • 00:00:38.621 --> 00:00:40.423
  • And i believe a word god has for them as well.
  • 00:00:40.423 --> 00:00:43.059
  • Let's go into the message
  • 00:00:43.059 --> 00:00:44.027
  • That has already begun, entitled from rituals
  • 00:00:44.027 --> 00:00:47.063
  • To revival.
  • 00:00:47.063 --> 00:00:50.100
  • Maybe god doesn't want to restore
  • 00:00:50.867 --> 00:00:52.402
  • Something in your life.
  • 00:00:52.402 --> 00:00:55.572
  • Maybe god doesn't want to redeem something in your life.
  • 00:00:56.673 --> 00:00:59.909
  • Maybe he wants it to die.
  • 00:01:00.477 --> 00:01:04.781
  • So that he can revive it.
  • 00:01:05.348 --> 00:01:08.451
  • See, revival is only a revival
  • 00:01:09.085 --> 00:01:11.454
  • On the heels of something first dying.
  • 00:01:11.454 --> 00:01:14.858
  • And we pray for revival.
  • 00:01:14.858 --> 00:01:16.759
  • But we run from death.
  • 00:01:16.759 --> 00:01:19.329
  • We run from the death of our flesh.
  • 00:01:19.329 --> 00:01:22.132
  • We run from the death of our comfort.
  • 00:01:22.132 --> 00:01:24.501
  • We run from the death of our convenience.
  • 00:01:24.501 --> 00:01:26.870
  • If something doesn't sit right with our flesh
  • 00:01:26.870 --> 00:01:30.440
  • In a servant service, we find another church.
  • 00:01:30.440 --> 00:01:33.443
  • Because we treat churches like we do restaurants.
  • 00:01:33.443 --> 00:01:37.213
  • I don't like what's on the menu.
  • 00:01:37.847 --> 00:01:38.982
  • Today i'm going to another restaurant.
  • 00:01:38.982 --> 00:01:40.416
  • I don't like what they serve in the day.
  • 00:01:40.416 --> 00:01:41.618
  • I'm good and we treat church like it's a buffet.
  • 00:01:41.618 --> 00:01:46.156
  • And we take a little bit of this
  • 00:01:46.156 --> 00:01:47.690
  • And we take a little bit of that.
  • 00:01:47.690 --> 00:01:48.892
  • And when they don't serve what we want,
  • 00:01:48.892 --> 00:01:50.627
  • We no longer go because god is calling me
  • 00:01:50.627 --> 00:01:53.630
  • Into a different season. got it? calling.
  • 00:01:53.630 --> 00:01:55.598
  • You know where
  • 00:01:55.598 --> 00:01:56.699
  • Your flesh is, told you that you're uncomfortable,
  • 00:01:56.699 --> 00:01:58.668
  • And maybe god wants your flesh to die
  • 00:01:58.668 --> 00:02:01.070
  • So he can revive the spirit of god on the inside of you,
  • 00:02:01.070 --> 00:02:04.707
  • And you actually become who he set out for you to become
  • 00:02:04.707 --> 00:02:08.211
  • When he was nailed to the cross for your sins, their sorrows,
  • 00:02:08.211 --> 00:02:11.548
  • And your sickness.
  • 00:02:11.548 --> 00:02:12.782
  • We gotta get over this stuff.
  • 00:02:12.782 --> 00:02:14.651
  • When we feed our flesh and we starve our faith,
  • 00:02:14.651 --> 00:02:18.087
  • We have to starve our flesh and feed our faith
  • 00:02:18.087 --> 00:02:21.291
  • So that the spirit of god can rise up on the inside of us
  • 00:02:21.291 --> 00:02:25.261
  • And speak to this flesh and tell this flesh.
  • 00:02:25.261 --> 00:02:27.931
  • It does not rule us.
  • 00:02:27.931 --> 00:02:31.301
  • But we've gotten so accustomed
  • 00:02:31.901 --> 00:02:35.104
  • To comfortable christianity.
  • 00:02:35.104 --> 00:02:38.541
  • And this westernized religion
  • 00:02:38.541 --> 00:02:41.611
  • That we've been made to believe that church is about us.
  • 00:02:41.611 --> 00:02:48.518
  • And when church goes a little long
  • 00:02:49.252 --> 00:02:52.855
  • And no longer suits our schedule.
  • 00:02:52.855 --> 00:02:57.827
  • Because jesus didn't move
  • 00:02:58.394 --> 00:03:00.797
  • Within the time i allotted him to.
  • 00:03:00.797 --> 00:03:05.768
  • So we grab our things.
  • 00:03:06.269 --> 00:03:09.772
  • And we leave when our alarm clocks
  • 00:03:09.772 --> 00:03:11.674
  • Go off.
  • 00:03:11.674 --> 00:03:14.811
  • Because we've lost the
  • 00:03:14.811 --> 00:03:16.012
  • Sacredness of serving the only one that can save us,
  • 00:03:16.012 --> 00:03:19.515
  • And we put more emphasis on our schedule and brunch
  • 00:03:20.516 --> 00:03:24.220
  • Because they'll be serving mimosas.
  • 00:03:24.954 --> 00:03:31.160
  • We gotta make brunch from mimosas
  • 00:03:31.828 --> 00:03:33.496
  • Because they cut that off at 2:00.
  • 00:03:33.496 --> 00:03:35.431
  • We got to.
  • 00:03:35.431 --> 00:03:36.633
  • Pastor, you need to hurry up.
  • 00:03:36.633 --> 00:03:47.143
  • And so we water down what we believe.
  • 00:03:47.944 --> 00:03:52.482
  • Because it doesn't
  • 00:03:52.915 --> 00:03:54.250
  • Make us comfortable.
  • 00:03:54.250 --> 00:03:57.086
  • And it actually makes us so uncomfortable that it convicts
  • 00:03:57.086 --> 00:04:01.057
  • Us.
  • 00:04:01.057 --> 00:04:02.558
  • And conviction never feels good.
  • 00:04:03.293 --> 00:04:06.429
  • But conviction
  • 00:04:06.763 --> 00:04:08.931
  • Is the only thing that leads us to transformation.
  • 00:04:08.931 --> 00:04:13.603
  • The taking notes
  • 00:04:14.003 --> 00:04:14.737
  • I want you to write this down.
  • 00:04:14.737 --> 00:04:18.007
  • Lack always, reveals lordship.
  • 00:04:18.641 --> 00:04:24.013
  • What do i mean by that?
  • 00:04:24.547 --> 00:04:27.050
  • You don't know who your lord is
  • 00:04:27.050 --> 00:04:30.353
  • Until your luxuries become your liabilities.
  • 00:04:30.353 --> 00:04:35.058
  • Who do you run to first when you hit
  • 00:04:35.825 --> 00:04:38.428
  • With hardship?
  • 00:04:38.428 --> 00:04:41.030
  • Who do you call first
  • 00:04:41.030 --> 00:04:43.066
  • When you hit with a difficult situation, a season? who?
  • 00:04:43.066 --> 00:04:46.069
  • Who do you turn to first when things don't work out
  • 00:04:46.069 --> 00:04:49.038
  • The way you plan for them to work out?
  • 00:04:49.038 --> 00:04:51.174
  • Who do you run to first
  • 00:04:51.174 --> 00:04:52.742
  • When things are not going the way you thought they should?
  • 00:04:52.742 --> 00:04:55.845
  • Who do you turn to first?
  • 00:04:55.845 --> 00:04:58.014
  • Because lack always reveals lordship.
  • 00:04:58.014 --> 00:05:02.652
  • One of the things that
  • 00:05:03.119 --> 00:05:04.053
  • I found out is you don't truly trust jesus
  • 00:05:04.053 --> 00:05:07.357
  • Until he's your only option.
  • 00:05:07.957 --> 00:05:12.362
  • And the hard reality
  • 00:05:12.829 --> 00:05:13.863
  • Is, if some of you got other options.
  • 00:05:13.863 --> 00:05:17.266
  • Until you find out you don't.
  • 00:05:17.900 --> 00:05:20.970
  • Just do person inventory real quick.
  • 00:05:21.771 --> 00:05:25.041
  • Last time you were faced with the crisis,
  • 00:05:25.041 --> 00:05:28.144
  • Who did you turn to first?
  • 00:05:28.144 --> 00:05:32.048
  • See, we settle
  • 00:05:32.382 --> 00:05:34.517
  • For the quick opinion of men and women
  • 00:05:34.517 --> 00:05:38.354
  • Instead of the transformative power of jesus christ,
  • 00:05:38.354 --> 00:05:41.791
  • Because it's easier for us to pick up the phone
  • 00:05:41.791 --> 00:05:43.960
  • And talk to someone that we know will agree with us.
  • 00:05:43.960 --> 00:05:50.767
  • Then be patient enough
  • 00:05:51.234 --> 00:05:52.435
  • To hear from the savior that can actually revive
  • 00:05:52.435 --> 00:05:56.339
  • And redeem whatever it is that we're going through.
  • 00:05:56.339 --> 00:05:59.542
  • Because in order for us to do that, that means it takes time.
  • 00:05:59.542 --> 00:06:04.013
  • And in our mind, we don't have time to wait on
  • 00:06:04.013 --> 00:06:06.682
  • Jesus.
  • 00:06:06.682 --> 00:06:09.352
  • We can just pick up the phone and call somebody
  • 00:06:09.352 --> 00:06:11.387
  • That makes us comfortable.
  • 00:06:11.387 --> 00:06:13.856
  • That's us on
  • 00:06:14.157 --> 00:06:14.824
  • The back and tells us,
  • 00:06:14.824 --> 00:06:17.894
  • You're right, they're wrong.
  • 00:06:17.894 --> 00:06:21.564
  • You shouldn't be going through what you're going through.
  • 00:06:21.564 --> 00:06:24.667
  • That should not be happening to you,
  • 00:06:24.667 --> 00:06:28.070
  • When in fact you really don't know
  • 00:06:28.070 --> 00:06:29.338
  • Because you have not heard it from god first.
  • 00:06:29.338 --> 00:06:32.375
  • You could be in the season and the situation you're in
  • 00:06:32.375 --> 00:06:34.477
  • Because you took yourself there,
  • 00:06:34.477 --> 00:06:37.713
  • But you never know it until
  • 00:06:37.713 --> 00:06:38.981
  • You allow him to be your lord
  • 00:06:38.981 --> 00:06:43.152
  • And your master.
  • 00:06:43.553 --> 00:06:47.623
  • So lack
  • 00:06:47.857 --> 00:06:50.026
  • Always reveals lordship
  • 00:06:50.026 --> 00:06:54.330
  • And something that we need to know,
  • 00:06:55.131 --> 00:06:57.800
  • And something that we need to identify
  • 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:01.571
  • Is god will never let you stay for more
  • 00:07:01.571 --> 00:07:05.508
  • Of what was never meant to sustain you.
  • 00:07:05.508 --> 00:07:09.745
  • So every relationship
  • 00:07:10.246 --> 00:07:11.647
  • That you've gotten into that god never meant to sustain you,
  • 00:07:11.647 --> 00:07:15.551
  • Will always leave you emptier.
  • 00:07:16.152 --> 00:07:18.321
  • Every idea that you have that's separate from god,
  • 00:07:19.322 --> 00:07:22.525
  • That god never meant to sustain you, will always leave
  • 00:07:22.525 --> 00:07:25.194
  • You empty.
  • 00:07:25.194 --> 00:07:26.128
  • It would always leave a void in your life.
  • 00:07:26.128 --> 00:07:27.563
  • Every everything that is void of god will always leave
  • 00:07:27.563 --> 00:07:32.635
  • You empty and unfulfilled.
  • 00:07:32.635 --> 00:07:37.940
  • When you run.
  • 00:07:38.307 --> 00:07:42.445
  • To the things
  • 00:07:42.812 --> 00:07:45.648
  • That end up running out.
  • 00:07:45.648 --> 00:07:49.385
  • It should turn you back to the one
  • 00:07:49.385 --> 00:07:52.488
  • That will run with you
  • 00:07:52.989 --> 00:07:55.925
  • When no one else will.
  • 00:07:55.925 --> 00:07:59.495
  • See, jesus is the only one
  • 00:08:00.062 --> 00:08:03.399
  • That will feel
  • 00:08:03.766 --> 00:08:05.801
  • What men and women cannot.
  • 00:08:05.801 --> 00:08:10.740
  • Jesus instructs them,
  • 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.910
  • Take these six jars,
  • 00:08:13.910 --> 00:08:17.079
  • Fill them with water.
  • 00:08:17.580 --> 00:08:20.816
  • And i will perform the miracle
  • 00:08:21.417 --> 00:08:24.687
  • That's necessary.
  • 00:08:24.687 --> 00:08:27.857
  • Point number two.
  • 00:08:27.857 --> 00:08:31.861
  • Stop asking god
  • 00:08:32.261 --> 00:08:34.864
  • To do what he already told you to obey.
  • 00:08:34.864 --> 00:08:42.939
  • Pastor, what do you mean?
  • 00:08:43.506 --> 00:08:45.808
  • Your next miracle is not waiting on god.
  • 00:08:45.808 --> 00:08:50.146
  • It is waiting on your obedience.
  • 00:08:50.780 --> 00:08:55.551
  • You like what?
  • 00:08:55.885 --> 00:08:56.385
  • Pass.
  • 00:08:56.385 --> 00:08:57.587
  • I just want to hear the voice of god i need got to tell me
  • 00:08:57.587 --> 00:08:59.722
  • What i'm supposed to do
  • 00:08:59.722 --> 00:09:00.923
  • When i'm supposed to do it, where i'm supposed to do it.
  • 00:09:00.923 --> 00:09:03.225
  • I just need to hear god's voice.
  • 00:09:03.225 --> 00:09:04.760
  • I need to hear god's voice.
  • 00:09:04.760 --> 00:09:06.395
  • And god is saying, when you sit down
  • 00:09:06.395 --> 00:09:08.631
  • And you read my word, i'll give you instructions.
  • 00:09:08.631 --> 00:09:11.133
  • I'll give you the understanding, i'll give you the knowledge,
  • 00:09:11.133 --> 00:09:13.636
  • And i'll give you the revelation.
  • 00:09:13.636 --> 00:09:14.971
  • But god, that's not your voice.
  • 00:09:14.971 --> 00:09:16.305
  • I want to hear your voice. god, i want to hear your voice.
  • 00:09:16.305 --> 00:09:18.441
  • I want to i want to feel your presence.
  • 00:09:18.441 --> 00:09:20.643
  • I want to hear your voice.
  • 00:09:20.643 --> 00:09:22.178
  • When you sit down
  • 00:09:22.178 --> 00:09:23.479
  • And you open up my word and you read my word,
  • 00:09:23.479 --> 00:09:26.415
  • You'll get the instruction that only i can give you.
  • 00:09:26.415 --> 00:09:28.851
  • But god, listen. listen, you.
  • 00:09:28.851 --> 00:09:30.052
  • Maybe you're not understanding what i'm saying to you.
  • 00:09:30.052 --> 00:09:31.921
  • I need to hear from you.
  • 00:09:31.921 --> 00:09:33.422
  • I need to hear you.
  • 00:09:33.422 --> 00:09:34.790
  • And he said, if you sit down and you open up my word,
  • 00:09:34.790 --> 00:09:38.561
  • And you read my word, you'll know what it is
  • 00:09:38.561 --> 00:09:41.364
  • That i have designed and planned for you.
  • 00:09:41.364 --> 00:09:43.599
  • And the reality is,
  • 00:09:43.599 --> 00:09:44.900
  • If some of you have been hearing the voice of god,
  • 00:09:44.900 --> 00:09:47.269
  • But you don't know his voice
  • 00:09:47.269 --> 00:09:48.738
  • Because you have not read his word.
  • 00:09:48.738 --> 00:09:53.576
  • And so you're confusing his voice with the enemy,
  • 00:09:54.577 --> 00:09:57.446
  • Because surely god would not tell you
  • 00:09:57.446 --> 00:09:59.448
  • Anything that makes you uncomfortable.
  • 00:09:59.448 --> 00:10:03.252
  • God is saying, be disciplined.
  • 00:10:03.853 --> 00:10:05.421
  • I bind the devil in jesus name.
  • 00:10:05.421 --> 00:10:07.990
  • God is saying, get out of that relationship.
  • 00:10:07.990 --> 00:10:10.359
  • He or she don't care about you.
  • 00:10:10.359 --> 00:10:11.994
  • I bind that in jesus name.
  • 00:10:11.994 --> 00:10:14.063
  • This is my spouse, god told me, but he told you nothing.
  • 00:10:14.063 --> 00:10:18.467
  • But you don't know his voice because you don't know his word.
  • 00:10:18.467 --> 00:10:24.607
  • Stop asking god to do what
  • 00:10:25.174 --> 00:10:27.309
  • He already told you to obey.
  • 00:10:27.309 --> 00:10:31.781
  • You don't need more faith.
  • 00:10:32.348 --> 00:10:35.951
  • You need more follow through.
  • 00:10:35.951 --> 00:10:39.889
  • You don't need more messages.
  • 00:10:40.523 --> 00:10:42.258
  • You can go on youtube and search a million messages
  • 00:10:42.258 --> 00:10:45.528
  • And and hit a greatest messages of your life.
  • 00:10:45.528 --> 00:10:48.330
  • You don't need more messages.
  • 00:10:48.330 --> 00:10:50.066
  • You need more follow through.
  • 00:10:50.066 --> 00:10:55.404
  • God ain't about to do nothing
  • 00:10:56.038 --> 00:10:57.740
  • In your life. he's already done it,
  • 00:10:57.740 --> 00:10:59.675
  • But your obedience takes you into it.
  • 00:10:59.675 --> 00:11:06.749
  • We're sitting here praying,
  • 00:11:07.349 --> 00:11:09.418
  • God, show me, show me, show me, show me.
  • 00:11:09.418 --> 00:11:12.321
  • God is like i showed you.
  • 00:11:12.321 --> 00:11:15.991
  • I took you to the scripture.
  • 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.862
  • I took you to my word i showed you.
  • 00:11:19.862 --> 00:11:23.599
  • That's not good enough for us.
  • 00:11:23.599 --> 00:11:26.635
  • Because we've gotten familiar
  • 00:11:26.635 --> 00:11:28.704
  • With his word.
  • 00:11:28.704 --> 00:11:31.707
  • And we think that his word
  • 00:11:31.707 --> 00:11:33.843
  • Is less than his voice.
  • 00:11:33.843 --> 00:11:37.246
  • And so we'll close the word of god
  • 00:11:38.013 --> 00:11:40.282
  • And we'll spend time trying to hear.
  • 00:11:40.282 --> 00:11:42.151
  • And god is saying, if you want to hear me, read me.
  • 00:11:42.151 --> 00:11:49.558
  • We've gotten so accustomed
  • 00:11:50.126 --> 00:11:52.428
  • In our relationship with god.
  • 00:11:52.428 --> 00:11:56.132
  • To settling for what we want
  • 00:11:56.732 --> 00:11:58.367
  • Instead of settling for what he said in
  • 00:11:58.367 --> 00:12:02.538
  • John chapter one.
  • 00:12:02.972 --> 00:12:04.240
  • In the beginning was the word,
  • 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.343
  • And the word was with god, and the word was god.
  • 00:12:07.343 --> 00:12:10.913
  • So if you want to
  • 00:12:10.913 --> 00:12:11.914
  • Hear the voice of god, open up the word of god.
  • 00:12:11.914 --> 00:12:15.484
  • Sit your butt down.
  • 00:12:15.484 --> 00:12:17.319
  • Be patient enough to read through it
  • 00:12:17.319 --> 00:12:19.255
  • So you can know the plan and the purpose he has for you.
  • 00:12:19.255 --> 00:12:32.268
  • Most people
  • 00:12:32.601 --> 00:12:34.436
  • Hear me family.
  • 00:12:34.436 --> 00:12:35.237
  • Most people miss the miracle
  • 00:12:35.237 --> 00:12:38.007
  • Because it's wrapped in ordinary obedience.
  • 00:12:38.007 --> 00:12:42.678
  • Waiting for fireworks.
  • 00:12:43.145 --> 00:12:44.413
  • We're waiting for the sea to open up.
  • 00:12:44.413 --> 00:12:45.981
  • And we're waiting and we're waiting and waiting.
  • 00:12:45.981 --> 00:12:47.783
  • And we're waiting and we're waiting and waiting
  • 00:12:47.783 --> 00:12:49.285
  • And we're waiting. we're waiting.
  • 00:12:49.285 --> 00:12:50.319
  • And god is saying, listen, i've already told you.
  • 00:12:50.319 --> 00:12:56.091
  • And you hear me, family.
  • 00:12:56.625 --> 00:12:57.860
  • You're looking at a man who just practice ordinary obedience.
  • 00:12:57.860 --> 00:13:02.865
  • I've never seen the sea open up in my life.
  • 00:13:03.732 --> 00:13:05.734
  • I've never had the big firework moments.
  • 00:13:05.734 --> 00:13:08.771
  • But i have seen god move through my ordinary obedience
  • 00:13:08.771 --> 00:13:11.974
  • When i sit down every single day and open up his word
  • 00:13:11.974 --> 00:13:15.778
  • And read his word
  • 00:13:15.778 --> 00:13:17.046
  • And apply his word, i get one step
  • 00:13:17.046 --> 00:13:19.548
  • Closer to the miracle that i have need of him.
  • 00:13:19.548 --> 00:13:21.650
  • When i sit down the next day
  • 00:13:21.650 --> 00:13:23.319
  • And i open up his word and i read his word
  • 00:13:23.319 --> 00:13:25.821
  • And i apply his word, i get one step
  • 00:13:25.821 --> 00:13:28.057
  • Closer to the miracle i have need of it.
  • 00:13:28.057 --> 00:13:29.692
  • When i sit down the next day and i open up his word
  • 00:13:29.692 --> 00:13:32.928
  • And i read his word
  • 00:13:32.928 --> 00:13:34.230
  • And i apply his word, i get one step
  • 00:13:34.230 --> 00:13:36.498
  • Closer to the miracle i have need of.
  • 00:13:36.498 --> 00:13:38.334
  • And when i sit down the next day
  • 00:13:38.334 --> 00:13:40.269
  • And i open up his word and i read his word
  • 00:13:40.269 --> 00:13:42.404
  • And i apply his word, i get one step closer to the miracle
  • 00:13:42.404 --> 00:13:45.708
  • That i have need of god moves in ordinary obedience.
  • 00:13:45.708 --> 00:13:53.916
  • But the majority of
  • 00:13:54.383 --> 00:13:56.151
  • Me miss it because we're looking
  • 00:13:56.151 --> 00:13:59.154
  • The wrong places.
  • 00:13:59.588 --> 00:14:04.326
  • But we have to
  • 00:14:04.660 --> 00:14:05.294
  • Look at the text and identify.
  • 00:14:05.294 --> 00:14:08.797
  • As water
  • 00:14:09.064 --> 00:14:10.566
  • Would have never turned to wine
  • 00:14:10.566 --> 00:14:13.869
  • If the people
  • 00:14:14.236 --> 00:14:17.072
  • Were too pompous to walk
  • 00:14:17.072 --> 00:14:18.574
  • With water.
  • 00:14:18.574 --> 00:14:22.778
  • Scripture doesn't say that jesus took
  • 00:14:23.612 --> 00:14:26.515
  • Out of these vessels wine, and he poured into the cup.
  • 00:14:26.515 --> 00:14:30.686
  • Scripture says jesus instructed them,
  • 00:14:31.420 --> 00:14:33.889
  • Get the water out of the vessels and walk with water.
  • 00:14:33.889 --> 00:14:38.060
  • Some of us aren't experiencing miracles
  • 00:14:38.928 --> 00:14:41.063
  • Because we're too ashamed to walk with the ordinary.
  • 00:14:41.063 --> 00:14:44.233
  • Some of us aren't experiencing breakthrough
  • 00:14:44.233 --> 00:14:46.168
  • Because we're too ashamed to walk with
  • 00:14:46.168 --> 00:14:47.870
  • What looks like ordinary obedience.
  • 00:14:47.870 --> 00:14:50.072
  • Some of us aren't experiencing the breakthrough
  • 00:14:50.072 --> 00:14:52.207
  • Because we can't even hold water.
  • 00:14:52.207 --> 00:14:56.312
  • We don't mind walking with what looks like it's expensive
  • 00:14:56.312 --> 00:15:00.082
  • And luxurious and costly.
  • 00:15:00.082 --> 00:15:02.451
  • But when we can't walk with wate
  • 00:15:02.451 --> 00:15:12.061
  • The groom.
  • 00:15:12.361 --> 00:15:15.197
  • And the groom's family.
  • 00:15:15.197 --> 00:15:18.167
  • They found themselves at a place
  • 00:15:18.167 --> 00:15:21.971
  • They were desperate for a miracle.
  • 00:15:22.738 --> 00:15:26.542
  • Point number three.
  • 00:15:27.009 --> 00:15:30.346
  • It's desperation.
  • 00:15:30.346 --> 00:15:32.881
  • It's the door
  • 00:15:33.248 --> 00:15:35.217
  • To divine disruption.
  • 00:15:35.217 --> 00:15:39.455
  • What that simply means
  • 00:15:39.955 --> 00:15:43.058
  • Is god will let you run
  • 00:15:43.058 --> 00:15:46.328
  • Until you run out
  • 00:15:46.328 --> 00:15:48.864
  • And run to him.
  • 00:15:48.864 --> 00:15:52.101
  • God doesn't respond to need.
  • 00:15:52.701 --> 00:15:57.373
  • God responds to dependance.
  • 00:15:57.973 --> 00:16:01.210
  • Have you ever prayed you had a need
  • 00:16:01.944 --> 00:16:04.646
  • And the need was dire and the need was big
  • 00:16:04.646 --> 00:16:07.916
  • And god didn't respond.
  • 00:16:08.417 --> 00:16:11.220
  • It's because god doesn't respond to your needs.
  • 00:16:11.220 --> 00:16:13.088
  • He responds to your dependance on him.
  • 00:16:13.088 --> 00:16:16.525
  • I have to believe that there were
  • 00:16:16.525 --> 00:16:17.459
  • Other people in the bible that were blind,
  • 00:16:17.459 --> 00:16:19.028
  • That needed sight, but did not receive it.
  • 00:16:19.028 --> 00:16:22.231
  • I have to believe that there are other people deaf
  • 00:16:22.231 --> 00:16:24.099
  • In the word of god
  • 00:16:24.099 --> 00:16:25.267
  • That were in need of a healing and did not receive that.
  • 00:16:25.267 --> 00:16:27.970
  • I have to believe that there were family members
  • 00:16:27.970 --> 00:16:29.905
  • Who wanted jesus to raise their loved ones from the dead
  • 00:16:29.905 --> 00:16:32.775
  • Because they needed it, but they did not receive it.
  • 00:16:32.775 --> 00:16:35.044
  • Because god does not move off of your need,
  • 00:16:35.044 --> 00:16:37.312
  • He moves off of your dependance.
  • 00:16:37.312 --> 00:16:39.348
  • That's why every miracle you read in the word of god,
  • 00:16:39.348 --> 00:16:41.884
  • Jesus tells the person that receives the miracle.
  • 00:16:41.884 --> 00:16:44.319
  • Your faith has made you whole.
  • 00:16:44.319 --> 00:16:47.423
  • Why? because he does not move off of your need.
  • 00:16:47.423 --> 00:16:50.359
  • He moves off of your dependance.
  • 00:16:50.359 --> 00:16:55.264
  • Jesus let the wine run out
  • 00:16:55.831 --> 00:16:57.766
  • Because he wanted to give them something better.
  • 00:16:57.766 --> 00:17:02.004
  • He wanted to give them himself.
  • 00:17:02.671 --> 00:17:06.809
  • You can't pray for god
  • 00:17:07.309 --> 00:17:08.377
  • To change a situation.
  • 00:17:08.377 --> 00:17:11.747
  • And you refuse
  • 00:17:12.114 --> 00:17:14.516
  • To change your source.
  • 00:17:14.516 --> 00:17:18.387
  • So some of you are too dependent upon your source,
  • 00:17:18.387 --> 00:17:21.423
  • And your source is yourself.
  • 00:17:21.990 --> 00:17:24.927
  • Your source becomes him and you become dependent upon him.
  • 00:17:24.927 --> 00:17:28.597
  • You can testify and say, all that i have
  • 00:17:28.597 --> 00:17:30.566
  • Need of his hand has provided.
  • 00:17:30.566 --> 00:17:33.569
  • But when you are your own source and you are dependent
  • 00:17:33.569 --> 00:17:36.138
  • Upon your own ability, you will soon learn
  • 00:17:36.138 --> 00:17:38.841
  • That you cannot fulfill yourself the way jesus can
  • 00:17:38.841 --> 00:17:41.877
  • And you cannot satisfy yourself the way jesus can.
  • 00:17:41.877 --> 00:17:44.746
  • And you cannot open doors the way jesus can,
  • 00:17:44.746 --> 00:17:47.149
  • And you cannot shut joints the way jesus can.
  • 00:17:47.149 --> 00:17:49.485
  • Only jesus can do these things, but you will never experience
  • 00:17:49.485 --> 00:17:52.888
  • These things
  • 00:17:52.888 --> 00:17:53.989
  • Until you completely and totally dependent upon him.
  • 00:17:53.989 --> 00:17:59.928
  • The best way
  • 00:18:00.262 --> 00:18:01.330
  • For me to put this is you will never experience
  • 00:18:01.330 --> 00:18:03.832
  • The miracle you need until jesus is
  • 00:18:03.832 --> 00:18:06.869
  • Your only option.
  • 00:18:06.869 --> 00:18:12.007
  • Never experience the breakthrough you desire to.
  • 00:18:12.975 --> 00:18:15.043
  • Jesus is your only
  • 00:18:15.043 --> 00:18:18.514
  • Option.
  • 00:18:18.747 --> 00:18:22.251
  • Miracles don't come when we ask.
  • 00:18:22.251 --> 00:18:26.054
  • They come and we acknowledge.
  • 00:18:26.688 --> 00:18:29.958
  • That this is the last option
  • 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:32.561
  • We have.
  • 00:18:32.561 --> 00:18:35.864
  • Jesus provided this miracle
  • 00:18:36.465 --> 00:18:39.868
  • Because they were out of options.
  • 00:18:39.868 --> 00:18:45.073
  • Point number four
  • 00:18:45.507 --> 00:18:46.375
  • And were willing to play.
  • 00:18:46.375 --> 00:18:51.380
  • Jesus didn't provide this miracle
  • 00:18:52.114 --> 00:18:53.949
  • Because they needed more wine.
  • 00:18:53.949 --> 00:18:57.686
  • Jesus provided
  • 00:18:58.020 --> 00:18:58.921
  • This miracle because he understood
  • 00:18:58.921 --> 00:19:02.191
  • That glory
  • 00:19:02.191 --> 00:19:04.259
  • Is greater than the gift.
  • 00:19:04.259 --> 00:19:07.362
  • The goal of every miracle
  • 00:19:07.930 --> 00:19:10.365
  • Isn't more stuff.
  • 00:19:10.365 --> 00:19:13.569
  • The goal of every miracle
  • 00:19:14.136 --> 00:19:16.471
  • Is more surrender.
  • 00:19:16.471 --> 00:19:19.942
  • John.
  • 00:19:20.175 --> 00:19:20.576
  • Chapter two,
  • 00:19:20.576 --> 00:19:22.511
  • Beginning at verse number eight,
  • 00:19:22.511 --> 00:19:25.948
  • Scripture says, and he said to them, now
  • 00:19:25.948 --> 00:19:28.250
  • Draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.
  • 00:19:28.250 --> 00:19:31.653
  • So they took it.
  • 00:19:31.653 --> 00:19:32.788
  • When the master,
  • 00:19:32.788 --> 00:19:33.755
  • The feast tasted the water, now become wine,
  • 00:19:33.755 --> 00:19:35.991
  • And did not know where it came from.
  • 00:19:35.991 --> 00:19:37.659
  • Though the servants who had drawn
  • 00:19:37.659 --> 00:19:39.027
  • The water knew the master of the feast,
  • 00:19:39.027 --> 00:19:40.696
  • Called the bridegroom,
  • 00:19:40.696 --> 00:19:42.097
  • And said to him, everyone serves good wine first.
  • 00:19:42.097 --> 00:19:44.700
  • And when people have drunk freely, the poor wine.
  • 00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:46.969
  • But you have kept the good wine until now.
  • 00:19:46.969 --> 00:19:49.371
  • This is the first of his signs jesus did at cana in galilee,
  • 00:19:49.371 --> 00:19:54.076
  • And manifested his glory.
  • 00:19:54.076 --> 00:19:57.913
  • This is why and his disciples believed in him.
  • 00:19:57.913 --> 00:20:02.517
  • So jesus turning water into wine wasn't
  • 00:20:02.517 --> 00:20:06.455
  • Just so people could have a good and merry time.
  • 00:20:06.455 --> 00:20:10.025
  • Jesus turning water into wine was to manifest his glory,
  • 00:20:10.025 --> 00:20:14.263
  • To anchor hope and faith deeper in his ability
  • 00:20:14.263 --> 00:20:18.000
  • To allow us to understand.
  • 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:19.968
  • Nothing in this life
  • 00:20:19.968 --> 00:20:21.703
  • Will fill us and fulfill us the way that jesus
  • 00:20:21.703 --> 00:20:25.741
  • Is the only one that can save and redeem and restore,
  • 00:20:25.741 --> 00:20:30.012
  • But he is also the only one that can revive what is dead.
  • 00:20:30.012 --> 00:20:35.417
  • What we must understand,
  • 00:20:35.951 --> 00:20:38.253
  • What we must identify and acknowledge, is that glory
  • 00:20:38.253 --> 00:20:42.057
  • Is greater than the gift.
  • 00:20:42.057 --> 00:20:47.029
  • If the miracle
  • 00:20:47.362 --> 00:20:49.264
  • Makes you forget the master,
  • 00:20:49.264 --> 00:20:52.167
  • Then you missed the message.
  • 00:20:52.167 --> 00:20:57.306
  • We shout and we hoo-rah
  • 00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:00.942
  • Over jesus turning water into wine.
  • 00:21:01.710 --> 00:21:04.780
  • But we missed the opportunity to honor
  • 00:21:04.780 --> 00:21:08.050
  • The wine maker.
  • 00:21:08.450 --> 00:21:12.721
  • See, wine making is a process,
  • 00:21:13.355 --> 00:21:16.625
  • And the process for making
  • 00:21:17.192 --> 00:21:19.661
  • Wine is months at a minimum.
  • 00:21:19.661 --> 00:21:23.765
  • If it's really good wine year at a minimum, and the more
  • 00:21:23.765 --> 00:21:28.837
  • That wine has fermented, the more costly that wine is.
  • 00:21:28.837 --> 00:21:33.208
  • And what jesus is telling us in the scripture
  • 00:21:33.208 --> 00:21:36.378
  • Is, what would normally take the year to produce.
  • 00:21:36.378 --> 00:21:40.215
  • I can make happen in mere seconds when you depend on me
  • 00:21:40.215 --> 00:21:45.287
  • To fulfill your soul and satisfy your spirit
  • 00:21:45.287 --> 00:21:49.491
  • And give to you what you can't give to yourself.
  • 00:21:49.491 --> 00:21:52.994
  • I am the god that takes rituals and turns him into revivals.
  • 00:21:52.994 --> 00:22:01.336
  • So we can't just look at
  • 00:22:01.870 --> 00:22:03.105
  • This text and celebrate the wine.
  • 00:22:03.105 --> 00:22:06.341
  • We have to also celebrate
  • 00:22:06.908 --> 00:22:08.377
  • The wine maker.
  • 00:22:08.377 --> 00:22:11.813
  • Jesus doesn't perform miracles
  • 00:22:11.813 --> 00:22:13.715
  • To make you comfortable.
  • 00:22:13.715 --> 00:22:16.785
  • He performs miracles
  • 00:22:17.252 --> 00:22:18.687
  • To make you more committed.
  • 00:22:18.687 --> 00:22:23.225
  • I refuse to pastor
  • 00:22:23.658 --> 00:22:25.594
  • An uncommitted church.
  • 00:22:25.594 --> 00:22:29.197
  • I refuse to pastor
  • 00:22:29.631 --> 00:22:31.500
  • A spineless, weak
  • 00:22:31.500 --> 00:22:34.569
  • Christianity that has settled
  • 00:22:34.569 --> 00:22:37.606
  • For what the world told you is christianity.
  • 00:22:37.606 --> 00:22:41.843
  • No, we will depend solely on the word of god
  • 00:22:41.843 --> 00:22:46.681
  • And chase after the presence of god
  • 00:22:46.681 --> 00:22:49.785
  • And be desperate for the power of god.
  • 00:22:49.785 --> 00:22:52.487
  • Because we understand it.
  • 00:22:52.487 --> 00:22:54.523
  • The lord doesn't do it.
  • 00:22:54.523 --> 00:22:56.625
  • It won't get done if he doesn't fulfill us.
  • 00:22:56.625 --> 00:23:00.462
  • It will not last if he does not sustain us.
  • 00:23:00.462 --> 00:23:04.166
  • It will not make a difference.
  • 00:23:04.166 --> 00:23:10.172
  • So i ask you this question.
  • 00:23:10.772 --> 00:23:14.843
  • What is empty in your life right now that needs to be filled?
  • 00:23:14.843 --> 00:23:20.182
  • Relationships.
  • 00:23:20.549 --> 00:23:22.083
  • Have you tried to fill that have left you empty and void?
  • 00:23:22.083 --> 00:23:26.254
  • What opportunities have you been chasing separate from jesus?
  • 00:23:27.389 --> 00:23:30.525
  • Because those opportunities
  • 00:23:30.525 --> 00:23:32.727
  • Will not lead you into perfect peace.
  • 00:23:32.727 --> 00:23:35.130
  • They will only lead you into greater storms.
  • 00:23:35.130 --> 00:23:43.071
  • When you can identify
  • 00:23:43.572 --> 00:23:44.639
  • With those areas, are.
  • 00:23:44.639 --> 00:23:47.843
  • A next question is
  • 00:23:47.843 --> 00:23:50.579
  • Are you willing to obey
  • 00:23:50.579 --> 00:23:53.348
  • Without understanding?
  • 00:23:53.348 --> 00:23:55.851
  • Because it is only when you come to that place
  • 00:23:55.851 --> 00:23:59.254
  • That you receive a peace that surpasses
  • 00:23:59.254 --> 00:24:02.524
  • All of your understanding.
  • 00:24:03.091 --> 00:24:06.394
  • And so if you're empty today, here's the reality.
  • 00:24:07.429 --> 00:24:10.565
  • You're not out.
  • 00:24:10.565 --> 00:24:11.967
  • You're in position.
  • 00:24:11.967 --> 00:24:13.502
  • You're in the perfect position for the spirit of god
  • 00:24:13.502 --> 00:24:16.505
  • To fill you and give you fulfillment
  • 00:24:16.505 --> 00:24:18.473
  • That you can't find anywhere else.
  • 00:24:18.473 --> 00:24:20.775
  • There's some of you listening to me right now
  • 00:24:20.775 --> 00:24:22.377
  • With the in this room or watching online.
  • 00:24:22.377 --> 00:24:23.845
  • You've been chasing things and you may have worldly wealth
  • 00:24:23.845 --> 00:24:27.282
  • And worldly materialism or worldly,
  • 00:24:27.282 --> 00:24:30.385
  • Things.
  • 00:24:30.619 --> 00:24:31.686
  • And you have everything that your heart's desire.
  • 00:24:31.686 --> 00:24:33.655
  • You can buy anything and you're still not fulfilled
  • 00:24:33.655 --> 00:24:36.358
  • Because you've tried to fill yourself with things god
  • 00:24:36.358 --> 00:24:39.227
  • Never called to sustain you.
  • 00:24:39.227 --> 00:24:41.062
  • And then on the flip side of that coin, there's
  • 00:24:41.062 --> 00:24:42.864
  • Some listening to me
  • 00:24:42.864 --> 00:24:43.932
  • That believe i'll just be happier
  • 00:24:43.932 --> 00:24:45.901
  • When i get those things,
  • 00:24:45.901 --> 00:24:47.335
  • And i'll have fulfillment when i get those things.
  • 00:24:47.335 --> 00:24:49.771
  • And i'll be happy when i get a raise,
  • 00:24:49.771 --> 00:24:51.873
  • And i get more money, and i'm able to buy this,
  • 00:24:51.873 --> 00:24:53.975
  • And i'm able to get this, and i'm able to obtain this,
  • 00:24:53.975 --> 00:24:56.278
  • And i'm able to get married.
  • 00:24:56.278 --> 00:24:57.546
  • I'm telling you, none of those things are meant to sustain you.
  • 00:24:57.546 --> 00:25:02.951
  • The only thing that will is jesus.
  • 00:25:03.718 --> 00:25:06.988
  • Well family.
  • 00:25:06.988 --> 00:25:07.522
  • We're out of time
  • 00:25:07.522 --> 00:25:08.623
  • For today's broadcast, but i want to encourage you
  • 00:25:08.623 --> 00:25:10.525
  • Continue to go on this journey with us
  • 00:25:10.525 --> 00:25:12.727
  • As we continue to go through the word of god
  • 00:25:12.727 --> 00:25:14.663
  • And glean from god's word what it is that he desires
  • 00:25:14.663 --> 00:25:18.099
  • For us to not only change, but be transformed by.
  • 00:25:18.099 --> 00:25:21.803
  • And we know
  • 00:25:21.803 --> 00:25:22.971
  • That is the very transformative power of jesus christ.
  • 00:25:22.971 --> 00:25:26.041
  • I also when encourage you, if this broadcast
  • 00:25:26.041 --> 00:25:28.443
  • Has blessed you, if this message has blessed you.
  • 00:25:28.443 --> 00:25:30.946
  • Would you just take a moment to pray and ask god what
  • 00:25:30.946 --> 00:25:34.015
  • His desire is, what his will is in partnering with us?
  • 00:25:34.015 --> 00:25:37.485
  • A team is going to throw some information
  • 00:25:37.485 --> 00:25:39.020
  • At the bottom of the screen as to how you can do so.
  • 00:25:39.020 --> 00:25:41.590
  • Whether you want to partner with us with what you deem to be
  • 00:25:41.590 --> 00:25:44.392
  • Small or large, there is no amount to big,
  • 00:25:44.392 --> 00:25:46.728
  • No amount to small.
  • 00:25:46.728 --> 00:25:48.496
  • I believe god is going to use whatever you contribute,
  • 00:25:48.496 --> 00:25:51.132
  • Whatever you sow,
  • 00:25:51.132 --> 00:25:52.300
  • And a supernatural way
  • 00:25:52.300 --> 00:25:53.435
  • To reach people far and wide all over the world.
  • 00:25:53.435 --> 00:25:56.638
  • I also want to set myself in agreement with you for what
  • 00:25:56.638 --> 00:25:59.107
  • You may be believing god for.
  • 00:25:59.107 --> 00:26:01.209
  • And so i'm going to stretch my hands
  • 00:26:01.209 --> 00:26:02.477
  • Towards the screen as a point of contact.
  • 00:26:02.477 --> 00:26:04.546
  • And i just believe that in this moment,
  • 00:26:04.546 --> 00:26:06.982
  • God can do any thing that we set our faith to him.
  • 00:26:06.982 --> 00:26:10.518
  • And so right now, in jesus name, i know that there
  • 00:26:10.518 --> 00:26:12.787
  • Some of our brothers and sisters right
  • 00:26:12.787 --> 00:26:14.923
  • Now, god, that need a physical healing.
  • 00:26:14.923 --> 00:26:17.092
  • I ask god that you would heal them right now.
  • 00:26:17.092 --> 00:26:19.160
  • We declare that they are healed
  • 00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:20.528
  • From the crown of their head to the soles of the feet.
  • 00:26:20.528 --> 00:26:23.298
  • I also understand and know god that there's some people
  • 00:26:23.298 --> 00:26:25.967
  • That have despair, that disheartened
  • 00:26:25.967 --> 00:26:28.336
  • By what they see happening in their world,
  • 00:26:28.336 --> 00:26:30.805
  • The disheartened by what they see
  • 00:26:30.805 --> 00:26:32.307
  • Happening in their family right now.
  • 00:26:32.307 --> 00:26:33.842
  • I just thank you that you would infuse them with the fresh
  • 00:26:33.842 --> 00:26:37.445
  • Infilling of hope and a fresh infilling of your spirit.
  • 00:26:37.445 --> 00:26:41.783
  • I thank you, god that there's nothing impossible for you.
  • 00:26:41.783 --> 00:26:45.286
  • In jesus name we pray
  • 00:26:45.787 --> 00:26:48.023
  • The family of this broadcast was a blessing.
  • 00:26:48.023 --> 00:26:51.026
  • I pray that you would continue to share what god has done
  • 00:26:51.026 --> 00:26:54.362
  • And what he will continue to do, what your friends
  • 00:26:54.362 --> 00:26:56.197
  • And your family
  • 00:26:56.197 --> 00:26:57.265
  • And if ever in the jacksonville area,
  • 00:26:57.265 --> 00:26:58.800
  • Stop by celebration church on a sunday 9 a.m.
  • 00:26:58.800 --> 00:27:01.736
  • And 11 a.m..
  • 00:27:01.736 --> 00:27:02.937
  • We can't wait to see you
  • 00:27:02.937 --> 00:27:03.872
  • And your family if you're ever in town.
  • 00:27:03.872 --> 00:27:05.540
  • We'd love to host you.
  • 00:27:05.540 --> 00:27:06.841
  • If not, i'll see you right back here.
  • 00:27:06.841 --> 00:27:08.810
  • Same time, same place next week.
  • 00:27:08.810 --> 00:27:10.879
  • Until then, be blessed.
