  • 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:21.271
  • Hey family is pastor tim timberlake.
  • 00:00:21.271 --> 00:00:23.506
  • And what a day we have to spend in the word of god.
  • 00:00:23.506 --> 00:00:28.545
  • I tell you, whenever i feel myself in a season
  • 00:00:28.545 --> 00:00:32.715
  • Where i feel spiritually dry, or maybe i have questions
  • 00:00:32.715 --> 00:00:36.319
  • And concerns and prayers that have gone unanswered,
  • 00:00:36.319 --> 00:00:39.389
  • And i'm looking for solutions.
  • 00:00:39.389 --> 00:00:41.324
  • When i turn to the word of god, i find the solutions that i
  • 00:00:41.324 --> 00:00:45.195
  • Have need of.
  • 00:00:45.195 --> 00:00:46.196
  • Today we're going to turn to the word of god.
  • 00:00:46.196 --> 00:00:48.364
  • We're going to go into god's word and see what
  • 00:00:48.364 --> 00:00:51.568
  • Are the things he has for us today.
  • 00:00:51.568 --> 00:00:54.637
  • As we've been walking through the acts of the apostles,
  • 00:00:54.637 --> 00:00:57.674
  • And specifically in acts chapter eight,
  • 00:00:57.674 --> 00:01:00.009
  • I really believe that god has been answering our prayers.
  • 00:01:00.009 --> 00:01:03.746
  • He's been meeting us
  • 00:01:03.746 --> 00:01:04.881
  • At this juncture between faith and maybe fear.
  • 00:01:04.881 --> 00:01:08.852
  • He's been meeting us
  • 00:01:08.852 --> 00:01:09.886
  • At this juncture, between faith and maybe worry.
  • 00:01:09.886 --> 00:01:13.890
  • And today, it's no different.
  • 00:01:13.890 --> 00:01:15.892
  • I believe the holy spirit's
  • 00:01:15.892 --> 00:01:16.960
  • Going to meet you right where you are,
  • 00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:18.328
  • And i believe he's
  • 00:01:18.328 --> 00:01:19.362
  • Going to deliver to you
  • 00:01:19.362 --> 00:01:20.263
  • The word that you need to
  • 00:01:20.263 --> 00:01:21.464
  • Get you from where you are to where he's calling you to be.
  • 00:01:21.464 --> 00:01:24.567
  • So let's go into the message
  • 00:01:24.567 --> 00:01:26.069
  • As it has already begun, entitled shared fire.
  • 00:01:26.069 --> 00:01:31.641
  • Waiting.
  • 00:01:31.875 --> 00:01:33.910
  • And i don't know if i can wait no more.
  • 00:01:33.910 --> 00:01:50.827
  • And it could be
  • 00:01:51.227 --> 00:01:54.030
  • The blessing you're frustrated by.
  • 00:01:54.030 --> 00:01:58.501
  • Maybe the blessing god
  • 00:01:58.968 --> 00:02:00.203
  • Is protecting you from.
  • 00:02:00.203 --> 00:02:06.176
  • So wait on the lord
  • 00:02:06.643 --> 00:02:09.479
  • And be of good courage.
  • 00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.949
  • Again i say, wait.
  • 00:02:13.383 --> 00:02:14.484
  • I don't even know why i'm here.
  • 00:02:14.484 --> 00:02:15.919
  • I just feel it in my spirit.
  • 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.222
  • Listen, listen.
  • 00:02:19.589 --> 00:02:20.523
  • I feel this in my spirit.
  • 00:02:20.523 --> 00:02:22.158
  • Someone has been abstinent for two years,
  • 00:02:22.158 --> 00:02:24.427
  • And you are contemplating breaking that abstinence
  • 00:02:24.427 --> 00:02:26.996
  • Because you didn't met the right one.
  • 00:02:26.996 --> 00:02:29.432
  • And you think, oh,
  • 00:02:29.432 --> 00:02:30.466
  • I can give this to them and god will understand.
  • 00:02:30.466 --> 00:02:33.036
  • Listen to me.
  • 00:02:33.036 --> 00:02:34.003
  • Wait.
  • 00:02:34.003 --> 00:02:48.284
  • What does it mean to wait?
  • 00:02:48.851 --> 00:02:50.887
  • It means you're not going on vacation with them alone.
  • 00:02:50.887 --> 00:02:55.124
  • Or. pastor, we're grown adults.
  • 00:02:55.758 --> 00:02:57.193
  • We can do whatever you want to. you're absolutely right.
  • 00:02:57.193 --> 00:02:59.596
  • But i'm telling you,
  • 00:02:59.596 --> 00:03:00.697
  • You are grabbing that person by the hand, and you're
  • 00:03:00.697 --> 00:03:02.966
  • Both leading yourselves into temptation. temptation.
  • 00:03:02.966 --> 00:03:05.868
  • You are not strong enough to defeat yourself.
  • 00:03:05.868 --> 00:03:08.004
  • And you pray, god, give me the strength. and god is so.
  • 00:03:08.004 --> 00:03:10.373
  • You know i told you to cancel the trip in the first place.
  • 00:03:10.373 --> 00:03:15.712
  • But we just go netflix and chill.
  • 00:03:16.412 --> 00:03:18.114
  • Maybe you're not strong enough
  • 00:03:18.114 --> 00:03:19.349
  • To netflix and chill
  • 00:03:19.349 --> 00:03:20.650
  • And you know you're not strong enough to next for the chill.
  • 00:03:20.650 --> 00:03:23.519
  • Maybe you need to
  • 00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:24.320
  • Hulu over facetime
  • 00:03:24.320 --> 00:03:25.521
  • Until you get to strength enough to netflix and chill.
  • 00:03:25.521 --> 00:03:29.325
  • Wait.
  • 00:03:29.325 --> 00:03:53.416
  • But you better recognize.
  • 00:03:53.983 --> 00:03:57.720
  • Is that what looks like delay on earth
  • 00:03:57.720 --> 00:04:01.090
  • May look like mercy in heaven.
  • 00:04:01.090 --> 00:04:04.727
  • And you, sitting here frustrated
  • 00:04:05.361 --> 00:04:07.330
  • And you're angry with god, and god has been protecting you
  • 00:04:07.330 --> 00:04:10.967
  • This entire time. he's been keeping you.
  • 00:04:10.967 --> 00:04:13.503
  • He's been keeping your mind and peace.
  • 00:04:13.503 --> 00:04:16.005
  • Because if you got what it was,
  • 00:04:16.005 --> 00:04:17.640
  • Then you've been praying for you.
  • 00:04:17.640 --> 00:04:18.941
  • Be so stressed
  • 00:04:18.941 --> 00:04:20.510
  • That you'd be asking god to remove it out of your life
  • 00:04:20.510 --> 00:04:23.112
  • Because you are not developed and mature enough and grown
  • 00:04:23.112 --> 00:04:25.982
  • Enough, and changed enough and transformed enough to
  • 00:04:25.982 --> 00:04:28.951
  • Shoot it wet.
  • 00:04:28.951 --> 00:04:31.854
  • Be patient enough to let him develop you
  • 00:04:32.722 --> 00:04:36.092
  • So that when you get it in your hands,
  • 00:04:36.092 --> 00:04:38.461
  • It doesn't get entangled in your heart.
  • 00:04:38.461 --> 00:04:43.700
  • Some things arrive late
  • 00:04:44.200 --> 00:04:47.236
  • Because god refuses to let them arrive.
  • 00:04:47.236 --> 00:04:50.006
  • Broken.
  • 00:04:50.006 --> 00:04:54.911
  • So i don't care how long it takes.
  • 00:04:55.645 --> 00:04:58.981
  • I don't care how slow you gotta walk.
  • 00:04:58.981 --> 00:05:01.584
  • When you step into that season.
  • 00:05:01.584 --> 00:05:03.519
  • You will step into that season.
  • 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.154
  • Whole nothing missing, nothing broken.
  • 00:05:05.154 --> 00:05:08.491
  • And the reason it is later because god does not want it
  • 00:05:08.491 --> 00:05:12.028
  • To arrive.
  • 00:05:12.028 --> 00:05:13.162
  • Fractured and broken.
  • 00:05:13.162 --> 00:05:14.864
  • He wanted to arrive.
  • 00:05:14.864 --> 00:05:16.265
  • Whole, just as you will hold.
  • 00:05:16.265 --> 00:05:25.575
  • So point number one.
  • 00:05:26.042 --> 00:05:35.885
  • The devil doesn't mind gifted people
  • 00:05:36.686 --> 00:05:39.789
  • As long as they stay disconnected.
  • 00:05:39.789 --> 00:05:41.591
  • People.
  • 00:05:41.591 --> 00:05:44.827
  • Philip had gifts.
  • 00:05:44.827 --> 00:05:47.430
  • Philip was anointed.
  • 00:05:47.430 --> 00:05:49.632
  • Peter had gifts.
  • 00:05:49.632 --> 00:05:51.701
  • Peter was anointed.
  • 00:05:51.701 --> 00:05:53.569
  • John had gifts.
  • 00:05:53.569 --> 00:05:55.405
  • John was anointed.
  • 00:05:55.405 --> 00:05:57.006
  • But jesus did not let
  • 00:05:57.006 --> 00:05:59.041
  • One of them take the credit for themselves.
  • 00:05:59.041 --> 00:06:02.645
  • This revival that took place, this movement that was birthed,
  • 00:06:02.645 --> 00:06:06.282
  • The spread of the gospel of jesus christ.
  • 00:06:06.282 --> 00:06:08.785
  • Not one person could take credit for it.
  • 00:06:08.785 --> 00:06:10.920
  • Only the power of
  • 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:12.021
  • The holy spirit at work, through many
  • 00:06:12.021 --> 00:06:14.157
  • Would take the credit for it, because god refuses to share
  • 00:06:14.157 --> 00:06:16.793
  • Glory with anyone.
  • 00:06:16.793 --> 00:06:19.462
  • And the reason the door is still closed
  • 00:06:20.263 --> 00:06:21.798
  • Is because you're still trying to get glory for it.
  • 00:06:21.798 --> 00:06:25.067
  • The reason the business is unsuccessful
  • 00:06:25.902 --> 00:06:27.703
  • Is because you're still trying to take credit for it.
  • 00:06:27.703 --> 00:06:31.040
  • The reason you're still stuck in the same old season
  • 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:34.110
  • Is because you want credibility in a season that god has called
  • 00:06:34.110 --> 00:06:37.580
  • You out of.
  • 00:06:37.580 --> 00:06:40.650
  • The devil doesn't mind that you're gifted.
  • 00:06:40.650 --> 00:06:44.053
  • As long as you remain disconnected.
  • 00:06:44.053 --> 00:06:48.958
  • God intentionally designed the kingdom
  • 00:06:49.792 --> 00:06:51.994
  • To require one another,
  • 00:06:51.994 --> 00:06:55.198
  • And the reality of your life
  • 00:06:55.198 --> 00:06:58.034
  • Is sad as it is,
  • 00:06:58.034 --> 00:07:00.803
  • Is that you and your gifts can open doors,
  • 00:07:00.803 --> 00:07:04.807
  • But your isolation can close
  • 00:07:04.807 --> 00:07:07.710
  • Destinies.
  • 00:07:07.710 --> 00:07:11.080
  • Can you imagine what would have happened
  • 00:07:11.080 --> 00:07:12.315
  • If peter and john would have refused to go to samaria?
  • 00:07:12.315 --> 00:07:16.352
  • I don't like samaritans.
  • 00:07:16.886 --> 00:07:19.755
  • They are lower class of people.
  • 00:07:20.389 --> 00:07:23.626
  • They have this tone in their skin.
  • 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.629
  • They come from this background. they have that walk of life.
  • 00:07:26.629 --> 00:07:29.599
  • Can you imagine
  • 00:07:29.599 --> 00:07:30.833
  • What would have happened to people that would have been lost
  • 00:07:30.833 --> 00:07:32.468
  • Between the cracks, the destinies
  • 00:07:32.468 --> 00:07:34.036
  • That would
  • 00:07:34.036 --> 00:07:35.137
  • Have been delayed, installed because they refused to
  • 00:07:35.137 --> 00:07:36.639
  • Step into greater purpose?
  • 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.107
  • They kept their preference.
  • 00:07:38.107 --> 00:07:42.712
  • But they moved in obedience.
  • 00:07:43.312 --> 00:07:44.547
  • Because the kingdom of god is so much bigger than them.
  • 00:07:44.547 --> 00:07:47.950
  • And your gift that may open doors,
  • 00:07:48.718 --> 00:07:50.186
  • But your isolation, it can close destiny.
  • 00:07:50.186 --> 00:07:52.555
  • Some people are anointed enough to start something,
  • 00:07:52.555 --> 00:07:55.091
  • But to disconnect it, to sustain it.
  • 00:07:55.091 --> 00:07:59.395
  • And when god gives you a vision, when god gives you a dream,
  • 00:08:00.563 --> 00:08:03.232
  • When god gives you a knowing
  • 00:08:03.232 --> 00:08:04.901
  • That that there's something
  • 00:08:04.901 --> 00:08:06.168
  • That you are going to do that is great,
  • 00:08:06.168 --> 00:08:08.638
  • You have to understand that it is bigger than you,
  • 00:08:08.638 --> 00:08:11.040
  • And it will take more than you to accomplish what god has
  • 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.043
  • Placed on the inside of you.
  • 00:08:14.043 --> 00:08:16.212
  • That's why partnership
  • 00:08:16.712 --> 00:08:17.713
  • Is so important.
  • 00:08:17.713 --> 00:08:21.250
  • That's why i don't want to do nothing
  • 00:08:22.051 --> 00:08:23.119
  • Without that girl.
  • 00:08:23.119 --> 00:08:26.522
  • That's why it ain't me
  • 00:08:27.023 --> 00:08:28.324
  • In a first lady.
  • 00:08:28.324 --> 00:08:33.129
  • That's why
  • 00:08:33.429 --> 00:08:34.063
  • You have two senior pastors.
  • 00:08:34.063 --> 00:08:37.800
  • Because the devil is not afraid of isolated, gifted people.
  • 00:08:39.001 --> 00:08:44.540
  • He is afraid of a unified front that comes into agreement
  • 00:08:44.540 --> 00:08:48.878
  • With what the word of god says.
  • 00:08:48.878 --> 00:08:50.746
  • That what
  • 00:08:50.746 --> 00:08:51.948
  • The word of god tells us to do, and who the word of god
  • 00:08:51.948 --> 00:08:54.250
  • Tells us to become, that is who the enemy is afraid of.
  • 00:08:54.250 --> 00:08:59.388
  • And some people are anointed
  • 00:08:59.956 --> 00:09:01.357
  • To start something, but to disconnect it, to sustain it.
  • 00:09:01.357 --> 00:09:04.860
  • That's why celebration church will never sit on an island,
  • 00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:08.130
  • Will always be connected to other churches.
  • 00:09:09.031 --> 00:09:12.568
  • You've heard me say this before and i'll tell you again,
  • 00:09:13.669 --> 00:09:15.638
  • If this is not your cup of tea,
  • 00:09:15.638 --> 00:09:17.106
  • I will refer you to other great churches,
  • 00:09:17.106 --> 00:09:19.208
  • Not just around the world, but right here in our city.
  • 00:09:19.208 --> 00:09:23.913
  • Because
  • 00:09:24.146 --> 00:09:25.214
  • The kingdom of god is not built off on personality.
  • 00:09:25.214 --> 00:09:27.450
  • The kingdom of god is not built off one person.
  • 00:09:27.450 --> 00:09:29.952
  • The kingdom of god is built off of what the holy spirit
  • 00:09:29.952 --> 00:09:32.488
  • Is doing through the works of many sons and daughters.
  • 00:09:32.488 --> 00:09:37.326
  • The kingdom of god was never built on stars.
  • 00:09:37.326 --> 00:09:41.397
  • It was built by the body.
  • 00:09:41.397 --> 00:09:43.766
  • And if we are not abiding, then we are a star
  • 00:09:43.766 --> 00:09:48.204
  • Trying to shine and take credit for what
  • 00:09:48.204 --> 00:09:50.306
  • Only the holy spirit deserves to get credit for.
  • 00:09:50.306 --> 00:09:53.409
  • And you are not that important.
  • 00:09:53.409 --> 00:09:55.645
  • God will elevate someone else and sit you down.
  • 00:09:55.645 --> 00:09:59.148
  • Never think that it stops with you.
  • 00:09:59.148 --> 00:10:01.183
  • Never think that it starts with you.
  • 00:10:01.183 --> 00:10:03.185
  • Always walk to the throne with humility.
  • 00:10:03.185 --> 00:10:06.222
  • And when you do, he gives you
  • 00:10:06.222 --> 00:10:07.523
  • Boldness to understand it is bigger than you.
  • 00:10:07.523 --> 00:10:15.064
  • The devil isn't intimidated by your talent.
  • 00:10:15.965 --> 00:10:18.167
  • He's intimidated by your agreement.
  • 00:10:18.167 --> 00:10:20.403
  • And what i've learned is that many churches have power,
  • 00:10:20.403 --> 00:10:22.571
  • But they like partnership.
  • 00:10:22.571 --> 00:10:26.242
  • Insecure leaders
  • 00:10:26.642 --> 00:10:28.678
  • Want to be the big dogs.
  • 00:10:28.678 --> 00:10:31.747
  • I secure.
  • 00:10:31.747 --> 00:10:32.415
  • Leader wants to lock on and on
  • 00:10:32.415 --> 00:10:33.749
  • With other great leaders and say,
  • 00:10:33.749 --> 00:10:35.251
  • How can we push back the veil of darkness together?
  • 00:10:35.251 --> 00:10:37.920
  • That's why there's a street preachers podcast.
  • 00:10:37.920 --> 00:10:43.959
  • Not because we have to, but because we get to we want to.
  • 00:10:45.127 --> 00:10:49.565
  • We want to lock arm in arm with other churches
  • 00:10:49.565 --> 00:10:52.401
  • And other great leaders around the word of god
  • 00:10:52.401 --> 00:10:55.471
  • To see the word of god spread farther than we ever
  • 00:10:55.471 --> 00:10:59.275
  • Could, staying on an island isolated and being stingy
  • 00:10:59.275 --> 00:11:03.479
  • And selfish with the gifts and talents that god had given us
  • 00:11:03.479 --> 00:11:07.049
  • Point number two
  • 00:11:07.416 --> 00:11:08.684
  • Is this people who need credit often miss what god is creating.
  • 00:11:08.684 --> 00:11:11.754
  • If you always need the credit for something,
  • 00:11:12.688 --> 00:11:14.690
  • You are missing an opportunity to see what god is creating.
  • 00:11:14.690 --> 00:11:17.693
  • And what i've come to learn is some people don't want revival.
  • 00:11:17.693 --> 00:11:21.063
  • They want recognition.
  • 00:11:21.063 --> 00:11:23.165
  • They want to be recognized for what they do.
  • 00:11:23.165 --> 00:11:25.067
  • They want to be recognized for how they give.
  • 00:11:25.067 --> 00:11:26.769
  • They want to be recognized for the word they know.
  • 00:11:26.769 --> 00:11:28.504
  • They want to be recognized for how many times they pray.
  • 00:11:28.504 --> 00:11:30.940
  • They want to be recognized
  • 00:11:30.940 --> 00:11:32.108
  • For how much scripture they know,
  • 00:11:32.108 --> 00:11:33.576
  • For how many people they're connected to.
  • 00:11:33.576 --> 00:11:35.111
  • They want to be recognized.
  • 00:11:35.111 --> 00:11:36.545
  • They don't want revival.
  • 00:11:36.545 --> 00:11:38.547
  • How do you know when to.
  • 00:11:38.547 --> 00:11:39.749
  • Revival has hit your life, and it's hit your church
  • 00:11:39.749 --> 00:11:42.685
  • When no one takes the credit for it only gives glory
  • 00:11:42.685 --> 00:11:45.755
  • To the holy spirit.
  • 00:11:45.755 --> 00:11:47.389
  • When we no longer want
  • 00:11:47.389 --> 00:11:48.824
  • Recognition, we just want and crave revival.
  • 00:11:48.824 --> 00:11:55.264
  • When black people can worship beside white people, and white
  • 00:11:56.432 --> 00:11:58.868
  • People can worship beside latino people,
  • 00:11:58.868 --> 00:12:00.636
  • And latino people can worship beside asian people,
  • 00:12:00.636 --> 00:12:02.972
  • And asian people can worship beside africans, and africans
  • 00:12:02.972 --> 00:12:05.908
  • Can worship beside indians, and indians can worship beside
  • 00:12:05.908 --> 00:12:09.545
  • Whoever god has called for them to worship beside.
  • 00:12:09.545 --> 00:12:13.249
  • Because this is not about recognition.
  • 00:12:13.249 --> 00:12:17.386
  • It is about the spirit of god doing something so significant
  • 00:12:17.386 --> 00:12:21.891
  • That not one person, not one church,
  • 00:12:21.891 --> 00:12:23.793
  • Not one movement can take the credit for it.
  • 00:12:23.793 --> 00:12:28.697
  • Eagle, ask the question.
  • 00:12:29.231 --> 00:12:32.935
  • I wonder, did they notice me?
  • 00:12:33.569 --> 00:12:37.406
  • But love asked the question
  • 00:12:38.007 --> 00:12:40.409
  • That i served them the way god wanted me to.
  • 00:12:40.409 --> 00:12:45.915
  • People that want to be remembered
  • 00:12:46.615 --> 00:12:49.785
  • Often have forgotten why they got started.
  • 00:12:50.686 --> 00:12:55.691
  • The purpose of this life
  • 00:12:56.225 --> 00:12:59.261
  • Is to live in such a way that yo
  • 00:12:59.261 --> 00:13:03.365
  • You take your last breath.
  • 00:13:03.933 --> 00:13:05.467
  • This flesh is buried,
  • 00:13:05.467 --> 00:13:06.735
  • You are forgotten, and jesus is still glorified.
  • 00:13:06.735 --> 00:13:17.046
  • Jesus will let you touch his work,
  • 00:13:17.813 --> 00:13:21.050
  • But he will not let you steal his glory.
  • 00:13:21.050 --> 00:13:29.792
  • You need to remember
  • 00:13:30.259 --> 00:13:30.993
  • What he's done for you.
  • 00:13:30.993 --> 00:13:34.029
  • How he set you free.
  • 00:13:34.496 --> 00:13:36.899
  • I know for some of you has been some years since you.
  • 00:13:36.899 --> 00:13:39.702
  • You've been delivered and set free.
  • 00:13:39.702 --> 00:13:40.970
  • But you got a memory on you.
  • 00:13:40.970 --> 00:13:44.073
  • You remember how bound you was, how stuck you was,
  • 00:13:45.074 --> 00:13:47.543
  • How deep into that cycle of sin and how bad you want it
  • 00:13:47.543 --> 00:13:51.547
  • To break out of it.
  • 00:13:51.547 --> 00:13:52.715
  • But your flesh kept pulling you backwards, and he set
  • 00:13:52.715 --> 00:13:55.417
  • You free from that.
  • 00:13:55.417 --> 00:13:59.555
  • You can remember five years ago
  • 00:14:00.189 --> 00:14:01.290
  • When you thought you were going to die.
  • 00:14:01.290 --> 00:14:05.794
  • He set you free from that.
  • 00:14:06.362 --> 00:14:10.366
  • How you couldn't find your mind when you were searching for it.
  • 00:14:11.567 --> 00:14:13.869
  • And he set you free from that.
  • 00:14:13.869 --> 00:14:18.574
  • May we be a people that proclaim and sing
  • 00:14:19.408 --> 00:14:21.777
  • I never shall forget.
  • 00:14:21.777 --> 00:14:27.316
  • What he's done for me.
  • 00:14:27.783 --> 00:14:40.596
  • Scripture teaches us
  • 00:14:41.063 --> 00:14:43.666
  • That philip and simon, they had jesus.
  • 00:14:43.666 --> 00:14:47.303
  • They believed in jesus.
  • 00:14:47.303 --> 00:14:48.804
  • They were followers of jesus.
  • 00:14:48.804 --> 00:14:50.472
  • They were baptized in the name of jesus.
  • 00:14:50.472 --> 00:14:52.474
  • But the holy spirit had not yet came.
  • 00:14:52.474 --> 00:14:57.179
  • Which is a great encouragement to us.
  • 00:14:57.179 --> 00:15:01.383
  • It teaches us that there is more
  • 00:15:02.017 --> 00:15:05.521
  • That jesus has for you than what
  • 00:15:06.155 --> 00:15:09.024
  • You have already received.
  • 00:15:09.024 --> 00:15:12.261
  • Have you ever thought to
  • 00:15:12.261 --> 00:15:13.195
  • Yourself, there has to be more than this,
  • 00:15:13.195 --> 00:15:16.966
  • That there has to be more than waking up every day,
  • 00:15:16.966 --> 00:15:20.569
  • Clocking into my job, clocking out, going home miserable,
  • 00:15:20.569 --> 00:15:25.407
  • Watching tv on my couch, going to sleep.
  • 00:15:25.407 --> 00:15:28.344
  • Waking up to do the same thing over and over and over again.
  • 00:15:28.344 --> 00:15:33.949
  • There has to be more to life than this.
  • 00:15:33.949 --> 00:15:42.791
  • There has to be more.
  • 00:15:43.292 --> 00:15:45.928
  • Surely there's more.
  • 00:15:45.928 --> 00:15:48.530
  • And the reality is,
  • 00:15:48.530 --> 00:15:50.499
  • Is that there's so much more.
  • 00:15:50.499 --> 00:15:53.602
  • So much more than what you currently have.
  • 00:15:54.503 --> 00:15:59.475
  • There's so much more than what you've currently received.
  • 00:15:59.475 --> 00:16:03.145
  • There's so much more than who you currently. no.
  • 00:16:03.145 --> 00:16:09.518
  • There is more.
  • 00:16:09.852 --> 00:16:12.888
  • More hope
  • 00:16:13.188 --> 00:16:16.025
  • Or love.
  • 00:16:16.025 --> 00:16:18.093
  • More grace, more peace, more joy, more rejoicing.
  • 00:16:18.093 --> 00:16:22.731
  • More, more, more.
  • 00:16:22.731 --> 00:16:25.334
  • How do i know this?
  • 00:16:25.334 --> 00:16:26.535
  • Because the word of god says that in his presence
  • 00:16:26.535 --> 00:16:29.938
  • There is the fullness
  • 00:16:29.938 --> 00:16:32.741
  • Of joy.
  • 00:16:32.741 --> 00:16:35.778
  • And pleasures
  • 00:16:35.778 --> 00:16:37.446
  • At his right hand forever more.
  • 00:16:37.446 --> 00:16:40.983
  • There has to be more.
  • 00:16:40.983 --> 00:16:49.458
  • Peter and john.
  • 00:16:49.825 --> 00:16:52.928
  • And pray that they would receive
  • 00:16:52.928 --> 00:16:55.864
  • The holy spirit.
  • 00:16:55.864 --> 00:17:00.936
  • To a people
  • 00:17:01.270 --> 00:17:03.105
  • That they did not like.
  • 00:17:03.105 --> 00:17:06.408
  • Which leads me to point number three.
  • 00:17:06.408 --> 00:17:09.578
  • Only jesus can make you pray for people you want it to.
  • 00:17:09.578 --> 00:17:12.581
  • Once. punish.
  • 00:17:12.581 --> 00:17:19.321
  • John asked jesus in luke chapter nine,
  • 00:17:20.155 --> 00:17:22.691
  • Should we call down fire from heaven? jesus rebuked him.
  • 00:17:22.691 --> 00:17:25.661
  • Years later, john returns to samaria, not to destroy.
  • 00:17:25.661 --> 00:17:29.231
  • Not to judge, but to pray.
  • 00:17:29.231 --> 00:17:31.500
  • The same hands that once wanted to destroy them
  • 00:17:31.500 --> 00:17:34.369
  • Became the same hands that god used to bless them.
  • 00:17:34.369 --> 00:17:37.539
  • How do you know when you truly been
  • 00:17:37.539 --> 00:17:40.742
  • And filled with the power of the holy spirit?
  • 00:17:40.742 --> 00:17:44.546
  • When you can pray for the same people you desire to punish?
  • 00:17:44.546 --> 00:17:50.052
  • How do i know personally, when i am maturing?
  • 00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:54.490
  • How do i know when i am becoming more like jesus?
  • 00:17:54.490 --> 00:17:57.059
  • How do i know
  • 00:17:57.059 --> 00:17:58.327
  • When i'm walking in the purpose that jesus has called for me to
  • 00:17:58.327 --> 00:18:01.663
  • Walk in?
  • 00:18:01.663 --> 00:18:02.764
  • I know that i'm maturing when my first response is
  • 00:18:02.764 --> 00:18:06.335
  • Prayer and not punishment.
  • 00:18:06.335 --> 00:18:11.640
  • When you hear their name and you pray for them
  • 00:18:12.574 --> 00:18:14.943
  • And ain't talking about no crazy fake salt food
  • 00:18:14.943 --> 00:18:18.847
  • Prayer, i'm talking about you.
  • 00:18:18.847 --> 00:18:20.582
  • Really pray for them that god would bless them,
  • 00:18:20.582 --> 00:18:23.619
  • That god would open up doors for them,
  • 00:18:23.619 --> 00:18:25.621
  • That god would keep and protect them.
  • 00:18:25.621 --> 00:18:27.589
  • That god would lift them up.
  • 00:18:27.589 --> 00:18:29.057
  • Talking about you.
  • 00:18:29.057 --> 00:18:30.159
  • Pray for the people that you once wanted to punish.
  • 00:18:30.159 --> 00:18:33.428
  • That's how you know that you are filled
  • 00:18:33.428 --> 00:18:35.697
  • With the power of the holy spirit.
  • 00:18:35.697 --> 00:18:37.533
  • Not that you can speak in tongues.
  • 00:18:37.533 --> 00:18:40.969
  • Not that you can shout until you're dizzy,
  • 00:18:41.837 --> 00:18:45.140
  • Not until you can cry.
  • 00:18:45.140 --> 00:18:46.408
  • Until your ear ducts,
  • 00:18:46.408 --> 00:18:47.509
  • Your tear ducts run dry, is that you can forgive
  • 00:18:47.509 --> 00:18:50.746
  • Those that hurt you and pray for those you desire to punish.
  • 00:18:50.746 --> 00:19:01.290
  • Because the greatest
  • 00:19:01.757 --> 00:19:02.691
  • Evidence that jesus changed your heart.
  • 00:19:02.691 --> 00:19:05.494
  • It's not how you treat your friends.
  • 00:19:05.494 --> 00:19:08.530
  • It's how you treat your enemies.
  • 00:19:08.530 --> 00:19:14.269
  • How you treat those that you know don't like you.
  • 00:19:15.304 --> 00:19:17.172
  • How you treat those that talk bad about you,
  • 00:19:17.172 --> 00:19:18.807
  • How you treat those that curse you.
  • 00:19:18.807 --> 00:19:20.075
  • How you treat those that know mean you wrong.
  • 00:19:20.075 --> 00:19:23.845
  • How you treat
  • 00:19:23.845 --> 00:19:24.913
  • Those that you know desire you for the bad things.
  • 00:19:24.913 --> 00:19:28.217
  • How do you treat them
  • 00:19:28.217 --> 00:19:31.119
  • As a testimony?
  • 00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:35.691
  • If you've been filled
  • 00:19:36.191 --> 00:19:37.025
  • With the holy spirit or not?
  • 00:19:37.025 --> 00:19:40.562
  • Because only jesus
  • 00:19:40.996 --> 00:19:44.066
  • Can turn resentment
  • 00:19:44.533 --> 00:19:47.135
  • Into intercession.
  • 00:19:47.135 --> 00:19:57.512
  • The only way you can do that.
  • 00:19:58.146 --> 00:20:01.316
  • Is when you remind yourself,
  • 00:20:01.917 --> 00:20:04.219
  • It's bigger than me.
  • 00:20:04.219 --> 00:20:07.723
  • The grace i'm stewarding.
  • 00:20:08.290 --> 00:20:10.025
  • It's bigger than me.
  • 00:20:10.025 --> 00:20:12.461
  • The calling i'm stewarding.
  • 00:20:12.461 --> 00:20:13.895
  • It's bigger than me.
  • 00:20:13.895 --> 00:20:15.664
  • The relationship i'm stewarding.
  • 00:20:16.298 --> 00:20:18.066
  • It's bigger than me.
  • 00:20:18.066 --> 00:20:19.701
  • It's one thing for god to bless you with something
  • 00:20:19.701 --> 00:20:22.404
  • That you can carry alone, but it's completely different
  • 00:20:22.404 --> 00:20:24.873
  • When god blesses you so much, so big that it takes partnership
  • 00:20:24.873 --> 00:20:28.310
  • To carry you.
  • 00:20:28.310 --> 00:20:28.910
  • It's bigger than you.
  • 00:20:28.910 --> 00:20:33.315
  • The reason you
  • 00:20:33.649 --> 00:20:34.750
  • Won't be overwhelmed is because it's bigger than you.
  • 00:20:34.750 --> 00:20:37.486
  • The reason you won't be taken out
  • 00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:39.788
  • Is because the call of god, it's bigger than you.
  • 00:20:39.788 --> 00:20:41.790
  • The purpose of god. it's bigger than you.
  • 00:20:41.790 --> 00:20:43.225
  • The plan of god. it's bigger than you.
  • 00:20:43.225 --> 00:20:44.626
  • It does not need you.
  • 00:20:44.626 --> 00:20:45.827
  • But god desires to use you.
  • 00:20:45.827 --> 00:20:47.729
  • It is bigger than you.
  • 00:20:47.729 --> 00:20:50.032
  • Sure, god could have used peter alone.
  • 00:20:50.032 --> 00:20:51.900
  • Sure, god could have used john alone.
  • 00:20:51.900 --> 00:20:53.502
  • Sure, god could have used philip alone.
  • 00:20:53.502 --> 00:20:54.970
  • But god decided that
  • 00:20:54.970 --> 00:20:56.371
  • They would work in partnership so not one person
  • 00:20:56.371 --> 00:20:58.807
  • Could take the credibility and get the
  • 00:20:58.807 --> 00:21:00.976
  • The credit for what it was
  • 00:21:00.976 --> 00:21:02.377
  • Only the holy spirit could do because it is bigger than you.
  • 00:21:02.377 --> 00:21:07.416
  • The reason you have to share
  • 00:21:08.016 --> 00:21:09.017
  • Your testimony is because it is bigger than you.
  • 00:21:09.017 --> 00:21:12.087
  • The reason you have to testify about what
  • 00:21:12.087 --> 00:21:14.056
  • Jesus has delivered you from is because it is bigger than you.
  • 00:21:14.056 --> 00:21:17.859
  • The reason you have to keep waking up
  • 00:21:17.859 --> 00:21:19.661
  • And acknowledging that today
  • 00:21:19.661 --> 00:21:20.996
  • His new mercies overwhelm me is because it is bigger than you.
  • 00:21:20.996 --> 00:21:25.334
  • The reason the church was built to sustain
  • 00:21:25.334 --> 00:21:28.303
  • And not die is because it is bigger than us.
  • 00:21:28.303 --> 00:21:32.274
  • The reason
  • 00:21:32.274 --> 00:21:33.442
  • This revival will not quit and it will continue on long
  • 00:21:33.442 --> 00:21:36.445
  • After we are gone is because it is bigger than us.
  • 00:21:36.445 --> 00:21:40.415
  • The reason the enemy will not win is because god's plan for
  • 00:21:40.415 --> 00:21:44.453
  • Your life is greater than you.
  • 00:21:44.453 --> 00:21:48.090
  • Because the neighbor tell your neighbor it's bigger than you.
  • 00:21:49.224 --> 00:21:51.493
  • It's bigger than you. look at your other neighbor.
  • 00:21:51.493 --> 00:21:53.662
  • Remind them it's bigger than you.
  • 00:21:53.662 --> 00:21:55.397
  • Revival
  • 00:21:55.397 --> 00:21:56.598
  • Doesn't belong to one voice because it is bigger than you.
  • 00:21:56.598 --> 00:21:59.534
  • The harvest is too great
  • 00:21:59.534 --> 00:22:00.702
  • For one harvester because it is bigger than you.
  • 00:22:00.702 --> 00:22:04.506
  • It is bigger than you. why?
  • 00:22:04.506 --> 00:22:06.074
  • Because it is greater than you.
  • 00:22:06.074 --> 00:22:10.979
  • How do i know it's greater than you?
  • 00:22:11.747 --> 00:22:14.549
  • Because the word of god says,
  • 00:22:14.549 --> 00:22:16.985
  • Greater is he
  • 00:22:16.985 --> 00:22:20.055
  • That is in me than he
  • 00:22:20.555 --> 00:22:25.127
  • That is in the world.
  • 00:22:25.127 --> 00:22:35.570
  • So peter and john prayed.
  • 00:22:36.138 --> 00:22:39.307
  • They shared the fire.
  • 00:22:39.307 --> 00:22:44.212
  • And they prayed
  • 00:22:44.579 --> 00:22:45.547
  • That the holy spirit would fall.
  • 00:22:45.547 --> 00:22:49.751
  • They prayed that they would
  • 00:22:50.352 --> 00:22:51.553
  • Receive the holy spirit,
  • 00:22:51.553 --> 00:22:55.090
  • And they prayed that they would be changed and transformed
  • 00:22:55.090 --> 00:22:58.427
  • By the holy spirit.
  • 00:22:58.427 --> 00:22:59.895
  • Look at me for a second.
  • 00:22:59.895 --> 00:23:01.129
  • It's going to take all of us.
  • 00:23:01.129 --> 00:23:05.901
  • It's not just on me.
  • 00:23:06.368 --> 00:23:08.170
  • It's not just on you.
  • 00:23:08.170 --> 00:23:10.005
  • It's on all of us.
  • 00:23:10.005 --> 00:23:12.607
  • This. this fire.
  • 00:23:12.607 --> 00:23:14.476
  • It is shared fire.
  • 00:23:14.476 --> 00:23:18.180
  • It is like a fire.
  • 00:23:18.613 --> 00:23:20.715
  • Shut up in my bones.
  • 00:23:20.715 --> 00:23:23.952
  • And i refuse to allow
  • 00:23:23.952 --> 00:23:27.389
  • What god has placed in our hands to be laid down,
  • 00:23:27.389 --> 00:23:32.928
  • Because we did not operate in unity and agreement together.
  • 00:23:32.928 --> 00:23:37.899
  • This fire, it is a shared fire because it is bigger than you.
  • 00:23:37.899 --> 00:23:46.174
  • I sure do hope you are blessed by that word.
  • 00:23:47.108 --> 00:23:50.212
  • I sure do pray that that word not only changed you,
  • 00:23:50.212 --> 00:23:53.548
  • But you have areas in your life now that the holy spirit is
  • 00:23:53.548 --> 00:23:56.618
  • Placed his finger on that
  • 00:23:56.618 --> 00:23:58.186
  • You desperately need him to transform.
  • 00:23:58.186 --> 00:24:01.490
  • The goal of this life is that we would become more like jesus.
  • 00:24:01.490 --> 00:24:05.427
  • That when people hear us speak, they hear jesus.
  • 00:24:05.427 --> 00:24:07.729
  • When people see us walk, they see jesus walking.
  • 00:24:07.729 --> 00:24:10.098
  • When people see our restoration and our reactions
  • 00:24:10.098 --> 00:24:14.069
  • And our responses to various things,
  • 00:24:14.069 --> 00:24:16.104
  • They experience the love of jesus christ.
  • 00:24:16.104 --> 00:24:19.107
  • And my prayer
  • 00:24:19.107 --> 00:24:20.408
  • Is that this fire that we carry would be shared with everyone
  • 00:24:20.408 --> 00:24:23.745
  • That we come in the contact with,
  • 00:24:23.745 --> 00:24:25.380
  • And that is the way that people will determine who we believe
  • 00:24:25.380 --> 00:24:30.285
  • And to what level we say we believe in him.
  • 00:24:30.285 --> 00:24:34.155
  • Right now,
  • 00:24:34.456 --> 00:24:35.390
  • Our team is going to throw some information
  • 00:24:35.390 --> 00:24:36.525
  • At the bottom of the screen.
  • 00:24:36.525 --> 00:24:38.193
  • Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us?
  • 00:24:38.193 --> 00:24:40.495
  • I want you to take just a brief moment.
  • 00:24:40.495 --> 00:24:42.864
  • Just pray and ask the lord, what is it
  • 00:24:42.864 --> 00:24:46.034
  • That you desire for me to sow into timberlake ministries?
  • 00:24:46.034 --> 00:24:50.338
  • Each contribution
  • 00:24:50.338 --> 00:24:51.373
  • Helps for us to continue to spread this gospel.
  • 00:24:51.373 --> 00:24:55.277
  • It helps us to continue the spread of the word of god.
  • 00:24:55.277 --> 00:24:59.981
  • In the coming weeks, we'll learn how revival begin
  • 00:24:59.981 --> 00:25:03.285
  • To break out in samaria
  • 00:25:03.285 --> 00:25:05.253
  • And where it was sent to the apostles in jerusalem.
  • 00:25:05.253 --> 00:25:07.756
  • And they sent peter and john.
  • 00:25:07.756 --> 00:25:10.859
  • Who is it that god is going to use you
  • 00:25:10.859 --> 00:25:13.528
  • To send this word to today because of your partnership?
  • 00:25:13.528 --> 00:25:17.566
  • I'm telling you,
  • 00:25:17.933 --> 00:25:19.100
  • There's something supernatural about partnering
  • 00:25:19.100 --> 00:25:21.136
  • With heaven to ensure that the gospel of jesus christ
  • 00:25:21.136 --> 00:25:25.140
  • Does not fall by the wayside on our watch.
  • 00:25:25.140 --> 00:25:28.510
  • Partner with us.
  • 00:25:28.877 --> 00:25:29.911
  • Help us continue to spread and the advancement
  • 00:25:29.911 --> 00:25:32.614
  • Of the gospel of jesus christ.
  • 00:25:32.614 --> 00:25:34.015
  • And i guarantee you this that you cannot out give god,
  • 00:25:34.015 --> 00:25:37.886
  • You cannot out.
  • 00:25:37.886 --> 00:25:39.054
  • So god and everything that you contribute, everything
  • 00:25:39.054 --> 00:25:42.057
  • That you invest into the kingdom of god,
  • 00:25:42.057 --> 00:25:43.892
  • Everything that you so generously,
  • 00:25:43.892 --> 00:25:46.094
  • Out of the abundance of your heart,
  • 00:25:46.094 --> 00:25:47.696
  • God will always multiply and return to you
  • 00:25:47.696 --> 00:25:51.700
  • In the form and fashions as he desires.
  • 00:25:51.700 --> 00:25:56.137
  • And so, right now, in jesus name,
  • 00:25:56.137 --> 00:25:57.872
  • I set myself in agreement with my brother and my sister,
  • 00:25:57.872 --> 00:26:01.076
  • Those that are partnering with us right now, god,
  • 00:26:01.076 --> 00:26:04.245
  • Those that have seed in their hearts to sow.
  • 00:26:04.245 --> 00:26:07.315
  • And i ask god that you had multiplied those seeds.
  • 00:26:07.315 --> 00:26:10.218
  • God allowed them to become stewards of more.
  • 00:26:10.218 --> 00:26:13.188
  • Your word says, god, that you give seed to the sower.
  • 00:26:13.188 --> 00:26:15.924
  • And so right now, in jesus name, i thank you
  • 00:26:15.924 --> 00:26:18.393
  • That as my brother and sister have the intention to,
  • 00:26:18.393 --> 00:26:21.029
  • So that you would meet them at this place of obedience,
  • 00:26:21.029 --> 00:26:23.898
  • And that you would multiply their seed
  • 00:26:23.898 --> 00:26:26.067
  • And allow them to stuart
  • 00:26:26.067 --> 00:26:27.769
