- ♪♪
- 00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:08.091
- ♪♪
- 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:17.300
- Hey family, it's pastor tim timberlake, celebration church,
- 00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:20.670
- And i
- 00:00:20.904 --> 00:00:22.205
- Want to start this broadcast by asking you a serious question.
- 00:00:22.205 --> 00:00:24.240
- What are you doing right now?
- 00:00:24.874 --> 00:00:27.043
- What do you have your hands on that god has placed
- 00:00:27.043 --> 00:00:30.080
- In those hands?
- 00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:31.581
- Do you define that as a holy work,
- 00:00:31.581 --> 00:00:33.950
- Or do you define it as minuscule?
- 00:00:33.950 --> 00:00:36.453
- Today's broadcast.
- 00:00:36.453 --> 00:00:37.520
- I got a word for you that i believe is going to shape
- 00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:39.722
- And shift you into the season.
- 00:00:39.722 --> 00:00:41.324
- God desires for you to be a.
- 00:00:41.324 --> 00:00:43.059
- It's a message that has already begun, entitled
- 00:00:43.059 --> 00:00:45.495
- To holy, to hinder.
- 00:00:45.495 --> 00:00:47.397
- Let's go to the word of god
- 00:00:47.397 --> 00:00:48.932
- And glean from it all that the holy spirit wants from us,
- 00:00:48.932 --> 00:00:52.502
- Built by men.
- 00:00:52.869 --> 00:00:54.137
- It has to be sustained by men,
- 00:00:54.137 --> 00:00:57.740
- And there's nothing that we can build that
- 00:00:57.740 --> 00:00:59.742
- We can sustain in our own power and in our own ability.
- 00:00:59.742 --> 00:01:03.413
- The only thing that lasts is what we do
- 00:01:03.413 --> 00:01:05.748
- For the kingdom of god.
- 00:01:05.748 --> 00:01:06.983
- That's why the money you make right now,
- 00:01:06.983 --> 00:01:08.618
- You can't take with you into eternity.
- 00:01:08.618 --> 00:01:10.320
- The car you drive right now, you can't
- 00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:12.021
- Take with you into eternity.
- 00:01:12.021 --> 00:01:13.323
- That credit card you love so much,
- 00:01:13.323 --> 00:01:15.258
- You can't take with you into eternity.
- 00:01:15.258 --> 00:01:16.993
- That townhouse, that apartment, that house you love,
- 00:01:16.993 --> 00:01:19.395
- You can't take with you into eternity.
- 00:01:19.395 --> 00:01:21.030
- Because the only thing that lasts
- 00:01:21.030 --> 00:01:22.732
- Is what you do for the kingdom of god.
- 00:01:22.732 --> 00:01:26.636
- And so you need to ask yourself the question right now.
- 00:01:27.704 --> 00:01:29.806
- You need to do some personal inventory.
- 00:01:29.806 --> 00:01:31.341
- Am i on a holy assignment?
- 00:01:31.341 --> 00:01:38.214
- Is what i have my hands on?
- 00:01:38.815 --> 00:01:40.183
- Holy.
- 00:01:40.183 --> 00:01:43.553
- Or is it being hindered?
- 00:01:44.087 --> 00:01:47.757
- Some of us are so confused right now
- 00:01:47.757 --> 00:01:49.192
- In this moment, because
- 00:01:49.192 --> 00:01:51.628
- We think god
- 00:01:51.628 --> 00:01:54.030
- Is not doing nothing.
- 00:01:54.030 --> 00:01:57.167
- And the reality is,
- 00:01:57.167 --> 00:01:59.435
- Is god is definitely doing something.
- 00:01:59.435 --> 00:02:03.106
- When the enemy can't stop what god is doing,
- 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.042
- The enemy tries to stop how you see what god is doing.
- 00:02:06.042 --> 00:02:10.580
- And so god can be moving around you,
- 00:02:11.381 --> 00:02:14.918
- And the enemy has you so distracted that you can't see
- 00:02:14.918 --> 00:02:17.120
- It. that's why scripture says, for i am doing a new thing.
- 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:23.026
- Can you not see it?
- 00:02:23.026 --> 00:02:25.361
- It's not that he's not doing something.
- 00:02:25.361 --> 00:02:27.830
- It's that the enemy had you so distracted that you can't see
- 00:02:27.830 --> 00:02:30.800
- The new thing that god is doing.
- 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.138
- Come on.
- 00:02:35.405 --> 00:02:36.306
- So point number one is this.
- 00:02:36.306 --> 00:02:38.341
- As we move through the text,
- 00:02:38.341 --> 00:02:40.877
- If god authored it, demons
- 00:02:40.877 --> 00:02:43.346
- Can't edit it.
- 00:02:43.346 --> 00:02:46.816
- That's good news for us to understand,
- 00:02:47.617 --> 00:02:49.519
- Because some of us think the enemy is controlling
- 00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:51.888
- And dictating what we see
- 00:02:51.888 --> 00:02:53.356
- And what we do and how god is moving.
- 00:02:53.356 --> 00:02:55.358
- And the reality is, is if god or the enemy can't edit it,
- 00:02:55.358 --> 00:02:58.595
- He can't change your story.
- 00:02:58.595 --> 00:03:00.230
- He can't change the outcome.
- 00:03:00.230 --> 00:03:01.764
- He can't change the output.
- 00:03:01.764 --> 00:03:03.299
- He can't change how it ends because god has already said,
- 00:03:03.299 --> 00:03:06.502
- According to his text, you are more than a conqueror.
- 00:03:06.502 --> 00:03:09.572
- You are an overcomer.
- 00:03:10.073 --> 00:03:11.474
- You are victorious.
- 00:03:11.474 --> 00:03:12.809
- You are triumphant in jesus christ.
- 00:03:12.809 --> 00:03:15.311
- And so if god said it, i have to believe it.
- 00:03:15.311 --> 00:03:18.147
- And that settles it. the enemy can't change that.
- 00:03:18.147 --> 00:03:25.755
- But he tries to keep
- 00:03:26.222 --> 00:03:27.023
- You so distracted.
- 00:03:27.023 --> 00:03:30.260
- On the minuscule
- 00:03:30.260 --> 00:03:31.094
- Things of this world.
- 00:03:31.094 --> 00:03:34.330
- That your focus is on
- 00:03:34.831 --> 00:03:35.832
- What has not happened.
- 00:03:35.832 --> 00:03:39.302
- Rather than on what god has already done.
- 00:03:39.302 --> 00:03:42.639
- So if it's built off of you,
- 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:44.674
- It will not last.
- 00:03:44.674 --> 00:03:47.744
- But if god authored it,
- 00:03:48.244 --> 00:03:51.514
- Then demons can't edit it.
- 00:03:51.514 --> 00:03:55.018
- The devil doesn't fear your gifts.
- 00:03:55.785 --> 00:03:58.888
- He fears god's fingerprint
- 00:03:59.455 --> 00:04:00.857
- On your life.
- 00:04:00.857 --> 00:04:04.360
- Some of us are so prideful
- 00:04:04.927 --> 00:04:06.162
- And arogant that we think we can live life without jesus.
- 00:04:06.162 --> 00:04:09.599
- We think we authored it.
- 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:11.634
- I don't need him.
- 00:04:11.634 --> 00:04:14.370
- I'm a made man.
- 00:04:14.370 --> 00:04:15.271
- I'm a made woman.
- 00:04:15.271 --> 00:04:16.539
- I did this by myself.
- 00:04:16.539 --> 00:04:20.310
- I want to see how that works out
- 00:04:20.943 --> 00:04:22.111
- At the seat of judgment.
- 00:04:22.111 --> 00:04:25.815
- I want to see what the outcome
- 00:04:26.416 --> 00:04:28.551
- Of that made man in that made woman conversation is.
- 00:04:28.551 --> 00:04:31.854
- When jesus says, depart from me. i know you not.
- 00:04:31.854 --> 00:04:34.891
- You're not a made man.
- 00:04:35.358 --> 00:04:36.592
- You're not a made woman.
- 00:04:36.592 --> 00:04:38.061
- You are a son and a daughter of god.
- 00:04:38.061 --> 00:04:40.096
- When you return back to the heart of the father
- 00:04:40.096 --> 00:04:42.198
- Through the gift of repentance
- 00:04:42.198 --> 00:04:43.366
- Given to us through his son jesus christ.
- 00:04:43.366 --> 00:04:50.073
- You don't scare
- 00:04:50.440 --> 00:04:51.140
- Hell with your opinion.
- 00:04:51.140 --> 00:04:54.877
- You scare hell with your reflection
- 00:04:55.611 --> 00:04:57.180
- Of jesus christ.
- 00:04:57.180 --> 00:05:02.352
- The devil doesn't feel your gift.
- 00:05:03.086 --> 00:05:05.822
- He feels god's fingerprint on your life.
- 00:05:05.822 --> 00:05:09.759
- But we have to understand, according to this text,
- 00:05:10.760 --> 00:05:13.930
- What starts in gods breath
- 00:05:13.930 --> 00:05:17.700
- Cannot be killed by man's breath.
- 00:05:18.434 --> 00:05:23.039
- It says.
- 00:05:23.306 --> 00:05:26.309
- There were two other men
- 00:05:26.309 --> 00:05:28.611
- That had movements,
- 00:05:28.611 --> 00:05:31.514
- Maybe great movements.
- 00:05:31.514 --> 00:05:34.550
- And when they died,
- 00:05:34.550 --> 00:05:36.853
- So did their movements.
- 00:05:36.853 --> 00:05:42.325
- There have been other gods
- 00:05:42.892 --> 00:05:45.628
- That have been mentioned and believed in,
- 00:05:45.628 --> 00:05:48.564
- But only one alive.
- 00:05:48.564 --> 00:05:51.834
- There have been other gods that may even have good principle,
- 00:05:53.035 --> 00:05:57.173
- But only one alive.
- 00:05:57.640 --> 00:06:01.277
- And that's why
- 00:06:01.611 --> 00:06:03.112
- No other belief system can say
- 00:06:03.112 --> 00:06:07.617
- That they've been healed
- 00:06:08.151 --> 00:06:10.420
- By their god.
- 00:06:10.420 --> 00:06:13.923
- They've been delivered by their god
- 00:06:13.923 --> 00:06:17.326
- Because their god is not alive.
- 00:06:17.326 --> 00:06:20.396
- How do we know that?
- 00:06:20.863 --> 00:06:22.632
- Because they're still buried in a grave.
- 00:06:22.632 --> 00:06:26.669
- There is no evidence that has ever shown that alive.
- 00:06:26.669 --> 00:06:31.007
- Muhammad have escaped the caskets that they were put in.
- 00:06:31.007 --> 00:06:34.610
- There is no evidence that has declared.
- 00:06:34.610 --> 00:06:36.646
- Buddha is no longer buried.
- 00:06:36.646 --> 00:06:38.347
- There is no evidence that harry krishna is alive and well.
- 00:06:38.347 --> 00:06:41.451
- But there is evidence
- 00:06:41.451 --> 00:06:42.819
- That the tomb
- 00:06:42.819 --> 00:06:43.920
- That jesus was placed in is still empty to this day,
- 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.390
- Because there is only one savior that is alive and well,
- 00:06:47.390 --> 00:06:51.160
- And one movement that remains unmovable and unshakable.
- 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.864
- And it belongs to jesus christ.
- 00:06:54.864 --> 00:06:58.434
- And so if it is started by man, it will die.
- 00:06:59.335 --> 00:07:01.404
- But if it is started by god, it cannot be overthrown.
- 00:07:01.404 --> 00:07:04.974
- In verse 34, gamaliel orders the apostles to be taken outside
- 00:07:06.142 --> 00:07:09.579
- While the council debates their fate.
- 00:07:09.579 --> 00:07:11.214
- That detail feels very small,
- 00:07:11.214 --> 00:07:13.049
- But it is culturally and symbolically relevant
- 00:07:13.049 --> 00:07:16.519
- In a jewish courtroom structure, removing someone
- 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:18.955
- From the chamber meant removing their influence.
- 00:07:18.955 --> 00:07:22.558
- You take the accused out
- 00:07:23.092 --> 00:07:25.161
- So that the powerful can speak freely.
- 00:07:25.161 --> 00:07:28.431
- But here's the revelation that
- 00:07:29.031 --> 00:07:31.701
- They weren't present.
- 00:07:31.701 --> 00:07:33.736
- Yet their influence was still overpowering.
- 00:07:33.736 --> 00:07:35.872
- The conversation.
- 00:07:35.872 --> 00:07:38.174
- Their absence became their advocacy.
- 00:07:38.174 --> 00:07:41.844
- Their silence became the defense.
- 00:07:41.844 --> 00:07:45.481
- Some of you are not experiencing
- 00:07:45.481 --> 00:07:47.016
- Victory because you talk too much.
- 00:07:47.016 --> 00:07:53.222
- Y'all are too busy
- 00:07:53.656 --> 00:07:54.357
- Hopping in the chat.
- 00:07:54.357 --> 00:07:57.527
- Y'all are too busy giving people a pc in mind.
- 00:07:58.494 --> 00:08:01.364
- You want to know how you mature in christ
- 00:08:01.364 --> 00:08:03.032
- When you know you can say something, but you don't.
- 00:08:03.032 --> 00:08:06.903
- You want to know how you mature in christ
- 00:08:07.737 --> 00:08:09.472
- When you can defend yourself, but you don't.
- 00:08:09.472 --> 00:08:13.042
- You know, we want to know how you're maturing in christ
- 00:08:13.042 --> 00:08:14.911
- When your emotions flare up,
- 00:08:14.911 --> 00:08:16.612
- But you yield to the spirit of god on the inside of you,
- 00:08:16.612 --> 00:08:19.482
- And you say, i'm going to keep my mouth shut today.
- 00:08:19.482 --> 00:08:21.684
- I'm not going to say nothing.
- 00:08:21.684 --> 00:08:22.952
- God fights the battle for me.
- 00:08:22.952 --> 00:08:24.921
- And if god goes before me,
- 00:08:24.921 --> 00:08:26.422
- I'm not worried about what's coming behind me
- 00:08:26.422 --> 00:08:28.457
- Or who's beside me to my left and to my right.
- 00:08:28.457 --> 00:08:30.760
- Because i know where my help comes from.
- 00:08:30.760 --> 00:08:33.229
- My help comes from the lord.
- 00:08:33.229 --> 00:08:34.897
- I don't even have to defend myself
- 00:08:34.897 --> 00:08:36.265
- Because he defends me.
- 00:08:36.265 --> 00:08:37.266
- He goes before me.
- 00:08:37.266 --> 00:08:38.134
- He goes behind me. he goes beside me.
- 00:08:38.134 --> 00:08:39.835
- And if he is for me, who or what can stand?
- 00:08:39.835 --> 00:08:43.706
- But some of us ain't
- 00:08:44.173 --> 00:08:45.174
- There because we talk too much.
- 00:08:45.174 --> 00:08:48.377
- Too emotional.
- 00:08:48.377 --> 00:08:50.913
- God made me this way.
- 00:08:50.913 --> 00:08:54.383
- I'm. i'm just born like this.
- 00:08:55.017 --> 00:08:57.153
- Pastor.
- 00:08:57.153 --> 00:08:57.954
- Aren't you born again?
- 00:08:57.954 --> 00:09:04.427
- Don't.
- 00:09:04.627 --> 00:09:05.461
- Don't you have the mind of christ?
- 00:09:05.461 --> 00:09:07.096
- Don't you have the spirit of the living god
- 00:09:07.096 --> 00:09:08.931
- At work on the inside of you?
- 00:09:08.931 --> 00:09:10.733
- I feel god right now.
- 00:09:10.733 --> 00:09:11.968
- Don't you are.
- 00:09:11.968 --> 00:09:13.102
- Aren't you yielded to the power of the holy spirit?
- 00:09:13.102 --> 00:09:15.771
- You're not led by your emotions.
- 00:09:15.771 --> 00:09:17.840
- Yes, you have emotions, but you're not led by them.
- 00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:32.622
- You will never hear me.
- 00:09:33.122 --> 00:09:35.825
- You will never
- 00:09:35.825 --> 00:09:37.827
- Experience god's best when you've already determined
- 00:09:37.827 --> 00:09:41.631
- What you want him to say.
- 00:09:41.631 --> 00:09:47.203
- It says they were put out.
- 00:09:47.770 --> 00:09:51.140
- The influence continued to overshadow
- 00:09:51.941 --> 00:09:53.809
- The conversation happening inside of the chamber.
- 00:09:53.809 --> 00:09:57.313
- There was silence.
- 00:09:57.747 --> 00:09:59.548
- They didn't try to force a conve
- 00:09:59.548 --> 00:10:05.154
- Or defend their name.
- 00:10:05.655 --> 00:10:08.557
- You better be real careful of a leader that's more
- 00:10:08.557 --> 00:10:11.060
- Focused on defending their name
- 00:10:11.060 --> 00:10:14.630
- And lifting up the name of jesus.
- 00:10:14.630 --> 00:10:20.770
- It says they operated in silence,
- 00:10:21.537 --> 00:10:24.106
- But the message they believed in could not be silenced.
- 00:10:24.106 --> 00:10:27.476
- Their separation became the protection.
- 00:10:28.277 --> 00:10:31.614
- And in that moment,
- 00:10:32.081 --> 00:10:34.350
- The council wasn't debating the apostles.
- 00:10:34.350 --> 00:10:37.687
- They were unknowingly arguing
- 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:40.056
- With god.
- 00:10:40.056 --> 00:10:44.760
- Let's move
- 00:10:45.061 --> 00:10:45.695
- Quickly through the text.
- 00:10:45.695 --> 00:10:48.731
- Number two, people follow personalities,
- 00:10:48.731 --> 00:10:52.435
- But disciples follow the presence of god.
- 00:10:52.435 --> 00:10:56.238
- See, some of you may choose your church off of who preaches.
- 00:10:57.406 --> 00:11:00.943
- Instead of choosing your church offer, it's a spirit of god.
- 00:11:00.943 --> 00:11:03.112
- There,
- 00:11:03.112 --> 00:11:04.847
- Some of you choose your churches off
- 00:11:04.847 --> 00:11:06.015
- Of what they sing and praise and worship.
- 00:11:06.015 --> 00:11:08.050
- But you need to be choosing your church.
- 00:11:08.050 --> 00:11:09.285
- It's a spirit of god there because of the spirit of god.
- 00:11:09.285 --> 00:11:12.488
- It doesn't matter who preaches.
- 00:11:12.488 --> 00:11:13.689
- I know the word is still go cut.
- 00:11:13.689 --> 00:11:15.191
- It doesn't matter who sings.
- 00:11:15.191 --> 00:11:16.325
- I know
- 00:11:16.325 --> 00:11:16.959
- The worship is still going
- 00:11:16.959 --> 00:11:17.960
- To be saturated by the power of an almighty god.
- 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.830
- Don't choose who you listen to by their personality.
- 00:11:20.830 --> 00:11:24.166
- Choose who you listen to by
- 00:11:24.166 --> 00:11:25.601
- If they carry the presence of god or not.
- 00:11:25.601 --> 00:11:28.804
- And my question is, do you carry the presence of god?
- 00:11:28.804 --> 00:11:33.909
- You carry his presence.
- 00:11:34.410 --> 00:11:39.915
- Moses said, god,
- 00:11:37.213 --> 00:11:42.418
- I would rather have your presence
- 00:11:42.418 --> 00:11:45.387
- Over the promise.
- 00:11:45.387 --> 00:11:47.523
- See, some of you would choose the promise of his presence
- 00:11:47.523 --> 00:11:49.492
- Because you want what you can see.
- 00:11:49.492 --> 00:11:51.660
- You don't want what he said.
- 00:11:51.660 --> 00:11:53.295
- You want tangible.
- 00:11:53.295 --> 00:11:54.330
- You want possession.
- 00:11:54.330 --> 00:11:55.331
- You want things instead of the presence of god.
- 00:11:55.331 --> 00:11:57.700
- Moses said, i would rather
- 00:11:57.700 --> 00:11:58.901
- Have your presence
- 00:11:58.901 --> 00:12:00.169
- Over the promise and i wonder if i█m talking to a people right
- 00:12:00.169 --> 00:12:03.272
- Now? they said, god, you can keep the promises.
- 00:12:03.272 --> 00:12:05.741
- You can keep the land.
- 00:12:05.741 --> 00:12:07.176
- You can keep the thing as long as i do.
- 00:12:07.176 --> 00:12:10.346
- Until everything is going to be alright.
- 00:12:10.346 --> 00:12:18.220
- I don't need the stuff, i don't.
- 00:12:18.854 --> 00:12:20.589
- I don't need the things i don't need, nor all i need is you.
- 00:12:20.589 --> 00:12:24.059
- Lord.
- 00:12:24.059 --> 00:12:39.108
- When ego leads the way.
- 00:12:39.608 --> 00:12:44.413
- Purpose
- 00:12:44.647 --> 00:12:46.549
- Suffocates in the backseat.
- 00:12:46.549 --> 00:12:50.119
- Some of you feel restrained right now
- 00:12:50.953 --> 00:12:54.256
- Because you're driven by ego.
- 00:12:54.256 --> 00:12:57.760
- You're pushing. you're pushing.
- 00:12:57.760 --> 00:12:58.928
- Your striving for striving.
- 00:12:58.928 --> 00:13:00.029
- You're trying to make it happen and trying to.
- 00:13:00.029 --> 00:13:01.730
- You're trying to work it out.
- 00:13:01.730 --> 00:13:02.965
- And the reality is, you can't work it out in your own power.
- 00:13:02.965 --> 00:13:07.536
- The apostles didn't try to defend themselves.
- 00:13:08.437 --> 00:13:10.239
- They didn't.
- 00:13:10.239 --> 00:13:13.309
- Grab a sword and shield and say, you know what?
- 00:13:14.210 --> 00:13:16.178
- It's time to fight.
- 00:13:16.178 --> 00:13:16.912
- No, no.
- 00:13:16.912 --> 00:13:17.279
- They stood
- 00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:18.414
- Faithful to what they knew god had called them to do.
- 00:13:18.414 --> 00:13:20.883
- And they understand this movement.
- 00:13:21.617 --> 00:13:23.152
- It's not built up our personalities, this movement.
- 00:13:23.152 --> 00:13:25.287
- It's built off the presence of the holy spirit.
- 00:13:25.287 --> 00:13:29.825
- Point number three
- 00:13:30.259 --> 00:13:31.327
- Is this the gospel doesn't just survive opposition.
- 00:13:31.327 --> 00:13:34.864
- It feeds on it.
- 00:13:35.264 --> 00:13:39.168
- Pressure
- 00:13:39.401 --> 00:13:41.070
- Is the megaphone heaven uses
- 00:13:41.070 --> 00:13:43.939
- To amplify a believer's faith.
- 00:13:43.939 --> 00:13:47.276
- And some of you are running from it.
- 00:13:47.276 --> 00:13:50.145
- Some of us are running from the very places
- 00:13:50.145 --> 00:13:52.615
- God desires to show up in a miraculous way.
- 00:13:52.615 --> 00:13:55.885
- Because we don't like pressure.
- 00:13:56.518 --> 00:13:57.753
- We don't like pain.
- 00:13:57.753 --> 00:13:58.654
- We don't like discomfort.
- 00:13:58.654 --> 00:13:59.622
- We we like the convenience
- 00:13:59.622 --> 00:14:01.390
- And we like the comfort, and we like all the extremities
- 00:14:01.390 --> 00:14:04.627
- Of this life.
- 00:14:04.627 --> 00:14:05.728
- But the reality is, is if you are a follower of jesus,
- 00:14:05.728 --> 00:14:07.863
- You're going to experience pressure
- 00:14:07.863 --> 00:14:09.465
- Because the enemy hates you.
- 00:14:09.465 --> 00:14:11.033
- Don't run from the pressure.
- 00:14:11.033 --> 00:14:12.501
- Lean into the pressure
- 00:14:12.501 --> 00:14:13.836
- And you will see
- 00:14:13.836 --> 00:14:15.037
- What god does in the midst of what it is that he called you
- 00:14:15.037 --> 00:14:17.773
- To go through.
- 00:14:17.773 --> 00:14:18.674
- Yet, though i walk through the valley
- 00:14:18.674 --> 00:14:20.276
- Of the shadow of death, i will fear no evil. why?
- 00:14:20.276 --> 00:14:23.412
- Because thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
- 00:14:23.412 --> 00:14:25.948
- I'm not afraid of no demon i shore
- 00:14:25.948 --> 00:14:28.450
- Ain█t afraid of you.
- 00:14:28.450 --> 00:14:29.451
- The only person i fear is god.
- 00:14:29.451 --> 00:14:31.654
- Because if god before me.
- 00:14:31.654 --> 00:14:33.622
- Who or what can stand against me?
- 00:14:33.622 --> 00:14:44.867
- Here's the reality.
- 00:14:45.334 --> 00:14:46.302
- When that is, when that is your narrative.
- 00:14:46.302 --> 00:14:51.240
- That is your life and that is your testimony.
- 00:14:52.207 --> 00:14:55.077
- You may be able to hurt a believer,
- 00:14:55.077 --> 00:14:57.680
- But if you hurt a believer, the gospel leaks out of their wounds
- 00:14:57.680 --> 00:15:04.653
- Weapons can be turned in your direction.
- 00:15:05.521 --> 00:15:07.356
- But they won't prosper.
- 00:15:07.356 --> 00:15:08.257
- It doesn't say that they won't be shot.
- 00:15:08.257 --> 00:15:09.858
- It doesn't say that they won't graze.
- 00:15:09.858 --> 00:15:11.226
- You doesn't say that you won't get nicked.
- 00:15:11.226 --> 00:15:12.761
- But guess what? the gospel leaks out of your wounds.
- 00:15:12.761 --> 00:15:15.364
- The word of god leaks out of you.
- 00:15:15.364 --> 00:15:16.932
- It leaks out of your pores.
- 00:15:16.932 --> 00:15:18.133
- You remind yourself i'm a son and i'm victorious.
- 00:15:18.133 --> 00:15:21.070
- I am more than an overcomer.
- 00:15:21.070 --> 00:15:22.638
- I will live and not die
- 00:15:22.638 --> 00:15:23.973
- To declare the mighty works of the lord.
- 00:15:23.973 --> 00:15:25.908
- I ain't afraid of no demon.
- 00:15:25.908 --> 00:15:27.710
- I ain't afraid of no devil.
- 00:15:27.710 --> 00:15:29.411
- I'm not afraid of the arrows and the swords and the dark.
- 00:15:29.411 --> 00:15:32.514
- I'm not scared of no enemy.
- 00:15:32.514 --> 00:15:34.483
- The only person i fear is god.
- 00:15:34.483 --> 00:15:39.455
- You know
- 00:15:39.688 --> 00:15:40.356
- Why some of you are scared.
- 00:15:40.356 --> 00:15:43.826
- Some of you are scared because you made your own identity.
- 00:15:43.826 --> 00:15:47.262
- And you're so concerned about what people think about you and.
- 00:15:47.262 --> 00:15:49.832
- And how they're going to view you,
- 00:15:49.832 --> 00:15:51.066
- And they're going to think you're crazy
- 00:15:51.066 --> 00:15:52.668
- And they're going to call you one of those extremists.
- 00:15:52.668 --> 00:15:55.671
- And and,
- 00:15:55.671 --> 00:15:56.538
- Oh, here's one of those jesus freaks,
- 00:15:56.538 --> 00:15:58.307
- And she's one of those jesus freaks.
- 00:15:58.307 --> 00:15:59.875
- Who cares what people thinks about you?
- 00:15:59.875 --> 00:16:02.111
- Who cares what people says about you?
- 00:16:02.111 --> 00:16:04.613
- If they didn't, the word of god say for me, in my house
- 00:16:04.613 --> 00:16:07.816
- We will serve the lord.
- 00:16:07.816 --> 00:16:13.856
- If it cost you everything, will you still serve him?
- 00:16:14.923 --> 00:16:17.426
- If you call to some friends when you still serve him,
- 00:16:17.426 --> 00:16:19.928
- If you can't see somebody when you're still serving,
- 00:16:19.928 --> 00:16:22.264
- If you don't see some opportunit wold you still serve him.
- 00:16:22.264 --> 00:16:31.473
- What we failed to realize.
- 00:16:32.041 --> 00:16:35.577
- Is that the word of god
- 00:16:35.577 --> 00:16:38.313
- Has never been advanced
- 00:16:38.313 --> 00:16:39.648
- Through comfort.
- 00:16:39.648 --> 00:16:42.518
- This the sacred texts,
- 00:16:42.518 --> 00:16:45.921
- This holy scripture,
- 00:16:46.388 --> 00:16:48.824
- The true and living word of god.
- 00:16:48.824 --> 00:16:51.226
- It is alive
- 00:16:51.226 --> 00:16:52.361
- And well because people carried it with conviction,
- 00:16:52.361 --> 00:16:55.964
- And they laid their lives on the line
- 00:16:55.964 --> 00:16:58.000
- So that we could know
- 00:16:58.000 --> 00:16:59.268
- Who the true and living god is through the word of god.
- 00:16:59.268 --> 00:17:02.371
- And here we are playing church,
- 00:17:02.371 --> 00:17:11.914
- Making decisions around
- 00:17:12.414 --> 00:17:13.782
- Brunch and lunch and a football game.
- 00:17:13.782 --> 00:17:22.424
- People in nigeria are being killed
- 00:17:23.192 --> 00:17:25.027
- For confessing that they are christians.
- 00:17:25.027 --> 00:17:29.098
- What have we become?
- 00:17:29.565 --> 00:17:33.368
- Getting their heads chopped off
- 00:17:34.002 --> 00:17:35.704
- For declaring the mighty name of jesus christ.
- 00:17:35.704 --> 00:17:38.540
- And we're sitting here determining
- 00:17:38.540 --> 00:17:40.142
- If we're going to go to church based on if
- 00:17:40.142 --> 00:17:42.177
- The jags are playing today.
- 00:17:42.177 --> 00:17:51.753
- It is pressure.
- 00:17:52.121 --> 00:17:54.523
- That is the megaphone heaven uses
- 00:17:54.523 --> 00:17:58.160
- To amplify a believer's faith.
- 00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:01.597
- Do you know what persecution does?
- 00:18:02.364 --> 00:18:04.700
- Persecution exposes what is fake
- 00:18:04.700 --> 00:18:08.804
- And what has been purified
- 00:18:09.371 --> 00:18:14.977
- That's what persecution does.
- 00:18:15.611 --> 00:18:16.879
- Persecution exposes you.
- 00:18:16.879 --> 00:18:20.115
- What do you do when you get persecuted?
- 00:18:20.916 --> 00:18:24.119
- What do you do when you get uncomfortable?
- 00:18:24.987 --> 00:18:26.455
- What do you.
- 00:18:26.455 --> 00:18:26.855
- What do you do
- 00:18:26.855 --> 00:18:27.956
- When you put out of the chamber and people are talking
- 00:18:27.956 --> 00:18:30.592
- About you?
- 00:18:30.592 --> 00:18:31.226
- What what what do you do?
- 00:18:31.226 --> 00:18:33.962
- You self tweet.
- 00:18:33.962 --> 00:18:36.765
- Get passive aggressive.
- 00:18:36.765 --> 00:18:40.102
- Post innuendos.
- 00:18:40.102 --> 00:18:43.672
- Get petty.
- 00:18:43.972 --> 00:18:46.575
- But do you stand on the word of god?
- 00:18:46.575 --> 00:18:53.415
- Because this word says
- 00:18:53.882 --> 00:18:56.685
- The name of the lord
- 00:18:56.685 --> 00:19:00.255
- Is a strong tower.
- 00:19:00.689 --> 00:19:04.493
- Do you know what happens at the top of a tower?
- 00:19:05.427 --> 00:19:07.930
- You get an advantage in your perspective
- 00:19:07.930 --> 00:19:10.832
- That people on the ground level don't have.
- 00:19:10.832 --> 00:19:13.602
- So what it means is, when you call in the name of the lord,
- 00:19:13.602 --> 00:19:16.838
- He pulls you higher.
- 00:19:16.838 --> 00:19:18.373
- He pulls you closer to him.
- 00:19:18.373 --> 00:19:19.942
- He gives you a perspective that you can't have on this level.
- 00:19:19.942 --> 00:19:22.644
- He's calling you up.
- 00:19:22.644 --> 00:19:23.812
- And every elevation requires separation.
- 00:19:23.812 --> 00:19:26.548
- And some of us don't want to be separated
- 00:19:26.548 --> 00:19:28.483
- Because we like the little crew that we went.
- 00:19:28.483 --> 00:19:37.226
- Maybe it's time for you
- 00:19:37.726 --> 00:19:40.262
- To separate yourself
- 00:19:40.262 --> 00:19:42.164
- So that you can be connected at a greater level
- 00:19:42.164 --> 00:19:45.033
- To the presence of the holy spirit.
- 00:19:45.033 --> 00:19:51.073
- Let me give you one more
- 00:19:51.607 --> 00:19:53.942
- And then we gonna
- 00:19:53.942 --> 00:19:54.409
- Get out of here.
- 00:19:54.409 --> 00:19:57.813
- Can't do that because people like to leave early.
- 00:19:58.814 --> 00:20:01.316
- They they like to walk out when we say it's offering time.
- 00:20:01.316 --> 00:20:06.188
- They like to rush for the doors.
- 00:20:06.188 --> 00:20:17.666
- Number four.
- 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.002
- Hail fears
- 00:20:20.302 --> 00:20:21.970
- The believer who can be wounded
- 00:20:21.970 --> 00:20:25.007
- And still walk in purpose.
- 00:20:25.574 --> 00:20:33.081
- Let me show you what the text says.
- 00:20:33.815 --> 00:20:36.885
- Verse 39.
- 00:20:36.885 --> 00:20:39.721
- But if the source is god,
- 00:20:39.721 --> 00:20:41.790
- You will not be able to overthrow them,
- 00:20:41.790 --> 00:20:43.992
- Or else you may be even found fighting against god.
- 00:20:43.992 --> 00:20:47.562
- They follow his advice, and after calling the apostles
- 00:20:47.562 --> 00:20:50.666
- In, they flogged them.
- 00:20:50.666 --> 00:20:55.437
- They flogged them.
- 00:20:55.871 --> 00:20:57.105
- Now, now, this ain't no spanking.
- 00:20:57.105 --> 00:21:02.844
- This is roman torture.
- 00:21:03.345 --> 00:21:07.482
- A flogging
- 00:21:07.783 --> 00:21:08.817
- In this time period means that all four limbs
- 00:21:08.817 --> 00:21:12.654
- Were stretched wide.
- 00:21:12.654 --> 00:21:16.391
- And you were given
- 00:21:16.825 --> 00:21:18.527
- 39 lashes.
- 00:21:18.527 --> 00:21:22.097
- The reason it was 39 is because 40
- 00:21:22.864 --> 00:21:25.767
- Was illegal according to hebrew law.
- 00:21:25.767 --> 00:21:29.538
- So they would take them right to the brink
- 00:21:30.439 --> 00:21:33.642
- Of being illegal.
- 00:21:34.076 --> 00:21:38.213
- To try to break them.
- 00:21:38.714 --> 00:21:40.048
- To try to get them to stop doing what they were doing.
- 00:21:40.048 --> 00:21:43.018
- In deuteronomy chapter 25 verse three, it teaches us that
- 00:21:43.018 --> 00:21:46.388
- The max discipline for flogging was 40 lashes,
- 00:21:46.388 --> 00:21:50.359
- And so the pharisees reduced it to 39
- 00:21:51.159 --> 00:21:53.195
- To avoid accidental violation.
- 00:21:53.195 --> 00:21:55.397
- This wasn't a slap on the wrist.
- 00:21:55.397 --> 00:21:56.865
- This was flesh torn off their bones.
- 00:21:56.865 --> 00:21:58.900
- This wasn't just a couple of scratches.
- 00:21:58.900 --> 00:22:00.469
- This was permanent scarring.
- 00:22:00.469 --> 00:22:02.104
- This wasn't just something that people watched
- 00:22:02.104 --> 00:22:04.005
- And they laughed at and they grinned.
- 00:22:04.005 --> 00:22:05.741
- This was something that people would turn away from
- 00:22:05.741 --> 00:22:07.909
- Because of how gruesome it was.
- 00:22:07.909 --> 00:22:09.411
- But the disciples made up in their mind.
- 00:22:09.411 --> 00:22:11.580
- Even if we get flogged,
- 00:22:11.580 --> 00:22:13.048
- It won't stop the advancement of the gospel of jesus christ.
- 00:22:13.048 --> 00:22:16.017
- Even if we get tortured.
- 00:22:16.017 --> 00:22:17.386
- It won't silence us, even if they try to shut us up.
- 00:22:17.386 --> 00:22:20.389
- They won't be able to shut us up
- 00:22:20.389 --> 00:22:21.823
- Because we know who is our source.
- 00:22:21.823 --> 00:22:26.395
- Know who our source is.
- 00:22:26.895 --> 00:22:31.166
- So you know.
- 00:22:31.500 --> 00:22:34.236
- Your survival.
- 00:22:34.236 --> 00:22:37.439
- Is a setback
- 00:22:37.773 --> 00:22:39.941
- For satan.
- 00:22:39.941 --> 00:22:42.811
- The fact that you're still here
- 00:22:42.811 --> 00:22:43.879
- Is a setback for the plan of the enemy.
- 00:22:43.879 --> 00:22:47.516
- The fact that you are
- 00:22:48.016 --> 00:22:49.751
- Still in the house of the lord.
- 00:22:49.751 --> 00:22:52.888
- You still mustered up
- 00:22:53.388 --> 00:22:54.623
- Enough faith to believe that he is still able to do exceeding
- 00:22:54.623 --> 00:22:57.659
- And abundantly and above all that we could ask.
- 00:22:57.659 --> 00:23:00.462
- It is a great setback
- 00:23:00.462 --> 00:23:02.564
- To satan, and
- 00:23:02.564 --> 00:23:04.399
- He hates you
- 00:23:04.399 --> 00:23:06.635
- And he can't stand you
- 00:23:06.635 --> 00:23:10.739
- Because you are living, walking,
- 00:23:11.373 --> 00:23:12.741
- Moving, breathing, testimony
- 00:23:12.741 --> 00:23:15.744
- That the same power that raised jesus from
- 00:23:15.744 --> 00:23:17.846
- The dead is at work on the inside of you.
- 00:23:17.846 --> 00:23:21.149
- And i wonder,
- 00:23:21.149 --> 00:23:22.083
- Is there anybody listening to me right now
- 00:23:22.083 --> 00:23:23.351
- That understands, can acknowledge, can testify
- 00:23:23.351 --> 00:23:26.087
- That there's wonder working power on the inside of you?
- 00:23:26.087 --> 00:23:28.990
- You don't know how you came out. you just know you came out.
- 00:23:28.990 --> 00:23:31.660
- You don't know how you got heal. you just know you're healed.
- 00:23:31.660 --> 00:23:33.995
- You don't know how you got delivered.
- 00:23:33.995 --> 00:23:35.363
- You just know you've been delivered.
- 00:23:35.363 --> 00:23:36.698
- You don't know how you got set free.
- 00:23:36.698 --> 00:23:38.433
- You just know you've been set free.
- 00:23:38.433 --> 00:23:40.235
- You don't know when the chains broke.
- 00:23:40.235 --> 00:23:42.170
- But you know the chains have been broken off.
- 00:23:42.170 --> 00:23:51.913
- And so
- 00:23:52.113 --> 00:23:53.682
- The enemy, he may celebrate your pain.
- 00:23:53.682 --> 00:23:57.686
- Until he realizes
- 00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:00.222
- You prayed through it.
- 00:24:00.222 --> 00:24:03.792
- You worship through it. you.
- 00:24:03.792 --> 00:24:05.227
- You praise through it. you.
- 00:24:05.227 --> 00:24:06.862
- You may have cried.
- 00:24:06.862 --> 00:24:07.963
- You, you,
- 00:24:07.963 --> 00:24:08.530
- You may ask god work,
- 00:24:08.530 --> 00:24:09.865
- But you continue to lift your hand and say, god, get me still.
- 00:24:09.865 --> 00:24:13.468
- I will bless your holy name.
- 00:24:13.468 --> 00:24:15.337
- I believe that you're good when my season and circumstance it.
- 00:24:15.337 --> 00:24:18.907
- But yet still i will bless your holy name.
- 00:24:18.907 --> 00:24:23.311
- Why why why.
- 00:24:23.645 --> 00:24:25.313
- Why would you do something so crazy?
- 00:24:25.313 --> 00:24:26.915
- Why would you do something so wild?
- 00:24:26.915 --> 00:24:28.483
- Why would you do something so out of the box?
- 00:24:28.483 --> 00:24:30.318
- Because what you are stewarding is too holy to be hindered.
- 00:24:30.318 --> 00:24:37.559
- The old testament
- 00:24:37.993 --> 00:24:39.995
- And the great prophet said, it's like fire.
- 00:24:39.995 --> 00:24:47.102
- Shut up
- 00:24:47.335 --> 00:24:49.204
- In my bones.
- 00:24:49.538 --> 00:24:53.008
- My flesh may be weak, but it's like fire.
- 00:24:53.008 --> 00:24:56.244
- Shut up in my bones.
- 00:24:56.244 --> 00:24:58.079
- My mind may be wondering.
- 00:24:58.079 --> 00:24:59.481
- But it's like fire.
- 00:24:59.481 --> 00:25:00.949
- Shut up in my bones.
- 00:25:00.949 --> 00:25:02.651
- My money may be funny, but it's like fire.
- 00:25:02.651 --> 00:25:05.487
- Shut up in my bones.
- 00:25:05.487 --> 00:25:07.088
- My bills may be due. but it's like fire.
- 00:25:07.088 --> 00:25:09.758
- Shut up in my bones.
- 00:25:09.758 --> 00:25:11.293
- I know who my savior is.
- 00:25:11.293 --> 00:25:17.966
- What i'm stewarting is too holy to be hindered.
- 00:25:18.967 --> 00:25:22.103
- To hold holy.
- 00:25:22.470 --> 00:25:24.072
- To holy to the hinderd.
- 00:25:24.072 --> 00:25:26.575
- Well, family, we are out of time.
- 00:25:26.575 --> 00:25:28.543
- But we're not out of the word of god.
- 00:25:28.543 --> 00:25:30.946
- I'm glad we get a chance to go on this journey together.
- 00:25:30.946 --> 00:25:33.548
- And i'm glad we get a chance to walk
- 00:25:33.548 --> 00:25:35.116
- Through the acts of the apostles
- 00:25:35.116 --> 00:25:36.651
- And see how it applies to our daily life.
- 00:25:36.651 --> 00:25:40.589
- I and encourage you do whatever you can
- 00:25:40.589 --> 00:25:42.257
- To continue to go on this journey with us.

- If this broadcast has been a blessing to you.
- 00:25:44.626 --> 00:25:47.228
- Would you do me a favor?
- 00:25:47.228 --> 00:25:48.763
- I'm not asking you to give a specific amount.
- 00:25:48.763 --> 00:25:51.266
- I'm not telling you that you have to give.
- 00:25:51.266 --> 00:25:53.635
- What i do want to ask you is to pray.
- 00:25:53.635 --> 00:25:56.771
- Ask god would he like

- Such as yourself, to hear the gospel of jesus christ.

- Our team is going to throw some information
- 00:26:08.183 --> 00:26:09.684

- And it allows us the opportunity
- 00:26:25.066 --> 00:26:26.768
- To continue
- 00:26:26.768 --> 00:26:27.902

- I also want to end this broadcast by praying for you.
- 00:26:30.639 --> 00:26:33.775
- Setting myself in agreement with you
- 00:26:33.775 --> 00:26:35.243
- For what you may be believing god for.

- And so, right now, in jesus name, i thank you

- I don't take it for granted,
- 00:26:42.951 --> 00:26:44.052
- Lord, that they have taken out time
- 00:26:44.052 --> 00:26:46.454
- To lean into the word of god
- 00:26:46.454 --> 00:26:48.390
