- ♪♪
- 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:17.400
- Hey, friends and family, it's tim
- 00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:19.135
- Timberlake of celebration church,
- 00:00:19.135 --> 00:00:21.371
- And i'm honored that you would take up this time
- 00:00:21.371 --> 00:00:23.506
- To spend a little time with us
- 00:00:23.506 --> 00:00:25.041
- As we go through the word of god.
- 00:00:25.041 --> 00:00:27.210
- We're in this series.
- 00:00:27.210 --> 00:00:28.845
- We're walking through the book of acts,
- 00:00:28.845 --> 00:00:30.747
- Looking at the acts of the apostles.
- 00:00:30.747 --> 00:00:32.782
- And i believe today's message is going to help unleash
- 00:00:32.782 --> 00:00:36.553
- And release god's best for your life.
- 00:00:36.553 --> 00:00:39.589
- Let's go into the word as it has already begun.
- 00:00:39.589 --> 00:00:41.991
- Entitled when god brings you out
- 00:00:41.991 --> 00:00:45.495
- And some of you are
- 00:00:45.962 --> 00:00:48.932
- Shackled
- 00:00:48.932 --> 00:00:51.501
- And held hostage
- 00:00:51.501 --> 00:00:53.870
- And trapped
- 00:00:53.870 --> 00:00:55.572
- Not because you've done anything wrong,
- 00:00:55.572 --> 00:00:58.942
- But because you're actually living right.
- 00:00:58.942 --> 00:01:02.512
- You know, on the flip side of it, some of you are
- 00:01:02.512 --> 00:01:04.714
- In shackles.
- 00:01:04.714 --> 00:01:07.884
- Trapped.
- 00:01:08.118 --> 00:01:09.986
- Locked up
- 00:01:09.986 --> 00:01:12.021
- Because you are doing something wrong,
- 00:01:12.021 --> 00:01:16.593
- Scripture says filled with jealousy.
- 00:01:17.393 --> 00:01:21.898
- They arrested the apostles and they put them
- 00:01:22.832 --> 00:01:26.636
- In a public prison.
- 00:01:27.103 --> 00:01:29.806
- Point number one is this
- 00:01:29.806 --> 00:01:33.276
- Jealousy builds prisons.
- 00:01:33.276 --> 00:01:36.713
- Obedience breaks them.
- 00:01:36.713 --> 00:01:44.487
- Off jealousy puts you in the prison.
- 00:01:45.221 --> 00:01:48.324
- It is your obedience that breaks
- 00:01:48.958 --> 00:01:50.994
- Open the prison doors.
- 00:01:50.994 --> 00:01:54.130
- Why is jealousy so dangerous?
- 00:01:54.130 --> 00:01:56.966
- Because jealousy is rooted in insecurity.
- 00:01:56.966 --> 00:02:03.273
- And insecurity is dangerous
- 00:02:03.873 --> 00:02:05.575
- Because insecurity always tries to arrest what it can
- 00:02:05.575 --> 00:02:08.811
- Imitate.
- 00:02:08.811 --> 00:02:12.815
- Let me talk to those that struggle with insecurity
- 00:02:13.850 --> 00:02:15.952
- Right now.
- 00:02:15.952 --> 00:02:18.988
- Step back from the mirror
- 00:02:18.988 --> 00:02:20.323
- You're holding in front of yourself.
- 00:02:20.323 --> 00:02:23.593
- View yourself from the lens
- 00:02:23.593 --> 00:02:24.861
- And from the perspective of how jesus views you.
- 00:02:24.861 --> 00:02:28.364
- He calls you a chosen people,
- 00:02:28.998 --> 00:02:31.634
- A peculiar person.
- 00:02:31.634 --> 00:02:34.370
- He calls you the head and not the tail.
- 00:02:34.370 --> 00:02:37.440
- What makes insecurity so dangerous is
- 00:02:38.241 --> 00:02:40.577
- Insecurity is rooted in pride.
- 00:02:40.577 --> 00:02:43.613
- Why is insecurity rooted in pride?
- 00:02:44.347 --> 00:02:46.316
- Because insecurity portrays an image in your mind
- 00:02:46.316 --> 00:02:49.319
- That makes you think contrary to how god thinks about you.
- 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:52.789
- So if you think too highly of yourself,
- 00:02:52.789 --> 00:02:54.591
- You're operating in pride.
- 00:02:54.591 --> 00:02:55.658
- And when you think too
- 00:02:55.658 --> 00:02:56.659
- Lowly of yourself, you're operating in pride,
- 00:02:56.659 --> 00:02:59.662
- Both are pride.
- 00:03:00.029 --> 00:03:02.298
- And so if you feel insecure,
- 00:03:02.298 --> 00:03:05.068
- Denounce and renounce that insecurity.
- 00:03:05.068 --> 00:03:08.438
- Tell jesus you want to see yourself the way he sees you,
- 00:03:09.572 --> 00:03:12.875
- And you want to step into everything
- 00:03:13.676 --> 00:03:15.445
- He desires for you to step into according to his will
- 00:03:15.445 --> 00:03:18.948
- And according to his purpose for your life.
- 00:03:18.948 --> 00:03:20.883
- Can i get a good amen.
- 00:03:20.883 --> 00:03:23.886
- So insecurity
- 00:03:23.886 --> 00:03:25.288
- Always tries to arrest what it can't imitate.
- 00:03:25.288 --> 00:03:28.291
- The reason the sadducees
- 00:03:28.291 --> 00:03:29.993
- And this particular high priest tried to arrest them
- 00:03:29.993 --> 00:03:32.862
- Is because they could not imitate the power
- 00:03:32.862 --> 00:03:34.964
- That was at work on the inside of them.
- 00:03:34.964 --> 00:03:36.899
- And whenever you feel like the enemy
- 00:03:36.899 --> 00:03:38.901
- Is trying to arrest you or restrain you,
- 00:03:38.901 --> 00:03:40.903
- You have to remind yourself.
- 00:03:40.903 --> 00:03:42.305
- Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world.
- 00:03:42.305 --> 00:03:48.011
- We'll get there in a moment.
- 00:03:48.611 --> 00:03:49.746
- I still got a little work to do.
- 00:03:49.746 --> 00:03:51.114
- Jealousy.
- 00:03:51.114 --> 00:03:52.081
- Jail is what it secretly wishes it carries.
- 00:03:52.081 --> 00:03:55.084
- And so if there's someone jealous of you,
- 00:03:55.084 --> 00:03:57.020
- If there's an enemy jealous of you, it's simply
- 00:03:57.020 --> 00:03:59.622
- Because they secretly wish they carry what you carry.
- 00:03:59.622 --> 00:04:02.825
- It's because they secretly wish they had what you had.
- 00:04:03.860 --> 00:04:07.630
- I have never in my life found someone that was jealous of me,
- 00:04:07.630 --> 00:04:11.601
- That was doing more than i was for jesus christ.
- 00:04:11.601 --> 00:04:15.638
- And so if they're talking about you, let them talk. or.
- 00:04:16.773 --> 00:04:24.113
- They gossiping about you.
- 00:04:24.681 --> 00:04:25.882
- Let them gossip.
- 00:04:25.882 --> 00:04:28.351
- We're too busy to entertain them
- 00:04:28.351 --> 00:04:29.852
- Because we're gossiping about jesus.
- 00:04:29.852 --> 00:04:32.922
- When you hear people gossiping about you,
- 00:04:33.790 --> 00:04:35.525
- You gossip about jesus.
- 00:04:35.525 --> 00:04:36.893
- Let me tell you what he did for me last week.
- 00:04:36.893 --> 00:04:39.462
- Let me tell you how he bought me out.
- 00:04:39.462 --> 00:04:41.230
- Let me tell you how to heal my body.
- 00:04:41.230 --> 00:04:43.132
- Let me tell you how he changed my mind.
- 00:04:43.132 --> 00:04:45.068
- Let me tell you how he tells my kids.
- 00:04:45.068 --> 00:04:47.203
- Let me tell you how it changed my destiny.
- 00:04:47.203 --> 00:04:49.205
- Whenever somebody gossips about you, you gossip about jesus.
- 00:04:49.205 --> 00:04:53.009
- Let me tell you how he healed me.
- 00:04:53.009 --> 00:04:54.777
- How he stored me. i saved me.
- 00:04:54.777 --> 00:04:57.413
- I set me free.
- 00:04:57.413 --> 00:04:58.881
- I redeemed me, i renewed me.
- 00:04:58.881 --> 00:05:00.717
- Let me tell you a little bit about my god.
- 00:05:00.717 --> 00:05:03.786
- Oh, wow.
- 00:05:04.053 --> 00:05:04.754
- Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
- 00:05:04.754 --> 00:05:11.961
- And it's not until you realize
- 00:05:12.562 --> 00:05:15.031
- Who you are.
- 00:05:15.031 --> 00:05:18.301
- That you stop tolerating
- 00:05:18.301 --> 00:05:20.803
- What the enemy presents.
- 00:05:20.803 --> 00:05:24.173
- See, some of us don't realize who we are.
- 00:05:25.074 --> 00:05:28.244
- So we stay trapped.
- 00:05:28.711 --> 00:05:30.046
- We stay locked up. we stay in shackle.
- 00:05:30.046 --> 00:05:32.648
- We stay in chains.
- 00:05:32.648 --> 00:05:33.716
- It does not say that the apostles panicked.
- 00:05:33.716 --> 00:05:38.688
- It doesn't say that
- 00:05:39.155 --> 00:05:39.889
- The apostle stressed.
- 00:05:39.889 --> 00:05:43.192
- It doesn't say that the apostles feared it.
- 00:05:43.192 --> 00:05:46.462
- Said they were in their cell.
- 00:05:46.462 --> 00:05:56.472
- And look at what happened.
- 00:05:57.039 --> 00:05:59.909
- It says an angel of the lord.
- 00:05:59.909 --> 00:06:03.780
- It appeared to them.
- 00:06:04.247 --> 00:06:07.283
- And opened the cell.
- 00:06:07.750 --> 00:06:14.824
- It didn't say that the guards opened the cell.
- 00:06:15.792 --> 00:06:18.661
- It doesn't even say that
- 00:06:18.661 --> 00:06:19.896
- The guards noticed or understood or realized what had happened.
- 00:06:19.896 --> 00:06:23.266
- As a matter of fact, as we continue to work
- 00:06:23.266 --> 00:06:25.101
- Through the text, you'll see that the prison
- 00:06:25.101 --> 00:06:26.602
- Guards are still in the same place
- 00:06:26.602 --> 00:06:29.038
- That they were before the angel of the lord appeared.
- 00:06:29.038 --> 00:06:32.842
- Before you push me, g.
- 00:06:33.309 --> 00:06:34.377
- Let me preach.
- 00:06:34.377 --> 00:06:40.249
- It's important for us to understand
- 00:06:40.983 --> 00:06:42.552
- When religion feels replace it tries to retaliate.
- 00:06:42.552 --> 00:06:46.522
- And that's what we see happening today in society and culture.
- 00:06:46.522 --> 00:06:50.026
- Maybe in your personal life, when the enemy
- 00:06:50.026 --> 00:06:52.128
- Can't control you, he tries to control how you see
- 00:06:52.128 --> 00:06:55.665
- God's hand of blessing at work through you.
- 00:06:55.665 --> 00:06:59.202
- What do i mean by that?
- 00:06:59.702 --> 00:07:00.870
- When the enemy can't stop god blessing you, he tries
- 00:07:00.870 --> 00:07:04.407
- To control your perspective of how you see god blessing you.
- 00:07:04.407 --> 00:07:11.414
- I love this passage
- 00:07:11.881 --> 00:07:13.082
- Because it doesn't say that the angel of the lord
- 00:07:13.082 --> 00:07:15.785
- Blocked him from being locked up.
- 00:07:15.785 --> 00:07:18.321
- It doesn't say that the angel of the lord
- 00:07:18.321 --> 00:07:20.122
- Stopped them from going in the prison cell.
- 00:07:20.122 --> 00:07:22.158
- It doesn't say that the angel of the lord
- 00:07:22.158 --> 00:07:23.693
- Stopped them from being in chains and restrained. no.
- 00:07:23.693 --> 00:07:26.262
- It says that the angel of
- 00:07:26.262 --> 00:07:27.396
- The lord got them out of what was holding them back.
- 00:07:27.396 --> 00:07:30.967
- And sometimes god will absolutely let you walk through
- 00:07:30.967 --> 00:07:34.203
- Some things.
- 00:07:34.203 --> 00:07:35.304
- God will absolutely let you stay stuck in some things.
- 00:07:35.304 --> 00:07:38.107
- God will absolutely let you stay entangled in some things
- 00:07:38.107 --> 00:07:41.210
- Until he shows up to get you out of what it was that
- 00:07:41.210 --> 00:07:44.814
- You may have gotten yourself into,
- 00:07:44.814 --> 00:07:46.749
- Or what someone else may have put you through.
- 00:07:46.749 --> 00:07:48.851
- To demonstrate how powerful of a god he is.
- 00:07:48.851 --> 00:07:53.856
- And so
- 00:07:54.056 --> 00:07:55.258
- We find this as application to our own love, understanding
- 00:07:55.258 --> 00:07:58.761
- That sometimes you're in the position
- 00:07:58.761 --> 00:08:01.264
- You're in, not because you've done wrong,
- 00:08:01.264 --> 00:08:02.965
- But absolutely because you've done right.
- 00:08:02.965 --> 00:08:08.738
- But when god
- 00:08:09.071 --> 00:08:10.940
- Brings you out.
- 00:08:10.940 --> 00:08:14.210
- It ain't nothing
- 00:08:14.210 --> 00:08:15.111
- No one or anything can do.
- 00:08:15.111 --> 00:08:19.148
- To force you to go back in.
- 00:08:19.749 --> 00:08:24.453
- Let's continue to work through the text a little bit.
- 00:08:25.454 --> 00:08:27.323
- Point number two is this god opens doors not for comfort,
- 00:08:27.323 --> 00:08:32.461
- But for calling.
- 00:08:32.828 --> 00:08:36.933
- Look at what the angel did not say.
- 00:08:37.667 --> 00:08:40.836
- The angel did not say. run!
- 00:08:40.836 --> 00:08:43.673
- They go get you.
- 00:08:43.673 --> 00:08:45.441
- They after you.
- 00:08:45.441 --> 00:08:47.243
- I don't know how many.
- 00:08:47.243 --> 00:08:47.977
- You ever been locked up before?
- 00:08:47.977 --> 00:08:49.946
- I have.
- 00:08:49.946 --> 00:08:51.380
- Soon as they let me out,
- 00:08:51.380 --> 00:08:53.215
- I got as far as i could away from that place.
- 00:08:53.215 --> 00:08:55.685
- You start to feel your risks and what freedom feels like again.
- 00:08:56.852 --> 00:08:59.255
- Oh, thank you god, oh thank you god.
- 00:08:59.255 --> 00:09:01.490
- Thank you, thank you, thank you. you receive free.
- 00:09:01.490 --> 00:09:03.292
- Your hands are free. your ankles are free.
- 00:09:03.292 --> 00:09:05.261
- You are no longer bound.
- 00:09:05.261 --> 00:09:06.295
- You're no longer in the place.
- 00:09:06.295 --> 00:09:11.434
- It didn't say that.
- 00:09:11.901 --> 00:09:12.735
- They ran
- 00:09:12.735 --> 00:09:14.904
- Into the lord.
- 00:09:14.904 --> 00:09:15.571
- Didn't instruct them to run.
- 00:09:15.571 --> 00:09:16.706
- Angel of the lord didn't
- 00:09:16.706 --> 00:09:17.707
- Instruct them to do anything except for stand
- 00:09:17.707 --> 00:09:22.311
- And teach.
- 00:09:22.612 --> 00:09:27.483
- Stand.
- 00:09:27.683 --> 00:09:30.620
- And teach.
- 00:09:30.620 --> 00:09:31.487
- When god brings you out, stand faithful
- 00:09:31.487 --> 00:09:36.225
- And teach the testimony that he's written in your life.
- 00:09:37.293 --> 00:09:41.130
- We overcome by the blood of the lamb
- 00:09:41.130 --> 00:09:44.200
- And by the words of our testimony.
- 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:47.403
- Right?
- 00:09:47.403 --> 00:09:47.937
- So stand and teach.
- 00:09:47.937 --> 00:09:50.906
- How do i stand and teach?
- 00:09:51.474 --> 00:09:52.942
- I'm faithful in the things i don't want to be faithful in.
- 00:09:52.942 --> 00:09:56.212
- How do i stand and teach?
- 00:09:56.779 --> 00:09:58.047
- I'm consistent in the things i don't want to be consistent in.
- 00:09:58.047 --> 00:10:01.250
- How do i stand and teach, i work against my flesh when my flesh
- 00:10:01.250 --> 00:10:05.254
- Is working against me
- 00:10:05.254 --> 00:10:06.622
- And i allow the spirit of god on the inside of me
- 00:10:06.622 --> 00:10:09.525
- To radiate louder than anything
- 00:10:09.525 --> 00:10:11.661
- That i personally want to do, how do i stand and teach?
- 00:10:11.661 --> 00:10:15.297
- I stand and teach by being consistent
- 00:10:15.297 --> 00:10:17.466
- And faithful in the areas that my flesh does
- 00:10:17.466 --> 00:10:19.902
- Not want to be consistent and faithful
- 00:10:19.902 --> 00:10:21.470
- In.
- 00:10:21.470 --> 00:10:23.239
- So the angel of the lord, he instructs them to stand
- 00:10:23.239 --> 00:10:27.677
- And teach.
- 00:10:27.977 --> 00:10:30.112
- He gives them
- 00:10:30.112 --> 00:10:31.380
- Specific instructions about what he wants them to speak about.
- 00:10:31.380 --> 00:10:34.884
- He says in verse 20,
- 00:10:35.351 --> 00:10:38.688
- Go and stand in the temple
- 00:10:38.688 --> 00:10:42.091
- And speak to the people
- 00:10:42.091 --> 00:10:44.326
- All the words of this life.
- 00:10:44.326 --> 00:10:49.498
- I want you to underline that.
- 00:10:50.132 --> 00:10:51.300
- I want you to highlight that.
- 00:10:51.300 --> 00:10:54.370
- I want you to write this beside it in the greek.
- 00:10:54.370 --> 00:10:57.673
- The words of this life
- 00:10:57.673 --> 00:11:00.376
- Can be defined.
- 00:11:00.376 --> 00:11:02.545
- It's the luke saying, keep preaching
- 00:11:02.545 --> 00:11:06.348
- The resurrection.
- 00:11:06.348 --> 00:11:09.952
- Keep teaching the resurrection
- 00:11:10.553 --> 00:11:14.824
- What luke is saying.
- 00:11:15.291 --> 00:11:17.359
- Keep announcing the kind of life
- 00:11:17.359 --> 00:11:19.528
- That can't die.
- 00:11:19.528 --> 00:11:25.568
- Hear me?
- 00:11:25.835 --> 00:11:27.737
- Very important that you hear me
- 00:11:27.737 --> 00:11:30.773
- When you stand.
- 00:11:30.773 --> 00:11:32.808
- You are teaching the kind of life
- 00:11:32.808 --> 00:11:36.445
- That can't die.
- 00:11:36.812 --> 00:11:42.351
- When the enemy
- 00:11:42.685 --> 00:11:43.552
- Is pushing against you, you remind him,
- 00:11:43.552 --> 00:11:46.822
- I stand for the kind of life
- 00:11:47.423 --> 00:11:51.293
- That cannot die.
- 00:11:51.694 --> 00:11:55.331
- So what does this mean in
- 00:11:55.898 --> 00:11:56.999
- Context to what you may be going through right now?
- 00:11:56.999 --> 00:12:00.736
- It means you remind yourself
- 00:12:01.337 --> 00:12:04.807
- That the resurrection power of jesus christ
- 00:12:04.807 --> 00:12:08.277
- Is at work in you.
- 00:12:08.711 --> 00:12:12.081
- And if the resurrection power of
- 00:12:12.081 --> 00:12:13.949
- Jesus christ is powerful enough to raise him from the dead,
- 00:12:13.949 --> 00:12:17.686
- Don't you believe it's powerful enough to free you
- 00:12:18.687 --> 00:12:21.157
- From whatever bondage is holding you back right now?
- 00:12:21.157 --> 00:12:28.597
- So instead of worrying about it,
- 00:12:29.231 --> 00:12:32.334
- Worship
- 00:12:32.334 --> 00:12:34.370
- Instead of stressing about it.
- 00:12:34.370 --> 00:12:36.405
- Praise instead of operating in fear.
- 00:12:36.405 --> 00:12:40.442
- Apply your faith because god opens doors
- 00:12:40.442 --> 00:12:44.446
- Not for comfort, but for your calling.
- 00:12:44.446 --> 00:12:47.716
- The proof of your freedom is not that you left prison.
- 00:12:47.716 --> 00:12:51.120
- The proof of your freedom is that you return to
- 00:12:52.121 --> 00:12:54.890
- Your god given purpose.
- 00:12:54.890 --> 00:12:58.360
- You have a purpose in your life.
- 00:12:58.994 --> 00:13:01.430
- I said.
- 00:13:01.664 --> 00:13:02.364
- You have a purpose in your life.
- 00:13:02.364 --> 00:13:04.233
- You have a purpose on your life.
- 00:13:04.233 --> 00:13:05.501
- Your purpose is not to work.
- 00:13:05.501 --> 00:13:06.836
- Your job.
- 00:13:06.836 --> 00:13:12.808
- Now, don't hear what i'm not saying.
- 00:13:13.576 --> 00:13:15.144
- I'm not saying to quit your job.
- 00:13:15.144 --> 00:13:18.514
- I'm telling you your job is not your purpose.
- 00:13:18.514 --> 00:13:22.718
- That's what i'm telling you.
- 00:13:23.319 --> 00:13:24.286
- I'm telling you your purpose
- 00:13:24.286 --> 00:13:26.255
- Is something far greater than you working or 9 to 5.
- 00:13:26.255 --> 00:13:29.225
- Your purpose is what you were created for.
- 00:13:29.225 --> 00:13:31.427
- Do you really think that god created you to come and clock
- 00:13:31.427 --> 00:13:34.663
- In here?
- 00:13:34.663 --> 00:13:38.167
- No. he created you to be
- 00:13:38.167 --> 00:13:39.468
- An extension of what's going on in heaven.
- 00:13:39.468 --> 00:13:41.470
- He created you to extend his family from heaven to earth.
- 00:13:41.470 --> 00:13:44.406
- He created you so that when you talk,
- 00:13:44.406 --> 00:13:46.742
- When you walk, when you move, when you breathe,
- 00:13:46.742 --> 00:13:48.978
- You are singing a song to the lord.
- 00:13:48.978 --> 00:13:51.113
- He created you for worship and worship.
- 00:13:51.113 --> 00:13:53.282
- It's not just what we do at the beginning of service.
- 00:13:53.282 --> 00:13:55.584
- Worship is our life.
- 00:13:55.584 --> 00:13:57.019
- It is a lifestyle that we live.
- 00:13:57.019 --> 00:13:58.754
- So when i wake up in the morning, i worship.
- 00:13:58.754 --> 00:14:00.723
- When i go to sleep at night, i worship
- 00:14:00.723 --> 00:14:02.524
- When i breathe, i worship when i lift my hands, i worship
- 00:14:02.524 --> 00:14:05.694
- When i give, i worship when i make sacrifice.
- 00:14:05.694 --> 00:14:08.497
- Our worship when i say hallelujah, i worship
- 00:14:08.497 --> 00:14:10.966
- When i cry, i worship when i laugh, i worship.
- 00:14:10.966 --> 00:14:13.769
- All of life is worship.
- 00:14:13.769 --> 00:14:19.408
- All of life is worship.
- 00:14:19.909 --> 00:14:21.277
- And we've been taught bad theology to make us believe
- 00:14:21.277 --> 00:14:24.079
- That worship is just the beginning of a service.
- 00:14:24.079 --> 00:14:27.917
- And so we say things like,
- 00:14:28.484 --> 00:14:30.152
- I'm going to show up late because i don't want to worship.
- 00:14:30.152 --> 00:14:34.256
- And they sing too long.
- 00:14:34.757 --> 00:14:36.025
- You know, you sound like you sound like the sadducees
- 00:14:36.025 --> 00:14:46.869
- I'm going to take my time.
- 00:14:47.436 --> 00:14:50.439
- We got a little time.
- 00:14:50.439 --> 00:14:55.110
- Because i want you to understand this.
- 00:14:55.945 --> 00:14:59.181
- Because we've been made to believe that
- 00:14:59.181 --> 00:15:00.616
- These moments are for us.
- 00:15:00.616 --> 00:15:03.819
- And they're not
- 00:15:04.186 --> 00:15:06.055
- For the king of kings and the lord of lords who desires
- 00:15:06.055 --> 00:15:09.391
- To fill us with the spirit,
- 00:15:09.992 --> 00:15:13.362
- To fill us with his spirit.
- 00:15:13.362 --> 00:15:17.833
- Think about that for a moment.
- 00:15:18.434 --> 00:15:21.003
- The king of kings and the lord of lords desires
- 00:15:21.003 --> 00:15:23.872
- To fill you with his spirit.
- 00:15:23.872 --> 00:15:31.647
- So god
- 00:15:31.847 --> 00:15:33.415
- Opens doors not for comfort,
- 00:15:33.415 --> 00:15:36.986
- But for calling.
- 00:15:37.353 --> 00:15:40.823
- Do you understand
- 00:15:41.256 --> 00:15:43.892
- That breakthrough without obedience
- 00:15:43.892 --> 00:15:47.262
- Is rebellion in disguise?
- 00:15:47.262 --> 00:15:50.699
- And some of you are praying
- 00:15:51.300 --> 00:15:52.735
- That god would open the cell, but you have no desire
- 00:15:52.735 --> 00:15:55.504
- To serve him completely and totally.
- 00:15:55.504 --> 00:15:58.707
- Some of you are asking him to bring you out, but
- 00:15:59.641 --> 00:16:02.111
- You have no desire to serve him with all of your heart.
- 00:16:02.111 --> 00:16:05.381
- Some of you are asking god to deliver you,
- 00:16:06.215 --> 00:16:08.751
- But you have not delivered
- 00:16:08.751 --> 00:16:10.285
- The things that god
- 00:16:10.285 --> 00:16:11.520
- Has placed in you for his glory and for his kingdom.
- 00:16:11.520 --> 00:16:14.656
- So do you know what god will do?
- 00:16:14.656 --> 00:16:16.225
- God will absolutely leave you in long enough.
- 00:16:16.225 --> 00:16:20.329
- Until you are broken of everything that is tried
- 00:16:21.296 --> 00:16:23.632
- To hold you.
- 00:16:23.632 --> 00:16:27.169
- To become who he desires for you to become.
- 00:16:27.169 --> 00:16:30.172
- So when god
- 00:16:30.506 --> 00:16:31.673
- Brings you out, he does not bring you out for comfort.
- 00:16:31.673 --> 00:16:35.778
- He brings you out for your calling.
- 00:16:35.778 --> 00:16:39.081
- You have a call on your life.
- 00:16:39.081 --> 00:16:41.550
- You have an assignment on your life.
- 00:16:41.550 --> 00:16:44.053
- You have a god given purpose on your life,
- 00:16:44.053 --> 00:16:46.955
- And you will stay trapped
- 00:16:46.955 --> 00:16:48.724
- In the things that you are
- 00:16:48.724 --> 00:16:50.025
- Trapped in until you surrender your all to him
- 00:16:50.025 --> 00:16:53.862
- And submit your will to his will and your way to his way.
- 00:16:53.862 --> 00:16:57.399
- And i know life may be going good right now
- 00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:59.501
- For you, but guess what? keep on living.
- 00:16:59.501 --> 00:17:01.303
- If you live it with him, it gets better and better.
- 00:17:01.303 --> 00:17:03.739
- It gets gooder and gooder.
- 00:17:03.739 --> 00:17:05.507
- And i know you like with this bad english.
- 00:17:05.507 --> 00:17:07.643
- I know it is. but it makes sense to me.
- 00:17:07.643 --> 00:17:12.081
- So god will bring you out.
- 00:17:12.648 --> 00:17:15.984
- Not for your comfort, but for your calling.
- 00:17:15.984 --> 00:17:20.522
- Can we dig a little bit deeper?
- 00:17:21.156 --> 00:17:25.194
- Point number three is this.
- 00:17:25.794 --> 00:17:27.029
- You can be loyal to duty and still miss divinity.
- 00:17:27.029 --> 00:17:35.471
- You can be loyal to duty
- 00:17:35.971 --> 00:17:37.206
- And still miss divinity.
- 00:17:37.206 --> 00:17:40.476
- Don't be so busy.
- 00:17:40.476 --> 00:17:43.846
- Doing the things of ministry
- 00:17:44.413 --> 00:17:46.515
- That you forget to serve jesus.
- 00:17:46.515 --> 00:17:50.419
- Don't allow jesus presence to be here in you.
- 00:17:50.419 --> 00:17:53.122
- So focus on what needs to be done that you miss it.
- 00:17:53.122 --> 00:17:56.925
- Don't be so focused on what's coming
- 00:17:57.693 --> 00:17:59.895
- Next that you don't see
- 00:17:59.895 --> 00:18:01.897
- Who's standing in front of you right now.
- 00:18:01.897 --> 00:18:05.667
- You can be so loyal to duty that you miss the divinity.
- 00:18:05.667 --> 00:18:10.072
- It says.
- 00:18:10.072 --> 00:18:11.039
- We found the prison securely locked and the
- 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.876
- Guards standing at the doors.
- 00:18:13.876 --> 00:18:20.282
- If i'm being honest with you,
- 00:18:20.916 --> 00:18:21.984
- That's the tragedy of religion.
- 00:18:21.984 --> 00:18:25.487
- People religiously guarding
- 00:18:26.088 --> 00:18:27.990
- Empty rooms.
- 00:18:27.990 --> 00:18:31.126
- God doesn't just want to fill a building.
- 00:18:32.027 --> 00:18:34.029
- He wants to fill you.
- 00:18:34.029 --> 00:18:36.632
- He wants to make you his earthen vessel.
- 00:18:36.632 --> 00:18:38.834
- He wants to make you his living sanctuary.
- 00:18:38.834 --> 00:18:41.336
- He wants to make you a temple of the most high god.
- 00:18:41.336 --> 00:18:44.239
- Don't be so busy on your work space
- 00:18:44.239 --> 00:18:47.876
- And in your workplace that you forget the divinity
- 00:18:47.876 --> 00:18:50.913
- Of the most high god at work.
- 00:18:50.913 --> 00:18:52.281
- On the inside of you, there is
- 00:18:52.281 --> 00:18:54.016
- An obligation to serve the lord with all your heart
- 00:18:54.016 --> 00:18:57.586
- And not for him, just to have all of you,
- 00:18:57.586 --> 00:18:59.888
- But for you to enjoy all of him.
- 00:18:59.888 --> 00:19:03.926
- The reality of this is many of us defend traditions
- 00:19:04.927 --> 00:19:07.663
- That god has already walked past.
- 00:19:07.663 --> 00:19:12.701
- And so we
- 00:19:13.001 --> 00:19:14.102
- Say things like, you can't wear that to church now.
- 00:19:14.102 --> 00:19:25.747
- Many of us defend traditions
- 00:19:26.348 --> 00:19:27.683
- That god has already walked past.
- 00:19:27.683 --> 00:19:31.787
- When the presence
- 00:19:32.221 --> 00:19:33.055
- Of the holy spirit moves,
- 00:19:33.055 --> 00:19:36.291
- Protocol states posted.
- 00:19:36.291 --> 00:19:40.729
- And if this is not his church,
- 00:19:41.330 --> 00:19:44.666
- Then it is our church.
- 00:19:44.666 --> 00:19:47.069
- And anything we build, we have to
- 00:19:47.069 --> 00:19:48.904
- Sustain grace for.
- 00:19:48.904 --> 00:19:52.207
- And herein lies the problem
- 00:19:52.207 --> 00:19:54.376
- With some churches.
- 00:19:54.376 --> 00:19:58.413
- My prayer for us
- 00:19:58.814 --> 00:20:01.116
- Is that we never get used to man's systems
- 00:20:01.116 --> 00:20:04.953
- Over the presence of the holy spirit.
- 00:20:05.787 --> 00:20:11.493
- God asked me this question
- 00:20:12.060 --> 00:20:13.328
- When day.
- 00:20:13.328 --> 00:20:17.132
- Is it possible?
- 00:20:17.499 --> 00:20:20.569
- That in some churches
- 00:20:21.069 --> 00:20:23.405
- I could not be there and they still have church?
- 00:20:23.405 --> 00:20:27.609
- And the reality is, yes,
- 00:20:28.143 --> 00:20:31.246
- Because we have things so organized and so orchestrated
- 00:20:31.246 --> 00:20:34.283
- Down to the minute,
- 00:20:34.283 --> 00:20:35.951
- The call sheet, the
- 00:20:36.418 --> 00:20:37.486
- Run clock, all these different things,
- 00:20:37.486 --> 00:20:41.256
- And sometimes we limit the power of the holy spirit
- 00:20:41.256 --> 00:20:43.825
- Because we got a program.
- 00:20:43.825 --> 00:20:47.929
- But when god brings you out,
- 00:20:48.530 --> 00:20:51.466
- A program can't hold you hostage.
- 00:20:51.466 --> 00:20:57.839
- And so my encouragement to you
- 00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:00.008
- Today is don't be more loyal to your duty
- 00:21:00.008 --> 00:21:03.645
- Than you are faithful to the divinity
- 00:21:04.446 --> 00:21:06.415
- Of jesus.
- 00:21:06.415 --> 00:21:11.119
- Scripture says
- 00:21:11.453 --> 00:21:14.489
- They entered the temple.
- 00:21:14.489 --> 00:21:17.793
- At daybreak
- 00:21:17.793 --> 00:21:20.595
- And began to teach.
- 00:21:20.595 --> 00:21:23.565
- Point number four is this.
- 00:21:23.565 --> 00:21:26.935
- Daybreak belongs to the obedient.
- 00:21:27.602 --> 00:21:30.972
- I'll say it again.
- 00:21:31.406 --> 00:21:32.174
- Daybreak belongs to the obedient.
- 00:21:32.174 --> 00:21:36.878
- Darkness could not delay
- 00:21:37.379 --> 00:21:41.016
- Of people who already decided to obey.
- 00:21:41.016 --> 00:21:44.052
- Daybreak belongs to the obedient.
- 00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:48.023
- And i just came to announce to someone today
- 00:21:48.023 --> 00:21:51.360
- I see the breaking of day.
- 00:21:51.360 --> 00:21:55.997
- I see god breaking things open for you.
- 00:21:54.363 --> 00:21:59.901
- I see
- 00:21:59.901 --> 00:22:01.136
- You walking out of the cell that tried to hold you hostage.
- 00:22:01.136 --> 00:22:04.272
- I see you standing and declaring the works of an almighty god
- 00:22:04.272 --> 00:22:08.410
- In obedience to the things that god is calling you to stand
- 00:22:08.410 --> 00:22:12.447
- And declare.
- 00:22:12.447 --> 00:22:13.315
- He is faithful to perform.
- 00:22:13.315 --> 00:22:15.817
- He is faithful to deliver.
- 00:22:15.817 --> 00:22:17.886
- He is faithful to set free because of the sun, set free.
- 00:22:17.886 --> 00:22:25.327
- Is free indeed.
- 00:22:25.694 --> 00:22:28.930
- Free indeed.
- 00:22:28.930 --> 00:22:30.766
- So daybreak.
- 00:22:30.766 --> 00:22:33.735
- Belongs
- 00:22:33.735 --> 00:22:35.604
- To the obedience.
- 00:22:35.604 --> 00:22:38.039
- Is it possible that you still feel trapped
- 00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:40.275
- In darkness because of disobedience?
- 00:22:40.275 --> 00:22:42.144
- Absolutely.
- 00:22:42.144 --> 00:22:44.379
- Is it possible you still feel trapped
- 00:22:44.379 --> 00:22:46.214
- In bondage because of disobedience?
- 00:22:46.214 --> 00:22:47.916
- Absolutely.
- 00:22:47.916 --> 00:22:49.217
- One of the things that i've learned about obedience
- 00:22:49.217 --> 00:22:51.620
- Is that the night can't hold
- 00:22:51.620 --> 00:22:52.954
- What obedience has already scheduled for sunrise.
- 00:22:52.954 --> 00:23:05.167
- So every new day,
- 00:23:05.600 --> 00:23:08.303
- It begins with someone who refused to wait
- 00:23:08.303 --> 00:23:10.672
- For daylight to believe.
- 00:23:10.672 --> 00:23:13.875
- Daybreak belongs to the obedient.
- 00:23:13.875 --> 00:23:19.481
- And i wonder
- 00:23:19.815 --> 00:23:21.716
- Whether any sons and daughters in this house,
- 00:23:21.716 --> 00:23:23.819
- Or maybe watching online around the world somewhere
- 00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:27.355
- That understands if it had not been for the lord
- 00:23:27.355 --> 00:23:30.592
- On my side.
- 00:23:30.592 --> 00:23:36.765
- Yeah, that's a good pity paty for yourself,
- 00:23:37.666 --> 00:23:40.869
- I said.
- 00:23:40.869 --> 00:23:41.970
- But i wish i had a group of people that understood
- 00:23:41.970 --> 00:23:44.339
- If it had not been for the lord,
- 00:23:44.339 --> 00:23:48.376
- Who is on
- 00:23:48.677 --> 00:23:51.513
- Not just my side, but your side,
- 00:23:51.513 --> 00:23:54.282
- If it had not been for the lord on my side,
- 00:23:54.282 --> 00:23:58.453
- Where in the world would i be?
- 00:23:58.453 --> 00:24:10.365
- The same god who opens
- 00:24:10.832 --> 00:24:12.400
- Prison doors at midnight.
- 00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:15.670
- Is the same god that breaks
- 00:24:16.271 --> 00:24:17.739
- Personal bondage off of you in the morning.
- 00:24:17.739 --> 00:24:22.410
- You know what god does?
- 00:24:22.911 --> 00:24:25.380
- He frees the soul before he frees the body.
- 00:24:25.380 --> 00:24:29.451
- Some of you are waiting for your body
- 00:24:30.285 --> 00:24:31.987
- To come into alignment. no, no, no.
- 00:24:31.987 --> 00:24:33.788
- Let your spirit come into alignment.
- 00:24:33.788 --> 00:24:36.224
- Remind yourself this is the day that the lord has made.
- 00:24:36.224 --> 00:24:39.761
- I choose to rejoice, making my mind up to rejoice.
- 00:24:39.761 --> 00:24:43.865
- I could choose to be sad, but i choose to rejoice.
- 00:24:43.865 --> 00:24:46.835
- I could choose the crown, but i choose to rejoice.
- 00:24:46.835 --> 00:24:49.471
- I could choose to wallow in my sin,
- 00:24:49.471 --> 00:24:51.606
- But i choose to rejoice.
- 00:24:51.606 --> 00:24:52.974
- I wonder to anybody, listen to me right now.
- 00:24:52.974 --> 00:24:55.777
- You choose to rejoice, be made glad in it.
- 00:24:55.777 --> 00:24:59.614
- Oh, clap your hands, all ye people,
- 00:24:59.614 --> 00:25:03.118
- And serve a god with a voice of triumph.
- 00:25:03.118 --> 00:25:06.688
- When god brings you out.
- 00:25:07.188 --> 00:25:10.559
- My prayer is that if you felt trapped,
- 00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:14.029
- Or you felt stuck, or like you were going
- 00:25:14.029 --> 00:25:16.197
- Through the rat race of life before you encountered
- 00:25:16.197 --> 00:25:19.267
- This broadcast, that you feel free.
- 00:25:19.267 --> 00:25:22.304
- Scripture teaches us that who the sun sets free is free
- 00:25:22.304 --> 00:25:25.307
- Indeed.
- 00:25:25.307 --> 00:25:26.575
- My prayer for you as we close this broadcast
- 00:25:26.575 --> 00:25:28.910
- Today is that you would encounter.
- 00:25:28.910 --> 00:25:30.345
- You would experience the liberty that only jesus can give
- 00:25:30.345 --> 00:25:34.416
- And something powerful that happens when god brings you out.
- 00:25:34.416 --> 00:25:39.054
- No man, no woman can trap you or like you in.
- 00:25:39.054 --> 00:25:43.191
- So i pray that you continue to run in the freedom
- 00:25:43.191 --> 00:25:45.260
- That god has provided for you today through the word of god.
- 00:25:45.260 --> 00:25:48.463
- My prayer is that if this broadcast has blessed you,
- 00:25:48.463 --> 00:25:51.499
- That you would pause for a moment, that you would pray,
- 00:25:51.499 --> 00:25:54.769
- That you would consider partnering with us,
- 00:25:54.769 --> 00:25:56.871
- Helping us continue to spread this message
- 00:25:56.871 --> 00:25:58.840
- We believe in to the various places
- 00:25:58.840 --> 00:26:01.343
- That are listening and leaning into moments like these.
- 00:26:01.343 --> 00:26:04.312
- A team is going to throw some information
- 00:26:04.312 --> 00:26:05.680
- At the bottom of the screen,
- 00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:07.182
- Pull out your phone, scan that qr code,
- 00:26:07.182 --> 00:26:09.317
- Write down that email address, allow us to partner
- 00:26:09.317 --> 00:26:12.988
- To advance the gospel of jesus christ.
- 00:26:12.988 --> 00:26:16.191
- Before we close, i want to set myself in agreement with you.
- 00:26:16.191 --> 00:26:19.327
- I want to pray for you. i want to pray with you.
- 00:26:19.327 --> 00:26:21.463
- I want to believe god
- 00:26:21.463 --> 00:26:22.464
- For the things that you're believing god for.
- 00:26:22.464 --> 00:26:24.065
- I am a firm believer that the word of god is true.
- 00:26:24.065 --> 00:26:26.234
- And it says where there are 2
- 00:26:26.234 --> 00:26:27.435
- Or 3 gathered in my name, there i am in the midst of them.
- 00:26:27.435 --> 00:26:30.839
- I believe god is right here with us.
- 00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:32.974
- And so right now, in jesus name,
- 00:26:32.974 --> 00:26:34.843
- I thank you for my brother and my sister
- 00:26:34.843 --> 00:26:36.645
- That are leaning into this moment right now.

- You know the requests.
- 00:26:41.116 --> 00:26:42.784
- And so right now, in jesus name, i ask that you would perform
- 00:26:42.784 --> 00:26:46.454
- And provide for them according to your plans
- 00:26:46.454 --> 00:26:48.657
- And your purpose for their life.
