  • 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:17.767
  • Hey friends and family, it's tim timberlake,
  • 00:00:17.767 --> 00:00:19.936
  • Pastor of celebration church, and i'm so honored that
  • 00:00:19.936 --> 00:00:22.939
  • We get this opportunity to break open the word of god,
  • 00:00:22.939 --> 00:00:25.942
  • Look in his word and see how we can be changed, transformed,
  • 00:00:25.942 --> 00:00:30.380
  • Have our minds renewed because of his word.
  • 00:00:30.380 --> 00:00:33.950
  • I'm excited to deliver this word to you today.
  • 00:00:33.950 --> 00:00:36.719
  • It's a word
  • 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:37.854
  • That's been burning in my soul and great expectation
  • 00:00:37.854 --> 00:00:40.390
  • And anticipation for how god is going to move in
  • 00:00:40.390 --> 00:00:43.193
  • And through your life because of it.
  • 00:00:43.193 --> 00:00:44.828
  • And so i want us to go into the message
  • 00:00:44.828 --> 00:00:46.362
  • As it has already begun, entitled
  • 00:00:46.362 --> 00:00:48.765
  • When god turns the tide part one.
  • 00:00:48.765 --> 00:00:51.868
  • Be blessed by the word of god.
  • 00:00:51.868 --> 00:00:54.237
  • Demonstrate
  • 00:00:54.237 --> 00:00:55.472
  • To the sanhedrin council, that they are repeating history
  • 00:00:55.472 --> 00:00:58.942
  • And that god sends deliverers humanity rejects them,
  • 00:00:58.942 --> 00:01:03.746
  • Humanity is bound into bondage
  • 00:01:03.746 --> 00:01:06.950
  • And god raises other deliverers to set them free.
  • 00:01:06.950 --> 00:01:10.520
  • And they get set free.
  • 00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:11.721
  • And they repeat the cycle over and over again.
  • 00:01:11.721 --> 00:01:14.791
  • They're accusing
  • 00:01:14.791 --> 00:01:15.625
  • Stephen of blaspheming
  • 00:01:15.625 --> 00:01:17.127
  • God, blaspheming the temple, and blaspheming moses.
  • 00:01:17.127 --> 00:01:20.130
  • So he takes them from genesis to exodus,
  • 00:01:20.130 --> 00:01:22.565
  • Showing them that they are doing the same things
  • 00:01:22.565 --> 00:01:25.768
  • That happened to the patriarchs.
  • 00:01:25.768 --> 00:01:27.570
  • He starts off with abraham.
  • 00:01:27.570 --> 00:01:28.972
  • He teaches them
  • 00:01:28.972 --> 00:01:30.039
  • How abraham stopped short of going the distance
  • 00:01:30.039 --> 00:01:32.876
  • Of what god designed for him to go.
  • 00:01:32.876 --> 00:01:35.111
  • He then moves down to jacob, how jacob was sold into slavery
  • 00:01:35.111 --> 00:01:39.415
  • And he was taken to prison and he was pulled out of prison
  • 00:01:39.415 --> 00:01:42.619
  • And placed in the palace.
  • 00:01:42.619 --> 00:01:43.720
  • And then he was promoted
  • 00:01:43.720 --> 00:01:45.021
  • To be one of the highest ranking officials in egypt.
  • 00:01:45.021 --> 00:01:49.025
  • And then the scripture teaches us
  • 00:01:49.025 --> 00:01:51.594
  • That his father, jacob, goes to egypt to get grain,
  • 00:01:51.594 --> 00:01:55.064
  • And he ends up dying there.
  • 00:01:55.064 --> 00:01:56.399
  • He ends up dying in the land that god never promised him
  • 00:01:56.399 --> 00:01:59.769
  • To fulfill, and to occupy.
  • 00:01:59.769 --> 00:02:02.672
  • And he continues to march down the list of the patriarchs.
  • 00:02:02.672 --> 00:02:05.909
  • And he goes from jacob to moses, and he begins to teach
  • 00:02:05.909 --> 00:02:10.313
  • How pharaoh was put into power.
  • 00:02:10.313 --> 00:02:12.982
  • And he did not know the god of joseph.
  • 00:02:12.982 --> 00:02:16.819
  • And it wasn't that
  • 00:02:16.819 --> 00:02:18.021
  • He was ignorant, it was that he had intentional amnesia.
  • 00:02:18.021 --> 00:02:22.025
  • He desired to abandon the things that,
  • 00:02:22.025 --> 00:02:25.929
  • The god of joseph had implemented.
  • 00:02:25.929 --> 00:02:27.864
  • He desired to,
  • 00:02:27.864 --> 00:02:29.632
  • Turn a people away from the righteousness of god.
  • 00:02:29.632 --> 00:02:33.269
  • And so when scripture teaches
  • 00:02:33.269 --> 00:02:34.537
  • Us, another king arose over egypt, who not
  • 00:02:34.537 --> 00:02:37.774
  • Who knew nothing about joseph.
  • 00:02:37.774 --> 00:02:39.542
  • This is not willful ignorance.
  • 00:02:39.542 --> 00:02:41.511
  • This is intentional, rejection of history.
  • 00:02:41.511 --> 00:02:45.215
  • And one of the things that i want us
  • 00:02:45.215 --> 00:02:46.549
  • To understand right here from the very beginning,
  • 00:02:46.549 --> 00:02:48.952
  • Is when the enemy desires to enslave a people.
  • 00:02:48.952 --> 00:02:53.089
  • What the enemy will try to do is to get you
  • 00:02:53.089 --> 00:02:55.925
  • To forget the history of how god delivered you.
  • 00:02:55.925 --> 00:03:00.530
  • When the enemy
  • 00:03:00.863 --> 00:03:01.798
  • Desires to enslave you and imprison you,
  • 00:03:01.798 --> 00:03:04.767
  • The enemy will try to get you to forget of god's faithfulness.
  • 00:03:04.767 --> 00:03:09.005
  • He'll try to get you so focused on the current season of pain
  • 00:03:09.005 --> 00:03:12.742
  • That you're in that you forget that god is delivered
  • 00:03:12.742 --> 00:03:15.578
  • You from past pain.
  • 00:03:15.578 --> 00:03:17.447
  • God is delivering you from past trauma.
  • 00:03:17.447 --> 00:03:20.016
  • God has delivered you from past trials and tribulations.
  • 00:03:20.016 --> 00:03:23.253
  • And if he can get you to forget what god has already done,
  • 00:03:23.253 --> 00:03:27.090
  • It will blind you from seeing what god is currently doing.
  • 00:03:27.090 --> 00:03:30.760
  • And so stephen is teaching the sanhedrin council.
  • 00:03:30.760 --> 00:03:33.529
  • You are repeating a cycle that has gone on for years
  • 00:03:33.529 --> 00:03:37.500
  • And years and years,
  • 00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:38.635
  • And my prayer for you right now
  • 00:03:38.635 --> 00:03:40.670
  • Is that you would break this cycle
  • 00:03:40.670 --> 00:03:42.472
  • And you would honor the god
  • 00:03:42.472 --> 00:03:43.973
  • You say you believe in by not trying to imprison his message.
  • 00:03:43.973 --> 00:03:48.678
  • And so often when we are
  • 00:03:49.212 --> 00:03:50.780
  • Afraid of something, we try to put it in shackles.
  • 00:03:50.780 --> 00:03:54.884
  • When we are fearful of something,
  • 00:03:55.652 --> 00:03:57.553
  • We try to restrict it.
  • 00:03:57.553 --> 00:03:59.789
  • And we may not restricted with our chains and with ropes,
  • 00:03:59.789 --> 00:04:02.992
  • But we try to restrict it with our words.
  • 00:04:02.992 --> 00:04:05.762
  • And when we don't understand someone,
  • 00:04:05.762 --> 00:04:07.430
  • We start talking down on them.
  • 00:04:07.430 --> 00:04:11.567
  • What stephen is teaching
  • 00:04:12.101 --> 00:04:13.136
  • The sanhedrin council
  • 00:04:13.136 --> 00:04:16.205
  • Is what you reject,
  • 00:04:16.205 --> 00:04:18.341
  • And who you reject
  • 00:04:18.341 --> 00:04:20.777
  • Is the very same person you are waiting to save. you.
  • 00:04:20.777 --> 00:04:25.014
  • You say, i blaspheme moses,
  • 00:04:25.615 --> 00:04:28.918
  • But history will show you
  • 00:04:28.918 --> 00:04:31.821
  • That it was the people
  • 00:04:31.821 --> 00:04:33.890
  • That restricted him.
  • 00:04:33.890 --> 00:04:36.292
  • If we're not careful, we will reject the message of moses,
  • 00:04:36.292 --> 00:04:40.430
  • And we will reject the gospel of jesus.
  • 00:04:40.430 --> 00:04:44.634
  • And so he's not going through the history books for no reason.
  • 00:04:44.634 --> 00:04:48.137
  • He's going to raise testimony
  • 00:04:48.137 --> 00:04:51.741
  • And show the sanhedrin council that no matter how many times
  • 00:04:51.741 --> 00:04:55.545
  • God has been rejected,
  • 00:04:55.545 --> 00:04:57.313
  • He is always raised to deliver it, to set his people free
  • 00:04:57.313 --> 00:05:01.351
  • If they surrendered and submit it to his plan and purpose.
  • 00:05:01.351 --> 00:05:05.288
  • Egypt is being threatened
  • 00:05:05.855 --> 00:05:07.256
  • Because the population
  • 00:05:07.256 --> 00:05:08.691
  • Of the children of god are growing in egypt.
  • 00:05:08.691 --> 00:05:11.594
  • Theologians and historians
  • 00:05:11.594 --> 00:05:13.029
  • Believe at this particular time, 2 million children of god
  • 00:05:13.029 --> 00:05:17.200
  • Were being born in egypt and it threatened pharaoh.
  • 00:05:17.200 --> 00:05:20.269
  • It threatened his economic power,
  • 00:05:20.269 --> 00:05:22.138
  • It threatened his military power,
  • 00:05:22.138 --> 00:05:23.706
  • And he feared losing control.
  • 00:05:23.706 --> 00:05:25.942
  • And so he did what most, dictators did
  • 00:05:25.942 --> 00:05:29.078
  • At this particular time.
  • 00:05:29.078 --> 00:05:30.680
  • It was a common practice.
  • 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:32.382
  • He tried to eliminate a generation through genocide,
  • 00:05:32.382 --> 00:05:37.153
  • Commanding that all children
  • 00:05:37.754 --> 00:05:40.323
  • Be drowned in the nile river.
  • 00:05:40.323 --> 00:05:43.426
  • And so what we see happening in
  • 00:05:44.060 --> 00:05:46.462
  • Genesis and exodus is a generation of children
  • 00:05:46.462 --> 00:05:50.366
  • Being drowned for the fear that out of these children,
  • 00:05:50.366 --> 00:05:54.036
  • There will be a deliverer and a savior
  • 00:05:54.036 --> 00:05:56.105
  • That takes these people
  • 00:05:56.105 --> 00:05:57.507
  • Out of captivity into the very promise
  • 00:05:57.507 --> 00:06:00.076
  • That god has told them that they can walk into.
  • 00:06:00.076 --> 00:06:02.979
  • And have you noticed in your own life,
  • 00:06:02.979 --> 00:06:04.914
  • Whenever god gives you a promise,
  • 00:06:04.914 --> 00:06:07.049
  • The enemy comes immediately to try to hold you captive.
  • 00:06:07.049 --> 00:06:12.188
  • Whenever god speaks a declaration or a decree,
  • 00:06:13.156 --> 00:06:16.459
  • Or he gives you a glimpse of what it is
  • 00:06:16.459 --> 00:06:18.561
  • He desires to do in and through your life,
  • 00:06:18.561 --> 00:06:20.696
  • The enemy immediately comes and tries to remind you
  • 00:06:20.696 --> 00:06:24.500
  • Of who you used to be,
  • 00:06:24.500 --> 00:06:25.902
  • So that you never see who you're becoming.
  • 00:06:25.902 --> 00:06:28.004
  • Because if you get a glimpse of who you're becoming,
  • 00:06:28.004 --> 00:06:30.306
  • You won't stay
  • 00:06:30.306 --> 00:06:31.541
  • In the same position that you once found yourself in
  • 00:06:31.541 --> 00:06:34.444
  • When you were wallowing in your own sin.
  • 00:06:34.444 --> 00:06:38.648
  • So the enemy's job,
  • 00:06:39.115 --> 00:06:41.150
  • When he can't stop what god is doing.
  • 00:06:41.150 --> 00:06:44.420
  • So try to get you to see differently
  • 00:06:44.420 --> 00:06:46.923
  • Than what god desires for you to see.
  • 00:06:46.923 --> 00:06:50.293
  • And stephen is teaching the sanhedrin council
  • 00:06:50.293 --> 00:06:53.429
  • That god kept sending deliverers
  • 00:06:53.429 --> 00:06:55.898
  • And the people kept resisting them.
  • 00:06:55.898 --> 00:06:58.401
  • Moses was rejected before he was received,
  • 00:06:58.401 --> 00:07:01.804
  • And jesus was rejected before he would reign.
  • 00:07:01.804 --> 00:07:05.208
  • This is important for us to understand
  • 00:07:05.208 --> 00:07:07.143
  • Because there are areas in our own life that we reject jesus in
  • 00:07:07.143 --> 00:07:12.482
  • The areas
  • 00:07:12.782 --> 00:07:13.916
  • In our own faith journey that we still reject jesus in.
  • 00:07:13.916 --> 00:07:17.286
  • We open up portions of our heart to jesus, but we reject him
  • 00:07:17.286 --> 00:07:21.290
  • In other areas of our life that he desires to occupy.
  • 00:07:21.290 --> 00:07:24.594
  • And so what stephen is teaching us in acts chapter seven
  • 00:07:25.695 --> 00:07:29.298
  • Is that as god raises deliverers, fearful systems
  • 00:07:30.333 --> 00:07:33.769
  • Resist them, but god's purpose still prevails.
  • 00:07:33.769 --> 00:07:37.807
  • This was not random cruelty.
  • 00:07:37.807 --> 00:07:40.910
  • This was intentional.
  • 00:07:40.910 --> 00:07:43.412
  • This was strategic, and it was put in place
  • 00:07:43.412 --> 00:07:47.083
  • By design, by pharaoh and other people in power.
  • 00:07:47.083 --> 00:07:51.320
  • It was a strategic attempt to kill israel's future.
  • 00:07:52.355 --> 00:07:57.126
  • And yet, in the middle of a state sponsored attempt
  • 00:07:57.126 --> 00:08:00.763
  • To erase a generation, god was orchestrating deliverance.
  • 00:08:00.763 --> 00:08:05.434
  • He wasn't orchestrating deliverance outside of egypt.
  • 00:08:06.502 --> 00:08:09.906
  • He was orchestrating deliverance within egypt's very walls.
  • 00:08:09.906 --> 00:08:14.810
  • Moses
  • 00:08:15.044 --> 00:08:16.746
  • Was taken on a journey down the same river
  • 00:08:16.746 --> 00:08:20.383
  • That was utilized to kill a generation,
  • 00:08:20.383 --> 00:08:23.586
  • Which tells me when you are submitted and surrendered
  • 00:08:23.586 --> 00:08:27.089
  • To the plan of god,
  • 00:08:27.089 --> 00:08:28.658
  • The very thing that the enemy desires to use to kill you,
  • 00:08:28.658 --> 00:08:32.194
  • God will use to transport you from the season
  • 00:08:32.194 --> 00:08:35.264
  • You're in to the season he's calling you in to.
  • 00:08:35.264 --> 00:08:38.634
  • And right now our world feels tense.
  • 00:08:39.402 --> 00:08:42.605
  • Fear is loud, the vision is heavy,
  • 00:08:42.605 --> 00:08:46.609
  • And acts.
  • 00:08:46.909 --> 00:08:47.977
  • Chapter seven reminds us that god has never waited
  • 00:08:47.977 --> 00:08:51.514
  • On peaceful times to move powerfully.
  • 00:08:51.514 --> 00:08:55.284
  • All he needs is a people that are crazy enough to believe
  • 00:08:55.284 --> 00:08:59.288
  • That he is able to do anything, anywhere,
  • 00:08:59.288 --> 00:09:03.459
  • At any given point in time.
  • 00:09:03.459 --> 00:09:07.296
  • He's waiting on us to agree with him
  • 00:09:08.097 --> 00:09:11.567
  • That he's able to do those thing
  • 00:09:12.201 --> 00:09:17.039
  • God has never waited on peaceful times to move powerfully.
  • 00:09:18.174 --> 00:09:21.143
  • He does his greatest work in chaos.
  • 00:09:21.143 --> 00:09:24.347
  • The chaos that we see.
  • 00:09:24.814 --> 00:09:26.349
  • It does not counsel god's plan it, or it often activates it.
  • 00:09:26.349 --> 00:09:32.054
  • And god is waiting on you to stop talking more
  • 00:09:32.054 --> 00:09:34.490
  • About pharaoh than you are about your deliverer.
  • 00:09:34.490 --> 00:09:38.995
  • So the reason we can't see what god is doing
  • 00:09:39.929 --> 00:09:42.965
  • Is because we're so focused on what pharaoh has done,
  • 00:09:42.965 --> 00:09:46.869
  • That we've become victims instead of victors.
  • 00:09:46.869 --> 00:09:51.774
  • And we talk
  • 00:09:52.108 --> 00:09:53.142
  • What has happened to us, what is happening to us
  • 00:09:53.142 --> 00:09:56.679
  • More than what god is doing through us.
  • 00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:59.482
  • And if your focus remains on what happened to you, then
  • 00:09:59.482 --> 00:10:02.918
  • It blinds it to what god desires to do through you.
  • 00:10:02.918 --> 00:10:06.422
  • When you keep your eyes fixed on him,
  • 00:10:06.422 --> 00:10:08.391
  • He reminds you regardless of what's happening around you,
  • 00:10:08.391 --> 00:10:11.694
  • I'm at work on the inside of you,
  • 00:10:11.694 --> 00:10:13.629
  • And if i'm at work on the inside of you,
  • 00:10:13.629 --> 00:10:15.831
  • It doesn't matter what's happening around you,
  • 00:10:15.831 --> 00:10:17.967
  • For greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
  • 00:10:17.967 --> 00:10:21.971
  • But we have to stop putting our focus on what pharaoh has done
  • 00:10:21.971 --> 00:10:26.108
  • And put our focus on what jesus is doing.
  • 00:10:26.108 --> 00:10:29.645
  • Point number
  • 00:10:29.979 --> 00:10:31.047
  • One is this the devil never wages war on things
  • 00:10:31.047 --> 00:10:35.518
  • That don't matter. the
  • 00:10:35.518 --> 00:10:39.655
  • Enemy is waging a war on you
  • 00:10:40.222 --> 00:10:42.858
  • Because you matter.
  • 00:10:42.858 --> 00:10:45.561
  • Your destiny matters.
  • 00:10:45.561 --> 00:10:47.730
  • Your future matters.
  • 00:10:47.730 --> 00:10:49.932
  • What you steward matters.
  • 00:10:49.932 --> 00:10:52.301
  • And that's why you're in some of the worst trials
  • 00:10:52.301 --> 00:10:54.704
  • And tribulations.
  • 00:10:54.704 --> 00:10:55.604
  • And that's why it seems like there's
  • 00:10:55.604 --> 00:10:57.239
  • So much chaos and confusion happening around
  • 00:10:57.239 --> 00:11:00.042
  • You and happening in our world right now.
  • 00:11:00.042 --> 00:11:02.078
  • It's because
  • 00:11:02.078 --> 00:11:03.179
  • God is working his plan and the enemy can't stop it.
  • 00:11:03.179 --> 00:11:06.615
  • So when the enemy can't stop the plan of god,
  • 00:11:06.615 --> 00:11:09.418
  • The enemy will keep you so busy
  • 00:11:09.418 --> 00:11:11.220
  • With distractions that you don't see the plan of god.
  • 00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:14.557
  • And when fear becomes policy, oppression becomes inevitable.
  • 00:11:14.557 --> 00:11:18.894
  • But here's the good news when oppression is inevitable,
  • 00:11:19.962 --> 00:11:24.100
  • Deliverance has already been born.
  • 00:11:24.100 --> 00:11:29.405
  • Fear doesn't just panic.
  • 00:11:29.939 --> 00:11:32.508
  • Fear plans destruction.
  • 00:11:32.508 --> 00:11:35.177
  • And you have to be careful
  • 00:11:35.177 --> 00:11:37.113
  • To plan your own destiny from the lens of fear.
  • 00:11:37.113 --> 00:11:40.416
  • What i mean by that?
  • 00:11:40.883 --> 00:11:43.085
  • Don't exaggerate your reality.
  • 00:11:43.085 --> 00:11:46.122
  • When god has not spoken,
  • 00:11:46.122 --> 00:11:49.358
  • We do it quite often.
  • 00:11:49.358 --> 00:11:51.560
  • We see something
  • 00:11:51.560 --> 00:11:52.595
  • That's happening and we start saying, oh my gosh,
  • 00:11:52.595 --> 00:11:55.798
  • This is going to happen to me
  • 00:11:55.798 --> 00:11:58.334
  • As i see it happening to others.
  • 00:11:58.334 --> 00:12:00.803
  • And the reality is, is
  • 00:12:00.803 --> 00:12:03.105
  • Their reality is not your destiny.
  • 00:12:03.105 --> 00:12:07.076
  • Did you hear what i said?
  • 00:12:07.643 --> 00:12:09.411
  • Because it is happening to them does not mean
  • 00:12:09.411 --> 00:12:12.414
  • It will happen to you, but it will in fact happen to you.
  • 00:12:12.414 --> 00:12:16.552
  • If you start thinking to yourself, it will happen to me.
  • 00:12:16.552 --> 00:12:22.391
  • How do i know this?
  • 00:12:22.858 --> 00:12:24.193
  • Because the word of god is clear.
  • 00:12:24.193 --> 00:12:26.262
  • When pharaoh sought out to kill a generation,
  • 00:12:27.196 --> 00:12:30.566
  • God had already in the works a deliverer that will be carried
  • 00:12:30.566 --> 00:12:34.303
  • On the same instrument and on the same river
  • 00:12:34.303 --> 00:12:37.540
  • That pharaoh was using to wipe out of the people.
  • 00:12:37.540 --> 00:12:40.342
  • God used to raise moses
  • 00:12:40.342 --> 00:12:43.245
  • And sent him to the very place
  • 00:12:43.245 --> 00:12:46.148
  • That was oppressing other people.
  • 00:12:46.148 --> 00:12:49.218
  • God did not call moses
  • 00:12:49.685 --> 00:12:52.655
  • To free the people in the wilderness
  • 00:12:52.655 --> 00:12:55.958
  • Before god called moses to freed the people
  • 00:12:55.958 --> 00:12:59.461
  • From the palace of his oppressor.
  • 00:12:59.461 --> 00:13:02.665
  • Start running from the very place
  • 00:13:03.432 --> 00:13:04.900
  • God is calling you.
  • 00:13:04.900 --> 00:13:07.937
  • Some of us are running from the place
  • 00:13:08.771 --> 00:13:11.907
  • That god is calling us to go,
  • 00:13:11.907 --> 00:13:14.410
  • Because we're afraid of the person that is in power.
  • 00:13:14.410 --> 00:13:18.013
  • Instead of referencing the plan and the purpose that god has
  • 00:13:18.013 --> 00:13:20.649
  • Placed in you.
  • 00:13:20.649 --> 00:13:22.418
  • Look at me when i tell you this
  • 00:13:23.052 --> 00:13:25.387
  • God is not fearful
  • 00:13:25.387 --> 00:13:27.857
  • Of who you are fearful of.
  • 00:13:27.857 --> 00:13:30.593
  • God is not afraid of who you are afraid of.
  • 00:13:30.593 --> 00:13:34.697
  • God is not taken by surprise by the things you are taken
  • 00:13:34.697 --> 00:13:38.367
  • By surprise by god is god and he will continue to be god
  • 00:13:38.367 --> 00:13:43.873
  • No matter who you deem to be in power
  • 00:13:43.873 --> 00:13:46.742
  • In your life.
  • 00:13:46.742 --> 00:13:50.112
  • But the reason we get
  • 00:13:50.613 --> 00:13:52.548
  • Thrown off,
  • 00:13:52.548 --> 00:13:53.782
  • And the reason we lose hope, and the reason we lose faith,
  • 00:13:53.782 --> 00:13:56.652
  • Is because we put more faith in people of power
  • 00:13:56.652 --> 00:14:00.522
  • Than we do in the king of kings and the lord of lords,
  • 00:14:00.522 --> 00:14:07.129
  • And every system that is built on fear
  • 00:14:07.963 --> 00:14:11.133
  • Will eventually turn against those that are innocent
  • 00:14:11.133 --> 00:14:16.038
  • And those that cannot defend themselves.
  • 00:14:16.038 --> 00:14:19.642
  • Pharaoh had a desire to wipe out a generation,
  • 00:14:19.642 --> 00:14:23.612
  • And i believe his desire to wipe out a generation
  • 00:14:23.612 --> 00:14:28.017
  • Was because he understood that if a generation
  • 00:14:28.017 --> 00:14:30.953
  • Truly believes and knows god, they will become unstoppable.
  • 00:14:30.953 --> 00:14:34.957
  • And so what the enemy desires to do in this particular day
  • 00:14:36.125 --> 00:14:38.894
  • And age, it's keep you so distracted.
  • 00:14:38.894 --> 00:14:41.630
  • Choosing sides.
  • 00:14:41.630 --> 00:14:45.200
  • That you failed to realize
  • 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:47.469
  • Who's actually at work and who is in true power.
  • 00:14:47.469 --> 00:14:51.573
  • Listen to me.
  • 00:14:51.941 --> 00:14:53.208
  • We sitting here fighting over red and blue and blue and red,
  • 00:14:53.208 --> 00:14:56.478
  • And muslims are infiltrating the very place.
  • 00:14:57.379 --> 00:15:01.283
  • That belongs to jesus.
  • 00:15:01.750 --> 00:15:04.820
  • And we, bickering back and forth.
  • 00:15:04.820 --> 00:15:07.456
  • And we have failed to realize that pharaoh is trying to raise
  • 00:15:07.456 --> 00:15:10.192
  • Our kids.
  • 00:15:10.192 --> 00:15:12.227
  • You will not notice what pharaoh is doing
  • 00:15:13.062 --> 00:15:15.331
  • If you continue to look at how wrong your brother
  • 00:15:15.331 --> 00:15:18.434
  • And sister are because of a color,
  • 00:15:18.434 --> 00:15:21.670
  • Not just in politics,
  • 00:15:22.171 --> 00:15:24.239
  • But of their skin
  • 00:15:24.239 --> 00:15:27.076
  • And how wrong they are because of what they look like
  • 00:15:27.076 --> 00:15:29.611
  • And sound like in their upbringing and
  • 00:15:29.611 --> 00:15:31.914
  • And where they came from.
  • 00:15:31.914 --> 00:15:32.948
  • And if you think that you're better than them,
  • 00:15:32.948 --> 00:15:34.583
  • You've already become a slave to a system
  • 00:15:34.583 --> 00:15:38.220
  • That you were never supposed to be enslaved to.
  • 00:15:38.220 --> 00:15:45.194
  • It is all wicked.
  • 00:15:45.627 --> 00:15:48.764
  • Hear me?
  • 00:15:49.031 --> 00:15:49.698
  • It is all wicked.
  • 00:15:49.698 --> 00:15:53.669
  • All of it is wicked.
  • 00:15:54.136 --> 00:15:56.705
  • Any type of division
  • 00:15:56.705 --> 00:15:58.507
  • Is birthed out of a wicked system.
  • 00:15:58.507 --> 00:16:01.677
  • Are you listening to me?
  • 00:16:02.211 --> 00:16:04.279
  • Well, pastor, how can you talk like this?
  • 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:05.714
  • Because i'm not bought by any party.
  • 00:16:05.714 --> 00:16:09.018
  • I am a free man
  • 00:16:09.385 --> 00:16:12.187
  • And i will not be swayed
  • 00:16:12.187 --> 00:16:13.589
  • Or swooned by politics.
  • 00:16:13.589 --> 00:16:16.692
  • I will speak truth into it.
  • 00:16:16.692 --> 00:16:18.193
  • No matter who is in power.
  • 00:16:18.193 --> 00:16:22.131
  • And you need to understand what the word of god says,
  • 00:16:22.131 --> 00:16:25.100
  • Because if you don't, you'll be led astray
  • 00:16:25.100 --> 00:16:28.270
  • And think to yourself, man, this is phenomenal.
  • 00:16:28.270 --> 00:16:31.373
  • And you got shackles on your hands
  • 00:16:31.373 --> 00:16:33.275
  • And you don't even realize it because you're not following
  • 00:16:33.275 --> 00:16:36.145
  • The god of your fathers.
  • 00:16:36.145 --> 00:16:37.713
  • You're following the god that you put in place and the idols.
  • 00:16:37.713 --> 00:16:41.116
  • You have a record and the people that you believe
  • 00:16:41.116 --> 00:16:43.519
  • In more than you believe in god.
  • 00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:45.120
  • And so we say things like this god and country.
  • 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:51.427
  • And we use it in the same sentence,
  • 00:16:52.227 --> 00:16:55.030
  • Like country is just as powerful as god.
  • 00:16:55.030 --> 00:17:02.137
  • We've made this country an idol,
  • 00:17:02.771 --> 00:17:05.641
  • And we think that we're better than other countries.
  • 00:17:05.641 --> 00:17:10.312
  • When i read the word of god and i am in the book
  • 00:17:11.280 --> 00:17:14.383
  • And i am in the word of god, it does not say that god came
  • 00:17:14.383 --> 00:17:17.653
  • For a nation.
  • 00:17:17.653 --> 00:17:22.991
  • It says, for god.
  • 00:17:23.425 --> 00:17:24.426
  • So love, i couldn't hear you.
  • 00:17:24.426 --> 00:17:27.629
  • I couldn't hear you.
  • 00:17:28.063 --> 00:17:32.334
  • For god so loved the world.
  • 00:17:32.935 --> 00:17:35.437
  • A matter of fact, in acts chapter one, verse eight,
  • 00:17:35.437 --> 00:17:37.739
  • It says that he will give the holy spirit.
  • 00:17:37.739 --> 00:17:40.576
  • He will impart the holy spirit.
  • 00:17:40.576 --> 00:17:42.277
  • He will infuse the holy spirit so that we could be witnesses
  • 00:17:42.277 --> 00:17:46.315
  • In jerusalem,
  • 00:17:46.682 --> 00:17:48.951
  • In judea and samaria,
  • 00:17:48.951 --> 00:17:52.387
  • And in the uttermost parts of the earth.
  • 00:17:52.387 --> 00:17:56.525
  • But we don't even know
  • 00:17:56.525 --> 00:17:58.127
  • What we've been called to do because we idolize america
  • 00:17:58.127 --> 00:18:02.865
  • And we forget how
  • 00:18:03.298 --> 00:18:04.199
  • Wicked this country is.
  • 00:18:04.199 --> 00:18:11.673
  • And we are in dire need of jesus.
  • 00:18:12.374 --> 00:18:18.981
  • We don't hear that, though.
  • 00:18:19.581 --> 00:18:23.085
  • Because we don't know what the word of god says.
  • 00:18:23.085 --> 00:18:25.220
  • And we think that we all that in a bag of chips.
  • 00:18:25.220 --> 00:18:27.990
  • We're not.
  • 00:18:27.990 --> 00:18:29.525
  • We idolize money.
  • 00:18:29.525 --> 00:18:30.792
  • We idolize possessions.
  • 00:18:30.792 --> 00:18:32.261
  • We idolize material things.
  • 00:18:32.261 --> 00:18:34.096
  • We push god to the background
  • 00:18:34.096 --> 00:18:35.697
  • Until we actually need him for something that we don't even
  • 00:18:35.697 --> 00:18:38.834
  • Need ourselves.
  • 00:18:38.834 --> 00:18:40.102
  • And then we pull him out of the closet
  • 00:18:40.102 --> 00:18:41.904
  • And we prop him up as a puppet,
  • 00:18:41.904 --> 00:18:43.639
  • And we say, this is god's country.
  • 00:18:43.639 --> 00:18:47.709
  • It will not be god's country
  • 00:18:48.310 --> 00:18:50.345
  • Until god's people wake up
  • 00:18:50.345 --> 00:18:53.115
  • And realize
  • 00:18:53.115 --> 00:18:55.517
  • What is actually taking place.
  • 00:18:55.517 --> 00:18:57.719
  • And we repent and we humble ourselves,
  • 00:18:57.719 --> 00:19:01.190
  • And we turn from our wicked ways,
  • 00:19:01.190 --> 00:19:04.059
  • And we
  • 00:19:04.259 --> 00:19:05.294
  • Stop putting our faith and politics and policies
  • 00:19:05.294 --> 00:19:08.597
  • And anchor our faith in the hope of jesus christ,
  • 00:19:08.597 --> 00:19:11.934
  • Because it is only he who has the power to save.
  • 00:19:11.934 --> 00:19:14.503
  • It is only he who has the power to deliver.
  • 00:19:14.503 --> 00:19:16.638
  • It is only he who has the power to redeem.
  • 00:19:16.638 --> 00:19:18.707
  • It is only he who has the power to set free.
  • 00:19:18.707 --> 00:19:21.009
  • And if we are blind, then guess what happens.
  • 00:19:21.009 --> 00:19:24.413
  • Our kids will be led astray, which is what
  • 00:19:24.413 --> 00:19:28.083
  • The enemy desires and is hoping for.
  • 00:19:28.083 --> 00:19:31.954
  • I want you to think about this for a second.
  • 00:19:31.954 --> 00:19:33.956
  • At your age right now as an adult, do you have new sin?
  • 00:19:33.956 --> 00:19:38.393
  • Right now?
  • 00:19:38.694 --> 00:19:39.528
  • Did you just pick up lust last year,
  • 00:19:39.528 --> 00:19:42.231
  • 50 years old?
  • 00:19:42.231 --> 00:19:42.965
  • You just start thinking, man,
  • 00:19:42.965 --> 00:19:43.999
  • I'm going to try to list out this year.
  • 00:19:43.999 --> 00:19:45.834
  • I'm gonna try it out, see how it works out for me.
  • 00:19:45.834 --> 00:19:50.772
  • 60 years old.
  • 00:19:51.139 --> 00:19:52.774
  • You just start gossiping out of nowhere.
  • 00:19:52.774 --> 00:19:56.311
  • Never gossip before 60.
  • 00:19:56.311 --> 00:19:57.879
  • Turn 60.
  • 00:19:57.879 --> 00:19:59.481
  • Girl, let me tell you what happened the day at church.
  • 00:19:59.481 --> 00:20:02.517
  • The pastor was talking about america.
  • 00:20:02.517 --> 00:20:10.292
  • You ain't just picking up sin.
  • 00:20:10.926 --> 00:20:13.328
  • You've been struggling with that sin for a long time.
  • 00:20:13.328 --> 00:20:16.665
  • As a matter of fact, when you really do
  • 00:20:17.466 --> 00:20:19.234
  • Inventory, you really think back.
  • 00:20:19.234 --> 00:20:21.670
  • You started with that sin when you was really,
  • 00:20:21.670 --> 00:20:24.172
  • Really young.
  • 00:20:24.172 --> 00:20:27.843
  • Because the enemy knew
  • 00:20:28.343 --> 00:20:29.478
  • You had an assignment.
  • 00:20:29.478 --> 00:20:33.315
  • And if he can keep you so busy and distracted
  • 00:20:33.315 --> 00:20:35.651
  • With sin from a young age, that sin of grow with you
  • 00:20:35.651 --> 00:20:39.921
  • And what was once a little baby, unless you just rocking
  • 00:20:40.989 --> 00:20:43.859
  • That little baby.
  • 00:20:43.859 --> 00:20:44.526
  • Oh man, it ain't that bad.
  • 00:20:44.526 --> 00:20:48.397
  • I just watch a little pornography every now and again.
  • 00:20:48.397 --> 00:20:51.333
  • Ain't that bad.
  • 00:20:51.333 --> 00:20:53.635
  • I just lust a little bit after someone that's not my own.
  • 00:20:54.736 --> 00:20:57.806
  • I'm not that bad.
  • 00:20:57.806 --> 00:21:00.375
  • I just gossip a little bit.
  • 00:21:00.375 --> 00:21:02.811
  • Not that bad.
  • 00:21:02.811 --> 00:21:04.046
  • And that little baby of lust, that little baby of gossip,
  • 00:21:04.046 --> 00:21:06.648
  • That little baby of pornography
  • 00:21:06.648 --> 00:21:08.083
  • Turned into a full grown, full blown demon
  • 00:21:08.083 --> 00:21:11.253
  • That you can't wrestle out of your life on your own
  • 00:21:11.253 --> 00:21:14.489
  • Because you pay too much attention
  • 00:21:14.489 --> 00:21:19.227
  • To pharaoh
  • 00:21:19.528 --> 00:21:21.463
  • And not enough attention to your deliverer.
  • 00:21:21.463 --> 00:21:25.467
  • And that's what the enemy desires
  • 00:21:26.201 --> 00:21:27.703
  • To do to your kids and your grandkids.
  • 00:21:27.703 --> 00:21:31.673
  • And you so busy, distracted
  • 00:21:32.274 --> 00:21:35.210
  • With good things
  • 00:21:35.210 --> 00:21:37.979
  • That you have failed to realize
  • 00:21:37.979 --> 00:21:40.482
  • That the enemy is distracting your kids
  • 00:21:40.482 --> 00:21:43.652
  • With bad things.
  • 00:21:44.052 --> 00:21:47.622
  • They tell you who's raising
  • 00:21:47.622 --> 00:21:48.623
  • Most people's kids.
  • 00:21:48.623 --> 00:21:53.862
  • You know why this is?
  • 00:21:54.363 --> 00:21:55.530
  • Raising most people's kids? because it's raising you.
  • 00:21:55.530 --> 00:21:59.234
  • Y'all so busy doing this?
  • 00:21:59.801 --> 00:22:38.173
  • Hello?
  • 00:22:38.373 --> 00:22:42.244
  • Yeah, i saw it.
  • 00:22:42.611 --> 00:22:46.114
  • It's crazy, ain't it?
  • 00:22:46.615 --> 00:22:48.383
  • I can't believe she did that.
  • 00:22:48.383 --> 00:22:51.553
  • And you spend so much time talking about people
  • 00:22:51.553 --> 00:22:53.588
  • Who don't even know you,
  • 00:22:53.588 --> 00:23:00.595
  • You don't even know them.
  • 00:23:01.163 --> 00:23:03.965
  • But you're so distracted
  • 00:23:03.965 --> 00:23:06.501
  • And know what your kid's doing,
  • 00:23:06.501 --> 00:23:09.070
  • What they see you doing.
  • 00:23:09.070 --> 00:23:12.507
  • You don't even know
  • 00:23:12.507 --> 00:23:13.308
  • Who they messaging on social media.
  • 00:23:13.308 --> 00:23:16.445
  • And you don't even know about their private snapchat,
  • 00:23:16.445 --> 00:23:19.948
  • And you don't even know what they watching
  • 00:23:19.948 --> 00:23:21.683
  • When their doors are closed,
  • 00:23:21.683 --> 00:23:23.618
  • Because you so busy entertaining pharaoh
  • 00:23:23.618 --> 00:23:27.289
  • That you have forgotten that pharaoh is also entertaining
  • 00:23:27.289 --> 00:23:30.492
  • Your kids.
  • 00:23:30.492 --> 00:23:37.132
  • We sitting here going back
  • 00:23:37.699 --> 00:23:38.934
  • And forth over things
  • 00:23:38.934 --> 00:23:42.571
  • That are eternal.
  • 00:23:43.004 --> 00:23:47.275
  • And we fail to realize.
  • 00:23:47.776 --> 00:23:51.279
  • What the purpose and the plan of the enemy is.
  • 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:55.050
  • It is to oppress us.
  • 00:23:55.050 --> 00:23:56.952
  • It is to depress us.
  • 00:23:56.952 --> 00:23:58.653
  • It is to get us into a lifestyle of anxiety and fear and worry.
  • 00:23:58.653 --> 00:24:06.194
  • And we,
  • 00:24:06.428 --> 00:24:07.128
  • Sitting here not in our word.
  • 00:24:07.128 --> 00:24:10.165
  • We don't pray.
  • 00:24:10.499 --> 00:24:12.934
  • We don't fast.
  • 00:24:12.934 --> 00:24:15.303
  • We don't set aside intentional time with god.
  • 00:24:15.303 --> 00:24:19.040
  • We throw him in our little bag
  • 00:24:19.641 --> 00:24:21.142
  • Every single day, and we ask him for the things we need.
  • 00:24:21.142 --> 00:24:24.646
  • Like he's a genie in a bottle and we tuck them away
  • 00:24:24.646 --> 00:24:27.682
  • When he no longer does what we want him to do,
  • 00:24:27.682 --> 00:24:30.785
  • Because we don't have a relationship,
  • 00:24:30.785 --> 00:24:33.655
  • We have an agreement with god.
  • 00:24:33.655 --> 00:24:36.958
  • And when things don't go according to our agreement,
  • 00:24:36.958 --> 00:24:40.495
  • We break our relationship.
  • 00:24:40.495 --> 00:24:44.032
  • And stephen is showing the sanhedrin council.
  • 00:24:44.032 --> 00:24:46.935
  • You are repeating a cycle
  • 00:24:46.935 --> 00:24:50.071
  • In the cycle that you are repeating
  • 00:24:50.071 --> 00:24:52.407
  • Is that you are using
  • 00:24:52.407 --> 00:24:54.676
  • Your relationship with god.
  • 00:24:54.676 --> 00:24:57.913
  • For your own platforms,
  • 00:24:58.413 --> 00:25:01.683
  • For your own promotion,
  • 00:25:01.683 --> 00:25:04.419
  • For your own influence.
  • 00:25:04.419 --> 00:25:07.322
  • And it has nothing to do with what he's called you to do.
  • 00:25:07.322 --> 00:25:11.092
  • And when you do that, you suppre
  • 00:25:11.092 --> 00:25:15.897
  • And you accuse me of blaspheming the temple,
  • 00:25:16.831 --> 00:25:20.001
  • Blaspheming god, and blaspheming moses.
  • 00:25:20.001 --> 00:25:23.271
  • But you don't even remember the story of what you did
  • 00:25:23.271 --> 00:25:26.274
  • To moses.
  • 00:25:26.274 --> 00:25:28.043
  • Well, family, it's the part of the broadcast
  • 00:25:28.043 --> 00:25:30.245
  • Where i have to share with you the bad news.
  • 00:25:30.245 --> 00:25:32.714
  • We're out of time,
  • 00:25:32.714 --> 00:25:34.015
  • But the word of god continues, and so we'll be right back here
  • 00:25:34.015 --> 00:25:37.319
  • Next week, going through this text
  • 00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:39.688
  • And seeing how it applies and impacts our lives,
  • 00:25:39.688 --> 00:25:43.291
  • I want to encourage you to do a couple of things.
  • 00:25:43.291 --> 00:25:45.493
  • The first one,
  • 00:25:45.493 --> 00:25:46.828
  • When you think about this broadcast,
  • 00:25:46.828 --> 00:25:48.296
  • Would you just take out some time to pray for us
  • 00:25:48.296 --> 00:25:50.832
  • As we desire to continue to spread the gospel
  • 00:25:50.832 --> 00:25:53.101
  • Of jesus christ?
  • 00:25:53.101 --> 00:25:54.102
  • We understand that any type of advancement
  • 00:25:54.102 --> 00:25:56.805
  • In the kingdom of god comes with challenges,
  • 00:25:56.805 --> 00:25:59.341
  • And there are some challenges that we are facing
  • 00:25:59.341 --> 00:26:01.576
  • In this society, in this culture and in this world
  • 00:26:01.576 --> 00:26:04.212
  • That we desperately need
  • 00:26:04.212 --> 00:26:05.413
  • The gospel of jesus christ to provide solutions in and for.
  • 00:26:05.413 --> 00:26:09.918
  • My prayer is that this broadcast provides
  • 00:26:09.918 --> 00:26:11.753
  • Solutions for those going through the various
  • 00:26:11.753 --> 00:26:13.722
  • Trials and tribulations of life,
  • 00:26:13.722 --> 00:26:15.724
  • And we can't continue to spread that message without your help.
  • 00:26:15.724 --> 00:26:19.160
  • So the second thing i want you to do is pray about partnering
  • 00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:21.997
  • With us.
  • 00:26:21.997 --> 00:26:22.998
  • Pray about helping us to continue the spread
  • 00:26:22.998 --> 00:26:25.734
  • Of the gospel of jesus christ.
  • 00:26:25.734 --> 00:26:27.869
  • I believe we have a mandate given to us by god.
  • 00:26:27.869 --> 00:26:30.372
  • Advance the gospel at all costs, and it takes incredible
  • 00:26:30.372 --> 00:26:34.509
  • Brothers and sisters
  • 00:26:34.509 --> 00:26:35.910
  • And partners like you to help us with that advancement.
  • 00:26:35.910 --> 00:26:39.814
  • And so our team is going to do
  • 00:26:39.814 --> 00:26:40.849
  • Some information at the bottom of the screen.
  • 00:26:40.849 --> 00:26:43.118
  • If this broadcast is bless you in any way,
  • 00:26:43.118 --> 00:26:45.987
  • If you feel the holy spirit

  • Tugging on your spirit in any way to help us, please do
  • 00:26:47.155 --> 00:26:50.625
  • So by following the instructions at the bottom of the screen.
  • 00:26:50.625 --> 00:26:53.695

  • Or the north florida area, stop by on a sunday visit.
