1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,040 Welcome to the God's goodness podcast where our mission is to encourage and highlight God's 2 00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:17,120 goodness and modern-day miracles. We are your hosts, Josh and Chelye Hankins. Today we have 3 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:24,200 with us a special guest. We have Joseph Chacon with us and he was introduced to us by a friend 4 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,480 you have heard before. She's done a couple episodes with us, Wendy Lawson. We met the 5 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,600 buckles through Wendy and then we met Joseph through the buckles and then Joseph already knows 6 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:40,520 Wendy. So it's just a small world and I love this. And then today what's really neat, maybe you'll 7 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:47,780 see this video in social media one day because Joseph brought with him a videographer. So we've 8 00:00:47,780 --> 00:00:53,240 been wanting to do that and he just brought him along. So we got all kinds of new things happening 9 00:00:53,240 --> 00:01:00,100 this month and I'm just so excited what God is doing and with that we're gonna have Joseph open 10 00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:06,200 us up with an opening prayer and then we'll get into it. Alright sounds good. For the Lord we 11 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:14,880 thank you for this great privilege to partner with you in spreading your word globally.

Amen. 18 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:04,080 So tell everybody where you're from Joseph. This is really exciting. Alright Joseph Jackon is from 19 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:12,920 Ghana originally here on the mission assignment and schooling as well and I'm blessed to be 20 00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:19,080 part of this program today. Awesome we're very glad to have you here. Thank you. I'm very excited. 21 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:27,960 So where would you like to start? Well, praying through this meeting the Lord wants me to just 22 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:36,000 speak on how to give yourself the better life that you deserve. I trust that everybody around 23 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:45,240 the world wants to experience a better life. For sure. Absolutely. Yeah and this is what miracles 24 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:51,240 are all about. Yeah this is how what miracles are all about. Miracles is about experiencing a 25 00:02:51,240 --> 00:03:01,440 better life. So personally that has been my desire growing up. I wanted to get a better life because 26 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:09,920 I don't like the kind of life I was experiencing. Yeah I just didn't like it. I just didn't like it. 27 00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:15,600 You knew something was better. I knew there's something better than what I was going through. I 28 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:27,280 had become an addict. Yeah and anytime I find myself smoking marjuana I just tell myself this 29 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:37,080 is not it. This shouldn't be me. I cannot continue my life like this and it's something better. I 30 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:43,600 just need something better than what I'm going through and it takes a miracle to actually 31 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:51,560 experience a better life and that's why every one of us needs miracles every day because every day 32 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:57,320 you wake up there's something better God wants to do in your life. Oh absolutely. Yeah absolutely. 33 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:03,520 He wants to give us a life abundantly not just a life right. He didn't just create us that we 34 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:10,600 just know about. He gave us a life that would be full of thrilling life. That's it. That's it. So 35 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:17,080 every time we wake up there's something new God wants to do and that craving should be in our 36 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:27,680 hearts that we need a better life. We need miracles every day and so I've always wanted to get this 37 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:35,280 new life that at least I wouldn't see myself in that mess but how to get out of it was a challenge. 38 00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:46,520 It was a challenge until one day something crazy happened. I was trying to become a reggae star as 39 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:56,960 well as Rastafarian stuff like that and largely disappointed when we wake up every day is an 40 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:03,760 opportunity for us to experience a better life. God does new things every day like the scripture 41 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:14,040 says that he daily loads us with his benefits. He daily loads us with benefits. And so I got a 42 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:20,360 contract from this recording studio and they signed me the last day for me to finish with my 43 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:27,200 recording so that I can get what they call front money pay me and then start working with me. The 44 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:35,360 studio got bent. There was fire outbreak. Very sad. I was just looking at this money I was about 45 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:41,800 to get and this is a fire outbreak and this thing is going on a mess. The studio engineer just 46 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:48,880 looked at me and he said my friend it looks like something is fighting you somewhere. And that 47 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:56,760 word was like a bullet that was shot in my heart. I went back home that afternoon and I said I need 48 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:06,120 to end it all. If something is fighting me I better die and leave that thing alone. In this point 49 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:11,440 you had no relationship. I had no relationship with Jesus. What were you recording at the studio? 50 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:21,520 Music. So you're an avid musician? Musician. Perfect. I was a musician. And so when I go home I 51 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:32,840 actually bought some poison that I was going to drink so that I ended all and I mixed the poison 52 00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:44,720 came out from my little ghetto sat on a bench and then I was just imagining how people will come 53 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:53,760 and see my dead body and pick me up and then how my family people are gonna conduct my funeral 54 00:06:53,760 --> 00:07:02,200 and all that. I was just imagining that in my mind. So you were prepared? I was prepared. When I saw a 55 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:11,960 young man with a red polo shirt on I still remember that image to date. A blue jeans and a brown 56 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:23,160 sneakers just walked by me and he said can I talk to you for a minute? He has a Bible in his hand. 57 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:35,840 I said why not? He didn't read a verse but he looked down on the road just looked down and drew two 58 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:46,960 boxes on the floor. One box looks that little and the other box looks huge. And he said my friend 59 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:55,640 these two football fields. The little one is filled with gold and the huge one is also filled 60 00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:04,440 with gold. If I ask you to choose which one are you going to choose? And I said I will choose the 61 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:17,720 huge one because that's abundant. I said I like the blue one. He said well you have been following 62 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:25,600 the little plot of land or field of land that is filled with little gold and you just lost it and 63 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:37,000 you wanted to end your life. But God asked me to tell you go shave your hair. I was in dreadlocks. 64 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:47,800 Go shave your hair. Find a church. Attend that church. God has a plan for your life. You will be 65 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:56,000 saved and then this huge land that is filled with gold will be yours. And so this man you've never 66 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,520 seen before in your life. I've never seen a more. He knew. He called you out for exactly what you were 67 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:08,000 going to do. He called me out. That's the blind providence right there. And right there that thought 68 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:21,520 of ending my life just vanished. That was it. That was it. It just vanished. But it took me another 69 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:33,600 two years for me to meet somebody who called introduced me to the kingdom of God. I didn't go 70 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,600 to church right there but they thought of ending my life dying drinking that poisonous stuff to 71 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:49,560 die just went away. And it took me another two years to get somebody to introduce me to the 72 00:09:49,560 --> 00:10:01,920 kingdom of God. Now remember the first day I was privileged to be part of a church service. I had 73 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:11,560 a pastor preacher, a powerful sermon. At the end of his sermon he quoted from 2 Corinthians 5 and 74 00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:24,280 17. And he said if any man be in Christ he is a new creation. All things have passed away. Behold 75 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:33,440 all things have become new. And I was like this is what I've been looking for all years. If any 76 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:39,960 man be in Christ he is a new creation. All things have passed. I don't need this old rocket life. 77 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:49,400 I don't need this kind of life I'm living. And it's something better. And if I can find this in 78 00:10:49,400 --> 00:11:03,280 Christ I better surrender. I better surrender my life to the Lord. So he called out people who 79 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:11,040 want to give their lives to Christ. He should come forth and then I run towards the altar, 80 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:28,480 gave my life to the Lord. Guess what? When I went back home I was expecting to see new life. All 81 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:39,000 those bad evil desires I just wanted them to leave me. But somehow somehow I didn't experience that 82 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:50,960 so the next time we went back to church same pastor preacher powerful message at the end of the 83 00:11:50,960 --> 00:12:03,000 message he quoted 2 Corinthians 5 17 as an altar call if anyone is in Christ he's a new creature. 84 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:09,960 All things are passed away behold all things have become new. And then I was sitting there with 85 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:18,040 this cousin of mine who introduced me to the kingdom of God took me to church I was sitting right 86 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:26,640 there beside him I was telling myself I need to go again. So he saw me moving towards the altar 87 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:33,000 and he tapped me he said Joseph where are you going? I said I'm going to give my life to the Lord. But 88 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:43,280 you did this last week I said you know something that didn't work. That didn't work for me and I'm 89 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:52,680 pretty sure this one is going to work. I went forward surrendered my life to Christ and I tell 90 00:12:52,680 --> 00:13:03,480 you before God and man from that day the new life that flows from the throne of God the new life 91 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:13,720 that Christ promises that he gives to all that are testing I've started having a feel of it and I 92 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:24,200 have never stopped getting tested for this life. My whole life was changed I could see Christ at work 93 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:36,440 in me. It's a slow process. Yeah I could see the change of life that Christ promised at work in me. 94 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:45,240 This thing is bigger than material things. This better life that we're talking about is bigger 95 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:54,400 than material things something bigger than that. Is that inner peace? Is that inner joy? Is that inner 96 00:13:54,400 --> 00:14:06,240 satisfaction that you are at peace with God? And you have the life of God flowing through you every 97 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:19,520 day. And listeners I just want to encourage you that you can get for yourself the better life you 98 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:29,000 deserve. You can get it. It's in Christ Jesus and if you want it you can get it. That is the 99 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:36,440 miraculous life that we're talking about is a life filled with miracles filled with abundance of 100 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:45,600 peace abundance of joy abundance of fulfillment which money cannot give you position cannot give 101 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:51,320 you says cannot give you I don't know what you're looking for not any other thing can give you that 102 00:14:51,320 --> 00:15:02,840 kind of life except you get into the kingdom of God. I love that you were not satisfied with how 103 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:08,920 you had to return the first time but you weren't satisfied with Christ working in you at that point 104 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:14,120 because you didn't see the evidence you feel the evidence and so you were determined to do it again. 105 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:19,200 Yes. And I love how that you knew that you knew that that time was going to work. Yeah. Right. So 106 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:25,160 God called you into completion. He called you and you did it and he said hey it's not done yet 107 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:30,000 and you weren't satisfied either like you guys were connected very well on that front that he 108 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:37,760 that he pursued you and then once you got a taste you pursued him back and I just love that I 109 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:45,000 absolutely love that I wish more people would understand that he does pursue us and at one point 110 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:53,080 we have to pursue him back that's not a one-way street. Beautiful. Beautiful analogy and so what 111 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:59,960 I want to take away points that I want to leave with our listeners today is that they will be 112 00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:06,840 properly introduced into the kingdom of God. There will be properly introduced. There are a lot of 113 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:15,720 people in church but they are not in Christ. There are a lot of people in church but they are not 114 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:27,320 in Christ. True. Jesus said to me years ago that your position in church is not a substitute to your 115 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:35,720 standing in Christ. Your position in church is not a substitute to your standing in Christ so you 116 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:46,600 can even be a clergy man and not be standing well in Christ. You can be a pastor and not be in Christ. 117 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:58,280 You can be anything in church and not be anyone in Christ because the scripture says if anyone be 118 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:08,040 in Christ not in church because Christ is a vehicle that transports us into the kingdom of God. 119 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:16,920 The only way. The only way. Right. But thank you. You can't take any of it. Christ is the only vehicle 120 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:23,880 that transports us into the kingdom of God. I am the way, the truth and the life. No one goes to the 121 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:31,320 kingdom of God. Goes to the Father except through me. So Christ is the only vehicle that transports us 122 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:38,360 into the kingdom of God. So if you are not in Him you cannot experience the better life that you 123 00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:47,880 deserve because He paid the price for you to live this better life. He paid that price so you deserve 124 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:54,120 it because Christ paid the price for you to live that better life. I keep telling people from that 125 00:17:54,120 --> 00:18:00,680 day till now I don't have problems. I don't know. I don't have problems. I don't have worries. 126 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:09,000 There are no issues in my life to worry about because He's taking all my burdens. He said come 127 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:18,120 unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest when you get into that vehicle. 128 00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:24,360 He will give you the rest indeed and that's the kind of miraculous life He wants to give to everyone. 129 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:31,400 People meet me and they say in church sometimes in church people will see me in church and they 130 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:36,600 say we need this kind of your excitement, your joy. Where do you get it from? In church. 131 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,040 That's Christ. That's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's 132 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:47,320 in church sometimes church will be over and then I'll see some rich folks in Chevrova because 133 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:52,440 they will talk me and then we want to talk to you after church and then after church they'll 134 00:18:52,440 --> 00:19:00,360 they'll go talk to me. Where did you get your joy from? Where did you get your happiness, your excitement? 135 00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:09,800 How is it that we see something inside of you we want? We are all in church but not everyone in 136 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:15,160 church is in Christ. Right and how funny it is that they turn to you they turn to the physical 137 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,880 tangible thing they can see to ask how you did it. Yeah. Instead of reading their Bible and 138 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,840 understanding that Jesus is joy. Thank you thank you thank you once again. You're doing it. The joy of 139 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,560 Lord is our strength right? Yeah. And so they're coming to you because you are a model of it. Yeah. 140 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:34,520 And they're forgetting who the author of it is. Thank you. So let's now let me show you three 141 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:40,680 examples from the Scriptures of how to be properly introduced into the kingdom of God. We see that 142 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:54,840 of Nicodemus in joint chapter three. Nicodemus was a teacher of the law. You know but he saw 143 00:19:54,840 --> 00:20:05,240 something about Jesus that he didn't have. And so Nicodemus he went to Jesus at night and was like 144 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:14,200 what's up? What's up? What's going on? Why are you so different? Why so different? I want to be like 145 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:23,800 you. I want to see the things I'm seeing in your ministry also in my ministry and Jesus properly 146 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:32,840 introduced Nicodemus into the kingdom. He said unless you are born again you cannot enter into 147 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:44,520 the kingdom unless you are born. And this is the mission link. People confess all right that Jesus 148 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:50,120 is their Lord but they are not born again. It's a whole experience to be born again. It's a whole 149 00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:58,200 experience from just saying Jesus Christ is your Lord. You know even the devils know that Jesus 150 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:05,400 Christ is Lord. Yes. Demons know that and they tremble the Scriptures say even demons believe 151 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:12,840 and they tremble. So being born again is a whole experience. It's a new experience that everybody 152 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:18,120 needs and that is the kind of experience that Nicodemus needed and Jesus said you've got to be 153 00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:24,520 born again and he was like do I have to as old as I am do I have to enter into my mother's womb and 154 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:31,560 be born you know and Jesus let him understood that that which is born of the Spirit the Spirit must 155 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:39,320 do a work in your life. The Spirit must do a work he convinced you of your sin. Yes oh thank God he does. 156 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:46,440 The sanctification process is a slow one but it's gradual and very gentle. Very gentle. 157 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:53,480 God needs to swear a breath. Yes he's very loving you know and let's look at the Sancturion in 158 00:21:53,480 --> 00:22:02,120 Acts chapter 10. He was a pious man but he wasn't born again. You know the Scriptures actually 159 00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:09,400 recommended him that he's a pious man dedicated man but he had not had that experience that new 160 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:20,440 bad experience and so look at how God sent an angel from heaven to his home. In the middle of the day 161 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,040 to announce to him now you're a good folk you've been given arms and praying always and all that 162 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:32,520 dedicated and your arms your your arms have ascended into heaven it's like a memorial in heaven and 163 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:41,400 all that we respect all those things but you need something better and look at how God initiated 164 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:51,320 his new birth by asking him to send people to go for Peter so Peter can introduce him properly 165 00:22:51,960 --> 00:23:01,000 to the kingdom properly introduce into the so that's my emphasis today that if we want to 166 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:09,480 experience the better life that we deserve we got to be properly introduced into the kingdom of God 167 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,880 and now my last example is that of the Ethiopian you know in the book of Acts chapter 8 168 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:25,800 26 to 40 he's been traveling from Ethiopia to Jerusalem suburb after suburb just to worship 169 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:32,840 just to serve the Lord meanwhile he didn't know the Lord he was saving 170 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:42,440 you know and look at how God initiated his new bed his new bed experience 171 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:51,800 God again has to interrupt Philip and say Philip you better go to this place and Philip 172 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:57,720 chased after that chariot caught up with that chariot he was reading from my desire he didn't 173 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:05,240 know what he was reading he asked Philip can you help me out and he was helped he was properly 174 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:13,960 introduced into the kingdom of God and how great is that that God sent somebody to that Ethiopian 175 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:19,320 man who was struggling with the word yeah a man that knew exactly how to answer the questions a man 176 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,640 he knew exactly how to speak the heart of God to this person how incredible that is 177 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:31,880 and God is so sending people yes and he's still sending angels too and God's goodness podcast 178 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:42,520 is that kind of instrument that God is using to reach somebody to be able to be properly introduced 179 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:50,680 into his kingdom so there are various avenues that God is using those day like social media 180 00:24:52,280 --> 00:25:01,560 the way of God is everywhere on social media these are God's avenues to reaching people with a 181 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,880 message of the kingdom so that they can properly be introduced into the kingdom of God 182 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:14,760 say it out i would like us to read from Colossians chapter one from verse 12 183 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:23,400 Colossians chapter one and from the verse 12 13 and 14 hopefully 184 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:35,320 is a given tense onto the father which have made us meet in other words which has qualified us 185 00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:48,600 to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light God has qualified us through the redemptive 186 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:57,240 work that Christ did on the cross all mankind Jesus didn't pay that price for just me and you 187 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:05,960 he paid that price for everybody those who are born today those who will be born tomorrow 188 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:12,600 those who will ever be born and those who were ever born into this world Jesus paid that price for 189 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:19,240 every one of them to come into this world and experience a better life the better life that 190 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:26,760 they deserve Jesus paid that price for them and look at verse 13 he said who have delivered us 191 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:35,240 from the power of darkness from the power of darkness you know the scripture says that darkness 192 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:45,640 has covered the world and grows darkness the people but God will arise on us and his glory 193 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:52,520 will be seen on us and he said who have delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us 194 00:26:52,520 --> 00:27:03,640 into the kingdom of his dear son translated us into the kingdom of his dear son see who you are 195 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:15,480 is not as important as where you are he translated us into the kingdom of his dear son who you are 196 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:22,760 is not as important as where you are when it comes to spiritual truths because 197 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:37,320 when you are born again your position has changed yes and you know what man lost in Adam was nothing 198 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:47,000 but divine positioning divine positioning is what man lost in Adam because the day 199 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:59,480 Adam disobeyed God God took him away from a certain position so when God said the day you 200 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:08,200 eat this fruit you shall die what is it talking about in the actual sense talking about you will 201 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:18,040 be relocated so Adam was relocated he was moved from the Garden of Eden to another place so what 202 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:25,240 we lost actually was positioning divine positioning so the Garden of Eden is not a geographical 203 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:33,000 location is a spiritual positioning where man will have access with God man will have access 204 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:41,560 with the kingdom of God man will have access to the blessings of God man will have access to the 205 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:48,280 peace of God man will have access to the joy of God man will have access to all the virtues that 206 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:58,040 are in God and all the benefits that are in God so what we lost in Adam was positioning and what 207 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:06,600 Jesus came to do was reposition us that is why he said without me no one goes it's a positioning 208 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:14,200 I am the way the truth and the life without me no one goes to the Father no one have access 209 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:21,480 to the Father it's a positioning and here Colossians say that we have been translated in other 210 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:29,960 ways transported we have been transported to a new location a new position so people of God 211 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:37,480 we need to understand this message about the kingdom is a message of repositioning 212 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:46,600 and if we get to understand this message of repositioning I'm telling you life on earth 213 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:54,440 will be a beautiful thing for everybody I agree 100% I think many Christians that are 214 00:29:54,440 --> 00:30:01,080 Christians to go to church get content with worshiping God get content with their life as is 215 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:06,040 because they have Christ and they miss out that you're mentioning access they have VIP access 216 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:11,080 they have backstage passes they can sit with the star right they can sit in Jesus's trailer they 217 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:17,400 can have 100% unfettered access to every part that God has to offer and they don't have to just sit 218 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:23,800 in the pew they don't just have to sit there and love God they can experience life abundantly 219 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,240 and I love that you kept mentioning you have access to things and that's what that brought to my 220 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:34,840 mind is like VIP access you're not just any person right you are a you are a son and your daughter of 221 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:40,280 the king of kings the most high king and I think that's tremendous the access just really brought 222 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:47,480 that to light that too many of us are content with our standing in God and we failed to miss out that 223 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:57,000 he has something better for us beautiful something better no that's good I'm taking this in thank 224 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:02,280 you you know he's got something better is I said something here let me just quote that before I 225 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:08,360 read the vase I said the place of effortless miracles and endless possibilities is living in 226 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:17,400 the kingdom of God the place of effortless miracles endless possibilities is living in the kingdom of 227 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:25,320 God so when you come into the kingdom of God you have come into a place of effortless miracles 228 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:30,840 endless possibilities are you assessing these effortless miracles are you assessing these 229 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:39,720 endless possibilities are we assessing them we just content like you said content we are not 230 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:45,640 assessing these effortless miracles we are not assessing these endless possibilities because 231 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:55,400 we have been content we are too content and it shouldn't be like that because we have been 232 00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:04,040 translated into a kingdom where we have access to endless possibilities I think a lot of it drives 233 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:13,480 from us having the gumption to say that God has saved me and that is enough and we're missing out 234 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:18,760 that God has also given us promise after promise after promise and none of his promises return void 235 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:24,280 none of his word returns void nothing that he has promised us will we not get we just have to reach 236 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:31,720 out and take what he is giving us that's awesome it comes back to the question of what salvation is 237 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:38,520 people doesn't even understand what salvation is I was sharing that with sister carol yesterday 238 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:47,880 night and I was like salvation to me this is how I define it and it's scriptural is freedom from 239 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:57,080 sin and it affects and dominion over sin and its effects freedom from sin and it affects 240 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:04,040 and dominion over sin and it affects let's just look at Romans chapter 6 and 23 very powerful verse 241 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:13,320 and that what salvation is look at that it says for the wages of sin is death I just said that 242 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:20,200 talking about what we lost in Christ because it's repose death is not the absence of a thing 243 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:27,880 death is the relocation of a thing death in spiritual sense is not the absence of a thing 244 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:36,920 people think that somebody's dead is absent nobody dies we only relocate so when your 245 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:45,320 relative or somebody dies in your mind you think I'm not gonna sit down or the person just relocated 246 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:51,560 because death is not the absence of a thing so when God told Adam the day you will eat this fruit 247 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:56,840 you shall surely die he was not talking about his absence he was talking about his relocation 248 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:03,800 I'm gonna take you out of this garden and put you somewhere else because that's what that means 249 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:09,080 and indeed when he did that God took him out of the garden and put him somewhere and God asked 250 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:15,320 cherubimms to God the garden so that he will not have access into the garden again he lost his VIP 251 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:22,840 accident he lost his VIP accident beautiful go to back state you see and so so that is it and so 252 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:30,360 roman says for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ 253 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:37,160 the gift of God is eternal life you see so that's what salvation is salvation is freedom from 254 00:34:37,720 --> 00:34:47,000 sin and its effects and dominion over sin and its effects so if your freedom from sin is not 255 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:54,920 yet established you cannot enjoy all the benefits of salvation if your dominion over sin and the 256 00:34:54,920 --> 00:35:02,600 effects of sin is not yet established you cannot enjoy all the benefits of salvation so it's something 257 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:08,840 you press on it's something you grow you keep growing you keep growing in Christ the more you 258 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:17,640 grow in Christ the more your star your salvation status gets higher without spiritual growth your 259 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:24,680 salvation status does not go higher and when your salvation status does not go higher you cannot 260 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:33,720 enjoy the benefits the VIP benefits you will be robbed of that and so the trick is the devil want to 261 00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:45,160 keep majority of we believers stacked where we are first grade we're not making any progress 262 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:54,520 spiritually any progress in terms of growing spiritually scripture says and Jesus Christ 263 00:35:54,520 --> 00:36:03,560 grew in wisdom and in stature and he was in favor with God and man he grew in the spirit 264 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:11,160 scripture says John the Baptist grew in the spirit he works strong in spirit 265 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:19,720 he works strong in spirit so spiritual growth is one thing that is not being emphasized very well 266 00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:26,360 in the church and it's also because people have not properly been introduced to the new bed because 267 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:35,320 the new bed what is born there is your spirit that is born so when your spirit is born you will do 268 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:41,960 everything to keep that spirit to grow you understand you will do everything to keep that 269 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:48,040 spirit to grow because it's not born as a baby like Peter said as new born babies desire the 270 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:52,840 sincere new born baby it's not talking about a little child talking about your spirit your new 271 00:36:52,840 --> 00:37:00,680 born spirit your new born special desire the sincere milk of the way so that it can grow by it 272 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:09,320 and so people have become stacked and not wanting to grow spiritually because in the first place 273 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:15,320 they are the way to introduce into the kingdom properly so that they can be born again like Jesus 274 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:21,480 introduced the kingdom to Nicodemus and he was born again like Philip introduced the kingdom 275 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:28,440 to the Ethiopian inoc and he was born again and baptized like Peter introduced the kingdom to the 276 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:35,800 centurion and he was born again and baptized in pew that's the connection I think too many of us 277 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:42,520 when we get born again fail to make the correlation that we're born again in the spirit and we assume 278 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:48,520 that our bodies our flesh our evil flesh is also born again and it is not and it has habits and it 279 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:53,320 has deep scars and grooves and trauma that it's going to fight the spirit so that it can stay 280 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,880 comfortable it can stay in sin and it can stay where it knows it is and that's why we have that 281 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:02,280 conflict when we have Christ it's because now we know that what we do is in sin and now we know 282 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:07,400 it we don't want that and I like the parable with the two wolves the one is evil the one is good 283 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:12,600 and which one grows is the one that you feed right so how do we and how do we fight this fight between 284 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:17,640 our flesh and our spirit well we feed the spirit we don't feed the lust of the flesh we feed the 285 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:23,400 spirit and therefore we can grow in Christ if we feed this this the flesh and we hope that the spirit 286 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:28,200 can convict us we're playing a very dangerous game of non-growing we're just staying where we are 287 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:32,200 we're just trying to be happy balancing this when God says no I want to give you life I don't give 288 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:36,840 you a bunch of money like take this spirit let that flesh go man you don't need it I will give you 289 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,600 everything you need don't worry about a thing and it's really hard for us because we're very 290 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:45,160 conceptual we see things and we want to blame our flesh for so many things this is just 291 00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:49,800 thanking the spirit for all that it's doing we want to we want to blame the flesh instead so we're 292 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:54,200 putting the focus on the wrong thing and I think we need to get back to a point where we put our 293 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:59,320 focus solely on the spirit and less on the flesh even if it's doing something you don't want the 294 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,400 more we focus on it the more we think about it so if we just ignore it completely and just build 295 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:08,600 that faith with Christ through our spirit and that born again will take a little bit of a different 296 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:15,240 shape for us beautiful you know what I like so much about why you said the more you feed the spirit 297 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:25,160 the more the spirit gains control over the flesh so and let's go back to the garden of Eden what 298 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:34,360 happened there was feeding go to man don't feed the flesh because remember he said the day you 299 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:44,120 eat of this fruit all right you shall surely die the second came in if you eat it you will know good 300 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:53,160 and evil you know good and evil you know good and evil this is when the that is carnality 301 00:39:53,160 --> 00:40:03,960 all right the knowledge of good and evil is carnality your sensuality has come alive 302 00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:13,160 that's why a child doesn't know good from evil because the child cannot be canal 303 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:21,000 and Jesus said unless you are converted and become like children you cannot enter 304 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:33,960 into the kingdom a child doesn't feed the flesh more than the spirit because the child is so spiritual 305 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:43,240 until he starts growing physically and he becomes more physical or canal than spiritual 306 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:48,920 100% the more he's surrounded in the world the more he lives in the world the more the world takes 307 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:54,440 its foothold on him beautiful and it's the reason why you should raise your kids in a certain way 308 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:59,960 so they grow up with strong legs in Christ and and they don't deviate they don't turn from it 309 00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:03,880 beautiful right that's that's exactly why that scripture is there because if you let them be 310 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,880 raised by the world yeah and then you're upset that your child doesn't go to church anymore and 311 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,760 doesn't believe in Jesus I mean that's your fault yeah that's true that's true the foundation was 312 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:21,240 wrong and so this thing about feeding is very critical to our progress in the kingdom feeding 313 00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:32,360 because that's what happened in Genesis God actually did not ask man not to eat the tree of life 314 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:37,400 because it was the tree of life and it was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you know 315 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:44,440 which is canality and the tree of life which is spirituality is the tree of life is an emblem 316 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:50,280 or symbol of spirituality and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is an emblem or symbol 317 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:57,880 of canality and so it started from the garden god said if you eat the tree of the knowledge of 318 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:04,680 good and you'll be canal and you'll be relocated you'll die you you'll die just let me read 319 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:13,640 Romans chapter 8 very powerful verses from this five it says that for they that are after the flesh 320 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:20,280 do mind the things of the flesh but they that are after the spirit the things of the spirit 321 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:30,600 for to be can only minded is death see when you feed your physical body you will be can only mind it 322 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:41,000 you'll be robbed of your position in Christ to be can only minded is that but to be spiritually 323 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:48,600 minded is life that is the tree of life is an emblem of the spirit spirituality so when you eat 324 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:56,600 which is the word of God the tree of life is the word of God so if you eat of the word of God 325 00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:03,400 you'll be spiritually minded and you'll get life and so people must come to understand that the word 326 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:10,760 of God is not just a book to read the word of God is not just a story is food for the human spirit 327 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:17,960 people don't even see the word of God as food for the human spirit because God kept consistently 328 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:26,680 say that I will give you pastors after my own heart who will feed you with my knowledge Jesus 329 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:33,320 confronted Peter in the book of John I think John 20 tries and said do you love me more than this 330 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:38,680 and he said yes you know I love you I said then feed my lambs feed my lambs feed my lambs feed my 331 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:44,840 lambs feed them with what with the knowledge of God with the word of God so we if we want 332 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:53,960 this better life that God has pictures for us through Christ's death and resurrection we've 333 00:43:53,960 --> 00:44:01,000 got to awake though there's a need for spiritual awakening there's a need for spiritual awakenings 334 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:07,480 that we are not conscious of our spirituality we've become too kind of that we are less concerned 335 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:18,840 about our the status of our spiritual life yeah yeah that's good it's something that I believe 336 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:26,840 American churches have drifted so far from in the last 60 years that we forget we're all we're all 337 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:33,000 about trying to get the numbers right we're trying to get certain things and and we don't pursue the 338 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:39,400 spirit as much as we try to pursue the numbers we try to pursue how many people we can convert 339 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:45,720 rather than the quality of the conversion yeah right so if I convert a thousand people but I 340 00:44:45,720 --> 00:44:51,400 don't disciple any of them what am I really done you've done nothing you know and and so I feel that 341 00:44:51,400 --> 00:45:00,600 that is a limp that we have in Western churches that we are more into filling the church than we 342 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:08,200 are filling the the body of believers with Christ beautiful beautiful that's an important truth 343 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:17,240 and it's not just in America it's worldwide I can only speak it's worldwide is an arrow from the 344 00:45:17,240 --> 00:45:23,960 pit of hell let me call this scripture Saint Corinthians 4 and 4 very powerful scripture 345 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:34,040 it says that in whom the God of this world have blinded the minds of them which believe not 346 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:40,280 less the light of the glorious gospel of Christ who is the image of God should shine on them 347 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:48,360 you know the devil has blinded is an arrow from the pit of hell that has been shot against the 348 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:56,680 church so that we will not upgrade our spiritual life we will be less concerned of of growing 349 00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:01,320 spiritually because that's the only way we can raise the army that can conquer the kingdom of 350 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:07,800 darkness here on earth when people are being built up in the Lord growing in the Lord will 351 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:14,360 become a formidable army that the enemy cannot defeat so when we don't have that army is it 352 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:20,200 the king if we open up our news we all know what's happening it looks like the devil is winning 353 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:26,760 you know everywhere in the world but it shouldn't be like that we shall win the kingdom of God 354 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:33,960 should win the church of Christ shall win we shall determine what shall happen in this world 355 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:41,160 how it shall happen and when it shall happen we are in control not the devil the devil is not 356 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:48,600 in control the devil is an illegal immigrant here on earth this wealth was not originally 357 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:54,520 created for him he was created for us and now that we have been repositioned we have to grow 358 00:46:54,520 --> 00:47:02,360 and take our proper place because the scripture says in Galatians 4 a hair as long as a hair remain 359 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:11,080 a child he cannot inherit his father's kingdom because he's still a child even though he's the 360 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:16,200 head of all things because as long as he remains a child and so the devil would do everything to 361 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:24,280 keep us spiritual children not spiritual adults not spiritually matured people he's afraid of our 362 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:29,160 full potential you're right if we knew what we could do and we were capable of with the authority 363 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:33,720 that Christ gives us would be dangerous even more dangerous to the devil thank you for that word 364 00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:39,240 he's afraid of our full potential so he will do everything he can to keep you from maximizing 365 00:47:39,240 --> 00:47:46,520 that potential he wants to keep you small yeah that's why I said we need an awakening you know 366 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:52,600 and but in teachings like this is what we'll bring that awakening so that the body of Christ can 367 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:59,640 wake and take our proper place right I mean if God is the ultimate being in the galaxy the ultimate 368 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:06,520 being ever known right in existence and he calls us as his children who are we to be anything less 369 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:12,600 than what he means than the children of the ultimate authority in the universe right thank you 370 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:18,440 like who are we to settle for less for being the devil's footstool for for being manipulated by 371 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:25,400 the enemy who are we we're daughters and sons of the most high god god almighty and he is above 372 00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:31,400 everything and he puts the devil at his footstool yeah not us so we're higher than the devil we 373 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:36,920 should start acting like it far higher than the devil far higher that's the truth far higher than 374 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:43,000 him well Joseph thank you so much for coming on today we really appreciate the sharing of the word 375 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:49,080 we appreciate your humble beginnings I really enjoyed listening to how you sought and pursued 376 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:57,480 the Lord I wish more people especially Christians would not be satisfied with where they are and 377 00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:03,480 seek him with their whole heart to say that I know there's something more for me this can't be it 378 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:09,880 this can't be that God got me this far to only have gotten me this far right and I prayed that for 379 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:15,800 everybody that listens to this podcast that they would know that God has a life for them full of 380 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:22,840 abundance full of joy full of not just contented like you'll be contented all things of course but 381 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:27,480 he wants to give you that joy and I'm very thankful for the words that you've spoken here today 382 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,680 Amen, it's grateful for having me 383 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:38,440 It's been a delight so I wanted to the Lord laid on my heart that we should do an altar call 384 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:45,000 and do you want to lead us in that like you know if anybody needs to come to Christ you know 385 00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:51,240 I have never led an altar call have you yeah I would imagine you have a submission yeah so would 386 00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:58,040 you do that that's right yeah all right so this is the greatest privilege that we want to give to 387 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:05,160 you right now you might find yourself in a church but has not properly been introduced to Christ 388 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:11,320 we want you to know today that Christ is the only vehicle by which you can be saved 389 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:18,120 he's paid a price for your salvation for your reconciliation with God and you need that in 390 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:23,960 a peace with God you need that total forgiveness of your sins he's done that job for you and we 391 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:29,720 want you to

to accept this work 393 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:43,160 that he's done for you by knowing that indeed you cannot you cannot do it on your own you need somebody 394 00:50:43,720 --> 00:50:50,280 and he's Jesus if you are convinced that God sent his only begotten Son into this world to pay the 395 00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:55,880 price for your sin and give you this precious eternal life we want you to say these beautiful 396 00:50:55,880 --> 00:51:02,520 ways that we are going to say just rehearse them with us with your whole heart and trust that a 397 00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:08,360 new work will begin in your life it's a work of salvation and then if you don't have a church yet 398 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:14,680 we will recommend that after this prayer you go look for a church and tell that pastor you've 399 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:20,440 accepted the Lord Jesus Christ and you want to begin the new life that is in Christ they will 400 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:26,840 help you and you will

God bless you and then we'll love to hear from you. Amen. Amen. And again, 413 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:46,360 don't settle for just being converted. If you receive Jesus in your heart, go seek 414 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:51,880 discipleship. Go seek a church. You can reach out to my wife through email or 415 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,520 however you get to Holy Spirit and I'll help her address and we'll find a church 416 00:52:55,520 --> 00:53:00,440 for you in your area. Just give us a call or email us. We'll figure it out because 417 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:04,280 it would be morally irresponsible for you to accept Christ and then go about 418 00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:08,240 your day without going further. We don't want you to flounder. No. We want you to 419 00:53:08,240 --> 00:53:12,920 thrive just like Jesus does.
