00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,960 Exactly. 210 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,760 This is an eye-opener, 211 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,800 and a lot of churches don't have understanding on Israel, 212 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,160 and they don't read Romans 11. 213 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,080 Right. 214 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,080 So I don't want to get too deep into Romans 11, 215 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,280 but I want to bring out this about verse 30. 216 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,280 It says, for you in times past have not believed God, 217 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,600 or not obeyed God, as it says in the margin, 218 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,200 yet have now obtained mercy. 219 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,040 Okay? 220 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:00,880 Mm-hmm. 221 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,600 Remember in verse one of chapter 12, 222 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,480 I beseech you therefore, brethren, 223 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,080 by the mercies of God. 224 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:07,920 Okay? 225 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,880 So let's look at these mercies. 226 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,400 You've obtained mercy through their unbelief. 227 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,840 Even so have these now not believed or not obeyed 228 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,000 that through your mercy, 229 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,880 they may also obtain mercy. 230 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,000 This word mercy here, 231 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,600 there's two words for mercy in this part of the chapter. 232 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:35,320 One of them is eliu, and I'm no Greek scholar, 233 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,200 but just from what I can read about these words, eliu, 234 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:44,200 it means to be compassionate, to have pity, to show mercy. 235 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,080 This is what God has given to us. 236 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,920 We have obtained mercy, this compassion, extended help, 237 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,240 and the Septuagint, which is the Greek translation 238 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,280 of the Hebrew scriptures. 239 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,320 This is the word that's used for chanan, 240 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,280 which means to bend or stoop in kindness to an inferior. 241 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,120 In other words, God, our great Father, 242 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,200 is bending down in his kindness to extend mercy to us 243 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,360 who don't deserve mercy. 244 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,720 Oh, wow. 245 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,880 So then it goes on to say in verse 31, 246 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,440 that through your mercy, your elios, 247 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,600 and this is kindness or goodwill towards the miserable 248 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,120 and the afflicted, joined with the desire to help them. 249 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,760 Okay, so as we look at people who need mercy, 250 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,480 whether we're talking about the Jewish people, 251 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,920 whether we're talking about Muslims, 252 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,320 whether we're talking about Buddhists, 253 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,400 whether we're talking about atheists, Hindus, 254 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,120 whosoever, the neighbor down the street, 255 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,480 when we recognize that they are miserable in their sins, 256 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,480 our mercy, our kindness extended toward them 257 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,000 gives them mercy. 258 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,840 And then in verse 32, it says that God has concluded them 259 00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:06,560 or shut them up together in unbelief 260 00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:08,960 that he may have mercy upon all. 261 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,640 So it's like he's putting everybody into one sack 262 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,640 so that they are like one body of miserable people 263 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,560 that need mercy, so that he can have mercy on all of them. 264 00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:22,880 It's a beautiful thought. 265 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,840 And then verse 33 is I think a key verse here. 266 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,760 Oh, the depth of the riches, 267 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,960 both of the wisdom and knowledge of God, 268 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,240 how unsearchable are his judgments 269 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,520 and his ways past finding out. 270 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,520 So it goes on to verse 36, for of him and through him 271 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,560 and to him are all things to him 272 00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:42,960 and to be glory forever. 273 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,360 We did a whole podcast on that one verse recently. 274 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,520 So this is what the therefore is there for. 275 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,400 It's about the mercies of God. 276 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,280 And this is a little bit different word for mercy 277 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,840 in chapter 12, verse one. 278 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,400 I beseech you therefore, brethren, 279 00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,800 by the mercies of God. 280 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,120 This mercies is oik tirmos. 281 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,840 And it's the Septuagint word for rahamim. 282 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,280 Now rahamim is one of the most important words. 283 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,160 It's the first word that God says about himself 284 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,120 when Moses is up in the mountain with him 285 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,520 and asking to see his glory. 286 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,200 The first thing he says about himself, 287 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,520 he shouts his name, roars his name, Yehovah, Yehovah! 288 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,120 And he uses this word rahum. 289 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,440 So he's saying about himself that he has mercies 290 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,920 like a mother has mercies for the child of her womb. 291 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,200 It's womb mercies. 292 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,640 So this is by the mercies of God. 293 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:47,520 So this is how God looks on us as his children. 294 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:52,520 He's looking on us as the offspring of his very being, 295 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,480 okay, his innermost being as though it were a womb. 296 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,920 Okay, he's got that kind of mercies. 297 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:05,920 So by those mercies, Paul is begging us, 298 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,560 present yourselves, present your bodies, okay? 299 00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:12,240 So let's look a little deeper 300 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,440 at what this body thing means. 301 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,520 We're being presented, 302 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,200 we're presenting our bodies a living sacrifice. 303 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,160 Now it's interesting that a sacrifice 304 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,440 is something that's done in a temple. 305 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,200 In a temple, right. 306 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,640 So where do we see that our bodies are the temple 307 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,040 of the Holy Spirit? 308 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,680 Yeah, Paul says that. 309 00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:38,000 In 1 Corinthians 6, 15 to 20, 310 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,080 and this is out of the Passion Translation. 311 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,480 Don't you know that your bodies belong to Christ 312 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,640 as his body parts? 313 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,560 Should one presume to take the members of Christ's body 314 00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:51,000 and make them into members of a harlot? 315 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,880 Absolutely not. 316 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,120 Aren't you aware of the fact 317 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,520 that when anyone sleeps with a prostitute, 318 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,280 he becomes a part of her and she becomes a part of him? 319 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,440 For it has been declared, the two become a single body, 320 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,600 but the one who joins himself to the Lord 321 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,400 is mingled into one spirit with him. 322 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,080 This is why you must keep running away 323 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,640 from sexual immorality. 324 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,800 For every other sin a person commits 325 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,000 is external to the body. 326 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,680 But immorality involves sinning against your own body. 327 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,760 Have you forgotten that your body is now the sacred temple 328 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,160 of the Spirit of holiness who lives in you? 329 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,600 You don't belong to yourself any longer, 330 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,440 for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, 331 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,160 lives inside your sanctuary. 332 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,760 You are God's expensive purchase, 333 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,960 paid for with tears of blood, 334 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,000 so by all means then use your body to bring glory to God. 335 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,520 So give your body to God. 336 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,640 Exactly, exactly. 337 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,280 So our bodies are sanctified 338 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,240 by the presence of the Holy Spirit, 339 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,440 and that's why we have to keep them holy. 340 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,240 We have to flee sexual immorality, that's a huge thing, 341 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,880 especially these days. 342 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,760 These days the world has transformed the minds 343 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,080 of people who are learning from the world, 344 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,040 learning from TikTok, learning from YouTube, 345 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,160 learning from movies, learning from TV, 346 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,360 learning from whatever's on the internet, 347 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,800 learning from illicit books and pornography 348 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:26,880 and all those kind of things. 349 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,560 All of those things are defiling 350 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,840 and they don't belong in our bodies. 351 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,240 When you allow your eyes to take in something, 352 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,080 that's part of your body, right? 353 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,120 When you allow your eyes to take in pornography, 354 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,560 you are polluting your body. 355 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,600 You're polluting the place 356 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,800 that is inhabited by the Holy Spirit. 357 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,640 Now it's interesting to me that the word in Greek 358 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,720 that's used here for the word temple, 359 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,400 that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, 360 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,160 that word refers to the most holy place, 361 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,000 like the Holy of Holies in the temple. 362 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,760 If you look at the temple of God, 363 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,680 like Solomon's temple and Herod's temple and so on, 364 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,080 this is the word that's used 365 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,840 to express the Holy of Holies. 366 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,240 So that's even more so. 367 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,800 But it's interesting to me that Romans 12.1 368 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,400 talks about being a living sacrifice. 369 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,840 Well, sacrifices are something 370 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,320 that are done in a temple. 371 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,480 Right. 372 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,760 So even when the high priest goes once a year 373 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,360 into the Holy of Holies, 374 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,880 first of all, he puts incense in there 375 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,040 to burn and fill the place with the smoke of the presence, 376 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,040 to protect him from going in there 377 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,440 because he's a mortal too. 378 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,560 A mortal, not immortal. 379 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,280 He's a mortal, but he has to come in with blood then, 380 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,840 a sacrifice. 381 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,760 Well, we know that Jesus did the blood sacrifice for us. 382 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,480 So because of his sacrifice that he did for us, 383 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,480 we who have asked him to come and be Lord of our lives, 384 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,120 we have this connection to him 385 00:17:10,120 --> 00:17:14,640 that should make us want to present ourselves 386 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,240 a sacrifice all the time, every day, 24-7. 387 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:23,240 So Romans 8 also goes into the idea of the difference 388 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,840 between the physical body and the spirit. 389 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,000 And what I want to do ultimately 390 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,440 is bring some more information from Dean Braxton 391 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,880 from his book, Deep Worship in Heaven, in just a moment. 392 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,200 But I want to grab this connection that we have 393 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,880 with the Holy Spirit to our bodies. 394 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,680 Because this is what's been working in me 395 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,800 since we had this conversation with Dean last week. 396 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,600 It's like, as I've given myself more to the Lord, 397 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,880 I'm finding that I'm feeling more of the Holy Spirit 398 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,880 operating in me in a more conscious way than before, 399 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,240 which I'm always longing for more, right? 400 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,360 Yes. 401 00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:10,120 So I'm finding this difference that's taking place in me 402 00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:12,440 like an awareness, more of an awareness 403 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,120 of the presence of God. 404 00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:17,880 So in Romans chapter eight, it's talking about 405 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,800 there is no condemnation, and here's another therefore, 406 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,040 so you have to go back up into Romans seven, 407 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,480 that it's because of Jesus Christ 408 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,480 that we can serve the law of God with our minds. 409 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,600 And then the flesh is busy with the law of sin. 410 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:42,280 So what I'm seeing here is this transfusion. 411 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,320 Is that even the right word? 412 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,560 Like a transfusion of the Spirit into our bodies, 413 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,760 that we walk in the nature of the Spirit. 414 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,160 Verse one of chapter eight, 415 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,800 there is therefore now no condemnation to them 416 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,160 which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh, 417 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,400 but after the Spirit. 418 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,400 So the more we cultivate a submission of our bodies to God, 419 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,880 the easier it is to let his Spirit lead us. 420 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:12,960 Yes, that's true. 421 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,880 You get the flesh under control, 422 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,360 it's easier to follow God. 423 00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:22,160 Yeah, because you're letting the Holy Spirit control you. 424 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,800 Instead of, you know, lots of times 425 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,600 we try to keep our flesh in check by our flesh, duh. 426 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,040 Duh, yeah. 427 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,600 It doesn't work very well. 428 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,200 You know, we try to do it by setting our will. 429 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,880 I'm not going to do this, or I am going to do that 430 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,960 like your New Year's resolutions. 431 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,720 Yeah, or like something fasting for something. 432 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,400 If you're just fasting, 433 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,400 but you know, you have maybe the right intent 434 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,320 with what you're fasting for. 435 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,840 But if you're not spending time with the Lord, 436 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,880 you know, it's kind of like a hypocritical fast maybe. 437 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:55,920 It's a little strong, 438 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,440 but it's kind of like what Jesus says. 439 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,800 They fast and let their faces be long, 440 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,640 and you know, until I'm fast and you know, 441 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,000 I'm on day number five and I feel it, you know. 442 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,600 Of course, you know, you can do that 443 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,320 if somebody asks you, why do you feel like this? 444 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,560 Or, you know, and all that, but you don't broadcast it. 445 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,600 It says, he'll reward you in secret. 446 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:19,440 Right. 447 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,280 You know? 448 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,120 But the thing that I find sometimes, 449 00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:26,560 at least when I'm fasting, when I'm fasting by the Spirit, 450 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,360 I've done the other kind too, 451 00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:31,640 that the more you submit yourself to the Lord, 452 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,640 the more his Spirit comes out in front. 453 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,360 And that's really what we're after, 454 00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:43,720 is the interaction between the Spirit and the flesh, you know? 455 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,600 Verse nine of Romans eight says, 456 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,200 but you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, 457 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,760 if it is that the Spirit of God dwells in you. 458 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,640 So in other words, are we letting the Holy Spirit 459 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,640 so indwell us that he's making a difference in us? 460 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,240 Are we letting him work all those fruit 461 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,840 of the Spirit into us? 462 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,280 You know, the fruit of the Spirit is just 463 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,800 as wonderful as the gifts are. 464 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,120 If you don't have the fruit of the Spirit, 465 00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:19,360 you're gonna be a clanging symbol. 466 00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:20,200 Yeah. 467 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,040 You know? 468 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,280 So moving on, the idea is that, 469 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,480 if so be that the Spirit of God dwells in you. 470 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,760 Now, if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, 471 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,640 he's none of his, and if Christ be in you, 472 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,120 the body is dead because of sin, 473 00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:37,600 but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 474 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:42,200 Now, a lot of times before this conversation 475 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,080 we had last week, we have had the idea that, 476 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,440 okay, the body's dead, we just need to treat it 477 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,080 like it's dead and, you know, kind of abuse it. 478 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,600 We have had a tendency to abuse it, 479 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,960 but I think that this has been a wake-up call 480 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,600 to see that our Father really loves our bodies too, 481 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,160 and that he wants us to present our bodies 482 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,840 in a way for him to work with. 483 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,640 Kind of different than what we've been thinking, you know? 484 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,000 There's a scripture in the Psalms that says, 485 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,360 "'As a father pities his children, 486 00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:20,440 "'so the Lord pities them that fear him, 487 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,800 "'for he knows our frame, he remembers that we are dust.'" 488 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:25,640 Okay? 489 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:30,400 So he's being this pitiful, kind, compassionate father 490 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,120 where, you know, we've kind of thought 491 00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:35,360 that we just need to take a whip to our bodies. 492 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:38,560 Because, I mean, there is a scripture about, 493 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,800 Paul talks about keeping his body under. 494 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,360 And don't they do that in some Catholic nations? 495 00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:45,440 Yeah, the Philippines. 496 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,000 Philippines, flagellation. 497 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,920 Yeah, they self-flagellate, they crucify themselves 498 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,520 on crosses, you know, during Holy Week. 499 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,440 That's not what the Lord is after. 500 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,640 But what he's after is our submission of our bodies 501 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,480 to him so that he can operate in them. 502 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,600 So verse 14, 503 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,120 "'As many as are led by the Spirit of God, 504 00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:08,680 "'they are the sons of God.'" 505 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:13,680 That's that yos-sonship that is the mature son 506 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,080 that knows how the father operates 507 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,760 and can operate in the family business 508 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,160 as a mature son able to write checks 509 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,440 and make contracts for dad, you know? 510 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:27,920 Those kind of things. 511 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,760 So what I wanted to share beyond these scriptures 512 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,160 is a few thoughts from Dean Braxton's book, 513 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,280 "'Deep Worship in Heaven.'" 514 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,280 I just love this book. 515 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,000 And I've been listening to the audible version of it 516 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,200 over and over. 517 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,240 And the more I listen to it, the more I get. 518 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,880 And the more I'm seeing that this is helping 519 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,120 to answer the prayer, 520 00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:55,920 "'Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth 521 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:56,840 "'as it is in heaven.'" 522 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,080 Because when we can see into heaven how it is in heaven, 523 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,160 we get an idea of how it should be on earth. 524 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,240 Here's how we should be operating on earth 525 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,320 because his spirit is working in us. 526 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:09,800 Yeah. 527 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,200 So in this book, 528 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,080 he describes what worship is like at the throne of God 529 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:21,080 and how everything in heaven is alive and intelligent. 530 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,080 Every blade of grass is alive and intelligent 531 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,600 and can talk to you. 532 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,440 The mountains, the atmospheres, the colors, 533 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,440 every single thing is an entity unto itself. 534 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,240 And it is totally individual and totally operating 535 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,640 with the presence of God, operating together. 536 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,960 And he talks about how everything brought its own praise 537 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,360 and everything had its own sound. 538 00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:52,720 Everything had its own motions 539 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,000 that were individually expressed. 540 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,800 You know, like when the music is going, 541 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,680 some people wanna get up and dance. 542 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,600 Other people wanna tap their toe. 543 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,120 Other people wanna sway. 544 00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:04,360 Other people want to do something, 545 00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:06,880 but they haven't let their bodies do it. 546 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,680 And those are some of the people I wanna speak to 547 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,120 and encourage you, go ahead and do what your body wants to do 548 00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:15,040 in worship to the Lord. 549 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,200 Because every movement, every single movement 550 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,760 is its own expression of worship to God. 551 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,040 And he sees it that way and he loves it. 552 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,680 He absolutely loves it. 553 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,080 So obviously I can't read you the whole book. 554 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,680 I would like to, but we're not gonna take time for that. 555 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,880 But I wanna just read a few paragraphs here and there 556 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,880 that give you an idea of here's how God sees 557 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,720 worship in heaven. 558 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:47,720 So let's translate that into our bodies here on earth, 559 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,160 letting Holy Spirit work through us, 560 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,760 letting Holy Spirit express through us, 561 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,480 letting Holy Spirit give us a new mindset. 562 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,480 Because that's the next verse in Romans 12, verse two. 563 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,400 It says, be not conformed to this world, but be transformed. 564 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,560 And that's like metamorphosis, 565 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,040 like going from being a caterpillar into a butterfly. 566 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,920 Be transformed by the renewing of your mind 567 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,960 that you may prove what is that good and acceptable 568 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,800 and perfect will of God. 569 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,280 So we want to participate with the Holy Spirit on earth 570 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,360 as it is in heaven. 571 00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:28,160 So let me just give you some picture 572 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,800 of what it's like in heaven. 573 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,800 So here's Dean talking 574 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,520 and he's watched these other beings giving praise to God. 575 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,800 Now it's his turn. 576 00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:40,880 Here I was about to give him praise, 577 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,920 a personal song of love. 578 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,560 I was so excited. 579 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,440 It brought me exceptional delight 580 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,240 in what I was about to do. 581 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,160 I was going to tell my father how much I loved him. 582 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,440 All the time that the angel of God was calling me to praise, 583 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,560 I had been looking forward to that moment 584 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,880 that I would glorify my father. 585 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:04,720 Being produced in me was a song of love for him. 586 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,160 As this was taking place, 587 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,360 I was moving into a more joyful moment, a happier moment. 588 00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:13,760 I was moving again from glory to glory. 589 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,320 As the praise song developed in me, 590 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,760 I was moving deeper into his glory. 591 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,600 It was not that the moments before were not great. 592 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,400 It was just that the next occasion of singing to my father 593 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,560 was making every second in heaven even greater. 594 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,720 It was like the moment I had been in before had not existed 595 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,080 because the moment I was about to enter into 596 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,200 was more remarkable. 597 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,520 It was like I had been so alive before, 598 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,440 but now I was about to access newer life. 599 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,320 Things seemed to get better and better every moment in heaven 600 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,280 as I worshiped my father. 601 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,640 I knew this was happening because of each sound 602 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,840 of pure praise that was coming out of me. 603 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,560 As each love song and real love tributes came out of me, 604 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,720 I was fulfilling my purpose in worshiping him. 605 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,200 I was complete in praising my father 606 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,240 along with all of his creations. 607 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,080 The Holy Spirit residing on the inside of me 608 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,280 was enhancing the praise that was coming out of me. 609 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,960 This great tribute that I was presenting to my father 610 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,000 and great zeal in a love song 611 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,360 joined with his passion 612 00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:20,160 and I had the privilege to give it to him. 613 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,080 It was much more than any love song I had ever sung before. 614 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,600 I had only one agenda with this song of devotion 615 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,000 that was to honor him. 616 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,320 I desired to honor him 617 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,920 as I had never honored my father before. 618 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,120 I wanted to sing to him how much I welcomed his love for me. 619 00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:41,120 I knew in that worship of praise that he cherished me. 620 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,280 I wanted my song to bring my father great joy. 621 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,960 It was my personal song of love to him. 622 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,200 I was expressing my affection for him in a song 623 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,920 because I could. 624 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,840 It did not matter who else could hear me give my gift 625 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,480 to the gift giver. 626 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,200 I received a gift from him, 627 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,000 a gift of love created by my father for me. 628 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,800 He also created me for his gift of love and I knew it. 629 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,320 I wanted to thank him with my praise song. 630 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,600 I understood my voice was a gift from him. 631 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,760 He gave me a voice to thank him. 632 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,600 He created my voice to rejoice in him. 633 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,160 My voice of love was made for my father to hear me. 634 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,480 What a gift. 635 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,360 He would listen to me. 636 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,720 I had received the pleasure of knowing 637 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,520 that he is hearing me. 638 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,000 My father is hearing my love song made for him. 639 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,520 I was satisfied with the two of us. 640 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,560 He was hearing me and knowing how much I loved him. 641 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,320 Now was the time to stand. 642 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,080 As I started to rise to my feet 643 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,480 and stand with my arms at my sides, 644 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,320 my excitement grew as I moved inch by inch upward. 645 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,720 As I moved to stand to my feet, 646 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,120 I knew I was moving into a posture, 647 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,680 a stance that had been appointed by God Almighty 648 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,080 for me to take on in worship. 649 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,240 I then started to move my arms, 650 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,520 lifting them from my sides. 651 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,920 As I elevated them upward with my palms open, 652 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,720 I knew I was going to give my praise to my father as a gift. 653 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,120 Standing with arms up and palms open heavenward, 654 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,160 I knew I was ready to worship him. 655 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,000 This position was my gift to him, 656 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,760 my stance of praise to my father at that chosen moment. 657 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,320 Now, I just, I wanna back up and say that before that, 658 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,760 he was prostrate on the floor before the Lord. 659 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,440 And he had his hands extended out, 660 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,040 giving praise just in that expression 661 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,780 of his posture on the floor. 662 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,960 Deep within me was a substance made to present 663 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,480 to my father in love. 664 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,920 What it was, I have nothing on earth to compare it with. 665 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,760 I just knew that it was only for my God. 666 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,640 From this inner part of my inner being 667 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,440 was a sound of praise. 668 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,700 The Holy Spirit on the inside of me helped me to make it, 669 00:30:54,700 --> 00:30:57,260 and it came rolling up out of my eternal body 670 00:30:57,260 --> 00:30:58,760 with great joy. 671 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,280 Everything that is passed on the inside of me 672 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,800 expressed extreme happiness. 673 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,780 It was as if the substance of praise 674 00:31:05,780 --> 00:31:08,480 was moving from the core of my spirit 675 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,220 and passing the inner parts of me 676 00:31:10,220 --> 00:31:12,200 on its way to its destiny. 677 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,000 It seemed to give out life in a greater way. 678 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,520 It was like this praise song on the inside of me 679 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,840 had become my food in heaven. 680 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,960 As it passed each part of my inner being 681 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,560 on its way out of me, 682 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,560 everything within me was cheering it on 683 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,560 as it moved up through me. 684 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,320 This tribute ran through me for my mighty father, 685 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,440 the one who created me, the one who loves me, 686 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:33,640 the one who cares for me, 687 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,240 and the one who had brought me there 688 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,640 and would never let me go. 689 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,320 As this sound of pure love moved within me 690 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,360 to a place to be launched, 691 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,240 I experienced another expansion of excitement. 692 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,760 As this praise song advanced upward, 693 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,800 there seemed to be an eagerness from it, 694 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,600 and me, to be presented to my Father Almighty. 695 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,960 As my mouth was opening, 696 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,600 just the very motion of the opening of my mouth in worship, 697 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,560 I was filled with pure joy and love. 698 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,800 That movement of my upper lip, 699 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,720 separating from my bottom lip, was worship. 700 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,960 All of a sudden, my tongue started to form sounds, 701 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,880 and as I was ready to send forth a love song, 702 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,120 a song of true adoration, a song of praise, 703 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,760 a song of me giving myself to my Father in worship, 704 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,160 my mouth seemed like it had its joy, 705 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,960 its vibration of gladness, 706 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,120 and it trembled with pure joy. 707 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,560 It did this as I was forming it 708 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,120 to release my song of praise. 709 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,360 Just as this song of praise seemed to jump 710 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:36,800 from my tongue in joy, 711 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,000 another song was rising within me. 712 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,040 It was following after the first. 713 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,040 It was like the first song was pulling 714 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,880 the next praise song out of me. 715 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:49,040 My lips again had great joy in being part of this new song. 716 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,600 This tribute and song also launched itself 717 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,000 in its joy towards my Father. 718 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,240 These songs of praise that were produced in me 719 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,320 seemed to become faster and faster 720 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,120 as each left my mouth toward the throne of God. 721 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,600 The sounds of praise were coming from my tongue 722 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,440 and my lips with such happiness. 723 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,080 This joy was happening because I was able to tell him 724 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,720 how much I loved him in song and sound. 725 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,720 The gratitude towards my mighty Father 726 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,680 I could now express in song and music. 727 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,200 And he goes on to tell about how these sounds 728 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,200 that came out of him were joined by the atmospheres 729 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,040 and the colors and even the water in heaven 730 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,360 were joining their praise to his praise. 731 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,480 That's just beautiful. 732 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:33,360 Yeah, yeah. 733 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,320 And it's so hard to picture, you know. 734 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,360 I'm trying to comprehend what he actually saw. 735 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,000 Yeah, I'm just gonna read just a little more. 736 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,200 I'm skipping a good bit. 737 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:43,760 Yeah. 738 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,680 Now it was my turn to bow before him 739 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,400 and give him honor with my actions and with my gestures. 740 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,480 I lowered my hands and my arms to my side slowly. 741 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,120 It was like I was moving in slow motion. 742 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,360 Then I took my hands and brought them together 743 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,280 as if praying to my Father. 744 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,760 I was not praying, but that is how I wanted 745 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,200 to honor him with my hands. 746 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,520 I then started to bow my head 747 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,680 and experienced much reverence for him 748 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,480 as I made that motion of lowering it in praise. 749 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:12,880 Do you see what I'm trying to get to 750 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,480 that we begin to see that our sounds 751 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,040 and our songs and our motions 752 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,400 because the Holy Spirit is inhabiting us. 753 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,640 When we have given ourselves to God, 754 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,080 when we've given our bod to God. 755 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:26,880 Give your bod. 756 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:32,880 Our bod is expressing under the leading of the Holy Spirit. 757 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,720 There's something about giving ourselves more, 758 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,120 more so than we ever have before. 759 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,200 And you can feel that more when you're worshiping. 760 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:41,760 Yeah. 761 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,680 I think it used to be leading worship, 762 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:44,960 you know, your concentration. 763 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:45,760 You do anyway. 764 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:46,960 You have to look at chords. 765 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:47,520 Mm-hmm. 766 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,920 You know, you're looking at notes maybe and all that. 767 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,080 But you have to kind of let your spirit go to just be free. 768 00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:56,480 You know, and sometimes you close your eyes 769 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,280 and you might mess up a chord, who knows. 770 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,200 But, you know, you just go on. 771 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,480 It's true. It's true. 772 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:03,440 And you don't stumble. 773 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,440 Secrets of a worship leader. 774 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:07,440 Confession of. 775 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,000 Yeah. 776 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,840 So he goes on to say, I knew it brought joy to my father. 777 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,600 And we have to get that. 778 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,040 We have to get it that the things that we do 779 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,720 when we're in a worship service, 780 00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:22,720 and we're just, you know, sometimes it's we're doing stuff by rote. 781 00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:23,280 Mm-hmm. 782 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,080 And that is not what we were born to do. 783 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,040 You know, in a lot of your denominational churches, 784 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,640 they do the doxology. 785 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:31,040 Yeah. 786 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:31,760 I love it. 787 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,200 So right after the offering. 788 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:33,760 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 789 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,720 It goes back. 790 00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:37,440 Everybody stand, the piano organ hits the chord. 791 00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:42,800 Praise God from whom all blessings flow. 792 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:43,520 And we love it. 793 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:44,400 We love to sing it. 794 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,440 But how many people realize what they're singing? 795 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:48,880 I know. 796 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:49,680 Creatures here below. 797 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:50,480 Here we are. 798 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,080 You know, we don't have a comprehension of his glory. 799 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:54,800 Mm-hmm. 800 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,640 Because we go by what we feel. 801 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:57,360 Yeah. 802 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,720 Unless, you know, you can see your eyes are open 803 00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:02,400 that you can see in the spirit. 804 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:02,960 Right. 805 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,560 You know, it's just like, wow. 806 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,960 And people that do that, the experiences, 807 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,400 they can see angels and. 808 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:08,960 Yeah. 809 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,240 What's going on in heaven? 810 00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:13,360 Like Dean, I remember he was sitting on the stage once. 811 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,000 He says, you know, I can I live in two realms. 812 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,320 I live in two realms a lot of time. 813 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,560 I'm watching what's going on in the audience. 814 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,400 He wasn't the speaker, but I'm watching what's going on in heaven. 815 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,240 Because he's been there. 816 00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:26,880 Right. 817 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,360 You know, and he has that direct connection. 818 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,080 Exactly. 819 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:30,720 Hotline. 820 00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:35,040 So as we give our body to God, even when we're singing something 821 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:40,880 that we sang a hundred thousand times already without really getting it. 822 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:41,360 Yeah. 823 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:42,400 Now we can start to get it. 824 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:42,960 Now to get it. 825 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:47,760 That this is bringing real genuine praise to our heavenly father. 826 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,200 And he is enjoying it. 827 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,720 And, you know, let our hearts be joined to it. 828 00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:56,400 Let our hearts be connecting with our father while we're doing this. 829 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,040 So let me just read a little more. 830 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,680 I knew it brought joy to my father. 831 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,600 All I could do was put a smile on my face. 832 00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:08,320 It was not just any smile. 833 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,640 It was a smile of knowing I had brought joy to the one who made me glad. 834 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,440 I knew from that moment that joy was and is a part of me. 835 00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:23,440 I could now rest in that joy forever because of the happiness I brought to my father. 836 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:29,920 So that brings us back to last week's podcast with Dean about the importance of rest. 837 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,160 Being a part of our authority. 838 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:34,400 That's so good. 839 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,960 As we rest in him, as we trust in him. 840 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,360 It's the interaction that we have with him that increases our authority. 841 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:41,860 Yeah. 842 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:47,680 You know, sometimes you hear people have an experience and they're flat on their back and 843 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,000 then they're quiet enough, you know, because they're not moving around. 844 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,960 They can't, you know, and they can hear God better. 845 00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:01,120 And sometimes I've heard people say, you know, God, let this happen to me so I would hear him better. 846 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,600 You know, God doesn't do it to you, but he lets things happen. 847 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,520 Yes, he puts us in a position where we have an opportunity. 848 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:10,800 You have to hear it. 849 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:11,300 Yeah. 850 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,480 Every terrible thing has a door to God in it. 851 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:14,980 Wow. 852 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,240 So I just want to finish with this. 853 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,960 I've skipped a whole bunch and it's about dancing before the Lord. 854 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,600 So it's my turn to dance. 855 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,640 Now it became my turn to stand up to meet the others in the sky to dance. 856 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,720 I started to lift off the ground and into the atmosphere of heaven. 857 00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:39,680 I too was being carried upward by the sounds of praise coming from the music of the skies, 858 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:45,600 the voices of honor coming from the children of God and the music crafted by the precious creations of God. 859 00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:52,000 As I took my place, I started to dance with the atmospheres, trees, grasses, mountains, 860 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,400 flowers, and much, much, much more. 861 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,360 I danced in celebration to my father because of what Jesus had done. 862 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,160 Everything about me wanted to dance. 863 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:06,800 I seemed just to vibrate with love and joy for my father. 864 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:12,400 There were no words on earth created to give even a close description of how I danced in praise. 865 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,080 My dance style was very multifaceted in itself. 866 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,520 I did not want to stop. 867 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:25,760 I, a creation of God and a child of the Almighty, had every reason to dance in praise to my Creator. 868 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:26,560 Beautiful. 869 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,840 You know, let everything that has breath praise him. 870 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,200 For he's the Lord. 871 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,280 And that's about giving our body to God. 872 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:34,800 Our body has breath. 873 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:42,320 So that's why we are connected in life to him. 874 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,960 And because we've been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, 875 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,440 and because we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony, 876 00:39:51,440 --> 00:40:00,960 we have an opportunity to go beyond what our minds have allowed us to do before. 877 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,360 Because there's more. 878 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,040 There's always going to be more. 879 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:12,400 And I just want to challenge us all to give our body to God in a whole new way. 880 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,800 I've got way more material on this that I think we can go into next time. 881 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:18,880 And I just want to pray. 882 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:24,480 Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we thank you for this challenge 883 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:31,920 that you have given to us to enter into a new mindset of what it means 884 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,880 to give ourselves to you as a living sacrifice. 885 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,520 Lord, you are the one who lives inside of us. 886 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,400 And we are clothed in you. 887 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,800 We're clothed in your righteousness. 888 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,640 We're clothed in your glory. 889 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:55,600 Lord, help us to grasp even more day by day in the way that we give ourselves to you, Lord, 890 00:40:55,600 --> 00:41:02,400 that your purposes will be accomplished in us daily as we give glory to you 891 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,320 for what you have done for us to redeem us from the curse of the law, 892 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:12,080 to redeem us from the fallen ways that our bodies are accustomed to. 893 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:16,160 Lord, we just thank you that you are giving us a glimpse into heaven 894 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,440 so that we can live on earth as it is in heaven. 895 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,040 In Jesus' name. 896 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:22,320 Amen. 897 00:41:22,320 -->
