WEBVTT 00:00:18.059 --> 00:00:20.239 the King Jesus to the Holy Spirit. Let's give 00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:30.460 God Almighty a big hand clap. We just love your 00:00:30.460 --> 00:00:34.380 pastor and his precious wife and all the kids 00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:41.679 too. Let's give them a big hand clap. We're very 00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:43.740 honored. We always look forward to being with 00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:52.280 you. There's such a... a presence, a glory, and 00:00:52.280 --> 00:01:02.579 a freedom that lives in this place. And if the 00:01:02.579 --> 00:01:05.920 truth be told, sometimes we just really don't 00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:12.500 know what we have. Sometimes we don't know. And 00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:18.319 so I'm going to teach In the second service, 00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:20.620 we'll probably do some personal ministry because 00:01:20.620 --> 00:01:25.500 we'll have time. The ministry that we'll do now 00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:29.599 will be in the Word. And so, you know, this weekend 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.780 we've been talking about the Spirit of Revelation, 00:01:33.939 --> 00:01:36.260 you know, being able to see in the Holy Spirit, 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:39.819 hear in the Holy Spirit, sense no things by the 00:01:39.819 --> 00:01:45.319 Holy Spirit. And it's possible that some people 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.700 may... may associate all of that with just church 00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:53.359 or gatherings or, you know, God's people coming 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:59.640 together. But it's much more than that. In fact, 00:01:59.739 --> 00:02:02.480 if whoever controls the screen, if you'll put 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.959 the book of John up, chapter 10, verse 27, pick 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:14.159 a version, whatever you prefer. Whatever they 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.620 put up, essentially it's Jesus talking. Look 00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:18.879 at somebody and say, you know, you might want 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:26.939 to listen to Jesus just a little bit. Jesus says, 00:02:27.060 --> 00:02:29.979 my sheep hear my voice. I know them and they 00:02:29.979 --> 00:02:35.840 follow me. So I've been married to Deborah who 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:37.620 will probably be here the next service. She was 00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:41.740 resting and I let her rest. I mean, after all, 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.439 she runs around with me all over the United States. 00:02:45.659 --> 00:02:47.520 We'll be home one day and then we go to Houston 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:57.000 to do a firestorm conference. I like fire. Anyway, 00:02:57.340 --> 00:03:02.439 I'll try to behave. So we've been married 42 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:08.580 years. And when I saw her, the Holy Spirit said, 00:03:08.659 --> 00:03:11.520 that's going to be your wife. This is why you 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:16.560 need to hear the voice of God. And it was the 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.479 only woman that the Lord told me, the only one, 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.319 you know, because other people, you know, would 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:30.740 ever look good. So, knowing Jesus and following 00:03:30.740 --> 00:03:41.729 Jesus can really be a blessing to you. You know, 00:03:41.770 --> 00:03:43.349 to see in the spirit, to hear in the spirit, 00:03:43.389 --> 00:03:45.569 to sense things in the spirit. Let me just ask 00:03:45.569 --> 00:03:50.490 this. How many people are not married here this 00:03:50.490 --> 00:03:53.590 morning? Raise your hands. Okay, I want the unmarried 00:03:53.590 --> 00:03:58.090 people to stand to your feet. I want to pray 00:03:58.090 --> 00:04:03.909 for you unmarried people. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. 00:04:03.930 --> 00:04:05.870 If you don't want to get married again, sit down. 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.100 No, no, no, listen, listen, listen, listen. I'm 00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:18.459 a teacher in a minute, but this is just like 00:04:18.459 --> 00:04:22.519 too much fun. Anyway, and I'm not, don't ask 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.500 me the angel's name because I'm not going to 00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:32.019 tell you. But there is a category of angels that 00:04:32.019 --> 00:04:37.959 actually bring people together. Really. Look 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:39.240 at somebody and say, I'm starting to like this 00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:50.600 service already. And I'm going to leave that 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:54.560 alone. I'm just not. Okay, so if you're seated, 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.459 let's pray for the people who are standing because 00:04:58.459 --> 00:05:01.939 they'll probably be a lot happier if they got 00:05:01.939 --> 00:05:06.279 a mate. And if they're happier, look at somebody 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:12.720 and say, you'll be happier too. Okay, so bow 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:19.439 your heads. So Holy Father, I want you to release 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.980 an angel for everybody who is standing who wants 00:05:23.980 --> 00:05:29.019 a mate. Lord Isaiah 34, 16 says, none shall lack 00:05:29.019 --> 00:05:32.699 a mate. And so Holy Father talks about the Holy 00:05:32.699 --> 00:05:38.100 Spirit gathering. people together. And so Lord, 00:05:38.180 --> 00:05:42.639 as people follow your son Jesus and hear your 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.079 voice, let people meet at the right place at 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:51.100 the right time, providentially. And I thank you, 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.879 Father, that you're doing it, that your angels 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.339 are being released, that you're bringing people 00:05:57.339 --> 00:06:00.480 together in Jesus' name. Can we take about 20 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:12.899 seconds to give the Lord a big hand clap? Amen. 00:06:12.899 --> 00:06:19.800 You may be seated. And, you know, all you women 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.959 that are married, you should really pray for 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:30.740 your husbands. No, I really mean for you to. 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:38.379 So, you know, Deborah and I decided we wanted 00:06:38.379 --> 00:06:47.290 to get a house. And so she decided she wanted 00:06:47.290 --> 00:06:49.790 this one house. It was Victorian style house. 00:06:51.209 --> 00:07:02.410 I didn't like it and I didn't want it. Not my 00:07:02.410 --> 00:07:06.949 style. So this is why you sisters should pray. 00:07:07.110 --> 00:07:11.660 So she takes me to this house. And I'm looking 00:07:11.660 --> 00:07:16.160 at this house. And then all of a sudden, I see 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:20.899 this really big angel on the right and the left. 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:27.639 Big angels, chiseled, muscular. And all of a 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:31.639 sudden, I'm reading the sign. You get in this 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:39.579 house. Apparently, apparently, father loves her. 00:07:40.300 --> 00:07:50.980 More than me. This is why you sisters should 00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:58.019 pray the brother can see in the spirit. Y 'all 00:07:58.019 --> 00:07:59.819 think I'm joking, but I was serious as eternal 00:07:59.819 --> 00:08:04.019 life. So why do you want to hear God's voice? 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.300 Well. Somehow Debra and I decided we wanted to 00:08:09.300 --> 00:08:18.300 get a new vehicle. And so we go looking and we 00:08:18.300 --> 00:08:23.379 get in this SUV. And as soon as we're in the 00:08:23.379 --> 00:08:26.560 SUV, all of a sudden I had the feeling, just 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.339 came out of nowhere, that if we buy this SUV, 00:08:29.579 --> 00:08:33.240 we're going to have an accident. And then Debra 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.549 said, you know what? I feel like if we get this, 00:08:36.590 --> 00:08:40.950 we're going to have an accident. We ain't getting 00:08:40.950 --> 00:08:45.690 this. Look at somebody and say, it can help you 00:08:45.690 --> 00:08:50.649 find a spouse. Everybody say the voice. It can 00:08:50.649 --> 00:08:54.389 help you find a spouse. Find the right vehicle. 00:08:55.570 --> 00:08:58.769 And get the house. Look at somebody and say, 00:08:58.809 --> 00:09:05.250 you need to know Jesus. Because this is what 00:09:05.250 --> 00:09:09.009 people do. Sometimes people look at the gifts 00:09:09.009 --> 00:09:13.470 of the Holy Spirit as something for the gatherings. 00:09:15.610 --> 00:09:23.490 And the grace of God can save your life. I was 00:09:23.490 --> 00:09:27.549 in college, and we were going to go to a collegiate 00:09:27.549 --> 00:09:29.950 basketball game. I was in Bible College. And 00:09:29.950 --> 00:09:32.049 I showed a dollar, so I went to Tom Hufty, and 00:09:32.049 --> 00:09:35.460 I said, borrow the dollar. And I was going with 00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:37.820 Joel and another friend of ours. Her name was 00:09:37.820 --> 00:09:43.419 Dawn. And I go up to Joel's room, and he's looking 00:09:43.419 --> 00:09:49.860 for his keys. And all of a sudden, I go into 00:09:49.860 --> 00:09:55.019 a vision. And in the vision, I see the spirit 00:09:55.019 --> 00:09:58.799 of death walk up behind me. Immediately, I became 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.710 sick. And then... I had a vision, and in the 00:10:03.710 --> 00:10:09.309 vision, we had already been to the game and we 00:10:09.309 --> 00:10:13.990 were returning, and Joel and I were in the front. 00:10:15.230 --> 00:10:19.690 And Joel was going to pass late, and I told him 00:10:19.690 --> 00:10:21.710 not to, but he was going to be stubborn and do 00:10:21.710 --> 00:10:25.350 it anyway. And we were going to crash, and they 00:10:25.350 --> 00:10:26.870 were going to survive, and I was going to die. 00:10:28.129 --> 00:10:29.610 So I'm standing there, and all of a sudden I'm 00:10:29.610 --> 00:10:32.940 sick. I sit on the bed. And I turned to Joel, 00:10:33.019 --> 00:10:36.360 and I said, hey, you got any problems with your 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:40.659 driving? To which he says, yeah, sometimes I 00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:47.679 pass late. I said, we ain't going. Now, Dawn, 00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:50.240 who was not spirit -filled, thought I was nuts. 00:10:51.299 --> 00:10:56.879 I don't care. My life. We go back to the student 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:02.440 union. Tom Hufty, who is a Baptist. A traditional 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:07.480 Baptist says, Tony, I have a feeling you shouldn't 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.559 go to that gang. Even the Baptist can hear God. 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:16.960 No, no, please understand, I got saved in the 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:22.820 Baptist church. I went to a Baptist Bible college. 00:11:24.580 --> 00:11:27.259 You know, I understand. You know, they believe 00:11:27.259 --> 00:11:32.120 stuff I don't necessarily believe. You know, 00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:35.019 like I don't believe once saved, always saved. 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.899 I think you got to follow Jesus to the end. At 00:11:39.899 --> 00:11:41.700 least that's what the Bible says. He that endure 00:11:41.700 --> 00:11:48.019 to the end. Okay. But anyway, this Baptist brother 00:11:48.019 --> 00:11:52.259 heard God. Look at somebody say, that's why you 00:11:52.259 --> 00:11:56.580 need to know the voice of God. It's very practical. 00:11:58.100 --> 00:12:02.519 Okay. So now. Let me mess with you before I teach, 00:12:02.779 --> 00:12:05.139 just because, I don't know, I'm in the mood. 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:12.799 So, one of the persons I saw in heaven was Noah. 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.659 Can I drop a little something on you concerning 00:12:17.659 --> 00:12:27.059 Noah? Okay. What if I was to say to you... That 00:12:27.059 --> 00:12:29.740 all the animals on the earth, not all of them 00:12:29.740 --> 00:12:34.500 happen to be living where Noah was. What if I 00:12:34.500 --> 00:12:38.860 said to you that God would translate the chosen 00:12:38.860 --> 00:12:41.940 animals, the two by twos and the little ones, 00:12:42.019 --> 00:12:46.419 the sevens, right in front of the ark? What if 00:12:46.419 --> 00:12:49.600 I was to say to you, God's temporarily manifested 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:53.539 Eden and all the animals became obedient to Noah 00:12:53.539 --> 00:12:57.389 and went into the ark? What if I was to say to 00:12:57.389 --> 00:13:01.970 you that as soon as each one came in, even the 00:13:01.970 --> 00:13:05.669 creeping things, that each one, when they got 00:13:05.669 --> 00:13:09.190 in their place, that God put them into a supernatural 00:13:09.190 --> 00:13:17.149 hibernation? What if I was to tell you that Noah, 00:13:17.250 --> 00:13:20.529 once he got in his place, he and his wife and 00:13:20.529 --> 00:13:23.690 his whole family went into supernatural hibernation? 00:13:24.059 --> 00:13:26.840 and they were all frozen in place. God shuts 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:29.940 the door. The rain falls, the water comes up, 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:35.600 and the ship rolls. Haven't you ever wondered 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:41.779 how Noah would stand the noise? Have you ever 00:13:41.779 --> 00:13:44.620 wondered, how is Noah going to feed all these 00:13:44.620 --> 00:13:47.740 animals? Have you ever wondered, where is the 00:13:47.740 --> 00:13:51.480 waste going to go? Look at somebody and say, 00:13:51.539 --> 00:13:57.740 the Lord took care of all of that. So when everything 00:13:57.740 --> 00:14:00.419 rests, and then you got motion, the whole thing 00:14:00.419 --> 00:14:03.860 of motion. So then when everything rests, the 00:14:03.860 --> 00:14:07.159 Lord wakes Noah up, and then there's a raven. 00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:12.059 And listen to me. Here's my point. The assignment 00:14:12.059 --> 00:14:15.360 of the raven was to go out and find land and 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:23.779 return. You know, the raven did not fulfill its 00:14:23.779 --> 00:14:27.629 assignment. Look at somebody that said, don't 00:14:27.629 --> 00:14:35.309 be a raven. The dove goes out and comes back. 00:14:35.669 --> 00:14:38.029 Look at somebody that said, be a part of God's 00:14:38.029 --> 00:14:44.029 dove company. Because when Jesus gets baptized, 00:14:44.450 --> 00:14:52.870 at the waters of baptism, he lives, he dies, 00:14:53.110 --> 00:14:57.580 he's resurrected. And at the waters of baptism, 00:14:57.740 --> 00:14:59.879 you have the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Heaven 00:14:59.879 --> 00:15:03.019 opens, Spirit falls, Father speaks, you're the 00:15:03.019 --> 00:15:07.340 Son in whom I find pleasure. When the Holy Spirit 00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:12.980 falls, he appears in the form of a dove. Look 00:15:12.980 --> 00:15:15.460 at somebody and say, are you part of God's dove 00:15:15.460 --> 00:15:24.460 company? You can be if you follow Jesus in John 00:15:24.460 --> 00:15:31.799 10. 27, my sheep hear my voice. I know them. 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:33.899 I know we say stuff like I know the Lord, but 00:15:33.899 --> 00:15:38.759 yeah, but does he know you? They follow me. So 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:42.799 then the Lord wakes everybody up. All the animals 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:44.899 walk out and they get translated to their various 00:15:44.899 --> 00:15:48.200 places. Look at somebody and say, very interesting. 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:58.940 Anyway, that's enough of that. Doesn't matter 00:15:58.940 --> 00:16:00.200 whether you believe it when you get to heaven, 00:16:00.259 --> 00:16:08.419 you'll find out. Noah was, let me see if I can 00:16:08.419 --> 00:16:11.840 see a guy who looks similar to Noah. Do we have 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.419 any tall guys here? Wave your hand if you've 00:16:14.419 --> 00:16:17.600 got tall guys. How tall are you? You're tall. 00:16:18.019 --> 00:16:25.159 Stand up. Noah was similar to you, but he was, 00:16:26.110 --> 00:16:30.250 He had a really, really long beard. Yes, I'm 00:16:30.250 --> 00:16:34.309 sorry. Sit down. Let's give that brother a big 00:16:34.309 --> 00:16:44.649 hand clap. So anyway, that was fun. You know, 00:16:44.669 --> 00:16:47.669 some of you, your wheels are still turning. It's 00:16:47.669 --> 00:16:52.610 okay. So let me teach my lesson. I got about 00:16:52.610 --> 00:16:56.299 40 minutes, 30 minutes. you'll get the abbreviated 00:16:56.299 --> 00:16:59.360 version. Turn to the book of John chapter, nah, 00:16:59.460 --> 00:17:14.960 I'll start with 20. Verse 30. Chapter 20, verse 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.299 30. And truly, Jesus did many other signs in 00:17:18.299 --> 00:17:20.000 the presence of his disciples. Look, somebody 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:25.369 say, the signs of Jesus. Jesus did many other 00:17:25.369 --> 00:17:27.250 signs in the presence of the disciples which 00:17:27.250 --> 00:17:29.210 are not written in this book, but the purpose 00:17:29.210 --> 00:17:31.230 of the signs, but these are written, verse 31, 00:17:31.490 --> 00:17:33.910 that you might believe Jesus is the Christ, the 00:17:33.910 --> 00:17:36.089 Son of God, and that believing you might have 00:17:36.089 --> 00:17:40.470 life through his name. Look at somebody say, 00:17:40.609 --> 00:17:51.970 signs, Jesus, eternal life. Now, signs, signs 00:17:51.970 --> 00:17:58.019 show you where you're not. Signs show you where 00:17:58.019 --> 00:18:02.299 you are. Signs show you where you don't want 00:18:02.299 --> 00:18:06.460 to go. Signs show you where you do want to go. 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:14.079 Signs set up boundaries. Signs say no admission 00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:19.480 or you have permission. Signs point to something 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:26.359 else in the future. Signs tell you what's beyond. 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:34.799 Okay. Okay, you ready? Look at somebody and say, 00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:39.259 are you sure you're ready? Okay. Signs point 00:18:39.259 --> 00:18:44.359 to Jesus. So where does Jesus stand in relationship 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:52.140 to you? He stands outside of the edge of your 00:18:52.140 --> 00:18:59.339 present. to call you into the future he has for 00:18:59.339 --> 00:19:08.319 you. Where does Jesus stand in relationship to 00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:13.160 you? He stands just outside the border of your 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:19.160 present. And so from the future, he calls you 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:25.660 into the future he has for you. Look at somebody 00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:30.180 and say, Jesus is in your future. And he's calling 00:19:30.180 --> 00:19:34.920 you into the future with him. I like how Kim 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:38.019 Clement said it. He said, somewhere in the future, 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:40.740 you look a whole lot better than you do right 00:19:40.740 --> 00:19:48.839 now. Let's see if this is true. I like John. 00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:57.200 I'm not going to tell you about that. You're 00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:05.019 still trying to get over Noah. John chapter 2. 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:16.799 Verse 1. And by the way, I'm not going to be 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:20.559 able to finish the message. I may be able to 00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:23.579 finish it in the second service. Maybe. I never 00:20:23.579 --> 00:20:26.710 get done. On the third day, there was a wedding 00:20:26.710 --> 00:20:33.470 at Cana of Galilee. Very interesting. Third day. 00:20:34.009 --> 00:20:38.990 Now, if you really look, you should look at third 00:20:38.990 --> 00:20:42.410 day scriptures, particularly in the Old Covenant, 00:20:42.509 --> 00:20:47.829 and see that there are signs sometimes that point 00:20:47.829 --> 00:20:51.150 to Jesus, sometimes in ways that are quite obscure. 00:20:51.789 --> 00:20:55.230 That's for the theologians. And the mother of 00:20:55.230 --> 00:20:58.410 Jesus was there. Look out, somebody say, Mama 00:20:58.410 --> 00:21:04.529 of Jesus. Okay. The mother of Jesus was there. 00:21:05.150 --> 00:21:08.890 Verse 2, and both Jesus was called and his disciples 00:21:08.890 --> 00:21:12.569 to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the 00:21:12.569 --> 00:21:15.390 mother of Jesus says to him, they don't have 00:21:15.390 --> 00:21:18.369 any wine. Look at somebody, say, Mama's in action. 00:21:23.230 --> 00:21:27.950 Now, Context determines meaning. In that culture, 00:21:28.109 --> 00:21:31.650 you know, you had your best wine out and you 00:21:31.650 --> 00:21:33.529 want to make sure you had enough wine for all 00:21:33.529 --> 00:21:35.769 of your guests. And if you didn't have enough 00:21:35.769 --> 00:21:39.269 wine for all of your guests, it resulted in public 00:21:39.269 --> 00:21:43.670 embarrassment for the father of the bride in 00:21:43.670 --> 00:21:47.490 the community. And so the mother of Jesus saw 00:21:47.490 --> 00:21:50.650 what was coming and she went to Jesus and said, 00:21:50.690 --> 00:21:55.740 hey, you got to fix this. So, well, his mama 00:21:55.740 --> 00:22:03.619 was something. See, I think, look at somebody 00:22:03.619 --> 00:22:05.680 and say, you need to believe in the Virgin Mary. 00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:13.599 I'm going to tell you why you should later. You 00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:15.579 ought to deal with Catholics sometime and say, 00:22:15.700 --> 00:22:20.740 do you believe in the Virgin Mary? You really 00:22:20.740 --> 00:22:24.089 believe in the Virgin Mary? Do you pray to the 00:22:24.089 --> 00:22:29.890 Virgin Mary? I pray to the one the Virgin Mary 00:22:29.890 --> 00:22:38.609 prayed to. Just thought I'd pass it along. So 00:22:38.609 --> 00:22:44.009 Jesus says, watch this, woman, why are you involving 00:22:44.009 --> 00:22:48.109 me? And by the way, it was a term of endearment. 00:22:48.809 --> 00:22:53.829 In fact, Before the female was called Eve, she 00:22:53.829 --> 00:23:11.309 was called woman. Do you know that sin dehumanizes 00:23:11.309 --> 00:23:19.069 you? And the only way that you could be fully 00:23:20.399 --> 00:23:24.680 is by knowing Jesus through the word and by the 00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:36.380 spirit? Maybe John was telling us something when 00:23:36.380 --> 00:23:38.960 Pilate brought out Jesus and said, Ecco homo, 00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:50.180 behold the man. What if Jesus was saying, woman, 00:23:50.380 --> 00:23:55.400 referring back to a state before the fall where 00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:59.559 God could be perceived. He was giving his mother 00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:02.740 a compliment because you see what's really going 00:24:02.740 --> 00:24:13.319 on now. Did you know that in Hebrew history, 00:24:14.179 --> 00:24:16.660 When the Messiah would come, one of the signs 00:24:16.660 --> 00:24:24.619 of the Messiah was to turn water into wine. Jewish 00:24:24.619 --> 00:24:28.440 history. But I'm not really camping on that. 00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:32.740 He said, my hour's not yet come. You know, it's 00:24:32.740 --> 00:24:38.700 funny how your mama can get ahead of you. His 00:24:38.700 --> 00:24:43.549 mother was ahead of him. Says to the servants, 00:24:43.630 --> 00:24:48.809 verse five, whatever he says to you, do it. Okay. 00:24:49.069 --> 00:24:53.849 So if you want to move in supernatural signs, 00:24:54.269 --> 00:24:58.730 here's your first step. Look at somebody and 00:24:58.730 --> 00:25:08.730 say, whatever Jesus tells you to do, do it. My 00:25:08.730 --> 00:25:12.680 sheep, hear my voice. I know them. and they follow 00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:16.359 me. Repeat after me. Whatever Jesus tells you 00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:21.900 to do, do it. Next verse. There were set there 00:25:21.900 --> 00:25:25.819 six water pots of water. Now, the purpose of 00:25:25.819 --> 00:25:28.440 the six water pots was when the people came in, 00:25:28.500 --> 00:25:36.359 they washed their hands. And there were six. 00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:44.099 Everybody say the number of man. It was to purify, 00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:47.740 but obviously these 20 or 30 gallons apiece, 00:25:47.740 --> 00:25:51.660 great, that's the right thing. But Jesus can 00:25:51.660 --> 00:25:58.279 repurpose your pot so that the dirt that's come 00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:02.819 in, look at somebody say, he can remove it. Look 00:26:02.819 --> 00:26:11.180 at somebody say, from dirt to deliverance. Now 00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:16.160 Jesus repurposes, repurposes the water pots and 00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:22.039 says, fill the water pots with water and they 00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:24.680 filled them up. Let me just make this comment. 00:26:25.779 --> 00:26:29.119 Have you ever considered that when Nathaniel, 00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:32.000 okay, let me back up. There's no way, I'm not 00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:33.440 even gonna get halfway through this message. 00:26:35.220 --> 00:26:37.660 It's all right though. We got a second shot. 00:26:39.429 --> 00:26:44.210 Philip meets Jesus. Philip goes to Nathaniel. 00:26:45.609 --> 00:26:48.829 Nathaniel says to Philip, can any good thing 00:26:48.829 --> 00:26:51.490 come out of Nazareth? Philip's smart enough. 00:26:51.549 --> 00:26:54.910 He said, come and see. So Jesus sees Nathaniel 00:26:54.910 --> 00:26:57.069 coming to him and said, this is a true Israeli 00:26:57.069 --> 00:27:01.470 in whom there's no falsehood. And Nathaniel's 00:27:01.470 --> 00:27:05.009 response is very interesting. He says, how do 00:27:05.009 --> 00:27:08.960 you know me? And Jesus says, sign. When you were 00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:11.579 under the fig tree, before Philip called you, 00:27:11.660 --> 00:27:15.880 I saw you. Because rabbis taught their disciples 00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:20.160 under a tree. And so it's a sign that Nathan 00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:22.980 was under a tree. Nathanael was under a tree 00:27:22.980 --> 00:27:29.460 saying, God, where's my rabbi? That's why Nathanael 00:27:29.460 --> 00:27:33.000 responds and says, you're the rabbi. You're the 00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:38.039 son of God. You're the king of Israel. And then 00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:42.420 Jesus says, you think that's something? Wait 00:27:42.420 --> 00:27:45.160 till you see the angels of God ascending and 00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:50.539 descending upon the Son of Man. From that moment, 00:27:50.660 --> 00:27:54.839 read the book of John and find out how many times 00:27:54.839 --> 00:28:00.960 it says, up and down. I'm going to leave you 00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:06.690 alone. Fill the waters. pots with water, and 00:28:06.690 --> 00:28:18.769 they filled them. There's an ascending. Just 00:28:18.769 --> 00:28:22.930 to make you think. Just look, just reread the 00:28:22.930 --> 00:28:28.750 book. Reread the book. He says, draw out now, 00:28:28.890 --> 00:28:31.269 and whoever's in charge of the feast, take it 00:28:31.269 --> 00:28:41.289 to the person. What do you call those, the director, 00:28:41.529 --> 00:28:44.250 the person who's, come on, what are they called? 00:28:45.369 --> 00:28:48.650 The wedding director. Wedding coordinator, there 00:28:48.650 --> 00:28:52.750 you go. Take it to the wedding coordinator. I 00:28:52.750 --> 00:28:56.109 try not to do any weddings. I got tired of weddings 00:28:56.109 --> 00:28:59.910 and funerals. So I even forgot what it was called. 00:29:01.490 --> 00:29:05.509 Somebody else can do that, I'm just. When the 00:29:05.509 --> 00:29:07.589 ruler of the feast tasted the water that had 00:29:07.589 --> 00:29:09.569 been made wine, didn't know where it was, but 00:29:09.569 --> 00:29:11.690 the servants which drew the water knew, the governor 00:29:11.690 --> 00:29:13.029 of the feast called the bridegroom and said, 00:29:13.109 --> 00:29:15.509 Hey, every man at the beginning says forth good 00:29:15.509 --> 00:29:17.829 wine, men are well drunk, and that which is worse, 00:29:17.869 --> 00:29:19.990 you've kept the best wine or the good wine till 00:29:19.990 --> 00:29:25.309 when? Now, we usually say last, but look at somebody 00:29:25.309 --> 00:29:27.029 and say, but the good wine is for right now. 00:29:28.410 --> 00:29:31.589 Okay, so before we go any further, I don't drink 00:29:31.589 --> 00:29:40.339 wine. Because you know where people go. I worked 00:29:40.339 --> 00:29:43.079 with too many people who were alcoholics and 00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:46.779 drug addicts. Okay? You know, and when I did 00:29:46.779 --> 00:29:48.900 drink, you know, I could go a little too far. 00:29:50.339 --> 00:29:56.700 A little too far. Did I say too far? So, I don't 00:29:56.700 --> 00:30:02.160 need to drink any. Okay? Right. Just thought 00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:04.539 I'd tell you because, you know, sometimes people 00:30:04.539 --> 00:30:07.950 say, you know. Look at somebody say, I'm heavenly 00:30:07.950 --> 00:30:15.970 wine. Here's the point. This beginning of signs, 00:30:16.329 --> 00:30:20.170 Jesus did at Cana of Galilee and manifested his 00:30:20.170 --> 00:30:23.769 what? Everybody say his glory and his disciples' 00:30:23.970 --> 00:30:26.349 belief. Now notice you got this in chapter two 00:30:26.349 --> 00:30:31.289 and John references it in chapter 20. So now 00:30:31.289 --> 00:30:34.089 he's talking about signs. Everybody say signs. 00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:37.819 But the key word here is beginning. It's where 00:30:37.819 --> 00:30:40.599 we get the word archaic. Now this is really, 00:30:40.660 --> 00:30:43.400 really important. Everybody say archaic. Where 00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:49.500 we get archetype and we also get archaic. What 00:30:49.500 --> 00:30:53.240 it is, it's the original pattern. Everybody say 00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:56.859 the original pattern from which copies are made. 00:30:58.160 --> 00:31:01.140 So once you understand the original pattern, 00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:08.980 you have insight. into how Jesus does signs, 00:31:09.259 --> 00:31:15.920 wonders, and miracles. Because he makes a point. 00:31:16.019 --> 00:31:20.599 He uses the language. It's the starting point. 00:31:23.099 --> 00:31:27.480 Everything proceeds from there. So if you want 00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:29.819 signs and wonders, you got to understand the 00:31:29.819 --> 00:31:32.539 archetype, the archaic, the original pattern, 00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:38.049 the archaic. And he actually tells you, he actually 00:31:38.049 --> 00:31:42.089 tells you what the first step is. You ready? 00:31:42.490 --> 00:31:44.890 Everybody quote, say it after me. Whatever Jesus 00:31:44.890 --> 00:31:54.170 tells you to do, do it. That's a step. So now, 00:31:54.329 --> 00:31:58.410 John, through his book, he's going to show you 00:31:58.410 --> 00:32:07.549 this theme. Speaking of up, in chapter 2, verse 00:32:07.549 --> 00:32:10.509 19, Jesus says, destroy this temple, and in three 00:32:10.509 --> 00:32:13.329 days I will raise it. What do you mean, three? 00:32:13.490 --> 00:32:17.730 Three. Third day, three days. Hmm. He's a prophetic 00:32:17.730 --> 00:32:23.210 apostle. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. So, let's go further. 00:32:24.650 --> 00:32:28.829 Let's go further. So, now, John is making a point. 00:32:28.990 --> 00:32:32.470 So, let's go to chapter 5. Now, let's do chapter 00:32:32.470 --> 00:32:45.130 4. Chapter 4, we'll go with verse 46. Chapter 00:32:45.130 --> 00:32:51.250 4, verse 36. Here's John, the Holy Spirit. I 00:32:51.250 --> 00:32:54.289 just, go, go, go. No, no, go back, go back, go 00:32:54.289 --> 00:32:59.509 back. Did I do something wrong? I said 46. Right? 00:33:00.009 --> 00:33:03.660 446? Yeah, that's it, that's it. So Jesus came 00:33:03.660 --> 00:33:05.880 again to Cana of Galilee. Look at what the Holy 00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:08.160 Spirit's doing here, where he made the water 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:11.480 wine. He's making a point. And there was a certain 00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:14.720 nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. This 00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:18.980 is where the prophet Nahum said, glad tidings. 00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:23.259 Next verse. And when this nobleman heard that 00:33:23.259 --> 00:33:25.359 Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he 00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:29.440 went to him and implored him, come where? Where 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:35.480 my son is sick. And heal his son, for he's at 00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:39.140 the point of death. He's dying. Then Jesus says 00:33:39.140 --> 00:33:42.759 this. Next verse. Unless you see signs and wonders, 00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:48.200 you will by no means believe. Signs. Believing. 00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:56.259 Everybody say sinners. Signs. The Son of God. 00:33:57.019 --> 00:34:00.920 Jesus Christ. The noble man said, come down before 00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:04.769 my child dies. Next verse. Jesus says, watch 00:34:04.769 --> 00:34:08.369 this, go your way, your son lives. So the man 00:34:08.369 --> 00:34:11.550 believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and 00:34:11.550 --> 00:34:15.570 went his way. Next verse. As he was going down, 00:34:15.690 --> 00:34:18.309 his servants met him and said, your son lives. 00:34:19.989 --> 00:34:23.829 Next verse. Then he inquired of them when his 00:34:23.829 --> 00:34:31.489 son began to amend. Amend. Let's see, amend. 00:34:34.549 --> 00:34:39.190 Yale, may I? Yale, may I healing is when you 00:34:39.190 --> 00:34:40.650 get better and better until you're completely 00:34:40.650 --> 00:34:44.750 well. At the seventh hour, the fever left him. 00:34:44.789 --> 00:34:47.969 Next verse. So the father knew it was the same 00:34:47.969 --> 00:34:50.489 hour that Jesus said to him, your son lives, 00:34:50.570 --> 00:34:52.929 and he believed in his whole household. Verse 00:34:52.929 --> 00:34:56.769 54, next verse. This, again, is the second what? 00:34:58.110 --> 00:35:02.369 The Holy Spirit's making a point. Jesus did when 00:35:02.369 --> 00:35:05.389 he came out of Judea into Galilee. So what's 00:35:05.389 --> 00:35:08.730 the meaning of the second sign? Because you look 00:35:08.730 --> 00:35:12.269 beyond the miracle to see the message. Look at 00:35:12.269 --> 00:35:14.230 somebody and say, look beyond the miracle and 00:35:14.230 --> 00:35:21.130 see the message. Sign number one, key. Whatever 00:35:21.130 --> 00:35:25.630 Jesus tells you to do, do it. Sign number two, 00:35:25.769 --> 00:35:31.400 do what you can do. when Jesus tells you to do 00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:43.480 it. Whatever Jesus tells you to do, do it. Do 00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:46.659 what you can do when Jesus tells you to do it. 00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:51.380 Many years ago, the Lord talked to me about what 00:35:51.380 --> 00:35:53.239 he called, this is his phrase, he called it the 00:35:53.239 --> 00:36:05.130 sign gifted ministry. And so, I've seen Jesus 00:36:05.130 --> 00:36:08.389 do all kinds of incredible, miraculous signs. 00:36:09.309 --> 00:36:13.090 Body parts were, there were none. The dead being 00:36:13.090 --> 00:36:15.849 raised a number of times. All kinds of weather 00:36:15.849 --> 00:36:20.989 signs. I mean, all kinds of signs. I most of 00:36:20.989 --> 00:36:24.130 the time don't talk about it. Because for some 00:36:24.130 --> 00:36:26.610 people, they'll get so caught up in the sign 00:36:26.610 --> 00:36:28.570 and the wonder, they won't look at the word. 00:36:29.909 --> 00:36:35.690 And that's a problem. Okay? So I have a tendency, 00:36:35.789 --> 00:36:39.429 unless the Holy Spirit makes me, to sacrifice 00:36:39.429 --> 00:36:43.989 signs and wonders and miracles to point people 00:36:43.989 --> 00:36:46.670 to this Word. But when the Holy Spirit makes 00:36:46.670 --> 00:36:49.090 me, I go, oh, okay, I can move in that now. But 00:36:49.090 --> 00:36:50.889 I always want to establish the Word first. Everybody 00:36:50.889 --> 00:36:57.030 say, establish the Word first. Okay? So whatever 00:36:57.030 --> 00:37:00.309 Jesus tells you to do, do it. Do what you can 00:37:00.309 --> 00:37:02.670 do when Jesus tells you to do it. Chapter 5. 00:37:06.090 --> 00:37:09.530 Verse one. How many of you are enjoying the word? 00:37:13.010 --> 00:37:18.289 Verse one. This is crazy. After this, there was 00:37:18.289 --> 00:37:25.650 a feast. And Jesus did what? Look at somebody 00:37:25.650 --> 00:37:30.730 say, something's fixing to happen now. Because 00:37:30.730 --> 00:37:33.289 the nobleman said, come down, but Jesus healed 00:37:33.289 --> 00:37:38.380 him and raised him up. I think I perceive a theme. 00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:45.019 What if the ministry of seeing in the Spirit 00:37:45.019 --> 00:37:48.780 is to see what God is saying and doing in the 00:37:48.780 --> 00:37:52.579 Word? See, I know we want to see angels, we want 00:37:52.579 --> 00:37:54.559 to see demons, and there's a time and a place 00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:57.699 for that. We want to see Jesus, there's a time 00:37:57.699 --> 00:38:00.679 and a place for that. But from the standpoint 00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:03.139 of the ministry as a prophet and a seer, your 00:38:03.139 --> 00:38:13.320 first seeing is the revelation of the word. And 00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:16.980 so if you'll notice, I have deliberately not 00:38:16.980 --> 00:38:19.780 did personal ministry because I wanted to give 00:38:19.780 --> 00:38:23.800 you a sign. I let honor do it. And only when 00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:30.039 I got pulled into it last night did I participate 00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:32.019 because, see, I know what happens. People will 00:38:32.019 --> 00:38:34.300 go, I want visions, revelations, visitations. 00:38:34.829 --> 00:38:37.369 and all that. But mostly what I did was, everybody 00:38:37.369 --> 00:38:45.909 say, the word. See, because with this whole thing 00:38:45.909 --> 00:38:49.809 of revelation, you can get out of balance. And 00:38:49.809 --> 00:38:52.889 it's all about, and so God, listen, so see, so 00:38:52.889 --> 00:38:55.570 God hasn't showed up in the service until something 00:38:55.570 --> 00:39:00.590 miraculous happens. Look at something I said, 00:39:00.630 --> 00:39:09.989 but it's about Jesus. So, verse 2. There is at 00:39:09.989 --> 00:39:11.989 Jerusalem by the sheep market, which is called 00:39:11.989 --> 00:39:14.130 in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, five porches, 00:39:14.230 --> 00:39:16.510 portigos, and these lay a great multitude of 00:39:16.510 --> 00:39:18.630 impotent folk. They wanted to put them all right 00:39:18.630 --> 00:39:20.349 there because there's something about invalids 00:39:20.349 --> 00:39:24.070 we don't want to see them. Blind heart withered, 00:39:24.070 --> 00:39:29.289 waiting for the moving. For an angel did what? 00:39:30.610 --> 00:39:33.670 Where the people were suffering, the angel was 00:39:33.670 --> 00:39:38.679 sent down. at a certain season into the pool 00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:41.780 and troubled the water. And whoever first, after 00:39:41.780 --> 00:39:44.940 the troubling of the water, stepped in was made 00:39:44.940 --> 00:39:46.880 whole of whatever disease they had. So there's 00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:49.920 an angel that has a calling from God to heal 00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:53.219 whatever disease. A certain man was there, which 00:39:53.219 --> 00:39:56.000 had an infirmity, 38 years. And when Jesus saw 00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:58.780 him lie, knew he had been there a long time, 00:39:58.860 --> 00:40:04.300 he says, will you make a choice to be made whole? 00:40:05.739 --> 00:40:08.139 And the impotent man, paralyzed man said, I don't 00:40:08.139 --> 00:40:10.480 have anybody. When the water's troubled to put 00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:12.099 me into the pool. Wait a minute. Where's your 00:40:12.099 --> 00:40:15.960 brother? Where are your cousins? Where are your 00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:19.739 family? Where are your friends? He says, I have 00:40:19.739 --> 00:40:23.780 no one. So we got a man who's paralyzed by abandonment. 00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:29.739 Paralyzed by rejection. Paralyzed. Paralyzed. 00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:34.000 I had a dream once about spiritual, mental, emotional. 00:40:34.750 --> 00:40:40.070 and various kinds of paralysis. And so, then 00:40:40.070 --> 00:40:42.090 he says, when I'm coming, another steps what? 00:40:43.050 --> 00:40:45.769 Down before me. You know what he's saying? I've 00:40:45.769 --> 00:40:47.429 been here for 38 years. You've only been here 00:40:47.429 --> 00:40:50.469 for 28. Wait your turn. Everybody say resentment. 00:40:51.190 --> 00:40:59.710 Resentment. Bitterness, anger, frustration. So 00:40:59.710 --> 00:41:02.739 now, when we look at this scripture, And Jesus 00:41:02.739 --> 00:41:06.679 says to him, verse 8, rise, take up your bed, 00:41:06.699 --> 00:41:10.079 and what? Immediately the man was made whole, 00:41:10.139 --> 00:41:19.579 took up. Everybody say up. Take up. And he walks. 00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:22.860 Wait a minute. Jesus is saying, okay, it's time 00:41:22.860 --> 00:41:24.579 for you to rise up out of your bitterness, your 00:41:24.579 --> 00:41:26.980 unforgiveness, your frustration, your anger. 00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:29.619 It's time for you to rise up out of your rejection, 00:41:29.739 --> 00:41:32.039 your hurt, your pain. It's time for you to rise 00:41:32.039 --> 00:41:34.760 up out of your paralysis. It's time for your 00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:37.000 spirit to rise up, your mind to rise up, your 00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:40.980 emotions to rise up, and get your body up. What 00:41:40.980 --> 00:41:45.860 is the meaning of this sign? Whatever Jesus tells 00:41:45.860 --> 00:41:49.000 you to do, do it. Do what you can do when Jesus 00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:51.739 tells you to do it. But here's the amazing thing. 00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:55.440 You can do what you couldn't do when Jesus tells 00:41:55.440 --> 00:42:00.739 you to do it. Because the very fact that Jesus 00:42:00.739 --> 00:42:03.380 said it now empowers you to do what you couldn't 00:42:03.380 --> 00:42:10.519 do before. Everybody say, read the sign. Here's 00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:15.840 the thing. Here's the thing. When water turned 00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:19.360 to wine, Jesus was outside the border of the 00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:24.139 present calling water into wine, the future. 00:42:24.699 --> 00:42:30.880 And it was between 120 and 180 gallons. So all 00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:34.059 of a sudden, these poor people became very, very 00:42:34.059 --> 00:42:37.559 wealthy. Look at somebody say, Jesus is the God 00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:41.579 of more than enough. Now look at somebody say, 00:42:41.659 --> 00:42:46.429 whatever you do, do what Jesus says. Look at 00:42:46.429 --> 00:42:48.130 somebody say, it could lead to more than enough. 00:42:52.869 --> 00:42:55.570 Do what you can do when Jesus tells you to do 00:42:55.570 --> 00:42:58.829 it. Why? Because it creates a miracle in your 00:42:58.829 --> 00:43:14.400 family. Let's go further. Chapter six. I'm going 00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:15.980 to do this one. Look at somebody and say, you 00:43:15.980 --> 00:43:17.639 may have to come to the next service to get the 00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:20.400 rest of the story. I don't know. Is that permitted 00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:23.619 here? Okay, we're good. Because I'm not going 00:43:23.619 --> 00:43:29.159 to tell it. I'm going to obey leadership. And 00:43:29.159 --> 00:43:35.139 I'm going to stop. But how many have I given 00:43:35.139 --> 00:43:43.710 you thus far? Three? Okay. In fact. I just may 00:43:43.710 --> 00:43:57.030 be bad and stop to make you return. How many 00:43:57.030 --> 00:43:58.809 of you never saw that that way before? Raise 00:43:58.809 --> 00:44:01.230 your hands. You never saw it that way before. 00:44:01.409 --> 00:44:05.070 Oh, it's a key. Look at somebody say, it's a 00:44:05.070 --> 00:44:10.150 key. And there are more. Look at somebody say, 00:44:10.210 --> 00:44:13.519 and there's a whole lot more. So you're saying, 00:44:13.559 --> 00:44:17.800 I want to see God's signs and wonders in my life. 00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:21.940 Now listen, it isn't that I don't have anything 00:44:21.940 --> 00:44:25.059 to say. It's that when you're speaking, you have 00:44:25.059 --> 00:44:31.340 to repeat. Right? You have to repeat. So, whatever 00:44:31.340 --> 00:44:36.059 Jesus tells you to do, do it. Do what you can 00:44:36.059 --> 00:44:39.340 do when Jesus tells you to do it. You can do 00:44:39.340 --> 00:44:42.840 what you couldn't do. When Jesus tells you to 00:44:42.840 --> 00:44:47.719 do it. And it results in a sign that manifests 00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:54.460 Jesus and gives God glory. Now you need to hear 00:44:54.460 --> 00:45:01.420 me. This is why the enemy fights your obedience. 00:45:03.659 --> 00:45:11.119 In the little things. Because we always think 00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:17.619 about big steps cause big results. But here, 00:45:17.739 --> 00:45:21.559 it's always a series of little steps that cause 00:45:21.559 --> 00:45:26.760 big results. Okay. I've been talking about habits. 00:45:27.019 --> 00:45:34.340 Ready? You don't focus on your goals, you focus 00:45:34.340 --> 00:45:39.880 on your habits. You don't focus on results. You 00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:43.880 focus on your habits. Because next to every negative 00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:47.760 result, cause and effect is a negative habit. 00:45:48.900 --> 00:45:50.659 I'm not talking about trials. I'm not talking 00:45:50.659 --> 00:45:52.179 about struggles. I'm talking about cause and 00:45:52.179 --> 00:45:59.079 effect. Okay? Next to positive, biblical, scriptural, 00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:02.739 obedient habits to God's Word are big results. 00:46:03.860 --> 00:46:12.989 It's right there. It's right there. So, the way 00:46:12.989 --> 00:46:23.349 I change the results is I change my habits. So, 00:46:23.530 --> 00:46:28.869 if I fix my system, my belief system, my thinking, 00:46:28.909 --> 00:46:34.710 talking, and behavior, the results fixes itself. 00:46:38.320 --> 00:46:42.880 If I fix my belief system according to the word 00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:46.260 of God, I don't have to concern myself with the 00:46:46.260 --> 00:46:48.699 results because when I operate in the word of 00:46:48.699 --> 00:46:53.300 God and I fix my belief system, the results fix 00:46:53.300 --> 00:47:05.340 itself. So, so, your results determine where 00:47:05.340 --> 00:47:08.289 you... Your habits determine where you're going. 00:47:09.150 --> 00:47:12.670 So if you don't like where you've been, change 00:47:12.670 --> 00:47:15.190 your habits so you can change where you're going. 00:47:22.250 --> 00:47:25.889 Okay. Stand to your feet if you would, please. 00:47:33.750 --> 00:47:44.610 What I want you to think about, See, we cry for 00:47:44.610 --> 00:47:48.590 the glory of God, but the glory of God always 00:47:48.590 --> 00:47:53.969 demands change. We are changed from what? Glory 00:47:53.969 --> 00:47:59.530 to what? You can't have glory without change. 00:48:10.670 --> 00:48:15.349 And so while we do want celebration of the presence 00:48:15.349 --> 00:48:19.530 and the person of God, one of the reasons for 00:48:19.530 --> 00:48:24.889 the celebration is to empower us into what? Change. 00:48:28.469 --> 00:48:34.670 And so I'm giving you keys to change that will 00:48:34.670 --> 00:48:41.760 increase the glory.
