welcome to the bethel church sermon of the week we hope you enjoy this message by pastor bill johnson for more information about this podcast and other resources visit bethel.com why don't uh open your bibles to matthew chapter one we're actually gonna read from two places in the scripture gonna read from matthew one and a little uh verse i think maybe out of chapter two we'll see and then also 2nd corinthians 5. so we're going to we're going to use these two passages let's read this first one here in matthew and then and then i want to talk to you for a bit before we we jump into second corinthians 5. we're going to start in verse 20. while he thought about it this is joseph an angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream saying joseph son of david do not be afraid to take mary your wife for that which is conceived in her is of the holy spirit and she will bring forth a son you will call his name jesus and he will save his people from their sins he will save his people from their sins jump to verse 23 behold this is what a prophet said the virgin shall be with child and bear a son and they shall call his name emmanuel which means god with us she called his name emmanuel god with us christmas is uh is the the season that emphasizes the absolute greatest story ever told and it's the coming of christ and there's a lot of people who have this notion that jesus came to earth to plead on our behalf to calm down an angry father that was looking for somebody to punish and i i don't know that that's something you would believe because we've gone through this enough through the years but jesus actually came to do the opposite he came to reveal a father that was passionate for his people but here's the context in which he came in the context in which we we lived today there's secularization of culture is working very hard to remove the concept of a creator and when you get rid of a creator let me re name it when you get rid of the designer you get rid of design because you can't have design without a designer and the effort is to erase the lines of uniqueness to all that god has made and the purposes that he has created us for so if you don't have a designer then you don't have design and you're free to do what you want design implies that when god created us with design he created us with purpose purpose carries with it the implication of destiny and destiny carries with the responsibility of accountability so the bottom line is the effort to destroy the concept of a creator a designer is to erase that which we were born with it's the conviction that i'll have to give an account of my life when jesus when god created the worlds it says in genesis 1 10 times it says he created these animals to reproduce after their kind is the phrase ten times after they're kind so there's two laws in creation that are actually uh reveal part of why jesus it was necessary for jesus to come number one we reproduce after our kind you plant a flower seed you don't grow a horse you know it reproduces after its kind within each specie there's latitude but there's no crossing over if you take a donkey a male donkey a female horse i think it is i think i have it right they breed you get a mule but that mule cannot reproduce because it is outside of design it's got to get deep into us that by nature we were created to reproduce i don't just mean obviously children who have children who have children i mean just in life that we are contributors to society that's who we are in the story of the miners there's this parable where uh 10 servants were given a sum of money they in turn reinvested it and the master came back to collect the prophets and the one who who increased his one talent to 10 that master said now be in charge of 10 cities enter into the joy of your master here's what you need to see responsibility was their access to greater joy greater responsibility because joy is not something you get by doing nothing it's something you get by functioning according to design design is what connects us to purpose design is what there are different gifts and individuals in this room unique giftings you have something to contribute to the overall story of mankind that no one else can can contribute there's a uniqueness over every person we were made in the image of god and so when you destroy the concept of design and purpose you've erased this sense of accountability for illustrating who he is and every person let me back up the sin issue entered the picture sin is operating outside of design what is the design it's in the image of god it's anything outside of the nature and character of christ is what is sin so when jesus came he came because of this reproducing out of kind so you have horses give birth to horses people to people flowers to flowers but sinners reproduce sinners that that cycle had to be soft we'll get to it in a minute another thing that he created in all of creation was he he called it in genesis 8 i think it is he calls it seed time and harvest seedtime and harvest that means you reap what you sow you plant a seed and it will bring forth fruit if i if i sow a thousand acres of corn i'm going to have a harvest from that corn if i sow mercy blessed are the merciful they shall obtain mercy it's just written in all of all of creation that what you plant you will harvest and so jesus saying that humanity has been planting actions apart from god not for his glory independent of purpose and design stepped into the scene to stop the flow of sowing and reaping we'll look at it in a moment he actually took upon himself all the fruitfulness of wrongdoing that that was that we earned he took upon himself what i deserved so that i could receive what he deserved that's what salvation is it's not just a temporary postponement of sin it's actually he took upon himself the punishment i deserved and he did it so that i could receive the life he deserved that's christmas i saw a picture this week i i really liked it it was a christmas wreath and a crown of thorns and somebody put the two together so it was a half wreath and half thorn and it said the season the reason it was a costly introduction to a season where everything is about a father restoring people to design restoring to purpose i i cringe the internet i love and i hate love hate relationship i cringe at times when i hear what some people confess christ will say about another movement a political party a racial group a a social economic group whatever comments that are made that are just frightening to me and what concerns me is i know they will have to harvest those seeds is this not only damaging but it comes around i've watched people who are just seem to be naturally contentious they have a lot of contention in their life and sometimes i just want to tell them stop planting the seeds this will change in your life you just stop planting the seeds so jesus says blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy what we are harvesting today are the seeds we planted yesterday jesus came and interrupted the cycle so that the irreversible damage could be stopped and a new creation would take place take a look at me uh with me at um second corinthians chapter five second corinthians five in verse 15 says he died for all that those who live should live no longer for themselves but for him who died for them and rose again verse 17. therefore if anyone is in christ he is a new creation old things have passed away behold all things have become new look at verse 17 again if anyone is in christ is a new creation old things have been passed away behold all things have become new the last thing that we needed as people is some kind of a soothing ointment over the open wound of sin we didn't need a spiritual band-aid over a problem he actually needed to come and to change everything to where there was a new start and new beginning in genesis 1 we read of the creation of all things in the seventh day he rested since that time there has never been anything new created until jesus died and was raised from the dead then everyone who puts their faith in him is what the bible calls born again and in that born-again experience they become something that has never existed before a new creation i had a couple plants in weaverville that in my office that i had for years one of them i had i had in redding before i moved to weaverville and i actually ended up with this plant for like uh maybe 19 or 20 years so we had a good good friendship made in that plant and i only watered it with coffee if i had leftover coffee that's what it got if i had none it didn't get anything if i wasn't in there for a few days it just didn't get anything else maybe my secretary watered it so i had this one plant that was in this pot like this this big and it was in this spot for um probably 17 years and there's 16 years anyway and right before a few months before we moved i decided to transplant it so i i took it out and when i brought it out of the pot french roast coffee is what it smelled like it smelled like smell like this this plant is a reproducer of coffee i mean they had just been saturating coffee for 17 years so i put it into a bigger pot and something happened i put it in this bigger pot and within a very short time it started to blossom and have flowers i never saw that before in my life i i put it in a new setting it expanded to its new environment and produced things it never produced before never once did it ever produce flowers but it did in this new pot jesus when he caused you to be born again you were put into his shoes that are significantly larger than ours but every day of our life he works to get to enable us to grow into the fullness of what he designed us to be and in that context we bring a fruitfulness to the planet through our life that is impossible without the grace of god impossible without that natural gift that god would give us so that jesus could be seen once again this verse old things have passed away all things have become new has become a champion verse for probably most all of us let's read a few more and then uh i'll talk and we're going to uh pray over a few things together verse 18 all things are of god who has reconciled us to himself through jesus christ and he's given us the ministry of reconciliation say this with me god has given me the ministry of reconciliation now let's say it again together god has given me the ministry of reconciliation that's actually true for everybody in this room it's amended it's a call it's kind produces kind once you're reconciled to god your nature is to be a reconciler kind reproduces kind [Applause] kind reproduces kind of all right you have you had a chance you missed it all right [Applause] jump down to verse 20 it says now then we are ambassadors for christ as though god were pleading through us we implore you on christ's behalf be reconciled to god verse 21 last verse for he made him who knew no sin to be sin that we might become the righteousness of god in him verse 21 again he made him that's jesus who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of god in christ here's the here's the deal my favorite definition of mercy and grace is mercy is when i don't get what i deserve and grace is when i get what i don't deserve mercy is where i don't get what i deserve grace is when i get what i don't deserve jesus came lived perfect faced every kind of temptation a person can face he did not yield to any of them in the slightest measure he became what would be called a lamb that had no blemish was not defiled there was nothing wrong with it he became the perfect offering why because this cycle of sowing and reaping was going to destroy for eternity all of humanity and jesus stepped into the middle of that and basically said put the harvest that they deserve on me i'll take all of it and it was in the past and every person in the future he took upon himself the punishment that every person deserved it's not an angry father that's looking to destroy people it's this creation that requires productivity increase reproducing after its kind sowing reaping it's the way you come into life if he changes the laws he changes the way we come into breakthrough in maturity and progress so instead jesus came and bore the punishment for all that which was wrong and then he turns to us and he says you're reconciled to god now you'll be a reconciler i don't understand this verse it says that jesus became sin so that we could become the righteousness of god i like it i just don't understand it but i sure like it how is it possible for you and me to be living examples of the righteousness of god that but that's what he says those are shoes that we're growing into i believe that today is marks a season of breakthrough um about two or three weeks ago uh eric led in a prayer time here and he spoke about that in the last uh several weeks of the year i think i think it was a month maybe five weeks the last several weeks of the year that we'd see more miracles in that period of time than we did in the previous 11 months in other words it'd be compounded be increased and we prayed into that then chris got up in that similar period of time and he announced um i'm going to use the word reconciliation restoration but he used different terms but it was people who had family members who had not been walking with the lord that they would be restored in their in their faith in their relationship with god and it was a great time of prayer and uh one of the greatest miracles in the vallettan household ever took place before the day had passed he literally went home from here and got a phone call from one of his grandsons that was going left when god was going right and called the grandpa and said i'm not i'm not right with god and i want to be in and it's a long story but it's a beautiful story i feel like when god is breathing on something that's what we give ourselves to we stand in that and we say we join our voice with his his is the creative powerful voice but it's the partnership that brings release specific application to his heart to broken situations so we hear what god is saying we say this is the day of reconciliation this is the day of reconciliation this is the day of being restored to god i think it was within the last two years billy graham died what a wonderful man i i my name is i shouldn't hate to say this but my name is actually billy don't call me billy my name is bill but my name is billy it's not william they'll ask me you know whatever is your name actually william no no it's billy you know my mom's apologizing my my uh no don't don't don't it's it's an incredible honor my mom met billy graham my uncle worked for him and was his right-hand man for a number of years and my mom met him just weeks before i was born and i inherited that name which is a great honor billy graham great man a man of integrity a man of great faith and he just gave his life for people to know jesus to know the love of god he did it all over the world and then last week we had the home going of reinhardt blanckey who is one of the greatest men i've ever met tonight we have heidi baker coming and it would be heidi uh reinhardt bonke and brother yoon those are the three scariest people i know and reinhardt just went home to be with the lord unusual evangelist he just brought so many 79 million people came to faith in christ through his ministry through the years that they know about when the lord takes people home like this their gifts remain but i don't believe that what god is doing is going to raise up another billy graham or another rhino bonkey what he's doing is he's trying to bring all of us into that inheritance to walk in the grace to walk in the anointing to walk in that heart for people that these two great great leaders had and so we're going to actually pray into that today we're going to do a couple things together because i feel like uh whenever we've done this i don't know how many times it's been but you know maybe 10 15 times in 20 years we'll take part of a meeting just to pray corporately over specific things how many of you were here for the the i want my knife back uh meeting several years ago it was it was just the weirdest weirdest story and a serious sequence of events it basically has to do with lost items god miraculously restoring and there's a long story to it i don't want to take the time for it now but we saw the lord honor corporate prayer for that area and we had stories that continued we had inheritances that were lost in court cases that had been wrapped up for years that were released that week so many things that were bound and lost that were restored it was extraordinary what was it it was it was doing what he said he was doing it's breathing out what he's breathing it's involving himself in what he's involving himself with and i believe today he's involving himself in these things we're supposed to pray for economic breakthrough for those who have impossible economic situations we're supposed to pray for relational healing for those who have impossible conflicts and families the cool thing is nothing is impossible with god and the things that look to be the most impossible tell them hello jesus is [Laughter] calling we we actually it's all right it's it's all right it's we had somebody call years ago or our secretary was praying for somebody behind their desk that just needed a real deliverance you know and they were praying for him and the chur the phone rang at the church you know so she went and grabbed the phone and instead of saying good morning bethel church he said i plead the i plead the blood of jesus or something like that she wasn't thinking she was still praying for this person in her mind when she answered the person on the other and the end of the phone fell under the power of god so you know you never know what you're going to get so we're going to pray together for the economic breakthrough we're going to pray for relational healing i feel like there there are anytime you have a crowd this number it's not even a word of knowledge we always know there's relational difficulties and challenges we're going to pray for healing there we're going to pray for um the health of there are impossible cases uh medically uh in this room that just need a miracle and we're gonna join together and pray for that in just a moment because this is i i saw colon cancer healed right here so a woman get out of a wheelchair right over here stroke 58 years gets up and begins to walk i've seen uh a whole series of about four different diseases right over there just completely healed uh that were impossible ms west now no west nile virus is already here several things just all over this room i can look around and just see right back over here a woman's jaw that broke 10 years ago she couldn't open her mouth without pain was instantly healed all through this room as uh olympic athletes right over here that were healed of career-ending type injuries jesus heals them so it just happens here it happens here and it might as well be your day and so in fact we have so many watching uh on bethel tv we bless you prophesy to you get in on this because we want to pray for this kind of a breakthrough but the greatest miracle of all is actually a person being reconciled to god reconciled to god it's it's it's not hoops that we jump through it's certainly not joining a church membership or something it's not that it's a personal relationship with jesus and jesus comes and he's standing with the hand of the father and he's reaching for yours and he's saying i want to bring these two back together i want to restore you to design to purpose because you have a purpose for your life that is rich it's wonderful it's significant and that's what it is he restores reconciles to design into purpose if there's anyone here that would just say with me i i want to be reconciled to god i don't have a personal relationship with jesus i don't know what it is to be the new creation to actually be different on the inside by his doing not mine i don't want to leave this place until i know i have peace with god if that's anybody here in that category all i want you to do is put your hand up and we're just going to pray for you right back over here's one anybody else put your hand up right down here's another one put

hand up again if if you're raised in right here anyone sitting around them just put your hand on their shoulder just pray for them right now pray for the greatest most significant breakthrough of their life to come right now to come right now with the spirit of god to come upon them at the end i'm going to ask you guys to come to the front here to talk with our team but right now i want you to

the moment we stop being impressed by the size of our problem and uh for most of us we just need to shift our attention to a perfect loving father who is more than able to repair and to fix that situation i want you to extend your hand towards these some of you stand stand around them just pray for them once again on bethel tv we declare the same thing that god would work wonders in your household in your family and the family members that have been out of sorts with other family members we declare that jesus bore the dividing wall on his flesh when he was crucified he took away the

goodness gracious in this in this room you know this colon cancer guy was a gang leader from another city who heard that god was healing people and he came here and he got healed and the report i got

know how many i know this is hard for some to believe but i i've been there i've i've seen they they've had hundreds of resurrections from the dead and here's the deal they don't even count it a resurrection unless they've been dead at least four hours so if they've not been breathing for three and they're cold and stiff and they're raised up that's a healing you gotta have standards it's not

name thank you god there's a few of the folks we're praying for right now this will make sense to a small handful of you is there's an economic issue in your life and it's been there for several generations and we're just really to break that cycle that generational curse of lack off if that's you let the people that are praying for you just say that's me it's been multiple generations and then those of you pray pray with that with that insight we just break that cycle of generational lack we just declare it ends now in jesus mighty name all right just declare over them we bless you in the name of the lord and now let's have everybody stand for this last one all right everybody stand how many of you have a family member who is not walking with jesus this man it's it's not everybody but it's almost everybody in the room so this is what we're going to do just grab a hand and if the person you are holding hands with if you don't know their name by now that's your fault you've been

enjoy this message by pastor bill johnson for more information about this podcast and other resources visit bethel.com hey i felt like uh something i was supposed to do today uh uh it's like we're pulling our car into the bay at the repair shop we're gonna get a little tune-up something that uh that we have pretty good training and real good exposure we've been working on for a lot of years as the concept of testimony and the prophetic nature of a testimony uh so to do this right i've got to take you on just a little bit of a personal journey oh goodness 30 i don't know 38 years something like that ago i was pastoring in in weaverville and i was in my office and i was reading praying reading in the morning i was going through the book of revelation and i came to this verse in revelation 19 10 it says the testimony of jesus is the spirit of prophecy and when i was reading through revelation when i came to that verse it just it's just one of those moments you know that you have in god words it's kind of like it's on neon lights and like something happened here that i can't explain i love learning here first because your heart can fit where your head can't fit so it's it's uh he invites us into things that we have perception of here that we can't comprehend and it's it's a wonderful way to learn so anyway i sense life on that verse i actually stopped i stopped my reading i looked at that verse i said god there's something here i know you want to teach me and i said please show me what this means show me what this means uh went on through the the morning and it was that afternoon maybe you know an hour two two hours three hours later i was in uh i was in in my office and uh just doing work and one of the guys from the church came and stood in the doorway from the sanctuary my uh this our church facility at the time the sanctuary was here there was a door came into my office so he stood in the doorway and he walked in he said i said bill i said come on in sit down he said no he says i've got to get back to work i just wanted to tell you of the miracle that god has done in healing my marriage and he stands there in the doorway and he gives me you know a three or four minute synopsis of the miracle that god had done in his marriage and so i i thanked him for the report he turned to leave and he got about this far away and he turned around and he said you can tell this story to anyone you want you can tell my story to anyone you want i knew in that moment that something just happened that was connected to my prayer that morning i couldn't have taught on it i couldn't have explained it but i could tell they were related they had just shared a testimony with me and he was giving me permission to repeat that story so let's take the verse the testimony of jesus is the spirit of prophecy the testament of jesus say it with me the testimony of jesus is the spirit of prophecy let's do it again the testimony of jesus is the spirit of prophecy all right number one the testimony of jesus is is a spoken or written record of anything he's done all right so the testament of jesus is a spoken or written record of anything that he's done the spirit of prophecy is that prophetic anointing prophetic mantle so what is prophecy then prophecy is in two realms that i understand one is to foretell the future a prophet will describe something is about to happen on such and such a day but i think predominantly the prophetic is used not to foretell but to do something else and that is to change present situations the prophetic will be used to make a decree that actually changes the reality that an individual a family a church a city a nation uh is facing it's the word of the lord is released and it changes the situation so think of it this way the testimony of jesus carries with the weight of heaven to alter the reality of a problem or situation that we're facing it carries that it's written into the dna of a testimony that it has that ability to actually change reality change realities so i uh i was in rochester minnesota i was with a dear friend there assembly got church and um i i had spoken at a night meeting i spent some time praying for a young lady she had she had been in a snowmobile accident her ankle was put back together with pins and and you know metal stuff to make it work and so she had pain she had restricted movement she had all that going on in her ankle and uh so now i'm just telling you the only way i know to learn in some of these things is to either have a mentor or to experiment and since i didn't know anyone who knew anything about the power the prophetic nature of a testimony of jesus we had to experiment so the safest way to experiment is with uh people that you know and trust that you live accountable to so that if you over extend yourself they reel you back in and and you you clean up your mess but but yeah you have to be you have to be willing to experiment if you're gonna if you're gonna try to touch new things so so um this gal comes to me uh the nick i pray for this night she comes to me the next morning and she says uh she said bill you prayed for me last night i said yeah how was your ankle she said when i got up this morning i was getting dressed and my husband looked at my leg and said hey that wasn't there before and she looks down she was actually missing a part of this calf muscle because of this accident and it grew back overnight it grew back so it is it's there it grew back overnight so i thought well that's so cool i said here tell her you know we've got probably i don't know 20 or 30 people in this meeting it was a morning meeting and and so i said tell them the story and um and so she tells the uh their testimony that the accident and the missing muscle and then it actually grew back overnight and so as soon as she starts going back to her seat there's a gal sitting right here on the front row from toronto that was a friend of the house she was but she was visiting she walked right up to me after the scale leave she said she says to me if god did that for her certainly he would do that for me now she had she had a brilliant understanding of the kingdom the number one god is no respecter of persons what he's done for one he'll do for another it doesn't have us in categories where these people get special things and these people get the crumbs it's not how he works so she understood that number one number two she understood that god is the same yesterday today and forever so something he's done at another time he'll he'll do again so she says what uh if god did that for her certainly he would do that for me and so i called the gal that just got healed i called her back he said come back here and then the pastor's wife they came up they prayed for they watched she had had been in an accident and had to actually go through therapy to learn to walk again because she's missing a part of this muscle in in the leg she actually had to learn how to walk again so that's why she wants prayer so the pastor's wife and this young lady come up they lay hands on her and they watch and before their eyes the muscle forms and is is recreated it's a creative miracle in the moment in that instant that's that's amazing two other women came up it's like an epidemic of calf muscle problems you know it's like how do you get that many people in that small of a crowd that all have something similar with their with their leg muscle so two other gals come up one had been kicked by a horse and destroyed a portion of the muscle she had a growth in its place and the other one i don't remember the details but they prayed they watched the the growth the tumor disappeared the muscle fill the the fourth one the same thing so uh we of course we we celebrated just the kindness of the lord in doing such unusual things in such a such a small group of people it's just amazing i flew from there to another city in tennessee and um i don't remember the name of the town though it wasn't nashville it wasn't a place that i normally go to and uh i was with there with a with a good friend and so i gave them the stories of these healings these of these four uh leg muscle things and a medical doctor was there who had broken his leg a year earlier uh the muscles had atrophied he had restricted movement a lot of pain and so he he won a prayer so he came up and i had a bunch of students with me they prayed for him and he came to me sometime later in the evening and wanted to give me a report i said i said what's going on with your leg he said he said the pain is all gone he says i've got all the movement back but i was curious about the muscle thing you know because we we got a we got a roll going here of muscles that's going back i said how how's the muscle the atrophied muscles in your leg he said i can feel the skin stretching so i i flew home and i shared those five stories here on a sunday morning probably and there was a gal here that i think it was two weeks later we're in a small meeting we used to uh we were taking some time to pray over some folks and in a separate private meeting there's maybe 15 or 20 of them we're praying and she says but uh she says i i need to tell you stories she said two weeks ago do you remember when you gave the testimonies of the of god healing the legs the muscles i said yeah i do she said i broke my leg a year earlier the muscles had atrophied i had restricted movement and and pain and while you were giving the testimonies my leg turned hot and we have since learned hot is good her leg turned hot and she was completely healed without anybody praying so so what happened is uh i started stewarding these stories and i would experiment um i would give a story and then we would find out what god was doing now how many of you have heard testimonies before in church you know deliverance from drugs healing of bodies whatever it might be the stories i grew up on hearing them and they were always so encouraging and so exciting but i don't remember one time in all my years of growing up where a testimony was given and a miracle followed as a result of the story and yet it is in god's plan it's in his dna so adjusting how we think actually puts us in line for how he moves adjusting how we think adjusting what we expect i was on the coast with uh once again with a bunch of our students and we were we had a meeting there that ended up i think it's the only meeting in my life i lost complete control of and i'm not a control freak i just control freak but i like to direct the traffic you know i like to make sure this person is healed and this person gives testimony and stuff but i i lost control of everything i finally i i did i finally quit i finally just got into the fray because it was i realized i can't get this meeting back so forget it they're having all the fun and i'm trying to direct traffic so so i uh [Applause] i got down into the into the fray with people and i mean we this is where we've got uh empty wheelchair we got a wheelchair being passed up over people's heads up to the front and a gal with a permanent nerve damage down the right side of her or one side of the body i forget which side uh was completely healed blind eye was open deafness was open all kinds of stuff so the students come to me and they said we just prayed for this little boy uh with club feet and god healed him i said well bring him to me i want to see him so they went got this little guy's three years old and his feet are like this and he's got scabs on the tops of his feet because they were on the bottom of the feet where he would he would drag them and he's three so a little guy named chris so he's bending over he's playing with the scabs he's touching the scabs because they were out of view before you know now now he sees so he's touching the scabs and one of his little friends comes a little girl comes up to him says run chris run so he takes off in this like this 20-foot circle he runs he comes running back to this little girl and he says i can run i can run his eyes are like this you know his his face is lit up with joy oh man it's just enough to wreck you you know for the rest of your life you never forget the look on that face so he comes back he says i can run i can run so we we bring the story home of course and i i share the story here we had somebody visiting us from out of state and they had i think three children if i remember right and one of them was a little girl almost two years old her feet were turned in so severe that she would trip over her own feet when she would try to run she was in our child care and so i taught on the concept of the testimony and then i gave the testimony of the club feet she hears the concept that god intends to duplicate miracles did i mention this the hebrew word the old testament word for testimony comes from a word that means do again that the very nature when he says keep a testimony keep a record of what i want to duplicate of what i want to do again it was never meant to be a historical factor that pointed to an old event it was supposed to be a present tense reality that releases the activity of god into present situations and so i i taught on that just briefly i shared the testimony she she says in her heart she says i'll take that for my little girl when the meeting is over she goes over to get her little girl and her little girl's feet are already straight nobody prayed for nobody [Applause] wow [Applause] that hurts a friend of mine would say if that doesn't light your fire your wood is wet so yeah that's that's amazing so i take that story those two stories and i i was with mahesh and bonnie shoved how many you know the shavdas and north carolina wonderful people dear friends of ours were we we ministered there every year with them and they've been here many many times so i i was there and i was talking about a series of it happens to be one of the times i was teaching on the concept of the testimony and giving them stories and in giving the stories i talked about the club feet i talked about the little girl and some other leg issue stories so uh after the meeting we spent a little bit of time with mahesh and bonnie and and then our we have a driver someone who takes us from the hotel to the meeting from the meeting back to the hotel so he's from brazil so he he meets us at the end of the meeting and we get into the car and he says i just got a phone call from and i don't remember enough it's his sister-in-law or her sister but he says i just got a phone call and my sister let's say it was my sister was watching tonight's meeting on on the internet on live tv and she has a little girl about 10 or 11 years old that has deformed feet she's a beautiful young lady but not only the inconvenience of a problem with the feet but people just stare at their feet so it's it's not only a natural issue it's an issue emotionally and so the mother is watching online she hears the story the series of stories and at the end of it she calls her daughter who's down at the other end of the house she calls her name the little girl comes into the hallway and says yes mommy and the the mother looks at her daughter and says take her shoes off she removes her shoes and she says come here as she walks towards her mother god heals her feet completely they completely completely straighten up you know it's it's not a tool that we use to manipulate it's the it's the privilege to broadcast the nature of god because every testimony reveals the nature of god and reveals his covenant with man the nature of god in his covenant with us i was in the modesto and um i was a wonderful assembly of that church there which is which is my history so i have a special fondness uh for the assemblies and i was i was in this uh and it ended up it was another healing meeting and great stuff's happening but this gal comes up to me towards the end she just walks up to me she said her first words out of her mouth the voices stopped i went all right um help me understand give me give me some story here she says the voice has stopped i said okay tell me what was happening at that point her father walks up who's a retired surgeon and he begins to explain to me she is bipolar she's had bipolar she's on medication she her particular issue she was constantly hearing voices and now nobody prayed for this was during worship the voices stopped and the voice has stopped she's trying to figure out what do i do because she has this lifestyle of many many years i think i memorized 13 years of medication treatments whatever so now both the dad and the daughter are talking to me want to know what do we do and so i try to give them advice how to navigate this uh this that that god is doing and so that was a i believe it was a thursday night not the next sunday but a week later should be 10 days later i was standing right back there and this gentleman walks up to me says do you remember me he said i was in modesto you you talked to me about my daughter and his his words to me were i have my daughter back i have my daughter back absolutely no effects no medication nothing she's completely restored in every possible way and it was during worship it's during worship so i i stood up here and shared the testimony that we have this case of bipolar being healed there were two men in the room at that time that both had had both had bipolar for over 20 years each and the moment it came out of my mouth instantly they were both healed instantly sometimes this process but in this situation it was instantly they were healed we quit counting about 10 uh 10 maybe 12 years ago the bipolar healings but for a season or where we just kept counting them and it was something like 60 or 65 of them but i think only three or four were actually prayed for all the rest were healed either in worship or in a testimony just hearing the report of the lord now the testimony of jesus is the spirit of prophecy old testament testimony comes from a word that means to do again new testament it is the prophetic nature of the work of god i want to read a quote to you how many of you know charles spurgeon was one of the great great heroes of the faith an amazing pastor from england and he made this comment july 17 1859 and no i was not there but but it was it was it was recorded all right there we go i have to lean you know that's my crutch all right here's what he said he preached a message called the story of god's mighty acts and here's the statement he made he says when people hear about what god used to do one of the things they say is oh that was a very long while ago i thought it was god that did it has god changed is he not an immutable god the same yesterday today and forever does not that furnish an argument to prove that what god has done at one time he can do at another nay i think i shall push it a little further and say what he has done once is a prophecy of what he intends to do again whatever god has done is to be looked upon as a precedent let us with earnestness seek what god would restore to us in the uh the faith of these old men that we may richly enjoy the grace as in the days of old so here in 1859 the body of christ has an opportunity to step into a reality that i don't think was very common i've never read one other person write or talk about this reality and yet it's as plain as can be in scripture the nature of testimony and the and the spirit of prophecy and revelation and yet spurgeon makes this announcement with incredible influence and i don't know what happened but it appears to me it just got reduced to a good sermon instead of an invitation to explore what might be possible if we actually treasured the record of what god has done so now fast forward the book of deuteronomy is the is the book um that uh from what i understand uh young men jewish young men would would uh need to learn and memorize and it's kind of the cultural book of the of the uh the books of law and uh and i i used to read it and read it reread it reread it because in it was the instruction to train your children raise them up in specific ways and which is a huge part of my life so um i i was reading through and he says in deuteronomy 6 he says keep the commandment keep the statutes and keep the testimony keep the commandment keep the statutes keep the testimony okay we know what it means to keep a commandment says you worship on this day you worship on this day so he would give them specific commandments you offer this kind of an offering this kind of a sacrifice you just do what he says so keeping a commandment a commandment is to obey god what is keeping a statute keeping the statutes of god is where he is teaching us his value system so in a commandment he is telling you what to think but in a statute he's telling you how to think that was better than your response in a commandment he's telling you what to think in the statutes he's telling you how to think he's actually showing you his perception on reality and how he how he how he navigates it wants us to navigate life so he says keep the commandment keep the statutes and then he says keep the testimony how do you keep a testimony i mean it's not like doing something you know it's not like sacrificing an ox or something it's it's it's you're supposed to hold on to something and my conclusion uh through studying especially in the gospel of mark uh in the the lifestyle of jesus that keeping the testimony basically means this to me is that i hold the record of god's interventions among people so close to me that they become the lenses through which i see present problems or challenges in other words i interpret them through a history with god a prescribed history with god has now given me lenses through which to see possibility in a problem instead of just a problem the nature of god in a situation how is god going to become triumphant now in this situation oh it's amazing it's it's amazing but because we actually have the ability to steward the record of god's supernatural intervention so well that they become how we see they become the place from which we think the place from which we see the place from which we act the place from which we pray testimony it's not just an exciting encouraging moment just a moment in a service or in our life we we just kind of get a a boost of encouragement strength it's much more than that it is imagine elijah standing in front of you prophesying that's what a testimony is it is prophesying this is the heart of god this is the nature of god this is the covenant of god and it is available to you that's what a testimony is i want you to look with me at psalm 68 if you would i had a guy come up to me once [Music] at a conference he said i i said he said i'm 34 years old 25 years ago when i was nine i broke my leg when it healed it grew past the other one inch and a half and i've got problems with my back now i'm a contractor i've got issues with my back because my broken leg when it healed it just got happy and went past the other one happy was my turn not his and he said have you ever seen a lake shrink before because he's wanting to know if there's a testimony for so i figure if we haven't there's always got to be a first time right so i paused for a moment i thought i thought you see yes i have i've seen it happen i was in an italian restaurant with a pastor friend of mine in sacramento he had been in a snowmobile accident when they put him back together apparently they had too many parts because he had a leg that was too long so he's telling me in the restaurant i said i'll just turn your chair aside so in the italian restaurant you know the nice linen table claws and everything we just i just give me your leg so we'll lift his legs up and i command the long leg just to shrink so it just shrinks just like that he goes back to the therapist told me later he said therapist said it's perfect everything's just right so i so i told the guy yes i've seen it happen i said get a chair and of course if we've never seen it get a chair anyway because there's got to be a first time so he sits down and i'm holding his leg and sure enough he's got a leg that's an inch and a half longer than the other one sorry i'm laughing i'm holding i'm holding his legs up and uh and sure enough one is is an inch and a half longer than the other and i just had this moment where i thought should i shrink the long one or should we see if god would call the normal one no it it took me 10 seconds to ponder but i i just kind of surprised myself by saying you know to the normal leg to grow it's kind of like the guy who says i don't want to think before i speak i want to be as surprised as everyone else and that was that was kind of how i how i was in that moment i found myself saying to the normal leg i said in jesus name uh grow and we just watched oh it's this one's too long i've got to watch my time here this one's kind of a weird story it grows it grows and then it shoots past the other one i'm not kidding i i would give anything to have a video of this moment because the guy's in pain how many of you had growing pains when you were a kid yeah so did he 34 years old he got like two years of growth in in a moment his leg is sticking out there and i'm on the outside i'm acting like oh yeah this happens on the inside i'm saying oh jesus i'm searching my heart how do i pray now that's honest my question how do i pray now and i remembered the word shalom in the bible so the word shalom is of course we notice the word peace but it is one of the fullest most pregnant words in the bible it's sound mind it's prosperity financially it's divine health it's all these things anything you would ever ask for in life it's wrapped up in that word so what i'm thinking is that word's got to cover this and so i prayed with all the confidence in the world jesus help me i just prayed now lord i just pray that you release the peace the shalom of heaven over this man and and it just evened out perfectly the testimony prophesied oh sometimes you just do dumb things and sometimes the lord just honors it anyway i was i was in another city there was a gal there uh completely deaf here that opened up she had had bone cancer and they replaced this bone with metal and uh and they made it she had the surgery when she's 15 they made an inch and a half too long because they knew she'd grow into it or she didn't grow anymore and so she's got the same kind of issue and so she has to put her deaf ear open and then prayed for a leg having had a recent experience with growing the wrong leg that whole situation it was fresh in my mind i thought i'm not messing with this so i she was laid out on the floor so i got out on the floor and spoke to the leg and it it actually the metal part actually shrunk came back into the line she came to me the next day she said i'm so glad that you you had the metal leg shrink and i said why is that she said because if you didn't the doctors would have said see we told you you'd grow into it if i go the other way so sometimes you look good when you don't deserve it that's that's my conclusion is i did not know what i was doing psalm 78 are you there we've got a few minutes late left i went uh 78 is what i meant did i say 60 well you know what just have a good time in 68 because it's a great chapter it's to let god arise his enemies be scattered it's a great chapter but i'm going to be reading out of psalm 78 so if you want to join me join me psalm 78. we'll start what right with uh verse three is referring to dark sayings and parables he says which we have heard and known and our fathers have told us we will not hide them from their children telling to the generation to come the praises of the lord and his strength and his wonderful works that he has done what just happened there now think while you're reading this they are being exhorted to train their children on not only the report of the law of god the commandments but to train him with the report of his wonderful works which is what that's a testimony yes yes all right verse 5 he established a testimony in jacob he appointed a law in israel which he commanded our fathers that they should make them known to their children that the generation to come might know them the children who would be born that they may arise and declare them to their children so if you can see this was a pattern of a value system for the spoken or written record of all that god's done to be given to this generation they would give it to the next generation they'd give to the next generation now it tells us why and this is important verse 7 that they may set their hope in god there's something about the testimony that conditions or positions a child or an adult to position himself to place hope in god when a trial comes their instinctive response is i'm going to trust god he's the god who works wonders i don't understand what he's going to do i don't know how he's going to do it but i'm going to trust him where did that come from it came because the cloud of their heart so so to speak was seated with this thought that god is faithful in impossible situations so here it says it says that they may set their hope in god and not forget his works the works of god keep his commandments are you guys still alive you sure you're still alive all right what i want you to notice is is not forgetting the works of god and keeping the commandments the testimony and the courage to obey they're connected this is really a big deal because what what we do for ourselves what we do for our children our grandchildren we set the stage for them to have courage because it takes courage to obey god takes courage we want courageous obedience radical obedience out of my life that's what i want so here he says we keep the testimony going multiple generations why so that they'll put hope in god and that their their they won't forget the works of god and will have the courage to obey god now he illustrates it in the next three verses all right verse nine that the children of ephraim being armed and carrying bows turned back in the day of battle they did not keep the covenant of god they refused to walk in his law they forgot his works and his wonders that he had shown them okay walk through this these three verses with me verse nine the children of ephraim are armed in other words they're prepared for battle they're skilled they're trained for battle they've got all the equipment necessary he said the children of ephraim being armed and carrying those turned back in the day of battle so why did they turn back in in why did they become cowardly when there was a conflict verse 10 tells you because they didn't keep the covenant of god they refused to walk in his law how do you know if you're not walking into obedience spiritual warfare is not where you want to be because you you become very vulnerable so they turn back in a day of battle why because they didn't they had not been walking in obedience why weren't they walking in obedience verse 11. they forgot his works and the wonders that he had shown them there is something about the testimony that instinctively breathes into our soul a courage for radical obedience it's a part of the process it's how you keep strong in your confidence and faith in god what happens if if the the testimony of the lord if we decline in sharing testimony then we see miracles less if we see miracles less we expect them less if we expect them less we talk about them less we talk about them less we see them less we expect there's this downward spiral into the point where miracles have become a mere part of our history some time ago god used to do such and such which is where so much of the church is right now it was in their history it was in israel's history it was in the the book of acts it was it was the memory of something that happened back there but it's not a current reality it's not a present tense experience and the testimony is supposed to become that which invites us into this relational journey where we learn how to take we learn how to take these things that god has said and we simply trust god we put our lives on the line to take risk to see what he might do and it's simply because i've been built up by the record of the supernatural interventions of god [Music] i love it when god will give us a glimpse of what he's doing because it's fun to gain an understanding but oftentimes he moves and i'm just clueless i'm a clueless observer that's just frantically trying to learn i'm not a facilitator in a sen you know in the sense that i made anything happen i'm just i'm i've told him i said god i just want to be in the room it doesn't have to come from me i just want to be a part and there are there are things that he does the moment in dallas where pray for this individual who with the lightning of god literally goes through him from head to toe and he's completely delivered and healed of schizophrenia completely he comes to me a year later in his right mind completely because god brought a miracle to him he ended up going to africa and ministered i think he personally was able to bring liberty and freedom through his own testimony to about 40 people that were considered insane mentally gone it's a testimony it's it's like god has give imagine being given um you know you know a priceless uh gem uh how do you know if you've been if somebody comes to you and says i'll give you a million dollars if you can wear this ring it's worth 10 million dollars you can't lose it but you have to wear it you can't put it hide it away how many of you think you've got that ring on your hand you're going to be looking at it all day long you're going to be wrapping tape you're going to do all kinds of stuff to make sure we don't lose this thing all right i'm aware of the value of what's on my hand are you aware of the value of what's in your mouth it's the record it's the it's the revelatory testimony of the heart the nature the covenant of god that actually invites people into a personal relationship with jesus paul when he was in trouble he would revert to his personal story into his own testimony it's not just the miracles of healing it's the deliverance salvation is the greatest miracle of all and everybody in this room has that kind of a story i believe that god wants to give us an upgrade and this will sound a little strange but but actually the whole thing's been rather strange so it's if if you want to if you want to change the atmosphere of a room go to you know say a restaurant you go into a restaurant three or four people sit down and take the first 20 minutes only to share miracle stories i don't mean miracle stories so that you impress people around you i mean so that the atmosphere changes because the angelic realm is fascinated by your perspective of jesus the son of god and they love hearing the stories of what you've had happen what you've seen what you know about him they are enthralled with him but every story we share they catch another glimpse of what he's like through the eyes of someone who is redeemed simply sharing stories i i feel like the lord would just give us an upgrade in this area we're going to be touching you know i'm thankful beyond words on what i've seen happen what we've seen happen we've seen happen in this room what we've seen happen in our city it's just it floors me sometimes i i get in here early sunday morning i just walk around and i just i just remember oh colon cancer was healed here a woman after 50 some years in a wheelchair gets out right there after a stroke she walks right over here um ms multiple sclerosis was healed west nile vir or noah uh m.e uh this same person had several conditions they were healed just walk around this room the guy who was run over by a 14-ton truck completely crushed his ankle and he receives prayer over here there's a pop his nut his ankle turns cold there's a pop and it's completely totally you completely here just go through the store one after the other the woman who who could hardly open her mouth and just very little movement because he broke her jaw ten years earlier and there was very little movement extreme pain to open her mouth wide the dentist they didn't have time to give her any kind of novocaine or anything uh because of the pain she suffered with and yet one sunday morning just simply praying for those with broken bones she's instantly completely totally healed right back over here a man with prostate cancer that's healed a woman right down here a tumor in her breast just simply devol dissolves and the stories go on and on and on and on there are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them but none of them are badges of honor they're all records of a of a god who is willing to work in and through very imperfect people he just he just looks for people that have a value for his nature and will give him an opportunity to do what he does best he works in the impossible i'm there in the journey and i believe in this fall season we've got some stuff coming up in another couple weeks three weeks maybe we're going to be targeting this even more not the testimony side but the miracle round because i believe it's a season for an upgrade the this that and it's honestly for everybody in this room you know jesus asked the questions of his disciples once he they were they were bewildered by the challenge that he had just given him they they just it's one of these moments they're they're literally just beside themselves bewildered and so he then asked them this series of questions and these series of questions have helped me a lot he asked his disciples because they were they were concerned about not having enough food after he just multiplied food you know like the day before which is it just comforts me to see other people that think as dumb as i do i just and when it's in the bible i just feel so much better and so they're puzzled by this and then jesus asked them a series of questions he says can you see and you can tell they're not answering so he says can you hear and they're still just staring and he says can you remember those questions have helped me incredibly because there are times i'm i'm tr i i'm always trying to see i'm always trying to see what is god doing i'm always trying to hear what is he saying so i'm let's just say in a moment like this i'm just trying to discern what is it the lord is doing around the room and so he comes to me and he says can you see and my heartfelt response is no i i don't see anything so then he says what can you hear well my hearing's better than my scene but at the moment i don't hear anything and then he says can you remember yes i can i can remember i can remember i can remember flying back from new zealand after having spent some time with great hero of the faith for me winky pratny it had a stroke his brain part of his brain literally just blew up and he was completely healed restored in his right mind i was on the plane thinking about this miracle of healing with the brain and i recall to my mind roland baker a wonderful friend of our house had had x-rays of his brain actually dying and the lord completely healed him raised him up so i'm thinking on the plane flying back from new zealand these are the two smartest men i have ever met and god restored their brains i'll bet god is healing brains i'll bet that's what he's doing can you see i don't see it and i don't hear it but i i can remember and the the more i remember the better i hear and the more i hear the better i see so we came in here on a sunday and i called out i said god is healing brains went right back here you remember this kevin you were right back here praying for this young lady she's in fact we have the testimony in video she was dying she was dying terminal systemic lupus of the brain chris had a word of knowledge but somebody had a blow to the head she's right back there and she would uh when she'd get up in the morning sometimes she'd pass out and she'd be unconscious for 30 days 30 days she's dying of this of this disease and chris has this word of knowledge and pray here's this moment god is healing brains and what happens she's completely healed her mother looks at her the next morning says you look like you did before the accident before the accident she then comes to the school of ministry i think she's in oxford right now she's in some smart school because she's a smarty [Applause] smart so the lord heals a young kid over here he had a head that was misshapen because of abuse he was two years old i think he was two and it misshapen he was very disconnected he didn't associate with people he'd wake up in the morning he's very disconnected and some of our students prayed for him after this announcement god is healing brains and they pray for this child the next morning the child comes into his mother which is a miracle comes into the mother and said i had a dream last night excuse me he was four so this happened until the time he was two he said i had a dream last night i'm okay now and they examined him and his head was back to normal shape god is healing brains why don't you stand there can you see yeah i'm not seeing much can hear i try sometimes i hear can you remember can you remember folks listen to me you have a responsibility this is not a pastoral issue this is not a ministry team issue this is a people of god issue what have you seen god do here's the great news you may say i've hardly ever seen anything happen i mean my own testimony is a great miracle but i've never seen healing or or deliverance or any of those things and that's you know that's totally fine i had a long season in my life where i'd never seen anything but there's a verse in psalms 119 verse 111 and it makes this statement the testimony of the lord is your inheritance forever think about it the testimony of the lord is your inheritance forever what is the testimony of the lord it's the full record of anything he has ever done on planet earth he did it with moses he did it with the elijah with david with paul with whoever it's your story it's your testimony no you didn't get it the full record of god's activity with people is your inheritance why is that important why is that important because the scripture says they overcame him by the blood of the lamb there's the legal basis and the word of your testimony so now the word of my testimony is not just what i have experienced in my life but it includes what you've experienced so i hear your story that's a part of my weaponry that's a part of the tools that i use to ensure i walk in victory in this present situation so father i pray for a fresh fresh grace that you'd inspire us from the inside out to treasure their record the reports of the miracles the interventions of god that we've seen and that we're about to see that we would never treat them carelessly or casually but we could together again stand in all and celebrate you for your kindness your mercy that would do such extraordinary things with such simple simple people as we are i ask this that the name of jesus would be exalted thanks for listening to the sermon of the week
