just believe that the best is yet to come and you know you know god is taffy preached a message some years ago called the god of the surprise and god i believe i believe god rated him to uh uh invade your life with some surprises and that's that's things that you know that god can do but you know sometimes you're trying to figure out what you did to make it happen and sometimes it's just a surprise sometimes it's just god showing up to do what he do and what does he do he's a good god that's right and he shows goodness and and that goodness is something that encourages us something that just causes us to praise god even the more just praise him more for what he's done i mean has god just done things for you that you didn't work for you didn't earn you didn't you didn't deserve it and you looked up one day and bam the god of surprise has invaded your space that's good well i believe that the god of the surprise is ready to invade your space he's if he's he's ready to invade your day yeah the god of the surprise and that's what happened to mary just context for everybody is when jesus was about to be born that was the announcement that was made to mary it said in the scripture the message translation says mary i have a surprise for you and that was the birth of jesus christ and god can do the same thing he wants to favor his children favor you favor us each and every day yeah and i i'm i'm open for the surprise and uh you you be open too for the surprise and man i tell you you know we we've been talking um all week about you know how i've been sharing with you personal notes that i made on on how to develop um intimacy with god i got one more to give today and and then taffy's going to talk to some of you about healing yes and uh it's important that we understand that and uh why don't we start off before we make our psalms 91 confession share with us some things on healing show what god's put on your heart yeah so i just know that um the enemy's always trying to um attack us in our relationships and attack us in our bodies and i know there may be some of you who are believing god for healing in a certain area or maybe you got a report not so good report and um we just want to add our faith and we can connect through technology and agree together on god's healing power to be manifest we know there's no distance in the spirit and and that that same anointing is able to uh touch your body and so we're gonna believe god this morning for healing he is jehovah rapha yeah uh the one who heals all of our diseases according to isaiah and so um we can release healing this morning in areas of growth tumors arthritis [Music] heart and blood or arteries and cells and then um what we'll start with is healthy bones and marrows and so um first peter says whom healed all of us and has taken away all sickness and disease and so we we just believe god for uh his healing power that you have healthy bones and marrow and your joints and everything that the power of god the zoe life of god will permeate every bone and every joint in your body and so um the scripture says in um proverbs 16 and proverbs 17 that um we can make a demand on our bones to produce perfect marrow and to produce pure blood that will ward off sickness and disease and so um it says uh that we can make a demand on joints to function perfectly that there'll be no pain no swelling in joints and the spirit of god will deal with all discomfort providing relief from any pain right now in the name of jesus christ i agree that you are free from any discomfort and that the spirit of the lord will bring relief in jesus name jesus name we believe that amen and we're too agree as touching anything they shall ask it is well that's right it is well with you today as

depart from my eyes i'll keep them in the midst of my heart for they are life and healing to all my flesh so just like you were to take medication take the word of god as uh spiritual medication or

servant and abraham's blessings are mine abraham's blessings are mine in jesus name jesus name you are blessed amen we receive it hey we were talking about and sharing with you uh some things that uh i was considering back in the day where my relationship and intimacy with god is concerned and uh i were eight of them quickly i'll go through the seven and then i just have one more to share with you the first one remember was substitute the knowledge you have about god for intimate relationship with god in other words it's one thing to know to have knowledge about god and knowledge of the scripture and then don't even know god you know they're people who have a lot of knowledge about the word but they don't they don't know god so substitute your knowledge for about god for intimate relationship with god that was the first one the second one um i talked to you about how at that time it just seemed like once you got born again uh you know it seems like everything worked when you first got saved but the real test was when things are not coming as fast as they were when you first got saved will you still hang in there and stay in there and how a personal relationship with god was the key for me to say just focus on my relationship with god and whatever needs to happen to happen okay and then number three we talked about the period of time when your minds were so stayed on god that you were just walking in his presence and we gave you the phrase of in the presence of god and when your mind stayed on god you'll stay in perfect peace but uh when your mind has stayed on god you on purpose involve him in every area of your life thanking him before you go into a meeting thanking him after the meeting thanking him on the way to work thanking him when you get up in the morning you find those little areas where you can get god and involve a relationship between you and god throughout the day and not just you know one hour when you're home and that creates the practicing of the presence of the holy spirit and then psalm 16 11 says in his presence there's fullness of joy at his right hand there pleasures forevermore number four having a conscious awareness of him and being overwhelmed with his love and faith works by love and so the more aware you are of god uh the more aware you'll become with his love for you and it's not how much you love god faith works because how much you believe god loves you it's always in the new testament how much i believe god loves me do you believe god loves you well if you believe he loves you then you believe he'll heal you if you believe he loves you then you believe he'll prosper you if you believe he loves you then you believe everything we confess this morning but it's important that you have that you believe that number five the truth we can live and the truth is we can live in a realm where we are so intimate with god that things will work for us and that's what i was saying early if you just get focused on your relationship with god things just start working the god of surprise just shows up you know uh i i think we got to be careful not to become so mechanical with god and i think the the next uh area shows this in verse six this was the long one we need knowledge of god's word because his word reveals his true nature but when the word becomes technical details and formulas concerning mechanics of christianity we've lost our focus we're doing things in our own strength and not in his we're trying to impress him with works instead of being impressed by his works and who he is and so basically this point was like man i become so technical and so concerned about the mechanics of christianity that i was i had i had lost focus on the intimacy with christ and that's that's true for a lot of christians they they go and they learn a word and they just turn it in in such a technical mechanical type of deal and that's not what god wants he wants us to instead of trying to impress him with our works to wake up and say i'm impressed with his works and then it's always relationship relationship relationships so step back from the mechanics of christianity and get back into that relationship number seven understand how much god loves uh you it won't be hard to believe he will be your supply again if you understand how much he loves you it's not hard to believe he will supply for you if you believe that he loves you the only time you have problems um believing that he'll supply for you is when you start having questions about his love for you and that's what the devil will do he'll come in and have you to question whether or not god loves you all right so the final one today is those who are struggling to receive from god just need to know him better that's simple in it those who are struggling and receiving from god you just need to know him better which means spend more time with there you go yeah you gotta invest in the quality of time that you people say it's not the quantity is the quality but quantity does determine the quality yeah because it's like um you know especially when you're spending more time with something else and god gets the short end of the stick um like i said we've got to learn how to integrate him into all of our lives and when when that relationship becomes so amazing that you find yourself talking to him before you go to bed you find yourself talking to him you get up find yourself talking to him when you're showering you're walking around and to a point where people think wow man you talking to yourself well the bible says speaking to yourself in psalms hymn and spiritual songs but you're you're spending time with him i think you know if you're struggling with receiving from god it just uh needs to spend more time with it and uh i always like to ask people this um when they start questioning well how come god didn't do this and how come god didn't do that and i always ask him are you satisfied with the amount of time you've been spending with god and in his word and most of the time the answer is no i'm not well i think i think we just need to god's not like a genie and a lamp that's not what this is about he wants to know you and he wants relationship with you and he wants you to know him too yeah yeah he wants you to know him and to know his character his nature just his word i mean you say well that's jeffy i passed a dollar how can i get to know god better through his word spending time with his word reading his word praying over his word yeah speaking meditating on it yeah you don't have to become you know again the motivation can't be so mechanical that you say well i'm gonna do this so god can do that now it's like i want him i i want to do this uh god god god doesn't want you to feel like well you have to do this obligation yeah he wants he wants to know that you want him yeah i mean think about even the natural people want to be wanted god wants you to want him not not through this obligation of well i got to pray no it should be i get to pray well i got to read the bible because they said you know i need to spend more time and now i get to i get to well how come the offering plate lord i got the gills you know say give and it shall be given unto you carefully good measure yeah you're the smile on my face yeah you can't beat god's giving no matter how you try but i sure don't want to see god's not him god god doesn't get into this that's right you know i'm the obligation of of of of christianity it's it's i want to i get to yeah uh sometimes on the way home from work it's like you're spending time with god and there's so much you want to say that you can't hardly wait to get home so you can get in a little private place so y'all can talk and and you can praise him so if you don't think you're crazy in the store and you're just like man i i'm really looking forward to spending time with and then you wake up one day you realize he's real yeah he's real i i don't even know how people can talk about they don't believe god he's real i don't know if you've ever experienced it but there have been times that i was praying for something to happen and while i was praying about it god was doing it and it kind of like wait whoa whoa but he's real yeah and that's what happens when you develop that intimate relationship with him christianity is not a religion it's not technical and mechanical christianity is a real intimate knowing of god a relationship with god yeah we've made it about rule keeping you know rule keeping is not what that's not what god wants those things can guide us but eventually it's got to be man you know god i i you know the apostle paul said you know how to everything that you ask me i want he says i want to know him i want to know him and you know one day you're going to die that's that's true for everybody but you can look forward to waking up in your your spirit body in the kingdom of god that's going to be awesome so you're no longer afraid of death anymore waking up and saying man i'm with god i know him yeah i don't know personally intimately yeah you won't walk past him you know him and uh christianity is about relationship i know him and so when it when it you when when you know god you don't have to work so hard to you know try to pretend or put on this mask or you know routine there a lot of people who keep the rules and they know the harmonics uh and and they know the greek and the hebrew and and then after they keep after they finish proving to you how much they know because they want to feel important in front of you they just don't know god and there's a peace and a joy and a comfort and a confidence that comes because you i mean you seriously literally know him that's right and um when the enemy comes and says all things otherwise you know that god killed that person or a god sent that tragedy or catastrophic situations you know that ain't my god because you know god that's that's that that ain't my friend i don't and then they can show you you know three or four scriptures out of context you're like hey i appreciate what y'all showing me but that ain't god i i spend too much time with him i know him he speaks to me every day and i speak to him i that ain't him and every time that happens to me and i hear something and i'm thinking well that's in the word then i go look at it again i'm like daddy that's out of context yeah i knew that wasn't god there was a scripture that job said the lord giveth and the lord taketh away and people use that as a way to describe that god gives and god takes away but god is he's a giver yeah he's not a giver and you you know of course you have to see that whole thing in context first of all that wasn't a truth in the bible that's what job said in a deranged mind job said the lord gives and the lord taketh away blessed be the name of the lord because you got to keep reading and then job had this time of repentance and found out he needed to forgive his friends and all this other kind of stuff but it's amazing when you don't keep things in context you'll preach something like that from the pulpit where the lord giveth and the lord taketh away bless it to be the name of the lord that's what job said god didn't say that job said that and so you know when you hear things like that and you think you know why would god give me a gift or an anointing and then turn around and take it away and then people say oh my god god must have took my gift away now the bible says the gifts and callings of god are given without repentance right that's god and so that's why it's so important to rightly divide the word and to spend time with him so he you can know him for yourself and we are so weight over time y'all have a great weekend great weekend have an amazing time join us for sunday services man saturday night uh pastor west it's gonna be a wonderful weekend i'm gonna continue the series on idolatry and uh understanding modern day idolatry and uh this is gonna be a a a great time and um taffy and i we love you we're gonna talk to you about a um uh teaching we're gonna do together on relationships relationships are in trouble and we are gonna do everything we can to simplify it so you guys can understand it's not over until god says it's over unless you just decide you want it to be over but um i mean sometimes it's better to just work with what you got rather than starting all over again and i won't get into that but right you know the grass is green on the other side but it is fake grass it's astroturf nobody didn't tell you that i love y'all it's pretty though but it's pretty it's pretty pretty astral turf is pretty but it ain't good like it need to be anyway we'll talk about that later i see y'all later have a great great great weekend god bless you goodbye
