all generations and that he is concerned about every generation and so we're lifting every generation in prayer on tonight our apostle is having intentional manhood and so men you want to make sure that you're a part of intentional manhood on tonight the qr code is on i mean the short code is on the screen or you can simply go to newlight.org 411 to register for any of the events that are happening at the light this week we've got our regular stuff that we're doing and make sure that at the close of service that you take a picture of the week at a glance when they put it up on the screen but i'm excited about thursday she rose lee we're going to be talking about what about your friends all things friendship and faith my dear friend we've been friends since we were teenagers i believe when our parents met and fit with them pastor rochelle lord is going to be our guest what about your friends do you have friends that keep you in faith and so it's a conversation that you want to be a part of on this thursday and of course we've got our times of giving back let me highlight a couple things that are happening this week one of our dear members our faithful member sister elizabeth stanley went to be with the lord her public viewing is going to be held tomorrow this monday from 10 to 10 40 and then of course the private funeral services are following thereafter but make sure that you keep her family in your prayers and then we have our vaccine site at the south location on this saturday and so those of you who are hosting our uh it's our second time of hosting

that you take full advantage of that it's not just for new life members we're partnering with the fort bend county so it's open and let's spread the word and get the word out about that remember new light has several job opportunities open and so if you're interested in being an employee of the light make sure that you send your resume to human resources at newlight.org i want you to mark your calendars and make sure that you're in the house on september 22nd at 7 00 pm it's revival night with our special guest bishop william murphy will be our guest speaker and uh i'm looking for at least 300 of you to commit to be here in person we don't want to take our times of revival lightly but at the beginning of the year our apostle i talked about how there would be scheduled times of revival and normally for our church we normally do a revival conference type event at the top of the year but this year when i was in prayer for 2021 the lord laid it on my heart to do revival nights throughout the year so every quarter we've had a revival night we had a revival night with bishop mckissick and then pastor ypj and so i really want you to be a part of and make plans to be a part of the revival night on wednesday 20 uh september 22nd it's a hybrid experience but i want to know who's going to be in the house i'm looking for 300 of you to commit to be there it's one night go ahead and rearrange your schedule you want to be in the building for this apostle says it all the time there's some there's more that you can get by being on the scene than catching it through the screen he says a little different but you get a different experience when you're on the scene and not just watching it through the screen although we'll still have it available i want you to press your way and rearrange your schedule because i believe that i know for sure that bishop william murphy has a word for us but it's gonna awaken your identity but also revive the identity of the body of christ so we're not uh looking like we're second but we are ambassadors of christ we are royal priesthood we're on the cutting edge we know our assignment and our responsibility in difficult seasons our responsibility to worship to pray and so i want you to be here on wednesday september 22nd make sure you share when they start posting it on social media share that get that information out about revival night happening september 22nd and uh it's the 22nd at 7 00 p.m with bishop william murphy amen can you give our apostle and pastor be a big handclap we're always honored to have them in service with us so can we honor our apostle and pastor be this morning of course we're in our time of celebrating our church anniversary and so we celebrate them on today amen well new life since you're already standing can you have a big hand clap that it's offering time before you take your seats can you get excited about offering time this morning let's try that one more time i know y'all stand at the end but can you get excited about giving and sowing into the kingdom of god the bible says god loves a cheerful a hilarious and a prompt to do it giver and when i sow i'm in expectation of a harvest so you ought to get excited at offering time you may be seated i'm going to give you some instructions about our offering time remember on last month i expressed to you and made an appeal to you about our summer recovery seed and of course we had our time of giving in august but i told you that we really needed to do it for two months that we needed to do an extra 150 000 in the month of august and we needed to do another 150 000 extra in the month of september and so i trust that you're going to remain faithful in your giving this is not the time to scale back this is not the time to do one or the other you need to remain faithful in your tithe and in your offering that we don't just pick and choose but there's a blessing that's connected to the tithe and then there's another blessing connected to the offering that favor that grace is attached to your offering the windows of heaven blessing that's attached to your tithe that that giving that part that belongs to the lord it doesn't belong to us that 10 belongs to the lord and so i want to encourage you to do your part the demonstration of the strength of our church is not just in the great times a new light is not in trouble but it's in our ability to work together to come together to take care of kingdom needs and as we take care of kingdom needs we know that god obligates himself to take care of the needs in our lives because what you make happen for the kingdom god makes happen for you and so let me encourage you in this ninth month of this year this is not the time to scale back this is not the time to get off track but this is the time to stay focused on the kingdom principles this is the time to stay focused and plant seed so that you have harvest in every season of your life and so as we're going into the final four months of this year and we're already really into september let us remain faithful in our giving and so for our summer recovery seed i've asked that many of you pray about doing something in august and many of you did and then let's do something in september i told you last week i'm giving an extra thousand dollars apostle and pastor be gave an another again seed of five thousand dollars for our september amount of 150 000 i need you all to do your part and so my prayer is that many of you will join in and sow your thousand dollar seed with me many of you will join in and do five hundred dollars do 150 but let's do our part as an over and above giving so that we hit our goal and we go into our time of going to october with a strong summer in the surplus and in the overflow so on your categories make sure that you sow your summer surplus seed remain faithful in your ties your sowing towards your media ministry doing our part so that we advance the kingdom of god you know i was excited to be able to send a seed to those churches that were affected and impacted by hurricane ida and they were so appreciative but it's because we have the resources that we're able to be a blessing amen and so on last week we sent a offering to a church pastor moles we sent an offering to the washingtons in baton rouge and so they were so appreciative and it's because of your offerings that we can sow into others because if we have been hit by a hurricane we would want god to raise up somebody to use their power their ability and their influence to help us and thank god new life church is strong that we can do that that even in this season while we're sowing more that we can sow and be a blessing to others and so i want you to remain faithful in your giving because you know your church is active in changing lives your church is active and doing ministry at a whole nother level but actively sowing into ministries to those who have been impacted and so let's remain faithful in our giving let's remain faithful in our ties and offerings let's do our part for our summer recovery seed because we agree together that what we make happen for the kingdom of god god will make happen for us and so you can go online and give it newlight.org slash give you can text new light to 71441 you can download the gimlifie app look for new light church one five three five

loves a cheerful hillary hilarious and a prompt to do it give her and so i'm going to pray and then after i pray we're going to stand we're all going to make our faith confession together because we

open my mouth boldly to make known your word father we thank you for the holy spirit and we thank you father for the ministry of the holy spirit that as the word goes forth our ears are open to hear our hearts are receptive to receive and so father we thank you in advance that this word on today will shift us to another place of expectation it will shift us to another place of believing but god most importantly let it shift us to another place where we will boldly act upon your word let your anointing flow freely in this place let it flow from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet let it pour out into this auditorium so that we leave this place a different way than we've entered god you be glorified in our lives and in our church and we thank you father for the harvest of souls and we declare that none of the harvest is lost and we will be careful to give you alone the praise the glory the honor and the adoration for all that shall be accomplished and all that shall be revealed in jesus name amen can you give the lord a good shout of praise then you may be seated in the presence of our god how many excited to be in the house of the lord this morning i was glad when they said unto me let us go to the house of the lord to think that we are here 37 years later still doing ministry still changing lives still building a victorious people who are the catalysts of change because as we said last week i make the difference do i have any difference makers in the house if you know you make the difference shout out i make the difference i'm excited about today's word get your bibles out and turn to first peter chapter two we're gonna get into the message on today because i make the difference and make the difference in everything that i do i make the difference in my life you make the difference the bible is clear that we have a role in responsibility to be difference makers and so i trust that as you're going to first peter to those of you who are watching online that you have your bible your another device in your hand something that you can find the scriptures or take notes with they're going to put the scriptures on the screen if you can't get to them in enough time but i want you to stay locked in for the next 35-40 minutes because i promise you this lesson is going to take your life to a whole nother level shout out i make the difference the bible says in first peter 2 9 but you are a chosen generation a royal priesthood a holy nation a peculiar people that you should show forth the praises of him who have called you out of darkness into his marvelous light shout out i make the difference turn over to matthew chapter 5 verse 16 because last week we started uh talking about how we are do we make the difference and today's lesson is about what to do with the breakthrough revelation that you have been enlisted and empowered by god to make the difference in the kingdom of god and life situations and so we started this series last week and i know for some it you know some people who just heard us or saw us post hashtag i make the difference they really thought we were being arrogant but it's not an arrogant statement it's just simply saying that i understand that i am the catalyst that sets in motion change for my life and so we introduced this message last week establishing how special we are in the plan of god because the order of god requires human participation and partnership for his involvement in earth's affairs shout out i make the difference because i make the difference says i'm the catalyst that sets in motion change so that means i've got to stop making excuses that better for my life is someone else's responsibility and understand that no more excuses truth be told change starts with what i choose to do i can't blame mom of them i can't blame puking them i can't blame the government in them i can't blame them all together i can't blame they said i have to understand that for my life to go to another level i am the catalyst that sets change in motion and it's about what i choose to do so i make the difference and that's really what god was telling joshua with his actions when he was a successor of moses he says wait a minute joshua don't you get in fear you got to be courageous because it's about what you choose to do so if you stay in my word and you meditate in my word and do what i've told you to do for then thou shall make thy way prosperous and then thou shalt have good success he told joshua you can be successful but it's about what you choose to do with your assignment shout out i make the difference you go over to matthew 5 where you should be right now in this mentoring message of jesus there was this moment where jesus wanted to get them to see how very special they were and the mission before them was possible because of who they were and that's the same thing for us and so matthew 5 13 says ye are the salt of the earth but if the salt have lost its savior then where shall it be salted it is then forth good for nothing but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men ye are the light of the world a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel but on a candlestick and it given light unto all that were in the house let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven and so all throughout the bible we see jesus really mentoring the disciples and telling the disciples and reminding them that who they were and that what they were capable of doing and at every turn they knew who they were because they had been empowered to make the difference and so they were able to withstand persecution afflictions and difficulties because jesus empowered them by letting them know who they were today the gospel is being preached all around the world because this group of ragtag you know misfits those whose others had discounted this group of people that others had pushed to the side ragtag fishermen believed that they could make the difference a story is told i know y'all thought i was going to wait till the last you know ended but i got a different clothes today so we're going to tell the story up top because it sets up what i want to talk to you about today and empower you with today a story is told of a very affluent family in a certain village the parents were well known and they were very generous and people of great integrity and as a result their name carried great weight in the community and so as the children grew up then they quickly came to understand the power of the family's name and the doors that it could open for them and so the parents explained that the influence of their family name carried a great responsibility and always before they would leave the house they would be reminded to remember who they were the father would always say remember who you are admit that they were guardians of the family name and family reputation and i think that there are times when we as believers forget who we are and allow things to happen in our lives that we really have the power and the ability to do something about so today i i'm all about telling you remember who you are it's a wake-up call because some of you forgot who you really are and so today i'm saying remember who you are i know you can't turn to your neighbor but maybe you're with somebody and if you'll shout it out they'll catch it on your own shout out remember who you are because here's the deal i don't know what situation in particular you're facing i don't know what issue you may be dealing with in your life that's compromising your quality of life but what i do know and what i'm here on assignment today from heaven to tell you is remember who you are i say it to the balcony remember who you are i say it to my section to my right remember who you are i'm saying it to the middle remember who you are i'm saying it to the children in here on the day remember who you are i'm telling you in your home right now you got to remember who you are i need somebody to declare by faith because i know you don't feel like you're anybody right now but i need you to declare by faith i always remember who i am and i make the difference let's do that one more time i always remember who i am and i make the difference i got two simple points today but you know my points are packed with a lot of stuff so point number one i want to talk to you about how you are empowered to make the difference you have been empowered by god to make the difference go over to acts chapter one because we will see clearly in the scripture that we are empowered to make the difference and we must always remember who we are and when you embrace the truth of who you are and that we have been recruited by god and placed in various situations so that we can partner with god in the earth in earth's affairs then you must focus on how we have been empowered to win in every situation i don't care what the situation is you have been empowered to win the bible says in acts 1 8 in the amplified version it says but you shall receive power ability efficiency and might when the holy spirit shall come has come upon you and you shall be my witnesses in jerusalem and in all judea and samaria unto the ends the very bounds of the earth you've been empowered to win and power is to be given power authorization and permission to accomplish a task and with this as our working definition let's gain a spiritual understanding of what we have been given to win and make the difference in our lives see you have been engineered by god to win in every situation and all of this is for the purpose that when you find yourself in difficult times and you find yourself in a daunting situation and even in a dangerous situation you will remember who you are and that you are there to make a positive difference you are not there for it to take you out you are not there for it to be the end but you are there and empowered by god to make a difference shout out remember who you are see i can remember who i am when i know what i've been given because the bible lets me know there are some things we've been given by god we've been given his newness the bible talks about how we have been given his newness i've been made a new creature and so can i take some time to talk about this newness that we've been given by god because see in order to know who you are you got to know what you've been given you got to know who you are in christ jesus i'm not talking about your pedigree i'm not talking about what set you come from i'm talking about who you are in christ jesus and unfortunately most christians don't have the revelation or the confession of who they have become as a result of receiving jesus as your lord and savior see that moment that you make that confession according to romans 10 and 9 and you say yes to the lord and you invite him into your life you become a new creature your spirit man is alive to god you are much more than a sinner saved by grace but you are a new creature and if you've never made him as lord of your life and you think it's all about a ticket to heaven you gotta stick around cause i'm gonna make sure you understand and you step into this newness with god gotta stay to the end because you gotta step into the newness go over to second corinthians 5 17 and we're going to kind of come back to this scripture in just a moment but i want you to see this because you've been made a new creature the bible says in verse 17 5 7 second corinthians 5 17 therefore if any man be in christ he is a new creature all things are passed away behold all things are become new so the bible says that when i make him lord of my life i become a new creature and i step into this newness with god what is this newness that we've been given we've been given the newness that affords us where we've been given his redemption the bible says all things are passed away behold all things become new and that lets me know in first corinthians 17 let me read the rest of it so you can really get a hold of it it says and all things are of god who had reconciled us to him by him by jesus to himself by jesus christ and had given to us the ministry of reconciliation to with that god was in christ reconciling the world unto himself not imputing their trespasses unto them and had committed unto us the word of reconciliation now then we are ambassadors for christ as though god did beseech you by us we pray you in christ said that you be reconciled to god for he had made him to be sin for us who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of god in him i got to unpack this for a minute because i need you to see that we have been given his redemption we have been redeemed from the curses and disabilities of sin and transgression when jesus died for us it was the action of paying the sin debt so we are that we are owed and because he paid the sin debt that we couldn't pay but he paid it with his life that means death has no claim on us anymore he already paid the debt cut he already paid the debt for us see death's origin claim was to sin but jesus knew no sin yet he submitted to die in our place the bible says he knew no sin but he became sin for us so that we could walk in righteousness and so what jesus did he reversed everything that satan stole from the original couple in the garden so whatever he stole from adam and eve jesus restored it back to us i've been redeemed and so when you go back and you look and you take a closer look at creation story of how god who is a speaking spirit speaks the world into existence and corrects the chaos of the world he didn't go out and start talking about what was wrong but he started speaking life over every situation that's why hebrews 11 3 says through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of god so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear if you go over to genesis you find out in genesis in genesis 1 that god blessed them when it says them that's talking about male and female so ladies you're not an afterthought but you are a part of the original blessing of god and god said unto them be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea over the file of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth so when you read the creation of man and you see god intentionally makes man in his image and his likeness and he gives man dominion you understand it was god's intent from the very beginning to give the management and authority in the hands of this speaking spirit called adam and so when god says something the thing must come to pass without fail and function accordingly and if god who is a speaking spirit and we have been made in his image and his likeness will call things and they have to line up and they cannot fail since you are created in his image when you say something to some thing it has to line up and function according to god's word what redemption did when jesus was there on the cross redemption returned us to the place of powerful speaking spirits that can affect change with our faith-filled words that's why you can't be loose at the lips that's why you can't just say anything i need you to remember that that your words have power we've been given his redemption we've been given his righteousness remember second corinthians chapter 5 that verse 21 says that we have been made righteous jesus took our sins and he gave us his righteousness so that means that we are in right standing with god with all the benefits and privileges of being righteous i need you to let that sink in for a minute because see this confuses many believers because they think that they're bestowed righteousness depending on them with and they and depending on them when scripture attests to us that righteousness is a gift see they think they can earn their righteousness but the scripture says that he freely give us and he made us righteous so when i understand i've been made righteous my whole attitude changes because i'm not trying to earn it i've already got it the bible says in second corinthians 5 21 in the amplified version it says for our sakes he made christ virtually to be sin who knew no sin so that in and through him we might become endued with viewed as being in and examples of the righteousness of god what we ought to be approved and acceptable and in right relationship with him by his goodness so you have been uh you're in a place where you ought to be can we go go over to romans 5 because i want you to see this real quick because the scripture is clear that uh righteousness is a precious gift romans 5 17 says for by men one man's offense death reigned by one much more they which received abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one jesus christ so righteousness the righteous see i need you to understand what it means to be made righteous because the righteous are bold as a lion the bible says in us proverbs 28 1 that we are bold as a lion that means you have boldness and courage within you stop acting like a coward and step up to the situation cause courage and boldness is already in you the righteous are surrounded with favor that's what psalms 5 12 says that we are surrounded with people who will help us by using their power their ability and their influence i'm surrounded by favor favor is chasing me down the righteous will never be abandoned or left without that's why the bible says in psalms 37 25 i'm telling i want you to make note of this it says that the righteous that i've been young and now i'm old and i've not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread the righteous will never be abandoned or left without the righteous and their seed are promised deliverance you got to understand that many are the afflictions of the righteous but the lord delivers us out of them all my seed and i are delivered we got a promise of deliverance i'm just trying to help you know who you are this morning and the bible also says not only are you bold as a lion not only are you surrounded by favor not only will you never be abandoned not only are you promised deliverance but the righteous shall flourish in every situation that no matter what situation you may be in i'm gonna flourish i don't care if it's happening on my left or my right but because i've been made new and i've been made the righteousness of god put me in the desert and i'm still going to flourish that's enough to shout about right there but guess what we've also been given his name i just need y'all to help me get through this point right here because there's power in his name and see this is a powerful point because you can't afford to forget that you've been given his name just like you know your first and last name jesus taught us about using his name and he commissioned us to use his name and so i just want to take you through a couple scriptures this morning so you can see that you have been given the name that's above every name the bible says in john 14 verse 12 verily verily i say unto you he that believeth on me the works that i do shall he do also and greater works and greater works than these shall he do because i go unto my father and whatsoever ye shall ask in my name that will i do that the father may be glorified in the son if you shall ask anything not some things but anything in my name i will do it you better start using the name you can't casually go through the book of acts chapter 2 through 5 without being impressed at the significance of the name of jesus that was given to the new testament saints and so for a few moments i want to talk about so i can raise your confidence in the name that you've been given see as a believer you ought to have a understanding and confidence in the power of the name and so when you go through the bible you see the scripture examples of the use of the name of jesus the lame man is healed he was laying at the gate of the temple but he was healed by the apostles when he used the name of jesus the bible says in the name of christ jesus christ of nazareth rise up and walk then paul cast out a devil through the name of jesus and that opened the door for his dynamic ministry over in acts chapter 16 because paul was grieved by that spirit he turned and said to the spirit i command thee in the name of jesus christ to come out of her and he came out that same hour there's power in the name of jesus i don't care what situation you're in you got to remember the name because the scriptural evaluation of the use of the name lets us know that there is power in the name because jesus ministered to people's unbelief to let them know that there is power in the name and to the degree that you will believe that there's power in the name you can have abundant victorious life through his name i don't care what situation that you're in you got to remember i've been given his name because we have the savior's authority through his name the disciples discovered that the devils would obey them just as they obeyed jesus when they used his name the bible says in luke 10 17 and the 70 returned again with joy saying lord even the devils are subject unto us through thy name see you've got to remember that the passage is not just written to the disciples but it's written to you so when you're confronted with demonic activity i need you to remember who you are and i need you to use the name don't you get scared when things aren't looking like you want them to look don't you throw a pity party you got to remember who you are and that you can use his name we have to save his authority through his name we have supernatural ability through his name we don't function like everybody else but when we function in the power of his name we are able to accomplish amazing things that require supernatural ability his name means to summon it seems to summons grace his name is an anointing and a power to activate the supernatural you got to remember who you are and that god will confirm his word when you function in it when you do what the scripture says he will confirm his word so when you call on his name he's got to show up as a healer deliverer he's got to show up as the provider because there's power in his name mark 16 17 says and these signs shall follow them that believe in my name shall they cast out devils they shall speak with new tongues they shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover so then after the lord had spoken unto them he was received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of god and they went forth preaching everywhere the lord working with them and confirming the word with signs following i make the difference because i know how to use his name i need somebody to say that i make the difference because i know who i am and i use his name i make the difference because i remember who i am and i've been given his name we have supernatural ability through his name we have the savior's authority through his name we have spiritual access through his name see jesus has given us access to the dynamics of the father in the spirit realm through the power of his name don't miss this point because he tells us on several occasions that using his name will move the father to do things for us so that our joy will be full this is for those desires of your heart he says use my name and god's going to do it so your joy may be full see you got to remember who you are that you've been given access to the loving father so rise up and be bold and be the difference maker you got to ask the father in the name not for his name's sake but i'm going to use his name as my entry point just like you have a code to get into some doors you've been given the name of jesus that's your code to walk into doors that others have closed others said you couldn't walk through you got the name of jesus it gives you supernatural access you got to see this john 16 23 if there's a spiritual access supernatural access the bible says in john 16 23 and in that day you shall ask me nothing verily verily i say unto you whatsoever you shall ask the father whatsoever you shall ask the father in my name he will give it you that's the password hear the two have you asked nothing in my name ask and you shall receive that your joy may be full now you know we got an attorney on staff but see you've got to look at this as a power of attorney that you've been given we have been uh duly deputized and given a divine power of eternity to use the name of jesus in carrying out divine assignments given to us and so if i signed the power of attorney and said that if something was going on you could use my name then you have all rights to whatever my name has and jesus says i'm giving you all rights and access to the power of my name it's more than just saying it but it's a delegated power from on high that the angels recognize that demons respect and the devil himself fears and it's obvious that just radical saying of the name of jesus will not get results because the sons of skeva did so and they were defeated by the devil because there's got to be some relationship and faith in his name that's why he says if you call on me i will answer you that's why the bible says make me lord that you've got to believe that i died and rose again that relationship gives me access and i've got faith in the name so when i start saying jesus demons start running when i say jesus angels show up on the scene don't let me call the name of jesus because if you give me a moment to call the name of jesus traffic will stop in the way i've got power in the name of jesus now we know we've been empowered to make the difference but i got to get you to expect you got to have an expectation in making the difference see i said i need you i'm looking for some bold victorious radical christians and believers who understand i make the difference see as we remember who we are in situations and we step forward to be the catalyst of change we have to do it with the steadfast expectation of god who is your partner that he will keep his word and intervene see i'm just stepping forward and i'm going to watch god work but i want to be an expectation of how he works in my situation because you have the power to obligate god through your faith field action i need you to say this again i always remember who i am and i make the difference so your responsibility is to step forward with an expectation of god working in your situation so pastor what can we expect here's where it gets good because i don't want you just saying i'm the difference maker i want you to expect to make the difference i want you to expect that when you walk in the room things change i want you to expect when somebody calls you for prayer you expect to get results i want you to expect promotions on your job even when they're not giving them out i want you to expect favor when you walk into the bank i want you to expect favor i don't care if they told you no 20 times there's a yes with your name on it i got an expectation that because i step forward i make the difference so we can expect to keep his word by working through sovereign actions see this is when god is directly involved and the miraculous takes place see a sovereign action is that which cannot be explained and it's not always spectacular see when we saw god complete the building that we're sitting in i'm telling you he did it in record time ahead of budget and we dedicated this building without a mortgage see they're showing you stan we're we're wrapped outside this was a couple years before we started building that we all had shovels on the outline of the building and then we worked the faith process and then we started building the building and a week away from opening we had a month's worth of work to do that you could see it on the outside and look good but on the inside there was no ceiling tile there were no lights there was no carpet there were no chairs there were no sound system but because our apostle would not back off of what god told them and what god said we watched god work and things began to fall in place that even the city inspector that sat in the back of the auditorium and he didn't even think we would finish when he saw us finish and pull off pull it off he extended us favor it was nothing but god working in the situation what does that say to you this morning i don't care how bad it looks i don't care how empty it looks i don't care how hopeless it looks don't you count god out don't you count god out if i step forward he's got to go to work there are some sovereign actions that are going to go at work your action of obedience is the catalyst of change that makes the difference and i'm just trying to get you to the place where you remember who you are and that you can summon sovereign acts of help in your situation it was a sovereign act when the red sea was rolled back it was a sovereign act when the wall of jericho fell down flat it was a sovereign act when the god brought water from the rock it was a sovereign act when gideon with 300 men took out 135 000 it was a sovereign act when elijah prayed and fire fell down from heaven i'm just trying to get your faith up this morning it was a sovereign act when with the widow's meal her meal and her all multiplied it was a sovereign act when david took out goliath with the rock from the brook it was a sovereign act when the fire did not kill the three hebrew boys it was a sovereign act when god ambushed the enemies of jehoshaphat it was a sovereign act when jesus healed the sick by a touch of his hand it was a sovereign act when god honored apostles obedience to launch multiple campuses it's a sovereign when i step forward to make the difference i can expect god to get involved we can expect god to keep his word by working through sovereign actions but also working through surrogate acts surrogate what do you mean by surrogate pastor see this is when god works indirectly by raising up other people to work through them to help you a surrogate is someone who is doing something on behalf of another and god will reward your obedience by stepping forward to make the difference and when you step forward to make the difference then god will work through unsuspecting people to do the exceptional in your life they don't even have to like you but this is what the favor of god is all about that he will raise up somebody somewhere to use their power their ability and their influence to help you prosper he will raise up others to use their power their ability their resources and their influence to work for your good and your welfare and i've been faith for god to use somebody to help you in your situation i'm in faith for god to raise up somebody to use their power their ability and their influence to help you you got to remember who you are and that you can summon surrogate health david was a surrogate who was used by god to bring deliverance from the terror of the philistines and killed the giant goliath the prophet elijah was just a surrogate who was used by god to bring deliverance to the widow who was down to her last the prophet jehazal was a surrogate who was used of god to bring the word of deliverance to jehoshaphat in israel the boy with the lunch he was just a surrogate whose lunch was used by god as the seed for the miracle to feed five thousand men the women of luke chapter eight who financially supported jesus they were divine surrogates who were used by god to finance the ministry and the work of jesus christ weekly god uses me and other men and women of god who stand in this place that i'm just a surrogate to stir your faith up i want to be a conduit so that you understand that i'm a conduit for his divine power to flow and that even though i may not call your situation now there's something that i said that stirs up faith on the inside of you when you walk out of here saying i make the difference i make the difference in my family i make the difference in my finances i make the difference in my children i make the difference in my career i make the difference in my church i am a catalyst for change we can expect god to keep his word by working through sovereign actions and surrogate acts but we can also expect god to keep his word by working through spiritual angels see you got to really understand and start expecting the angelic forces of heaven that they are activated by your catalytic uh catalyst faith actions when you say i'm gonna make a difference see did you know that it is your faith that activates the angelic host that when you get in faith that the angels start moving i was so blessed when i learned that the angels are all around us and that they go to work when we give voice to the word of god you got to see this in psalms 103 because many of you got your your angels on the sideline they're on the bench and they're trying to tell you put me in the game put me in the game but they're waiting on your faith action so they can start moving on your behalf psalms 103 20 says bless the lord ye his angels that excel and shrimp that do his commandments hearkening unto the voice of his word bless ye the lord all ye hosts ye ministers of his that do his pleasure bless the lord all his works in all places of his dominion bless the lord o my soul what does that scripture say it lets me know that god works through angelic participation to bring his will to pass in the earth realm and since all the promises of god are received by faith it is this promise that has to be activated by a dynamic faith process so when you release words of faith out of your mouth the angels go to work the bible talks about how the angels are sin and descend you have an opportunity that with your obedience you activate angelic assistance but you got to be intentional you got to be deliberate and you got to maximize their ministry so that you use them clearly and that they go to work on your behalf the bible says in hebrews 1 14 are not the angels all ministering spirits servants sent out in the service of god for the assistance of those who are to inherit salvation you got to understand that's not just a scripture talking about you got a host of angels assigned to you you got to remember who you are and that you can summons angelic help angels help us through supernatural revelation jacob had a creative idea because of angelic information and visitation angels help us through supernatural deliverance and hearing angels help us through supernatural warfare they are called they're called to answer prayers and bring those prayers to us they go and fight for us they minister to us angels help us through supernatural strength the bible talks about how the angels came and ministered to jesus when he was ready to not go to the cross that when he said not nevertheless not my will but thy will be done the angels came and strengthened him angels help us through supernatural protection angels help us through supernatural provision and angels help us through supernatural prosperity we can expect that when we make the decision to make the difference that god is working through sovereign actions that god is working through surrogate uh surrogate acts that god is working through our spiritual angels here's the last one and i know some of you may say pastor how is this going to help me but we can expect god to keep his word and to work through satanic attacks see this is where you get out of fear when you see the enemy trying to do something and i know this sounds strange that god will keep his word and even work through the attacks and the acts of the devil but it's true you got to look in the word of god because god can use anything that the devil tries to use against me as i step up to make a difference and it'll work in my favor remember joseph's brothers were used by the devil to sell him into slavery but god used it to position him to become the prime minister of egypt can i give you another example it was the devil that caused paul and silas to be thrown in jail in the philippian jail but god worked through that in that position and it was a position it positioned them for a supernatural rescue and they started the church in the jealous house it was the devil that caused elijah to get into fear and to run from jezebel and distract that she was going to kill him but god worked through it to position him to hear from god about his successor and next level of his ministry it was the devil that caused the church fight in 1979 that caused the apostle to have to start over in that little run down raggedy building that we called termite city in 1980 but god worked through it to teach apostle how to live by faith and it birthed new vision for his life for his church and it's for his family it was the devil that caused the death of jesus but god worked through it to fulfill the prophetic word and to raise up jesus as a redeemer and a lord and had they known what they really were doing when they killed our lord they probably wouldn't have killed them but it was the devil working and it was the prime position for god to redeem us and make us righteous he hadn't knew what he if the devil knew what he was doing he would have never crucified our lord see we can't judge at the moment in time the full impact of our dynamic partnership of participation with god see it's easy not to remember who you are in some tense situations and you just want to look the other way and hope somebody else will get it done for you and help you but you make the difference shut out i'll make the difference you may not like the situation that you're in but you are there to make a difference you may not like what your children are going through but you are there to make the difference so i need you to remember who you are and what god has done through others he will do for you i don't want you to miss your moment by what the enemy is trying to tell you you are there to make the difference because among those who rose to prominence who acted in faith when they remembered who they were were just simple ordinary people see simple ordinary people that we would never have heard about became renowned notori they had a place of renowned notoriety and we still talk about them to this day all because they partnered with god they remembered who they were and they made the difference the bible says abraham was just a moon worshiper until he partnered with god moses was just a fugitive hiding from the law until he partnered with god david was just a shepherd tendon the sheep until he partnered with god peter was just another galilean fisherman until he partnered with god mary was just another jewish girl until she partnered with god gideon was just another dysfunctional poor man until he partnered with god nehemiah was just a waiter and a cupbearer his life was worth a sip until he partnered with god and it's time for you to step forward and step towards your god assigned destiny to say i'll be the one in my generation i'll be the one in my church i'll be the one in my family to make a difference i'm just looking for somebody this morning who will glorify god so the world can see our light shining through our lives you got to decide i'm gonna step up and make a difference i'm gonna step forward and make a difference and i was praying about the best way to close this lesson and the holy spirit began to tell me that yes it's good to remember who you are and that's all well to know who you are and i want you to remember who you are but the holy spirit told me to tell you don't you ever forget whose you are you got to remember that you belong to jesus and he will not fail you see you i need you i know i want you to remember who you are that you're the righteous you're redeemed that you got his name but i need you to remember whose you are because when you go through the bible you find out that you belong to jesus and jesus is not just an ordinary man and god is not just like other gods he's the only true living god and when i remember whose i am and who whose you are you got to go through the scripture you find out in the bible that if i'm going to remember whose i am and we have to remember whose we are i found out that he is the first and the last he's the beginning and he's the end he's the architect of the universe the manager of all times he always was and always he is and he always will be he was bruised but yet he brought healing he was pierced but yet he eased my pain he was persecuted and yet he brought freedom he was dead but yet he brought life he the world can't understand him the uh the armies can't defeat him the schools can't even explain him the leaders can't ignore him herod couldn't kill them the pharisees couldn't confuse them nero couldn't crush him hitler couldn't silence him the new age can't replace him the grave couldn't hold him he is the light of the world he's the love of my life he's my lord and i'm just looking for somebody this morning who's gonna step forward and make the difference because you know who you are and i know whose i am i'm just looking for somebody who knows who he really is do you know who he is he's adam's redeemer he's evil's vindicator he's noah's ark his abraham's sacrifice his blues is burning bush do you know who him do you know him this morning and do you know that i belong to him i'm just looking for somebody who knows who he really is he's joshua's battle axe he's samson's strength he's gideon's fleece he's daniel's lion chamber he's the three he rewards what man in the fire his dave is music he solves wisdom do you know who he really is see when you know who he is and you know who you are you understand that his ezekiel's wheel in the middle of a wheel he's jeremiah's bomb and killian he's matthew's king he's mark suffering servant he's looks great position he's sean's word made flash his ass coming of the holy ghost and he's my god he's my king he's my brother he's my joy and sorrow he's my hope for tomorrow and i'm just looking for somebody who's gonna step forward and make the difference i'm looking for anybody in this place who says pastor you can count on me to be the catalyst of change cause i'm gonna step forward and make the difference i know who i am i got a couple people taking this step forward i need you my act of your faith i need you to take a step forward if you can't take a big step you just gotta take a step because why i know who i am i don't know who he is i know who i am and i know who he is he's my provider he's my healer he's my deliverer he's my weight maker he's my way out he's my way over he's my keeper he's my peace when i don't have peace he's always there he will never leave me nor forsake him i need somebody to step forward and make the difference because i know who i am and i know who i am can you lift up a shot of praise [Music] when you know who he is and you know who he is to you and you know who you are in him can't nobody stop your praise i'm not waiting for them to sing a song i'm not waiting for him for them to hit a specific card but i gotta praise him because i found out who i am through him i found out who he is i found out what he's done for me this changes the whole time of your life so you stop walking with your head down and you hold your head up why because greater is he that's in me than he that's in the world and i'm just looking for somebody this morning who's going to praise god because you know who you are and you know whose you are in christ jesus [Music] i don't know about you but i'm grateful i'm grateful that no matter what life can throw my way i know who i am i don't care what they say his blood says it all him dying on the cross says it all he says i've been empowered to win he says i'm empowered to be victorious he says that i'm more than a conqueror not only does he say that for me he says that for you too i don't care what mess you found yourself in he's saying that to you this morning he's got a great plan for your life but he needs you to know who you are in him he knows you to know who's you are that he died for you just like he died for me that he rose again just for you just like he did for me that his blood covers a multitude of sins and i don't want you to go another day not knowing who you are and who's you are because everything that he has been to those in the bible he is us he is that to us today he's the same yesterday today and forevermore so praying about this morning every head bowed every eye closed for a second i was really praying about our connection moment i'm sensitive to the times that we're in but there's power when you step forward and i know i can't take you in the back but this morning i'm praying that there are some of you who may have gotten on track and you don't know who you are that you will at least step forward to come meet me at the altar this morning i just wanted the holy spirit just was on the inside of me saying don't just let them raise their hand and say the prayer i need you to come meet me at the altar this morning there's some identity change that needs to be done there's some work on your heart that needs to be done and i want to pray for you at this altar and so what i'm going to do is that i'm going to pray a prayer and after i pray i need you to just have the boldness that pastor i've gotten off track but i need you to pray for me this morning pastor i want to rededicate my life to the lord or pastor i need to make him lord i need you to confirm one of these squares after i finish praying and come meet me at the altar because i gotta obey the witness of the holy spirit this morning and i'm gonna minister to you right here we're still in good time but i gotta do what god told me because i understand that there's power and you're stepping forward and making the difference new light i need you praying for me because somebody in this room today i believe there's at least five people in this room today that need to meet me at this altar really i believe it's way more than that but i'm looking for five people to have the courage on the inside to say i can't miss this moment i don't care how long you've been in this church maybe you've gotten on track and you let something come up and try to steal your identity and you want me to agree with you in prayer i need you to step forward right after i pray because you're going to step into the change that god has for your life father we thank you right now for this moment and as i obey that witness you put in my heart to have them come forward i thank you that with boldness without reservation or hesitation they'll meet me at this altar and that you'll do a supernatural work on their heart the spirit on their mind so that they leave this place knowing who they are and who they are holy spirit go to work
