God's Provision For Your Full Freedom

i'm really excited to hear all the testimonies i love that what we're studying what we're believing is working and i believe that as we get a deeper revelation of what we're studying which is the word of god we get a deeper revelation of the truth we're going to see it working more and more because what it all comes down to is whether or not we believe or not believe and so last time that i spoke we spoke a lot on believing and so i wanted to read real quick in the expanded translation when jesus talked to thomas so he told them so i'll kind of reread that uh just a little bit and just kind of point out a few things which is like it it expands even more to where where my mind was able to understand so i'll start um so then then he says to thomas so i mean if you want to follow i'm in john 20 verse 27 so make sure everybody has their bible don't rely on your phone bible get a real physical book if there is ever a time to where we need to know the truth is now because the whole world and the enemy is going as hard as possible to get us away from the truth and to start start us to believe a bunch of lies and if we're not going to have truth we cannot survive in this world we'll be destroyed and i'll prove it to you scripturally so it says then he says to thomas be reaching here your finger and again so this is direct translation from uh greek and so it's a little bit it's a little bit different um and see my hands and reach here your hand and put it into my side so literally jesus was describing like take your hand put it into my side your finger and see my hands and reach your hand out put it in my side and call a halt to your progressive state of unbelief so something that i wanted to point out so like jesus come in and said put a halt like the words that are used in greek are a lot more aggressive so jesus is commanding thomas who was not believing because he was not seen to put a halt to his progressive state of unbelief so unbelief does not stay the same just like we always say that when you start believing a lie or when you start believing something wrong it's not just gonna stop at that spot it's gonna progress so things are either getting worse or things are getting better so there is never like the more that i'm studying like the more of the greek version it just it points out that everything's constantly shifting so a lot of people think like oh i'm just gonna be at this point but it never stays at one point it's either progressively getting one way or the other way and so jesus said progressive state of unbelief so what that means is unbelief if you if you choose to start not believing or going into unbelief it's going to progress to get worse and worse like it doesn't just stop and so that to me when i was when i was going through it like it really stood out the holy spirit just wanted to point out that unbelief progresses it doesn't stop in one spot so that's why jesus was so aggressive and he said you need to halt and we know that word halt is like like it's immediate it's urgent like and so what jesus is telling all of us is that we need to halt the state of unbelief like immediately like this is it's a serious matter so if we don't believe what the word of god says we have to halt that progressive unbelief then he says but become one who is believing and then answered thomas and said to him my lord and my god and now verse 29 so he obviously when he saw him and he felt it and he stuck his fingers and he felt the hand so then all of a sudden he says my lord and on god and so he saw and then he believed and jesus says to him because you have seen me at a present have me within the range of your vision and so what jesus was saying is like because i was in within the range of your vision and you physically saw me then it's easy to say my lord my god so he believed only when jesus was within his eyesight when he physically saw him and felt him you have believed with the result that you are in the side of belief and so when he believed him then the result of that so when he saw him and he spoke that then the result was state of belief so he went from progressive unbelief into the state of belief but only because he saw him and so that's what happens in christianity or in our life when we don't see something we expect something and we don't see it we're staying in this progressive state of unbelief but then when we see it then we go into the state of belief but but that is a result so the result of state of belief when you see something is not really believing our faith that is just your eyes you know like that sort of your physical reaction and it's not necessarily faith or believing does that make sense so if you see something so if i see this light it's because it's within my sight if it's within my you know like or i can see it it doesn't take faith to believe or it doesn't take or anything to to be able to see the light and say oh i believe and say oh they're light and that's what thomas was doing and so jesus was rebuking him because without seeing he was in the state of progressive unbelief does that make sense i just really wanted to point that out a little bit deeper and then he says spiritually prosperous are those who not having seen yet believed and this is the key you know of this of this passage that were that we went through last time so if you wanted to be spiritually prosperous so we talk about being prosperous right so in order for us to be spiritually prosperous you have to be the one who have not seen yet believed and that's the difference if you can believe before you see it you will be spiritually prosperous you will prosper in the things of the spirit which remember everything starts in the spirit before things change if things don't change in the spirit they will not change in your soul and you will not see it in your physical realm because remember how zach taught about the the three chairs everything always happens in the spirit realm unbelief and belief happens in the spirit realm then it transitions into our soul and then it reacts into our body but it everything happens it starts in the spiritual realm and so if we want to be spiritually prosperous and these are the words of jesus and so um everything that we're saying and we're reading here like this is the most ultimate truth you can have there is nothing else that is more true that could be said than the words of jesus and so we constantly emphasize that truth sets us free and so when we agree with what jesus says our life will is guaranteed to change like there is no doubt that if you believe what jesus said and you start progressively shifting into the state of belief versus staying in the progressive state of unbelief your life will change it's guaranteed i mean god put his name behind it he put everything behind it that's that's how precise how accurate and how powerful his words are and so that's why we're concentrating as we're going through these scriptures we're pointing out constantly like what did jesus say about the situation and you'd be surprised like everything that's going on right now jesus already spoke about it way you know like two years ago 2000 years ago before any of this stuff happened and so we always have to go back if we're not sure where the truth is because lies are coming at us at every direction doesn't matter like from you know like what channel you turn on there's lies and lies and lies and people are confused people don't know what's going to happen and so we have to the only way we can survive this is to go back to jesus's words go back to the scriptures and say okay jesus what are you saying what is the truth and then when we start agreeing with it and believing with it then we will start spiritually prospering and as our spirit starts prospering our soul will prosper and then in john it says that as your soul prospers so is your body right because that's the cycle that it goes into everything starts in the spiritual realm so very important to understand that spiritually prosperous are those who not having seen him yet believe and that's the key so and that and then the next verse 31 then it says but so all of these things have been reading written on the record so god put everything in this book in his in his word and he put it on the record so like it's official it's official when god says what i say is on the record like it's as official as anything can be so we know like in the physical realm that um so like you know if you have like meeting notes or you know anything in chord any kind of notes then they say okay this is going on the record or it's off the record you guys know the terminology right in court like in legal situations if it's on the record it's as good as gold like it's it's the final it's ultimate uh whatever it is uh saying or quote or whatever it is if it's off the record then it's questionable and so i like how in the greek it says so but these have been written and are on record in order that you may be believing that jesus is the christ the son of god and in order that you believing so again it goes in the order that you believe okay you may be having life in his name so based on how you're believing based on what you're believing first is that order and then having life in his name so if you don't believe you cannot have life in his name believing is a requirement of having life in his name and so uh we kind of we went over that last time but i just kind of wanted to read it through the expanded translation through from the greek translation because it kind of it paints a like a stronger picture of how much jesus like how much he hated unbelief and when he would see it he like his own apostle he would rebuke him and he said you have to halt like come to a halt you know like when a car comes to a halt like it's not moving anymore so jesus wanted him to bring that unbelief into a halt like stop it cut it off it's it's not good for you like this has to stop immediately and so progressive state of unbelief has to come to a halt if you want to be a believer and if you believe in the written things of what jesus said you will have life in his name and that's what we're all striving for is to have that life because without jesus's life nothing good can happen and so the reason why we're saying all these testimonies and things working is because we believe in his name we believe what he says when we believe that the word of god says that by his tribes we are healed that starts bringing us starts with spiritual prosperity because it and then it trickles down into our soul because we start agreeing with it and then the results are in our body our bodies recover but that's that's the way it works and i think it's very important that we all understand that so i thought that was um that was really cool all right so um we're gonna go to revelation 19 11. and we're going to talk more about jesus so we're kind of throughout the year continuing to discuss more different aspects of revelation of jesus christ because i believe that if we really get to know get to learn who jesus was who jesus is who we are in him and we always talk about as he is sorrowing this world so before we can be as he is we have to get to know who he is and so i've been studying these scriptures going through just like cris crossing them to make sure that sorry cross-referencing them and just like once when one scripture doesn't make sense i'll find other scriptures to explain it and then everything just kind of starts falling into place because a lot of times like if you just read one scripture it doesn't make sense and so what a lot of preachers do they'll just put their twist on it and that's when people get in trouble so we have to use other scriptures to prove scriptures and then we can never get out of line and the closer that we can be to the truth the closer we can be to what jesus was saying that guarantees it more that it will work in our life and we just have to be persistent and stay on it so revelation uh 19 11 it says now i saw heaven opened and behold a white horse and he who sat on him was called faithful and true and in righteousness he judged judges and makes war so here apostle john talks about jesus and he describes him this is how he saw him already so when he saw him so this is already after jesus destroyed the devil he already went up into heaven and this is him already in that victorious state this is him already being you know in triumph in the most glorious state he can be because he destroyed the works of the devil so this is jesus being the final product like this is who he is after the victory over the devil and so that is who we are supposed to compare ourselves to when the bible says as he is are we in this world this is the picture of jesus that we're supposed to see so he was pretty powerful and did amazing things before the uh the death and resurrection and so we're supposed to copy all of that but here when apostle john describes him this is even less this is he's as as glorious as he can be because he already accomplished and he already has the victory and he already destroyed the devil he put the devil back into his place he put him under our feet and so this is the jesus and so i want us to start getting the revelation of the picture of this jesus who we're trying to become who we're learning of who we already are but we're getting the revelation of how to walk it out practically in our daily lives and so he's on a white horse and he who sat on him is called faithful and true so remember jesus is always faithful jesus will never betray you and he is always the truth and and that's the key the word truth here is the key so what john is saying this is what he saw is that jesus is the ultimate truth if we read jesus's words and agree with jesus's words and believe jesus's words and stand on his words that is the truth that is the only thing that will never change it will always work it's as guaranteed as anything can be guaranteed and so we have choices today we have a lot of information coming to our through our years to our eyes we see a lot of things happening we see it we hear a lot of information there is a lot of bad stuff going on some good a lot of bad stuff going on and so the devil wants us to get tangled up into all of these things that are not what jesus is saying and so you know i i was born in 1980 and so um i lived for a little bit already and over my the last however many years i have not seen it this bad on how much lies there are coming at people i've never seen so much lies just going through through every direction and mainly it's it's at your fingertips you know how jesus said the kingdom of god is at your fingertips it's that you're it's at your hand it's right here well the devil is competing he does the same thing it's at your fingertips so what do we have at our fingertips our phone right and so before it used to be you had to get a newspaper so you had to have some money get a newspaper to read information or you you know hear it from somebody then you could you know go home and watch tv and hear it on the news and right now you're being bombarded at your fingertips literally live the phone if you have your phone and the news cycle like i had to shut off all of the news things because they keep every time that i do a update a new news thing gets attached to my phone and then you have you know like all of these news and the thing the phone is constantly buzz buzz buzz buzz story after story after story and if you're looking at it and if you're not listening and seeing what jesus is saying it is really easy to go into a panic mode and i believe that's what's happening people are in a panic mode why because they have nothing that can counter the lies that are coming at them and so if we are just constantly under um under the influence of the lies that are coming from the devil and we're not in this word that's why i say get a physical book get something that's tangible get something to where you are isolated from your phone that you can look at your bible because if you're trying to read your bible on the phone that the other stuff will overpower it it will just click on turn on and you're going to see all the other stuff that's coming on and so when you're concentrating on god's word separate it from that separated from the world meaning all the technology and look at the physical book and start studying because if we don't get into this word into this truth and as i was studying uh yesterday i kept just hearing holy spirit saying over and over and over people that are not going to be in this truth are going to fall away that is not going to be possible to stay in the faith if all you're hearing is unbelief unbelief unbelief if 99.9 of what you're hearing is things that will bring unbelief to you and you're not in this truth it is not possible to stay in the truth and so um now is the time i mean it was always the time but it is so crucial right now and i don't know how much more i can emphasize it for us to continue to stay in the word continue what we were started writing out the scriptures reading the scriptures listening to scripture and the more truth even if it doesn't make sense to you if you're reading it and it doesn't make sense to you at the time just keep going keep going and holy spirit will bring it to your remembrance what i know for myself is um before i really understood like all the gospels and everything i would just read them and they did not make sense at that time but as i'm starting to understand it now all of the scriptures that i put into me that got put into me by when i was reading them they're all starting to come up to the surface and as i'm reading holy spirit will bring it to my remember and say oh remember that scripture remember that scripture and everything starts tying together to this ultimate truth which is god's word which is who jesus is and so jesus is faithful and he is truth i mean some of the most powerful qualities that we can we can have from the lord who we're serving right whoever we're serving we want to make sure that he is faithful that he will never betray us he will never leave us he will never forsake us and he is always saying the truth he can never lie that is so important to understand because what this world is doing is constantly what the devil is doing he's always questioning the truth of the word of god and even a lot of believers are questioning now is that what it says but we know how jesus defeated the enemy he said it is written it is written it is written and he destroyed him he did not have to have many conversations all he said it is written it is written it is written it says then the enemy departed from him and so that is our path to victory and so what we're constantly studying here and trying to learn is how to practically take what's in the scripture and how we can have this victorious life to where we can walk our daily life and constantly destroying the works of the devil and the starting point is for us to see ourselves as christ and so i love this picture that apostle john drew in revelations um 1911 that he was on a white horse and a white horse symbolizes victory so jesus was on a white horse victorious he is faithful and he is truth so i want everybody to visualize that this is the jesus who we serve this is our jesus and this is who we are one with and this is who we are as he is and so we have to start with the position that we are on a white horse mean victorious we expect victory every single turn of our every single direction everywhere we go our expectation should be victory we cannot settle for anything else we cannot live a life to where we're thinking like it's okay to lose it's okay for the enemy to kick my butt it's okay for the enemy to bring the sickness unto me it's okay for enemy to uh have me lose my job or do this and that that should never be any par it should have nothing to do with any of our thought pattern whatsoever our image of who we are is what i just read jesus on a white horse faithful and truth so the other quality is he is faithful so that means we are supposed to be faithful to him and to people to other believers around us don't abandon somebody when problems start and so jesus will never abandon you so even if the whole world turns on you you should know one thing all the time and if you can remember this it will help you so there are times when situations start collapsing around you and it seems like the whole world abandons you and the enemy says you are alone the enemy did this to jesus remember when he was in the garden jesus felt even to a degree to where he felt abandoned he felt that even the father has left him when he was on the cross that's what the enemy was trying to say but if we know ahead of time that jesus is faithful and he will never leave us he will never forsake us in that time that's what we need to know if you have that one truth at that time you will get through that situation our goal is that nobody ever gets in that situation but if you do know one thing that jesus will never abandon you why because a victorious jesus is faithful and he is victorious and if he is faithful and if he is in you and he is victorious that means that you're going to come out victorious in that situation even if you mess up and you fall and you collapse it doesn't matter how bad things get if you at that moment realize that jesus is in me he's on a white horse and he is full of victory because of that i am on the white horse and i'm full of victory and i'm going to come out of this doesn't matter what's going on i'm going to come out of this i'm going to spring right through i'm going get up shake things off and keep moving forward that is the image of who jesus is how we're supposed to see him and that is the image how we're supposed to see ourselves so let's repeat after me jesus is on a white horse he is full of victory he is faithful and he is truth i am as he is in this world on a white horse faithful full of victory full of truth i will believe his truth i will believe his words and no matter what's going on i choose to speak only his words which guarantee victory in every situation isn't this awesome this is the jesus that we serve this is the jesus that who we have this is the jesus that is uh that belongs to us we belong to him we are in him he's in us he's in the father fathers and us this is who we're connected to it is so important to understand that we are not somewhere over there and god in jesus is somewhere over there if we have that image that is how our life is going to be by what we believe we determine our future we draw our future based on what we believe and if we believe that we're separated from god that is the going to be the end result of your life you will be separated from god and the enemy will destroy your life but if you see yourself connected and just some basic principles if the enemy tries to tell you something let's say the enemy says oh like i'm going to cause you to lose your job and you know that you're in christ you can say you can't lose make lose jesus lose his job because you're one so if you have a job jesus has this job with you if you have finances jesus has these finances with you everything that you're doing you're connected and so you if you see yourself connected then it will be very easy for you to respond to the enemy by what is written and he will go away because he can never compete with jesus jesus already destroyed him he's afraid of him and so everything that the enemy is trying to do and it also you know it's it goes through the whole church right now is to get us separated and to see ourselves separate the enemy knows that if he can get us away from this truth of the word of god and to get us concentrated on something else that is going to be the end result that guarantees him victory and so jesus says to have life in him we have to believe what is written all of these things were written so we may believe and have life in him and that is that order like in the greek like we just read the order is believe have once we believe we have and that is so important to understand and so uh now let's go to john 1 14. and so again i like to use multiple scriptures to prove the same point so it says on here that jesus is the truth and we are so the body of christ in this world right now is so desperately seeking for truth and there is only one source and i want to keep scripturally proving over and over where this truth is and what the source is and it says and the word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory the glory of his only begotten of the father full of grace and truth so again this scripture second scripture that i'm reading jesus is full of grace and truth he is faithful and truth he is full of grace and mercy and truth like this is how amazing our jesus is this is who we serve it is not the god or jesus or the holy spirit that the world is trying to portray to us or even the bulk of the church is trying to portray is that god is trying to put sickness on us try to teach us something through all these bad circumstances that he's working with the devil together to teach us something all of that is a big fat lie because you will not find it anywhere where jesus said that if you find a scripture that says that jesus told somebody to go ahead and keep your sickness show it to me you will not find it in here i can guarantee you because our jesus is full of grace and full of truth [Music] and so i want to also go through the expanded version kind of it brings up a little different points so verse 14 john first in the extended expanded translation says and the word entering a new mode of existence so you see how like it's more like it's more visual like i love how the greek brings it out more so when jesus came in it's something that that it was coming in at that point new into existence so a new mode of existence so when jesus came into this earth he came in and what came into this earth at that time what up what john the baptist was describing was something completely new a new mode of existence when jesus came into this world when he was born a new mode of existence came in and so when we get born again same thing applies to us we are a new mode of existence we're new creations like something that has never existed before something that does not exist in the normal worldly realm when you get saved when you get born again you become us christ this new mode of existence and then this new mode of existence became flesh so jesus the word of god knew mode of existence he became flesh and lived in a tent and it's interesting so the definition of a tent it's his physical body so this new mode of existence the sword of god became flesh so he became a man he left everything behind he came in he entered this world and he became a man he entered into a human body just like we are and so the same thing applies to us we're a new creation we are a spirit what you see yourself is not who you are the body that you have is not who you are you are if you're a new creation if you're saved you are a new creature and you are a spirit being that lives in this tent it's so cool how like when you look at the old terminology like hey guys how you like my tent that used to be the you know the language two thousand years ago when greeks talked about it and so jesus came in into a physical body among us and we gazed with attentive and careful regard and spiritual perception at his glory so what humans when they were looking at jesus they were very attentive and so like when we go through the scriptures we can see that everybody was looking at him and everybody was in awe and like so they were like who is this man that the demons you know listen to him sicknesses leave you know like he raises the dead everybody was in awe and they were glazing at him and they were looking and saying like this is something different this is something this is that new being new mode of existence that never existed before who is this man and this man was jesus and who are we as he is we are as jesus on this earth so the same thing is supposed to be happening in our life that is the expectation we're supposed to have an expectation to where when we're walking this earth the same things that were happening with jesus jesus said the same works i do and greater works you will do that should be our expectations as walking this earth we're supposed to be destroying all works of the enemy into where when other people are looking so maybe people around you and the same thing happened with jesus like people that knew him people that were his relatives they had a hard time to accept this change or this difference that they saw in him but when he went into a new area when people looked at him they were in awe why because that's the only way they knew him and so maybe your relatives or your uh your parents or your siblings or your kids you know might not see the difference but if you go into a different area so for example for us when we were just learning this stuff we go and and have a conference somewhere and we prayed for people we ministered to people and god was doing his works through us people were in shock people were amazed that all these things were happening especially the unbelievers because why because this is something that they're not used to this is something that's not normal and so this should be our expectation is that life that new motive existing that new creation of jesus christ that's in us as we're walking out in our daily life that should be our expectation jesus's life should be glowing and shining through us that resurrection power should be emanating from us but if we don't have that expectations for us those expectations for us can that happen no if we don't see ourselves as christ can we be as christ not possible if you don't believe you cannot have that life so believing always comes first and in order for you to believe it you have to see it so you have to see yourself as apostle john saw jesus on a white horse faithful and full of truth john the baptist said he is full of grace and full of full of truth and so we gazed with attentive and careful regard and spiritual perception at his glory a glory such that is of a uniquely begotten son from the father full of grace and truth john is constantly bearing witness concerning him and calls out loud saying this one is he concerning who i'm said whom i said the one who comes after me was in existence before me because he preceded me and verse 16 is also one of our key scriptures that we always go over says for out of his fullness as a source we all received so the words are a little bit different here right so normal like we the way we always heard it before it says and of his fullness we have all received and grace for grace and over here uh the greek kind of point puts it out a little bit you know in a different angle for out of his fullness so jesus's fullness so jesus is a being so think of it this way so let's say if jesus was for an explanation so let's say if he was a big um let's say like a semi truck that has you know a tank like full of milk for example right so if this tanker is full of milk and that is the source so we receive from that source of its fullness so if there is fullness if there is completeness if there is no end to it can we ever run out of that milk so let's say if we came with a cup you know to that uh tanker with with milk can that thing run out and that's not even an ideal example but my point is like it's it's a huge thing it's a source and so that's what jesus is jesus is this humongous um like the tank like i said has limits you know at some point it will run out but jesus is a limitless source and which is full and we covered this before he's full of life resurrection power glory peace joy everything that comes of him he is full of it he has the fullness of it like he has no lack of love no lack of peace like as much as possibly as you can ever imagine like an endless amount endless source that's who jesus is and of that fullness as our source it says what we all received it's a key scripture to understand so like if we see that picture if we see that we are connected to this fullness to the source that it's full of things that we need we can never have lack in anything we can never have lack in finances we can never have lack and peace we can never have lack of joy why because jesus is the fullness of it he has no limits of the things that he provides can jesus ever run out of love no can he ever run out of healing no can he ever run out of peace can he ever run out of finances can he ever run out of anything and think about this as this new creation we are connected to that source this is what we have and if people would just experience a little bit little part of this this world would have been completely different if people would experience a little love of jesus and just allowed it just to even to trickle out of them instead of all this hate that's going on right now this world would have been a different place and so whoever gets to learn this truth you have to start we have to start loving people around us we have to start showing jesus to this world this world does not have anything else to see the church is hiding it's non-existent right now it's full of fear and we're not doing our job and so we are connected to the source and so we're supposed to be as these new creations we're supposed to be the source to people around us everywhere we're at we are the source we're the source of peace we're the source of joy and we have to see ourselves that way so practically speaking so let's say if you're at work and you show up and people start panicking about something you can make a difference you can stand up and say okay guys things are gonna be okay here's how things are gonna happen we're gonna be okay we're gonna get through this you can by your faith by believing you can speak the end result to that situation how things are going to turn out or you can agree with the chaos and allow the chaos to take over this is what we have we have that ability because as ces are we in this world and so when jesus walked this earth this is what he always did he always calmed everything down he always brought peace to every situation if people were crying in the morning he would bring joy somebody died he'd bring him to life think about this like there was uh you know funeral services going on like when when you read through the scriptures like it's so amazing you tried to visualize it so this huge crowd of people are going in the morning to bury this kid and jesus like yeah yeah i'm going to interrupt this uh procedure get up so what do you think happened they were mourning and what happened joy joy came so the situation was as bad as it could be for that mother and for that kid and he interrupted it he didn't say to his apostles well guys you know god is really trying to teach that lady something in that group of people or you know god has a crown or god has something special for that boy you know like he just wanted to take him like we hear today instead he looked at it and he saw death and he said that is not right i'm gonna put an end to it rise up that's what jesus did he interrupted the works of the devil everywhere he went everything that the enemy was trying to do as he moved around he stopped the devil at his tracks every time everywhere it's written we don't see that he did not do something to bring victory to the situation why because he is jesus and a white horse who is always victorious he can only be one way he is not a loser he is victorious every single time and if we see him that way and start seeing ourselves that way and start setting those expectations for us our lives will drastically change lives and people around us will start drastically changing why because we will bring an end to the works of the devil we will bring an end to all the destructions of the enemy we always say this the enemy came to steal kill and destroy jesus came to bring life and life abundant and as he is so we are we're riding on this white horse of victory bringing life and life abundant and so a lot of people say like well you know brother can you pray for me i'm like sure what can i pray for you i want to know god's will it's easy god's will for you is life and life abundant for you and for everybody else around you can you remember that if you can remember that that is all you need to know for the rest of your life it is that simple god does not have anything complicated he did not create this huge you know a million page report of what you're supposed to do jesus simplified everything life and life abundant and so if something does not look like it has life and life abundant you you are to interrupt it stop that process stop the procedure stop it at its track and reverse it well what if i don't know god's will because that's the first answer so when we go to pray for somebody so many times when we go pray for somebody immediately religious people say what if what if that's not god's will do you know did you ask god i said i did and he says raise the dead heal the sick cast out devils he didn't say sometimes he said all the time that is his will we should never doubt his will his will was the same yesterday and today and forever it will never change everything he did it's already finished and now we're on this white horse walking around and providing life and life abundant it is a simple process but we have to go back to the source and understand how we can do that and the only way we can do that is by having the revelation who jesus is jesus is on a white horse full of life faithful full of truth full of victory and see him that like that and then start seeing ourselves as he is and start living it out practically it doesn't happen overnight but we have to start shifting we have to analyze everything we say everything we do everything that's going in our life we have to start questioning is this life and life abundant or is it stealing killing and destroying once we start seeing the difference we start fixing it we start changing it starting our life and others around us that is his will it will never change until the day you're ready to go back to heaven should be around when you're about 120 years old that is his will for us to be as he is in this world to set the captives free amen so continuing in verse 16 and grace in exchange for grace so i also like how um the greek also makes it very clear so a lot of people think that this grace is building on that that we go from one grace the next grace the next grace it says here very clearly in greek it went from one grace and exchange for the other grace so think about what was like in context here so before jesus came it was the law that was their grace their grace was moses covered up moses's glory moses grace everything that was that the law was able to bring and then jesus came as an exchange so that faded went away and jesus's glory jesus grace replaced it and so now we're in jesus's grace and it's not some evolving thing the grace is jesus it's very simple because the law through the intermediate agency of moses was given the aforementioned grace and the truth came through jesus christ and so the next verse backs that up see what happens a lot of times when people take scripture out of context and don't read the verse before and after they start making up stuff making up theology so jesus replaced what was before him absolute deity in its essence no one has ever yet seen god god uniquely begotten he who is in the bosom of the father that one fully explained deity so i love this verse and like this explanation of it so jesus christ through his life through his word explained god in his fullness that's why it says jesus said if you know me you know the father if you want to know god's will look at what jesus did everything that jesus did lined up with god's will he did not do anything that went against god's will so if you want to guarantee that you're in god's will just start doing the things that jesus was doing and that guarantees you that you will be a hundred percent spot on in god's will you can never go south you can never get off you will always be in god's will if you just copy what jesus did because jesus fully explained deity indeed our father god so jesus explained him in his fullness to us through his life by his life by his words by his works amen so like i just i love you know like how the bible just explains itself like if we just keep going keep studying like it just the whole picture just opens up so before people did not know who god is and then jesus came and through his life revealed him to the world because if we look at jesus and see everything he did we will see the fullness of the father and he brought that fullness as a source to every believer so everything's provided everything's done and so by revelation by agreeing and by believing what these scriptures say we connect ourselves to that source and once we're connected to him once we're one with him connected the enemy cannot do anything there's nothing the enemy can do because we're one we're connected together and that was his plan his plan is to get connected with us and once we're connected to him we become untouchable because the enemy cannot touch jesus but we have to get the revelation that we have to see that for ourselves we have to believe and as we believe we have life and that's the key is to believe and agree with these scriptures say if we don't we're not going to get there so next let's go to john 8 versus 31. so john 8 starting in 31 so and i encourage everybody these scriptures that we're continuously repeating you highlight them in your bible you write them out you have these scriptures i'll share a cool testimony here in a bit like what i was able to do a few days ago with these scriptures so in verse 31 chapter 8 it says then jesus said to those jews who believed him if you abide in my word you are my disciples indeed and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free so if you abide we're jesus's disciples so this word applies to us and he says if you abide in my word you are his disciples so if we abide in the only way we can be his about disciples is if we abide in his word and then we will know the truth and then the truth sets us free so how do we get free there's two ways to get free one is you can have somebody pray for you and they'll set you free but unless you go back to this word and fill yourself up you're not going to stay free that that came from jesus jesus said if you leave your house empty the enemy will come back because if you don't know what's written and you do not know how to respond to him that it's written he's going to come back and he's going to come back worse than he left before so that's why when we minister to people when we pray to for people we immediately talk to them about start getting this word start filling yourself up with the truth because as you fill yourself up with this truth that's the first step fill yourself up with the truth step one step two is then you will know the truth and in step three it will set you free it will keep you free it will make you free so you can get set free just by knowing this truth and believing this truth that's one way and stay free or somebody can pray for you set you free and then you fill yourself up with this truth and say free either way you have a provision from god to be completely free why because jesus brought freedom he wants believers to be free he wants his church to be free he wants this world to be set free from all the works of the enemy and so if we understand this truth it sets us free we just need to get the revelation but step one is get into this word so when people ask us like why do you guys spend so much time in the word why do you guys write out the bible why do you guys listen to the bible why do you tell us to get in there every day why because it is crucial it is going to be the difference between death and life that is how critical it is if you decide to fast and pray for the rest of your life and not be in this truth the enemy will wipe you out guarantee you we see many examples where guys that do not know scriptures go up into the mountains start fasting and praying and get heavily possessed why because when you get into the spiritual world you better know your scripture because the enemy is going to start asking you just like he did jesus when jesus went too fast what did the enemy say he started telling him scripture and twisting it it was so close to the truth but it was not the truth and jesus defeated him by speaking the truth people are concentrating on things that are not going to set them free if you praise and worship for the rest of your life but if you do not know the truth the enemy will wipe you out guaranteed every time this is the beginning beginning is the truth and so this is why it's so important to go back to the scriptures and read what it says in here and jesus has a step-by-step process you don't need seven ways to healing on seven steps to this like all of these you know things and books out there go back to here everything's in here life and godliness and everything that pertains to that isn't here it is written and if we believe and we follow it we'll be free like jesus made it so simple agree with the truth agree with his words he does not have this hidden will for us that is bad i remember before i learned this message i was so scared to like to commit to god more like i was you know born in a christian family but i was so scared to commit to god every time they would have prayers like who wants to commit to god why was i scared because i believed in this hidden will of god that he has this evil plan for my life that he's going to send me to africa somewhere and i'm going to be running around there with all these naked people and hungry and skinny and all of these things all of these lies that the enemy planted in my head but that was the lie of the devil god's will is good and no matter where you're gonna go with god you will have his full provision remember what he said to his apostles everywhere you go i will take care of you i will provide for you if he can provide for birds he can provide for you everywhere you go it doesn't matter if the place that you go to is poor or wealthy he will be with you and he will protect you and he will always be there with you but i believe this lie and i was afraid because i did not know what his will is i did not know that his will for me is jesus and jesus never starved if they got into a place where there was no food he multiplied food he took a few fishes few breads multiplied it and fed everybody so what that means is if you get into a place and we when we study john g lake's stuff like when he would go into these poor places in africa god provided finances came in and he was able to feed people and and help people in those areas why because you when you come you bring the kingdom of god with you kingdom of god is inside of us and as we go it goes everywhere we go right and so there is no hidden will of god that's somewhere hidden we don't know it's all in here god made it public he said that this word is on the record it's official remember how we read in the expanded translation his word everything that he wrote on here is on the record there is no off the record you're not going to commit to his kingdom and he's going to say yeah on the record i said this but this is what it really meant it's on the record it's official it will never change and that's how we have to see it and so we have to study it out and believe it and so i'm going to read the expanded uh version real quick so i'll just read verse 32. actually i'll start in 31. then jesus was saying to the jews who having believed him were at the moment maintaining that attitude of faith so i like how the greek always finds out like where they were at so based on what they saw they were believing that's that's where their that's where their belief believing was again it was all visual based on seeing they were believing based on what they saw as for you if you may remain in the word which is mine truly my disciples you are and so that's what he said like it doesn't matter where you start so at that point they were in the beginning but he told them that if you continue to remain in his word which is the truth you will be his disciples and you shall know the truth in an experiential way see the truth always will become experiential you will experience it if you're not experiencing the truth that means you don't believe it if you believe the truth if you believe the word of god you you like it says here it's experiential you will at some point maybe not immediately but your expectations should be that i will experience it so for example if you know the truth that by his stripes i was healed and you stand on the truth at some point you will start experiencing it why because his truth is experiential it's not something that's going to come after you die it's not something futuristic thing it's now remember the day of salvation is now so you expect it to happen now and you stand on that until it happens see that's the key whatever you're looking from god if it's in his scripture and so everything that has to do with our spirit soul and body it's part of our salvation and what does the scripture say the day of salvation is now it's today so that means anything to do with healing anything to do with deliverance anything to do with salvation with our spirit getting born getting saved again it's now god's will for all of that to happen for us right now and so we see it that okay this is supposed to happen now and you continue seeing it now until it becomes now does that make sense i'm going to repeat that again in case i know it's kind of it's a play in words so let's say that this notebook is a notebook now okay and let's say that it is laying right here so this book notebook is a notebook now and it's laying right here and so i decide that i look at the notebook and i decide and i agree and i believe that this notebook is for me now once i decide that do i have that notebook right now at the second no once i grab it a second goes by and now becomes in my hands now becomes now for me there's a little lag and so that leg could be different but the expectation should be now and not worry about what that leg is and if you're not going to worry about how long that leg is it's going to be faster than if you worry about how long the leg is does that make sense you see it as now why because god said is now god did not say healing and salvation is tomorrow come back to you know the next day and jesus proved that he healed people immediately on the spot right there and as they walked so some of them got healed as they walked some of them received it immediately but the expectation was a full complete restoration is now when jesus touched them he spoke a word whatever he did that is the expectation my expectation is now and as i'm going so like the expectation was now as i went it became my reality as you go healing becomes your now and it's supposed to be experiential it's something that you're supposed to experience god's word guarantees it it's not something that's coming in the future because a lot of people so when we speak about divine health it's very clear that god's will is for us to have divine health meaning that sickness and disease that we live in a state of being where we do not get sick this is what i believe the bible is saying and this is what i'm standing on and this is what i'm trying to grow into and as a church that's our goal is to for everybody to grow in into that state of being where sickness and disease don't touch us when i say that people come to me and say oh that's in heaven only then that completely goes against the whole doctrine of salvation because salvation was a package spirit soul and body if you're gonna say that salvation is for heaven then you're gonna have to wait till heaven to get saved i mean sorry if healing is not until you get to heaven same thing with everything else that means you can't get delivered you can't be get set free and you can't get saved until you get to heaven if that's how you try to separate it out it's a package so that's what jesus said the day of salvation is now and in that it includes spirit which is salvation soul which is deliverance and then body which is healing and so jesus provided for that so for that you don't have to wait to receive it at some future time you're supposed to see it now expect it now and go expecting it now and allow it to catch up to that now and that's the part a lot of people miss when they get prayed they expect it now but the second they don't see it they go into that progressive state of unbelief why because it's not within their preferential vision that they're not seeing it actually right now and so the second they don't see it they go immediately into the unbelief but believing is agreeing with what god's word says that it's now and allowing it to catch up it could be a second it could be a day don't worry about the time expect it now and allow it to catch up and if we understand that principle then healings will be happening really fast because what happens is the opposite people get prayed they don't see an immediate result and they say it never happened and back into unbelief back into staying where you know being in a place this progressive state of unbelief that got us into that place to begin with amen does that make sense i just want us to have this expectation that the victory for a spirit soul and body is now like it's guaranteed and it's supposed to happen as close to immediate as possible and that's what we're supposed to expect and walk until it becomes that and don't give up before it happens that's the key do not give up until whatever it is you were looking for becomes your now amen so repeat after me i choose to believe that salvation for my spirit soul and body is now i expect it to happen now everything that belongs to me that jesus paid for belongs to me now and i will stay on that now until it becomes my reality amen all right so um let's see so the truth sets you free so problem number one that people are experiencing is that they just don't know the truth the truth is not being taught the truth is not being spoken and so when we minister to a lot of people and we tell them that hey you can get healed now they're very surprised they're like oh i did not know that i did not know that i can receive healing and so a lot of people are not receiving are not getting set free because they just don't know the truth nobody told them the truth or nobody guided them to the scriptures to get this truth and so you have to know that the truth exists in order for you to start heading that direction and number two is rebellion so you know what god's word says and you're not willing to do it or you're not willing to agree with it instead you choose to stay in the state of self-pity and rebellion god says that his will is for you to be healed and when somebody prays for you and you don't get it you start getting angry with god and say why do you not love me why do you do this for others for other people and not doing it for me and just have this self-pity party in their head hating god and being upset with god that is rebellion if you know that god's will is for you to be healed receive that healing and don't go against god because he's the one that's providing it he is the source of it if you're going to be angry at god for not healing you and trying to ask him for healing that that's a pretty complicated situation there so don't ever go into that situation never be mad at god if something's not working out in your life the only one that you can be mad at is the enemy and also as yourself as an individual go back to the scriptures and get the revelation or get help whatever it takes but get into that state where you see the truth because that is the truth that's written truth is what sets you free so jesus is the truth it's in his word so it never changes like his truth never changes it always stays the same and the key is to start practically so people say okay so what i do practically so as we're going through these scriptures you highlight them you identify them you start learning them memorize them and start repeating them and so i'll share a quick testimony boy the time's going by quick um so um i think it was thursday yeah so thursday morning i got up you know everything's good and then as i was driving to work i started experiencing like uh weird pain like in my across my whole back um never experienced it before and so i kind of just brushed it off and you know didn't deal with it right away and then throughout the day like i would feel it again and i would say no just in jesus name go away but i i was kind of passive i'll admit i was passive i i was busy i did not deal with it like i normally try to deal with it by the time i got home it started hurting really bad to where like as i would be walking like i could feel it i could feel it and then um that was the only day that it was dry and i had to mow the lawn and so i have this little tractor and so every movement up and down brought a lot of sharp pain and so if you imagine on the tractor all you're doing is you're shaking like for two hours driving that thing so the enemy said like well looks like you're not gonna be mowing the lawn you're going to wait another time till the rain you know there's a break in the rain again and i said nope i realized what was going on i realized that i did not do what i was supposed to do in the morning and so i got on that tractor it was not a pleasant experience in the beginning and so i knew that it's going to be a battle but i'm going to win like i am not stopping um the only one that i have to blame is myself for not dealing with it and allowing it to get to the spot so i decided you know i'm going to war like i'm i'm going to win this battle as i started going mowing the lawn you know like it was not like i said it was it was very it was very strong and so but what i started experiencing uh which was something that i didn't experience before to that degree is i started experiencing this joy just this abundant joy just started overtaking me and even though like i'm supposed to get angry at the devil and start fighting i just feel this joy and as i kept driving good thing that lawnmower makes a lot of noise you know we don't have any neighbors nearby and so i just started praying in tongues and then my tongue transitions into sitting in tongues and i just keep getting louder and louder and i'm like okay hopefully nobody sees me and this just abundant joy just started overtaking me and as i started doing that scripture started coming out and i just started repeating these scriptures the scriptures that we talk i see yes so i am in this world and i would just repeat it repeat it stronger stronger stronger stronger and i started feeling like experiencing as if it was no longer i that i was on that lawn mower that it was jesus already on that lawn mower and as i started seeing that i started feeling so connected with him like experiencing it on the physical level i started then the scriptures start coming like well if it's jesus on this lawn while we're driving like he's supposed to have no pain and as i started analyzing and start agreeing with those scriptures making them like literal and start speaking them i started seeing it's almost like i took my hand and whatever was going on i saw myself like going into like under my skin like just like adjusting things you know like if something's out of place just adjust the just adjust and as i was doing that i started feeling my pain started going just dropped down to like maybe 10 percent left and what i experienced is that word as i was speaking in it as i was praying in tongues and i was singing in tongues it became experiential it no longer was a head knowledge it was no longer something that was just coming out of my mouth it became surreal to me like i became one with it like i don't know how to explain it but i saw it at work as i was on this lawnmower and all i could do is just these things were happening it's almost like god's word connected with my spirit started doing something and i'm just looking around to make sure that nobody thinks that you know like what's wrong with this guy doing he took on 9-1-1 but good things you know all the 9-1-1 people are busy so i knew they weren't going to come anyways and so i just continued to experience this awesome experience where i experienced god's word becoming experiential like it became my revelation it became so real to where it was on the physical level things were happening and everything just went away and so i felt it a little bit that evening and then in the morning i woke up i felt a little bit and i knew that by the time i get to work i will destroy it and so on my way to work as i was driving i continued praying in tongues and by the time i got there everything was gone like it has like it never existed before and so but i got to experience how real this word is and that is the revelation that i've been seeking for myself i want this to become to where this is so real to where it starts manifesting itself on a physical level and now when we pray for healing we already experience that we just not necessarily see it we know like you know when we lay hands we're obedience god's doing something but in this case on my own body i felt that an experience that it was almost like his word by me speaking it and speaking it and speaking it praying in tongues singing in tongues it's almost like all of a sudden something started happening to where i've never experienced happening before and it got connected god's word became one with my body and accomplished what it was accomplished to do why because the scriptures say that when his word goes out it never comes back void but what we do is we never allow it to accomplish that in our body we stop it by unbelief by this progressive state of unbelief we stop it and so i learned from this situation is that if i just decide like at all cost against all like you know it was crazy to do what i was doing but again like i'm willing to practice on myself um and so i told god like hey whatever it is that i'm going to get into this word i want to practice it and if you teach me something i'll share it and so i just i know that there's something more to just these written words on the page something deeper is supposed to be happening if we continue to just focus and focus proclaim it speak it sing it whatever but just connect to that word to where it becomes one with us and so remember that jesus is the written word and then like we read he came and he became flesh and so as i was speaking like those were the images that i was seeing i was seeing that the written word became flesh and it became you know like real it became experiential and that's what i experienced happened in my body and it was the coolest experience and so what that did for me is it encouraged me and strengthened my faith even more to start expecting this to happen more why because once i've seen it once now i know it can be repeated again and i share with everybody else and you guys can expect the same thing expect this word to become in your flesh and start acting and doing things on the flesh level because that is how real it is because why because jesus christ is life and believing his word believing what he says you will have life in him and so this is practically how we can take what is written and believe it to to to a point of no return to where it starts working and starts doing its job and what i'm learning is that the more i get into it the more i apply it the more i try it the more i see it working and it encouraged me to get in even more and the thing about god's word it's like it's never ending imagine like all the things that jesus did like we look at all these miracles that happened back you know like in even in the old testament if it happened once to anybody it can happen with us the same way if somebody in the bible was able to do it once we can do the same thing why because it's the same spirit romans 8 11 the same spirit that raised jesus from the dead lives in our bodies quickening our morals bodies right i'm paraphrasing it just to make it like so easily to understand the same spirit the most powerful being the most powerful spirit no matter how hard the enemy tried to guard it all of the demonic everything you know like they tried to keep jesus dead and the holy spirit just poof just blew it all up in milliseconds and jesus came back to life and now he's on a white horse full of victory he has already defeated the enemy the enemy's defeated and now what we have is we have him we have his words we have what he has provided and if we choose to see jesus christ on a white horse full of victory faithful and full of truth and agree with it our life will be the same we will be on a white horse full of victory faithful full of truth full of mercy joy peace why because we're connected to his source and his source is full it's everlasting life and life abundant amen all right let's all stand up so repeat after me father god i thank you that i am your child connected to you connected to the source that's everlasting that can never run out i have the fullness of jesus christ who is connected to you i have the fullness of the whole kingdom of god it is at my fingertips i can experience it i choose to agree to believe the word to the degree to be able to experience it as life and life abundant in my life and life everybody around me anyone i come across i will set them free because his kingdom is at my fingertips amen
