Intentional Creation | John Gray

in the beginning god created the heaven and the earth and the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the basement and the spirit of god moved upon the face of the waters and god said let there be life it's very easy to assume because of the things that you walk through in your life that you are somehow common that you are in the middle of a hapless existence a rootless existence that is quite accidental no one chose to be here you're here no one chose their parents you are according to secular scientists an amalgamation of cells and blood vessels corpuscles muscles different systems cartilage bone capillaries you've got some aortic valves you've got all of these things working together and the sum total of the parts according to financial metrics the human body is worth about six million dollars so everybody is a millionaire i came to talk to you about you i need you to sit up in them chat rooms and i need you to get up out of that bed and don't lean i need you to sit up because i need to talk to you about you and i need everybody in this room to sit up lean in unfold thine arms and i need you to understand that what i'm about to say very well may change your life for those who assume that this is a casual encounter and another service and another sermon as usual i'm here to tell you this may be the most important sermon you ever hear me preach it also may be the last sermon you ever hear me preach because life is not promised to any of us and just in case it's my last 30 minutes with you i'm gonna give this everything i got so if i'm gonna give everything i got then you need to give everything you've got so that means you need to prepare your hands your mind your heart and your spirit to receive what i have to say we are going to remain in the intentional series intentional is the word god gave me that everything that we do this year must have a clear purpose and intent for god did nothing on accident and everything he did was purposeful and with great intentionality and what i want to talk about is the intentional nature of how life came to be and how you came to be a part of god's eternal plan i want to talk to you today from the subject heading intentional creation intentional creation you have bills on your kitchen table some of them come to your email some of you have direct deposit and also immediate debits on the same day you don't even see your whole check and your life is debits and withdrawals and deposits whether in the natural or the spirit and people come into your life and they withdraw and withdraw and withdraw but very few people deposit deposit deposit and you've got a lot of upside down relationships but before you go searching for something because you think you're empty let me speak to you about the god who filled you before you do another thing i need you to hear this message and i need you to hear it in a way that maybe you've never heard this particular scripture before intentional creation do you know how valuable you are matter of fact do you know who you are do you know whose you are genesis chapter 1 verse 1 says in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth and the earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep and the spirit of god was hovering over the face of the waters then god said let there be light and there was light and god saw the light that it was good and god divided the light from the darkness god called the light day capital d note that that's not an accident it is not an anomaly it is a prophetic declaration of something that we have skipped past because we think that this story is chronological in nature when in fact it is prophetic in nature he called the light day capital d and the darkness he called night capital in so the evening and the morning were the first day intentional creation how many people have read genesis chapter one many times let me see you don't even got to be super saved to know that one let's let's recite it together in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth the next verse says and the earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep and the spirit of god hovered over the face of the waters we read it in english because that's our cultural specificity if you would put up the hebrew genesis 1 1 you read hebrew not from left to right like we do you read hebrew from right to left and let me tell you what it actually says in hebrew for those who are hebrew scholars who might be watching or those who understand the hebrew lexicon please forgive the attempt at what i'm about to say if i butcher it forgive me but this is what it says and this is how it is translated in the original text because in the original there is something there that is not in the english interpretation and most preachers pastors leaders miss it most single mothers miss it most people in jail miss it most people who have been divorced miss it most sinners miss it most people miss it the prophets missed it the priests missed it the rabbis missed it but god has revealed it in the last days to awaken in you and understanding that from the very beginning of creation god had you in mind better elohim and this is how it is translated in beginning created elohim then there's a pause the heavens and the earth our english translation in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth but in hebrew it says in beginning created elohim then there is a pause for what the word is v-e-t okay the heavens and the earth now it's very important to understand that in the center you can be seated unless you don't want to because you feel the presence of god by all means in the center of the first verse of genesis of the seven hebrew words after baritbara elohim there is a fourth untranslatable word the fourth word is actually two hebrew letters they don't form a word they form an idea the two hebrew letters that show up in the middle of the first verse are the aleph and the tav they are the first and last letters of the hebrew alphabet i'm going somewhere the first and last letters of the hebrew alphabet they serve as a grammatical point of reference to point you to the direct object of the sentence but they do not actually form a word they express an understanding this is the difference between greek hebrew and and and in english like greek and english you know what the word is i'm hungry i'm going outside but in the hebrew hebrew is not just verbiage but a feeling and emotion and understanding and each hebrew letter has a mathematical valuation to it which means the entire bible written in hebrew has a mathematical equation god is perfect in all his ways he is precise in all his ways if you want to know about math and science you don't have to look past the bible there are people who think they're smarter than god science is not above god it reveals god i wish i had 17 people that will go with me pastor joel i need i feel my help coming greek and english are more static but hebrew is a more understanding so let's read this again it it is in beginning created elohim aleph tav the heaven and the earth why would you have the aleph tab why are these two hebrew letters in the middle of the first verse remember what i said first i want to talk about you didn't i say that i said that wake up don't be sitting here quiet with your mask on didn't i say i want to talk about you i said that all right in the beginning in beginning created elohim i left off so no reason they don't understand why it was there and here's why the literal translations never cut this because in english there is no there is no interpretation for these two letters and the reason why the writers over the years kept these hebrew letters in the middle even though they made no sense is because you cannot alter scripture from the hands of the writer and so when moses wrote it he got it from the father since he wrote it they could not alter it because god wanted it there there are some things in your life that you don't understand but god wanted it there because you may not understand it now but the revelation is about to arise stop being upset because things happen that don't make sense that you don't understand i know it's in the middle of your life but god's about to give you revelation in beginning elohim blank he created the heavens and the earth the aleph the the hebrew first and last letters now let's stay right here we know god created now here's the thing with those of us who have an english or western mindset in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth and the earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep and the spirit of god hovered over the face of the waters and god said let there be light and you think he made the sun but you haven't read that he didn't make the sun until the fourth day we talk about sunlight and moonlight but moon doesn't have a light because moon doesn't emanate light moon only reflects light so it's actually not moon light it's a moon glow because it's getting light from the sun and there are some people that you think are suns but they're really moons they don't have their own light they're just reflecting your life and i wish you got a revelation of who you are because you got some moons in your life and you need to let the sun rise i wish i had a five second praise break in this place and all over roc nation make some noise pastor ken i feel the holy ghost we think that this is a story of chronology pastor joel in the beginning god created the heavens and earth we think that is a synoptic verse no the entire story is an actual oh it's a literal happening but he tells it to us in a way that we as humans can understand it in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth and the earth was without form and void freeze god created then it was void how can he create something that's void because god doesn't create anything he doesn't feel which means when he created it it was perfect something happened between verse one and verse two i know y'all like i wasn't ready we're going to grow up today and we're going to see god today and devil's going to bow down today and you're going to see the goodness of jesus today did you hear what i said god created the heavens and the earth and then all of a sudden the earth was without form and void and darkness was over the face of the deep now let's let's get into a little bit of science real quick for those who are scientific 13.8 billion years ago there was something that happened in the universe and all of a sudden we call it the big bang theory something happened a dense mass exploded and began to expand into what we now know as the known observable universe 13.8 billion years ago something happened and it exploded and it is still expanding it is still expanding i'll say again that the universe according to all of the metrics that we see is still expanding when god created he created based on his word he spoke it with his mouth he created the heavens and the earth but something happened between what he created and what he intended there was an interruption and that which he created became corrupted could it be that when jesus said i saw satan fall like lightning also another scripture says woe to the inhabitants of the earth for the devil has come down to you with great wrath knowing he has a little time left let me help you to understand are there any carpenters in heaven are there any construction workers in heaven are there any cranes in heaven are there any hard hats in heaven does anybody have to go to city hall to get a permit to to build in heaven no no no god exists and lives in heaven he has a throne now if god is eternal then where he where he is has always been so it couldn't be constructed because that would be a requirement of time because it takes time to construct but he has always been time was something that was created for us and it was created once the fall happened because satan couldn't stay in heaven so he had to fall somewhere so could it be that sin and this is what we know jesus god said in the day you eat of this fruit you shall surely die what does dye mean your time will be up sin is a construct of time the only reason we know about time is because sin ends the body we know that satan was put on the clock once he left heaven he fell where did he land in the earth i'm going somewhere could it be that between what god created and what god intended satan fell and now the earth is without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep and the spirit of god hovered over the face of the waters and god said let there be light and the light he called day he separated the light from the dark and he called it day capital d in the light he called night could it be in that moment that god separated good from evil could it be in that moment that he declared that there is going to be a kingdom of light and a kingdom of darkness could it be that there is a synagogue of the kingdom and a synagogue of satan which we read about in revelations 3 can i give you a little more can i go a little deeper early in the morning could it be since jesus is called the day star could it be that the first thing that god expressed through creation is his son oh wow maybe now you understand john chapter one verse one in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god he was in the beginning with god through him all things were made that were made and not one thing that was made was made without him in him was life and that life was the light of men and we beheld him as the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth could it be that even in the book of genesis the first verse whispers the jesus of the bible could it be this jesus who said before abraham was i am i am the resurrection and the life could it be this jesus who shows himself in revelation 1 in revelation 22 he says i am the alpha and the omega the beginning and the end the first and the last freeze revelation is written in greek but jesus was not greek he was hebrew he spoke hebrew he didn't speak greek they translated it to greek and so what it should say is i am the aleph and the tives could it be that in genesis chapter one in the middle of the first verse in beginnings elohim aleph tav created the heavens and the earth could it be that in the middle an undecipherable undescribable word the aleph tab these two letters in the middle of the first scripture recorded we find jesus in the middle of creation i'm gonna preach it like i feel it cause y'all gonna get it and you're gonna grow from it because i said i want to talk about you because you think you're average and you think you're regular because you got problems in your life and you're behind on your car note and you're behind on your gas bill and your relationship's not working out and your kids aren't acting right and you're looking at yourself and you don't realize what it is god did when he created you i'm getting ready to preach it like i feel it help me holy ghost in beginning created elohim aleph tov the heavens and the earth which means in the beginning created elohim through jesus the heavens and the earth what am i saying to those who were like i just came for a regular service my my mama told me to just get up and come to church i don't know what you talking about though i left time i don't understand let me help you to understand y'all got the wrong idea about jesus y'all think he's some docile meek quiet mamzy pamsy little savior walking around with brown sandals and a linen robe and talking in flowers in his hair and picking dandelions when you need to understand it at the beginning of creation in the midst of chaos where the enemy thought he was going to reign in the earth the father declared imma create an entire ecosystem but i will not create one thing unless my son is in the middle of it every single thing in the earth points to jesus everything in the earth bows down to jesus that's why he said there is no other name whereby men must be saved in heaven on earth or under the earth this is the jesus we serve he's mighty and he is awesome and he is powerful and he is worthy of all praise and i don't know why you sitting down looking at me but somebody needs to give jesus of the bible a praise that he is worthy somebody needs to give god big praise give a big god big praise i said give god big praise somebody say alephtop it ain't the alpha and the omega it's the aleph and the time but what you need to know is the aleph and the top in the hebrew the aleph is the form of an ox it re it it translates strength the tav looks like a cross sitting sideways show the symbol of the aleph todd tell me what that looks like to you worthy is the lamb that was slain i wish i had some help the hebrew letter of the the tithe is a cross sideways why would the cross be on its side because he said if you're going to be my disciple you must first deny yourself take up your and follow me the word aleph tab literally translates the strength of the covenant oh it literally means the strength of the covenant is jesus christ because when he started the lord's supper he said this is the new covenant in my and the blood was shed on the and the tithe looks like a cross dipped in blood but the ox symbolizes the strength of the all the strength of the covenant but also the sacrifice necessary to save the whole world i said i want to talk about you are you getting something in here right now i know this is not the regular he died on the third he rose on a sunday no you passed that it's time to grow the heck up and understand that the devil is attacking you because of where you came from and what's in you when the scripture says greater is he that's in me they literally mean that the body that you have is held together by the word of god you are held together because of jesus christ i wish somebody would break out do you know every time you clap heaven has to respond do you know every time you shout you're giving god his breath back do you know every time you declare something angels have to move and devils have to bow do you understand the authority that you have as a child of the most high god do you understand that the aleppo the alpha and the omega is in you and then some of you are still sitting in there looking at me well i've been working 30 years trying to get my pension savings an investment that's what you're talking about you think you're coming oh that's why you date how you date you think you're regular that's why you put up with that you must not know who you are well let me help you to understand something about the god that you serve and what he created and everything that he created was for us to have dominion over so let's go to creation says you don't think you all that let's talk about what god created before he got to you in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth 13.8 billion years ago there was is it there was an explosion it's been going going going expanding i need you to get this in your spirit there's a man his name is zacherson he's a physicist from sweden went to the university of uppsala and he came up with an equation to help us understand uh the observable universe there are uh apparently i need you to get this uh there are about 100 billion galaxies in the universe y'all missed that what was the name of the last song we just sang it's called 100 billion it's an actual it's a fact okay lord help me out all right there are 100 billion galaxies in the known observable universe that means in the milky way alone where we are there are about 50 billion planets but to be able to have life you have to have the perfect combination of atmosphere proximity to a star that will nourish you and not burn you up one degree to the left and we're frozen solid no life on the earth one degree to the right we burn up and nobody's here but we're in a perfect atmosphere perfect orbit perfect and we got water and we have intelligent life and you think that that's by accident do you understand that it is statistically impossible for the universe to have this much order without some intelligent design that's why the bible says the fool says in his heart there is no god you got to be crazy to think that one strand of dna can't even be returned in a lab and you think that there are trillions of life forms and you think it's by accident according to eric zacherson our planet earth is one in 700 quintillion put that number up i need people to see that out of all the planets and stars the probability that earth would be able to sustain life mathematically is one in 700 quintillion i'm going to leave it right there because i know you're like i'm i i literally am about to have a a i'm a faint let me help you to understand i'm going to talk to you about your god real quick psalm 147 says oh he counts the number of stars he calls them all by name great is our lord and mighty in power his understanding is infinite watch the next verse this makes no sense the lord lifts up the humble he cast the wicket down to the ground that don't make sense why are you talking about astrology and then you're talking about me what he's saying is i name the stars but then i made you in my image i need you to know that according to scientists there are let me get this right i need to say it right so that you can faint there are help me holy ghost i had it right here okay there are a billion trillion stars think about that for a second i didn't say 1 trillion stars i didn't say 10 trillion 1 billion trillion stars so a trillion stars 1 billion times and he named each one and he talks to him and they talk back because the bible says the heavens declare the glory of god they shine because he tells them to he created the oh he created the sun the moon and the stars then he created mountains and streams and rivers and he did all that then he stopped everything and said i'm going to make something like me the aleph top somebody say the aleph is the is the is the supernatural declaration that there was no creation without jesus in it the next time you sell yourself short you better look at yourself and say i am the image of the living god the next time you're about to enter a goofy relationship with somebody that's beneath your privilege and your standard i am the image of the living god i wish you would try to sell me short i don't need you i came from god you need me i carry favor do you know who i am do you know what i'm about do you know what i represent i am the aleph top i've got jesus on the inside there is a substance pastor robert that scientists have not yet been able to identify that holds all particles together they were so deep for their own good when it's right there in genesis 1 it's the olive and the tithe before elohim created the heavens and the earth he we are introduced to the person of jesus ah the indescribable indecipherable one the one that has no definition when manoa said before samson was born what is your name he said why do you ask me my name seeing that my name is wonderful what he was saying is even if i told you you couldn't translate i wish i had a couple of crazy people in here that'll get on their horse and just ride into a place of worship with your boy get up on your feet and i need you to give god a praise because he was intentional when he created you i need a praise to break out of this place if you're not holding your phone put your hands together wait a minute keep standing and you can keep clapping if the planet you're on is a one in 700 quintillion what is the probability of you in the earth right now worshiping god with that fingerprint that has never been seen that'll never be seen again what is the probability after everything you've been through that you still have your mind after the losses you've gone through you still have your mind you buried a child but you still have your mind went through abusive relationships but you still have your mind lost your child lost your spouse lost your loved one lost and yet here you are with something on the inside that says there's more to my life than this moment i will lift my hands naked i came into the earth naked i shall return the lord giveth and the lord taketh away blessed be the name of the lord is there anybody that will give the creator god a praise yes yes yes he's majestic he's mighty he's awesome in beginning created elohim heaven and the earth jesus declared himself the aleph and the tithe i'm the strength of the covenant i'm the thing that holds you together i'm the reason you still have your mind i'm the reason you're still alive in him we live and move and have our oh it's not metaphor it's reality there are a hundred billion galaxies and a billion trillion stars and not one of them can worship like you that's beautiful i feel the holy ghost why did god create you on the earth how is the earth different from every other planet because god came down touched the dust of the earth and breathed into its nostrils the breath of life but when he breathed into man he breathed into the atmosph he said let there be light the first thing that he declared he didn't create what he said is let there be a revelation of my son let there be jesus and the light he called day capital d the day star and the darkness he called night good versus evil jesus versus the kingdom of darkness then on the sixth day let us make man in our image the stars are up the planet is prepared now let me create a sun to have dominion over every creeping thing that creeps upon the face of the earth male and female he created them and he called them adam that's another sermon for another week but the next time you settle for anything whether it's a human being in your life or a job that's beneath you or a woman that's below your anointing or a man that's beneath your calling you better realize that you are stardust the creator who rucked you he breathed into dust and now you're a living sentient being with the ability to worship god and return to him what he gave to you and the aleppo the alpha and the omega the revelation of jesus is what's holding you together there it is somebody caught it intentional creation there's a billion trillion stars and only one of you if you go to that car not realizing your value i'm gonna be angry and i'm gonna feel like i failed do you know who you are i prophetically declare that even your enemies are going to have to bow down in john chapter 18 they were coming to arrest jesus and and he said whom are you seeking they said jesus of nazareth he said i am he the bible says they drew back and fell to the ground now if you big and bad why are you worshiping maybe they weren't worshiping maybe he just went on and revealed himself in that split split second to let him know you're only coming to get me because i'm allowing you to but before you do you will bow down i need you to know that your enemies will bow everything that's held you hostage will bow down even if you come get me if you read john 18 and 4 he said whom are you seeking the bible says he moved forward he didn't shrink back don't run from your enemies don't run from your haters don't hide walk forward who are you looking for are you looking for me i am he i am she they gonna bow down and even if you get hit you're gonna get up there's too much alephtav in you for you to stay down here's the last revelation i'm going to give y'all the bible says that jesus is the last man adam am i right we know that the first man adam had no mother he only had a father the last man adam had a mother but no father on the earth same as the first man adam he only had a heavenly father i'm getting ready to go somewhere when sin entered the picture even though eve ate the fruit first god didn't call her name first he called adam and he said where are you because i gave you dominion over all of this here's what's deep god had to put them both out of the garden watch this what would have happened if adam would not have eaten the fruit god she ate the fruit she sinned without the shedding of blood there's no remission of sin adam you gotta die no why because that's what it is you gotta die to redeem her they were in what the garden of last man adam died where was he buried in a garden tomb going somewhere could it be that had the first man adam not sinned god said listen you need to somebody got to die either she goes or you go all right that's my wife my responsibility i'll go since we know about the father and he's righteous could it be that had he sacrificed god would have got him up i'm throwing it out there because there's a pattern adam didn't he sin so we'll never know what we do know is that the last man adam died was buried in a garden tomb and the father got him up three days later and he redeemed everything what i'm saying is there's some things that god is asking you to die to and if you die to it not only will he get you up he will get it up at its appointed time because anything assigned to your life that's supposed to be there cannot stay dead because you were created in this image and you got too much power in your mouth and too much power in your life i didn't even get through ten percent of my notes and the time is up so i say this while you're standing do you know who you are don't you go to your american-made car or your foreign-made car thinking that your value was in that steering wheel don't you go to that apartment or that house looking around saying i wish i had more what do you mean more you got more it's in your mouth do you know who you are if the eternal god created you in his image and gave you the ability to speak then it's time for you to start talking father in the name of jesus seal this word give us a revelation of the aleph tab the strength of the covenant he that everything was created through jesus christ the revelation of the aleppo is jesus is god i say again that jesus is god he is not just the son of god he is god he did not consider it robbery to be equal with god he is god we worship at his feet and he is our elder brother scripture says have i not said ye are gods but ye shall die like mere men do you know who you are tell your body to line up tell your kid needs to wake up tell that arthritic need lined up with the word of god speak to your body do you know who you are creation is not in your hands it's in your mouth that's why jesus could speak to devils that they immediately bowed down that's why he could talk to dead things and they had to get up he understood the frequency on which to speak and everything had to respond because he made it everything in my house has to listen to me did you hear what i said even the dog and the fish and the guinea pigs don't ask lift your hands say this out loud i left off jesus christ is the revelation of the aleph tav he is the first and the last who is who was and is to come this is what he said and he's coming back but until he comes back we are the aleph in the earth the bible says as he is so are we in this world do you know who you are the next time somebody tries to sell you short look at him square in the face and say do you know who i am i'm fascinated by the people that wanted to kill me and thought that they could take me out they didn't know who i was they didn't know that the aleptive is what's holding me together you thought i was a human i'm not a human i'm a spirit having a human experience i came from god i'm eternal by nature i'm seated in heavenly places with christ jesus greater is he that's in me than he that's in the world i'll have powers i'm a covenant man i'm dipped in the blood forgiving of my sins and seated at the right hand of power do you know who i am if you don't keep watching because even as i was buried there shall be a resurrection even as you were buried there shall be a resurrection i feel the power of the living god in this place seal this word and if you're watching right now or in this place and you've never given your life to the aleppo if the planet is one in 700 quintillion what's the statistical probability of you watching this service right now the songwriter said a long time ago your love is a one in a million goes on and on and on you give me a really good feeling all day long one in a million is small potatoes how about one in seven hundred quintillion that's just the planet you're on you gotta extrapolate that by trillions upon trillions upon trillions just to get to the possibility of you and after everything you went through you're still alive and you're still worshiping and you still have your mind somebody needs to give the aleppo for praise the the first and the last you need to get saved today stop playing with god dial the number on the screen i love you don't look i'm not you know what you just need to give your life to the to jesus grow up dial that number i'm giving my life to jesus put that number back on the screen i'm not playing with y'all 864-409-7633 you need to text it right now i'm getting saved and then some of y'all need to text that and put member because you know this is your church because we give and we serve and we sow and we get revelation and we don't take no shorts do you know who we are this is relentless church we don't take sides we take over you need to give your life to jesus everybody say this prayer with me lord jesus it's me i confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that jesus is lord thank you for the blood that was shed for me i receive the free gift of salvation not through my works but the finished work of the cross the blood is enough to pay for all my sins and i'm made right with you and holy spirit come live inside and teach me how to be more like jesus each and every day you are my savior and my lord in jesus name amen if you prayed that prayer then the aleppo has come to live inside of you in a fresh way do you know who you are have you been blessed today don't you ever settle in your life don't you ever settle in your don't you ever settle in do you do you know who i am my father created planets then he created me he saved the best for last he saved the best for last the best for last cause i'm gonna last the all left and the top is inside of me greater is he that's in me than he that's in the world may the lord bless you and keep you cause his face to shine upon you may the lord god be gracious unto you show you his favor and give you his peace go in peace and serve the lord today hey god bless you why don't you give him a prayer you
