Intentionally MARKED with Pastor John Gray - Relentless Church April 25, 2021

[Music] do [Music] i'm gonna preach the word of the lord and i'm gonna do it in a way that is honoring to him also honoring of your time and so i'm gonna need you to lock in with me say it out loud let's lock in i'm gonna need a few people interceding for me i'm not probably supposed to be speaking today because i have stitches in in this area where i had this wisdom tooth extraction a couple weeks ago and it's interesting because when i went back because the pain lasted longer than they said and they said there was a slight infection and so there was a partial healing but it would not have sustained so we need to clean it out again and let it bleed so that there can be a full healing he said so i can give you pain medicine to numb it but it won't heal it or you can let me clean it and that's gonna hurt but you'll finally be able to be restored i said sir i'm gonna preach that on sunday because there are some things that you've been numbing that god wants to heal and every time any of us has tried to numb the thing the root issue was still there so whether you numbed it with brown liquor or with the warmth of a stranger when the stranger left and the liquor wore off and the weed were off the pain was still there let the holy spirit get to the root of the thing feel the pain in the moment so that you can heal for real from the inside out pray with me pray with me right fast so i can get this word out lord jesus thank you for the opportunity to preach your word and i ask that you would get the glory out of this moment in a most significant and supernatural way this is my prayer i pray it in jesus name amen amen and amen um exodus chapter 30 exodus chapter 30 starting at the 22nd verse exodus chapter 30. look at somebody do me a favor and just look at him and then look at him kind of with strange eyes just kind of squint at him and say you know what no really say you know what something different about you say it again just as you know what there's something different about you and now i want you to respond to the person that said that and say you know what you're right and you're about to find out what it is i want you to know that the lord's about to announce who you are and the people who've been trying to figure you out god's gonna he's going to let him see what it is that makes you so different exodus 33 at the 22nd verse moreover the lord spoke to moses saying also take for yourself quality spices 500 shekels of liquid myrrh half as much sweet smelling cinnamon 250 shekels 250 shekels of sweet smelling cane 500 shekels of cassia according to the shekel of the sanctuary and a hen of olive oil and you shall make from these a holy anointing oil an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer it shall be a holy anointing oil with it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the testimony the table and all its utensils the lamp stand and its utensils and the altar of incense the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils and the labor and its base you shall consecrate them that they may be most holy whatever touches them must be holy and you shall anoint aaron and his sons and consecrate them that they may minister to me as priests not to the people the job of the job of a priest is not to minister to the people and that's the problem the priests are always focused on the people trying to get the people to worship them when the job of a pastor is to get god on the scene so god can meet the needs of the people and you shall speak to the children of israel saying this shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations it shall not be poured on man's flesh nor shall you make any other like it according to its composition it is holy and it shall be holy to you whoever compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people we're talking about the anointing we're talking about the anointing oil and the anointing was not to be put on man's flesh the anointing it is the symbol of the holy ghost it is what differentiates someone who attends versus someone who believes and not only someone who believes but someone who walks in active authority real power does not come from the bravado of your words real power does not come from the genius of your intellectual pursuit power comes from the holy spirit matthew chapter 16 verses 13 through 16 when jesus came into the region of caesarea philippi he asked his disciples saying who do men say that i the son of man am so they said some say john the baptist some elijah and others jeremiah or one of the prophets he said to them but who do you say that i am simon peter answered and said you are the christ the son of the living god christ was not his last name christ the anointed one the anointing the word anointed means to be smeared to be touched to be marked i'm preaching for 10 minutes from the subject intentionally marked intentionally marked you may be seated you know there's always been something different about you you've never been able to fit in you're never going to fit in every time you try to fit in it never works everything about your life screams intelligent design and everything about your life screams that god has put his hand on you even your own family they know there's something different about you they call you weird they call you kooky they call you d oh you deep you real spiritual there's something different about you there's always been something different about you you've been able to discern things that other people didn't you could see things you call it deja vu but it's actually a prophetic gift you saw it then it happened but you can't remember where you saw it or when it when it happened it was like i just this was in my dream i saw this exact moment who am i talking to that you had moments that you saw in a dream or a vision and then it came to pass that is a prophetic gift you are able to see things before they happen that only happens when you have the holy spirit stay with me sit up lean in because i only have a few minutes to get this word to you time is of the essence critical critical critical may day may day the earth is in need of prophetic voices of those who understand that the days of fitting in are over and the days of standing out are upon us for too long we have lived half of who we are and none of what is needed right now more than ever we need those who are unapologetically filled with the holy spirit and power we need people who can pray and devils bow down immediately we don't need processed prayers where we pray today and hope in a week or two weeks or three weeks it turns we need a right now power with a right now authority the truth is you've never ever been average you've never been normal but you keep trying to fit in normal and normal doesn't fit you you should write that down or say it out loud normal doesn't fit me normal has never fit you every time you tried to be like everyone else it never worked out for you every time you tried to do what other people did it never worked out for you even when you tried to do wrong like your so-called circle it never worked out and even when you tried to hang in that circle even though you were faking it you weren't happy you knew when you left that circle i'm not supposed to be here i'm not supposed to be with these people i'm not supposed to be doing this i don't even like the smell of weed i don't even like to taste the liquor why am i trying to front and be something that i'm really not the truth is you were always separated you were always different god had always set you aside you were always consecrated even if you didn't know that's what it was god set you aside and people think holiness is a denomination it is not holiness is a declaration of god that i have set you aside for a purpose that's bigger than the world can see holiness is the bowing down of your flesh for the eruption of the spirit i'm talking to someone no matter who you are or how you are currently viewed you've always been different you've never fit in because you've been marked i just want to talk to somebody that has been intentionally marked god put his hands on you if you look at your family if you look at your lineage there's really no real good reason for you to be where you are right now one applause a smattering of applause perhaps there are others who are just taking it in and that's okay but there are people in this room that if you look at the landscape of your life in your family and you look at your life you have to say only god could have done this i feel faith rising in the room and i'm gonna need a couple of people to be my exuberance and my voluminous expression because i'm gonna have to maintain my verbal cadence in this place but i need a couple of people who can be demonstrative on my behalf when i look at the landscape of my life and the father that i came from that wasn't there and the uncles in my family that are still still at this age trying to figure out how to do the the rudimentary things of manhood i find myself shocked at the providence of god the overwhelming grace of god the undeserved love of god and the unrelenting grace and forgiveness of god that has been poured over my life and perhaps there are other people here and online who can take a moment and step back and say there's no good reason for me to even be alive right now let alone have any position of authority let alone have my right mind it must be that god put his hand on me perhaps you could take seven seconds and give god a praise break right there isn't it staggering i just heard pastor joe say something i'm going to say out loud he just said god thank you for believing in us isn't that a strange thing because we're asked to believe in him but he's only asking us to believe in him after he's already believed in us do you understand every day you wake up there's a mandate on your life to show the glory of god the very fact that you were awakened is to let the devil know you lost again do you have do you know every time you stand up and clap that's another loss to hell every time you lift your hand elder it's another devil that's got to bow down do you understand every time that faith begins to rise and the sound of glory comes out of your mouth and all all of a sudden you begin to clap and some of you start spinning around and others start jumping do you understand that it shakes heaven and it scares hell oh do you understand that the reason why you cause so much discomfort to people to places to institutions to the folk on your job to the people in your community to the people in your sphere of influence is because you've been marked tell somebody i've been marked when you've been marked you can't you try to apologize for greatness and it still finds you if you've been marked you try to do what others have done and it doesn't work out for you you've tried to sabotage your own life and god wouldn't let you when you've been marked things shift in your favor when you've been marked angels move when you speak when you've been marked you can feel the backing of heaven when you've been marked is there anybody that's been marked there are a few of you that are in here and some of you are saying i'm not sure if i'm marked if you're in here you're marked because the anointing on my life only draws those who have been marked oh lord if you're playing church you won't like it here because we we go after god for real this is not a game when you've been marked things shift when you've been marked the worship is different when you've been marked certain spirits are not comfortable around you when you've been marked there are people that just they'll say they can't stand you but the truth is they can't stand the light that's coming from out from out of you am i talking to the right church am i talking to somebody online no matter how much you try to dim your light it just doesn't work you've tried to send it away you tried to do all of this other stuff and the light just keeps breaking through you can't even be comfortable in your wrong because you've been marked when you've been marked a regular life doesn't fit even when you try it just doesn't fit you've been marked you tried to hide yourself other people tried to hide you you were in a relationship that was beneath you and they tried to hide you they didn't want you to know who you were and it took them trying to put dirt on you to realize that not only are you beneath me you can't stop me who am i talking to in here there are some women in here and online that you were in a relationship with a no good somebody and you gave everything you had and he still wouldn't change and he still wouldn't turn and he still talked down to you but it was because he was intimidated by the anointing that was on your life and thank god he has freed you from the need of validation from people that were beneath you never again shall you listen to a voice that is beneath the cost of the oil that is on your life shout out i've been marked in exodus god says i want a particular anointing made of a particular set of ingredients and i want you to anoint everything in the temple the table the lamps the utensils the laver the base i want you to anoint aaron and his sons that they may minister to me and i want you to make it of the art of the apothecary that means i want you to be skilled i want somebody skillful with the anointing this is not a season for haphazard oil this is not a season for people to grab microphones that don't understand the supernatural transactional relation between your gift your calling the anointing and the moment if you don't understand your gift you're calling the anointing and the moment please take a seat because in this moment when there are generational demons when there are territorial demons you can't sing it away there has to be an anointing on your voice and an anointing in your spirit that puts a devil on the run and it can't just be you you're gonna need some people that will walk up on the front line with you that means you got to be bold in the spirit you can't be scared in this season we need some people that'll take territory that are not afraid to die because you've already died to your flesh you're a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to god which is your reasonable service i want to talk to a royal priesthood a holy nation god's own special people to proclaim the praises of him who brought you out of darkness into his marvelous light is there anybody hearing online that's been marked well if you've been marked elder then it's time to go i need somebody to shout it's time to go see because when you've been marked he sets you in a high place on your mark get set they missed it elder nick i said when you have been marked he sets you in a high place but he doesn't sit you there so you can rest on your laurels he puts you in a high place so that you can go forward go therefore into all the world and preaching in the name and baptizing in the name of the father and the son and the holy ghost when you've been marked you can't keep your mouth shut that's why people you you make people nervous they don't invite you to the parties anymore because they know if you show up you're going to start talking about jesus they know when you get there you're going to turn the conversation to how good god has been and they love you and they really want you and the truth is secretly they need you nicodemus but they only need you at night they need you and no one else is around they need you when no one else can see but in the daytime they act like you're casual they act like you're regular but the truth is they listen to everything you say they look at every post you post but they don't like every post because they don't want you to know that they hinging on every word you say they even got secret accounts to look at what you posting because they don't want you to know that it's them [Music] tell somebody i've been marked now i know that this service has gone a little longer because i made a decision that worship was not going to be here but not online when in fact there are people who needed the exchange of worship to be a transactional moment a touch point of faith between them and their god so i made a decision as the pastor that the oil was going to flow again and now the clock is telling me i'm out of time no i'm not out of time i'm on time tell somebody i've been marked i need you to say it like you mean it i've been marked you didn't come from dallas just to observe a regular service you didn't come from rochester just for a regular service you didn't drive up 85 north in atlanta traffic just to have fun you came here because there's something that god wanted to do something god wanted to unlock and the only way that it was going to happen is if you were in the presence of god right here and the oil that's coming from this pulpit and the oil that's on your life are interconnected right now and something's about to break in less than five minutes now i need a sound to lift up out of this place i see you man of god i need a couple of holy ghost filled people i don't have the ability to yell will i need somebody to shout out for me larry pastor demarcus i need somebody to to let out a sound tell somebody i've been marked when you've been marked when you've been marked by god you agitate devils i said when you've been marked by god demonic forces start uh uh what's the word they start manifesting you'll be like why is he tripping why is she tripping where did that come from why they trying to run me off the road why they cut their brakes why did they just give me the finger why in the world are people so mean them demons start manifesting because the fragrance of your oil doesn't just attract the favor of god it attracts the attack of hell and if you really want to know how anointed you are you might want to gauge it not by the words of encouragement because when you're anointed you better check with jesus he was a man of sorrow acquainted with grief when he was the most anointed that ever walked the earth the anointing is lonely the anointing will cost you popularity when you're truly anointed people don't understand you when you're really anointed there are moments of isolation because god wants to talk to you not the crowd but when he puts you in front of the crowd what he told you in isolation is for the nations i need to help somebody in here that when you've been marked it is a lonely road but it is a worthy road if you know what i'm talking about talk to me moses i'm on the mountain 40 days and 40 nights and i come down the mountain and there's a glow of glory but my wife doesn't even understand miriam my sister doesn't understand aaron has made a golden calf i've been gone a few minutes they already trying to forget about me they want to act like they can do it without you but the truth is they need you because they need the anointing that's on your life and the truth is it won't work unless you're there i have been marked i need somebody over here to say it out loud and i need you to say it to the top of your lungs and your mass say i've been marked i need somebody over here to say it i need you to say it as loud as you can i've been marked and i want everybody in here to say it along with the people online while you putting it in the chat feed in all capital letters i apostrophe v e have been marked i want you to say it loud then i want you to shout after you say it because when you realize that you have been marked it is a sign that heaven has made its decision about you and there's nothing that anybody in the earth can do about it one two three now give him a shout if you know it's true i've been marked and there's nothing anyone can do about it i said i've been marked and there's nothing the devil can do about it i've been marked and there's nothing i can do about it help me holy ghost peter said you are the christ the son of the living god you know what jesus said blessed are you simon barjona you didn't get that from the flesh my father gave that to you when you have been anointed you have been smeared you have a different fragrance the anointing oil was that was a perfume it was an aroma i need you to understand that perfume works two ways it attracts the ones that are assigned and it repels the ones that don't belong god said i want this anointing to be specific and it's for a specific purpose this is why your anointing doesn't work everywhere oh lord i i'm gonna have to just get ready for the next service here but i gotta give you the nuggets i gotta give them to you when you have been smeared when you have been marked even god's correction and when you're anointed he will correct you oh yes he will you don't believe me oh yes he will and i mean he will correct the fool out of you you don't believe me go to genesis chapter 4. genesis chapter four the story of a man named cayenne and ethel what you call cain and abel cayenne hebrew evil cayenne means possession kane means possession able or fel means breath i'm going somewhere eve named her son cain she said i have received a man from the lord he's mine now we know that eve's issue was controlled she wanted control that's why the curse was you shall have a desire for your husband but he shall have rule over you she didn't desire him as in i love him she wanted to be the leader and god said you will desire his authority but he will have rule over you that's a part of the curse that came with disobedience so she said well i can't run him but i can run this one cain is mine something happened with that second son eval abel his name is breath and if you study the hebrew it means gentle breeze but we know that the ruach the breath of god is the holy spirit maybe that's why one of them gave a regular casual offering and the other gave a spirit-led offering because spirit talks to spirit that's why he gave the first fruits the very best ah but then cain just gave some of the stuff that came out of the ground and we know what happened there was an argument that says that cain and abel they talked cain talked to his brother abel and then he rose up against him in the field and killed him and then god shows up he said hey where's your brother where's abe where's breath because because spirit talks to spirit he said am i my brother's keeper he says what have you done the blood of your brother cries out from the ground see when you're anointed they can try it they can attack you but your blood has a voice uh okay let me let me he says he says your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground and he says and now you're cursed you're cursed from the earth which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand when you till the ground it shall no longer yield its strength to you a fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth and cain said to the lord my punishment is greater than i can bear surely you have driven me out this day from the face of the ground i shall be hidden from your face i shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth and it will happen that anyone who finds me will kill me watch this and the lord said to him therefore whoever kills cain vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold and the lord set a mark on cain lest anyone finding him should kill him there's a lot that i want to say right here but a few of you are about to shout god dealt with cain punished him for killing his brother and then said but if anybody else puts their hands on him i'ma take you out there are people who saw god correcting you and thought it was god rejecting you so they thought that they could attack you but what it really was is god corrected you and said i dare you to put your hands on him i dare you to put your hands on her because this is business between me and him i put a mark on it nobody caught it did you understand what i just said oh it was not god's rejection it was his correction and see this is the thing when people don't understand what god is doing in the spirit he put a mark on cain and said i've already dealt with him and there's more fruit that's going to come out of his life because he's going to turn after this moment and so there are people who thought god was done with you so they thought that they could put their hands on you but they don't know that the moment they put their hands on you sevenfold is coming back to them so if i were you i would thank god for the correction and the exposing of your enemies in this season you need to bless god right there and i close with this how do i know that cain being marked changed his life because he ended up having a son named enoch the bible says enoch was three he lived 365 years and then the bible says and he was not for god took him which means he didn't even die he was just walking with god in such a level of intimacy that one day god said come on up he's one of two people recorded in scripture that did not see death him and elijah got a personal invite the chariots of israel came and captured them into the presence of god now how did enoch coming from cain have a level of relationship with the father when his own father was punished by god and was corrected by god could it be that that correction produced fruit in keeping with repentance daddy yes enoch what is that mark on your forehead let me tell you about this mark you had an uncle named abel he was a good man and he offered to the most high in offering worthy of our god but when i was a younger man i was insecure and immature and i was jealous of my brother and instead of asking him teach me how to have the same heart to give the right offering i let sin in and i killed my own brother your uncle and god came and he dealt with me and he punished me but he also marked me and said nobody else can punish you because you're going to change from this point on and now enoch i don't want you to be like me i want you to stay close to god i want you to walk with him all the days of your life and when he talks to you listen and when he whispers say here i am and every time he calls your name don't take his voice for granted am i talking to anybody how do you think enoch walked with god his father said that's the that's the most high god i shouldn't even be here but he protected me and he he gave me another chance enoch walk with him when you've been marked lessons become blessings when you've been marked correction becomes protection when you've been marked moments of defeat can become moments of deliverance cain was marked so for anybody that god has corrected i need you to know that's a mark that he's not finished with you because when he's done he takes his hand off but i declare everybody standing up everybody's standing up you've been marked and there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it jesus was marked they tried to kill him before it was time if you study scripture even all the way to john john chapter 8 he said before abraham was i am they they gathered stones to stone him but jesus hid himself and went out of the temple and passing through the midst of them and passed by he literally disappeared in front of him they couldn't even find him when you've been marked he'll make you invisible to your enemies there's so much more and if you want more you got to come back tell somebody i've been marked say it like you mean it i've been marked your life is going to reflect the marking of god there is nothing that anyone can do about god choosing you and anyone who tries to put their hands on you will learn what the enemies of cain learned god can correct me but you better keep your hands off me father seal this word bless your people and win souls to the kingdom according to your will in jesus name amen if you're here you've never given your life to jesus if you're online and you want to be a part of relentless church i want everyone to
