Keith Moore The Church Pt 11 The Glory Of The Lord

ah somebody did the math for me back there they said to do to preach those two point five million sermons that have already gone out and that is that this year that's this year just this year it would have taken me two thousand two hundred and eighty three years doing three services a day 365 days a year I mean yeah every day of the year three services a day 2283 years well I don't think I'm gonna live that long I don't want to be down here that far I want to finish my tour of duty and go yeah but just it you know to do the the kind of ministry and to reach the folks that's happening and not just with us but with many ministries impossible in days gone by God has given us these tools and so tools are important aren't they and people want to try to make fun of us and say I y'all are that you know health and wealth gospel Bunch and y'all talk about things and you talk about boats and airplanes and and the money and this and then you're not be talking like that you ought to be talking about the gospel well they have been listening because as this what we're talking about but it takes money right to get the gospel out yeah so thanks be unto God it's happening I said it's happening the Lord tarries is coming what could he do with us in another five years our 10000 into God let's believe big let's think big get stirred up on your vision list right now begin to pull him out look your to look if you haven't looked real close look this afternoon before you come back to church this evening and stir yourself up and about all the things that God's done for you this year every goal that was reached everything that you're able to mark off that the Lord brought to pass because I want you full of Thanksgiving when you come in here tonight I mean just brimming with Thanksgiving right so if anybody just rub up against you you'll go thank you lord okay thank God if they just push you a little bit you go out thank you oh thank you Lord you so good to me full of Thanksgiving would you turn please to Matthew this morning Matthew the 16th chapter Matthew 16 we've been on the subject for some weeks now the subject the title of the the series is called the church the church and we're saying the church is not just a Sunday thing Church is not just a Sunday thing millions think it is but it's much much much much more Matthew 16 and verse 13 when Jesus came to the coasts of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples saying whom do men say that I the Son of Man am who who are people saying I am and they said well some people say do you John the Baptist some people say you're Elijah some people say you're Jeremiah are some people say you're one of the prophets and he did not get into any debate about any of those things but he said what whom say you that I don't let people play intellectual with you and argue and go into great unnecessary detail about nothing did you stop them and go what do you believe and if they want to go off on tangents oh they believe part of this brother you're stuck up what do you do what do you do what you believe and what you do is what you are nothing more important about you than what you believe and what you do now many people don't see that they don't see how important what you believe is so odd you know I don't think it's all that important you know I don't I don't get involved in those things and I don't go to church you know I don't think what you believe is all that important all the things you're doing you're doing because of what you believe you the believe in God or you don't or and if you don't believe in God what is your standard of right and wrong of good and evil everything you do comes back to what you believe everything and you don't know what to believe unless you get in this book right and if you're not believing this you're breathing wrong it was the what about all the other religions we do not acknowledge them oh oh oh that's naira oh that's I can't be a Christian and acknowledge another God I can't be if you acknowledge that there are other gods besides the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and the father of our Lord Jesus Christ then you are not a Christian and if you acknowledge that there's any other way to salvation in heaven and God the Father except through the one and only Jesus then you are not a Christian you're something but you're not a Christian well I observe a basic judeo-christian reference you're lost it's got to be personal Jesus what do you say whom do you say I am and friend this is this one of the most important things in life with every man and woman what do you say about Jesus what do you believe about him and what have you done with that that determines your eternal condition what do you say whom say you that I am Peter Simon Peter answered he said and he didn't mince words and there were times when he messed up and he got both feet in his mouth and and he just popped up when he should have been quiet but this is one time he got it right he heard from God and he didn't hesitate he said you are the Christ you are the son of the Living God oh yeah yeah yeah and Jesus looked at him in there were times he had to say get behind me Peter not this time this time he said Peter mmm you did not get that from flesh and blood you got that straight from the father Peter boy this revelation brother you you got that straight from God the Father everybody said out loud he is the Christ the Son of the Living God said out loud Jesus is the Christ the Son of the Living God and my lord glory to God oh this is so important you must not be ambiguous about this you must not be frivolous or look at this lightly this is it Jesus is everything to everybody he is the Anointed One the the one who was to come the savior of all mankind he he is the Redeemer he is the son of the Living God not not some dead Rock the Living God who made all things verse 18 when he said flesh and blood didn't reveal this to you he said I say also to you you are Peter that's a word for stone that means stone that men might be able to move and upon this rock that's a different word that's rock like mountain on this rock I will build my church what Rock what were they talking about the rock of the Christ the Son of the Living God who is the foundation of the church no it's not Peter it's Jesus it's Jesus on this rock I I Jesus will build my church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it we've been talking about the church for some weeks now and the Lord is interested in building his church how much of a priority do you think it is to him how important is this to him his building his church notice how personal he says it he says on this rock I am going to build my Church I like it when he calls us his church don't you I like it when he says I'm gonna need to see this Elmo send an angel he said I'm gonna do this thing who Jesus the Christ the head of the church he said I am going to build my church on this rock this immovable Mountain how many know daniel said saw in a vision all the kingdoms of the world that came up the head of gold and the chest of silver and the legs and eye of iron and mixed and then he saw these represented all the kingdoms of the world and from then throughout the future he said I saw a great stone cut out without hands oh it's like a mountain and it came and it hit that thing and it made it into dust and that thing lasted forever what is that great mountain stone it's this it's this it's what the church is built on it's the kingdom of God that shall never ever end and who's in the kingdom you're in the kingdom and the kingdom's in you you are the kingdom you you are the church all we don't know what that means we don't know what that means but in days to come in the eons to come you and I are gonna be the ones robed in the righteousness of God we're gonna be the ones with his name in US and on us and people are gonna look at us and created beings gonna look at us ago say who are those who are those ago that's the church they ride with him they live with him he lives with them yeah yeah we're his we're his church well right now it's being built and it is not completed when you see folks that are lost and don't know God's you're to think building materials because when the last living stone is sealed into place and the church is finished this thing's going to be done and the Lord is going to come back and he's going to inhabit the church with all of his glory forever should you and I be very very interested and focused on working with him to build his church oh we should be we should be and when we say his church we're not just talking about one or two or three local assemblies you and I are and this church is part of the church right and we gave you some figures some time back I mean compared to all the believers that we know about that are professing on the planet we are liddie biddies I mean small part but thank God were a part millions and millions and millions and millions and millions on the earth and millions already in heaven the church is big but it's supposed to get a lot bigger the Lord is building his church now I want you to go with me today to Ephesians please Ephesians and the 3rd chapter we talked about the church some things about the purpose of the church some things about what the church is what is the church the church are those who are called out and called together with the church is the those written the Bible says in heaven those written in the Lamb's Book of Life the Bible also calls the church the body those terms are used interchangeably the body of Christ and the church the church is also called the Bride of Christ and the rillette our relationship between us and the Lord is compared to that of a husband and a life and I want us to talk more about that today and get into some specifics about the purpose of the church why what is the Lord doing with his church what does he want his church to accomplish in the earth he wants it to be built we know that he is at work by the Spirit of God by His Word by His angels by us building the church now building means increasing it numerically bringing people in that have not been born again but then also those who are already in building them up strength wise and in growing them up in every way so he is building his church how many know the Lord loves his church and is building his church do you understand the devil hates the church and seeks to destroy the church that's that's his objective that's his work but what did Jesus say on this rock I'm gonna build my church and what he didn't say the devil wouldn't try to hurt us and tear us apart he but What did he say the gates of hell all the authority had all the power of Hell shall not prevail will not be successful and there's two sides of that is finished if you read it in the amplified if you look up the words one the gates of Hell shall not be able to prevail over us but then another meaning of that is the gates of hell the authority and power of Hell will not be able to hold out against us the church is not just to be defensive the church is to be offensive right and what's behind those gates of Hell well there are millions of people who our minds are in darkness and held in bondage and that's not all the power of the enemy is not strong enough to keep us from getting them and getting them out of that and into the church and no power and work of the enemy is strong enough to just come in and overwhelm us and defeat us greater is He that's then he that's in the world and if God be for us who well you can say like this what difference does it make if who's against it if God's for you you cannot be defeated Custer to defeat you you'd have to defeat God if he's for you and glory to God he is and you know if you won't what God wants for the same reasons he wants it you become uncomfortable you become undefeatable why because you become one with him I'm gonna go over that again if you are selected if you desire what God desires for the same reasons he desires you become one with him you become unstoppable you become undefeatable oh that huh do you hear that D like that you become uncomfortable that's why you become more than a conqueror and over cover one who triumphs always you're one with him in Ephesians well let's begin in the first chapter are you believing with me this morning I would ask you to this is a big big big subject and I'm believing God to just focus on the appropriate parts for right now if he's ins 1 verse 3 blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ according as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before him in love having predestinated us to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself according to the good pleasure of his will to the praise of the glory of His grace wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved now I'm gonna keep reading but I to draw your attention to the word concerning glory you're gonna see this word come up again and again don't let it just go past you because you've heard this and read this have you ever studied the subject of glory in the Bible it is big I mean it is Jagga Jewish humongous big hundreds and hundreds and hundreds I mean if you just put the word glory in in your concordance search you gonna come up with about five hundred references just like that and if you try to look up the other words that are translated glorious sometimes the same word it just keeps increasing from there and expanding from there big big big God is called the god of glory somebody say glory God is called the god of glory now keep that man how he keep reading he said we've been called we've been chosen we've been predestinated - what verse 6 - what - the praise of the glory of His grace wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved manner I used that for that phrase often times in my prayer and talking to the Lord talking to other people that have just gotten saved or gotten back to God do you know what makes you acceptable to the Lord it's what's already been done in Jesus it's not your performance it's not how good a life you can live if you have faith in Jesus and put your trust in him you have already been accepted in the beloved when he accepted Christ he accepted you my mama said nothing the Lord did in his earth walk and in his substitutionary sacrifice did he do for himself he didn't need it he did it for you when he was crucified you were crucified when he was scourged you were scourged mrs. Warren Oh what do you mean how that why was he doing it whose sins was he buried whose sicknesses and pains was he carrying so in him it was you are this whole thing's about substitution he took your place so that you took his place when he was judged you were judged in him when he was crucified you were crucified he did none of this for himself when he went to the heart of the earth when he paid the price it was you oh but glory to God when he was raised we were raised when he was justified we were justified in him when he what he had done was accepted of the Father and the father was satisfied with the price that had been paid and the work that had been done that means he satisfied with you and me and everyone that would ever put their faith in Him is it true remember what Paul said I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live and the life I live glory to God I don't live in the flesh but I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me when he died you died when he was buried you were buried when he was judged you were judged when he paid the price you paid it when he was raised from the dead you have been raised from the dead I know physically it hasn't happened but in God it has already happened and it could not happen in your future if it had not already happened in him when he was raised and sat at the right hand of Majesty on high you were raised and I and sat down with him in the place of complete victory complete righteousness and cleanness and holiness you and I were and are in him Corie to God glory to God glory to God oh thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you go to Ephesians 2 Ephesians 2 verse 4 manifests don't stir you up you just you're not awake or something oh you just stay with if you're not excited about it don't don't throw this away keep hearing it keep thinking about it until the revelation comes to you of what's going on here this is you know real Christianity is not this dull dead boring thing that passes for Christianity and so much of the earth oh no no no Christianity is the most exciting thing on the planet and all time and eternity it is the most exciting the most exhilarating that the fullest life that possible there is no life outside of him Ephesians 2:4 but God who is rich rich rich rich in mercy for his great love wherewith he loved us even when we were dead in sins hath quickened us together with Christ when Christ was made alive were we made alive the Bible says we were by grace were safe not based on anything you did it's just the grace of God and what else happened he has raised us up together when he was raised were you raised this is worthy of much meditation said out loud when he died I died when he was crucified I was crucified now let's just stop right there what are you talking about the old man the man full of sin the disobedient rebellious man did you hear me the ungodly man the guilty man the man that should have been judged was judged and did die all gory to God that you should no longer live the rest of your life subject to sin said out loud the old man is dead dead crucified buried the old man is dead and we were dead in sins but he has quickened us he has made us alive together with Christ by grace you're safe and has raised us up together together with who with Jesus when he was raised were we raised and what else and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ G when he was sat down at the right hand of Majesty on high are we included in that are we in him glory to God we we we've barely scratched the surface of what this means why that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of His grace in his kindness to us through Christ Jesus bless the Lord bless the Lord now every one of these verses is powerful but skip on down to chapter three chapter three chapter three he said verse 7 where of I was made a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of his power unto me Who am less than the least of All Saints is this grace given that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ should we preach about riches in every way and to make all men see what is the Fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God who created all things by Jesus Christ when man fell see against God disobeyed God and all was lost God still loved men and he wanted still to show the exceeding riches of His grace to man and man's descendants and mankind but he could not justly do it it would not have been right would not have been just but he had a plan that was kept secret from angels and demons and men how many a few want some things to work out right you you got to keep it to yourself so that he can't get out and get messed up right and God kept it he kept it as a mystery even people profits that prophesied about it they didn't know what it meant and the angels the Bible said desire to look into it they were there and didn't know what was going on and most of all the devil did not know what was going on God knew how to be able to love his man and bless his man and do everything he wanted to do for his man anyway anyway even though man had failed so miserably and and this you know disobeyed so fully God became man and dwelt on the earth and the Bible said the you know the law was given through Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus and the Bible tells us that Jesus was and is the exact image of the glory of God and John said we saw his glory we we handle it we saw him we heard him we touched him the glory of God and that glory and that life in that light was manifested and he took our place I said he took our place completely and as he did the devil thought this was his final big - big hurrah he thought he was doing it now he was going to kill the son of God oh yeah he thought uh oh God the Father has slipped up some way and I have got access to Jesus the Son and I am taking him out and didn't know God had it planned since before the garden and that he was playing right into the hands of the Almighty the Bible says if the devil had known if the demons had known what was going on they would not have crucified who the lord of glory they would not have done it but they didn't know and they just were right on into it and they motivated men and manifested through people and they mocked him and and judged him and they scourged him and they crucified him and they killed him and they thought they had done it but they did not know what they had taken would destroy them forever and at the end of three days and nights justice was satisfied the price had been paid Oh glory to God the price had been paid for every sin that every man every woman had ever done or ever would do paid paid and God the Father spoke from the throne of heaven and he said this is my beloved son today I've begun and the Son of God was born anew in the heart of the earth and it shook hell to the core and sugar glory to God he got the keys of death and hell and the grave and here I come up out of there and he got back in his body and he was glorified from top to bottom and they saw him he said don't touch me don't touch me I hadn't gone to the Father yet but you go and tell the disciples tell the people I'm going to my father and your father my God and yoga why can he say that now because what had happened in Adam and Eve has been undone it has been undone and the law of separation has been torn down Oh glory to God and the Bible said he entered in to the holy of holies not on the earth in heaven the real Holy of Holies that that one was patterned after and he came in there with his own blood Oh glory to God and he put it on the altar and he made an eternal Redemption and bought us for all time and eternity and the Bible tells us that God the Father who is righteous above all was satisfied with that and accepted that and when he did that he accepted you because Jesus did none of this for himself he didn't need it he did it all for you and me taking our place he did it as a man glory to God why did I go into all that well I'd like to if I didn't have a reason because it's just it doesn't get any better than that but keep reading and you see one he said if he's is three he said mercy to me Who am less than the least of All Saints is this grace given that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ and to make all men see what is the Fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the world had been hidden God who created all things by Jesus Christ to the intent that now now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God what is the purpose of the church in the earth with the Lord's building his church his purpose is to build this church to bring the millions in who don't know him into the church and the church be built and then those with the millions that are already there to all be built up unto full maturity and christ-like perfection he's building his church well then what is he doing though with the church that he's building what is his purpose what does he want to happen with the church other than it being built up he intends that through the church oh this is big friends through the church his manifold wisdom beaten be revealed and be shown and be demonstrated hallelujah to the heavens and to the earth oh do you see this look at verse 10 again to the intent that now until the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord in whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him let's skip on down to verse 20 now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us now this is then this is above he's able to do above what we ask or think but it's not don't don't assume that it's completely separated from us it is connected with us what he's able to do he's able to do beyond above and beyond what we've asked our thought because we're limited in our understanding but our insides are not limited power can work in us beyond what we understand with our head right beyond what we know how to ask of it don't you thank God for speaking in tongues you can pray out things bigger than you'd ever be able to think greater than you'd ever be able to ask and described but you can have inside you a power working stronger than anything that's in your head or in your past experience and according to that power he's able to do but now read the next verse read the next verse all this is happening to what end verse 21 - what in he's able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think according to the power that works in us on to him be glory we're in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages throughout all not just down here on the earth throughout all the ages to come God's intent with the churches that people look at us and go glory to Jesus glove they look at us and go glory to Jesus glory to Jesus what is his intent to get glory through us in us by us can you say Amen go to first Corinthians please the eleventh chapter I think we're about to get excited what are you what do you think that's all right first Corinthians 11 first Corinthians 11 the Bible says the well let me just skip down to verse 7 first Corinthians 11 7 a man indeed ought not to cover his head for as much as he is the image and what and glory of God but the woman is the glory of the man say that out loud that last phrase the woman is the glory of the men now he don't don't get confused or spread this he's talking about husband and wife don't take it out beyond the context he's told my husband and wife the wife is the glory of the husband she is his glory why would we say that well if you read any fees if you've read your Bible you know it the Bible says that husbands and wives are godly marriage is a type of Christ and the church are you with minute the woman is the glory of the man now there are there been too many men that didn't know anything about God or the Bible except wives submit by God you go submit the mirror that's gonna be healthy okay you don't know anything about God I wouldn't have even saved the Lord never told the man anything about his wife submitting that's too weak men husbands the Lord never said one word to you anything to you about your wife submitting to you nothing that is not your area it is not your responsibility he was not talking to you when he said wives submit he and you're not to have anything say about it but what if they won't submit well then they won't what am I gonna do about it did you do the same thing the Lord does when his bride doesn't submit you follow his example right does he make us submit never will it cost us if we don't yeah yeah but because of ignorance and selfishness and people don't even know God they have tried to treat their wife as inferior and you know she ought to just be seen and not heard and barefoot and pregnant and home and she don't know anything that she can't say and treated like an underling ignite many countries today this is the way it is and yet the Bible says that the wife is the man's what his glory well the more humiliated the more maltreated the wife is is that glorious no doesn't bring the man glory no the full development of the wife the wife reaching her full potential her being glorious glorifies her husband now there's a lot of people men and women men I'm filming right now that are so insecure and so fearful that any success their life would have they feel threatened by it and it's because they don't know who they are in Christ and they don't know you know I don't try to be the head of this church under the Lord I am I don't try I'm not working at being the head of my household I am I'm not working at it I'm not trying to be it I'm not trying to convince you I'm not trying to convince Phyllis I am and because I'm secure in my place in God and Who I am in him I don't feel threatened when Phyllis is used of God when the Lord gives her revelation when he uses her and gives her things when he gives her money when he blesses her when he uses her flat the better she looks the better I look she's my glory is it true so if I got any sense I don't want her held back in any way I want her to reach her full potential spiritually mentally emotionally physically financially socially every way one her development is mine her victory is my victory what she's my wife she's my glory can you see that this perverted twisted thing if I'm gonna keep my wife under my thumb and you're gonna do what I say you're not gonna threaten me that has been taught from the pulpits concerning the church and the Lord that some way another if we were strong enough and blessed enough and rich enough that it would take away from God some way did you hear me so we're supposed to be abject broke defeated that some way another us being solo shows how big he is I want you to know he knows who he is he trying to be the head he hits the head he ain't got one molecule of insecurity about him and he never been threatened by your success or mine or anybody else's he is the head of the church and he's the head of this family and he's the head of this manage but he has ordained that he get glory to himself through through us through us [Music] this has not been taught like it needs to be this says this has not been understood you got people still want to know I don't know is it God's will to heal me I don't know is that God's will have to help me pay my bills well I don't know if then I don't need that I can live in this cardboard box I I I can ride this bicycle with the broke chain if I could just get me a new chain I'd be fine people think it gives glory to God it's ignorant I said it's ignorant the Dumber I am and the broker I am and sicker I'm more defeated I'm what I'm full of sin but I'm just a no sinner and that just shows the glory of God sin does not show the glory of God the work of the devil does not show the glory of God let me tell you what shows the glory of God you were full of sin but now you are free from sin and you are glorious you are victorious you couldn't feed yourself but now you feed another people that glorifies God you were a liar and undependable but now you're a father too fatherless you're a leader to those who need leading you're somebody that can be depended on that glorifies God not failure not sin not works of destruction it is the Lord's plan and he's working it right now to get glory to himself through us can you say Amen turn to a second Corinthians 2nd Corinthians the 3rd chapter my my my glory to God glory to God glory to God glory to God what are you saying glory glory to God glory to God glory to God glory to God glory to God God has ordained that he be glorified in the church not just right now now and in the ages to come I get glimpses in my spirit of our future what is glory but you know maybe I should touch on that just a little bit what is glory we we use the word but I don't think we know much about it these are words that are translated from the Hebrew and Greek and original words for glory there it's translated splendor splendor brightness magnificence excellence dignity grace glory Majesty perfection how many can see this is something that's hard for men to describe we're using all these that how many stone these are not secondary words these are the highest words we know how to use when we say splendor huh when we say magnificent excellent perfect you know that you don't have to say anything any higher than that well what's happening is our vocabulary is failing to express this I wrote this down last night I thought about similar things to this before what is glory glory is what God is only inside somewhere no that helps me to get a hammer glory that's that's Jesus insides that's his insides what is he he's wall-to-wall splendor brightness magnificence excellence honour and grace and majesty and perfection and you got to start talking in tongues and and you can't tell it all because it's God and it's what he is only inside and that is what you and I are predestined to that is what his purpose is to manifest through us for the whole world and the heavens to see is his insides in US and through us so that when people see us they see splendor and brightness and magnificence and honor and Majesty and perfection and they don't know how to say it they just go glory to God glory to God glory to God glory to God it's not how beat down and broken defeated we are God intends that people that don't know him at all would look at us and just be amazed and going you're something you're you're a man you think you say you think we're something you ought to see our God this this glory that you're seeing it's him it's him manifesting on us and through us what do we tell my we God is good it's his goodness manifested God is light god is love God is holy right God is righteous what we're talking about when people see the lives of goodness and fairness and victory and light are you with me they're seeing God they're seeing the glory of God Jesus says is the Express exact manifestation an image of his image and of his glory so much so that at the end of his life What did he say if you have seen me you have seen the father not because he is the father no some people try to say that but that's not true too many scriptures that say otherwise but why because the father is in him and he is in the father and it was the father and is the Father's will to manifest God's very insides through this man well where are you right now hold that place and go to John 17 this is a good way to wind up the year and and go into the next I mean ended up with glory in take off into the new and with more glory glory glory [Applause] glory to God glory to God in the highest glory to God glory what are you saying when you say glory huh you're saying splendor and brightness humming doing the Old Testament when God did show up oftentimes what they see they saw that that glory cloud they saw that light didn't it or they'd see the fire and light of glory why he's always been that and he'll always be that splendor magnificence brightness excellence preeminence dignity and honor and grace and Majesty and perfection and I like the Bible word you just roll it all together and saying glory good glory glory to God it is God's will in this church and in every church that he be able to manifest himself in his splendid magnificence that the glory of God just filled the atmosphere and hanging over our heads and manifest innocent honest and in our seats to the point that his presence is so real to us that we just slide it in our chair and just go home glory to God glory to God glory to God and see Mike it's been a few minutes and you look up and it's 7:30 in the evening and you go whoa glory to God glory to God this is what eternity is gonna be like the ages are gonna pass and nobody will care because the Bible said in the place where you and I are going there is no Sun there is no Sun there is no moon there are no lightbulbs no lightbulbs don't need any electricity but it's not dark it's always life there's no night there there's no dark there's no shadows there why because the glory of God the glory of the lamb is the light glory to God oh mama John 17 can you take some more of this John 17 Jesus is about I mean he is just before offering himself up he has completed his earthly ministry of teaching and preaching and doing what the Lord told him to do it is our example and now he's about to complete the work as our substitutionary sacrifice and he is not ignorant of it he knows it he has seen himself in the prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah he knows what's about to happen to him fully he's aware of it and he goes to prayer before the Father before he finishes this phase and this prayer in John 17 have you read it would you like to kneel down beside Jesus and listen to him pray they could learn anything you can't just read just kneel down and read a chapter 17 out loud and you're hearing Jesus pray at this hour of his life of all the things he could have been praying about listen to what he prayed for John 17 1 these words spoke Jesus and lifted up his eyes to heaven and he said father the hour has come this is it we're here what every prophecy in every side and every wonder and every miracle since the Garden of Eden had been building up towards we're here father the hour is come what'd he say glorify your son who who him glorify your son me that sounds strange to us what's the next phrase that the son may glorify you see people have not put this together they thought oh oh no glory to me no glory with me all glory to God he wants to glorify you so that he gets the glory out of you do you see this now keep reading it becomes clearer and clearer as you've given him power over all flesh that he should give eternal life to as many as you've given him and this is life eternal that they might know you the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have said I have glorified you on the earth and I have finished the work that you gave me to do that's what he did in the earth we are his church we are he's the head we are his body what are we to be doing same thing same thing our purpose of existence is to glorify Him to glorify Him if it doesn't glorify God get it out of your life right if it doesn't glorify God in this church let's not do it let's eliminate it let's get away from it right glorify Him to glorify Him I've glorified you verse 5 now father what he says it again what glorify thou me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was did this is what God has always been before there was a world this glory Oh hallelujah skip down to verse 17 he says sanctify them his followers through your word your word is truth and as you have sent me into the world even so I also have sent them into the world why was he sent for the glory of God the Father why are we sent same thing and for their sakes I sanctify my selves myself that they might be sanctified through the truth I pray neither pray I for these alone but for them also which shall believe on me through their word we are reading John's words right now we have come to believe on him through their words so he was praying for you in verse 20 he was praying for me and for you right here right now wouldn't be pregnant this is praying specifically for you jesus prayed verse 21 what that they all may be one if there's no unity there is no church we're not just the called ones we are the called together once that they may be one one as you Father are in me and I in you that they ought they also may be one in us that the world may believe that you sent me and and oh no you have to hold on the chair on this one ah and the glory which you gave me I have given to them we haven't seen news me we haven't lived in this like we're supposed to the glory that you gave me Jesus is talking to his father I have given that glory you gave me to fill them who he just kept UCD specifically talking about all of us who had come to believe through their words that they may be one even as we are one there are one in the glory they live in that glory they are that glory and Friends in that glory you go this is where I want to stay forever I never want to leave this this is where I live from now on in this splendor this magnificence this perfection this glory it's what lights heaven it's how you can see in heaven you see by the glory I in them and thou in me that they may be made perfect in one that the world may know that you've sent me and you've loved them as you have loved me father I will that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am where is he he's in Norway once at one verse says he's in glory where are you gonna be then in glory that they may do what that they may behold my glory which you have given me for you love me before the foundation of the world what is our future glory glory what's happening right now well that's where second Corinthians comes in go to 2nd Corinthians the third chapter I've got more of this in me than I can tell you it's bigger than I know how to say well it's God so that shouldn't be surprising what is God on the inside he's glory he's glow he's perfection he's light he's laughs he splendor he's magnificence how do people see him in the earth that don't know him they're supposed to see that splendour and magnificence in us they're supposed to see that righteousness and goodness in us and it's not the dollar we are we are not to be a dumb ugly rude crude uncouth broke sick wife [Applause] what kind of wife should the Lord have who would be up to being his wife huh are y'all gonna help me out with this or not what kind of life should he have somebody's scared cowering in the background huh that every time he moves his hand they jump and they shake and they move back Oh a wife that is glorious glorious somebody that Jesus the master the Lord Himself has known as a hesitation or reservation about going my bride your brother my bride by your die my bride who the church my bride how many no you don't marry somebody they can't even understand you that doesn't have a fraction of your capacity our ability that's not somebody you want to spend your days and nights with in your life with you want somebody that can understand you and think on your level and believe on your level and operate in your true vision we are widowed for mom Bobby we lost a bunch of foot red tents we are are the Bride of Christ and we're not all that we shall be but we're headed that way I said we're headed that way glory to God glory to God second Corinthians three I think I can close with this we shall see 2nd Corinthians 3 verse 6 2nd Corinthians 3:6 says he's made us able ministers of the New Testament not of the letter but of the spirit for the letter killeth but the Spirit gives life but if the ministration of death written and engraven in stones was glorious so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance which glory was to be done away how shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather glorious our more glorious somebody say greater glory greater glory he's comparing the first covenant the the Old Covenant to the New Covenant when God entered into covenant with his people Israel that he delivered from Egyptian bondage I mean it came with power he came down on the Mount and the whole mount burnt with fire and ascended up into heaven he spoke out of the fire and it shook the earth all around it shook everybody he took his finger and he wrote in stone and when Moses came down off the Mount that he had been so much in the glory that he shy he radiated glory he was like a walking light bulb he was why because he had been around glory he had been in the presence of glory Oh can you see it and that's the way the first covenant came but you're gonna see he's comparing now the glory of this covenant compared to that and he's saying this is much much more glorious than that [Music] keep read keep read verse 10 where'd I stop reading verse 8 verse 9 if the ministration of condemnation that's the Old Covenant the giving of the law if that be glory much more does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory this is way on out beyond that glory for even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect by reason of the glory that excels in other words it doesn't even compare to this glory for if that which is done away was glorious much more than which remains is glorious seeing then that we have such hope we use great plainness of speech not as Moses that put a veil over his face that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished they couldn't take much glory could they they weren't born again couldn't take much their minds were blinded until this day remains the same veil and taken away in the reading of the Old Testament which veil has done away in Christ it is sad that so many read the Old Testament and don't see Christ and they don't see Jesus they got something over them they can't see it fail but even to this day when Moses is read the veil is upon their heart nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord when anybody turns to the Lord the veil is taken away now the Lord is that spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there's Liberty but we all with open face nothing over our face beholding as in a glass or a mirror what are we looking at what are we looking at as we're looking at the glory of the Lord we are changed into the same image of glory how does it happen from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord this is happening in us as we see his glory what happens as we see and behold and experience his glory it glorifies us like when Moses was in the presence of God and beheld God's glory what happened to him he became glorious oh come on come on can you see this now he became glorious and when he came down did the people see the glory of God but who were they looking at Moses but what were they seeing the glory of God did that glorify God yes but they're looking at Moses and the Bible tells you and me right here that this new covenant that Dineen compared to this this is so much more glorious than that it doesn't compare and that was temporary this is forever oh my my my my my what's God's will for 2007 he's a building his church he's building his church and what is his purpose in his church to get glory to himself through his bride through his church how are we gonna get become more glorious we must see his glory just like Moses did just like that we must behold the glory we must stir our self up and believe God to see the glory of God in 2007 beyond what we have seen it in times previous can we believe God can we hunger for it can we desire and hunger to see his glory but how would we see his glory we see his glory in people getting saved we see his glory and people getting back to God we see his glory and people getting filled with the spirit we see his glory and people getting healed we see his glory in miracles and signs and wonders going we see his glory and prosperity in deliverance from financial issues and problems we see his glory we see his glory and as we behold his glory what happens it gets on us it gets on us and the more how many think it would please God very well if you and I had such services we had such services where we got permeated and saturated by the glory and presence of God that even on Monday morning when we came to work people that go and you'd go what they'd go oh nothing I don't know what what you been doing you look different he's got light shining on his face is there a bulb shining on him Union City Bob what's so full of love so full of truth so full of grace so full of the goodness of God they're looking at you but what do they see in their seeing the glory of God and that glorifies God listen to this in closing 4th chapter if this all flows together through this whole 4th chapter but it says verse 6 verse 6 verse 6 of chapter 4 for 6 for God who commanded the light to shine out of Darkness how many know that's glorious how many would light would have liked to been you know hanging around beside God when the earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep and you stood there beside him when you heard him say light be I think that was glorious he collected have seen light created he said God commanded the light to shine out of the darkness he has now shined in our hearts what happened then is not as big as what's happening now i'ma give you a little more detail he did it again in the spirit when Jesus came when Jesus was born into the earth it was another way of saying but a much bigger greater way of saying light be because he was and is the light and the light was manifested to the man and the glory of God was shown and people in darkness could now say I see God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness has shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge are you eating with me now the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ but it doesn't stop there but we have this trick what treasure what treasure the glory of God that's in Jesus is that us because he's in us we've got this treasure in earthen vessels in these little mud pot bodies that need to be changed so bad and will be but even right now not will we get to heaven right now we have the treasure of the glow of the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ we have this treasure in these earthen vessels that the excellency excellence is a lot glory to the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us
