if you greet your neighbor you may take your seat hallelujah [Music] glory to God well if you open your Bibles with me to Isaiah chapter 43 and most of the night I will be reading out of the easy reading version of the Bible and from time to time we'll look at King James and what he has to say but for the most part it's the easy reading version of the Bible and Isaiah chapter 43 verse 18 it says so don't remember what happened in earlier times I believe the King James Version says remember not to former things then it goes on to neither consider the things of old he says behold be verse 19 because I'm doing something new now you will grow like a new plant surely you know if this is true I will even make a road in the desert in rivers that will flow through the dry land and so God says to you and I remember not the former things neither consider the things of old I believe that in this season that you and I are in and not just particularly any you know a word for this church but it's a word for the church I believe that we're in a new season where God is doing some new things and some new revelation and I was saying an awakening is happening to the church and who we are and taking our place in the body of Christ but in the world itself and to discover who we are and then begin to walk out who God has called us to be but in order for God to do that take us into something new he has to process that he said remember not the former things neither consider the things of old or don't consider the old things he said behold because I'm doing a new thing the King James Version says shell you not know it and God said he'll make a way how many know when it seemed like it is no way or that things cannot change I said I'm able to make a way he's able to make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert so whatever is dry it's about to spring forth hallelujah and God's about to do something new as a result of anybody looking for anything new hallelujah you know everybody you know I say this all the time people want new things and they want change but change is not easy you know it's very hard because we're used to doing things a certain way I remember several years ago God began to speak to us about doing some new things in our ministry and we're open to whatever God wants to do it's like that's exciting yes god what you want to do new things and God said I want to do a new thing and we shall ask grace in there every Sunday God says I want to do something new we said okay God what you want to do new he said I want to do something new but you keep doing the same old thing so we had to stop think about what we were doing and then seek the face of God because it's easy to do everything you know to do and it's easy to keep doing the same old thing again and so we had to revamp everything relaunch everything and begin to seek the face of God and to see in the heart of God wouldn't search look like to you what is my life look like to you and now begin to line and we're still beginning to line ourselves up with the new thing that God is doing in our lives now when he says remember not the former things neither consider the things of old in other words he's not telling you not to remember the things that God has done for you in the past because sometimes those things that God has done for you become the catalyst of you believing and releasing your faith for what God can do for you now so what is God is saying that if you had to compare what God has done for you then and what he's about to do for you now in comparison there is no comparison so remember not the form of things neither consider the things of old behold God says I'm about to do something new in other words God is about to blow your mind what you thought was good is nothing compared to what he's about to do for you I mean that's something to be excited about I don't know about you huh it's something to look forward have your expectations high about what God wants to do 1st Corinthians chapter 2 verse 9 it starts with in a new king Bank and the King James Version see it's that your eyes have not seen ears have not heard neither has it into the heart of man the things that God has prepared for them that love him listen to me very thing that God wants to do for us in this season's that your eyes have not seen your ears have not heard it it has not even entered your heart what God has prepared for those that love him like verse 10 he said but God has revealed those things to you and I by his spirit in that great that God wants to reveal some things to you and it will only be revealed to you by the spirit sometimes we're looking for manifestations of God and what God wants to do by the flesh or the outside or what you can see naturally God is this thing that you haven't seen think that you haven't heard things that has not entered your heart can only be revealed by the Spirit of God and he goes on to give an example he says listen nobody knows the spirit of a man or nobody know the heart of anybody except for your spirit that is in you nobody knows you better than your spirit that is in you and he said just like nobody knows you but the Spirit of that is in you nobody knows God except for the Spirit of God that is in him and then he said and God has given you his spirit you know he said listen nobody knows you nobody can read your mind I don't care what they call themselves 108 which whatever they call nobody nobody can read your mind nobody knows what's going on inside of you but your spirit nobody knows what's in the heart of God except for the Spirit of God that is within him and then God gives you his spirit you and I get to tap into the heart of God to know what God is doing and this season and in this time of your life you and I get to read the mind of God we get to know what is on God's mind and you say here's what the Spirit of God is doing he is revealing to you that see that have been freely given to you by his Spirit there are some things that you don't know that God has prepared and set aside for you that your eyes have not seen ears have not heard has not int'l your heart but when we get into the presence of God when we lean upon the Spirit of God he revealed to you by his spirit the things that God has been freely given unto you things that God has for you in this season in this season is of this God doing some new things in your life God wants to reveal to you what he has for you in this season but you've got to be open to it somebody said I'm open you know sometimes we're not you know God has things that he wants to do in our lives but we're not open to whatever God wants us to do because we've been doing again the thing the way things used to be I can remember there was a ministry in our area that closed down for you know consoles going something had no business doing and the whole church just closed down and it was like wow that's so sad all those people in that church and the look like we drove by that building God said to pastor Tony it had you been open I would have gave it to you if it had I've been open I didn't know I was closed and so he did say Lord I open myself to you and every since we say Lord we open ourselves to you we just launched our sixth location in Europe Holly just to be open to God and what God wants to do and you some I said I'm open so whatever God wants to do and so in order for God to really begin to move you into the things that he has for you he has really have got to I would say recondition our thinking so that we'll be prepared for what he has for us and so I believe that one of the things that you and I have to be fully aware of and I and this is going to sound like oh yeah we know that passenger but no you really have to know this and that is to know who you are you really have to know who you are because the enemy is the one thing he would use in identifying you of setting boundaries in your life based on your theology of who you think you are and when you when you realize who God created and made you to be you be open for anything and you realize that there's nothing that can stop you from being and achieving what God has for you when you come to grips with who you are and who God made you to be I've said all the time that is the greatest crime in our society is the greatest crime that is in the church today and that is identity theft the enemy has literally robbed us of who we are and he has told us or he has allowed the world to define who we are he has set boundaries in our lives we have set boundaries in our lives by our gifts by our talents the things that have happened to us where you work at who they may call you in or out of the church we have set boundaries to our lives and we have totally forgotten that Jesus has come to define who we are he becomes the blueprint of who we are glory he's the one that's revealing to you and I who we are and when we look at the Lord Jesus Christ sometimes it look like it's a tall order to fulfill but my Bible tells me in first John 4:17 but as Jesus is so are we in this world and so that is where God wants to reveal and through that knowledge of who is we see the signs the wonders the miracles the supernatural manifestations of who God says he is and so thereby realizing who we are who God says we are and so again second Corinthians chapter 3 verse 18 the Bible talks about the Word of God being this mirror that you and I get to look at and look into and be changed and to that same image and it says from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of God now here is what's happening is the day that you got born again you are who God says you are God does not look at your past he's not looking at what you've been through and what you've gone through the determine where you are today when you got born again God's Spirit got on the inside of you and now God sees you as his son remember God said to us that he had predestined you and I Romans 8 to be conformed into the image of his son that you and I would be the firstborn among many brethren and so God sees you like he sees Jesus here's the problem is we don't see ourselves the way God sees us but he's given us a mirror so that we can see who we are and then be a reflection of what we see in the reflection God created us as a reflective being we have been programmed by God to reflect whatever in your eyes whenever you're looking at wherever you meditate or whatever you pay attention to whatever you focus on you are created by God to be a reflection of that and so God's position is that we would get in the presence of God and that we will be a reflection of who he is and that we will come from this world and we will represent who our God is to a world and so God wants us to look into the mirror of this word and then he says to be changed from one glory to another glory as by that sphere remember the Spirit is revealing to you and I what's in the heart of God you and I get to read God's mind and we see what's on the heart of God concerning our lives now again God already created you in His image in his likeness and so when when we go from glory to glory it's not a progression of us being changed into something it is us been coming into the knowledge of who we already are if God is giving you revelation of who you already are you just don't know how bad you are you just don't know how good you are you just don't know how great God has created you and so God every time we look into the mirror we get discover who we really are and he takes us from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of God listen to me you got greatness living on the inside of you you are that person that you're struggling trying to be you already that person that God sees you up and it's every time you look into the Word of God you discover who you are but here's the problem James tells us in James chapter 1 we look into the mirror of the word we see where we are but we walk away and we forget what manner of man we are and so now we forget what the word said and so now we're seeing ourselves like the doctor see we're seeing ourselves like the creditor says we're seeing ourselves like your husband your wife says that's contrary to the Word of God we see what other people have to say because when we look into the word we walked away and you forgot what manner of man you are and so God is always trying to point us back to the Word of God so that we can come into this person who God created us to be Colossians chapter 3 turn with me this I'm going to read this to you in the easy reading version Colossians hallelujah are you with me easy meeting resin said you were raised from death with Christ so live from what is in heaven where Christ is seated at the right hand of God think only about what is up there and not what is here on the earth your old self has died and your new life is kept with Christ in God that's so good in verse 10 he says now you are wearing a new life a life that is new every day you are growing in your understanding of the one who made you you are becoming more and more like him he says in this new life it doesn't matter whether you're Greek or Jew circumcised or not it doesn't matter if you speak a different language or even if you are Skippy and it doesn't matter if you are a slave or free crisis all that matter and he is in all of you so it doesn't matter how the world has defined you it doesn't matter about your education that matter how much money you make none of those things matter you have you said put off the old life king danger said put off the old life and put on the new life that is created in the knowledge of him that created you now you've got to take off the identity of the world and then you got to put on the identity of Christ and he's the one that has made you so all the other things how everybody else has defined you how you have to find yourself put that off and now be created in the knowledge of him that created you and God has a lot to say about who we are and we as a people we are really just getting to the place where we can really embrace who we are you know there was a long time ago you couldn't say that you were the righteousness of God you blasphemy how dare you say you're right and then people point out everything that's wrong about you tell your neighbors ain't nothing wrong with me hallelujah and so people are quick to tell you how wrong you are and said you ain't all that look what you did look what you did honey know your righteousness has nothing to do with what you did is everything to do with what he did and you've been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus somebody said I'm right is nothing wrong with me so when next time somebody said girl what's wrong with you oh boy what's wrong with you say nothin wrong with me hallelujah you were made right and so we now embracing this righteousness and we've hearing the message of grace and we understand that it's because of what Jesus has done that has made us right and now we are embracing our righteousness and because we are embracing our righteousness we're seeing righteousness manifest in our lives we're seeing more manifestation of who God is in our lives because we now embracing who God says we are so he breathes Hebrews chapter 2 Hebrews 2 I want to read this to you out of the easy reading version he said verse 1 so we must be careful to follow what we were taught we must be careful so that we will not be pulled away from the true way the teaching that God spoke through angels was shown to be true and every time his people did something against that teaching they were punished for what they did he said they were punished when they did not obey that teaching so surely we also will be punished if we don't pay attention to the salvation which we have that is so great the King James Version said how can we escape if we neglect so great of salvation let me give you another way looking at this because the truth was given is in two angels and when Abel didn't obey that truth they were punished and same way that you and I when you are giving truth if you don't obey the truth or you don't take I believe the first one King Denver says take heed to the things that you are hearing lest at any time you allow them to slip out if you don't pay attention to the truth that God is given you will find yourself in a place of punishment not God's punishment but you walking in this place of punishment because you don't know who you are do you know what people don't know who they ought to have a tendency to want to punish themselves because they look at this shortcomings and they don't like the what they see they don't like who they are and so they begin to neglect themselves they begin to somewhat self punish themselves he said now if the angels receive that same kind of thing how can we escape if we neglect so great a salvation that was given to us remember when you got born again God's objective is to reveal to you who you are so your salvation is the restoration of who you are your salvation was totally your restoration of bringing you to that place where God created and made you to be now how can we escape how can you break free of the boundaries that the world and yourself have put on you if you neglect if you neglect it so great a salvation or the word neglect if you don't acknowledge this great salvation if you don't have an understanding of this salvation that God has provided for you you can't break free but if you look to the eyes of the word of God through the mirror and look at that mirror and see who God made you to be you will break the boundaries of every limitation that the world and the enemy has placed on your life there will be no more limitations or in your life now you are free to do and be who God created you to be hallelujah and so God is wanting you and I to come into the knowledge of who you are who he created you to be so that you can make a difference in this world that you and I live in so that people have a knowledge of who God is and the only way they will have a knowledge of who God is if you and I have a knowledge of who God created us to be and so to break free of any bondage that the enemy is placed on your life you and I have got to look into the mirror of God's Word embrace what God is saying I know there are a lot of things that I read in the Word of God that sounds too good to be true the fact that they sound too good to be true chances are they are true hallelujah and how many know the Word of God is truth hallelujah everything that God is said in his word about you is true you know the enemy is the one that doesn't want you to know this type of truth and so God is telling you you're bigger than what you can see how many no we're not just a human being I mean oh you're a supernatural being hallelujah we were a being before you ever became human and God wants you to be in touch with the being that he created and made you to be and so that you have a sense of your humanity and what you can do because of the greater ones that lives on the inside of you not allowing your humanity to limit you but you as a spiritual being take your humanity and take this world for Jesus and what he wants you to do it living from the inside out hallelujah and so God wants to reveal to you that being that you he created you to be remember what he told Jeremiah before you were ever in you before I formed you in your mother's womb I knew you so you were being before I was flesh trapped on your being and God said he knew you and so he wants you to reveal to you who you are and who he's created you and I to be that's so exciting you know when you start to think about who God made us to be it literally causes you your heighten your senses your spiritual senses to see things differently you get to see things from a spiritual point of view and not just natural point of view and you get to live life not on this world point of view but on God's point of view and that's what God wants us to know so let's look at 2nd Corinthians chapter 5 and I'll read this to you out of the amplified verse 14 it says for the love of the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us because we are of the opinion and conviction that if one died for all then all died and he died for all so that all those who live might live no longer - and for themselves but - and for him who died and was raised again for their sake ron's obviously you know that Jesus died and he died for all of you and I and when Jesus died for you and I he who set us free of all the boundaries that the enemy has placed on our lives he set us free of all the bondages that the enemy has placed on you last all the lives that the enemy is placed over your life and this is good news of you and any type of bondage tonight here's your good news you have been set free Jesus has set you and I are free how they knew you when they rolled away that stone and Jesus was raised from the dead he rolled away every bondage that the enemy has placed over your life and Jesus has set us free hallelujah and whom the son sets free is free indeed so I don't care what a bondage is you may be in what addictions you may be in what the enemy is lied to you a God has set you free hallelujah he said in verse 16 reverse the 15 he died for all so that those who live might no longer live to themselves and for themselves but to him who died it was raised again for their sake for 16 0 endless he says consequently from now on we estimate and regard no one from a purely human point of view in terms of natural standards of value no even though we once bid estimate Christ from a human point of view and as a man and yet now we have such knowledge of him and we know him no longer in terms of the flesh he says from now on we don't regard ourselves or anyone from a purely human point of view somebody said I'm not just human they're not just natural I am supernatural hallelujah so we from now on you no longer regard yourself from just a human point of view from natural standards of value of life if nobody can put value on your life are you hearing me from a negative point of view there's no one that can put you down and say you want worth it Jesus died for you you will work is that how they loo you Jesus and Ephesians chapter 2 Paul says in this way verse 10 he says you are God's masterpiece we are God's workmanship God puts lots of value on yourself on you and who you are your main like unto him so he says you don't look at yourself from appealing human point of view he said there was a time we looked at Jesus from a human point of view but now we have such knowledge of him that we realized that he was not just a man we realized that he was more than just a man we realized who he is and when you recognize who he is then you get to recognize who you are how they knew you now he says we have such knowledge of him we don't see him the same we've been recognized when you get knowledge of who you are you should not see yourself as the same when you see that Jesus died for you he brought salvation to you he brought health to you he brought healing to you he brought deliverance to you he brought prosperity to you you should not see yourself the same you should not see yourself on a fairly human point of view now that we see Christ differently and we know that he was not just a man he was not just a prophet in Matthew chapter 16 he goes to his disciples and he says to them hey who do men say that I the Son of Man am and they said something you Dereham I some say you're Elijah you're one of the prophets and benefits it well who do you say that I am and Peter got a revelation from God thou art the Christ the Son of the Living God hallelujah remember we we want you Jesus from a human point of view but now we have such knowledge of him we don't look at him the same and just like we don't look at him the same we don't look at ourselves the same who do you say that I the son of a man and Peter by revelations that you are the Christ the Son of Olivia my Jesus the Son of the Living God so my shut on the son of a living God Oh what does that mean to you and then he says and Peter flesh and blood did not reveal that to you but my father which is in heaven hear me people flesh and blood cannot define who you are there is nobody that can tell you who you are let your blood cannot tell you the doctor cannot tell you who you are how long you're going to live how prosperous you're going to be flesh and blood cannot reveal to you my Jesus who you are only the father in heaven can reveal to you who you are you've got to get into his presence and reflect who he is [Music] Louie Oh glory to God thank you Lord Jesus and I'm telling you when you get in this presence you're changing to another man you're changing to the same image from glory to glory hallelujah he said Peter flesh and blood did not reveal that to you but my father which is in heaven he said Peter you are rock you're solid he said because now that you know who I am now you know who you are and because you know who you are here's the keys to the kingdom of heaven whatever you bound on earth is bound in heaven whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven this is a human being you have that kind of power and authority because you know who you are because you know that the greater one lives on the inside of you first John 4:4 says greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world listen tous les missed out on the first part of that you are of God you are of God and because you are God greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world so from now on we do not look at each other from a purely human point of view we see ourselves the way God sees us now verse 17 second Corinthians five said now if any man be in Christ he is a new creature the old man has passed away and behold all things of what all things are new and all things are of God somebody said I am of God that means you come from God at seventeen since you are the offspring of God I am of God and all things are of God you come from God who has reconciled us unto himself made us compatible again Holley Jesus said who do men say that I the son of a man em he said you are the christ the son of a living God you are made but you a son of oh my Jesus you are son of God Jesus was a son of man and he was a son of God you are a son of man and you are the hallelujah you are the son of God he reconciled us unto himself listen to me you and I have been made compatible again giving us in this right relationship with God again he reconciled us unto himself giving us the Ministry of reconciliation now how did he do that God was in Christ Jesus gotta get this reconciling the world unto himself not holding your sin against you God's not holding anything against you is a god I'll deserve your love I don't deserve this he's not holding anything against you God is not in heaven with a big stick in his hand waiting for you to mess up and a beat you upside your head he is not holding anything against you and I at all why because you've been reconciled because if any man be in Christ he is a new creature it's only when you look to the Word of God that you see the newness of who you are and when you discover that you take off the old man put on the new man who created in the knowledge of him who have created me and he said he has and he's no longer holding your sin against you and that committed to you and I a word of reconciliation okay that makes you and me an ambassador for Christ and he said as his ambassadors he said you and I have the position to stand in the place of God or to speak is if God were here himself Lindsay Nuuanu in this awesome position that we get to speak in Christ in the things of God as if God were here himself I think you and I were the only creative being that God created has the ability to articulate in speech and to have whatsoever you say there's nothing else I can say something and see something you and I have the ability to speak as I have whatsoever we say and you can only do that when you jump into the heart and the mind of God to know what's on the heart of God and when you get in the mind of God or get the mind of God the heart of God you can come and you can declare is if God were here himself come on you prayed for me with mark 11 if it you have whatsoever you say you and I have this spiritual capacity given to you and I by God to be able to speak words and to move things in the atmosphere by the words of your mouth that is so powerful listen in this natural world you and I if you want if I wanted to get this tablet from from off this podium over into her hand I had to pick it up bring it over here and give it to her now she has it I can't just wish that tablet in her hand I can't hope that tablet get in her hand I have to do something I have to physically take that tablet and bring it over to and put it in her hand that's how we move things in the natural but in the spiritual realm you will not get to open your mouth weak our voice becomes the hands of the oh my god our voice becomes the hand of the spirit and we get to low things in the spirit by the words of our mouths [Music] we are creative being with the ability to speak words and to have whatsoever or glories of God have whatsoever you say and your mouth become the hands of the spirit and so you and I get to speak if the gobbler hear himself and tell the world be reconciled unto God he said for he Jesus who knew no sin became sin with your sin and my sin that we didn't know any righteousness we can be made the righteousness of God you and I have been made righteous because of Jesus and what he has done for us and now that makes us the righteousness of God and then because we are right we have the ability to speak and say thing and move thing in the spirit we get to move things from the eternal round into the natural round by the words by the words of our mouth and so the world can no longer because of our own words our world can no longer defined who we are Jesus said in John chapter 17 of you know verse 14 he says of you are not of the world even as I am NOT of the world another translation said the world can no longer can no more define you then it can define me the world cannot define Jesus in the world cannot define you there is no definition outside of God the word that would define who you are it's like trying to describe God now we label each other all the time we black we white you short you're ugly you're fat you're skinny you're mean you're nasty those words of boundaries are put on your life by the enemy you can't define who you really are my Jesus you cannot define who you are except for to say that as Jesus is so am I in this world and so here I said all that to get me to this right place right here and so here we offer at this place that flesh and blood cannot reveal to us who we are it's only through the Word of God can we be revealed again God lift the veil and allow us to see who we really are if you could see yourself the way God sees you in the spirit you would never look at yourself as same ever again you would never allow the world to put any limitations on your life you would've only declare who Jesus and who God says you are and you realize there's nothing you can't do there's nothing that you can't accomplish and everything that God has for you that God reveals to you that belongs to you you'll walk away with it now third John - you're very familiar with he says beloved I wish above all things that you would want and being what even as and so he said that she would be in health prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers well you know the soul is your mind your will and your emotions you will never prosper beyond your soul you will never prosper beyond the way you think you'll never prosper beyond the way you look and view life God can give you his word you have the mirror but then what happens you walk away and you forget who you are because if your soul doesn't prosper you will never experience the prosperity that comes from God you will never experience the biblical truths that God said belong to you you'll never encounter what God has for you if your soul is not prospering in the things of God what is proverbs 23 and 7 says as a man thinketh in his heart so is he as a man thinketh so is he as a man thinketh in his heart in his mind so is e so if you don't like your so is e what do you thinking literally listen to me now as a man thinketh and it's hard so easy hallelujah if you don't like the way you're so easy you simply have to change the way you think change the way you think your thinking is the thing that is stopping you or hindering you from achieving and walking in everything that God has - bottom line of this whole entire message the whole gospel of Jesus Christ as a man thinketh and it's heart so is he no so let me illustrate this and then take my seat then I'll be finished the long illustration don't worry it's already I did all that to get you this one could I have three people so I could demonstrate this real quick to you hallelujah yes eighty three that's just three three three Halloween Halloween glory so you all know very much very taught very well in this church first Thessalonians chapter 5 may the Lord God sanctify you wholly spirit soul and body Alleluia your spirit obviously is the part of you that communes with God never tired of hearing this it sounds so good you know if spirit man is the man that God communes with God talks to and God puts everything in your spirit that you got born again God recreated your spirit made you a new if any man be in Christ he is a new creature that old man has passed away and behold all things are new how many know this man is perfect there is nothing wrong with this man hallelujah glory for God is perfect and remember God made him perfect it is through him looking and the Word of God and discovering who God says he is that what God did here will be discovered here God already made them perfect he just don't know it yet now you know your soul is your mind your wheel in your motions you're feeling your thinker you're choosing obviously this is your body this is your communing of yourself this is you you know what you like what you don't like your feelings and all those things your favorite colors and all these things come from this area of your soul obviously this is your flesh your physical man he's the man that allow him to live life on the earth you know this is allowing him to stay here on the earth his is his earth suit it's just a suit if you were going through the moon you need a spacesuit but because you're here on the earth God gave you up earth suit hallelujah and this person is really trying to control our lives it's trying to tell us where we going where we don't go where we can do it what we can't do you know that type of thing resist the truth but here is how God created you as a man thinketh let me stand behind him so you can really so I can touch them so as a man thinketh in his heart so is he listen to me if you don't like you're so easy you got to change the way you think now when God keep puttin side of you the things that your eyes have not seen ears have not heard has not inner man's heart the things that God has prepared for him but God is revealing to him by his Spirit God put the download on the inside of this man everything that he has for him and then God wants to reveal this to him but as a man thinketh in his heart so if you let me take another easy reading version of proverbs chapter 4 verse 23 it says this be careful what you think your thoughts are controlling your life this is a weak be careful what you are thinking your thoughts control your life it is not your job that's controlling your life it's not your husband that's controlling you it's not your boss that's controlling you it's not your lack of funds that is controlling your life it is simply how you think be careful what you think your thoughts are controlling your life God wants your thoughts to come from this man not from this man but this man is telling your thoughts what to think and this man is thinking what he is thinking and now they're controlling his life no longer God but he's what he can see what he can taste when he can touch when he can feel his natural senses so what God did for you and on the day you got born again God said in Romans I'm sorry the aroma chapter 12 verse 3 that God Delta every man the measure of faith so God put the faith of God down on in history Paul got a revelation of Galatians 22:20 that he gave the faith of God is on the inside of this man and the God wants to use that faith so that you and I can change the way we're thinking so we can manifest the will of God in the earth but the only way we can do that is to change the way we think so God will give you alert and he that word will call the faith of God on the inside of you to come alive what is it now faith is the substance of things hoped for is the evidence of things they've been seeing but faith knows they're there the spirit man sees it the natural man cannot see it but he sees it why cause it's revealed to him the thing that have been freely given to him of God God showed it to him he's passing on to him whatever man thinking in his heart be careful what you think your thoughts are controlling the outcome of your life and so God gives them the faith of God can you remember when Jesus saw his disciples them you know get into the boat and go to the other side they get into the boat and here comes a great storm of that comes up and all they think obviously they're going to die and Jesus Jesus in the back of the bow sleep so they go to the back of boat wake them up said master those who care that we perish Jesus wake up from his sleep he rebukes the wind in the rain and he turns to the disciple and said to him why are you so fearful and how is it that you have no faith remember God put the face of God on the inside of him but by the time it gets here they're being moved by the wind in the rain and what they can see and you he's telling himself we're gonna die itself I said you're right we're going to duck he forgot God said go to the other side in his spirit go to the other side is in there but he's being moved by what he see and he's telling him you going God God says how is this is why are you so fearful and how is it that you have no say because by the time it filters through here your mind what God has for you your soul is the control center of your life you're either going to obey God and receive what God has for you or you want to obey what you see now again we just define faith then that's the finest forget it from the amplified it really amplifies it now faith is the assurance it is the confirmation it is the title deed of what we hope for it becomes the proof of something I cannot even see don't need to see it I got proof that what God says exists because I can see beyond what I can see and it is the conviction of this reality here's a part you're not convinced you're not convinced that what God is said is so is that faith is conviction I am convinced that what God is said is so even though I can't see it I don't look like who God says I am Brian convinced that I am who God said I am I can do what God says I can do I can have what God says I can I am a child of God I am a son of the Living God it don't look like what I gonna be like but when you keep looking at me you don't see although it's incarnate and so you need to be convinced faith perceived as real fact what has not been revealed to my senses I can see it I can taste it I can't touch it I can't smell it but faith perceived as is real even though I can't see so the more I put the Word of God on the inside of me it begins to do with Romans tells us in verse Romans 12 and 2 it says no be not conformed to this world but be transformed how bothering doing I'm sorry by the renewing of your mind so that you can prove faith is the proof of that you can prove for yourself he already knows you can prove for yourself what is it good and acceptable and the perfect will of God for my life and so my mind has to be renewed so that I can be transformed and when your mind is renewed you will be transformed listen to me he's already transformed he got born again he's born again of God's Spirit when I renew my mind I will see a transformation the manifestation of my life will be different than what I've been seeing are you hearing me and so as a man thinketh so will I be hallelujah and so God wants us to be transformed you know what it means to be transformed it means to be what some I said change is necessary if I want to see something new shank is very necessary and change starts with the way you think you can't listen you can't just want to be changed or want something new if you're not willing to change the way you think you want something new but if you don't think differently you're going to go right back to the way you used to be you're going to end up doing what you used to do but when you renew your mind to what God has to say to you and you take on what God has to say to you you're going to get some different results in your life you will be transformed and transformation through transformation means that I am so changed that you can't tell what I used to be hallelujah glory to God and so it's not like am i painting that did I really change no when I am trying if I had to tell you what I used to be you wouldn't believe it because I've been transformed and so transformation face like that it changes you that you can no longer tell what you used to be it's like all y'all know it's like that caterpillar turning into a butterfly he's been transformed he been metamorphosed he'd been transformed from a caterpillar to a butterfly and the one thing about that butterfly it can no longer ever be a caterpillar ever again hallelujah and so God he puts its face on the inside of you and it gives you faith for the grace of God that is on your life we're discovering the graces the favors the charisma of God things placed on our lives and he's given us faith for those and so as you continue to walk with God you discover that it begins to change the way you think and so you go from a place where it looks like you don't have any faith because you don't receive what God is saying to you here this is the control sting of your life has nothing to do with your spirit your spirit receive everything that God says your spirit man is baby is leaping in his room tonight discovering who you are and then the enemy will come to you and tell you that ain't you you know you still sick you still broke I hear them say that but you ain't prospering it doesn't work from you why cuz you're maude has not been renewed when your mind is renewed it'll change the outcome of your life hear me he said be careful what you think your thoughts are controlling your life they control the outcome of your life you have got to change the way you think and the only way you can change the way you think to do something different is you got to get the Word of God you got to get into the heart of God and find out what God has for you that your eyes at Knox and God what is that your ears if not her what's that it has not entered my heart what do you have for me God and discover it through the Word of God change the way you think and watch the outcome of your life things would be so different how do how do I do that Joshua winning aces he said if you would meditate on this word how often that's too much times has today I stuff to do you say if you have meditate I mean I got to work I got kids I got a job I got stuff to do I can't meditate day if you would meditate on that word day and night are you hearing me day and night meditate on the Word of God it means to speak it out loud it means to say it means a ponder it means to think about it if you do it day and night then you will make your way you will make your way prosperous and you are guaranteed good success guarantee good success but you got to meditate day and hallelujah that means you put the Word of God in your eyes sites all the time remember you created to be a reflection you're reflecting within your eye game if you're reflecting what the doctors of somebody else has said to you that's the outcome of your life because this is the control center of your life this is what is controlling your life and so if you get what God has to say about your life and you hear what God has to say and you renew your mind to what God is going to say in your life then you're going to have some different results in your life but you've got to meditate that word day and night I like to use this word Medicaid if you have Medicaid on the word I really mean if you were sincerely Medicaid on the word why do I use the word Medicaid because when you have a doctor's report they give you medication and they tell you take this pill every four hours until it's all gone and even if you feel better keep taking it and you don't like the way you're feeling you don't like the results of May of hats on the test and so every flowers without fail you will take that field and you will even have somebody your phone tablet somebody remind you to take your appeal every four hours what would happen if you meditate on the word every four hours just think about that if you would just meditate on the Word of God like you take medicine you know you have some medicine that is time relief you take it now it'll work a little bit but it's a kick in even more later I'm telling you God has a Kairos moment for every word that you put on the inside of you hallelujah you're feeding on it now let's go kick in next week when you need it some babies that words will come back up at you and bring forth the promise that God has made for you so you've got to learn how to medicate in the Word of God take the word in your heart it'll change the way you think consequently will change your viewpoint of who you think you are who the world has said you and it would take all the limitations off your life and you'll find yourself walking in God's perfect plan and will for your life and you'll begin to declare some things out of your mouth and to see what God is said to you come to pass in your life you are powerful being remember you move things in the spirit with the words of your mouth but how many know it doesn't happen if your minds not renewed you can't say well that sound good let me try that let me see fast as that if that work let's see what I want no you got listen you're going to have what you say when you have what you say you got to put it down on the inside of you so you can have think you have what you say so when you meditate on the word you'll begin to see things and you're open to what God the changes in anything that God wants to say in your life to see the things that God's promised you in your life things will happen for you in the life can I share a couple of testimonies with you and then I'm really closing this time for real I don't even know how long I've been preaching phrase I think my time is up calling me it's just less because this young lady just told me this testimony this Saturday I think was Saturday Sunday and there was a young lady at our church that was living in the shelter her and her family her husband her children they were all living in the shelter and she was working she finally got a job at the sporting goods company and so she went to work and she was very happy that she had a job and she's always smiling witnessing the people in her job and just so grateful so thankful and then it was a man that came to her job and he started working and they gave her the assignment of training him on the job and so she begins to train him and she's talking to him every day and she's smiling and laughing each day there one day why are you so happy and she said because you know the Lord Jesus Christ is in my life and you know he's been good to me and he and he just asked her more questions about herself just getting to know her and she's training him and she's talking about asking him questions on his life in his family and then she mentioned to him one day that she lived in a shelter and he says I cannot believe you live in a shelter and you are this happy she says I live in a shelter but the shelters not in me God has something better for me I know that God has something for me and I'm just excited about what God is doing I cannot believe you were this happy and on top of all that you're living in a shelter that - and you're this that happy she said I told you the shelter I live in the shelter but the shelters not in me it's not my god it's not the boundaries of my life God has so much for me and so she goes on and she's training this guy and then the weeks and a month go by and after his training she she realized or it was unfolded that she was on Undercover Boss and he was so so impressed with her he was so impressed for her he get they bought and gave her a house glory to God hallelujah that's the testimony let me rewind the sake obsolete because we've been teaching on having what you're saying and renewing your mind and doing the Word of God and doing what God is calling you to do she said she was here this week after week constantly I hear you talk about tithing and giving and I wasn't doing that and when I got the job I decided I didn't care if I lived in the shelter I'm not saving no money for a house I'm going to tide on my honor god i'ma do what God it says and she said I don't care you know I know that guy has something for me so I started obeying God and giving and tithing and giving and that's when he gave her a house okay so that happened a few years ago this comes this this Saturday she said I simply remember the house I said yeah I remember the house that was a blessing powerful testimony they had given her the money to buy whatever how she wanted and so she bought this house and she realized several years later she said I've had so much trouble with this house she said it's a plumbing electricity of something is always going wrong and then she said one of the neighbors came to me and said yeah that's why other people that lived and they moved and she was like what and so she like I wonder if it's too late for me to do anything I've been living house like three years like there's anything I can do so she called an attorney and they said they would take her case and and they went to Mexico filed a complaint against the Builder of the house and all the things that were going wrong with the house and so they would say they would take her case and then the Builder wanted to settle with her out of court and so they said we would give you X amount of money you've been in house three years we give you X amount of money and in Lord said Sara don't take it he says I'm going to give you more than what they taken from you so she told her attorney says no I'm not gonna step out of court he said this is good they giving you a whole lot of money for this house she said that's not what I paid for that's less than what I paid for the house and gonna give me more than what I paid for the house I'm telling you when you hear from God it doesn't make sense in the natural anybody else would have said just take the money and go get you another house she says no and so she said she started to get rid of the attorney and then she thought no I'm not going to get rid of him because God's kids going to see God so I'm going to keep him he didn't have no faith didn't believe that I will get anything didn't believe it worked for me I would lose out everything but I'm told him you want to see God work and you're going to see God do this and so they came back to her after series of events they came back there and if they were ready to settle and so she said how much and they gave her more than what she paid for the house hallelujah and her attorney was like I can't believe they did that that I told you what God and what God would do I'm telling you when you just renew your mind know who you are you know who you are and what God can do for you you see God move in a way that you never expect because you have an anticipation of just the word that you say out of your mouth it's so impossible last testimony I promise I'm taking my seat but this is so powerful I use it all the time myself because it's young lady she again people hear us when we preach to you nothing like how do you hear myself sometimes they put my own table she's ever had specific you know that slamming talking about who you are and having what you say is and who we are and she says you know I the Lord spoke to me and told me to come off my job and to do some things at home with my family and so you know I was believing God to be able to pay for everything and you know we've been doing it we've been just praying God but we had this one bill this $18,000 debt and she said that they were calling me and calling me and calling me about paying off this debt and I got tired and call sometime any answer the phone and I was like god what do I do with this I don't have the money for this eighteen thousand dollar debt and God began to speak to her to speak to it so she said she spoke to that debt and she said pay yourself off I mean she's like pay yourself up oksanen pay yourself own and so the lord the next day the lord said look up look up your credit score she looked at four credit score and it was no longer worthy and so she was like wait baby is no longer on there and then they called her on the phone this time she answered the phone and see they said we want to talk to you about paying off your eighteen thousand dollar debt making up a plane mcplantz you say what eighteen thousand dollars that I don't have an $18,000 debt it's not on my credit score I don't owe you anything and they say oh we didn't know that she said yeah and I want that in writing so they send her a letter fancy owe them nothing glory could God hallelujah and so she was really excited vanishes of a path and Cynthia we were three months behind and our mortgage and so she said you know I've been speaking to that mortgage and I've been speaking to that and I said god I know you told me to come home and I know you don't want us like this is I don't know where we gonna get the money from but I'm believing God we had to pay itself off and then she gets a check in the mail from the bank that owns her own a check in the mail from the bank of the mortgage company and they give her a check for the exact amount of money that she owes so she like bewildered so she calls him and say hey you just sent me a check why did you send me a check for three months mortgage and I only three months mortgage and they said just sign the back of the check and you always nothing hallelujah glory to God I have some more testimony to but hear how powerful it is that you and I we move things in
