Speed Of Light 2 It's Relative TO Relationship

Church will you join me in welcoming everybody all over the planet earth to open door Church in big time Burleson Texas boom outstanding phrase if you would please open up your Bibles to the book of Ephesians Ephesians that encouragement book Ron man I love the book of Ephesians Ephesians chapter 5 is where you're gonna be turning in let me just rehash from part one of speed of light part one of speed of light I was talking about how light overcomes darkness and we went through the Genesis story last week and the three things that we ended on is this that whenever light shows up it shows up in two places that is without form and the Bible says in the beginning God created uh you know what all it says right I'm about to I'm about to just start rehashing all of that and I don't want to do that but it but it goes on to say that the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep and it was a whole bunch of things on the bottom line is that that when light shows up he would show up in places that are without form so if you have any place in your life that is all messed up if you have any place in your life that is that is full of disorder in chaos what you need is light you need the light of the manifest presence of Jesus to arrive you need the light of the Word of God to arrive okay and then after that we discovered that he shows up in places that are void what is void it means where there ought to be life there is no life it means where there should be something wonderful there is nothing wonderful if you have places in your life that are lifeless what you need is the light to show up there the answer to places that are void is light and light shows up as life in those places and then we and then we discussed the importance of understanding the difference between darkness and light darkness is merely the absence of light there's never been anybody who has turned on the darkness and light ran away but what you do is you turn on the light so that darkness runs away right so darkness is no match for light everybody say that with me are you ready darkness is no match for light it's a big deal that needs to be a part of your everyday thinking well you know what all hell is breaking loose well darkness is no match for life well you know I just got a bad report from the doctor well darkness is no match for light well my kids are losing their minds well they were never smart anyway and darkness is no match for lights and this whole thing where we freaked out whenever darkness shows up is ridiculous all we have to do to run off darkness is turn on the light amen okay so guys we're in the book of Ephesians Ephesians chapter five verses eight through 14 it says for you or once darkness wait it doesn't say for you were once in darkness it says you were once darkness you were once a carrier of darkness you were once a product of darkness you were once a participant with darkness but now you are light in the Lord walk then as children of light for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness righteousness and truth I want to just stop and just say this that if you want the fruit of the Holy Spirit to show up you have to have goodness righteousness and truth you got to give them something to work with but that's next week's sermon so let's keep going before my hair goes crazy finding out what is acceptable to the Lord and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather expose them for it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret but all things that are exposed are made manifest by light for whatever makes manifest is light therefore he says awake you who sleep arise from the dead and Christ will give you light one of the one of the key things that I want to focus on and again this is not this week's message this is next week's message but I want to give you a whole week to think about it before I get off into it is light maketh manifests that what light does is light brings manifest now there's all different kinds of ways to look at that but light is literally the manifest presence of Jesus not not the omnipresence of Jesus but the on me presence of Jesus okay we know that God is everywhere but God has not made manifest everywhere amen we know that God is in you we know that God is in Uganda but God has not made manifest in every part of Uganda that's why he needs children of light to get up and to maketh manifest right at the heart of God is to save girls out of sight so trafficking then light maketh manifest at the heart of God is to bring an orphan and no longer call him an orphan but give him a name and a home in a house then we have to make that manifest how do we make it manifest we bring God into that how do we bring God into that by doing the kingdom stuff right and as children of light this is what we do now his children of darkness we did the other we brought darkness into everything even when we weren't intentionally doing that we still brought darkness with us but now as children of light we have to intentionally bring light into every single part of it another big another big focus that I'm gonna make next week that again I just want you to think about this and pray about that too this week is when the Bible says when the Bible says that that we should have no unfruitful works or I'm sorry that we should have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness it literally means this if you are a child of light do not partner with darkness and I think that one of the biggest ways that the devil comes into our life to wreck our lives is to look and see where are we ignorant and we think we are supposed to partner with darkness like what do you mean so you just don't know that you have a choice you think that you have to partner with it and you do not have to partner with it well I had a friend of mine and my friend killed themselves okay you know what there's probably not a single person in this room that hasn't been touched by some form of suicide and here's what I here's what I'm going to tell you with that what I'll tell you this is I will not partner with unfruitful works of darkness concerning that like what are you talking about I'm talking about this like somebody says somebody tells me well those people just automatically have to go to hell number one that's baloney you don't know that and you don't know what's going on in their heart Jesus Christ knows what's going on in their heart I'm not condoning killing yourself I'm telling you that's not what I'm saying and what I'm saying is this do not partner with unfruitful works of darkness that's what I'm saying you know Bible says as Sampson is in the Hall of Fame of face in the Hall of Fame of faith and he offed himself explain that Oh see some of y'all did not like that what I just said what I'm saying is this do not partner with unfruitful works of darkness well you know what if you were molested as a child then that means that you have to become a pedophile no it doesn't unless you partner with unfruitful works of darkness unless you have fellowship with it you know pastor Troy I just can't help but think about this and I can't help but think about that I want to just challenge that and tell you this if you're having a bad thought change your thought you just have another one but what if what if you've been rejected what if you've been through horrible things what if you made horrible choices what if you brought shame into your life what if you've what if you disappointed a lot of people what if you didn't let that define you and what if you said God says I'm holy and you start living according to that and you start having fellowship with with with light instead of darkness right so I'm gonna I'm gonna talk to you about that a whole lot in detail next week but I want to go ahead and just spring it on you right now and give you a homework assignment for the week and say go through Ephesians five and read Ephesians five before next Sunday okay all right one of the things I like to talk to I like to talk to people a whole lot about is numbers in Scripture I love numbers in scripture I love number one I love prophetic things in anything that's prophetic I just tend to love I love how prophecy works I love trying to live a prophetic lifestyle I love hearing God's speak because I have a huge value for the voice of the Lord amen and so as someone who has a tremendous value for the voice of the Lord I want to know when God is speaking and just because God is speaking doesn't mean that you know it amen you have to learn you have to learn and you have to be dedicated and you have to be committed so I learned a long time ago that one of the one of the ways that God loves to speak is through numbers and I learned that a long long long time ago and I'm not talking about numerology there's no power in numbers whatsoever you can live at 1313 Mockingbird Lane and still be a drop dead so doubt Jesus Freak you can also be Herman Munster but that's gonna be up to you amen so numbers do not get to define your life whatsoever and you can have all kinds of numbers fall upon you and it doesn't mean anything unless it is God Almighty speaking to you and then it means something are you guys tracking with me on that so I love hearing God speak we know that through the number 12 God speaks perfect government through the number 13 God likes to speak about rebellion through the number 14 God likes to speak generational promises through 15 he talks about times of consecration through 16 he likes to talk about the love of God 17 he talks about overcoming victory right the number 18 and then in the negative he likes to talk about bondage and a positive he likes to talk about he likes to talk about life I don't know if you guys know it but the word life in Hebrew is also the number 18 it's a very common symbol that Jewish people wear around their neck to life to life like I am right what you gotta go right in the middle of it like you're from Itasca all right so so so they do this thing and then 19 represents extreme faith or extraordinary faith and then and then the number 20 means expectancy it means you know what I'm serving God even though I'm not seeing it happen I'm serving God in this until I see it happen okay a lot of times we'll say well I'm waiting on God and you're doing nothing that's not that does not mean that you're waiting on God that means that means you have checked out and that might be okay with your really cool little religious circle what are you doing well we're waiting on God and we're still sitting in our pews and our butts have formed what the pews look like now and we're gonna call that waiting on God no no no no no that's called sitting on your honey that's what that is if you're waiting on God you are actively serving God in something expecting for God Almighty to give you the victory in that if you're believing that God Almighty if you're like okay God told me I'm going on a missions trip are you waiting on the Lord like yes where's your passport oh I haven't got that yet well then you're not waiting on God but wait on God means to actively serve knowing that God Almighty is going to make it happen so you go get your passport before you even know what country you're going to if you hear God Almighty speak to you saying that you're going on a missions trip dude get your passport amen get your shots oh no brother Troy I'm gonna wait oh god okay I understand man man you gotta go get like 2,000 shots to go to India amen so I know I know what I'm talking about my arm didn't work for a week after that anyway number 21 is a number I find very interesting I think number 21 has something to do a turning to the father one of the ways that that you turn to the Lord is you have to decide from the second that you wake up in the morning that you're going to set an atmosphere in your heart and in your mind that the Holy Spirit is compatible with and then you just do that all time that's why man if you just you know then you pray in the Holy Spirit man you learn how to just call out to God where's you're driving down the road if you're thinking bad things you're like whoa oh oh oh god you don't have anything to do with these thoughts I repent you're like well I didn't think it on purpose it doesn't matter you have to turn away from it that's what that's what repinning is repenting is not feeling condemned over something repenting is going no I'm not going to do that anymore amen I love repentance I love the power of repentance and gifts go Holy Spirit please you know show up in my mind and by the way I know there's a bunch of junk in there now if you don't believe that God has mercy on you you're never going to invite him into your life you have to believe that he actually wants to be involved in your life you know if you know one of my grandkids any of my grandkids I have seven grandkids now and they're all rock stars I promise they are last not Barrett spent the night with me and Barrett in the middle of night last night right before we were gonna go to sleep he started telling me something that's very personal to him as a as a six year old and it just has to do with how he plays with his friends at school and what he thinks people think about him and what he thinks about everybody and he just really opened up in a really cool way and I said you know what I told him I said Barrett we're always gonna have different kinds of feelings about different kind of people but if you ask the Holy Spirit to come into your heart in a brand-new way you know what he can help us with our feelings and he said any time he said Papa I've already asked Jesus into my heart and I said I'm so glad you have that means that you're saved but now let's just just keep asking to come in and keep not because not because we're not saved but because we need more and more and more of him to be able to teach a child from the time that they're little of it doesn't stop at Salvation it starts at Salvation amen and that's why man we got to make sure we get it we're saved okay I'm saved it's here I'm saying I'm not gonna worry about being saved me more I am gonna say I need to be filled up again amen I'm gonna do that but you know what guys the word frankincense occurs in the Bible twenty-one times and frankincense has to do with setting up an atmosphere okay it has to do with turning to the Lord it has to do with you know there's three main areas and I need to preach on this sometime but this I'm writing a book right now in one of my books I'm going off on how do you set up an atmosphere and there's three different areas I'll just give this to you for free are you guys ready one is environment everybody say environment the second one is atmosphere and the third one is culture so environment is the physical place okay the atmosphere has to do with the spirit of the house right and then the culture has to do with how you relate to each other how the people relate and like well I don't understand why God won't show up in my house well because your environment looks like hell your atmosphere feels like hell and how you relate with each other it's just like hell now I'm talking about church amen walk into an environment where everything is pitch white and is institutional and then say we're going to be a relational people right mandate we all get together as a family in the atmosphere of the houses don't mess up don't mess up don't raise your hands somebody ain't gonna like that don't mess up don't mess up and you think God's gonna move in that God done moving that hell moves in that and then the culture of how we deal with each other is if I don't agree with you I'm gonna shame you if I see you doing something that I think is out of line I'm gonna shame you that's not how heaven operates that's how he'll that's how hell operates and it's how a lot of churches operates so I don't understand why there's no miracles here well because you have the environment of Hell in the atmosphere of Hell and you have a culture of Hell and you have freken you and you're expecting the fruit of the Holy Spirit to show up in that and that's not now it works okay second Timothy chapter 3 the Apostle Paul writes of 21 sins which show the exceeding wickedness of self and sin he goes through 21 of those things including men will love pleasure they were reject love in God they'll look on the on the outside as being godly but on the inside they denied God's power and then it does not say this therefore thou shalt shame them no no no no it says this from such turn away you need to decide right now that's not how I'm gonna live my life you don't make it your business to point that out in everybody's life as religious people do go around seeing a devil in everybody and everything what good is it for you to go around pointing out the devil it does no good whatsoever listen you're not supposed to be an expert at pointing out the devil you're supposed to be an expert at bringing the kingdom amen amen amen amen okay so there's 21 of those then guys we get to the number 22 and 22 means light it's the number for light now as there are 22 letters in a Hebrew alphabet you know the light of the word of God amen you guys tracking with me on that there's 22 chapters of the book of revelation revelation is the light is when the veil comes off you go Tara right that's 22 right God created 22 things in the six days of creation light is used 22 times in a Gospel of John and then the 22nd time the word light shows up in the Gospel of John is John 12:46 it says this I have come as a light into the world you know if you bust out a Bible and if you count 22 letters in Hebrew the twenty-second letter is light like it's like there's a deck don't design there is amen now I'm gonna throw you for a little bit of a loop and tell you this that if you count 186 words 186 words if you count 22 words I think I said letters and I didn't mean to do that if you count 22 words the twenty second word is light if you count 186 words that word is also light you're like well what does that have to do with 20 to nothing except for the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second and apparently the Bible knew that before mankind knew that Wow okay so let's talk about the speed of light let's get off into this thing y'all don't be scared okay now earlier doing the first service when I was preaching there sometime I this is like the real smart part of my sermon my hair stood up on his age I look like a quail the whole time I was preaching so I'm believing I'm not that that's not gonna happen this time I want you guys to track with me okay because this is a big deal y'all this is a big deal there's a such a thing that's called the speed of light and it is the ultimate stop sign like well I thought was the ultimate go go go no it's the ultimate this is as far as you can go and is 186,000 miles per second now remember guys we're talking about light and we're talking about what light has to do with us so let's just talk about natural light let's see if it applies to our hearts okay so the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second and it is as fast as anything can possibly go because light has no mass so there's not anything else that can go any faster than light because everything else has mass and light does not have mess even if you don't understand a single word I'm saying everybody say Amen and just sound act like you know that's what I do that's what we all do we just act like we a min okay I'm in okay so it's real simple light just goes boom and it goes out because it doesn't have any mass it doesn't have any substance so therefore anything that does have mass cannot move anything further than that and then you can find out how fast can the fastest thing move by finding out how fast light is and we have found out it travels at 186,000 miles per second not an hour guys the world is 24,000 miles around but we're talking about 186,000 miles per second and just in case if you're like Menna why it just seems to me that the that the Sun is really close it takes light eight minutes to get from the Sun to us if you go outside and look at the Sun you're looking at the Sun eight minutes ago you're not looking at it right now so if it just blew up you're not gonna know it for another eight minutes okay like that's how far away our Sun is now see I like this kind of stuff this stuff is fun to me like many of you guys like what you shut up and preach the gospel I am if you have an ear to hear it amen so just track with me I know this is crazy but this is fun fun fun stuff now there was a guy that lived several hundred years ago by the name of Sir Isaac Newton and I'm a big fan of Sir Isaac Newton I've had the great privilege of being in London 40 or 60 times in my life and I hardly ever go to London that I do not go to the Royal Observatory because I'm a huge fan of Sir Isaac Newton and I have studied him and studied him and studied him and I love the stuff that he studies I love his mind and I loved how he loved the Lord right I've been his grave several times at Westminster Abbey and it's amazing thing to see the grave of Sir Isaac Newton because it is so beautiful and it is so ornate and there's angels and he's buried up high in this wall and then if you look down on the ground it says Darwin right you literally it's like there's nothing there it just says Charles Darwin like wow how about them apples okay so Sir Isaac Newton came up with the theory that he called the theory of mechanics and the theory of mechanics is this we need to learn how things work because there's a certain order of how things work and if you understand how things work then you understand why there are certain outcomes that always happen okay and he called it the theory of mechanics now later on there was a guy by the name of Einstein who changed the theory of mechanics into something called the theory of relativity and you guys know about Albert Einstein and he's pretty smart dude right on and he's a really cool guy he's a guy who came up with the statement of time is God's Way of keeping everything from happening at once right and I love that if you were here when I preached on that I actually actually stole that from him right okay so Einstein came up with ok the theory of mechanics that Sir Isaac Newton called he actually said I'm gonna call that the theory of relativity this is how things work in just relationship ok and relative to anything this is how things work just things work like this if you fall off a cliff you're going to hit the bottom of the cliff there's a way that that works ok if you know I don't know you move water from here to there it's gonna take so much time there just a way things work all right the theory of mechanics are the theory of relativity but this brother came up with something else that is called the theory of special Relativity so he says so this is what on sun said well there's a way things work but then there's a way things work when things are in relation to ship to each other that's different from how things work when they are not in relationship to each other okay so what does that mean works like this we know that speed of light is 186,000 miles per second but since that number is too big let's just call it one mile an hour okay now I'm on a train traveling at one mile an hour and I take a flashlight and I shine the light forward on the train my speed of light is only one mile an hour but if I'm off the train and you pass me by I can clock the speed of light at two miles an hour mmm no okay okay so let's let's do it this way okay speed of light is say 10 miles an hour okay you're in a car okay you turn on your headlights and I ask you how much is the speed of light you'll say oh I can clock it it's exactly 186,000 miles an hour oh I'm sorry exactly 10 miles an hour right but you passed me I clock it and it is however fast you're going plus the speed of light so what that means is the mechanics of how it works is 186,000 miles 186,000 miles per second but when it comes in a relationship with me and if you're moving and I'm not it changes okay this is how the universe works because you have a Redeemer in heaven that says there's a way that things work and one of the ways that things work is this if you see and you die but he designs things like this but if you come in relationship with me then the rules are different for you if you this all has to do with the light and it has to do with how the universe is made and it has to do with the heart of God Almighty there's a way that things are going to work and they turn out that way every single time unless you come into relationship with God and then the rules are different for you and things turn out differently so the ultimate Stephen the ultimate speed limit of the you verse is the same no matter what until it becomes in relationship with something else and then it actually changes well God did that to show us this there's a way that you can rage against the machine now one of my favorite folk heroes anywhere in America is John Henry John Henry is this guy he comes against the machine and he comes against how the machine works and he says I can beat the machine right you guys know the story of John Henry right I love its heart I love how it gets up there and he says I can beat the machine well guys there's something in all of us that wants to beat the Machine the mechanics that Sir Isaac Newton talked about the way that things work why because the machine is everything that a human being has to deal with in life the machine is the system the economic the cultural the national the social the religious structures that all of us live in the machine is cause and effect the machine is you reap what you sow the machine is an eye for an eye the machine is for every action there is a reaction the machine is the system of checks and balances that say we have to have order so if this happens this is going to happen every single time but what's real is we hate the machine we all love order but we hate the fact that we can't stay in order so if the enemy can get you to live according to the machine he will eventually kill you with the machine blind mechanical impartial it cannot be bargained with it cannot be reasoned with it doesn't feel pity it doesn't feel remorse or fear it absolutely will not stop ever until you are dead the machine is a terminator the machine says that if you're poor you can't live life like other people the machine says if you're a minority you can never have opportunity the machine says that if you made bad grades you can never further your education the machine says that if you that if you have ever been incarcerated then everybody is always going to see you as a convict the machine says that if your father was an alcoholic then you too will also be an alcoholic the machine says that if you were molested as a child that you will become a pedophile the gene says that if you're above if you're above the age of 40 nobody's ever going to hire you machine says that if you don't have insurance you cannot get healthcare the machine says that if you've made bad mistakes it's way too late the Machine says that if you live in a bad neighborhood your kids are going to do drugs and the Machine when you fight the machine on the machines terms you lose every single time and this is the law of relativity however there's the law of special relativity and just like the speed of light there are principles of mechanics that say this is how things work all the time until you become in a relationship with something much more powerful it's actually real simple everything is moving relative to everything else general general relativity and the other is called special relativity because it applies only in two special cases relationship Trump's the machine relationship Trump's the machine I'm gonna say this again relationship Trump's the machine what I'm saying this is this if you're a minority god almighty can set you up in the right place at the right time and you can go further than anybody who isn't a minority because you are in relationship with him if you were once convicted of a crime and now you're out of prison if you'll come in a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ where there was once shame now there's gonna be honor and God Almighty will be happy to set you up see what you need is you need light in your life you need light in your life that's what you need the dark is no match for light I'm going to say it again the dark is no match for light and maybe you've got a whole bunch of terminators after you that says because you did this and because you did that you know this has to happen that's true unless you come into relationship with the one who Trump's all that and he is the light of the world and his name is Jesus this give Jesus a great big praise hallelujah
