problem to have guys our outreaches have gone through the roof our food bank has gone through the roof we are now doing a huge outreach in Tel Aviv Israel and feeding all of our Jewish brothers and sisters and I love Israel I know that you guys love Israel too and I don't have a Jewish bonhomie I tell everybody I said only Jew I've got in me as King Jesus all right I've done the DNA check I knew it was gonna spike I was like I told you I was Jewish no no epic fell nothing but a bunch of French people I don't even want to talk about it it's just anyway bottom line is in the midst of having French in England and in France in England and a bunch of Italian in me what's really as man do you have the Spirit of the Lord in me and I'm just I'm just so grateful for anything that we can do to help Israel I always want to be a part of that amen amen amen amen okay and so this over the past couple of weeks there have been so much craziness that has happened can I can I just share you one crazy thing start off with it's very important man that we all hear God speak you guys agree with that right and I want to tell you something supernatural that happened this week and you might not think it was supernatural but I know that it was the Lord I was going down we're building a little fence in my backyard and meats I need some cedar trees cut to make this little fence it's no big does just to cover up something and I thought well man I'm gonna go down to my secret place in the woods and I'm gonna clear out a bigger place a little bit bigger place I can't tell the guy who works for me because he'll go down there he thinks he's Paul Bunyan and likes to cut down every tree on my property so I can't tell him I want that done I'll just sneak off down there and do that myself right so I go down there and I carry this thing down there and I start to go down this path there's this big cliff you got to go down and I call it a big cliff but it's it's pretty steep cliff and it's got all these rock places and I was just about to walk down I'm real happy dude to do and all of a sudden I heard God speak and he said Troy look there's a snake and I stopped and I thought that was God and I just started looking laying down the trail like him do his snake down there there's snake down there just snake down there is the one there no-nothing up but there's one there I want to show you guys a picture of it because I busted out my phone that's a diamondback rattlesnake that's a diamondback rattlesnake and this listen I was wearing shorts and by god y'all shoulda saw my legs it looked like the glory of God I'm a widest brother you ever saw in your life and I'm trying to fix that man it's bad and so anyway man I I I was like I was wearing I was wearing kind of like Daisy Duke shorts no I wasn't I was wearing shorts like this I did not have on boots I just had on like you know sandals and I literally the next step so the first thing I did was I busted out my phone and got out my phone and I took a picture of catchin gingka change put it back in my pocket that I pulled out my 9 millimeter and I went I took those Cacique and all nine shots right and it was jumping around like a Mexican jumping bean it was just doing this cuz you know the dirt and I was like man I'm a bad motor scooter I only hit him twice my kids made so much fun of me dad it sounded like you know the assassination of Bonnie and Clyde that down there and you only hit this thing twice I'm like shut up I hit it that's what matters a lot of cool things have happened this week one of the cool things that happened was our friends in Uganda have been contacting us we have over the past eight weeks past ten weeks not only have we not fallen back on all of our Czech stores that were sending to all the girls that we send out sexual trafficking all of our kids that we've saved out of uncertain horror but I just tell you this man we have stepped it up and we've actually been able to send an extra hundred and fifty thousand dollars in the past eight weeks listen I'm not telling you that oh yeah I'm a nurse staff right there yes shoeless Steph all right now look at look at was Shoeless staff right on so I know that baby right there so you guys know surely goodness and mercy should follow us all the days of our life right you know it's a goodness of mercy we're five months old they only wait five pounds they were starving to death to the the day that Liana literally found them and those are some of the fattest babies you ever saw in your life if they're gonna be Brewers they got to be fat babies right on and they are Brewers now but anyway we we have been stepping up and we've been doing so many things and what's happened is we've also been responding to tons and tons of crisis since there is not a any kind of economy and Uganda you know things are really difficult here and they are and I'm not gonna say that they're not because they are but it's a different world in a lot of third-world countries when how do I go off into it but it's just difficult and now it's especially difficult so this is because you and I have a village there we bought 20 acres some 20 to 23 years ago and then it turned into 40 acres 100 acres I built an entire village we have a school that has over 600 kids in it we haven't we have we have two water wells we have a medical clinic we have a church we have so much stuff there it's just remarkable and this is what we've decided to do instead of dependent upon so much produce to come in from from Kampala which is which is a considerable journey we're tired of messing with it we're tired of there always being a shortage so we're just going to go to some additional land and we're going to have hundreds and hundreds of people and we're going to employ them and we're going to put them to work and we're going to farm our own fields and we're sending we're listen you and I as part of the offering today you and I are gonna buy them two brand new tractors two big ol monster tractors and we're gonna do that and that's gonna be part of the offering today I'm jazzed about that here locally guys this week we did a food outreach of walnut Springs Texas yesterday and we blessed so many families and guys is just so important to be consistent and it's so important to be somebody who is just faithful and we're always there for them and we were we also did a food outreach in Cleveland Texas at the minor league baseball team a stadium there yesterday and the porns down rain out there at the depot guys there were so many people that was handing out Jesus I think that the totals over the weekend just over the weekend just yesterday and one day we gave over a hundred and fifty thousand pounds of food to over 600 families yesterday just in one day it's remarkable unless a man wheat and a food business we're in a Jesus business some business is good and people are having hope and people are being blessed and like thank you for not attaching any strings to that why would we attach any strings to that right on we're not going to know no strings attached to just do it because it's who Jesus is and it's who we want to be to people someone asked you guys stand up if you would please another really cool thing guys that we get to do is a lot of people give me their cars and like what do you talk about but you know guys we just have a really big tribe and everybody knows that we have everybody knows that we help people and the bottom line is so many times people say hey man I got this car and I'm gonna fix it up and give it to you do you know a family to give it away to you and always say yep I know exactly who to give that way to and this last week guys there's a single mama and we were able to get with her and minister her love on her and we were able to give her her we were able to give her a brand-new car once you guys to look at this man check this out how cool is that you go girl there you go man 100% paid for works like a charm hey listen if you're gonna give something away you do not give them junk you know that right Baxter Troy here's my old drawers be sure your hand that off to somebody man and that off to yourself hey men anyway man I'm super super grateful for whoever I don't even know who gave us that car and I don't even know the girl we gave it to you I just know that that's what Jesus looks like amen okay so listen I'm gonna pray over the offering I'm gonna pray over the offering father God sir thank you God that during this time of worldwide famine God the land of goshen has been upon

people watching us on Wednesday night to over 45,000 people watching us on Wednesday nights and that's happening real quick and so you know what part of that is the consistency of the worship pastor

there now let me tell you what's gonna happen I'm gonna start preaching it's going to be awesome and you're gonna think I forgot about 2nd single chapter 9 that's what you're gonna think but no everything I do is planned I so pray for me that I don't forget that we're going to 2nd Samuel chapter 9 okay because it's one of the greatest pictures of what Redemption and grace looks like through the whole Word of God and we're gonna get to it because it's the way that things should look around here for for you and I I'm gonna start off here today by telling you that this year in the month of August we are celebrating our 30th year of the open door Food Bank 30 years right on and then in the month of September we're celebrating our 25th anniversary of open door church all right so we got a lot of celebrating to do and I love me some celebrating right on you know when the Bible talks about Hell it says everybody enters in with wailing and gnashing of teeth you know what wailing is right it means griping and complaining gnashing of teeth means talking bad about people listen guys church ought to look a whole lot more like heaven then it looks like hell amen no wailing and gnashing of teeth I'm not talking about Waylon and Willie I'm talking about wailing you know Ryan I know no griping and complaining and no talking bad about people that's not what heaven looks like so we love celebration we have a huge value for celebrating you know I have people tell me all the time you know you don't have to be funny all the time you obviously do not know me because I do as a matter of fact I just can't help it and see that's what you do if you're not very smart you got to be extra funny that's what you got to do so guys we're celebrating 25 years of church we're celebrating 30 years the food ministry and the amazing and marvelous miracles that King Jesus has done throughout the decades with us and through us and for us and guys just because I just think of so many upgrades and so many changes that have taken place and I can I can remember big when we finally got chairs okay I remember the week that the truck pulled up and we opened at the back of the truck and there was chairs like what you guys have it was our fourth year we like did you get chairs for you started shirts no we were poor and we were literally bring your own chair to church Church bring your Bible and bring a chair that's what we tell everybody hey man if you bring somebody would you mind bringing a chair and here's what's that here here what the deal is our church was so small and everybody was so poor that came to open door that they would take their chairs back home because they didn't have another one not being like God why won't people leave their chairs here we need some chairs in this joint and so you know we were in our fourth year before we actually had legit chairs and I just remember I've never just cried oh we've got chairs and I mean I I can remember upgrades I can remember when we moved into this building you guys do know that this building was given to me right this building everything that you see was given to me just called me out of the blue Monday some crazy woman by the name of pastor Gloria Gillespie and she called me and said come over and talk to me and I came over and talked to her and she said I was on the stage and the Lord spoke to me and I heard God say go find Troy Brewer and give him this building and join your ministry with him [Music] and she said hold out your hands there she is past the glory oh we sure do love you and yep all ours there you are over there I'm looking for you amen sure do love you pastor Gloria and she she said hold out your hands she said troy'd this is how God tell me to do it and she dropped the keys in my hand and she said so what do you say I said I or what do you think I said I think I'm moving to Burleson and here we are that was just a couple of years ago whenever whenever that happened and I can just think of all the upgrades that have happened and all the amazing miracles that the Lord has done for us and how good he's been to us but I can tell you this for every single upgrade we've ever had it was required that there be an upgrade in Troy's life and this is a principle that I've learned throughout the years is this there will never be a major change in your own life until there's a major change in you and the the idea of I'm waiting for somebody to show up and change everything is a poverty mindset that says I'm a victim you find that at the Pool of Bethesda where you're sitting there you can't walk you're waiting for an angel to make the water bold you guys know that story right and then when Jesus shows up and says hey man what do you want here I wish somebody would just be responsible for picking me up and throw me into the water he said well how about I just heal you right on it's like okay with this whole mindset I don't have anybody for this I don't have anybody for that I don't have anybody for this that understanding of I am a victim plagues you so much that you bring things into your life that that are toxic and we've all done that I've done that you've done that we've all been out where the dogs bark anybody ever been where the dogs bark I know where that place is very well and I showed up there a Hootin and Hollerin and the dogs are barking here and then what happens is sometimes it takes years of your life to unwind and unpack from the mistakes that you made and once in one period of your life and it tries to define you and you have to come into the identity of King Jesus and you have to come into something different where somebody offers you life and you go wow now this is life and life more abundantly and I and I can tell you that 3 years there's so many things that changed I can also tell you too that there's a lot of things that haven't changed one of the things has to do with how I present the gospel with how I look at my ministry and how I think that I'm supposed to lead all of us just as a tribe and I want to kind of walk you through that if that's ok and tell you how I thought about it at the very beginning and tell you as much as I've learned about preaching and teaching and standing in front of people I've learned that this is something I do not need to change they're like well what is that well from the very beginning it was I was it was it was an intimidating situation for me to get up in to teach because I'm not educated and to get up in the preach because you know I'd never done that before and also because when I first started pastoring I pastored in the same little bitty town that I grew up in that I was famous for being ungodly in and you guys know I don't do nothing halfway right is there anybody in here who went to school with me guys just raised their hands yeah right on there you go and everybody's like and we're shocked I know honey I know me too I'm shocked too they're like oh oh you have no idea and here's what you say yeah we do because he gets something tells those stories right let's see ain't nobody got anything on me I tell everybody everything and I wanted oh right well maybe not everything but you get the general gist of what I'm talking about what I'm saying is I'm obviously flawed and at first I thought that that was that's really going to be a hindrance to God and what I found out was that when you're obviously flawed or when you come from the same background or what or when you when you're famous for guess it's just hard to preach in the same small town that you grew up in and Burleson is a big old city now I grew up in Joshua and you know we were a little big town growing up and I mean you know it was bad I mean I was so bad at the very first time that I ever went to church when I was 18 years old the pastor stopped the service and thought I was in there staking out the joint to come and Rob it and you guys know that story called me the devil in front of the whole congregation I was just in there because I want to hear the band and called me a devil and I became the devil I stood up told him I would whoop him and every man in that place I started you know I lost my mind and I was very embarrassed and they they hook him aside and shunned out me out the front door and I got in my car and when I started up my truck I did about 50 Donuts out there and scattered them like a bunch of Jackrabbits I was nuts well how would you like to Pastor a church in that hometown yeah I'm like the demoniac of Ghaderi you guys know that story now that I'm clothed in in my right mind Jesus makes me stay in Ghaderi okay oh very much like that so this guy that Jesus Hilton he was crazy and anyway the Lord healed him and the Bible says they found him clothed in the in his right mind and he begged Jesus who said I want to go with you says no yet stay right here and you got to be a testimony here well I didn't understand how all that worked back then I just thought it was a terrible burden to bear but what I found out is there's actually a tremendous advantage in it because people see the transformation within your life and as long as you're willing to be real and deal with the fact that your history is obviously flawed you are obviously flawed but still look at how good Jesus is to me in the midst of this people see that so I anytime that I've got up and preached the word any something that I got up and done all this I always want to tell my own story and I always want to tell you okay this is how it works for me and this is this is how the Lord came to me in this this is what this means to me and this is how I actually walk it out and this is what I expect out of that because if I'm not giving you my personal experience I'm giving you a theory I'm giving you a philosophy or I'm faking it and I don't want to feel the pressure of performance I can't stand the pressure of performance now I'm a musician and I understand the pressure of performance of you know you know played in bands for years and years and years played all over every kind of music that you can think of and I can just tell you that there are times that you got to step up and you got to make it happen that's not I'm talking about with everybody looking at you and sizing you up and going yeah but but are there any obvious flaws in your life because you couldn't be the real deal if there's obvious flaws no hillbilly you can't be the real deal if there's not obvious flaws in your life and that's how that works well Jesus says that whatever you have is what you get people and so that means that you have to be much more conscious of how awesome God is within your life then you are of the obvious flaws in your own life I'm not saying that you do not work to be better I'm not saying that you are not held responsible for dealing with your own trash but but you need to understand that there will be a harvest but it doesn't have to be a weedless one the lord of the harvest is his job to gather the weeds you know that scripture right it's not your job your job is not to be a weed puller your job is to be a harvest producer and does that mean you're gonna do everything perfect no does that mean that does that mean that you're never going to be wrong no it doesn't does that mean that you're gonna get everything right no it does not mean that you're gonna get everything right and you're not gonna get everything right and if you think that you are you're thinking way too highly of yourself but it does mean that you're serious about the investment that the Lord has put in your own life enough that you love Jesus enough that you're bound and determined to produce a harvest that looks more like heaven than it looks like hell and so it's it's super important that you understand that Jesus says whatever you have is what you give to is what you give to somebody else he says in John chapter 4 verse 4 verse 14 he says whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst but the water that I give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up and artesian well you know a well springing up he says look this is how it works the life that I give you is what you spill into other people's lives you don't give them theories you know when I'm up here speaking to you right now do you know how I came up with this word I have to judge what is God talking to me about if I don't live my life being aware of what God is talking to me about and what God is dealing with me about then what I'm going to do to you is try and figure out what you need to hear and I'll come up with a sermon for that which makes me a me no ugly southern preacher like so many me no ugly Southern preachers all their fears right over there I have a message for her to you that that's horrible all right you have to be aware of how you carried the presence of God within you you have to be aware of your own history with God you have to be constantly aware of the good things that God has done for you and that's what you give to everybody else in the Old Testament it looks like this God shows up to Moses as a sign in a miracle and then guess what kind of mirror guess what kind of ministry Moses had a Ministry of signs and miracles right God shows up to Joshua as a warrior and then guess what Joshua becomes right well just exactly like that in the New Testament the goodness that God gives to us and the word that God gives to us in the life that Jesus gives to us that's what we're supposed to spill over onto everybody else and can I tell you there's no point there's no performance in that and I love that I just love that look man if you're gonna paint a portrait of me it's gonna be with warts and all now I'm working on my warts and I will someday have them removed how to loo you right yeah well part of the mail that I get is just people are just so critical about how you look especially in Europe you know we're on TV and Europe everyone's like my god you've got to learn how to dress dude and oh my gosh pastor Troy you know you look like a shar-pei and you need to have that cinched up you know there's doctors that can help you with that okay well I don't get this cinched up because if I do honey my eyebrows won't be here it'll be up here like a frickin Norman Rockwell painting and I don't want to look like that I don't want my dad yet listen I know it's loose I used to weigh over 400 pounds and when you weigh over 400 pounds you tend to stretch things out of it I'm not saying I won't do something someday I might get something cinched up I don't know it'd be nice to take off my belt and my body not fall down around my ankles that would be fun but I am but I am saying this that in the meantime even though I have obvious flaws I'm not saying that I'm not a bad motor scooter cuz I am and I'm not saying that there's not incredible victory of my life and I'm not saying I don't get a front row seat to really cool living I'm just saying yeah there's flaws get over it that's what I'm saying now what I what I'm going to give you about King Jesus is going to be what Jesus has given to me even though there are obvious flaws within my life and again I'm not saying that I'm not responsible for that that's not what I'm saying I want you to say that we have to learn to make a bigger deal out of the presence of God than we do out of all the mess okay because it's a completely different lens and Jesus says if your eye is evil then your whole body will be evil if your lens is whack then your gonna be whack that's what that means so in Acts chapter 3 brother Peter gets up says well I ain't got enough money but such as I haven't give unto you and that's how it works you don't you don't got to worry about if somebody says hey man do you can you do this can you do that can you do that and now I can't do that but I can offer you this but you need to be aware of what you have to offer people you need to be aware of the goodness of God within your own life because you are unique and what God is doing with you is unique to you yes you know I praise God amen that he's in the salvation business but once we get past salvation what's real is individually uniquely he's doing something different with you than he's doing with me and like why because it's real you know I have I have four kids I have seven grandchildren they all love their Papa I love them all the same but I do not speak to them all the same you're like why because my grandkids are a little bitty my kids are adults and I don't want to sound like an idiot I don't go up to my 250-pound six foot tall 28 year old go your daddy loves you yeah yeah yeah yeah I do that with my two year olds right on I love them the same but how I deal with them is completely different I don't buy them all the same toys right so I'm dealing with them differently and listen God is dealing with you differently and it's because he doesn't hate your humanity he doesn't hate your humanity you have to believe me when I say that to you do you guys believe me listen for God so loved the world he gave His only begotten Son that whosoever would believe in him would have everlasting life it didn't wasn't for God so hated the world he had to send his son it was for God so loved the world that He sent His Son he doesn't hate humanity he wants to save humanity he wants to jump in he wants to bless it that's what he wants to do and if if you constantly hide your humanity you cannot have the real power of God within you and so so don't be don't be hiding it or not look you don't have to be proud of your flaws I'm not saying proud of that just going oh yeah I know you know pastor Troy do you know why do you got to talk like a Texan from the 1970s gee I can't think of a reason why I would speak like a Texan for the night team because I'm a Texan from the 1970s I ain't gonna talk like you ain't trying to be you and I don't need your dadgum approval to get up here and talk hallelujah it's like this is how I live my life this is me and I'm not gonna change and put on a mask to make sure that you're happy okay well that whole thing that whole attitude is a kingdom attitude it is a kingdom attitude and I love it and guys there's freedom in that so I have to yes I'm aware of the weeds yes I'm aware of the flaws yes I'm aware that there's a continual work that needs to happen with me but I'm much more aware of how good god has been to me a much more aware of the Word of God within my life I'm much more aware of where the Lord prophetically has taken me a much more aware of what God is speaking to me I'm much more aware of the signs of the miracles and wonders and the differences that we're seeing in helping people I'm much more aware than that then I am sitting around going somebody hates me somebody doesn't like me somebody did me wrong never I didn't have enough money for that I invested that didn't pay off if you're aware of all that man you're making the rest of us miserable and I would encourage you change your lens amen change your lens in Revelation chapter 12 it says and they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony so when it comes to okay but pastor Troy I went after something and I felt and then I tried this and it didn't work and then I went after that and that felt as well yeah okay here's the deal well how can i how can I approach Jesus and a mrs. so many failures well first of all you need to get rid of the lie that God has called you to be successful in all things and you need to deal with that God has not called you to be successful in all things God has called you to be fruitful in all things amen if if God's biggest agenda was you better not ever mess up yeah that'd be of now that would be an issue sure would but if God's biggest agenda is I dare you to believe me even though you're messed up oh that might be doable especially since he's the one that gives you the grace to be able to do that amen yea man there's a lot of failures that you have with in your life that even though you failed you still didn't bail on God's like look at that there's a lot of times in your life man that she felt miserably and it was something bad that did that happen but instead of you running away from God then you went back to God said god I'm so I'm so whack I'm so messed up I got please help me and God went look at that look at that like that God hasn't called you to be successful in all things he's called you to be fruitful in all things it's the fruit of the Holy Spirit that glorifies God and by the way friends if you don't mind me saying this to you Christ in you is the hope of glory do you know what do you know what that means when the Bible says Christ in you is the hope of glory it means this the hope of God's showing up and showing off his visible awesomeness glory is that I carry him with me all the time the hope of glory is not that I get everything right the hope of glory is that I have Jesus in my life amen that's why you know like back when it was legal to fly airplanes I used to get in airplanes all the time and one of the things I would think every time I get on a dadgum airplane is man these people are blessed I'm on this plane alright why would you think that because this this just became the safest plane flying I believe that in Jesus name I ain't no Lynyrd Skynyrd band man I'm I'm I'm not man I am somebody who is on the Jesus train and I'm declaring in the name of King Jesus this plane is safe safe safe safe say is the fact that I carried the presence of Jesus with me that gives me hope for everything y'all just seen the looks on your face like you ain't gonna start blaspheming Lynyrd Skynyrd to tell you that I love letter scanner I love Lynyrd Skynyrd bands my favorite bands has ever lived so please don't think I'm speaking ill of them or saying they deserve that because I didn't I did not deserve that what I'm just saying is I have something Christ in me is the hope of glory not that Capital Records is taking care of my airplane amen amen house world number one only fob people are allowed to operate in this house no perfect people are allowed whatsoever you get on our nerves house rule number two don't be famous be influential be a leader if you're going after being famous what's real is you're expecting people to approve of your performance you don't wanna be famous you want to be influential man you want to be a leader you want to encourage people you want to inspire people you want to bless people that's what you want to do one of the things that that we have to do is we have to recognize like in the Bible whenever the Lord says the kingdom of heaven is just like that what he's saying is this is what the culture of heaven actually looks like right it's like it doesn't look like Texas but it does look like heaven and you guys know all those parables right or whenever Jesus says the kingdom of heaven is just like that or the kingdom is just like that or that's how it works when the King has Dominion okay well that's culture and you're like well okay what is culture you know what is that is that a district in Fort Worth right is that how you hold your pinky out when you drink something is what is what is culture culture is simply how we do things around how we do things around here and when it comes to the culture of our homes when it comes to the culture of our workplace when it comes to the culture of our nation it's always going to be defined by your values or what you make a big deal out of if you make a big deal out of the wrong things then then the culture is toxic if you make a big deal out of the right things then the culture is awesome amen are you guys guys tracking with me right okay well I can just tell you that if you're going to have a culture where people are going to be free and where people are loved and people are accepted where people actually have freedom within their life then you had to have a culture of grace and like I'm not telling you you could never make a mistake I'm telling you that you have freedom to go after this that's completely different and accountability in the kingdom should look a whole lot different than accountability looks in the world here's how accountability in the world looks it looks like this I know you're gonna screw up and as soon as you screw up I'm gonna call you on it that's worldly accountability okay Kingdom accountability looks like this I know who Jesus says that you are and you're way better than that and I'm gonna help you with that come on man you got this you got this one holds you accountable to us to a standard that is not you one holds you accountable to a standard that says dude you're so awesome that's how Kingdom accountability is supposed to work so house rule number three is this you know what we love and we celebrate the grace of God in this house man guys we have to be grace fanatics now as soon in the Bible Belt or the Bible news is I like to call it that we start saying that we are grace fanatics immediately people go oh oh you better be careful pastor Troy oh oh you better be careful because you don't want to be one of those hyper grace guys you're my answer to that is I've never seen minimum grace and I've never seen anybody that needs minimum grace everybody I've ever known and my whole life needs hyper grace and and everybody I have ever known in my whole life needs the grace and the power of God and they need forgiveness they need restoration they need Redemption they need those things and they don't need just a little bitty bit of that they need a whole lot of that so I need to define grace what it is that we're talking about look I know that grace will be manifested in many times as unmerited favor but also many times the grace of God gives you the ability to press into a qualified favor that you grow in you know the guys about the Bible says that Jesus grew in the favor of both God and men right so there's there's things that you qualify for you know there's certain tests man that you have to take that that you have to pass does not determine if you're saved or not but it determines for a certain level of the favor of God upon your life if somebody gives you money and say I want you to give this to so-and-so you're like yeah but I need to take some of that dude you better you better pass that test amen there's a whole bunch of Testament that's you need pass that you can actually grow in the favor of God but that's not the favor of God that just has to do with do you qualify for authority and for break in for certain breakthroughs that come with that authority and you have to grow up into those things how am i doing guys right on so so I can tell you that grace is god-given ability to overcome if if you're like me and you came out of Marlboro country a long long long time ago my I had an issue with Marlboro country but I had more of an issue with copening and then I had anything else and I want to tell you man it was by the grace of God I came out of the most difficult thing I've ever done in my whole life was quit smoking I'm telling you I'm sorry and I mean I did bad stuff I did drugs for a long time before I was saved walked away from every single bit of that but it was still wildly attracted to the Marlboro Man which is between me and King Jesus none of your business I'm just saying man I was just like man I don't know if I'm ever it was by the grace of God I was able to quit it I had to have the grace of the power of God to be able to quit it and and I tried a lot of times before I actually quit hey I tried in a field I tried in a felt I tried in a felt and then I finally finally quit it any Joker that tells you that nicotine is not addictive it needs to be beat up he needs to be hogtied and beat nearly to death with a shoe because that is a lie dude I think I have not listened I have not had any snuff in my mouth as I was in my early 20s I'm 53 I still dream I'm dipping I'm 53 dude and I'll be like oh no but sugar dude then I wake up at all I messed everything up I'm like you're so stupid no it's it's addictive do you not think it's not right I'd but we're sitting as about and grace does much more abound when you got an issue there's much more grace for you to overcome that issue and God gave me that right but then you know what happened guys whenever I quit doing nicotine I gained about a hundred and fifty pounds I did I gained a hundred in 50 swinging pounds alright in 2011 I weighed over 400 pounds I'm not making that up listen I was worldwide before the Internet [Applause] I have more Chin's than a Chinese phone book oh the brother was fat I'm talking about fat and by the way by the way can I just tell you something I rocked your face off as a fat man and my wife loved me my wife has made a heck of an investment in me I come rolling in walking in 400 pound in my hunt my wife said that's my man right there and I love that man and she's good to me she was she's been so good to me these past 31 years good to me love's the brother is smitten with me all she wants to do is kiss 24 hours a day I'm like woman I have a mind whatever with that said she has been really really good to me so the grace of God is god-given ability to overcome something right but the grace of God is also endless second chances now y'all thought I forgot about second Samuel Chapter nine didn't you know so here's second Samuel Chapter nine and David said is there yet any that is left to the house of saw that I might show him kindness for Jonathan's sake and there was at the house of saw servant whose name was Eva and when they had called him unto David the King said unto him aren't you Siva and he said yeah your servant and that's me when the king said well is there not yet any of the house of saw that I might show the kindness of God unto Him and zaebis said unto the king well Jonathan has yet another son which is lame on his feet when King said unto Him where is he of ziba said unto Him behold he's in the house of trainwreck the son of trainwreck and a place called lo debar and King David sit and fetched him out of the house of trainwreck the son of trainwreck from zone from lo debar okay King David who is such an awesome example of King Jesus he's going through this personal assessment he's in a time in his life like what you have been in recently where you're looking around at things and going these things need to be finished hey man how many guys can bear witness of that but there's things that need to be finished whether they're around our house or there's things that I should have done that I need to do there's things I haven't been engaged in a long time that I need to reengage do I need to I need to finish those things and he begins to wonder is there anything open-ended that I've left open-ended when it comes to the house of Saul when it comes to Jonathan I know that I always swore to Jonathan I'd take care of his family is there anybody that I should be taking care of that I'm not taking care of those are great questions to ask those kinds of self assessments that you constantly go through and guys I go through them all time where I'm like okay wait what am I missing and guys this is Jeremiah 33:3 call upon me and I will show you great and mighty things that you know not of it's it's the equivalent it's just I come in to King Jesus and going okay Lord what do you wish I knew that I don't know Lord Jesus what am I missing that it's very important that I get to those places what are those things and I just believe with all my heart that it doesn't make God mad for me to ask that you know why because I have kids and it would never make me mad if my 32 or 33 year old showed up to me and said hey Dad just in coming into my 30s I just recognize you've already been here and you're way ahead of me on this what am I missing would that cause you be angry or would that cause you to have favor upon your children or what God for can you imagine if a teenager did that you've been like yeah who are you so I come before the Lord and say God what am I missing man now yeah what and this I believe that King David was doing this and all of a sudden King it hits him he's like is there anybody left at the house I saw that I can just be a blessing to that's there's some under some undone things in that man that I really need to finish and I need to get those things finished is there is there anybody left them if somebody comes in brother by the name of zebah and ziba shows up when zebra says you know there actually is and it's actually one of Jonathan's kids but you need to know that he's lame meaning this you don't really want to bring him in all I can do is kind of crawl around I mean he's obviously flawed and it's not gonna bring you any glory area to kind of majesty and it's not gonna look really cool you bring this guy she's gonna look sad it's really how it's gonna look and david said fetch him go get that brother that's obviously flawed and bring him in here so he does that and friends i want you to know that the day that the horses showed up for a brother by the name you talk about train wreck of a name but fibbers said if you've ever looked up that name but it means the pigs are loose in the kitchen it does not mean that so Mephibosheth shows up or he's there in his house and you need to understand that he had dreaded the day that he heard the Kings Horseman outside because back in chapter four a second Samuel it tells the story of what happened to him as a kid because what happened was the whole regime change happens and you know what happens in the ancient Middle East and you can study this it's this when when a when a rival takes over an opposing king they go out and they gather up all the women in kids and then they kill them all or many times they will literally skin them alive and make couches out of their skin so that when you go to visit the King you have to sit on the couch of someone he's skinned alive and the message is you don't want to rebel against me and so the Bible says that that in the haste of the regime changing and nobody knew what was gonna happen oh my gosh man we got to go we got to get out of here man as soon as anybody finds out that this is one of the Kings kids we got to go we got to get let's go and she drops this baby and his back is broken and his legs don't work so you have to understand that Mephibosheth grew up in a house knowing any day somebody could find out his history and if they ever find out my history I'm dead it could be today could be tomorrow I don't really know when it's gonna be there's gonna be some time they're gonna show up my god it's gonna be horrible he also grew up not being able to see the light of day he had to stay inside a house he can't had to be hid he he couldn't go out and play with the other kids and then he grew up with the obvious fall of his legs didn't work he had unbelievable big things he had to hide and then on top of that he was obviously flawed guys you know what the name Mephibosheth means it actually it actually means that for one or the one that's been ashamed that's his name and true to form the brother had lived up to his name and King David said go and get me this kid they bring him to him and can you imagine no I want you to think about this because friends can you imagine that they brought him in and he say kid all the way oh my god oh my god oh my god I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry for my past I'm sorry for my family history I'm sorry I'm sorry if there was any way I could fix it now I'd fix it but I can't fix it oh my gosh oh my gosh I'm sorry I can't even stand in your presence I'm just so screwed up I can't even stand here I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm not educated and I don't have any friends and I've lived in terror my whole life and I'm sorry I'm sorry and you know what King David says to him King David says to him in verse eight verse seven and eight and David said on him do not be afraid fear not for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan my father's sake and I will restore you all the land of Sawyer of Saul your father and you shall eat bread at my table continually it's likely what are you talking about and as a matter of fact the only way that he knows how to respond is you have mistaken me for somebody else because this is what he says and he bowed himself and he said what what is your servant that you should look upon such a dead dog as I am I have nothing to bring to this table you want me to sit your table dude I didn't I can't even set up right I can't do nothing right what are we going to talk about I have no place at your table and this is what he said you're perfect for my table perfect the Bible says in Chapter 9 verse 13 some acibi Seth Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem and he did eat continually at the king's table and was lame on his feet he was still obviously flawed and nobody made a big deal out of the fact his legs didn't work they made a big deal that the King set at his table do you see what that is he listen you have to understand that this is how the house rules work for the house of the King this is how it works that your worst fear is that Jesus shows up chases you down drags you into his presence and then sits you at his table and calls you blessed yes you're still obviously flawed yes you did come from that but here's how it works in the Kings culture we're not making a big deal out of that we're making a big deal out of the fact that my table is your table we are family that is the grace of God and you know what that's my story and that's your story let's give Jesus a great big praise it's all stand up yeah just give him a great big praise in the house love you Jesus hallelujah listen if we believe this and if this is our experience how can we not give that to other people listen before everybody leaves before before you all run off just keep this a holy moment for just a second okay everybody lift your hands to the Lord just lift your hands to the Lord father thank you God for loving me just as I am thank you God that you saw me when nobody else saw me and you love me when nobody else loved me and the place where I was so shamed you honored me Father I just declare the grace of God on every single one of us god-given ability to overcome god-given ability to walk with you to serve you to come out of the things we need to come out of and come into the things God we need to come into and endless second chances just declare no more shame on you in the name of King Jesus no more fear on you in the name of King Jesus but you have a place at the Kings table and you're honored and you have an inheritance and you won't you will not be lifted you will not be left out in Jesus name the King has come to you and he loves you I'm gonna ask you to put your hands down and just well just just keep this a holy moment keep your eyes closed and just honestly be thinking about where the Spirit of the Lord is within your own life right now if here's somebody that today on this day that you recognize man I didn't know that that was the gospel of Jesus I thought it was something else and I didn't know that I couldn't be flawed to come and sit at his table I didn't know that I didn't know that he loved me the way that I am and I did not know that he didn't hate my humanity I didn't know and if today is a day where you're like no I have to know Jesus and I have to accept Jesus today I have to I just want you to raise your hand high towards heaven and say that's me awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome hallelujah I want everybody here to say this prayer with me everybody just raise your hand and everybody else let's all say this prayer together say father God please forgive me and please receive me thank you for loving me now cause me to love you to fill me up with your Holy Spirit and change my life from this day forward I belong to you and you
