Sunday Morning Worship

good morning and happy sunday good morning good morning it is sunday funday it is sunday sunday it is sunday i'm here for it it's sunday for some people they may feel like it's the end of the weekend but for me it's just getting started it's just getting started it's getting started this is how you bring in your week yes it's right here with us in all nations atlantic can you believe it is august 21st i can't like i feel like summer is summer technically over since school isn't in session it's getting to that point i don't know but it's going it's getting there i don't know i'm not ready i'm not i'm enjoying summer i'm enjoying this summer series on relationships but before we get there we need y'all to check in let us know where you are streaming from dropping them are you in your car are you in your living room whether you're in texas atlanta north dakota colorado we want to know where you are joining us from yes we want to see if you are on your way to church you tuning in trying to see okay i'm not 15 minutes late let me see where they are in service i used to do that you got four kids so that's understandable yes and this morning was a struggle but we made it we're here thank god we made it speaking of a summer series this is the last installment a pastor's message for the relationship series let us know in the comments what has been your favorite part of this series or your favorite message or your favorite the speaker that's been here we want to hear from you i think for me it was i know our generation has this notion of no new friends like we're good with our day ones a ones but when he said you know sometimes you have to evaluate those friends who are with you were they relationships that were god or day or were they self-ordained absolutely and sometimes you can have some friendships that are there they're more like they're sabotaging you a little bit yes and you help to pick all your juices and you wonder why things are happening so i'm over the whole wait i just i fell in love pick all of you you helped pick all of your juices they weren't you picked them so i felt that and i'm i i want new friends i'm okay with the i don't want the whole no new friends no i want new friends i'm i'm enjoying the relationships that god is sending into my life so i'm gonna be honest i'm not ready for this series to be over but i know that there's more growth for us so we're gonna go from glory to glory to glory and he got something else absolutely and the beautiful thing about it is you can always go back to our facebook and youtube channel if you miss any of these series you can go back and watch them all right so let's get into it well first we want to say thank you all for joining us for the anc global prayer fasting and praying three powerful days of intercession for the all nations collective tuesday was amazing it was amazing it was powerful it was it was life-changing you had to be here but for those of you that were not here i'm sure the president of the lord met you right in the living room or wherever you were watching us online it was a wonderful powerful time of worship and intercession i mean because only things could happen like anything can happen anything is possible you know when we pray the lord hears us and i think sometimes with the struggles of life we're like lord are you listening but those three days i don't know about you i felt like he was listening yes can you hear me now yes i can hear you all again here yes yes it was great a time to become more disciplined and and letting go of food and those things that we're so used to having so that we can seek god's face so thank you all for uh joining us for that time and yesterday we had impact day impacted impact day was absolutely phenomenal we had partners come out to celebrate and to love and to feed and clean and sanitize classrooms we had an amazing time at our house atlanta and they are very appreciative and thankful for us to come and bless them so the next time we do impact day next year anytime our evangelism ministry is doing anything we want you to be a part yes city impact we are going to be doing some amazing things right here in the city and we want to partner with our our members as well as our community that we are in and if you missed yesterday just know that you can make an impact any day whether it's whether that's paying it forward while you're in the mcdonald's getting your breakfast absolutely whether that's going through your closet and getting clothes and dropping it off at your local shelter or going to your local elementary or middle or high school and dropping off some donations from books because a lot of times students don't have what they need and these teachers they spend their own money to impact our youth so you can you can do impact any day of the week anything [Music] that's who we are this is who we are all nations being a blessed people to be a blessing to others all right so what we got coming up we have our prophetic activations do you hear the lord i hear them i hear them too i know you do i hear them but i'm not gonna lie sometimes i want to make sure i'm hearing the lord and it's not something that's just in my head or my own flesh or desire so just knowing that this prophetic pop-up activation is happening if you are an all nations atl member yes this activation is for you unfortunately you must be a partner but we'll talk about the future but if you are a partner this activation is for you we have some house leaders we have what dr ho eating dr ho eating yes prophet prophet dre prophet drake and the one and only minister of music prophetess pastor bonita so i'm really excited about this prophetic activations i am too i feel like i need a refresher too i mean you know life happens and you you can never stop learning you know never stop hearing the voice and that's what i love about this house is that we encourage um learning uh educational learning ongoing training and development yes we're always equipping the saints always posturing ourselves to receive from god because god is always revealing god is a speaking god the bible has given the word of god has already been established but god is still speaking through his word to us every day and so it is amazing to have people men and women of god who are submitted to hear from god to help empower and train and equip us for the work of the ministry that's that's what the bible says so i'm excited about the prophetic activations it's perfect you're gonna you're gonna learn about prophetic types uh prophetic worship and we're gonna be training and activating to hear the voice of god and not just what you not just what you feel yes okay not just but you don't know what then you know what the lord has to say yeah and and you'll probably you'll find out that you're not are far off as you think that you may be and so you just need that confidence that someone to help push you to that next place in god so yeah what else we have going on we have discovery class registration is now open for the discovery class for our new members it's two weeks saturday

before in jesus name amen and amen you may be seated in the presence of the lord i want to talk today matter of fact i'll give the lord of hand for pastor gerderian and so so i'm in the office preparing to come out and the sanctuary is wrecked and i'm thinking to myself i should just stay back here and just enjoy it on the screen for all the visitors who are visiting for the first time the lord bless you we have the word of the lord today um i want to share a couple things and i'm going to bob and weave through the message today um we are in unprecedented times we all are and in particular my wife and i have been walking through an amazing amazing trial that i'm not going to speak about today but i want to say that in all my years of walking with the lord god has been faithful amen god's been faithful i want to cur i want to encourage you to keep your eyes on the lord make sure your relationship with the lord is solid um we've been in this relationship series this summer july the 6th when my father died it's like a whole vortex opened up and hell just burped out demons from everywhere and we've been on this path of just dealing and uh to be honest with you it could be draining but the lord is kind and he's faithful and i want to talk to you today in the last part of this relationship series i want to talk to you about your relationship with the lord we talked about the relationship with one another but i won't if you allow me to i want to teach you how to walk with god one of the things i want to say before we even get into the scripture is that as you walk with god you're going to have to deal with you amen when you read the book of job and you go through all 42 chapters of job people misunderstand god's motive in allowing job to walk through what he went through job was identified by god as a righteous man amen satan when satan appeared before him the bible says that god said have you considered my servant job and god says he is particularly righteous this is a good man so why would god volunteer him now understand now job's story seems like years but it's only nine months of compressed struggle it was so bad that the bible says that when his friends came and they saw him immediately they began to accuse him amen or elie fast who led the the group of friends they wanted they came with good intentions his friends were bad friends job eventually called them miserable comforters he told he said you're horrible at this if you came to encourage me go home you're not doing this right but the bible says that they looked at job and when they saw his plight he was he was actually down the street at the garbage dump most of the story of job is being told at the garbage dump how many of you knew that he was not in his house he wasn't in his bed he was at he was down with the he was scraping the source from his body the dried sauce he was at the garbage dump doing it because he smelled when his friends saw him they were like you had to have done something wrong eliphaz used history his history of god he said by my experience god doesn't do this to good people the second friend use a religious mindset he was legalistic he said scripturally you have to be wrong so far who was the third one he combined it jesus man job you pretending to be he accused job of hypocrisy [Music] but god said that job was a righteous man and so here's what i want to point out to you before we get deep into the lesson because you may be a righteous person it does not mean you don't have room to grow now get this this is important because when god introduces job in the first couple of chapters the i think about about the third chapter job is is going through all these uh procedures so to speak uh or praying for his children burning sacrifices doing all these things to cover his children thinking that if he do these things correctly god will owe him and so what god was after listen to what i'm about to say what god was after in job's life was his self-righteousness i just really believe i offend children i got this anointing to just offend kids forgive me for that so so the reason this is important is because as you walk with god you want to have a part of yourself that we all know and there's some things from your history history that everyone doesn't know that's not important to who god has called you to be and who is making you into so i'm going to say this to you before i i'm going to get into the lesson but i'm going to talk to you today about the guilt offering it's a deep teaching but what i want you to understand is this as you walk with god god did not save you because you're good jesus didn't come to make bad people good he came to make dead men live understand something no no understand something and and because people sit to the front and they stand on the platform and do not ever think that we are 100 together because we're working through some process but there's an african proverb there's an african proverb that says until the lion learns to write the hunter story is the only version you have until the lion learns to write the hunter's story so what i want you to i want to i want to encourage you because as god builds this house and god god does what he's going to do in our lives you have to understand something when you walk with god you're going to go through seasons and you have to learn how to function in seasons and god will choose you he will pick you out and say have you considered my servant call your name have you considered my servant and god will point you out that's a good person but i i need to work on them god was after job's self-righteousness job thought that god blessed him because he was doing all the right things and i'm going to tell you what god is going after you say pastor what particularly is god going after this is just my pre um my precursor i'm going to get into something the the trial got so hard and god was waiting to hear something from job right around chapter 29 job mentioned his own name 40 times in one chapter watch this he was now all along he's he's worshiping god people look at the job that's a righteous man he's a rich man all these things but around chapter 29 when the thing got thick when people were accusing him and and repudiating him the bible says that job lashes out against them and in his lashing out he called his own name 40 times and by the end of it when you get to right around chapter 33 he's not just indicting his friends now he's indicting god he's blaming that and god says there it is that's what i was looking for because he was saying i am better to god than god is to me and that's and that undercurrent that undercurrent that god owes you that's that's buried under all that religiosity and that spiritual talk and that that tongues god sees it and people say i just don't understand this person's such a good person why god do it because we all have this thing that we think god owes us and let me tell you what what happened at the end of visit chapter 42 as a matter of fact before chapter 42 god confronts job and he asks him a series of questions he says where were you when i did this and where were you when i did that you think we're equal we're not peers and so god began to rebuke job and in chapter 42 here's what job said he said i thought here's what he said i thought i knew you here's what he said i thought i knew you he said only heard of you he said but now after going through all this now i know you lift your hands to jesus i'm gonna tell you something right now you think you know him now but you're about to go through a series matter of fact some of you have been through a series if you've been through if you've been through your stuff and you're going through it now wave at me wave with me you go you i'm going through some stuff right now i'm going to imitate somebody demonic attacks demonic attacks are not all lies what makes it difficult to deal with is that there's a little element of truth in there about you the enemy uses the truth to neutral that little bit of truth to neutralize you i want to talk to you about the guilt offering and if you would allow me to take my time because this is important this is doctrine everybody say this is doctrinal quit really quickly every story has elements when you when you study story writing it has at least five major and two minor elements in every story you're going to find the setting the characters the plot or the point of view and the theme these are these are the primary parts of a story you're not a good story writer if you if we don't understand the setting of the story or the characters involved are not well defined or have their own individuality if the plot is kind of confusing we walk away saying man i was a waste of my time if there's the point of view we have to know what point of view is a story being told from and then lastly we have to understand the theme of it and so i want to break these down real quickly because as we delve into this lesson you you'll be able to reach back and and kind of pull some things out based on these uh elements so the first element of a story is the sitting is the place and the time that it's happening in it's important when you hear a story you ask yourself where and when because sometimes people tell a story that has happened ancient or in ancient times like it's happening right now so there's a part of your story that happened when you had no sense there's a part of your story that happened when you didn't know who you were there's a part of your story that happened when you were broken there are part of the story that happened when you were broke there's a part of your story when you're living out a programming like a computer based on your upbringing and based on the your home of origin you got to understand the setting of a story the time and the place also they're characters the people in the story each character has its own identity each character has his own strength her own weakness her own struggles there's background to it stories are not told in a vacuum i don't want to i want to know how did how did the hulk or how did bruce banner become the hulk and and marvel just released a version called she-hulk and it starts out with her freaking out turning green and but they were smart enough to stop at just the beginning and go back to show us how she became she-hulk because i need to know more about the story than just what you're saying the characters are important what made the i understand i understand that she has an issue tell me why didn't you know her story don't just tell me she touched him with his garment give me some background right we need to know there's certain things you need to know when you read the bible you'll find as it relates to characters they are characters that when jesus calls their name you know something about them when he says a certain man or certain woman he gives no background why it's not important what's important is the work that was done on the person follow me on this the third part of the story the third third element is the plot it's the storyline now listen to this about this plot a plot is a sequence of events where one event affects the others through a thing called cause and effect so don't tell me the effect and don't tell me the cause the story becomes weak if i don't see how the two relate to one another in each plot they're often subplots there's always when you see when you watch the story being being played out don't think for a minute that's the only thing that's happening there's other stuff driving what you're seeing you got it in other words every story has a secondary story being told within the story and every plot has a beginning a middle and an end you have to know where you are you can't walk in on the middle of the story and then try to tell people what the story is about right so so sometimes when a movie comes on or you're watching the storyline or the screenplay then it will stop and say two weeks earlier or or two years and then or skip four five years later what it's trying to do is place you in the proper part of the story because the plot is important every plot has a beginning middle and ending and you can't come in and just say well i know the whole story when you only seen a part every plot also listen to this has a conflict and a resolution or a problem and a solution in every story you've ever read there's a conflict there's a plot it tells what happens or the difficulty that the character or each character is facing each character you as a character in your story you face difficulties there's certain set of circumstances that you deal with i call them obstacles because they're in you here's an example and there's a difference between an obstacle and an obstruction okay if you understand words an obstruction the word structure obstruction means that something was built in your way opposition means that someone or an opponent positions something in your way or opposition but an obstacle has to deal with you an obstacle is inside of you no for example when i when i um people ask me well what year did you graduate and when i give them the year i said i owe at the caveat i didn't graduate i was supposed to my graduating class was that year but i got thrown out of school for fighting you see what i'm saying and that one cause triggered a bunch of effects to the point where i would apply for certain things that i couldn't get because i had no diploma you see what i'm saying so how is it that i'm standing before you with a phd no one gave it to me i earned mine took 20 years but i earned it no no i'm telling you right now they just give me money no but watch this it took it took five take six different schools over two continents germany and the united states to get my phd so something shifted something shifted when i met the lord stories changed so there's a conflict that the resolution or the solution tells what the character does to experience or to star or change or to solve the problem your story is still being written and make no mistake about it you have the pen many people who are bitter today became bitter because they gave someone else the pen and the person wrote you into their story as an extra they wrote you into the story as their whole no no wait wait no no listen to me they wrote you no no listen i'm a male and female they wrote you into the story as the villain they wrote you into the story as whatever they needed you to be because you need to understand how it works if you're not a main character we could just kill you off people will say all kinds of things and characterize you in a lot of ways if you are watching this if you don't know who you are and i'm going to tell you something you all want platforms you all are chasing platforms you want a title you you you want to you want to be recognized right my question to you is can you handle it can you handle being vilified and keeping your mouth shut can you handle your past being brought up in ways that are non-uh um attractive brought up in ways that are totally twisted someone put in you can you handle it and say nothing can you survive can you show up to preach or sing or lay hands when your heart is in a million pieces if you can't do that stay out there don't come up here because i'll tell you this right now it is not only necessary it is one of the single most important requirements of anyone that god would ever use the story is important now i want to give you a i may not get to all of the doctrinal part but i need to give you give you this part of you i need to get this into you is this helping you listen to me the next part is the point of view and this is so critical if you talk to five people about one situation you get five different stories based on point of view perspective is everything people will if i'm standing over here right like for example i can't see what's what's behind you i i can see your face i have to tell you to turn around to see what's behind if you ask me um is the back of my hair fixed i can't tell you how to turn around to give me a different perspective my point of view is from is that you i'm watching you from the front you have the luxury of seeing everything about me because i'm elevated on the platform i don't have the luxury with every one of you point of view is an important part of the story because watch this um it speaks to where the where the story is being told from or who's telling the story the people who love me will tell you that he does no wrong the people who hate me will tell you he does no rights the people who love me will tell you oh he he got it wrong but he's a good person the people that hate me oh he always gets it wrong because he's an evil person perspective is everything and some of you think you know people and all you know is what you know and i'ma tell you what keeps happening every time you're in a situation where he said girl did you hear watch this immediately the first thing you do is you look at the person watch this and this person has the pen writing the character and they're working what they have you don't know where they came from some of you ain't never got high in your life i'm just telling you watch it now i ain't carrying you to go try it i'm just saying what's this she don't worked her way back from crap at crack addiction she walked her way back from not believing in who she is she worked her way back on and now here she is trying to try to do the best to rewrite her and you girl you hear about her and you didn't even ask for time and place and setting nothing you just said i knew who she is jesus shows up on the scene and the bible says that he dies he dies of voluntary death and he had been telling his disciples the whole time that this is the way it's supposed to be he he told them and here they are the bible tells the story in luke 24 about the two disciples on the road to emmaus they're leaving jerusalem going to emmaus and he says now the same day two of them were on their way to the village called emmaus which was about seven miles from jerusalem together they were discussing the story about everything that had taken place from their perspective the story didn't turn out the way it was promised in verse 15 it says in luke 24 15 and while they were discussing and arguing jesus himself came near and began to walk with them watch this they're so consumed with the story the bible says that they're walking and jesus pulled up next to them and start walking and here's what the scripture says and it says but they were prevented from recognizing him the english standard i mean the hormone christian standard bible says that they did not recognize him isn't it interesting that jesus could step into your circumstances and walk with you but because you have no revelation because of your wrong perspective on a story you don't see him in your circumstances you don't seem with you you say well i i i can't i can't do that because i've done this before you don't know the story oh wait how many times have you built on your own story how many times the devil told me you're not worthy so let me let me get a big bit of history because i keep telling it and people keep missing it in 2000 uh well a long to everybody say back then because because you know everything you say can and will be held against you in church and the court of law let me show you something so a while ago i went through a horrible i won't tell you about before the divorce i want to go back to the beginning i will take you even further back can i do that this story i got i met i met a person a young lady in germany and we were good friends and we ended up dating and i ended up getting saved we both got saved we went to the church because we hung out together all the time the church says to me you all need to get married what what wait what because you can't be together because let your good be evil you all know this scripture and so so we end up now nothing in me i said to her no we shouldn't do that i don't think it's right but we did because we were submitted and the people were submitted to were good people still they're good people everybody say good people say it out loud practice saying because some of you don't say that enough say they're good people okay because you know but they gave us wrong so check this out and i'm gonna tell your partner you've never heard it i i remember going flying back from germany to the united states to get married standing upstairs looking out the window the day of the wedding rehearsal and everything inside me says get you a cab and catch the plane and leave up out of here don't do this you're gonna regret watch this but but but i was i wanted to please god let me talk about pleasing god for a moment if you believe that god is only pleased with you when you do things that they think is right ah throw your curveball then you don't have a real relationship with god see relationship your relationship with people begins with your relationship with god what actually begins with your relationship with yourself because if you tell yourself the truth you need the lord and if you watch this now and when you need the lord and you have a relationship with god now you can see where people fit into your life i'm not blaming anybody i was dumb wasn't hurt was me wasn't hurt was me stayed for a long time towards the end it got excruciating so dummy here instead of taking down the tent and doing it right i blew it up people are gonna be like no no you don't understand i don't care what people say about me the story my story is deeper than what they say i was dumber than they think i was crazier than they think i was way way out they don't they have no but here's the thing though you know you know y'all be playing i didn't do that no i did i did some stuff man i did some oh you know y'all [Music] okay wait y'all who in here say man you don't want to hear my story stand up to your feet that's you stand up say you don't want to hear my story look around the room i have walker listen i have awakened next to people going who that i don't even know who it was how did i even get here now listen now listen the reason i'm telling you this is because listen i'm about to say before jesus saved you he saw you he didn't come because he thought he could be he came because he knew we couldn't make it without listen we were we are all sentenced to death we were we were our judgment before god was to go to hell and i think i think we forget i think we forget i think we forget that to be saved when i say i'm saved that's not the full phrase the phrase is to be saved from the wrath of god to come you're not just saying you're saved from the wrath of god to god see see so i wanna i wanna and i'm gonna be honest with you for your sake and for the sake of the people you know when you when you when you stand before the people of god you want to be able to say man i've i had a preacher tell me one time he says i've never never taken a drink never gotten high i've never done this never done that because i was a virgin when i got married and when i when he got done when he got done my joke was i did this and i started and he said man what are you doing i said seem to me like you want to be worshipped two things one if you never did anything wrong then you don't need saving second thing is if you never did anything wrong then how can you have compassion for the people you minister to if god wanted angels to preach the gospel every sunday morning when we praise enough and we worship enough an angel could descend from the ceiling and levitate and preach the gospel and lies will be shocked and changed why do you choose people with stories not just that they have a story with ongoing stories that at any point anybody can reach back and say you i know what you did and they could even frame it the way they want to jesus is walking with these people they're so consumed in the story the bible says he asked him he said he said what is this dispute you're having with each other around along the way as you're walking and they stopped walking and looked discouraged the bible says the one named cleophus answered and said in verse 18 are you the only visitor in jerusalem who doesn't know the things that have happened here in the last few days jesus said what things and so they said to him the things and they're about to tell the story the things concerning jesus of nazareth here's their version he was a prophet powerful in action and speech before god that's all you saw a prophet who was powerful in action in speech he was the messiah in your midst watch this and they said and how our chief priests and leaders handed them over to be sentenced to death they condemned him and then they crucified in verse 21 but we are but we were hoping that he was the one who was about to redeem he had already given up on him we were hoping he was the one who redeemed israel besides all this it's the third day since these things happen now you said why is it critical as the third day two reasons number one he said he would raise or rise from the dead on the third day and another thing that's very interesting is that in israel the third day was the day of deaf definition or or something was definite after the third day for example when a person died they put them in a tomb and they would come around the tomb and mourn for three days after three days they left you know why because if nothing changed he good and dead that's that that's exactly you know that's exactly that's exactly what it was so everything is three days look notice the three-day patterns notice the three-day pattern of scripture jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights you keep going everything why because to the jews everything after three days it's final when god wants to do something that's why we say go on a three-day fast why because in three days god could shift the thing watch this so when they said so when they say to jesus they said besides all this it's already been three days since these things happened what they were saying to him is there's no reversing what just happened the story is the story is what the story is over the story's over the story's over i was laying in my bed in 2014 depressed depressed i was i was telling god i said i should have known better all of the stuff that ministry had accumulated to to touch the world and and we were touching people and i would show up and and when i i walked with an entourage of sometimes eight to ten men and i'm in the middle i'm striding and my whole mindset is what is the word of the lord people from the outside watching the story you say he's so arrogant look at it it was no arrows it was fear i used to walk into fear and trembling okay it was the word of the lord when they announced me to come to the pope everything in me shaking and i have to stand there and stabilize myself and get myself together because watch this because what you're dealing with is a person who's not only an introvert but i'm dealing with a shame history god does not call the strong of the he calls the weak and the foolish and i was among the weak and the foolish standing here and the lord what made me different was that i needed god the other guys i don't know if they did they were too good their gifts were so big and i came with this little gift and an accent and i was standing and i would feel when when when that thing shifted in me i could feel it and i was saying all preachers used to say i could feel my health that's say the teachers here i feel the teacher because all of a sudden the world would open up and my mind would change and i would start seeing words became colors to me i could see what the spirit of god is trying to say hey i got i was able to to be a like a letter in an envelope hide myself in him and then when he gets finished teaching i feel when he lifted for my closing i was in my bed so i said how did you do this and i kept saying to myself a citizen is over not only because i felt that god disqualified me but i said i'm done have you ever been in a place where you disappointed you so badly forget folk for a minute you disappointed yourself so badly you can't believe you did that or allow that and watch this and then you say you know what since god won't i'm gonna punish me when people tell you god loves you i'm gonna share something with y'all and this is crazy i'll just share with my wife i can get so there's three things there's the same spells there's shame spirals and shame seasons shame spells shame spirals and shame seasons shame spells shame spirals and shame seasons shame spells shame spirals and shame okay so i want to explain something to you whenever i got into a shame spiral that means i can't find grips whenever whenever i would get into that i i would i would get to the place where i would tell the lord i said you know what if someone said my name something in me would cringe to hear my name this was just just the mention of my elk cringe so when the lord by the time i show up now to and someone said i need you to help me and i sure by the time i show up to do anything for god you must understand god has repaired so many things on the inside of this man of god because i caught listen i'm only a man of god because god calls me his yes so what i'm so so we are fragile and i'm gonna tell you what the one the hardest thing is to hear people tell your story with no honor with no respect with just life taking bits and pieces of half throughs and making up the ugly and then that's not bad you know people are people evil as the days long but you know what gets me is when people present me judgment masquerading as instruction when people suppose they offer me judgment masqueraded as intercession they offer me judgment masquerade let me tell you what the lord says as prophecy because regardless how you dress it up a discerning heart knows what it is because if you've ever walked through a story where you're doing your best but not producing the best then what happens to you is you know you if you know anything else male what you do know is judgment i don't care what they call it you know what judgment feels like yeah so so i'm trying to get to the text to get to the teaching but we ain't going to do that today are we so the bible says they said well it's been the third day so the story is over the story is not say it out loud say the story is not over once you make a person say my story is not over you know one of the things we do is it's based on the pace of us our development we'll say that either this is going well it's not going well god has a sovereign right to interrupt your story at any time and insert difficulty for the sake of development god has the right to interrupt your story anytime insert difficulty for development watch this now and at times he will stand back and while you hold your breath and he will put his hand over you and let all these things happen and it will shift the way people see you and what he's doing is he's changing your value in the earth and when god is changing your value it hurts because the time that god has to downgrade you for the next thing to come see but we don't we don't believe this are you all here or you're just sleeping is it is this helping anybody did you just you're just listening are you just listening intently am i who am i speaking to okay watch this this is important this is critical watch he says i just terrified baby i don't know why i do that and the the disciples went on and said they said move over some women verse 22 from our group astounded us they arrived early at the tube and when they did didn't find his body they came and reported they'd seen a vision of angels who said he was alive this is the men are still speaking they said some of those were with us who were with us went to the tomb and they found it just as the woman had said they didn't see him so they're telling jesus the women came they had a vision of angel the angel told me he's not there they went they looked they came and told us we're gonna look he wasn't there and jesus for the first time begins to speak he says to them the king james says all foolish and slow of heart to believe the christian the holy christian bible cleans it up it says this how unwise slow you are to believe in your heart all that the prophets have spoken here's what he said didn't the messiah have to suffer these things and eventually enter into his glory then the bible says this listen to what it says then beginning with moses and all the prophets he interpreted for them the things concerning himself in all the scriptures and he interpreted he explained to them what he did he explained to them in every story in the many stories and symbols in the scripture and the signs and the seasons in the torah he says this is me here's what he did as jesus walked with them he pointed to he said you see this right here you don't know what that was talking about me and this right here and he was talking about me and when ezekiel saw the week he was talking about me and when when moses saw the bush it was me and these sacrifices it was me i'm the lamb and i'm the priest and i'm the temple i mean on the tabernacle and i'm the furniture in the temple as well i'm the bread i'm the light i'm the author of incense he's watch this he starts telling him i i am the scapegoat and the paschal lamb beginning at beginning at moses genesis and all the way to all the prophets he's going through and said that was me that was jesus and the bible says when they gave commentary on all this later on the bible says they said did not our hearts burn within us as he opened the story to us so there is a lot that we need to learn one of the hardest things to teach in church is doctrine because doctrine requires you to think and most of the time when we come to church with feeling it's a part of your story chapter of your story that would be so excruciating that all you know to do is feel and you're gonna have to make a decision whether you're gonna hide or keep going because there's nothing like but i'm telling you nothing builds character and imprint nothing disconnects you from people and pushes you to jesus like people looking you up and down listen there's nothing like people tethering you to a story that's not even yours my thing if you want to hear the bad stuff come ask me i'll tell you something you blow your mind but but we're so we but you know what we all do it we all do this we there's an evil propensity to to commandeer people's stories and create recreate the person in the image of the person they had one-on-one with so she's nothing but a blank and she's nothing but a when you say a person is nothing but you you what you're doing is you are actually insulting the spirit of grace you are insulting the spirit that that is that is responsible for our development you're saying that this person is nothing but they could never be anything else i'm here to tell you this right now i don't know what you're carrying in your bosom in terms of who you who you've been or or who you were or where you've been but i would tell you this right now you need to understand that the ongoing work of god will sometimes lead you through places don't you know all of us only know the value of the shadow of death there are many valleys in scripture and each of them are significant just like jesus said this was me and that's with me learn what the valleys mean study their names their values in the scripture that are trying to that are shouting to saying you need to study this because you're about to go through it listen to this in this in the scriptures this is a doctrinal statement there are types and shadows what does that mean pastor it means that what you see is not what god is saying so all you have to do is read no why would god put teachers in the body of christ all you have to do is read it and why do you presume because you're a prophet you don't need a teacher and because you're teaching what makes you think you don't need a prophet you don't understand how the body is structured together the bodies fit together because we need each other there are things in that book and you say well the bible has been changed and there's not the original books god has enough in the bible for you to live the life you need to live not only that god has left in the bible to bring you to him because jesus said you search the scriptures for them you think you have eternal life he said but the scriptures testify of me but you won't come to me so i could give you the life watch this the purpose of the bible is not the knowledge it's the life you get you get the knowledge it's like a sign the sign gets said go to jesus this way so i go out and talk to you and then he gives me life i said life adam gave us death and jesus gives us life the same way death works in you to bring you down and to make you desire things at a base life works in you to pull you up and to give you is this helping you so watch this now so i want to i want to read something jesus types is impossible to fully understand the scriptures jesus had to open the scriptures to matter of fact i want to read this i got to do this because i think i missed it right here he said after he said did the messiah have to suffer these things and enter into glory the bible beginning with moses and the prophets he explained to them all the things and when you read down for the rest of that chapter he walks with him he talks about it and then he he pretends like he's going to go further and he said no you could you stay with us and the bible said they had no revelation they didn't even know it was jesus they were so watched as consumed and absorbed by their own story that the lord had walked seven miles with them and didn't know it the lord is walking with you and you're still claiming you alone because you're so absorbed in your story in hebrews chapter 12 it says wherefore laid aside every weight and if you read the aramaic it says lay aside every wound lay aside every wound and the sin that so easily beset you and run with patience the obstacle course not the race the obstacle course i said before you race is a a test of speed obstacle courses are training for strength so this i'm not trying to run you god is training me he said watch this now he said looking unto jesus the uh who watches look at the in the greek the word for looking unto means look away from all your distractions to jesus when the noise get allowed and when the things get thick he said you need to look what am i looking for this is the thing many christians don't even understand their relationship with jesus that's why that's why we go around looking to feel things and our whole christian life is off the church is off because our relationship with jesus is simple he became everything for us there's nothing in you that god wants but jesus you hear me say it there's god does not want anything in you or anything from you if it doesn't come from jesus matter of fact the bible says because if any man be in christ he's a new creature right when you go out to verse 21 it says god made him to be sin for us who knew no sin so we may become the righteousness of the righteousness of god in him this this whole doctrine of of who we are is and that's why you you you're doing your best i want god i want to give you i'm going to give you more and in your story you're writing i'm going to do better i'm gonna make this resolution by the fourth quarter this year and god is watching you right and he's saying no the sentence that you have to write in your story is i needed jesus this morning watch this i i'm sitting at lunch now and people want to eat but i'm i didn't go to eat because i need jesus now so i've decided to fast my lunch why because i'm looking for jesus i go for dinner and i'm watching stuff but i can't watch that i can't wait because because i mean make sure that i can enjoy and laugh at what i'm watching but i need to keep attuned and connected to jesus your whole life is okay i've got some time left watch this so it's impossible to fully understand the scriptures if we don't understand what's called the types and shadows everybody said those words types say it out loud that is called biblical imagery so as let me tell you about young heart i'm listening to people preaching thinking how do you know that it's not in the bible i didn't see it in the bible and so i asked the older preacher i said what is this and he says types and shadows he said look it up so i went to the scriptures there it is types and shadows types and shadows skia and soma the greek words skia and soma skia skia and soma s-o-m-a susquia and so on and so i'm watching this i'm following these words and i realized wait a minute so some of this stuff is not literal so how do we how do we know which one's literal and which one's not that's how you that's why you need the holy spirit right but the bible is a prophetic book it's a picture book why would god use pictures because a picture is worth a thousand and some of y'all don't like to read right so watch it so so he shows you once you get the picture picture stick i can create things that don't exist for you in your mind by using just the right words the right words i like to play with people or how many of you know what a poodle looks like raise your hand a poodle a dog poodle your dog how many you know what a poodle is a pink poodle with black polka dots diamond grill platinum roller skates skating down the street dancing how many of you saw that how many you saw that when i was describing it you're saying this thing that don't exist but you saw it you saw it there is a me there's a video a reel on social media they said the word that you hear would be the word you look at how many people seen that and so it's either green needle or what's the other word there's a there's another word so so and as i tested it out i even looked away from the screen and thought it and it kept happening and i changed the word and it kept happening and i said what is this i with the lord is this demonic this is this is the devil i was casting the spirit out of tick tock and instagram watching and the lord says to me research it like you do everything so i started researching it and uh um a neurologist said here's how it works here's how it works number one the word that's been pronounced is distorted enough where you can't actually hear it the reason you only hear the word you look at is because your brain is designed by god to fill in the blanks just like an assumption so watch this if you don't understand this listen to what i'm saying if you don't understand this the devil could use your own mind against you in your story because if you don't know what the lord is really saying you think the lord is saying this and so when you read the scripture you think he's condemning you when he's inviting you watch this so and why is it coming from inside of you because your brain is filling in he's filling in the blanks he see the lord doesn't love me who told you that lie you think the lord doesn't love you because your brain is filled in the blanks i'm almost watch this i want to read something to you is this helping you how many of you ever tried that that thing i'm talking about i got grieved first i was laying my head on the computer that's not laying hands on me and i said maybe i don't have enough power let me get somebody else to lay hands on me but no it's just it's neurological it's something that happens on the inside so quickly i want to read this to you take note of this scripture colossians chapter 2 verse 16 and 17 listen to what i'm about to read paul is writing to the church in colossae greeks here's what he says so don't let anyone condem you for what you eat or drink listen to this i need to put a disclaimer here because you know some people tell you what we don't eat pork we don't eat shellfish he says don't let anybody condem you for what you eat or drink now let's talk about the drink part i don't need to know what's in your glass what i need to know here's what i need to know that you are not unwise enough to become a slave to that what i need to know is that you value the lord enough where you're not taking like you're not taking this thing and saying well the lord is going no no no no no you will you value your your your story enough because there were times where where i took a drink no no for real and it changed the west of the world if you're not the same character listen to what i'm saying if you're not the same character that you're supposed to be if your character changes when you consume what's in the glass put it down i just lost half the crowd i just lost i have the audience pastor i don't receive that it's for those of you that can receive it in jesus name watch this now no condemnation watch this he said don't let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink or for celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or sabbaths in the book of romans when he talked about it he said do you celebrate the sabbath if you want to he said there's no there's no law for you but watch this i want to show you something he says for the for these rules what rules sabbaths new moon ceremonies holy days what you eat he said these rules are only a shadow of the reality he said the reality is yet to come and christ himself is that reality here's what he's removed jesus told him he started in moses and through the prophets he said this is me that is me and here's what he says everything in the book and so that i'm going to end with something today i'll probably pick it up on touch point if i can i want to talk to you about the offering system so in the old testament god told moses to he called him up and he gave him the law everyone knows that moses received the law from god right but what we don't talk about is god also gave him a pattern called the tabernacle and he said to moses see to it that you build this into exact specifications don't change anything why listen to this word because it is a microcosm listen to that word what is a micro micro small chasm it's a it's actually uh um a relevant replica of something in heaven he says when you when you make it to these dimensions it will it will fit perfectly as a shrunk down version of what's in heaven what's in heaven is grander but in the earth because it's an earthy thing because it's an organic thing because it's not for it's not for viewing it's for saving he said what i want you to do is make it exactly so he says here's what you do he said make a fence tabernacle he said make a gate he said let's start with the door you're going to have you seen me teach this before he says there'll be a gate okay he says after the gate there's going to be a little house inside of the fence he said this this it calls the door he's going to be a door to get in when you get in there it's going to be really dark but in front of you is another thing called the veil the veil the door the gate follow me he says the the layout of it the material is important why because i'm telling a story listen to me i'm telling a story of redemption and this tabernacle is important because it represents someone when when nate when on balaam was called by king balak to curse israel the bible says that balaam stood upon a mountain to overlook them and when he looked down what he saw in israel was the way they were laid out it was it was the the tents were laid out on a law they were long then they came to the tabernacle then they went to this side and then from the middle they went short and then another and when when he looked down from the top what he saw was a cross but he didn't know what he was seeing all he said was the people of god are blessed he just he got as a prophet he got that message from god that's a blessed people why he saw cross if that were not enough sometimes joseph told pharaoh you had a dream and you had it twice which means that god god is serious about this is going to happen watch this so he said god says when you lay out the furniture laid out like this when you go through the gate in front of you is going to be the altar blood is going to be on this altar lambs are going to be sacrificed there the priests are going to be bloody he's about to clean them up before you go in the gate there's a laver like a bath like a uh what do you call it a sink that you wash in when you go inside the door to your right it's gonna be a table of show bread or unleavened bread where jesus is the bread of life on your left is gonna be a golden candlestick right to his left he said in front of you is going to be the altar of incest when you go in the veil it's going to be one article the ark of the covenant watch it from the ark of the covenant straight back to the art of incense out the door to the altar is one part and when you stand over here to the golden um light stand and you go straight across the table of shewbread and at the head of it the ark of the presence if you stand that up what is it a cross and if you and if you go and take israel's and lay out of their things and stand that up is another he was telling us the story the whole time so i want to i want to end with this i'm going to end with this i told you the definition so there's a difference between he says that there's types everybody say types and shadows is this too deep is it necessary watch this types and shadows the word skia s-k-i-a and soma skia and soma a skier a type it's a prototype it's an example it's a shadow or a foreshadowing of something that's real shadows don't bother us but sometimes they do a soma is the matter of fact the king james says christ is the body other translation said he's the reality so the word soma means the presence so you could see me on social media or see me on zoom and say i had no password you never met me zoom no i'll tell you what kind of corona i'm wearing you don't know what i like watch this so so there's a skier you see me summer you with me you see skier is is is of the example or or a prototype there's some have you ever seen a vehicle online go i got to get that vehicle and when you search it you find it's just a prototype they've never made a car like that to go in the street that's what it's called a skier in the bible there are a lot of skills there's a lot of examples shadows foreshadowings of something real the word somador is the body of the thing it's the reality of the thing if i say the reality of the thing say it again the reality of the thing it is the actual thing that's crossing the shadow now here's the problem with most of us you don't know what a shadow where shadow comes from if i was to ask you what's the shadow how do you define a shadow say it again that's the shadows okay so so so tell me this is right a shadow is a picture of something standing between the light and your eyes close so if you can have a shadow if there's absolute darkness it has to be light shining on a thing casting so so the light is shining from here the shadow ends up here and notice the shadow always looks bigger it's more distorted it's darker you don't really you really can't tell what it is so here's a funny story i once was staying with a couple um they put me in the room it was late when they said um your room is upstairs to the right i went upstairs to the right i went got myself together um had a bath in the room by the time i got in bed i hadn't noticed that it was a a coat hanger in the corner with a hat on it and a coat i didn't i didn't see it i didn't see it so i go into the room doc i went into the room i go to sleep and in the middle of the night it starts to rain so as the every time it lightens when the lightning flashes there's a man stay in the corner nah listen i don't mind fighting but i think he's like wait hold on hold on and the more and every time the lightning will flash it seems like it seems like he took on more features now i'm uncomfortable now i'm ready to fight so watch this and in flash one time i thought i was like a skull i stopped praying in tongues out loud i jump out and say come on over here i talked i ran over put the light on we're about to do it it's a so the the people whose house i was in they got nothing to do so you okay honestly yeah man i was having a i was having a spell man uh i said i had to pray the next morning i said dude why you put me in this room man he hollered here's the thing that's how we live our lives letting shadows scare us and here's the let me help you out jesus was able watch this a shadow can produce what you think is real matter of fact you know you know to move your hands you can produce different animals and stuff on a wall just using shadows but they're not real i want to leave you these scriptures my second closing the law with the priesthood and its systems and its sacrifices was all a shadow it was a shadow it's a shadow in the law listen i'm about to tell you take note of this there were five different major offerings there was a birth offering there was a grain offering there's a peace offering a sin offering and the last one was called a trespass or guilt offering there are five major offerings they each represent jesus in a different light from a different perspective listen i'm about to tell you it took these five major offerings to fully tell the story to reveal and to express the sufferings that jesus would experience for you for your story took five different offers for to express and to reveal and to show what jesus had to do to get you on track and to secure you so if you went through a bad patch in your in your story and you decide i can't do anything else his thing is it was never about you doing anything so if you ever got to a place where someone got a hold of your story and mishandled it or mistreated it that nothing that anyone does can destroy the story that's really being written by god because this is what you miss you have the pen but if you're in christ his hand is on your hand and the purpose of the holy spirit the reason the bible says the law whenever there's a law if there's dirty if there's a glass with dirty water right and and when the whatever's in the glass is in the bottom of the glass you could think the water is clean by looking at it right but if you took a spoon and stir it up you see it's that's what the law does and if you're trying to write your story legalistically and trying to say i do all the right things i dot the eyes and cross the t's you're stirring this you're stirring the water and your your life is always muddy but watch this but when the spirit when the holy spirit is leading your life i'm not go i'm not living by the law but i'm living by the direction of the holy spirit the holy spirit said don't do that because if you do that you'll stir the water and you know to go and he's helping you watching he's guiding you your steps are being ordered by him and and it comes down to this it comes down to god leading you you surpass you don't even know my story that's the thing i don't have to know your story i don't have to know it matter of fact it's better that i don't why so that when i minister to you the pure word of god you would know i'm not just trying to poke at your story now listen to this there are five sacrifices there are three minor ones to you that's not important for today but but there's only one that i want to leave you with you could play right here this is only one out of all the sacrifices one was different one was different now the last three the drink offering i think it was the drink offering the wave offering and the ordination offers all minor sacrifices but out of all the major ones the last one the guilt offering everybody the guilt offering the guilt offering it's an interesting offering and wherever you see many times where it talks about jesus of dying for our sins the word there is the word for guilt because here's the thing about forgiveness right if a person wrongs you listen to one about to tell you if a person wrongs you and you forgive them the wrong it doesn't change what you went through i tell you i agree babies i don't know why i do i got this thing y'all when you're in a seat for your pastor pray for that the babies will like me they just don't i think i talked bad about babies back in the day and this the baby's spirit gets back so it is annoying babies we don't like him so watch this it was what's important was critical about this i'm trying to pick it up to shorten it the guilt offering says that god doesn't just forgive you of the act of sin he forgives you of the guilt of sin but it doesn't just go there i'm going to end today's lesson with a a cursory reading of leviticus chapter six actually chapter the end of chapter five in chapter six and i want to read it slow enough for you to hear it because this is this is the offering and if you if your eyes are open you will hear what the lord is saying and here's what i want to show you just want to show you the reason that god asks you and i to forgive people even the people that don't do horrible things to us is because when we employ the guilt offering for people when we pull on jesus as the guilt often to forgive others we validate that we believe he was the guilt offering for us i said again forgiveness is not about forgiving the act it's forgiving the person of the guilt i don't hold you guilty anymore although you having to live and when you walk away i'm going to show you in the scripture real quick i'm done i wish i had more time to finish this i'm going to read two scriptures here's here it is it says first in isaiah 53 verse 10 yet it was the will of the lord to crush him he was because he has put him to grief i'm reading the english standard bible when his soul [Music] when he is when his soul makes an offering for guilt the king james says sin but the word is guilt he shall see his offspring he shall prolong his days the will of the lord shall prosper in his hand here's what it means it means that when jesus went to die as the guilt offering what he intended to do will be done say that say that with me say what he intended to do out loud what he intended to do has been done and applied to my story now let me show you this he said the will of the lord shall press push in his hand out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied listen to this by his knowledge of my righteous one this is god speaking about jesus shall my righteous one my servant made many to be accounted righteous listen did you hear that he said i don't say what jesus did would make it where i could i could account for them as righteous he didn't say you were you know a lot of us your story's still being written he said but when jesus did finishes he finalizes what he's supposed to do i'll be able to sit back on my throne and count these people as righteous because of what he did and he said why for he shall bear the iniquity of my people he's going to take this sin and and the guilt and when he does that i'll be able to forgive them watch this as i guilt often jesus paid the death that was old with the necessary there's a word i want to say here but i'm going straight to the text and i'll be done here's the text leviticus chapter chapter 5 verse 14. listen to this the lord spoke to moses saying listen to this don't miss this this is the last part this is the conclusion have you ever read a book and got to the end and go okay i think i was going in no there is in this ending what do you call that thing a turn a plot twist there is in this um story i'm about to read in this explanation a plot where everybody said plot twist and if you hear all this teaching and don't take it for yourself if it's just knowledge to you how sad is that listen to this the lord spoke to moses saying if anyone commits a breach of faith and sins unintentionally sins unintentionally in any of the holy things of the lord he shall bring to the lord as his compensation a ram without blemish out of the flock valued in silver shekels according to the shepherd of the sanctuary for a guilt offering wait he said anyone commits a breach of faith unintentionally he said pastor that's a problem my sins aren't unintentional now something's gonna be revealed to you do you remember when jesus was on the cross before he died what did he say father forgive them for they why did he say that wait let's examine that in the story that was developing they knew exactly what they were doing the roman soldiers knew that priests knew everybody knew why would he say that he had to say that over them he he used a loophole to say father don't he said this is this is unintentional what they're doing they don't know they don't know what we know father listen it's unintentional forgive them why they don't know what they're doing what i'm like why would you set it no let him let god get him no he had to do that why because only by saying that they didn't know what they were doing did they qualify for the guilt offering [Music] only by saying they don't have a revelation they're under the influence they don't know what they're doing jesus was pleading for god apply the gift offering to them when stephen was dying he said father lay not this sin to that charge what is he doing applying the guilt offering i'm going to show you this here's what he says does that that's not the twist but that's a good one look at verse 16. verse 16 says he shall also make restitution here's the difference between the guilt offering and every other offering the guilt offering is the only offering where restitution and restoration was required every other sacrifice every other sacrifice that was made it was just you kill a lamb you burn it up you go home but in the in the guilt offering there was a requirement he says this he shall make restitution for what he has done a miss in the holy thing and he shall add the fifth part or 20 to it i don't like this i want to i want to ah here it goes let me switch real quick because it's gonna take forever as if it's not long enough [Music] can y'all tell i enjoy this listen to this okay i'm getting i've got to get to one translation i can read fast because that thing's weird me out all right here it is he said okay i'm reading new living translation verse 18 leviticus five for guilt offering you must bring up the priest your own ram with no defects or you may buy one of equal value through this process the priest will purify you from your unintentional sin but i know i was doing but jesus said you didn't making you right with god and you will be forgiven this is a guilt offering for you have been guilty of an offense against the lord chapter 6 verse 1 then the lord said to moses suppose one of you sins against your associate and is unfaithful to the lord suppose you're cheating the deal involving a security deposit or steal or commit fraud or you find lost property and lie about it or you lie while swearing to tell the truth or you or you commit any other such sin if you have sin in any of these watches you are guilty you're what guilty he said you must get back whatever you stole or the money you took by extortion or the security deposit or the lost property you found or anything obtained by sweden foster you must make restitution listen to this here's the plot twist you have to make restitution by paying the full price plus an additional 20 percent of the person that was harmed on the same day you must present a guilt offering as a guilt offender to the lord you must bring to the priest your own ram with no defects you may buy one of equal value you want to for 30 pieces of silver i just okay through this process the priest will purify you uh before the lord making you right with him and you'll be forgiven of any sense here's the thing so you say pastor why is this important in psalm 69 jesus said something that blew my mind he said i want to find it he said let me see can i find this here it is he says the psalm 16 verse 4 they hate me without cause they that hate me without cause are more than the heroes of my head here's what he said that this they would that would destroy me being my enemies wrongfully almighty and then he said this then i restored that which i took not away jesus speak this is a messianic sound and i want to end with this that's what jesus said he said he said he's describing his death he said they hate me without a cause i didn't do anything to them they got me up on this cross and i'm dying and as we said and then because of what they did to me i had to restore i had to pay restitution for the thing i didn't take what is he saying i was dying as a guilt offering so let me tell you how it translates for you for every wrong done to you by anyone if you acknowledge that jesus is your guilt offering it works two ways number one whatever when jesus jesus died for them like he died for you so whatever they owe you whatever they took from you the hunk of flesh they got from you the lord said if you look to me and not to th at them i will give you back what they took back from you plus 20 no no i'm not making this up it's in the scripture the guilt often says that restitution has to be paid that's why russia if somebody wrongs you the problem in our lives when people wrong us we focus on them we put our attention on them and we don't look to the lord who is our guilt offering if i look to him and say father thank you that you forgave me for all the wrong i've done you forgive them for all the wrong they've done now look to you for restitution and let god decide how the restitution will be paid let god make up let god say this the way i want it let god say this the way it's going to turn out [Music] but you can't just you can't just employ the guilt offering when you want it it has to be a constant thing working in your life it has to be you know what i forgive you why because jesus is the guilt of the guilt offering he's my guilt offering he's your guilt offering you do anything to me the lord got me i do anything to you the lord got you that's the way the guilt often work the problem is we see the shadow but not the reality of it how many people have wronged you hurt you and you're still waiting for them to get theirs while waiting for god to give you yours it doesn't work like that everybody lift your hands to jesus real quickly say these words out loud say lord i trust you as my sacrifice you are every sacrifice in the old covenant made real to me my story is being written by your grace and your goodness everything that you did was on my behalf i am a believer in your finished work you are my guilt offering thank you lord that my sins are forgiven that my past is wiped away that my presence has been my presence is being developed that my future is bright i declare in jesus name that my story is not over that my story is not over that my story is not over i thank you in jesus name that you are the god that finishes what you started i praise you god uh that you will perfect that come on that you will perfect that that concerns me thy mercy endures forever forsake not the work of their old hands i praise you god and i thank you that i will look forward with grace to the next chapter in my story bless him out loud if you believe that's true jesus hallelujah father we praise you thank you lord god you're the finisher thank you that you god are the one that's writing our story and we're not going we're not going to do an invitation so much today um we're going to invite people to the lord we're not going to do me alter ministry per se but i don't want you to throw this word away today's a teaching sunday how many of you receive something from the lord in that word today take it with you there's more to it take it with you you are forgiven and your your life your life means something to god amen amen amen amen amen to god be the glory to god be the glory to god be the glory he is rewriting our story now there are some that may be out there and said you know what i did this i did that god is rewriting all of our story you are forgiven beyond what you have done you are forgiven beyond what you have caused he has mercy and his mercy endurance forever his mercy endured forever if you're in a place where you said i want to get to know this jesus because he's the ultimate sacrifice he's the ultimate sacrifice that connect us back to the father he is our ultimate sacrifice to eternal life we just don't live to live we live to live again those that in christ we live to live again and if you want to make jesus your lord and your savior come now come now come now or if you're in a place you know what i turned away i turned away what i thought i knew i saw my mama my daddy worshiped this jesus i i heard about this jesus but i just turned away because i just want to follow my own ways just this morning god is still correcting just me with his love his correction his love i was in the middle of an accident and my daughter been telling me for weeks mama you're driving too close mama you're driving too close but i ignored that i did my own thing i kept driving the way i wanted to drive but this morning i got that correction of love and i rammed in the back of someone no one was hurt i didn't get a ticket because his mercy endures forever but it was a correction because he loved us so it don't matter what
