we thank you for that love just thank you for that love that found you in a broken place and healed in set you on the right path change your heart gave you a new life and brand-new life the oldest passed away we hold all things and we thank you for that thank you for that laughs thank you you know many of you watching maybe you never knew your earthly father maybe you feel abandoned by your earthly father maybe maybe there's a piece of you down deep to the depths of your being maybe you didn't even know this but there's a one there there's an emptiness vision of the Lord and of people that's been framed by the fact that you don't know a good father you don't know what a good father looks like [Music] that really changes everything you have a Father in heaven maybe you're wondering what is he like what Jesus said he said if you've seen me you've seen the father don't you know that I am in the father and the father is in me I and the father are one I want to I want to pray for you want to pray for you tonight you know all that the nation's all that the world is going through everything negative you can find its root in the fact that there's no relationship with God or father and so I feel the invitation tonight to invite you to the arms to the feet of this loving father the Bible says that we can approach the throne of grace with boldness not with pride with boldness in other words knowing that the veil has been torn and the door was always open and so I want to pray for you right now if you didn't know your father if you feel abandoned by your father if you feel deeply wounded by your father this is for you prophetically that the Lord would touch you now wonderful Holy Spirit I ask that you would deeply touch everyone everyone who's suffering [Music] from a broken relationship with their father or from a relationship that's non-existent with their father I pray that you would fill that gap and that forgiveness will flow tonight I want to encourage all of you to as the Lord's love comes in I want to encourage you to let your father go and refuse to penalize him with your own unforgiveness which is really impossible we we can't penalize them we're the ones who are penalized when we hold on let go tonight show mercy and grace to your earthly father so our Heavenly Father will show mercy and grace to you Holy Spirit fill all the brokenness and heal it let them know they belong to you a good father a faithful father to the fearful tonight let the peace of our Heavenly Father flood their life and the turmoil let the peace of our Heavenly Father feel them forgive us for not trusting you Lord thank you Jesus thank you Father you know I was just in a Colorado with some leaders and friends and ministry leaders and one night we went out back we had in this house we were at like 10,000 feet elevation it was tough to breathe we had eat and then we went we went outside and there's no ambient light you know because I think we were like seriously about an hour from the nearest grocery store I think at least I felt that way and when you're at that elevation and there's no cloud cover and there's no ambient light the stars are incredible like I I've never seen they like it and it's like John like from Horizon to Horizon it looks like there's not an inch between them and you can just see the sky painted with the most beautiful it looks like shining powder just filling the sky and you see all the different constellations and the North Star and I think one of the planets they were visible that night and just amazing and when we got out there and we we got under that sky and looked up you know like grown men well-known leaders and women laid on their backs on the back porch and just like little kids looked up and to see the majesty of the Lord and I felt I felt the Lord to speak to me so clearly he says you know you think I can handle this kovat thing like yeah I think so you are so beautiful anything I can handle all the trouble though racial unrest the anger the animosity the confusion you think I can handle it all and I'm looking and I'm thinking wow you're the goddess spoke this and you know I love I love fishing so I've been out on the water and had some pretty beautiful nights where I've looked up and seen but I mean I never saw anything like what I saw and it was enough to bring tears your eyes it was amazing and to think that the Sun is like one of the smallest of the stars and to think that they're like light-years away and the Lord did all of that to proclaim the fact that he loves us that his son is king of kings and Lord of lords it's amazing tonight your father is tender you need to know he's loving but he's also majestic he is also the creator of everything he spoke everything into existence he can handle you he can protect you he can secure your family and he longs to tonight so father in Jesus name reveal your majesty tonight above all else above every voice above everything that's screaming down here on earth I pray that the vision of your grand Majesty would eclipse it all in Jesus name and let us hear your voice tonight amen amen amen I think we just worship for a long time praise God praise God well I want to thank you for joining us tonight and also want to invite you to share this feed if people are watching from all over the world if you're watching on Facebook share it now go ahead and I want to give you a second to do that if you're watching via YouTube I want you to copy and paste the link share it on your social media text it to your friends tonight I'll be teaching out of the eight Beatitudes are you sticking around good I have a feeling John's gonna minister a little more I just feel that my spirit but we're gonna give here in just a moment and as you know we've been listening to pastor Robert Morris it's so incredible as a church family to as a Worldwide Church family to listen to these incredible teachings that I believe the Lord it is ordained these for this hour remember when you are part of the kingdom of God you serve a more powerful and secure kingdom than the nation's than the economies of the world then the systems of the world and I want you to understand that it's vital now that we walk in to what the Scriptures teets regarding our resources so we're gonna go to pastor Robert here in just a second and then I'll be right back don't go anywhere let's be faithful tonight let's listen to them pastor Roberts teaching I'll see you in just a second Deuteronomy 15 look at verses 7 and 8 if there is among you a poor man of your brethren within any of the gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you notice God's giving you the land by the way notice we're giving you shall not harden your heart it's about your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother but you shall open your hand wide to him and willingly that would be about your heart lend him sufficient for his need whatever he needs beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart notice heart again saying the seventh year the year of releases a hand and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing and he crowd to the Lord against you and it become sin among you you shall surely give to him give to him and your heart should not be grieved when you give to him because for this thing watch for this thing giving with the right heart the Lord your God will bless you in all your works that's amazing and in all to which you put your hand if you learn to give from the heart with the right heart God will bless you and everything you do that's what he just said see we need to understand this is a heart issue but selfishness attacks us before we give and grief attacks us after we give you ever given a large amount or made a commitment and then something breaks and the enemy comes immediately say see he shouldn't have done that he comes in and then grief because we gain and you know I'm sitting here Here I am preaching this message and I had this thought just go through my mind and after 30 years of preaching how to know - just let the thought go and by but here's the thought ahead I just thought to myself I'm going out to eat after the service and and I don't I don't have any cash I just had that thought just go through my mind you know I'm just now look $100 sir okay I'm gonna start saying those thoughts more often okay no let's let's talk about that for me all right why when I said I don't have any cash why did they even get up that fast and give it to me let me tell you why because I gave it to him before the service it's $900 getting out he's not grieving that he gave yeah you're not grieving oh you're little huh no he's not grieving because why because it was mine see see the reason that we grieve after we give is because we thought it was ours and the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof so when we give back to God what is already his then we don't grieve over it so the old the graveyard here's number three develop a generous heart develop a generous heart look at verse 14 you shall supply him liberally generously from your flock watch from your threshing floor and from your wine press now watch this from what the Lord has blessed you with you shall give to him God wants us to be generous we were born selfish we are born again generous we just have to renew our minds you think about it you really want to be generous now we we read Luke 6 a moment ago if we were to go back and read the context again and back up a little more and we're not going to do that right now but you can do that you go back to around verse 30 here's what it says give to everyone who asked of you and from him who takes your coat giving this to and it's yourself whole context is Lynde it's people even hoping not to receive anything in rich burn what he's doing is dealing with the heart it's the it's the first thing we have to try to teach our children I want you to think about that what do you have to try to teach your children that is so hard to teach your children share share know we share and what happens a little neighbor boy comes over to play and the neighborhood picks up a toy what is your boy do drops the toys play with runs over and says I flame with that I was playing with that right and the neighbor boy so okay so he goes there and picks up something else is that your boy runs over I was playing with that two guys flame that too do you realize what God is saying to all of his children when are you gonna grow up when are you gonna grow up when you gonna become like your father that's so love that he gave so powerful mine do I love pastor Robert he's such a blessing I want to read this scripture to you turn your Bibles to Malachi three you've heard this probably thousands of times but I really believe this is a word in season turn to Malachi 3 verse 10 the Bible says bring all the tithes into the storehouse that there may be food in my house and try me now in this says the Lord of Hosts if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it then that wonderful but this is really the verse that I felt was for you tonight and I will rebuke the Devourer for your sakes so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field says the Lord of hosts and all nations will call you blessed for you will be a delightful land says the Lord of hosts now if you were to ask me right now Michael are you are you anxious about what's taking place economically about all of the change about what's happening in the world what's happening in America the fluctuation and the markets and how quickly we've seen over the last few months things can shift the answer would be I am I am concerned for people I am a heart and broken for people for families who who are going through difficult times right now you might be one of them listening to me it's I am I'm I like in my heart I'm grieved but if you would ask me am i anxious for myself for my family for our ministry no I'm not at all I'm not anxious because I believe the Scriptures I believe the Word of God is the word of God that it is eternal it's forever settled in heaven now this is what the word says I want you to put verse 11 back on the screen please it says I will rebuke the Devourer for your sakes I'm at peace i I don't believe that that the kingdom is subservient to the fluctuations of the world I believe the Devourer has been rebuked over my life over over the ministry and over your life I believe that because the Bible teaches us and I and and we need in this moment the Devourer to be rebuked over our businesses over our over our ministries over your family over your job over your your future and the Lord promise is to do that the Bible says here bring all the tithes into the storehouse that there may be food in my house try me now in this if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it I believe that for you I believe that for Jesus image I believe that for all of the mission missionaries we support and ministries we support the Jesus image gives away hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to two ministries and missions and and churches and it's our joy to do it I believe I believe the Lord is faithful to protect and shield and not only shield and protect but to do what he did for Isaac that there would be a multiplication in our lives even when there's famine in the land so that we can bless those who need help and so that the gospel can go to the nations of the world so I want to invite you tonight step into the promises of God tonight I just read them be a faithful tither that's the first tenth of your income and if Jesus image has been a blessing to you if it's blessed your life it has been a consistent storehouse it's been a church family to you and invite you give tonight be a tiler if you're part of another local church you need to tide there you need to be a faithful faithful tither notice I'm not just saying giver because the tithe is really not up for discussion it's not a mystery it's not even a matter of being led it's in the scriptures it's our first 10th it's the first 10th of our entire increase I teach our kids Jessie and I we ties off of our gross income and I want to invite you to do the same thing and I can say this and I will believe I'll be able to say this to my children I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging for bread if this ministry has blessed you and you do attend another local church it would be such an honor if you would consider tonight giving giving an offering so that we can continue to bless the nation's with this live feed with all Jesus images doing around the world all of the amazing Jesus loving fire brands that are being raised up at Jesus school what's happening here in Orlando has been nothing short of miraculous and we believe soon and very soon as the Lord delivers us from this this covered situation that soon and very soon venues and stadiums will fill all around the world that's what we're believing for in faith so I love you if you like to give tonight you can give by text to give right there just text the word give 2 3 2 1 3 2 0 80 40 that's 3 2 1 3 2 0 80 40 the information is right there on the screen if you'd like to give by check let's just put that up very

what's the difference the difference is giving directly to Jesus that's what makes the offering holy giving to the Lord Himself so let's pray right now father in the name of Jesus we offer our resources to you and so I pray in Jesus name that everyone giving tonight would be blessed your favor would rest on their business their homes their churches their ministries that there'd be

well thank you John I love you so so wonderful take your Bibles if you would and I I did uh you know but at the end of the livestream tonight I'm gonna run a Jesus school video I feel like there's people watching really need to consider coming it is an intense but wonderful discipleship program and I'm believing that thousands and thousands and thousands of students will be released to the nations of the world and even the cities of America that that God would literally show like leaven like the kingdom is like leaven that it would in that it would move throughout the entire lump of the nation's and that the love and power of Jesus would be manifested throughout the nation's through our students so I'm believing tonight that some of you will deeply consider coming to Jesus school you know what you want if we have that ready now let's let's get that ready I'm gonna teach tonight on the Beatitudes and Michael are you on if you would just let me know when the videos ready we'll run that but I do want you to take your Bibles to Matthew five where are we ready to run it while they're getting that video ready I want you to take your Bibles to Matthew chapter five good and let's run that video for those of you who are considering Jesus school here in Orlando Florida you will not regret it let's run that video guys [Music] today he who hung the earth upon the waters hangeth on a tree he is struck on the cheek by hands that he formed the king of angels is decked with a crown of thorns show us also your glorious resurrection [Music] before whom all things tremble let us worship this Jesus he is the gospel he is the he's the perjure he's the here's the name he's the father's will he is the tabernacle he here's our lamps [Music] he is our life he is he is scriptures authors scriptures and scriptures point trips Spitzer's glory is scripture in a body he is alpha freedom he is he is the son of God [Music] man that video gets me going every time if you're interested you can jump on Jesus school dot TV can go right there to the website if you'd like to apply and just check it out it is just so special it's really not about the instructors though the instructors are world changers it's really about the abiding presence of Jesus that is just so real so consistent and so beautiful there at Jesus school so if you are thinking about coming visit the website we would love to talk to you love to have you all right take your Bibles to Matthew chapter 5 let's continue with the Beatitudes I touch on Jesus being seated and speaking so Matthew 5 verse 1 says and seeing the multitude he went up on a mountain and when he was seated his disciples came to him so last week we talked about the difference between Jesus and the world today the peace of Jesus the fact that he seeded the fact that he he is not anxious the fact that Jesus is not stressed the fact that he's not worried that that the Lord himself in his enthroning in his seating and that posture it speaks so many things again Jesus teaches the Beatitudes from a mountain Moses receives the law on the top of Mount Sinai so I believe and other theologians would tell you also that this the fact that Jesus is here on the Mount of Beatitudes is saying something that there is a a new law a higher a better covenant this is a more glorious covenant this is the the law of my people this it's the Magna Carta the Constitution of the Christian and something that is concerned me over the years is the that there are thousands if not millions of Christians who do not know the Beatitudes yet we know so much and and my concern is that the the ways the perspectives the agenda the strategies of the world have found their way into the church and replaced the basic teachings of Jesus and that's that's that's a that's a problem in the church and it's a problem the Lord can fix it's a problem the Lord wants to fix but unless we we admit the fact that it's an issue it's difficult to allow the Lord to come in and fix it so I want you to think about all of the the agendas the strategies the lifestyle prescriptions that the church is ingesting that are completely contrary to the Beatitudes and you know a few weeks ago two weeks ago John wilds and I were here together I obviously still here but he was up on the platform with me and I didn't tell him that that he was gonna come up and just shocked him a little bit divided him up there he looked man he like now I'm like yeah come on so we were talking about who's we are this is so important we have to determine who we belong to and if you're a Christian as I said last week you don't own you you don't belong to you we don't even have the right to determine our own rules as believers we do not now the world the world the the ways of the world and I read Psalm chapter two last week about breaking off the bonds of the Lord himself in other words once when you are not connected to the Lord and submitted to him it is natural to want to plot away and plan your whole life and you create your own perspectives your own morals your own agenda and all of it all of it is yours but when you come to Jesus and you call Jesus Lord and every Christian has declared Jesus as being Lord or you cannot be a believer without declaring the fact that he is Lord and believing that once we do that I think we need to realize what we're saying we are saying Jesus own me you have purchased me with your own blood I am completely yours so you call the shots in my life and even if what you are inviting me into is completely contradictory to what the world is advising to what I feel like doing in my own heart how I feel like fixing a problem how I feel like addressing a problem how I feel like leading my family what marriage looks like what forgiveness does or doesn't look like what vengeance looks like what retribution looks like what what a good life does or does not look like the moment I confess Jesus as being Lord he sets the standard with his life inward and so before we jump into the Beatitudes it's important to realize that this is the posture this is this should be the backdrop the very essence of how we receive the Lord Lord this is your word and it Trump's all so my question is why don't we know the Beatitudes why don't why doesn't the church addicted to the words of Jesus to Matthew 5 6 and 7 the Sermon on the Mount probably the greatest sermon ever preached this is who we are I was my dad and my mom were over at the house today we were celebrating my mom's birthday and my dad was in the military and I was reading to my father the Navy SEAL creed and it's incredible just the level of commitment the level of focus the level of self-denial that these incredible men give their lives to how much more should a follower of Jesus yield and give their lives to the words of the Lord this is our Creed and I believe in the Creed's of the church I don't think there's anything wrong with knowing the Creed's of the church it's not a problem at all it's a wonderful thing I believe in good theology but I do want to say we we need to get back to the simple words and read the simple words of Jesus I also want to say I want to invite you into doing your own study as to what society was like when Jesus preached what he preached here many of us feel like sometimes we believe that Jesus just showed up came into the world when things were perfect well saviors show up when things are not perfect I want to invite you to do it just study do a historical study on what Israel was like what was Galilee like what was life like for Israel in those days and then allow the words of Jesus to be preached to your heart understanding where he preached from what the scenario was like what he was facing many people are afraid right now maybe you are maybe you don't have answers maybe the problems of the world seem much bigger than what you are capable of fixing I want to say you're absolutely right the issues and the nations are bigger than all of us they're bigger than than the natural skill set the natural so-called wisdom of men we need the words of Jesus so if Jesus would speak these words in such a trying brutal in his nation how much more do we need the words of Jesus today so in verse one last week we discovered that Jesus was seated and his disciples came to him let me just say this closing out verse one never forget this if you want Jesus to teach you you have to come to Jesus just gonna take a moment and let that one settle in if you want Jesus to teach you you have to come to Jesus so Jesus does not teach us via a long distance relationship back in the day we used to make collect calls good enough remember collect calls John you always get a collect call from a friend you didn't talk to it click John say just just hang up on him Jesus isn't he's not into making these long-distance calls he's he's not into texting us communicating with us indirectly to hear from the Lord we must come to the Lord so they came to him verse 2 when he opened his mouth and taught them saying so here we see the fact that the word of Jesus comes from his mouth as my friend Eric Gilmore so beautifully says his words flow from his mouth and his mouth is in his face if we want to hear his words we need to seek the face of God verse 3 let's get started blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven now verse 3 and verse 10 are the book ends of these well actually verse 3 and verse 11 are the book ends of the promises well verse 12 I should say but I want you to notice that verse 3 and 10 both carry the promise of the experience of a kingdom of heaven I want to focus on verse 3 tonight being poor in spirit you're gonna discover as we go through these Beatitudes that gentleness softness lowliness willingness to be persecuted these are the fields this is the nature this is the the for lack of a better term the vibe of the Beatitudes and you're gonna discover as we go along that this way of life which is impossible by the way outside of the Lord Himself that this way of life is an invitation some teach that this is impossible but no no this is an invitation into the very nature of Jesus himself we are being invited in to the way Jesus is the way he lived his life on earth and the very posture of his heart today maybe you're like no I don't I don't think Jesus is this way anymore he's been raised from the dead for instance possibly you could use verse 10 to think that way blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake know Jesus isn't like that anymore he's not persecuted anymore oh he sure is according to Jesus himself on the road to Damascus and Saul's conversion account this is post resurrection post ascension post enthronement post coronation this is post Pentecost Jesus tells Saul Saul Saul why do you persecute me why does he say that because he's married he was married to his church and the church was being persecuted so Jesus sees no chasm between us and him when we give our lives to him to him the Bible says he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with the Lord therefore the Scriptures teach us that to persecute the church is to really persecute Jesus himself but Jesus says blessed are those who are persecuted so you're gonna discover here that the world and the word the world and the ways of Jesus they are going to be completely at odds and we just need to settle in and finally digest this truth that they forever will be so let's get back to being poor in spirit what does it mean to be poor in spirit does this what is this referring to it's not referring to being impoverished it's not referring to social poverty this is referring to the poverty of spirit now what what what does that mean listen to the poor in spirit I'll tell you blessed are the hungry the those who are internally impoverished those who realize they are empty without God the opposite of that heart posture is but know-it-all spirit and I've discovered and we're discovering as a team as we lead the school man people are people you know people have problems they have issues they have weakness they they struggle with certain chains and bondages and all that but I'll tell you the one thing that that were the the caution lights they just start the sirens you start to go off someone who comes into an environment thinking they have just got it all figured out being poor in spirit is the opposite of that being poor in spirit is the heart that says if I don't have Jesus now if I don't have the Jesus you're preaching the Jesus of a community of people the Jesus of the people that I'm not even sure I understand but I clearly see him on them I need that Jesus 24/7 or I'm gonna die inside I need Jesus to touch me today or I feel like I'm gonna die that's what it means to be poor in spirit I need Jesus now and sometimes the Lord decides to hide himself in the lives of people that we don't understand I don't understand y'all wild subjects [Laughter] you know sometimes the Lord just wraps himself hides himself in people that are a little different than us it takes Christian maturity to read through those differences and see Jesus on them joy Dawson told me years ago honor what is of God and every man or woman and you'll live a life of honor people every person in the world is worthy of some level of Honor because they've been created in the image of God when you're poor in spirit you begin to be less judgmental less critical you're not dumb you don't just listen to everything they say it's healthy to listen am i hearing the scriptures here is this the truth of the word of God am i m-i is this solid Christian I'm not telling you to submit your life to teaching that is completely anti-bible no today more than ever people are being deceived the church is being deceived now for many many reasons this isn't the time for the church to inherit the system's the ways of this world this age so I'm not saying that at all but I am saying if somebody's a little different than you can you see Jesus on them if they voted different than you can you see Jesus on them if their skin is a different color than yours can you can you see Jesus on them if their culture is a little different than yours can you see Jesus there you come into a Greek house like I grew up in a normal dinner most people think we're arguing leave we're not arguing we're just talking so we're not yelling we're just talking if we're just talking it sounds to us we're whispering that's just just how it is I told you guys - my mom had a heat-seeking a ballistic sandal that she could throw it turned corners chase you down it was a highly technical technologically advanced you know we man my golf tournaments growing up it looked like a parade we all just showed up my grandmother would bring feta cheese and in Tupperware's to golf tournaments I'm not joking and whip it out and people who didn't understand would smell it and all the garlic the oregano the lamb the the whole deal a little different that can made some people uncomfortable on the golf course probably did I'm sure it did can you can you can you look at people and realize they're created value the poor in spirit do that they walk into an environment they may not like the music they may not get the music but they feel God in the air and when the heart becomes matured and the mind is renewed the poor in spirit reach beyond the difference Poole that Jesus they know into their hearts it's important that's how the poor in spirit live I will never forget my first time in reading I'll never forget it I went this was years ago there was a guy worshiping in front of me and man he was trying to dance and it was so bad it was so bad I remember Steff was up there leading worship it was my first time hearing Stef lead and I was just like wow this is phenomenal but there was this one dude in front of me he was trying to dance before the Lord I'm sure the only one who liked it was the Lord possibly the Lord did it I don't know I'm like only Jesus could love what this guy was doing and I mean he did it the whole worship set I didn't know anyone in Redding back then and I just was sitting in the back I just grabbed any seat I could and this dude was right in front of me and his move was he was like twirling and I couldn't sing I couldn't do anything it was just crazy the way he and then I finally go it's pretty bad the way he's dancing but this is a physical feat I mean he this dude is spinning for an hour his voice was off-key it was just bad now that you have to remember I flew all the way from Orlando going to Redding from Orlando is more difficult I'm not joking to go from Orlando to London it's a much shorter trip to London total travel time because of the layover than the driving John's done I mean it feels like you went to Europe I flew all that way got to my seat sat in my chair and was immature enough to let somebody else's worship experience keep me from touching Jesus and the Lord spoke to me and he said how dare you let him keep you from touching me that's the language of being poor in spirit then the Lord spoke to me clear as day said do you think I had some interesting people and my crowds by the end of thousands I mean multiplying food fish and bread for five thousand men and four thousand men of average family of four let's just say back then you're talking about crowds of fifteen to twenty thousand people you think Jesus had someone in that crowd it was a little interesting maybe I'm talking to you maybe you maybe you're interesting like that I don't know maybe you don't even know when your husband or wife snake Smeagol that's you babe you're that's yep you do that human nature we're so fickle we're so critical we're so judgmental think of this I fly all the way there I finally get there wait in line get into my seat and I was immature enough to look at a person rather than the Lord isn't it while that we can fly so far drive so far pay so much money get a hotel and judge that is proof that I was not poor in spirit in that moment now to those who are poor in spirit they are promised the kingdom of heaven I believe this applies to the salvation experience and to the life of the believer and to our eternal life as believers in Jesus in the age to come I believe we need to be poor in spirit just to come to Jesus to receive the kingdom of heaven initially we have to be or in spirit we have to realize that we are sinners we have to realize our need for the Lord our need for his blood our need for his justification our need for his torture not by the of the Spirit on our lives our need for all of this we need Jesus we have to realize that we are sinners in need of a savior when you got saved in that moment you were poor in spirit if you got born again you came to Jesus poor in spirit I believe sing Lord I need you and you receive his finished work the power of his shed blood the work of the cross his death burial resurrection you received the fact that he ascended he reigns on high is coming back you're receiving all this because you're realizing I can't save me I can't wash me I can't cleanse me I cannot see I cannot free me I can't be my own king I can't Shepherd me I can't heal me I cannot empower me I can't do any of this I can't rule the nation's I am helpless Jesus I need you and all of a sudden the kingdom of heaven becomes yours jesus said that heaven the kingdom of heaven is within us so this kingdom is experienced now and yes yes it is experienced forever in the future blessed are the poor in spirit blessed are the adikted blessed are those who say Jesus touched me today or I feel like I'm gonna die this is the kind of heartbeat the kingdom of heaven becomes yours if you've listened to me teach you've heard me say this a few times God does not promise to visit the curious now heared of them God just doesn't touch me I have no experience with the Lord I have he's not not real to me the Bible's boring i I'm not getting low anywhere in my life do you know nobody is where they are by accident there's no luck of the draw do you know there's no button God is using greatly because he just they're just lucky yeah he can sovereignly pick you but I promise you we'll have to walk with him if you want to continue to see his glory flow through you you have to be with him now yes it's the choice is much greater or I should say the blood the blessing the reward is much greater than the price but nobody is where they are by accident you say well how do how do I live a life of internal poverty how do I live a life of being poor in spirit you eat daily see what yeah well then I wouldn't need to be poor in spirit tomorrow if I was hungry today no that's how hunger flows bill Johnson says it beautifully in the natural to get hungry we don't eat but in the kingdom if we want to get hungry we start eating we start eating and children just they're not you notice kids aren't super judgmental over their meals we might have a picky one or two but when they're hungry they eat the poor in spirit are humble the poor in spirit are in the most beautiful way they'll they'll do anything to get to Jesus and the reward is the kingdom of heaven yes as I said in the future and in the age to come but also today you begin to experience the kingdom of heaven the kingdom of God the dominating kingship of Jesus Christ now before he dominates anything what he wants to lovingly dominate is my own heart he wants to be king of my heart the landmass he's most interested in my heart remember people make up nations people make up cities people make up regions if he could have the hearts of a people he can have the hearts of a nation so to the hungry even the bitter even the bitter food is sweet someone invites you tonight to step in to being poor in spirit so that you can experience this kingdom of God again this is the dominating rule and reign of the Lord Jesus do you know in the kingdom of God you can be free from fear you realize King Jesus that Jesus who painted the sky with these stars is bigger than any sickness bigger than any plague bigger than any disagreement bigger than any any anything the world is facing today bigger than the turmoil in the hatred old the hatred the hatred that is flooding the nation's today that has sadly found its way into the church you can't be hungry for Jesus at that level and experiencing the kingdom and lift that way he said but I just think ok again Jesus is Lord well but I just read a post again that post did not die on the cross and neither did the person who post of it well I saw this on TV again Jesus bought me he bought you something happened there the moment you said you are Lord you said you owned me Jesus and now I relinquish my own ability I relinquish my perspectives I relinquish my rights I lay them down at your feet you are Lord there was a saying back when I pastored in Cali people would say there was a t-shirt Jesus is my homeboy and I'm like I know you're trying to say but sorry to rain on your parade no he's not your homeboy he's God he's the little Lord all mighty Jesus is not just someone who we involve in our lives you know III heard someone somebody else say Jesus just makes it better and my friend Daniel kolenda goes what do you mean he makes it better like an avocado on a burger makes it makes it better you know a Olie sauce on a double cheeseburger makes the burger better that's not what Jesus does he doesn't just make he doesn't make things better that's why I say no preachers aren't here to just make things better preachers raise the dead when preach when someone gives our life to Jesus the dead come alive without Jesus it's dead without Jesus our lives are dead we were sunk he doesn't make it better it dies and it's resurrected with Jesus gives you a whole new way of life a whole new way of thinking you are literally a new creature and I feel that that God is offering everyone listening to me tonight the chants hear me to forgive those who have wronged you if you want to walk in the kingdom of heaven and the power of the kingdom and live a life of being poor in spirits you don't have time to be shackled with unforgiveness even if you disagree forgive what does forgiveness mean I do not hold their debt against them it doesn't mean that they didn't do something to you that's horrible but a people have to emerge right now and get up into this cyclone of hatred and cyclone of criticism and just this this storm of pointing the finger and just say I belong to Jesus and because he forgave me because I deserved his death because he took my cross because he died my death because I deserved hell because I deserve to stay in the grave he went into the grave because of my sickness he was beaten and striped with a cat of nine tails with bones and steel balls connected to leather straps that tore his flesh from his back and exposed his organs and his bone Psalm 22 says he could count all of his bones Jesus was skinned skinned by his Roman tormentors brutalized spit upon a crown of thorns beaten into his beautiful face with a stick his beard pulled from his glorious face his eyes beaten until they wasted away Psalm 88 says stripped naked listen to me stripped naked Jesus was stripped completely naked and shame so that you wouldn't have to be he took your nakedness in my nakedness because we lost the glory we lost the clothing of the Spirit so Jesus was stripped the book of Matthew says so beautifully and they stripped him how is it that the one whose robe Bill's heavens temple decided to be stripped naked spit upon skinned alive tied to a tree they didn't need to nail him they didn't need to nail him he would have hung there for you and for me why did they nail him just so he could experience a more brutal torture still he said yes this is Jesus the Bible says my Psalm 22 my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth it dries up like a clay pot this is the Lord he said I poured my life out what Psalm 22 what does that mean it means that his blood was poured out Jesus's blood was literally drained from his body he died of a broken heart that's Jesus and that should be us and that Jesus that Jesus is our Lord so my question is who else has done that for you who else has earned the right to be Lord think of the surrender think of the meekness of Jesus for him to offer his life listen and trust the father to raise him from the dead you talk about trust we're trying to trust him for gas money rent I'm not I'm not denying the fact that that that's a journey but I'm talking about the ultimate level of trust Jesus breathed his last and trust his trusted his father to raise him from the dead who else conquered the devil for you Jesus said for what sin what sin do you find me guilty of that you hit me do you find sin in Jesus some in the church has to get we don't add him to our plans and we don't add him to our agendas we don't add him you know he's all he is all or nothing well I don't like that well I just have a question do you have anyone else who compares don't you think if Jesus were in that grave they would have found him do you think that the enemy armies of Israel the enemy armies of the church in the early church the enemy don't you think if anyone's body would have been found if it were in a grave it would be the grave of the most famous influential person to ever walk the earth do you think it's by mistake that they just didn't find the body so if you if you're wondering tonight why are you telling us to follow his words because I don't know anyone with this bio it's a historical fact that he is alive oh yeah I receive it by faith but that tomb is empty it's funny you go to Israel there's a discrepancy between the tombs they're all empty he's alive do you know anyone who gave us back for your disease you know we have such a quest for heroism much of its pride we we want to be the hero but the poor in spirit realize I can't heal a fly on my best day I need Jesus his brutal whipping paid for your healing you might be watching tonight you may have never even yielded your life to Jesus but you know you're sick inside it's possible that people around you just think that you're you're amazing but you know as as well as I do there's just this emptiness and nothing fixes it his stripes could heal you if you'd let him this is the majesty of the Lord I'm talking about who else says stuff like this blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of God any one answer the phone like that when you call them hey how are you bro good how's it going that's about the depth of the conversation with my friends what are you doing today not much Jesus says blessed are the poor in spirit theirs is the kingdom of heaven he's speaking from a different place that's why when he asked Peter are you leaving are you all y'all gonna go he said you have to eat my body drink my blood you can have no part in me he said and then and then they left him disciples left him and he looked at the ones who remaining said are y'all leaving and what did Peter say we where will we go you have the words of life these are the words of life we're gonna take a while even if we need a year to stay in the Beatitudes or on the sermon amount we're gonna stay this is the time that we need these teachings it's really hard to be unforgiving and be poor in spirit because the reality is is we can go to every event we can scroll through our Instagram and listen our videos we can do all these things and watch our favorite worship and buy all their CDs but I promise you I promise you if God meets you while you're listening to one of those CDs or meets you at one of those events if God starts talking to you he's going to talk to you about the person that you're not forgiving and the reality is they may never be who you want them to be and they may never say to you what you want them to say they may never see you as you want them to what does that have to do with you being free it's alive from the devil then my unforgiveness towards someone shackles them he wants me to believe that if I don't forgive them that they will suffer he wants me to believe that they're thinking about me all the time when in reality I'm the prisoner Jesus said Father forgive them for they know not what they do you know it's possible for people to hurt you because they just don't know our Lord lived like that when you're poor in spirit that insatiable hunger it refuses offense do you know what I mean by that John it it realizes that heart realizes if I pick up that offense it keeps me from touch again now Jesus Jesus addressed this is so powerful Jesus addressed two types of people regarding offense those who caused it and those who are offended he warned both [Music] woe to the one who causes the offense woe to the one who's offended and then he said offenses will come it'll they'll happen in other words offense if you want to grab one today you can grab one you could grab twenty today if you wanted to do you see what so-and-so posted they didn't like my picture I follow them they don't follow me this is the stuff I hear makes me scratch my head nonetheless it's part of our culture so weird just so weak so low level living you know it's just like we we can get they didn't invite me they didn't call me they do this they said that they didn't I spoke for them and I had them they spoke for me now they don't have me on all of these things they don't understand me they don't they are there for me what do they have to do with your purity [Music] what do they have to do with your holiness [Music] it would be so convenient for me to blame you for my sin [Music] you say well I don't I just I'm not I don't see how forgiveness is has anything to do with this well how about you being forgiven here's the deal I only know of one person who is perfect I only know of one person who does not need God's forgiving power name is Jesus Christ other than Jesus every person needs God's forgiveness if you choose according to the words of Jesus to not forgive jesus said your father in heaven will not forgive you so here's my question can we agree that we are not sinless if the answer is yes which it is for every human on the on the planet we need God's forgiveness therefore we need to forgive do you know why we don't because we feel that we can punish better than God can we we want to take it into our own hands and we don't realize we're just picking up an offense and adding it to the weight of our life and another one here and that word offense means trap skandalon in greek that's where we get the word scandal it's like the snare of the Fowler and Psalm 91 it's a trap used to trap Eagles that are meant to fly so the enemy brings Eagles you down to his level to get stuck in the mud hoping that you'll pick up an offense way down here instead of riding the winds of the Spirit way up there he realizes if you pick that up you can't fly you can't hear God you can't spread your wings you can't ride the currents of the glory of the Lord yield to him and let him catch you up in a way into his great plan he realized if I can just get you to pick up on offense and live a life of unforgiveness you begin to live on his level this generation and I can tell you this because III feel like I lead the greatest church in the world and I'm hopefully every pastor would say this I feel like I lead the best ministry school in the world hopefully every ministry school leader would feel this but I can just save from being a leader in our environment here and whatever voice the Lord's given me in the nation's we love to blame our sin on someone else but Jesus doesn't teach that you have to bring your sin to him but what about vengeance the Bible says vengeance is mine saith the Lord do you know every Christian has the Ministry of reconciliation we should want the most horrible the most worse the the the the the the the the the most [Music] dark the most bound to find Jesus [Music] there's something in the heart of all of us [Music] it struggles when someone near us someone we know or don't know seems to be blessed in a way that I don't seem to be it's not so much that [Music] we don't have something it's just the fact we don't want them to have it [Music] my friend Daniel kolenda calls it crabby Christianity one crab goes up the cup when you have kept crabs in a bucket when one tries to go up and what would all the crabs do they pull them back down as quick as they can yet Jesus is hanging on a cross dying bleeding bleeding as the sacrificial lamb and he says Father forgive them for they don't know what they're doing if you're listening to me tonight you're not walking with this Jesus he wants to walk with you he loves you he died for you he bled for you he's alive today he is king of kings lord of lords I want to invite you tonight to give him your life give him your heart repent of your sin what's that word repent mean it means you turn from your life you turned from your own agenda as your plans and you give your life to the Lord you turn from your sin you realize that it's his blood and his blood alone this is work on the cross it is the payment the sole remedy from my sin and as we come to the Lord Jesus said this that if we would come to him we were weary and heavy-laden that he would give us his yoke which is easy his burden which is light in other words we don't have to carry our own lives anymore we don't carry our sin we were not trying to cleanse us we come to him by faith by trust in the gospel you're hearing right now that Jesus died Jesus suffered Jesus shed his blood Jesus was buried Jesus has been raised from the dead Jesus is king of kings and Lord of lords see Michael I've been listening tonight I want to give Jesus my life I want him to forgive my sin I want you to do it right now and I want you to pray with me right now let's pray together just lift your hands if you're there at home I want you to stand up right now if you're giving your life and actually get on your knees right there wherever you are I'm believing in faith right now as thousands are watching around the world that there would be thousands of people all over the world getting on their knees surrendering their lives to Jesus once you lift your hands to heaven we're gonna pray father won't you repeat after me father I come to you tonight a sinner forgive my sin wash me with the blood cleanse my soul I believe Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God and that he died on the cross for my sin that he's been buried and raised again and I believe that you are alive Jesus that's your God Almighty that you've ascended to the right hand of the Father that you're coming back again you are the king of kings and the Lord of lords so tonight lord I give you my life forgive my sin cleanse my soul I receive you as my Lord and Savior I will follow you forever I give you everything in jesus name amen amen amen thank you Lord it's so beautiful I want you to text more Jesus to that number on your screen if you've just prayed that prayer might be your first time giving your heart to the Lord maybe you're coming back to the Lord to renew your walk with Him he loves it all it's all beautiful too but I want you to text more Jesus to that number on the screen just so we can walk with you and help you there's a few things I want to make sure you're doing number one read your Bible every day this is the Holy Word of God it is perfect it is life-giving it is life it is bread read your Bible every day number two pray everyday go into your room the Bible says close the door pray to your father who is in secret and your father who dwells in secret will reward you openly all that means is as I spend time with my father in secret it develops a lifestyle with my father at all times thirdly he didn't be baptized in water we can help you with that I realized what the challenges right now that we're all experiencing was social distancing etc but that can be difficult but I do want you to get ahold of the ministry and do what you need to do to get baptized in water it's beautiful beautiful experience with the Lord number four find a local church we would love to be that for you if you're not here in the Central Florida area find a church somewhere and become part of that church don't just attend commit in your heart to submit to open your heart to the leaders and to the people you want to find a church that loves the Word of God and it loves the presence of God find a church that preaches the entire Bible and honors the presence of God lastly asked Jesus to fill you and empower you with the Holy Spirit and fire it's what he said he said he said you shall receive power after that the Holy Spirit has come upon you thank you Lord well it's been such an honor to be with you tonight I love you guys you know Jesus image has been seeing such breakthrough all over the nations we have been we've had the privilege of helping so many people here in the Orlando area and really around the world during this struggle with kovat and God is continuing to use the ministry and increase the reach and the impact it's all Jesus it's certainly not our doing he none of us are that good and we know it but if you feel to be a partner I want to encourage you to do so guys can we put a link up there on the on the
