The Dual Anointing of the The Church | James Diamante

thank you that you are a good god thank you lord that you are our peace our joy that we can sing lord that you are our everything that we can glorify your name thank you for the freedom we have in this nation thank you lord god for the fresh air that we breathe each and every day thank you for the good health that you've given us lord thank you god for blessing us and providing for us thank you for the new strengths that you've given to us lord each and every day we give you the glory we give you the honor in the mighty name of jesus amen amen god is good all the time i would want to encourage some of us sitting behind to perhaps you know move forward it's it's better to be nearer amen so before i start the word we have an announcement so this um november 11 12 and 13 we have brother sadhu coming for the college kings college of prophets and it's available only for church members so if you're not a church member i'm so sorry but it's open online for those who are non-jmk members so if you want to sign up you can visit rivers apostolic.com and then sign up we have an early bird of 80 dollars that's the early bird and then after the certain date which is online it's 85 dollars and you know what it's it's a blessing because this is the first time brother sadhu is teaching in the college of prophets and it's amazing and how many of us are glad to be in the house of god tonight oh thank you sister carol for leading us in worship that is so amazing amazing [Applause] god is good amen even before we started singing just by coming to the sanctuary we could already feel the presence of god embracing us and loving us and that is something that i'm so grateful about in this place and that all of us are somehow being drawn by the presence of god though different walks different backgrounds but in the eyes of god all of us are his children amen so today i'm gonna share something about that that is really close to my heart and i've been musing on it for the longest time i think this year i've been musing on this word um and in the in the message i'm gonna share tonight is the dual anointing of the church of jesus christ because we have to understand that the anointing that jesus carried is very important for us to know because if we do not know what he carries and what he's given to us how are we going to minister and how are we going to walk as sons and daughters so i i want all of us to understand that as a church you are anointed can we tell our neighbors tonight you are anointed amen the very first time you accepted jesus as your lord and personal savior you all you are already anointed by him amen yes there are specific anointing in different areas in the ministry but the fact that you are a son and the daughter of the most high you have been anointed amen so i just want to encourage all of us tonight and i heard that um from my dear brother in christ that our messages have been really hot and chilly and and and poking and we we don't mean any offense whatsoever but because we're just preaching the word of god is that all right sometimes sometimes it can really you know it cuts really deep but it's better to be cut now than in their last days and and the more i read the bible so i'm trying to i'm trying to weigh the word of god the spirit of the lord and what god is speaking to all of us because the question is are we becoming weak in in receiving the word of god that's what pastor steven mentioned before if jesus is our pastor are we sure that we're going to stay in his church if if if apostle paul is our pastor can we stay in the church i don't i don't know i'm not sure about myself because when i read the epistles of paul it seems that it's not so gracious and is as as it is because right now the church has been in this limbo of it's all about the grace of god and the grace of god is beautiful and all of us need to rely on the grace of god amen because i am saved by grace through faith and i'm justified because of the faith i carry but we have to understand that faith does not come when we don't work it out are we listening that's why it's very important church that we understand what god is saying in the scripture not interpreting the scripture according to what we want because many of us like what i've mentioned before and sadly with tears in my eyes when i listen to some people that i know it they're treating jesus as a spare tire or as a spare part or as an uncle jesus instead of giving him our all as a lord and savior and dedicating all our lives to him we take him as an extra time if i got extra time lord i'm going to give it to you yet jesus has given us his all so tonight the dual anointing of the church i hope this encouraged us tonight as much as it encouraged me as i have been meditating on this because there is a a battle not in the spirit but in doctrine and in the church instead of fighting the enemy we're fighting amongst ourselves who is right and who is wrong some people will say we don't believe in the move of the spirit we believe in the doctrine some people say i believe in the spirit of god but i don't believe in the theologians why can't we as a church merge it together right it's like a husband and wife right man is different woman is different and they're married and they become one isn't that the same are we following because if we always have this contention how will the kingdom of god move how will the kingdom of god be extended if you're always arguing about silly things so i just want to encourage us and and give us something to think about and to meditate on because god is doing a new thing can we all say that together god is doing a new thing why is it new because jesus says so because god says so behold i am doing a new thing why do we sometimes let me just give time to the introduction why do we sometimes always pray lord do it again if god is doing a new thing why are we asking something of the past are we following it is important church that we are aware god when you do something new please lord jesus don't pass me by when you do something new jesus please let me know that it is new when you do something new jesus please let me know god it is you it is not what i want the problem with this is we always want god to do our bidding instead of god doing a new thing so i want all of us to really tonight to to to to chew on the word i have written at least more than 20 scriptures tonight and i'm so excited because the more god reveals things the more he releases things yes one thing is revelation but another thing is working it out one thing is the word of god but working it out is another thing faith is one thing but working your faith out is another thing are we following so tonight let's flip our bible to john 4 23 john 4 23. i know some of us are tired from work but let the joy of the lord be our strength amen john 4 23 but the hour is coming and it is now here when the true worshipers will worship the father in spirit and in truth for the father is seeking such people who to worship him verse 24 god is spirit and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth what is the dual anointing of the church the spirit and truth what is truth the word of god you know we don't need to have elaborate understanding of certain things if we don't need to but what we need is to understand the things of god and and when i was reading the scripture it it dawned on to me that what jesus carried is is not just the understanding but he carried the power amen how many of us know that luke chapter 4 verse 1. this was after jesus was baptized it says here and jesus full of the holy spirit returned from the jordan and was led by the spirit in the wilderness for 40 days being tempted by the devil he ate nothing during those days and when they were end ended he was hungry i want us to pay attention to this uh church let's go back to verse um verse one let's go to verse one and jesus full of the holy spirit returned from jordan and was led by the spirit in the wilderness i want you all to pay attention to this jesus in john chapter 1 he is the the word thank you jesus was the word and the word was with god and the word was god and i want us to have an understanding that jesus is the word follow this and he carried the spirit of the living god are we following so what jesus carried is not just the anointing he carried the word of god because when he was young remember he was already sharing the word he was already exchanging knowledge with the pharisee and the sadducees in the temple and then when he grew up he grew up in wisdom and understanding so i want all of us to know that both the anointing of the spirit and the anointing of the word is very important that we use it together a double-edged sword is not a double edged sword if there's no other edge are we following that's why it's double edge because there's spirit and there's the word that's why church i'm so glad that our church studied the bible how many of us are glad that we don't just do crazy things yes we do crazy things but the word of god is here as well because jesus is the word we gotta love the word how many of us love the word of god we gotta love the word of god amen so when i was when i was reading this it dawned unto me that god the god we worship has given us his two attributes number one is his spirit god is a spirit that is that's his attribute number two is the word it's it amazes me that when we worship god in spirit that's who he is and i worship him in truth that is who he is and he's given us this same attribute is giving us that attribute so that we can understand and operate the same way jesus did amen so the more we understand the word and the more we understand the spirit this dynamics will come together and empower us to do the purposes in the will of god amen so number one i'm just going to go straight into the points because um i've got uh i think i got 12 points number one word so below the word letter a jesus is the word can we go to john chapter one please thank you john chapter one in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god verse two he was in the beginning with god verse three all things were made through him and without him was not anything made that was made next one in him was life and the life was the light of men verse 5 the light shines in the darkness in the darkness has not overcome it prophetic people i want us to understand the more prophetic we are the more should we know the bible there are people who are prophetic in nature the lord gifted them please please don't doubt the gift of god okay because the gift of god is without repentance i want us to to to know this and all of us know right that the gift of god the anointing of god comes without repentance that's why samson could still operate the anointing of you know remember what pastor michael shared last sunday that's why he could still operate though the character was not there but the anointing is without repentance so in singapore we we have big conferences um pastor does it and sometimes ministers from the west will go there like bill johnson and all these people will have a big conference ten thousand fifteen thousand people will be there and the same people somehow i i've identified them because they're the same folks they are anointed by god to prophesy but what they do is always hunt people to put their hands on you know so sometimes they forget the protocol of the service that we shouldn't do that because we have to respect the people who organize the meeting and be very very respectful unless god tells us then do it with honor because honor will be given to us when honor is due amen are we following so so i want us to understand that that part of that jesus is the word therefore as prophetic people as worshipers especially we need to know the word amen because jesus walked in the word of god remember in luke chapter 4 as well when jesus was tempted what did jesus use remember it says here in verse 5 and the devil took him up and showed him let me go further up verse 3 if you are the son of god command this stone to become bread and jesus answered him it is written man shall not live by bread alone verse 5 the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in the moment of time and said to him to you i will give all this authority and glory for it it has been delivered to me and i give it to whom the lib to whom i am where am i to you i will give all these authority and their glory for it has been delivered to me and i give it to whom i will if you then will worship me it will be yours and jesus answered it is written you shall worship the lord your god and him only shall you serve why did i bother reading all this because we we all of us have this knowledge of when the devil comes we will read the scripture reading the scripture is different from reading the scripture knowing the scripture when you're filled with the holy spirit amen because there is power in the word but there is more power when we are anointed by the holy spirit but but for now i'm focusing on the word jesus is the word second one jesus walked as the word and with the words of his father amen john 4 34 can we go to john 4 verse 34. look at this jesus said to them my food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work do you not say there are yet four months then comes the harvest look i tell you lift up your eyes and see that the fields are white for harvest how did jesus know this because he knows the will of the father and he knows the scripture because the lord the father wants to do new things amen so jesus walked amen jesus walked as the word and with the words of his father next one see jesus the word of god used scriptures as a weapon i've read it earlier that jesus used the word as a weapon so number one jesus is the word number two jesus walked as the word and with the words of his father number three jesus the word of god used the scripture as a weapon i'm sometimes um i'm puzzled you know when i read about the gospel when jesus used the word against satan i was wondering jesus if you have the power if you are anointed why did you quote the scripture you can you could just cast out the demon or you can just tell satan to to just run away or just get lost but you know what jesus did he showed us this is how you should use my weapon this is how you should use my anointing it is not your cleverness it is not your strength but it is the strength of the very word i carry so i want us to you know and and when i was reading this and just meditating on the word i'm i'm just in oh wow god your word is secure and your words are powerful amen d number four jesus declared the word in luke 4. let's go back to luke 4. luke 4 verse 18 to 19 and this was encoded from isaiah the spirit of the lord is upon me because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor he has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind to sit at liberty those who are oppressed to proclaim the year of the lord's favor amen jesus declared and proclaimed the word amen life and death is in the power of but what is in the tongue is it the word of god or is it the word of the world church we gotta define this are we releasing the word from the world are we releasing the word from the one who is the word so i encourage all of us even those watch who are watching online if you're called by god and if you're marked by him give your life to the lord because the thing is why do we doubt jesus if jesus has everything and he said in his great commission i have the power of life in death heaven and earth as the lord has the father has given to me go and preach the good news to the poor cast demons raise the dead heal the sick we're seeing a little bit of it you know church but we want to see more amen i know i don't know about you i want to see god moving shelby i want to see god move in the streets i want to see the lord change lives i want to see them i want to see people praying outside i want to see people just in in this in shelby uptown just praying for people why not i used to have a friend we you know when i meet him outside um very good friend of mine in singapore so we will walk we love to walk so we walk around the city and and talk about jesus and the things that we do and and suddenly we will feel something then he will ask me james do you feel that i said yeah you want to pray for somebody i said okay and you know what there will always be somebody who needs help and we will help that person i remember we helped somebody who um this blind lady and she was struggling carrying her groceries and she could go home you know she's just walking from the market to her home and we started helping her and walking her and and and and just encouraging her and we told her about jesus and you know what the lady asked oh both of you believe in christ i said yes so we asked auntie do you want to pray and receive jesus then he said yes you know this this small small nudge of jesus when he tells us to to speak to somebody to pray for somebody or to just be nice to somebody you know how much impact it will make in the kingdom of god so i want to encourage all of us that the more we know the word the more the word consumes us it makes us to become more like jesus amen so number four jesus declared the word and number five the word of god is living and active let's go to hebrews 4 12 to 13. hebrews 4 12 to 13. for the word of god is living an active sharper than any two-edged sword piercing to the division of soul and of spirit of joints and of marrow and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart and no creature is hidden from his sight but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account amen and that is beautiful what the word does to us is it makes us naked in his sight yes or rather we are naked in his sight he sees us inside out but what happens is we realize when we know the word that we are naked in the eyes of god because we have to give account it's it's not always about you know oh i can do this god is gracious oh i can do this god will forgive me anyway i want us to read this scripture in in and um let's go together to hebrews chapter 12. i've read this to the worship team on sunday and i hope it touched them verse 16 let me start from verse 15 see to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of god that no root of bitterness springs up and cause trouble and by it many become defiled it's it's not part of my notes but i just want to give some thoughts about you know when i was just reading the word and musing on it a lot of us think that defilement comes when we see something filthy or when we talk something that is filthy remember jesus said it is not what you eat that makes you filthy but it's what comes out from your mouth that makes you filthy and in the word it says here let's strive um see to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of god that no roots of bitterness and you know i love i shared this with the youths last saturday and i asked them what do you think about it and then our little david he's not little anymore but one of our young guys he said this root of bitterness means it's living it's like wow you know it taken me a beck that a 14 year old guy youth said it's it's roots of bitterness because it's living which means that church pay attention to this root of bitterness means it's you've allowed it to take root in your heart so when it has root it means it's alive you know when when david says said that i was musing on it that's why the word of god is so powerful amen even a young man even a boy even a young girl even a five-year-old can give wisdom hallelujah and i was so amazed it means that when we have root of bitterness it makes our soul our spirit defiled how many of us are following that's why it's very important that when we're worshipping as a children of god that we are always always very fast to forgive fast to forgive fast to let go and just move on because at the end of the day we are giving account to who to god so the more we are aware of what's going on now i'm striving for the peace verse 14 i just want us to read this together verse 14 let's read together of the same chapter verse 14 1-3 strive for peace with everyone and for the holiness without which no one will see the lord it's another amazing thought church that strive for peace with everyone and for the holiness it's not just holiness that makes us see god but what makes me see god and you see god is when we strive for oh thank you for the three people strive for yes holiness is there but the first one is what strive for peace which means that when i forgive and when i strive for peace and i work hard the word strife means working hard for it toiling for it thinking about it doing the best out of it amen yes we may be angry but what is at stake is it just your name or is it the presence of god if what is at stake is the presence of god then we should do our best to forgive and to find peace with everybody amen here we are in shelby asking god lord have your way and we're asking god in this place lord we want your glory to be here but if we cannot forgive why would the holy and the pure god come and what makes us defile is the condition of our heart and one more thing church look at this in verse 16 that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like esau who sold his birthright for a single meal for you know that afterward when he desired in his to inherit the blessings he was rejected for he found no chance to repent though he sought it with his tears i want us to to also look at this that selling or rather giving away what god has given to us causes us to be immoral and unholy are you following are we reading the new testament or the old testament old testament or new testament so why are we always as a church especially in the west we kept saying the grace of god god understands a great man of god brian bailey if you know him he's a great man of god he's a great teacher of the word if you have not read any of his books please do his name is brian bailey a good teacher a good writer he said this his last book the the last book the the title is um the hidden ones of god he wrote this in the coming days some churches will say it is okay to take the mark of the beast because they will say the grace of god is enough and the lord will forgive you is the vaccine the mark of the beast it's not why because the book of revelation says the mark of the beast people will know and they will worship we're not worshiping the vaccine we are not taking a stand of what is which because it is your choice amen so i just i just we just want to make it clear to us that the mark of the beast will be known by everybody because it's it's it's it's the matter of the will are we learning something tonight verse 12 for the word of god is living in active sharper than any two-edged sword and i love this because the word of god is alive alive is because jesus is alive and what he says is still living now is the word of god still relevant today i absolutely amen and it says here his word the word of god is living and active and i want to ask all of us how active is the word of god in us today and i don't i don't i i we don't need to answer you don't need to tell anybody but it's between you and god how active is the word of god today how how is the word of god living in us is it bearing fruit or is it just rotting away amen so i want all of us to to pay attention to that and in hosea 4 6 can we turn our bibles to hosea 4 6 this is the opposite hosea 4 6 my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because you have rejected knowledge hosea was talking about the knowledge of god i rejected you from being a priest to me and since you have forgotten the law of your god i also will forget your children i mean of course we're living in in god's goodness in the new covenant right but we we have to know that without the word of god without the knowledge of god we are destroyed no wonder we see our nation now this very nation that we're standing it's slowly getting different right it's slowly changing it's slowly flipping to the evil side because the people refuse to have the knowledge of god the people refuse to have more of god and less of us it's as if now the church in the west is having a lot more of self than of god and the more when we listen to new songs today there's a lot of anointed songs today by the way but but majority of the new songs now is more of me what i feel what i go through who i am what should i do about me and and those glorious days in the 90s is all the glory of your presence you know those beautiful songs paul wilbur and all these older guys they wrote songs that's focused on the lord amen and we saw revival right when those songs were released that's why i believe that when the revival comes god will always have songs amen so i want to give encouragement to us who are called to write music let's write songs for the lord amen because when revival comes there's always a song when we read the bible when god does something they're always singing amen so so let's pray church as a church lord restore your word restore the gospel in america restore god your truths in this land lord jesus spare us lord have mercy amen let's take this burden in our hearts that lord jesus help us lord amen so that we can walk according to your will number six the word supplements our expression of worship so i've talked much about the word and you know the more we know the word of god the more we study the word of god the more knowledge of god we have the more we can express worship to him how many of us agree so the more we know jesus the more we read the bible the more we'll express and unashamed worshipping him amen the second part the spirit of god now now we're going to talk about the spirit of god number one jesus was filled with the spirit of god as the scripture i've read earlier in luke 4 chapter 1 that he was filled with the spirit and he was led to the wilderness and then luke 8 4 18-19 can we oh sorry in luke 4 that's right 18-19 can we go to look for 18-19 the spirit of the lord is upon me because he has anointed me i'm coming back to this because it's very important that we don't just focus on the he proclaimed to proclaim good news to the poor he has sent me to proclaim liberty to recover the sight of the blind to set the liberty to those who are oppressed setting all these free is because you know the word but we have to know that the spirit of god must be in us and be upon us amen because the spirit of god will empower us to do the works of the lord number two the spirit of god was in the beginning genesis 1 verse 2. can we turn our bibles to genesis 1 verse 2. then the earth was without form and void and darkness was over the face of the deep and the spirit of god was hovering over the face of the waters the spirit of god already existed before time and it existed together with jesus with the father and all of them are loving each other from the very eternal beginning are you following that's the very character that we have so we have to know that we need the spirit of god number three the spirit works best with the word hebrews 4 6. let's go back to hebrews chapter 4 4 12. let's go back to the scripture for the word of god is living a negative sharper than any two-edged sword piercing to the division of soul and spirit amen piercing through the dividing of the soul your emotion and the spirit so the word of god works best when the spirit of god is present are we following because the word of god will just be knowledge amen the word of god will not have its full power if the spirit of the lord is not together with it amen number four the spirit of god enables us to call him abba father galatians 4 verse 6 galatians 4 verse 6. are you there and because you are sons god has sent the spirit of his son into the hearts crying abba can we read this together one two three and because you are sons god has sent the spirit of his son into our hearts crying abba father so which means that i cannot remember in the scriptures written there that those who are led by the spirit are the sons of god and this confirms that scripture and because you are sons god has sent the spirit of his son into your heart crying abba father which means that we don't have the ability to call him father unless we are filled with the spirit are we following are we following because sometimes we we we we just you know you gotta you just need to pray the sinner's prayer you know sometimes it becomes like a like a like uh what do you call it like uh just following through the notes you have the notes which is good many people were saved through that but as a child of god we have to follow up those people who are new in the kingdom amen so that they would know that i don't have the ability to call him my father unless i'm filled with the spirit of god so that's why when people say we don't need the holy spirit that's rubbish we need the holy spirit we need the work of the holy spirit we need the spirit of god to enable us to even call him father it amazed me when i'm reading this oh wow so lord help us that your spirit will give us that cry tonight lord that we can call you abba that we can call you papa daddy you know how close that is to the heart of god when he calls him father this white church it's important that as a son and a daughter of god we can call him abba father amen number five the spirit will empower us x oh let's go to john 14 16. john 14 16 and i will ask the father and he will give you another helper to be with you forever and let's go to verse 26 verse 26 of the same chapter are we there but the helper the holy spirit whom the father will send in my name remember what galatians said the spirit of the son he will teach you all things and bring you and bring to you remembrance all that i have said to you which means that i need the holy spirit to remember it's it's church we have to understand it's not just memory problem are you following it's not just memory it's not just the things in our mind but the things of the spirit which means that i have to have the holy spirit i have to have the spirit of god to have a full understanding of the word because the word or rather because the spirit the very spirit is the spirit of the word are we following it is one it cannot be separated it's as if it's it's like this if we change the topic to jesus and the father can you separate jesus in the father can we separate this spirit and jesus no so that's why church it's important that we are aware that i'm moving in the spirit and i'm moving in the word of god i have to have both until it becomes one in my mind in my heart in my soul in my spirit are we understanding that it's not it doesn't make any divide in my being anymore are we following that's the gold church when we study when we come close to god the goal is for the word and the spirit to be one that i am not confused anymore what is the word what is the spirit what is theology what is this and what is that amen theology is good i love it because because the study of the word when god has called you to study then you enjoy it if god has called you to do the things of the spirit and do the things of the spirit but having the word of god amen so the more we study the word the more we'll discover who god is and in acts 2 1-4 let's go to the book of ex a lot of us love this scripture amen book of acts chapter 2 verse 1. when the day of pentecost arrived they were all together in one place verse 2 and suddenly there came from heaven a sound like mighty rushing wind and it filled the entire house where they were sitting next verse and divided tongues as a fire appearing to them and rested on each one of them and they were all filled with the holy spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the spirit gave them utterance verse 5 now there were dwelling in jerusalem jews devout men from every nation under heaven and we know the story right when the spirit of god filled peeler he suddenly became an evangelist bringing 5 000 people in the kingdom of god hallelujah that's why church we need the spirit of the lord we need the spirit of god we need to cry out church if that is not our desperation i don't know what if the coming of jesus is not our cry i don't know what if if the glory of jesus is not something we we are desperately crying about i really don't know what because as in my understanding what do we do on earth we grow up we study we work we have children i mean we marry we have children we get old and what happens next really what's what happens next is it just retirement enjoying ourselves or is it a greater purpose of the lord to follow him all the way remember the song i have decided to follow jesus i have decided to follow jesus i have decided to follow jesus my favorite no turning back no turning back how many of you love him i love him should sing more hymns huh [Laughter] okay we'll sing some hymns so i just love the the the richness of hymns the richness of how they wrote the truths of god and singing it out that's why church you know the power of worship is we're declaring the word right and when you sing the word you're listening to the word and what comes when you hear the word faith that's why worship is important that's why shouting out to the lord like what we sang today for your name is holy songs like god is fighting for us is pushing back the darkness lighting up the kingdom that cannot be shaken and in the name of jesus you get to mean the more we express worship the more your spirit is actually growing without you knowing sometimes you don't know how much you've grown that's why it's good to always have a reflection time and and just go deep inside our heart lord what are you doing what are you speaking cultivate in me a new heart so that i can understand your ways amen so the spirit will empower us number six the spirit causes us to call and cry out for the lord revelations 22 17. let's go to revelations 22 17. are we there revelations let's go to verse 16 first i jesus have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches i am the root and the descendant of david the bright morning star the spirit and the bride say come and let the one who hears say come and let the one who is thirsty come let the one who desires take the water of life without price do we understand the scripture church the spirit and the bride will say come who's the bride we are the bride means the church so that's why i just remember when i shared last um the two sundays ago about we are anointed or god called us to build the house of god why is it important because the bride must cry out come if the church is divided and we are not wanting peace how will jesus come again how will jesus jesus will not take us a bride with a lot of pimples jesus will not take a bride with one arm missing jesus will not take a bride without hair jesus will not take are we following spirit and the bride which means that the completion of the church the fullness of the bride the fullness of a church coming together having the word and the spirit of the lord can finally cry out come and the one who hears it say come and let the one who is thirsty come let the one who desires take the water of life without a price and you know church what i'm so blessed about that the river of life is in this place you know pastor stephen i'm not sure if we shared this before i think he did he shared i'll just jazeera briefly he was praying lord what what should i do the name of the ministry years ago was different and then the lord told him name the ministry rivers of life from out of it comes rivers of living water and you know what a lot of people have seen we've seen the rivers of life flowing in this place and what did the lord said let the one who desire take it take the water of life without a price which means that god is freely giving us revival amen he's freely but church listen to this we gotta desire it and we have to be thirsty that's why church our worship reflects our desperation our prayer reflects our desperation our seeking after god reflects really if you really thirst and and cry out to him so i want to ask all of us how many of us are thirsty for the move of god oh thank you for the 10 people how many of us are thirsty for the move of god and i just want to conclude i i hope some of us are learning something from today's message and i just want to conclude this in psalms 118 verse 25 to 26 psalms 118 verse 25 to 26 save us we pray o lord o lord we pray give us success next verse blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord we bless you from the house of the lord can we turn to matthew 23 37 to 39. matthew 23 see your house okay are we there 37 all right oh jerusalem jerusalem the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it how often would i have gathered your children together and as a hand gathers her brood under her wings and you were not willing next verse see your house is left to you desolate next one for i tell you you will not see me again until you say blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord i read the book of psalms 118 verse 25-26 for us to know the scripture that the writer of that psalm was crying out lord save us save us lord give us success blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord and jesus said the same thing but what did jerusalem do they killed the prophets they stoned them they stopped them and and it looks similar though does it right now silencing the word of god silencing the church making the church look like a little puppy making the church looking like a harmless cute animal aren't we the lion that god has called us to be are when we more than conquerors the lord has called us to be are we weak yes we are but what did the bible says let the weak say i am strong i am a warrior so i want to ask all of us how many of us want the lord jesus to come because jesus said here for i tell you you will not see me until you say blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord which means church we gotta welcome god with worship we gotta know his name and we gotta know the word and the spirit amen i hope all of us are blessed with the message today and and i want all of us to really muse on this word tonight blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord is god blessed in our life do we bless him in our daily routine do we honor him in what we do daily because church remember that our worship here is just 30 40 minutes that's all some churches their worship their worship time is only 15 minutes some churches their their sermon time is only 20 minutes saying that humans attention span is only 20 minutes is that true we can watch a movie for three hours right when we when we were new as a couple right those of us are married now and we're new as a couple you can talk to the the person for what six hours straight right until now you know we can talk to our loved ones that long but what i'm trying to say is how do we adore jesus do we separate and and and categorize him as just this and that spirit here word here needs here guess that's what we're doing sometimes in the house of god not looking to him as the god who will come so i want to ask all of us tonight to meditate on the word that's been released to us and to really ask the lord god give me your spirit that i will cry out come lord jesus come and many people and many teachers of the word may say why do we need to ask jesus to come when jesus is already here right but why do we pray let your kingdom come and let your will be done why do we still pray lord come and do your work so so you see that's why church is it's important that when we come before the lord that the spirit and the word is one and you know why just before i end this time you know why the devil has been harassing the church by dividing the spirit and the word because the devil knows that when the spirit and the word are together the glory comes that's why listen to this that's why god gave moses the ten commandments and his word because the presence of god was there amen so shall we all stand in the presence of god let me on this piano and let's sing one song are we ready to worship we're gonna sing the song let the weight of your glory fall and it's a miracle it's 8 44. praise the lord [Music] [Applause] [Music] you let the truth [Music] let the weight of your glory let the weight of your glory fall away let the weight of your glory let the weight of your glory fall just for a few moments with your own and words in desperation just for a couple of minutes let me ask the lord god we want you lord we don't want the old ways god we want your new ways lord jesus come lord jesus and have your way let your will be done let your kingdom come church open up your mouth and ask for tonight oh jesus we [Music] oh
