The Greatness and Goodness of God | Troy Brewer | Redeeming Your Timeline

church will you join me in welcoming the whole planet earth to big time burleson texas y'all this is the open door experience boom that's what i'm talking about hello my friends blessing and peace on you guys and welcome to the fourth part of my teaching series on redeeming your timeline and if this has been a good series for you and if you're like man this is a great revelation i want to tell you that we have tons and tons and tons of resources on this same subject that we've worked on the entire year before knowing that this was going to take off this was something that people are going to grab a hold of and god is going to do great big things with it and i you know with the same measure that you put into something that's what you get out of it and i would just encourage you i know that people are going to be critical of you if you have a powerful experience with jesus they're going to say well god's never moved in my life who do you think you are i think i'm somebody actually knows jesus hmm yeah you might know the bible the devil knows the bible what's your history with king jesus are you going to be somebody that that he uses to work in his kingdom but he's going to say to you i never knew you yeah see let me tell you let me tell you how you cure that if you're scared of the scripture that says it says depart from me i never knew you is this get to know him and then you won't be scared of that you might get in trouble for something but it won't be that you never knew him it's easy to solve that scripture let me tell you what's a harder one here's here's a much more scary verse to me and simpson went out as before and knew not that the spirit of the lord had departed from him he got so carnal he couldn't tell when god was with him and when god wasn't anymore that is a scary verse to me depart from me i never knew you no no whatever jesus says to me it won't be troy i never knew you i've got a 35-year history of knowing king jesus and he's so good y'all he's so good in spite of me and in spite of you and in spite of the world that we live in the goodness of god is so amazing so i'm going to be teaching part 4 on this i'm going to rehack a little bit back from the very first one to get us cranked up into the place where we're going and in the very first of these four messages i preached a message that was called the holy trinity now i was talking of course about the father son and the holy spirit but i ended up talking also about time space and matter now one of the things that we discovered is that yes the trinity is real and not only is the trinity real it's real that they are uniquely different all three but it's also real that you can't separate them and you have to be able to to be willing to wrap your head around that like well that doesn't make any sense yes it does you there's three different parts of you that are completely different but there's only one of you there's your body there's your soul your mind your will your emotions all of that and then there's your spirit those are three completely different parts of you why because you're made in the image of god being made in the image of god is not about race being made in the image of god is not about gender being made in the image of god is something completely different and the proof that you belong to god is that you are in his image jesus said let me see that coin he pulls out a coin and says hey who's whose image is on this it says caesar's i mean throws it back out and says well then give that to caesar because it belongs to caesar you can tell you who you belong to or you can tell you can tell who owns you by the image that is upon you so the life-giving side of god is the father and he is the father of lights every good and perfect gift comes down from him the giving side of god is the father the creating side of god is king jesus the creating side of god is king jesus all things are made by him and all things are my and all things were made for him and there's nothing that was made that was not made by him and then the empowering side the supernatural empowering side of god is the holy spirit and we spent some time talking about that and we spent some time talking about those three different sets but i never actually got into the part where you really need to be able to contemplate and to reckon within your own heart and within your own mind the importance of okay now that i'm in this stage i need to go into the next stage and once i'm in that stage then i'm going to go into the next stage and specifically these three different stages and how important it is that we get into this third stage or this third place like what are you talking about i'm talking about the reality of all the different examples of the word of god that shows us that you know the first place it's a pretty big place and a lot of people will fit into that but then the second place is a whole lot smaller and then the third place is tiny but i'm telling you go after that anyway like what what i'm talking about the temple the outer court the inner court and the most holy place the outer court is real big the inner court well you got to be a levite you got to be a priest to enter into it and then in order to enter into the most holy place there's only one guy here that gets into that and you got to be the high priest and so it's like a big group of people and then a lesser group of people and then then it's something exclusive every single one of us in here has a third stage that is exclusive to us and this it's one of the things friends that you're going to have to battle throughout your lifetime is that god's going to give you such a powerful walk and there are going to be things man that makes sense to you and don't make sense to anybody else and some folks are going to criticize you and they're going to be ugly to you about it and they're good some people are going to mock you and they're going to make fun of you but what's really is you can you can sit back and just go well man this is a lonely difficult hard place or you can see it as no this is exclusive they were not invited into this and they didn't have the courage and the faith and the grace to enter into this thing that i've entered into that's different i don't think that there was ever a high priest that was in the presence of the most high god in the holy of holies going i'm so lonely he was in the presence of god and the whole world was looking at him going you've got this you can do this oh my and i think that there is a big difference as we begin to mature in the things of the lord and we begin to understand man this isn't loneliness this is exclusiveness big difference between loneliness and exclusiveness i don't mean to belittle anybody's loneliness because i know that loneliness hurts and i'm so sorry but i can tell you this and some of the places where you might be struggling with i want it so bad to share this with so many people that thing's for you and it's not for everybody else have you ever had an encounter with god or you had a dream or you had a revelation or you heard something cool uh you know you read some scripture and it blew your mind and you gonna tell all your close friends and go oh listen listen there's nothing but crickets one near as cool to them as it was as as it was to you that's a big red flag but that's something exclusive that the lord has given you permission and he's given you an invitation he's given you a green light come in to me with this thing you know the bible says one one scripture the shortest scripture in the entire bible is two words jesus wept okay what is what's happening there it's because lazarus died it ain't because lazarus died he already knew lazarus was going to die it was when he tried to share with his disciples he was going to raise him from the dead and they didn't get it then he went to martha and he tried to share with her hey i'm going to raise jesus from the dead then he went to mary and said hey i'm gonna i'm gonna raise lazarus from the dead and all she did was freak out and the bible says that when he saw her weeping and when he saw the others weeping he wept it hurt that not one person got it that's just part of the human condition it's just part of the human experience that you're going to experience things in king jesus that it hurts because you don't really have the words to share it with anybody else and even when you think you got it figured out how to share it with everybody else you can't well like that that hurts yep it does it it does hurt here's what i say do it anyway have those encounters with jesus go on those missing strips hear god speak see signs miracles and wonders study the word of god be involved with people it's risky so these three different phases of outer court inner court most holy place is also abraham and isaac and jacob it's also saul and david in solomon it's actually peter in james and john right it's 30-fold 60-fold 100-fold man i want to live in 100-fold christianity and i'm not saying that i do i i'm not saying that i live in 100 folk christianity but i'm saying i want to go after it this one thing i do forgetting those things that are behind me and pressing forward towards a mark of the high calling which is in christ jesus press forward i'm going in i'm going in i'm going in i'm in i mean let's keep going let's keep going let's keep going you know man uh i see andy dally is in here and andy dally was just an amazing rodeo cowboy whenever we were in high school and uh i i'm not i'm not kidding you i bet you i rode 30 bulls before i ever rode one maybe 40 and andy put me on every kind of bull you can possibly imagine you remember all that man and one of them was really big too wasn't it andy one of them was huge one of them didn't even fit in the chute i had to go out with my boots out on top of that bull's back because it was so huge that's because i had a girlfriend i was trying to impress back then she nearly got me killed but i mean i just kept hitting the ground i kept hitting the ground and kept hitting the ground kept hitting the ground kept hitting the ground and kept broke this broke that broke this hurt that and i finally got one road finally went the whole 8 seconds and you know what i did after that i retired thanks skippy i was like i cannot live my whole life after trying to ride all these bulls and not get one covered i've got to get one covered in my lifetime well friend g that was a long long long time ago it's been a long time since i was 17. and just exactly like that you're gonna have to keep pressing in it's going to hurt and you're going to have to keep pressing in and it's going to hurt and you're going to have to keep pressing in and it's going to hurt the word of god says that when it comes to the will of god that there is in romans 12 verse 2 the good the acceptable and the perfect the good is what most godly people of faith press into and let me tell you what the good will of god is it's going to be extremely messy but it's in the early stages of its development that's why at the end of all seven days of creation god looked at that mess and that chaos and all that unfinished business and he said it's good the good will of god is it's there but it doesn't look anything like what it's going to look like it's just that god almighty has decided he's going to call it good and sometimes sometimes when you first introduce faith into your life and you begin to stand with king jesus you stand with jesus in the biggest mess you can possibly imagine you do not have a strategy you do not have a plan uh you don't really have language you might have one scripture and then you might not even have a scripture you're just like i'm going to believe god and it's a mess but you can still call it good but then after the good will of god you know what the next one is it's the acceptable will of god that you might be able to prove what the bible says prove you know you know what it means to prove alcohol right it's 80 proof like no we've never had anything but grape juice our entire life pastor troy good that's good but that whole term proof means literally to qualify it and to prove it right to actually say this is what's real and this is what's authentic well if you're going to prove the will of god then it is good it is acceptable and acceptable means you can live with it and there's a lot of things that are that we settle for that we just say hey i can live with that i mean that's that's extraordinary it's not what i wanted it to be and it's not ultimately what it could have been but i'll tell you what i can sure live with that and then finally the third stage of the will of god is perfect and perfect remember friends does not mean flawless perfect means all the way and sometimes man you're going to have a field that is perfect and it's still going to have weeds in it like how in the world could you say that it's perfect because it has its highest potential of a harvest in spite of the weeds but someday the lord of the harvest will show up and he will gather and separate the weeds and burn the weeds you're not supposed to be somebody who says well i can't have any weeds in my field i can't have any mistakes i i must have everything figured out those people never walk with god because that's what they think perfection is perfection is all the way in be perfect really god you want me to be perfect yeah i want you to be all the way in that's what i want i don't god's not asking you to be flawless he's not asking you to present a weedless harvest but he does want to harvest and some people are going to give him 30 fold some people are going to give him 60 fold and some people are going to give him 100 fold it's the sun and the moon and the stars it's death burial resurrection it's humility conviction repentance it's knowledge understanding and wisdom it's loneliness meekness and long-suffering it's god is love god is spirit god is light the power of the devil is to accuse to deceive and to condemn three mountains in jerusalem as gilead moriah and zion we could go on and on and on all the way through the word of god of i mean just countless examples of these three stages and yet there's so little taught about it within the body of king jesus and guys i can't see the bible without seeing this thing that you have to be willing to go through this process when john chapter 1 verse 3 it says all things are made by him and without him was not anything made that was made do we agree with that guys that jesus made all things then do you remember whenever whenever we were talking about the creation story that john chapter one starts off like genesis chapter one and john chapter 1 begins to tell us how that i saw the beginning i saw it all and it was incredible and here's what i saw i saw jesus there and then of course genesis tells us that as well in genesis 1 it says in the beginning god created the heaven and the earth and in the beginning it's time and god created the heaven and space and the earth is matter and here we got these three stages again of time and space and matter it's like okay so everything within the material universe that god almighty ours i should say king jesus himself as god almighty created falls into these three different categories there's time and by the way time has passed present and future there's heaven and heaven by the way has height width and depth and then there's matter and matter by the way has protons neutrons and electrons these three stages over and over and over again in all of the material universe everything that jesus created everything that he created has these three different stages and here's what i want to tell you he's over all those things he's over every single bit of it the reason why everything has three stages within it is so that we'll know the father and the son and the holy spirit so all the great works of god everything that he does everything that is manifest to you as a human being everything you've ever perceived everything you've ever heard everything you've ever seen anything that you've ever discerned or felt or touched it all falls into three different categories time space and matter and everything that you've ever imagined is within that category and if you've ever imagined or ever experienced king jesus it's because heaven invaded one of those three categories which means god has no problem with stepping into time or space or matter he's a master of dealing with time space and matter he truly is and god almighty works in those three different categories up on behalf of his children he works in all those things and that's why romans 8 verse 28 says and we know they end all things everybody say all things god works for the good of those who love him and who have been called according to his purpose i'm telling you right now god will step into your time he will step into your space he will step into your matter for your sake he will he absolutely will do that psalm chapter 86 verse 8 is interesting to me and you know 86 is an interesting number i've done a huge study throughout the years on 86 but if you're in military and if you say 86 that it means kill it are y'all right yeah so you know that right well psalms 86 verse 8 and 8 represents new beginnings all the way through the word of god there's a new beginning that the lord has for every single one of us as we lay down our lives over and over and over and over and over again it has to do with how we lay down our lives in psalms 86 verse 8 the psalmist says among the gods there is none like you o lord nor are there any works like your works well in all things god works together for the good of those who love him and who are called according to his purpose and i think that one of the things if you're going to get this redeeming your timeline message one of the things that you have to know is this god is not afraid to jump into your time or your space or your matter and it means listen that's the only way he can interact with you is if god gets involved in your time or your space or your matter there's no other way that god can interact with you because everything that you're capable of doing or knowing is within the aquarium of time space or matter right okay so i want to just kind of change gears just a little bit and say this that when i was a little boy i said a prayer every time i ate it was this it went like this god is great god is good let us thank him for our food now i say in jesus name amen and i'd be done and people say well you know what that's just stupid boy i wish every single kid in the united states would be saying god is great god is good those are good foundations for you to teach your kids it's not silly well it's vain repetition shut up you devil there's nothing wrong nothing wrong in the world these same as that people say you can't pray in any vain repetition whatsoever get up and say our father who art and you know how that prayer starts off when you pray do not pray in vain repetition but rather pray like this our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name because because we're crazy people that's why there is nothing wrong with you teaching your kids fundamental principles and there is over and over and over again and friends you don't need any religious devil's approval to teach your kids what's real and what's not amen so i grew up saying god is great god is good and what i found out is that the goodness of god is in tandem with his greatness because the goodness of god is is a tremendous way that the lord speaks to me and and it's something it's a huge part of the mission that i have is to bring the goodness of god into all kinds of situations and i when i think of the goodness of god i think about the manifest presence of the lord like what are you talking about well anything that we look at that has to do with time space or matter anything that has happened or we think is going to happen within this thing of of the goodness and the greatness of god now the goodness of god is when god almighty makes himself manifest how do i know that because whenever whenever brother moses said hey i want to see your glory he said okay i shall cause my goodness to pass before you but before i get off into the manifest presence of the lord and being able to see that you need to know that you are responsible for the lens of how you view everything this is why you need to teach your children a world view i had a a talk with a eight-year-old young man yesterday and he had a talk with me and to tell me how that he had learned in school how that america was bad and how america he learned in school was taught you know america is the proper reason the world is so messed up he's eight and it didn't shock me um it sickened me but it didn't shock me and i didn't lose hope for this young man because i know his parents and i know that they will i know that they're teaching him a foundation but think of all the kids that all they know is minecraft that's it i don't know nothing else and all they know is minecraft 24 hours a day on their mama and daddy's phone think of those kids that do not have a sheer foundation within their life and they're going to have evil presented to them as good and they're going to have good presented to them as evil and i i was thinking about this and i was thinking the responsibility that we have for our worldview is so huge friends it's just so big that we have to own the responsibility of our worldview well i can't help but view anything other than everything's messed up because the two people i've ever loved in my life they both left me no you still own the responsibility of if you see god is good or not it's not up to those people who hurt you if you see god as good or not it's up to you if you see that god is good or not look justice is coming to them the lord's the lord jesus says woe to those people who do such offenses but do you know what he says right after just right before that he said it's impossible but that offense has come he's like you need to own the responsibility of dealing with the hurts of life and and then i will own the responsibility of bringing justice to those people who do those things to you so that's a good word but friends we have to own the responsibility of the lens you know jesus says in matthew chapter 6 verse 22 he says the light of the body is the eye and if therefore your eye is single the whole body shall be full of light but if your eye is evil then the whole body shall be full of darkness having a single eye what does that mean it means a non-fragmented view and you have to own the responsibility of that and friends i have to own the responsibility of that my worldview and if you're like i don't really if you don't know the term worldview you need to do a google search on world view and then look up a christian world view and make sure that that's the lens that you see things through it's based upon the word of god okay well just exactly like that what's really is if your lens is wrong everything in your life will be dark and that's what jesus says so one of the lenses you have to know one of the fundamental things that you have to understand about the perspective that god almighty has given you is this i can never ever ever let go of the fact that god is good god is great the greatness of god and the goodness of god belong to you and friends you're going to know about bad things can god trust you with that or does he have to keep you in the cellar can the lord trust you with a big old giant monster world or are you someone that you're a baby and you have to stay in the crib see if you're gonna grow up and if you're gonna be a mighty warrior with king jesus you're gonna have to come across stuff that you don't get and you don't understand and you're going to have to decide i refuse to be impressed with that level of evil i want to be because that's scary but no i'm going to be impressed with the goodness and the greatness of god and the lord's like what's that kid hanging on that lens that's cool watch that watch that that is awesome and he's paying attention to that and so we have to own the responsibility of that when it comes to the goodness of god i am always highlighting the goodness of god because the goodness of god is something that the the lord stirs up in my spirit and god uses it to keep me passionate he uses it to keep me steadfast i i hear from people all the time i don't know how you do it i don't know how you do i don't know what else to do if i knew some other way to do things i would probably do it another way but i don't know how to not be in fifth gear all the time well it's gonna kill you no sitting on your butt is what'll kill you and not doing anything i tell you how many people are concerned with my help with my health because they won't leave their house and they won't make a difference and they have no fruit to show of their own ministry so all they do is criticize other people's ministries no i'm thank you for your concern but psalms chapter 27 verse 13 says i would have fainted i would have lost heart unless i had believed that i would see the goodness of the lord in the land of the giving in in the in the land of the living i want to tell you you will keep giving your life and giving your life and giving your life and giving your life if you believe i'm going to see the goodness of god today you watch i'm so convinced that i'm going to see the goodness of god that i literally pray this insane prayer every single day of my life thank you god for all the good things that you have coming to me that i don't have a clue about i'm going to see something today i've never seen before and i'm going to be so impressed i already have a response in my spirit to go whoa that's what i was looking for and i didn't even know what it was i was looking for i didn't even know but i'm like okay wow that is awesome thank you romans chapter 12 verse 21 says what'll make you an overcomer is if you refuse to be overcome by evil but you overcome evil with good now you're like okay i'm all about the goodness of god so you guys know we're all about the goodness of god but let me finish up here by talking to you about the greatness of god because if you just believe in the goodness of god but you believe god is impotent okay that's that's a problem well he's good but he's there's really not much god can do i mean if it's in my history there's nothing god can do about it that's insulting it's insulting to the lord okay well yes god is good but i'm i'm but i am of a certain race within a certain society and there's nothing that god can do about it oh yes he can he can raise you up you don't think that jesus understands about racial stuff he was a jew in the midst of roman occupied israel you don't think he understands oh no he understands okay well uh okay okay look i know god is good but i i'm poor i've always been poor and there's nothing the lord can do you know i'm just gonna be poor and there's nothing anybody dude listen it's it's great to believe that god is good but you can't just believe god is good if you're not going to believe he's great god is great god is good let us take him for our food i learned that when i was three and it's amazing how what you can learn at three you cannot teach a third year theology student the simplicity of the greatness and the goodness of god he's good hallelujah luke chapter 18 verse 27 says these things are impossible with men but they are possible with god if you're going to if you're going to believe that god can interact with your if or if if you're going to believe that you will see the goodness of god in your time and in your space and in your matter you've got to believe that what is impossible for you is not impossible for him that it's actually possible now here's the deal a lot of people who believe that with god all things are possible do not believe that god is good enough to do it and a lot of people who believe that god is good enough to do it do not believe that god is powerful enough to do it yes he is and you are responsible for that lens and if you do not see it that way the parts of your life that are supposed to be full of life will indeed be dark psalms chapter 86 verse 8 among gods there is no other like you nor are there any works that are like your works first from verse 8 the greatness of god makes him greater than all the other gods there's none like you like well there's no other god listen you need to take that very very very seriously i was reading what john popper had to say about it this week and he had some brilliant stuff about this one of the things that he pointed out was that first corinthians 8 verse 5 says that there are many gods and many lords and paul's means that there are demons there are evil spirits first corinthians 10 20. satan himself is called the god of this world in second corinthians 4 4 and the god of this age in john 12 31 therefore you can believe that david meant what he was talking about whenever he wrote this and he said there's no other god that's like you and nor are there any other works that are like your works first john chapter 5 verse 19 says the whole world lies in the power of the devil right that's first john 5 19. but know this john 1 john 4 4 says he who is greater in you is greater who is in the world well i want to tell you there's tons and tons and tons of revelation that go with this scripture but one of them is this greater is he who is in me than he that is in the world right okay do you know who else is in the world i am the one that is in me is greater than me so if i mess something up he can handle it so i don't got to be worried about everywhere i go i can't never make a mistake everything has to go perfect i got to make sure everybody's happy with what i do and what i say and i got to make sure that i got everything figured out no i don't i have to carry the presence of jesus with me into all those places because greater is he who is within me than me oh i believe in the goodness of god and i believe in the power of god i sure do all right in conclusion guys i want to just say this that when god created all things and he joined his creation to time into space and the matter he programmed his dna with components of hope that cannot be altered and friends i want in every single situation there is a component of hope that god almighty has already placed in that in all things that are created but the deal is this if you don't seek the kingdom first you will never see those things you will only be a reactionary leader friends i want to tell you one of the reasons why churches cannot grow and churches cannot guys i go through this whole church and i tell my whole staff if you're not if you're just standing there shooting the bull you're just a reactionary leader go find somebody and bring the kingdom to them go go go do not be standing around waiting for something to show up for you to solve go challenge something and solve it and make it better and take it from here to there and go go go go go go do not be a reactionary leader most churches will never grow because all they have is reactionary leaders and do you know why people are reactionary leaders because they're lazy they don't want to engage they're scared they're going to mess up they're scared they're going to get in over their head don't be like that god almighty has given you the command to go and in everything you get involved in there's a component of hope that is in there that you never would have seen had you not been engaged in it oh the sweet redemption of king jesus is meant to be discovered and experienced without measure i'm reading the conclusion of my book and this is what it says our key to the power of this beautiful marriage between the lord and his bride is simply never being able to imagine any single part of our lives without first thinking about our life with him that's the key to any beautiful marriage so in wrapping this up let me remind you that you will still have time your pastime is still your pastime and jesus wants you to discover him and experience him there your present time is your time with him to live and to breathe his life more abundantly and your future time is ready to be the room where jesus is unveiling his glory and new prophetic upgrades and green lights of joyous discovery and adventure jesus is thrilled at the opportunity to live life with you in the dangerous places of time and space and matter his heart longs to find us thrilled at the same opportunity to live with him in those same places when we find him there we find that he is not afraid he is victorious and he is full of hope he is full of appreciation and love of life he is willing and ready to confront evil and bless every place with transformation in his kingdom dominion he wants to find us in those same exact places exactly like he is he wants to make us be as he is because we see him instead of seeing our slave master in the past the present or the future the promise of the word of god is that when we do see him we will be like him and now that is redeeming time first john 3 2 but we know that when he is revealed we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is hope for every season a cross for every time redemption and exchange of life for death for every hour of the day [Music] so now it is time to accept the invitation the permission and the commandment to change your measures of time to places where king jesus rules from his throne he wants to bring his kingdom and save you in every way that a person can be saved our redeemer lives and he is not subject to time time is made subject to him redeeming time says the salvation of your past present and future is not behind you it's not in front of you it's right now the great i am is ready to bring your redemption and your salvation to all things past present and future he's ready right now and second corinthians chapter 6 verse 2 says in an acceptable time i have heard you and in the day of salvation i have helped you behold now is the accepted time and behold now is the day of salvation peace to you in jesus name guys let's give the lord a great big praise first i want to ask you all to stand up
