The Whirlwind by Victor Jackson

[Music] [Music] [Music] in the beginning was the word and the Word was with God and the Word was God the same was in the beginning with God he said unto them go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be damned these signs shall follow them that believe in my name shall they cast out Devils they shall speak with new tongues they shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover well praise the Lord everybody I tell you what I'm just so excited to get to be here and man I tell you what I think I killed all the walls before service and so there will no be there will not be any walls in the name of Jesus while I am preaching and so last time it was during the climax of my message and no one heard the climax of my message a man a man and so I'm so thankful for this wonderful church this church has been such a blessing to me I reminisce this week literally God called to remembrance I was talking with someone about my testimony he wanted to know my testimony and I remembered that about a week before this Youth Congress in 2009 in Tennessee before brother Jeter drove us to you the Congress in 2009 and the church bus I didn't know that I was going I was playing college basketball but then after this Bible study joke and patellas said so victor be ready next week and we're gonna pick you up that this time I was like what are you talking about he goes you're going to Youth Congress I was like no I'm not what are you talking about he said the Richardson's and the varnum's they and the Hugh's got together and paid for your way to go to Youth Congress amen and that was the Youth Congress where God called me to the Ministry and so this church has invested in me and everything I am is because of what this wonderful church has put into me can you give yourselves a hand clap and I thank God for that and I tell you people here have opened up their homes to me by the hearse the freight to his family the Hughes I could go on the James family so many families opened up their home sister Lorna as I could just go on and on the Billingsley family I can just go on and on of people that have opened up their homes allowed me to sit at their table and fellowship and not only break the bread of life but it's some good food hallelujah I just believe I believe in good food hallelujah and appreciate so much pastor Jason and sister Halina and Bishop Varnum and sister Varnum and every time I come I made sure that I give honor to them because of what they have imparted into me continually keep in touch with him once one two three times a week actually it used to be once a week but I'm in some treacherous waters so it's been about three times a week now hallelujah and just appreciate his guidance amen I'm nothing without this root system I'm only able to do what I do because of these roots thank you for praying for me thank you for praying for me and the curry family I'm telling you what I'm just blessed give honor to my beautiful wife Louisa a man and my son James Asher he's with the kids right now he's gonna be with me tonight might have him testify tonight a man was he see what he has to say from the Lord amen three-year-old he's a lot of fun why don't we open up our Bibles to the book of Job chapter 38 man I tell you what you guys are amazing I'm just excited job chapter 38 and verse 1 thank you to my armor bearers thank you so much for your help if you have its a man then the Lord answered job out of the whirlwind who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge gird up now thine loins like a man for I will demand of thee and answer thou me where was thy when I laid the foundations of the earth declare if thou hath understanding who hath laid the measures thereof if found Noah star who hath stretched the line upon it whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened or who hath laid the cornerstone thereof when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy or who shut up the sea with doors when it break forth as if it had issued out of the wound when I made the cloud the garment thereof in thick darkness was a swaddling ban for it I want to preach to you out of verse 1 the thought where it says that the Lord answered job out of the whirlwind I want to preach on this subject this morning out of the whirlwind out of the whirlwind why don't you lay your Bibles down everyone close your eyes lift up your hand and let's ask the Lord to do exactly what he wants to do can you open up your mouth and pray right now Lord bless your people this morning Lord you are the vine and we are the branches we're nothing without you let there be a word that comes from heaven let there be a stillness Thunder being Lord let your word be like a sword this morning let it be like a hammer that brick at the rocks let it be like a fire let it let it be like the sincere milk that washes every person in this building do something in us that'll change us forever in Jesus name Amen can you clap your hands unto the Lord come on if you're excited can you clap those hands a little bit louder come on if you believe that God is here why don't we clap our hands all ye people and somebody shout unto God with the voice of triumph it hallelujah a man somebody shout yes you may be seated in the presence of the Lord out of the whirlwind the psalmist said in Psalm chapter four verse one he said it this way he said hear me when I call o God of my righteousness thou has enlarged me when I was in distress David said you didn't grow me when everything was going good in my life you enlarged me when I was in trouble you did your best work in me not when things were going well but it was in the tough times that you begin to load me into what you wanted me to be he said I hated the trouble the trouble was painful and it hurt me but when I look back at what you did on the inside of me I thank God for the trouble because you grew me in my despair is that anybody's testimony here hallelujah I hated the trouble the trouble was painful the chaos when he came into my life I actually wanted to curse God and die because the pain was so unbearable huh I felt like giving up but when I began to look at my trouble a little closer I saw that God was growing me and he was conforming me into something amazing one of the most often quoted and misquoted scriptures is Romans 8:28 this is the most abused scripture in the Bible and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God to them who are called according to his purpose we like the quote that scripture wrong because what we like to say is all things work together for our good I see you've mistreated a few times yourself hallelujah we like to say all things work together for our good that's not what the Bible says it says for good now here's my question who's that finition of good is this because you and I have different definitions according to our backgrounds and everything how we were raised and what we've gone through you and I have different definitions of what the word good really means if I was a homeless person my whole life and someone came and blessed me with labor yes they were pierced to the heart about this and said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles brothers what should we do Peter replied repent and be baptized each of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins Holy Spirit for the problem this is a curse you have different definitions of what the word good means based on our background so this is not our definition of good this is God's definition of good the Greek word for good is Agathis which literally means intrinsically good it's what happens on the inside that makes the trial good so the success of a trial it's not the outcome but it's what you become in the trial that makes it successful so even if I lose everything god still use that to make me more like him that's why it's good I am becoming something in my frustration I am becoming something in my heartache my dilemma and he is using all my circumstances to conform to who and what he wants me to be and I can say is successful cuz if he doesn't change my situation around he will use my situation to change me around so even huh so even if I lose everything he still used my loss to make me more like him there's people here that's looking at your situation and you're saying god when you're gonna turn it around huh and you're wondering what's happening at you huh and you feel stagnant huh you feel like you're not growing huh you've been in the same situation for months and years huh you say what's going on god you're not turning my circumstance around but if you look the surface in your life you become more humble has somebody there's a sincerity in you that you haven't recognized you're saying man I must not be doing good because the marriage is still battling because the kids are still wayward and God are you even hearing my prayers but beneath the surface God is beginning to mold you into what he wants you to be huh come on somebody huh you don't complain as much anymore huh you become more thankful you become more grateful for the small things come on somebody you thankful for a smile you're thankful to have family now you have people that are in your corner whether you're doing well or not and it is those small things that God is using to conform that's what verse 29 says for whom he did foreknow he also did predestinate to be conformed into the image of his son he is using all of your affliction all of your pain all of the chaos he's using it to conform you into the image of his son huh and we think the image of the son is somehow this perfect image huh man I feel like preaching right now we think the image of his son is somehow this perfect image that that you can never attain huh but you can know him in the Fellowship of his sufferings huh it's not just the resurrection where you gonna be like him you can come alongside him huh and he'll get into your sufferings and he will conform you into what he was on the cross come on somebody when you get betrayed your make you are becoming like him because he was betrayed but but I used Judas betrayal to fulfill my will hello you needed Judas just as much I needed Judas because if there was no Judas I never go to the cross so I needed the pain and the hurt to get me in position where I can be most effective the same people that are hurting you are the same people that are helping you the same people you can't live with or the same people you can't live without because God is using them to keep you to the cross he is using them to conform you he's using you I kid you on your knees oh my oh you didn't like that because like if I got rid of them you'd be a babe in Christ so guys like I'm just keeping there a while and I hear you crying out for me to do something to them but I'm not because I like what you're becoming cuz now you're in the halter you never used to come to the altar but I see since that pain is coming to your life you always come up front and bring how you used to sit in the back fold your arms leave before church service is over but now since the struggles happen you're the first one to come up front you're the first one to lift their head I like what you are but I may tell you man cannot become great with just the breath of God alone we all pray God breathed on my family breathe on my finances breathe in my church breathe Lord breathe Lord breathe but man can't become with just the breath of God there must be some dirt somewhere and it's when the breath mixes with the dirt that man becomes a living soul it is like God's breath mixes with man's problems that man becomes a living soul yet dirt does not disqualify you from a move of God God let's say yogurt has potential and says I can make something of that RA that's Ryle see you see you don't want to really break through like you want because everywhere you go you carry this dirt around huh hey you say God huh I wish you could do something in my family huh but all this dirt that I'm carrying huh I know you can't do anything into me huh but can I tell you you can't grow it's just God's breath it's the dirt in your hands huh that has potential huh if you'll just lift it up and a service huh you just throw the dirt to the to the wind and all of a sudden you won't start becoming something just give it to the breath see you want to hide your dirt under a Pew nothing's wrong with me oh my god the church willing go down god bless you sister oh I'm blessed how are you family's doing well marriage is amazing it's gonna scoot this under my seat God says the more you hide it that doesn't allow me to use it come on somebody you know we we think we're so smart that we can hide our stuff from God and then we come in you know act like nothing's wrong in his presence I don't want to really cry because people in the church might see something's going on in my family so I'm just gonna stay here that's good God's looking at you like it could be better if you would give this to me hello God wants to use that thing that you're trying to hide he wants you to give it to him so he can use it to make you become like him he will not waste any persons dirt here he will recycle it he will use it to make you into something better he will use it to make you into something greater he will use it into make you something more powerful if you would just be vulnerable in his presence it's not acting like nothing's wrong but you're just violet you know those astronauts they can see the Earth from space and these astronauts they can see the Sahara Desert from space and they can see the wind storms from the Sahara Desert from space they can see the wind storms as it carries the dirt and they watch it from space as the wind picks up the dirt of the Sahara and it brings in 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean and the wind carries the dirt from the Sahara 3,000 miles away from Africa and it drops it into the Amazon basin and when the dirt touches the ground the dirt becomes fertilizer for the plants in the Amazon and the plants will die if there's no dirt that comes but when the dirt finds a spot when the dirt comes down and fertilizes the plants what am I saying I'm saying that your problems are our fertilizing what God has already put in you your problems are fertilizing the destiny pick up your dirt I don't know where everybody's from I don't know if you're from Jamaica I don't know if you're from Australia I don't know where you're from but the wind picked you up and look for its urge to drop your problem in so you can be productive come on somebody here's a win now the spot help you where your authority can cry [Applause] the wind doesn't just drop you off with some random ocean it picks up your dirt and says where's the best spot they can grow come on somebody he brought some of y'all from New York he brought some of y'all from up north he brought and he said you know I gotta find a spot and there's a little city and Bellevue Florida huh 1.8 square miles with 4,500 people in the city I'm gonna drop that dirt in souls Harbor because I found a place where your problem your problem stop using your dirt as a reason to leave and use it as a reason to spray I wish somebody would clap their hands and thank God for the breath and thank God for the wind I wish somebody would lift up their voice I thank God that you are becoming something I wish you except a little louder I wish you and lift up your voice a little louder I wish the body with shout a little louder because he is using your problem to make you become haha see The Devil's trying to convince you huh why don't you give up your walk with God you're still carrying that dirt around huh why you still going to that church huh you're still battling with that dirt again huh you start believing the lies and all of a sudden you don't feel like you're qualified for a breakthrough anymore huh you don't feel like you're qualified for an anointing huh you feel like the devil has won in your family no huh as long as you allow God to breathe on it huh come on somebody huh he can turn that situation around he can turn your life around he can turn your doubts around he could turn your pain around he could turn your failure around if you allow him to chaos you used the dirt the wind doesn't make mistakes he brought me from Louisiana first 18 years of my life and he just dumped me off me and all of my dysfunction me and all of my abusive upbringing beaten i babbled for the first five years of my life I could not speak a word of English intelligibly huh because of the abuse and trauma that I was raised in huh my mom had to send me to speech therapist huh for a year to teach me how to talk because I still babble in kindergarten huh and for a year I was there learning how to talk learning how to speak because the abuse was so bad in my life I know you're looking at me like I was born in a suit or something huh like I was raised in a suit but you're not knowing all the hell that I came out of and that abusive boy that felt like he can never be anything for anyone or any God he picked up that dirt out of Louisiana and he brought him on a flight to Bellevue church for you I got a church for you and everything that devil try to destroy you with I will use it if you let me I'll use it if you let me know how disqualified I felt when I came into the kingdom huh looking at people come on somebody huh looking at people that seem perfect Here I am battling with insecurities Here I am battling there were church folk that came to me huh and I'll never forget brother Don Ellis he hooked me right there and when he hugged me right there my first year in church he wrapped his arms around me and he said I love you huh and I couldn't believe him you can love someone like me huh you can love someone tainted like me with all this dirt in my love a sudden the wind began to convince me the wind began to convince me how the family found a place to grow so where you need to be [Applause] [Music] [Applause] come on somebody lift up their voice for a moment and pray my mama Motori baby because he my mouse already here hey mama mama mama car yeah hey my mama I tell you hallelujah just let the wind work he's strategic how you picked me up from the city and dropped me in the country I said I'm a city boy hello brother hurts you're the first farm I ever met in my life and I'm not kidding they said what does he do he's a farmer what he took me from the city and put me at a table with the farmer and they invited me over and he had some good for more food in that video place and I might man farm is kind of nice hello I said he didn't randomly bring you here you're not just passing through you're not just trying it out to see what happens he found a place filled with mercy help me Holy Ghost I said you found a merciful place where What's in you can thrive and be productive if you allow it Genesis one and one says it this way in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters listen what it says it says and the earth was without form God created the earth without form he created the chaos to show us what happens when his word gets him to chaos and when his word gets into chaos it brings order he was showing us what happens when the earth yields to the word and yields to the spirit transformation happens that's why he said let there be light the word and let the spirit work in order for fruit to come forward he created the earth in bear form lease land nothing no fruit he created it in bitter form where his the revelation every planet throughout the galaxies in the universe God also created in Bear for what the earth used to be that's what the other planets are you own fine life out there unless you take the elements from down here to try to create life up there but the earth is chosen in itself that's the only planet where God uses his word and his spirit to actively change things so the earth looks through the telescope at the planets and says oh wow that used to be me until God got ahold of me is that anybody's testimony here this morning huh that used to be me until God's Word and his spirit got ahold of me huh I was lost than undone huh I couldn't make it huh I couldn't survive but then I loud I yield it to the word and yield it to the spirit and transformation happened he used the chaos so God can reveal his glory it's a man he used the chaos so man could see his majesty huh and the Bible says that the darkness was upon the face of the deep can I have a word for somebody here huh that the darkness was on the face of the deep that deep has a face and the face of the deep is darkness any time you're about to go to the next level the first thing that will come into your life is darkness darkness isn't a sign you're on the wrong track it's the face of the next level I'm trying to go deeper in God guys I will hear some darkness and I'm using the darkness to train you to see me in the darkness it's amazing that when you're in a building and you go in it and it's pitch black you can't see anything but you stand the darkness long enough your pupils begin they strike light where you can find light in the darkest place sometimes you could get in the darkness and you stay there long enough your eyes will start extracting God there's God in here somewhere you never used to appreciate God in the light when light was all around you you took it for granted you you're the person that no matter how blesses the business is you're like yeah but the kids are battling no matter how bless the kids are yeah but the business is battling no matter how blessed you can find darkness anywhere they all say you know what I'm put you in a dark place so I can join you and knowing in the darkness things are going bad for you but you're like but God's with me man don't you know you lost a job I know but God's providing he leaves you in the darkness long enough where it changes your mindset and you start seeing good out of bad situations instead of bad out of good situations but it uses the darkness the Jews define darkness as the trends the darkness and Eve and the evening time they define it as the transition point to the next day you say when you're in darkness when you're in the evening time it means you're in transition you are transitioning to a new day if you go six months and you don't see darkness one time in six months you've been in the same day for six months and because you've been in the same thing you've been in the same mercy but he said his mercies are new every morning well I can't get to morning unless I first endured night so when the darkness comes it is transitioning you into new mercy I said you gotta learn to thank God for the night seasons because it means he's transitioning you and to a new level and a new place I'm going I'm going somewhere if I'm helping you can't you leave a hand right now I'm just I'm just here to help somebody huh but God creates the chaos in your life hear me because you start appreciating his glory more whenever he creates the chaos we wanted to appreciate the majesty of the world if the world did not start in chaos when Joel lost everything and the Bible says for 38 chapters God didn't speak a word to Joe but finally in the 38th chapter the Bible says and the Lord answered job on of a whirlwind that whirlwind in the Hebrew it means a storm sometimes God's best answers huh come out of a storm sometimes the greatest revelations come out of the midst of chaos I cannot tell you God will use chaos to bring you out of that timid nature huh and bring you into desperation huh where you need something from God huh he'll use the chaos that gets you out of your comfort zone some of y'all like being in control too much y'all prize yourself and being so independent self-made Hey some of you are the worst passengers and drive in cars huh y'all part orders in the passenger seat go slow take a left slow down don't you know that's a bump you're on the wrong side of the road where are you going you like being in control even when you're not in control so what do you do when God has the steering wheel I told somebody you know God has a whale for your wheel Jonah you want to do your will I got a whale for your will and I will keep you in the whale long enough until my will becomes your will Jonah went into the will with his will and he came out of the will with God's will I don't want anymore I said keep your trouble long enough until you finally do something different but till you finally say something different but till you pilots like I've been different tell your pilot start worshiping because if you weren't worship voluntarily you'll raise up enough hell in your life to make you worship it voluntarily if you all pray voluntarily you'll raise up enough hell in your life to make it I wish somebody would voluntarily clap right now him I'm a suck-up a higher I said Jonah was in trouble until he turned towards the temple in the pally how do you know where the temple is where you're in the belly of a whale somehow the spirit drove him to the right posture where he got on his knees and say God I'll do whatever you want me to do what am I saying you decide when you're ready to come out of trouble but as long as you keep having your way you're just gonna stay there and be your same little this number now whatever you ready to come out whenever you're ready to get delivered huh whatever you ready to get an order huh Sam you go ahead and go I wish everybody in this building with stand to their feet and clap their hands huh and somebody lift up their voice ha ha dianna higher in lapa horebeek higher EEMA subtle Kataya hyah hyah hallelujah to God Alamo Maya hi

I preach judgment this morning you get mad at me and say why didn't he say something encouraging I preached some encouraging now you're saying man I wish he put some more meat on the bone how many times are you gonna divinely exempt yourself from every sermon it's amazing how every sermon is not for you hello if I preach about hunger you're like oh that's for the new convert if I press about faithfulness my oh that's for the older folks it's never for you and that's why you put in the belly of hell because you refuse to do anything different to get the leopard [Applause] so I hear the Lord saying you decide how long the whirlwind lasts hello you decide how long hit my a bit kya how long you want your family to be in that condition you decide how long you want your marriage to be that way some of you may rather be stubborn and be divorced then the humble yourself and remain together I feel like Richard figure right now how long do you want the whirlwind Thalassa but whenever you repent again whenever you'll get right again whenever you'll get a hunter again the whirlwind will say to His image I wish you would grab the person's hand next to you right now and I want you to

morning to say God said huh you're not waiting on me he said I'm waiting on you to turn in that belly huh and whenever you turn in that trouble huh and whenever you turn in that hell then whirlwind is gonna see something you're gonna see my Majesty Sabah hiya and I'm a host Allah and I hear the Lord saying and you would have been out of that trouble earlier and sooner if you wouldn't exempt it yourself from the last six message six six months of messages preached behind this pulpit I said he God said it would have been over quicker if you'd have been open quicker hello but I hear the Lord saying that I'm a merciful God but I'm a gracious God then I will try again and again and again and again and again until you finally do it I want you to do I hear the Lord reaching for you here this morning a lama Jose Chaya tell you well I'm a hoe so you know I've been in some situations in my life where I thought I was so right but I thought I was so right and this stuff kept happening I'm like what's going on it's like troubles following me and I'm like I know I'm right and just trouble just kept coming I'm like what's going on and then there was in a moment like this in the altar call where God said I need to fix something in you and when I saw that I was wrong I said God however pant I'm getting on track from this day for all of a sudden the piece came in my life sometimes trouble comes to push you in the right direction back to him because how many of you know we ignore weren't warning signs he said the voice was it in the earthquake the voice was it in the fire said he was in the still small voice but sometimes there has to be an earthquake that comes that till we finally listen that still small voice and I hear the Lord saying I've sent warning signs here and he said stop putting the blame on others as the problem are this are you are your situation won't change say you have to look in the mirror and say you know what I got to get some things right they says when you come for that moment then there would be a peace that comes but what we're gonna do together because I haven't been here on a Sunday more than a years in years but you know what I feel I feel like your heart has been opened the trouble finally opened that door of your heart where it's become tinder and the Lord said since they have a tender heart right now he says it's time for all of us to repent together I got a repent no one ever graduates from repentance I have to repent we're gonna repent together we're gonna ask God to forgive us for being stubborn for being hard-hearted we're gonna ask them to forgive us for wanting our will more than we want his will I'm gonna repent with you when we were pent org asking God got we're saying God God I turn away from these stubborn ways I turn away from this sinful condition I turn away from those things that have been holding me back from you and I turned my heart and my mind and my soul to you we're going to repent together I don't want you to meditate right now I want you to verbalize you don't have to name your sins but I do want you to talk to him I want you to confess to him that you want to do right and that you want to

your help come on that's it talk to him that's it talk to him huh books were opened and another book was opened which is the book of life and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works and the sea gave up the Dead which were in it and death and he'll delivered up the Dead which were in them and they were judged every man according to their works and death and he'll were cast into the lake of fire this is the second death and whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire [Music] we have identified what a Christian is what a Christian truly really is now if I were to ask you hey brother or sister what is the Christian or what does the word Christian mean I'm not going to ask you because I'm afraid you might tell me it means Christ like if you tell me the word Christian means Christ like all that simply means is you never looked it up you didn't look in the dictionary or the lexicon and my mama taught Susie my sister and I don't use words you haven't looked up because you might be using the word wrong so the word Christian does not mean Christ like on page 672 column 1 paragraph 3 of the greek-english lexicon of New Testament words by Joseph Henrich there he said the word Christian is from the Greek word cristianos and it means follower and a worshipper of Jesus Christ a Christian is somebody who follows and worships Jesus cause in reality we don't know nobody just like Jesus Jesus Christ has never been duplicated and never been replicated a follower and a
