behalf of reverend dr stephen francis cesar angeline francis and the big family of jesus my king church come on let's speak give a big god bless you and let's welcome dr bruce allen the man of god that god has sent to us this morning [Music] good morning and with that we can say amen and go home that was great no feedback okay hallelujah you know during worship i was freshman says don't go to sleep i'm not going to sleep i'm seeing what the lord is saying and this is a the picture he gave me i saw everybody in the room [Music] taking the gift that god has given you whether it's your business your ability to communicate your spiritual gifting whatever it was i saw it all going into a basket and coming at the foot of jesus and it was surrendered to the lord and the lord walked forward and he looked and smiled and blessed those gifts and returned them to the one who had offered all that they are to him and what came forth out of that wasn't 30 60 or 100 fold what came forth out of that was something new something that had the touch of god on it that's going to transform what you offer to god in humility from your heart whatever gift you have and it's going to be multiplied and become effective in this hour amen so i just want you to to think on that one of the things he's taught me to pray over the years is lord all that i am and all that i ever hope to be all of my gifts and anointings the revelation you've given me my successes and failures everything you've given me father i i've set it at your feet and i've watched it over the years as god has brought increase after increase and the only increase that really interests me to tell you the truth is the increase in my revelation and relationship with jesus and he's done that time and time again there is an end time provision for the people of god that comes from a yielded vessel of god so that you become a witness of the kingdom of god and when all the world is struggling and having difficulty in the days ahead they will look at you and say why are you at rest why are you at peace and why are you prospering we're in a season we're going to see just as the children of israel saw when they went for 40 years in the wilderness supernatural provisioning from heaven did they deserve it no did they appreciate it but no all they did was complain and murmur and gripe for 40 years they had the absolute manifest present of the living god pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night the shekinah and yet all they could do was complain but i'm persuaded that in this generation we're not like that it took 40 years to take lead them out of you know it was a it was only an 11 day journey to cross that wilderness 40 years of going in circles and if you study the word of god and you you dig out what the meaning of the names of every stop of the 41 stops in the wilderness it all had to do with issues of the heart the flesh life complaining bitterness gossip you you name it sometimes they went to the same place a number of times because they haven't dealt with those issues and the 42nd stop jesus is the 42nd generation was when they finally crossed into the promised land when we accepted jesus we crossed over those things are supposed to be done away with the murmuring the gossiping the complaining the backbiting the slander the the jealousy let it go just let it go and watch what god's going to do in this hour just a simple act of obedience lord i i submit all that you've given me at your feet it's yours i'm just a steward it's yours amen there's a great stirring in the spirit taking place i've been saying this for about a month there's been a real shift i feel this shift in the spirit there is a remnant i call it the bride the bridal company of believers how many of you realize the whole body of christ is not the bite of the bride of christ it cannot be scripturally it cannot be but it's the passionate remnant that are going to be the bride of christ dressed in that bridal garment with combat boots let me tell you a picture the lord showed me some time ago i don't know why i'm going this way but i will he defined for me what the church looks like today and then he took me to the word to show all this to me but i'm going to explain it to you we have multitudes in the world today that say they're christians why because i was baptized as a child but that doesn't make you a christian and so they go through the protocol of following the lord but from a great distance so you have just in the ministry of jesus multitudes would follow jesus for various reasons some of them were curious some of them had never heard anything like this i mean let's face it the drudgery of of first century life was pretty difficult and so when they had any distraction it became it it was easily become an entertainment oh do you want did you hear that guy let's go listen to this and so they were curious then you had of those multitudes those that came with genuine needs and hopes well maybe boy he's healing people and then you had those who came for the free lunch you read it in the gospels he fed the multitudes over 000 people with the loaves and fish and they followed him again they said and then he went to the other side of the lake and they all followed him and he said you didn't follow me because of who i am you followed me because of what i could give you and i'm paraphrasing it but that's what he said so we have those in christendom to do that then you have the next group he sent out 70 two by two so they have a they've stepped in a little bit closer and they they're doing the stuff then you have those who were the disciples even though one was a betrayer wrong motive and the disciples are the one that jesus invested himself in but it's not so much that he invested himself in them it's that they chose to spend their life with him 24 hours a day seven days a week 365 days a year they made jesus their magnificent obsession and of those 12 i guess said one one betrayed him because he got his hands on the money see that's why when we talk about a joseph generation so many in the church get oh good we're going to have all the wealth you're not ready you'll become a judas because wealth will destroy you and so of all the the disciples three jesus would take a side peter james and john and they had deeper revelation and insight and so then of the three there was only one disciple that used to lean upon his breast to know his very heartbeat john the beloved and in every church and in the christendom corporately around the world that's the picture we have the sad thing is most people don't realize that the good news is you can choose who you are in christ whether you're going to be a follower a doer a disciple or one who knows his very heart you choose remember choose this day who you're going to serve and when i get among a group of believers a remnant that are passionate and hungry for god it's you can feel it in the atmosphere things have shifted it's changed and god is paying heed and looking to those that are hungry and passionate for him not perfect not eloquent not well educated just passionate for jesus and the king of glory always responds to passion because he's a god of passion and he's looking for the same thing in his people and when you have a passion for god even though it might be childlike well that's almost biblical he responds and that's going to be the the difference in this hour not a desperation born of need but a passion born of a desire for intimacy that's going to what's that's what's going to set apart god's people in this hour and when you have that passion that's a grace from god that you choose to pursue and god puts it in your heart because the word of god says he will give you the desires of your heart that doesn't mean you could say well i want that new car today i want a corvette you know that's not got anything to do with it when the scripture teaches he will give you the desires of your heart that means he has burst within your heart a desire because he gives seed to the sower he puts a desire in your heart and if that desire in your heart is for ministry or for this type of service or to know him more you need to begin to rejoice now because he put it there and faithful is he who is calling you who's also going to do it and that's how you cannot become weary in well-doing because you know he's already drawing me into this but so many are confused i don't know if i have a calling of god what do i do what's my call well your first call your foremost call is to pursue him with everything you've got and then he births a desire in your heart i want to work with children i feel like i'm supposed to preach well i love to serve that's your calling and when you become faithful in that he gives you more it's very simple we've made it difficult religion makes the simple things difficult relation makes the difficult thing simple why i can't do it okay come on let me help you i've got to make it happen go ahead that's religion we've got to make it happen go ahead and you're frustrated all of your life but relationship is i give up of my own self i can't do anything he says that's correct follow me that's called the place of rest rest stop trying to accomplish god's purpose for your life rest in him and let him lead you into that purpose that's why we don't need to panic when the world's going to you know where in a handbasket we could be at rest and that will draw people to you why aren't you panicked why aren't you afraid why aren't you storing up or do nothing wrong with storing up if god tells you to but do you understand we're supposed to be different and it's beginning to manifest now we are at the end of the age and one of the greatest signs of the return of messiah is the ever-increasing presence of god among his people and his presence is going to continue in to increase in this end time church to the point where we were going to have a habitation unlike anything that's ever been witnessed before it's a fullness of time it's a fullness of presence it's a fullness of maturity he's going to bring everything to a conclusion and he said he's not going to do that until you see certain things and i'm not even talking matthew chapter 24. he's given me a different view of end time eschatology that most people haven't seen it this way i wrote a number of books promise of the third day that's a that's a book of end time eschatology only it's hidden in a prophetic uh metaphor that the lord's put in the word how about this end time eschatology isaiah 46 9 god declares the end from the beginning so you start studying genesis so you know what it's going to look like at the end of the age but but in our greco-roman mindset we fix on certain passages of scripture psalm 83 ezekiel you know daniel those nothing wrong with that that's a part of a whole though and the problem is we look at it through a western lens so we miss the whole picture rather than a hebraic understanding because this is written by a hebrew with a hebrew mindset do you know you can study the book of revelation based upon the hebrew understanding and get a whole different picture that's more accurate amen brother okay so we can't be dogmatic in our approach to we've got to be teachable when i worked at tbn back in the late 70s early 80s paul and jan crouch love to have eschatological teachers come on you know doug clark i mean on and on great late great planet earth that scared the snot out of me that book didn't it scare you some of you going what book hal lindsey i mean so he they would bring on pre-mid in post you know one who gets their first gifts the most okay you'll get that later too okay it must be sunday morning and so i mean and you would hear the one night pre-tribulation rapture and they would give such a convincing eschatological view you're going wow and then the next night it'll be mid-trib and you're going yeah yeah yeah that's it yeah yeah and then the final night it was at the end of the trip and you're going yeah yeah yeah and finally i just going like dear god this is so confusing lord what's right he said you really want to know when i'm coming i said yes sir he said i'm coming today you live every day like i'm coming today you'll be fine at first i thought he meant i was going to die you know i'm coming today but if you live every day looking for that great hope he's returned you'll be fine because when he comes your lamp will be trimmed and full because you're looking and you're living in expectation and here's a key that he taught me too that i didn't know at first if i'm always looking for his return he visits me because he comes i said okay lord i'm going to live that day every day so just about every morning when i get up i try and say to myself i'm so excited he's coming today he's coming today visitation brings revelation releases activation if i don't have an expectation i don't have faith amen jesus said will i find faith when i come if i don't have expectation then there's no faith but if i have faith there's expectation okay you'll figure that out i'm i poke at you on purpose okay because i know you're thinking on what i'm saying and so i just want to shake you up a little bit so don't throw anything yet later you can throw the gold coins not the bricks so one of the greatest signs we're going to see is the ever increasing presence of god among us you know we've actually had i had jesus challenge me one time in kuala lumpur going up in the elevator to the church up in it at the top of an industrial building we're going to have a conference and he said ask of me a sign and he told me two years earlier i want you to start believing for things you've never seen and never heard i said well how can i do that i've never seen or heard those things so the only thing i could come up with in my finite thinking was make it hard for god and easy for me as illogical as that is so we're going up the elevator and i i turned to the pastors that were hosting me i said the lord just told me to ask of him a sign they said okay what are you going to ask and i said lord i'm asking that you would show up tonight and every eye would see you and they got excited yes so we went into the meeting and you know what he showed up and everybody saw him and nobody recognized him until he vanished and i'm cutting this short and that when i heard that he had vanished because i didn't even recognize him you know i said lord that's not funny because i heard him laughing at me he said i gave you exactly what you asked for everybody did see me you didn't say they had to recognize me so i said okay lord i'm going to be specific he said that's what i wanted you to be that story went all over kuala lumpur all over malaysia and it wasn't a look at so and so it was a look at god we've come into a time that is so unique and so pregnant with potential remember you've been anointed sh because what comes out of your mouth is life and death and you better be aware of it now more than ever he gave me what i asked exactly as i asked it what you sow today you will reap tomorrow what you sow today you'll reap tomorrow when jesus talked about his return or second coming he used two primary greek or three primary greek words the first one was er comai which simply means to come as when he comes back with his angels with the resurrection of the dead that's the one where normal we understand that jesus is coming and when he returns is going to be the resurrection of the dead that's er coma that's what that means the second word is perusia which means the presencing of the lord that word was used in the classical greek to depict when an emperor was on a journey into a a foreign nation and he'd been traveling for a long time and he's tired of being on the road he decides you know pastor michael i'm going to come and spend some time at your house so he would presence himself together with pastor michael and stay there that's perusia the third greek word the third greek word is fana real fanario means that when he openly manifests himself to you so you see him those three greek words were lumped together in all eschatological teachings so that there was no differentiation and all we saw is when jesus comes back and we've missed some of the keys to show us the season in which we live that says this is the day he's returning er comai his final return that's the one we know perusia when he presences himself together with us the manifest presence of god fana rio when he opens her eyes and we actually see him those are the three those three they're so important to understand this that you will see and i'm gonna show this to you how we are right now at the last moments of the natural flow of time before messiah establishes a millennial kingdom and so he's doing the quick work he says at the end of the age he will do i'm telling you he's doing the quick work now what used to take years takes days or months at most it's happening quickly even time has sped up you notice that you blink and man the year's gone do you know actually on the atomic clock and i don't know all the physics and math of this a 24-hour day now is literally only 17 hours don't ask me how they figure i i don't but god said he's going to shorten the time with lest the very elect are deceived well i know what the elect are but what's the very elect the remnant be careful when you think you stand lest you fall that's why we must walk in humility every day every day you know the old-timers back in uh azusa street and even earlier than that they used to make a big deal they used to talk often about the blood of jesus and they would say you make much of the blood the blood will make much of you but we kind of lie after the 70s you know into the 80s when christian music started to take off and into the 90s there was nothing about the blood of jesus for a long time so the worship lost its power because the focus wasn't jesus it focused was let me tell my story let's get together and just you know have good kumbaya moments but all of a sudden there was a reintroduction to songs about the blood we've got to get back to foundational truth about without the blood there is no gospel without the gospel there is no salvation without salvation what are we doing here and all of that was so we could have relationship with the father even jesus said that he said don't pray to me pray to the father in my character that's what name means character every instance but two in the old testament the word name is character honor and authority every instance in what in the duke covenant it means character and authority so where two or more of you are gathered together in christ like character there he is because there's many churches get together in the the name of jesus and it's apostate there's nowhere to be found because they teach doctrines of demons and perversions see we think if i say in the name of jesus it's a magic wand no it isn't it's a principle if you understand the character of christ you can have the authority of christ but if you don't understand his character you'll only have a measure of authority because you know what your gifting will carry you where your character cannot sustain you you've got to have the foundation of character at the character of jesus every knee bows jesus said father i came in your character why because he modeled the reality of a living god through his character and conduct not just through we destroy people with our mouths in our you need to get saved you sinner well that was loving thank you i don't want anything to do with you but if the character of christ was there he would go among the sinners he would love them where they were at he would bring light to their darkness he wouldn't beat them to death with words there's a difference between character and religion we have to be a people of christ like character and think about that remember at gadara the gathering the demoniac when jesus came in the character of the father he just stepped on the shore and that demoniac fell at his feet why because at the character of jesus every knee bows he didn't have to say a word we got to fight and argue and mix it up and cast out for six to ten hours sometime boy that was a tough one it's not tough coming with christ-like character it's done well brother you don't know where i've been yes i do i've been there but i'm telling you there's a better way walk in the character of christ and i love it the way it says in the greek because i'd watch this i'd read the gospels and i i see how jesus conducted himself then i go to church and see something vastly different and i used to when i was pastoring i get so frustrated i said dear jesus why do your people act like this he said children always act like children i said i i didn't sign up to be a nursery care worker he said you did it's called pastor because you're to nurture them and bring them to the place of maturity the problem is most pastors keep them in the place of nurture i went oh i know i'm not called to pastor anything but you think about it we've let nurture not be our nature we've let it be our bondage what do i mean because we keep them there i'm here to provoke you push you out into the deep end get out of the boat why because more is caught than todd i can stand up here and teach you for the rest of the days before he comes and so you'll get some of it but if i push you out of the boat and you have to start walking you're going to get a lot of it because you learn more by doing than hearing that's how we've got to approach this the character of jesus i i just remembered this story this morning in seattle back in the early 90s my dad and i every monday night he started what he we called holy spirit night and that's where people from many churches we we don't proselytize we don't try and get people and we tell them you go back to your church this is not a church but they would come because they were hungry for the move in the presence of god and we would just let god the lord do whatever he wanted to do oh we came prepared but you know what sometimes we even used it because we just begin to flow with the spirit and so the lord began to move among those people and it was wonderful to see life's times they would come from canada and other states just for monday night and then one night you know it my dad had ministered with lester sumrall and we could go down the the list of names he knew how to minister he'd done it for years one night we had a group of people and these two ladies brought in this one woman and you could tell there was something something going on there and so at the end of the meeting part of what we did is we taught people how to pray for each other how to discern how to so we said okay everybody pair up start praying and my dad went to the back of the room because this lady was seated by himself herself and he sat down with her and i'm here ministering to somebody it's about 40 chairs deep i mean 40 50 deep big big auditorium and all of a sudden i hear this come out come on come on come out and what happened is this la he he addressed this woman he said oh is this your first time here yes who brought you oh these two ladies my dad said do you need deliverance well my my pastors don't think so my dad knew and so she started standing up and he said the only thing he went through his mind is he better stand up too because he didn't know what was going to happen and when he did she started manifesting and knocked him down and she's on top of him dragging him through all these chairs and all he forgot everything he knew come out come out and i'm standing up here ministering to this guy i went excuse me and i finally got to him at that second chair to the front but see this is what we teach people i didn't go in with i know how to deal with this i went in with lord what are you saying and i just walked up and here's my dad just kind of be still and she dropped and i said now what lord and you said this say this the anointing destroys that yolk and she was delivered now do i use that every time absolutely not it worked for then my dad got up and he said who brought this woman these two ladies said he said leader the lord i laughed i said i'm gonna buy you some boots and spurs dad he wasn't demons what i'm saying is to be led of the spirit to see these things taking place should be normal and not upsetting and not whoa lord what are you saying it's very simple so simple even pastor michael can do it i had to wake him up but jesus presents himself together with us that's the season we're in so we can expect the manifest presence of god whenever we get together why not only because he said it but because it's the hour in which we live we can expect to see him openly to gaze at him with wide open eyes and to recognize him why because we're at the end of the age and he says it let me define this in ii thessalonians 2 8 and 9 it says this and then shall that wicked be revealed whom the lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming perusia when he returns no that's er comai with the brightness of his presence in himself among us here's how you see the demonic and people delivered when you have the presence of god with you there's a spontaneous combustion that takes place this is what it looks like in normal life while you walk down the street people begin to scream as demons come out and you don't even have to say a word why because you have the manifest presence of the king of glory with you and it's modeled in scripture when jesus stepped on the mount of or the island of genezeret it's also portrayed in the book of acts when peter and john just walked down the street and that the shadow of peter or the effluent out f fluids the outshining of the glory of god that was within him that presence would touch them they were instantly healed amen that's the hour we're in and remember they were threatened don't you again speak in his name don't you speak with his character authority again the lord said let me teach you something peter just and walk down the road and when he walked down the road they got healed anyway now what are you going to do pharisee i didn't do nothing i just going shopping and the mall just exploded into revival how could i can't help it that's the hour we're in you've got to expect these things why because what you focus on you'll connect with and when connection comes activation takes place so we always go before god with expectation lord's go he's going to visit us this morning what's he going to say what's he going to do how is my life going to be transformed for what he says and does every time you open the bible lord your spirit's here to lead and guide me into all truth i'm so excited let's read the word that's how you come before that's how you get revelation that's how you develop relationship you are excited to spend time with the king of glory and you learn to make him your best friend you got to well that's that's not very you know sanctified and holy you keep your idea of sanctified and holy sanctification is being set apart for what intimacy with god and when i'm set apart for intimacy with god and i choose that he's going to be my best friend i want to spend time with my best friend i started this years ago before resham and i were married i would say hey lord you want to go do something today and yeah yeah yeah let's do that okay cool i remember this one's funny but it's so i tell it all the time i was sitting in the house by myself and looking at the paper and say hey lord you want to go to a movie he said what would you have in mind i went and looked at the paper i said oh this looks good he said ah i think i'll skip that one you go ahead and i went no i probably don't need to go to that one either and he laughed it's real he loved to take road trips he's waiting for you to invite him to go to church with you well come on look that's relationship when i was growing up and had a best friend we were always wanting to do everything together so why don't you invite him why isn't he your best friend well you know i can't see him well how do you think you'll learn to see him hey lord you want to go to we're going to go out and eat you want to come with us sure i've had some of the best times then he's sitting down there with you and he goes watch this somebody walks by and they go what was that jesus is grinning that was my presence i touched that one i took him on a road trip once reshma was ministering in alaska with another uh woman and i i said lord i gotta drive to seattle we wanna go on a road trip yeah yeah yeah that'd be fun so he's in the car we're sitting there talking well how do you know he was there i could see him that's another story and you can develop your eyes so so we're talking you know guys talk there's two guys on a road trip we're talking i'd ask him a question and i'd wait because you know he answers when he wants not when i expect him to so sometimes i'm asking that roadmile one and he'd answer me at roadmile 20. but it doesn't matter it's relationship and i need to answer and fall we got into redmond bellevue washington redmond where where all the you know bajillionaires live you know amazon you've got microsoft you got bo we could go on and on on the list of all these guys over there and you see all these fancy cars like you do in singapore rolls royce mercedes bentley's ferraris i laugh at i laugh at singapore because you've got all these high-end sports cars that you can't do more than you know 30. but they can come to the stop sign and go hmm i went yep yep that's worth 300 million dollars there yeah but they they're all over the freeway and and i'm saying oh lord you know what's your favorite car we talk about this stuff he said i saw the twinkle in his eye he looked at me and he said he didn't look at me he said bmw bmw really he laughed he said yeah be my witness relationship with god is real make him your best friend well that's sacrilegious dear god i hope so i don't want to be religious religion will keep you from the reality of relationship he's real and here's what you find out you meet him as your best friend your savior your king your healer the coming look every time he manifests himself in those different offices if you will of his character there's a different atmosphere and i have met the returning king and i fell over as a dead man it scared me to death but most of the time he's my best friend and i honor and respect that but it came with a decision and the decision must come with us some action i would set plates for him when i'd cook when i was single lord want to join me for dinner and i began to practice and i would remember him and invite him into everything i did and pretty soon after time my focus connected and my eyes were open second thessalonians 2 9 says even him whose coming is after the working of satan with all power and signs and lying wonders how are you going to discern the signs and lying wonders at the end of the age wrought through angels of light or ministers of light because when you have the presencing of god with you remember there's one thing faster than light darkness and when you step in they kind of go whoa you'll see a reaction i used to in edmonds where i grew up it really became it's on the water it puget sound in in the seattle area and it became a very new age mecca every store down there was new age and you could walk down there and you can just feel it and everybody else said oh don't go down there it's demonic i said let's go down there it's demonic what are you going to do release the glory walk in the light and i see people going into those stores i say let's go in that store really yeah what are you going to do release the presence of god stores would empty out because the light drove out the darkness and people went see you don't even have to say anything christians have so long have been going there's the devil don't get his attention well we should be going and the devil should be going christian don't get his attention amen amen the presence of god is making god's people bold but with that boldness has got to come wisdom we don't just flaunt it because we got it we only speak when spoken through so perusia comes before the return the er comai the presencing of god in the book of acts verse 1 or chapter 1 verse 11 it says they all said you men of galilee why are you standing gazing up into heaven the same jesus who left and like manner will come again have you ever studied that because when i was brought up in the church at a young you know you just believe what the pastor says well that's that's it well he's given you what he understands but remember line up online precept upon precept here it should that your revelation should constantly be increasing and so they gave us the light that they walked in thank god for that their ceiling is now your floor my ceiling should be your floor because i invest in you what god's given me you should have that should be your starting place so that means he's going to return in the clouds okay so what are the clouds you know those cumulus things floating out there or is it the glory or is it a great cloud of witnesses which one no i never thought of that yeah no in a like manner that's an interesting phrase in other words in the same prophetic way he left he's going to come again i'll put it that way so from resurrection morning when he rose from the dead to the ascension 40 day period of time you know what 40 is the number of testing so guess what at the end of the age we're going through darkness and testing and during that season of darkness and testing what happened jesus appeared you've got to study to find this to virtually 90 percent of the first century church in resurrected bodily form fanario and in the same way he left he's coming again that means in this hour where jesus is manifesting himself to millions of people around the earth we know we're at the end of the age and he's about to er comai to return what then should we be doing i don't know about you but i'm pressing into christ i want my lamp will be trimmed and i'm looking up and i'm going to be ready i'm going to do what he tells me to do and do it with excellence and do it quickly and everything else is fluff are you seeing this we are in a profound season and so for those who i mean and chuck smith said this at the end of his life he realized what had happened he said we're going to be raptured out and so the christians in particular in the calvary chapel movement at that time and then most other denominations well i don't have to worry about that i don't care who's president we're getting out of here well that's that is not what god said if you know the master's return and you better have your house in order and be doing what he said to do and what is that occupy until he comes that word occupy means be busy about the master's business not sitting back i'm leaving i don't care if the dishes are done i don't care if the house is no no no no no in mark 16 14 it said after he appeared under the eleven as he sat at meat he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart because they believed not those who said they had seen him rise from the dead ladies let me reshma shares this too but let me share this in my study of the third day do you realize that the first one to see the resurrected christ on the third day was a woman a day's is a thousand years a thousand years as a day from the time of jesus until well right about now we've completed 2 000 years or two days it's early in the morning on the third day ladies you should be expecting visitation here's the other thing then it said jesus sent mary the word sent is the same word used when jesus sent apostles the first sent one the first apostle was a woman who was sent to the 12th before they became apostles to tell them about the resurrected jesus and they didn't believe her so don't get upset when they don't believe you that's why you only speak when spoken through and even sometimes god tells you a message to bring and people are like you're seeing things but god confirmed his word with signs didn't he because he appeared in their midst and said look i sent my sent one to you and you didn't believe now we believe grow up amen you have john chapter 20 verse 19 same day at evening they were all hiding in fear and jesus stepped in and then first corinthians 15 4 and 5 upwards of 500 people at one time he appeared to 500 people oh he can appear here because we're not over 500. and you know what he told every one of them to tarry in jerusalem until they received the promise they only tarried for 10 days oh that's another number of testing too and only 120 listened to them over 500 people had a visitation from the resurrected christ he gave them one instruction terry and most of them couldn't do it be careful lest you think you stand that when you think you stand lest you fall we can't be proud and arrogant because human nature and flesh is human nature and flesh but for the grace of god that won't be you amen so before he comes for the church he's going to come to the church we are in the most amazing times in history and the most amazing thing is god chose you for this hour you many many people think well i've i've got nothing and i don't have a caller you look he didn't put you here at the end of the age just to sit on your blessed assurance and say hurry up well or do i want to get out of here right blessed assurance this seed is mine oh what a foretaste of death on the vine [Music] we say that we love him let's lay that to rest for seldom if ever do we give god our best this is our story this is our song grieving our savior all the day long why because we're not doers we're only hearers and we deceive ourselves because if you hear you do and if you do it proves you heard anyway i guess i'll stay away from yeah american idol colossians 3 4 says when christ who is our life shall appear then shall you also appear with him in glory that's not er comai that's not fan or real when christ openly manifests himself to you something happens so that you now become like him what you focus on you connect with see that's why the highest enemy to be defeated to be put under our feet is death how is that going to happen because we're going to see life himself and we're going to be changed and when that change comes we're going to model the reality of the kingdom of god and people are going to recognize it you know god the lord always challenges me with simple things as i'm reading the word there's portions of verses that speak to me now where before i'd write out the whole verse you know because you've got to have context that's what i was taught well i found out context is whatever god speaks that's context the other is intellectual you know understanding of how to study the word nothing wrong with that at certain points so he'll give me pieces of the word and i i started writing these down about a year ago just the portions of the scripture that speaks and then he said now go back and read them all together and i did and it was whole paragraphs i went oh my goodness now it's not a new doctrine it's not a news you know it's just god's speaking to me he'll give you different portions because he's speaking to you so one day i read jesus where jesus said no man takes my life and he started communicating to me he said you notice that the jews didn't kill me i said that's true lord and for so long christians blame the jews you're nothing but christ killers he said nobody killed me no nobody could take my life i chose to lay my life down remember the garden of gethsemane he's praying and judas comes in with all those soldiers i think they said there was about 120 of them are you he and he said i am they were flat and slain in the spirit nobody could take his life that's why as a lamb is mute when he goes to the slaughter jesus shut his mouth because if he had spoken they couldn't do it so jesus said to me can you say that [Music] i began to meditate on that and chew on that for a long time can i truly say no man can take my life and as i meditated on that and thought on that i understood i had a destiny to fulfill and to complete and because my heart is to see that destiny fulfilled and bring honor to god no man can take my life but when is my time to go see you are you with me it's that simple he had a destiny nobody could take his life until it was time to fulfill that destiny i said no lord no man can take my life he said good that's how he challenges me always from the word when christ who is our life shall openly manifest himself we're going to be like him so now you have to think okay what does that look like you ever notice in the we're always praying oh lord send your glory send it where well he's in you you've already got the glory you're seated with him in heavenly places you're already in the glory the bible says the whole earth is filled with his glory but at the end of the age the knowledge of the glory is going to be released see we haven't understood we've already got as much glory as we're ever going to have why don't we be honest and say lord we want an experience because you've already got the glory you just have to learn how to release it just release it how do you do that walk into a new age store and just go i release the glory release the glory and watch what happens you know demons can be in objects pretty fun when you're walking by something releasing the glory in an object goes ah people are going oh my god what is that it's okay it's just a demon walking with jesus is fun but you do what he tells you to do at first john 3 2 beloved now are we the sons of god so there's a giveaway the word says that god gives the privilege to those that believe in him to become sons of god once you've received them you have the privilege to become a son of god you have to understand the hebrew context in hebrew culture unto us a child is born we'll say a son a boy not a son a boy and then unto us a son is given what's the difference about 30 years because he's a child until the time appointed to the father when the measure of maturity has been attained and the father says this day i'm going to take you into the gate of the city where all the elders of the city sit and i'm going to pronounce today i adopt you as my son and joint heir from that day on you're a son and you have maturity and you conduct family business as a mature son so there's a difference when he says and now are we the sons of god he's talking to a mature generation at the end of the age and it does not yet appear kind of real we don't have the model a picture yet of the resurrected christ what we shall be but we know that when he shall presents himself together with us no when he's openly manifesting himself to us we're going to be like him when i had that encounter in kuala lumpur when jesus came into the meeting he was in disguise he had glasses on he looked like an old man that was the story is amazing we didn't recognize him until he vanished i said you came you hid like clark kent behind glasses evident to anybody who watched that movie but you know the glasses do you know there are times jesus has actually come into meetings people haven't recognized him but if you discern if you know watch and see but there's also times he's going to step in like i said by the spirit of god he's going to step into this place and here's why because from that night on when that happened to me was birthed in my heart lord god can i just be a doorkeeper in the house of god and introduce jesus and i would see myself get up and just introduce jesus and sit down and people are going well that was a real good preach and i never told reshma never told anybody that was in my heart and she had a dream one night and in the dream i come up to the platform and i'm getting ready and i stopped for a minute closed my books and said i'm not going to minister to you today jesus is going to minister to you and i walk to the back of the room and she's going oh my god what is he doing and she said all of a sudden something began to take place on the platform and then jesus stepped through and everybody was mesmerizing he went down among the people and ministered every single person that was my confirmation that was about 12 years ago that i began this four years ago i was ministering in dallas texas at a conference and a young pastor from vancouver washington who goes into siberia every january to minister i said lord deliver this boy siberia's cold man and january's the coldest he goes and he said he's been there a number of years and the last time he went he and the interpreter went up to the platform to begin to minister and all of a sudden they're frozen they can't move the only thing they can move is their eyes and for four hours they were stuck there with their eyes moving as jesus walked out from behind him and they watched him minister physically in resurrected bodily form to all the people changed the whole thing i said yes it's begun it's the end of the age expect it expect it every time you gather in this house expect jesus to step in because he hears he hears the intention of your heart in mark chapter 9 verse 1. jesus said to them truly truly i say unto you or verily verily that there are some of you that stand here which shall not taste of death until they see the kingdom of god come with power then after six days what's after six scholars on the seventh day it's the third early in the morning on the third day from jesus early in the morning on the seventh day from adam on the seventh day he took peter james and john up into a high mountain and what happened he was transfigured before them and the lord said don't tell anybody about this and so you know what they're the only three that ever talked about perusia and fanariu the only ones they were looking for that because they knew when they begin to see that again he's coming they're the ones who wrote those epistles watch this watch we're looking for this we know we know how it's going to look like it wasn't long ago i was reading mark 9 i wasn't reading it but i was in a place with the lord and he said open the bible i opened to mark 9. he said you can do that by faith transfigured he said absolutely what i do you can do he was clothed with light they saw him in his eternal state and the lord said you can do the same thing okay they're the only three that wrote this and expected this and you got to understand in his earthly ministry he wasn't in his resurrected body he was a man filled with the spirit operating under that unction the same as god has given to you john was so overawed by that experience that he wrote years later now we are the sons of god i just read it to you and it does not yet appear founder real what we shall be but we know that when he shall openly manifest himself to us we're going to be just like that where did he get that doctrine that's understanding from the amount of transfiguration wow peter he was there he said this in second peter 1 16 we have not followed cunningly devised fables when we made known unto you the power and coming perusia presencing of the lord jesus christ but we were eyewitnesses of that majesty for he received from god the father honor and glory when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory this is my beloved son maturity in whom i am well pleased and this voice which came from heaven we heard when we were with him in that holy mountain so there's a place of sanctification setting apart consecration called holiness and when we come to this place of seeing him as he is we're other than what we are right now no we're not we've just taken the final step into the fullness of that consecration what he's calling this generation to be is so significant we've missed it by just hearing what i'll put it this way second day revelation that was a stepping stone into third day reality because everything we thought we knew in the past we must revisit and and gain insight and revelation from god and build upon that remember ceiling and floor there are things my dad taught me that became a launching pad into what the lord's given me there are things that i have learned that have become the launching pad for a path or a pad for others that have taken it even further and i love seeing that now let me tell you there are whole churches and indigenous peoples that are having these encounters right now and being launched into this dimension of end time reality walking and talking every day face to face with god translocating around the earth and ministering indigenous people that have no education no biblical foundation but god is breathing into them and we've been honored and privileged they heard about us we came and taught them the foundation of scripture they would weep with rejoicing thank god this is reality and truth i'm so honored of god to even get a glimpse of this never mind be a part of this you have a destiny at the end of the age and you have a purpose that's beyond anything you know there's no excuse i don't know how to preach good he doesn't want you to preach anyway he wants you to open his mouth and let him feel it i haven't been to school good peter james and john didn't either and when i went to bible college it was funny i had learned because in full gospel businessmen where my dad got saved everybody got involved everybody's praying for everybody and you know so i'm going to bible college i called it the almost of god bible college you'll know why in a moment and so a friend of mine one night he says man i got a horrible headache i said well let me pray a novel idea i mean bible call you oh oh yeah we could do that yeah i prayed and the headache left another person saw this well you know i've been praying and asking god for the holy spirit could you pray for me i said it's really simple i prayed and said now speak and pretty soon over a course of a couple weeks i had so many people coming getting prayed and god and i got in trouble i mean the bible college chaplain and the dean came and said you have no authority to do this and i went my first thought is is this a cult what what bible do you guys read you know what they meant you haven't been indoctrinated in our denominational footprint and likeness and so you have no authority i said did peter get that memo they were saying you haven't finished bible college you can't minister i said did peter get that memo thank you we are going to agree to disagree my bible says do your bible obviously says be conformed to our image before you're released to do i'm not doing that i wasn't one of their favorite students and i didn't mean to be disrespectful i was shocked see religion will hinder you from reality relationship releases you to that reality this is the hour you were created for of all generations that have ever been you know i think every one of us growing up has kind of thought a little bit about oh it would have been so neat to be born back then yeah well until you do a little research and go oh heavens no but you know what god in his wisdom chose you for now and if you're willing in the day of his power you'll know why amen i want to pray for you let's stand up this is it by the way on the mount of transfiguration there was visitation moses and elijah so many people said that's necromancy i said oh jesus is in trouble he's the god of the living not the dead but that's for another day now again all i came here to do was to provoke you get in the word for yourself because a lot of this is way outside anything you maybe have ever heard before good i'm not starting a new thing i'm uncovering an old thing but get in the word so father i do pray for your people that this seed would fall in the good soil of their heart lord that it would provoke them to dig in your word to pray and to fast and to seek your face that you might reveal to them the reality of your kingdom and what you've called them to in this hour they are a royal priesthood lord they are a peculiar people not just in the natural but in the realm of the spirit the remnant are going to be very peculiar because they're going to be just like you so father bless them with this i pray and i thank you for it in the mighty and precious name of yeshua amen amen come on let's give the lord a wonderful club offering [Applause] praise god you may be seated okay there's just a few announcements and after this i would like to invite sister angeline francis to say a few words but the first is that on wednesday we will have our midweek service at 7 p.m we look forward to seeing you on wednesday at 7 p.m the youth ministry the king's arrows will be on saturday at 6 00 pm and our sunday service will be on sunday at 10 a.m so we look forward to seeing you to join us in our services wednesday saturday for the youth and also on sunday for the sunday service and just a quick announcements from andy from the resource table greetings what a blessing that word was from god you know and i always picture myself i i just want to take the speaker and just put them in my pocket but he can't fit i don't think anyone can fit but fortunately god meets speakers in secret places where they can provide a word where you can put it in your backpack or you can put it wherever you need so you can take it home with you like this one this is the supernatural life we only have six of these left and this is just like a little window into what's going on in the school so that that is a blessing and then then we have the two that are speaking of the glory the foundation of glory and gazing into the glory these are both wonderful books all three of them are and they're just tools for us to be equipped with what the kingdom wants us to do so i i pray and hope to see you at the in the care room and we just thank you so much thank you thank you i just want to thank dr bruce ancestor rishma we had a blessed three days of meeting can we just thank the lord for both of them to come down here and bless jesus my king church and we would especially on behalf of all the ladies here we'd like to thank sister rishma for the wonderful powerful word yesterday just want to give you a little gift yes oh we just want to give her some flowers and [Music] thank you so much we were so blessed by her ministry yesterday thank you praise god can we all stand before we close our service today and we thank god for what god has deposited to us let's give a song of thanksgiving to the lord before we dismiss three thank you for your goodness oh we thank you lord blessed be your name and i found in the desert place though i walk through the wilderness blessed be your name blessed be your name in the land that is planted for where your streams of abundance flow and blessed be your name every blessing [Music] still i will say blessed be
