Who's Your Daddy? #4/4: Mature, Transfigured Sons

[Music] [Music] okay i know where i want to go today and just to work out where to start so i'm going to start in jeremiah 31 verse 31 all right okay that's good the days are coming declares the lord when i will make a new covenant with the people of israel ever heard that term new covenant okay it comes from this verse are you in the new covenant you are okay i hope so we're about to find out what this new covenant is yep because there's many definitions many different understandings that comes from here and this whole section i'm about to quote is quoted again in hebrews and it's the longest old testament quotation in the new testament okay just in case you think this is not about the new covenant it's in the new covenant it's in the new testament new covenant all right so the days are coming declares the law will now make a new covenant with the people of israel and the people of judah it would not be like the covenant i made with their ancestors when i took them by their hand and led them out of egypt because they broke my covenant though i was a husband to them right remember it's always relational with god we think sin bad you know righteous good okay it's behavior contract but for god is always relationship idolatry is adultery to him he's hurt emotionally hurt by it and very vulnerable and very open about that the ten commandments the covenant they're talking about was a marriage contract a ketubah will you marry me this is who i am will you have me alone and no one else yeah there was a husband to them marriage contract declares the lord so he's going to make a new covenant because they broke the last one so he wants to be with him so he's going to make a new one to make sure that they will be together forever including us who are grafted into israel grafted into that vine this is the covenant i'll make with the people of israel after that time declares the lord i will put my law in their minds and they'll write it on their hearts i will be their god and they will be my people this is you no longer will they teach their neighbor or say to one another know the lord because they will all know me from the least of them to the greatest declares the lord for i will forgive their wickedness and i remember their sins no more so this new covenant it's got two pieces to it it's very easy to understand god's going to teach you himself you don't need not anyone to teach you i'll remember your sins no more and these are the two things missing from church culture i'll remember your sins no more we're still arguing over that yeah how about this one have you ever heard a pastor say you don't need a teacher and god gave teachers to the body well read in a minute i'm here to teach you that you don't need a teacher my job is to reconcile man to god so is yours that's the only ministry given in the new testament the reconciliation of man to god not man to ministry not man to church not even man to a theology but man to god if you don't go up the mountain you don't know god for yourself you get the law and i say ivan these are the movies you're not allowed to watch this movie this movie this movie that made the law okay and the law stirs up sin now he wants to watch those movies yeah look at him he wants to watch the care bear special that's going to lead you into the new age and it only works as long as i'm there external law but he knows god for himself it's in his heart and he knows what's right for him and wrong for him he goes by his conscience he's reconciled man to god because the law is written on his heart and no one needs to teach him i think i need to teach him that the law is written on his heart he doesn't meet doesn't need me to tell him the law's written on his heart anymore because he knows okay paul's like hey what's going on you should all be teachers by now you have to go back to the fundamentals of raising people from the dead he's frustrated i.e he's saying you were supposed to reach the fullness of the statue of christ in your lifetime the book of one john is written to a mature church okay so you need to re book in their context the book of um james is written early and then paul has the revelation of walking in the fullness of statute of christ wherever people lie saying corinthians you're here come back come to here you know and then galatians you're here come to here ephesians well done like you just they're all and then one john is written to a mature church maybe to the church of ephesus because paul was there and after paul was there john was there so they had a pretty good run yeah that church talk about guest speakers they had a pretty a pretty good run and one john's super strict it's about love that seems so strict he's talking to a mature church he says you can have confidence on the day you meet jesus how can you have confidence why can you be so bold with his confidence and say look at your life because as he is so you now in the earth so look what's happened in your life you're exactly like christ is could you say that to a church these days look at your life you're exactly like the risen christ that's not a problem be confident yeah because they've reached that place and paul's trying to transition everyone from here to here from here to here when they go backwards he's very frustrated with them and he's angry at the corinthians because they've gone naughty okay but they've still got the gifts because behavior and sin doesn't disqualify you they're getting drunk they're sleeping with each other they're fighting at communion they are suing each other he's saying even the pagans look at you and i can't believe how immoral you are but they've got the gifts signs wonders miracles healings the galatians very well behaved and he is furious with them because they believe their behavior qualifies them the corinthians don't believe that clearly they've taken into excess of grace so to speak and that doesn't stop god from showing up because the only thing that stops god from showing up is the knowledge of the tree the tree of knowledge of good and evil knowing right from wrong and doing that as a source to qualify you yeah paul says to the corinthians i'm really angry with you this is his this is his way of getting around god he goes i'm really angry with you i want to scold you but god says i can't i can only encourage you so i'm only going to encourage you but just so you know i'm angry he puts it in there forever these people are very well behaved and god says only build them up let them know they're a new creation let them know that one spirit with me seeing you are this amazing thing thus behave this way same in ephesians seeing you are we we would like to say in ephesians the end that says you know this is how you should treat each other that's what you should do these are the behavior standards let me say we the church thinks if you behave this way you'll be like christ and paul says since you're like christ seeing you like christ behave that way very different very different yeah god loves to justify the ungodly you're exactly like him that's what you love to do you love it you can't get enough okay i'm going to read from ephesians 4 as a prisoner for the lord then i urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you've received okay ephesians 1-3 raised and seated name above every name god's displaying his power on you he's made you holy and righteous forever since before the foundation of time this was his plan for you okay now he's saying since you are this amazing thing since okay as a prisoner for the lord then i urge you to live life worthy of the calling you have received received the gift you've got be completely humble and gentle be patient bearing one another in love this is who you are you're saying be who you are gentle humble patient make every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace let's look at this remember this keep unity of the spirit so you've got it already the church the whole church already has the unity of the spirit your spirit is one with christ we're all one in heaven we all are the beloved son of god there is one body there you go paul agrees with me and one spirit there's one body there's one spirit that's us we have the unity of the spirit we already already are in unity in the spirit all what's happening is our souls are lining up with what is already true okay just as you were called to one hope when you were called one lord one faith one baptism one god and father of all who is over overall who is over all and through all and in all sounds new age sounds new era trademark registered okay there's only one church that's the church of jesus christ let's raise the seed in how many places you're part of that church right now now paul's part of that church timothy's part of that church spurgeon's part of that church maybe your mother and father perhaps your great-grandfather's part of that church and you all attend that same church just saying but to each of us a grace has been given as christ's supportion to it this is why it says when he ascended on high he took many captives and gave gifts to people what does he ascended mean except that he also descended to the lower earthly regions he who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens in order to fill the whole universe our jesus has fulfilled the whole universe and you're in him where he is you can be also sounds new age so christ himself gave the apostles so christ himself gave the apostles the prophets the evangelists the pastors and the teachers to equip his people what's the role of ministry to equip the saints that's what the role is not to build ministries ministries may build as a consequence but the goal is to equip the people so that the body of christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith we have unity of the spirit got it and what we're doing is reaching unity in the faith faith is when our souls align yep so the body of christ may be built up into earth's unity of the faith and in the knowledge of the son of god and become mature attending to the whole measure of the fullness of christ that's what god wants this is what's happening the five-fold ministry we will understand is there for one purpose to make you exactly into the fullness of the risen glorified christ in your body right now not when you die now that's why john says look as he is so you now relax that's what you have you have christ in you that's your identity all we're doing is believing what's already there it's a rest there's nothing you can do there's nothing you can do to attain the fullness of the statue of christ except receive a word a prophet an evangelist an apostle a teacher a pastor receive the word from their particular sister jacket okay i'm chris a saint god give me a jacket to preach okay i gave it back to him he gave it back to me and i work under an anointing a gifting from christ to equip the body in one certain area as soon as i sit down i take this jacket off and i need to listen to a room yeah so i can walk in the fullness of the statue of christ in my lifetime this is the goal then we'll no longer be infants tossed back and forth by the waves and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming okay there's two things here scheming people okay we know what that is okay scheming people plus the wind of teaching every wind of doctrine not satanic doctrine not bad doctrine not wrong doctrine doctrine every wind of teaching it comes through because when wind of teaching comes through if you are immature you run after that teaching we all run these are all good they're all true we talk about where our heart is okay so we'll run after the the prophetic movement of the 80s and we want to be the prophets then we're after the apostolic movement we're going to the apostolic stuff and then we want to go to the grace and glory stuff of the 2000 we'll go to grace and glory and then you know and then we have the last 10 years we want to go after the the being in the courts the courts of heaven and getting our cases done and back and forth to go every wind of doctrine now god's restoring these things to church and god did these things because the church is immature the holy spirit and tongues came back early 1900s widely lots of churches never lost it some eastern european churches always spoke in tongues they never lost it and it came back widely was it was available to the church it was always available it was always there okay um in the 1950s big church tent revivals came up and one man anointed of god or one woman anointed of god had the ability the man of god the woman of god had the ability to heal people that was controversial can a human being heal people who they think they are before over this it could always happen that one special person can do it in the 60s late 60s the jesus movement came back and uh everyone had the holy spirit and everybody could heal people this is crazy but could everyone always heal people in the 1700s in the church of england the methodists the presbyterians could they heal people yeah we could always heal people it was always there so what are you going to do you're going to rape the next doctrine the next move of god catch the fire whatever's going on go back and forth or do the walk in the fullness of the statue of christ in your lifetime you already have it we have to wait it's there in you and the full substation of christ is our behavior standard isn't the power standard it's a nature of a father it's a nature of a father a loving father who justifies young godly who lays his life down before the foundation the world the lamb was slain he made a decision i am going to underwrite all these things the term spiritual father is a very abused term i'm sure you understand that so let's look at the father jesus showed us exactly what the father was like so he laid his life down at the cost of his name his life his time and his reputation he died to give you the opportunity to choose him out of free will that's what the father does paul says the father stays up for his children currently in the church the children save up for the father do you save up for god what can you give him balls and goats what can you give the father spiritual fathers save up for their children jesus has given us his name as a representation of the father a great risk to his reputation he doesn't control it does the term christ christian mean to the people around the world does it mean he who says do not judge does it mean him does it mean him he says bless your enemies does it mean him does it he on the night he was betrayed gave up his body does it mean that guy at great risk to his reputation his time his resource and his life he lays it all down to give you the choice to choose him freely for who he really is he's saying will with no control with no manipulation with no arm of flesh with nothing he let himself out there vulnerable this is who i am completely me will you choose me for who i am and i'll let you lay your hand on me for that and we literally did put a hand on him he pulled his beard out we nailed him to wood and now we put our hand on his name his reputation his resource we even use his truth to leverage money other people or loyalty other people yeah and he still keeps his hand off so that you would choose him freely he's saying will you choose the real me freely this is a little bit controversial but you understand what i'm saying jesus is lord and jesus savior in only a certain epoch of time jesus savior that's how you get saved jesus lord it's how you mature but jesus says their roles i play do you know me who am i do you love me for who i am a friend of mine uh was uh preaching to a in a tribal area they just had a massive war and one tribe had wiped out the other tribe and eaten them and god said go and preach to those people so she did and she's preaching telling about jesus and the leader of the tribe that slaughtered the other tribe starts jumping up and he's dancing he's so excited he's loving it okay and after just the interpreter what's that guy doing the interpreter said oh he was so excited to finally know the name of the spirit he's talked to his whole life just like what is what yeah he said every morning when i walked in the forest he talked to this spirit of light and talked about everything that was going on and now he knows his name jesus he's so delighted my friend who's trying to lead people with jesus was very angry with this and he said how can this murderer who ate people know jesus and god said to my friend he knows me better than you do my friend was at their desk in texas here's a word go to this island in the middle of the world be there at this time risk your life i think that you know god and god says you don't know me he isn't you don't know me like this guy knows me this guy knows my favorite color i'm i'm extrapolating now but this guy knows what i think of the wind this guy knows how i feel today he knows me lord and savior yes can never be taken from jesus name above all names he has done the work glorified forever but there are roles and titles will you know me i can't define that because i will underdo it somehow jesus saying know me and know the father lord and savior of itself especially through our western context does not make compassionate people that's not the bible's fault that's us you're saying will you know me will you become like me okay every wind of doctrine there's going to be some great moves coming through and i'm all for them god's restoring the church but they're not my hope okay for some of us revival is our great hope and we love that we hope for revival that's our most exciting thing on earth the most exciting thing on earth is to know him and become like him revival is not his plan revival is because the church is dead okay it's a it's a fallback yeah is revival from god yes is it great yes there's revival there i will go it's my what's my dad's doing on the earth and i'll do whatever the people leading that need and they say be here at seven you're gonna help i'll be there at seven they say okay now we're all black oh we're all black they say set up the chairs i'll set up the chairs whatever they want their house they're governing it free will of god amazing i love to go to revival like a genuine revival in the most classic sense that's not my hope that's not my joy okay so you know if you think of a church that loves revival okay i'm not attacking them because the most famous one that's all about revival they love god first and i've got his presence first without doubt so please hear what i'm saying i'm talking about what's what's your hope what's your what's your anchor of your soul the person of jesus we have it now you have to wait for this than that than that you can just become like him now otherwise you're an infant always you're an infant an infant inherits the whole kingdom they can't use it while child is young even though he owns the whole estate still must be under choosers and governors your baby can't take your car out even though technically he's going to hear at that car that makes sense becoming like him becoming like him okay so we have the unity of the face the unity of the spirit when we're breaching the unity of the faith all right this is matthew 17 this is transfiguration all right after six days jesus took with him peter james and john peter james john why these three peter james and john and led them up a high mountain by themselves but he was transfixed then he was transfigured before them his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as white as light it even affected the material object on his body and then there appeared before them moses and elijah talking with jesus peter said to jesus lord is good for us to be here okay he's trying to find usefulness for himself we've all done this okay we've all done this if you wish i will put up three shelters one for you one for moses one for elijah while he was still speaking so god just cuts him off a bright cloud covered them and the voice from the cloud said this is my son in whom i love in him i am well pleased listen to him when disciples heard this they fell face down to the ground terrified but jesus came and touched them get up he said do not be afraid when they looked up they saw no one but jesus okay so this is my son whom i'm loved with whom i'm well pleased where does that come from baptism when jesus was baptized yep by john but before jesus does anything he says this is my son in whom i'm well pleased okay my beloved son this is my son whom i'm loved in whom i'm well pleased he hasn't done anything yet this is very important before you start even as an infant baby you are the son whom is loved and god's well pleased that's you before you get out of bed yeah and the difference now is he says listen to him he now represents me he now speaks will i speak what he says represents me now and that's your journey this is the whole gene of christianity you start as the beloved son whom god's well pleased and over your journey you become the beloved son and whom is well pleased listen to him that's it that's it but you're always the son the beloved son remember what's what's the beloved is the object of someone's affections in this case it's yahweh how do you know you're the beloved you can't do anything you can only watch and observe that's it that's the only way to know your beloved if you do anything perhaps you're not loved perhaps you traded god does not like trading in that sense and then we just trading for other words now unfortunately it sort of mixes english words but you don't give anything for this if you give something it's accredited to you as wages but if you receive it is accredited to you as righteousness if you do something for it you're paid if you just receive it it's accredited to you as righteousness even if you receive a red mercedes from god if you're here on the weekend if he gives you something have his nature alone and you do nothing for it except believe that he is the type of god that would do that that's the creditor to you as righteousness forever in this world and the next but if you work for it you've got your wages so you receive freely that record becomes part of you and you start to give freely like your father in heaven who sends rain on the good and the evil this decision to become love to lay your life down for another to lay your life down for those who are about to kill you this decision is become like the father is to overwrite the record of any other father in you is to be transfigured to decide make the decision that i will bless those who persecute me that i will love my enemy then you are true son of the father in heaven whose love light and spirit that's it this is the gospel this is maturing of the gospel what you tell your what they tell kids in sunday school you are going to forgive bless those people forgive them say sorry this is it because the gospel to walk in the fullness of the stature of christ is available to any person in any era at any education level at any intelligence level at any economic level in any language anyone can become like the father in heaven by receiving forgiveness for free thus they can give forgiveness for free yeah it's right in your hands it's already in you this is your nature you are given the seed of the father the same as christ this is your true nature forgiveness is your true nature to bless your enemies is your true nature to justify the ungodly is your true nature ephesians 1 says before the foundation of the world he decided to make us holy and blameless in his sight forever in the beloved and he did it you are now holy and blameless in his sight forever and he decided before the foundation of the world and jesus decided as an act of his free will the word to be the lamb slain before the foundation of the world before anything happened which makes him worthy of all the glory and all the honor and you can be that person too in fact you are that person in the spirit and now your soul's just finding out you're reaching unity of the faith maturity if you're love well one corinthians is it twelve all the gifts this gift that gift this gap and seek the gifts they're awesome gifts but now i will show you a greater way love the gifts are training wheels being in the bicycle the training wheels see those little wheels that come out the side okay you've never been a mature son of god before so you need gifts you need jackets here's a gift here's my healing gift okay like this gift and i can kill this person here zap the jacket does the work it doesn't have a good person or a bad person i could heal his knee and say give me 50 bucks it doesn't change my character it's just a jacket yeah i'm learning well some of god can do or whether of knowledge or faith there's not maturity when i get to heaven god says come my jacket back please so i give him the jacket back he says who are you do you look like me did you stop for the children did you love the one did you leave the 99 to follow the one castle i do did you justify your ungodly if i trade on my jacket tray if i trade on my jacket i can get through life and look like an awesome christian and i will be awesome christian by my son of god my son the father if you do these things you'll be a son of the father who stands rain on the good and the evil the just and the unjust that's what he does that's what you do so eventually one day i'm gonna trade i'm gonna say god take this jacket back i'm gonna love joseph sturgeon had an incredible prophetic gift it was a jacket and he could stand at the front and just go there's 400 people he just goes through 400 people one after another i just prophesied them prophecy over them prophets over them and one day he worked out was just a jacket it's not him okay and so he gave the jacket back he went to heaven and said god take this jacket from me i want to be like you so god took it from him okay and god says don't worry you won't it was you become love so mature you'll be able to do it as much as you are love you can prophesy of these people not from a gifting but from your nature your new nature so jesus gave the jacket joseph gave the jacket back to jesus and he's back and he couldn't prophesy over anyone he realized i don't love anyone i don't love them i love these people it was a shock to him yeah and so it's not for love it's a clanging gong and it doesn't go back to heaven so all that 300 people he prophesied over that day his rewards on earth he gave the jacket back and now if you meet joseph now this is his story so he tells it he's a man full of love and his ministry doesn't come from the anointing it comes from the person that he is yep this is your opportunity to become love we know what love is we saw jesus the exact representation of the father the father's love light and spirit what would love light and spirit do on the earth right now what we saw is read the gospels go to sunday school listen to what they say to the kids that's it it's for everyone so peter james and john went up what the peter james and john heaven have in common they all had the voice of another father satan rebuked in them now remember jesus uses offense and rebuke as much as he uses kindness and compassion and serving and loving and encounter i mean we know peter ever remembers peter okay get behind me satan because you have the idea of man and not the idea of the father in you yeah we'll remember that all right but let's look at uh uh is it luke 9 it is luke 9. luke 9 51. onwards i'll read it from this one you can oh we got up there there luke 951 onwards [Applause] [Music] now when the time was approaching for him to be taken up to heaven i mean i can use the amp sorry i was ready from here i was right from here the amplified version is the best for this one now when the time was approaching we had to be taken up to heaven he was determined to go jerusalem to fulfill his purpose okay what peter tried to stop him from doing deliberate reference no mistakes he sent messages ahead of him and they went into a samaritan village to make arrangements for him but the people would not welcome him because he was traveling towards jerusalem when his disciples james and john saw this the people wouldn't welcome him okay they said lord do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and destroy them they turn rebuked of them he returned and rebuked them and he said we need the amp you do not know what kind of spirit you are how many spirits are there for the son of man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them so peter james and john so they rejected christ shall we smash them and they knew they could they could smash them they knew that they could listen that's pretty amazing in itself so we call it now sons of thunder should we call it down jesus says that's another father you don't know what your spirit are what spirit you're of is the same as get behind me satan there's no and they just equated a bit earlier they referenced peter's he went to jerusalem and people tried to stop him what we're doing is making a free will choice for another father as people running around your city they have rejected christ and the church is like well get us out of here lord rapture us and smash those people there is people who rejected christ and maybe we'll vote for a different person you're going to vote for and we're like get those people smash them expose their sin okay but jesus laid his life down for them before the foundation of the world if the church could cool down fire like james and john because that's part of the kingdom because we're babies god even though cooling down fire is what we can do god will not let us have that because if we could cool down fire nancy pelosi's house would burn to the ground tonight and that is another father that's what satan would do but jesus would lay his life down before the foundation of the world and as if they were killing him he'd say father don't hold this against him this is transfiguration this is to be exactly like your father in heaven this is who he is we think to be godly as i know don't show your ankles i don't know whatever we think godly is all right stop it golden ankles yeah we've got all these rules and regulations because you won't go up the mountain don't go up the mountain you get rules and regulations and they always lead to death so jesus says god says i'm going to make another covenant with you remember your sins no more i'm going to teach you myself to be like me to know me and be exactly like me who is the father who's jesus what's his favorite food do you know him and become like him he's saying love me for who i am love light and spirit the spirit that operates by word by promise that lazy's life i'm love i lay my life down and then you're light transfigured okay all right don't want to pull that verse up i'm just going to read read from you the first person who was transfigured that we know of after jesus resurrection and that's stephen there is a massive key in stephen we don't think much of stephen there's massive keys in him we don't see much of mary because that was taken from us because someone worshipped us we're like wow we're not doing that it's like wow someone abused communion it's the body and blood of christ right we're not doing that we threw we threw it out all right here's stephen i'm gonna read from act six um twelve and i'm gonna skip around a bit so don't try and follow me just so you know where i am for the for the recording acts six eight now stephen a man full of god's grace and power in that order perform great wonders and signs among the people just as just a dude not an apostle not not stephen the apostle not evangelist stephen stephen perform great wonders and signs among the people opposition arose amazing however members of the synagogue of the freedmen as was called jews of cyrene and alexandria as well as the province of sicilia and asia who began to argue with stephen but they could not stand up against his wisdom against the wisdom the spirit gave him as he spoke then they secretly persuaded some men to say we've heard stephen speak blasphemous words against moses and against god whose nature are they showing right now my seedline the liar is a lie from the beginning so still the people and the elders and the teachers of the law they see stephen and brought him before the sanhedrin they produced false witnesses whose father okay they produced fog witnesses who testified this fellow never stopped speaking against his holy place and against the law we have heard him say that this jesus of nazareth would destroy the this place and change the customs moses had handed down to us sitting in the sanhedrin looked intently at stephen stephen and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel what's happening to his face transferring an angel doesn't mean like a cherub you know like an angel means a messenger from heaven which are always glorified and when they appear they always have to say do not be afraid that's what they're seeing right now because stephen's made a decision already yep act seven on the skipper right down here oops i've made a mistake let's go this one here i'll start at verse 54. when the members of the sanhedrin heard this okay he got really stuck into them he's just given the whole history of the seed lines that's what he's doing spirit did this you did this the spirit did this you did this okay he's addressing another father in them yeah he's using a fence to find the heart and he finds their heart very quickly when the members of the sanhedrin heard this they were furious and they gnashed their teeth at him but stephen full of the holy spirit looked up to heaven and saw the glory of god which is god's body and jesus standing at the right hand of god look he said i see heaven open and the son of man staying the right hand of god so he is invoking the death penalty right now he's made a decision at this they covered their ears and yelling at the top of their voices they all rushed at him dragged him out of the city and began to stone him okay death meanwhile the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named saul while they were studying him stephen prayed lord jesus received my spirit that's what jesus said into your hands i commit my spirit relying on the character of another then he fell on his knees and cried out lord do not hold this sin against them when he had said this he fell asleep why i fell asleep you're mature son of god can't die death is not used for son of god paul says this is how much my life sucks right i've been stoned stoning's executed he goes this is my life right now i've been executed you couldn't kill him because the son of god mature son of god once you become love there's no record of death within you there's no fear of death because love casts out fear your love you can't be martyred you can only choose to lay your life down willingly and paul chose to take his life up again somewhat reluctantly i feel peter gets a wife he says to live is christ and to die is gain which do i choose made a choice later in life is it a house meeting and someone says if i tie this belt around you you go to jerusalem you will die paul says thank you i'm going to jerusalem i was like well well the prophetic word just came if i tie this belt on you you're the person who'll be tied up in jerusalem and you will die paul goes yep i've made my choice and here we see stephen has made the choice to lay his life down for these people who are about to kill him and to plead for their forgiveness and people in that group came to christ we know that because saul was there in acts 9 this is what happened meanwhile saul was still bringing out murderous threats against the disciples of threats what father satan death okay he's showing a seedline of another father he went to the high priest and asked for letters to the synagogues in damascus so if he found any there he belonged to the way whether men or women he might take him as prisoners to jerusalem is killing everyone as he did damascus on his journey suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him a light the glorified risen transfigured christ he felt the ground and heard the voice say to him so saul why do you persecute me then saul says who are you lord so is a rabbi rabbi teacher of teacher and he's instantly just lost all his faith who are you lord he just lost all his belief system he's served yahweh his whole life and now he's recognizing another being in a moment just gone i am jesus whom you are persecuting he replied now get up and go into the city and you'll be told what you must do stephen made the choice to beg for the salvation of those beg i should use that term plead better to him for the salvation of those were about to kill him and it happened saul was forgiven the man murdering christ's body women and men stephen did that and the symbolically the jackets were given to seoul there's a transfer of a jacket and anointing saul became paul lived out the life that stephen was supposed to live [Music] he gave his whole record his whole ministry to the person that was killing him and his friends because that's what the father would do that's what you would do that's your nature that's transfiguration and then what does paul say i rather i was written in the book of life that the hebrews be saved if that be possible who were the hebrews the ones executing him and paul became the same person he went from being a murderer to saying i rather these people these murderers were saved and i wasn't if that even be possible stephen fathered reproduced himself in another he was love that's who you are that's maturity that's not that's not taken by every wind of doctrine you already have it this has been reconciled to christ this is knowing him for who he is who are you lord savior god's like i'm even more than that will you find out who i am become a father who lays his life down willingly at the cost of his time resources reputation to give people the opportunity to choose me freely you are sons of this god that's your dna so let's have communion okay this is my new favorite verse [Music] this is one corinthians 11 23 for receive this is paul talking if i receive from the lord but i also passed on to you the lord jesus on the night he was betrayed took bread and when he gave when he had given thanks he broke it and said this is my body which is for you do this remembrance of me in the same way after supper he took the cup saying this is the cup this cup is a new covenant in my blood do this whenever you drink it in remembrance of me whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup you proclaim the lord's death until he comes what death the death he gave on the night he was betrayed decided when he was betrayed i'm always amazed when jesus is dying on the cross it is he says the same he says forgive the lord and not know what they do he's crying out for the people who are mocking hurting persecuting him okay that's pretty cool and that is amazing by the night he was betrayed betrayed is different the enemy's coming for you betrays when your friends abandon you on the night he was betrayed the people he spent all those years with gave his very self to they saw his whole life when they betrayed him he gave up his body he made a decision he made a decision when he brought peter james and john up the mountain to show him everything of his kingdom his true self knowing that peter and james will abandon him i think john would stick with him yep it's amazing that's you that's death to self that's death the knowledge of good and evil because by the knowledge of good and evil you know why this is wrong and it's correct it is wrong and girl shows there's a higher way this blood cries out a better word than the blood of abel the blood of abel we know by the book of enoch cries out give me justice and wipe out that family line and it's correct it's justice it's true but there's a blood shed before the blood of abel that cries out a better word it justifies the ungodly that's us yes we do we are exactly like our father now i'll show you a better way love so we just step in for the father now we are so grateful father you are a loving father you have never abandoned us you've engraved our names on your hands and this is true we are surrender to this is true loving father and jesus we turn to you yeshua the word you have a new name oh lord how i'd love to know who you truly are to know your new name and receive a new name from you engraved in the white stone [Music] well we have decided today to become love you forgive will be removed from us the giant debt and all the genuine wrongs done to us and also by us lord help us the miracle of forgiveness our true nature is to release and bless so we release and bless or make the first step to release and bless those who wronged us and they will release and bless ourselves we have wronged ourselves and other people and forgive ourselves [Music] forgiveness is our nature we want to send rain on the good and the evil the just the unjust we want to be exactly like you we are of your lineage your dna the loving father that only gives life it brings life life life and so we take in life the body and blood of life himself of resurrection himself and we say this life to us as life so all good news to all men to all creation to the earth to the stars to molecules to atoms to people jesus we are going to be exactly like you our older brother as a free gift we take it in now this body and this blood just take it freely [Music] [Music] and jackie is just going to continue and you can just stay in this atmosphere and talk to god talk to the father but he truly is because he's going to teach you himself no one needs to teach you your sins aren't remembered here there's no reckless only love the jacket will play out and you can just spend 10 20 seconds or 20 minutes it's up to you when you're finished maybe just go out to the auditorium
