You guys have your Bibles. Hold on, too tight.
We're still in Isaiah today and we're going to be staying here,
perhaps for a little bit longer than anticipated, which is
totally okay. But just to recap since we
weren't together and Bible Study last week, we've been
discovering something about the person of Jesus Christ.
According to Isaiah and two weeks ago, we discussed Isaiah
describing the Messiah as the anointed one and every song that
we sang was, so fitting to where we're going tonight, when we
realize the depth of the power compassion, Mercy that Jesus
possessed. It's quite astounding.
And just for the sake of review, go to Isaiah 61 As Jesus was
anointed with the Holy Spirit was anointed for a specific
task. And we see here in Isaiah 61
verse one, that Jesus was anointed to do what to bring
good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the
Brokenhearted to Proclaim, Liberty to the captives, and the
opening of the prison to those who are bound.
And even as we were singing reflecting on these things, that
he comes for the poor in spirit that he comes for those who are
brokenhearted, that he comes for those that are bound in sin.
Held captive, I realized something.
That there is nothing within yourself or myself that can
bring us to a place of Victory and Liberty apart from him.
Only, he has been anointed to perform these things and if it's
not for Jesus Christ, we are doomed.
If it's not for Jesus Christ, We Are Forever bound.
If it's not for Jesus Christ, We Are Forever broken.
Hearted if it's not for Jesus Christ, We Are Forever held
captive, if it's not for Jesus Christ, there is no good news,
only, he has the Good news only. He has the power to set free
only. He has the mercy and the love to
heal the broken hearted. It doesn't end there because
he's been anointed to do even further things, you go to Isaiah
42. This is just all review, Isaiah
42, Verse 1. Where God speaks about his son
and says, behold my servant. Whom I uphold my chosen in whom
my soul Delights, I have put my spirit upon him.
You bring forth Justice to the nation's and here it is.
He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice or make it hurt in the
street, a bruised Reed, he will not break, and a faintly burning
Wick, he will not quench again. You and I can get so damaged and
discourage and life. And there's not enough.
Positive thinking, there's not enough pep talk and there's not
enough psychology to bring us to a place of wholeness, but
somebody's been anointed. To bind us.
And not only that. Look at this, this might
encourage us. even when we are in a place of being faintly
burning, if our light is dimming, if our passion is being
lost, We can call upon him to rekindle that fire because he's
been anointed to do it. Do you see how we can rely on
him for so much? Do you see how everything about
the Holy Spirit empowering him is for our good.
As for our good, this is exactly what were realizing today.
Because if you think for a moment that this is something,
we're just studying and it's not something that we can experience
in this Bible studies futile, My prayer, and we're going to pray
in a moment. Our prayers should be Lord.
As we study you, I need to experience what I'm about to
realize. And what we need to do is call
upon the anointed one to walk in this place and to touch to touch
our hearts. And he's willing to do it.
If we realize that, he alone can do it, would you buy our heads
as we pray? Father, we thank you for this
book because it's a supernatural book.
It reveals your heart of reveals your power, reveals your son and
Lord in this place. We do not need to hear from man.
We don't need to hear mere opinion.
We don't need to hear clever thoughts.
We just need the raw truth of your word empowered by the Holy
Spirit, to penetrate our hearts and to bring us to a place of
experiencing what we are studying.
So Lord even now Would you come and set free every distracted
mind and every person that's so emotionally stirred up that they
can't settle in their soul and Lord.
Right now we plead with you that for the sake of our good and
more importantly for the sake of your glory revealed, the
anointed one to us and let us be caught up in him though.
We pray that we would even be raptured with the Revelation
that we are going to discover tonight and that Lord.
Again, we need The anointed one to speak.
So let your Holy Spirit, Come. Lord hear the hearts of your
people that are hungry for bread.
Men Are from heaven and Lord for those in here that are sitting
in the seats for the wrong reason and you know them very
well. We know that you were gracious
enough. To even realign motives.
Even despite false intentions touch and bless and renew.
And we ask that you would do that because we know you were
that good. We pray these things in Jesus
name. Amen.
The anointing of Jesus Christ. Does it end in Isaiah 61?
Is it limited to Isaiah 42? Is there not more to the measure
of the spirit of God that has been given to Christ, which is
really without measure Isaiah chapter 11.
That's our text tonight. Isaiah chapter 11.
Because this anointing that was Upon Jesus.
Implies much greater truth than what we've already discovered.
This might be some review for the first two verses, but it
will do us some good. So here's here's Isaiah.
Now, a profit envisioning, something about this suffering
servant, that's going to come. The Gospel, According to Isaiah
discovering Jesus, according to this Old Testament st.
And this is what he sees, he sees visually symbolically that
there shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse and a
branch from his roots, shall bear fruit.
Now they just stop there. We've talked about this before
when we went through Isaiah 53. But let's review.
So this is what he's seeing. He's seeing a stump a tree
that's cut off, almost to the very bottom of its trunk.
And he sees a little shoot that's coming out of it.
And what he sees is that this stump symbolizes The Descendants
and the ancestry of Jesse and the Chute comes out, which is
something that's very important for us to understand because it
speaks of when we think of trees in the Bible.
Remember, this is not random poll.
Language there's symbolism. And if you really want to know
how to interpret a symbol the Bible interprets, the Bible,
Scripture interprets scripture. You'll be amazed that if you
even look at a book like Revelation, you'll find many
answers in the Book of Daniel to what these horns meet and what
these Waters mean, it's all there.
And this is why we can't just pick and choose what books we
want to read. We got to scale through all of
scripture because you're going to find answers in one book that
are unlock things in another book when we think of a tree and
it's right context. Even in the chapter before this
chapter 11. He talks about cutting down a
tree, which symbolizes a kingdom, which symbolizes a
Dynasty which symbolizes a a rain of a specific person, or a
specific nation. And so when we talk about the
stump of Jesse, what we're talking about is the davidic
dynasty where David became king and God had made an eternal
Covenant with David. That there will be a king that
will reign on his throne forever more.
But at one point in history because not of David necessarily
but his descendants. Have you ever read 1st Kings and
second Kings? What you see is failure after
failure almost with a perfect record though.
There was some faithful ones that have continually sinned
against God and have brought the dynasty of David almost to a
place of non-existence. And for 600 years, there was no
King to rule on the throne of David so that tree was cut off.
There was nobody raining an authority for a long period of
time. And it offers sudden Isaiah goes
into a vision, he's receiving a word from the Lord and he sees
what apparently seems to be dead because I one time David's
Dynasty. David's kingdom, was a mighty
tree that was providing righteousness and Justice to
those who found shelter underneath that tree didn't last
very long unfortunate. and all the book of First Kings and
second Kings, really teaches us is that there's only one
faithful King and he's going to come one day and he did come but
he sees this little shoot coming out life And what he's seeing
here is the Revival of the davidic, kingship and Rain.
What he's seeing is the restoration of what seem to be
so dormant, and almost dead for hundreds of years is about to
spring up to life again. And that is so significant
because God had made a promise to David.
That there would be somebody that will rule on his throne
forever and ever and ever. And it seems as though, God
didn't fulfill this promise but all for a sudden, Isaiah gives a
word And he says, no, it's coming.
And as he comes up, we see that he is fulfilling a promise and
it's a powerful promise, not only this profit but Amos 911.
If we can put up, Amos 911 to see how another Prophet speaks
about this. And this might not seem like it
relates to us much, but aren't you?
Glad that God keeps his promises.
Even if hundreds of years past, God will keep his word.
In that day, I will raise up the booth of David that is fallen
and repair, its breaches and raise up its ruins and rebuilt
it as in the days of old. So, even Amos, the prophet sees
the same thing that Isaiah sees. But there's another reason why
he says. From the stump of Jesse.
Now, I remember this. This dynasty was almost so dead
that to refer to David would almost be insignificant to say
that it came from Jesse almost seems like there is a mini King
for so long, so might as well give the reference to him.
But there's another reason why the prophet says, Jesse relating
to Isaiah predicting when the Messiah and how the Messiah
would come. Can anybody think of a reason
why? Well, here's a question.
That might help where did Jesse come from?
Not know who his father was but where he lived where he was born
and where he was from. Geographically.
That's right, so you go to First Samuel, 16 one when Samuel is
being sent to go and anoint a new king that came from Jesse
who came from where we're going to find out.
The Lord said to Samuel. How long, will you grieve over
Saul since? I had rejected him from being
King over Israel, fill your horn with oil and go.
I will send you to Jesse. The Bethel might fry provided
for myself a king among his sons.
That was David, David fulfilled, this ultimately, but then you
have another Prophet a contemporary with Isaiah,
meaning, he lived alongside with Isaiah named Micah and Micah,
5:2 tells us something about another king that is to come way
past the days of David and what is this?
A, but you o Bethlehem ephrathah who are two littered little to
be among the clans of Judah from?
You shall come forth for me. One, who is to be ruler in
Israel, whose Origins. Ian is from old from ancient
days. So we know now the location
where this Messiah is going to be born.
Isaiah said he came from the stump of Jesse, which means,
yes, he's going to be a descendant from Jesse but more
specifically, he's actually going to be born in Bethlehem.
Michael. Confirms that now who has King
James? New King James, can you read how
it reads the last phrase? Whose origin is from old from
ancient days. What is it?
King James save Micah 5:2. Yeah, whose goings forth have
been from of old from Everlasting.
From Everlasting new King James, Micah 5:2 Isaac, who's going to,
who's going to support that from above from the last name from
Everlasting? Same thing NES.
Be anybody have New American Standard Bible, We got to
recruit somebody and he asked me.
Yeah. One, who is to be ruler in
Israel, whose coming forth is from old, from ancient date,
from ancient days. So, what we understand here.
The language is that whoever is going to be a ruler in Israel.
His origin is from eternity. His origin is not just from, as
we find out from different prophets.
Yes, it descended from David, but he's actually from of old
from ancient days, from Everlasting, from Beyond time,
when even time came into existence, this ruler is going
to come from such a realm enter into time.
Take on flesh. Be born in Bethlehem.
It's so clear there. The language is so clear.
That this person has a divine nature that this ruler is
somebody Supernatural. Isaiah sees it.
And this is the lesson that we can learn.
If you want to make it practical, just from Isaiah
11:1, God is able to revive anything.
In this context, you know what, he revived a kingdom a rain?
A dynasty. Don't limit it to that.
If you can do it that way, I want you to look at your family
and it might look near dead in terms of your parents marriage
in terms of your siblings, and how they relate to one another
and turn to the lostness and the blindness, and the Rebellion
even in your own home and realize that a shoot can come
out of it. Look at your school.
Look at your workplace. Look at your own heart.
Whatever seems like it has had life at one point and has lost
life. God is able to bring it back to
life. That's the power that he
possesses. And that's the hope that you and
I can have. And it can even look as hopeless
as something. Listen, we can never give up.
We can never give up who we pray for and what we pray for.
Because something like this, something that was laid low for
hundreds of years, God did not forget And God did not give up
on. And so we look at something and
we think this is literally hopeless.
Well, if you have breath in your lungs, there's still hope.
There's still hope that God can do things even at the very last
moment and it's still worth praying for if that's a
possibility. It's still worth seeking God.
After if it's still a possibility that's what I see
here. That God is a reviver, he takes
Wilderness and he gushes forth pools of water, he's able to do
anything. This is what I see simply from
this and the reason why they shoot would become a branch,
that would bear much fruit as it says, in the second part and a
branch from his roots. Shall bear.
Fruit, is because of the second verse, The only reason why so
much life would come from something that's been dead for.
So long, is because this servant would be one who possess so much
life in himself. Why is he going to bear fruit?
Why is life going to be restored and the spirit of the Lord shall
rest upon him. The spirit of wisdom and
understanding the spirit of counsel and might the spirit of
knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
Now, if you include verse to, what seems to be a title and you
make it not necessarily a title, but one of the attributes and
one of the characteristics of this anointing upon him, you
have seven spirits Right. Spirit of the Lord, one Spirit
of wisdom to Spirit of understanding three.
Spirit of counsel, for Spirit of Might five Spirit of knowledge,
6, Spirit of the fear of the Lord Seven.
And that can seem a little confusing because you might
think to yourself. What is our seven spirits or
seven holy spirits? What do we see here?
Is that the case? Or is this trying to teach us
something else? Do you guys see that, right?
Everybody count, 7 there. And in verse 2.
And depending on your translation they all look like
capital S is, right? So what do we have to do?
We have seven holy spirit's. Yes, and that's exactly the
answer that. This is not speaking about seven
different Spirits with this is speaking about is this seven
full operations of the one holy spirit that we acknowledge to be
divine and to be God the seven and manifestations of who he is
and how he interacts, and how he manifests his glory is found in
these seven spirits. And so the describe how he's
able to enforce himself and reveal himself and induce
somebody else with power in a specific way way, and we see
that in Revelation Revelations chapter one, Revelations chapter
1. When John the Apostle is writing
to the seven churches. In Asia.
Look how he introduces his letter and Revelations 1425.
Revelation is the opposite. End of Genesis The last book of
the Bible and it says here, John.
To the seven churches that are in Asia, grace to you, and
peace. Now, look at read this very
slowly Grace to you and peace from him.
Who is? And who was?
And who is the come? Who does that describe?
we're going to find out that's one person and from the seven
spirits who are before his throne That's another person.
And thirdly, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness,
the firstborn of the dead and the ruler of the Kings on the
earth to him, who loves us and has freed us from our sins by
his blood. That's three.
We're talking about discovering God, right?
This whole past few weeks, we've been talking about the Trinity
and how the Bible shouts that God is a trying being.
And we see it in John's introductory letter, who is, who
was and who is to come, that's the Father, the seven spirits
who are before his throne. This is the seven full manifold
operations of the Spirit, that's too.
And thirdly, we have the person of Jesus Christ and all three
are introducing themselves through John to the seven
churches. It doesn't even end.
Their Revelation is a nightmare for the anti trinitarian.
The Book of Revelation is a living nightmare for anybody.
With does not believe that, God is a Triune being Turn your
Bibles. Now, here in Revelation.
Go to chapter 4. Chapter 4.
Let's begin in. Verse 2, just to see how this is
so obvious. John is speaking against so he
wrote his letter and now John is in a vision.
He comes in the spirit and it says, I once I was in the spirit
and behold a throne stood in heaven with one seated on the
throne. Now if you read this you realize
that this is God, the father he sees him sitting on the throne
now I know that might be mind boggling but Daniel saw the same
thing in Daniel chapter 7, so he sees God sitting on the throne
but then you read in verse I've something interesting from the
throne came flashes of lightning and Rumblings and peals of
thunder and Before the Throne were burning, seven torches of
fire which are the seven spirits of God. oftentimes, when we read
Revelation, especially those Throne Room Visions, we often
see who the father and the son, have we ever perceived the Holy
Spirit The seven torches which is a symbol of the ministry of
the Holy Spirit, the seven torches of fire which are the
seven spirits of God. So we want to where's the Holy
Spirit? He's right before the throne.
The father's on the throne, The Holy Spirits, Before the Throne.
And then we read in the next chapter, chapter 5 verse 6 and
who comes into this scene. That gets all the attention from
every eye that be held. And between the throne, we
talked about The Throne, there's somebody on the throne to
somebody before the throne and between the throne and the four
living creatures. And among the elders, I saw a
lamb standing. As though it had been slain.
So there's Jesus, we had the father on the throne.
We had the holy spirit before the throne and we have Jesus
entering into the scene as the Lamb of God.
Now, look at this. It doesn't even end there as
though I'd been slain. So whenever he saw he saw as
though, this lamb, this is all vision.
Is all symbolism had been slain, we talked about the Lamb of God,
through Isaiah 53, but as much, as he looks like he's been
slain, it says, here that with seven horns, and with seven
eyes, Which are the seven spirits of God.
Sent out into all the Earth. There's the Holy Spirit again.
But I thought he was before the throne.
But he's not just before the throne, he's upon Christ.
We look at this stuff like horns and eyes.
So we see his slain Lamb with seven horns and seven eyes.
What's going on here? It's symbolic.
Does anybody know what horns represent in the Bible?
One of the main descriptions of what horn has Power Authority
sovereignty strength, we speak about a horn of an animal that
comes against whoever's standing before him.
This is speaking about its ability to bulldoze before
anything. And Zechariah gives the exact
definition. So we got to I know this is a
lot of Bible Bible Study Bible Bible study scripture.
Not a sermon is that Korea 1818 Zechariah 118 just to give us
biblical definition, remember Bible interprets.
Bible, we find the answers to what we see here in the
scriptures alone. And I lifted my eyes, and saw
and behold four horns. Now, what are these horns?
And I said to the angel that talked with me, what are these?
Maybe you've asked them when you read Revelation and he said to
me, these are the horns that have scattered Judah Israel and
Jerusalem speaking about superpowers, the speaking about
Nations that have come against the nation of Israel.
Horns. So Jesus by having seven horns,
that number seven represents what completion Perfection
wholeness. He possesses the perfect power.
He possesses all authority. He alone has complete
sovereignty over every Affair in the world.
It actually speaks about his Omni potent, his power, he is
all-powerful so though he is slain guess.
What he's all-powerful. In fact that it's through him
being slain that he has all power.
And not just horns, but seven eyes.
Seven eyes. What does that mean?
Was that Korea has the answer in Zechariah Chapter 4 verse 10.
Bible interprets Bible. That's why we don't skip books
in the Bible. For whoever has despised the day
of small things shall rejoice and shall see the Plumb line and
the Hand of zerubbabel. Now, look what Zechariah says
these seven are the eyes of the Lord, which range through the
whole earth. So, Zechariah C7 eyes, but he
gets description, he gets an understanding of what these
seven eyes. Represent a speaks about God's
omnipresence His omniscience that there is nothing in this
world that is hidden from his eyes that there is no room dark
enough. There's no pit deep enough.
There's no land for enough in which God does not perceive and
see and understand and is fully aware of what's Happening all at
the same time. And so, now you take those eyes,
you go back to Revelation and it says that Jesus has seven eyes.
Which means what he has perfect knowledge.
All awareness. Complete revelation.
Total understanding. Fully aware nothing ever catches
him by surprise. Nothing is ever done in secret.
Nothing is ever hidden from him. Wow.
How does this slain lamb have seven horns and seven eyes.
When we go back to Revelation 5:6 and we realize these things
that give them that ability, Which are the seven spirits of
God. So for him to possess all power
and for him to possess all knowledge, and all presence
comes from the Sevenfold Ministry of the Holy Spirit
which Isaiah says, I saw it. John saw it.
Isaiah. Saw it.
Welcome to the harmony of the Bible.
I saw it and Paul actually rather Isaiah says I have I have
the names of each of those seven spirits.
I have the functioning I have the understanding of how these
Sevenfold Spirit actually work. So, so look at this, it doesn't
even end there. So the spirit is in the presence
of the father Before the Throne, the spirit is upon Christ.
We see it, right? Seven horns and seven eyes.
That means the spirit is upon Christ.
It doesn't even end there because the holy spirit's
Ministry goes further than that, sent out into all the Earth.
So he's Before the Throne seven torches.
He's upon Christ. And Jesus says, you know, it's
better that I go so I can send someone else.
And he sent out into all the Earth.
We have so belittled, the deity of the Holy Spirit, think about
it, he's before the father, he's upon Christ, he's working in
every single Believers, individual temples.
And as the church as the Temple of the Lord, he's convicting.
He's comforting. He's healing.
He's restoring. He's empowering and he's
regenerating lost. Souls In the presence of the
father upon Christ in every believer out in the world,
restraining Evil. All at the same time.
The deity of the Holy Spirit, the holy spirit is God.
And he's very powerful. So this is what we see.
Isaiah, and John are seeing the same thing and then we go back
to Isaiah. 11:2 and we try to break down what these things.
These spirits that are one but are manifested in seven,
different ways, share the spirit of the Lord, some would debate.
That's a title. I think that's included amongst
his seven, the spirit of the Lord, which speaks of the nature
of God, the character of God, The person of God.
That is poured over the person of Jesus Christ in which the
nature of the Father. The character of the father is
reflected and radiating through his son, perfectly without
measure C. We have the spirit of the lord,
we have the Holy Spirit in us, but we're humans.
And so Jesus Christ is not perfectly displayed through us.
The father is not perfect, it's limited because we have sinned,
we have thought patterns, we have motives that limits, so to
speak. The Holy Spirit from going to
that place, but John Tells us that Jesus received the spirit
without measure. He perfectly displayed the Lord
and he had the spirit of the Lord upon him and everything.
That embodies who God is was portrayed through the person of
Christ. Not just the spirit of the Lord
but the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of wisdom.
The spirit of wisdom is the ability to analyze.
And to assess a situation. And to be able to provide the
best decision and the best solution.
To glorify God and to provide good for man.
The spirit of wisdom was upon Christ, there was nothing too
complicated for Christ to figure out.
There is nothing to perplexing. There is nothing to
dumbfounding, there is nothing. That was so great of a Ministry
that Christ could not look at analyze assess and in provide
the best answer to solving the best solution that can come out
of it. He possessed the spirit of
wisdom and it is even Stop there.
There's even more and we see that in Jesus life, don't we
not? You have politicians who have
religious figures that come up to Jesus and try to throw and
question that would stump him. And he goes and he provides an
answer that literally leaves their mouths.
Drop to the floor and some of them scratching their heads
walking away thing. I've never heard somebody spoke
like this, man, because he had the spirit of wisdom.
You couldn't trap the guy. You could not Corner him, he
would always find a way out and leave you feeling you're in a
corner. The spirit of understanding.
This is mainly speaking about discernment.
And you could try to fool Jesus, all you want, he knew what was
in man? John says He did not interpret
things on the surface level, you can give him words, you can give
him the right look. And he saw past all of that and
he would see the substance of what's really inside of a man.
He would see the reality of a matter, he would know the depths
of a circumstance. There was nothing that could
catch him by surprise. There was nothing that could
fool him. There was nothing that could
make him confused. He had such deep discernment.
It would scare people. He knew about your past.
You knew about what you just did.
He knew where Nathaniel was sitting?
Before he had met him in person. Jesus operated in the spirit of
discernment. Without measure.
We see here the spirit of counsel, I think about this,
that's the next thing, right? With the spirit of wisdom, the
spirit of understanding the spirit of counsel I love this
because because he has the spirit of wisdom and because he
had the spirit of understanding you combine those things, and
who do you have the perfect counselor?
Because he has such depth of knowledge and because he has the
ability to apply that knowledge in the right circumstance with
the right timing and everything else.
Jesus Christ knows how to provide the right Insight.
The right answer the right paths to take the right decision to
make all of those things he gives with such precision.
It's perfect. It's literally perfect.
It's not just good advice. It's perfect advice.
And the comfort that counsel, he also knows how to comfort.
He knows the exact word to give in season.
He knows the right scriptures to lead us to, he knows when you
need to hear that sermon. When you walked into that
service, he knows it all because he possesses understanding.
And because he possesses wisdom, he is the counselor capital c.
Now, like I said, Isaiah is filled, with prophetic
statements about Christ, and here's one of them turned their,
you can turn the year and Isaiah, right?
Isaiah 50, Isaiah 50, this just confirms this thought, Go to
Isaiah 50. Verse 5.
Again, this is speaking about the suffering servant that is to
come. Isaiah 50 verse 5.
This is prophetically speaking about Jesus says the Lord.
God has opened my ear and I was not rebellious, I turned not
backward. I gave my back to those who
strike and my cheeks, to those who pull out the beard, I hid,
not my face from disgrace and spitting.
Where was that? Fulfilled?
In the gospels when he's being persecuted when he was being,
it's persecuted in his trial. So this even gives Isaiah is a
master at giving more description of what happened.
So what you had was Jesus clearly, he had a beard and they
pulled the hairs out of that beard and they spat in his face.
And his back, he did not turn away from obeying the father,
but he in fact, gave it to those to whip it to such a degree that
it look like one big gash. And we go, that's Jesus.
But then people don't realize the verse before verse 5 is
Jesus to. So look at Isaiah, 50 verse 4.
The Lord has given me the tongue of those who are taught that.
I may know how to sustain with a word.
Him who is weary. That's Jesus.
So yeah, we see five and six, that's Jesus.
But first for is Jesus to and you know what it's saying about
Jesus that he's been given such a tongue If you have King James
new King James says, that he would give a word in the right
season. Didn't say, what kind of season
any season. The Lord knows how to speak,
just what you and I need to know to be sustained, log enough to
get to the next season. This is why you don't miss
reading the Bible because that's how God speaks please hear me.
I can tell you moments. Where was in just checking off
devotion in the morning. I can tell you waking up from
something that happened the night before, only to find, even
in my systematic, reading, Jesus, giving the right word.
In the right season where the were like obscure verses that
literally vibrate from the Bible only to penetrate your heart and
Infuse so much life and hope it's as though he spoke from his
very lips into your ears. Christ has been given that kind
of a tongue for the sake of you and me to be able to walk
another day in life. God, doesn't speak to me.
Well, don't say that if your Bible is closed.
Because when you get the word in you, even as you walk through
life, even if you don't have this book directly open before
you, he knows how to take that Revelation that you've digested
to come to life and fruition, and to speak, as though again,
he is whispering right in your ear.
I guarantee you that He's been given the spirit of counsel.
He's the best counselor. Talk to him.
Bring it before, man. Watch how he will provide the
right remedy. Lay on your bed and let those
tears stream down your cheeks to only wet your pillow, but open
your mouth and come to him. Who's been anointed to give you
a word back. Sometimes it doesn't happen
right away but it's worth the wait.
I rather get a good word from the Lord than any were just for
the sake of hearing something. I want to hear from God and
there's one who's been given the spirit of counsel, Jesus Christ
himself, who is the word in the flesh, through his Worth, to
speak to our flesh. And to give us what we need to
get to the next season. Don't say, God doesn't speak
when your Bible is closed. He uses his word to speak, don't
look for fortune. Cookie answer, this book is
filled with truth and he wants to give it to you, and he wants
to give you the right word from this book.
We come back to Isaiah 11, what happens?
Isaiah 11 says, the spirit of counsel in the spirit of Might
the spirit of Might that he's been given the ability to
overcome and Prevail any obstacle, that is laid before
him. There is not one enemy, there's
not one Temptation, there's not one trial that Jesus did not
overpower because of the holy spirit, manifesting in total
might Nothing could stand before him, because of the measure of
power that clothe him. We see that in the wilderness,
we see that with Miracles, we see that with demon possession.
That he walked in with that power and it was glorious.
I mean, you have Jesus when Judas comes with the band of
soldiers as they were looking for, Jesus Christ of Nazareth
and Jesus just says a few words, I am he And as, as though, a
tornado had blown through the Garden of Gethsemane because all
those men flew back just from that statement alone.
The spirit of Might was upon him but that just his Spirit of
mine, lastly, the spirit of knowledge.
Again, a mind that was able to comprehend all matters relating
to all things with a past present or future.
There is nothing that he does not know concerning anything
that this life presents itself. He knows all things.
But let's just not limited to data and how things function and
how things operate in this universe.
Let's bring it and make a personal, he knows everything
about me. And he knows everything about
you. And so great is his knowledge.
That it's coupled with his might, right?
Because he knows every single need.
Do you believe that God knows your needs?
Do you think God knows your needs and he doesn't care about
your needs? The very purpose of his
knowledge of you so that he can take care of you.
That's why he says, don't be worried or anxious.
Listen. Not only is his knowledge.
So clear and so obvious. I mean, it's so amazing that he
knows you and I are more than this is.
Why when you pray for things, you say Lord you know my
desires, you know what, I need more than I know.
So I'm going to trust your leading.
Show me revealed to me. Lead Me Guide Me.
Pray that prayer in every aspect in your life from your job to
who Your spouse is supposed to be ask him because he is the
spirit of knowledge and he knows you better than, you know
yourself. And when you pray to the one who
has the spirit of knowledge realized that he also has the
spirit of might, so he knows it. But he also has the power to
provide for the need So he sees the need and as complex as I
might be. As far-fetched as it, might seem
to receive an answer for it or to receive Clarity on it.
Don't forget that it's coupled with the spirit of might so he
comes in and brings forth and delivers exactly what your heart
is craving. This is who were speaking about
here. The limit himself that the
spirit of all of this happened just at his Earthly Ministry and
it lifted off. No, we just learned in
Revelation that the spirit of God is still upon him.
The Sevenfold spirit Spirit of knowledge.
And then it says here. Lastly, the spirit of the fear
of the Lord, the spirit of the fear of the Lord.
So, the Holy Spirit. Energized.
So to speak enabled. So to speak Jesus.
To delightfully submit, his will to the program of God.
Jesus walked in a reverential. Awe of God.
God help us. This is what we need in 2019.
If there's going to be any Spirit to manifest, that it be
the spirit of the fear of God, the spirit of the Lord.
So Came Upon Christ that he was in profound.
All of the one he served and he walked in that and he operated
in that and everything that he did was not in reluctance was
not in a fear in which he was crippled and Paralyzed by
Terror. It was this desire.
Fire in the knowledge of how holy and awesome.
The father is that he says you have all of me.
You know, what's beautiful? We can ask for that.
If the fear of the Lord comes from the Holy Spirit, I can pray
to the Holy Spirit to be. I want that.
I want greater measure of that because the fear of the Lord,
prolongs life and the fear of the Lord is the hatred of evil,
and the fear of the Lord is a shield, and the fear of the Lord
is a Fountain of Life. I don't know why people are so
afraid of the fear of the Lord. It brings so much good.
Because it's a lie from the devil.
That's why to make you afraid of the doctrine of the fear of the
Lord. So that you would not benefit
from the riches that ooze out of that reality.
That's why guarantee you 100%? The spirit of the fear of the
Lord was on him. And he says, in verse 3, that it
was his Delight, his Delight shall be in the fear of the
Lord. And now we read these wonderful
things that Jesus operated in, we read these things and we go,
that's amazing. Surely we see this in the
gospels, but do you realize that Isaiah is not just speaking
about Jesus first coming? That these things would not just
be displayed as you walk in this world for 33 years. if you make
the connection to the rest of this prophecy, we realized that
this giving of the spirit, this anointing that Came Upon Christ
extends into the second mission of his second coming when he
comes back physically to rain on the world again.
Because this is what we believe about the second coming of Jesus
Christ. We believe that Jesus came at
one point. Yes. 2000 years ago to purchase
us through his blood to save us from our sins.
But as Jesus comes back, we are not entering immediately into an
eternal State some mistaken that we're not.
We're not going to be just getting to heaven and
everything's a done deal. That's not what the Bible
describes. We have this first coming.
This age of Grace, We're still in it.
You want to know if you're in Bible times, were in Bible
times, souls are still coming in, Gentiles are still coming in
conferences, are still being organized, missionaries are
still being sent because the year of the Lord's, favor is
still in it when that comes to an end, Jesus will return when
he returns, he is going to physically rain on the earth for
1,000 years. It's called the millennial reign
of Christ. Jesus is actually going to come
set his feet because he's still fully man fully God, he's going
to set his feet on the Mount of Olives and he is going to
establish his kingdom physically before the Eternal state for
1000 years. If we don't believe that there's
a lot of things in the Bible that don't make sense.
A lot of things in the Bible that don't make sense.
Including this prophecy. We're going to talk about why
believing in the millennial Reign is so important.
What do we see here? And his Delight in verse 3,
shall be in the fear of the Lord.
He shall not judge by what is IC or decide disputes but what his
ears here, this is speaking about kingship.
This is speaking about one, who is to be a judge?
Jesus Christ, did not come to the world to judge.
You came to save, he's coming back to judge and when he comes
back to sit on a physical throne, In a physical place.
In this world, he's going to be judging all the nations and now
look at how his judgment is going to be performed.
Remember we just talked about the Sevenfold Ministry of the
spirit upon Christ. He's going to be so endued with
knowledge and discernment and insight.
That when a case is brought before him, he won't need to see
evidence, and he won't have to hear anything that they have to
say. He shall not judge by what is IC
or decide this piece by what his ears here he is.
So, having this obvious knowledge of, what's before him
that he's going to dictate and determine the judgment and
they're going to go off, and they're going to be given what?
He's been. Granted his perfect
righteousness and judgment. Can you think about that?
There's no need for lawyers in the lawyers in the millennial
reign. Just bring the case before him
and he's going to give the answer just bring the case
before me. He's going to provide the
solution. He doesn't need to hear your
arguments it isn't he see the evidence?
All he needs is the spirit that's been given to him.
And that this is amazing, right? Because at one point, there was
a king just like that very similar to that.
What was his name? A real king that actually lived
in Israel. Solomon.
Now, listen to this, I'm going to read to you.
What Solomon was like in his Reign.
It says, here in 1st Kings 3434 and people of all nations, came
to hear the wisdom of Solomon. People of all nations came to
hear what Solomon had to say, and from all the kings of the
earth who had heard of his wisdom.
So you have all these kings that heard about this man saw them
and they go, we got to hear what this guy has to say and they
would flock to him. We had the Queen of Sheba that
flock to him to just here and she goes what you have to say.
Is greater than what I've been told the wisdom that you've been
giving. Surely, God has loved Israel by
making you King. But then you go to the gospels
and you see Jesus condemning certain cities and he said, even
the Queen of Sheba went to go see Solomon and something
greater than Solomon is here. So, if the nations of the kings
of the peoples of all the world came to flocking here.
Solomon, what will it be like? When Jesus Reigns on the earth,
you want to wonder what its gonna be like when Jesus comes?
What am I going to do for all eternity?
Well, here's one thing you're going to do, you're going to
want to sit and just hear him talk.
You just going to want to hear the wisdom that oozes out of
him. And be astonished stunned.
By the spirit of wisdom and understanding and counsel that
he possesses. And so we see here in Isaiah 11,
that it doesn't stop there. He shall not judge by what his
eyes, see, your decide, this piece by what his ears hear.
But with righteousness, he shall judge the poor and decide with
equity for the meek of the earth.
He shall strike the Earth with the rod of his mouth.
And with the breath of his lips, he shall kill the wicked.
So the same one that we love and adore and worship who breathes
life into man is the same one, who possesses the power to take
life out of man with his words. Just by his word, he doesn't
need guards. He doesn't need weapons.
He doesn't need tanks and he doesn't need nuclear.
All he needs is to say the word for us to disintegrate like
powder. and as powerful, as you see the Antichrist, the false
prophet, the Beast, and the Book of Revelation, you know, what it
says in 2nd Thessalonians, Second Thessalonians 2 tells us
in verse 8 and then the Lawless one will be revealed whom the
Lord, Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth.
So even when Jesus Christ comes on the scene and he's faced with
the Antichrist when he's faced with the one who deceived the
whole world to worship a false. God who did false signs and
wonders? You know what?
Jesus will have to do when he shows up, get out of here, and
he's gone. The breath of his mouth alone.
and your non-existent, And when he comes to rule and reign in
this world because he's coming when he sits upon his throne.
And when he has to deal with the wicked, he just has to say the
word that's going to be a site. Don't you think?
And then it goes on to describe and verse 6.
In this Millennial Reign, a shift in every way possible.
So listen, it's not just going to change the way the world is
operating. In terms on a human level.
Every element of existence will be altered due to the Eternal
reign of Christ specifically in his Millennial Reign.
Look what it says in verse 6. This is just something that I
think is amazing. The wolf shall dwell with the
lamb. And the leopard shall lie down
with the young goat and the calf, and The Lion, and the
fattened calf together. So, what we see is harmony
amongst animals. What we see is a reversal of
what happened in Genesis, where there was a dread upon the
animals from man, we see that today do we not that there's a
dread of humanity from the animals that they're on guard,
that they don't approach us? Some do, some are more tame than
others. When Christ comes to establish
his kingdom. There's going to be a literal
shift of the way animals, relate, to one another.
And what we see here and a little child shall lead them.
The cow and the bear shall graze and their young shall lie down
together and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
So, animals are not going to be eating each other anymore.
The nursing child think about this shall play over the whole
of the cobra. And the weaned child shall put
his hand on the adders Den. They shall not hurt, nor destroy
in all my Holy Mountain, for the Earth, shall be full of the
knowledge of the Lord, as the waters, cover the sea.
So, what we see is animals, They won't harm each other anymore,
and hand animals will not harm children anymore and children
can play with animals. Even with snakes, even with
poisonous snakes because there's literally going to be such an
obvious sense of the sovereignty and the power of God's enforced
righteousness on the earth that it's going to have an effect on
beasts itself. This was going to happen and
this is in this world for 1,000 years.
Do you know what else is going to change in this world?
Not just the way animals relate to you.
And I are relate to one another geographically land is going to
shift. Isaiah chapter 2, turn your
Bibles to Isaiah chapter 2, just to see it.
Look at verse 1 of Isaiah chapter 2.
The word that Isaiah the son of amoz Saw concerning Judah and
Jerusalem. It shall come to pass in the
latter days that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be
established as the highest of the mountains.
And shall be lifted up above the hills and all the nations shall
flow to it, that we see it. Then when he comes to Jerusalem
and establishes his kingdom geographically speaking, the
land will be so elevated that it's going to be the highest
mountain and all the nations will realize it and Float to it.
And what are people going to do? During this time, what they did
in Solomon's time, look at verse 3 and many people shall come and
say come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord to the
house of the god of Jacob that he may teach us his ways.
And that we may walk in his paths for out of Zion shall go
forth, the law and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between nations and shall decide disputes for
many people's. So, during this thousand year
reign, it doesn't, it's not heaven yet.
It's not free from sin, it's not free from Death.
It's not free from the possibility of rebellion.
In fact we're going to be shocked in a moment.
What's going to happen at the end of the thousand year reign?
But what is going to happen is that Jesus Christ will enforce,
enforce such righteousness. He will judge between nations.
He will bring about a verdict between how rulers deal with one
another and there will be such a level of Peace during this
thousand year reign. As Christ has come with the
Sevenfold Spirit upon him. Look what they're going to do
with their weapons. Look what your Bible says, the
second part of verse 4, they shall beat their swords into
plowshares. And their Spears into pruning.
Hooks Nation shall not lift up sword against Nation, neither
shall they learn War anymore? So they're going to look at all
the weapons and say, geez. What are we going to do with
these? There's no more war so let's
turn into farming equipment. Let's turn into agricultural
tools. Let's find a different use for
them. That's how much peace there will
be in the world no more war budget.
No more military investment. All of that is going to be given
to different things in this life when Jesus Christ becomes king
over the world. go back to Isaiah 11:10 as we conclude in
verse 10, it says In that day, the root of Jesse who shall
stand as a signal for the peoples of him, shall the
nation's Inquirer and his resting place shall be glorious.
This is why we have to read the Bible carefully and slowly,
sometimes and repetitively. How does it describe?
Jesus and Isaiah 11:1. What does it say there shall
come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse and a branch from
his roots, shall bear fruit. Then you come to verse 10, it
says in that day, the root of Jesse So, which is he?
Does he come after or does he come before?
Because a route implies something to produce.
Something that Branch implies something as a result of the
route. But it's saying to you that the
branch of Jesse and is describing the same person as a
root of Jesse, because Jesus is not just his descendant.
Jesus is David's creator. In that day, the root of Jesse
who shall stand as a single for the peoples of him, shall rule
the Nations and choir and his resting place shall be glorious.
Now we read this, and I know it's a long week, it's the end
of the week. It's Friday night.
We read this and we see a future hope, don't we?
We look forward to the day in which Jesus Christ will come
physically Reign for a thousand years and more importantly, for
all eternity and when he comes there's going to be such Harmony
and is going to be such peace amongst one.
Another there's going to be such a limited amount of evil.
You know why? Because Revelations 20 says that
Satan will be bound for a thousand years.
To not deceive anyone. So we don't have the tempter
coming and doing what he does. Best there's going to be a time
period in which his influence will be subdued in order for
Christ to fulfill his reign. And here's my question though,
that as a future anticipation, there is a present reality of
that, that we should also long for why, because though, the
world itself will not come under subjection until Jesus Christ.
Physically returns, there is a reality of the kingdom of God
and it is represented in the church.
And so, you know what, we should think of, if the result of Jesus
Christ becoming King over a land, over the world, produces
peace and Harmony and unity should then not be at least
somewhat displayed in the people of God.
Jesus Christ is King over their lives.
Do you guys understand what I'm trying to say trying to say
this? That when the world who will one
day bow the knee to Jesus Christ and realize him as king of the
earth, and King of the universe that same world who is not in
that place. Yet should at least be able to
look and open one of our Windows PK and get a glimpse of the
reality of what Jesus Christ and his Reign looks like by seeing
how we treat one another. No.
Is Jesus Christ. Not King over.
Our lives is not the kingdom of God within us.
Jesus said, because the reality of the Kingdom now is that it's
here and not yet. And the here part must manifest,
because the world should look into the church and see another
world. But it doesn't come when you
have a building with a cross on top of it, that's not a church.
It doesn't come with a nice padded.
Pews is even come with a speaker and a worship team.
It comes with people that Jesus Christ King over their lives and
when you get those people together, there should be some
kind of flavor of the millennial Reign.
There should be some kind of insight into what it will look
like when Jesus fully takes over the world and becomes king over
all the nations. We have a responsibility.
We should be a window into what's to come and we should
have people excited for Jesus Christ to return by seeing what
it's like to be under his Reign before he actually comes and
Reigns. This is just a sign of.
Have you ever wonder why Jesus Christ has to come for a
thousand years? Why don't we just get to heaven?
I've always thought that and some people believe that we are
in the Thousand Year now that the rain is symbolic and that
this is all these things that we just read about the wolf and the
lamb. All this is not essential
doctrinal things, these are secondary issues but it's just
worth the thought. And so you think like why would
Jesus physically Reign for a thousand years?
We can just go straight into the Eternal state.
There's many reasons. Here's one of the main reasons
God is faithful to his promises and God had made particular
Promises to the nation of Israel that he is yet to fulfill and
will be fulfilled during this thousand year reign.
God promised that there would be a king who would rule forever
and ever. Jesus Christ will actually do
that physically as he sits on the throne in Jerusalem.
Jesus Christ will fulfill the promises that God made to
Abraham about land. He made a land Covenant with
Israel that he's going to fulfill and that he's going to
show forth that he's kept his promise.
Not only that there's even more to that the millennial Reign is
going to reveal very shockingly, the depth of the depravity of
mankind. Do you know why?
Because even when Jesus Christ, physically comes to this world
and Reigns and will enforce righteousness, to all the
nations, listen to this, this is crazy.
You ready for this? Satan will be subdued for a
thousand years. Satan will literally be bound in
a pit to not influence anyone to not whisper.
Hey, why don't you do this and do that and influence the media
and music and all the things that are surrounding us and
bombarding us? He's going to have no influence
and yet you ready for this turn to Revelation 20?
Look at verse 7 of Revelations, 20.
And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released
from his prison and will come out to deceive the Nations that
are at the Four Corners of the Earth.
Think about that for a moment. Then after all of that, the
devil yet has one more attempt to deceive the people of this
world in a Utopia and almost a Garden of Eden State.
Like and yet still have a chance to see people and people will be
deceived even in that kind of holy environment to betray and
walk away from Christ, only to ultimately experience Eternal
separation from. Can you?
Imagine what is that? Say that just describes that.
It's not about an environment that influences our Behavior.
The problem of humanity is their heart, not what kind of home
they grew up in necessarily and now what kind of neighborhood
they are in or what kind of nation has no.
No, we're going to find out that there's a day.
Coming were perfect, Justice will be enforced.
Perfect laws will be established.
The the poor everybody else will receive what is due unto them.
And they're going to even see the physical Christ and yet
Satan will have one more chance to deceive and it's actually
going to work for some people. What's the problem here man's
heart? That's the problem.
If a happened in the Garden of Eden, it will happen in the
millennial Reign and all its going to show is the depths of
our depravity and our need for the Holy Spirit to regenerate
our hearts. That's what it's going to
reveal. But it's going to be a time in
which we're getting closer to what heaven will be like, do
what I'm saying. We're not there yet during that
rain, but it's like time is now taking us closer into what God
wants to usher in for all time. You guys have time, we're good,
Isaiah 65, Isaiah 65. So we knew that is going to
affect land. It's going to affect how laws
are established it's going to affect animals.
Then we come to a verse like this and Isaiah 65.
Verse 17 for behold. I create new heavens and a new
Earth and the former things shall not be remembered or come
to mind, aren't you? Glad that when Heaven comes
there things are, we're not going to remember.
This is a verse that we often use when it comes to people, who
think what am I going to do? If I have a loved ones that are
going to go to hell, what am I going to do?
If one of my best friends that is not going to accept Christ is
going to be eternally separated from, I think this first place
some roll into that, the former things shall not be remembered
or come into mind. And Isaiah has this habit by the
Holy Spirit to speak about a certain reality and then shift
gears and to go into another Prophecy in the same thing.
We saw that with Jesus right, he stops, right?
When he says to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the
very next phrase talks about his second coming.
You remember that the year of the Lord's favor, first coming
and the day of Vengeance of our God s coming in one sentence.
So verse 17 to verse 19, he's talking about the new heavens
and the new Earth coming in the Eternal state.
But in verse 20, he is not speaking about the Eternal
state. It may seem like that as you're
reading, it may seem like he's talking about having.
It may seem like he's talking about the Eternal state but then
you go to verse 22. Hold on.
That's not talking about eternity.
Can't talk about eternity. What does it say?
No more shall there. Be in an infant who lives but a
few days or an old man who does not fill out.
His days for the young man shall die.
A hundred years old in this sinner.
Sinners are sinners in heaven. There's death and Heaven.
Sinner. 100 years old shall be accursed.
He shift gears and he's talking about the Eternal that rather
the millennial reign of Christ. And what is he saying there that
in the millennial Reign, it's going to be very much like how
the Ages were from the Garden of Eden downward.
That life will be extended for hundreds of years.
I mean, life will be extended to such a degree that if you died,
100 years old, you're considered a cursed and babies aren't going
to die. Verse 22.
They shall not build and another inhabit, they shall not plant.
And another eat for like the days of a tree, shall the days
of my people be and just in case we don't think this is speaking
about the millennial Reign, go back to verse 25.
What is this a the wolf and the lamb shall graze together?
The lion shall eat straw, like the ox and the dust shall be
serpents food. They shall not hurt, or destroy
in. All my Holy Mountain.
Isaiah already said that in Chapter 11.
Jesus Christ is coming back. And as much as we see this world
and is amazing as it is, we're only getting a glimpse of what's
to come. Things are going to shift real
quick when he puts his feet on the Mount of Olives.
Things are going to happen and they're going to happen in a way
in which we're going to think it's Heaven itself but it's not
even what heaven has to offer. But as it comes to that point,
we're getting closer and closer to the curtain of Eternity.
And so Jesus Christ, fully comes.
Now think about this. Think about this.
Apart from the Holy Spirit entering into your heart and
changing you, you can live in a place like the millennial Reign
and still go to hell at the end of it.
Man, if that should create anything in us, a sense of
desperation, if you're in this place, and you're not sure
you're saved. Because even people had seen
Miracles, Jesus opening the eyes of the Blind and Jesus opening
the ears of the deaf and guess what?
Many of them did not believe If I knew I wasn't saved and I
realized that one day, Jesus going to physically rain on the
earth and there's still people that will be deceived by the
devil. Oh my.
Oh my God have mercy on me, change my heart because I know
that even if I see, even if I hear and even if I behold unless
you come in and change me from the inside out, I'm doomed.
Give me your conviction. And give me the ears to hear and
give me the eyes to see my need for a savior.
The gospel doesn't change in the millennial Reign, people will
still need to realize Jesus Christ as the only source of
salvation. And that's true today.
That's true today. Can you imagine either this book
is true or we just read a fairytale ladies and gentlemen.
Either this book is true or we just spent the last hour here,
talking about nonsense. Either God is true or he is like
a man who lies. Well, let's look at his track
record. Jesus Christ, physically
existed, Jesus Christ, physically walked on this Earth,
atheists, acknowledge that agnostics, acknowledge that,
where they'll disagree is his statements, about being divine
so if there is really a man that came and walked in this world
named Jesus Christ who actually influenced history, And here's
another thing that should get our attention, his grave is
empty. And maybe we should take what he
has to say about the future more seriously.
And for those who have believed on him, may this be a source of
hope. We're not talking Fairy Tale
video games and movies here. We're talking about a reality
that Jesus Christ is actually going to come and Reign and
Rule. And we're going to see a shift.
Like we never thought will happen but we'll be able to say
that's my king. That's my king.
Do you have Jesus Christ as king of your life?
He's real. He's more real thing than you
think I dare you to get desperate enough to say.
Lord if you're really the one that I just heard about that can
give good news to the poor that can heal the brokenhearted that
can make me. Hold I can set me free from sins
and heal the brokenhearted that can make my fire.
For you come to life that can give me counsel and can give me
wisdom and can give me guidance. I want you, I dare you.
To take this word as it says and to give God childlike Faith at
this, a God, if you're there, I want you.
And watch how gracious and tender.
He really is and watch how powerful he is.
Watch how powerfully is? I don't care how bound you are
in sin. I don't care how many lines you
sniffed up your nostril. I don't care.
How buzzed you might be on drugs even now.
God is able to set you free. But you got to call upon him.
Because I got nothing for you. Nobody up here has anything for
you. All we do is sing and Proclaim
about the one who's able to do something about it and we're not
talking about somebody that doesn't exist.
We're not talking about a historical figure that once live
He's Alive. He's more real than you think.
He's at touching distance from your seat right now.
He's unseen but also if you call upon him, it will be as though
you can see him. Because more than the eyes of
your flesh, the eyes of your heart will open up and you will
be holding, because the spirit will come in and regenerate your
soul and you will know life, like, you've never known life
before. I'll tell you this, as much as
in the millennial, Reign things will shift and change in this
life. Now, you'll see everything
differently. Grass gets Greener and walls and
their pain, get brighter lights, get brighter songs, sound better
especially The Godly ones. Life has purpose.
There's a satisfaction of the Soul.
That nothing in this life can even come close to.
I'm trying to bite my tongue. because, Christians.
We need to prove to the world. That Jesus is enough.
Because from what I hear from different people.
And our generation. They're not very convinced.
And yes, a big part of that is their sin nature.
But I think another reason for that is because they look at us
and they don't see any difference.
But until we can say, Holy anointed one, your name is like,
honey. On my lips.
You know what we're saying to Jesus?
When we say that we're saying when I actually say your name,
there's sweetness to it. Like the name alone can come for
me. There's reverence to that name.
Jesus is not your homeboy. Jesus is Holy.
Your spirits like water to my soul.
What we're saying there. you satisfy me beyond anything else
in this life, and I'm telling you that I think that's a song
that we can sing in light of this, holy and anointed one, he
is so anointed, he is so set apart.
He is so consecrated, he alone. Possesses all these things that
we described and he's worthy of our worship and adoration in
light of it. I encourage you if any point
this time as we close in a moment to sing that if you don't
know Jesus, you would call upon him and say, God almighty I want
to know you and I give my life to you.
I know that my sins have put you on the cross.
I Repent of them and I give you my life if you do know him Is
your first love. Can you confidently?
Say your name is like, honey on my lips and your spirits like
water to my soul. If not, he is so good to us and
you so anointed he can rekindle that reality again, that's how
precious he is. So when we focus on Isaiah 61,
we talked about his ability to restore from sin Isaiah 42, to
restore the broken hearted and those that are discouraged.
And here he is and Isaiah 11 who needs some wisdom.
Who needs counsel, who needs Direction?
Who needs guidance, who needs to know the next step who needs to
hear a word in season call upon him?
Call upon we've called upon him and Isaiah 61.
We've called upon him and Isaiah 42.
Let's call upon him and Isaiah 11.
He's willing to do it. Would you bow your heads?
