God is about to show himself, 11 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,920 make himself real in a very personal way to us today. 12 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,200 God is about to make himself real to somebody in this room 13 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,120 today. Are you ready for this? 14 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,520 Hallelujah. OK, this is not just another 15 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,120 service, OK, this everything can change. 16 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,320 This can be your turning point.

This is my God moments. 21 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,400 Oh Hallelujah. So you're ready for the word 22 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,920 because we're going to go straight into John chapter 20. 23 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,200 Hallelujah. God has been sharing a powerful 24 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,080 word and I want to release that the way God showed me John 25 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,720 chapter 20. So go with me to John 20 and 26 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,080 we're going to pick it up from verse 24. 27 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,880 It says now Thomas called the twin one of the 12 was not with 28 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,520 them when Jesus came. He was not with them, right. 29 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,400 So I want us to get this doubting Thomas, we was not with 30 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,520 them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore 31 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,240 said to him, OK, we've seen the Lord. 32 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:43,600 So this is what Thomas said, unless I see his hands and the 33 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,240 print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the 34 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,120 nail and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. 35 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,000 Now watch this after 8 days. OK, so this is not a week later 36 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,920 Jesus come back, disciples were again inside and Thomas with me 37 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,520 right? So this time Thomas, there Jesus 38 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,360 came, the doors being shut and locked and stood in the midst 39 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,800 and said peace to you. Then he said to Thomas, reach 40 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,160 your finger, yeah look at my hands and reach your hand here 41 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,880 and put into my side. Do not be unbelieving but 42 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,400 believing. And Thomas answered and said to 43 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,400 him, oh, here it comes. Here's the my God moment. 44 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,680 My Lord and my godfather, we thank you for your presence in 45 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,760 this place. We thank you that because Jesus 46 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,800 is alive, everything changed. Lord, speak to every heart, 47 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,720 every person. Let faith arise. 48 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,800 And God, let this today be a personal moment, a my God 49 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,960 personal moment with you this morning in Jesus mighty name, we 50 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,960 pray somebody say I may. So what I love about this 51 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,560 passage of scripture here in John chapter 20 about this 52 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,000 Easter scripture is not only the fact that Jesus rose from the 53 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,240 grave, but also about the fact that Jesus still meets people 54 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,040 personally. And I love that how we came 55 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,520 personally to Thomas. He still comes personally and 56 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,680 yes, Thomas doubting. And so Jesus still comes 57 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,720 personally to those. Maybe somebody feels unsure, 58 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,600 maybe disappointed or wounded, struggling. 59 00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:31,840 And he still comes to those who feel like he has missed the 60 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,760 moment. Maybe you feel somebody that 61 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,360 feels like missed an opportunity missed the moment. 62 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,080 OK. And I love how Thomas he walk 63 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,960 with Jesus for 3 1/2 years. He heard him teach, he watched 64 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,480 him move. He watched Jesus perform healing 65 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,480 miracles, science and oneness for 3 1/2 years. 66 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,000 And then Jesus died. Oh, and the Friday is not always 67 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,600 like a Good Friday because it wasn't disappointing for the 68 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,120 disciples disappointment Jesus and gone. 69 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,720 The leader is gone. And so Jesus, after the death, 70 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,520 he rose, and from his restriction, his first 71 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,640 appearance, Oh my goodness, Thomas is not there. 72 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,440 Ooh, okay, so Thomas missed that moment. 73 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,520 And that's how many people feel today. 74 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,040 Maybe you feel you have missed a moment. 75 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,399 Maybe you feel you've missed an opportunity. 76 00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:23,520 Maybe you feel that you've missed and a relationship or a 77 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,240 career, or you've missed, you've lost years. 78 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,480 You feel that you should be further along by now and you 79 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,520 feel that you have missed an opportunity, missed the moment. 80 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,240 And so deep down you're saying like, listen, I have missed my 81 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,360 moment. Maybe that is how you feel like 82 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,000 Thomas. And this is a very powerful 83 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,120 story here from Thomas, a story that we are learning to that 84 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:49,240 we're seeing because it reminds us that missing a moment doesn't 85 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,680 mean missing God doesn't mean missing God's mercy. 86 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,320 OK, because and this is what I love because Jesus came back 87 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:02,080 Hallelujah. OK, so missing doesn't mean 88 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,840 missing his. Eight days later, the. 89 00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:07,840 Bible says Jesus came. Back, OK. 90 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:11,200 And I love the fact that when Jesus came back, he was not, he 91 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,960 said, listen Thomas, that's too bad. 92 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,200 You missed your moment. You were not there. 93 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,640 Jesus did not say, Thomas, you were not there because you were 94 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,600 not there because you missed your moment. 95 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:24,080 OK, you missed me. Jesus did not say that. 96 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:30,200 Eight days later, when Jesus came, he released an encounter. 97 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,960 There was an encounter, a personal moment, a God moment. 98 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,440 And so I love the fact that Jesus came back for him. 99 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,080 He came back for the one who fell. 100 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,720 They missed. Come. 101 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,880 On somebody, Are you creating this message? 102 00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:47,040 From the book of John. Hallelujah. 103 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,040 And so I just love our merciful, our King, our comeback King. 104 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,800 Hallelujah, somebody, the comeback king, the comeback 105 00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:58,760 Jesus, he comes back for us. And so maybe if you feel that, 106 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,080 you know, it's you feel you've missed an opportunity or you 107 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,920 feel wasted years, missed opportunities, OK, maybe you 108 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,680 feel late, but you are not too late. 109 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,240 Maybe you feel missed, but you are not being left out or you've 110 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,520 missed something or too much, but you have not missed God's 111 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,880 mercy. I mean, somebody, are you 112 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,480 getting this? And so the enemy would come with 113 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,240 condemnation and try and and and put guilt and shame and say, 114 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,440 well, you've missed it. The. 115 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,920 Enemy is the one that brings condemnation, guilt and say 116 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,760 you've missed your moment, you've missed your, you've 117 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,160 missed that relationship, you've missed that career, you've 118 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,080 missed that. That's the enemy, not Jesus. 119 00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:39,360 Jesus, Easter says this and I know how to come back for you. 120 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,120 OK Thomas, you were not there the first appearance you were 121 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,320 not there, but I just yelled to tell. 122 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,200 Jesus knows how to come back. Jesus knows how to find you. 123 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,040 Jesus knows how to find the Thomas and I just love that. 124 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,320 Can we put our house together for King Jesus? 125 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,320 Yeah, come back, King. He knows how to come back. 126 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,400 Maybe you've missed the moment, but you thought he missed his 127 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,760 mercy. And that is one of the things I 128 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,520 love about God, that you know, he's not just the God of perfect 129 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,560 people. He's not just the God of people 130 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,200 that always gets the first time right, always get it right the 131 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,840 first time always. He's the God of imperfect 132 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,160 people, rough ages, wrong turns, messy situations and stories. 133 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,360 OK, that he still loves you. He still believes in you. 134 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,640 Even sometimes when you struggle believing in yourself, He still 135 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,080 loves you, He still comes for you. 136 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,520 He knows how to find you. Okay. 137 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,640 And that is what I want us to get today in this message that 138 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,280 you may have missed a moment, but you've not missed His mercy. 139 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,360 You've not missed His mercy, you've not missed the grace of 140 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,120 God. Hallelujah. 141 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,040 That is a good news of Easter. Now I want to tell you because 142 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,680 the Bible says in verse 26, yeah it says after 8 days these 143 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,920 disciples were again inside and Thomas with them and Jesus came 144 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,080 the doors being shut and stood in the mint and said peace. 145 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,400 Now I love that little phrase. Thomas was with them. 146 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,240 Hallelujah. So this time, OK, he is now with 147 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,920 them. Thomas is dead even still. 148 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,880 Full. Of questions, doubts, unsure, do 149 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,880 not understand it all, don't have it all together. 150 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,800 But this is what I love about Thomas. 151 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,560 Even doubting Thomas. We all believe he's been labeled 152 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,320 doubting Thomas, even though he's still full of questions, 153 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,680 unsure. He come back anyway now. 154 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,640 Oh my God, I love that. I love that phrase that he come 155 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,480 back anyway, like, oh, I, I don't have all the questions. 156 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,039 I don't, I don't understand everything. 157 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:42,919 I kind of explain that, OK, but come back anyway. 158 00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:46,560 And that is such a powerful word because sometimes faith doesn't 159 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:50,640 mean having all the answers. Faith doesn't always mean we've 160 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,560 got it all together. Everything perfect, all figured 161 00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:57,040 out. But showing up, Lord, I do not 162 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,680 understand everything I do not have. 163 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,840 Lord, I don't feel great. I don't feel very sure. 164 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,920 I don't feel on top of Lord I. But I'm still coming anyway. 165 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,960 Yeah, Lord, I'm struggling with this. 166 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,880 I don't have the question. It feels like life has been so 167 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,840 unfair. Life has knocked the wind out of 168 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,880 me. But Lord, I'm still coming 169 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,680 anyway. And I love how Thomas even 170 00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:20,880 doubting Thomas he still shows up. 171 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:22,800 Comes. Anyway. 172 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,440 And that is real faith, because real faith is not pretending 173 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,120 that we have all the answers. OK? 174 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,520 It's not pretending that we have no questions, but faith is 175 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,600 bringing the questions in the presence of Jesus, bringing the 176 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,240 doubt, the unsurety into the prisons. 177 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,040 And maybe that is where you are today. 178 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,080 You did not come here today feeling on top of the world that 179 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,400 everything's perfect, strong, OK. 180 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,480 You didn't come here and and feeling that you know, 181 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,480 everything is perfect. Maybe you come here and you're 182 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,800 facing some private battles. Maybe you've had a rough week, 183 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,800 you're facing some difficulties and some challenges and you just 184 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,760 cannot explain it all. But what I love is that you 185 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,800 showed up and this is amazing. I thank God that you I'm glad 186 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,040 you are here today.

I'm so glad you are at the right 190 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,000 place at the right time of all places where people like you've 191 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,920 come to church on Easter Sunday morning, you've showed up. 192 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,120 That matters somebody. Are you getting this? 193 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,680 It's it matters that you're showing up because sometimes the 194 00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:32,880 greatest faith, it's just simply showing up. 195 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,840 Yeah. Yeah, just. 196 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,080 Simply showing up. OK, yeah, we don't understand 197 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:37,920 it. We don't have all the reason, 198 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,640 maybe feel doubts on the skin, but we're showing up. 199 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,720 We're showing up OK. Showing up to church when my 200 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,480 heart, if my heart feels heavy. But I'm showing up for church. 201 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,480 You show up for worship. Life has been unfair, but we're 202 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,000 showing up for worship. We're showing up to pray when 203 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,320 all I can say is 1 St. and says is Lord, here I am. 204 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,200 I feel. Broken, I feel doubt, but you 205 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,600 know what? I'm showing up for church. 206 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,920 I'm coming to you. And I love that when Thomas 207 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,240 says, listen, I'm going to show up. 208 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,360 And Thomas, he did not wait until everything in his life is 209 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,200 perfect. I've got all the questions on 210 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,120 everything. Thomas was with her. 211 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,520 He showed up, Hallelujah. Even through disappointment, 212 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,200 through difficulties and trials, he decided, listen, he kept 213 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,960 showing up. And I want to encourage somebody 214 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,280 here today keep on showing up. Keep on believing, keep on 215 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,280 praying, keep on Lily, keep on story up. 216 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,480 Hallelujah. Because when you keep on 217 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,120 showing, it's an act of faith and it's one touch, one 218 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,520 encounter with God. And everything shifts. 219 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,440 Everything changes in a moment. And that's what I love about 220 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,720 Thomas. Oh, he might not have been there 221 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,040 the first time when Jesus, but he came back and we are here 222 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,000 today. We show up and when it comes, I 223 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,840 believe God is about to reveal himself to somebody in this room 224 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,640 today. Everything changes. 225 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,400 Keep showing up. Tell your neighbors they keep 226 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,480 showing up. Yeah. 227 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,280 Keep showing up, Keep showing up. 228 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,680 Keep showing up. Hey, man, keep showing up 229 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,880 because we are here not for relief. 230 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,040 We are here for God. We are here for the Lord and we 231 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,920 keep showing up. Now here's one of my favorite 232 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,600 parts of the story because you know, Thomas said, OK, so the 233 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,560 disciple said, so Thomas missed the first one. 234 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,480 And they're all like, hey, Jesus alive. 235 00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:29,560 You know Thomas, like unless I see, unless I touch, unless I, I 236 00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:38,480 will not believe unless Now when Thomas said that Jesus was not 237 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:44,520 visibly standing there when Thomas said I if I don't touch 238 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,040 and see for myself, if I don't, I will not believe. 239 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,680 Jesus was not standing there when Thomas said that statement. 240 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:56,280 So what does? But then a week later when Jesus 241 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:01,800 appeared, 8 days later, Jesus answered Thomas word by word. 242 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,320 What does that mean? It means Jesus was listening the 243 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,280 whole time. My car. 244 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,960 No, he's listening the whole time. 245 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,720 Jesus heard Thomas say those words. 246 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,840 Jesus heard the doubt. Jesus heard the struggle. 247 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,120 Jesus heard the pain behind those. 248 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,080 Words. Jesus is listening. 249 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,520 I'm here to tell you that Jesus is listening. 250 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,960 God, Yes, he is us. Come on. 251 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,920 Are you getting this somebody? Yeah. 252 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,720 He heard Thomas, he heard the dog, he heard the struggle, he 253 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,280 heard the pipe. And then Jesus answered him word 254 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,040 for word. And I believe that's a word for 255 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,800 somebody to die. Because maybe you have been 256 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,920 praying for your family. Maybe you've been praying for 257 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,840 healing, for peace, for breakthrough. 258 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,760 Maybe you've been praying for. For your future. 259 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,600 And maybe you've not seen it in the moment yet, but that doesn't 260 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,960 mean God did not hear. Doesn't mean God didn't hear 261 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,200 just because you didn't get the answer quickly. 262 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,520 You see, the enemy wants to twist it and say, well, God's 263 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,720 not listening, but the devil is a liar. 264 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:08,280 Because this story, Thomas, it shows us, it breaks the lie, and 265 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,840 it shows us the truth that Jesus hears everything. 266 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,280 He. God hears everything. 267 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,680 He hears us in our pain, our difficulty hears. 268 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,000 Us Oh, you worked with. Somebody OK, so he heard Thomas 269 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,440 and so he hears you. Jesus is listening. 270 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,880 Somebody say Jesus is listening. Yeah, Jesus is listening. 271 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,360 Yeah, he's listening. You know how people joke about 272 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,720 the phones?

So that's technology mate, if 285 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,440 that can pick up the whisper. How much more your Heavenly 286 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,440 Father can a yellow cry of your heart if the phone, if 287 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,040 technology can, Yeah.

Somebody shout Hallelujah. 302 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,680 Yeah, he. He is you and you know, at the 303 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,440 right time. And I just love that. 304 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:08,520 Yeah. Eight days later. 305 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,520 Yes, Jesus, he's on the scene at the right time. 306 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,480 God knows exactly how to answer you. 307 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:13,840 That. Prayer. 308 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,360 You've been praying about your family, about the relationship, 309 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,400 about the situation. God is ready. 310 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,560 He knows exactly how to answer you and your prayer. 311 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,760 Are you with me, somebody? Yeah. 312 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,480 Nothing can stop Jesus. Nothing can stop it. 313 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,520 If a tomb, a sealed tomb. Hell in the grave, death and 314 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,080 darkness. Or cannot stop him. 315 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:41,160 Nothing can stop him. There's no buryer. 316 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,560 There's no wall. In fact, the Bible says he 317 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,680 walked through the walls. How do you explain? 318 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,680 It when the doors rocked, the disciples are all hiding. 319 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,240 They're all behind shut and closed doors, and you're Jesus. 320 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,200 The Bible doesn't say he walked through the door. 321 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,560 He appeared. Come on, somebody, nothing's 322 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,000 going to be. There's no barrier that can stop 323 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:11,839 Jesus from coming in, OK? And so these are disciples and 324 00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:14,839 so they, they, they saviour has died. 325 00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:17,160 And Friday wasn't just Good Friday, it was, it's quite a 326 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,319 rough Friday because he's gone, he's dead. 327 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,800 He died on the cross. OK, that was hard for them. 328 00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:28,200 And so now they are afraid. So fear shut the door, grief 329 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,720 shut the door, disappointment shut the door. 330 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,880 So they behind closed doors. But what I love about the fact 331 00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:39,120 Jesus came anyway. He came anyway, OK. 332 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,960 And so we all know what shut doors feel like. 333 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,200 It might be emotional, it might be a relationship failure, 334 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,440 relationship breakdown. Now we hurt, so we shut our 335 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,600 hearts. People offend us. 336 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,240 And so then you shut the heart. Maybe you threw a heart or a 337 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,040 difficult situation in your life. 338 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,560 And so in that area of your life, you should be behind 339 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,680 closed doors. Shut doors, shut your heart. 340 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,840 That's what happens. But what I love about Jesus, OK, 341 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,320 the good news is that he knows how to come right in to the 342 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,560 places where we need him most. Jesus knows exactly how to come 343 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,320 into those areas. He knows exactly how to come 344 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,080 into a broken heart. Jesus knows exactly how to come 345 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,760 into a troubled mind. He knows exactly how to come 346 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,920 into your situation. A weary situation may be a 347 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,960 difficult family. He knows exactly how to come in 348 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,320 and intervene. And what I love about the fact 349 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:35,040 when he walked into that room, he just released peace, Shalom. 350 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,080 And he brings peace, and he comes into a broken heart, and 351 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,360 he says be healed. Come on somebody, that's our 352 00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:45,440 listen, saviour. No limitations. 353 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,160 He. Can come and bypass the 354 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,400 situation would right into an emotional mindset situation and 355 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,680 he can bring peace and calmness to your mind. 356 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,120 He can bring stress peace into a stressful situation just like 357 00:18:58,120 --> 00:18:59,400 that. He can calm the storm like that. 358 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,240 Hallelujah. Praise God, Somebody. 359 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,880 Yeah. So when Jesus, he walked into 360 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,160 that room and this is what I love. 361 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,520 He went straight to Thomas. Yeah. 362 00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:14,800 He went straight to the one that's struggling. 363 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,120 He went straight to the one that's doubting Thomas, 364 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,720 Hallelujah. I love that about our God 365 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:26,120 because he's he doesn't move away from struggles. 366 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,280 Disappointment hurts. He doesn't move away from. 367 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,480 He walked towards it, he walks towards the one that's 368 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,520 struggling in the room. Hallelujah, Somebody. 369 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,040 Somebody's getting that Jesus. Doesn't move away. 370 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,800 He moves towards the one that's unsure. 371 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,640 He moves towards the one that's got the questions and that 372 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,240 feels, oh, I'm doubting, I'm not going to believe that Jesus went 373 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,680 straight to it. And I love that about his 374 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,200 Murphy, his mercy. And he moves toward the one 375 00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:57,560 who's saying, Lord, I want to believe, but I'm really 376 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,320 struggling. I don't understand this. 377 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,440 I've got questions about this. I don't know about this, you 378 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,960 see, but Jesus comes in. And there's that encounter and I 379 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,000 love the fact that this count, it changes because that's who he 380 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,640 is. And that's still he's he's 381 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,200 that's what he does today. He comes to every situation, 382 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,960 every one of us that has got a situation and he comes. 383 00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:21,600 Now let me give you another example. 384 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,240 Because this is our God. This is his nature, his love, 385 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,240 his kindness, his mercy. Think about Peter the very next 386 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,720 chapter. When you finish chapter John 20, 387 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,160 the very next chapter, it talks about Peter. 388 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,000 Now, Peter, we know he denied Jesus three times when he 389 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,680 promised that he never would. But. 390 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,280 Then there was pressure, and the pressure was so much that he 391 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,800 failed. And then when the rooster crowd, 392 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,080 he knew exactly what he did. He didn't deny Jesus. 393 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,400 He knew and about. He went out and he wet bitterly. 394 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,000 If there's anybody that I felt disqualified, it had to be 395 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:03,320 Peter. He failed but what I love about 396 00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:04,920 after. The cross. 397 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,600 When Jesus resurrected, come back, King. 398 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,800 He didn't just come back for time. 399 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,080 He came back for the very nature for Peter. 400 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,160 Oh my God, please. I wish I had more time to go 401 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,880 into John 21 how he restore peace because he went. 402 00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:25,640 And the Bible says on resurrection morning, the Angel 403 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,360 didn't just say go tell the disciples. 404 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,720 The Angel said, go tell the disciples. 405 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:38,080 And Peter, No, I love that. Yeah, Heaven named him. 406 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,160 Yeah, heaven named the one that failed. 407 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,440 Heaven named the one that stumbled that. 408 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,560 Denied Jesus three times that messed up heaven named him and 409 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:55,800 called him Oh Hallelujah my God, somebody heaven knew and. 410 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,680 Heaven was saying, listen, we knew Peter, we knew what 411 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,120 happened and we knew how ashamed you must feel, but we still 412 00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:05,800 calling you we. Still calling you? 413 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,960 Oh my God, I'm still calling your name. 414 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,520 OK, that's the gospel. When you fail, God doesn't turn 415 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,840 away from you. Keep this in your spirit today. 416 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,160 When you fail and make a mistake, God doesn't turn away 417 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,600 from you, He writes towards you. How about somebody's going to 418 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,000 get when you fall? When my son, when my children 419 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,840 fall, I don't move away from them, I run to them. 420 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,640 When you fall, when you fail miserably, God writes towards 421 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,920 you with his mercy. That's. 422 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,520 The God that we serve, that's how nature of our God. 423 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,960 He comes running towards you with mercy, Tom. 424 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:47,280 Thomas was doubting Thomas. But listen, he Jesus came back 425 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,880 for him. Thomas doubted, Peter denied. 426 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,800 Jesus came back for both. Look at those powerful examples. 427 00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:01,280 Thomas and Peter, Jesus came back. 428 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,280 So if you came in today and you're thinking, well, I've made 429 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,880 too many mistakes in life, I've messed up too many times, I 430 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,880 could have done better. I should have been further along 431 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,200 by now. I should have been. 432 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,920 I've missed my moment. If that's you, this message is 433 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,600 for you that God is saying I'm still know you, I still know 434 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,240 your name and I'm still coming for you. 435 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,960 I still calling you. Still calling you. 436 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,880 Still calling you? Come on, somebody. 437 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,680 Come on, he's still calling you. He's still coming for you. 438 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,200 He's. Still coming, Maybe you feel 439 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,560 unsure, difficult and struggles, but He's still coming for you. 440 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,720 He still comes for you. So don't let the enemy lie. 441 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,600 Don't let the enemy come with distractions. 442 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,840 Don't let the enemy tell you well, you know, when you make a 443 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,200 mistake, God turns away from you. 444 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,600 Don't believe the lies of the enemy, OK? 445 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,400 Because there's no problem or struggle or fail. 446 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,800 The struggle does not repel Jesus. 447 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,080 Come on, somebody doesn't repel Jesus. 448 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,840 It doesn't mean now because you struggle, OK, Now he loves you 449 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:09,280 less because he loves you less. No, they trolls. 450 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,040 That's what happened. You can see from scripture how 451 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,840 he drew the the mercy of God. Jesus will appear in that room. 452 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,960 OK, immediately, right there, Jesus walked to Thomas. 453 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:24,400 Are. You with me? 454 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,520 Somebody can we move the camera to the back brother, please. 455 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,880 It's distracting people. Thank you. 456 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:37,560 So what I'm saying here is his heart and his nature, the nature 457 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,760 of God. That's what we I want you to 458 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,320 grab hold of this picture that there is Thomas. 459 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,880 He's struggling. He's unsure, but Jesus come 460 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,320 wrought to him. Are you grabbing hold of us? 461 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,520 That's that's the proof. Thomas is the proof. 462 00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:01,600 Romans chapter 2 talks about the goodness of God, not the 463 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,520 condemnation. Jesus did not point the finger 464 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,880 to Thomas. Thomas, why didn't you turn up 465 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:08,400 the phone? Why? 466 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,520 Where were you? Jesus never point the finger. 467 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,200 Romans 2 verse what the Bible says. 468 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,880 It's the goodness of God that leads to repentance. 469 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,560 It's a love, the kindness of God. 470 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,920 God comes as very kind. Many times it's been portrayed 471 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,880 God has been misrepresented by religion. 472 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,880 That is an angry God. No, the Bible does not say that. 473 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,480 The Bible says it's the goodness of God the loving Father. 474 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,080 That. Leads to repentance. 475 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,640 That's what little Peter the goodness, the kindness, the love 476 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,840 of we see this Jesus comes back every time, restores Peter. 477 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,720 We know you fell three times, Thomas, let's restore you. 478 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,560 It's the goodness of God that brings change. 479 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,640 It's the kindness of God. That's when everything changes. 480 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,480 It's an encounter with Jesus, the goodness of Jesus with his 481 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,040 love. Amen. 482 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:05,680 And so finally, what I love when Jeff, yes, Thomas, and when he 483 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:10,800 finally encountered the the living Jesus, he made one of the 484 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:16,240 highest, most powerful, greatest declarations in all of the 485 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:21,640 Bible. Thomas answered, my Lord and my 486 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:29,640 God, Jeez, my Lord, Thomas, I said to him, my Lord, my God, 487 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,440 what a change. Everything shifted. 488 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,200 One moment when he encountered the real Jesus. 489 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,800 That's kind. That's loving. 490 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:42,280 The resurrected King Jesus. And so Thomas shifted from doubt 491 00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:50,000 to trust, from hesitation to surrender from questions. 492 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:56,800 To worship from I am not believing, I am doubting. 493 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:02,680 I've got questions to Oh my Lord my God, what a change, what a 494 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:08,280 ship, what a turn it on. Everything takes 1 moment, one 495 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,480 encounter. Hallelujah. 496 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,720 Hallelujah, I love that. And so, yeah, he's 3 labeled him 497 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,440 doubting Thomas throughout the years, labeled and called him 498 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,000 doubting Thomas. But the goodness of God saw 499 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,880 something better. The goodness and the love and 500 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,440 the grace of God saw a better future. 501 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,080 Someone who carried the gospel forward. 502 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,600 And he did. Of all the disciples, he carried 503 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,600 the gospel all the way to India. Thank you. 504 00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:37,640 Yeah. Of all the what? 505 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,920 A turn around from doubting to trusting to taking the gospel 506 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,960 all the way to India with one encounter with the risen Savior 507 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,360 Jesus. Not condemning, not pointing, 508 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:55,200 but giving him grace. Oh, I love that trusting Thomas. 509 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,480 And you know, that's let's why don't we just call him, you 510 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,320 know, instead of doubting Thomas, why don't we just call 511 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,640 him trusting Thomas? Yeah. 512 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,600 I mean, I mean, why don't we just call him? 513 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,040 Do you think it if we just call him instead of we calling him 514 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,720 doubting, let's call him trusting Thomas, forgiven 515 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,280 Thomas, restore Thomas, and we put and we call him the way that 516 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,120 grace and God's goodness sees him. 517 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,120 Yeah. Because he had a personal 518 00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:23,880 counter. He had a God moment. 519 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,840 I love that. A God moment. 520 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,800 And this is what happens when Jesus makes himself real to you. 521 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:36,480 We shift from doubting to trusting when we encountered the 522 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,600 real Jesus. Everything shifts in our lives 523 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,000 and we become full, full of trust. 524 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,880 And that is how a God moment works. 525 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,400 Now let me let me just show you another God moment because we 526 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,920 see this God moment as well on the cross when Jesus Christ and 527 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,800 Jesus said my God, my God. And I love the way that heaven 528 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,400 responded. The Bible says that the curtain 529 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:07,680 in the temple, the veil was torn in two and it says from top to 530 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,840 bottom. I love that because it was told 531 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:15,080 from top to bottom, not, not bottom top, not people reaching 532 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:20,240 or trying harder or performing for God, not not religion 533 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,680 reaching up to God, but from top to bottom, meaning that God did 534 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,600 it. Yeah, where people, OK, could 535 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:35,760 never fix, God fixed it. Come on, somebody religion could 536 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:41,440 never solve, but God solved me. Yeah, Sin could never send more 537 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,640 separation. But grace opened the way for us. 538 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,560 And so that's all that vile that was torn open doesn't mean for 539 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,640 God to come out-of-the-box. It means for us to go in. 540 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,400 So we can now come boldly. We can now come personally and 541 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,320 freely. We can come to power freely. 542 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,080 We don't have to earn it. We. 543 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,120 Don't have to try and perform and get everything perfect. 544 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,680 We can come to God every day in the kitchen, in the living room, 545 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,360 in the car, wherever we are. Every moment He's hoping Jesus 546 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,040 made the way he's open. Somebody come on. 547 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:16,760 Hallelujah. Yeah. 548 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,160 And you know, Mark 15, when you read there, there's some of the 549 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,920 people standing there at the distance from the cross, But 550 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,760 they said, well, Jesus was calling for Elijah, but they 551 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,840 added the backwards that he wasn't calling for Elijah. 552 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:34,880 The Bible says he cried Eloy. Now Eloy, it means not Elijah 553 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,080 because they were standing from a distance, they misheard what 554 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,840 he said. He would say Eloy meaning my 555 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:45,240 God, that's what Jesus cried out. 556 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,760 And they thought that it's Elijah's not Elijah now, because 557 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:54,080 when you look at Elijah's story, you'll actually see that Elijah 558 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,600 was pointing to something great. Elijah's story when we're going 559 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,240 to go down and it's actually points us to something great to 560 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:05,560 Christ because Elijah's story if you actually go the first 561 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,880 resurrection in the Bible was the first king 17 first 562 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:14,600 resurrection. So if we look at that, OK, but I 563 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,840 want to say this because Jesus was crying out my God, my God, 564 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,160 not Elijah was not the answer. Elijah pointed to Christ now he 565 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,040 says the first in first king 17 remember when when Elijah stood 566 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,560 over at the dead boy, he stretched himself over the dead 567 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,400 boy in first king and now I want you to see this because over and 568 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,040 over throughout the Bible principle of we every time I 569 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:40,720 love it, we see how my God, there's a my God moment, how 570 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:45,200 people cry out my God, my Lord Thomas, my Lord, my now yet his 571 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,920 first king. He straights himself out on the 572 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:51,560 boy three times. Cry out the Lord, my God, let 573 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,720 this boy's life return to him. So that was a powerful miracle. 574 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,840 And it was a. Powerful picture of how that was 575 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,960 pointing to something greater to Christ. 576 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,840 And then so Elijah stretched himself over a dead point, but 577 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,280 Jesus stretched himself for the whole world. 578 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,360 Hallelujah. Come on. 579 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,760 Yeah, that's what it is. And so Elijah saw life come back 580 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,080 to one boy. But Jesus that rose from the 581 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,240 grave, whoever believes in him receives life. 582 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,560 OK. And so that's the beauty of a 583 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,200 scripture, because the Old Testament is full of shadows and 584 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,760 patterns that points us to Christ, to something writer to 585 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,480 the New Testament, Amen, points us to Jesus. 586 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,760 And the good news is, the same God who heard then is the same 587 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,800 God who he is now. He's the same God who years the 588 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,520 heart of your cry in your situation. 589 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,080 And is the still the same God who brings life in dead places, 590 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,960 who brings life in dead marriages, in dead finances, in 591 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,680 dead relationships. He still brings life. 592 00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,760 In. Whatever situation that the dead 593 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,840 bone, it becomes alive in the presence of God. 594 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,600 He still brings life, He still restores, He still heals. 595 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,840 Jesus still saves today. Hallelujah. 596 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,160 It all leads to Jesus. Can you say, I mean somebody? 597 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:16,920 And so sometimes the challenge is this is that Friday did not 598 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,800 look very good. The cross did not look like a 599 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,440 victory, OK? The cross blood, it looked like 600 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,960 the end. It looked like lost, that it was 601 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,880 silence, evils winning, OK? It looked really hard and they 602 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,720 like lost. And so Friday looked like the 603 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,080 end. But what looked like the end was 604 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,680 not the end, OK? Heaven was still moving the. 605 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,120 Victory was still happening, Jesus was still coming for, and 606 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,640 that is what Easter teaches us. Even though Friday was hard and 607 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,240 difficult, but Sunday is Easter. Sunday is the good news. 608 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,880 That's the full story. So. 609 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,360 We cannot just stop on the Friday. 610 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,600 We have to look at the full picture. 611 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,840 We have to come to get on a Easter Sunday and celebrate that 612 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,680 there is more to than just the Friday. 613 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,880 This Sunday's coming. Guess. 614 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,400 It's Friday's hard, difficult disappointment, but Sunday's 615 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,199 coming. Yeah, Yeah. 616 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,880 And So what it teaches us, don't make a final decision in the 617 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,000 middle of the story, but look at the full picture. 618 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:25,080 Look at what's what's happened on this Sunday, OK? 619 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,360 Because a lot of people, they stopped on Friday. 620 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,800 They stopped on the disappointment, the pain, the 621 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,480 hardship, and they thought that it's over. 622 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,560 It's like picking up somebody picking up a newspaper and they 623 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,360 just read part of the headline because the the page is folded, 624 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,199 but you can only read half of the headline. 625 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,360 Football team loses. Oh, and the heart sink. 626 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,600 Football team loses. And it's like you feel like, oh, 627 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,199 no, it's over. It's the end. 628 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:58,240 But that's only half the story. That's only the the moment you 629 00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:01,880 unfold the newspaper and you can read the full story. 630 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,920 Football team loses half time, but then wins the championships 631 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,840 in extra time. That's Sunday morning. 632 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,440 That's Resurrection Sunday, Easter Sunday. 633 00:35:13,720 --> 00:35:15,600 That's the full. So the problem was not the 634 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,720 story. The problem was that we didn't 635 00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:21,760 see the full picture. So he doesn't just stop on the 636 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,800 Friday and listen, we've got to celebrate the Sunday of the 637 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,840 resurrection of Jesus Christ, that he's alive, that he believe 638 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,160 that he's alive. OK, now Sunday shows us the full 639 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,280 picture and the full picture is Friday. 640 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,520 Jesus was not defeated. The full picture is sin was 641 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,960 defeated, hell in the grave was defeated, darkness was defeated, 642 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,560 shame and fear was defeated, the grave was defeated and said the 643 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,240 enemy was defeated. I love that song. 644 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:57,080 The enemy has been defeated. Dave couldn't hold you down. 645 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:02,320 We kind of lift our poison victory make our praises loud so 646 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,840 the enemy has been defeated and I want to show you something 647 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,240 here in Colossians chapter 215 having this on principalities 648 00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:11,000 and powers. He made a public spectacle of 649 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:16,800 them triumphing over them and and So what looked like it was 650 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,680 dangerous has been defeated. It's like walking down a path in 651 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,720 the woods and there's a snake stretched out. 652 00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:28,040 And so you, like, jump back and think this is a fridge. 653 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,240 And you're like, oh, what's this doing? 654 00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:33,040 And it looks dangerous and all until you realize the snake's 655 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,760 dead. OK Now. 656 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,120 Yeah. You chop and you fix it. 657 00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:38,960 But you look at you realize it's dead. 658 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,560 Now, it may look dangerous. The snake may look intimidating, 659 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,760 Right? And it may look that it can stop 660 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,480 you. But the head has already been 661 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,200 crushed. Yeah. 662 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:54,760 That's what Easter did. To fear, to shame, to regret. 663 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,160 OK, to hell in the grave. And so yeah, they may make a 664 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:03,160 noise, they may try to scare you, but Jesus has already 665 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,040 crushed their power. So don't let the dead snake stop 666 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,720 your purpose. Don't. 667 00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:12,040 Let the dead snake intimidate and stop your destiny. 668 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,960 OK? Because sickness does not have 669 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,200 the final word. Set back does not have the final 670 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,520 word. Failures does not have the 671 00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:21,640 mistakes don't have the final word. 672 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,240 They don't have the final word. Come on, somebody. 673 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:30,800 Sunday morning proved it. Sunday morning proved that God 674 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,800 has got the final word. Oh my goodness. 675 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,000 Friday was bad, but suddenly came and Jesus rose up and it 676 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,840 defeated every devil and every demon, every hall in the grave. 677 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,760 OK, so that disappoint doesn't have the final say. 678 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:50,120 God has because the Saviour got up, and because he because he 679 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,360 got up, you can get up. The resurrected King is 680 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,360 resurrecting you because he got up. 681 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,360 You can get up in. Your marriage, in your home, in 682 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,880 your work. Because he got up. 683 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,560 You can get up, Hallelujah. You can get up and you can live 684 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,120 again. You can get up and you can 685 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,560 believe again. You can get up and you can dream 686 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,760 again. You can get up, Hallelujah, 687 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,440 somebody say because he got up, I can get up. 688 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,960 The resurrected king is resurrecting me. 689 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,520 Hallelujah. Romans 8 verse 11 says the same 690 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:29,800 Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead lived in you. 691 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,080 Think about that. The same power, all that 692 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:38,840 conquered the grave, the same power that rolled the stone 693 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:43,480 away, the same power that defeated the enemy. 694 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:48,040 That same power lives in you. It lives in you. 695 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,760 That same power that got him out of that tray, that got him out 696 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,760 of that tomb and lives in you. You are full of resurrection 697 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,320 power. That voltage, that electricity, 698 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,720 that same power, if it now has thousand voltages or a million 699 00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:07,560 voltages that the Holy Spirit used to resurrect Jesus Christ, 700 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,560 that same voltage, power, electricity, He's on the inside 701 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,640 of you. Resurrection power is living in 702 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,120 you. You are not weak. 703 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,800 Somebody, come on.

I feel the glory of God in this 708 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,800 place. Hallelujah. 709 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,560 Somebody shot resurrection power. 710 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,320 If death could not hold him, that problem cannot hold you. 711 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,280 If the great could not keep him, that obstacle cannot keep you. 712 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,560 Come on, somebody. Come on. 713 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,040 Somebody. That enemy. 714 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,240 If the enemy could not hold him back, no depression can hold you 715 00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:05,680 back. No devil in hell can hold you 716 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,160 back. He couldn't hold it back. 717 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:14,200 He cannot hold you back. Darkness, that same darkness 718 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,160 could not hold him back. So whatever's coming against you 719 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,440 cannot stop your destiny. It cannot stop your calling. 720 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,920 It cannot stop your family. It cannot stop your life. 721 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,200 Oh, Hallelujah.

It could not hold it back. 724 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,640 It will not hold you back. I see somebody's coming loose. 725 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,880 Somebody's turning free. Chains are falling off. 726 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,920 God is resurrecting His body, which is His church. 727 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,440 The church is the body of Jesus Christ. 728 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,480 Just like Jesus came out of that grave, the church is coming. 729 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,800 Out. Whoa, the church is coming out. 730 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,360 It's time for the church to come out of the closet. 731 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,920 Not skeletons come out of the closet. 732 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,280 Christ, come out of the closet.

Glory of God is in this place. 735 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,720 Your life will never be the same again because the Bible says, 736 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:22,200 oh, Dave, where is your sting? Yeah, and a honeybee can stink. 737 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,600 Yeah, a honeybee can stink. But once it leaves its Stinger 738 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,320 once it cannot use it again. Oh my God, somebody's getting 739 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,280 this. Once the honey bees. 740 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:35,720 Left his feet. Cannot use it again. 741 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,440 Yeah, cannot. That's a picture of Calvary. 742 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,840 Death made his move from Calvary. 743 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,640 Death came to the cross on Calvary. 744 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,960 But Jesus on the third day rose and he took this thing out. 745 00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:54,800 Hey, he cancelled that. He took this thing out of death. 746 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,120 Oh Dave, where is your stick? Where is your victory? 747 00:41:58,240 --> 00:42:01,840 Because Jesus loves the Saviour of the world, President, Saviour 748 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,200 Jesus Christ.

So in closing, let's wrap this 751 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,680 up and bring this full circle. This is your international. 752 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:23,960 Everything shines with a personal my God moment, a my God 753 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,480 moment, Saying this is the thing of Thomas. 754 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:32,600 Thomas didn't stay just what he heard about Jesus. 755 00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:37,040 He said it when there's disciples coming, said listen, 756 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,440 Jesus is listening. I want my own encounter. 757 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,160 Oh, somebody's getting this. I want money. 758 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:46,960 I don't just want to go by what I heard. 759 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,520 Yes, your disciples you saw, but I haven't seen you. 760 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,160 I haven't had my encounter. I was not there. 761 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:57,040 So Thomas did not stay. I just heard about Jesus. 762 00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,760 He's like, I want my own personal my God moment. 763 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,000 That's what I want. And the moment he had that 764 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:10,080 encounter, everything changed. Everything shifted and he 765 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:15,600 answered my Lord, my God. Now he didn't say he is Lord. 766 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:21,920 He didn't just say he is Lord. He said, my Lord, he didn't just 767 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,400 say, oh, he is the God because there's a lot of the city. 768 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:25,320 Oh yeah, he's God. He's God. 769 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,120 No, but he's, he made it personal. 770 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,880 He's my God. This. 771 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,920 Is the moment everything changed Judge where Easter becomes 772 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,800 personal? Where? 773 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:41,880 It becomes personal a 101 a personal a my God encounter, my 774 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:47,440 Lord my God, everything changes. And when Jesus is no longer just 775 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:52,520 the God that you heard about. 'Cause I grew up and I heard a 776 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:58,040 lot about God for many years, but it's how I counted him for 777 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:02,440 myself. My Lord, my God, a personal no 778 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,840 longer just heard about Jesus heard that he's but now I've 779 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,560 encountered he met him for himself. 780 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,920 He had that encounter where Jesus made himself real. 781 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:17,200 And that's the good news today that I believe that today is the 782 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,240 day. This can be the moment your my 783 00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:25,760 God moment that encounter moments, that turning point that 784 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,840 can turn everything around and it's a fresh start. 785 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,200 Everything changes. I really believe that God has 786 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,000 sent me it to release this virtue, that this can be your my 787 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,040 God moment. Let's all start together. 788 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,160 Hallelujah. Praise God. 789 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,760 I believe that you are not just here by accident. 790 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:46,880 This is not just Easter on calendar. 791 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,000 This is a moment with God. This is a holy moment. 792 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,960 And the same Jesus who encountered Thomas is here, the 793 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:58,240 same Jesus who called Peter, who calls him by his name, who 794 00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:01,280 restored him, who forgave him.
