1 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,680 You're very welcome to today's Triumph Church podcast. 2 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,440 We pray that you enjoy the message, but. 3 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,760 What's interesting and amazing about the time that we live in 4 00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:24,840 is we probably have more information available to us than 5 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,640 at any other time in history. Like it's so easy to to go 6 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,560 online. We have, we have the Internet. 7 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,440 Like you don't even need to go to the library really anymore. 8 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,400 When I was growing up, you know, if you wanted to read a book or 9 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,040 something or get some information, you had to go to 10 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,600 the library where these books were, where the encyclopedias 11 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,080 were. You couldn't just go online. 12 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,600 Now I can just pick up my phone and I can get much more 13 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,760 information than I ever could at the library. 14 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,760 It's so easy to get information now, isn't it? 15 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,800 There's all sermons on YouTube or different formats online. 16 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,680 There's all these podcasts, there's Christian teaching 17 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,800 that's so easily accessible. We have probably all of us here, 18 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,680 you know, probably have a Bible app like on our phone or on our 19 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,160 tablet or on our computer or something where we can just 20 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,600 access Scripture and so many different versions. 21 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,040 I remember years ago, before the Internet, you know, if I were, 22 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,000 if I were to study, you know, I'd have to put, you know, like 23 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,040 the new King James Version Bible. 24 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,600 I'd actually have to open up the book, you know, of the new King 25 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,640 James Version or the, the new living translation, the 26 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,000 amplified, you know, So I'd, I'd have like all these different 27 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,120 Bibles, you know, like on my desk or, or on my bed, wherever 28 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,240 it was that I was, where I was studying. 29 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,680 Now it's so amazing. I can just, you know, tap on a 30 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,360 Scripture and hit compare, and it brings up all these different 31 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:57,320 versions of Scripture. Like how amazing that we have 32 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,440 access to all of these things, right? 33 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:08,280 And yet many believers still do not realize God's will or who 34 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,320 they are in Christ. It's amazing. 35 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,480 And the problem really isn't a lack of teaching. 36 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,800 Like we have that in abundance. Like, there is no lack of 37 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,120 teaching out there at all. The real problem is a lack of 38 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,920 revelation. Revelation of Scripture is what 39 00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:31,920 puts us over the top. And in his letter to the 40 00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:36,160 Ephesians church, Paul is writing to believers who are 41 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,960 already saved. They're already faithful. 42 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,560 They're already growing. And yet when he prays for them, 43 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,280 he prays that their eyes would be open. 44 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,480 Well, they're already believers. He's still praying that their 45 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,440 eyes will be open. So let's read Ephesians chapter 46 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:58,200 one verse 15 through 18 here Paul says, therefore I also 47 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,240 after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for 48 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,800 all the Saints do not cease to give thanks for you making 49 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,600 mention of you in my prayers in verse 17 that the God of our 50 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:15,160 Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory may give to you the spirit 51 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:20,000 of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him in verse 18 52 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,200 that the eyes of your understanding being enlightened 53 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,680 that you may know what is the hope of his calling and what are 54 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,040 the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the Saints. 55 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,480 Wow, that's a lot, isn't it? That's really cool. 56 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,720 And that's only part of the prayer. 57 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,920 We're going to focus on the rest of the prayer next week. 58 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,960 But what Paul prays here is, is massive, and we're going to see 59 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,160 why this morning. Paul prays this prayer because 60 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,840 he understands something that's very crucial, that if believers 61 00:03:53,840 --> 00:04:00,640 truly see who God is, all right, and they see who they are in 62 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,800 Christ and what Christ has purchased for them, then 63 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,760 everything begins to change in their life. 64 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,080 But they need to know who God is and who they are in Christ. 65 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,800 And Ephesians chapter one, verse 15 through 23, that's the whole 66 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,079 prayer there. It's not a casual prayer, like 67 00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:25,240 there's so much depth to that. It's the apostle Paul praying 68 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,320 through the Holy Spirit. And this morning we're going to 69 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,000 be examining just the verses 15 to 18. 70 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,120 And next Sunday we'll be examining verses 18 through 71 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,640 through 23. And these are the two areas this 72 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:38,760 morning we're going to be looking at. 73 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,400 First one is spiritual wisdom and revelation, and then the 74 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,360 second one is the eyes of your heart being enlightened. 75 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,000 All right, so we'll look at the first point. 76 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,160 In the spirit of wisdom and revelation, true Christianity is 77 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,720 revealed. It's not something that's 78 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,480 intellectual that you can just understand because it's not 79 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,640 about intellectualism, it's spiritual. 80 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,040 The Bible says that God's word, that Jesus is the Word, that 81 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,600 those who seek him must, must seek him in spirit and truth. 82 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,960 God's Word is something that is revealed to us spiritually, not 83 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,680 by, not by our heads. In Ephesians chapter one, verse 84 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,560 17, this is what Paul prays. Let the God of our Lord Jesus 85 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,600 Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom 86 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,840 and revelation in the knowledge of him. 87 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,760 And there's so many things that the apostle Paul could be 88 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,440 praying for the church, right? Like most churches back then, 89 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,400 they were under persecution. You know, the churches were 90 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,720 happening in communities where idolatry was was run rampant 91 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,560 there. There were, you know, massive 92 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,440 temples and things where other other gods were being being 93 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,560 worshipped. And there is heavy persecution 94 00:05:56,840 --> 00:05:58,320 for the church. There's a lot of things the 95 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,520 Apostle Paul could have been praying for them, right? 96 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,960 For protection, for provision, for all these different things. 97 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,520 But what is it that the apostle Paul was praying for them? 98 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,760 That God would give them the spirit of wisdom and revelation 99 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,520 and the knowledge of him? Well, why? 100 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,640 It's because those things when we understand what God has for 101 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,680 us, who God is, who we are in Christ, like we start to look at 102 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,240 those situations. We look at that persecution 103 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,640 differently. We look at the, the protection 104 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,400 that we may need differently. We, we look at the provision, 105 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,800 like everything in our life, we start to look at that 106 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,160 differently. We stop looking at it from these 107 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,160 natural eyes, right, and thinking about things from this 108 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,480 natural brain. And we start looking at things 109 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,600 spiritually through God's eyes, how see he sees them, his 110 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,400 perspective. And that's really important. 111 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,080 So the apostle Paul is praying for spiritual wisdom and 112 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,680 revelation in the knowledge of God. 113 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:07,320 Without spiritual wisdom in Revelation, Christianity is 114 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,400 really just another lifeless religion, people trying to find 115 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,120 their way to God through their own understanding, through their 116 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,560 own works, through their own ability. 117 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,720 But when we understand what Christianity really is, that 118 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,040 everything is through Christ, Jesus said I am the way and the 119 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,640 truth and the life, that no one goes to God except through me. 120 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,680 When we understand that our entire life, like this whole 121 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,600 thing, our salvation, our belief, like everything this 122 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:40,280 church is founded upon, is founded upon through Christ, Not 123 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,720 through anyone else, not through me, not through Pastor Amy, not 124 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,000 through you, through Christ. Everything that we have is 125 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000 through Christ. Because of Christ, not because 126 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,400 of anything that we can do, anything that we hope to do 127 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,080 today, tomorrow, yesterday, we are incapable. 128 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:07,360 But Christ, He has given us all things, all things that pertain 129 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,480 to this life that we need an abundance of provision, 130 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,640 spiritual wisdom, and revelation. 131 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,240 This isn't something a a person can simply acquire on their own, 132 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,200 right? There's been many people that 133 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,560 have read the Bible from from cover to cover, but they never 134 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,600 acquire any spiritual wisdom or revelation in God. 135 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,039 Well, why is that? Because it's not something that 136 00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:36,640 can be understood or digested naturally by your reasoning, by 137 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,600 your intellect. I've had some amazing 138 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,799 conversations with people that are way smarter than I am, but 139 00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:50,160 they have no idea, no spiritual wisdom, no revelation of who God 140 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,440 is and who they are in Christ because you can't understand 141 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,240 those things with your head. You can reason those things and 142 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,200 it's a good place to to start. You know, when, when, when you 143 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,760 preach the gospel to someone, what happens? 144 00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:08,640 You preach the gospel with them and, and they may begin to, to 145 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,840 try to, to reason and rationalize things in their 146 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,720 head. But but really, the, the cross, 147 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,200 the Bible says is foolishness to mankind, right? 148 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,680 It does not make sense for God to step down from heaven, be 149 00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:26,520 born as a little baby and then grow up, right? 150 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,800 And then sacrifice his life for humanity. 151 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,760 Like that just doesn't compute to people, to people of great 152 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,840 intellect. Like go have a conversation, you 153 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,880 know, with the philosophy professor at a, at a university, 154 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,640 right? Things just don't compute with 155 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,160 our natural mind. But it's not something that, 156 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,480 that you can understand naturally because it's something 157 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,600 that happened spiritually. And when you share the gospel 158 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,840 with someone, what's going on? The, the, the Holy Spirit is 159 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,000 bringing conviction, not condemnation, but conviction to 160 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,920 their heart for their sin to bring them to a point of, of 161 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,240 repentance, right? He's trying to bring spiritual 162 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,840 understanding, spiritual wisdom and revelation to them so that 163 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,360 then they can make a decision on whether they want to give their 164 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:22,920 life to Christ or reject him. In Matthew chapter 16, Jesus had 165 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,080 asked his disciples who people said that he was and many people 166 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,400 say that they thought he was a prophet, right? 167 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,200 They recognize him. While this is this, this guy is, 168 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,320 is not a normal individual in in the sense that he's his teaching 169 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,800 is absolutely mind blowing, right? 170 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,680 He's performing miracles like people are being healed. 171 00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:48,000 Like there's something unusual about this about this 172 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,440 individual. So maybe he's a a prophet. 173 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,400 They said that he was a maybe a great teacher, maybe even like 174 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,280 the prophet Elijah or Jeremiah, like reincarnated. 175 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,080 That's kind of weird, right? But they didn't know like they 176 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,720 just never had encountered another individual like this at 177 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,520 all. But then Jesus asked the 178 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:14,800 disciples who they thought that he was in Matthew chapter 16 and 179 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,080 verse 16 says Simon Peter answered and said, you are the 180 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,680 Christ, the Son of the living God. 181 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,200 Wow Peter, where'd you come up with that one? 182 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,720 Now that's an amazing idea. And here it is. 183 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:37,800 Spiritual wisdom in Revelation. Jesus responds by saying this to 184 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:43,120 Peter in verse 17, Matthew 1617. Jesus answered and said to him, 185 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:49,040 Blessed are you Simon Barjona, for flesh and blood has not 186 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:54,040 revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 187 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,880 So God revealed this to Peter. Everyone else is, is trying to 188 00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:03,240 trying to rationalize things in their head and come up with I 189 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,560 need to fit Jesus in some kind of box. 190 00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:08,200 So what kind of box can I fit him in? 191 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,280 The problem is, is that you have someone like Jesus. 192 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,560 There is no box that he can fit in except for the box of He is 193 00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:19,240 Christ. Christ means the anointed one. 194 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:24,200 When we say Jesus Christ, we're saying Jesus the anointed. 1 So 195 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,640 Peter, God reveals to him that this is Christ the anointed one 196 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,520 that God had been talking about all throughout the whole Old 197 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,440 Testament, prophesying about his coming. 198 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,680 And Jesus said, well, you couldn't have come up with that 199 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,080 on your own. That's only something that that 200 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,080 you could know if God revealed that to you. 201 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,520 That's a spirit of revelation, knowledge of him, right? 202 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,920 So what Paul is praying for the believers in in Ephesus church 203 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,760 is that God would reveal to them what only God can reveal. 204 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,640 Because how many of you have, have read the Bible and you're 205 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:07,920 like, I, I don't understand what it is that I'm reading like at 206 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,920 different times. Like that's what all of us have 207 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,360 the thought of, right? I still have that thought 208 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,360 sometimes. What is it, Lord, that I'm even 209 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,920 reading here? Like can you give me some, some 210 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,040 spiritual wisdom and revelation on what it is that you're 211 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,480 talking about here? So that I can have some 212 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,640 revelation about it, so I can have some wisdom in it, so then 213 00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:32,720 I can begin to walk in it? Because if I don't understand 214 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,760 it, like I can't walk in it, can I? 215 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,280 I can try the best I can, but then I'm just doing it in my 216 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,880 ability, right? But when I have spiritual 217 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,200 wisdom, when I have spiritual revelation, when God has 218 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:55,320 revealed that to me, it drops from this my head down to my my 219 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,800 heart and it becomes revelation. And it's like a light turns on 220 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,200 and it's like, oh, that is so good. 221 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,680 I can begin to walk in that. And when you begin to walk in 222 00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:11,320 that, because you have spiritual wisdom and revelation, that's 223 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,640 when things begin to change in your life. 224 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,600 That's where those dominoes start to fall, right? 225 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,760 And you get that first domino begin to fall. 226 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,680 Then what happens with everything after? 227 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,760 You just start getting more and more wisdom. 228 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,960 And in revelation, you know, there's sometimes where, you 229 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,920 know, there's these giant, what are they called? 230 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,200 Woot sits. I I think that's what they're 231 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,320 called. You know, they're they're like 232 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,600 these these big puffy cheese snacks, right? 233 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,880 They're like this this big. You can get like a big bag of 234 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,680 them. Walkers makes them right? 235 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,360 They're like Cheetos, but they're like puffy. 236 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,720 Anyways, I open up a bag of those, you know, and before I 237 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,080 know it, like I can't just eat one right? 238 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,000 Like I get a handful of them and I can't just eat that handful. 239 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,200 Before I know it, that entire bag is gone. 240 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,040 I'm like, how many calories is that that I just ate right? 241 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,400 But I couldn't I couldn't get enough. 242 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,120 I don't know what it is. They're just addictive. 243 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,560 Maybe it's something they put in them. 244 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,240 Maybe it's just me. I have a weakness for those. 245 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,560 I don't know what it is, but I can't stop. 246 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,280 And I'm thankful actually that I got to the end of the bag right. 247 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,240 There's just no more in there. Otherwise I don't know what 248 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,080 would happen. Like if they had like a big 249 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,280 family size, I'd probably devour all of that too. 250 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,840 I can't just eat one. But when we have that spiritual 251 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,720 wisdom in Revelation and you start getting that from the 252 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,640 Lord, like you just want more. That was absolutely amazing, 253 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,160 Lord. Like, what's next? 254 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,440 Like what can you, what can you show me next about who you are 255 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,480 and who I am in Christ? Because once we start walking in 256 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,440 those things and we start seeing God, God move in our life, when 257 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,800 it becomes revelation to us, we we start to become kind of 258 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,720 addicted. You want more of God. 259 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,560 You want more of, of his wisdom and revelation. 260 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,880 But what's interesting is God doesn't file dump. 261 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,120 You know what I mean by that? Where he just, he doesn't give 262 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,080 you like the full spiritual wisdom and revelation of every 263 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,200 single thing in this Bible because we won't be able to 264 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:26,040 handle it like we can hardly handle the, the spiritual wisdom 265 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,280 and revelation that we have now. He gives us what we need a step 266 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:35,400 at a time, right When you take that, that step on that 267 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,640 spiritual wisdom and revelation that he's given you, when you 268 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,920 begin to walk in that, what does he do? 269 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,600 You take another step, and then he starts to reveal more things 270 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,240 to you and you begin to walk through that in that. 271 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,320 And then you take another step and he reveals more to you. 272 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,040 He's not going to give you more than what you're capable of 273 00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:00,520 walking in at one time. You've got to keep walking for. 274 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,800 And as you do that, as you keep pressing forward in Christ, he's 275 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:10,440 going to start revealing more and more of His word to you. 276 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,160 You know, the Bible says in James, James says that when we 277 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,680 draw close to God, he draws close to us. 278 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,040 That needs to be what we're seeking to do every single day 279 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,520 because in that place where we're where we're close to God, 280 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,200 when we draw close to God, he draws close to us in that, in 281 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:36,960 that place of, of intimacy, of relationship with God, that's 282 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,120 the place where he reveals these things to you. 283 00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:44,440 If you're not drawing close to God, what do you expect that 284 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,760 he's going to be revealing to you and showing you, right? 285 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:55,520 When you draw close to God, He's going to draw close to you, and 286 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,280 in that place, in that place of intimacy and relationship, 287 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,240 that's where He gives you all of these things in His word, the 288 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:08,120 Spirit of wisdom and revelation. That's one side of the coin, 289 00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:10,200 right? Drawing close to God, the other 290 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,480 side of the coin. Jesus said this to His disciples 291 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,960 in Matthew Chapter 7 and verse 6. 292 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,000 And this part's not so pleasant, but Jesus said in Matthew 293 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,280 Chapter 7 and verse 6, He said, do not give what is holy to the 294 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:29,400 dogs, nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample 295 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,240 them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces. 296 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,520 What is Jesus talking about there? 297 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,200 Like, does that sound nice to you? 298 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,520 I can't believe Jesus would say something like that. 299 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,240 I thought he was the nicest guy in the world and that everything 300 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,680 was just love and just, well, this is right. 301 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,240 Jesus was telling his disciples not to share with others the 302 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,920 treasured word that he's been sharing with them, with those 303 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:02,000 people who don't value it, who don't value it, they don't care. 304 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,160 You can share them. You know what's different things 305 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,800 that the Lord has revealed to you? 306 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:12,320 Spiritual wisdom and revelation about his word that you have a 307 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,880 revelation of your of in your life, right? 308 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,280 And you start sharing that with someone else and it's just like 309 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,520 they just don't get it. They don't even care to get it. 310 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,000 Sometimes people even say, well, I don't, you know, why are you 311 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,960 talking to me about that? I don't want to hear that. 312 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,360 You know, I don't want to hear your religion or your thoughts 313 00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:32,480 or whatever about your God, right? 314 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,760 It's spiritual wisdom and revelation to you, but not to 315 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,440 them. You're sharing things with 316 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:44,080 people who they don't value the word like you do. 317 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:49,480 And so sometimes you get a response that's not really nice, 318 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,000 right? Doesn't make you feel good. 319 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,440 I really wish that that they'd listen because I know the word 320 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,160 would change their life. Sometimes people just aren't in 321 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,800 that place yet. But God's not going to reveal 322 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,720 the precious treasures of His Word to those who don't value 323 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,960 it. And that includes you. 324 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,800 If you don't value His word, you're putting a cap. 325 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,600 On what God can and will reveal to you. 326 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:26,480 And This is why many believers remain where they are, stuck in 327 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,520 neutral. Things aren't progressing the 328 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,000 way I thought they would in my relationship with the Lord. 329 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,840 They're stuck in neutral. But it's because they're not 330 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,200 valuing God's word. They're not pressing forward, 331 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,840 drawing close to God like they should. 332 00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:45,160 They're drawing close to other things. 333 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,800 You know, it's amazing. I'm not really a, a morning 334 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,640 person at all, but I understand that it's, it's, it's good for 335 00:20:54,640 --> 00:21:01,760 me to start my day off in this like framing my day in God's 336 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,560 word, because this will change my perspective. 337 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,520 Everything else that I encounter throughout the day, right, 338 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,080 because I put God first, seek ye first, the Kingdom of God. 339 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,400 Because I put God first, I'm drawing close to him. 340 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,000 Then the rest of my day, whatever comes my way, what are 341 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,320 my first thoughts, right? It's thoughts directed towards 342 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,480 this. I'm filtering everything the 343 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,600 rest of my day through God's word. 344 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,040 If I flip that right, it's not bad like doing study and things 345 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,520 in the evening time before bed or whatever, but I'm putting God 346 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,160 last, right? There's just something about 347 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:45,520 putting God first and then allowing our day to be filtered 348 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:50,520 through him instead of filter, trying to filter God through our 349 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,280 day. We're just not going to get as 350 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,760 much. And so myself, who's not really 351 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:02,320 a morning person, I make sure that in the morning time that 352 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,120 I'm spending some time in God's word, spending some time in 353 00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:08,280 prayer and listen, it doesn't need to be an hour. 354 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,640 You know, you're just putting God first in your day, thinking 355 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,160 about him first before you're thinking about the tasks that 356 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:20,240 you have to do at work or whatever else that it is you're 357 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,600 doing. You're putting making a decision 358 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:28,560 to put Christ first in your life, and when you draw close to 359 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,520 God, he's going to draw close to you. 360 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,840 The apostle Paul said this in one Corinthians 2 and verse 14. 361 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,880 He said, But people who aren't spiritual can't receive these 362 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:46,080 truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them, 363 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,880 right? And it does because you can't 364 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,600 understand God's Word intellectually. 365 00:22:55,120 --> 00:23:00,240 Some of the smartest people in the world, you talk to them and 366 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:05,280 they reveal themselves, as the Bible says, fools. 367 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,760 They're very smart about the things of this world, right? 368 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,360 But when it comes to the things of God, when it comes to 369 00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:17,000 spiritual things, you know, they believe that they came from a 370 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,840 single cell Organism just as an example. 371 00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:26,680 But as science has evolved, right, They've actually found 372 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:32,840 out that a single cell Organism is so incredibly complex. 373 00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:37,520 They thought years ago, before they found out this information, 374 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:42,240 that a single cell Organism was the most simplistic, you know, 375 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,320 Organism, it's just a single cell. 376 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,600 There's nothing to it, right? But as science has evolved, 377 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,760 really science hasn't evolved. Science is just the study of 378 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:56,120 God's creation, right? It's what science is US figuring 379 00:23:56,120 --> 00:23:58,400 out. Oh wow, that's what God did. 380 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,000 That's what science is. But they found out that that 381 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,000 single cell Organism is so incredibly complex. 382 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,720 It's like the entire city of Dublin, all the infrastructure, 383 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,840 all the electrical that's underneath the streets, all of 384 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,880 the plumbing, everything that goes into the, the 385 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,000 infrastructure of, of Dublin that makes it so incredibly, 386 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,960 like if you could see a map of it, you'd be like, oh, wow, like 387 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,080 that's pretty complicated. That's complex. 388 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,520 Well, that's a single cell Organism, right? 389 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,640 And so people who think they're, they're really intelligent, you 390 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,600 know, they have a lot of intelligence naturally. 391 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,040 They're trying to figure out, well, how did, how did all of 392 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,280 this happen? Like naturally? 393 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,360 But it's not something that happened naturally. 394 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,360 It's something that happened spiritually, and the Bible tells 395 00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:49,000 us how that happened. But it sounds foolish that in 396 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,640 the beginning God spoke and everything was created right? 397 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,160 Sounds foolish to a natural person who doesn't believe in 398 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,040 God. It's something that you have to 399 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,680 have spiritual wisdom and understanding of right? 400 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,120 David prayed this in Psalm chapter 25 and that's a good 401 00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:11,720 thing for us to pray as well. Psalm 25 and verse 5. 402 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:17,080 He said, lead me in your truth and teach me for you are the God 403 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:23,240 of my salvation and on you I will wait all the day like is 404 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,000 that our heart. Lord teach me in your ways. 405 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,480 Teach me what I need to know to walk with you today, to walk 406 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:35,680 with you tomorrow, to be a husband, to be a wife, to be a 407 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,840 brother, to be a sister, like whatever it is that we need. 408 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,680 Teach me Lord and you just wait on him. 409 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,880 That's your attitude. Draw close to God and He will 410 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:51,160 draw close to you and that place of relationship and intimacy. 411 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,360 He's going to give you spiritual wisdom and revelation and the 412 00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:58,320 knowledge of him. It's going to be amazing. 413 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,480 The next part of this prayer centers on the eyes of your 414 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,720 heart being enlightened. Paul continues in this prayer in 415 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,120 in verse 18 Ephesians 1/18. He says the eyes of your 416 00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:12,880 understanding being enlightened that you may know what is the 417 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,760 hope of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his 418 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,800 inheritance in the Saints. So Paul prays that we will be 419 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,600 enlightened that we will understand what is the hope of 420 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,640 God's calling. I like what it says in the 421 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,520 amplified classic version Ephesians chapter one verse 18 422 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,280 in the amplified classic, it says by having the eyes of your 423 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:40,440 heart flooded with light so that you can know and understand the 424 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,680 hope to which he has called you and how rich is the glorious 425 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:50,840 inheritance of the Saints has set apart ones your picture like 426 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,760 when he says flooded with light. I like that picture. 427 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,840 Imagine like a big massive bright light. 428 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,760 If we showed that like in this room, just like this burst 429 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,960 massive flooding of light, like we'd all have to shut our eyes, 430 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,960 right, because it's just so bright. 431 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,560 Everything becomes revealed in that light. 432 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,640 The apostle Paul is praying that our heart will be flooded with 433 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:19,400 light so that we can no one understand the hope to which he 434 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,840 has called us who you are in Christ. 435 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:30,160 The Apostle Paul is praying that we would know who we are in 436 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,760 Christ. But too many Christians live 437 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,040 like they haven't been adopted, like there are still an outsider 438 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,400 of Christ's family. The Bible actually says that 439 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,720 we've been grafted in to his family. 440 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,240 Well, what does that mean? It means just as if one of his 441 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:50,400 own, we've been adopted into his family, just as if we're his 442 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,400 very own child, because we are. When you adopt someone into your 443 00:27:54,400 --> 00:28:00,160 family, they become a member of your family just as everyone 444 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,600 else. They may not be blood 445 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:06,000 necessarily, but you treat them as if they're one of your own, 446 00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:08,040 right? But a lot of Christians, because 447 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,720 they don't know who they are in Christ, what Christ has done for 448 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,400 them, they live so far below that, like there's still an 449 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,640 outsider to God's family. But God doesn't want us living 450 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,440 like that. The apostle Paul is praying that 451 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:29,000 our heart will be flooded with the knowledge of who we are in 452 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,800 Christ. And the apostle Paul shares a 453 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,040 lot of this all throughout his teaching and in a lot of other 454 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,760 places the the author is there too. 455 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,160 For example, in in two Corinthians chapter 5 and verse 456 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,520 17, there's what we call in him realities, all right? 457 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,680 It's like who the Bible says we are in him through him by him, 458 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,920 right? And two Corinthians 517 it says 459 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:59,000 therefore, if anyone is in Christ, right, that's an in him 460 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,040 reality. If you are in Christ, right, he 461 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,440 is a new creation, old things have passed away and behold, all 462 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:13,320 things have become new. And there are about 164 of these 463 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:18,040 in Scripture 164 in him realities. 464 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,920 Well, why does that matter, right? 465 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,440 Well, it matters because these define your position. 466 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:29,040 These define your rights, these define your inheritance, what it 467 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,640 is that Christ purchased for you upon the cross. 468 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,000 That's why it matters. So Paul is praying that the eyes 469 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:42,160 of our understanding would be enlightened, that we may know, 470 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,200 but this isn't going to happen magically. 471 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,440 This is only given when we draw close to God. 472 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:58,200 Imagine if you had a, a relative and they they passed away and 473 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,160 you knew they had a had a bit of money, had some property, like 474 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,520 different things, and there was going to be a, a reading of the 475 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,040 will. Imagine how your life would 476 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,000 change if you went to the reading of that will and they 477 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,320 left everything to you. That would change your life 478 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,840 probably a little bit, wouldn't it? 479 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,280 Right. You're, you're, you've suddenly 480 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,680 got some, a lot of money in the bank. 481 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,080 You have this property, you have these businesses, like they left 482 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,280 you a lot, right. But what would happen if the 483 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,720 solicitor contacts you, sends you a letter in, in the post and 484 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,080 you don't do anything with it? You read it and you're like, Oh 485 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,800 yeah, sure. And you don't do anything with 486 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,800 that at all. And you just keep living the way 487 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,400 you've always been living. Well, your life's not going to 488 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,920 change, is it? It's going to remain the same. 489 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,440 Well, here we have in Scripture, like God is revealing to us 490 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:54,840 everything that He has done for us through Christ, in Christ, by 491 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,840 Christ, these in him realities. Well, it would probably behoove 492 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:04,320 us to find out what those are so that we can begin to walk in 493 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,480 them. And when you read something like 494 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,160 like 2 Corinthians 517, well, OK Lord, like, what does that 495 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,520 actually mean? That through Christ I have 496 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,800 become a new creation? Like, what is that like? 497 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,400 Talk to me about this Lord and ask Him. 498 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:26,120 And if you're sincerely asking, He's going to give you spiritual 499 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:31,360 wisdom in Revelation about what it is that He wants you to know 500 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,760 about that. And as you begin to walk in 501 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,360 that, he's just going to be revealing more and more and 502 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:39,720 more. Isn't that good? 503 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,400 Let me close with what Jesus said in John chapter 15 and 504 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,080 verse 4. Jesus said this. 505 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:53,160 He said abide in me and I in you as the branch cannot bear fruit 506 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:59,120 of itself unless it abides in the vine and neither can you 507 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:05,480 unless you abide in me. So I want to challenge you as I 508 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,720 did on the the previous first two weeks of this year of 2026. 509 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,880 And I'd shared the the Lord's message that he gave me for our 510 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:19,120 church for 2026, but also for you, and that was refusing to 511 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,800 draw back and pressing forward in Christ. 512 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:29,040 Listen, this year has the potential to be the best year 513 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,280 that you've ever had, no matter what's going on in this world. 514 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,920 And if you watch any of the news, this world's just 515 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:42,480 absolutely mad, right? But your life isn't based upon 516 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,840 what's going on in this world, is it? 517 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,280 Your life isn't doesn't revolve around what the BBBBC says. 518 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,800 Your life doesn't revolve around what RTE says. 519 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,960 Your life doesn't revolve around what CNN says, right? 520 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:03,160 Your life, if you allow it to revolve around this, right? 521 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,520 Draw close to God and he will draw close to you. 522 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,440 Abide in that vine, which is Christ, because that's the place 523 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:16,720 that all this fruit comes from. But it's up to you, right? 524 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,840 I can't twist your arm. If I could come behind you. 525 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,120 Twist your arm. Come on. 526 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,880 Pursue Christ. Pursue Christ, right? 527 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,600 I'd do it. Pastor Brad, stop. 528 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,120 No, Pursue Christ, right? I'd do it. 529 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,720 But that's what it's going to take, not me twisting your arm. 530 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,760 You pursuing Christ, right? Draw close to God and He's going 531 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:46,920 to draw close to you and reveal to you all these amazing 532 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:52,920 treasures that He has in His Word, things for you about you 533 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,080 and His provision. Everything that you need in this 534 00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:00,920 life is found in this. You just have to be willing to 535 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,320 go get it to dig for it. Amen. 536 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,520 Well, let's pray.
