Turn to Genesis chapter #1 We 4 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:27,440 did come off the same block, you know, Genesis one. 5 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,720 But I'm, I'm, I'm going to, it's, it's easy because it's 6 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,600 just the first verse In the beginning. 7 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:41,640 God, let's just all say that in the beginning God created the 8 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:47,480 heaven and the earth. And I'm going to turn to Saint 9 00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:58,560 Mark chapter #16 man, we want to start at verse 15. 10 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:06,840 And he said to them, go into the world, Jesus speaking here, and 11 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,400 preach the gospel to every creature. 12 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,120 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. 13 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,960 Glory. I like that. 14 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:26,280 But he that believeth not shall be damned, and these signs shall 15 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,760 follow them that believe in My name. 16 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:35,040 They shall cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues, 17 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,680 and they shall take up serpents. And if they drink any deadly 18 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:48,920 thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay hands on the 19 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:57,520 sick, and they shall recover. Now these last two verses are 20 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,840 special. Verse 20 is key. 21 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:07,440 So then after the Lords had spoken unto them, he was 22 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,680 received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 23 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,880 And they then went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord 24 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:23,560 working, everybody said with them glory and confirming the 25 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,560 word with signs following.

So our journey begins. 38 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,800 We're going to take a journey tonight. 39 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,440 So our journey we're going to take a bicycle ride. 40 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:32,360 Our journey begins in Genesis. And then we were it carries us 41 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:38,280 to Mark 16 and and let me let me just understand, let me make you 42 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,680 understand where we're at. The Lord has just risen from the 43 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,840 dead. He's come out of the grave and 44 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,840 right before this he has come out of the grave and he is went 45 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:54,640 and he is he is went to visit Mary Magdalene, the Mary that he 46 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:00,560 cast 7 devils out of. And so she goes and tells the 47 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,400 rest of them, well, I've he's risen. 48 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,720 He's a they didn't believe her. You imagine that disciples 49 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,240 believers. They didn't believe him. 50 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:18,079 So he just, you know, he just, he gets among them so they know 51 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:24,000 that she's telling the truth. And a while back, I was reading 52 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,720 my daily readings and I was, I was reading in a in a book too. 53 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,560 In the midst of all of this, and while I was reading, something 54 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,480 hit me. This thought came to me in the 55 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:44,600 mix and I couldn't turn it loose. 56 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,600 And I, I don't know, I'd, I'd wake up during the night and 57 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,560 that thing was on my mind. I'd go write a few notes down. 58 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,800 I'd put it down and it just seemed like it wouldn't leave me 59 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,800 alone. So I just thought, well, OK, 60 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,720 God, we'll just do something with it. 61 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,280 If we can just help me out, Lord. 62 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:09,000 So I, I thank God for that. But I I think also Sister Jen, 63 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,920 if you're watching, thank you and thank your daddy for 64 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,640 providing the bicycle for his take his journey on. 65 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,000 And I don't think he knew where the towers of era. 66 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,320 Sister Jen. Yes. 67 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,320 I'm sorry, sister. Yeah. 68 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,840 Sister Eric is here. Yeah. 69 00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:27,800 Tell daddy that I was glad he provided it's her daddy too. 70 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,600 So riding bicycle. So we we're going to take a ride 71 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,120 on a bicycle built for 2:00 tonight. 72 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:42,480 In fact, it could hold 3. And and so it's a great thing 73 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,880 that, you know, God worked this out just for me. 74 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,040 I needed a bicycle built for two. 75 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:54,200 So he, he, he provided that. And that bicycle, I'm going to 76 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,200 tell you represents you and Jesus or me and Jesus, or 77 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,000 however you want to say it. If you will bear with me for a 78 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,960 while, I want to take you on a journey with me through the 79 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:10,680 Bible that I hope somehow will encourage you, will increase 80 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,480 your faith and drive you to be a better Christian than you are 81 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,520 right now and be a more productive Christian than you 82 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,600 are right now. How many of us wants to be the 83 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,440 best we can be? I want to be the best I can be. 84 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,160 I don't want to be under. I want to be over the top if I 85 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,880 can. Amen. 86 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,160 So our journey begins in Genesis 1, and I'm going to just lay a 87 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,920 little groundwork and then you'll see where I'm going. 88 00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:46,800 In the beginning. The story is God is riding the 89 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,280 bike. OK, Just think about this with 90 00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:50,440 me. Stay with me. 91 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:58,720 God is riding the bike. There's no one else, right? 92 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,080 He's the first one. He's, he's, he's God and he's 93 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,920 riding the bike. All right, so we're starting on 94 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,040 this little journey and there, there's no one else. 95 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,080 So it has to be God, right? There's not 3 gods, there's not 96 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,960 2 gods, there's not, there's only one God and he's the one 97 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:23,480 that's riding the bike. So let's just and, and God is 98 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,200 the spirit and they the worship, He must worship him in spirit 99 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,240 and in truth. So God is the spirit. 100 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:37,680 So he's invisible. He's riding the bike. 101 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,800 You may not be able to see him, but he's riding the bike. 102 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:50,160 OK, all right, but, and, and, and think about this and no man 103 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:56,600 can discuss or say anything against it because first John or 104 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,440 John 118 says no man has seen God at any time, so nobody's 105 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,360 seen him. So he's the Spirit and he's 106 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,480 riding a bike. Stay with me, I will get there. 107 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,960 Hallelujah. So I want to ask you tonight, 108 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,560 are you comfortable with the Spirit being in the first seat, 109 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,480 the Lord, because he's the one that's in the front seat all the 110 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,560 way through the Old Testament. Just check it out. 111 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,520 Well, we'll, we will check it out. 112 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,560 I'll, I'll give you some examples, OK, See. 113 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,760 And, and let me tell you about that. 114 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,320 So, so if you are not comfortable with the one in the 115 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,120 first seat, you're going to be in bad shape because first thing 116 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,040 you got to do is believe that he is, you got to believe that. 117 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:56,160 So God likes fellowship, right? All right, so OK, God begins to 118 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,200 create things. Don't it ain't that what he 119 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,920 does? He begins to create things. 120 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,360 I can't. You see him, He's going, he's 121 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,960 looking around 1st and he says, man, it's dark in here. 122 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,240 It's it's chaos. It's a it's, it's, it's chaotic. 123 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,400 It's just it's black, it's dark. It's there's no light. 124 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,880 So God says, I believe I'll turn on some light. 125 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,000 So he makes light. OK. 126 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,920 Then he says, I, I think I'll separate that too. 127 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,240 So he separates the dark from the light. 128 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,040 And he calls one day and one night. 129 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,760 Amen. Hallelujah. 130 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:41,680 So here we go. He makes the light and, and, 131 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,800 and, you know, here we are the first day. 132 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,560 So the second day he says, you know, I think I'll separate the 133 00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:55,120 waters a little bit. I think I'll put some up above 134 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,840 and some below. I'm going to separate him a 135 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,560 little bit. So he makes a firmament in 136 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,360 between. So then God comes along and he 137 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,720 says, you know what, add a little bit to this. 138 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,320 He's he's, he's, he's looking around, seeing what else he 139 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,320 needs. And he says, you know what, I 140 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,840 believe we need some earth and some seas and we need grass and 141 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,480 we need some trees and we need some fruit. 142 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,080 If we're going to, if we're going to make this livable, then 143 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,840 we got to have these place. So he puts that all together. 144 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,240 The third day and the fourth day he put, he makes a lesser light 145 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,680 and a greater light. He, he makes the moon for the 146 00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:33,120 night. He makes the sun for the day. 147 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,240 And he said he's see, I want to, I want to, God is on my side in 148 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,280 my home. He likes Night Lights. 149 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,400 He loves Night Lights. So he started to begin brother 150 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,840 Alex to sprinkle the stars and kind of stands back and looks at 151 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,200 and say, well, that looks pretty good, but I think it'd be good 152 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,200 if I just put a few more. So he sprinkles a few more up 153 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,120 there. So he makes the stars and the 154 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,040 light and what a great thing that is. 155 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,080 Then on the 5th day, he said, you know, we need something 156 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,240 moving. So he makes, he makes the, the 157 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,880 whales and the living things and the fowl and he does all that. 158 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,440 He puts that in order. So now he's, he's got things 159 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,240 flying around, things wiggling around in the seas and the 160 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,160 ocean. He's got, he's, he's got some 161 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,000 movement now. God's feeling at home. 162 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000 Now he's, he said, you know, I, I like, I like a little company. 163 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,320 So every time he does something, he felt like he was in company 164 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,080 with something. God's riding the bike and he's 165 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:42,720 doing all these things. So then he, he looked at it and, 166 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,640 and done and made the cattle and he made it made the, the beast 167 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,840 and man and everything that he made, he said it was very good. 168 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,080 He's, he's starting to almost see God get off the bicycle and 169 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,240 kick back and recliner a little while just looking around, you 170 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,720 know, and the night comes, boy, that's pretty, you know. 171 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,880 So on the 7th day, after seeing all that, God said, I'm going to 172 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,280 rest from all this. So he rest OK, So God creates 173 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,000 all these things and it's all good, but I wanted to tell you 174 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,840 something. God is still lonesome. 175 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,120 So he makes man, he makes Adam and, and he makes Eve, you know, 176 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:29,800 he begins to create the man and, and, and, and now he, he in the 177 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,640 midst of this, he, he makes man. Now he builds a garden and he 178 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,560 and he puts man in the midst of that garden after he makes it to 179 00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:41,800 dress it and take care of it. And, and he, he puts animals in 180 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,760 there and he runs all those animals by Adam and he names 181 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,960 them all and what they're going to be and what their names is 182 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,640 going to be. And, and he's seen after all of 183 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,760 that, after that, after everything had passed by Adam 184 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,160 and he had named the names of the animals and all of that. 185 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,840 He didn't even even Adam was lonesome. 186 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,520 So he said, you know what, I don't see nothing here that, 187 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,480 that, that fits him. So then he put Adam to sleep and 188 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,200 he took a rib out of him and he made wool man. 189 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,200 So now we've got, we've got a couple now. 190 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,280 God's still riding the bike. The others are on the back. 191 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:31,560 See, just can I, you know, I only, I was talking asking for 192 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,240 a, a bike the two. But you know, actually they 193 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,760 could be 3. I got the, you know, this all 194 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,200 put together before that. And I thought, you know, OK, 195 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,000 Adam's first. So he's sitting here and Eve's 196 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,240 back here, but God's still riding the bike. 197 00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:56,740 He's in control. He's a spirit, but he's in 198 00:13:56,740 --> 00:13:59,240 control. You know what? 199 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,440 He's still a spirit today, but he lives inside of us. 200 00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:06,920 And the truth is he's still control. 201 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,960 Yes, he is. Thank you, Jesus. 202 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,640 So he builds a garden and he puts man in it to dress it. 203 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,920 And in the beginning of God, all that God wanted was fellowship. 204 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,400 He wanted someone that he could teach his ways. 205 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,280 He wanted someone to follow after him. 206 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,760 So God he is, he is so happy to have somebody to fellowship with 207 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:42,240 that he comes in the cool of the day and he takes a walk with 208 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:48,120 Adam and Eve. And now I can tell you right 209 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,520 now, if you will, you just go back to Scripture with me. 210 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,560 But they didn't see God. He came and walked in the cool 211 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:01,360 and they heard the voice of the Lord walking in the garden. 212 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,840 I'm telling you, he can slip up on you. 213 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,720 Oh, glory. So now he's got fellowship. 214 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,200 He's he's walking with he's walking with him in the garden. 215 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,400 You know they hey, how they know he's coming. 216 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,320 They heard his voice. Adam, where art thou? 217 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,320 Where y'all at today? So they go take their little 218 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,280 morning walk. Come on in this great. 219 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,680 We got a we got a God. We've got, we've got a pretty 220 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,480 earth now and we've got a nice garden and and God has got 221 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,160 something to mix with. He's he's in the mix of them. 222 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,600 Oh glory. So, so God, he, he now he's got 223 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,120 Adam and Eve. But you know, you know what 224 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,640 happens the, you know, the story. 225 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,720 Oh, I'm not can't go through all of it because it can take you 226 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,680 all the way through the whole Bible like this. 227 00:15:54,680 --> 00:16:00,520 But anyway, anyhow, Adam and Eve come into the garden and 228 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,840 everything was fine until Eve found there was somebody else in 229 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:11,480 the garden, the old serpent. And you know what happened 230 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,520 there. I don't have to go ahead with 231 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,160 that story, but we know that children were born after that. 232 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,480 There was Cain and Abel. I'm I'll, I'll put some of this 233 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,480 in order and some I'm just going to hit the top of the trees. 234 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:31,840 See, God or man has always desired to be in the front seat. 235 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:40,960 Eve showed that very well. And Abel, think about it. 236 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,560 We had Cain and Abel and Abel was willing to ride in the 237 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,760 second seat. He had no problem with that. 238 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,280 But Cain had something within him that he did not want to ride 239 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,800 in that second seat. He wanted to do his own thing. 240 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,120 Isn't that where we're at today? People wanted to do their own 241 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,240 thing and they separated from the truth and they went to a non 242 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,560 truth and they're doing their own thing, but they're going to 243 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,200 get in trouble because God's still in control. 244 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:18,640 Thank you Jesus. So we know that Abel thought, 245 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,480 you know, I like it kind of in this second seat. 246 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,960 This is pretty nice place. But Cain was jealous of Abel 247 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,240 because Abel was favored by God because he brought the right 248 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:38,680 kind of sacrifice. But Cain didn't and therefore he 249 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,880 was jealous of Abel. And what did he do? 250 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,960 We find right off of the start, he murdered his brother. 251 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,760 Oh glory. So we know the story. 252 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,600 So let's start taking our journey. 253 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,320 What you say we, we went a little piece. 254 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,920 So we'll, we'll just go a little farther. 255 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,280 Let's, let's, let's just start this journey and then go ahead 256 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:07,320 and and get this thing started. Now God finds he, he takes this 257 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,760 little journey and he finds a man named Enoch. 258 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,200 So God starts walking with him, right? 259 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:22,240 He starts walking with God. And the Bible said in Genesis 260 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:28,720 524 and Enoch walked with God and he was not for God took him. 261 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,080 Now I want you to notice he finds he finds somebody that 262 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,400 that is just fine in the second seat. 263 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:46,120 He loves it so much that he walks with God daily and and 264 00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:50,360 they they become such good friends and fellowship so well 265 00:18:50,360 --> 00:19:00,320 together that they were walking one day or riding their bike and 266 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,400 God says, you know what I I really like having you around. 267 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,560 I could use you all the time. So he takes him home with him, 268 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,960 couldn't find any after that. You know why? 269 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,160 Because he was such a good friend to God and he fellowship 270 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,760 so well and he loved the second seat that he took him to heaven 271 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,280 with him. I'm telling you, it's important 272 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,320 to be willing to ride in the second seat. 273 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,440 Oh Jesus, Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. 274 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,040 So Enoch liked the second seat and he, he just went on to 275 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,600 heaven. So let's take our next little 276 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,240 journey. Let's make another stop. 277 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,040 We'll go to Genesis chapter number 689. 278 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,520 But Noah found grace. Well, how about that? 279 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,240 In the eyes of the Lord, That's where she was found. 280 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,600 In the eyes of the Lord. How about that? 281 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,880 These are the generations of Noah. 282 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,720 Noah was a just man. Everybody said just man. 283 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:10,040 And perfect in his generation. Now notice it says perfect in 284 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:15,440 his generation, perfect in his generation. 285 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,520 And Noah, what does this say? Walk with God. 286 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,440 No, walk with God. So brother Alex, he was, he was, 287 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,760 he was comfortable in the second seat. 288 00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:32,320 OK, God, just tell me what to do. 289 00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:35,640 God tells him to build art, all of that stuff. 290 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,720 He he goes through all he does everything God asked him to do. 291 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,840 He said, hey, Noah, I like you and your family better than the 292 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,680 rest of the world. So I guess what I want you to do 293 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,480 is build you a boat and I want you to bring all the animals in 294 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,520 male, female. He told he'd give him 295 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,440 instruction and and Noah listened to every bit of it. 296 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,600 He was second and sitting in the second seat taking notes. 297 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,000 Come on. And he didn't mind it at all. 298 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,040 He was doing exactly what God said. 299 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,280 And he said no, because you have followed me right down to the T. 300 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,000 I'm going to bring your family in this ark, and I'm going to 301 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,280 save you and your family. Now, I don't know about you, but 302 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,720 that says something to me. All right, in the second C, if 303 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,520 you're going to take my family to heaven, you bet I'm going to 304 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,960 ride in the second C. That's all right with me. 305 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:28,960 God, you take control. Oh Jesus Hallelujah. 306 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,640 Oh Jesus Hallelujah. Praise God. 307 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,680 So Noah liked the second seat and his family was safe for it. 308 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,000 Now, I didn't put this in there, but I did. 309 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,040 So you wouldn't. I know I let you leaving a lot 310 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,680 of important people out here, but I'm trying to hit just a few 311 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:50,080 and I'm just going to put this in here just quick because it 312 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,600 take a long time to put all of Moses in here. 313 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,120 We could stop an exodus real easy, you know, and we let the 314 00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:02,200 people out. It'd be easy to do that. 315 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,760 Most Moses listened to everything he did. 316 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,800 I wanted him to do too, except for one thing. 317 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,840 And that cost him going to send promised land. 318 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:15,440 You think that was such a small thing? 319 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,240 Well, wasn't to God. You disobeyed orders. 320 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,720 I'm sorry. So you're going to pay the 321 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,440 penalty. You don't smite me twice. 322 00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:28,640 So he said because of that, Moses, you're not going, you're 323 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,080 not going to get a go in the promised land. 324 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,320 I'll I'll take you up on the mountain. 325 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,120 You can look at it before you die, but that's all. 326 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,440 And he married, he buried Moses. Nobody knows where he's at. 327 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:39,720 All right. All right. 328 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,360 So I did throw that in her. So, you know, I I didn't forget 329 00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:44,760 him. I just kind of catching the top. 330 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,520 So our next journey we're going to stop at first Samuel 3 and 331 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,280 one. I've got scripture tonight, 332 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,480 buddy. You're going to love Scripture 333 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,400 and the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord. 334 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:07,040 Everybody said unto the Lord before Eli, and the word of the 335 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,880 Lord was precious in those days, and there was no open vision. 336 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,000 Samuel began to minister in the Tabernacle when he was just a 337 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:23,320 young child. But notice that he ministered 338 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,520 before the Lord unto Sam or unto Eli. 339 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,640 Think about that. He is, he is, he is. 340 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,800 God's put him ahead of the priest. 341 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:42,360 Come on. So he is, takes his he's, he's 342 00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:45,240 laying down. He's just a child and God begins 343 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:51,480 to speak to Samuel. He uses Samuel early on and Eli 344 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:56,800 knows that God is with Samuel and after God had spoke to 345 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,040 Samuel, the next morning they woke up and of course, you know, 346 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,160 he opens up the House of the you know, the Lord for him and 347 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:09,720 everything and he comes in and and he says, OK, Samuel, you 348 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,440 tell me what the Lord spoke to you. 349 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,160 Don't you hold back and back nothing. 350 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,960 You, you tell me what he said and he did. 351 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:23,600 What I'm trying to get at is Samuel was willing to set in the 352 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:33,000 second seat. I said he was second seat, but 353 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,840 he was having to give orders or having to tell the guy what to 354 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,040 do. That's in charge. 355 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,640 Come on now. Oh, God, you tell me. 356 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:48,400 God don't put some things first. He does it. 357 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,880 Thank you, Jesus. So Samuel liked the second seat. 358 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,520 And the Bible teaches us that Samuel rode in that second seat 359 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,640 all the days of his life. He followed God. 360 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,040 He was all right with God leading him. 361 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,960 He was all right with that guy that you couldn't see. 362 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,960 Come on, he would. You couldn't see him, but he was 363 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,640 writing and he was given the direction. 364 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,200 He had a hold of the handlebars that turned you whichever way he 365 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:25,400 wanted him to go, did he not? And Samuel obeyed those orders 366 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:33,240 for a life long journey. Oh what a what a precious man, 367 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,440 Glory and I. I don't know of anybody else 368 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,160 Pastor, if you do, you tell me. But I begin to think about this. 369 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,680 Samuel liked the second seat, and he rode in all of his life. 370 00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:50,960 And God used Samuel to speak to Saul even after Samuel's death. 371 00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,920 Yes, Sir, it might have been the devil that brought him up, but 372 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:06,320 Samuel spoke to Saul and told him exactly what was going to 373 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,560 happen to him. Come on now, we're going through 374 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,400 a journey here. It'll change in a little bit. 375 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,080 OK, so our next journey, we're going to stop it first. 376 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:21,120 Samuel 1314 But now thy Kingdom shall not continue. 377 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:28,640 The Lord has sought him a man after his own heart, and the 378 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,720 Lord has commanded him to be captain over his people. 379 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:37,600 Because thou has not kept that which the Lord commanded, He 380 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,560 said. I have already had my eyes on 381 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,920 David, and because of your rejection of me, because of you 382 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,520 not following orders, I have found a man that's going to be 383 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,800 after my own heart. Now that's pretty strong words. 384 00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:01,400 So Samuel anointed him king. Guess what? 385 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,320 David was all right to ride in that second seat, David. 386 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,400 In fact, David loved it so well that David didn't do anything 387 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:14,760 without first seeking God. Every time he went to battle, 388 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,400 he, he, he sought the Lord. How am I going to win this man? 389 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,120 Well, don't do it this way, but do it this way this time, David, 390 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,960 David always, he was always humping up the priest garment 391 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,840 and the Urim and therm. He, he wanted all that in his 392 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,040 presence so he could ask God questions, but God's in control. 393 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,760 He's in the first seat, David's in the second seat. 394 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,920 But David knows that that guy in the first seat knows what he's 395 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,680 doing and whatever he says I'm going to do. 396 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,360 He knows that the guy in the first seat, the one that's 397 00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:50,720 bringing him blessings, he's the one that's increasing him. 398 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,200 Have you ever sat down and realized where your increase 399 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:59,240 comes from? Have you ever realized why 400 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:05,520 you're where you are? And I've heard some people say, 401 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,280 well, it ain't too good right now. 402 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,440 Well, maybe you wasn't in the second seat. 403 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,640 If you don't follow in the second seat, if you're not 404 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,320 seeking the one in the first seat, then there's something 405 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,440 wrong and you've got to get on the bike. 406 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,280 Come on, you got to get on the bike. 407 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,320 You got to ride it with him. You can't let him go out way 408 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,800 ahead of you, honey. I want to stay close to him. 409 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:39,360 Oh, Jesus glory. So let's take our next little 410 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:47,240 journey, stopping first King 17 one and Elijah the Tish bike, 411 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,640 who was the inhabit of Gilead. Send Ahab as the Lord God of 412 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,080 Israel, liveth before him who I stand. 413 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,120 There shall not be dew nor rain these years. 414 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:06,040 But according to my word, he had such a relationship with God 415 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,680 that he spoke it into existence. He must have liked the second 416 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:17,520 seat. So here we go. 417 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,040 We got somebody else that's just fine with the second seat. 418 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,680 Elijah trusted, trusted the one in the number one seat. 419 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,120 And the chariot horseman came and picked him up. 420 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,520 And he had such a close relationship with God that God 421 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,040 sent him a a chariot to pick him up. 422 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:49,080 Take him to heaven. Come on now, glory pretty close 423 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:54,760 relationship. Elijah just he was he was quite 424 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,280 he was quite all right to sit in the second seat. 425 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,920 God give him 7 miracles. That's all right. 426 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,000 And then it come then the Lord sent him to get him a helper 427 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,720 named Elijah. I know when I was, when I was 428 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:17,000 putting this down and I and I hadn't seen the bike yet putting 429 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,080 it down, I thought, well, I guess Elijah was riding on the 430 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:25,200 handlebars. I know, you know, God's in the 431 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:30,560 first seat. Elijah's on the second seat and 432 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,320 he's his servant. Elijah's his servant. 433 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,440 I guess he's sitting on the back. 434 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,200 At first I thought, well, maybe you have to ride on the 435 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,240 handlebars. So it's 3 seater now. 436 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,960 So that's all right with him. He hey, Elijah didn't care. 437 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,600 He followed Elijah wherever he went. 438 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,720 He done whatever he said because he knew he was a man of God. 439 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,400 And he wondered what Elijah had come on. 440 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,160 I wish to God we could get some people so excited that they want 441 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,640 what pastors got. I wish they'd get so excited 442 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,760 that they don't want what you got. 443 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,000 And whatever it takes to get it, I'm going. 444 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,640 If I have to follow you the rest of the days of my life, I'm 445 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:19,480 going to follow you. I want what you got and, and 446 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,480 Elijah felt so strong about it, but Elijah was going to be taken 447 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,480 from him. He said, well, I he said, I want 448 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:26,840 a double portion of what you got. 449 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,000 He said, well, that's a hard thing. 450 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:35,400 But nevertheless, if you see me when I leave, then it'll happen. 451 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,800 So Elijah makes Elijah makes some trips and he goes across 452 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,240 the waters, you know, he flips that thing together. 453 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,240 They walk across on dry ground and he'll he says, OK, now 454 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,360 Elijah, you stay here because I'm going here. 455 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,440 He said, no, no, no. I know you are not leaving me, 456 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,520 buddy. I'm staying right with you. 457 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,760 You got the goods and I want them. 458 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,080 Come on. We got the first seater, the 459 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,680 second seater and the third seater. 460 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,720 And everybody's saying, Elijah, you know your master going to be 461 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,120 taken from you today. I can almost hear him. 462 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,000 Shut up. I know it. 463 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,400 What you think I'm going to know? 464 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,440 Hey, it's my master. I'm around him all the time. 465 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,080 I know how he operates. I know he's going to be taken, 466 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,760 but I'm going to be there to see him leave. 467 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,640 In fact, I'm going to see him off. 468 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,560 Yeah. So. 469 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:44,080 So here we go. He just he was, he was quite 470 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,880 Elijah was just he, he loved it. He he set in that number C2C No, 471 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:55,760 no problem. So let's take our next journey. 472 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,640 Drop in on 2nd Kings 4-5 through 7. 473 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,760 So he went, So she went from him, and shut the door upon her, 474 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,600 and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her. 475 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,040 And she poured out, came to pass. 476 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,640 When the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me a 477 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,040 vessel. He said to her, There is not a 478 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,360 vessel more. And the oil stayed. 479 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,840 Then she came and told the man of God, and he said, Go, sell 480 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,400 the oil and pay the debt. Live thou and thy children the 481 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:37,520 rest of thy life, Elijah. He took over from where Elijah 482 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:42,840 left off because the sons of the prophets on the other side, they 483 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,280 went back and they watched to see if Elijah and he did. 484 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,680 He took the mantle. He wrapped it together and smote 485 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,640 the waters. And they they said now that the 486 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:56,200 the the spirit that that let was on Elijah is now on Elijah. 487 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,280 But what they didn't know that it was even greater. 488 00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:03,200 They didn't know that, you know, their master now had asked for a 489 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,200 double portion. Glory. 490 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,000 What a great thing. So, So Elijah, he trusted God, 491 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,719 He walked before him. He done all that. 492 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,360 He said he was all right to sit in the second seat. 493 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,120 It was all right. Just give me direction, Lord, 494 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,560 tell me what to do, and I'll go wherever you want me to go. 495 00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:24,520 Fact, you're leading. You're leading anyway. 496 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:25,960 You just take me where you want me to go. 497 00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:30,239 So he was all right to sit there. 498 00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:35,360 So Elijah, because of his faithfulness and what he wanted, 499 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,560 he got 14 miracles. He got a double portion. 500 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:42,760 Now, are you beginning to get the picture? 501 00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:48,080 Things began to change from here on where I'm going. 502 00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:54,120 See what I've been trying to tell you in your spirit all 503 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:58,280 night is this. God is not interested in how 504 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,160 many high class people you hang with. 505 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,720 That's right. Or how many followers you have 506 00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:09,360 on media or how many you are connected with. 507 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,360 He's not he's, he's, he said he don't care nothing about all of 508 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,600 that. He is not even interested in 509 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:24,240 your popularity. But what he really wants is God 510 00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:31,040 wants to be mixed in whatever you are doing and wherever you 511 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:36,080 are doing it. God wants to be in our mix. 512 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,000 Come on, come on. I don't care if you're shopping. 513 00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:47,160 God wants to be with you. You notice all of these men in 514 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,520 the Old Testament, they followed God because He was the writer. 515 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,320 He was the number one and anybody who was working for God 516 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,600 as a prophet, they're going to be in that second seat and 517 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,440 humbled and very precious to be sitting there. 518 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,680 Feel feel good about being there, but it's about to change 519 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,240 now. Oh glory, Hallelujah. 520 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,720 God wants to be in the mix of what you're doing. 521 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:18,160 Come on, Hallelujah. I said he wants to be in the mix 522 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,480 of what you're doing. He wants to be in the mix of 523 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,560 your worship. He wants to be in the mix of 524 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,040 your job. Come on. 525 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,240 Yeah. He wants to be in the mix of 526 00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:33,160 your school. He wants to be in the mix with 527 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,560 your friends. God wants to be there no matter 528 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,920 what you're doing. So I don't know how that makes 529 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,480 you feel, but that makes me feel special. 530 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,800 But you know what it is today? Some people get scared because 531 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,800 God knows what they're doing all the time. 532 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:59,360 You can't hide it from Him. He's a spirit and if you're not 533 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,600 willing to ride on the seat, you're going to get along. 534 00:37:08,660 --> 00:37:11,500 Oh Jesus. Oh glory. 535 00:37:12,340 --> 00:37:15,620 In fact, He's not even interested in the sins you 536 00:37:15,620 --> 00:37:21,800 committed, no matter how bad you think they are. 537 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,280 He's interested in what you're going to become from this day 538 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,640 forward. He's not interested in your 539 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,320 past. He's interested in your 540 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:40,320 becoming, oh Jesus, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 541 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,280 Come on. I, I think sometimes if we're 542 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:49,880 not careful, we are beating ourselves to death over the has 543 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:56,720 been and over the past. And you cannot change the past. 544 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,680 And then they're funny and then and then it's true. 545 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,720 You know what the devil devil don't keep after you about your 546 00:38:05,720 --> 00:38:07,480 future. It's always about your past. 547 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,720 He always tells you what you have done. 548 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,560 And I've always told people, you know, when he starts to remind 549 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,920 you of his path, of your past, you tell him about his future. 550 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,880 So I've read the end of the book and I know where you're going to 551 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,760 be. Come on, I may have done that, 552 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,040 but there's something I can be forgiven. 553 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:37,280 But you can't. You try to get equal with God. 554 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,200 You see what happens? You don't even get a seat. 555 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:45,920 You got to run. Do your own thing. 556 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:55,400 Hallelujah, Laurie. So, So don't beat yourself to 557 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,520 death. Hey, I don't want you to beat 558 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,640 yourself to death because the blood has already been shed and 559 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,200 you're free. And I and I could, I could, you 560 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,320 know, I could sing this little song because it's old and I 561 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,720 could sing it. I can sing that song right now. 562 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:14,960 Thank God. I am free, free, free from this 563 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,960 world of sin. Been washed in the blood of 564 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:24,080 Jesus, been born again. Hallelujah. 565 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:29,000 I'm saved, saved, saved from this world below. 566 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:34,760 I'm so glad that I found out He would bring me out and show me 567 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,160 the way. Come on. 568 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,400 That's what the second seat does for you. 569 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,240 Oh, Jesus, somebody shout. The change is coming. 570 00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:51,480 Yeah, well, I've been up here probably too long. 571 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,960 But our next journey is to the New Testament. 572 00:40:01,530 --> 00:40:08,200 Go to STOP Matthew 3, verse 1/2. In those days came John the 573 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,760 Baptist preaching the wilderness, in the wilderness of 574 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:15,960 Judea, saying repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. 575 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:25,480 Oh, glory Hallelujah. So John the Baptist is a 576 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,640 forerunner of Christ. He's before him. 577 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,080 He's preaching repentance, but that's all he knows. 578 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,560 He's baptizing him, but he he's he don't have a name to put on 579 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,720 it. Baptize the baptism of 580 00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:44,360 repentance, wouldn't it? Yeah. 581 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:51,360 And then we could just drop on to Matthew 311 and 13 or 11 or 3 582 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,760 and 11 through 13. I indeed baptize you with water 583 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,960 until repentance, but he that come after me is mightier than 584 00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:01,880 I, whose shoes I'm not worthy to bear. 585 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,160 And he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire 586 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:09,760 whose fan is in his hand. And he will thoroughly purge his 587 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,840 floor and gather his wheat into the gardener, but he will burn 588 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,000 up the chaff with unquenchable fire. 589 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:24,840 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan and to John, to be 590 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:29,360 baptized of him. Now he's visible. 591 00:41:35,310 --> 00:41:38,390 Come on, the Spirit was leading you before, but now he's 592 00:41:38,390 --> 00:41:42,750 visible. He's not in the tomb anymore. 593 00:41:44,030 --> 00:41:50,910 Oh Jesus, Hallelujah. So now he is flesh and born, 594 00:41:52,310 --> 00:41:56,670 born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Ghost. 595 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:03,880 He is in the seat Jesus. Now he's got a name. 596 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:08,360 Now you know who to follow. Now his name is Jesus. 597 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,000 So he's, he's in the first seat now. 598 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:17,640 All right, the Almighty God flesh now is in the first seat, 599 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:23,600 Lord Hallelujah. And he's in that seat now for 3 600 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,240 1/2 years. And he's along the way, he is 601 00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:30,360 collecting disciples and he's, he's, he's getting his pastels 602 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:34,080 and he's getting his ministry together to minister the world. 603 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,480 OK, He's, he's getting ready to evangelize the world. 604 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,320 So he's putting everything in order. 605 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,040 In 3 1/2 years. He puts it all in order. 606 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:49,360 Glory. I'm about to get excited, Mercy. 607 00:42:50,760 --> 00:43:03,380 Our next journey is Matthew 16, 16 through 19. 608 00:43:04,500 --> 00:43:07,980 And Simon Peter answered and said, thou art the Christ. 609 00:43:07,980 --> 00:43:10,540 Everybody's wondering who whose men say I am, who you think I 610 00:43:10,620 --> 00:43:13,980 am. Peter says Thou art the Christ, 611 00:43:13,980 --> 00:43:16,100 the Son of the living God, Jesus. 612 00:43:16,100 --> 00:43:19,380 Anderson answered and said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon 613 00:43:19,380 --> 00:43:23,120 Barjona, for flesh and blood have not revealed it unto thee, 614 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,720 but my father, which is in heaven. 615 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:29,160 And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this 616 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:35,640 rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not 617 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,240 prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the 618 00:43:39,240 --> 00:43:45,800 keys of the Kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind 619 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,920 on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever thou 620 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,680 shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 621 00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:02,520 Catch that glory. Our next journey is to our text 622 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:15,130 map Mark 16. And he says, Gee, we, we read 623 00:44:15,130 --> 00:44:19,440 this. But 15 Jesus says, Go into all 624 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,680 the world, preach the gospel to every creature. 625 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,240 He that believeth is baptized shall be saved. 626 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,160 He that believeth not shall be damned. 627 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:27,800 These signs shall follow them believe. 628 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,680 And my name shall cast out devils. 629 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,520 They shall speak with new tongues, shall take up serpents, 630 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,360 and drink any deadly thing. It won't hurt them. 631 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,040 They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 632 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:45,400 And if you haven't listened, listen Mark 1620. 633 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:53,840 That's my favorite key verse. And they went forward so well, 634 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,400 maybe I would just go ahead and read 19 too. 635 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,840 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, come on, he 636 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,960 was received up into heaven and said on the right hand of God, 637 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,560 and they went forth preaching everywhere, the Lord working 638 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,560 with them and confirming the word with signs following them. 639 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:22,160 Now are you getting the picture? You understand now that Jesus 640 00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:29,080 has now ascended, and guess what, He's passed that You know 641 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,960 who's in the seat now? The church. 642 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:43,080 We are the only, we are the closest thing to Jesus, a 643 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,440 representation that's in this world today. 644 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:48,960 So everybody's got their eyes on the church. 645 00:45:55,620 --> 00:45:58,740 And he was always one to be in the mix of everything. 646 00:45:58,980 --> 00:46:03,340 And now more than ever, he's one to be in the mix of his people. 647 00:46:04,580 --> 00:46:08,740 Come on, because I'm going to tell you pastors in the front 648 00:46:08,740 --> 00:46:10,660 seat. I'm behind. 649 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:18,000 Come on, come on. But there is an unseen God that 650 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:23,320 walks before him. Come on, church, somehow we need 651 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,720 to get excited that there is a God. 652 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,200 He may be out in front of that by well, I'll just be truth with 653 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,520 you. I really believe he's in the 654 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:36,240 second seat. He's working with us. 655 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:41,320 I don't know, it may not excite you, but I'm going to tell you I 656 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,640 have to think about this every time, every now and then. 657 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:51,840 You know that every time, every time, every time you hear, every 658 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:58,280 time say every time, every time I anoint somebody with oil, the 659 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:04,160 Lord is touching.

He wants to be in the mix. 664 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,120 I said he wants to be in the mix in everything you're doing. 665 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,560 Jesus. Hallelujah. 666 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,000 Hallelujah. You understand that every time 667 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,800 pastor gets up here to preach that he's in the front seat, but 668 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:42,200 there is a God that's behind him that you may not see, but he's 669 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:48,320 there. I've had a, I've had a few 670 00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,920 people that said to me, hey, I've seen the, I've seen the 671 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:55,760 Angel up there by you. Well, I'm glad he was there. 672 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,720 If you'll do what he says, he'll always be there. 673 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:08,200 When we quit, when we quit following him, when we quit 674 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,760 following the man of God that God put in charge of us, we're 675 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,320 in trouble. Come on now. 676 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,000 If you drop out of that second seat, honey, it's hard to tell 677 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,080 him what's going to happen to you. 678 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:30,430 I want to tell you something. He's he's with you in the 679 00:48:30,430 --> 00:48:32,630 business affair. If you make him a part of your 680 00:48:32,630 --> 00:48:36,110 business, he'll keep you. Got right, brother Fred. 681 00:48:36,110 --> 00:48:37,880 He'll keep you. I don't care what the 682 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,680 circumstances. Come on, Church, if you get 683 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,960 behind him, come on. COVID won't shut you down. 684 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,240 Come on, I said.

We've got authority and power 687 00:48:56,240 --> 00:48:58,440 over him. Whatever we bind on earth will 688 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,320 be bound in heaven. That is Bible. 689 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,480 That's not come on, that's not Bishop saying it. 690 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,400 That's what the word of God said. 691 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,160 He told Peter that he passed it down to the church. 692 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:17,960 We've got it now. He said greater things than me. 693 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,040 Shall you see? Done you do. 694 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:28,800 Oh Jesus. Hallelujah, glory, Jesus. 695 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,760 So they went forth everywhere, Bible says, preaching Lord, 696 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:39,680 working with them, working with them. 697 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:45,800 That's why there were signs following them, because he was 698 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,360 working with them. Everybody they everybody they 699 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:58,640 touched he touched everybody they spoke to, He spoke to glory 700 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:04,080 Hallelujah. I'm about through Hallelujah. 701 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,400 Thank you. Jesus, I really like the very 702 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,800 end of that because it says Amen. 703 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:17,920 So be it. See, because I I could, I could 704 00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:22,560 take you on back really I could take you on back to Revelations 705 00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,920 19. You know, we're in the seat 706 00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:29,520 right now, but once again, Revelations 19, Jesus has taken 707 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:36,080 the first seat. He wants to be in the mix. 708 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,280 But I want to tell you, though, this journey is not over yet. 709 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,440 The book of Acts is not complete yet. 710 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:52,760 There's still a journey for us.
