Chapter 19 verse number. 41 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,560 One the Bible says. That Jesus entered and passed 42 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,760 through Jericho, and behold, there was a. 43 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,760 Man named Zacchaeus. Which was the chief among the 44 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,120 publicans? And he was rich. 45 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,880 And he sought to see Jesus, who he was, and he could not for the 46 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,720 press, because he was. Little of stature. 47 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,400 And he ran before and climbed up into a Sycamore tree to see him, 48 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,720 for he was to pass. That way and when. 49 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,280 Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said 50 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,640 unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must 51 00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:12,320 abide at the house. And he made haste and came. 52 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:19,560 Down and received him joyfully. Verse 3 says he sought to see 53 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,120 Jesus, who he was, and he could not for the. 54 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,160 Press because he was little of stature. 55 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:33,160 Zacchaeus was eager to see Jesus, to see Jesus for who he 56 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,080 was, I believe. Zacchaeus had reached a point 57 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,120 that he wanted. To see more than what he had 58 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,760 just heard about. They wanted to experience more 59 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,280 than just what he had heard from everybody else. 60 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,360 Around him and. I want to preach to us for just 61 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,240 a few moments tonight with the help. 62 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:59,040 Of the Lord from this thought. See more See more Would you set 63 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,400 your? Bibles down, would you? 64 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,720 Lift your hands and your hearts towards heaven tonight, and 65 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,120 would you talk to him tonight in the name of Jesus? 66 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:37,630 There's more to see. In the name of Jesus. 67 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,840 In the name of Jesus, I wish somebody come into agreement 68 00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:45,400 with me tonight and believe that there's more for us to see and 69 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,920 experience in this house. I know God's been doing great 70 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,680 things Sunday morning, Sunday night, Monday night, but I just 71 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,240 believe there's more for us to see tonight. 72 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,560 There's more for us to experience in this house 73 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,440 tonight. In Jesus name. 74 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,960 In Jesus name would you clap your hands unto the Lord 75 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,280 tonight. In the name of Jesus. 76 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,800 In the name of. Jesus, you can be seated 77 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,880 tonight. God bless. 78 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,000 You thank you for. Being in the House of the Lord 79 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,760 tonight. There was a trap. 80 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,200 That was. Designed to capture individuals 81 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,800 that are curious. There was a trap that was 82 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,240 designed to get people to tap, if you will. 83 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,640 It was a trap designed to get the reader to tap. 84 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,400 And many of you might know what I'm talking about, considering 85 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:49,240 that there are approximately 2.11 billion daily active users 86 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:54,840 of Facebook who spend an average of 31 minutes a day simply 87 00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:58,720 scrolling. Scrolling from one post to 88 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:04,400 another, from one comment thread to another, and from one friend 89 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,640 request to another. And it's while scrolling that 90 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:14,160 you will often times stumble upon someone's long, dramatic, 91 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,080 and even sometimes mysterious post. 92 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:22,600 And I don't say something along the lines of I just can't take 93 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,240 it anymore. And after everything that I've 94 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:32,880 been through, people still and all you see is 2 words that say 95 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,800 see more. All you see is see more. 96 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,920 And you fall for the trap and you continue to tap see more but 97 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,560 nothing happens. Nothing changes because there is 98 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,200 no more for you to see. It was never designed for you to 99 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,720 see more, they just typed it to get your attention. 100 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:02,080 It was a trap that was designed to get your finger to keep 101 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,840 tapping. There was no story, there was no 102 00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:08,680 information. There was nothing more for you 103 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,400 to receive. It was simply a bait. 104 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,760 Forget the reader, to keep tapping. 105 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,280 And can I tell you church, if we're not careful, this is 106 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,640 exactly how some of our own spiritual lives and become 107 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:27,960 service after service, revival after revival, we will begin to 108 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:34,360 display a surface level status. It will become a teaser to those 109 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,040 that are in attendance. But I need you to understand 110 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,880 tonight that those that are walking with fake depth, they 111 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,320 have one goal. They have one desire to simply 112 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,200 attempt to display the appearance of something deep 113 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,440 when the reality. Of the desire to. 114 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,960 See more has already disappeared. 115 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,040 It has already diminished. But I believe on a Tuesday. 116 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,480 Night that in spite. Of a culture. 117 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,760 That consistently teases transformation in spite of a 118 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,400 culture. That is here. 119 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,280 Today and going tomorrow on fire one day. 120 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,520 Called the next, I believe there's a church. 121 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,400 In Mount Carmel, IL that desires to see more. 122 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,960 That desires to see more. Miracles that. 123 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,640 See more. Truth to see more Jesus, I don't 124 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,480 know. About you. 125 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,760 But I want to see more addicts. Set free I want. 126 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,280 To see more broken marriages put back together. 127 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,280 I want to see families that everyone says there's no hope 128 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,679 for. Find hope in Jesus I. 129 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:52,120 Believe I'm in a house tonight of individuals who want to see 130 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,240 more. I've been praying God. 131 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,680 God let me see what I've never seen before. 132 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,520 God let me hear what I've never heard before. 133 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,880 God let me experience some things that you have prepared 134 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,040 for me. I want to see more. 135 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:18,080 I want to see what I've never experienced before We look in 136 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,680 Luke chapter #19 you all right? I ain't got started yet. 137 00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:27,760 In Luke chapter 19 Jesus journey leads him through Jericho and 138 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,320 it's here the Bible teaches us that were introduced to a man by 139 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,680 the name of Zacchaeus. Scripture tells us a few things 140 00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:39,840 about him. Number one, that he was short, 141 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,480 he was of little stature. And I'm gonna pause for just a 142 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,000 moment tonight and make a disclaimer for those wondering. 143 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,520 To the best of my knowledge, I do not descend from his 144 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:58,160 genealogy to the best. I know y'all were already 145 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,520 wondering that y'all were like, my God, he was short. 146 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,600 So, so is this preacher. I don't know. 147 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,920 I'm not from his tree, as best of my knowledge. 148 00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:09,800 But the Bible tells us he was short. 149 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,920 He, he was of little stature. He was short on reputation. 150 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,520 He was a tax collector. He was a traitor to his people. 151 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,920 He was often hated and dismissed by many, but the Bible goes a 152 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,680 little bit further to tell us that he sought to see Jesus for 153 00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:29,400 who he was. He had reached a point that he 154 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:30,840 wanted. To see Jesus. 155 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,400 Who he was and know who Jesus was for himself. 156 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,040 I believe that Zacchaeus had reached a point that in his 157 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,400 relationship that he wanted more than what everybody around him 158 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:49,000 could give him. I don't know this for certain, 159 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,960 so just allow me some liberty. Tonight, but I'm. 160 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,840 Confident he heard some rumors about Jesus ministry. 161 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,040 I just kind of feel like he probably heard about a time when 162 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,560 Jesus had healed some people had cast out, some devils had 163 00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:08,400 delivered, some folks provided for people, and I just believed 164 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,720 that he had reached a point that we're hearing. 165 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,440 About it was no. Longer enough. 166 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,720 To satisfy the hunger. That was on the inside of him. 167 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,200 He had heard heard the rumors of deliverance. 168 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,480 He had heard the rumors of healing. 169 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,880 He had heard the rumors of provision. 170 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,840 And it was no longer satisfying him. 171 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,520 He wanted to see. More he was. 172 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,800 Hungry to see more? And can I tell? 173 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,320 You. I believe the Church has reached 174 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,040 a point. That we're no longer satisfied 175 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,080 with hearing. About what God can. 176 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,360 Do and. What God might do? 177 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,120 We need more than a rumor of revival. 178 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,520 We need more than a rumor of healing. 179 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,480 We need more than a rumor. Of rest. 180 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,280 We need a demonstration of His power. 181 00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:53,840 We need a demonstration of His Spirit. 182 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,720 I don't know about you, but I want to see more. 183 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,520 I believe the church wants to see more. 184 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,520 I believe I'm in a church that's not hearing about a rumor of 185 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,640 revival, but I believe you're having revival. 186 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,120 I believe God is moving in our midst. 187 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:22,240 We want to see more, believe we're hungry to see more. 188 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,920 Once you get this hungry, a rumor no longer satisfies you 189 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,600 anymore. Once you reach your, once your 190 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,920 hunger reaches a new level, there's something inside of you 191 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,520 saying I've got to see more. I am no longer satisfied with 192 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,880 the word on the street. I want the word that's in the 193 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,920 sanctuary. I just believe there's a word in 194 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,920 the sanctuary for me and my family. 195 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,920 I believe there's. A hunger in this house tonight 196 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,440 to see more of Jesus. We want more of. 197 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,560 His power we. Want more of his Gloria? 198 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,840 I know you've heard a lot, but there's more to hear. 199 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,120 I know you've seen a lot, but there's more to see. 200 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,960 I believe God's got more for His church, for this congregation, 201 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:22,240 the Bible. Tells us that if we'll seek, we 202 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,520 shall find. To everyone that seeketh, 203 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,480 findeth to. Everyone that desires to see 204 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,080 more, guess what? They're going to see more. 205 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,600 To everyone that's hungry to see more. 206 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,480 They're going to see more because God is not a. 207 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,080 Man that he shall lie, neither the Son of man that he shall 208 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,400 repent. If we walked in here with the 209 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:53,520 hunger, I believe God is more than able to supply that hunger, 210 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:59,520 to feel that hunger to sanifies to the point that God, you feel 211 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:06,920 me. So we understand that Zacchaeus 212 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:12,120 has a great desire to see what he's never seen before, but he's 213 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,480 still living with some restrictions. 214 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,080 He's living with some things that are hindering him from 215 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,840 being able to see what he wants to see. 216 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,960 He. Realizes I can't see. 217 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:29,760 Because of the crowd, I can't see what I want to see because 218 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,920 of all of these people around me. 219 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,760 Now, you got to understand, at this particular point in 220 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,400 Scripture, Zacchaeus has got some options that he could give 221 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:46,880 way to at this moment. We all right at this particular 222 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,040 moment, Zacchaeus could turn around. 223 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,400 Zacchaeus could complain. I can complain. 224 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,840 Because of the crowd that's preventing me from seeing what I 225 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:04,040 came to see at this particular point that kids could even make 226 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,160 up in his mind. I've heard enough about Jesus 227 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,760 and he could settle for just a glimpse of what he's heard and 228 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,280 what he's seen. But the. 229 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,040 Bible tells us instead of doing any of those things. 230 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,040 He. Runs up ahead and climbs up. 231 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,160 Into a Sycamore tree. Letting you and I know that in 232 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,720 spite. Of the restrictions and. 233 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,040 Limitations that he's living with, It's there. 234 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,680 He made-up in this, but I'm going to elevate my efforts so 235 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,960 that I can have an encounter with what I came to have an 236 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,600 encounter with. And can I tell the church 237 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,280 tonight, in spite of what the world has put on you, there's 238 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,240 still enough hunger inside of you to get to where you want to 239 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,440 get with with Jesus. If you want your worship to go 240 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,240 to another level, it can go to another level. 241 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,880 If you want your prayer life to go to another level, it can go 242 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,520 to another level level. If you want your devotion to go 243 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,360 to another level, I believe and care. 244 00:16:08,990 --> 00:16:14,750 He's got all these. Reasons that he can quit. 245 00:16:17,150 --> 00:16:21,830 Oh, that he can stop, that he can settle. 246 00:16:22,990 --> 00:16:25,790 But instead of doing that, he chooses to climb. 247 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,560 He chooses to climb in spite of the crowd that is looking on 248 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,160 with him. He chooses to climb in spite of 249 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,200 those that might be criticizing. He chooses to elevate his 250 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:42,120 efforts by climbing past his natural disadvantages because 251 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,040 his desire to see more was far greater than anything. 252 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,520 The devil anything his flesh, anything the world could throw 253 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,400 his way. Can I tell the? 254 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,960 Church. Tonight, there will. 255 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,400 Always. Be reasons to settle. 256 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,560 For what you've already experienced, there'll always be 257 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,840 excuses, there'll always be a reason to settle. 258 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,480 But when the desire to see more gets down in your spirit, 259 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,160 there's no devil in hell that can stop what God has started. 260 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,119 When the desire to see more gets deep down in your spirit, you'll 261 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,680 stop waiting for Jesus to come to you, and you'll start 262 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,480 elevating your effort to get to hell. 263 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,280 I wish somebody just take a moment and. 264 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,720 Praise him tonight. I wish you just push beyond your 265 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,440 tiredness, beyond your flesh for a. 266 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,560 Moment and on a Tuesday night, say, God, I've come to draw 267 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,040 night to you because I know you're going to draw night to me 268 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,480 because I've come to reach for you because I know that you're 269 00:17:49,480 --> 00:18:16,640 reaching for me. There's a desire to see more, 270 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:24,840 desire to stop waiting for him and start. 271 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:31,600 Elevating her own efforts. That's why the writer would 272 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:36,240 instruct us that we are to seek first the Kingdom of God and His 273 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,720 righteousness. Then all these things shall be 274 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,880 added unto us. Can I tell you tonight it's OK 275 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,760 to elevate your effort? It's OK to go beyond what you're 276 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,920 accustomed to doing. It's. 277 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,440 OK, it's. OK if it feels abnormal or in 278 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,680 revival. It's OK if it's stretching you. 279 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,880 It's OK if it's taking you out of your comfort zone because 280 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,920 some of us in our feelers in the Holy Ghost tonight, some of us 281 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,240 have been. Hitting a ceiling. 282 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,520 In our relationship with. God and the adversaries. 283 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,360 Constantly telling us that's as far as you're. 284 00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:13,640 Going to go that's as high. As you're going to. 285 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,840 Reach, but I've come. To tell the church. 286 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,040 Tonight, what has constantly been feeling. 287 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,000 Like a ceiling. Is getting ready to. 288 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,560 Become the. Floor that you stand upon in 289 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,400 your. Relationship with God. 290 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,040 But you got to be willing in this revival to elevate your 291 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,400 effort, elevates your efforts in prayer, elevates your efforts in 292 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,040 worship, and keep climbing and keep pushing. 293 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,400 You have not maxed out in your relationship with God. 294 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,200 There is more to see, there is more to experience, but I got to 295 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,120 keep climbing. I. 296 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,000 Got to keep. Pushing. 297 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,920 I know it feels like I'm hitting my head. 298 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,440 But it ain't going to be like that forever. 299 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,880 It ain't going to be like that forever because when it used to 300 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,320 feel like I hit my. Head on. 301 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,800 I'm going to start. Standing on and believe in God. 302 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,040 You're going to take my prayers somewhere. 303 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,360 I'm trying to encourage somebody to pray again. 304 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,000 I'm trying to encourage somebody to worship like you've never 305 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,400 worshiped again. To keep pushing. 306 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,640 Because if you'll draw nigh to God, he's going to draw nigh to 307 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:33,680 you. He's going to. 308 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:47,680 Come to you. The Bible tells us that Jesus 309 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:53,520 was passing through Jericho. He had no intentions on 310 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,240 stopping. He was passing through. 311 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,680 This lets me know that he wasn't stopping for the crowd. 312 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,160 After all, he saw crowds all the time. 313 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,760 What's new, He wasn't stopping for those that were loud. 314 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,600 There were others that were loud. 315 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,040 He was simply stopping on this particular day for the one that 316 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,400 was willing to climb, the one that was willing to elevate 317 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,160 their efforts. And I just believe today, 318 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,440 church, that Jesus is still taking notice of those that are 319 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,040 willing to elevate their efforts, the willing to elevate 320 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:35,000 beyond what they're accustomed to on this particular day. 321 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,320 He looked at that kiss and he told him, he said today I must 322 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:45,760 abide at your house. He said today I must go home 323 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,400 with you. I don't know if y'all think like 324 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:57,000 I think, I hope not, but I just wonder, Pastor, why does he want 325 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,560 to go home with one man when there's a crowd of people? 326 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,720 There's a lot of other people there. 327 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,120 There's a lot of people in this house tonight. 328 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,200 And can I tell you? Can I tell you? 329 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,320 But at this particular point in Scripture, Jesus decided, hey, I 330 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,400 want to go to your house today. And I'm asking myself, why in 331 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,440 the world does he want to go to this wee little man's house when 332 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,920 there's so many other people? I'm sure there's better cooks. 333 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,800 I'm sure there's better maize, I'm sure there's better people 334 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,360 to. Abide at than the. 335 00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:33,120 Tax collector of all people. But there was something about 336 00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:37,360 this individual's effort and hunger that got the attention of 337 00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:39,440 the Master. Because I still believe. 338 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,160 That Jesus has a way. Of responding. 339 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,960 To those that are hungry to. Those that are desperate to 340 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,760 those that are. Desiring, after all, his. 341 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,640 Word teaches us that blessed are they that hunger and thirst 342 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,760 after righteousness, for they shall be filled. 343 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,120 Jesus is still responding to those that are not willing to 344 00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:05,320 settle for the status, that are not willing to settle for the 345 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,720 norm. I believe God is responding to a 346 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,560 church that's not willing to settle for casual church, but is 347 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:18,560 willing to push beyond what is normal, beyond what's customary 348 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:27,520 to have a presence of God. I believe there's folks in this 349 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:28,440 house. Bishop. 350 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,520 That they don't desire to just see their children in church. 351 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,720 But there's a desire. To see them active. 352 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,000 In church, they're not just, he's uncomfortable with them 353 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,640 just attending church, but there's a hunger to see them 354 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,280 engaged in church. They want to see more than what 355 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,960 they've ever seen before. And I believe God is responding 356 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:58,000 to your hunger. I believe he's responding to 357 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:05,360 those that are not willing to just settle. 358 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:15,000 Oh, to just settle. Just settle for hearing the 359 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:21,960 sermon. Oh, just settle for the sermon. 360 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,880 Just settle for the. Beat of the drum and the good 361 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,960 playing music. Just settle for letting it go in 362 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,800 one ear and out the other. Can I tell? 363 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,240 You. That's what hell would love. 364 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,480 Is for a. Church to just settle. 365 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,640 But we're not in a. Church that's settling this is a 366 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,000 church that is. Pushing. 367 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,000 This is a church that is. Pressing. 368 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,440 This is a church that is climbing higher. 369 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,040 This is. A church that's going. 370 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,400 Places that God has prophesied, that God has spoken over this 371 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,800 church. And I just believe on a Tuesday, 372 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,800 Thursday night, if we'll elevate our efforts, I believe we can 373 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,760 see more than we've ever seen before. 374 00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:02,680 I believe we can experience more than we've ever. 375 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:17,200 Experienced before Jesus is stopping for those of us that 376 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,800 want to see more. For those of us that I want to 377 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:26,280 experience more. More of His presence, more of 378 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,640 His power, more of His peace. I believe Jesus is. 379 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:39,320 Stopping for those that want to see more, that want to truly see 380 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:44,280 more. My all right, my good. 381 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:51,200 My good to the Holy Ghost in this place. 382 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,840 As an evangelist, I see a lot of things. 383 00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:01,400 I hear a lot of things. My God, your pastor and his wife 384 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,320 can relate. They man, they got some 385 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,920 incredible stories. Some are not lawful. 386 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:12,920 For me to utter. But they are absolutely 387 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:19,480 incredible. Oh. 388 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:25,280 My God, it's incredible. But I hear a lot of things on 389 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,360 the road. I see a lot. 390 00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:29,280 Of things. I hear a lot of people tell me I 391 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,000 want to see more. I hear a lot of people tell me I 392 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,120 want more in my relationship with God. 393 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,160 I hear pastors tell me I want God to open the windows of 394 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,000 heaven and pour out blessing upon blessing. 395 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,680 I I want to see deliverance. I want to see. 396 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,320 I want to see what we've been preaching about. 397 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,360 I hear it all the time. But what troubles me in my 398 00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:55,120 spirit is the people that are saying I want to see more. 399 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,000 They don't align it with their ability to press in. 400 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,240 They say it with their words, but your actions don't always 401 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,240 demonstrate what their mouth come on somebody what their. 402 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,680 Mouth is saying.

I see it with your desire. 406 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,440 I know what hell would love us to believe. 407 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:33,760 This is just a teaser. This is just a teaser. 408 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,040 This is just to get your attention. 409 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,400 This is just so that you can feel good and everything be. 410 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,400 Good, but I've.

Been serving the Lord a long 431 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,840 time, but there's still more for you to see. 432 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,600 I said. There's still more for you to 433 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,440 see. There's more for you to 434 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,040 experience. Some of us in this house 435 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,840 tonight, we're going to have to be willing to climb past our 436 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,920 pride, climb past our distractions, climb past the 437 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,160 offense and the opinions. Of others, we're going to have 438 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,760 to climb. Past the herd climb, past the 439 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,960 failed attempts. Until God. 440 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,000 God I. Want to see? 441 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,880 More There's going to be a St. on a Tuesday night that'll 442 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,480 declare I'm not settling. When there's more to see, 443 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,120 there's revival here to experience. 444 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,440 There's a fresh baptism of the Holy Ghost that is here. 445 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,280 I'm going to keep climbing. I'm going to keep pushing until 446 00:29:54,280 --> 00:30:03,000 I see what I've never. Seen before Yolobo shot to 447 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:12,560 Yolobo shot to your God in the name of Jesus in the name of 448 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,840 Jesus, come on as they make their way back to the keyboard 449 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,360 which you lift your hands all over this house in the name of 450 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,040 Jesus, Come on, climb in your prayers right now. 451 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,160 Come on, climb in your prayers.

I want to see more. 453 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,320 I'm not settling for one soul baptized. 454 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:33,960 I want to see. More. 455 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,760 I'm not settling for one Bible study, two Bible studies, 3 456 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,360 Bible studies. I want to see more of God's 457 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,320 glory. Released. 458 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,680 I want to. I want to see more. 459 00:30:52,720 --> 00:31:02,280 I want to see more. I want to see more. 460 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,760 I want to see more. Come on. 461 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,000 If that's your desire, I wish you'd stand to your feet. 462 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,480 With me right now. God, I want to see more. 463 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:28,640 I want to see more. I recall a time in Exodus 33 464 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,480 when God told Moses he would send an Angel to go with them 465 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:41,440 into the Promised Land, but he himself would not go with them. 466 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:49,280 But Moses was not satisfied with just an Angel. 467 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:55,400 He had had a deep desire for God's presence. 468 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,680 They begin to have this conversation and God, Moses 469 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:06,000 pretends to tell God, If your presence doesn't go with us, 470 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:11,640 then don't send me there, don't send me there. 471 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:18,960 And God begins to tell Moses, I'm fearing my favorite 472 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,480 blessings. Promise. 473 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:29,320 But Moses had a deep desire to see more than he had ever seen 474 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,400 before. So even though God made a 475 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:38,520 promise, Moses said, still show me your glory. 476 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:47,880 Just like Zacchaeus, Moses had reached a point that he wanted 477 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,720 to see more. Than what he. 478 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:56,200 Had ever experienced before. I want to see what I've never 479 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:02,480 seen before. And the Lord agrees to let his 480 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:08,680 goodness pass before Moses. And he places Moses in the cleft 481 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:13,920 of the rock and allows him to see a glimpse of his glory. 482 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,000 Moses had reached a point. I'm not content with what 483 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,680 everybody else said. I'm not even content with what 484 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,720 I've experienced myself. I want to experience more. 485 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,960 I want to experience more of God's presence, more of God's. 486 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,360 Glory. I feel that. 487 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:44,320 Longing in this house tonight to experience more, to see more. 488 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:50,680 God, show us your glory. Come on with you. 489 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,240 Lift your hands all over this house. 490 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:57,160 I'm closing. I feel the Lord taking us deeper 491 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,720 in this house. I feel that God has heard your 492 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:07,160 prayer. God's heard your cry for more, 493 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:15,880 and He's answering. He's answering, but we're going 494 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:21,719 to have to elevate our effort. We're going to have to press in. 495 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:26,920 Come on. On a Tuesday night. 496 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:31,239 I wonder if we could take a few moments and just press into what 497 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,520 God wants to do in this house. Come on. 498 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,679 He's not looking for perfect people. 499 00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:41,360 He's just looking for somebody that's willing to elevate. 500 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:48,199 Come on, it's time to climb. It's time to press in. 501 00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:51,239 This is not a. Teaser. 502 00:34:53,320 --> 00:35:00,720 This is not fake, this is real. There's more of his love, 503 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:07,760 there's more of his grace, there's more of his favor that's 504 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:13,200 in this house. Come on for just a few moments. 505 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,240 Can we press into what God is doing? 506 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:25,400 Oh God, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, oh Jesus. 507 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,720 And I want to abide with you. I want to go with you. 508 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,600 I want you full of my spirit. I want you full of my power. 509 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,840 Come on. In 2025, there's times too short 510 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,280 for us to stand still. Standing still isn't an option 511 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,160 in the Kingdom of God. We must progress. 512 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,920 We must move. Forward I. 513 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,840 Still believe that God is calling us as he has saved us. 514 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,440 He's calling us to grow. He's calling us to move. 515 00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:01,000 Forward and he's calling us because progress is not 516 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:09,960 optional. Existential for us to see more. 517 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:24,960 In the name of Jesus, in the name of come on tonight, let it 518 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,640 be the night. I'm going to climb past it. 519 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,400 I'm going to climb past my doubts. 520 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,000 I'm going to climb past my insecurities. 521 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,760 I'm gonna climb past my own ideas. 522 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,840 Come on, there's room in these altars tonight. 523 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,640 If you want to make your way with me and say God, I'm gonna 524 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,920 climb past the hurt.
