00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,480
Hey, welcome to the City Point 
Church podcast. 

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,280
Thanks for joining us. 
Every day is an opportunity to 

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,280
take hold of. 
So we hope this message inspires

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,560
you and build your faith that it
helps you have more of a God 

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,880
perspective for your day. 
Enjoy. 

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,360
Jesus is pretty good, isn't it? 
Yeah, Name above all names. 

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,680
I'm wondering, Pastor TJ, where 
were you when God created the 

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:35,320
moon? 
Can it, Pastor Chris, before you

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,640
go, where were you before God 
created the rainbow? 

10
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,480
No idea. 
Pastor Mel, where were you 

11
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:51,040
before God created the sun? 
I'm wondering where was the gods

12
00:00:51,040 --> 00:01:01,960
that other people worship? 
Before God created the four 

13
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:09,760
corners of the universe, where 
was Lucifer before God breathed 

14
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,440
him into existence? 
You see where I'm going, right? 

15
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,000
Who's the name above every name?
Jesus. 

16
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,400
Come on, Jesus is the name above
every name. 

17
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,600
There is no wonder why this 
community is going to come and 

18
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,200
bow before the name of Jesus. 
There is no wonder why every 

19
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,080
church is yet and very soon to 
be full beyond its brims and its

20
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,040
borders. 
Amen is because His name is the 

21
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:46,040
only name that actually matters.
He's the name that gives life to

22
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,440
people, that brings healing to 
people, that brings restoration 

23
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,760
to people, that brings clarity 
of mind to people, that restores

24
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,600
emotions to people, that saves 
people's eternity. 

25
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,040
And He's the one who created 
them in the first place. 

26
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,120
So if He can create us in the 
1st place, he can restore us, 

27
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,639
Amen and he can bring His people
back to himself. 

28
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:13,680
He's the name above all names 
and there's a deceiver out there

29
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,560
and he's a deceiver because he 
is actually a loser. 

30
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,160
Already lost, already lost. 
I'm not trying to play big right

31
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,320
now. 
He's already lost because Jesus 

32
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,600
blood was all powerful and it 
was what it was. 

33
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,960
You know, Jesus going to the 
cross wasn't the saddest day. 

34
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:37,320
It was the most victorious day. 
It was the day when where Jesus 

35
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,920
declared himself, where he said 
there is no principality or 

36
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:48,320
power or temptation or ruler. 
There is nothing above me, 

37
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,120
everything is beneath me. 
And then he went one step 

38
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,520
ridiculously forward from there 
and he said, and all that 

39
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,640
believe in me, everything is 
also under their feet. 

40
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,880
Amen. 
Isn't that insane? 

41
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:05,120
Insane. 
Or why don't you take your seat?

42
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,560
I'm just going to go nuts, go 
crazy. 

43
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,640
Let's read. 
I want to I want to preach a 

44
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:19,360
message called the perspective 
of possibilities. 

45
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,640
The perspective of 
possibilities. 

46
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,640
I think it's important that you 
and I look at rot life 

47
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:31,520
correctly. 
You know, sometimes we allow 

48
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:37,520
through our perspective, we 
allow our situations, our 

49
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:43,520
feelings, circumstances, all the
things of this world dictate to 

50
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,800
us. 
When they have no authority to 

51
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:53,120
do that, it has no place in our 
wise except for that what we 

52
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,360
give it. 
But when you and I have a God 

53
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,040
perspective, we only then see 
possibilities. 

54
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,360
Let me tell you, God does not 
look at you and I and see 

55
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,760
problems. 
God looks at us and sees the 

56
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,920
possibilities. 
He sees everything He has 

57
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:16,079
created you to become and be He.
He sees the power that is being 

58
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:20,360
infused into your spirit through
the Holy Spirit of God. 

59
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,120
He sees the washing that has 
happened, and he sees the 

60
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:29,680
possibility of you becoming 
everything He originated for you

61
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,880
to become and for you to be a 
man. 

62
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,320
It's only us that doesn't see 
that. 

63
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,120
And so tonight, this message is 
about a perspective of 

64
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,560
possibilities. 
And in the Holy Scriptures, 

65
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,280
Psalms 14, two, it's not up on 
the screen. 

66
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:49,120
It says the Lord looks down from
heaven upon the children of man 

67
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,880
to see if there is any who 
understand, who seek God 

68
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:02,160
powerful, who understand not who
just know about, not those who 

69
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:08,880
have heard, but those who 
understand really who God has 

70
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,000
created them to be. 
Is there any like that in this 

71
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,760
place tonight? 
They might understand this a 

72
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:20,800
little bit, a little bit. 
Psalms 102 verse 19 up on the 

73
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,640
screen it says for he looked 
down from the height of his 

74
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:30,240
sanctuary, which I don't even 
understand or can't even grasp 

75
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,040
where that is because he formed 
the universe. 

76
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,240
He looked down from the height 
of his sanctuary, from heaven. 

77
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:52,680
The Lord viewed the earth. 
The Lord views our situation, 

78
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:59,240
our circumstance, your life, and
the things around you from His 

79
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:06,800
throne in heaven. 
And when He looks at your world,

80
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:14,640
He has an invitation for you and
I to transfer from an existence 

81
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:23,640
of our human understanding into 
a reality of truth that is in 

82
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:29,760
his perspective. 
He gives us an invitation to 

83
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:35,760
transfer the way we look into a 
new way of looking. 

84
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:42,760
He invites us. 
It's an invitation empowered 

85
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,760
through the Holy Spirit, but 
it's an invitation really 

86
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,240
through the blood of Jesus 
Christ that we would change our 

87
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:57,840
perspective of our situation, 
our relationships, our jobs, the

88
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:02,360
world around us, our schools and
our universities, that we would 

89
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,760
have a God heavenly perspective 
when we walk in there every day.

90
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:14,320
When you get out of that car and
go to uni, you ought to get out 

91
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,520
and go. 
What does a child of God see 

92
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,760
today? 
Man, there's a lot of people 

93
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,400
here. 
There's a lot of souls waiting 

94
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,160
for you today. 
God, would you show me which one

95
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:33,280
you want me to speak to? 
When you get to your workplace 

96
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,440
and you open the car of your 
Lamborghini and you hop out. 

97
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,680
I'm. 
I'm a cars person. 

98
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,280
This is just the way I think. 
The door. 

99
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,760
The car of your Lamborghini. 
This is a mighty car. 

100
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,320
It's a heavenly car. 
You don't know what a car really

101
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,680
looks like. 
Yeah, it's a car within a car. 

102
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,120
Oh, you don't think there's 
wheels within wheels? 

103
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,960
Anyone read your Bible? 
Come on, come on. 

104
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,800
Wheels within wheels. 
Anyway, you open the car of the 

105
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:07,320
door of the car and you have the
door of that car and you jump 

106
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,440
out and you about to approach 
your workplace. 

107
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,160
But before you open the door of 
the workplace, you look at the 

108
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,680
signs, you turn around, you look
at the community, all the 

109
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,800
traffic. 
God, you placed me here today. 

110
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,360
You placed me in this place. 
I've got my holy on. 

111
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,040
And you open the door and you 
walk in, right? 

112
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,799
I'm here. 
What do you want me to do, boss?

113
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,520
I can do that and I'll do it so 
well that you will see God in me

114
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:42,960
because I'm a man or I'm a woman
of excellence. 

115
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,480
And when I come to the table, I 
come to the table with the 

116
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,120
Father and with the Son and with
the Holy Spirit. 

117
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,120
I bring more than my giftings. 
I bring the gift giver into this

118
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,920
place. 
You walk in and you go. 

119
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,080
I have a message for you. 
You thought you had a job for 

120
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,080
me. 
Well, I've got a job for you. 

121
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,600
Yeah.

He's a good man of God. 

127
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,600
But he tells his story of when 
he's on a plane and he sits in 

128
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,360
the plane and it's an awkward 
situation. 

129
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,400
There's a stranger beside him. 
He's like, hello. 

130
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,720
Hello. 
It's all Orchid. 

131

Oh, what do you do? 
Oh, I'm a secretary. 

132
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,440
Blah, blah, blah. 
They talk. 

133
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,000
Well, what do you do? 
Wow. 

134
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:48,280
What do I do? 
Well, I work in an intergalactic

135
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,800
society and I'm one of the 
children of the owners of this 

136
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,760
society. 
And what The job that I have is 

137
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,640
about transforming people's 
worlds. 

138
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,040
I have the ability and the 
authority and the commissioning 

139
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,280
to take someone's life and 
transform who they are through 

140
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,920
the power that has been given 
to. 

141
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,880
And he just goes on because he's
got the best job on planet 

142
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,200
Earth. 
Let me tell you, when you have a

143
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:24,240
God perspective, when you really
know who you are, let me tell 

144
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:29,240
you the world around you shifts,
the atmosphere, fear shifts 

145
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:34,680
because you are in the room. 
No wonder why the church prays 

146
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,680
and Bribe has the biggest 
service it's had since its 

147
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:41,920
launch. 
What it shouldn't surprise us 

148
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,640
with the church prayed. 
What else is going to happen 

149
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,440
when the church prays? 
You know what, what, what do you

150
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:54,720
expect that when your child is 
struggling at at school and you 

151
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,800
get the family around the table 
or whatever you do, but with 

152
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,520
before you go to bed and you 
pray with your child that their 

153
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,640
whole school life would from 
that day forward change What? 

154
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,000
What else would you expect but 
that complete change? 

155
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,600
Like we are praying to the 
author and the finisher of all 

156
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,600
things. 
Amen. 

157
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,080
We are the head. 
We're not the tail. 

158
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,200
What that means is that when we 
walk and when we talk, we walk 

159
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,480
and we talk like we're the head,
like we have all authority. 

160
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,600
We have the authority of the 
galactic universes or whatever 

161
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,000
is going on out there. 
We have it's backing and it's 

162
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,320
authority. 
Because where was I when God 

163
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,760
created all things? 
I was a twinkle in his eye. 

164
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,960
And when he formed me, he said, 
and it's all yours, son. 

165
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,560
And I say thank you, father, I'm
going to use it. 

166
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,360
Amen. 
I'm going to spend my life, 

167
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,640
You're going to spend your life 
working out the best ways to use

168
00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:58,640
everything that God has given 
you. 

169
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,960
Let me tell you, you have a 
mission on your life. 

170
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,480
There is no greater call. 
There is no greater 

171
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,520
commissioning, whether you're at
uni, whether you're at home, 

172
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,400
whether you're in the middle of 
an argument, whether you're 

173
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,360
looking in the mirror and you're
thinking, where is my hair? 

174
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,000
Where's it gone? 
No matter your situation, that 

175
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:24,360
just that's just me. 
No matter your situation, when 

176
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,400
you walk out of that room, when 
you get up in the morning, when 

177
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,880
you pray, when you think, when 
you make your coffee, you have 

178
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:36,200
the greatest call on planet 
Earth in the universe. 

179
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,840
There is no greater mission to 
be part of. 

180
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,240
And let me tell you something, 
it's not God's mission. 

181
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:48,520
It's yours and it's mine. 
Amen. 

182
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:53,920
We are Co missionaries with the 
author and the finisher of all 

183
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,480
things. 
Anyway, that was the first one. 

184
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,280
So God looks down at us and he 
sees possibility. 

185
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,400
Could you imagine seeing what 
God sees? 

186
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,760
Like I love, I love worship. 
I love worship. 

187
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,840
When I'm struggling to worship, 
I always go to the same picture 

188
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,840
and I just imagine Jesus on the 
right hand of the throne. 

189
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:26,160
And I imagine that throne, and I
can't even see who's on it 

190
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,680
because of the glory of the 
Lord, the splendor of God. 

191
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,520
And I see Jesus just shimmering 
through the glory of God. 

192
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,200
And then I just look around and 
I just see millions and billions

193
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:44,240
of Saints, like a sea of Saints.
And I have a problem every time 

194
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,600
I'm in worship and I get this 
imagery. 

195
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,800
I don't know whether I should be
kneeling, whether I should be 

196
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,480
standing and rejoicing or 
kneeling and worshipping, or if 

197
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,080
both are the same and I just 
don't know what I am to do. 

198
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,960
But I'm overwhelmed with the 
goodness and the glory of the 

199
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:06,920
Lord the the heavenly 
perspective to be able to see as

200
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,720
God sees you know Jesus. 
We we know that the Bible 

201
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,720
teaches us because doubting 
Thomas in the Bible, you know, 

202
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:20,120
when Jesus rose from the dead. 
The news went around to all of 

203
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,400
the disciples. 
I'm going to see if I can drink 

204
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:30,920
as loud as you this morning, 
Rach, what an amazing word this 

205
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,760
morning. 
Wasn't it fantastic? 

206
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,440
And what was I saying Nothing 
important. 

207
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,560
All right, doubting Thomas. 
So Jesus rose from the dead. 

208
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,800
The news went around and people 
heard before the the disciples 

209
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,000
and and they heard that Jesus 
was walking the streets. 

210
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:55,200
And Thomas said, you know, if I 
see the holes in his hand and in

211
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,840
his feet and in his side, then 
I'll believe. 

212
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,800
And then Jesus walks through a 
wall. 

213
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,840
What do you do in that 
situation? 

214
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:07,160
Right, so Jesus walks through 
the wall and and shows Thomas 

215
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,120
the holes in his hands. 
And so we know that then, you 

216
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,840
know, later in Scripture, it 
tells us that Jesus in bodily 

217
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,400
form ascended into heaven and, 
and everyone there wasn't just 

218
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,280
the disciples that they like, 
lots of people saw him ascend 

219
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,840
into heaven. 
It's actually documented and and

220
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,560
so he ascended into heaven. 
So we know that he is there on 

221
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,560
the right hand of the Father 
right now. 

222
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:42,880
And sometimes in that imagery, 
it's as though we view Jesus 

223
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,960
like pouring out his blood or 
something. 

224
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,960
It's in some forms of suffering,
even though he's in the glory of

225
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,440
God. 
But let me tell you that God, 

226
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,760
that Jesus is in heaven and 
before he can even see you and I

227
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:05,160
on planet earth, he's looking 
through billions of people that 

228
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:10,040
have been redeemed because of 
his sacrifice. 

229
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,360
Does this make sense? 
Let me tell you, it's all good 

230
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,880
news. 
It's all good news from the 

231
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,960
birth. 
Christmas just around the 

232
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,480
corner. 
I can't wait till Christmas 

233
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,360
message is going to say good 
until I just love the Christmas 

234
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,160
Today so many people give their 
lives to God. 

235
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:33,000
It's just what a celebration. 
But from the birth it's good 

236
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,240
news. 
To the cross it was good news, 

237
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:43,400
to his resurrection it was good 
news and to his coming again. 

238
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,680
Let me tell you, this is all 
good news. 

239
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,120
This is all good news for you 
and I. 

240
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,960
To have a God perspective is to 
have a perspective of 

241
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,000
possibilities. 
And if you're struggling with 

242
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,200
that, the prayer is, is God. 
Would you, would you give me a 

243
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,160
new way of seeing? 
Would you give me a new vision 

244
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:12,520
of life? 
Would you give me God eyes so I 

245
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:17,079
can see possibilities and not 
just issues and problems? 

246
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,520
The enemy wants the church to be
more focused on our problems 

247
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:28,560
than on the victor. 
But God has come to set you free

248
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:31,560
and free indeed. 
Amen. 

249
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,600
What that means is freedom 
number one. 

250
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,360
Salvation. 
Freedom number 2 is your daily 

251
00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:41,520
walk in Christ. 
I am free indeed. 

252
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,800
I am free from this indiction, 
indeed. 

253
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,560
I am free from this mindset 
indeed. 

254
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,400
I am free from this mind battle 
indeed. 

255
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,320
I am free from this weakness 
indeed. 

256
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,440
I am free from apathy indeed. 
I am free from a lack of vision 

257
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,680
for my life, indeed. 
Amen. 

258
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:02,640
So this is what it is to be 
really free. 

259
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,320
You can only have that freedom 
in Jesus. 

260
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,520
It's, it's his. 
He's the author of it. 

261
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,320
He is freedom. 
You don't get that freedom 

262
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,480
anywhere else. 
We've already established so 

263
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,840
easily tonight, just so easily 
that God is that our God. 

264
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:24,400
Jesus is Lord of all, right? 
So we've already established 

265
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,400
that. 
That means He is the only answer

266
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,560
for the freedom that we could 
possibly be seeking. 

267
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,280
Does that make sense? 
It's really simple, isn't it? 

268
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:38,600
Takes all complication out. 
God sees not just what has been 

269
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,680
or what is, but what is 
possible. 

270
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,040
When we look at ourselves or 
others, we see what they have 

271
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:53,720
done or what they are doing. 
But God sees the possibilities 

272
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,120
of who we can become and where 
we are going. 

273
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,000
Does this make sense? 
It's flipped. 

274
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,200
We see past and present. 
God sees the possible present 

275
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,000
and future. 
Does that make sense to have 

276
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,280
eyes like God? 
There's a story in the I love 

277
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,640
this story. 
This is a good story. 

278
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,320
I want to keep it to myself. 
Actually, just close this up. 

279
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,160
OK, another story. 
Let's talk about Moses Phineas. 

280
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,120
Can everyone say Phineas? 
There's a story in the Bible, in

281
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:28,800
the book of Numbers, about a man
named Phineas. 

282
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,600
Phineas has got eyes to stop a 
curse that was about to come 

283
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,360
over the Jewish people. 
Israel was about to answer the 

284
00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:39,200
promised land after 40 years in 
the desert. 

285
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,040
Has anyone felt like you've been
dealing with the same thing for 

286
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,560
40 years? 
If that's the case, you need a 

287
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,120
bit of a Phineas spirit in you 
tonight. 

288
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,240
Zimri. 
Everyone says Zimri. 

289
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,680
Who comes up with these names? 
One of the leaders of the tribe 

290
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:00,080
of Simeon laid with a non Jewish
girl, Cosby. 

291
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,360
Cosby. 
I didn't. 

292
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:06,440
I didn't. 
I haven't heard Cosby since I 

293
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,320
was very, very young watching 
that TV program. 

294
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,360
Yeah. 
Anyway, just keep moving. 

295
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:23,760
OK. 
So Zimray laid with a non Jew, a

296
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,960
Jewish girl, a non Jewish girl, 
Cosby. 

297
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,080
Imagine the names of their 
children. 

298
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:41,080
It was one of the Midianite 
King's daughters at the entrance

299
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:46,240
of the Tabernacle. 
OK so basically God told the 

300
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:52,120
Israelites not to have relations
with non Jewish people because 

301
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:56,560
it would because it's there. 
That was sinful nations and the 

302
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:01,280
Jews are God's chosen people, 
but the Jews got to such a place

303
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,200
after 40 years of wondering, and
we get this to this place as 

304
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,320
well, where you even wonder, is 
God actually here with me? 

305
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,960
I'm 45 years God old God, where?
Where have you been for the last

306
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,520
40 years? 
We've seen miracles for that 

307
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,280
person. 
We've seen you, your glory, the 

308
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,480
glory of God on a a mountain. 
And we've we've seen their face,

309
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,800
you know, reconfigured because 
of the glory of God and the 

310
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,640
presence of God. 
We've seen water coming out of 

311
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,480
rocks. 
But God, what have you done for 

312
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:39,000
me? 
This tells me that seeing it in 

313
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,800
someone else's life is not 
enough for me. 

314
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,160
And I'm sure you might agree 
with that. 

315
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,440
It's great that we have miracle 
services and we see undeniable 

316
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,760
miracles. 
But what has God done for me? 

317
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,560
And the enemy loves this state 
of mind because it's the state 

318
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,320
of mind that has thrown away the
possibilities of a God who's 

319
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:14,600
does makes all things new. 
And you no longer have a 

320
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:20,560
possibility perspective of what 
could God do with us if we just 

321
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,080
stayed the course? 
You no longer have that 

322
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,760
perspective, but you have a now 
perspective. 

323
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:33,840
What has God done for me now? 
I feel like this now this has 

324
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,800
happened to me. 
Where is God right now? 

325
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,640
Well, let me tell you, if God 
removed himself, you would know.

326
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:49,280
Read the book of Genesis. 
He holds the world in his hands.

327
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,240
He is the one that separates the
land from the sea. 

328
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,160
He does that. 
He still does that by the way. 

329
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,320
He is the one that holds 
darkness back. 

330
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:11,240
Read the book of Job. 
He holds darkness back from your

331
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:17,240
life. 
This is what we call mercy, the 

332
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:23,400
mercy of God. 
He is holding darkness back so 

333
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,720
that I can sort stuff out. 
He's doing that for us. 

334
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,280
Before you're a believer, before
you're a Christian, He is even 

335
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,800
surrounding you, man, you can 
get real deep in theology on 

336
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,200
this, but he is surrounding 
people. 

337
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,000
That's why they're hearing this 
message may be here tonight. 

338
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,160
And you don't know Jesus and 
you're wondering where is he? 

339
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,600
Well, he's all around you right 
now. 

340
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,880
He's protecting you because 
there is a devourer out there. 

341
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,680
He has no real authority except 
for what he's given to him. 

342
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:07,120
And we declared before that 
where was he before God made 

343
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:11,560
him. 
But he is a devourer. 

344
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:17,840
He's just there, ready to go, 
being held back, ready to go to 

345
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,840
devour our lives. 
Where is God? 

346
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:31,720
He is everywhere for you. 
Our very breath is God's grace, 

347
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,560
sustaining love, our very 
breath. 

348
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,120
Well, why doesn't He just take 
me then? 

349
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,320
I've had enough. 
Because He still sees 

350
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:48,400
possibilities for you see, when 
he, when he formed you and me, 

351
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,160
he formed us with an immense 
abundance of possibilities. 

352
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,040
And the deeper we get into him, 
the more layers we RIP off. 

353
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,520
It's like the giant just comes 
out. 

354
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,640
I feel like I need to go to the 
gym right now. 

355
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,080
The more you press, the more the
giant comes out. 

356
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,720
Anyway, another story for 
another day. 

357
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:27,400
So here we had an Israelite lane
with a non Jewish woman right at

358
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:33,280
in the tent where all the elders
of Israel were is a mockery. 

359
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,040
A complete mockery. 
Phineas. 

360
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,240
I could just imagine it. 
Cups. 

361
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,480
They used to have cups of tea. 
I could imagine the camp of the 

362
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,640
elders sitting around on a box 
because they used to make boxes.

363
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,080
And anyway, this is my 
imagination. 

364
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,320
I'm just sharing a little bit of
the enemy. 

365
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,160
And so here's Phineas. 
He's all the elders of Israel. 

366
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,040
They're all way holy. 
Phineas have his cup of tea. 

367
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,000
You thought this was the UK 
thing? 

368
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,040
This is the Israelite thing. 
And so here's Phineas having his

369
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:21,080
cup of tea, herds a little, 
here's a little hustle in the 

370
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:28,480
tent just over there. 
And he stands up and he says, 

371
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:34,280
how dare you in the House of the
Lord, grabs his spear. 

372
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,800
And the Bible says straight 
through both of them. 

373
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,880
Now you might go, well, that's a
bit nasty. 

374
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,840
It was actually a legal right 
for him to do that in those 

375
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:54,800
days, because back in those days
the statutes of the Lord were 

376
00:26:54,800 --> 00:27:04,770
supreme. 
A wonder in our lives of the 

377
00:27:04,770 --> 00:27:14,320
things of the Lord Supreme. 
Would you be prepared to get a 

378
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:20,280
Phineas spirit inside of you to 
pick up a spear tonight and ram 

379
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,080
it through a few things in your 
life? 

380
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,480
Well, that doesn't line up with 
the Word of God. 

381
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:34,800
Who cares about my cup of tea? 
Well, that addiction, where did 

382
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,600
that even come from? 
I can't even remember when that 

383
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:46,120
was formed, but Oh well, would 
we get a bit of a Phineas spirit

384
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:56,520
in US tonight and say, As for me
in my house, it's that's an 

385
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,440
interesting, interesting. 
I love what Pastor Mel brought 

386
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,280
out about this a month or so 
ago, a few weeks ago. 

387
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,440
But As for me in my house, this 
is my house. 

388
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,080
Welcome to my house. 
He's he's Graham again. 

389
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,240
And over here I have my 
Christmas tree room. 

390
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,840
Over here I have my musicianship
room. 

391
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,880
I love it, love it, love it. 
Over here is my cup of tea room.

392
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,240
And this is my my full front 
room. 

393
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:41,680
What everyone sees of me, we 
don't say, As for me in my 

394
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:47,160
house, we will serve the Lord. 
And so everyone looks at me like

395
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:53,440
I'm serving and I'm doing a good
job, but I'm not prepared to put

396
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:58,480
a spear through my idol music 
worship and playing bass or 

397
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,160
whatever it might be. 
Cars. 

398
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,320
I'm just trying to show you 
Graham's world, right? 

399
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,960
We're all prepared to put a 
spear through the cup of tea 

400
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,080
room. 
What's with that anyway? 

401
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,000
But you might not be prepared to
put a spear through Christmas 

402
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,680
tree room. 
Do you see what I'm saying? 

403
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,000
When we are prepared to declare 
As for me in my house, we what 

404
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,640
we are really saying is this 
door, it's opened. 

405
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,800
It's free for the Lord to access
this door. 

406
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,960
It's open, free for the Lord to 
access this door of my life. 

407
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:42,480
It's Oh, OK. 
Yeah, Rachel preached about that

408
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:49,160
room. 
But I I do have a Phineas spirit

409
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,280
inside of me. 
You know what? 

410
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,440
I'm just going to do it. 
I'm in good mind right now. 

411
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,760
I'm going to open that and I 
walk away. 

412
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,560
Just say God just gently with me
and he goes, the doors open, let

413
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:02,720
me in. 
Amen. 

414
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,920
Amen. 
So what do your eyes normally 

415
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,920
see? 
We can see people's faults and 

416
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,320
sins, our own faults and sins, 
or have God eyes to see the 

417
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:20,360
possibilities like Phineas. 
To have God eyes is to see what 

418
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,280
is happening now and to have a 
perspective of possibility for 

419
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:29,200
your future. 
Albert Einstein Mazie man, time 

420
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,080
is relative. 
It's only worth depends upon 

421
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:40,280
what we do as it's passing. 
If we have eyes of judgement, I 

422
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,240
argue we are devaluing the time 
given to us. 

423
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,920
You can quote that. 
Put pasta Gray underneath. 

424
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,480
To have a heavenly perspective 
of life requires placing value 

425
00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:01,040
upon our God-given time. 
Let me tell you if you really 

426
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,840
grass hold. 
This is why Mel and I are we 

427
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,880
have no qualms at all about 
things like finances, asking the

428
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,720
church to give. 
You're not given to us. 

429
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,240
We don't we don't benefit at all
from it. 

430
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,080
But what we We have no qualms 
asking. 

431
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,920
We give, so we do it too. 
We have no qualms asking people 

432
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:28,200
to serve at all. 
We have no issue at all asking 

433
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,120
people to go a bit above and 
beyond. 

434
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,840
No issue at all. 
We look after people so they 

435
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,240
don't burn out, but we've got no
problems asking. 

436
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,880
When you really grab a hold that
we are part of the greatest 

437
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:46,080
mission, you can't afford to 
allow a second go by without 

438
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:51,720
intentionality upon it. 
You can't afford to live another

439
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,200
10 years without open the 
Christmas tree door. 

440
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,320
We just can't afford that. 
Your life is too precious. 

441
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,480
You are too precious. 
God values you so much, He said.

442
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,880
I need you to fulfill, to help 
me fulfill the mission. 

443
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,400
Isn't that amazing? 
I love that Jesus left. 

444
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:23,760
Because it shows to us how much 
he cares because he left, 

445
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,200
because he is like, I can't do 
this on my own. 

446
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,800
I'm in one place at any time. 
Holy Spirit, go and use my 

447
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,000
people. 
They're all over planet Earth. 

448
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:38,760
When, when they say yes to you, 
Holy Spirit, this unity, we will

449
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:44,120
flood planet Earth with the 
transformative power of God. 

450
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:50,200
We will flood our our community 
with the your streets man, what 

451
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,160
we did on Friday. 
So pal, who enjoyed that? 

452
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,360
I really enjoyed that. 
There's a man mowing his lawn 

453
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,920
and I'm like out with a bottle. 
Please don't call the police. 

454
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,120
And then it started raining. 
So I'm under a tree. 

455
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,280
God, just give me fire. 
Literally I was like, God, I 

456
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,440
need 5 minutes to do that street
and then to run home. 

457
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,200
But anyway, God didn't give me 
the 5 minutes. 

458
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,560
And I was thinking about that. 
It was like God's like what? 

459
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,360
Do you not know what you're 
praying for or, or what you know

460
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,280
you want 5 minutes now? 
But before you wanted me to rain

461
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:30,360
the heavens down like I'm sorry.
So anyway, I was under a tree 

462
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,080
for about 4 minutes and I'm 
like, you know what, just 

463
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,080
embrace it Grey. 
So I did, I got a bit of Phineas

464
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:43,360
about me. 
So time is too precious. 

465
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,760
Precious to be spent on the 
problems, the lack, the hurt, 

466
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,480
the shame, the sin, the waiting.
Let me tell you, all those 

467
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,920
things need to be dealt with, 
they need to be worked through, 

468
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,480
they need to be healed in our 
lives. 

469
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,600
But we need to get to it because
time is you. 

470
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,480
You are just too precious. 
Phineas saw these things. 

471
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,600
But Phineas had focus on the 
promise and the possibilities. 

472
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:16,239
The psalmist in Psalms 102 said,
Oh my God, do not take me away 

473
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:21,159
in the midst of my days. 
Your years are throughout all 

474
00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:26,080
generations of old. 
You laid the foundation of the 

475
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,080
earth, and the heavens are the 
work of Your hands. 

476
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,760
They will perish, but you will 
endure. 

477
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:37,840
Yes, they will all grow old, 
like a garment, like a cloak. 

478
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,600
You will change them and they 
will be changed, but you are the

479
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,520
same and your years will have no
ends. 

480
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:52,840
What we do with our years has an
eternal effect on other people. 

481
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,000
Amen. 
I have two lollies on platform 

482
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:05,920
1's a backup. 
If you look at this, if you look

483
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,280
at this right, it's just your 
faith is outstanding. 

484
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,640
If you look at this lolly as 
your world, your whole life, 

485
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,480
your existence of around 90 
years, if you're my dad, you've 

486
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,440
got 10 more. 
The writing on the packet of the

487
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,320
things you focus your life on, 
there is writing on. 

488
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,400
I know you can't see it, but 
this, this packet has writing 

489
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,920
all around it. 
The writing on the packet are 

490
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,080
the things that we often focus 
on. 

491
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:49,800
It says here my hurts. 
That past event. 

492
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,920
You remember Grey, That's what 
it says. 

493
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,600
It's crazy. 
It's like a sentence. 

494
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:02,200
It has a person's name, but I 
won't say that person because 

495
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,960
I'm struggling with that. 
It has some words that were 

496
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:13,240
spoken over me when I was a kid,
things that happened. 

497
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:16,920
There's some good stuff here. 
I had a victory when I was about

498
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,360
20 years old. 
It was nice. 

499
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:27,080
I won the lottery once, spent it
all 15 Mustangs don't really go 

500
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:33,480
any faster. 
There's this other one, love, 

501
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:40,520
it, turned out fake. 
We wrap ourselves up with these 

502
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:49,120
types of things, our hurts, our 
shames, but we think we're OK 

503
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,040
because we have some wins along 
the way. 

504
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,840
But they're earthly winnings. 
They're not satisfying wins. 

505
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,880
They're just like, of course you
won the lottery. 

506
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,520
You've been doing it for 30 
years. 

507
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,040
You've got to win at some point,
right? 

508
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,400
But you spent the more than what
you won. 

509
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:10,600
So it's, it's, it's life. 
It's life satisfaction, things 

510
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,440
that don't endure. 
That's what how we look at our 

511
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,400
lives. 
We look at the wrapping and we 

512
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,440
read. 
We read our scripts. 

513
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:27,160
We play these over in our minds.
Soon as someone bit of road rage

514
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,920
happens on the way to work, our 
perspective changes. 

515
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,920
No longer possibilities, but 
what? 

516
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,680
What's not possible? 
We just reread the real. 

517
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:46,400
We let her flick around again. 
But if we throw our lives for a 

518
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,840
moment on the floor, we now have
a God perspective. 

519
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,880
Those defining moments that you 
focus your whole earthly life 

520
00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:03,400
on, they're still there. 
They're still there, but now 

521
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,920
there's so much more in the 
scheme of life. 

522
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,760
There is family, there's 
existence, there's purpose, 

523
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:14,080
there's possibilities, there's 
there's so much more in the 

524
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,320
scheme of life. 
But I'm still wrapped. 

525
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:22,000
But really, if we could have a 
God perspective, we would see so

526
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,440
much we we generally focus our 
lives on the words on the 

527
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,480
rapper. 
Yet there is so much more to 

528
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:35,240
obtain if we could let go and 
allow God because He sees us 

529
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:38,600
truly and He sees our 
possibilities. 

530
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,240
But sometimes we just need to 
pick our lives up for a moment. 

531
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:54,400
Unwrap it. 
God has this amazing ability 

532
00:38:55,280 --> 00:39:00,320
that when he looks at you and I,
he doesn't look at us through 

533
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,320
the wrapper. 
He looks at us through the 

534
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,880
blood. 
What does he see? 

535
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,320
He sees a clean slate every 
morning. 

536
00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:17,160
Every morning. 
You thought, oh bad Christian, I

537
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:22,640
sinned yesterday. 
Every morning, a new beginning 

538
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,360
for you. 
It's all right. 

539
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,280
I got knocked down. 
I'm up. 

540
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,560
New beginning. 
I'm here to do it again. 

541
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,440
I lost the vision for a moment. 
It's all right. 

542
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,440
I'm up. 
Thank you God for your grace. 

543
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:37,160
But I'm I've got a new beginning
every day. 

544
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,360
It's a blank canvas. 
You know what that means? 

545
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:46,280
You can rewrite your story. 
And when you have Jesus with you

546
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,560
and you see yourself as God sees
you, you start writing a new 

547
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,400
story. 
You start wrapping yourself not 

548
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:59,200
only with possibilities, but 
fulfilled fulfillment of what 

549
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,600
God has done in you and through 
you. 

550
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,360
You start putting some of that 
on there. 

551
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,640
Start looking at yourself every 
day before you walk in that door

552
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,960
through these. 
Oh well God, I'm really nervous 

553
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,760
today. 
Bit scared or this happened and 

554
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,400
that happened. 
But I remember yesterday when 

555
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,120
you came through for me. 
I remember when I spoke to that 

556
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,280
person on the street and they 
actually said, yes, I would like

557
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,680
to know Jesus. 
I remember, you see? 

558
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,240
See how the rappers starting to 
change? 

559
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:36,520
The possibilities of your life 
are now endless because you now 

560
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,760
see you as the Father sees you. 
Amen. 

561
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,440
I don't want to chew it with the
bite. 

562
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,720
To see as God sees is to see the
possibilities. 

563
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,600
Michael. 
Big name says. 

564
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,160
How do you say that? 
Elsler? 

565
00:40:57,720 --> 00:40:58,880
I think that's it. 
Elsler. 

566
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,520
The bad news is time flies. 
The good news is you're the 

567
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:08,440
pilot. 
Ouch. 

568
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,040
I think that's awesome. 
I'm the pilot. 

569
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,640
You know what? 
You can change direction here 

570
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,280
tonight. 
There's no one else dictating to

571
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,120
your life. 
You actually do have the 

572
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,560
authority over your life. 
You have free will over your 

573
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,080
life. 
You have say over your life. 

574
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:30,120
You have power over your life. 
You have authority over your 

575
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,240
life. 
And when you line that up with 

576
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:36,400
Jesus Christ, nothing is 
impossible for you because of 

577
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:37,720
God in you. 
Amen. 

578
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,880
You are the pilot. 
Let's change the direction, God 

579
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,200
of possibility of love, that 
when God looks at our lives as 

580
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,840
Christians, he sees us as 
victors. 

581
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,760
He sees us as spiritual giant. 
Any spiritual giants in the 

582
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,400
place tonight, He sees you as a 
spiritual giant. 

583
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,760
He sees the fruit of his Son's 
redemption. 

584
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:05,440
I love that everything His Son 
did, He sees it fulfilled in you

585
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,880
and I. 
He sees forgiven. 

586
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:13,400
He sees a child of the Lord God 
Almighty and He sees you washed 

587
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,360
clean. 
This is because He sees us with 

588
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:22,200
the pure eternal blood of Jesus 
Christ that shed on the cross 

589
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:29,280
that was and is and is to come. 
His blood is washing all the 

590
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:34,560
time and will always wash us 
until the return of Jesus. 

591
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:39,800
And I'll just finish with this. 
Romans 47 says blessed are those

592
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:45,520
who lawless deeds are forgiven 
and whose sins are covered. 

593
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,680
Lift your hand if your sins are 
covered in this place here 

594
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,440
tonight, Amen. 
Isn't that? 

595
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:54,320
Isn't that reason to lift up the
name of Jesus to declare him? 

596
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,640
And you know what? 
You've listened to this great 

597
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:00,520
message. 
And maybe you're not in the same

598
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,440
same way of thinking as some of 
us might be here tonight. 

599
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:10,160
You might be like Pastor Gray. 
I'm hearing your words, but my 

600
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:16,080
world is so saturated with sin. 
Is my, my thinking, my mind. 

601
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:21,680
It feels like it's cloudy. 
I feel like I'm troubled all the

602
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,680
time. 
I can't even think straight. 

603
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:30,000
I can't even think of who I 
could be in my future. 

604
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,320
My life is all about getting 
through my day or my week. 

605
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,760
Maybe you're looking at the end 
of 2025 and you're like, thank 

606
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:44,440
you God, bring it faster. 
And just to get through life is 

607
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:49,040
a is a serious thing. 
Let me tell you, we've declared 

608
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,800
tonight the one who clears the 
vision. 

609
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,760
Why? 
Because He made it in the first 

610
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,400
time in first place. 
He is the one that can give you 

611
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,560
the back that possibility of 
what life could be for you. 

612
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:06,200
He is the one that will break 
the power of everything that 

613
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:10,080
clouds your mind. 
He is the one that has the power

614
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:14,320
to break judgement from others 
and self judgement as well. 

615
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,920
He is a redeeming God and wants 
to redeem you tonight. 

616
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,080
And if you've never given your 
life to Jesus, you have to run 

617
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,840
to Him tonight. 
There is no other way. 

618
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,320
There is no other God. 
There is no other situation. 

619
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,560
There is no other message, there

00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:36,440
There is nothing out there that 
is greater than the invitation 

621
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,280
that I am sending here tonight. 
Because the invitation I am 

622
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:45,720
sending tonight is the one is to
the one who was there before all

623
00:44:45,720 --> 00:44:48,680
things. 
And he looks down from his 

624
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,040
throne in heaven actually does. 
I'm not talking fairy tale. 

625
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,120
The evidence is all around. 
The Book of Job tells us. 

626
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,920
That's where I just got my 
sayings tonight from. 

627
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,520
Where were you when the rainbow 
was from? 

628
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,040
Where were you when the planets 
were put in place? 

629
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:04,840
Where were you when the universe
was made? 

630
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,800
Where were you when the waters 
were separated from the land? 

631
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:12,120
It's all from the Book of Job. 
And in the book of Job, it just 

632
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:16,680
shows that God is the author and
the finisher and that everything

633
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,760
in our life is worth 
surrendering to him because God 

634
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,040
then restore Job. 
It's a great story to read, and 

635
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,400
God wants to restore your life 
here tonight.
