Well, thank you very much to 9 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,040 Pastor Terence and Pastor Julia for the honor to be able to 10 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,240 share this morning here at Love Quest Church. 11 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,320 It's always a blessing to be able to share in this house. 12 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,840 That's our house, but the house that God called you to build and 13 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,880 in faith and obedience, you stepped up and did the call. 14 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,320 Thank you so much. Thank you. 15 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,000 Who remembers our message from last Sunday? 16 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,040 Do you remember what it was called? 17 00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:21,480 Count them up, count them up. We're counting up the goodness 18 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,440 of God, right? We're taking time to remember 19 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,000 who this this week found themselves taking time to 20 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,520 remember the goodness of God, right? 21 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,080 Taking that time to remember how God has moved, maybe in your 22 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:47,280 life, maybe in your your family's life and how God's 23 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,240 goodness follows us. I want to review real quickly a 24 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,240 few things that Pastor Terence talked about last Sunday as it 25 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,600 then leaps into what we're sharing today. 26 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,680 If you remember in Luke chapter 17, there's a story of the how 27 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,160 many leopards were there? Do you remember 10, right? 28 00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:16,480 And how many came back? One 10 received, one was 29 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,440 grateful, 1 turned back to remember. 30 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:27,520 In Luke 1715, it says one of them, when he saw that he was 31 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:40,240 healed, he turned back. He turned back, he turned back, 32 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,320 glorifying and praising and honouring God. 33 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,600 With a loud voice. You say loud voice with a loud 34 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:53,120 voice. Remember from last week, loud 35 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,600 voice. There's something about how he 36 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,120 declared the praises of God. There's something about how he 37 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,880 shared the goodness of God. It was with a loud voice. 38 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,000 He declared it. It came out of his mouth. 39 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,760 It wasn't just a thought. I'm thinking how good God is. 40 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,160 Did you get that? No, of course you didn't. 41 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,840 You could unless you read my maybe you read my mind, I don't 42 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,960 know. But but there's something about 43 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,600 declaring. How do others hear the goodness 44 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,120 of God without your declaring? There's a glorifying and 45 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,800 praising and honoring God with a loud voice and he lay face down 46 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,480 with a Jesus feet thanking him over and over. 47 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,280 He was a Samaritan. Pastor Terry has talked about 48 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,680 last week. He says there's a Samaritan. 49 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,440 He was an outsider. And yet the outsider was the one 50 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:57,520 who recognized the goodness of God and came back with gratitude 51 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,360 and Thanksgiving of heart. It was that returning back. 52 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,000 And we were encouraged to turn back and remember. 53 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,680 Remember last week we took moments to pause. 54 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,240 Remember that thing God saved you from? 55 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,040 Take time to pause. Remember the things that he kept 56 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,200 you from, to thank Him for those open doors, but also to thank 57 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:36,640 Him for the closed doors. And we take took these moments 58 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,160 to remember because in our remembrance of the goodness of 59 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,200 God, we can put a praise on our lips. 60 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,200 Pastor Tara said. When you remember who God has 61 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,560 been, you regain confidence in who God will be. 62 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,240 In our remembering of what he has done, we remember that he is 63 00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:09,840 able. And now in my current situation, 64 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,800 I have confidence in who he will be on my behalf. 65 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:25,960 Count them up, Count them up. Count up the blessings. 66 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:34,120 Count up the ways guys moves. Yeah, there's that old hymn for 67 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,840 this is this is for some of those hymn lovers out there. 68 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,800 Thank you. Thank you, older John. 69 00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:46,440 Count your blessings. Name them 1 by 1. 70 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,920 Count your blessings, see what God has done. 71 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,840 Count your blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise 72 00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:58,360 you what the Lord has done. Come on, see, this is that 73 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:04,520 taking stock, taking a moment to remember the goodness of God, 74 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,520 how he's moved in your life, how he's worked in your life, the 75 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:15,040 goodness of God, of how He's given us salvation and peace and 76 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,200 love. A love that I can't conjure of 77 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,360 my own understanding is a love that's been poured out into my 78 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,840 heart by God. If I just take a moment to think 79 00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:33,560 about that, to consider the times where I had peace, when 80 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,680 peace didn't make sense. Count your blessings, count all 81 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:44,520 of them. Rack them up, put them, put a 82 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,720 memorial on them, put a remembrance to them, and it'll 83 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,680 surprise you how much God has been in your detail. 84 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,400 Why does it? Why does that him say it'll 85 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,920 surprise you? Because we don't always take 86 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:07,720 that time to remember, Pastor Tarrant said. 87 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,440 Some of the greatest miracles in your life are the disasters that 88 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:21,360 God prevented. That near miss that God 89 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:29,560 intervened in that business deal that you thought you'd missed 90 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,880 out on, but God was protecting you. 91 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,960 The thing God prevented in his kindness and his love. 92 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,920 Pastor Tara says we look forward with hope, but we look backward 93 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:52,800 with gratitude. We are not turning back. 94 00:07:53,240 --> 00:08:00,720 We are building a memorial. See a memorial. 95 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,760 There's memorials in different parts of the city to different 96 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,320 things that occurred. And sometimes there's like a War 97 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,520 Memorial. And some of those are for wars 98 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,920 over 100 years old. Some our memories are even 99 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,080 further back than that. But the purpose of the memorial 100 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:32,200 is to be a lasting reminder. And in your life, we look back 101 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,720 to have a memorial of the goodness of God. 102 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:43,520 That means it's a lasting reminder, an enduring reminder 103 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,640 that God is more than able so we don't forget. 104 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:59,200 A memorial has time connected to it and so we take the time to 105 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,120 remember so that we have a memorial, but we also take the 106 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:07,840 time to tell the goodness of God to help others have that same 107 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:13,720 memorial. Psalm 103, verse 2 says bless 108 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,200 the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. 109 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,080 Why did the psalmist have to remind himself? 110 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,800 He had to say, I'm going to bless God and I'm not going to 111 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,360 forget. I'm going to remember all the 112 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,440 good things God has given, all the ways God has moved in my 113 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,920 life, all the way He's preserved me and protected me. 114 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,280 I will bless God. I will give a Thanksgiving to 115 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,480 God, and I will. I will tell my soul, Don't you 116 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,760 forget it. Don't you forget what He's done. 117 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,560 Don't you forget how he's moved? Don't you forget it. 118 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,840 You keep a memorial. You keep that remembrance of 119 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,240 God. You keep that position of 120 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,280 remembering. And then Pastor Terence says 121 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,880 recognition triggered remembrance, and praise always 122 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,520 begins with recognition. We're still in review. 123 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,800 Just seeing that recognition triggered remembrance. 124 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,640 When he recognized that he had been healed, it triggered A 125 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,840 remembrance to turn back to Jesus. 126 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,800 And in the turning back, he brought with him his praise. 127 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:48,120 One of the things we have to remember is who God is. 128 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,440 In the scriptures there are some great descriptions of the glory 129 00:10:53,440 --> 00:11:00,120 and immensity of who God is. Ezekiel sees God on a cloud, and 130 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,840 the glory of God is like a rainbow light, and he is 131 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,880 powerful in presence. In Revelation 1 we see Jesus, 132 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:15,400 the resurrected Jesus, and his voice is like the great waters. 133 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,960 His hair is white as wool, his eyes ablaze with fire, His 134 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:28,040 tongue is as a sword. This is the greatness of the God 135 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,440 that we serve. Yes, he came as a baby. 136 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,680 Yes, he came that we might have life, and yes, he died, but in 137 00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:42,480 his resurrection he walks in power in complete fulfilment of 138 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,600 what he was called to do. So we might have life. 139 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,280 So we have a praise from that position of recognizing who God 140 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:58,520 is. And so today we're going to talk 141 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:03,200 about fuel them up. Fuel them up. 142 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,680 We did count them up and now we're going to talk about fuel 143 00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:13,120 them up. How do we fuel? 144 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,680 How do we provide fuel for our faith, fuel in our life, fuel 145 00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:22,400 through to be able to walk out the call that we've been given. 146 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:31,920 The first step is remember. I want to give another example 147 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,480 of remembrance. And it's actually a church, a 148 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:43,040 church in the New Testament. There's a Church of Ephesus. 149 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:53,920 And around 60 AD Paul writes to the church at Ephesus and we 150 00:12:53,920 --> 00:13:00,880 call it the book Ephesians. And he says some amazing stuff. 151 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,160 It's one of my favorite books to read, but I want to, I picked 152 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:09,000 out a few verses that I want to go over that you can hear hear 153 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,120 the tone and the message that Paul is writing here in 60 AD to 154 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,440 the Ephesians. He says in Ephesians 115 for 155 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,120 this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord 156 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:27,960 Jesus and your love for all God's people, man. 157 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,880 They had love that for God's people. 158 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,880 That was now their their reputation. 159 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,200 I hear Paul Paul administered there over time and and had 160 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:47,000 actually had had an X20 his his last visit with them. 161 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,480 But this is about a couple of years after that when he writes 162 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,840 this letter and he says, man, I'm hearing of your love for all 163 00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,080 God's people in Ephesians 2, four it says, but God being so 164 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,200 very rich in mercy because of his great and wonderful love 165 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,800 with which he loved us. They were hearing this from 166 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,920 Paul. Man, he loves you so much. 167 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:20,000 There's so much love for you, this great love with which he 168 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:26,800 loved you. Ephesians 317 to 19 is a part of 169 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,320 a prayer that that Paul writes in Ephesians. 170 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,600 He says, then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you 171 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,280 trust in him. Your roots will go down into 172 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,480 God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to 173 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,400 understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how 174 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:52,120 high, how deep his love is. And may you experience, I love 175 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,880 that. May you experience the love of 176 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,920 God, though it is too great to understand fully. 177 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,520 Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life 178 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,080 and power that comes from God. Wow. 179 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,240 Can you imagine reading that in your, your local message? 180 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,320 This is a letter written by Paul. 181 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:18,840 And here they are standing up in church saying, Oh yeah, love 182 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,880 that's that's deeply rooted and to know his love is so deep and 183 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,960 so wide and we are made complete in all the fullness of life and 184 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,120 power that comes from God. What a promise. 185 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,600 Ephesians 5 verse one to two. It says imitate God therefore in 186 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,800 everything you do because you are his dear children. 187 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:44,200 Live a life filled with following the example of Christ. 188 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:49,440 He loved us and offered Himself as a sacrifice for us. 189 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,560 A pleasing aroma to God. Wow. 190 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,800 And then these are the last two verses of the book. 191 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,040 Peace be with you, dear brothers and sisters, and May God the 192 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:08,240 Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you love with faithfulness, 193 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:15,280 and may God's grace be eternally upon all who love our Lord Jesus 194 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:20,920 Christ. Now, have you seen a pattern in 195 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:26,240 these verses? Did they do a good enough job to 196 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,920 show you the pattern of these verses? 197 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,640 OK, just checking, just checking the love of God. 198 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,240 And they had love for others. And as I was looking, I was 199 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,840 like, wow, there's the word love seems to have been put in the 200 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,600 Ephesians more than even like Corinthians or or or Galatians 201 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,640 or Philippians. He's talking about love. 202 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,040 He's reminding them of the love of God. 203 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,480 He's excited how they're expressing love to others and 204 00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:03,320 have love for all the Saints. And so around 35 years later. 205 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,400 About 40 years is usually considered a generation. 206 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:23,280 Jesus is speaking in the Book of Revelation, Revelation chapter 2 207 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:28,800 and verse one. The Jesus says, write this 208 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,920 letter to the Angel of the church in Ephesus. 209 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,200 This is the message from the one who holds the seven stars in his 210 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,800 right hand, the one who walks among the seven gold lampstands. 211 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,000 In the end of Revelation One, we learned that the lampstands were 212 00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:52,160 the churches, were a symbol of the churches, He says. 213 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:59,240 I know all the things you do, you're doing. 214 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,160 These are the works you're doing. 215 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:09,800 I know those things you do. I have seen your hard work and 216 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,240 your patient endurance. I know you don't tolerate evil 217 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,040 people. You've examined the claims of 218 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,240 those who say they're apostles but are not. 219 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,480 You've discovered they're liars. Oh, these guys were good. 220 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,080 They had discernment. They worked hard. 221 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:35,600 They had patient endurance. They could. 222 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,840 They could see through people who didn't belong. 223 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,160 They had discernment and understanding. 224 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,200 You have patiently suffered for me without quitting. 225 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,600 That's good, right? That's good. 226 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,360 But I have this complaint against you. 227 00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:02,880 You don't love me or each other. What happened? 228 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:17,590 What happened 35 years later, 35 years later, you're known for 229 00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:19,670 loving the sense. You're known for love. 230 00:19:20,430 --> 00:19:22,470 You have a reputation to love others. 231 00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:28,630 And here, 35 years later, to that church, that same church, 232 00:19:33,070 --> 00:19:37,240 you don't love me or each other as you did at first. 233 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,400 Look how far you've fallen. This is 35 years later. 234 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,040 Turn back to me and do the works you did at first. 235 00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:01,400 If you don't repent, I will come and remove your lamp stand from 236 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:12,240 its place among the churches. But he's calling them and 237 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,080 saying, remember, Remember where you were. 238 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,600 Remember that first love you had. 239 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:26,640 Turn back and remember. Yeah, that's right. 240 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,800 That's what Paul wrote to us. That's right. 241 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,880 I remember. He said we're rooted in love. 242 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,360 Actually, a call is love. I remember. 243 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:49,840 I remember my parents saying, I remember my grandparents told 244 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:55,160 the story about I'm not going to forget that. 245 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,840 Here's the beautiful part of this, he says, Look how far 246 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,960 you've fallen. That means you can get back up. 247 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,960 Somebody doesn't give you a warning because they want you to 248 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,880 get injured, right? Mum and dad don't say don't run 249 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,880 on the road because they don't care for you. 250 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,920 They warn you because they want you to be whole. 251 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:38,440 And so Jesus is saying here you've fallen, come back, return 252 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,680 back, repent, come back, turn around and remember that love. 253 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,920 Remember he's calling to a whole church. 254 00:21:48,920 --> 00:22:01,090 Remember, look at those things you did at 1st and remember, see 255 00:22:01,090 --> 00:22:03,930 what had caught them, what had what had positioned them. 256 00:22:04,450 --> 00:22:06,290 You know, they were so good at the hard work. 257 00:22:07,010 --> 00:22:14,680 They were so good at discerning and judging and and yet they'd 258 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:22,840 lost that love and their turn back was a callback to love. 259 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,880 They've turned back to remember as a callback to a love walk, a 260 00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:37,680 callback to wholeness, a callback to gratitude, a 261 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:44,720 callback to praise, a call back to walk in that love of God that 262 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,480 had been shed abroad in their hearts. 263 00:22:50,120 --> 00:23:06,210 And so we remember how you remember, stalls you or 264 00:23:06,210 --> 00:23:13,370 launches you. Key here is how how you 265 00:23:13,370 --> 00:23:24,000 remember. You ever met people said this a 266 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,320 little earlier with some people, but have you ever met those 267 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:33,160 people who the best memories that they're they're reminisces 268 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,120 that when they're thinking of the best times of their life is 269 00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:41,000 like back in high school. Those were my years. 270 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:47,960 Yes, I was on the the the hockey team or the football team. 271 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,920 That was the best time of my life. 272 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,200 My best friend, my best connections. 273 00:23:52,400 --> 00:24:01,160 That was that was the day. But they get stuck, Stuck in 274 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,000 their old habits, stuck in their old preparations, stuck in what 275 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:12,040 they thought was the best life, stuck in this position where 276 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,840 that was the light, that was the time their best memories were 277 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:23,920 from 30 years ago, 20 years ago. They they got stalled in their 278 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:31,480 remembering. Have you ever heard other 279 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,520 believers and perhaps those who've been a little bit older 280 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,000 and say, oh, I remember when we had this guy and this guy and 281 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,240 this happened. Oh, those were great days back 282 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,160 then. I wish I was back there. 283 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,480 See, saying there, those were good days, that's fine. 284 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,280 But they're saying, I wish I was back there means you're stalled 285 00:24:54,280 --> 00:25:00,240 in that time. You're stalled in that 286 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,240 revelation, that understanding. That's what's got you stuck. 287 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,640 But how you remember is important because if you 288 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:17,560 remember that, and so those were great days and now I'm here and 289 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,960 God's more than able, that launches you. 290 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:27,440 Your memory then launches you. Remembrance is not a call to 291 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:37,390 nostalgia. It is fuel to ignite belief when 292 00:25:37,390 --> 00:25:41,880 we remember the things God did. So I took some time this this 293 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,040 week after the great message we have from Pastor Terrance on 294 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:49,560 Sunday and had a time to talk with my parents and share some 295 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,640 stories and hear some stories again. 296 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,880 And some of them actually one of them I don't think I ever 297 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,560 remember hearing before. That's the funny fun thing about 298 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,640 talking to old people who've been around a bit. 299 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,400 You know, it's like, OK, I've lived with you for a long time. 300 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,720 I don't even remember that story. 301 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:10,360 OK, and they're sharing share the story with about my Gran on 302 00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:13,480 my dad's side and in her late 60s. 303 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:18,160 She said, OK, well, you know, my kids are gone and and doing 304 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,400 their thing and everything. So OK, I'll Lord, what do you 305 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:26,040 want us to do? And she had raised my dad and 306 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,840 his his brother as a single mother and just had picked up 307 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,400 jobs everywhere she could get to to make things me. 308 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:38,040 And she got connected with a pastor who who would take a 309 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,200 group of people and they'd have to get around the world tickets 310 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,160 when you used to be able to get a round the world ticket and 311 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,840 there would be different stops along the way. 312 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,720 And it's usually about a group of 15 people. 313 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,280 She said, OK, Lord, I'm going to do that. 314 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,320 I'm going to do that. So what all they had to do is 315 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,800 they had to provide the the ticket by a certain day and then 316 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,840 they could be a part of it. And this one time she had picked 317 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,800 up work as a nanny and other things, and but she was short a 318 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,160 certain amount of money, quite a bit of money, and the money was 319 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,880 due the next day. And so she said, OK, Lord, if 320 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,000 you want me there, you know where I am. 321 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:26,040 That night there's a knock on the door and it come a couple 322 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,520 that she knew and they they love the Lord, but we're not 323 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,880 attending a church at the time, but still wanted to tithe and 324 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,400 they had remember the old Bible covers. 325 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,280 I don't know if you remember with the big zips on them. 326 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:44,520 They open it up. You remember and and opened it 327 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,480 up and there was a bunch of cash that was their tie. 328 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:49,920 The Lord told us to give this to you. 329 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,600 It was exactly what she needed for that ticket the next day. 330 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,640 See, now I can say, oh wow, that's good. 331 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,440 I'm so glad God did something back then or I can take that as 332 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,520 fuel and say, but the same God's alive today and he's more than 333 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:16,430 able, the same God is able to do greater mighty things now. 334 00:28:21,750 --> 00:28:25,920 My grandfather on my mum's side and and grandma and grandpa on 335 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,320 that side were in ministry and they were believing God for a, a 336 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,360 building that would become a revival centre and they were 337 00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:33,880 going to have a, a Bible college out of it. 338 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,440 They had a church, but they were believing God. 339 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:40,560 They were always just renting and they, they believed God for 340 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,640 that. They found the place and they 341 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,440 were, they were had to put a deposit down and they still 342 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,600 didn't have the money for the deposit, but they believed God. 343 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:55,320 They believed God and then two days before it was due, God 344 00:28:55,320 --> 00:29:04,720 provides same God. See, this is remembering in a 345 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:09,160 way to fuel and ignite your belief. 346 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,400 And maybe you don't have those stories. 347 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,280 Steal them. We're all one big family anyway. 348 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:25,760 OK, it's all right. You know, I, I steal people's 349 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,080 stories of faith all the time, right? 350 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,760 I, I don't retell them as my own. 351 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:32,760 I don't do that. But. 352 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,320 But I steal them so that I can be fuelled by them. 353 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,840 Elder John got me a great book. He, he knows I love The 354 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,720 Revivalist and a great book by John G Lake about his story. 355 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,080 And I'm reading these stories and I've got yeah, God, you can 356 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,840 do that.

I just wrote down a few names of 363 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,920 of people who's like John Wesley, Sadhu, Sander Singh, 364 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:25,400 Watchman Knee, Reinhard Bonke, William Seymour, Amy Sample 365 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,760 McPherson, John G Lake, Catherine Kuhlman, Yong Echo, 366 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:35,200 the Cambridge 7 Smith, Wigglesworth, Elias Letwabo 367 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:43,480 Simeoni Zimbabi Simeoni Zimbabi was part of the East African 368 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,320 revival that God did in the 1920s and 30s. 369 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,320 See, see, Gee, don't, don't, don't, don't just take it from 370 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:59,320 the people, you know. See, God is moving everywhere. 371 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,960 All who believe will kill the children of God. 372 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:10,520 It says it's John 112 and God is moving and God has moved. 373 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,040 Understand that. So you can take those promises 374 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,080 and you can bring them to the now. 375 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:37,120 And we remember, so we believe, we remember to believe in John 376 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:43,840 chapter 20 and verse 30 and 31. This is near the end of the 377 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:49,560 Gospel of John. And he says there are also many 378 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,680 other signs and miracles which Jesus performed in the presence 379 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,880 of the disciples, which are not written in this book. 380 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,160 But these are written. So say that with me. 381 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:13,000 These are written in order that you may believe, believe, 382 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,280 believe. See, these are written so you 383 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,880 believe. These are written so that you 384 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,440 would believe that you would believe. 385 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,560 The purpose of the history, the purpose of the remembrance is 386 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:37,320 that you believe, in order that you may believe that Jesus is 387 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:42,400 the Christ, the Son of God, and that through believing and 388 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,800 cleaving to and trusting and relying upon Him, you may have 389 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,600 life through His name, through who He is. 390 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,920 Our remembrance is so we believe. 391 00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:04,000 We return to Him so we may believe. 392 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,240 Our turn back is so we may believe. 393 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:16,960 Isaiah 30 and verse 15. Sorry, before you go, go back. 394 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:21,120 One belief must be fresh for every generation. 395 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,200 You cannot live on your grandparents faith. 396 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,000 You cannot live on your parents faith. 397 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,400 You can be encouraged by it. It can encourage your faith and 398 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,200 lift you and you recognize it. But it's you who believe. 399 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:47,120 You are the one who has to believe what God has said and 400 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,320 apply it. You're the one who believe. 401 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:54,360 A fresh belief, a fresh faith that God is more than able, a 402 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,600 fresh faith that he is who He said he is. 403 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,400 A freshness to that faith. Belief must be fresh. 404 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,480 Isaiah 31st, 15. I love this verse, for thus said 405 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,320 the Lord God the Holy One of Israel, in returning to me and 406 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,159 resting in me, you shall be saved. 407 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:21,199 He was calling Israel to turn back to him, and in that turn 408 00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:29,360 back He would give them rest. He would give them the place of 409 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:37,199 Holmes. Same God right now, same God 410 00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:45,400 right now, same God right now. Yes, now, believe it. 411 00:34:57,070 --> 00:35:04,110 Same God, same God right now, same God back then. 412 00:35:07,150 --> 00:35:18,840 He is more than able. So remember, believe, speak 413 00:35:27,710 --> 00:35:31,910 Dynasty Wednesday, this past Wednesday, which was our last 414 00:35:31,910 --> 00:35:36,670 one, Pastor Terence spoke about speaking the Word of God, 415 00:35:37,870 --> 00:35:45,960 speaking Acts 4 verse 19 and 20. Peter and John had been 416 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,520 investigated by the the Sadducees because they were 417 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:54,000 preaching in the temple and they were charged. 418 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,760 They were actually beaten and then they were charged. 419 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,680 You can't speak in that name of Jesus anymore. 420 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:09,040 Jesus is a threat. Jesus is a threat. 421 00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:15,360 But Peter and John replied, Do you think God wants us to obey 422 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:24,920 you rather than him? We cannot stop telling about 423 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,880 everything we have seen and heard. 424 00:36:33,510 --> 00:36:39,110 We remember the goodness of God, the way he's moved, what he's 425 00:36:39,110 --> 00:36:41,550 done in our lives, how he's engaged us. 426 00:36:41,710 --> 00:36:56,080 We remember it fuels our belief and then we cannot but speak of 427 00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:01,080 the goodness of God. I love that word. 428 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:07,600 Cannot Peter and John have been with Jesus said they'd gone 429 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,840 through all the UPS and the downs and the trials and the 430 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,200 the, the messages and the miracles and the and and and 431 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,960 the, the death, the resurrection, the confusion, the 432 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,960 lack of hope. Then in the resurrection, the 433 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:27,360 renewed hope and now the empowerment of the Spirit of God 434 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,760 of Pentecost. And they said we've sinned too 435 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,360 much. No, no, no, no. 436 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:41,720 I've seen too much. You want me to not speak? 437 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:46,000 I've seen too much. I've seen too much. 438 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:54,160 I've heard too much. I can't do that. 439 00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:00,600 I can't help but speak of the goodness of God. 440 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,720 We believe, therefore we also speak. 441 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,720 This is a quote from Second Corinthians chapter 4, which is 442 00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:11,040 actually quoting A Psalm. I think it's Psalm 112. 443 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,000 It says, yet we have the same spirit of faith as he who had, 444 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,880 as he had, who wrote in Scripture. 445 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:25,240 I believed, therefore I spoke. So we also believe, therefore we 446 00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:30,800 also speak knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will also 447 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,600 raise us with Jesus and will present us along with you in his 448 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,400 presence. Say this after me. 449 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:44,920 I believed, therefore I spoke. I believed, therefore I spoke. 450 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:57,080 There's a connection. And he says knowing it was out 451 00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,080 of his knowing of who God is, out of his knowing the goodness 452 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,400 of God, out of his knowing the love of God, out of his knowing 453 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,360 the nature of who God is, out of that knowing. 454 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:16,040 We also, we also believe, therefore we also speak knowing. 455 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:23,280 See that knowing of God, that knowing of who he is was that 456 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:28,160 motivation that says because I know who he is, because I 457 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:34,880 believe in him, because I have believed, I can't but speak the 458 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,680 goodness of God. I cannot but speak of his love. 459 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,840 I cannot but speak of how he good he is. 460 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:58,240 I cannot but speak of his love. So how do we position this? 461 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:14,840 You know the we've exposed that remembrance when we don't 462 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:20,080 remember, like the Church of Ephesus when they lost their 463 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,560 remembrance of that love, that first love, right? 464 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:29,000 We've exposed that when we forget, we can fall short of 465 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:36,200 what He's called us to. But we've been equipped that in 466 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,960 our believing, in our turning back and remembering the 467 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:44,040 goodness of God and pulling it forward, that He is more than 468 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:48,080 able. That actually in our remembering 469 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,800 and not getting stuck in our remembering, but letting 470 00:40:50,800 --> 00:41:00,040 remembering be fuel for belief. We have the power for now, the 471 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,680 power to be able to walk the walk He's called us to. 472 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:14,160 And out of that He is more than able. 473 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,520 Out of that belief. Therefore, we speak. 474 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,040 We speak to one another to build each other's faith. 475 00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:27,200 We speak to those around us to share our faith. 476 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,120 We speak out the goodness of God. 477 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,560 You know what, How much that helps one another. 478 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:41,800 I was sharing with some people and and hearing their stories. 479 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:47,920 I'm like, yes, that's exciting. And then I share my stories of 480 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:53,440 how God's been faithful in my life and that's turns them up, 481 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,280 man. We get, we come here every week 482 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,440 and I'm like, Mark, guess what happened this week? 483 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,040 Ah, it's so good you got to hear it. 484 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,840 You know what, I was stressed out. 485 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,480 I'm not knowing where we're going to get this finances for. 486 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,080 But let me tell you what God did. 487 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:19,480 First of all, he gave me this piece that was rock solid man, 488 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,680 that piece, that piece, that kind of piece. 489 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:35,360 And then, and then guess what he provided You see in your 490 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:41,600 testimony, don't you forget that the peace is a gift as much as 491 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:49,360 the provision, because that's that God kind of living. 492 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,960 That's that God kind of living. A God kind of living of love and 493 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,840 joy and peace and patience and kindness of goodness and 494 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,200 faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. 495 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:08,920 That's that God kind of living. In the next experience, we're 496 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:13,880 going to continue on a bit more about the three powers of the 497 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,960 voice of faith. Pastor terrorists laid these out 498 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,000 on Wednesday and we're going to go into those in a bit more 499 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:30,190 detail.

Not a memorial to hold us in the 516 00:44:55,160 --> 00:45:01,440 past and stole us, but a memorial that launches us and 517 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:08,240 ignites our belief. Lord, we will learn how to 518 00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:13,240 remember well.
