Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, missing podcast
from st. Augustine, Florida.
Now, enjoy this message. Today, I want to talk to you
about Kingdom declaration, always advancing one of Pastor,
Earl and Marci sayings is our senior pastors is we're always
advancing. We watch Meet the Robinsons this
week, great movie, if you haven't seen it, but they have a
slogan that says, keep moving forward.
I thought for the church, our church, anchor Faith Church
where always advancing. Hallelujah.
But I want to remind you, some of you may have been with us in
January, some may not have because we do have new faces,
but Pastor oral always prays about Lord.
What do you have for the upcoming year?
Right, it'll start praying that this at the end of this year,
for 2024, but coming out of 2022, he and Pastor Marcy were
seeking God, what is the word for Interfaith church and thank
God for a local body Church. There's a universal word, but
there's also a local body word, right.
And so the word for anchor, Faith Church, this year was
raining resonance. A year of Declaration.
And so that's a prophetic word for us.
There's just a principle about confession in the word of God,
but for us specifically, it's a year of raining resonance and
it's a year of Declaration, so I want to remind you and ask you,
what are you saying turn with me to Matthew chapter 16, if you
got your Paper Bible or your digital.
Hold them up. Let me see what you got.
Who's got digital or phones. We got some paper Bibles.
Reverend Randy will be so happy Revival of the paper Bible.
So go to Matthew chapter, 16 we're going to launch out from
this verse These verses into today's message.
Amen. About always advancing Matthew
chapter 16 verses 13 through 19. I'm reading from the new King
James version. It says, when Jesus came into
the region of caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples saying,
who do men say that? I, the son of man a.m.
So they said some say, John the Baptist some Elijah, some
others? Jeremiah or one of the prophets.
He said to them. But who do you say that?
I am Simon. Peter answered said, you are the
Christ, the son of the Living. God Jesus answering said it.
In blessed said to him. Blessed are you Simon Barr?
Jonah for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you.
But my father who is in heaven and also say, to you that you
are Peter and on this rock, I will build my church.
And the gates of Hades are the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail
against it. I will give you and I will give
you the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Whatever you bind on Earth will be bound in heaven and whatever
you loose. Loose on Earth will be loosed in
heaven. Everybody say the Keys of the
Kingdom. Say it again.
The Keys of the Kingdom turn to your neighbor and say I got the
keys, turn the one on the other side and say I got the keys.
Now he said, I will build my church, God's plan God's
purpose. And for you, that been with
anchor, Faith Church for any period of time.
You understand that salvation is just an interest into a life, a
lifestyle and really a kingdom lifestyle.
Our kingdom culture salvation is just a start of a journey.
And we're on a journey with the Lord in the Earth for a
definitive purpose. He's called us to amen.
But God's about building not about tearing down God's about
establishing not destroying God's about advancing.
Not moving backwards. God wants to see you grow.
Not decline. So he said I'm going to build my
church at means. I'm going to erect it.
I'm going to build a house. I'm going to establish, it
really means to promote growth. God wants you to grow turn your
neighbor and say grow turn. The one that I say grow up.
So God's desires for you to grow, this is a good question.
Are you better now than you were a year ago?
Do you know no more now are you applying more now than you were
a year ago? Are you better now than you were
ten years ago? Are you growing?
Because that's God's desire that you would grow?
He said, he said that the gates of hell, you know, my wife
ministered on Wednesday and she talked about access points or
Three points or open doors is what she really said talking
about healing, you know, but he said the gates of hell, you
know, the devil's that work gate means there's access points or
entryways and he's saying those Gates will not those access
points those entryways. If you're doing the word will
not Prevail against you. The word Prevail means to be
strong to be superior in strength or to overcome.
So even the Psalms we just read our real, Psalms written by real
people. Psalms 139. 118.
And you notice in the Psalms it talks about Affliction, it talks
about Trials of talks about test.
But always come back to this resolved.
You are my salvation O Lord. You are the deliverer.
No matter what went on guess, what?
You always brought me out. So it is reality.
That guess what, there is a devil in the world that's trying
to destroy us, right? Trying to kill us, right?
Trying to take from us, but guess what?
God said, if you stick to the Keys of the Kingdom, you'll
always come out on top. He said, you'll Prevail that
won't Prevail against you. You'll Prevail against that and
he said, I will give you the keys now keys in the Kingdom.
Luke 11:52 talks about the key of knowledge.
Hosea, chapter 4. Verse number 4 says, my people
perish because of a lack of knowledge.
So Keys represents knowledge. People perish, because they
don't know. And this isn't information, this
isn't Jeopardy. Where we know bunch of trivia
really a lot of what we see on the internet or get through
sermons is just information knowledge in the Bible.
When you knew somebody for those that were married in the Bible
the word knowing condensate an intimate close relationship,
Hallelujah. It's it's one thing to
Hallelujah. Kind of know where I'm going.
I'm like checking my audience, it's one thing to read a book
about reproduction. I'll put it that way.
How to reproduce? Are you with me?
Keeping this PG? It's another thing, just my wife
said, just say it. It's one thing to read a book
about sex. It's another thing to do the
action. So, do you have information
about it? Where are you experiencing?
So knowledge means, I'm intimate with it.
I'm actually applying what I've learned.
So the key of knowledge, it's just not getting information
about God, it's actually applying the truth of the word
of God. See, God didn't call you to be
broke down, busting disgusted, barely getting along.
So I'm at this is a mid-year evaluation.
You realize his June, the 11th. And anybody said goals and
January should look back. At the goals. and say, am I
accomplishing what I set out to do, how do you make goals and
then in January, and looked at him and December, Repeat next
year. I'm saying this because Pastor
Earle gave us a word, he gave us knowledge prophetically that
said this is a year of raining, resonance a year of Declaration.
This is a key for us to overcome and to be stronger than the
enemy. If you're not experiencing
Victory, then what are you declaring?
Let me go over some definitions, okay, because I want to touch on
this from several different angles.
So we talked about declaration, these can be broken down and
definitions from different words.
One confession, there's a key in the kingdom of God called.
And at these are all really the same meaning.
I could say declaration, I could say confession, I could say
profession. All right?
Confession isn't an acknowledgement or a
declaration. Profession is an open
Declaration of public, acknowledgement of one's
beliefs. Alright, Pastor gave it to this
way prophetically year of raining.
Resonance, resonance is a resounding.
It's a sound. It's a sound.
And it resounds its return from the sides of hollow instruments
of Music. It reverberates what's
reverberating in your home this year?
We're stuck in the same cycle. We're going through the same
patterns. Is that your confession?
Is that your declaration? Our finances are a mess.
I'm depressed I'm down. You know what I like about
Psalms 113 3118 and just the Bible in general.
It deals with the emotions and the trials of humanity but you
notice it does stay in that sums 113 through 118 is notes of
victory. And even though they were
definitely going through some things.
Guess what? Their praise brought them out.
So residents, when it comes to music, it's instruments that
possess a high degree of resonance by producing
additional vibrations and Echoes of the original sound.
What's the original sand in our kingdom, the Throne of God.
Matter of fact, when you study out the word confession, it
means to say the same thing. What am I saying?
The same thing as the original sound, which is God's, and what
is God saying, and the Temptation when the devil came
to Jesus, in Matthew chapter 4 and he tried to tempt him, three
different times. God said it is written, he was
repeating the original sound of the father. and even though he
was being tried and tested, he overcame because of what he
said, Hallelujah. So this is a key that you need
to check and evaluate your life. If there's any area of lack, any
area of not progressing, any of area of depression, any area of
bondage. In my declaring him, I decree in
the word of the Lord, Now, turn with me to Matthew chapter 6.
And we're going to look at the Lord's Prayer.
And this is some verse number. 9 through verse number 13, And it
says this, Our Father in heaven Hallowed Be Your Name, Your
Kingdom Come your will be done on the Earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us.
All of our debts, as we forgive our debtors and do not lead us
into temptation, but Deliver Us from the evil.
One for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen. Now, this is red letter in my
Which means Jesus spoke. This is actually part of The
Sermon on the Mount. From Matthew Chapter 5 through
Matthew chapter 7. But with embedded within this
because they were asking him how do we pray?
The disciples are asking Jesus, how do we pray?
And he said I'm going to give you this prayer and its really a
prayer pattern because God said don't be vain or repetitious in
your prayers. I don't think God gave us this
prayer just to repeat it but really to extract principles.
Matter of fact their rabbis when they taught Always speak a
principle than expound on the principal.
So there's a clause contained in each of these verses that I
wanted to cover just a couple of these.
During this time, our Father in heaven Hallowed be your name,
that's one clause. The second one, your kingdom
come your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven.
Third Clause, give us this day, our daily bread, fourth Clause,
forgive us our debts. As we forgive our debtors, fifth
Clause, don't delete us into temptation, but Deliver Us from
Evil fifth place for yours is the kingdom and the power and
the glory forever. I believe every good prayer,
Life Starts With Praise and ends with praise He starts with our
Father in heaven Hallowed be your name and he ends with for
yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, both now and
forever, the word hallowed, he said Our Father, which art in
heaven Hallowed, Be Your Name, hallowed means to be entire and
perfect. Pure in heart temper and
disposition. Hallowed means you're free from
sin or sinful affections. It's applied hallo to the
Supreme Being In it really pronounces God's name.
Holy God's name is Holy. It means let God's name be
celebrated venerated and esteemed as holy everywhere.
That means I give the name of God, the highest degree of
respect and reverence, it's a cinnamon excited by the dignity
and the superiority of God, Almighty, the sacredness of his
character, you know, in the Jewish culture, when they wrote
the name of God, they had such Veneration and reverence for
that name, they literally would break the PIN.
Because they were saying that name is so sacred, I can't use
his pen to do anything else. So Hallowed, Be Your Name,
Hallowed, be your name. I'm going to give you some
ammunition today. Glory to God, this is the year
of Declaration. The Earth raining resonances.
Should be a reverberation that's going on in your house and your
car as you're in your job. What do you speak in?
What do you declaring? What do you sing?
And cause confessions not limited as talking.
That declaration. There's a praise in declaration.
Sometimes there's a silence where you just lift in your
hands. That's a Liberation.
Listen people that are in bondage, their hands are chained
up, people that are freaking lift their hands.
Psalms 46:10 says be still and know that your God.
There's a declaration and saying Lord Almighty you've got this So
here's some ammunition from you or for you for your life.
Amen. Some takeaways, they're going to
put these up on the screen. I'm going to cover him pretty
quick but the old Covenant, you've heard their team term
Jehovah. We sang.
The song today that I am tells me who I am first time.
This is mentioned in scripture is in Exodus 3:14.
When Moses said, who should I say?
Sit me when he's gone before Pharaoh God, on my He said, tell
them that I am since you and this identified him as Jehovah,
Jehovah. Jehovah's, the personal name of
God in his relationship as Redeemer.
Redeem means, this d means to buy back.
That means you were under different management or
ownership until you said Jesus. I believe in the sacrifice that
you paid on that cross. Right.
I believe that you came this Earth, You Walked it for 33
years, you were crucified died and buried, but on the third
day, you Rose again in fulfillment of scripture and now
you have ascended in your seat. At the right hand of the father,
your blood is on The Mercy Seat and I say that Jesus is Lord of
my life. That's Redemption.
I was under the sway, the Tactics the plan and the
ownership of the devil. But when I say Jesus, your Lord,
I'm taking out of darkness and I'm brought into The Marvelous
Light and so Jehovah. Identifies, God's name in his
personal relationship as Redeemer.
Jehovah means the Eternal one since Jehovah is the Covenant
name of God. So, if we could just talk about
Covenant, Josh, clay would just unload that like a machine gun
on you. Praise the Lord.
He and for those chaos students were not doing it, but he went
to do a sacrifice in ki class Blood Covenant, Hallelujah good.
Things are happening. Acre-feet church.
If you're interested in ki, you can go down to the table after
church and snow another infomercial.
So it's the Covenant, it's a covenant, Covenant!
Covenant Covenant is binding, Covenant is solid, Covenant is
lasting, it's expresses his personal relationship.
So it's natural that this name. Jehovah will be compounded with
other terms that identify and make specific those
relationships Jehovah's. The name of God occur most
frequently in the Old Testament. 1231 times, Jehovah is
mentioned. Now, you'll see the first one, I
cover Jehovah. The, I am to show the personal
nature nature of the relationship that he has with
us. We can call him Jehovah, Allah
aim, Lolly means, he's the creator of all things.
You know, by right of creation. He owns in the United States if
we make a patent that means you created something.
And now you have the right to what you created sin is really a
denial of God, God's right of possession. he created us
therefore, where his Jehovah Jireh, and they give you the
scripture next to these, you can write down and look these up.
When you go home, identifies God as the provider, obviously, this
is about Abraham. When he saw the ram caught in
the thicket and God provided the sacrifice.
He's also Jehovah Rapha, which my wife is ministering on
Wednesdays, right now, this identifies God, as the Healer
God has, provided the final cure for Virtual physical and
emotional healing. God has provided the final cure,
The Mending, the repairing, the wholeness for Spiritual physical
and emotional healing. You don't have to be mentally
Disturbed. Physically bound or spiritually
oppressed. God is Jehovah Rapha.
How does this apply to you? Because I get to get my car
today. I get to go to my house and
start making a sound and let it reverberating.
I'm just not gonna run to the throne and just say, God, I need
this, this and this God, I'm when I lift my hands and say,
thank you that you are the Healer.
I'm just going to spend 10 15 minutes just thanking you for
bringing me out. We just sang the song.
How you saved me? How you raised me, how you
filled me with the Holy Ghost. Right.
I'm going to thank you. Music crater.
I could just walk out nature and say wow.
Those pictures from my homeland. Poland, I'm polish and German.
So cool thing as shot, Pastor a text which micro said k, r UL C.
Ik is not how we spell really spell it.
So my dad has his grandfather's actual original birth
certificate and I sent the the spelling to Pastor I said, hey,
can you confirm because this is what my dad told me, it means he
said that's right arm because yes, the spears but it means son
of a king. But you saw those videos, Man,
beautiful lush green grass, right Rivers got, you could just
experienced God and nature, right?
You could thank him that he's the provider.
Jehovah. Shalom means this identifies God
as peace. Why are you fretting?
Why are you worried? Why are you anxious?
Maybe, because you watched and feed on too much of the wrong
thing. Too much negative news.
Right. You know, all of that, a
meditation life. What are you thinking?
On? And God said, I am peace.
It means more than freedom from conflict.
Shalom means Prosperity. It means health and well-being,
and faith. In the face of any conflict.
It doesn't mean the absence of conflict and means faith in the
midst of any conflict. Jesus did not have a freakout
party. When he now, the disciples did,
when on the boat and they said the win, the waves, Jesus had a
word from the Lord. We got a word from the Lord this
year. It's raining resonance.
Jesus had a word from the Lord for the disciples.
You're going to make it to the other side.
Guess what? Just like we do sometimes they
forgot that word that's why I'm reminding.
You of the word today. What is your confession?
What is your declaration that you are speaking?
Not a disciples are freaking out but Jesus he knew.
God Almighty is Jehovah Shalom. And he said, winds be still wave
cease and peace manifested. He's Jehovah tisca new this
identifies God as our righteousness.
Man, the blood of God has been applied to my life.
He's also Jehova, rohi this identified God as our Shepherd.
The Lord Is Our Shepherd. We shall not want or lack,
right? What does the shepherd do a
Shepherd? Feeds, a Shepherd God's.
He's given us the Holy Ghost. You can thank God today.
As you're walking out the booty. Can think of right now that you
have poured out the Holy Ghost and I don't have to guess.
I don't have to wonder as many as are led by the spirit of God.
These are the sons of God. Thank you for the quickening.
The leading, the direction, the Council of the Holy Ghost, I
like taking towards downtown one cuz I don't have to walk
everywhere. You can get dropped off at
certain spots but they have a tour conductor a guide that on
the trolley that takes you around right?
And he gives you a lot of factual information about the
history of Saint Augustine. Well the Holy Ghost is just like
that tour guide. He's going to be communicating
with you. If you're listening to him, he
doesn't communicate to your mind.
He communicates to your spirit, he gives witness to your Spirit.
But the Lord is Our Shepherd. He's also Jehovah me.
Kiddush this identifies. God is the one who sanctifies
and consecrates. It's time to put down the
Twinkies. The stay comes.
Orange Tang. Glory to God.
Amen. That's tell him.
I my girls. My grandma used to cook bacon.
Then take the grease from the bacon to cook the eggs.
With, that's ministering to some here right now.
I hear the arteries clogging up. He's a God who sanctifies.
That means he's going to shave some things off of you that may
be good every once in a while, but every day I'll kill you.
What sanctification, we think about Olympic athletes.
What do they do? They've consecrated themselves
to a discipline or regimen. I just don't watch everything or
listen, everything or let everything in, there's access
points, there's Gates. You want to be defiled?
Diluted? Delusional.
You're living an unsanctified life.
This it God, doesn't make that choice for you.
Listen. Your life is composed of your
choices. Constructed by your words and
revealed by your character. Your life is composed of your
choices. You got to choose to sanctify
constructed. By your words, what do you
declaring this year? And it's revealed by your
character. Sanctification means I'll put
things down, Paul talks in first, but in First Corinthians
9 about the athletic games during those days how they
buffeted their body, not Buffet. Some of you may be having
misread that verse it wasn't gonna go and Crown and look in
the chocolate fondue dripping down, right?
It's sanctification being set apart.
I get up at 5:00 a.m. for a reason.
Why the, why the Olympic athletes get up early.
They're trying to win a gold. He said your they're doing it
for a perishable Crown. We should be doing it for an
imperishable crown. We were created in God.
To do, good works to bring glory to God.
What is your resume your writing for the Lord look like right
now? When you know, going to Walmart,
the Bible says, you should be light and you should be salt,
you should display good works. That your father in Heaven may
be glorified but that takes sanctification and consecration.
He's also Jehovah Sabbath, which identifies God is the Lord of
hosts. The king of glory, the lord of
hosts surrounds. His people.
In times of attack by the enemy. He's also Jehova shamma this
identifies. That God is there.
Sometimes we think God is way up where he can't be reached.
He can't be touched, he can't be accessed but Jehova shamma said,
God is the Transcendent God who created the vast universe.
But he's also a pretty very present help.
He's a very present help in any time of trouble, he will never
leave you nor forsake you This is ways that you can praise and
declare and confess, God Almighty these.
A spiritual ammo that you can leash on the Gates of Hell.
These Are Spiritual ammo that you could declare in your house.
Your car around your family, in this church in this community,
in this city and the nation in the world.
Don't be silent as time to open up your mouth and to clear the
goodness of God, Luke chapter 17 verses 20 through 21.
Now, the first part of Luke Chapter, Matthew chapter 6, he
said Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be your name,
then he said your kingdom come, your will be done.
One translation, says in the earth, another one says, on the
earth, you know, stretch second Corinthians chapter 5 says, we
have this treasure in Earthen vessels.
I like both translation, be it done on the Earth, but let it be
done in the earth in this vessel.
Let your kingdom come. Word in the Greek Kingdom means
boss Alia. It's a realm or domain or
territory. Where King is in charge.
When you get when you are born again, it's just not about going
to. The kingdom of heaven, we are
advancing the kingdom of God. We're always advancing the
kingdom of God. In the earth kingdom of God, is
not limited to the kingdom of heaven.
The kingdom of God, is in operation.
Now, God feels is the supreme ruler.
When you say, I'm in the Kingdom, the territory, I'm
putting this way. God is not killing you to get
you into his kingdom. Once you're born again, you're
already in his kingdom. The question is, are you
operating as a son and a citizen in the kingdom of God?
And that takes the keys of knowledge.
He said, I'll give you the keys of the kingdom of basa Leah.
The key of knowledge see were low.
We're living on a lower level than God intended us for us to
live on. How do I know this?
Because of the parable of the sower.
The seed is sown it, us four things.
The great thing about the seed is keep sewing it, and let it
let yourself be good ground. Fruit.
Glorifies God. And he wants his kingdom kids to
bring honor to his name. Psalms 115 was 115 and said not
unto us O Lord but unto you be the glory.
So the kingdom of God, Luke chapter 17.
I just want to identify their, there is a difference between
the Kingdom of Heaven and the kingdom of Fiore sir God,
because the kingdom of God is now turn to your neighbor and
say the kingdom of God, is now say it louder.
Say the kingdom of God, is now say it again.
The kingdom of God is now look at Luke chapter 17 verses 20
through 21. It says, now when He was asked
by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God would come Jesus
answered them. And said, the kingdom of God
knows he didn't say the kingdom of heaven.
Does not come with observation or just with your natural eyes
nor will they say see hear or see there for indeed the kingdom
of God is where it's within you. You need to start.
This is a confession, the kingdom of God is alive in me.
You could say this way, I'm alive and the kingdom, I got
Zoey a life on the inside of me. I got Agape.
Love on the inside of me. Romans 14:17.
Romans 14:17, this says, for the kingdom of God is not eating and
drinking but its righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy
Spirit. That is the kingdom of God.
Now, I want to flip back to the Old Testament.
Exodus chapter 12. Exodus is a fascinating book.
Hallelujah. Leviticus is a fascinating book.
The Bible is a fascinating book, lord open up our eyes that we
would see. Holy Spirit.
Give us understanding and illumination and renew our mind
today in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah, you know the
children of Israel. They were like grasshoppers in
their own sight. They saw them self less than
what God saw them. And I'm telling you today by the
spirit of God, you need to renew your mind and see yourself as
God sees you. We sung the song.
The I am tells me who I am. Do you believe that?
Are you just singing it? Are you worshipping with your
lips? But your heart is far from him.
This is evaluation time. We're halfway through the year
and God saying, it's time to keep moving forward.
Always advancing, right? It's a rain training means to
rule, raining means to exercise the highest influence.
That means when you go into any situation or scenario
circumstance, that doesn't dictate you, you dictate that
too. Many times.
Believers are being dictated by what's going on.
Instead of dictating what's going on and God called you to
rule. He's a king.
He has Dominion. He's giving his kids ruler
Dominion to, he wants you to exercise that rulership on the
Earth but it takes knowledge. It takes application of
knowledge to rule and to many of us just have not even renewed
our mind and God say Hey man, just renewed with a washing of
the water of the word. How can you even talk different
if you're not thinking different?
How can you talk different? If you're not changing the word,
repent means to change your thinking.
The first word was repent for the kingdom.
You've been living life in a certain way or certain vein or
certain flow, but now you need to learn how to think like the
son of a king. Royalty.
How does the son of a king? Think, that's how does the
daughter of a king think? Tom to destroy grasshopper
mentality. And it's time to get some
raining mentality. Hallelujah.
So we see just for progression, God is a God who is always
advancing in the Bible is progressive revelation.
We see in Genesis chapter 12, a man come on the scene named
Abraham right. Genesis 1 through 11 covers
about 2,000 years of History. Sets creation says the fall sets
the plan of God for Redemption. Genesis 12 through Genesis 50
slows down covers the lives of four men over about 250 Years.
First one that comes on the scene as Me becomes the father
of many nations. God's plan was not to develop a
religion or Christianity. God said, I got a nation of
people in the Earth. I'm creating our birthing a
nation out of Abraham came Isaac.
And what does Isaac represent to us?
He becomes the son of submission.
And unless you get John 3:30 down which means he must
increase in. I must decrease Proverbs talks
about he that tries to Humble himself will what be exalted and
he that exalts himself or what be humbled.
So the sun is submission says man I submit to God I'm not
figuring out my own way, my own plan, my own thoughts, I'm
coming up under him, I'm not independent.
Right. I am under his control under his
leadership under his lordship. That means I access a throne of
God frequently. And then out of Isaac, right?
We get the 12 Patriarchs but really they focus on Jacob,
right? Jacob becomes a son, a
transformation actually. Jacob has a twelve Patriarchs
Jacob becomes the son of transformation and that's where
true. True transforms us not sermons
sermons, don't set you free, true set, you free.
John 8:31 32 says, you shall know the truth member not
information, but you shall know you should be intimate with
truth and the truth is going to liberate.
You this is your of raining resonance, this is your of
Declaration, the truth is if you'll just speak it by faith.
I like what Pastor Marcus said, it's not a feeling Faith.
Isn't a feeling faith will impact your feelings.
But by faith. What is faith?
Faith is a conviction based upon the word of God and I declare
the word of God in the middle of any circumstance, whether I'm on
the Mountaintop or in the valley, I'm gonna speak.
His word confession means to say the same thing that God says,
As. So, we need to be saying the
same thing. That God says so Jacob the son
of transformation Joseph represents suffering and Glory
he had a dream. Does anybody have a dream?
Don't lose your dream. God gives dreams.
God gives Vision. Listen, God says, I got to work
for you to do in the earth. I got a plan for you to
accomplish in the earth. I got a purpose for you, and I'm
going to birth that. I'm gonna.
I want you to, you know, put it in a Crock-Pot.
Put all the ingredients in it. There's, there's a
knowledge-based. We need people, perish.
This is another key in the Kingdom.
People perish because of a lack of vision. don't be this, I
wanted a title, this break the hamster, wheel, get off the
Merry-Go-Round and go somewhere that your of Israel, Circle the
same Mountain God saying this is time June 11th break through
Break Free Break through Break Free.
Break the hemp was a hamster wheel.
You are making a lot of effort going around the same things but
not going anywhere. I don't want to look back 30
years from now and say, man. There was no movement, even
though it was moving, there was no movement.
God is a God who moves. He takes you from Faith to Faith
from glory to glory and Joseph had a dream and guess what?
Not, everybody's going to love. Your dream will love it.
Out of the 12 Brothers, only one really interceded for him, the
rest said, let's kill him. There's dreams squashers out
there. There's dream Killers out there.
You don't want to die with what God has put in your heart.
He said, I need to one, I gave five to one, I gave to 21, I
gave one and they went out reproduce that dream and brought
fruits fruit and brought glory to God, because of the plan and
the purpose that he had for him. So that Moses represents the
deliver. And then we get to Joshua who
brings us into Canaan land. But I want to highlight today,
Exodus Exodus. Exodus 40 chapters.
Amen. First, we have the call of God.
You know, sometimes you struggle with your call.
Moses struggled. He said little Lord don't talk
well. I got a speech.
Impediment. He said, he had a, he had a car,
you know, you could talk to God like that.
He basically was Questioning God, we don't want to question
God but he was saying, you sure you got the right guy, the right
girl. Right.
But God said no I who made man. Do you think I missed it?
That's what he basically said to Moses.
He said no, you are the man that I've called you are the woman
that I've called. Your anointed for such a time as
this. Be bold be confident, be
courageous stand up in faith. Have a backbone, spiritual
backbone. And tell the devil sit down,
roll over and play dead. Right.
So we in Exodus 12, basically, for we see the call of Moses.
Exodus seven through twelve, thirty six, we see the Moses
with a word with a word, with a prophetic word from God.
Let my people go did Pharaoh say cool, Right on.
No, he rejected the word. So God sent ten plagues, right?
But to God, still do what he said he would do and bring them
out. so we get to Exodus chapter 12, which is the story really
the first Passover that's instituted And the journey out
of Egypt. Egypt is a type of the world and
Pharaoh is a type of the devil. And God said I'm bringing you
out of Egypt not into the Wilderness.
My goal is to bring you into where Canaan land.
Don't die Church in the wilderness.
A lot of the children of Israel died, wandering in the
wilderness. The Wilderness is where hamster
wheels are built and merry-go-rounds happen.
The Wilderness is a dry place, you're out, but you have barely
enough to get by, Finances, emotional well-being, physical
health and God said, I he said in John 10:10.
I came I came I came to give you life and to give it to you more
abundantly, the reason you'll have more is because you settle
for less second Corinthians chapter 4, I'm going to come
back to Exodus 12 and just a second there's a reason why I
started this service with the help of the Holy Ghost reading
those psalms second Corinthians chapter 4, verse number 13.
I'm going to read this from a few different translations.
I think they have the new King James version, or maybe the King
James version will start with that.
We have in the same Spirit of Faith.
According as it is written, I believe and therefore I have
spoken. We Believe therefore we speak.
Now, the living Bible says it like this.
We boldly say that we believe trusting God to care for us,
just as as the psalm Ryder did, when he said, I believe and
therefore I speak. So this verse in second
Corinthians is really a reference from the psalm.
Second Corinthians chapter 4. Verse number 13 says, we're not
keeping this quiet not on your life.
Just like the psalmist you wrote I believe.
So I said it, we say it. We believe it.
Listen, my wife and I were trying to have to get pregnant.
Got pregnant had a miscarriage. And Tulsa got pregnant.
Florida had a miscarriage. And I remember my wife, I was
working for Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
I was working for Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
I said looking at Pastor Marcus and I remember my wife came and
another miscarriage was sitting in the car with her.
She was slamming, her hand on the steering wheel.
Say God you said God, you said You said they're the womb will
be fruitful, right? We call Pastor or Marcy because
you want people around you that are going to give you the word,
not just sympathize and try to empathize.
Oh, it's gonna be okay. You'll get through this.
No, I want. Someone is going to say you're
gonna come out of this and you're going to have what God
said because he said that your womb will not be buried.
And that's the word and then prophetically pasture, land,
August 2008. Gave us a word you'll be with
child this time. Next year, I'm glad I didn't
miss that Sunday morning service and guess what we are with that.
Child next year, Abigail was born.
And then he gave us another prophetic word.
This one was dangerous. You can have children any time
you want now. Praise the Lord. that could be
good, but it also needs to be planned plan glory to God, or
will have a tribe Listen you can't break natural laws.
I'm going to insert this parenthetically I heard a one
couple of said we're trusting God we don't get pregnant.
We're declaring. Now that's just ignorance gone
to see. They got pregnant.
You can't Over Law override the law of seedtime.
And harvest. Say Amen.
Or oh me. You got to have the key of
knowledge. I heard of one Minister who
unfortunately passed away, but was declaring on one of his
Transportation modes. That nothing would happen.
But there was something in their Spirit, they got about, they
shouldn't go they should get it fixed.
Well guess what? They went on the certain
Transportation, it broke down him cost in their life just
being real vague right now. But you can't override
principles in the word of God. I can't run down the road at a
hundred miles an hour day. Say Psalms 91, the Lord is my
protection. And close my eyes and then
getting a traumatic crash and say God where were, you know,
that's tempting God. Jesus said You shall not tempt.
Jesus is the devil said, throw yourself down off of this,
basically is trying to Forfeit Jesus purpose to get him to
commit. Suicide and suicide is not the
answer. Life is the answer in God and
purpose and vision to the destiny.
It is called you too. And Jesus had to rebuke that
thought you realize that the devil is not with a red
Pitchfork in front of Jesus. Most likely because the Bible
says, he was tempted as we are yet without sin, these Just
thought the devil was coming unless Jesus at that moment was
operating in the Discerning of spirits.
To see into the spirit realm. The devil was throwing thoughts
at his mind. And guess what he was doing?
Same thing we got to do cast down, any thoughts or
imagination? A lot of time we just picture
Jesus having this conversation with the devil.
Know how does it at a devil? Come he gives you flaming arrows
or firing missiles right and we are to quench those with the
shield of Faith. The same way that Jesus, that's
a key of the kingdom. Are you quenching thoughts that
come your way? Hallelujah.
So we got to say it. We had to say it. and pastor of
Marcy encourages, thank God for those that are going to speak
truth to you and say, you can come up out if if you do this
So, second Corinthians 4:13, we're not keeping this quiet,
not on your life, just like the psalmist wrote I believe.
So I said it, we say it and we believe it.
So Exodus 12 starts the Passover, which means God's
bringing them out. He says, this is the first month
for you. This is a marker.
This is a memory. This is momentous and this is
the Passover the month of April, and you're going to celebrate
this for eternity. Right?
Is basically what he said we're going to honor.
God, we Still honor God because Jesus is the Passover Lamb.
We can celebrate that every day. That could be a reigning
resonance in our life that Jesus is Jehovah, tisca new
righteousness and he has brought us out of Egypt.
He's bringing us through the Wilderness, but to bring us into
Canaan land. Canaan, land is a land.
That's more than enough. That's God's plan for you, where
your, the dreams are coming to pass where the provision is
coming in, where the marriage is fruitful, where the parenting is
thriving with a business is growing where your influence is
just going all over the world. So saw 2nd Corinthians, Chapter
4 verses 13, the references back to Psalms.
The celebrants of the Passover today, either read or sing.
You get that they either read or what say I could read or I could
sing. But either way, I'm saying
something. Let's say it again.
I could read or I could sing. But either way I'm saying
something. They would read or sing Psalms
113 through 118 as part of the liturgical, retelling of the
story of God's Deliverance of Israel from Egypt, as part of
the Kim commemoration of God's saving acts during The Exodus.
These Psalms lead the celebrants through a cycle of praise to
God, their savior. Before the Passover feast, the
celebrating Jews read or sang. Psalms 113 in, Psalms 114 both
Psalms remarkably capture. And poetry, the major ideas of
the Liturgy that is also recited before the Passover meal.
This is they speak of God's saving works during the time of
Exodus. The first Psalm 113 focuses on
the worshippers and the grace of God.
He is there. Merciful Redeemer who bends from
Heaven to meet the needs of his people.
Then with the singing of Psalms, 114 the Jews, recall Israel's
deliverance from Egypt, the reason for the Passover
celebration and the central Act of God's Saving Grace the song
begins on, I'd light happy note, but then Psalms 114 really ends
on an arresting somber, note, the Earth trembling before the
almighty Lord, it is a wonderful companion piece to the song of
Miriam and Aaron and Exodus chapter 15 after the Passover
meal, Psalms 1, 15 through 18, 18 and 136 are red or some So
after the Passover meal, Psalms 1, 15 through 18, 18 and 136 are
either red or sung, Psalms 115. As a similar responsive reading,
which includes the communities expressive trust in the Lord and
the priests blessing. After declaring their confidence
in God, the celebrants, praise God, for saving them with the
words of Psalms 116. Then there's only two verses in
Psalms 117, but they build on Psalms 116 exhorting all the
nations to praise the Lord for his love and faithfulness.
Psalms 118 continues the emphasis on God's faithfulness.
By celebrating the Lord's, enduring love and a responsive
song. Responsive.
Oh the Lord is good and his Mercy if you can't say anything
else. Say, oh the Lord is good.
That word owes its like from them the From.
Oh the Lord is good and his Mercy endures forever.
Hallelujah. The heart of the sun
prophetically describes God's Deliverance.
For the children of Israel, Psalms 136 concludes the
Passover. Supper with her, resuscitate
order, reciting of this history of the Lord saving works.
It continues the previous Psalms refrain for his Mercy, endures
forever. Why do I bring all that?
Because in Psalms 116, 10 Paul quotes that and second
Corinthians 4:13 Paul's referencing God's delivering
ham. Let's let's read.
Second Corinthians, chapter 4, glory to God.
Pastor Marcus said I had 74 scriptures today.
I told him I was tempted. Bring a Bible reading plan and
pass one out. So you can start checking off
boxes in the congregation. There's nothing better.
Then the word of God there's nothing better.
I can say than to give you the word of God so let's read all
Second Corinthians, chapter 4. It's only 16 verses but you know
and hermeneutics are Bible interpretation.
We got to set context, right? Let's see what Paul was going
through. First Corinthians, second
Corinthians. Okay?
Start at verse number 1. Therefore, since we have this
ministry as we have received Mercy, we do not lose heart.
Hallelujah. One translation says, don't
faint faint means that your spiritless.
You're wearing, you know, you can get, where is a believer?
It's reality, but Galatians, 6, as what don't grow, God said
he's going to build. I'm going to grow you or
establish you. He and he listened by the holy
ghost that don't grow the other way.
Wary because wearing, this is going to come, you're not
abnormal because you get weary but learn how to throw it off.
This is the year of rain and residents.
Are you speaking? Are you singing?
We have renounced the hidden things of Shame.
Not walking in craftiness, nor handling word of God
deceitfully. But by manifestation of the
truth, commending ourselves to Every Man's conscience in the
sight of God, but even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled
to those who are perishing, whose Minds the God of this age
has blinded, you do not believe less the light of the Gospel of
the glory of Christ, whose image of God should shine on them.
For, we do not preach ourselves, but Christ, Jesus the Lord and
ourselves your bond servants, for Jesus sake.
For it is God who commanded light to shine out of Darkness,
who has Shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
But we have this treasure in Earthen vessels.
That the Excellency of the power may be of God and not of us.
We are hard pressed on every side yet not crushed.
We are perplexed, but not in despair persecuted, but not
forsaken. Aiken struck down but not
destroyed, always carrying about in the body.
The dying of the Lord Jesus that the life of Jesus Also may be
manifested in our body for we who live are always delivered to
death for Jesus sake. That the life of Jesus Also may
be manifested in our mortal flesh.
So then death is working on us but Life In You And since we
having the same Spirit of Faith to what Written, I believe and
therefore, I spake. We also believe in therefore, we
speak knowing that he who raised up Jesus from the dead will
present us with you. For all things are for your
sakes. That Grace haven't been spread
through the many may cause Thanksgiving to a bound to the
glory of God. Therefore, we do not lose heart.
Even though our outward man is perishing yet the inward man is
being renewed day by day. Day for our light light
afflictions which is but for a moment is working for us and us
a far more exceeding and eternal weight of Glory.
While we do not look at the things which are seen But at the
things which are unseen for the things which are seen are
temporary but the things which are unseen are eternal Man, Paul
went through some things, we're going to walk through some
things, but right in the middle of this chapter, he references,
Psalms 1 16:10 talking about the Exodus and what they walk
through. You want to see what they walk
through. Let's go through it real quick.
I'm not going to give you a choice.
This ministry has condition your backside.
Glory to God there. Withstand 3 hours.
I'm not going to go that long, but.
Amen. So let's look at the Exodus real
quick as Paul. He was troubled on many sides.
But he also references how they went through, the Exodus and
were troubled on many sides. Amen.
Hallelujah. So Exodus chapter 12.
I'm getting there. Is where the Passover is
instituted but let's go directs his chapter 14 real quick.
Verse number one of Exodus 14. Okay.
Now the Lord spoke to Moses saying speak to the children of
Israel that they turn and can't before this place between Meg,
do and the Sea opposite Bells. Efron you shall Camp before in
the Seafarer will say, the children of Israel.
They are bewildered by the land, the Wilderness has closed them
in. So what is God doing?
He's bringing them out. But he's also putting them in a
position where pharaohs going to come after him.
Now note, if you read before this is said I'm not going to
leave them a certain way because if they see the war, the
Philistines they're going to freak out when we return.
God, I'll never put more on you than you're able to withstand.
God said, I'm not going to lead them through the Philistines,
but I will take them by the Red Sea, and they can handle that.
So, Pharaoh's heart gets hard, right?
He made ready his chariots, he took 600 Choice, chariots and
verse number 7 verse 8, the Lord hardened the heart of pharaoh,
the king of Egypt, he pursued the Throne of Israel and the
children of Israel went out with bonus.
So the Egyptians pursue them, all their horses, and Chariots
of pharaoh his Horsemen and his army overtook them camping by
the Sea. And when the Pharaoh Drew near
the children of Israel, lifted their eyes and they beheld the
Egyptians that marched after them.
So they were afraid. And the children of Israel cried
out to the Lord. They said to Moses, they said to
leadership Church leadership because there was no graves in
Egypt. Have you taken us away to die in
the wilderness? Why have you dealt with us to
bring us out of Egypt? Is this not the word that we
told you? And listen we told you Leave us
alone that we may serve the Egyptians for would have been
better for us to serve the Egyptians than we should die.
In the wilderness. That is cray cray.
Moses said to the people, the word of raining residents do not
be afraid. Stand still see the Salvation,
Lord, which he will accomplish for you today for the Egyptian
tomb. You see today, you shall not see
again going forward. The Lord will fight for you and
you shall hold your peace. The Lord said to Moses.
Why do the Children Cry? Tell is real go forward.
Today's a time to go forward today's time too.
Advance, always advancing a date.
Today's a time to keep moving forward but you're never going
to do that without speaking or singing the word of God.
Hallelujah. Lift up your Rod, stretch out
your hand over the sea and divide it and the children of
Israel shall go out on dry ground.
So, Moses did what God Said and guess what happened.
The word of the Lord came to pass, the water was split
Israelites went through it. God said he looked down during
the night, confuse the Egyptians chariots, broke their wheels.
They got stuck in the middle of the water.
Moses lifted up his hands on the other side of the red.
See, the water comes back over them.
And guess what? Their drown.
That's symbolic of water baptism.
The old is passed away so the new can come Psalm 15.
We got a choir in the wilderness.
Let's read it. So they get all excited because
of the Deliverance. Look at your neighbor say, break
the cycle. Look at the one other side.
Say quit complaining. Look on their own side.
Quit murmuring. Look straight ahead, said.
I got it. I got it.
There's just something about
that. Hallelujah.
Some people just woke up. I've been trying to Pastor
Marcus about my gift of singing for over a decade.
He's real nice to me and just says, keep working it.
So Moses and children of Israel sang, the song to the Lord and
spoke. I will sing a lord.
He for, he has, triumphed gloriously the horse and it's
Rider. He has thrown in to see the Lord
is my strength and song. He has become my salvation.
He's my God, I will praise him. My father's got I will exalt
him. The Lord is a man of war.
The Lord is his name, Pharaoh's chariots, and his army has cast
into the sea. See his chosen captions
Captain's also are drowned. In the Red Sea The Depths have
covered them. They sank to the bottom like a
stone, your right hand O Lord has become glorious Empower your
right hand. Our Lord has dashed the enemy in
pieces and the greatness of Your Excellence.
You have overthrown. Those Who Rose up against you
you sent forth your wrath and consume them like stubble and
with the blast of your nostrils. The waters were get a tattoo.
Together the flood stood, upright, and a heap.
The Depths congealed in the heart of the sea, The enemy
said, I will pursue our overtake.
I would divide the spoil. My desire shall be satisfied on
them. I will draw my sword.
My hand shall destroy them, but you blew with your wind.
This is what the enemy's talking.
But the Bible says, you blew with your wind, the sea cover
them. They sank like lead in The
Mighty Waters. Who is like you?
Oh Lord. Among the gods who is like you
glorious in Holiness, fearful and Praises doing wonders.
You stretched out your hand, your right hand, the Earth
swallowed them. M, you and your mercy have led
forth to people whom you have redeemed.
You have got to them in your strength to your holy
habitation. The people will hear and be
afraid sorrow will take hold of the inhabitants of philistia.
Then the chiefs of edom's will be dismayed.
The Mighty Men of Moab, trembling will take, hold him
all the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away, dread will fall
on them by the greatness of your arm.
They will be as still as a stone till your priest.
Passover. Lord whom you have purchased,
you will bring them in and plant them in the mountain of your
inheritance in the place. O Lord, which you have made for
your dwelling, the sanctuary, our Lord which your hands have
made the launch of the Lord shall reign forever.
Then listen verse 20, the Miriam, the prophetess, the
sister of Aaron took the Timber on her hand and all the women
went out with her with the timbrel and with the dances we
talked about reverberate and they're playing the temple that
in the wilderness making noise. Eyes, it's resonating.
There's a sound Miriam answer and said sing to the Lord for.
He has triumphed gloriously the horse and it's Rider.
He has thrown into the sea. So they go through a pressure
situation. They praise the Lord and guess
what? They're perfect.
No. What's an esper say?
Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea.
They went out in the wilderness. Three days.
After this great Victory, they came to Mara.
They could not drink the waters for.
They were bitter, the people they complain.
Turn your neighbor. Say I'm going to get it right.
Turn them on the other side. Said I'm getting it right.
Look, straight ahead. Say I'm starting today.
So they went from Victory, praise to complaining God, had
to give an anointed word again, to Moses said, take the tree,
Throw in the water and guess what?
The bitter waters are going to be made.
Sweet. So, guess what happens after
that? Chapter 16.
They journeyed the children of Israel came to Israel, came to
Wilderness, which is between two places there on the 15th day of
the second month after they parted from Land of Egypt there.
Just two months into this journey.
And the children of Israel said, oh, that we had died.
By the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt.
When we sat, by the pots of meat, And when we ate bread to
the full for you, brought us out into the Wilderness to kill us.
This whole community. Then the Lord said to Moses
behold, I'm going to rain down bread from heaven.
So God gives a plan for how he's going to provide for them, which
is a thing called mana mana, literally means what is that?
He said, but God and instructions, you know, law,
when we talk about Kingdom, there's laws in the Kingdom.
And in the Hebrew mine laws, always were a positive because
they gave instruction. We think a laws sometimes in the
- that they're restricting. Thank God for the yellow lines
and the white lines and the speed limit.
And the red light and the green light.
That's not to keep you from having fun.
That's to preserve your life. And that's a positive thing.
Thank God for the law of faithfulness in a marriage,
covenant. From the kingdom because that's
to preserve, right? You step outside that law.
That's going to bring danger death.
And destruction is there. Mercy in that?
Yeah, but have been better to stay Within.
The bounce that God has set, right?
So he gives him a law of how you're going to get the man
every day and do they follow that go out.
Get enough for that day. Don't keep any till the next
day. On the sixth day get double
because the 7th is a day of rest.
So blister, Darlin hearts in their stupid heads.
They still have people after God gave instruction.
Oh, thank God that his Mercy endures forever.
That didn't fall that they kept worms to the next.
They kept bread to the next day. And then guess what?
Its tank and had worms, is your life stinky.
And does it breed worms? Don't answer that.
But if it is, if you're valuing Lord, what do I need to break
free this year? What key in the kingdom?
Do I need talk right into get freedom in my life.
Even on the seventh day, some didn't gather enough and they
went hungry. And God said, you're just not
following instructions after this.
Exodus 17, you think they get it right by then?
Thank God for his Mercy. They start complaining about
water again. We don't have anything to drink
so they go from bitter. Waters to hunger to thirst.
And they want to go backwards instead of forward.
And God saying listen, go forward.
So guess what, even in the middle they're complaining, God
always brings a word to bring deliverance and he gives Moses a
word about the Rock and striking it to bring water.
Then, the next thing comes up, Exodus 17, there's a war that
takes place with the amalekites. Now, amalekites represents your
flesh. Everybody pinch yourself.
Repeat yourself. Your flesh didn't mean for you
to hurt yourself. Somebody said how.
But that's really the amalekites is from generation to
generation. Exodus 17 says.
But it says have they overcome that Moses sat on the Rock Jesus
said Upon This Rock of Revelation.
I'm going to build my church and the Gates of Hell shall not
Prevail against it. Moses set on the Rock and then
Aaron a her lifted, his hands. Remember this is year of raining
residents. One way to praise God, is to
lift your hands and in lifting, your hands here.
Became known as Jehovah, Nissi. The Lord is my banner.
So, you want to get Victory this year?
Do you want Victory this year? I just don't want Victory.
I want a dynasty. For all you unfortunate, Alabama
fans. As painful as it is.
If you're a fan of Alabama, they win year after year after year,
people don't like the Patriots either.
When they were at their Peak because they one year and it
wasn't your team. Hallelujah.
You realize that God wants you to win year after year.
After year, God wants you to win year after year.
After year, Caleb said I'm 85 and I'm gonna win, give me this
mountain. I'm well able, what was his
confession? He was saying the same.
Same thing that God said I'm about to unleash on you right
now. Pastor Marcus, thank you so much
