I I Hallelujah. Well, the Lords, good, Amen, are
excited about the word today, are excited about receiving the
word today, Amen. We're going to be doing
communion a little bit later. And so, you know, as I was
praying today, about an hour and 10 minutes, you know, and I
prayed throughout the week. Really at any time the Lord can
give me a message for service. Sometimes it's later than
earlier. In this case, you know, as I was
praying, I'm like, I'm not getting anything yet, Lord,
nothing, nothing, nothing. But I trust, I trust because,
you know, we could come in here and have service and not preach
at all. And it could just be a totally
different presentation. And he's not obligated to let me
know anything. But he spoke to me and he said
you need to remind them of some things.
And I love the messages of reminder.
Now, when I say that for those who know you don't check out,
but the second thing is when I say reminder, you have to
understand that sometimes there are people in our congregation
right now or that will listen online that this is not
remembering. This is I've never heard that
before. Amen.
Cause again, if you do not exercise even what you know, it
will become weak. I said it become weak.
I mean, we could do a test, although he would not allow it
to happen. But I could have Pastor Mike
come up here on the platform right now right in shorts.
I could have him flex his quad. And then I could say for the
next two years, I want you to do no, legs don't work out on them,
just walk. We take a picture, we can
measure his legs and then he does not do anything with his
legs at all except walk. I guarantee in two years we're
going to be shocked at how much smaller they are.
So again, when we talk about remembering, remembering is at
minimum allowing you to maintain size.
In one sense, maintain. This puts you in a place where
we're not going to lose size. We're not going to lose where
we've attained to it. It strengthens us to maintain
size. All right, So in Second Peter
chapter 1, verses 12 to 13, as you're turning over there, I
just want to thank you for the gifts that you gave to Pastor
Marcy and I for pastor's appreciation.
She mentioned it on Wednesday. I just wanted to mention it on
Sunday. And we just appreciate you
tremendously. I'll be honest with you.
I sometimes wish that we wouldn't do this at all because,
you know, at the end of the day, the Bible talks about honoring
one another. And, and sometimes I feel like
maybe in the church, we start creating these things just
because, you know, we got to put them in calendars.
Is it right to honor those that are in oversight?
Absolutely. You know, but why do we wait
around for one particular month to do something?
You know, I, I feel like maybe I'm going to let our staff know,
let it go because at the end of the day, if it's not something
you want to do at any time, I don't want you to ever feel
pressure that you have to. Right, because I love you,
period. Amen.
So mark that down. Make sure you tell Pastor
Vanessa because he always organizes this stuff.
All right, Second Peter, chapter one, verse 12 through 13.
Again, if you can't remember us for who we are, I mean, it is
what it is. Hallelujah.
Amen. Second Peter chapter one, verse
12 to 13 says. Therefore, I will always be
ready to remind you of these things, even though you already
know them and have been established in the truth which
is present with you. I consider it right.
Say, consider it right. We'll talk about this word.
Consider later on. I consider it right as long as I
am in this earthly dwelling to stir you up by way of reminder
in Psalm chapter 33, verse 9. This is a great thing to keep us
stirred up in, and that is this. He spoke, it was done, He
commanded, and it stood fast. Can I get a better holiday than
that? He spoke.
It was done, He commanded, and it stood fast.
Whoo, glory to God. In the age where everything's
being questioned, this reigned supreme.
He spoke, it was done. He commanded and it stood fast.
Hallelujah. I said Hallelujah.
I don't care about the shifting sands of time.
I don't care about the ebbs and flows of culture of the world.
I'm telling you. He spoke, it was done.
He commanded, it stood fast. Hallelujah.
When your king talks, I said, when your king talks, he's able
to bring it to pass. I said, he's able to bring it to
pass. Come on.
You know, in Romans chapter 10, verse 17, it says this.
So faith comes from hearing and hearing from the word of, of
Christ. Now, I'm not an English scholar
at all, not even close, but I do believe that this verse would
have been better to have said so.
Faith comes by hearing, period. And hearing or our hearing
should be by the word of Christ, because we're all hearing, and
hearing is what's giving us a firm persuasion of the words we
heard of whether we believed it so much we act on it.
We allow it to govern our lives. And there are things I have
faith in that's not in the Bible.
I mean, I am firmly persuaded, and I'll give you one very
practical, I am firmly persuaded that the yellow dotted line on a
highway is able to keep a car coming in the opposite direction
on the other side of the road. That the one on the other side
coming in the opposite direction has the same faith I have in my
lane. And that is because that dotted
yellow lines there that I am to stay on my side.
I'm firmly persuaded I should stay on that side and never
cross that unless you're going too slow in the Prius.
OK, the only vehicle I get behind that they never do the
speed limit because they're watching the little green
battery deal of efficiency. However, but it is safe that you
and again, I'm only packed because it's a dotted line
because if you're gets a strike a solid one on my side it I'm
firmly persuaded I should not because that would make me
unrighteous. Meaning if the police saw me the
law, the one who is able to enforce that law saw me cross
out of my lane with that solid yellow line that I'm subject to
a ticket. Are you hearing me and that
comes by what hearing? How do I know this?
I heard I was taught it is within our culture and I stay
over on my side because it keeps me with life and the one coming
against me towards me In life the goal is for us not to die.
Well you understand God's word is to keep us in life.
That's all it is. So faith comes by hearing.
So whatever you choose to hear, except His truth and act upon,
well guess what? That's what you have faith in
and it can be something that's not even God's Word.
Paul is saying your firm persuasion needs to be in the
Word of God. Why?
Because he spoke and it is done. He commanded and it stood fast
and it does it for all eternity. Isn't that good news?
Now faith comes by hearing. That doesn't mean you have faith
just 'cause you heard. You have faith because you act
on what you heard. Faith though comes by hearing in
in Hebrews chapter one, verse 1. You know this.
The amplified classic says this. Now faith is the assurance the
the confirmation, the title deed, the amplified classic.
I'm going to read out of the confirmation, the title deed of
the things we hope for being the proof of things we do not see
and the conviction of their reality.
That's faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the
senses, meaning we believe what we heard God say more than what
our physical senses can grab hold of.
Again, a point is Jesus is walking on water.
I mean in the natural senses, especially to a professional
fisherman who has jumped out of a boat more than one time in his
life, knows that is impossible. But as he's seeing Jesus walk on
the water, coming to the boat and he no find realizes it's
Jesus, he doesn't just assume, 'cause Jesus did it, I can do
it. OK, Just because Jesus is doing
something doesn't mean you can unless he speaks.
Notice Peter didn't just step out of the boat and come to
Jesus. What did he do?
Lord, if it's you command me to come out, 'cause if I hear you
say I can, then although I have all physical senses and natural
experience that this is crazy and it's not going to happen,
but at your word, come on. At your word bid me command me
to come out. He said, come, four letter word,
come. Peter got out of the boat and
walked on the water as well. But what happened?
See, he's not well versed in water walking, right?
He's well versed in swimming, not in walking on it.
And so when conditions arose that cause fear to enter in, he
began to seek. I'm going to give you a
practical lesson in faith, all right?
Practical lesson in faith. Faith requires us to go against
our natural senses, OK? Faith requires us to go against
our natural senses. All right.
How many you can ride a bike, OK, with every hand up, keep
your hands up. How many of you have not ridden
a bike in You haven't ridden a bike in the last six months?
OK. You haven't ridden a bike in the
last year. You haven't ridden a bike in the
last two years. Oh, this is good.
You haven't ridden a bike in the last three years. 4 and I get
567-8910. All right, I'm looking around.
Why is it all women now? No, there's a guy.
All right, all right, Keith, I can't use you.
You're you're not 100% yet. Who we got back here, Kevin.
Come on, Kevin. Come on down, Kevin.
Now, Kevin, let me ask this question.
Have you ever ridden a bike? Huh.
OK. Now, how many years has it been?
Kevin? You think?
Come on, Don, you live with the man.
At least 11. All right, we'll go over here
then. Let's get over here not to.
Sorry. Sorry, Charlie.
It's Charlie's bike. OK, Now he's riding a bike, but
he hasn't ridden one in 11 years.
And you know the saying, you know, obviously once you get on
a bike, you know, you can just get back on the bike.
You know, it's like, as easy as riding a bike.
But how do you remember the first time you ever got on a
bike? What did that look like?
Right. Come on.
What did that look like? Stay here.
We're going to do a little illustration here.
Come on, jump up here on the bike.
All right? You can ride a bike, right?
OK, but now remember when we first started learning how to
ride a bike? Put your feet on the pedal.
You got them. I got you.
I'm going to hold you. OK, so we're going to pretend
like you don't know how. Now, at this point, you
understand this goes against our natural senses.
The bike is faith. It's the vehicle that gets the
unseen into the scene. So God gives you the bike, but
you have to ride it all right? Now, The thing is, it's kind of
against your senses. I mean, He can walk by himself
once he figured that out. But now when it comes to bike
riding, that's a whole nother ball game.
And he can balance for a little while.
But if he's never done it, So what do we do?
Typically, God helps us in our faith.
Put your feet on the pedals. And so He what goes with us as
he begins, right? This is how we're going like
this. He's helping you.
Then he let's go of that, you know, and then he let's go of
the seat. Are you ready?
I don't know either. You're OK.
And he's like there now. If you start to fall, he's like,
what's he do they catch you? Right.
I mean, if you were a good parent, you did that.
All right. Turn the bike around.
Turn the bike around So when you're a good parent, you're
done. You're running behind it, like.
And then what are you doing as a parent?
Because the father does that. He buys you the bike.
That's faith. He's like, you're doing it.
You're doing it. You're doing it, you're doing
it, you're doing it. And he's running with you,
champion with you. You got it.
You can do this thing. But again, when you first start,
you're a little sketchy, little wobbly, right?
You can be seated. Thank you.
You help me out. Hey, Laura Wade.
Laura Wade, you in here? Is she working?
OK, who's working at cafe today? Who will will in here?
Macy. Macy, get that man whatever he
wants from the cafe after service.
OK, So you know you started you're having to get yourself
because living a life of faith is another environment and you
got to steady yourself. You got to balance yourself
right now again, you know as well as I do what happens, I'm
coming to you. We're not done.
But when you're riding your bike of faith, right, you're doing
what God's called you to do all right, I'm really going to mess
the media team up. That's fine.
I mean, you're going, but you understand every of us when
we're learning faith, we'll get in situations our obstacles may
come and we I staged that. That was pretty good, right?
Anyway, we can wreck. Well, what do you do when it
seems like faith's not faith is still there.
You just have to get up. You got to get back up.
Don't abandoned your faith like some of y'all did when you were
young. You banded it, went home and
your mom and dad's like, where's your bike, right?
And then your parents went, picked your faith up, brought it
back to you, nursed your pain, right?
But then the next day, what are you doing?
Here we go. We're back on it.
And the cool thing about faith is that once you learn it, man,
you can really get moving and you can really get going, right?
You can get going. Feel like a BMX bike guy right
now. Yeah.
Sorry. Excuse me.
All right, we're going back. Now, here's the thing.
When we if you don't watch out, if we don't stay in the things
of God, we'll start living by the natural again and we'll find
ourselves living on our own ability that oh legs blew up a
little bit. Watch out now that we've lived
in natural so that we've not lived where we're calling those
things that be not as though they were.
We're living based upon the blessing we've already received
and the Bible talks about going from faith to faith.
So again, when I get a bike now, I'm like, praise God, right?
Jump on that thing, let's go. Because faith is always going
and you have confidence. So when God gives you faith,
you're like, OK, because you've conditioned yourself to live in
the environment of the unseen. You don't no longer go by your
senses anymore. You're like, bro, the word has
spoken. And when you get real good in
faith, you'll be like those BMX guys that when an obstacle
comes, you know how to jump them, you know how to hop over
them, you know how to slide down a place and then jump off to the
other side. You know, you get so good in
faith that when you come to an obstacle, you'll hit the
obstacle, you'll do a backflip over the obstacle and land on
the other side and keep going. Now the world will call you a
show off when that takes place. But you know, you have practiced
because those guys that do those kind of tricks did it through
many trials, falls. But they said I'm going to get
back on faith. I'm going to keep rioting.
I'm going to beat that obstacle. I'm going to overcome that
thing. I'm going to do that and land
it. 11 years, people. And again, I'm putting him on a
girl bike on top of that. Come on, now.
Come on. See you guys.
This is great. Yeah, this is amazing.
You're doing so much better than I thought.
Come on. Here we go.
Hey, hey, hey. Whoa, whoa.
You can take it on to the back. Man, that was like an anointed
illustration right there. You couldn't have done that
better because when you've been out of faith a little bit,
although you've been on when you first get back, it's a little
shaky. See, the reason why the devil
wants you out of faith is because and then he'll convince
you you you can't ever ride again.
And when you start to try, you're a little, what do we say,
Rusty? You got to knock the rust off.
Are you hearing me? Amen.
So we want to be those individuals that aren't staying
off of faith for a number of years and then having to pick it
up. You don't go to faith when
trouble comes only we want to be in faith for everything, for the
purposes, for the plans of God, for for other people, right?
Because again, you can get so good in your faith that you can
carry someone on it and you can carry a few people, right?
In India they're pretty good at carrying people actually on
their bikes. Now there's motorcycles they do
this on, but then they also do on regular bikes as well.
You know, you got them on the front and you got someone on the
back and then they got a kid on the back of them and they got 2
on their legs here and they're, it's like 5 or 6 people and
someones pedaling, right? So again, you can carry someone
on your faith, but you understand it's more enjoyable
when you go with someone that they have their own faith to
ride alongside you than you having to carry them all the
time, right? And so, you know, put them on
the handlebar, stick them on the back, whatever the case may be.
But the goal is man, let's get you your own faith so you can
ride this ride with me. Amen.
And the greatest thing I love about faith is the skid.
Oh my guys, they're listening to me.
The skid, When you get going real fast down that road, a
little bit of gravel and then you hit that brake, skid, that
thing all the way around like that.
I love to skid right on the top of the devil.
Every dog on time, my faith comes to pass.
I like to skid on him and then pump it so that my tire spins on
his face a little bit. Boom, and then I'm going off to
the next project. You know what I'm talking about.
Now we move this whole analogy over to motorcycles.
That's more power. We into more power now.
Amen. And more power can get you a
higher jump, a longer distance. We have the greatest power
because we have the reigning spirit, we have the reigning
word. And this word will never cause
us to be defeated, be pulled back, to be destroyed, to be
stopped. Nothing of that.
None of that can happen because what I said, I spoke, it stood,
it was done, I commanded, and it stood fast.
Man, aren't you glad God's word reigns supreme?
We know in Romans chapter 4 verses 18 to 21, it says who
contrary to hope, who contrary to hope in hope believed so that
he became the father of many nations.
According to what was spoken, according to what was what
spoken, so shall your descendants be.
And not being weak in faith, he did not consider, say, consider
his own body already did, since he was about 100 years old and
the deadness of Sarah's womb. He did not waver at the promise
of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving
glory to God and being fully convinced that what he had
promised or said, he was also able to perform glory to God.
God will do what he says. Now this word consider, we're
going to look at it in two passive Scripture.
It it, it has some of the same context, OK to it.
But notice what it says here in Romans that Abraham did not
consider. Say not he did not consider.
So in order for your faith to see completions, you're going to
have to have two considerations. You're going to have to have two
considerations. Now, the first consideration is
to what you consider, not what you consider not because the
word consider here means to fix one's eyes or mind upon.
So he considered not, he said. I am not going to look at the
natural. I'm not going to look at it.
If I'm going to be firmly persuaded, fully persuaded,
fully convinced that what God has said will come to pass, then
I cannot look at the natural circumstance.
It tells me it's impossible. It tells me it can't be done.
We have exercised this thing for years and it has never come to
pass. But I cannot consider that
that's not where my eyes or my mind is focused.
Amen. Are you hearing me?
So the first consideration in order for our faith to get to
the place of done is that we don't consider the natural
period. Doesn't mean we're not aware of
it, Doesn't mean we don't know the facts of it.
And we are not in denial of it. We're not in denial.
We are just not considering it as the final say of what's going
on. Because he has spoken.
See, he spoke to Abraham. He spoke to him.
I'm going to make you a father of many nations when he was
still Abram. I'll make you a father of many
nations. I'll make you a father of you
are a father of many nations. Through you a covenant child is
going to come. And not just you through your
through your wife. You mean the one that can't get
pregnant? That's the one.
Now he has said it. He spoke.
It is done. He commanded and it stood fast.
Are you hearing me? So the second thing that we need
to consider so that we can see our faith being done, that's in
Hebrews Chapter 11, verse 11. This is his wife.
By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive
even beyond the proper time of life, for she considered him
faithful who had promised so she did.
The second consideration, Abraham's consideration, was to
not consider the natural. Her consideration was to only be
considering what he had said. In fact, the word consider means
think on the leader's speech. It means to think on the
leader's speech or the one who rules or governs me.
So she said, I am going to think on what the Lord has spoken.
That's what I'm going to think on.
That's what she did. And when she did, she realized
that He was faithful and faithful defined means worthy of
trust. He was worthy of trust because
he had always done what He said. Has God done what He said in
your life? Come on, has He done what he
said in your life? And you know what's so awesome
about God? He proves it right out the gate
the minute you become a child of God.
Now in some cases, and in a lot of cases, honestly, God will
prove it even while you're a Sinner, that if you get around
the environment of God, God through his believers can say
something on behalf of the King by their faith, prove His will,
and He does what He says to help strengthen you when he starts to
speak to you and say you need to receive Jesus Christ as your
Lord and Savior. Now when you hear that as a lost
person or person outside God's Kingdom, and then you act on it.
We all know He does what He says because we become a new creature
in Christ. The old has passed away.
Behold, all things become new. Anyone truly born of God is not
vacillating. It's a mate, a lost person that
has never been in his Kingdom. The minute they accept Jesus
Christ our Lord, they know. They know they have eternal life
and their mind renewal is irrelevant to the reality of
being a new creature in Christ. They know my God.
I'm different, I'm different. I'm free from the shame, the
guilt. I'm free because again, you can
confess, Lord, with your mouth, but your heart be far from it.
And all that was, was a confession that had no results.
But man, when you believe, I believe it.
I don't care how it happened, don't know, I don't understand
it all, but I know this. He said that by his blood He has
forgiven me of all my wrongdoing, my sin.
He's canceled it, moved it out of the way.
I'm going to receive that forgiveness and be born again.
And man, when you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, you know I'm
somebody different on the inside.
I look the same here. And my mind right now still
thinks a certain way at times, but I know I have no doubt I'm a
child of God. I'm a child of God.
So he gives you a convincing proof right out the gate.
Woo. And then if you get in do with
power from on high and you receive that by faith, then
you're talking the language of the Kingdom, constantly
reminding you God did what he said he'd do.
He said he didn't do me with power.
He put power on me. I have the power of God.
You know what evidence is? I'm speaking in other tongues.
Once again, here are two what we call baby are, are, are.
Yeah, elementary expressions are knowledges of God that he
instantly confirms in US. I do what I say, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Amen. So we know Proverbs 3 five and
six says this trust in the Lord because when he's found
faithful, he's worthy of trust, trust in the Lord.
But how do you trust in him? Trust in the Lord with with with
all your as your whole being and do not lean.
So there's a consideration. So when you trust in the Lord
with all your heart, then you're not going to consider your own
understanding. You're you're going into this
life of faith. I'm no longer going to consider
the natural circumstance. I want to consider what has the
leader spoken, the supreme King, the chief shepherd.
And if you weren't here Wednesday night, you need to go
online and listen. It's powerful.
OK, So you do not lean on our own understanding in all in how
many all your in all your ways, not in only in your trials.
Lord, I'm in trouble. I'm having a problem here, man.
Let me pull please. Would you send me a bike that I
can ride? Can you send me some faith
because I'm in trouble? Lord, He's like in all your
ways. Because you know when we get in
all of our ways, there's some trials we will avoid.
There's really some trials you can just avoid all together.
Now again, if you get in a trial that you put yourself in, God is
so merciful to get you out. Your your father is not saying,
well, you got yourself in in a mess, get yourself out.
We say that, but God does not say that.
God may say, well, you're in a mess.
And when you're like, yeah, Dad, I'm in a mess.
Well, you do know how you got here, right?
Yes, Dad, I know how I got here. Well, do you want to stay?
Honestly, Dad, I do not. Well, Dad, would you help me get
out of this mess? Son, daughter, I'd be happy,
thrilled, elated, ecstatic to get you out of this mess.
And this is how you do it. And the minute you hear his
voice on how to do it, that's all the power you need and
you'll come out. And then he'll, he'll put you in
a perspective that you'll won't even have to remember the
mistake you were in. Oh my goodness.
So in all your ways, not just in trials and tribulations, in all
your ways. Acknowledge him and he will.
What's he going to do? He's going to make you pass
straight. Man, I don't know what to do.
He'll make you pass straight. It seems like I can't see around
this thing. He'll make you pass straight.
He does. He's not one to just show you
how to navigate the obstacle. He removes the obstacle.
If a mountain's in a way, it can be removed.
If a tree's gone down, it can be removed because the shortest
distance, I'm getting mathematical now.
The shortest distance between any two points is a straight
line. God doesn't want you to wander
way out here to come back into here because they need to teach
you something out here. God's faith is a straight line.
Here it is. Here it is.
That doesn't mean things don't want to try to get on it.
And God's not asking you to go around it because the shortest
distance is to stay on the line. Because when the devil tries to
throw things on your path, you're like Lord, a tree fell.
He'll say, well, let's get a chainsaw, we'll cut this thing
out. Well, there's a mountain.
Well, let's get some explosives. We'll blow this thing up.
I mean, it doesn't matter. Well, there's a fire in the
middle of the road. That's OK.
I got some water. We'll put it out.
Don't get off your straight course, because what you saw at
the end is still there. And you do not have to go
around. If you get off, he can navigate
you back no problem. But the shortest distance
between any two points is a straight line.
Isaiah 5589 says this for my thoughts.
So we are to acknowledge Him in all our ways.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor your ways.
My ways declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher
than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
thoughts higher than your, my thoughts than your thoughts.
What he is not saying that sometimes gets translated is
that His ways and thoughts are so high we can attain them.
He is not saying that in this passage of scripture.
He is saying don't lean on your own understanding your way and
your thought of overcoming is not how I think and my way of
overcoming lean to me. Acknowledge me because I have a
way of doing things that you could have never considered
before in your life. I do things that you would have
never thought of and I'll tell you what I want and then you can
think like me and do it because my power will cause that faith
to come to pass. You jump down to verse 11 and it
says this verse 11 says, so will my word go, which so will my
word be, which goes forth from my mouth.
It will not return to me empty without accomplishing what I
desire and without succeeding in the manner for which I sent it.
So to do an illustration, let me sit here on the front of the
platform for a minute. Let's pretend that I am God the
Father seated on His throne in heaven at his right hand.
Seated on the throne is Jesus Christ his Son.
OK, The Holy Spirit is not just staying there because you know,
He's the Spirit. He's everywhere, but He has a
direct communication line to the Son.
Seated at the right hand of the Father.
You are in the earth with the Holy Spirit because God has come
down. Glory to God, He's with us,
Amen. And so he's in US and he's come
upon us and he allows us to have direct communication to the
throne room, the throne of grace that we can come to in time of
trouble, in need. And when we when we are in help,
we need help because all, not all of our help is trouble.
Sometimes I just need help to accomplish my purpose.
Sometimes I need help and knowing what I don't know.
I mean, help is pretty general term.
So what we do is we pray, Father, this is where we're at.
In the name of Jesus. He's the authorized one in the
earth. He's the king, right?
He's the one who has died and risen again.
He's the one who got who has received back the dominion Adam
lost and he's extended that to us and now we function in the
earth as his ambassador with his name to carry out God's will.
So he communicates to the Father by the name of Jesus and we're
saying, Lord, we're in this situation or we need to know
this or we are going in this. We have some paths.
Whatever. Whatever the conversation is, it
gets to Jesus by the Holy Ghost. Jesus turns to the Father and
says, what do you want to say? The Father says, Son, tell him
this. Jesus then speaks to the Holy
Spirit. We know this scripture because
it says the Holy Spirit only speaks what he hears from Jesus.
Jesus only says what he hears from the Father.
The Father has the final say. So when the Father speaks to the
Son, the Son speaks to the Spirit, and the Spirit speaks to
you. He has sent his word.
It went forth. Once you receive that word, then
prayer as a king is to declare what you heard, and you say
well, in the name of Jesus, and then you speak what you heard.
Well, when you speak what you heard, it goes back up by the
Spirit to the ears of Jesus, of which Jesus then will
authenticate the sound. Oh, he will authenticate the
sound because when that sound hits his ears, he'll know
whether a firm persuasion is in the voice.
And then does it have the authorization?
He'll hear the sound of faith in the voice and the authorization
in the name of Jesus. Jesus will then turn to the
Father and says. What Pastor Earl, you know,
Sandy, whomever just said in the earth and the Lord says, well,
that's my word, that's my word. So then he says to son, it's
granted. And then Jesus says it's
granted. And then the Holy Spirit,
because we saw it in the days of creation, he hovered over the
earth waiting for the Word, and then he accomplished it.
Then he hears from the King what I say it's granted, thank you,
it's granted. Then it materializes from the
unseen into the scene, and now it we fulfill the scripture that
says is this is the confidence that we have.
If we ask anything according to his will, he hears us and we
have what we have said or spoken.
So that's how your prayers are working.
Your prayers are, Lord, what do you need me to say about this?
And the father's like say this. The son says, say this.
The Holy Spirit says say this. Then you say that.
And then the Spirit comes up and says he said this.
And the Jesus says I've authenticated that's faith.
He goes to the to the Father says he said this.
And the Father says, well, he should have confidence because
that's what I said, and he's going to have it or she's going
to have it, Glory to God, Amen. And that's anything he says
without doubting. I said without doubting, Amen.
So we see then here in Psalms 119, verse 15 to 16, he says, I
will meditate on your precepts and regard your ways.
I shall delight in your statutes.
I shall not forget your word. The number one enemy to you
having faith that's done is forgetting.
Don't forget. We can't forget.
We must meditate. We must stay with the word we
heard. We must speak that word.
We must be firmly persuaded, and that word is going to come to
pass. What is a New Testament
equivalent of this particular Psalm of 119, which Psalms 119
is such an amazing chapter. Oh my gosh, it's such an amazing
chapter. It is the key to life.
I'm telling you, it's the key to life.
Psalm 60, Psalm 6, verse 33. I mean, not Psalm Matthew 633.
This is your new covenant equivalent, but seek first His
Kingdom and His, and all these things will be added to you.
The word seek means to seek in order to find out by thinking or
meditating. So when we're seeking, we're
trying to find out what the Father's thoughts are, which
when we get his thoughts in ways, then we understand his
righteousness, which righteousness is his way of
doing it, right. And so when we understand his
way of doing it, then they're at it.
We have what we say. I said we have what we say and
This is why it's so important in the dispensation we're in as a
church is to seek the Kingdom. What's the king saying?
What is the King? Because Jesus is crowned King,
He has been consummated in heaven as King.
When he went and poured his blood on the mercy seat of in
heaven, God did a coordination and and crowned him King of
heaven, earth and under the earth.
Hallelujah and so when he returns, he doesn't return as a
suffering servant, but he comes as a reigning king.
He's already laid down his life as the lamb that was slain.
The blood has been applied. The blood has there.
And the reason why we remember the blood we remember the
crucifixion is because it's what gave us access to new life.
It gave us a spirit that's alive to God.
It gave us spiritual ears to hear the Holy Ghost.
It gave us the ability to know that when the king speaks, when
the where, where there's a word of the king, there's power.
When he speaks, it's done. When he commands, it stands
fast. Amen.
Hallelujah.
