00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,500
Thanks for checking out the 
anchor Faith. 

2
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:08,900
Message podcast from st. 
Augustine Florida. 

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:15,500
Now enjoy this message today. 
I want to start in Ephesians 

4
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:19,300
chapter 5 verse 28 to 35. 
I'm going to read out of the 

5
00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:21,700
passion translation. 
I believe it to be a 

6
00:00:21,708 --> 00:00:26,600
continuation from the weekend 
and it says, husbands have the 

7
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,800
obligation of loving and caring 
for their wives the same way. 

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,900
They love and care for their own
bodies. 

9
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,000
For to love your wife, is to 
love your own self. 

10
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:38,500
No one abuses his body, but 
Pampers, it serving in 

11
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:41,400
satisfying, its knees. 
That's exactly what Christ does 

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:53,400
for his church verse 30. 
He serves and satisfies us as 

13
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,500
members of his body. 
For this reason, a man is to 

14
00:00:56,500 --> 00:01:00,100
leave the father, his father and
his mother and lovingly. 

15
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:03,200
Hold to his wife. 
Since the two have become joined

16
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,600
as one flesh, marriage is the 
beautiful design of the 

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,500
almighty, a great and sacred 
mystery meant to be a vivid 

18
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:16,400
example of Christ. 
And his church, Jesus said in 

19
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,900
Matthew 16:18, he said, but I 
say to you that you are Peter 

20
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,800
Matthew 16:18 that you are Peter
and Upon This Rock. 

21
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:30,500
I will build my church and the 
Gates of Hell or Hades will not 

22
00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:33,100
overpower it. 
In the series, we've done in the

23
00:01:33,100 --> 00:01:37,000
past called, I'll build my 
church or my church. 

24
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:42,300
Jesus says his word, my is of me
in my pocket. 

25
00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:45,600
Here is a handkerchief and it's 
mine and I could pull it out and

26
00:01:45,608 --> 00:01:47,900
throw it down. 
It would still be mine, but it 

27
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:54,200
would not be of me although a 
smile on Jesus in this context 

28
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,900
says I will build my church, 
meaning of me, it's like my arm.

29
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:03,500
Now, if I cut my arm off, that's
going to be a different story. 

30
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,300
Are you hearing me? 
I can throw my handkerchief down

31
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:10,800
and come back and get it a month
later and it doesn't matter. 

32
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:14,600
I throw my arm off my body a 
month, come back and there's a 

33
00:02:14,608 --> 00:02:18,000
problem. 
I said there's a problem, it's 

34
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,900
going to be very difficult to 
reattach it without some 

35
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:26,900
Supernatural taking place. 
Are you hearing me because the 

36
00:02:26,900 --> 00:02:31,600
blood in my body is what causes 
every member of my body to be 

37
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,100
sustained and maintain life. 
You cut the blood supply off and

38
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:38,900
it begins to die. 
Amen. 

39
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,200
So then Jesus says this in 
Colossians chapter 1 or Paul 

40
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,100
writing concerning Jesus and his
church in Colossians 1:18 he he 

41
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:50,900
is also the head of the body, 
the church. 

42
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,700
He is the beginning, the 
firstborn from the dead so that 

43
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:59,700
he himself will come to have 
first place in everything. 

44
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:02,200
So Jesus is the head of the 
church. 

45
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,100
So Jesus and the church are 
connected. 

46
00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:09,100
Just as much as my head is 
connected to my body. 

47
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:18,800
So, church is not something we 
do, it's something we are We are

48
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,100
of Christ. 
We don't go to church, we are 

49
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:27,100
the church. 
So we don't go to church, we are

50
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:29,500
the church. 
We are the dishes. 

51
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:31,600
Why people say, well, it's not a
build in any, you're right? 

52
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,700
It's not, but you can't be the 
church by yourself. 

53
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,600
No more than my finger Can Be Me
by itself. 

54
00:03:40,900 --> 00:03:44,500
Now, we can be my finger but if 
it's disconnected it's not 

55
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:49,000
working well and I can't have 
the use of it in my hand because

56
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,800
it's no longer attached. 
So we can boast its mind all day

57
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,900
long, but it serves no purpose. 
I said it serves no purpose and 

58
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:01,900
it doesn't have life unless you 
are under understand that when 

59
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:05,900
you were born again that he 
wrote your name down in glory, 

60
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:08,800
it was not so that you could go 
to heaven, but it's so that you 

61
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,600
could become Um, a Son of God, a
child of God and he could attach

62
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,600
you to his body. 
I said he could attach you to 

63
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,100
his body turned over to 1st 
Corinthians. 

64
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:22,100
Chapter 12, First Corinthians 
chapter 12 and verse 18. 

65
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:26,400
I love this verse because if the
body of Christ would get this 

66
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,000
verse, then we would dominate 
The Globe. 

67
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,200
Immediately we would immediately
dominate The Globe says, but now

68
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,000
God. 
But now whoo-hoo-hoo God has 

69
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,400
placed Place the members. 
Why are you searching for 

70
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:49,200
church? 
Let's just be honest. 

71
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,300
If you're searching for a church
and you have to show up to 

72
00:04:51,308 --> 00:04:54,100
determine if it's for you, 
you're not really good at being 

73
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:58,500
led by the spirit. 
Let's just be honest because if 

74
00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:00,600
you were really led by the 
spirit, you can hear it first 

75
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,300
and show up there to the church.
The one that's where you 

76
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:05,300
immediately, without any 
guesswork. 

77
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:12,700
Hallelujah. 
But you show up because you need

78
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:17,700
to see you need to hear. 
Those are things that are 

79
00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:19,900
seeing. 
We're not led by what we see or 

80
00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:23,000
hear were led by what we know on
the inside. 

81
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:27,200
Now if you come and you don't 
know yet, that's fine. 

82
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,200
I don't have a problem with that
because God will help navigate 

83
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,700
you, but at the end of the day, 
you're going to hear hear. 

84
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,000
Because if you're making a 
decision to attach to a local 

85
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,900
body based upon what you see, 
and what you hear, and what you 

86
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:45,800
like, That is you placing 
yourself and not God. 

87
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:49,600
I said it's you placing yourself
and not God. 

88
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,900
This is why he said In this 
passage of scripture, the hand 

89
00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:55,700
can I say to the foot? 
I don't need you. 

90
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Well, I'm not going to go to 
that when I don't like it, but 

91
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,700
if the Lord says, but that's 
where I need you. 

92
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,200
Hallelujah. 
But now, God has placed the 

93
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,500
members, which one of them, 
which one? 

94
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,100
Each one of them. 
Not just the pastor's, not just 

95
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:20,900
the apostles, not just the 
prophets evangelist and 

96
00:06:20,900 --> 00:06:26,300
teachers, but that's the Saints.
Each member he places them in 

97
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:30,900
the body, just as he desires 
where he wants you, what he 

98
00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:33,200
wants you to do, where he wants 
you to be. 

99
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,100
Now, why is this important? 
Because the churches of Jesus, 

100
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:42,400
and Jesus will not abuse his 
body, Jesus does mutilated. 

101
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,200
Jesus doesn't cut it. 
Jesus doesn't pound on it. 

102
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,400
Don't abuse it. 
A man cutting and beating on 

103
00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:00,000
himself. 
Has a demon probably Oh, you 

104
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,700
don't hear this, okay? 
If a man is bruising his own 

105
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:07,300
physical body cutting and 
beating on himself, we have 

106
00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:10,800
scriptural evidence that they're
probably possessed of a demon. 

107
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:15,600
No wonder men. 
Do they said they are not going 

108
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,000
to intentionally try to hurt 
themselves. 

109
00:07:19,300 --> 00:07:22,400
So we should never intentionally
try to hurt our wives. 

110
00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:29,100
Because Jesus has never 
intentionally, never 

111
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:33,500
intentionally and 
unintentionally, is he hurting 

112
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:36,400
his body? 
That's why a lot of pulpits have

113
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,100
false Doctrine when they're 
saying, God, put that sickness 

114
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:40,900
on you to teach something that's
a lie. 

115
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:44,900
He's not abusive like that. 
I said, he's not abusive like 

116
00:07:44,900 --> 00:07:46,400
that. 
No, he's the Healer. 

117
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,200
I said he's the Healer. 
Now the devil puts sickness on 

118
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,600
you, if you don't judge your 
body, right? 

119
00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:56,000
Lee and you just keep ingesting,
a bunch of chemicals, will guess

120
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,800
what? 
Your body is going to respond. 

121
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,300
And that's not a god problem. 
That's a cigarette problem. 

122
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:10,800
That's a high fructose. 
And other things issue. 

123
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,800
Amen. 
If you don't judge your body, 

124
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,900
well, God's in control. 
If he wants me to be healthy, I 

125
00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:20,700
will no no. 
Don't put water in your car. 

126
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:28,700
Just go ahead and fill it up 
with water from your, your, your

127
00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:32,799
garden hose. 
See how far it goes then when 

128
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:35,799
you go to the mechanic and say, 
well, you know, I just believe 

129
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:45,700
God would take care of it. 
They're like, Well, amen. 

130
00:08:46,300 --> 00:08:50,000
No the Lord has given us wisdom 
right now? 

131
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,100
If we accidentally put water in 
the car, can he do something 

132
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:56,100
about it? 
Amen. 

133
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:59,700
Can't he clean it out? 
Does that mean the car is gone? 

134
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,600
Maybe not. 
May have to rebuild it. 

135
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,600
And some of us we need to 
rebuild some things. 

136
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,700
God can rebuild our bodies, but 
he's not putting something in 

137
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:13,800
you to harm you. 
He's only putting things in need

138
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,400
to keep you running at 
Perfection. 

139
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:17,700
He plays your where he wants it 
to be. 

140
00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:22,300
Why is this important because he
loves us, he cherishes us, and 

141
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:24,800
Ephesians tells us this 
relationship between Christ and 

142
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,300
the church is like a marriage 
relationship and as Pastor Marcy

143
00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:30,200
said today, the reason why so 
much Freedom came in the house 

144
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,400
today is because so many 
marriages got right this 

145
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:38,600
weekend. 
But I would say this is really 

146
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,500
what took place and is found in 
Revelation Chapter 2 because I 

147
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:47,900
believe all of us, run the risk 
of Revelations chapter 2 at 

148
00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:51,100
times in our own personal life. 
Now, Jesus is speaking to a 

149
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:53,800
church specifically, he's 
talking to the church at Ephesus

150
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:56,800
and he's talking to them about 
the things they've done 

151
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:02,100
extremely well, but he had one 
thing against them, one problem,

152
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:05,600
one issue. 
And it was a serious issue. 

153
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,900
I said it was a serious issue. 
He sells them in verse 2. 

154
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:12,900
He says, I know your deeds, and 
you're told and perseverance and

155
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:18,900
that you cannot tolerate evil 
men, and you put to the test 

156
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:22,600
those who call themselves 
Apostles and they are not and 

157
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,500
you found them to be false. 
And you have persevered and have

158
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:32,000
endured to my name sake, or for 
my name's sake and have not 

159
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,100
grown weary. 
He said, but I have this against

160
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:38,700
you that you have left your 
first love. 

161
00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:44,600
He said, therefore remember from
where you have fallen repent, 

162
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:48,500
repent and do the Deeds you did 
it first or else I'm coming to 

163
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:52,200
you and will remove your 
lampstand out of its place. 

164
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,700
Unless you what? 
Repent then he recognize another

165
00:10:56,700 --> 00:11:00,300
thing, they hated that he hates 
himself and he says Those Who 

166
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:04,200
hear he'll overcome 
Specifically. 

167
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,300
Now, what's interesting about 
this is that he said, you've 

168
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:09,900
lost your first love when we 
deal with marriage. 

169
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:12,800
Is a lot of times when we come 
down and say I do, there are a 

170
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,700
lot of things we're doing prior 
to the. 

171
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:18,800
I do moment, we're very 
attentive to one another, we 

172
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,900
care about one another. 
You know, we were courting, we 

173
00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:25,500
are, we are doing everything to 
make sure they know that I'm the

174
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:30,000
one forever. 
We're nice work. 

175
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:37,800
God, we're long-suffering, we're
merciful, when argument comes we

176
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,700
drive where the where the we try
to get rid of it as quick as we 

177
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:46,900
can because, so we can kiss, we 
want the kiss and make up, we 

178
00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:51,100
don't want the argument. 
But once we've come together, we

179
00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:53,900
become one flesh. 
We've been in the house together

180
00:11:53,900 --> 00:11:56,800
for a year. 
Two years, a honeymoons, Over 

181
00:11:56,900 --> 00:11:58,300
All. 
All of a sudden those beautiful 

182
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:00,000
feet, don't look so beautiful 
anymore. 

183
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,800
The routine of coming home to 
the same person. 

184
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:11,800
The routine of hearing the same 
voice, the routine of living 

185
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,300
life day in and day out all of a
sudden. 

186
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:16,900
It's not that they're not the 
same person or that they've even

187
00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:19,300
progressed and become someone 
even greater in God. 

188
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,500
It's just that to us, it becomes
familiar. 

189
00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:27,400
And we do this with the church, 
the reason why the atmosphere 

190
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,500
and worships like this today is 
because we were renewed for 

191
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:32,500
those. 
You know, when you get 160 

192
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:35,800
people, they get jacked excited 
about their relationship with 

193
00:12:35,900 --> 00:12:38,700
Another and how that is an 
example of their relationship 

194
00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:41,100
with God and they're like, man, 
I'm just need to come in here 

195
00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:44,500
and worship my king because I 
was forgetting about the wife of

196
00:12:44,508 --> 00:12:48,000
my youth and how beautiful she 
was and how awesome she is. 

197
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,200
And you know what, she's really 
gone through a lot in his past, 

198
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,300
a lot of tests. 
And who am I to complain about 

199
00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:54,000
this? 
I'm actually a really blessed 

200
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,000
man. 
And the wives are saying, you 

201
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,800
know what, my husband has done a
really good job. 

202
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,100
Actually, you know, when I look 
at all that, they've done where 

203
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:05,400
they could, what could be mad? 
What am I doing? 

204
00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:08,400
And all of a sudden we've renew 
and then when we get into places

205
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,500
that we don't care but you know 
what? 

206
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:15,000
We apply Faith to it. 
Then things begin to manifest 

207
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:17,600
and then when we get crazy and 
actually have sex with one 

208
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:23,300
another like more than the world
does because we're the only 

209
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:27,200
lawful authorized people to have
that kind of form of intimacy. 

210
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,200
Amen. 
I will not let the world out. 

211
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:38,200
Sleep me. 
It's not going to happen. 

212
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:40,600
Y'all gonna be alright. 
Some of y'all struggling 

213
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:41,900
already. 
All right. 

214
00:13:42,700 --> 00:13:44,700
Good thing. 
We don't have to bail because I 

215
00:13:44,700 --> 00:13:46,500
understand, we have kids. 
They need to learn. 

216
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,600
Don't think these teenagers 
aren't seeing this on Snapchat, 

217
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,600
Tick-Tock, don't think they have
it on sitcom all day here. 

218
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,600
Seen his guys, holding hands 
girls kissing and I'm going to 

219
00:13:55,608 --> 00:13:58,200
talk about sex right now in the 
church because we have 

220
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,100
children's ministry and they 
could be there, the youth are 

221
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:02,700
here. 
And they definitely need to hear

222
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:05,100
about this because have them 
been sending tick-tock. 

223
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,400
New photos of each other around 
and that needs to stop. 

224
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,900
Are you hearing me because we'll
lose our? 

225
00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:21,100
First loves will, make sure to 
routine and we won't get up in 

226
00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:23,300
here and worship. 
God be passionate about the one 

227
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:28,400
who laid down his life for died 
on the cross. 

228
00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:32,600
Are you hearing me? 
No, we need to be an example in 

229
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,100
the home and then let it 
overflow into the church. 

230
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:38,600
Wow, because we're in the church
first. 

231
00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:42,300
I said we're in the church 
first. 

232
00:14:42,300 --> 00:14:44,100
How do I know this? 
All you got to do is go back to 

233
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:46,600
the book of Beginnings. 
In the beginning, God created 

234
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,600
the heavens and the Earth. 
He makes all these great things 

235
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,000
then he says, let us make man in
our image, according to our 

236
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,700
likeness. 
And he makes this Man Out of the

237
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:57,100
Dust of the earth, breathed into
his nostrils, the breath of 

238
00:14:57,100 --> 00:15:00,400
life, and he became a Living 
spirit a living Soul. 

239
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,200
He's in the image of God, the 
DNA of God, he has a direct 

240
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,000
relationship with God and he's 
the only person in the planet. 

241
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,900
Are you hearing me? 
And then he says, it's not good 

242
00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:20,000
for man to be alone. 
So he has him fall down into a 

243
00:15:20,008 --> 00:15:22,500
deep sleep. 
He doesn't make another skin 

244
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:32,900
suit and breathe into it. 
He pulled out of the man from 

245
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:35,600
the side of the man. 
What was already contained 

246
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,900
within the man? 
And he formed a woman. 

247
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:45,500
And when Adam saw this, he said 
this is woman. 

248
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,500
She's bone of my bone and Flesh 
of My Flesh, man, shall leave 

249
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:50,800
his father and mother and cleave
to his wife and they'll become 

250
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,300
one flesh. 
Meaning we have a relationship, 

251
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,700
this spirit that all of a sudden
got multiplied into two. 

252
00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:04,900
Had a relationship with God 
before we ever said I do. 

253
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,800
So it didn't God marriage or God
Family Church. 

254
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:18,800
It's God Church. 
You're not going to have family.

255
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,200
You're not going to have 
marriage and do nothing until 

256
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,700
you realize you're of the church
that the relationship with God 

257
00:16:25,700 --> 00:16:29,300
is supreme and Authority. 
Because when Jesus says here in 

258
00:16:29,300 --> 00:16:32,100
Revelations, he said, you've 
lost your first love. 

259
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:36,300
He says, you've forgotten the 
priority that I am to be 

260
00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:41,200
preeminent in all your life and 
your decision making and how you

261
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,500
do everything you have come in. 
Into my presence in a 

262
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:49,900
traditional sense, knowing what 
to do, but you don't actually 

263
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:52,800
consult me first. 
You don't make me first 

264
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,200
priority. 
You show up when you want to, 

265
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,000
you come when you want to, you 
do what you want to do, then you

266
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,300
consult with me. 
You take things that were of 

267
00:17:00,300 --> 00:17:04,500
mine, do it in your own ability,
and then 20 give me glory for 

268
00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:08,000
it. 
The minute I slipped a second. 

269
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,900
That's a problem. 
And immediately we in our 

270
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:16,700
weekend of our marriage banquet.
The only reason why these 

271
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:19,599
marriages were on fire is 
because they didn't put that 

272
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:23,099
relationship as a higher 
priority than their work 

273
00:17:23,099 --> 00:17:26,400
relationship. 
Then their children 

274
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,500
relationships. 
Then the friend relationships 

275
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:35,000
because they got bored with 
someone they became familiar, 

276
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,800
they forgot to see you then 
since the butterflies in their 

277
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,200
stomach, what made them fall in 
love with them in the first 

278
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,200
place? 
Because in actuality, you're of 

279
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,000
me. 
How can I look at you and not 

280
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,200
see me? 
I said how can I look at you and

281
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,600
not see me, this is what Jesus 
said how can I look at you and 

282
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,500
not see me because you're of me 
you're my church and you know 

283
00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:00,900
Jesus Longs just spend time with
us. 

284
00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:05,100
So once your church look like 
you come in ready. 

285
00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:06,900
Excited. 
Can't wait to assemble with the 

286
00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:09,500
rest of the safe because God's 
playing at me and anchor, Faith 

287
00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:13,100
Church, it pleased him so that I
could grow Prosper, strengthen 

288
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:15,900
gonna be something great. 
He put me in his kingdom. 

289
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:19,200
So the king can oversee my life 
and make me a child of the king.

290
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,900
So I'm a king itself because 
he's the king of who are those 

291
00:18:22,900 --> 00:18:25,200
kings? 
You are those kings right now? 

292
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:32,100
Not when you get to heaven. 
But today today, so I Jesus said

293
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:34,400
You pray, pray this way, Our 
Father who art in heaven, 

294
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,800
Hallowed Be Your Name, Your 
Kingdom Come your will be on as 

295
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,000
it is. 
We don't have to wait to heaven 

296
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:44,600
to get heaven to show up in our 
lives because the kings of the 

297
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,800
Earth have dominion again but 
that's when God's first. 

298
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:55,100
When he's first, when he's first
when he's first when he's 

299
00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:59,500
preeminent. 
When he's the source and supply 

300
00:19:00,100 --> 00:19:04,100
of all that we are and do and 
know that if I Seek You first, 

301
00:19:04,100 --> 00:19:07,300
then it just overflows into my 
marriage, it overflows into my 

302
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:08,800
relationships. 
They were, but I'm not even 

303
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,700
married Pastor. 
I'm just a single person within 

304
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:13,600
you ought to be the first one in
church. 

305
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,000
You ought to be the first one. 
Why? 

306
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,500
Because you should have Paul 
said, listen in First 

307
00:19:22,500 --> 00:19:24,400
Corinthians 7. 
He said, listen, it's not a 

308
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,600
command, it's just my opinion. 
But listen, if you can remain 

309
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,900
single do so because you don't 
have to deal with the spouse, 

310
00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:33,500
meaning you have to care for 
them. 

311
00:19:33,500 --> 00:19:35,100
That's someone you're going to 
have to be obligated. 

312
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:38,100
That's someone you got to you're
not independent of you are fully

313
00:19:38,100 --> 00:19:40,600
dependent on them, you're going 
to serve them, you're gonna 

314
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,000
cater to them, you're going to 
prefer them, you're going to 

315
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,900
honor them male or female, 
doesn't matter in the marriage 

316
00:19:45,900 --> 00:19:48,400
relationship, husband and wives 
are doing this. 

317
00:19:48,500 --> 00:19:51,200
And they're jockeying to serve 
each other because they want to 

318
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,100
be able to be a blessing to one 
another. 

319
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:57,000
But when you're single, you can 
just focus on God and God Alone.

320
00:20:00,300 --> 00:20:05,000
So, you have to be first here. 
First one down in the altar. 

321
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,400
First one worshiping God. 
First one running. 

322
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,700
Because your whole relationship 
is driven by the king of glory. 

323
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:17,600
Hey men, are you running around?
Trying to find your man? 

324
00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:22,900
Are you running around trying to
find you a woman instead of 

325
00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:29,600
letting God bring them? 
Hey men, he'll bring them. 

326
00:20:30,300 --> 00:20:32,800
I said he'll bring go and it's 
not on your time. 

327
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,100
Has on his time. 
As some of you need to get some 

328
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:40,500
things right before he can bring
them because he has for you is 

329
00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:44,900
better than you think and you 
don't have to settle so you need

330
00:20:44,900 --> 00:20:48,300
to be the best for them. 
Are you hearing me? 

331
00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:52,000
But this just comes Natural. 
When you love God, I'll say that

332
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,200
comes natural when you love God.
And so, man, we get in an 

333
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,000
atmosphere like today. 
Why? 

334
00:20:57,100 --> 00:21:05,300
Because we begin to remember 
intimacy intimacy. 

335
00:21:12,100 --> 00:21:18,200
Alleluia, this is why I struggle
sometimes with how churches 

336
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:24,300
become institutionally speaking.
Bring it on man. 

337
00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:35,500
Getting them out, just lectures.
It's just lectures. 

338
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,000
Let me ask this, who said you 
had to be in your seat right 

339
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,500
now, and you couldn't come down 
and begin to worship God right 

340
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:42,500
here. 
Now, you're not gonna be able to

341
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:45,000
interrupt a sermon but who says 
that, if God didn't move, you 

342
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,800
couldn't come down here and just
begin to minister to him. 

343
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,100
They said you had to wait till 
an altar call to say, man, I 

344
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:56,600
need get it right? 
I got to come down and get 

345
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:06,300
right. 
Hey, men mean as long as you 

346
00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:08,300
don't attack the stage, there's 
going to be no problem. 

347
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:11,400
If you take the stage is going 
to be a problem. 

348
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,900
It's not lecture moments. 
These are intimate moments. 

349
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:25,000
Why cannot are singing go 
longer? 

350
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,300
It depends on how much we just 
want to sing. 

351
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,800
And the Lord says oh they're not
just doing a routine. 

352
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,200
Let's just sit here, this a 
little bit longer. 

353
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,700
Then the atmosphere stays and in
that atmosphere people get 

354
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:47,700
healed, demons, get cast out, 
start running shave, a demon. 

355
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:50,900
Could come here, demon came in 
the synagogue's with Jesus, but 

356
00:22:50,900 --> 00:22:54,500
he kicked him out. 
Right. 

357
00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:57,200
They're not going to stand 
against the anointing not in 

358
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,700
this house. 
Amen. 

359
00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:03,100
Why? 
Because God is in this place, 

360
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,800
and he's looking for a church 
that wants to be intimate. 

361
00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:09,300
I mean, we're full of 
instruction, we're going to 

362
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:12,200
continue to grow and have those 
expressions. 

363
00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:15,000
But I believe, God, just wants 
us to minister to him. 

364
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:29,100
Jesus said, In Ephesians chapter
5. 

365
00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:37,500
The passion translation. 
Verse 32. 

366
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,000
He says marriage is a beautiful 
design of the almighty of great 

367
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,900
and sacred mystery. 
Meant to be a vivid example. 

368
00:23:56,100 --> 00:24:08,400
Of Christ and his church. 
I love all aspects of my wife, 

369
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:12,800
Spirit soul and body. 
I love her by her spirit first 

370
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,900
because she's a conqueror in 
Christ. 

371
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,800
And I've seen her through her 
soul realm, her mind, her will 

372
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:25,300
and her emotions yield in every 
test to what the spirit of God 

373
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:27,400
says, to her spirit, she's an 
overcomer. 

374
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,500
That's the sexiest thing on the 
face of the planet. 

375
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:38,500
The body is just what houses 
her. and so, when I'm around 

376
00:24:38,500 --> 00:24:42,100
her, I'm not intimate with her 
just because of her outside, but

377
00:24:42,108 --> 00:24:49,100
because who she is really on the
inside, I like to drive and I 

378
00:24:49,100 --> 00:24:51,000
reach over and she touches my 
hand. 

379
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:05,500
I like to hear your voice. 
When I'm traveling, she's not 

380
00:25:05,500 --> 00:25:09,100
there because of technology. 
I FaceTime. 

381
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:16,400
If I could FaceTime, God, I 
would I much rather see her, 

382
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,300
then just hear voice. 
But at times of all I can do is 

383
00:25:19,300 --> 00:25:21,100
hear of Our Song with just want 
to hear her voice. 

384
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,700
Because we're intimate, then 
there's times we come together. 

385
00:25:30,900 --> 00:25:32,400
You'll know what I'm talking 
about coming together. 

386
00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:40,100
And sometimes in those moments 
it's like don't stop. 

387
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,300
Can this thing last for five 
hours? 

388
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:54,900
No, all right, don't look at me 
like that cause all y'all going 

389
00:25:54,900 --> 00:25:57,900
to movies and you're seeing, 
fornicators and adulterers 

390
00:25:58,100 --> 00:26:02,000
relationships all the time, you 
don't ever see in the movies, 

391
00:26:02,100 --> 00:26:14,100
husband and wives in the bed. 
But it's like, man, I don't want

392
00:26:14,100 --> 00:26:17,900
this to end. 
But we come to church. 

393
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,500
And we could have an intimacy 
with God greater than that 

394
00:26:22,500 --> 00:26:28,500
moment. 
When we know how to make him 

395
00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:32,500
first. 
To, where will I don't want it 

396
00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:37,500
to end. 
What would it look like if we 

397
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:39,900
all showed up and says we're 
going to press in and be 

398
00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:46,000
intimate with God and it just 
became so full of his spirit 

399
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,800
that were like man I just don't 
want to see any you're not 

400
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:53,400
going. 
Now maybe a guest to do that. 

401
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,900
I get it. 
You know they don't maybe they 

402
00:26:55,900 --> 00:26:57,400
don't know who they are in 
Christ. 

403
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,600
Maybe they're just checking it 
out. 

404
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,300
Trying to see what fits them, 
you know, they don't know, they 

405
00:27:03,300 --> 00:27:08,200
don't know any better. 
But for us, you know, we should 

406
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,900
give such a vivid example, not 
only in our personal lives in 

407
00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:13,700
husband and wife, because we 
prefer each other, but when we 

408
00:27:13,700 --> 00:27:17,100
come together in this thing that
we're so passionate about God, 

409
00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:20,100
let me just tell you something. 
If you have a bad marriage, 

410
00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:22,300
you're uncomfortable with those 
who have good ones. 

411
00:27:26,300 --> 00:27:27,800
And you don't want to hang out 
with them. 

412
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,500
So that's why some people aren't
going to come and stay at a cafe

413
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:34,300
church because we have such a 
great relationship in our 

414
00:27:34,300 --> 00:27:43,100
worship. 
And so free to have expressions.

415
00:27:44,900 --> 00:27:49,200
Are you hearing me? 
Are you just passionate for the 

416
00:27:49,200 --> 00:28:02,100
Lord? 
What rekindles things that are 

417
00:28:02,100 --> 00:28:07,200
personal marriages old photos 
memories of things we did. 

418
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,400
Looking back at our children, 
when they were just babies 

419
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:15,600
putting ourselves in those 
moments that remind us of why we

420
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,300
were together. 
How much more in the church 

421
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:22,400
were, like, but God being rich 
in his Mercy, while we were 

422
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,700
still sinners Christ died for 
me. 

423
00:28:25,300 --> 00:28:31,800
He died for me when I was 
separated, cast-off, doomed, in 

424
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,400
Rebellion. 
But God. 

425
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,500
And fulfillment of his father's 
word. 

426
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,800
Gave me an opportunity that by 
faith. 

427
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,000
I could call on his name and get
back into the house, not just 

428
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,500
getting the house. 
So I can go to heaven when I 

429
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:48,600
die, but get back in the house 
and begin to live with him. 

430
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,500
Now, begin to sit with him now, 
be a part of the vine now, 

431
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,600
getting grafted in now have 
fruit now. 

432
00:28:56,300 --> 00:29:01,600
Be intimate with God, now hear 
his voice and at times, even get

433
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:09,500
caught up in the spirit. 
And the naturally say, when's 

434
00:29:09,500 --> 00:29:10,800
the last time you dated your 
wife? 

435
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:11,900
When's the last time you did 
this? 

436
00:29:11,900 --> 00:29:13,400
When's the last time you did 
that? 

437
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,900
When's the last time you came to
church and said, I'm not going 

438
00:29:20,900 --> 00:29:27,200
to leave till I touch him. 
And get what I came for. 

439
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:35,400
We'll get what I came for 
because he wants to see me. 

440
00:29:35,500 --> 00:29:38,700
He wants to talk to me. 
He wants to spend time with me. 

441
00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:48,700
Stand to your feet. 
There's an anointing here. 

442
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:54,400
To rekindle your first love. 
And anointing. 

443
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,800
There's an anointing here. 
And you just going to have to be

444
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,300
honest with yourself, just like 
all the marriage couples had to 

445
00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:05,200
be honest with themselves this 
weekend. 

446
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,100
We're hearing a lot of great 
reports, great testimonies of 

447
00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:15,200
how God ministered to them and 
their marriages are being 

448
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:20,700
strengthened and encouraged. 
Coming back to life more and 

449
00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:24,600
more seeing hope in it, it was 
powerful. 

450
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,100
It was powerful. 
But right now, the Lord saying, 

451
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:34,200
but what about me? 
Well, by me. 

452
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,500
Now, there's an anointing. 
And that anointing is not in 

453
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:46,600
your chair. 
It's not in your chair. 

454
00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:53,300
But that anointing is up here 
and I'm not giving it away, it's

455
00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:56,700
in the atmosphere, but it's 
going to require you to make a 

456
00:30:56,700 --> 00:30:59,900
step. 
No husband and wife relationship

457
00:30:59,900 --> 00:31:02,900
is ever going to continue to 
grow stronger and stronger until

458
00:31:02,900 --> 00:31:09,900
both move. 
He said, well I'll move when God

459
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:14,400
moves God's not going to not 
going to do it. 

460
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,700
Because when you are lost and 
dead in your trespasses and sin,

461
00:31:19,700 --> 00:31:24,900
he pursued you, the Bible said 
that God, Drew you to Christ. 

462
00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:29,100
He did that, but the Bible tells
us once you're born again. 

463
00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:33,800
God, doesn't pursue you anymore.
James says, draw near to God. 

464
00:31:34,900 --> 00:31:39,400
And he'll draw near to you 
because the minute you made 

465
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:44,200
Covenant with the Lord. 
He said I'll never leave you nor

466
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,400
forsake you he'll never leave 
you. 

467
00:31:48,100 --> 00:31:51,200
He's never in the leaving 
position, he doesn't get. 

468
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,500
So aggravated mad with you that 
he slams, the door and leaves. 

469
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:59,500
He never gets so frustrated with
you that he walks out and says, 

470
00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:03,900
I need some time. 
He never gets so aggravated and 

471
00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:07,400
said we going to separate for a 
little bit, know if separations 

472
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,200
happening if anger and a door 
slamming in somebody's leaving, 

473
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:16,600
it's on our part. 
Because in order for you to get 

474
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,700
intimate with God, you got to go
back home, because he's not 

475
00:32:19,700 --> 00:32:22,400
left. 
He's never left. 

476
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:24,700
He's been calling your home the 
whole time. 

477
00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:29,500
So many people want to come to 
church and just be preached to 

478
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,800
the God. 
Just wants to minister to you 

479
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:40,200
today. 
Today today today today. 

480
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:46,200
Today. 
Today, today he wants to 

481
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:51,500
minister to you, hallelujah? 
Thank you Lord. 

482
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,800
Thank you Lord. 
Thank you Lord. 

483
00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:57,500
Thank you Lord. 
Thank you. 

484
00:32:57,500 --> 00:33:00,300
Lord. 
You know when marriage is tough.

485
00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:05,300
When the husband gets prideful, 
don't want to give up his right 

486
00:33:05,300 --> 00:33:10,000
to be right or perceive right? 
And so he'll just dig his heels 

487
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,700
in. 
Wait, be stubborn stiff-necked 

488
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:20,100
going to make sure the wife bins
and yields first or vice versa. 

489
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:22,100
Sometimes a wife, not going to 
do it. 

490
00:33:22,500 --> 00:33:24,300
Not going to bend, not going to 
break. 

491
00:33:24,700 --> 00:33:26,900
I'm not giving in this time. 
I'm done. 

492
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,500
I'm done with that. 
I'll never do it again. 

493
00:33:29,700 --> 00:33:31,600
It's over. 
They're gonna have to come to 

494
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,600
me. 
I'm finished, it's over. 

495
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,600
Yep, when that takes place, man,
marriages are in trouble, 

496
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,300
because it always requires 
someone to yield and Jesus has 

497
00:33:43,300 --> 00:33:49,400
never failed us. 
The father has never done 

498
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:55,300
anything wrong. 
He loves you. 

499
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,400
He just wants to put his arms 
around you. 

500
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,500
She got to be out of admit, I'm 
just not seeking him a whole 

501
00:34:05,500 --> 00:34:08,400
heart. 
I'm not pressing in. 

502
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,900
You're not first and foremost on
my mind. 

503
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,100
I think more about my job and my
work than I do. 

504
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:18,500
You have put more time in it 
than I do on the word, praying 

505
00:34:18,500 --> 00:34:21,000
in the spirit. 
I put no time in it. 

506
00:34:24,500 --> 00:34:29,300
You know, you know God saying, 
come on, come on down, I'm gonna

507
00:34:29,300 --> 00:34:31,500
feel you. 
I'm a minister to you. 

508
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,600
I'm going to touch you because 
I'm telling you a wave. 

509
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,600
An anointing fixing a flow in 
this place. 

510
00:34:37,300 --> 00:34:38,900
And it's going to be pretty 
shallow. 

511
00:34:39,300 --> 00:34:41,600
What do I mean? 
Is only going to go so far back?

512
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,699
But it'll go deep and those that
are in it, you understand, when 

513
00:34:46,699 --> 00:34:48,800
you go to st. 
Augustine, you can stand on the 

514
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:53,500
beach and you can see the waves 
coming in, but the waves only go

515
00:34:53,500 --> 00:34:57,700
so far. 
It only goes so far, and if you 

516
00:34:58,100 --> 00:35:03,600
are hot, if you are sweating, if
you need a refreshment, the 

517
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,100
ocean says, this is far as I go.
If you want this, you going to 

518
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:09,300
come. 
You're gonna have to come to me.

519
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,900
You got to come to me now. 
Some of you gonna have to hold 

520
00:35:11,900 --> 00:35:16,500
some of your Your Expressions. 
I need you to be quiet cuz this 

521
00:35:16,500 --> 00:35:19,400
is not an individual. 
This is a corporate anointing. 

522
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:30,100
Because some of you a routine of
how you respond to God, you 

523
00:35:30,100 --> 00:35:35,000
don't do that today. 
This is a new and a fresh 

524
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,000
anointing, it will not get an 
old response. 

525
00:35:53,400 --> 00:36:04,000
Yes, Lord. 
Thank you, Jesus. now, for those

526
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,100
that are still standing, Outside
of the altar. 

527
00:36:09,700 --> 00:36:14,000
The Lord said it appears as if 
those who came down or saying 

528
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,300
that they have lost their first 
love. 

529
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,000
He said that's not the case with
many. 

530
00:36:19,900 --> 00:36:22,500
He said, for many, they were 
counted the intimacy and their 

531
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:25,600
said, I want to do it again. 
I want to do it again. 

532
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,000
I want to do it again, but I do 
want to give occasion to those. 

533
00:36:30,300 --> 00:36:34,600
That's why I asked for it first,
because hungry ones, always get 

534
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:41,300
But if you are still standing in
your seat and you're like, man, 

535
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:44,400
I love God. 
I love him with all my heart. 

536
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,400
There's a fresh anointing for 
you. 

537
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:55,200
A place a sense. 
Yeah, I don't know why God does 

538
00:36:55,200 --> 00:37:00,600
this but I think he does it just
to remind us sometimes of just 

539
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:05,500
how great his glory is that we 
can get down into the full 

540
00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:12,100
weight of this thing. 
Many of us have been in Services

541
00:37:12,100 --> 00:37:15,300
where the power and the presence
of God was so tangible. 

542
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,200
We didn't want to leave it. 
The next time we come to a 

543
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,200
service and we didn't sense it. 
You wanted it but God doesn't 

544
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,000
live and he doesn't Express 
himself the same way all the 

545
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,800
time. 
His greatest expression is his 

546
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,700
word. 
It is his greatest expression 

547
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,800
because the Bible said he didn't
send his glory and it healed 

548
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,800
them, he didn't say he sent his 
healing. 

549
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,900
Power and it healed him. 
He didn't say that. 

550
00:37:42,900 --> 00:37:45,600
He sent his joy and it healed 
him. 

551
00:37:45,700 --> 00:37:49,800
No, he sent his word because in 
his word is glory, in his word 

552
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,600
is healing in. 
His word is Joy. 

553
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,200
Whether you feel is word or not.
Is word is still truth. 

554
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,400
When acted upon by faith, he 
comes to pass, but there are 

555
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:09,100
times God just will remind you 
Who he is in his presence. 

556
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:11,700
He see his presence alone is not
enough. 

557
00:38:11,700 --> 00:38:18,900
I recently, read someone say 
that the future of the church is

558
00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:21,900
present presence, driven 
churches. 

559
00:38:24,300 --> 00:38:28,700
The explanation was is that they
only want to minister to the 

560
00:38:28,700 --> 00:38:30,900
Lord. 
They want to do what God wants 

561
00:38:30,900 --> 00:38:33,200
to do. 
They're not here to serve any 

562
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:38,200
other agenda, but to do that, 
now honestly that sounds good 

563
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:44,200
and we do want to be in his 
presence but it lacks again. 

564
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,600
It tries to put an emphasis on 
the wrong thing. 

565
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,900
Because the reality is the 
presence of God can be in the 

566
00:38:50,900 --> 00:38:53,500
service and nobody still gets 
healed. 

567
00:38:53,900 --> 00:38:57,400
Nobody still gets delivered, 
nobody still gets saved because 

568
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,600
the only ones who get it are 
those who act Jesus was 

569
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,600
personally present in a crowd 
and everyone was touching him. 

570
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,200
But one woman said, if I just 
touch him, I'll be healed. 

571
00:39:10,900 --> 00:39:12,800
And he stopped and said, power 
left. 

572
00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:15,800
The disciples who had been with 
him. 

573
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,300
They didn't pull the power. 
The crowd didn't pull the power,

574
00:39:19,300 --> 00:39:30,400
although he's in their presence.
