You're listening to the Anchor Faith Church message podcast
with our senior pastor Earle glisten, enjoy the message,
we're so excited. Y'all are here tonight.
We're so excited about what God is doing in his kingdom and with
his church amen. If you have your Bibles turn
over to John 18:37. I'm reading out of a translation
called the Darby translation. You know, we took time to Last
week to kind of talk about this highest Authority and I'm not
going to go back through it but it's had the most views.
It's crazy. How many people have watched
that video? Which is great.
I'm glad they are but they need a follow-on because there's more
than just a than just that, okay?
And so I want to talk about Authority tonight because it's
very important to know your Authority.
All right. Too often religion has taken a
truth of God and then stopped. We've said it here.
A lot of times that in essence, the cross, and I'm going to
pretend this is the cross, the cross of Jesus is the door into
the kingdom. You cannot be in God's kingdom
without the cross. What does that mean?
Jesus died on the cross, right? He shed his blood.
He took on our sin, he became our, he became the sacrifice for
all of our Disobedience. He had to die, he goes to the
Grave. Then on the third day will
celebrate its Sunday. He was resurrected.
I said, he was resurrected a many.
He's Alive forevermore. He took that blood and he Poured
it out on The Mercy, Seat in heaven, and it pays the price
for All sin. Hallelujah, so that's taken
place. So in order for us to be born
again, we must acknowledge that Jesus died on the cross.
We must believe our acknowledge that.
We are helpless. We are sinners.
We are separated from God. We cannot get to him on our own
merits. We cannot work it out, you know?
We are not able, Right. We're miserable people without
God, no matter what are we put on?
We are deficient, but the cross made away and it Bridges the
Gap. You know, if you get the little
tracks member of the Cross Bridges, the gap between the
world that's in sin, and then God and the, and the cross
Bridges. It's a man from the world can
come over to God. Amen.
Have relationship. Well, what happens is most
people save, I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross.
And I'm asking him to come into my heart and save me.
I make him Lord of my life. I want it when I die, I want to
go to heaven. I want to be with the Lord.
I want to be born again, so they get on, they come through the
door, right? I came through the door, but
then they stay at the door. They hugged the door.
They kiss the door. They stare at the door.
Now, you're in the house. Just do this.
When you go home today, go in and just stand at the door.
Seriously now just keep standing there cause when you got to go
to the bathroom, don't leave. What I'm saying is you can get
in the house and have a need, but not have the need mad
because you get stuck. At a door that the kingdom has a
bathroom for you, but unless you go seek it.
Then you're not going to have the benefit of it and then keep
standing there. So when you saw your pants right
and then your stomach, because you're hungry, Are you with me
now? Listen, anyone in the Kingdom,
can who knows? It can go to the bathroom and
say you're not coming or I'll bring you a you know something
well they help you take care of this issue so you don't mess on
yourself but God never intended for someone to go search it for
you to bring it back to you. You hungry.
I'll go to the kitchen because really if you just leave the
door man Can you come to kitchen with me?
Well, I'm not worthy. I'm just happy to get in the
door. Well, you're right, you weren't
worthy, but you've been now made worthy.
She got to change your thinking, right?
We gotta change our thinking, God never asked us to come in
the house and then stand at the door and be so ashamed that
we're in the house. because, when you came to the door of the
old self stayed outside, The nature that wants to do sin
isn't invited in the house. It stays outside is dead but you
become a new creature in Christ. You're born again and now God in
his kingdom here is saying, Hey listen, I'll help you understand
your house. I'll train you, teach you and
show you all that's available, but if you're like, yeah, but I
look at me. Look what all was.
Honey deserve to be in here. I'm looking out the window, you
know, in my door, my life is a bit.
Yes, I know, but let's forget what lies behind.
And now, let's press on to what God has for you in the kingdom
of God. Amen.
So we need to understand the authority because God's actually
given us some amen. This is completely actually.
I got a lot of parents in here again.
You'll sit down on the couch right?
And you'll say, hey I'm thirsty. And you tell one of your kids,
go get me some water. Now, what did you just do?
You just authorize them to physically?
Go into the kitchen, open, a refrigerator, grab that bottle
water, and bring it back to you and you didn't even leave the
couch. Are you with me your child to
come to you and say man? I I want a snack what are they
asking for permission, right? And they're waiting for the
authority to say, you can't. Now they don't need the
authority. I'll get it for you.
My gosh. I just sat down.
I'll get you the snack. Okay, because here's your snacks
and I'm thirsty. Okay, I'll get you something to
drink. My gosh, here's the drink.
Okay, Chinese a potty. You hear what I'm saying?
We're like running Jesus, all over the house are thinking.
If Jesus don't run through the house for us, we can't have
nothing. When Jesus say, we'll go get it
right now. I get it happens.
This is how it is with us. I'm the child, in the house,
Jesus, on the couch, right? He's paying attention to all the
things that's going on. And I'm like, King Jesus.
Can I have a sec? You say, yeah, going in the
kitchen and get it. And this happens with us, I'm
going to the kitchen. So I go into the kitchen.
And, and I'm looking for my snack but I don't know exactly
where it's at. So what do you do?
Hey, where's that snack? Brownie, let's just get
specific. Where's the brownie at?
Jesus, it's in the third covered.
Sometimes people are getting their, they're in a Direction
with God, but they don't communicate back with him and
he'll give you more specifics, he's not obligated to you.
Now, listen, when you go into the kitchen, you're going to go
to the third cabinet cause that's where the brownie is.
He just say? What Us in the kitchen.
Go get. Okay, you did and then you
realize, I don't really know where it is now that I'm in the
right place. So I keep talking but he don't
have to get up. That's what I'm saying.
And God is not getting up off the throne.
Did come down here. No, he put his spirit in you so
he could talk to you. And it's better than a cell
phone is better and zoom. Meetings is better than
FaceTime. It's better than online because
this within you, you never get a connection cut off.
You never get a drop call. You never get any of it.
You can talk to him. Hallelujah.
So there's some Authority. We need to operate in.
We need to understand. Jesus is King, Jesus is not
president, prime, minister Jesus, wasn't voted in so you're
not voting. I'm out.
But he holds all authority John 18:37.
The Darby translation says pilate.
Therefore said to him, then Thou Art the King.
Jesus said, thou sayest it that I am a king, I have been born
for this and for this I have come into the world that I might
bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth
hears, my voice man. Don't you want to hear the voice
of the king? Amen.
Because he is the final Authority.
His word is forever settled. We going to see here in a
minute. We In Ecclesiastes 84 says,
where the word of the king is there is power, say power.
Now, one translation says that it's authoritive, which means
when we say power it's not like Jesus is like because we tend to
think Jesus so powerful like he's like super strength stuff
when really his powers contained within the authority of his
word. Now it does do Supernatural
things don't get me wrong. But the reality is this more
important to know the authority of his power, then just that he
can break a rod heal a sick or whatever the case may be.
Are you with me? So where the word of the king
is, there's power. And Jesus says, I am a king, I'm
a king and it's been spoken all through the scripture, the king
is coming, the king is coming, the king is coming, the king is
coming, and he's coming, whether you want him to come or not,
he's coming with you agree, that he even exists or not.
And everyone everyone from Adam until the last Spirit arrives in
a child will bow before Jesus. Period.
He's King. I mean, do you believe that?
Do you truly believe Jesus is key?
Now listen, you got to get ahold of this because if you look at
Jesus through our type of government, you know, you'll
vote him out of your life and situations, you'll say he's not
Doing a good job. Okay, okay, if you view it
through, oh he gonna tell me what to do.
And don't understand his Nature's love.
And anything he says to you is for your benefit.
Amen, he loves you. He loves you.
And the way sometimes we preach about God, you would think he
was a horrible parent, a terrible dad, but you know, we
give him props because he's God, how are we going to complain
about that, right? Well, his ways are higher than
our ways according to the old Covenant, but in the New
Covenant, Paul said we can have the mind of Christ and he did
more. He said, look, I don't want it
to be a mystery. I want you to seek me and I'll
reveal The thing is, is that as Believers a lot of times, we
just don't want to know. We don't want to know because
the minute, you know, now you're responsible for and then you
realize, well, I got to do something, you know, you had to
do something to get born again. I understand Jesus did it all.
It is finished, I get that but you don't get it unless you do
something, you don't get to be born again unless you do your
part. God does not make you born
again. God gives you eternal life are
the new birth experience at the confession of your faith.
And you pulled the supernatural into you.
That's already done but you did it and if you have to do it with
being a child of God, you're going to have to do a bead and
do with power, you're gonna have to deal with prosperity or
provision to do whatever God has called you to do.
You're gonna have to deal with health and healing.
I mean ultimately that's what God wants.
Now he can use his other children to provide certain
things for you while you're younger.
Why you're growing. This is what moms do for
children all the time but ultimately God wants us to grow
up in all of us. Begin to walk in the authority
that we have. Are you with me?
So we know he has Authority because he's a king.
First of all, Jesus is King and that is not a religious
position. It's not religious guys.
It is a government. Isaiah was right on in chapter
9, verse 6 and 7, when he said a child will be born, a son will
be given and the government will rest on his shoulders.
Jesus began to preach repent. For the Kingdom of Heaven is at
hand. Are you with me?
You only get into this nation as a.
Holy One. You only get into this nation by
being born of it and you're born of it when you confess Jesus as
your Lord. Amen.
Okay so as long as we're Square now that we know Jesus king,
he's the head of the government. But we also need to know he has
the highest Authority. We talked about last week, but
let me show you a few verses again and Hebrews 6:13.
It says, for when God made a promise to Abraham, because he
could swear by no one greater he swore by himself.
I mean he like he can find someone say now we going to make
a covenant. Let me go find the judge so they
ratified. Oh, I am the judge.
There's no one higher than him. I said there's no one Higher and
it shouldn't be hard for believers to grasp especially
the United States because we have a thing called the Supreme
Court. We can go to court here locally.
And if that don't work out, like we believe that it should have
according to law. Because something happened, we
can do what an appeal and we can appeal it all the way to the
what the highest court of the land called the Supreme Court.
Are you with me? Well you know there's a court
higher than that. And that court has God the
father on it, Jesus Christ, the Son and the Holy Spirit and they
are taking records. Now, they have books.
They're riding they're inscribing.
Are you with me? They're going to try all
Humanity. Yeah.
That's going to happen. It is the highest court.
They have the final say. Are you with me?
Okay. Psalms 1 38 verse 2, I will
worship. Up towards your Holy Temple and
praise your name for your loving.
Kindness. And for your Truth for you, have
magnified your word, your word above all your name.
That's power. Now what does that mean?
This is a powerful thought, you got to get this because this is
where religion jumps in and makes the things of God
confusing. God can do anything he wants to
do, No, he cannot God will only do what he said.
This is why if we understood that then Jesus, coming become
so obvious. Because God said, let us make
man in our image, according to our likeness, and let him them
have dominion on the earth. Let man do it.
Because again, why God, if God can do whatever he wants to do.
Why didn't he send a monkey to redeem us?
Why didn't he send the elephant? Why didn't he send an angel?
Why didn't he go down there? And slap that fruit out of
Adam's hand and say, don't you do that?
Because Adam had the authority and God was not going to violate
the authority. He gave him, he was bound to his
word doesn't matter, he's God. What matters is what God Said.
Now God says, a man lost a minion.
Guess what? A man's gonna have to get it
back. So I'm going to have to go get
in a man's suit. That's why it's so much more
powerful. When Jesus says not that, he's
the son of God as much as he is. The son of man.
Because when Jesus goes on the cross goes to the grave and he
is killed off the planet and innocent man, never sinned.
He had the right to raise herself, back up appeal to a
higher court and take the Dominion back for man
hallelujah. Amen.
So, God just can't jump in and
do some when people say, well, God can do whatever he wants to.
He can only do what he has said in his word and he will not
violate that. Well, God can do whatever he
wants to do. You know, they'll throw a little
scenario and if you don't know the word then you'll say yeah if
you're right, he's all-powerful like he's a schizophrenic, you
know, like he's bipolar or something.
God's not. Bipolar, I'm not belittling
people who deal with that. What I'm saying is he has no
condition. That makes him tossed here or
there that controls his life that he can just one day.
Be mean. The next day be nice and there's
nothing we can do about it. He's not a tyrant, he is the
epitome of love and life and out of him.
Flows life. Wow.
But he will judge and he will sentence.
The same King. Why?
Because he rules, and he has the highest Authority and his word
is above. So, whatever, though, King says,
this is why faith comes by hearing and hearing from the
word of God, cuz he's the highest Authority.
So important for us to get this. He goes on and says in John 1:1.
Are you ready? Cuz he lifts his word even above
his own name in the beginning was the word and the Word was
with God and the word, what was God?
Amen, verse 14, you know what, the word became flesh and dwelt
among us and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only
begotten of the father, full of grace and truth, he had grace
and truth. That's who he was.
That's, and who is this? Word become flesh?
What do we call him his name? She's you understand.
The word long before he was ever named Jesus.
Okay. And God exhaust that name.
Well Jesus all the word has Authority, then look what it
says in Matthew 28:18 and Jesus came and spoke to them saying.
All how much come on? How much come on, how much now
is God a man that he shall, ah, and who's talking Jesus, and
who's Jesus, he's the word and use the word he's gone.
So, God's talking, God the son, Jesus, Jesus came and spoke to
them saying all authority has been.
What given to me in heaven and Whoo, come on.
I mean you this would make you want to just jump out of your
skin if you could get this, if we can really see.
Listen, God doesn't just have authority in heaven.
Man. I got Authority.
You don't mind 40s because you came to the door and you walked
in the door and you asked me to come into your life, I have the
authority to take you out of the earth and bring you to heaven.
And when you die, you get to come here.
That's the authority. I possess.
No, he has not only Authority in heaven, but guess where else?
On the earth. So I'm telling you as a
Believer, ma'am. When I started see, I thought to
myself, there's more to Jesus then going to heaven.
I mean, salvation is way bigger than I thought, or was taught.
That faith in Jesus, for my sins was only one thing that I had a
right to. Wow.
And then to realize that Jesus who Seated on the throne can
dictate what happens here. Now, that doesn't mean because
we again, I get it. Here's people well, he's
Sovereign, he's Supreme. Well, God's in control of
everything, he's only control of his word because they're still a
devil on the planet. And he still has Authority in
his realm. And there are plenty who follow
and get what he has. And it's not that God can't God,
it's not that God doesn't have the power to help people.
Is that they're not believing him at his final word for the
power to show up. Well why didn't God save them?
God will not override their will if they will not conform to his
word. If they want the authority of
the devil, they'll get it. If you want the authority of
Jesus, you have it. We choose.
Now, this is very unpopular preaching.
I understand that because that means we're responsible.
But show me anyone who truly, who truly believes that, Jesus
Christ, died on the cross and Rose from the grave, doesn't
preach responsibility to be born again by you.
Making the confession, that is an act of responsibility and
it's like the minute you do it. We all of a sudden now have no
responsibility. I mean, none of my children when
I gave birth of them walked in the house, when no
responsibility, I was like, there's some responsibility
coming. You just don't know it yet.
But she wants me to take out the trash responsibility to wash
these dishes. Run smoothly, take my plate and
move it over here while you're a tyrant.
No, I'm showing them that there's thing called
responsibility because you understand, if you don't want
the devil to run you ragged, you better take the responsibility
and find out what the highest Authority says about your life.
Are you with me? So This has Authority, and he
will do whatever. He said he would do, but it
requires you to believe. Because, again, listen, see we
need to take these thoughts further.
If Jesus can do whatever he wants to do in God's in control,
then there's no way because we know his desires that no one
Paris, he would just make us all get born again but yet we apply
that same principle. Well, if you want to tell he
just make us get healed. Well, if he wanted us to know to
have more than enough, he just make it happen.
Well, he didn't make it happen for you to get born again.
He provided the way, but it required, your faith.
What it was God? Letting people would let a
little babies. Doc he's not the devil's killing
them. Right.
And how many people hadn't answered a call to go into that
Nation? And how many people that was
raised up to have a successful business to actually go in there
didn't do it because they decide to do their vacation instead I
mean I can't answer all those quite.
I'm just saying God requires us. Because he gave me an authority.
And Jesus said all authority is Mom in heaven and we're.
Wow. So I want to know what Authority
he has here so that I can walk in it right.
Psalms 89, 27 says this also, I will make him my firstborn
higher than the kings of the earth.
Well who else are Kings on the earth?
We are because he's the king of this is very powerful.
Come on this very powerful. Amen.
Now, the problem is that we are so conditioned to see ourselves,
as the lowlife that we've blown it, we're no good, you know,
we're just sorry, Sinners when we were, but Jesus made away and
then we took responsibility for our lives and say we can't do
it. So we're confessing you to be
Lord supreme authority, we're coming under your kingship.
Now the minute we did that God says guess what?
I'm going to make you a king like me and what you do is you
follow me and when you follow me then you'll follow my word when
you follow my words and you'll have the authority that I have.
And not only do I have authority there, I have it down here.
That's why Jesus says I'll give you the Keys of the Kingdom.
Whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven.
Whatever you loose on. Earth, shall be loosed in
heaven. Why?
Because the authority that sits here.
Is right here, but if we're not operating, it's not God's fault.
you know, this every time you go over the speed limit, Is there a
law? And if the police officers not
around the power to an authority to stop, you doesn't occur.
But does it still exist? Yes, it does.
Absolutely, it sure does. So you could be driving normal.
Somebody's blowing past you're like man a they shit you can't
run them down. Right?
What I'm saying is Authority is in the Earth but you have to
access it. We have to access it.
Luke 1:32 233 says this, he shall be great and shall be
called the son of the highest. The Lord God shall give unto him
the Throne of his father David. And he shall reign over the
house of Jacob forever and his kingdom.
There shall be no end. And Jesus is going to return and
not Only will he rule in Jerusalem?
But he'll rule the world Hallelujah.
He said, well, that ain't Fair. He made the planet, it is fair.
That's like you leaving your, don't leave it, leave it locked
and somebody breaks into your house.
When you go home, they broke it into your house.
They brought all their friends and family.
They be are eating stuff and they are sitting around your
house and you're like what are you doing here?
Well, we're here now and they beat you up and throw you out.
So what they did to the prophets, that's what Adam did
to God. God says, okay, so you
understand when you go and say no, I have authority.
So you bring back the police you bring back the papers, you bring
back the legal document and you proven, what do you do?
You have to run them out? but you're not going to do it
just because I to show you you're going to have some kind
of power or authority to demonstrate So, when God comes
back, he's only demonstrating your in my Planet.
I created it. This was how I expected it to
be, and if you're not going to be this, then I'm going to
remove you. But he wants you in the house.
All you got to do is believe, see, Jesus is Authority, was
actually recognized. It was recognized by Nature.
I'm just going to squirt some scripture.
You had to write them down and do some homework, you know, who,
who recognize the authority of Jesus and obeyed it.
Now, here's the thing with Jesus Authority for their was so crazy
about this list. I'm fixing to give you, is, they
did not Debate with him. The Fig Tree in Matthew, 21, 18
and 19. And in Mark chapter 11, 12 and
14, the Fig Tree Jesus cursed, it said it would die and it
listened. It didn't resist, it could not
winds and waves. Luke chapter 8. 22.
And Mark chapter 4 35 when he spoke to them, they listen.
I'll said they listen. Do you know if God gave you the
word to go out and tell the waves to stop and st.
Augustine Beach and you knew it was God's voice and if you went
out and believe it would work for you as well.
Now, you just can't go out there and say, I'm going to see if
this works in the name of Jesus and Jesus sent a to say it,
you're just talking all by yourself.
But he will let us talk to hurricanes.
I said he will let us talk to hurricanes if we'll ask and say,
what do you want to say? Because it ain't about us, what
do you want us to do? Because you have the highest
Authority and we want your authority to manifest in the
earth, okay? But they listened, you know,
water turned 21. Water did a chemical change at a
word. What do you got?
Just fill these possible water. You got it.
Okay. Now, go take it to the head
master and in route. Wow.
It heard his voice and performed.
Are you with me? And I could go into other things
like fish hearing to go to a get a couple coins and go find
Peters, you know, net or hook one of the other.
I mean it happens like fish are dead and they'll say oh I'll
keep multiplying two. You're finished.
Amen. They recognize his authority.
The fish didn't say don't you know?
I'm dead. I can't, I mean this is all I
got. Come on, please.
Catch this with me, please catch this with me because again,
whatever Jesus said, he did whatever.
He said he did. You know what?
Sickness it sickness. Recognizes Jesus, Authority, he
went to Peters mother-in-law, she had a fever and Luke chapter
1 verse 29. He said Fiat, he said Jesus
rebuked, the fever apparently fevers have ears.
And it listen and immediately she got up and started serving
she didn't like recover for days.
The man a man had a withered hand in Matthew chapter 12 that
sickness changed his hand looks shifted.
And became normal at a word. The cells in his body performed.
A paralyzed man in Luke Chapter 5 and Walt.
He said get up walk and guess what his bones and his muscles.
I mean you're talking someone had walked in while they would
have what's that word. Yeah, that word there they would
have that. That mean to be all your legs
skinnier Minds. You know, how do you work out on
my? But you understand.
I almost messed up super skinny because there's, they've been
working them and muscle showed up.
Now, I'm not saying they came out, like, Pastor Mike.
I get that. I'm not saying I like, Ro G Look
what Jesus did in my legs. You know, when they're posing,
I'm not saying they grew in size.
What I'm saying is they grew in strength, right?
The the bones were able to hold it, the veins, the blood started
flowing, all the nerves kicked in all that happened at a word
and it didn't resist. Didn't resist.
You know what else? Who else?
Recognize these Authority demons?
Yeah, the madman in Luke chapter 8, did not run on.
Jesus is here. Let's get out of here.
Oh, get this. It ain't like oh jeez here.
Let's scatter. When Jesus confronts the Demonic
realm. They run to him and fall down at
his feet. They don't go flying out in the
building. Oh, jeez, here, let's go.
Scattering, so he won't see us, Jesus here, and they show up and
drop out his feet and then ask questions if he lets them talk.
In fact, the one unclean spirit in Mark chapter 1 when he went
into the church, the synagogue will there be some churches that
couldn't handle some some Demon casting out?
They'd be freaking out. It's gonna get all that.
I'm gonna get on you unless you open the door for right, but I
obviously don't know your Authority.
Right? I could tell stories, but I
won't. I'm, I'm leaving.
Stay focused. Okay, I want to be light-hearted
at times, but sometimes we just gotta drive on because we need
this truth. So here's the thing.
This unclean spirit says, what business do we have with you?
Son of the most high, have you come to torment us before?
Tom He said, shut up. Come out.
We having this conversation in here and it did.
Now it made some demonstrations in it's going through that body
down the guy started flopping, all over the place, right?
Amen. Not everybody that falls in
flops. Has a demon, just let you know
that, okay. Because sometimes when they do
any comes on you fall, flat on your face, your body.
Don't know how to deal with that.
But it is line out and again if you fall and the anointing is on
you, you better get up and walk straight.
But what good is it to have an anointing?
You don't get your mind, right? You know what act, any different
because then we know you just flopping, like a fish out of
water, on your own. Okay, so let's go on in James
2:19. I love this one.
I'm actually read this one to you in James chapter 2, verse
19. It says that this way since you
believe that there is one God, do you believe there is one God,
God. Do you believe that?
You know what he says you do? Well James says, say I do well.
Tell your neighbor I do. Well then he says this even
demons believe and tremble. So you think you're like a great
Christian because you believe there's one God, he's a man,
even the demons do that. And tremble, what's must means
there must be somebody. That's believing there's one God
but doesn't have reverential fear of the Lord.
But demons know, there's one and now bow down at him.
Amen, I don't know why we decide we want to Buck Authority.
Especially Jesus's. I'm not whatever you say Lord.
Yes Lord. Yes Lord.
Yes. Lord calls life.
What did Peter say? Where we gonna go?
You have words of life. Oh my gosh.
You have words are life. Now again I might have culture
or when I'm saying in a world that's rebelled against God
hates God haters of God. So when I stand with God they're
gonna hate me Haters, Gonna Hate what's gonna happen, they're
going to do it right? But if we walk in love, they'll
hate us more or they may Maybe drawn to the Lord.
Either way, they don't have to see Jesus.
Be better to see Jesus on this side with me, then you see Jesus
with me on the other side. I say this, when I go to prison
ministry, you know I say now today I am your defense
attorney. I am here to get you out.
I am here to set you free. I am here to lay down that the
were Lord. Jesus Christ has paid the price
for all your transgression, all your sin, all your penalty, and
if you accept this payment today, you will be born again,
change, you will be a different person.
You'll be set free. I will defend you today.
But if you resist this today, and you die without accepting
Christ your lord. Then in heaven, I'll become your
prosecuting attorney and I will come back and God will show the
day that I was here. And I told you about Jesus and
told you about the payment and told you and how in your heart,
you resisted it. And I will be part of the
evidence that goes against you. When my Jesus will say depart
from me, I never knew you and cast into the Lake of Fire.
Now you want me as your defense attorney because I'm a really
good prosecuting attorney as well.
I've never lost a case when I get to heaven.
I'll never lose a case when I get to heaven.
Now, the defense attorney, I've lost some cases because they've
not But I will never lose a Prosecuting case when he calls
me up to evidence and Pastor. Oh did you go to the did you go
to that place? Yes sir g-going the state.
Yes sir I did y'all like that ain't going to happen to heaven.
Have you not read the Bible? I mean, they go open up the
books. We going to go before the they
are going to go through the, the great white Throne judgment
that's going to happen in your life.
I mean, we had like, it's like quicksand Kick or something.
Right? We go to heaven as light Booth.
You're gone if you're out you're gone.
You're here. You're blessed your boom.
You're out of here. You know, we're casting to
you're late. They're opening up books that
say these speed reading. I mean we are in no time.
I mean, I God's it around, he be like Next case, I mean, where
are we going, right? I mean it's gonna be like, more
than o.j. Simpson trial.
I mean, we were like gluten like these trials, we just like,
whoa. What's going on man?
Right? We're gonna be like, oh, look,
who's up. Look his because the Bible tells
us that some of the greatest people, we're going to be
liable. Oh, look, who's up, hmm, ain't
gonna be good for them. And you'll be like, oh yeah, you
know, I saw them once. Next thing, you know, the Lord
and say hey that's her. Oh come on up here.
Where were you at? Yes sir.
Yes sir was, did you say yes sir.
I said that about, you didn't say that.
You are. Oh we have video proof.
I mean ain't like God can't just Show your life in a moment right
there, right? Amen.
It's me exciting times. This is gonna be exciting times,
but what's not excited about that?
Because this blew me away II. Never thought it this way.
Until I read it, someone said it.
And I said I can't believe that to I'll say it, myself went red
and I was like she's the great white Throne judgment the great
white Throne judgment is not on planet Earth.
It is actually in heaven and at the end he said he will give up
the dead. Grave will give up the dead,
which means they will leave the grave that they're in torment
right now and actually go to the place.
And see exactly where they could have seen been at Toms for
period. Before they're thrown into the
Lake of Fire. It's not like they took them out
of the pit, the grave and what we call hell, right?
Do you not understand hell's God's?
It's not the devil's. The devil don't live in hell.
The prison system is the Lord's and it only exists because of
rebellion. It's not like the devil's down.
Inhale, making plans. He's actually out here.
He's the prince of the power of the air.
All right. Now there are some in the grave,
some demons that are chained up. I don't want to get in that.
I'm just saying it. There's a lot going on in the
Unseen that we don't know about and it has to do with
authorities. Okay, and Jesus has Authority.
So let's drive on. So demons recognizing Satan
recognize Jesus with authority. In Matthew Chapter 4.
Verses 1 through 11, you know, who else is recognized
Authority? People did people in the
synagogue and Mark chapter 121 and in Luke, chapter 4, verse
14, they recognize Jesus, Authority the cement.
He teaches like not like the Pharisees bubble, like one that
has authority, authority can be seen recognize now many people
call it arrogance. When they're unlearned.
Meaning, they haven't been enlightened and they have maybe
a religious posture and then all of a sudden, someone comes out
in the authority of Jesus and because know it's going to be
this way. Remember, a particular
situation, I'ma keep it real big that took place, you know, life
and death deal and I went into the room and I said, let's pray.
Because the ones that were in the room they didn't, they don't
know what. I know, let's just put it that
way and when I mean, by that day, it hasn't been revealed by
the spirit I've sought it, and I've got it works.
Right. And I happen to have have a
Spiritual Authority at the time for that room.
So, I walked in that room and I said, let's pray.
And I said in the name of Jesus, it will be like this, they will
do this. This will take place.
It will be like this. We thank you for it, in the name
of Jesus said, amen, I took another person out and I said,
this is real. Is that ever going to be?
This ain't no waiver a moment. This is where you better know
that, you know, something. But I knew that I had it.
And that they didn't need have to have it because God had given
it to me, but I wouldn't be able to keep it forever.
They would have to grow on their own.
Twenty minutes later everything I said would take place.
The another person came in the room and quoted it.
Verbatim that it was that way and all that took place.
Now you sit on the outside you think I was arrogant?
I wasn't. I was and the authority of the
king. And I'm not going to let a devil
and hip, not in Hell, a devil period.
A demon Satan himself or people taught me out of the authority.
That the king just told me to say and they, I mean, it turned
out really great. Because any other way.
And when it turned out that way, and let me tell you, sometimes
you'll operating authority of Jesus and you're not going to
get credit, but that's okay. You're not supposed to.
But you'll know if God hadn't used you because you knew what
you knew about Authority, But it's recognizable pilot
recognize, Jesus Authority, and also the chief priests and the
Elders of Matthew chapter 21 verse 23.
Jesus has authority over the church.
And he's given it to the church. So if he's James 1:22, 22 says,
which he worked in Christ. When he raised him from the dead
seated him at his right hand in Heavenly places.
Far above are you looking at this far above not just like
right over I'm talking about far above all principality and power
and might and dominion and every name that is named not only in
this age. But also in the one to come and
he put all things under his feet where the feet located in the
body under his feet and gave him to be the head, over all things
to the to the church. Do you see this?
So Jesus has the authority and he says all the authorities
mind, I'm the head of the church and I've given this Authority.
It runs all the way down to the. There's not a place in the body
that doesn't have my Authority, which tells me if you're not
operating in it, it's not because it's not available to
you, but it's because we don't know.
We can exercise it and it's not what you did.
It's what he has done. Are you with me?
My son moved up this little coffee thing.
Upstairs, you know, brought from the house, he goes, hey, you
want one? Why?
Cause he's authorized, is his I said, yeah, I'll take one.
So, in essence, he's authorized me to be able to go make that
cup of coffee. Right now, if I didn't know it
was up there, I wouldn't be able to have that benefit.
But because it's up there and then he let me know that I could
have that. Then guess what?
I can walk up in there at any time and make that I don't even
need him to be at work because I have his word on it.
Oh, Jesus, come help me Jesus. Like, I put my spirit in you,
I've given you the word on this thing just operate in it.
I don't have to get off the throne to come down and get that
for you. Hallelujah, I said, Hallelujah.
Okay. Listen, Jesus has delegated us,
his authority. Delegate means to send or to a
point as a representative John 1410 ma'am.
Just make you run and show got only two more scriptures and
we're done. Okay.
He says, do you not believe that I am in the father?
And the father is in me? Answer that you believe that
right? Okay the words that I speak to
you, I do not speak on my own, what Authority, but the father
who dwells in me does the works, right?
He says, than in love and believe me that I am in the
father and the father in me or else.
Believe for the sake of the works themselves verse 12.
Most assuredly, I say to you. Verse 12, verse 12, verse 12.
Most verse 12. Most assuredly.
Most assuredly not like I don't know, man.
This is Jesus almost assuredly, I say to you.
He now any gender that's Humanity.
He who believes in me and what do you believe?
His word, The Works that I do. He will do also and Greater
Works than these. He will do Who will do them,
he'll do them now. It's not you doing it without
his authority. Is him saying do it then you say
okay I'll do it and then it happens through You by his
power. So again, this is a song that
will I've never heard it myself, but they printed it at summer
camp and it says, bodies are still being raised.
Giants are still being slain wonders with wonders are still
what you do now, it's about Jesus.
You do these wonders. Yes he does.
But he does them how through you.
So if bodies are being raised on planet Earth, you better be
doing the praying. If Giants are still being Slade
on the earth, Jesus ain't coming off the throne to come help you.
He has authorized It when he speaks to you by the Holy Ghost
on the inside. And he says, say this to the
giant, then you do it. And if a Wonder of Miracles
happening on planet Earth is because Jesus sits on the,
throne tells the Holy Spirit, that's inside of you and says,
do this. And when you act in obedience to
do it, it will take place. Because he's delegated
authority. Wait a minute.
Now, you're acting like we're Gods where you are Son of God.
Now, you're not the Son of God. That's Jesus.
You're not God In the Flesh, but you are a child of God.
What did Romans a? Please get this change your
mind. Okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
It's really okay. I mean, it's better than okay.
It's awesome. Those who are led by the spirit
of God. These are the sons of God.
We are created in the image of his likeness.
We are royalty, we are God's DNA.
We can hear his spirit and we can speak with his same
Authority. He doesn't even have to be on
the planet, but he will pull the power from Heaven into Earth
while cuz he's got a Authority in heaven.
And in Earth last scriptures is to do the works of Jesus.
One must first submit to his word.
This is why I love the Centurion so much.
Context this this biblical account, it says the sincere and
answered and said, Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my
roof. You say?
No Pastor. Oh you just said, we could be
worthy. This guy's not born again.
Jesus had died on the cross and Rose from the grave.
Okay, his sin is still credited to his life.
So that's why the century and says that guess, get
dispensations, right? I mean that's one of the most
gross malpractices of scripture is that people go into a
covenant or a dispensation and at like that, What's happening
in this one? We are to interpret the Old
Testament in light of the new When Jesus walked on the earth,
he's not yet. Laid down his life, he came back
for a few days. Yes, but the centurions
encounter with Jesus was prior to him having a capacity to be
born again but he could be righteous by doing what God
said. Okay.
So the situation says Lord, I'm
not worthy for you to come under my roof but only speak a What's
he saying? I don't even see you.
I don't even need to see you. All wish the Lord would come and
fix this situation. You know what he would?
I tell you what he's saying. I'd tell you exactly what he
says the minute you say that. He says, I am there.
I mean you I gave you my spirit. All you got to do now is talk to
the Spirit by reading the word and find out what I say about
this situation. And when you hear what the
spirit says, he's not talking on his own.
He heard it from me while I'm up here in heaven and if you'll
actually do exactly what I said, then it'll turn out that way.
This is why the Bible says, we are to have great confidence.
I mean, when your legal with God, meaning, you know, the
right, you know what, the King has said, I mean, you're like,
it's got to be this way. You're like, get out of my
house, right? Don't touch my wife.
You know what I'm saying? You're like, you've messed with
the wrong eye. Let's call the long.
Well, I mean, that's no problem. I'm right.
There's confidence there. Right?
So, put that back up. I just waited for y'all to turn
it off, so I could make you do it again.
The Centurion said low, right? Okay, he goes on and says it's
just repeat the word and my servant will be healed.
What'd he say would happen? If he spoke the word, just speak
the word and my servant be here, which means if you'll say my
servants is, he is healed. Then it will happen.
He didn't debate Jesus about that.
Why? Because the necks Earth for I
also am a man under Authority. The first thing you recognized
by Jesus your submitted to the father.
I'm submitted myself to someone over me and here's what I know
when they tell me to do something this ain't like
debatable. This is like you don't do it.
You die all this. What?
I love about the synturion. He knew, if I disobeyed order
they'll kill me. And if we would get this
thought, if we disobey the authority of Jesus, In essence
brings death to us now, doesn't physically kill us right then,
but in essence were saying, we don't want life.
We're going to choose another option and death shows up.
But when you stay with the authority of God's word, then
life will show up and he goes on and says, look when I tell my
servant to go he goes and when I tell him to come, he comes when
I tell him to do this, he does it.
So he basically just and Jesus. Marvin says, I've not seen such
great faith. No.
Not in all of Israel because this man recognized Authority.
So I recognize the authority of God's word.
I recognize What God Says and I know that any situation I'll
ever encounter in life, if I'll go to the word and I seek him,
I'm guaranteed This ain't like, maybe I'll know, because God is
not a man that he should lie. He isn't the king.
And the King has put out this order seek first, the kingdom of
God, and his righteousness, and all these things will be added
to you. He said, ask ask and you will
receive. Well, I had heard yet.
You got to keep on asking seek and you'll find well, you know,
he ain't show me nothing yet. Keep seeking, you are not doing
your part because God will do his part knock.
And well, you know the Lord shut that door on me.
Did he or did the devil? Because I want to know if the
door shuts or not. And I'll know if it's God.
Because if I ask seek and knock, I get exactly what he said he'd
give. So we must understand that.
God says, I hold all authority heaven and where you're at, and
because you're my child. If you'll hear me by my spirit,
by the Holy Ghost, I placed in you, as you read my word and
speak my word then whatever, I destruct you to do, it will be
that way. Don't ever let go.
That's why Jesus rebuked his disciples.
It didn't sound like, you know some messaging that we get
today. Jesus is sleeping disciples,
think they're going to die? Because Jesus told them before
they got in the boat rice and then let's go to the other side.
I'm gonna go take a nap. I'm closing with this.
All right, that's your stand-up. Come on down, we'll make some
will go a little quicker and and so he's sleeping and they're
fighting the winds and waves, man.
They've already heard, Jesus. Go to the other side.
That's why they're going in the first place.
He spoke at he said it right, and they're like, working his
thing. And then finally, like we're
going to die dangle. Were you better wake up?
Jesus. You know, could we don't want
anyone to die and not know that he was dying, right?
Jesus, basically, they were upset.
They really they were shocked. He was sleeping cause it was so
rough. You know, aren't you concerned,
we're going to die. They said that Jesus got up
rebuked the winds and the waves and then says, man, you guys are
so awesome. I'm so glad we're a team.
I'm so glad we come together now.
I want you to know that sometimes in life, you know, I'm
going to put you in situations and you can't do anything about
it. So you just make sure you come
and call on me. And I may seem like that I'm not
interested and that I don't care about you, but notice minute you
came and cried. It out and told me you were in
Dire Straits about to die. My gosh, you saw me.
I stood up and came to your defense man.
I love you guys and you're going to do great things.
Now we're at the other side so let's get out of the boat.
He didn't say that. No, he rebuked the winds away,
then he turns around inside when he says, why don't you have any
faith? Why are you afraid?
I'm telling you, there's Ministries.
Now, there's people now that couldn't handle that.
Why didn't he just say God, I'm King.
You can't do it anyway. Why didn't he say that?
No, he said, why are you free? Why don't you have any faith?
He rebuked them. In essence, he said, I gave you
a word. It didn't matter what showed up.
You had enough faith in you to get to the other side.
You should have never woke me up.
God is not listen, we are. It's like, we're trying to wake
God up to do something, our nation.
God's trying to wake us up. I gave you a thorny now, use it.
But it's easier, honestly, I get it is easier to take no
responsibility and go through life and let it to give you what
it has. And at least say, man when I
die, I go to heaven. But I'm telling you, when you
stand before the king one day and he plays out your life
you'll be like I could have done that.
Yeah. You could have.
I could have stood against that. Yeah.
You could have. I could have not died that way.
Yeah, yeah. You could have.
You just in belief. Just in C.
