1
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:15.119
Okay, good morning. Are you
guys happy? Oh yeah, it's such

2
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:21.079
a good time. Man, Just
close your eyes for a second. Lord,

3
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:28.960
we just thank you for your goodness
this morning. We're not in a

4
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:40.719
hurry. Just take a moment to
remember it's all about you. It's all

5
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:46.240
about you, Jesus, and it's
all about what you want to do.

6
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:53.799
It's the craziest thing, Gody,
You're all about us. Just like blows

7
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:59.079
your mind, how you're so in
love with us, You're so fixated on

8
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:06.719
us. And I believe that I
will even free somebody here today to know

9
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:15.280
that God is so fixated on you. He's not disappointed when he's looking at

10
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:26.439
you. He's actually smiling. He
loved a man. Okay, I got

11
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.840
like twenty minutes. Hey, it's
better than last service. Well, no,

12
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:36.200
last service. I thought I had
like fifteen. No Ida, I

13
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:41.840
have two more menister service? Who
two minutes one? This is good.

14
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.040
I'm so glad. I would you
know, I would be stuck in worship

15
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.840
the whole time as long as the
Lord's ministering to us. You know,

16
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.519
he's already speaking to our hearts.
There's things that you've probably already received that

17
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.920
you can walk out of those doors
and you'll be okay. You'll be all

18
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.959
right. And so that's that's what
we're after work. We don't just want

19
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.799
some fancy words or even some convicting
message that I'm about to bring, you

20
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.719
know, we just we just need
Jesus, and if we have him,

21
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:15.479
we're gonna be okay. And if
you walk away with that, you'll be

22
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:20.360
okay. If you just have Jesus, you'll be all right. A few

23
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.520
nights ago, I was praying that
God would light up my world and just

24
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:30.400
expose any thought pattern, any perspective, any motive that is contrary to who

25
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:35.479
He is in his heart. And
so that night I had a dream.

26
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.120
And in this dream, I got
underpaid for a job that was supposed to

27
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.800
be for six hundred books. And
the client gives me three hundred dollars bills,

28
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:49.360
gives me twenty two three twenties,
and three packets of like spices,

29
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.919
you know, like the taco flavoring, taco flavoring, taco seasoning, those

30
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:01.960
kind of like cheap spot They weren't
like expensive cheap spices. I felt like

31
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.840
this is not right. I told
him. I was like, listen,

32
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:12.159
I only get paid cash. I'm
sorry, and he's like, sorry,

33
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:16.560
this is all I got, and
I started to defend what's mine. I'm

34
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.360
like, sorry, I'm kind of
need to take a payment. We signed

35
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.840
a contract. And he goes into
his jew, doesn't find anything there.

36
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:29.319
He goes into his car, doesn't
find anything there, and so I'm in

37
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.439
the beginning of his driveway and I'm
like not letting him leave. He turns

38
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:37.439
on his car to leave and I'm
like, no, you're not going anywhere.

39
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.599
I need my money. And he
tries to go around me and he

40
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.199
gets on the rock. His old
front end on the car goes up.

41
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.560
Is terrible for him. He gets
out of the car and I just make

42
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:54.800
a scene, big scene, and
while he's trying to push me away from

43
00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:00.680
his property, and I'm trying to
take what's mine. I used to do

44
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.840
wrestling in high school, and so
I did this cool submission. I don't

45
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:08.599
even know what I did, but
it was cool in the dream. And

46
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.919
I put him down on the ground
and I'm like, you owe me what's

47
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.000
mine. And the Lord begins to
wake me up from the dream in that

48
00:04:15.079 --> 00:04:24.519
moment, and he whispered something to
me, how I just begin to cry,

49
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.160
and he says to me like waking
me up from this dream, no

50
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.839
time to process what's going on.
Nothing just wakes me up. I still

51
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.959
feel the injustice, by the way. I still feel like have you ever

52
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:38.839
woken from a dream and you're still
in the dream and you feel what you're

53
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.800
feeling in the dream. And so
I still feel like somebody owes me money.

54
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:47.240
I don't know who it is.
And I hear the Holy Spirit brings

55
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:51.240
the words of Jesus to my mind
as I'm laying on My eyes are still

56
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:56.079
closed. I just woke up.
It was like three in the morning or

57
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.600
six, and I don't remember.
It was early in the morning. And

58
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.720
he says to me, says,
if they take your shirt, give him

59
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:10.560
your coat, and if they force
you to walk one mile, walk too.

60
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:17.240
And in the matter of ten seconds, I go from feeling like I

61
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.439
need to take what's mine and if
I ain't defending myself, nobody will.

62
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:28.399
In this perspective that I had for
myself in my life, the Lord being

63
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:33.480
a interject and he's saying, it's
more blessed to give than to receive.

64
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:41.920
Your job is to love. His
job is to give justice. How many

65
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:46.319
of us know that the Kingdom of
God it's an upside down kingdom. The

66
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.839
first shall be last, the last
shall be first. If you want to

67
00:05:50.879 --> 00:06:00.160
be the greatest among us, you
shall be the least the servant. And

68
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.680
today I want to talk about this
perspective, the kingdom perspective. And God

69
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:08.639
was just totally like reckon me.
He woke me up from a dream just

70
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.439
to wreck me in the middle of
the night. And I was wrecked.

71
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:17.000
And I was like, God,
I don't want I don't want to ounce

72
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:24.240
of a perspective that doesn't belong to
you. If you turned with me to

73
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:31.360
Mark chapter eight in this In this
chapter, Jesus asks his disciples who do

74
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.680
people say I am? And they
begin to say you're this, You're that,

75
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:43.800
You're prophet, great guy, the
greatest guy that has ever lived.

76
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.519
And then he asked him who do
you say I am? And Peter gets

77
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:53.040
up and he's like, man,
you're the Messiah. And then Jesus.

78
00:06:53.120 --> 00:07:00.439
After that was revealed to the disciples, Jesus begins to tell them what Jesus

79
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.959
must go through, that he must
suffer at the hand of the Pharisees,

80
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:08.639
and that he will die but on
the third dead hell in third day he'll

81
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:14.680
raise from the dead and Peter full
of revelation. It's like God forbid that

82
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:21.279
happened to you, Jesus, and
watch what happens. In verse thirty three,

83
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:29.399
Jesus turned around and looked at his
disciples and then reprimended Peter. Get

84
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:34.639
away from me, Satan. He
said, you are seeing things merely from

85
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:44.079
a human point of view and not
from God's. Several things going on here,

86
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:50.040
first thing he guys, ready for
this. The first thing Jesus releases

87
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:57.120
to Peter and to us is that
your revelation of Jesus and your proximity to

88
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:07.120
Jesus does not exempt you from being
influenced by Satan. Your nearness, your

89
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:13.759
relationship to Jesus does not exempt you
from the attack and influence of the devil.

90
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.959
The second thing he does is there's
a separation that Jesus performs from what

91
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:31.240
God thinks and what man think.
And God's ways are always higher. And

92
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:37.200
so watch what he does. He
marries. He marries, marries like conjoins

93
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:46.279
human perspective with Satan. But in
doing so, watch what he does.

94
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:52.559
He conjoins Peter's perspective with God's.
It'll hit you in just a second.

95
00:08:54.639 --> 00:09:01.000
Jesus did not say to Peter,
get away from me, Peter. He

96
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.559
turned to Peter and said, get
away from me, Satan, for the

97
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:13.759
perspective is of this world and not
from God. In joining a worldly perspective

98
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:18.559
to Satan, he pulled Peter out
of that and said, that is not

99
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:24.240
you, Peter, and he's speaking
that over his bride over us. That

100
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.120
is not our perspective, the human
perspective, the worldly perspective is not our

101
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.399
perspective. We're called to where our
identity is in Christ, and Christ is

102
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.320
seated with him. We're seated in
the heavenly places. Therefore, the perspective

103
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:46.480
that we have as kingdom people is
different than the human perspective. And so

104
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:54.600
one might ask what caused Peter to
try to get Jesus to not die.

105
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.600
What caused Peter to have this thing
build up inside of him and say,

106
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:07.080
no, Jesus, you cannot die
this, this cannot be to rebuke Jesus.

107
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.840
It's like I'm reading this thing.
The only thing I could think of

108
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.639
a selfishness. Selfishness. Selfishness is
way more than greed, by the way,

109
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:24.759
selfishness is a filter that when it
comes onto your eyes, when when

110
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.240
when when a person is selfish.
Everything they see, everything they do,

111
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:43.679
the way they think is for self, even subconsciously. James, chapter three,

112
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:52.720
verse fifteen, jealousy and selfishness is
not God's wisdom, the word wisdom.

113
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.440
It's it's almost like a form of
life. And you live the way

114
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:03.600
you see by the way, So
it comes from a perspective. So selfishness

115
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:11.919
and jealousy, James writes that it
is not God's wisdom. Such things are

116
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:18.440
earthly, unspiritual, and demonic.
Once again we find that selfishness does not

117
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:24.200
belong to the body of Christ.
It belongs to demonic theology and demonic thinking.

118
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:31.639
I know this is strong and it's
heavy, but like we're singing crazy

119
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:37.559
songs. Guys, we're singing like
I'm not satisfied. We're singing things like

120
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:43.480
I want to real encounter. I'll
tell you what. When you present yourself

121
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.320
before the Lord and you say,
God, I'm not satisfied and I want

122
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:54.080
to real encounter, there must be
an exchange that happens. And we find

123
00:11:54.120 --> 00:12:01.960
this exchange back in Mark chapter eight, verse thirty four, when Jesus rebuked

124
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.799
Satan and Peter. When Jesus rebuked
the perspective that Peter was coming with.

125
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.480
He gives them, He gives him. I don't want to say this wrong?

126
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.879
Is it the anecdote? Yeah?
Is that right? He gives them

127
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.559
the solution for that perspective. I
gotta use simple words. I don't know

128
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:28.559
what I'm thinking Verse thirty four.
Then, calling out to the crowd,

129
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.600
he says, if anyone, any
one of you wants to be my follower,

130
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:43.960
you must turn from your selfish ways. M Why would Jesus say that

131
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:52.480
right after rebuking the Satan and Peter? Why? Because there needs to be

132
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.720
in exchange. You must lay down
your perspective for his perspective. There is

133
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:00.960
no two. There is no my
way in his way. A lot of

134
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.000
us try to make a plan for
our life and then ask God to bless

135
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.039
it. No, we got to
lay down our life so that He can

136
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.039
show us the direction and it will
be blessed. A lot of us are

137
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:18.519
scared to tithe. He's already laid
it out in here. Why what are

138
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:24.360
we holding onto? Like? God
can do more with your ten percent than

139
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:31.279
you can do with your hundred.
But we're so tied to self and selfish?

140
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.039
And how do I and what I
can I do? I mean,

141
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:39.120
you look at COVID nineteen. Yeah, I'm going way back there. COVID

142
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:46.639
nineteen. We think it's about a
disease, death, and and just there's

143
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:52.360
so much more that the enemy did
than death. He's trying to infiltrate the

144
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:58.559
perspective of the bride. What did
COVID do before you walked out? Grab

145
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.840
a mask? You don't know who
you're gonna meet. You're always thinking.

146
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.639
Every day. I remember, probably
over a year, every single day somebody

147
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.919
said something about COVID. And if
we talked about Jesus that way, I'm

148
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:16.440
telling you things would shift around us. But watch, every day we talked

149
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.200
about COVID every day, Like I
don't remember, I remember thinking, I

150
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.720
can't wait for the day somebody doesn't
talk about COVID. I just can't wait.

151
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:26.919
But every day we talked about it, and in the back of our

152
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:33.080
mind, in the subconscious of our
brain, the enemy infiltrated and made us

153
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:37.440
think in selfish ways. It didn't
just end with COVID. What's some of

154
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:46.279
the fruits of COVID? Distance,
fear. Somebody just said it, less

155
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:54.240
love, less hope, less fellowship. A lot of us just got cooked

156
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.080
up in our homes and we got
used to being distant from others, and

157
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.320
then we're saying we're traverted. Okay, I'm not gonna go there. Oh,

158
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.200
Lord, please forgive me for that
one. That one. I don't

159
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:07.960
know if that one was the Lord. But I'll tell you what. I'll

160
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:15.840
tell you what. There's so much
in here about fellowship with one another that

161
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:20.960
we can't hide behind the way we
think that God created us and separate from

162
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.799
each other. There needs to be
a fellowship. Okay, there's a position,

163
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:28.159
and there's a place where you're just
more reserved and to yourself. That's

164
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:39.720
fine, but don't hide from others. They got us to daily think self

165
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:45.639
centered thoughts, and the self centered
thoughts put a filter on the rest of

166
00:15:45.639 --> 00:16:00.000
our thinking, referring to money,
referring to time, what we do with

167
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:04.080
our time, with our energy,
how we plan and what we plan for

168
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:10.799
in the back of our mind.
Through even COVID just got thinking about me,

169
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.919
myself and I when in Mark Jesus
is saying, if you want to

170
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:26.320
be his follower, me myself and
I must die. I know it's kind

171
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:33.519
of it's kind of strong, but
it's good. This is good. To

172
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:37.360
be selfish is to be contrary to
the design of God in your life.

173
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:44.120
You weren't created for yourself first and
foremost. You were created for the Lord

174
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:55.399
and for your neighbor. Believe it
or not. It's like I'm gonna bring

175
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:59.720
this example, like a man can
build a house, I've heard this,

176
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:04.039
but a woman can make it a
home. It's just one phrase of so

177
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:11.039
much of what God does with fellowship, like and Psalms. I believe it

178
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:18.759
writes one equals one thousand, but
two equals ten thousand? What kind of

179
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:23.000
math is that? What is three
equal? What about four? What about

180
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:36.759
two hundred? In the room?
Oh Lord, I don't know what I'm

181
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:38.920
gonna do, Like my time is
out. But that was like half the

182
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:49.359
message. There's like there's like there's
a second part to this. And oh

183
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.640
lord, why don't you guys just
sign up for Kingdom School of Transformation.

184
00:17:52.680 --> 00:18:02.680
We'll go through it there. I
don't know, we'll just do it in

185
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:03.880
here. We don't have to do
it in the Fellowship of Alve. I

186
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:08.000
mean, we are like twentysome students
and it's okay. If we get a

187
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:14.920
hundre, that's fine. Do sign
up within three days, by the way,

188
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:21.839
and pay the money. We'll take
that too. The second part of

189
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:26.599
all this is your conscience, Jesus
says, and I believe. In Mark

190
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:32.400
chapter five he says that blessed are
the pure in heart, for they shall

191
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.640
see God. There's a perspective that
is only accessible through a purity of heart.

192
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:44.480
The word heart is really connected to
that conscience place of who you are.

193
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:49.079
The conscience God gave us is one
of the most valuable and treasured things

194
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:53.000
for a believer, because the conscience
is where the spirit of the Lord.

195
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:56.640
To those who believe in Jesus,
that's where the spirit of the Lord comes

196
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:03.599
and makes his home with your conscience, and out of that place he begins

197
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.599
to convict you of sin, selfishness, and anything else that is not connected

198
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.720
to the Lord. It is through
that conscious place that I had the dream

199
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:18.400
where the Lord began a correct selfishness
and what I thought was righteous justice.

200
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:25.880
And it's that place that He gives
us that is to be treasured, to

201
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:33.079
be valued, And a lot of
times we find and even in John chapter

202
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.200
ten, verse three, Jesus brings
up almost like a parable where he says,

203
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.720
my sheep hear my voice, and
the voice they hear, they follow

204
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:47.000
and I'm a good shepherd. There's
there's that scripture and Jesus says that the

205
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:51.759
sheep, when they hear a stranger's
voice, they flee, they don't run

206
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:59.519
because they don't recognize that voice.
But what happens when you hear the voice

207
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:10.960
of Jesus and you ignore it,
that's called a violation. It's where you

208
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.240
violate your conscience. It's where you
violate the most treasured thing God gave you.

209
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:21.279
It's that place to be kept holy. And the way that the Lord

210
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:29.079
speaks through your conscience isn't like loud. Yeah, somebody said I wish it

211
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:36.480
was. Yeah. He calms like
a gentle whisper. Conviction, just so

212
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:41.279
subtle, almost like if you dare
think twice, you'll miss it. He's

213
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:49.000
just like poored because he's testing our
hearts in response to the shepherd's voice.

214
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:57.599
And what happens is when we continuously
violate the conscience. What happens as we

215
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:08.200
become corrupted, and the price we
pay for not following the shepherd's voice is

216
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:18.240
following one of us strangers. The
voice of a stranger sounds like selfishness,

217
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:23.839
greed, it's my tithe, my
money, Well they did me wrong.

218
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:32.799
I'll refer you back to Mark thirty
four thirty five eight thirty four thirty five.

219
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:40.839
Anything contrary to the self lessness is
contrary to your design and the Lord.

220
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:52.799
So if we'll take a few steps
back. As believers, the Lord

221
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.640
gave us a conscience, and he
breathed this Holy spirit into us to speak

222
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.960
through that place of our conscience,
a redeemed auncience that tells us what's right,

223
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.759
what's wrong. It's more than just
morals. Unbelievers can have good morals.

224
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:07.640
It's more than that. It's the
whisper of Lord. You see,

225
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:12.599
Joseph had a good moral and good
heart to let go of Mary when he

226
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:15.359
found out she was pregnant. But
that was not the Lord. That was

227
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:19.160
not Godly. So that place of
your conscience, where the Lord speaks,

228
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:25.240
is more than just morals and good
thoughts and earthly wisdom. It's a perspective

229
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:29.480
that is a Kingdom perspective. And
we cannot see what God wants us to

230
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:33.279
see unless that place is cleaned,
unless that place is clear. A lot

231
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.720
of us made commitments to not watch
things, and we're watching them. I'm

232
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:42.079
being real. A lot of us
made commitments to not speak a certain way,

233
00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:49.440
slander or slandering or speaking certain ways. A lot of us know in

234
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:56.000
our heart that we need to forgive, truly forgive as though it never happened.

235
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:11.920
Yet we find Christian language to justify. Yeah, that's demonic, That's

236
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:18.960
what James said, the wisdom of
this world that is selfish. It's demonic.

237
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:25.119
And it being demonic it means it's
not you. So there's no shame.

238
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:30.599
And repentance. I think Jeff mentioned
it in the first service. He

239
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:36.359
said, repentance is just the change
of course. It's it's just a little

240
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:40.880
bit of a change of course,
and repentance is actually God's little grace kiss

241
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:45.319
to you for you to be able
to shift and change and to pursue what's

242
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:48.000
right, pursue what's holy, because
that's who you're called to be. It's

243
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.519
an identity question. Do you know
who you belong to? Do you know

244
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.559
who you are? Because the moment
that revelation hits you, things begin to

245
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.440
shift. The way you see things. All of a sudden, you're holy

246
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.200
and the way you do things is
holy and you don't even know why.

247
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:07.240
It's because the Spirit of God has
sprinkled the blood of Jesus over your conscience

248
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:11.279
and has purified things I want to
go to Hebrews Chapter nine, real quick,

249
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:22.599
verse twelve, in verse fourteen.
With his own blood, not the

250
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:26.359
blood of goats and calves, he
entered the most holy Place once and for

251
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:33.559
all and secured our redemption forever verse
fourteen. Just think how much more the

252
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:38.599
blood of Jesus will purify our conscience
from sinful beads, so that we can

253
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:47.720
worship the Living God Chapter ten,
verse nineteen. And so, dear brothers

254
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:52.480
and sisters, we can boldly enter
Heaven's most holy place because of the blood

255
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:56.119
of Jesus. By his death,
Jesus opened a new and life giving way

256
00:24:56.200 --> 00:25:00.279
through the curtain into the most holy
Place. And since we we have a

257
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:04.200
great high priest who rules God's house, let us go right into the presence

258
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:11.000
of God with sincere hearts, fully
trusting him, for our guilty conscience has

259
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:18.519
been sprinkled with Christ's blood to make
us clean. John chapter one, verse

260
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:25.440
one First John chapter one, verse
nine. If we confess our sins to

261
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:30.200
him, he is faithful to forgive
our sins and to cleanse us of all

262
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:34.599
wickedness and all unrighteousness. That cleansing
of wickedness and unrighteousness. It's a question

263
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:38.720
of conscience and heart. It's not
a question of just what I've done.

264
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:45.519
It's an inward cleaning and it's only
possible through the sprinkle of the blood of

265
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:51.200
the Lamb. That's why we take
communion. I'd like for you guys to

266
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:57.720
stand with me. I don't know
where you are in life. I don't

267
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:04.160
know how you violated your conscience.
See, the Bible says everything is permissible,

268
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:11.079
but not everything is beneficial, and
so a lot of times the Bible

269
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.000
doesn't have a clearer yes and no. But the Holy Spirit conscience in you

270
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.319
is a clear yes and no.
And a violation of that is a violation

271
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:25.160
of sin. That's in Romans,
I believe chapter sixteen. When you violate

272
00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:30.720
the conscience, that's sin. But
here's the beauty that you and I behold,

273
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:37.119
it's the blood of the Lamb.
If you want to real encounter,

274
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:44.039
this is the most precious thing you
can have, is a blood washed conscience.

275
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:48.960
The place where the Lord can finally
land on. Did you know every

276
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:55.160
day you can walk that way to
have fellowship and communion with the Lord.

277
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:08.559
Did you close your eyes Father this
morning? Spirit of the Living God,

278
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:14.960
would you convict our hearts and our
minds of any place. But we've stumbled

279
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:41.440
to hear your voice. Any place
we've violated our conscience. I'll say that

280
00:27:49.559 --> 00:28:07.480
the blood jeans Lodge. Come on, just sing that the blood of jeeves.

281
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:30.599
I can oh again, nothing sing
out precious no, prescious is love

282
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:51.640
makes me? Why nother fusie?
No? God, if you have to

283
00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:53.160
go get your kids, please go
get him. I want to invite the

284
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:59.200
City team. Please come up.
If you can't quickly, it's a gentle

285
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:02.880
moment. It doesn't have to be
so emotionful. It could just be good

286
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.960
holy conviction. Like some of us
are sleeping outside of marriage with other people,

287
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:11.920
like just repent to like be called
higher. There's things that God is

288
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.640
doing. Some of us are just
uncontrollably drinking, Like God can God can

289
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:19.119
free you from that. And not
only that, there's a place for holiness

290
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:23.119
and the spiritual Lord. He will
begin a convict and he will do his

291
00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:27.400
job and your responsibilities just to respond
to him. Just say yes to him.

292
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:30.640
And so as the death Ciny team
comes up. If the Lord is

293
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:34.640
convicting you of something and maybe you
got to repent from someone, just be

294
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:41.200
quick to respond to him. It's
not worth it to resist him. It's

295
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.640
not worth it to not follow the
shepherd's voice. So this this, as

296
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:55.279
we close this service, don't fail
to respond to Precious Jesus. Thank you,
