Father, we just bless you, and we open our hearts to the word
right now. We love your word, we love your voice, we love
we just love every aspect of you and all that you have for us.
We welcome you to come right now and just right on our hearts, right
on our hearts, wash us with the water of the word. We ask
in Jesus' name. Everybody said, Amen, I want to talk to you
about the goodness of God, and because I think that's what he wants to
talk to you about, and I think it's to work more assurance within you.
I think that that Father wants you to have so much assurance in you
about His goodness toward you, that you can overcome every challenge and that you
can defend yourself against all seduction, seduction of fear, seduction of self effort,
seduction of distrust. You know, I just believe that about what he
has. So I want to start though, just talking about this thing about
Heaven on earth. So we know that this is the maybe a central point
to the Lord's prayer, and we talk about it a lot here. It's
one of our themes, you know, And so it's out of Matthew six
' nine through eleven, the Lord's prayer right, and it's the disciples saying
how should we pray? Just how to pray? John taught his disciples how
to pray. We would love it if you would teach us how to pray.
And so that's, you know, that's this prayer. So then he
says, our father, who aren't in heaven hell, it would be thy
name, thy Kingdom, Come, Thy will be done. And it's actually,
it's interesting, you know, our language doesn't do this very fair,
and that's how we can get deceived because in our language, actually our language
sounds like it's more of a petitionary prayer. But in the Greek or the
Aramaic, in what he spoke, it's actually more of a declarative prayer.
So I don't know if you've heard that before. I've been taught that,
but that was something that Larry Lee brought out for years when he taught on
prayer all across the nation and the nations. It's actually come, thy Kingdom,
be done, thy will. It's more of a prophecy than it is
a petition. It's more of a declaration because whatever you lose will be loosed
if you lose what he's loosed, and in the Christ he was losing God's
kingdom, which is not only God's kingdom, but it's the Kingdom of Heaven.
He was releasing it on the earth. That's what he came to do.
He came to release his kingdom on the earth. And it wasn't just
the Kingdom of God. We know it's synonymous with the Kingdom of Heaven.
You often hear me talk about that, but I'll talk about it a little
bit more again because you have to see that it's very important that you see
the two or one that the Kingdom of God is the Kingdom of Heaven,
and Heaven represented something significant because and visually to them as they would have heard
it, they would have understood as well that Eden was an expression of Heaven.
So essentially everything that was lost in Eden, which was a replica of
Heaven. Now, Jesus was saying, you are to proclaim that it come.
You are, and this is what will please Father, is that you
pray this way, that you say this way, that you speak this way,
that you come into agreement that this is what's happening. Now. Because
of the way that we have it in the English and because of bad theology,
and we say bad theology. Of course, anything that isn't Duyne's theology
is bad theology. So you know that to be true. Well, you
you're part of my church, so you must believe something that's going on here.
If you didn't, you should get out of here. So because of
and there is a such thing as bad theology, is there not? All
right? Good, thank you for saying that. So because of bad theology,
some people see that what Jesus was saying in the Lord's Prayer is actually
looking down the timeline to the second Advent advent. I'm not talking about the
Seven day Adventists, I'm not talking about a church. Advent means his coming.
There was the first coming. That means that's advent. Everybody's advent.
There was the first coming, and then there is a there is a second
advent, there is a second coming. Right, So some reading that this
is a sideline, this is a French fry. I'm just thrown out at
you. You know, we like to dip our friends fries and ice cream.
So this is this is it's good. You should try it. A
little salt down the little salt French Fryan ice cream. It's good. So
so some people reading that text Matthew six nine through eleven, they see it
as a prayer for the second coming, Thy Kingdom come, I will someday
be done honor as it is in heaven, someday in the sweet by and
by someday when he finally comes back. So that's how some people see that.
We know that's wrong. As new horizonates, everybody say that's wrong,
bad theology, say that with me bad. That isn't what Jesus was saying.
He came to lose the kingdom of heaven. He came to bring the
kingdom of heaven. He came to empower us in the Kingdom of heaven.
So what's crazy about that is that you know that became and has become like
a core text on prayer, and that core text on prayer was something that
the nations would have never been able to pray. But he says, this
is how how you should pray. This is God's will that you pray this,
and this is what God wants to accomplish. Now we know in Deuteronomy
thirty two. We know in Deuteronomy thirty two, and it's around verse eight,
and I don't have it here, but this is where God divided the
nations, and this is where the seventy nations were, the etymology of the
seventy nations. And this is around the time of the Tower of Babel.
And we know that God only reserved one nation for himself. Who is that
nation? So that nation that He reserved for himself Deuteronomy thirty two to eight.
God divided the nations, separated the sons of Adam, set boundaries for
the people. God put each person within those boundaries and under the care of
divine or Elohim, not divine as in spiritually divine, but Elohim, sons
of God. And he divided up the number based on the number of angels,
or according to the number of the sons or these Elohim of God.
And so this is where the seventy nations come right. We know that sixty
nine of those their hearts were turned against God, and so he turned them
over to unclean Elohim. Only one nation did he saved for himself, and
that nation they were then called. God was working with them, even though
they were banished from Eden. God in his heart toward them, was working
with them that they would be the one nation on the earth, not only
through whom the Messiah would come, so that all would be blessed. God
actually prophesied. Galicians III says that God propheside the salvation of the nations when
he spoke over Abraham and said, through you, all the nations will be
blessed. And so God, now through this one nation he sanctifies them,
and he allows them to taste of Eden, to taste of heaven through their
journey until the Christ would come. Right, so we see that the picture
of that in the land of Goshen, We see the picture of that in
the land given to Abram. We see that in the land called the Promise
Land. So all the way through there's pictures reoccurring pictures of God blessing Israel
with abundance and goodness. Right, and though their righteousness was by faith,
He gave them ordinances that they would follow. And he told them that if
they would follow those ordinances, that they would be the head and not the
tail above and not beneath, that they would lend and not borrow, that
they would be blessed going out and blessed coming in. All of that was
what all of that was the foretaste of heaven. All of that was a
foretaste although it. Now he's declaring that every nation can pray, and this
would be the first that every nation could pray that. And as far as
we know in this room, every one of you have come out of gentile
nations, as far as we know. If your Hebrew, come and tell
me if you're part of the ten lost tribes, or if you're part of
the two that aren't lost, come and tell me afterwards, and we'll check
out your Hebrew. But as far as we know, for the most part,
most of us had come out of the other nations, nations that were
ruled by darkness. All of our nations were ruled by darkness. All of
our nations were pagan, All of our nations were heathens. All of our
nations were unclean. All of our nations were caught up in war and destruction.
All of our nations were not We did not taste of heaven on earth.
But now he says, pray this way. And when he said pray
this way, remember what he said is loose this with your tongue. Come
into agreement with God that this is what he wants to do. Heaven come.
Will of God be done on earth as it is in heaven. Now,
we know some things about heaven, right, we know some things about
heaven. We know there's no sickness in heaven. We know there's no disease
in heaven. We know there's no I was going to say, there's no
death in heaven. There's no premature death in heaven either. There's no crying
in heaven. There's no mourning in heaven. There's no weeping in heaven.
There's no sorrow in heaven. There's no poverty in heaven. There's no lack
in heaven. There's no discouragement in heaven. There's no fear in heaven.
There's no turmoil in heaven. There's no chaos in heaven. There's no negativity
in heaven. There's no depression in heaven. There's no rejection in heaven,
no abandonment in heaven, no bitterness in heaven, no animosity in heaven,
no wars in heaven. This is what He's ordained for every single person that
now comes to him through Christ. That's why it's called good news. And
this is what they were preaching. The word that they went out, they
went and preached the gospel. What they were preaching isn't even recorded all the
time. It's just encapsulated in the message called the Gospel. What we see
continuously in the writer's expression is that they were to preach the Gospel, which
is everything I just told you. It's the Gospel of it's the good News
of the Kingdom of Heaven. And that means it's the good news of the
Kingdom of Heaven on earth. How do I know that? Well? I
know it because of the text. I know by all these texts. I
know it by Matthew sixteen nineteen. Behold, I give you the keys to
the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. And whatever you bind will be bound,
and whatever you loose will be loosed. He gave them the keys to free
heaven. Right. So, and much of that was just like we didn't
we don't. We don't hear every sermon that Jesus preached. We don't hear
every sermon that Paul preached. We don't hear every sermon. The whole sermons
aren't written down. The encapsulation of the message is called the Gospel, and
the gospels called the good News of the Kingdom of Heaven. And so we're
supposed to understand. Oh, then what they proclaimed was Isaiah sixty one and
more. How do I know that well, because that's the first sermon,
the first sermon in Luke chapter four. Right, So Luke chapter four,
he's baptized in water. The dove descends, the voice of God comes out
the atmosphere. This is my beloved son and whom I'm well please. The
Holy Spirit descends on him, and he's baptized in the Holy Spirit with power,
though he's the son of God. There's a baptism of power, just
like we receive. So he had a two part thing going on. Everybody
say two part remember the two part thing. And that's how it works for
us. We become a son or a daughter. Then there's a baptism of
power. Upon the baptism of power came upon him though he was a son.
Then he goes into the wilderness. He's fasting for forty days. At
the end of the fast, he's hungry and he's thirsty. Then he's challenged
by the enemy. He overcomes the enemy, and then he comes out of
that experience in the power of the Spirit, and he comes out with the
message of the Gospel, the message of the good News. I'll read you
a verse in a minute. We'll actually get to the Bible. Then it
says that he went into the synagogue and he asks for the scroll of Isaiah.
So they hand him Isaiah and he opens it up to what is for
us chapter sixty one. But there weren't chapters in those days. But he
opens it up and he finds what is for us chapter sixty one, and
he starts to read it. Would you like to hear what he read?
Because this is the gospel. Everybody say gospel, this is the gospel,
this is the good news. Having me think the good news should be good,
Let's see if I can find it somewhere? Does anybody have it?
Does the stream have it? Where is it? What have I done with
myself? Where did the preacher go? Jesus? So here it is here?
It is here, it is verse eighteen. We have an overhead protector,
person halle Louish Verse eighteen. The spear of the Lord is upon me.
So he this is his first sermon, because he has anointed me to
preach, to proclaim good news to the poor. By the way, it's
the poor, It's not the poor jew. The fact is the Jews didn't
have a poverty problem. I love somebody this is his declaration of a liberation.
And what this actually is, by the way, Isaiah sixty one,
I don't know if we've realized this. I don't know. Maybe you already
realized this, maybe you've heard me saying before. But Isaiah's sixty one is
essentially his declaration of Leviticus chapter twenty five. This is his declaration of a
perpetual jew believe. So these particular listeners when they heard what he was saying,
they're like, oh, my goodness, he's quoting out of Levetica's chapter
twenty five. What in the world And they're trying to figure it out.
This is back. Isaiah declares it looking forward to the Messiah, to the
coming of the Christ. Now Christ grabs the scroll and he reads it,
and he's not looking forward. He's He's going to declare something. And this
is the gospel. It's the gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Gospel
of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, and it comes with a perpetual jubilee.
Everybody said, ju believe, you can't even say that without like smiling.
Can you say jubilee without acting happy? Jubilie? Did you know some
Christian folks from People's Church. So I was the youth pastor of People's Church
for five and a half years. You know over there wrangle in one hundred
and twenty youth and you know one of our church members. They had a
hamburger shop in Tacoma called Hamburgers. You ever been there? Anybody ever been
the Jubilee Hamburgers over on thirty eighth there you go see there, Well that
that was Jubilee Hamburgers because they were rejoicing over every burger because they got the
jubilee. They had the perpetual jubilee because they were Christians. So they named
their burger shop Jubilee Hamburgers. I know, just a little trivia there for
you. The love grass fed beef. There you go, God bless you
get some more of that grass fed beef. So he grabs the scroll the
spear of the Lord's bond, because he's annoying me to proclaim good news to
the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery
of sight for the blind, to set view press free, to proclaim the
year of the Lord's favor. But he didn't mean, oh, this is
the year a d thirty three point five. That isn't what he meant.
What he meant was, I am declaring a perpetual jubilee over humankind, over
the earth, and over mankind, and it will be loosed through me.
That's what he was saying. And then he rolled up the scroll, gave
it back to the attendant, and sat down. And then the eyes of
all the people of the synagogue are intently directed at him. Imagine, you
know, like three or four hundred people like staring at the guy. I
don't know how many were there that day. And he began to say to
them, today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing. Everybody say today,
this is why we know that the Kingdom of Heaven didn't. It's not
something forward, not something in the future. Though there is a growth.
The Kingdom of Heaven is growing as Father subdues all of the enemies of the
Christ, as his promise three times in scripture, and he puts them under
his feet. There is a progressive victory over all of the enemies of the
Christ, as he is putting them all under his feet. Everybody say feet,
what part is the body of Christ? What part is the body of
Christ? Are you the head. No, you're actually the body the body.
You're not getting it. Are the feet a part of the body?
That was better? Okay, I just wasn't saying it right, That's all.
It was me. It was me, I was messing up. God
is putting all the enemies of Christ under the feet of Christ. You,
being the body of Christ, represent the feet of Christ. Therefore God is
putting all of the enemies. Now, everybody say the word all. Could
all include the curse? Could all include the curse? Could the curse be
included in all? When did that start? Is it something we're looking forward
to or is it something that already started? Today? This scripture is fulfilled
in your hearing. Did you know you will only part take of what you
believe you're entitled to partake of. Did you know there's for the most part,
no healing that takes place in churches where they believed that healing shouldn't take
place. Why do you think why do you think that there's virtually no healing
that takes place in churches where they believe that no healing should take place because
they don't believe for healing to take place, so they don't lose it in
their heart, and they don't lose it with their voice. They don't agree
with it, and so God is deactivated. The presence of God, the
spirit of God, the power of God is deactivated in those places. Though
they partake of salvation of the spirit, they don't partake of the blessing of
healing. Did you know? Very little God released blessings? Prosperity increase is
released in churches where they believe that God doesn't bless increase and prosper the people
of God. Why are they prospering? Because Jesus came and he loosed a
grace on the earth like no other, and they can partake of a level
of it through their self effort. But jubilee means you've been delivered from the
self effort. The picture of the jubilee, by the way, the picture
of the jubilee, this happened in Israel, and with Israel every fiftieth year,
everybody say fifty. And by the way, it was upon the celebration
of Jubilee, upon the celebration of the fiftieth year, which is Pentecost,
Penta meaning fifty, that the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the early church,
symbolizing not only the outpouring of power. But the outpouring of heaven it
was, and just the outpouring of power, it was the outpouring of heaven.
Oh that sounds way too secular for me. That sounds way too materialistic.
Oh really, well, God created a materialistic world for you to live
in and to enjoy. And I'm glad you put on clothes this morning because
the materialistic things are covering up a lot of stuff I didn't want to see
today. So thank God you have a little bit of materialism. I love
somebody, So you believe happened every fiftieth year. There were seven years of
seven, so seven seven seven celebrations all the way through on the seventieth seventh
seventh year. But on the seventh cycle through the next year was the fiftieth
year, and it was the year of Jubilee. Let me read to you
a little bit about the year of Jubilee. Okay? Is that all right?
Okay? So it was called the acceptable, the year of the Lord.
It was called the favorable year of the Lord. It was called the
year of the Lord's favor. The words you believe literally means the blast of
the horn. I gotta be honest with you, I played trumpet growing up,
and I prefer those over those other things. But the other things are
fine. Mine had valves and those others. See, we had to we
had to work on the ambrature of our lips to get the right tone out
of the horn. But when some of you below your horn, you haven't
you haven't perfected anything melodic, And so we just get this giant noise and
it sounds exciting to some, but it can hurt the ears to others.
I'm just saying, but it literally means the blast of the horn. The
fiftieth year, it's a time of celebration and rejoicing. The Ram's horn was
blown blown. The year of Jubilee was a release of indebtedness, a release
of all bondage. All prisoners and captives were set free, All slaves were
released, All debts were forgiven, all property was returned. Labor was deceased
for a year. Now, think about that. Labor was to cease,
self effort was to cease for a year. The land was to rest,
and the people were to rest for the entire fiftieth year. And God is
saying that Christ is the fullness of that picture, and that we enter into
a perpetual jubilee, where he is our source. He is our supply,
and we can literally drink liptin lemon flavored highly sweetened iced tea on a lounge
chair. I love somebody. This is how you should posture your heart,
by the way. That's not the way I posture my work, but the
way I posture my heart while I work has to be that He is my
provider. And it doesn't matter that interest rates for seven and a half percent.
It doesn't matter that gas is five dollars a gallon. It doesn't matter
what's going up, it doesn't matter what goes down. It doesn't matter what's
happening in life. This world is not my source. Self effort is not
my source. I've been delivered from the curse on the earth. I've been
delivered from the curse of the law, and I've been delivered into the Kingdom
of Heaven, where Heaven is my source. And it's not my source for
one year, it's my source perpetually. I'm a partaker of the abundance of
Heaven perpetually, so my heart can rest continually no matter what's happening around me.
This is the picture of Peter when Jesus says, Peter says, if
it's you bid me to come, and he says it's me, go ahead
and come. And it's the picture of the walk of faith to Jesus.
There's always a walk of faith to whatever he's called you to, whatever he's
put in your heart, whatever he's deposited within you, whatever vision he gave
you, whatever he's developing in you, that you, as long as your
eyes are on him, you literally can walk across the water circumstances that are
crazy waves going nuts, and you will never sink. It's impossible for you
to sink. You can only sink if you take your eyes off of Him
who called you, him who bid you come on the water of his word.
It doesn't matter what your taxes are. Quit complaining about taxes. It's
just overhead, and God has it covered. Everybody has to pay it across
the entire planet. Quit moaning and grown in like you're some special thing that
you have to be. God already knows all about your taxes, and he
has it covered. If you choose to believe that He has it covered,
just as he had it covered for the Lord who called a fish to bring
him a coin off the bottom of the sea to pay the taxes. God
also can make sure all of your taxes are paid because He has sent the
Sun to release the blessing of heaven in your life and over you. Fact
is, you should stop complaining about everything. You should never complain again as
long as you live. Stop complaining and live in the thanksgiving. Complaint only
turns you into complaint is being driven by fear, being driven by fear and
driven by comparison. Stop complaining and look to Him who is sufficient to you
for everything, who Romans eight thirty two, Him who gave you the kingdom,
Will he not also freely give you all things? Oh my goodness,
you don't need more complaining. You need more courage, more faith to believe
what is in this book, which is so incredibly beyond comparison that you've got
to pinch yourself to make sure you're still are. You've got to be kidding
me. You have got to look at the word more and realize you've got
to bring your heart into more conformity to faith because this gospel is too good
to believe. It's too good to be true. I haven't given you the
full delio yet, but I didn't even read my gospel verses, so disappointed
to myself teasing facetious speech. Listen to this, listen to this. Uh,
you know, most of the time in church we talk about we talk
about Galicians three thirteen that he bore the curse for us to deliver us from
the curse. And there it's the curse of the law. So he delivered
us from the curse of the law, which is Deuteronomy twenty eight. Deuteronomy
twenty eight has like sixty two verses. The first fifteen are all about the
blessings of the law, and then the last forty seven or something like that
are all about the curses of not keeping the law. And so Galatians three
thirteen, believe me, it's relevant, and it may be supremely relevant to
be delivered from the curse of the law. But also he's delivered as from
the curse that came upon Adam. And in Genesis three it says, curse
it is the ground because of you, through painful toil. You will eat
food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and
thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field by the
sweat of your brow. Now there's a lot of verses on the breakthrough of
the Lord for us, but I want you to hear a couple of them,
because the picture of redemption for us is not just the scope of the
law. And I think it had to be this way because the gentile nations
weren't under the law. But the scope of what God did for us is
to remove the curse that came upon first Atom, and Luke twenty two forty
four says, and being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his
sweat was like or became like drops of blood falling to the ground. Now,
I want you to go somewhere with me theologically, just for a thought.
What you saw in Genesis three that I just read to you was the
inheritance of Adam after the fall, separated from God. But it couldn't have
been the inherence of Jesus. The second Atom, who was one with the
Father, and who was righteous and under temptation, continued in righteousness. So
I want you to see something that until this day in the garden, in
a garden very similar to the garden that Adam was created in and then fell
in, in a garden one who had never ever had a drop of sweat,
began to sweat. And as he's in this garden, coming under the
burden of redeeming you and me, and redeeming not just one nation, but
every nation, every tribe, every tongue, every kindred people, delivering out
from Satan's hold, every person, he begins to feel the weight of the
curse, the curse of toil through which, only through which, by the
sweat of the brow, every person had been able to eat and partake of
sustenance. And the weight of that toil began to land on him in that
garden, and he felt the weight of the toil. Not just the weight
of our sin, not just the weight of our separation, not just the
weight of our immorality, or our perversion or our lives. He felt the
weight of our toil. And he began to sweat. And it says that
he began to sweat in a deeper and a more profuse way. And at
one point the sweat became so intense as it beat it up on his forehead
and dripped off of him, that it began to be mingled with blood.
And he's sweating now drops of blood. He's beginning to shed his blood to
redeem us out of toil. The early Church read that. The early Church
understood that. And I don't know if you knew it, but that's the
beginning of innovation, the beginning of innovation to deliver us from toil. Machines,
gears, wheels. They began to see that, and they begin to
offer prayers of Holy Spirit, show us how to be delivered out of to
will. It's not your will that we would be delivered of that we would
be under toil. It's not your will that we would sweat just to produce
Holy Spirit. Begin to show us. Do you know this morning I got
in this ridiculous machine with wheels, wheels upon wheels, and when I turned
the key, little fires started igniting, little fires. I was trying to
explain to Easton yesterday that an engine actually runs with fire. He's like,
what he turned seven today? Now there's fire exploding in all those little buckets
inside that motor, fire exploding. And then that controlled fire drove me here.
And I came twenty two minutes to church this morning with an air conditioning
machine on, and I didn't have one drop of sweat to get here.
Don't tell me God, isn't good. This would have never happened without Christ
coming and bearing up under our toil in the garden and made me move from
the garden to the cross. And something prophetic happened on the cross. Says
that they wove a crown of thorns. They wove a crown of thorns,
and they put it on him. They didn't know what they were doing,
but there was the prophetic move. There was something happening. God was using
their folly to accomplish something. See none of the nation's new royalty. None
of the nations understood royalty. None of the nations flourished in royalty. The
nations had been under struggle, war, hardship, sickness, disease, fever,
destruction, famine, poverty, manifestations of the curse we just read about
in Genesis three. He was crowned with the crown that was on the nations,
the crown of thorns and thistles. They placed it on him, that
the crown of royalty could be placed on you, that the crown of royalty
could be placed on the nations, that all of those who come to Jesus
could receive a crown of royalty. Our crown went on him that his crown
could come on us stand with me this morning. Now, I believe that
he's saying old this this morning to us because he wants us to have these
giant, generous hearts. It's the backdrop of this that Jesus declares, Matthew
six, take no thought for tomorrow. Father wants to clothe you better than
the lilies. He wants to clothe you better than Solomon in all of his
royalty. He wants to clothe you and feed you and take care of you
better than the birds of the air. He wants us to not fear.
Would you bow your heads with me this morning? Make us hord. Fear
will lie to us about our lives. Fear will make us anxious. Fear
will make us over work. Fear will make us rely on self effort.
Fear will paralyze your faith. Fear will paralyze your creativity. Fear will keep
you from generosity. Fear will keep you small and you're thinking. Fear will
limit what Father can do on your behalf. Fear is faith in the curse.
Fear will close your hand. Fear will make you anxious. Fear will
keep you from blowing your horn. Certainly, you'll not live in a perpetual
as you believe. Would you just start where you're at, just renouncing fear.
I just want to invite you to look over your own heart this morning,
wherever fear has gripped you, Wherever fear has limited you, wherever fear
has tormented you, wherever distrust of God, which is fear, Fear that
He's not good, Fear that he won't show you his goodness, Fear that
he'll withhold his hand from you, Fear that you don't qualify for his goodness,
Fear that the word can't really be true. Concerning Heaven's goodness, Heaven's
blessings, Heaven's kindness. While I'm talking, would you just renounce it right
now? Would you just say no to fear. Would you just treat it
like it's a person and confront it, and just say no, no to
fear. Every kind of fear We've renounced and resist every kind of fear.
Provision concerning treasure, concerning sustenance, concerning sufficiency, concerning the kindness of God,
concerning the mercies of God, concerning the treasuries of Heaven, concerning the
coming of Heaven on Earth, every kind of fear. This plague has held
us, confronted us, ward against us, sabotaged us. Every kind of
fear that's been spawned or propelled or strengthened or empowered against us, we renounce
right now. Just renounce it, Renounce it, Renounce it, renounce it,
renounce it. We're not called to live under fear. If you're watching
today by video, you're not called to live under fear. You're not called
to give any place to fear. You're called to live largs. You're called
to live and the grace of God. You're called to live in the goodness
of heaven. You're called to believe with your heart fully that this is what
God has for you. It has nothing to do with self effort. It
has nothing to do with stature. It has nothing to do with weight,
size, height, age, hair, follicles, glasses, no glasses,
history, sins, no sins. It has nothing to do with all of
that. God's abundance is poured out upon you. Should you believe with your
heart and confess with your mouth. He's given you the keys to the Kingdom
of Heaven, and he wants to pronounce and has pronounced that you believe over
you should you believe. Should you believe, and if you'll believe, and
if you'll agree, and if you'll confess, and if you'll partner with them,
it'll begin to happen. It'll begin to happen. And what will begin
to happen will be like Deuteronomy twenty eight. All the blessings will begin to
chase you down and overtake you. The blessings will chase you down and begin
to overtake you. And they'll be blessings beyond your self effort. They'll be
blessings beyond all of your labor, beyond your talent, beyond your skill,
beyond your looks, beyond your attraction, beyond anything about you. These blessings
will overtake you. So, Holy Spirit, we turn our heart toward your
goodness, and we say, yes, but let it be turned loose over
us. Let it be turned loose over us, that you might show us
off, that you might show us off, that you might show us off
in Jesus' name. And everybody said, and invite the prayer team to come
this morning, and as we yeah, God, the glory, to God
be the glory. It's too good to be true. It's too good to
be true, but it's true. Too good to be true, but it's
true. As we leave, if you have a prayer need, come,
There'll be a couple of people up here from the prayer team to pray with
you. You have a prayer need, if there's anything that you've left off,
anything that this has touched upon in your own life, any fear that
needs to be addressed or confronted, come receive prayer this morning as we leave
in worship, God bless you.
