4

<v Speaker 1>kids like that. So good, so good part of them,

5
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 1>so good, so fun. I want to read a little

6
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 1>bit about John Schaffter, want to you a little bit

7
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:39.479
<v Speaker 1>out of Isaiah Long, and then we'll close this morning.

8
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Don jap John, the man sent from God whose name

9
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.560
<v Speaker 1>is Jean. He came as a witness testify concerning that light,

10
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.880
<v Speaker 1>so that through him all might leave. He himself was

11
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>not the light. He came only as a witness to

12
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the light, the night that gives light. Everyone was coming

13
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>into the world. He was in the world. And though

14
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the world's made through him, the world did not recognim.

15
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>He can't to that which was his own. His own

16
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.079
<v Speaker 1>did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him,

17
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.719
<v Speaker 1>to those who believe in his name, he gave the

18
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 1>right to become children of God, sons and God, not sleves,

19
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>but sons and daughters, children of God. Children born not

20
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.799
<v Speaker 1>of natural descent, nor human decision, or of a husband's will,

21
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.359
<v Speaker 1>but born of God. Churchive over your heart to receive Jesus,

22
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 1>and in doing so you've received the light of all men.

23
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>In doing so you've received not slavery, not slavery tod

24
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>or rules, or you've received sonship. You really the end

25
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 1>it comes to live within you. I'm born in experience,

26
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>born not of the will of man, born of God.

27
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>This is experience, it's rebirth. It's what we call being

28
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>again because when we're born naturally born, separated from God,

29
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.599
<v Speaker 1>and we're called to be born again, that is to

30
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>get decision. Nobody forces on you. It's kind of interesting

31
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>that we're born in unrighteousness, but we can choose be

32
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 1>born again. Isn't it interesting that we you know, righteousness

33
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 1>wasn't forced on you. Come on, think about that. Righteousness

34
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 1>doesn't forced on you. So you can decide to be

35
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>born again. You can decide to be born of God,

36
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.919
<v Speaker 1>born from above, born of the spirit. This is what

37
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 1>God has givens and sin his son. And it's good news, goodness.

38
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>You know the word all means goodness. No bro in church.

39
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:50.360
<v Speaker 1>For years I didn't know that, and maybe I needed

40
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.199
<v Speaker 1>my head again. But some moason it felt me there

41
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 1>was such a bad news but the gospel actually means

42
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>good news, and the good news of the gospel was

43
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.479
<v Speaker 1>first player by Isaiah in chapter sixty one. I want

44
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>to read a little bit of it to you. This

45
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 1>is the good news of gospel of the king godbel

46
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>of the Kingdom. So when we think about what does

47
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.039
<v Speaker 1>the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven look like, it's

48
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven. And it's an

49
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 1>increasing where in our heart and lives and in the earth.

50
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 1>And I love that we don't have to be I

51
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 1>love that the gospel being good news delivers is out

52
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>of peasant Isn't that good? Now? Isaiah? That on purpose

53
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>because so many churches still are under the influence of hesimism,

54
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.639
<v Speaker 1>so many Christians are still under the influence of pessimism.

55
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.159
<v Speaker 1>And one of the reasons why is because there's a

56
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>doctrine out there that says that the increase of the

57
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Kingdom of Heaven on earth doesn't actually happen until after

58
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>He comes the second time. The opponents all over in

59
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Christianity telling you, telling uh that the Kingdom of Heaven

60
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>will start we out the second time, not per time,

61
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 1>but the second time becn some time that's when the

62
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Kingdom of Heaven on earth will in Greece. But that

63
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.039
<v Speaker 1>isn't what Isaiah said in chapter nine. We read it

64
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 1>earlier today. This isn't what Jesus said. That isn't really

65
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 1>what the words said. Now is the time for the

66
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 1>Kingdom of heaven to a trice. Now the time for

67
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 1>the Kingdom of Heaven to a tries in our hearts

68
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>and in to intries in the earth. And the very

69
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>p' setting here in this environment day proves that it's

70
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.079
<v Speaker 1>already been happening for two thousand years and it's a

71
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:38.519
<v Speaker 1>continued heaven. So I love that Isaiah chapter nine starts

72
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.160
<v Speaker 1>by saying, no more gloom and no more doom. Isn't

73
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 1>that good? Wow? Because a child is born, unto us,

74
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 1>no more gloom. Because a child is born, that's when

75
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the kingdom of on earth had it's began it. And

76
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.920
<v Speaker 1>here's what he declared concern himself. This is idea Isaiah

77
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>chapter sixty one. It's the messianics. It's the passage about

78
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the Mossaiah coming. It's one of those wonderful passages as

79
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>to what Jesus stood up and read as the German

80
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Luke chapter four. Matthew. Chapter four records he was in

81
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>chapter three of both of those books. We're told about

82
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 1>he baptized in water, but chapter four about his first

83
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.279
<v Speaker 1>sur and after he was baptized and water, the Holy

84
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Spirit descended upon him a dove. And then he was

85
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.759
<v Speaker 1>led into the wilderness and for pretty days faceted, and

86
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>at the end of that period was tested by the enemy,

87
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.439
<v Speaker 1>and he prayled right out of that he his for sermon,

88
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.639
<v Speaker 1>and he walked into the Senegal again. He asked a

89
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>scroll of Isaiah. They handed him the school and he

90
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 1>turned Isaiah sixty one. Now it didn't have numbers in

91
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.319
<v Speaker 1>those days, but he turned to now is numbered as

92
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.439
<v Speaker 1>sixty one. And hear what he said. The spirit of

93
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:53.360
<v Speaker 1>the Solar Lord is opony, because the Lord has anointed

94
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>me to proclaim good news to the poor. It wasn't

95
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:00.959
<v Speaker 1>just poor and spirit. It wasn't just more at heart.

96
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't just those that he's claiming liberty to or

97
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.639
<v Speaker 1>good news who he was proclaiming good news to the boar.

98
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Because he had come shaped every system poverty, systems that

99
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:21.279
<v Speaker 1>were cast system, systems that help people in poverty. He

100
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.879
<v Speaker 1>can't break every one of them. Down and to bring

101
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.879
<v Speaker 1>liberty for the lossing of God over every person. You know,

102
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.199
<v Speaker 1>the gender nations didn't even have. It was to prosper

103
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 1>under the blessings God. Only Israel knew what it was

104
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:37.160
<v Speaker 1>to prosper the blessings of God. What he came proclaiming

105
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>was for every person. He goes on, he says he

106
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 1>has me to bind up the broken hearted. He broken

107
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>hearted people here. We've all been broken heart We've all

108
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:59.639
<v Speaker 1>experienced heartbreak. We've all experienced brokenness of a relationship, of jury,

109
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.360
<v Speaker 1>of abuse, of harm, no matter what the harm is.

110
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:09.519
<v Speaker 1>Jesus has come to bund up that wound with the

111
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:14.680
<v Speaker 1>ointment of His anointance of that brikanness, to bring healing.

112
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:19.959
<v Speaker 1>And he has set me to proclaim freedom for the captives. Well,

113
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:22.439
<v Speaker 1>that's all of us. We've all been had captive by something.

114
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>It's good news. They longer have to be captive, to

115
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:30.959
<v Speaker 1>fear the rejection to a circumstance it made a victim.

116
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>We don't have beheld captive to any vice or any

117
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:38.319
<v Speaker 1>negative thought, or any addition. He has come to declare

118
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:44.160
<v Speaker 1>freedom to every captive and release from markness, all who

119
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:48.279
<v Speaker 1>are released from markness. For the prisoners. We come out

120
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>of arness, We come out of the prison of darkness

121
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.279
<v Speaker 1>into the light of His lorry. And then he goes

122
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.319
<v Speaker 1>on to proclaim the air of Lord's favor. That's got

123
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to be my favorites or eritict proclaimed the Lord the

124
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>year Lord's favor is. It's a Jewish terminology that goes

125
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>all the back to the Torah first books, to the Bible.

126
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 1>He was actually bring reference to the jubilee the fiftieth year.

127
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.600
<v Speaker 1>If he recountered the seven years of seven and then

128
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 1>it's forty nine, so then on fiftieth year they celebrate

129
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:22.519
<v Speaker 1>the Julie, and the Julie is the year of the

130
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Lord of Earth. And in the year of Jubilee, all

131
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:30.279
<v Speaker 1>that surfing them, everything is restored to every man. Every

132
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:34.200
<v Speaker 1>person receives reetoration. And he was announce not just a

133
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:38.440
<v Speaker 1>day of jubilee, but he was announcing a perpetually over

134
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:42.519
<v Speaker 1>mancome that good news, the good news of Gospel of

135
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Heaven is the good news of Heaven on earth. And

136
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.879
<v Speaker 1>it's the year of God's favor this year and next

137
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>year and the next year. And no one can take

138
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the favor of God from you. He announced the perpetual Julie,

139
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:02.919
<v Speaker 1>that we could live in it and experience it. Isn't

140
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.799
<v Speaker 1>that amazing? He closed the passage before he rolled a roll,

141
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.559
<v Speaker 1>and he says to proclaim the day of vengeance of

142
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.519
<v Speaker 1>our God had come from those who mourn. He came

143
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.600
<v Speaker 1>to declare the vengeance of our God of our armies,

144
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.799
<v Speaker 1>even though we had been our partners. Is that amazing?

145
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:30.440
<v Speaker 1>If you partnered with fear, that was really an enemy

146
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>wanted to take you down. If you partnered with poverd

147
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:34.879
<v Speaker 1>that was an enemy. It wanted to take you down.

148
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.120
<v Speaker 1>If you partnered with depression, that was an enemy that

149
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:40.200
<v Speaker 1>wanted to take you down. If you've partnered with any

150
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:42.519
<v Speaker 1>addiction that you're ashamed of, that was an enemy that

151
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:48.080
<v Speaker 1>wanted to take you down. Jesus put those under your feet.

152
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:55.159
<v Speaker 1>Jesus came to be your vengeance against those enemies. Jesus

153
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:57.240
<v Speaker 1>came to do something that we were strong enough to

154
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 1>do ourselves. And that's goodness. I wasn't wrong enough to

155
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.480
<v Speaker 1>overcome the enemies. But He's done it on my behalf,

156
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:08.720
<v Speaker 1>and I ended his victory. I enter into him, I

157
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.840
<v Speaker 1>enter into his victory over my enemies, and I acknowledge

158
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:14.519
<v Speaker 1>him and how I'm partnering with him instead of partnering

159
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:19.600
<v Speaker 1>with my enemies. Doesn't send the good news. Wow, what

160
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:21.279
<v Speaker 1>was you saying with me this morning? I want to

161
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:29.320
<v Speaker 1>invite you this morning as we close. I want to

162
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:39.519
<v Speaker 1>invite you this morning to close, to welcome the leader

163
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 1>of the good news. Live a little bit beer in

164
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:48.399
<v Speaker 1>your heart. I zen nine. The increase of his government

165
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.879
<v Speaker 1>of peace, there will be no end. Everyone in this room,

166
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>in being me, everyone could open our hearse up a

167
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:00.759
<v Speaker 1>little bit bigger this season. Everyone has combow another need season.

168
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Every one of us could find a door to a

169
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>room that's been locked and kept him out of it,

170
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:12.279
<v Speaker 1>and we could open that this season, and we could

171
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:15.519
<v Speaker 1>welcome not his judgment. He's not coming to judge, not

172
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:21.200
<v Speaker 1>his condemnation. He's not coming condned. He's coming with shilloon.

173
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:25.200
<v Speaker 1>He's coming with his hit from above. He's coming with

174
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:32.759
<v Speaker 1>coaching that lead us beside seal Waters coaching. It will

175
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:36.759
<v Speaker 1>cause us to have no coaching that will restore us all.

176
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:42.759
<v Speaker 1>It's him. He's the master shepherd. He came in that stable,

177
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:47.120
<v Speaker 1>but then he's the king of our hearts. I'm invited

178
00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>you and pray with me right now. Father, we welcome
