WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:02.839 Hey, we want to talk about the blessings of Heaven 2 00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:07.320 on earth, and this is the time period we're living 3 00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:11.599 in over here. And you'll notice we're trying to shift 4 00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.320 our theological perspective. This is so important that we shift 5 00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:19.480 our theological perspective that we partner with Heaven, we partner 6 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:25.160 with the victories of Jesus because we don't get the 7 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.760 result of what God's done. You have to know that 8 00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:31.839 you do not get the result of what God's done. 9 00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:34.880 You get the result of what you believe God has done. 10 00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:38.960 So if God's done it and you still disbelieve, you 11 00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.560 get the result of what you disbelieve because your doubt 12 00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:48.000 will always be proven by experience. Your doubt will always 13 00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:54.600 be justified by circumstance. So in church and religion, we 14 00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:00.439 are trained in pessimism. We're trained in unbelief, were trained 15 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.200 in partial belief. What we tend to believe. Instead of 16 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:09.959 seeing that there's two eras or two kingdom eras, what 17 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.400 we tend to believe or lean into is that there's 18 00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:17.319 three eras. What we see is this is kind of 19 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.959 a mediocre kingdom we're in now. But at the end, 20 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:23.959 Jesus will come back on a white horse and rescue 21 00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:27.760 us out of this mediocre kingdom, and then he will 22 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:34.359 start the new wonderful kingdom. It's not Bible, but if 23 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.159 we believe that that's the result we'll get. If we 24 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.000 believe in an absence of victory and absence of glory, 25 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:47.719 if we believe that demons can still overtake us, then 26 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:52.200 we've given demons permission to overtake us. Because what you 27 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.760 believe is what your faith is, and demons are spirit beings, 28 00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:00.400 and spirit beings operate by faith. All spirit beings operate 29 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.040 by faith. That's why fear is actually faith. Fear is 30 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.479 not what you think it is. Fear. Fear is not 31 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.479 like a scary thing. It's scary, all right. It's scary 32 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:16.319 because it's exercising faith in the unseen realm, in the 33 00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:21.719 unclean realm. If it's pessimistic faith, so we aren't. There 34 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:26.759 aren't two kingdoms developing here. There's one, and this one continues. 35 00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:32.560 And you'll notice, you know, Scripture goes through this thing too. 36 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.439 Is that you know, Daniel sees one like the Son 37 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.560 of Man coming to the ancient of days, and he's 38 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.080 given a kingdom, and he's given sovereignty and he's giving 39 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:47.039 rain over the earth and over people, that all would 40 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:53.240 serve him, and that king is everlasting. He didn't see 41 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.960 like the Son of Man came up to the Ancient 42 00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:59.599 of days and he was given a small part of 43 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.639 the world. He was given a mediocre rule. He was 44 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:10.039 given some rule over the earth, that some of the earth. Right. No, no, no, no, no, no, 45 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.919 no no. It's very clear Isaiah nine seven through nine, 46 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:18.280 one of our favorites. Right, we will call him wonderful 47 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:23.319 counselor Almighty God, Prince of peace. And of the increase 48 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:29.479 of his government of peace there shall be no That 49 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.479 isn't what Isaiah meant. What Isaiah meant was of the 50 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:37.120 increase of his government of peace. There shall be a 51 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:42.199 partial time of his victory, maybe one hundred years or 52 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.439 two or three, until Constantine comes into the Lord or 53 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.560 brings Rome into the church in about eighty three hundred, 54 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.520 and then after that it's going to get really bad. 55 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:57.520 They'll continue to get bad until the rupture. That isn't 56 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.039 what Isaiah said. That isn't what Isaiah saw. 57 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:02.400 Right. 58 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:05.759 Even Micah two, let's go to I mean Michael four, 59 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:10.039 let's go to Micaphore micahphour is identical to Isaiah two. 60 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:14.199 Micaphore is Isaiah identical to Isaiah two. At the beginning 61 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.000 of those we don't have these scriptures. Don't worry about it. 62 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.040 We're not preaching it. We're just having fun. But it 63 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.319 says that in the last days, the mountain of the 64 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.360 House of the Lord will be established as the chief mountain, 65 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.639 and all of the nations will come to the mountain 66 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:32.600 of the House of the Lord, and they will say, 67 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:37.439 teach us the law of the Lord. Now, this is 68 00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.360 Zion being established. This is Zion being lifted up. The 69 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.639 mountain of the House of the Lord is Zion, which 70 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.879 is the house of David. Which is what Amos saw 71 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.560 in Amos chapter nine, which is what James saw in 72 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.920 Acts chapter fifteen, when the gentile nations were all coming 73 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.240 to know the Lord, because gentiles never knew the Lord before. 74 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.319 When the Gentiles were coming to know the Lord. Then 75 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.439 James says, the brother of Jesus says, this is what's happening. 76 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:05.199 He explains it to Peter because Peter led Cornelis to 77 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.639 the Lord in next chapter ten, and he's the first 78 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.480 gentile believer, and he says, this is what's happening. Oh, 79 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:14.759 my goodness, the gentile nations are being set free. That's 80 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:19.199 why Jesus said Matthew twenty eight, eighteen and nineteen. All authority, 81 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.000 not partial authority. All authority has been given to me. 82 00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:29.920 Go therefore and baptize and convert and disciple all the nations. 83 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.759 It's the first time they've been sent out to the 84 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.959 gentile nations. Remember what we've talked about, Table of Nations, 85 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:40.240 Genesis eleven, the Tower of Babel, the dividing up of 86 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.879 the nations Deuteronomy thirty two eight and nine. God gave 87 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:49.600 the nations over to unclean leadership, to principalities and powers, 88 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.800 which Paul talks about in Ephesian six. Until the Christ 89 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:59.040 would come. The gentile nations were reprobate, heathen nations, unclean 90 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.519 under demons with no hope. They were not partakers of 91 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:06.800 the promises of God whatsoever. He says in Deuteronomy thirty 92 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:10.560 two eight and nine. Only Israel have I reserved for myself. 93 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.639 So this is the first time wild things like this 94 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:19.879 are happening. Crazy things are happening, and it's because there's 95 00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:25.079 been a cataclysmic shaking of the heavens and a shaking 96 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:31.920 of the earth's systems and principalities and powers were toppled. 97 00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:38.920 When Yeshewa Jesus overcame Satan. And so this kingdom that 98 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:47.040 has started, it's a victorious kingdom. And Jesus, thank you Lord, 99 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.319 the president of the Lord is here making the lights 100 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:53.160 go crazy. Thank you Lord, even the lights shall shake. 101 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:59.959 And Jesus declared that the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus declared, 102 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:09.360 heard it to be the Kingdom of Heaven. Let it 103 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.879 soak in. Because we run around thinking it's the kingdom 104 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.160 of religion. We think. We run around thinking it's the 105 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.720 Kingdom of Take up my cross. We run around thinking 106 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.439 every kind of negative, pessimistic, hard thing about this kingdom. 107 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.800 We have all sorts of goofy ideas about what this 108 00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:30.720 kingdom is that are contrary to Heaven. You're actually waiting 109 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.560 to get to heaven when Jesus said, no, I'm actually 110 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:45.040 sending it to you while you're alive. We're looking at 111 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:51.120 earth as if it's hell on earth. Get that washed 112 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:55.720 out of you right now. Hello, somebody that is some 113 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.360 faced religion that needs to get washed out of your heart. 114 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.600 Get that washed out of your heart, because that is 115 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.519 contrary to the word of God. And if it's contrary 116 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.519 to the word of God, that's pride and rebellion. So 117 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.639 go ahead and bring that to the cross. Look at 118 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:18.480 Matthew thirteen thirty one through thirty three. Jesus talks about 119 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.319 the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, and he's not talking 120 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.199 about this period over here after the rapture. I'm going 121 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.480 to put a big R over here for rapture and 122 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:30.399 a big S for second coming. What's that our stand for? 123 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.799 S stands for? Okay, so that's happening on the last day, 124 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.440 at the last Trump. Now he's not talking about a 125 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.440 kingdom that's going to happen. Then he's talking about a 126 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:45.279 kingdom that's going to happen with his advent, with his 127 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:50.039 first advent, his first coming, not his second. He presented 128 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.639 a parable to them, saying the Kingdom of Heaven is 129 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.720 like a mustard seed which a person took and sewed 130 00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:00.519 in a field. Who was the mustard seed Joe twenty four. 131 00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:06.279 It's him. Unless I'm planted into the soil of the 132 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:10.799 earth in my death, I will abide alone. But if 133 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:14.960 I'm planted as a seed in the earth in my death, 134 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:17.960 then I will bear much fruit John twelve twenty four. 135 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.120 And so he is the mustard seed, is talking about 136 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.200 the kingdom like a mustard seed which a person took 137 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.519 and sewed in a field. We are the field, and 138 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:29.720 it's smaller than the inner seeds, but when fully grown, 139 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.600 it's larger than the garden plants and becomes the trees, 140 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.519 so that the birds of the sky come and nest 141 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.240 in its branches. So that then he goes on. Then 142 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.240 he's spoken that are parable to them, saying, the Kingdom 143 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.840 of Heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and 144 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:47.679 hid in three pecks of meal or a sota of flour, 145 00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:53.919 until all was leavened. The Kingdom of Heaven, which began 146 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.799 with him, right, Matthew sixteen twenty eight. Let's read Matthew 147 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:02.559 sixteen twenty eight. He said, I tell you some who 148 00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.679 are standing here will not taste death before they see 149 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:10.679 the son of Man coming into his kingdom. So when 150 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.159 was it starting? He was trying to tell them, in 151 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.279 eighty thirty two. This thing is starting real fast. This 152 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.279 thing is at hand, It is sharting real soon. In fact, 153 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.000 is many of you standing here, You're going to see 154 00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:24.519 my kingdom, the Kingdom of heaven on Earth. You're going 155 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.600 to see it start real soon. Why because it was 156 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:31.960 starting in AD thirty three, just one year later. So 157 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:33.639 here's the one I want to do. I want to 158 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:36.159 reason with this a little bit. I thought it would 159 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.679 be good to reason because I can tell you, and 160 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.360 I can command you with the authority of Pasture de Wayne, 161 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.679 to believe that this is the period of Heaven on Earth. 162 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.200 But if it truly is the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, 163 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:53.480 there should be some cataclysmic changes, because it says the 164 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:56.360 heavens and the Earth would be shaken. There should be 165 00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:59.440 some things that are different than this kingdom. We should 166 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:05.000 be able to identify. This period here is very different 167 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.600 than this period here. Remember I told you these are 168 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.840 the last days. These were the last days thirty three 169 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.919 to seventy, those were the last days. In eighty seventy 170 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.559 the temple was destroyed and the sacrificial system came to 171 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.000 a close. This is this brand news system where you 172 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:25.480 are the temple and Jesus is the sacrifice. He's the 173 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:29.240 sacrificial system, he's the priest, he's the lamb, he's everything. 174 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:32.360 So there should be some things that we should be 175 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:35.399 able to identify that are different, and I want to 176 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.320 just name some of them. John fifteen fifteen. I no 177 00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:45.519 longer call you servants. Everybody before was called a servant 178 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:49.080 of God, and you could be a servant of God. 179 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:54.600 But a servant of God wasn't on the inside. A 180 00:11:54.639 --> 00:12:01.200 servant of God had a rule based relationship, legalistic, rule 181 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:06.600 based relationship. No longer would we be called servants, but 182 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:09.679 we would be called friends. Because a servant does not 183 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.679 know his master's business. Oh that's interesting. You have the 184 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:15.759 privilege of knowing father's business. That sounds like a change. 185 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:21.879 No longer servants, but now friends. For everything that I've 186 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:25.480 learned from my father, I have made known to you. 187 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:29.200 This is a brand new season. And here's the season. 188 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:34.840 It's not just for the Jewish people. But the crazy 189 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:38.519 thing about everything I'm going to mention, it's for every 190 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:42.720 nation under the sun. It's for every nation, even those 191 00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:46.960 that have been heathen, those that have been sacrificing, those 192 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.080 that have been in witchcraft, those that have been in 193 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:55.799 sexual immorality and debauchery. Every gentile nation now could be 194 00:12:55.919 --> 00:13:01.440 friends with God. Two. Let's talk about number two. So 195 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:04.919 here we got friends. Everybody say friends. You can be 196 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.279 a friend of God. Does that sound like a new season. 197 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:10.320 That sounds like a new season to me. You can 198 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.759 be a friend of God. Number two, He's delivered us 199 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.879 into the Kingdom of light, out of darkness, into the 200 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:21.200 Kingdom of light. Now, when he talks about this, we 201 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.440 ought to see that this is a massive change. Because 202 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.919 when he writes this one and we read it, we 203 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:28.720 love it. We've read it before. But when he writes 204 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:30.600 this one, you have to realize he's writing it to 205 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:36.840 the Colassians. The Colossians are gentiles. They've been under principalities 206 00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:41.200 and powers. They've been under rulers of wickedness. The Colossian 207 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.159 people were heathen people. The Colaussian people knew nothing of 208 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.279 the promises of God. The Colausian people were as far 209 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.720 from God as you could possibly get. But here's what 210 00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:57.360 he says. For he rescued us from the domain of 211 00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:02.240 darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 212 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:06.679 in whom we have redemption and the forgiveness of sins. 213 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:11.720 Does that sound like a change brought out of darkness? 214 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:15.519 Out of darkness? Come on, somebody, you have to see 215 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:19.679 how crazy this is. Because I could go through we 216 00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:22.240 don't have time today, but I could go through twenty 217 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:27.799 five of these things that tell us there's a massive change, 218 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:33.480 that something dynamic happened. We're no longer in this time period. 219 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.639 We're in this one. And this is not an inferior 220 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:41.879 time period. This is not a partial period of victory. 221 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:46.080 This is a period of supreme victory and overcoming grace. 222 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:52.879 And what's happening is with every successive generation, the Lord 223 00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:59.679 is subduing the enemies of righteousness, putting them under our feet, 224 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:04.240 and the Church, the Ecclesia, the called out, the body 225 00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:09.960 of Christ is growing in a greater and a greater glory. 226 00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:12.919 Number three, Number three, He's made us to be a 227 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.879 new creation. Do you ever hear that kind of talk 228 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:19.120 in the former period of time? You ever hear that 229 00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:28.080 kind of talk under Moses two Corinthians five seventeen, You're like, 230 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:32.720 what do we do with this passor what's he waiting for? Therefore, 231 00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:35.840 if anyone is in Christ, anyone is in the Messiah, 232 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:38.679 remember Christ is not his last name. If anyone is 233 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:42.000 in the Messiah, if anyone is in the Anointed One, 234 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:46.559 if anyone has hidden their life in Him through faith, 235 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.360 then the new creation has come. The New Creation has come. 236 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.320 That's what we read about in Isaiah sixty five seventeen 237 00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.279 through twenty five last week. The new Creation speaks of 238 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.159 a new heaven and a new Earth. The New Creation 239 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:08.240 speaks of this new period of time. We're not waiting 240 00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:11.919 for the rapture to come into this new time. We're 241 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.240 in this new time now. And if we believe upon 242 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.720 the Messiah, if we believe in the Anointed One, we've 243 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:25.039 actually entered into new creation living now. The Bible says 244 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:30.200 you've already even passed from death to life now now, now, 245 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:31.840 part of that is because of the change that has 246 00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.279 taken place. Let's go over here to the New Creation. 247 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:38.320 But part of why Jesus says you've already been a 248 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:43.120 partaker of the First Resurrection. This is the Book of Revelation. 249 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:46.399 You've already been a partaker of the First Resurrection because 250 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.600 death can't hold you. Now, death isn't just the decay 251 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:54.240 of your body. Death isn't just what happens to your body. 252 00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:58.759 Death is actually coming under the dominion of Satan, under 253 00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:01.360 the dominion of the curse, under the dominion of Satan. 254 00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:05.559 So when we read that death has been canceled death 255 00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:09.680 has been overcome. First Corinthians fifteen fifty five, Death, where 256 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:13.119 is your stay? When we read that, we're like, hold it, 257 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:15.119 I'm still going to die. Yeah, But there's no fear 258 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:19.000 in death because you've already passed from death to life, 259 00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:23.240 and Satan is no longer the lord over you, or 260 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:26.920 over your physical body or over your soul. So death 261 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:31.079 is not just the losing of your earth suit. Death 262 00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:36.599 is coming under the dominion of Satan, of which Jesus overcame. 263 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:40.880 That when he died and went into Hell, went into Sheil, 264 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:46.039 and he rescued the righteous out of Sheil. Because from 265 00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:49.720 the time of Adam and Adam's fall until the Christ, 266 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.160 all the dead were under the control of Satan, even 267 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:59.759 the righteous dead, even the righteous dead, we're under the 268 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:05.960 your fiction of Satan. So Ephesians four, I'm getting ahead 269 00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:13.279 of myself. Ephesians four eight through ten says that he 270 00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:18.759 went into Shield and he brought those who were held 271 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:24.160 captive out of captivity, and he took them with him 272 00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:27.440 in his train in the glory. So the moment you're 273 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:31.000 absent from your body, you're immediately present with the Lord. 274 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:37.599 That never happened before, that never happened before in all 275 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.640 of history, all the way back to first atom, that 276 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:45.119 never happened before. This is a new season. Heaven has 277 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.200 been rearranged, Earth has been rearranged, the spirit realm has 278 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:58.880 been rearranged. It's amazing. What am I supposed to call 279 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:00.640 that one? I don't know that. It's way back there 280 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:02.880 in number eight or something. Okay, we'll skip it. We'll 281 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.400 come back to him. Okay. So he's made us to 282 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:12.000 be a new creation Blessing number four. He's bestowed on 283 00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:15.960 us the glory of the Godhead. He's bestowed on us. 284 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.039 He's not going to bestow on us the glory of 285 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:25.200 the Godhead. Listen, Religion always has something better for you tomorrow. 286 00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:30.119 I guarantee there is something better for you tomorrow. Because 287 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.200 we go from glory to glory. We go from faith 288 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:34.079 to faith. What does it mean to go from faith 289 00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:37.079 to faith? That means Tomorrow's word will be a good 290 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:39.240 word to sustain you and to build you up, to 291 00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:42.559 equip you and ready you in Christ. That's good. We 292 00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:44.440 go from faith to faith, and we go from glory 293 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:46.680 to glory. How do we go from glory? We partake 294 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:49.519 of the word of faith, and so that brings us 295 00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:52.359 into higher levels of glory. But what I'm talking about 296 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:57.640 is religion always wants to disbelieve today's glory and to 297 00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:02.799 put it off to tomorrow, always talking about tomorrow, the 298 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:06.400 days to come, Revival's coming. Well, there's a good thinking, 299 00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:09.720 well glory, Well it's gonna be. Well, hang on now, 300 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:15.799 religion is always putting off to tomorrow the blessing of today. 301 00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:19.559 This is a CEU already living in heaven on earth. 302 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:23.319 But religion has robbed you from it, stole it from you, 303 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:26.160 robbed it out of your gut, your gizzard, and your 304 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.359 your spiritual bank account. And you're moping around like like 305 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:33.440 a big old mover. We got the e or spirit 306 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:39.920 all over the church. Well, I don't know, tigger. I 307 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.839 don't know, Tigger. I don't know what's gonna be a 308 00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:46.359 good day. I'm watching the weather. Tigger. Well, I might, 309 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:49.960 I might prospering. I'm not no, I don't know. I 310 00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:52.519 might smile and I'm not no, I'm not sure. I'm 311 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.720 checking my mood, checking my mood. Tigger. Calm down, tigger. 312 00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.559 You must have got born again last week. Tigger. That'll 313 00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:04.240 you'll lose that pretty soon. Now, you'll lose that right away. 314 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:08.960 That's just fresh born again joy y'all. Just you'll calm 315 00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:11.839 down in a month or two now, just living for 316 00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:17.799 the Lord and all this cracked up to be. That's 317 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:21.000 the way we at church. But listen, listen, listen, listen 318 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:22.400 to what the Word of God says, because the word 319 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:24.680 of God will shed a lot of light on your opinions. 320 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:29.319 John seventeen twenty two. I have given them the glory 321 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:32.759 that you gave me. I have given them. I have 322 00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:35.480 given them the glory that you gave me, that they 323 00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:37.440 may be one as we are one, I in them 324 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:39.759 and you and me, that we may be brought together 325 00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:45.680 in complete unity. That the world will know you sent me, 326 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:47.880 That the world will know you sent me, that the world. 327 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:51.759 Glory is part of how the world will know. No 328 00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:57.400 wonder they don't know. Half the time we got no glory. 329 00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:00.000 We're looking at the news for you know, looking at 330 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.759 the news, well, we're looking at the weather, well, we're 331 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.240 looking at the bombs, well, we're looking at the stock market. Well. 332 00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:10.480 We're walking by circumstances instead of by the word of God, 333 00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:14.160 instead of by faith. Believers are supposed to walk by 334 00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:20.000 faith and not by circumstances. We don't set our attitude 335 00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:27.880 after circumstance. I love somebody. He already gave us glory, 336 00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:32.759 and this way he's making us the envy of the world. 337 00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:36.640 He's trying to raise up a generation that actually believe him, 338 00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:38.480 because if we don't believe him, we can't partake and 339 00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:40.519 what he gave us. But if we'll start believing him, 340 00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:42.839 if there will be a generation to start believing and 341 00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:45.240 what he gave us, then that generation will start seeing 342 00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:47.160 the fruit of what he gave us. And then that 343 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:50.160 generation will start reflecting the glory of God. Arise and shine, 344 00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:53.960 for thy glory has come. The glory of the Lord 345 00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:56.839 has risen upon you. That's Isaiah sixty. That's an old 346 00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.839 scripture that most folk are still like. I don't know. 347 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:05.359 I'd rather have the glory of a coffee. How about 348 00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:10.359 a classic car, how about a pretty girl? How about 349 00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:12.359 a how about a steak that's a little pink on 350 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:15.519 the inside. Come on, what's wrong with us? We're not 351 00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:20.640 residing in the majestic, the beautiful, the bliss that the 352 00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:24.039 pleasure of his glory at his right hand. There are 353 00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:29.240 pleasures forevermore. Oh, there's so much more. For us. Okay, 354 00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:36.200 so uh, I'm almost done glory. Everybody said glory. Say 355 00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:40.160 I have glory. Now say I'm a partaker of glory. 356 00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:42.519 Now stand with me. I got to move into my 357 00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:47.599 first closing. Say it again, I'm a partaker of the 358 00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:53.440 fullness of his glory. Now he overshadows me with his glory. 359 00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:59.960 Come on, standing with me. First closing. Blessing number five. 360 00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.880 Blessing number five. These are things that in this entire era, 361 00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:10.720 they never partook up. This kind of thing. Listen, this 362 00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:14.720 is the first, the Lord's first sermon. Blessing number five, 363 00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:19.880 anointedness with the oil of Joy. Yes, your teeth should 364 00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:25.279 show more often. This is the Lord's first sermon. When 365 00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:29.000 he preached his first sermon after his water baptism, he said, 366 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:32.200 hand me the scroll of Isaiah. And they handed him 367 00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:35.400 the scroll, and he turned to chapter sixty one, and 368 00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:37.319 then he quotes this, and then he says, at the 369 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:39.839 end of quoting it, I mean he reads it. At 370 00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:43.000 the end of reading it, he said, today this scripture 371 00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:47.759 is fulfilled in your hearing. Isaiah sixty one. I want 372 00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:49.880 to read it to you because it will shed a 373 00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:52.920 lot of light on our commentaries. Right the sphere of 374 00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:54.880 the sovereign Lord is upon me, because the Lord has 375 00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:57.640 anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He 376 00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:00.480 has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, proclaim 377 00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:05.359 freedom to captives, released from darkness, for prisoners, to proclaim 378 00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:08.599 the year of the Lord's favor today, of vengeance of 379 00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:12.400 our God. Now, you've got to realize, as he's shouting 380 00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:15.319 it over the nations, he's not just shouting this over 381 00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.759 the Israeli people. This is not over the circumcised only, 382 00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:22.680 Oh no, over the uncircumcised, over all the nations. Now 383 00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:27.000 it goes on and to comfort those who mourn in 384 00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:29.799 every nation. Why, because it's a new day, it's a 385 00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:32.559 new season. He's announcing the beginning of a new day, 386 00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:35.759 a new season, and provide for those who grieve in Zion, 387 00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:40.319 those who come to Zion Mount Zion, the house God's 388 00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:46.359 establishing that doesn't have the blood of animals, but has 389 00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:50.640 the praise of sons and daughters who come with the 390 00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:54.599 sacrifice of the fruit of their lips. That's what Zion is. 391 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:58.640 Zion is where we come to adore the Lord with 392 00:25:58.759 --> 00:26:02.200 the fruit of our lips. That's the sacrifice, and we 393 00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:05.720 come and it says, to bestow on them a crown 394 00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:11.599 of beauty instead of ashes. If you approached God here, 395 00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.119 you had to come with ashes. You had to come 396 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.240 in the humility of ashes. When you had its struggle, 397 00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:21.960 you would clothe yourself with sycloth and ashes. But he said, 398 00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:24.279 I'm going to be stowing you something different. I'm going 399 00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:26.880 to be stowing you a crown of beauty instead of ashes, 400 00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:32.640 the oil of joy instead of mourning. When does the 401 00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:36.200
