Speaker 1: Father, we just thank you for your word today. Thank
Speaker 1: you for the richness of Holy Spirit in our midst.
Speaker 1: Thank you for opening the eyes of our understanding. Thank
Speaker 1: you for leading us, thank you for connecting us with
Speaker 1: an amazing family. We rejoice over the inheritance we have
Speaker 1: in one another and the power that's working in our midst.
Speaker 1: We give you the praise for it in Jesus name.
Speaker 1: And everybody said, Amen, Amen, Amen, you may be yeah,
Speaker 1: you may be seated. You weren't standing, which you may
Speaker 1: be seated anyway, all right, Praise the Lord. I want
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about royalty versus religion, and
Speaker 1: so it's kind of along the theme of somewhat springing out.
Speaker 1: I think of the four weeks that we had on
Speaker 1: the New Creation, because we really have become a new creation.
Speaker 1: We are new creation beings. And that passage for the
Speaker 1: new creation is tewod Corinthians five, sixteen and seventeen, and
Speaker 1: it means when it's the Greek word for the word
Speaker 1: new means another kind. We've become another kind. It's not
Speaker 1: like it's not like you have an old Nike tennis
Speaker 1: shoe and then you get a newer Nike tennis shoe
Speaker 1: of the same. So have you heard of the Australian tennishoe?
Speaker 1: The Australian tennishoe? What's the brand? No, somebody helped me. Huh,
Speaker 1: he'll come to me. You have to buy them online. Hokahs, hokahs,
Speaker 1: hookahs hokus. Okay, if you get a hookah? Anybody have
Speaker 1: a hookah? It sounds like something you smoke. I was
Speaker 1: afraid of that brand because I didn't know if my
Speaker 1: feet would get high while I walked. But if you
Speaker 1: get the they have certain models, you know. And if
Speaker 1: you get a certain model and it feels good, right,
Speaker 1: you kind of want to get when it wears out,
Speaker 1: you want to get Okay, Well, the new creation isn't
Speaker 1: like a new model, a new of the same version, right.
Speaker 1: So the new creation in second grintheens five seventeen that
Speaker 1: were new means of a different kind, of a new kind.
Speaker 1: It's more than just like I get a second chance
Speaker 1: to do it right, you know, I hope I can
Speaker 1: really get at this time. I hope I can really perform. No,
Speaker 1: you literally become a new person, right, You've be given
Speaker 1: a new person. And I think what is so hard?
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of hard to hang on to
Speaker 1: because I think everything is against this. What's hard to
Speaker 1: hang on to is that you become royalty. You become royalty.
Speaker 1: You've become royalty Revelation one six A kingdom of priests
Speaker 1: or kings and priests. Unto our God right he is
Speaker 1: the king of kings, and he is the Lord of lords.
Speaker 1: It's hard to hang on the royalty. You know, Joel,
Speaker 1: she's got she's got Mercedes Benz Taste buds. And sometimes
Speaker 1: I tell her, but we have we have, you know,
Speaker 1: we have Volkswagen wallet with Mercedes Benz Taste buds. It's like, Honey,
Speaker 1: calm down, Oh no, I know you can do it
Speaker 1: all right, right, right. So when it comes to you know,
Speaker 1: our neighbors, our neighbors on the lake, they have this
Speaker 1: giant inflatable pad thing right, and all the women get
Speaker 1: on it and whatever, and they get out there and
Speaker 1: they frat andize, and you know, the kids jump on
Speaker 1: her or whatever. And I'm sure they spent thirty nine
Speaker 1: ninety five on that thing. But it's big, it's huge.
Speaker 1: I think it's sufficient, Yepe, not for missus Wolf. She
Speaker 1: wants to thirteen ninety five thirteen hundred and ninety five floaty, right,
Speaker 1: so there's no wrestling, you know, if we do wrestle
Speaker 1: with thumb rustle, and she always wins, and so I
Speaker 1: just know, okay, all right. So so I found it
Speaker 1: on sale. We bought the thirteen hundred and ninety five
Speaker 1: floating got a little sale price. And it's kind of
Speaker 1: a big hexagon thing. It's called the Mission Hecks. It's
Speaker 1: a big hexagon thing, and it's got kind of a
Speaker 1: little trampoline thing in the middle, right, So the ladies
Speaker 1: love to get out on it, and there, you know,
Speaker 1: and the kids get out in the middle of the
Speaker 1: little trampoline thing and they're in the water, right, and
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my neighbors thirty nine ninety five, I'm
Speaker 1: over here. So we barely get the thing in the water.
Speaker 1: We're like in the water three days and I look
Speaker 1: out there and it's half flat, got a big hole
Speaker 1: in it. So we're like, how do you find those hole?
Speaker 1: How do you even find a hole like that? Right,
Speaker 1: And so you know, we're looking all over, we can't
Speaker 1: find it. We turned upside down we find it. So
Speaker 1: where the trampoline comes in to the net and it's
Speaker 1: kind of woven in, a stick from somebody else's dock,
Speaker 1: A little piece of pressure treated, some stick, some scrap,
Speaker 1: some piece of junk, some piece of garbage from somebody
Speaker 1: else had floated into my floating and somehow got in
Speaker 1: between the trampoline and the floaty thing in a barber right,
Speaker 1: and it had a screw in it where they were
Speaker 1: remodeling their deck. It had a little screw and you know,
Speaker 1: had a deck screw in it. And they had cut
Speaker 1: the screw off with like some kind of a you
Speaker 1: know thing, and it made a really sharp barbed and
Speaker 1: that thing was poking a hole in my floating, and
Speaker 1: that floating was suddenly worthless. Thirteen ninety five nothing ninety
Speaker 1: five worthless. But its me. It makes me think about
Speaker 1: us in our royalty. It makes us me think about
Speaker 1: us who are called the royalty. We are, we're made royalty.
Speaker 1: We are we are literally the kings of the earth,
Speaker 1: the kings and the priests of the earth. We literally
Speaker 1: we abide in royalty. We're seated in royalty at the
Speaker 1: right hand of Papa. Are you hearing me? But royalty
Speaker 1: wants to leak out of us. Somebody else's junk comes
Speaker 1: over and bumps into us. Right, stuff pokes us, and
Speaker 1: next thing you know, we've developed a leak. And almost
Speaker 1: every day, I'm telling you this is important, Almost every
Speaker 1: day you have to And this sounds this sounds a
Speaker 1: little sac religious maybe, but I don't know, but it
Speaker 1: seems every day you have to fight to retain your royalty.
Speaker 1: And I don't mean like a fight, like a fight
Speaker 1: of works. I don't mean that kind of a fight.
Speaker 1: I mean just a fight over your own heart and
Speaker 1: mind that you do not let your own failures, your
Speaker 1: own faults, somebody else's faults, some other issue, some chunk
Speaker 1: of pressure, treat with a bar about it, poke you
Speaker 1: and get you out of your royalty. When that thing
Speaker 1: is inflated appropriately, it is extremely worthwhile and you can
Speaker 1: rely on it and it provides a lot of enjoyment.
Speaker 1: But all you have to do is pull ten pounds
Speaker 1: of air pressure out of that thing. Five pounds of
Speaker 1: air pressure out of that thing, and immediately it's worthless
Speaker 1: and nobody can rely on it, and nobody wants anything
Speaker 1: to do with it. The structure didn't change. It still
Speaker 1: is what it was. This is the way with us. Listen, listen, listen.
Speaker 1: The enemy is wanting to attack your royalty every day
Speaker 1: to bring you off of the throne where you are
Speaker 1: now coceded with Christ ruling and reigning in life, expecting
Speaker 1: and receiving fully the blessings of God, without works whatsoever.
Speaker 1: The enemy wants to pull you off of that so
Speaker 1: bad and if he can just poke, if he can
Speaker 1: just get five pounds of the pressure out of you,
Speaker 1: it doesn't take a lot to make you worthless. It
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're not a new creation anymore. It doesn't
Speaker 1: mean you've changed in your nature. It doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: you changed in your structure. It doesn't mean you're no
Speaker 1: longer coceded. You just have disconnected your faith to who
Speaker 1: you are. You've disconnected your heart to who you are.
Speaker 1: You've disconnected your attitude from who He's made you to be.
Speaker 1: And if you disconnect your heart, your faith, and your
Speaker 1: attitude from who He's made you to be, it doesn't
Speaker 1: make you less than who he made you to be.
Speaker 1: It just positions you to not partake of who he
Speaker 1: made you to be, and that makes you worthless. So
Speaker 1: then you're feeling worthless. But it isn't him who made
Speaker 1: you worthless. You just allowed some something to poke you.
Speaker 1: You allowed something to pull out of you, your royal identity,
Speaker 1: your faith in who he made you to be. You
Speaker 1: just allowed something to draw down all that He put
Speaker 1: in you to make you work. While that wasn't your choice,
Speaker 1: I mean his choice that was that was your choice. Wow,
Speaker 1: the wilderness is a The wilderness is a really good
Speaker 1: you know, the wilderness was meant to be a really
Speaker 1: good picture of the new creation coming out of the
Speaker 1: old and going into the new. And you know, the
Speaker 1: wilderness period, the wilderness. This is Deuteronomy. I thought i'd
Speaker 1: look it up, Uh, just for fond too. I didn't
Speaker 1: do that for service, but let's do that. This is
Speaker 1: Deuteronomy eight. For the Lord, your God is bringing you
Speaker 1: into a good land. Everybody say good land, A land
Speaker 1: of brooks of water, of fountains and springs. Now, if
Speaker 1: you've been, if you've been in a wilderness for a while,
Speaker 1: this sounds good. This sounds really good. Of fountains and
Speaker 1: springs flowing for work in valleys and hills. That sounds
Speaker 1: better than a desert. A land of wheat and a
Speaker 1: barley of vines and fig trees of pomegranates, a land
Speaker 1: of olive, oil and honey. A land where you will
Speaker 1: eat food without scarcity, in which you will lack, you
Speaker 1: will not lack anything. A land whose stones are ironed,
Speaker 1: and out of whose hills you can dig copper. And
Speaker 1: when you have eaten and are satisfied, you shall bless
Speaker 1: the Lord your God for the good land he has
Speaker 1: given you. Now that's just one little passage in Deuteronomy eight.
Speaker 1: One little passage in Deuteronomy eight of some of what
Speaker 1: the promised land would look like. Right, So there's further references.
Speaker 1: It's called the land of milk and honey is called
Speaker 1: and it's a land where there would be every kind
Speaker 1: of copper and brass and bronze and gold. And I mean,
Speaker 1: just the descriptions are. And then you got the wilderness. Right,
Speaker 1: This is we have. It's supposed to be a picture.
Speaker 1: The whole thing, the whole story was a metaphoric picture
Speaker 1: of your life before Christ and your life after Christ.
Speaker 1: It's not a metaphoric picture of heaven. It's a metaphoric
Speaker 1: picture of heaven on earth. How many of us have
Speaker 1: thought or been told that's a metaphoric picture of heaven,
Speaker 1: But it's not. It's a metaphoric picture of Heaven on Earth.
Speaker 1: And listen, listen. Moses didn't die on Mount Nebo because
Speaker 1: he was a bad dude, as all of theology will
Speaker 1: tell you, Moses died on Mount Nebo because the law
Speaker 1: can never take you in to your promise. The law
Speaker 1: cannot take you into your promise. The law shows you
Speaker 1: that you need the Christ. The law is a tutor,
Speaker 1: a schoolmaster, leading you. Because the law will always accuse you,
Speaker 1: and it will always convict you, and it will always
Speaker 1: show you what's wrong. And it doesn't matter if you're
Speaker 1: Jew or gentile. If you're Jew, you have the six
Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen, you have the decalog, you have the
Speaker 1: Ten Commandments. If you're Jew, you know the law. But
Speaker 1: if you're gentile, then Romans one says you have the
Speaker 1: Law of God inwardly in your conscience, convicting you of
Speaker 1: right and wrong. And the enemy will always use the
Speaker 1: law to keep you defeated and to keep you outside
Speaker 1: of your royalty, and to keep you humbly accepting the wormy, cruddy,
Speaker 1: lousy louse. You are the number one shunk of pressure
Speaker 1: treated lumber with a screw in it. To the believer
Speaker 1: that wants to poke a hole in your inflatable is
Speaker 1: your own heart and mind partnering with the law to
Speaker 1: prove to you that you are worthless, that you don't
Speaker 1: measure up, that you don't perform well enough, you don't
Speaker 1: pray enough, you don't fast enough, you don't give enough,
Speaker 1: you don't serve enough, you're not humble enough. The enemy
Speaker 1: will constantly use that tool to deflate your royalty. This
Speaker 1: is why every day you have to press a little
Speaker 1: bit in and I don't mean press in out of works.
Speaker 1: I mean with your heart and with your mind to
Speaker 1: remember because royalty leaks. Royalty leaks. Everything about this world
Speaker 1: is postured to pull the royalty out of you. But
Speaker 1: Father wants us to see, even in what he did
Speaker 1: with Israel, he wants us to see that what he's
Speaker 1: called us to is the promised on. What he's called
Speaker 1: us to is royalty. He's called us out of a wilderness.
Speaker 1: He's called us out of scarcity. He's called us out
Speaker 1: of wondering around without purpose. He's called us out of
Speaker 1: going around the same issues time and time again. He's
Speaker 1: called us out of bondage. He's called us out of
Speaker 1: He's called us out of all of that into abundance
Speaker 1: and plenty and rejoicing. One of the key, one of
Speaker 1: the key stories the Lord told about all of this
Speaker 1: is the Prodigal story. And I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: thought of the prodigal story in light of Jewan gentile,
Speaker 1: but I want to give it to you in light
Speaker 1: of Jewan gentile, because the older son was the metaphor
Speaker 1: the figurative picture of the Jewish people. The Jewish people
Speaker 1: were keeping the law and attaining their righteousness according to
Speaker 1: the law. And of course this is what life springs
Speaker 1: out of life. Life and blessings and everything springs out
Speaker 1: of righteousness, right relationship with God. Righteousness. Righteousness is the
Speaker 1: central key to not only eternal life, but the tree
Speaker 1: of life. And you and I have been brought into
Speaker 1: Father through his righteousness so that we can taste of both.
Speaker 1: We not only eat of the tree of life, but
Speaker 1: we eat of the goodness of God in every way.
Speaker 1: So in the Prodigal Son's story, this is Luke chapter
Speaker 1: fifteen eleven. And following I'll just tell the story for
Speaker 1: the sake of time, because I want to get to
Speaker 1: a few other thoughts. But you know that the younger
Speaker 1: son said, give me your inherit, give me my inheritance,
Speaker 1: and he went out into wild living. And it's really
Speaker 1: a picture of the gentile nations. The gentile nations wanted
Speaker 1: nothing to do with God, and they went out into
Speaker 1: wild living. But then at some point he came to
Speaker 1: his senses. And this is what happens with all of
Speaker 1: us as well, as we come to our senses and
Speaker 1: we come back to God in our works. So he
Speaker 1: said to himself, I know that even the servants back
Speaker 1: at Dad's house, they at least have food and housing.
Speaker 1: So he's coming back to Dad and Dad is running
Speaker 1: to meet him. Remember the story, So Dad's running to
Speaker 1: meet him. He's coming back to Dad and Dad is
Speaker 1: rejoicing to see him, and he throws himself prostrate before Dad,
Speaker 1: and he says, I'm not worthy. This is all of us,
Speaker 1: this is all of us, this is the gentile nations. Now,
Speaker 1: as we come back to God, this is religion, as
Speaker 1: we come back to God, I'm not worthy to become
Speaker 1: your son or to be called your son. Just make
Speaker 1: me one of your hired servants. Wow, he's coming back
Speaker 1: to live like old brother older brothers living. But Dad
Speaker 1: will have nothing to do with it. Dad's like, you
Speaker 1: don't have to pay me back. I'll reinstate the full inheritance.
Speaker 1: Kill the fatted calf. We're gonna get get the band,
Speaker 1: get the dance. Were out, this son of mine who
Speaker 1: has lost, These gentile nations who were lost, they have
Speaker 1: now been found. It says Father goes to He goes
Speaker 1: to every extreme to throw a party. It says, the
Speaker 1: merriment began. And you know what, if you go to
Speaker 1: the end of the story, it doesn't say the merriment
Speaker 1: ever stopped. The merriment never stopped. It hasn't stopped to
Speaker 1: this day. Father is rejoicing crazy over the gentiles us
Speaker 1: as we come back to Father in faith, not in
Speaker 1: our works, receiving the royalty of being hidden in Jesus
Speaker 1: and living out of that reality of already seated in
Speaker 1: heavenly places with him. The older other season and the
Speaker 1: older brother is the picture of religion, the picture of
Speaker 1: working hard, the picture of trying to attain, the picture
Speaker 1: of trying to please, the picture of the trying to perform,
Speaker 1: the picture of judging myself according to my performance, and
Speaker 1: therefore evaluating the level of royalty that I can walk
Speaker 1: in and the blessings I can partake of. He's never
Speaker 1: he's never partaken of blessings. He says, I'm mad, I'm bitter.
Speaker 1: I'm mad this son who's spent everything. You're blessing him.
Speaker 1: You put the robe on him, You put the finger
Speaker 1: on him, you breathe the ring on his finger. You've yeah,
Speaker 1: I put a finger on him.
Speaker 2: Picture.
Speaker 1: You may be seated. We're gonna make it through this morning.
Speaker 1: We're gonna make it through this. We're gonna be okay.
Speaker 1: He was so ticked off, he was so mad, right
Speaker 1: right because and listen what he says. He says, I've
Speaker 1: worked for you all this time, and I've never asked
Speaker 1: for anything from you. Why why doesn't religion partake of
Speaker 1: the blessing? Why doesn't religion partake of the abundance? Why
Speaker 1: doesn't religion rule and reign? Why doesn't religion partake of
Speaker 1: the grace? Why doesn't religion receive the lavish kindness of God?
Speaker 1: Why doesn't religion partake of the promised land? Because they
Speaker 1: never can, They never can obtain. You're never good enough,
Speaker 1: so you never do ask much. You're afraid to ask much.
Speaker 1: And if you ask Jesus you gotta be careful. You
Speaker 1: can't you can't receive much. And if you get, if
Speaker 1: you if you begin to act like Jesus, Oh, religion
Speaker 1: will tell you. How dare you? How dare you command
Speaker 1: the weather? How dare you act like you're blessed? How
Speaker 1: dare you speak the sickness and disease? Who do you
Speaker 1: think you are? Well, let me just tell you who
Speaker 1: I think I am. I am a joint heir with
Speaker 1: the Beloved. I am seated in heavenly places. This earth
Speaker 1: suit that I've got right now, this earth suit is
Speaker 1: just an obedient extension of a spirit man that's already
Speaker 1: raised up with Jesus. I'm only eating right now this
Speaker 1: food because I need to to sustain this earth suit.
Speaker 1: But the real me, it's already ruling and reigning with him.
Speaker 1: Come on, somebody, we have to be so careful because
Speaker 1: religion is trying to reel you in all the time,
Speaker 1: is trying to reel you in all that, and even
Speaker 1: to just get you talking religious. The way we talk
Speaker 1: religious one of the ways there's so many ways that
Speaker 1: we talk religious. We sing religious songs. I'm so thankful
Speaker 1: for Bethel. Can I say how thankful I am forbebel
Speaker 1: because the Johnsons and the Bethel folks who've been cranking
Speaker 1: out beautiful songs now for twenty five or thirty years,
Speaker 1: they've been helping us because they've been redeeming our bad
Speaker 1: theology songs, because so many of our songs were filled
Speaker 1: with religious theology instead of life giving revived. I'm a
Speaker 1: walking open heaven. I'm a walking revival. I have the
Speaker 1: open heaven living in me. I have Jacob's latter living
Speaker 1: in me. Wow, there's not one blessing all that hasn't
Speaker 1: already been given to you and me. We've already been
Speaker 1: blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Jesus, you know
Speaker 1: why most of the body of Christ is not tasting
Speaker 1: of the blessings because they believe that they don't have
Speaker 1: them yet. Everything's future in religion. Everything's future, and you
Speaker 1: never get to it because you're always disqualified. The harvest
Speaker 1: is coming, oh, Jesus, rebuke that. No, the harvest is now.
Speaker 1: The fields are white under harvest. Now. No, the harvest
Speaker 1: is always coming. Revival is always coming, Glory is always coming.
Speaker 1: Everything's in the future with religion, but in the fulfillment
Speaker 1: of royalty of the new creation. We are partakers of
Speaker 1: it now, we are carriers of it now, we are
Speaker 1: dispensers of it now, we are dwelling in it now.
Speaker 1: It is ours now. How are you ever gonna shift
Speaker 1: the future if you don't have something now now. Faith
Speaker 1: is the substance of things hoped for, not tomorrow. Faith
Speaker 1: is a substance of things hoped for now. Faith is
Speaker 1: the substance of things hope for. We will never shift tomorrow.
Speaker 1: If we don't have it today, it's not coming tomorrow.
Speaker 1: If you don't have it today, you've got to have
Speaker 1: it in you today. If you think you're gonna get
Speaker 1: something shifted tomorrow, it's impossible to shift tomorrow if you
Speaker 1: don't have it today. That's why we've been made partakers
Speaker 1: in Him by his righteousness, not by ours. It's not
Speaker 1: dependent on my righteousness, it's not dependent on my works.
Speaker 1: It's I love to pray every day. I love fellowship
Speaker 1: with Holy Spirit every day, and I know you do too.
Speaker 1: But if you miss a day, Hello somebody, you're not
Speaker 1: a big pile of when he's pooh, there's nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with You're gonna live. You're still reigning with Christ. You're
Speaker 1: still a king with him. Hello, somebody you do? Oh
Speaker 1: I miss Rare yesterday. I better do double time prayer today.
Speaker 2: And wow we have you know we just okay, all right,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry I should be looking at my notes that
Speaker 2: I don't carry it away with myself.
Speaker 1: Ephesians one three. Praise be unto God and the Father
Speaker 1: of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Who hath hath the king?
Speaker 1: James says, half everybody say hath he got a a
Speaker 1: hath hath who? Okay, okay, the Nivas has it's I
Speaker 1: just want you to see it's past tense. I want
Speaker 1: you to see its past tense. It's behind you. Has
Speaker 1: blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing
Speaker 1: in Christ. Not some of the spiritual blessings, Not a
Speaker 1: few of the spiritual blessings. Not enough to get you
Speaker 1: to the rapture spiritual blessing. Every spiritual blessing you have
Speaker 1: already received from Him. He's poured it. He goes on
Speaker 1: to say, he's lavished it. He's lavished it on us
Speaker 1: verse seven. In him, we have redemptions for the blood,
Speaker 1: the forgiveness of sin, in accordance with the riches of
Speaker 1: God's grace. Everybody's say riches. You'd never know this the
Speaker 1: way most of us live. You'd never know this, the
Speaker 1: way most Christians live, that we are partakers of lavish
Speaker 1: riches of grace. You'd never know it. We're bummed out,
Speaker 1: we're weary, we're wiped out, we're discouraged, we're broke, we're negative,
Speaker 1: we're real attractive, extremely attractive. Ah. Yeah, lavished it on
Speaker 1: us with all wisdom and understanding. He made known to
Speaker 1: us the mystery of his will, according to the good
Speaker 1: pleasure that he purposed in Christ Ephesians two six, because
Speaker 1: of his great love for us. Remember he's talking to gentiles.
Speaker 1: He's talking to the young son, the gentile nations that
Speaker 1: ran away. This is Ephesus, the church at Ephesis, a
Speaker 1: bunch of reprobates, involved in every kind of impure, unclean,
Speaker 1: debauchery and witchcraft and idolatry. And look at this, He says,
Speaker 1: He lavished on us this love because of his great
Speaker 1: love for us. God, who is rich in mercy, made
Speaker 1: us alive with Christ. What made us alive with Christ
Speaker 1: even when we were dead in our transgressions. It's by
Speaker 1: grace you have been saved, and God raised us up
Speaker 1: with him and seated us a bunch of gentile nncompoops,
Speaker 1: seated us with him in heavenly realms, in Christ Jesus,
Speaker 1: in order that in the age is to come, he
Speaker 1: might just continue to show us off and show the
Speaker 1: incomparable riches of grace expressed in his kindness to us.
Speaker 1: In Christ Jesus, your life is a thousand times better
Speaker 1: than you think it is. It's a thousand times better
Speaker 1: than you are now receiving and in partaking. And it's
Speaker 1: because you're letting your royalty get drained out of you
Speaker 1: a little bit more. And you're thinking, but it's just
Speaker 1: three pounds of pressure that I got drained at. It's
Speaker 1: just a little bit. It's just a small it's a
Speaker 1: small leak. You know how you judge inflatables, Well, honey,
Speaker 1: is it a big league or a small league? It's
Speaker 1: just a small league. Okay, then pump it back up tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We tolerate small leaks, but the small leaks are making
Speaker 1: us worthless. The small leaks are robbing our power. The
Speaker 1: small leaks are keeping us dowdy. And downcast, instead triumphant
Speaker 1: and overcoming. Put a patch on the leak. Put a
Speaker 1: patch on it. Put a Jesus royal patch on it.
Speaker 1: Remember who you are, Oh my goodness, God raised us
Speaker 1: up in him and seated us with him. Last week
Speaker 1: mich was talking about how he's seated at the right hand.
Speaker 1: Remember that. He was talking about that, and he said, seated.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a position of rest right And God
Speaker 1: said that four times in scripture. You hear me talk
Speaker 1: about that all the time Psalm one ten, Hebrews one.
Speaker 1: Set here at my right hand, until I put all
Speaker 1: of your enemies under your feet and make them a
Speaker 1: footstool for you. The seated position, it's reflective of the
Speaker 1: declaration over him and the direct declaration he made at
Speaker 1: the cross. It is, it is finished, it's complete, it's done.
Speaker 1: I have overcome on behalf of the sons of Adam. Well,
Speaker 1: that's that's where you are spiritually. You you're not in
Speaker 1: this place of like hyperactivity and you got a little
Speaker 1: really a boy, you gotta go, you gotta and boy
Speaker 1: I don't and man, I'm not measuring up. And you
Speaker 1: are seated with him. That's a position of rest. You
Speaker 1: enter into that and partner with it through your faith,
Speaker 1: not through your works. Yeah, let's stand this morning. Religion
Speaker 1: says you have to overcome sin, Satan, and the curse.
Speaker 1: But royalty says he overcame for you and on your behalf,
Speaker 1: and you only need to enter in to his victory
Speaker 1: by faith. Religion always has a reason why God's not
Speaker 1: working now, but he'll work in the future. Religion will
Speaker 1: tell you that he'll work in the future. That reason
Speaker 1: always pertains to works and performance. Religion functions out of
Speaker 1: a state of poverty and alienation, and appeasement has to
Speaker 1: be made to remove the alienation. So this is how
Speaker 1: religion ministers, too are mined. Oh I've got to appease God.
Speaker 1: I've got to appease him. I've got to appease him.
Speaker 1: The Royalty of the New Creation says, the Lord appeased him.
Speaker 1: I can. I cannot. I cannot supersede the appeasement of Jesus.
Speaker 1: All I need to do is stay close to Papa
Speaker 1: in faith, I don't need the crawl on glass. No
Speaker 1: appeasement necessary. Religion presents us as perpetual paupers, beggars who
Speaker 1: don't deserve, constantly appealing to God for grace and mercy.
Speaker 1: But the Royalty of the New Creation says, you've been
Speaker 1: made sons and daughters of God by the gift of righteousness.
Speaker 1: His righteousness. Religion says you must strive to get near
Speaker 1: to the Lord. Royalty says you're already one with the Lord.
Speaker 1: You can't get closer than you already are. Religion says
Speaker 1: sanctification of the process. Royalty of the New Creation says
Speaker 1: Sanctification is a man and he lives in you. Partner
Speaker 1: with him and you'll immediately be sanctified. You don't need
Speaker 1: twenty years to get sanctified. You need a man living
Speaker 1: in you. That's all you need. Walk with the man,
Speaker 1: Listen to the man. The man will guide you. You'll
Speaker 1: be instantly sanctified. Oh Holy Spirit, let's put our hands
Speaker 1: out this morning. I want you to receive a patch
Speaker 1: and you're inflatable right now. Just receive a patch right now.
