-
Hallelujah, glory to God's everybody good tonight.
-
Wasn't that exciting news that God is on the move?
-
Hallelujah. God is on the move and things
-
are moving. What?
-
In His direction? In his direction, Hallelujah.
-
And that's exciting for change. Amen.
-
Hallelujah that things are moving in the direction of who
-
He is Glory to God. And so we're just going to kind
-
of do a little repeat from Sunday, but we're going to move
-
forward on into this and we're calling this Kingdom life the in
-
him reality because coming from John chapter 10 and verse 10,
John 10 chapter mention
-
where Jesus says he says this, that the thief comes to steal,
-
kill and destroy. But what?
-
But I have come that you may have life and that you have it.
-
What more abundantly? And what did we say that more
-
abundantly, literally means? It means exceedingly overflowing
-
superior, a more excellent come on, beyond the ordinary life.
-
That's what abundant life means. It's what it being, what it
-
means. You ought to be living beyond
-
the ordinary. When people look at you, you,
-
they ought to say you are not ordinary.
-
You're right, I'm not. I'm not an ordinary, everyday
-
regular human. Come on.
-
I am superhuman because I serve a supernatural God, and He
-
expected me to believe beyond this natural realm, beyond this
-
natural realm, and be able to tap into Heaven's realm and
-
bring it to Earth. Bring it to Earth.
-
Come on. That's what He wants.
-
He wants us to bring His realm to Earth and He wants to do it
-
through each and every one of you that are not ordinary.
-
You're not ordinary. Don't let people put you in a
-
ordinary box. You're not ordinary.
-
You're beyond that. When you know who you are in
-
Christ, when you know who you are in Christ Jesus.
-
So he he promises us a more superior, a more excellent life.
-
Amen. That's beyond this realm.
-
Hallelujah. And then we saw that in John 14
-
six. He said this.
-
He said I am the way, the truth and the what, the life.
-
I am the way. I am the highway.
-
I am the road. What the road or the journey to
-
the Father's Kingdom. I'm the road and I'm the
-
highway. And I don't know about you, I'm
-
not on the highway to hell, but I'm on the highway to the
-
Kingdom of God. Amen.
-
And this is the road I'm on and this is the journey.
-
Come on, that we as children of God are on if you've accepted
-
Him, and that He is the way, the truth, and the life and truth.
-
What did we say it was? It was true in any matter under
-
any consideration. I chose not to consider the
-
symptoms in my body, but to remind myself that this thing
-
cannot stay attached to me. Come on.
-
Because by His stripes I inhaled, because He took on
-
those stripes and poured out His blood and I'm in covenant with
-
him. Come on.
-
Then I will walk in divine healing, supernatural healing.
-
That is not ordinary. It's not going to stay on my
-
body. Hallelujah, glory to God.
-
And then He says this. I am the life, and we know what
-
that meant. That meant He is the only one
-
that is the source of true life. He is the breath of life.
-
He is the breath of divine life, eternal life.
-
He is the source and the source alone.
-
Come on, it means He breathed in us the breath of life.
-
Come on, Hallelujah. And the thing about it is, is
-
that, listen, we will not find satisfaction in anything else
-
that this life can bring us because He was always meant to
-
be the source of your life, always meant to be the source,
-
the wellspring of your life. He was always meant to be it
-
from day one. But then we read this, and this
-
is where we're moving on to Acts 17 and 28.
-
And it said this for in him, in him.
-
And when I read that, it reminded me of all the in him
-
realities in the scripture. In Him, you know, I wasn't even
-
thinking. In him, we live and move and
-
exist. I'm reading out the amplified
-
that is in Him we actually have our being as even some of the
-
own prophets, pro poets, excuse me, not prophets, poets have
-
said, for we also are his children.
-
In Him we live and this is where we must remain.
-
We must remain in our position of in him, in him, because
-
remember, there's nothing that we can do within ourselves.
-
Everything that we do and should do to bring the Kingdom life and
-
those realities from heaven to earth can only be done in the
-
position of in Him. Because if I try to do it in
-
myself and if I try to live it it myself, I'm doing it by my
-
own works. But let me tell you, we must
-
stay in the position of in Him realizing that I need His grace
-
everyday because it's not of my works.
-
Come on. But it's by His grace.
-
And it's so easy to try to because you know it.
-
Some things you just know, well, I could do that.
-
I know how to do that. I don't need to pray about it.
-
I don't. I know how if you do, this is
-
going to be the result. But no, see, that's where we
-
start get moving back into that fine line of works because no
-
matter what we're doing, we must rely on Him and we must ask of
-
him, is this how we do it? Is this what we need to do?
-
Because I know that we could do this.
-
But see, I don't do it in my own works, my own reasoning, my own
-
math. No, we have to do it because in
-
him I live. I move.
-
Come on, say move. I'm telling you, we need to have
-
some good movements. We need to have some good
-
cleanses. Hallelujah.
-
Because in Him we live, we move and we have our being in Him, in
-
him, in Him come on, in Him we live, In Him we live.
-
Listen to what in Him we live means.
-
When you look it up in the Greek, we breathe everyday.
-
It's his breath and my lungs. Isn't that a song?
-
The reality? See, this is a reality when it
-
becomes real to you that in him I live, I live.
-
It's his breath and my lungs. In him I move and I have my
-
being and I exist. It means this.
-
In him we live. What does it mean to be alive?
-
Because without him is death, and to move without him is only
-
going to end in death. And there's so many people that
-
move outside of him. And in the end, it lies death,
-
even though they're born again, because the enemy can still
-
come, still kill and destroy, even if you're born again,
-
because anyway, you leave a door open, he is going to enter right
-
in. And there's ways, and I'm not
-
getting into that tonight. I'm not here to talk about the
-
devil and his wicked ways tonight, but maybe one night.
-
Anyway, let's get back here. It says in him we live, we are
-
alive. It means quick because he can
-
quicken that. That's where that word quicken
-
comes from, because to be alive means he's quickened you and he
-
and we know Romans, this is a side note.
-
It's not in my, but Roman says he can quicken your mortal body.
-
When you feel tired, come on. When you feel like you can't go
-
on another day, come on, guess what?
-
You just know who you are in Christ and say listen in him.
-
He's going to quicken my mortal body.
-
Hallelujah. Because He is life and He is the
-
source of life. He is the supply of life, He is
-
the nourishment of life and He can quicken that which is dead.
-
Because He said we said it Sunday.
-
He is the what? The resurrection and the life,
-
He said it. This is who I am.
-
So anything that seems dead, come on, I can quicken it.
-
I can resurrection, resurrect it, and I can bring it back to
-
life so that you'll be alive again, that you'll be alive
-
again. It means to be lively.
-
How many believers at like they just don't have any life in
-
them. You know what?
-
They don't know who they are in him at like they just live from
-
day-to-day passively que sera sera, whatever will be will be
-
and you can barely get anything out of them.
-
They don't know who they are in Christ because if they really
-
had the life of Christ living on the inside of them, they would
-
be a lively person alive. Come on unto God alive.
-
When you come in here, you shouldn't be dead.
-
Come on, you should be alive because you're full of life and
-
his life is flowing through your veins.
-
He says he is Zoway life, it's flowing through your veins.
-
Hallelujah. It means this.
-
This is what it means in him. We live.
-
It means to enjoy real life. To enjoy real life because
-
everything else is a facade. Everything else is a false
-
reality. They're not really happy.
-
You know, I said this in my class and you, you know, pastors
-
probably said this as well. I know he has.
-
But you know, on commercials because we were talking about
-
divine healing and different things.
-
Oh, breaking generational curses.
-
There is no such thing as generational curses for those
-
that are born again. The curse has been broken.
-
It's been broken. Now you have to enact it or it
-
will still be a part of your life.
-
But anyway, that's a side note. But I was talking about the fact
-
that, you know, on all of the because I broke the generational
-
curse for my family of Alcoholics.
-
And so I was telling them that no commercial shows that, you
-
know, they just show you drinking and happy and having a
-
good time. They don't show the person in
-
the gutter. They don't show these people
-
come on pushing the buggies talking to themselves and just
-
wanting to know that. They don't show that on the
-
commercial because that is death and that's what it leads to.
-
They don't show the the guy in the hospital with his bout to
-
die like my 30 year old nephew or not nephew cousin who died of
-
alcohol poisoning. They don't show that on the
-
commercial and all these Christians want to act like they
-
can just drink and it only leads to death and it opens a door to
-
the enemy of compromise. And guarantee you, you will find
-
out through their walk. You will see nothing but the
-
result of it. Guarantee it.
-
Just watch them, watch them. I've seen too many of them, too
-
many of them believers open the door to alcohol because some so
-
and so thinks that you can drink and da da da, you're under grace
-
and you time will tell. They'll end up being divorced
-
because they've had an affair. Tell you time and time and time
-
again. I've been on this thing now for
-
over 30 years and I've seen it time and time again.
-
So anyway, let me get back over to life because I wasn't here to
-
do all this and get everybody quiet.
-
I'm here to tell you, you can enjoy the real life.
-
The you can be the life of the party.
-
And we need those that can be the life of the party.
-
Come on. And you don't have to get drunk
-
like those. Come on.
-
No, not as those as you suppose. No, you need to be drunk in the
-
Holy Ghost. All those drinkers that used to
-
drink and then want to come up here and act like a dead head.
-
Come on, when you have you have the Holy Ghost, the greater one
-
that you can enjoy life, Hallelujah, without having to
-
have a drink, but you can take a drink from real life.
-
Amen. Hallelujah.
-
So let me move on. People are looking at me funny
-
anyway. Yeah, I see it.
-
It's all right every time. Hallelujah.
-
In him we live, we have our being.
-
It also means this. This is all it means in the
-
Greek. To have true life, to have true
-
life. Hallelujah.
-
Oh, and I love this worthy true life.
-
Worthy of the name. True life, worthy of the name.
-
See, we're worthy of the name. Come on.
-
And not only are we worthy of the name, we've been authorized
-
to use the name. And that was so interesting to
-
me that it said that worthy of the name.
-
Because do you know how many times the enemy will try to come
-
in and tell you you're not worthy?
-
But bless God, he says that in him we live.
-
And I am worthy of his name. I'm worthy.
-
I'm worthy to live it out and to use his name, Hallelujah, that
-
name that's been given to me to say that in Jesus name my body
-
will get into alignment and this sickness will not stay on me.
-
Hallelujah, glory to God, it means this active, active.
-
So if we are truly. Living the Kingdom life, we will
-
be active for the Kingdom alive. Active because anything alive is
-
not dead or stagnant. Come on, anything alive is
-
growing and moving is growing and moving.
-
Anything alive is so it's active.
-
You know what else it means? It's blessed, it's blessed.
-
Hallelujah to and, and that the Kingdom to it is endless.
-
It's endless. There's so much life in him.
-
It's endless in the Kingdom of God, Hallelujah, because he is
-
the eternal source of life. So it's endless.
-
It's endless. You will never grow out or grow
-
tired of being alive in Christ if you stay in union with Him.
-
It's endless. There's a full supply of life
-
for you, even in the midst of your darkest hour.
-
Guess what? You can say no in Him.
-
Come on, this is my source. He is my supply.
-
This is for me. It means this to live in a
-
manner. So not only is it all just about
-
you being alive unto God, but it also has to do with if you're
-
alive and you're living and you're enjoying the Kingdom life
-
and you are truly worthy of His name, then guess what?
-
It also means to live in the manner of living and acting of
-
morals or character. So when you become alive unto
-
the life of God, guess what else changes?
-
Your character. Come on, your character, your
-
morality, it changes. It changes.
-
So it's all a part of his life that's being given to you.
-
It also means this in him we live.
-
It means this living water having vital power in itself and
-
exerting the same upon your soul.
-
Living water. Isn't that what Jesus says?
-
Isn't that what Jesus says? Let me read that to you because
-
I want to move. Move on.
-
John chapter 4. This is the Samaritan woman, the
John 4 chapter mention
-
Samaritan woman, John 47 through 15 out of the amplified, it
-
says. And then a woman from Samaria
-
came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, give me a drink.
-
For his disciples had gone off into the city to buy food.
-
And the Samaritan woman asked him, How is it that you being a
-
Jew is asking me a Samaritan woman for a drink for the Jews,
-
This is the amplified have nothing to do with the
-
Samaritans. Verse 10 Jesus answered her and
-
said this. Listen to what he said.
-
If you knew about God's gift of eternal life.
-
Here it is again, eternal life. I am life.
-
It says this and who it is who says to you, give me a drink.
-
You would have asked him instead, and he would have given
-
you what Living water? Eternal life.
-
And she said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, no
-
bucket or rope, and the well is deep.
-
Where then do you get that living water?
-
Are you greater than our Father Jacob, who gave us this well and
-
used to drink from it himself, and the sons and his cattle
-
also? And Jesus answered her, Everyone
-
who drinks this water will be thirsty again.
-
But whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be
-
thirsty again. Hallelujah, will never be
-
thirsty again, because He is the wellspring of the live source of
-
water. Come on that flow, come on on
-
the inside of you. When you get born again, there's
-
always life. Come on flowing, glory to God,
-
but the water I give to him will become in him a spring of water,
-
satisfying his thirst for God, welling up and continually
-
flowing, bubbling within him to eternal life.
-
And the woman said to him, Sir, give me this water so that I
-
will not get thirsty nor have to continually come away all the
-
way here to draw. Hallelujah.
-
And then, you know, he goes in and and begins to prophecy over
-
her. But I'm telling you, he is the
-
life source and he is the one that has that water flowing
-
continually to bring life to us. Amen.
-
Hallelujah. And he expects us to live this
-
life, this Kingdom life. He expects us to live this way,
-
He expects us to live this way. He expects us to live in Him, to
-
move in Him, and to have our existence in Him.
-
Because again, the things that are seen are what?
-
Temporary. But the things that are not
-
seen, they are what? Eternal.
-
And we are eternal beings, Come on.
-
And we are to tap into the realm of heaven, the Kingdom of God,
-
as our source and our supply. Hallelujah.
-
You know Romans reminds us that those that are alive unto him
-
come on Romans 6-8 it says, Now if we have died with Christ, we
-
believe that we shall also live with him.
-
We believe we'll live with him because we are what in Christ.
-
Romans 611 says this. Even so, consider yourselves
-
dead to sin. But what alive unto God?
-
We are alive unto God once we call on His name, and we receive
-
Him as our Lord. We repent of our sins, and we
-
receive Him as the Lord of our life.
-
Romans 613 says Do not go on offering your members of your
-
body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but offer yourself
-
to God in a decisive act as those alive and raised from the
-
dead to a what new life and your members, all of your abilities
-
sanctified, set apart as instruments of righteousness,
-
yielded to God. Amen.
-
This is how we're supposed to live once we get born again,
-
realizing that in Him we are alive and we've been given a new
-
life to live and this new life to live.
-
We're to enjoy this life. We are to live a more excellent
-
life. We're to live a superior life.
-
We're to go beyond what this natural realm tells us we must
-
be. No, I don't submit to this
-
natural realm. We're going to submit to the
-
Kingdom of God and the Kingdom and the way he says that we are
-
to live. Amen.
-
He says listen in Galatians 219 and 20 it says for through the
-
law I died to the law and its demands on me, because salvation
-
is through what provided through the death and the resurrection
-
of Christ, so that I might now on live to God.
-
I have what been crucified with Christ that is in him, say in
-
him. I have shared his crucifixion.
-
It is no longer I who live, but it's what Christ who lives in
-
me. It's Christ who lives in me, the
-
life I now live in this body. I live by faith, by adhering to
-
and relying on and completely trusting in the Son of God who
-
loved me and gave my his self up for me.
-
We are to walk in this newness of life.
-
We listen. We've been crucified in Christ
-
and it's no longer I who live, but it's Christ who lives in me.
-
And so that means everything, come on, that I am doing.
-
I'm to live in Him, I'm to move in Him.
-
I have my being in Him. So he is my source because I am
-
in Christ. I'm in Christ.
-
Colossians 3, three through 4 says this For you died to this
-
world. Say I've died to this world.
-
Wow. I've died to this world and it's
-
systems and it's reasonings and it's philosophies and it's come
-
on social norms. No, come on.
-
I've died to this world and your new real life is what hidden in
-
Christ. It's hidden.
-
I like that word hidden because it may.
-
It's like you are protected. You're hidden in him.
-
You're protected. You, you know what?
-
When you're hiding, you're not exposed to the ploys of the
-
enemy. You're hidden in Christ and all
-
the things that this world will try to come after you with.
-
No, I'm hidden in Christ. I'm in him.
-
He's my protector. Come on.
-
He's my shield. Glory to God.
-
He is my source, Hallelujah. I'm hidden in him.
-
I'm hidden in him, in Christ, in God.
-
When Christ who is our life appears, then you will also
-
appear with him in glory, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, glory to
-
God. Oh, soon and very soon.
-
We're going to see the King. Soon and very soon we're going
-
to see the King of glory, oh Hallelujah, being ushered in.
-
Glory to God. We're going to see soon and very
-
soon. There's a good song.
-
Soon and very soon we are going to see the king.
-
Come on. Soon and very soon we are going
-
to see the King. I need the organ player.
-
Where you at? Where you at?
-
Come on, we're going to see the king soon and very soon.
-
Hallelujah. Those that are hidden in Him,
-
those that are hidden in Him, glory to God. 2nd Corinthians
-
517 I'm just reminding y'all of some things.
-
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature.
-
Old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become
-
new. You are walking in the newness
-
of life. You're walking in the newness of
-
life. 2nd Corinthians 521 He himself, who knew no sin took,
-
came to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become what?
-
The righteousness of God in Christ.
-
It's not in my own righteousness and my own works.
-
Come on. It was His righteousness that
-
put me in this position that is worthy of His name, so that I
-
can live the Kingdom of God in the earth.
-
Come on a more excellent superior life and beyond
-
ordinary Hallelujah with his life flowing through me as the
-
source. Glory to God, glory to God,
-
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. But you know, he said there that
-
that it was about also the moral character, right the the the
-
moral character, the living, the manner of living and acting of
-
these moral characters go. He's constantly reminding us,
-
listen, we are dead to this world.
-
We are dead to sin. That stuff should no longer be a
-
part of our life. And He lets us know in Ephesians
Ephesians 4 chapter mention
-
chapter 4 and verse 23 and 24, it says, and that you be renewed
-
in the spirit of your mind, put on the new self, which is in the
-
likeness of God and has been created in the righteousness and
-
holiness of truth. You see that?
-
And then in Colossians 310 says this, Put on the new self who is
-
being renewed to the true knowledge according to the image
-
of the One who created you. He is the Creator.
-
Come on. He is the divine Creator of all
-
mankind. He is the breath, He is the
-
life, He is the source, and He's letting us know.
-
Listen, you've got to walk in that true image and in His image
-
and in his likeness, and you've got to walk it out every day.
-
If you're going to have the Kingdom reality in your life,
-
you're going to have to walk it out.
-
That means when you encounter come on situations and
-
circumstances that you may be walking through, you have to
-
remind yourself, well, I am in Christ, so how would Christ
-
respond? What do I need to do?
-
How do I need to move in this Lord?
-
He ought to always be at the tip of your tongue in everything
-
you're doing, in every decision, in every decision, in anything
-
going on in your life, every single thing going on in your
-
life. Because if you really exist in
-
him, then he has the final say to anything in your life,
-
anything, anything. He cares about it in the image.
-
We are we are created in his image and in His likeness.
-
And we know that got distorted because of the fall.
-
But let me tell you, once you come on, get back in, Christ,
-
come on, all of that stuff can settle out and you can become,
-
come on, you can be transformed into that new image, but you
-
have to choose to put it on every day.
-
So there's all kinds of, of situations and, and things going
-
on and things that you would like to do.
-
I would like to say a lot, but I refrain from it because it would
-
not be edification in certain situations and circumstances.
-
You see what I'm saying? So if I'm going to walk in the
-
newness of life and in the true image and likeness of Christ,
-
then I have to do some things. He's not going to do it
-
automatically for you once you're born again.
-
Look at second Peter. I love this scripture and I've
-
quoted it for years. Second Peter, how's our time?
-
Second Peter, my husband's coming home and he said, oh,
-
I'll beat you at home. So they let the plane lands at
-
8:50 in Orlando. It already landed.
-
Oh, it landed early. Well, he's going to beat me
-
home. Second Peter, Chapter 1, three
2 Peter 1 chapter mention
-
through 4, it says this for his divine.
-
Oh man, listen to this scripture for his.
-
I just love scripture, don't you?
-
You ought to. If you don't, you need to read
-
Psalms 119 for a whole year. Second Peter chapter 1.
2 Peter 1 chapter mention
-
I had to do that for about 6 months one year.
-
Just read Psalms 119. You know, there's no shame in
-
that. It's His word and you'll realize
-
it's your life. Source Hallelujah.
-
Second Peter 1/3 through 4 says for his divine power, say divine
-
power has been bestowed on us. Think about that.
-
If we really think about that, the creator of heaven and earth,
-
his divinity, his divine power has been bestowed upon us, I
-
don't think we have the real reality of that divine power.
-
Of the creator of heaven and earth has been bestowed upon us.
-
Listen to what it says. Absolutely everything necessary
-
for a dynamic spiritual life. I mean, y'all are too quiet for
-
that. Somebody ought to be getting up,
-
running around this building and shouting Hallelujah.
-
The divine power of God, come on, is living on the inside of
-
you. Y'all need resurrection life in
-
here. I'm not joking, not joking.
-
The divine power has been bestowed upon us.
-
Absolutely everything necessary for a dynamic.
-
And when you look up that it's Dunamis power, a dynamic
-
spiritual life and godliness through true and personal
-
knowledge of him. See for true and personal
-
knowledge of Him, If you personally knew Him, come on,
-
this place would not be silent, because the divine nature of
-
God, come on, is living on the inside of you, and everything
-
necessary for your life right here has been given to you
-
through the life of God. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, and look
-
what he says of Him who called us.
-
By His own glory and excellence. He chose us to be partakers of
-
His divine nature. This scripture y'all need to
-
meditate on, I'm telling you, because you don't have it.
-
And he says this. For by these He has bestowed on
-
us His precious and magnificent promises of inexpressible value,
-
so that by them you may escape from the immoral freedom that is
-
in the world because of disreputable, disreputable
-
desire, and become sharers of the divine nature.
-
And when you look that divine nature up, it literally is the
-
Godhead. The Godhead, we are partakers
-
and He has bestowed it upon us. Hallelujah to bring heaven to
-
earth. Thank you Lord, thank you
-
Father. 2nd Corinthians 121 and 22 says this.
-
Now it is God who establishes and confirms us in joint
-
fellowship with you in Christ, say in Christ, and who has what
-
anointed us, empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit.
-
It is He who has also put His seal on us, that is, He has
-
appropriated us and certified us as His and has given us the Holy
-
Spirit in our hearts as a pledge, like a security deposit,
-
a guarantee, the fulfillment of His promise of eternal life.
-
Hallelujah, the divine nature, the Godhead and the Holy Spirit
-
as the seal that we belong to him.
-
Hallelujah, Glory to God, glory to God, Hallelujah.
-
Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord.
-
Says in him we move. We were never meant to stand
-
still. We were always supposed to be
-
forward moving, Forward moving. To move literally means to
-
calls, to go, to set in motion, to set in motion, and that
-
motion is to be evident of his life in you.
-
Are you moving with God? Are we?
