  1. We've been talking about Psalms 23.

  2. How many of you have been enjoying that?

  3. Amen. And so let's go back over

  4. tonight and finish this out for our last Wednesday night that

  5. we'll be talking about this. And you know, we've been reading

  6. out of Psalms 23 verses one through 6 and it says this the

  7. Lord is my shepherd to feed, to guide and to shield me.

  8. I shall not want. He lets me lie down in green

  9. pastures. He leads me besides still

  10. waters. He refreshes and restores my

  11. soul. He leads me in paths of

  12. righteousness for his name's sake.

  13. And even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of

  14. death, I will fear no evil. For you are with me, Your rod to

  15. protect me, and your staff to guide me.

  16. They comfort and console me. You prepare a table before me in

  17. the presence of my enemies. You have anointed and refreshed

  18. my head with oil, Hallelujah, and my cup overflows.

  19. Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me

  20. all the days of my life, and I shall dwell forever throughout

  21. all my days in the house and in the presence of the Lord.

  22. Hallelujah. And so we have gone through

  23. Psalms 23 and we have went Scripture line upon line, so to

  24. speak, precept upon precept, breaking out every verse in

  25. here. And last week we stopped on

  26. realizing that He has anointed us.

  27. Amen. He has anointed us and what that

  28. anointing was for, Amen. And we realized that that

  29. anointing was to break off, come on every yoke of bondage.

  30. It it was the anointing, the burden, removing power of God,

  31. Hallelujah. And that's what the anointing

  32. was there for, which came with the word fatness, right?

  33. We talked about that and so it's very important that we finish

  34. out the rest of that verse because we see that we were

  35. anointed, right? But then that same verse goes on

  36. to say that our cup runs over. Amen.

  37. Our cup runs over glory to God. So the anointing is twofold.

  38. The anointing is there. Come on to break every burden

  39. and destroy every yoke of bondage that maybe have been or

  40. shouldn't be now. But sometimes we know it can

  41. happen again, that we're yoked back into something, right?

  42. Or we have been burdened into something and it's become a

  43. stronghold in our life again. But the anointing is always

  44. there to be able to come and break that off of you, Amen.

  45. And it's in you, It's in you, Amen.

  46. So again, we have to recognize not only was there an anointing,

  47. right, but that anointing also can represent your cup

  48. overflowing. Your cup overflowing, meaning

  49. the anointing also can bring a full supply in your life.

  50. The anointing is there so that your cup never does have to run

  51. dry. Amen.

  52. So that it never has to run dry so that so to speak, you can

  53. always live a full life. You can always live a full life.

  54. You can live in the fullness of God with a full supply of

  55. everything that we have need of everything.

  56. Amen that remember the very first scripture.

  57. He says the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not what what and it

  58. said that we shouldn't have to want for any good thing.

  59. We shouldn't have to lack in any good thing.

  60. So again, the reason why is because we have an anointing to

  61. be able to tap in to receive come on a full abundance or a

  62. supply so that our cup will never have to run dry.

  63. Hallelujah that we can stay full of oil.

  64. Hallelujah, glory to God, we can stay full and you know, he even

  65. this is just a side note, just because it came up by the Holy

  66. Ghost is we talked about the virgins that in the in the hour

  67. that we ought to be keeping our what our lamps full of oil and

  68. who's responsible for that we are.

  69. He's given us the anointing so that at all times we can tap

  70. into that anointing and keep that oil flowing fresh.

  71. Hallelujah. It's always can be fresh in our

  72. life and all we have to do is stir it up, right?

  73. All we have to do is stir up that anointing that is already

  74. been given to us. Hallelujah, glory to God, so

  75. that we can always stay full. Come on.

  76. We don't have to be tired. We don't have to be rundown.

  77. We don't have to be burdened with all kinds of cares in this

  78. life. We don't have to be concerned

  79. about situations. Know what we need to learn to do

  80. is just stir up the oil on the inside of us.

  81. Stir it up, tap into the well of oil that's right there.

  82. That bubbling brook. Glory to God, that fool's gold.

  83. Come on. What is that old show?

  84. You know, green anchors, the Beverly Hillbillies, the black

  85. gold Texas tea. Am I showing my I'm 19 here,

  86. guys. Anyway, so we ought to be

  87. stirring up the oil that's been given to us and keeping it

  88. fresh, Amen. Keeping it fresh.

  89. And at any time it seems like it's running dry, we can just

  90. tap into it, Amen. Tap into it.

  91. Glory to God. So he lets us know, listen, my

  92. cup runs over. It's running over, living in the

  93. overflow. We're going to sing that at the

  94. end. It just came up, so get ready,

  95. Tabitha. Live and chance.

  96. Living in the overflow. This is what this means.

  97. My cup runneth over. Come on.

  98. This is what this means, that we should be living in this flow of

  99. the spirit, the anointing that's been given to us.

  100. Hallelujah. And so another meaning for cup

  101. is also portion. It also means portion.

  102. You know what this means? We all have a portion that's

  103. been given to us. Nobody has more of a portion

  104. than anybody else. We've all been given a portion.

  105. We've all been given also. This means portion.

  106. Here. We can also say we've all been

  107. given an inheritance. This is our inheritance.

  108. This is our portion. This is what's been allotted to

  109. us. This is what this is meaning,

  110. that we've all been given a portion, we've all been given an

  111. inheritance, we've all been allotted something from God that

  112. belongs to us and He wants it to be in the overflow.

  113. He wants it to be in abundance. Hallelujah.

  114. Whatever the portion is, He wants an abundance of it in your

  115. life. Hallelujah, glory to God.

  116. So that is what this means by my cup.

  117. This cup, it's my portion, my inheritance, something that has

  118. been allotted to me, that belongs to me or to every child

  119. of God. Hallelujah.

  120. Now let's look at Psalm 16. It says the Lord is the portion

  121. of mine inheritance and of my cup.

  122. Thou maintainest my lot. Hallelujah, glory to God.

  123. Now let's look at that in the amplified.

  124. I want to read it out of the amplified because this is really

  125. what I want you to get. The Lord is the portion of my

  126. inheritance, my cup. Here it is.

  127. He's all I need. See, He is your portion.

  128. The fact that we've been given Him, He is our portion.

  129. He is our inheritance. He is our everything.

  130. Everything that He has belongs to us.

  131. Hallelujah. Everything that He has belongs

  132. to us. Glory to God.

  133. So He is all I need. He is all.

  134. Every human heart is looking for one thing, and that is for God

  135. Himself to fill it up. And when He fills it up, He

  136. wants it overflowing. He don't want you barely

  137. thinking you're saved. No, He wants you to know,

  138. without a shadow of a doubt, come on, that you belong to Him.

  139. That he is your Shepherd. And you hear his voice come on,

  140. and no other you will follow. And so he says.

  141. He is all I need. Listen to what it says.

  142. You support my lot in the Amplified.

  143. You support my lot. You know what that means?

  144. Whatever that has been a portion to me as my inheritance, he

  145. supports it. Glory to God, we got child

  146. support happening right here on a whole nother level that he

  147. said he'd never let his seed have to beg for bread.

  148. Come on, you don't have to worry about him leaving you as an

  149. orphan for someone else to have to foster you or take care of

  150. you because he fully supports his children.

  151. Glory to God, you have a portion.

  152. I haven't heard one. Amen from my biggest

  153. cheerleader. Oh glory to God.

  154. OK, I may need to do that and get A and get something.

  155. I can turn it down when I want to.

  156. Anyway, let's go to Psalms 142 before I get in trouble.

  157. Verse five. He might do another cartwheel up

  158. here to try to prove me wrong. If you, if you know, you know,

  159. if you, if you weren't here, you missed it on Sunday.

  160. So Psalms 42 five says this. I cried out to you, O Lord, I

  161. said, you are my refuge, my portion in the land of the

  162. living. So we don't have to wait till we

  163. die to get to heaven to get our blessed inheritance.

  164. And in the sweet by and by. Come on.

  165. No, there's a portion and an inheritance right here in the

  166. land of the living that belongs to us.

  167. And it's an overflowing portion, an overflowing inheritance that

  168. belongs to us. Glory to God.

  169. And then let's look where it says my portion in the land of

  170. the living. See portion here also means

  171. broad 'cause you talking about territory.

  172. Amen. Come on, there's a broad portion

  173. that belongs to us. There's a broad piece of

  174. territory that belongs to us. The earth.

  175. Come on, the meek, what shall inherit the earth?

  176. There's a portion that belongs to us, and it is broad, and it

  177. also means it is wealthy and it is an abundance of a place that

  178. belongs to us to walk into. You see all that He wants us to

  179. have in this life as believers fully supplied, fully supplied

  180. with all resources of everything that he says belongs to us.

  181. It should be overflowing in our life.

  182. You know what joy should be overflowing in our life Come on,

  183. the love of God should be overflowing in our life.

  184. The forgiveness of God should be overflowing in our life.

  185. Come on the the strength of God should be overflowing in our

  186. life, right? What the full provision of

  187. everything that we have need of should be overflowing in our

  188. life. Peace should be overflowing in

  189. our life. Everything that he says a child

  190. of God can walk in should be flowing in our life and

  191. overflowing. Amen.

  192. Because there's an abundant place that belongs to us in

  193. Christ. That's what that means.

  194. There's an abundant place that belongs to us in Christ.

  195. Psalm 66, here it is. Psalm 6612 says this.

  196. Thou has caused men to ride over our heads.

  197. We went through the fire and through the water, glory to God.

  198. But thou brought us out into a wealthy place.

  199. Hallelujah, He brought us out into a wealthy place, and that

  200. place belongs to us today. Hallelujah, it belongs to us

  201. today. Look at Philippians chapter 1,

    Philippians 1 chapter mention

  202. Philippians chapter 1 and verse 19 out of the amplified.

    Philippians 1 chapter mention

  203. This has been a scripture that I've meditated on.

  204. I've brought this up multiple times in I've ministered on it

  205. in the last few years and in our prayer times.

  206. I've brought it up multiple times, Philippians 119 and the

  207. amplified says it this for I know with confidence that this

  208. will turn out for my deliverance and spiritual well-being through

  209. your prayers and the Super abundant supply of the Spirit

  210. because remember, we're still talking about a supply of the

  211. spirit or the anointing the oil, come on.

  212. So there is a super abundant supply of the Spirit of Christ,

  213. which upholds me, glory to God. So you know what that means.

  214. No matter what we're walking through, come on, if we'll just

  215. go and call out to the Lord, our Good Shepherd, our Great

  216. Shepherd, come on, the Chief Shepherd.

  217. In situations and times that we're going through through

  218. prayer, all we need to know is there is a super abundant supply

  219. of the Spirit during that time in your life, an overflowing

  220. supply for you in that season in your life or whatever difficulty

  221. you may be going through, Whatever situation you may go

  222. through, if you will just call on the name of the Lord and tap

  223. in to the supply of the Spirit, Hallelujah.

  224. You'll walk through it as if it never affected you, Hallelujah.

  225. All because of the anointing upon your life when you tap into

  226. it. Hallelujah.

  227. Now look at Second Corinthians, Second Corinthians Chapter 9 and

    2 Corinthians 9 chapter mention

  228. verse 8. This is that supply of the

  229. Spirit that he's talking about. 2nd Corinthians 98 it says, and

  230. God is able to make all grace, every favor because we're going

  231. to be talking about that in a minute.

  232. All grace, every favor and earthly blessing come to you in

  233. what? An abundance, an abundance.

  234. So there is a full supply, an abundant supply of grace because

  235. grace is attached to the Spirit. They're inseparable.

  236. Grace is attached to the Spirit. Hallelujah.

  237. So you will be able to tap into the Spirit of God, which will

  238. burst forth the grace of God in an abundant supply.

  239. And whatever you're going through, and look what He says,

  240. every favor and earthly blessing will come to you in an abundance

  241. so that you may always say always under all circumstances,

  242. say all circumstances, regardless of the need, Say it.

  243. Come on, have complete sufficiency in everything.

  244. Hallelujah. That is that full supply, a

  245. complete sufficiency in everything that you have need of

  246. for what? What every circumstance

  247. regardless. If you'll just call on the

  248. shepherd, Hallelujah. Oh, if you'll call on him.

  249. If you'll just call on his name and say, Lord, I need a full

  250. supply of your grace, Come on. I need to tap into this

  251. anointing during this situation instead of letting it get us

  252. down. Come on, let the anointing

  253. bubble up from the inside. Glory to God and help you ride

  254. over it like an edifice and rise up with wing wings like an

  255. eagle. Come on and let him be your

  256. strength and soar over the circumstance and situation.

  257. Hallelujah. This is what Psalms 23 is

  258. talking about. Amen.

  259. And so he says for every thing you'll have a full sufficiency

  260. being completely self-sufficient.

  261. Oh, I like that. self-sufficient in him.

  262. Not self-sufficient and relying on your own works on your own

  263. self, but self-sufficient and relying on the grace of God and

  264. the supply of the anointing so that it can overflow in your

  265. life. Come on, glory to God and have

  266. an abundance for every good work and act of charity.

  267. Look at that, anything that God is needing for us to do this is

  268. in relation and why your cup can overflow where you think there's

  269. lack. He's all sufficient so that I

  270. can believe Him, so that my cup, come on, can overflow, so that I

  271. can do what it is that needs to be done for Him.

  272. For every good work, then He's asking us to partake in

  273. Hallelujah. Glory to God.

  274. He wants us. He wants our cup overflowing.

  275. Come on, put your hands like this cup.

  276. It isn't that what it's called. And every time you get in a

  277. circumstance or a situation, just cup your hands and say,

  278. Lord, I'm going to look at the cup here and imagine it

  279. overflowing. I'm not going to look at it

  280. being empty. And I'm not going to look at it

  281. being half full. No, I'm going to look at it as

  282. overflowing. Hallelujah.

  283. This is just a little reminder, you know, these things are

  284. actually practical, relevant teachings for your everyday

  285. life. And I can guarantee you if the

  286. Holy Ghost would remind you of these things during situations

  287. and you actually apply it, guess what's going to happen?

  288. You're going to have the victory because His Spirit lives within

  289. me so I can walk. Come on, it's my victory.

  290. It's my victory. It is your victory.

  291. The fact that the Holy Spirit can remind you of the word of

  292. God can remind you of things I'll never forget when we were

  293. youth pastors. And you know, Pastor Earl is

  294. still even creative today where he's doing cartwheels and riding

  295. bikes through the sanctuary and, you know, all kinds of

  296. demonstrations. Those demonstrations are to get

  297. charged within you for a practical teaching so that you

  298. can live it out and the Holy Ghost can remind you.

  299. Now wait a minute. What did Pastor Earl say about

  300. that bike when he was riding through about if your faith

  301. seems a little shaky because you hadn't really been in faith in a

  302. while, but you can hop on that bike again and just start

  303. peddling. Come on.

  304. And the more you peddle, the stronger your faith can get.

  305. Glory to God. But anyway, I remember you know

  306. him as youth pastors and we would use all kinds of crazy

  307. things to try to lodge into teenagers brains, you know,

  308. praise the Lord and there was a drink.

  309. So be is there still drinks that those drinks today Sobeys Well,

  310. it was really popular, popular, you know, when he was youth

  311. pastoring then back years ago. And so he would bring those that

  312. he brought that drink up Sobey and had a message on so be it,

  313. so be it means yes, whatever the Amen, so be it means Amen.

  314. So whatever the Lord has said, so be it.

  315. We can do it, right? And I mean, you would, I mean,

  316. those teenagers come and then I think you even brought Sobeys

  317. for some of them to drink and stuff that night.

  318. But I'm going to tell you for years they would come up and

  319. remember that Sobeys. So be it.

  320. Amen. Yes, Lord, you can do it.

  321. So your cup needs to overflow. So next time a situation takes

  322. place, cup your hands and call on the name of the Lord.

  323. Come on. So John 1010 says that the thief

  324. comes only in order to steal, kill and destroy.

  325. But listen to what he says. But I came that you may have

  326. life and have it in what abundance to the full, the

  327. amplified says until it overflows.

  328. So he's all about living in the overflow.

  329. He's all about it, Amen and so we need to get all about it and

  330. the way we're going to live in abundant supply of everything

  331. and all sufficiencies is if we start believing it, Amen.

  332. And then we start acting on it. Wait a minute here.

  333. The Lord said I should be living in the overflow, that everything

  334. should be increasing in my life and there should be an overflow

  335. in my marriage. Come on, there should be an

  336. overflow with things that's going on in our lives that you

  337. know what? There should be grace and favor

  338. that is abounding for everything that we are doing.

  339. Hallelujah. Because this is how He wants us

  340. to live. Now look at the next point.

  341. It says this Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the

  342. days of my life. And why is this important when

  343. he says to make every fake grace, to make every favor

  344. abound to you? Because that's what mercy right

  345. brings. It is undeserved favor, favor,

  346. and so that's what this means his goodness, his favor, his

  347. loving kindness, his goodness and his mercy will follow me all

  348. the days of my life. So if you are walking because we

  349. already saw, you know the the requirements of walking and

  350. being led by him. If you're being led by him and

  351. you're walking in his righteousness, then you can be

  352. confident. Come on, that the annoying team

  353. will be there, that your abundant supply will be there,

  354. and that you can have confidence that his favor is upon your

  355. life, that his favor is upon your life.

  356. That's his mercy, his favor, his goodness, his loving kindness.

  357. It is upon your life and you can have confidence in that and that

  358. it's going to follow you everywhere you go.

  359. That means when you go to the grocery store, you're going to

  360. have favor. They're going to, I don't know

  361. why, but you know what you need to get?

  362. You need to get two of these. You know, I just don't know why.

  363. I just want to give them to you whatever favor or you go to get

  364. a car and the car dealership, you know, I mean, I can tell you

  365. a many of people that's gotten cars and favor has been there

  366. upon their life because they believed for it where they

  367. couldn't have got a car come on, but favor was there.

  368. It followed them. It followed them.

  369. Hallelujah follows all the days of my life, Psalms 13, five and

  370. six, it says. But I have trusted and relied

  371. and been confident in your loving kindness and your

  372. faithfulness. My heart shall rejoice and

  373. delight in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord because

  374. listen, He has dealt bountifully right with me.

  375. That's that abundance, that's that goodness, that's that

  376. faithfulness, That's that favor, that's that mercy.

  377. Hallelujah, that belongs to us, belongs to us, but we can be

  378. confident in it when we're trusting and relying on Him.

  379. Psalms 13, Five and six out of the amplified.

  380. It says it this way. I have trusted and relied on and

  381. been confidence in your loving kindness and your faithfulness.

  382. My heart shall rejoice and delight in your salvation.

  383. I will sing to the Lord because He has dealt bountifully with

  384. me. Is that the same?

  385. 10 Sorry, I read it twice and put it on there twice.

  386. OK, let's move on. Limitations.

  387. Limitations. Chapter 3, verses 22 through 25

  388. says it this way. It is because of the Lord's

  389. loving kindness that we are not consumed, because His tender

  390. compassion never fail. They are new every morning.

  391. Great and beyond measure is your faithfulness.

  392. The Lord is my portion and my inheritance, says my soul.

  393. Therefore I've hoped in him and wait expectantly for him.

  394. The Lord is good to those who wait confidently for him and to

  395. those who seek Him. On the authorities of God's

  396. Word. Hallelujah.

  397. On the authority of God's Word. See, that's what we rest in, the

  398. authority of God's Word and what He says belongs to us as our

  399. portion. And that this goodness and this

  400. favor and this mercy and this loving kindness is running me

  401. down. It's always there, always there

  402. running us down. Hallelujah.

  403. And we can be confident in that. We should have confidence in

  404. that. Philippians One and Six says

  405. this. I am convinced and confident of

  406. this very thing, that he who has begun a good work in you will

  407. continue to perfect and complete it until the day of Christ,

  408. until the time of His return. So we can be confident that no

  409. matter what's going on, when we call on the Lord as our

  410. Shepherd, come on, He's always there trying to make every

  411. effort for us in every situation so that it benefits us, that it

  412. benefits us. Hallelujah.

  413. And whatever it is that we are needing and we can be confident

  414. that until he returns, listen, he's working this thing out for

  415. our behalf. He's working it out.

  416. If we'll just continue to trust in Him and be confident in what

  417. He is doing in our life. Hallelujah.

  418. So let's go to the next and last point.

  419. We're going to get done early, maybe until we get into the

  420. overflow anyway. So the next point is I love this

  421. because this we could talk about and get into with the overflow,

  422. but here it says I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

  423. OK, I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

  424. This means dwell. We know what this it means to

  425. sit, to remain, to abide. That's what this means to dwell.

  426. It means to dwell, it means to sit, it means to remain in that

  427. seat and it means to abide in. So he's letting us know, listen,

  428. we are going to sit, we're going to remain, we're going to dwell,

  429. we're going to abide in the House of the Lord forever.

  430. We could say it this way. Two, we could say that it is His

  431. habitation. It's where He makes His home.

  432. And we already know that we are carriers.

  433. Come on, we are carriers. He made His abode within us.

  434. Praise God, so I don't have to wait till I get to heaven to be

  435. able to dwell in His house. I don't have to wait till I get

  436. to heaven and to the mansion. Come on to be in His presence

  437. and dwell and abide with Him every day because He's made His

  438. habitation within our hearts. Glory to God, so every day I get

  439. to abide in Him. I get to abide in the vine.

  440. I get to abide and habitate with Him.

  441. Come on and spend time with Him and sit in His presence.

  442. I can remain in His presence at all times.

  443. Hallelujah. Glory to God.

  444. And what this is talking about really is the fact that we are

  445. in union with Him. We are one with Him as He is one

  446. with the Father. Because the Holy Spirit lives in

  447. our hearts, because we are born again.

  448. We've called on the name of the Lord.

  449. He came to dwell on the inside of man, not in a temple any

  450. longer. Come on.

  451. But He came to dwell back inside man again.

  452. And so therefore, listen, we get to continually be in union with

  453. him. And you know, that was Jesus's

  454. prayer, that we would become so unified, we would become so one

  455. with Him. And that is the only way we will

  456. become one with Him. If we learn how to dwell in His

  457. presence, if we learn how to sit and abide and remain in His word

  458. and in His presence, being one with His will, being one with

  459. His word, come on being one with Him in all realms of our life,

  460. spirit, soul and body, the complete habitation in union

  461. with Him in His presence at all times.

  462. Hallelujah. So let's look at a couple of

  463. things. Psalms 91.9 reads it this way.

  464. Because you have made the Lord listen, because you have called

  465. on the Lord as your shepherd. He says, because you have made

  466. the Lord your refuge, the Most High, your habitation.

  467. There's that word. And then Psalms 91 and one says

  468. this. We know this.

  469. He who dwelleth, this is that same word.

  470. He who dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall

  471. abide under the shadow of His wings.

  472. Hallelujah. There's no hiding place like in

  473. His presence. There's no hiding place like in

  474. His presence, in His habitation. Come on up underneath the shadow

  475. and the protection of His wing. Just sitting there up underneath

  476. His authority and His power and His love and everything that He

  477. is the full weight of who who he is that you get to participate

  478. with and be in his presence with.

  479. Praise God, we no longer have to go through the priest, glory to

  480. God to be into his presence. Come on, the veil was torn, it

  481. was rent. Glory to God.

  482. We no longer have to send a priest in on our behalf that

  483. could die having bails on his feet.

  484. Glory to God, we get to come and habitat in His dwelling, all

  485. times in His presence. Come on and abide with Him

  486. forever. Forever.

  487. What an honor, what a privilege. And how many of us are really

  488. taking advantage of that? How much of us are really taking

  489. advantage of us being able to get into his presence where he

  490. knows everything inside and out about you because you've spent

  491. time in union with him, in communion with him, dwelling in

  492. His presence, spending time. We're going to see.

  493. Look what it says in the secret place.

  494. Of the most high the dwelling place, Psalms 90 and one says

  495. this Lord, I thou has been our dwelling place in all

  496. generations. See he's been there for all

  497. generations for people to dwell with.

  498. That's what he wanted when he created man in Genesis.

  499. He wanted man to be one with him and in union with him and spend

  500. time with Him and fellowship and communion.

  501. He would come in the cool of the day and be in His presence.

  502. That's what he wanted for man. And then we know man disobeyed

  503. and the Holy Spirit had to depart.

  504. The glory had to depart. The full weight of who he was

  505. had to depart from man because of sin.

  506. But he always wanted to be back in communion with man.

  507. He always wanted to be back with man.

  508. That's why he would be. He had the tents come on and it

  509. would move around so the presence of God could be there.

  510. Come on. That's why he wanted there to

  511. build the temple, so that the presence of God could be back

  512. with man. And then that's why he sent his

  513. son come on as the living sacrifice, Hallelujah, so that

  514. he could come and dwell back in man and be with man again and

  515. commune with man again and have a relationship with him again

  516. with no more separation. Glory to God, so that the glory

  517. of God, the full weight of who he was, could be Hallelujah,

  518. back with us. What an honor, what a privilege.

  519. Hallelujah. John 14 tells us about this in

  520. verse 23. It says Jesus answered, If

  521. anyone really loves me, he'll keep my word and my Father will

  522. love him, and he will come to him and make our dwelling place

  523. with him or make his abode with him.

  524. If you really love him, Hallelujah, if you keep his

  525. word, then my Father will love him and will come to him and

  526. make a dwelling place with him. First.

  527. John 415 says this. Whoever confesses and

  528. acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him

  529. and he in God. We have come to known by

  530. personal observation and experience, and have believed

  531. with deep, consistent faith, the love which God has for us.

  532. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God,

  533. and God abides continually in Him.

  534. Here it is verse 17. In this union and fellowship

  535. with Him, love is completed and perfected within us so that we

  536. may have confidence in the day of judgment with assurance and

  537. boldness. Fate to be able to face Him

  538. because as He is, so are we in this world.

  539. Hallelujah. Glory to God to be in union with

  540. him, to be one with him, to know that he's came and made his

  541. dwelling place and his habitation back in you again.

  542. Glory to God. That is such a privilege and

  543. such an honor that we get, that we get.

  544. Come on, let's not take this for granted.

  545. The fact that we can be in communion with the Lord

  546. Almighty, the ruler, the creator of heaven and earth.

  547. Hallelujah, glory to God. Now let's look.

  548. It says in Revelations, the last two scriptures, Revelations

    Revelation 3 chapter mention

  549. chapter 3 and verse 20 and 21, it says this and the amplified

  550. behold, I stand at the door of the church and continually

  551. knock. If anyone hears my voice and

  552. opens the door, I will come in and eat with him.

  553. I will restore him and he with me.

  554. He who overcomes the world through believing that Jesus is

  555. the Son of God, I will grant to him the privilege to sit beside

  556. me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down beside my

  557. Father, his throne. The fact that we get to sit at

  558. the right hand of the Father, and he says, behold, what is it?

  559. I stand at the door. He is.

  560. I will come and eat with him. That word is Sup.

  561. That word is Sup in the King James.

  562. I'll come Sup with him. You know what that means?

  563. I'll come and spend time with him.

  564. I'll come and dwell with him. I'll come and habitate with him.

  565. I'll come and abide in him. I'll come and spend time with

  566. him. And what are we eating?

  567. We're eating the words of life. We're eating the word of God

  568. that are coming out of his mouth.

  569. Glory to God, we are supping with him.

  570. We are spending time in his presence.

  571. Hallelujah. And the fact that we get that

  572. honor and privilege, those that have called all from the Lord as

  573. their shepherd, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

  574. And listen to my last Scripture says this in Revelations Chapter

    Revelation 7 chapter mention

  575. 7 and verse 17. It says for the Lamb on the

  576. throne will be there. He will always be our shepherd,

  577. always be our shepherd. He never wanted us to be without

  578. a shepherd. I said this before.

  579. He said I'm the great, I'm the shepherd.

  580. I'll lay down my life for the sheep.

  581. And then we know He laid his life down.

  582. And he said those who are my sheep will hear my voice.

  583. But then he also said, now I'm going to give you shepherds

  584. after my heart. See, it wasn't just good enough

  585. that he left and left the Holy Spirit.

  586. He still wanted you to have a shepherd in the earth, which is

  587. a pastor. One that will feed the flock,

  588. one that will tend for the flock, one that will protect the

  589. flock from the wolves. Come on.

  590. One that will be there and fight for the sheep.

  591. Come on, He still wanted you to have a shepherd in the earth,

  592. even though he even left the Holy Spirit.

  593. And then not only that, he says I'm going to be the shepherd on

  594. the throne to you. So you're never going to get

  595. away from him being your shepherd.

  596. Hallelujah, Never, never. So for the Lamb on the throne

  597. will be their shepherd, and guess what he's still going to

  598. do? He's going to lead them to

  599. springs of life, giving water, and God will wipe away every

  600. tear from their eyes. Hallelujah.

  601. Glory to God, glory to God. We have a Good Shepherd that

  602. wants to lead his people. Come on into places of an

  603. abundance supply. He wants to come and commune and

  604. be in union with you. He wants you to not have to lack

  605. any good thing. He wants to lavish you with an

  606. anointing. Come on.

  607. He wants to feel your cuts to overflowing.

  608. He wants you to be able to have a complete sufficiency in this

  609. life for everything you need. No lack, No lack of peace.

  610. Come on, no lack of love. If you're feeling unloved, guess

  611. what? There is a full supply of His

  612. love. Glory to God, He will love you.

  613. He will smother you with His love.

  614. Hallelujah. Because He wants you to live in

  615. the overflow. He wants your cup overflowing in

  616. every area of your life, every area so that you can have joy,

  617. so that you can have peace, so that you can walk every day

  618. knowing what do I have to worry about?

  619. He is my shepherd. Glory to God, He is leading me,

  620. He is guiding me, He's filling me up.

  621. Come on, He's doing everything so that His mercy and His

  622. goodness is following me all the days of my life.
