  1. Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith.

  2. Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.

  3. Now enjoyed this message. Well, tonight, I want to talk to

  4. you because I'm not preaching on love, but I'm not going to lie.

  5. This is a little bit of a setup. So what I'm going to preach

  6. tonight, probably going to show back up somewhere because I

  7. cannot do love till next week. So I have to preach and I said

  8. dad what do I say? It's just one service because

  9. I'm really ready to preach on love and he says you just say

  10. this. he said, like, the father, Now look what Jesus said in Luke

    Luke 2:49

  11. 2:49. He said, why do you seek me?

  12. Did you not know that I must be about?

  13. My father's business. As a pastor for in this

  14. location, 18 years pioneering. This church started it right but

  15. been in Ministry for almost three decades now.

  16. Okay, one thing that is becomes quite grieving to my ears is to

  17. hear Christian cliche. Okay, and that is I'm a follower

  18. of Jesus. But they don't even know what

  19. Jesus did. They don't even know who he is,

  20. other than he died on the cross and Rose from the grave.

  21. They don't know what he sounds like.

  22. For many of them, he's this mystical figure, to be honest

  23. with you, that just comes in swoops in and takes care of a

  24. problem when the problems really there, and then sweeps away.

  25. Now, you need to understand this in the world, the majority of

  26. Believers are going to function, like most documented, Covenant

  27. children are, and I'm told my, in the Bible, we have a whole

  28. history book of Covenant children, and how they function

  29. with the god that's not in the earth that they can't see based

  30. upon the spirit and that is when Trouble Comes.

  31. They go to him. He that is going to be the

  32. majority of the children of God in the earth, unfortunately.

  33. Even today. When tragedy hits we go to God.

  34. Now I'm be honest with you, it was I was excited, I didn't see

  35. it. Personally, Pastor, Mark text

  36. me. I was away from the TV

  37. concerning the Monday Night Football game.

  38. All right, but because that athlete at 24 was in a condition

  39. that no one can help. There's still an awareness that

  40. somebody outside us can. And those that believed did what

  41. should be done in tragedy, cry out.

  42. I mean, I saw a clip, my wife show me clip today of literally

  43. on ESPN there, praying, Now, they didn't say his name.

  44. They said it is name. Now I know who his name is, but

  45. not everybody on ESPN, it's listening knows the name.

  46. So we need to say today. Just say the name.

  47. Okay, Mike, but I applaud at MIT, at least and that

  48. particular athlete. This is how people respond in

  49. tragedy. He had a foundation for his

  50. hometown to raise toy to get toys because he was in poverty.

  51. He had raised three thousand dollars We see this incident

  52. within 24 hours, 5 billion dollars was raised.

  53. Now at the end of the day, the foundation is going to do it for

  54. a good cause but my oh my and I'm like the guy has to die on

  55. the field to get the money. The vision and the purpose

  56. wasn't enough, a tragedy had to show up.

  57. He basically has to die. Come back, die again and now

  58. he's in critical condition. So I know those are guilt

  59. offerings. Because all the world feels

  60. guilty about things going on in their lives.

  61. Now there's nothing wrong. I've know nothing about the

  62. individual, I applaud again that at least our nation.

  63. Once again again, when 9/11 hit we're going to pray.

  64. I mean when tragedy we gonna pray, you know, mass shooting

  65. out of school. We gonna pray all of a sudden we

  66. I mean, why don't we do? Think we have to understand that

  67. we got to get a remnant of us that know who we are and

  68. function in the father's business.

  69. All the time and not wait till tragedy shows up.

  70. Because when you're about the father's business, we can

  71. actually thwart some things even To help the process he meant.

  72. And I pray he recovers and we may never know the truth of what

  73. happened in the first place. And honestly, whatever.

  74. I mean, it's his own personal medical issue.

  75. I don't need to know, I just pray that there's something

  76. there that the Lord definitely would but at the end of the day

  77. that's between him and God. Now, right, and people are

  78. interceding, I get it and we pray for the family but you

  79. know, there are plenty of people that Are having tragedies.

  80. I mean you know how many murders are taking place right now.

  81. Right now you're not many people are going to die tonight.

  82. I mean there's a left going on in Chicago right now and

  83. Detroit. Where's the vigils?

  84. Perspective. Good news, is our nation still

  85. knows. There is something bigger

  86. outside them, but the church has not done a great job in the US.

  87. To demonstrate what Jesus did. And that's because we want to go

  88. to heaven. And the Lord really wants to

  89. keep us in the planet. For a purpose, because Heavens,

  90. not what, we're trying to gain sonship is what we're trying to

  91. gain, right? So again, let's look at this

  92. Luke 2:49 and he said to them. Now, Jesus is a youth.

    Luke 2:49

  93. Okay. He's not an adult at this time.

  94. And as, you know, they went into town and Joseph, and Mary

  95. thought he was with relatives. So when they were all leaving,

  96. they thought he was with someone else and they get three days in,

  97. and realize, Jesus is not around.

  98. So then have to go back to town and they're looking all over the

  99. place for him and find him in the synagogue.

  100. Now he's in the synagogue with the, you know, those that were

  101. teachers of the law and he's explaining to them.

  102. What the scripture means and they are blown away, okay?

  103. Now that tells us then Jesus was a studier of scripture.

  104. I'm a follower of Jesus, Jesus studied scripture.

  105. So if you're a follower of Jesus, the first thing you have

  106. to do is you have to study scripture, because Jesus

  107. literally says that he found himself in Scripture, it was as

  108. he was reading the word, he began to realize, that's me, I

  109. am this. They're talking about me.

  110. He is the The man who knew no sin who became saying he is the

  111. Son of God. He had the he he was without sin

  112. in that timeframe. There was a opportunity for him

  113. to have scripture no issue. He had no sin context.

  114. Although when I say that he was tempted on all accounts like us

  115. but his his life was alive so he could understand the word.

  116. And begin to find himself and he studied it and he knew it.

  117. As a teenager and are teenagers are very proficient at

  118. Tick-Tock. But we're follower Jesus.

  119. Are you hearing me, okay. So Jesus says didn't, you know

  120. that I'd be about my father's business.

  121. Well, what's the father's business?

  122. When that be a good question to ask.

  123. What is the father's business? I mean, we have so many

  124. assumptions going on in the church today that we're assuming

  125. we know exactly what's going on. And I have come to find out.

  126. There are just some really very basic things that will cause you

  127. to be absolutely devastating for the kingdom of darkness and a

  128. champion for God. But the problem is it's just not

  129. glamorous. There's no glamour about.

  130. It doesn't fit the American mold of what church should be.

  131. But God is not concerned about that.

  132. God's concerned about his way of communicating demonstrating his

  133. kingdom. And Jesus is the example yet, we

  134. call ourselves followers are, you know, the church in general

  135. and say I'm followers of Christ, but we don't do what Jesus did.

  136. So Jesus obviously was a study of scripture.

  137. We know this because when he was tempted of the devil, what could

  138. he say it is written? So we know how Jesus attacks the

  139. devil he doesn't cry. He never once prayed to the

  140. father to get him off the mount the we'll get him out of the

  141. Wilderness, he never did that, he never said, no father don't

  142. you see? He's here talking to me, you see

  143. what he's doing to me? Will you get him out of my way?

  144. I mean people pray like that. Oh Lord, we got this prom Lord,

  145. just remove the problem. Lourdes like man, if he has some

  146. scripture in your mouth right now, you could take care of that

  147. problem. Because again, when you say his

  148. words, he an accident it's his power doing it but he's not

  149. doing it to you. Say something again, let me

  150. bring it down to bury Simplicity because this is not cough rocket

  151. science, okay? This is not complex when we

  152. became born again, all of the power to forgive.

  153. You of all your wrongdoing has already been paid for by the

  154. blood of Jesus that been poured out on a mercy seat.

  155. Heaven, yet, it stays, in its power position, not active in

  156. your life until you. Release some words that the

  157. Lord, through the holy spirit says, You must do in order for

  158. the power to manifest. You Must Believe in Your Heart

  159. confess with your mouth, that Jesus Christ is Lord.

  160. Now it was your mouth, your faith, you're releasing.

  161. That then caused God to get involved with that word and

  162. cause your spirit man that was dead to be driven out of your

  163. body and put a brand new spirit on the inside of you.

  164. Then the Holy Ghost came and showed up on if the inside of

  165. you and says you are a child of God.

  166. Hallelujah. Now, it's a child of God.

  167. Heaven or Earth doesn't matter. I'm the child of the king.

  168. But the power did not happen. Until I did the word.

  169. Till I believed it and said it. Now I didn't even have to

  170. understand it. I just believe I mean, how can I

  171. can't even comprehend how blood from another human being.

  172. Over 2,000 years ago, has the capacity in another realm, on a

  173. mercy, C be able to cause the spirit that was dead and could

  174. not talk to God be ripped up out of this skin suit and get a

  175. whole new one. And how that whole little

  176. Exchange took place. I couldn't see it.

  177. Although I was there, I felt it. Now when I say I felt that I

  178. didn't feel like suck up out of my body, right?

  179. And then the next one came in. I'm like I'm Different.

  180. No. I mean, it was like I'm

  181. Different. I mean, it was so quick.

  182. I mean, like a moment, the twinkling of an eye.

  183. So to save us so quick aside, dude, I know I'm Different.

  184. I am different now. Look the same on the outside and

  185. my thinking sure is still pretty jacked up, right.

  186. But I know I am different and man, if somebody came in and

  187. shot me right now, I'd be present with the Lord.

  188. I know that I don't have no guilt.

  189. I'm so I'm so light now. Even though I way to say the

  190. guilt was gone, the shame was gone.

  191. Right? I mean, it's like amazing.

  192. Then the work started. Hallelujah.

  193. Amen. Because Jesus is without sin but

  194. had to study Jesus had to speak. Okay, let's go on.

  195. So he's about his father's business.

  196. Will watch this father's business.

  197. His father's business is really easy for us to determine okay,

  198. it's not complicated. Let's go on to Luke chapter 4

    Luke 4 chapter mention

  199. Army, John chapter 14 will start in verse 6, John chapter 14,

    John 14 chapter mention John 14 chapter mention

  200. start in verse 6. Jesus said to them, I am The way

  201. the truth and the life. No one comes to the father, but

  202. through me, I love this statement because Jesus doesn't

  203. make things complicated. Well, how do you know that

  204. Jesus? The only way he said it.

  205. He said broad is the way Narrows away.

  206. Albania is, so you're so narrow-minded.

  207. Thank God. Thank God.

  208. Thank God. I mean, it doesn't take, I mean,

  209. if there was like this huge where do we get in at?

  210. But then you see this one skinny little, ah, that must be it.

  211. It's like a straight line. I mean, God, just draws a

  212. straight line. Here it is.

  213. He takes out all of the issues that make it complicated.

  214. So I am the way, not a way, he's not away, he's the way the, he's

  215. the truth because truth is not words alone.

  216. Truth is a spirit so person. Okay.

  217. He's the life, which means, if you're not with him, you're not

  218. living. Even if you're breathing.

  219. And no one comes to the father but through me if you had known

  220. me he says you would have known my father.

  221. Also for now you know him and have seen him now Philip and we

  222. know Philip had some challenges Philip said to him Lord show us

  223. the father and it is enough again.

  224. It's Jesus like wow. Okay.

  225. Verse 9. Jesus said how have I been so

  226. long with you and yet you have not come to know me.

  227. Philip That sounds like a little frustration.

  228. Now that doesn't mean it's on God.

  229. He's just like seriously. Me, how long I've been with you,

  230. Philip, and you can't figure this thing out.

  231. Really. Wow.

  232. He goes on to say this them. He says, he who has has seen me,

  233. has seen the father. How can you say show us the

  234. father? Do you not believe that I am in

  235. the father and the father is noticed that now.

  236. Do you not Then I'm in the father and the father is what in

  237. me the words that I say to you I do not speak on my own

  238. initiative but the father abiding in me.

  239. Does his work believe me that I am in the Father?

  240. The father is in me otherwise believe because of the works

  241. themselves. Understand Jesus the way he

  242. lived and the Bible says he was full of grace.

  243. So apparently Jesus. I didn't understand his own

  244. Doctrine. Because most church today, the

  245. minute, you're in Grace, you're out of Works, yet.

  246. Jesus like you don't believe me. Believe the So, there is Works

  247. associated with Grace. Grace doesn't mean we do nothing

  248. because we couldn't do nothing. Grace means you couldn't do

  249. nothing, guess what? Now you can do something.

  250. Right? I mean it's like someone

  251. unemployed, right? They don't have a job, you know.

  252. I have no money and you say, okay, fine.

  253. You're hired now you're an employee and you get up.

  254. And then they're at like, well, I can't, you're employed now.

  255. You do have you can't keep saying what you were when you

  256. were unemployed. Your employee.

  257. Obviously, when I was outside the kingdom, there's nothing

  258. that I can do to be right with God.

  259. But the blood brought me in, and now I can be right with God and

  260. do like Jesus did, which means Jesus, let's go on and read it,

  261. you know, just so we won't get. Don't throw too many things at

  262. me right now, he says this. He says, believe the works

  263. themselves verse 12. Truly, truly, I say to you.

  264. He who believes in me? The works that I do, he will do

  265. also. What did Jesus say, you're going

  266. to do? You going to have some works?

  267. And Greater Works than these. He will do cuz I go to the

  268. father, And the minute we reduce the Bible to just telling people

  269. that they need, Jesus to save them.

  270. So when they die, they go to heaven.

  271. We reduce the whole scripture to every other religion on the

  272. planet where you going to go when you die.

  273. Which at that point it's like well maybe Hinduism is right?

  274. Because we're asking the same question where you going to go

  275. when you die? Maybe Buddhism is correct

  276. because we're asking the same question, where you gonna go

  277. when you die, because there's something we have to do here, to

  278. determine what's going to happen.

  279. There. But the Lord's like I'm not

  280. asking you the question where you going to go when you die?

  281. I'm asking you do you want to become a son now, so I can come

  282. and live in you and do something in you.

  283. And demonstrate to the rest of the people that we already

  284. connected. And I don't have to get you out

  285. of there. I mean, seriously, how many

  286. people in this building right now thinks that if Jesus Christ

  287. came back to the planet started walking around, somebody could

  288. take him out? Anyone.

  289. Do we consider him the most powerful man on the planet?

  290. If God the father came down, do we think anyone can take him

  291. out? Will he be in a navigate this

  292. situation? No problem.

  293. Then why do we think we can cause this Christ in you?

  294. You have the third person of the godhead.

  295. So, there's nothing going on in the planet today that we cannot

  296. navigate because we have God on the inside of us.

  297. In fact, description is what can man do to you.

  298. In fact, Jesus said don't even be afraid of somebody kills.

  299. You don't be afraid of that. He said, what you need to be

  300. afraid of is the one who can cast into the Lake of Fire.

  301. What happens to be my daddy? Amen.

  302. Hallelujah, I'm already living eternal life.

  303. I'm leaving eternal life. Now I'm around sin because the

  304. world still in a fallen State, and they're still centered, but

  305. I'm living eternal life. He men.

  306. Now I'll get more disconnected from the effects of sin in the,

  307. the atmosphere sin as we continue to progress and it's

  308. going to be far better. There's no doubt about it, but

  309. at the end of the day, I'm alive unto God.

  310. God lives in me. I talked with him, he talks with

  311. me, I can say, things believe act and God can demonstrate

  312. through my life. I mean, really, what are we

  313. waiting on? Jesus, understood this person.

  314. I'm about I'm doing the father's business.

  315. He goes on and says, in verse 3, 13, whatever you ask in my name,

  316. I will do it. So that the father may be

  317. glorified in the son, if you ask me anything in my name, I will

  318. do it. Verse 15, if you love me, You'll

  319. keep my Commandments one translates.

  320. You'll keep my word? Well, why is that important?

  321. Because Jesus himself said in verse 10 he says I the words I

  322. say to you I do not speak on my own initiative.

  323. You know what the father's business is yet?

  324. John chapter 10. Let's start in verse 30 and John

    John 10 chapter mention John 10 chapter mention

  325. chapter 10 starting in verse 30. It says this I and the father

  326. are one, you know there's an expression chip off the old

  327. block. Right?

  328. That's like the sun is just like the father, right?

  329. Contra John kentrell y'all know who's here with our church

  330. unfortunately back years ago I think it was 2005 6 somewhere in

  331. those years. His brother and father died on

  332. the same night. His brother was a police officer

  333. and his father was riding along and he got a call and he went to

  334. turn around and he was flying down the road and a car pulled

  335. out. And to avoid it, he went out of

  336. the way and it fell into a ditch that was deep and they instantly

  337. died. So John, because I work with him

  338. a healty, he calls me and he says, Pastor, I want you to do

  339. the funeral. Now, I've never met his father

  340. or brother ever. I'm said sure man.

  341. I mean it's tragic, this is back in Oklahoma when he was living

  342. there. So, you know, I flew out met

  343. with the family and, you know, ask them questions because, you

  344. know, I'm doing a funeral for two individuals, I don't know.

  345. The only person I know is John I never met his mom.

  346. Sister, nobody family. Nothing welcomes to find out,

  347. bro. Pastor Hagen, his wife Lynette,

  348. her brother. Was related to the family.

  349. So when the funeral comes on which he's a police officer that

  350. died. So this is packed house.

  351. I mean I'm going in the funeral you know per session and there's

  352. people lined up along the road. I'm like wow Lord I need your

  353. help, you know, because I'm doing a funeral first.

  354. A couple people I personally do not know and so I'm up on it and

  355. Pastor, hey can walk in. I'm like, wow, I'm preaching a

  356. funeral in front of Pastor Hagen.

  357. Now, his whole staff was there, you know, I mean, I'm newly, you

  358. know, graduated just five years ago so I'm like you know you're

  359. like man you sure. Do you sure want to hope the

  360. president of your University hopes?

  361. You don't flop on this deal when you have no idea.

  362. How about the individuals and both caskets are out.

  363. So you know, I'd been listening and there was you know, things

  364. that was happening seeing and stuff and I'll never forget

  365. because I had nothing. I mean, I'm sitting on the

  366. platform. Nothing Thank God for the Holy

  367. Ghost. Now I'm a man of Faith so I can

  368. thrive in these situations because at the end the day I

  369. know God will not fail so you know I don't get anxious.

  370. Like I don't have nothing on. I'm like Lord I trust you I

  371. trust you I trust you. And and and it was time for me

  372. to get up, right? And then there was you know some

  373. oh how do you say it things you just have to do you know I can't

  374. think of the word right now. But anyway we did those

  375. particular elements but now it's time for me to minister and when

  376. I got up to minister the Lord says if you've seen the son,

  377. you've seen the father Because that's really what I heard.

  378. I mean, honestly, that son was just like his dad.

  379. And so, I preach that and you'd have thought that I knew them

  380. personally and everybody thought I was intimately acquainted with

  381. them. But that's the Holy Ghost,

  382. right? Thank God for the Holy Ghost,

  383. because he knows. Well, you understand, you can't

  384. separate Jesus from the father. So if you want to know, who the

  385. father is, you have to examine the sun because Jesus says

  386. you've seen the father because of me.

  387. Okay. So when he says I and the father

  388. are one, this is really important because Jesus had this

  389. desire to only function, so that when you saw him, you actually

  390. didn't see him. You saw his father I'm a

  391. follower of Jesus. Okay.

  392. So, who are we seeing When we see you.

  393. Because if I walked up to some Christians and I'm like so

  394. that's what my daddy looks like. Just say Amen.

  395. Anyway, right? I mean I know you want to

  396. humanize yourself. Well, you know, but I'm not got

  397. you're a child of God. You are in Christ as the son is

  398. in the father. You're in Jesus when the father

  399. sees you, he sees Jesus. So do you look like him?

  400. Do you look like him? Series really aggravating me.

  401. It's really been listening to way too many my conversations

  402. and like talking back. We cannot tolerate talking back.

  403. That is disrespectful. It's time for me to get a non

  404. Apple watch and wear it while I preach.

  405. Hallelujah. He said, I am.

  406. The father are one. He said, the Jews picked up

  407. stones again to Stone him. Jesus answered, I show.

  408. I showed you many good. What from the father for, which

  409. of them. Are you stoning me?

  410. The Jews. Answered him for a good work.

  411. We do not Stone you. So did Jesus?

  412. Do good works. Okay, but you blasphemy because

  413. you being a man, make yourself out to be God.

  414. Jesus answered has it. Not been written in?

  415. Or law. I say you are gods.

  416. If he called them Gods to whom the word of God came and the

  417. scripture cannot be broken. Do you say of him whom the

  418. father Sanctified and sent into the world?

  419. You are blaspheming because I said, I am the son of.

  420. I am the Son of God. If I do not do the works of my

  421. father, do not believe me. but if I do them, Though, you do not

  422. believe me. Believe the So that you may know

  423. and understand that the father is in me and I in the father,

  424. you know what, the father wants his kids to demonstrate him so

  425. much that the lost and dying world may not believe what

  426. you're saying, but it cannot refute what's happening in your

  427. life and I out of your life and the product of your life.

  428. Now again, what was the worst Jesus doing?

  429. He's only Healing The Sick casting out, Devils raising the

  430. dead multiplying fish. Right.

  431. He's only doing. But again, all those things he's

  432. doing, what did he say? He says, and I'll go ahead and

  433. jump to it. Look what it says here in John

  434. 12. Just so you understand that when

  435. Jesus is doing all those things, he says for, I do not speak on

  436. my own initiative, but the father himself who sent me has

  437. given me a command as to what to say and what to speak.

  438. I know that know that his command is what eternal life.

  439. Therefore, the things I speak, I speak just as the father Other

  440. has told me. So when he says, what do we

  441. have? Dad said, ask him.

  442. What do you have? Well, we found Five Loaves and

  443. two fish. The Lord said that's enough,

  444. that's enough. Yes, and Jesus can hear it by

  445. the spirit. So he says sit down and then the

  446. Lord said, sit down blessed start this.

  447. He gives him the plan by the spirit just because it's not

  448. audibly. Heard to the 5,000 men.

  449. Does it mean? Jesus decided?

  450. Oh, this is what I'm going to do.

  451. I'm just going to do this because Jesus is not waving a

  452. wand. Jesus is doing the business of

  453. his father. The father's business in

  454. simplest terms is just doing what he says, if you don't do

  455. what he says, then you're not about to father's business.

  456. Now, you may be about your Christianity.

  457. But you're not about the father's business because the

  458. father's business is only one business.

  459. He's only in one business. Making sure his word comes to

  460. pass. Father has one business.

  461. Making sure that his word does not return unto him void, but it

  462. shall accomplish that which it was sent to do.

  463. I'm going to prove it in the next few weeks, man.

  464. I'm telling you. The Bible says, God has even

  465. exalted his word above his own. Was tells me your name is not

  466. more important to Jesus. You want me to give you a little

  467. teaser, a little trailer for next week.

  468. God loves his word more than he loves you but we preach the

  469. Christianity of God's love is if we are the object of God.

  470. Now God loves you. Don't get me wrong.

  471. I'm not saying he doesn't love you but he loves his word.

  472. And that's his business because the king's business is to

  473. guarantee. Whatever he says.

  474. Hallelujah, come on and your Faith Church.

  475. Only go a little bit deeper. Want to get a little bit deeper,

  476. right? Let's give this a deep stuff

  477. Pastor. Okay we go give you some deep

  478. stuff. It's really not deep and my

  479. personal opinion. It's not deep.

  480. Okay but it's definitely not religious It's not religious.

  481. Okay. I love you.

  482. So again, Jesus says, look done your own law said that you are

  483. gods. And at the end of the day,

  484. you're upset at me only because what's happening?

  485. I'm only saying what gag? Dad told me to say, if Dad said

  486. that I'm his child, then I'm going to say it.

  487. I'm a Son of God has he called you that Siri talking to y'all

  488. to that sound? Will you mad.

  489. But Siri out to build, not cast her out, people, and cast her

  490. out. Alleluia maybe series to get

  491. saved and get the whole organization saved.

  492. Alleluia, and then they put the piece back in the Apple.

  493. Just kidding. There's no scriptural evidence

  494. that it was an apple, but it is interesting.

  495. That is one bite out of a fruit. I'm not here to get you in a

  496. conspiracies, just leave it alone.

  497. I have an apple soda but I'm redeemed.

  498. You hear what I'm saying? Hallelujah, Jesus was about his

  499. father's business. That's why he's in the synagogue

  500. because he wants to be around scripture because he wants to be

  501. around the word because the words life and then he only

  502. wants to say what the word says, because that creates life And it

  503. resolves problems. The father's business is not

  504. winning the Lost. The father's business is to

  505. uphold his word and for you to speak his word to someone

  506. outside his kingdom, as he instructs, you to do so.

  507. But what will cause them to do, more is when you demonstrate it.

  508. Jesus is demonstration of the Kingdom, because he had the

  509. audacity to, actually believe that him and the father were one

  510. And he believed that, when I say, what Dad says it has to

  511. happen and it did that the crowd showed up Supernatural, things

  512. took place, we have reduced Christianity to a confession.

  513. That may not even have belief with it because when you start

  514. taking so much out of the scripture, you make it religious

  515. anyway, and at the end of the day, you can say something with

  516. your mouth, but your heart be far from it and you're just a

  517. religious person. Okay, so I get concerned about

  518. people who've made, you've confess.

  519. Jesus is Lord. Because if they're not living a

  520. life in keeping with repentance as John, the Baptist said to the

  521. Pharisees, the religious ones, he said you brought a by pers

  522. who warned you of the day of judgment.

  523. And then they went talking about, you know, a you know

  524. Moses and all he said, well then we live a life in keeping with

  525. repentance, I don't see you demonstrating it.

  526. Now, you aren't running around telling everybody what to do,

  527. even Jesus said, do what the Pharisees say, but don't do what

  528. they do. Don't live their life.

  529. Because they're hypocrites. But the word they say is life if

  530. you'll believe and act on it and it will work because God always

  531. performs his word must say it again always.

  532. So don't come to me, your experience, where someone

  533. believe God his word and didn't work.

  534. You might want to question something else.

  535. Before you question God because I am amazed we say again this is

  536. religious cliche, right? God is all knowing God's without

  537. fail. God is all powerful, but ants on

  538. so was believing in. God didn't do it?

  539. Well, would it be more easy for me to think, maybe Aunt?

  540. So, and so, didn't have something?

  541. That allowed it to happen. Before blaming God.

  542. And then we take it out of context, Albany Sovereign, his

  543. ways are higher than our ways. We works in mysterious ways.

  544. No, he doesn't. No, he does not.

  545. He does not work in mysterious ways.

  546. He works in calculated ways that always come to pass.

  547. Always. But again, it's easier to

  548. develop a Doctrine when you're not in Scripture.

  549. That fits your feeling. And your unknown.

  550. Then it is to go and ask the tough questions.

  551. Hallelujah. I know some people have gone on

  552. to be with the Lord because they had hatred in their heart

  553. unforgiveness in their heart. But on their bedside, they were

  554. acting like they were believing. Okay, that's fine again.

  555. Everybody wants real Ministry to you real, right.

  556. Hey man guys, we're living in a society today that we, we are

  557. going to be the most odd looking folks on the face of the planet

  558. because we're just actually believing the word simply as it

  559. is stated. And that is an anomaly,

  560. unfortunately. But you know, God works with the

  561. remnant man, you want to be a Remnant?

  562. Then you always just want to be with God, I was talking with

  563. laura-leigh before service. I said we have a history book

  564. that I don't care how rebellious people were and how Oh, bad

  565. societies were even to the point of flooding God had somebody

  566. believing. Amen.

  567. So, just choose to be that one sound.

  568. Will be that one. I'll be of that group.

  569. I am the believing group. I am the righteous believing

  570. group. Everybody go to hell in a

  571. handbasket, but I'm the rights of the leaving group.

  572. Everybody back slide out of their Covenant.

  573. I am going to believe God, right?

  574. Because it's amazing what God can do with a little Hallelujah.

  575. So you know just because the majority seems like they're lost

  576. or the majority of the church seems like they're in error.

  577. I'm hopeful because I know what God can do with just one person.

  578. Amen. So again the father's business

  579. is to only be doing what the father says, John Chapter 14

    John 14:31

  580. verse 31 He says, but so that the world may know that I love

  581. the father. So that who may know?

  582. And we're supposed to show the world.

  583. The father or Jesus. Are we not supposed to show the

  584. world Jesus? We are ambassadors for for

  585. Christ. Paul said, imitate me.

  586. As I imitate Christ. First Corinthians, 11:1, So

  587. we're supposed to imitate him. So how did Jesus Show The World?

  588. God, the Father. I do.

  589. Exactly. I do exactly.

  590. As the father commanded me. Now notice of command from the

  591. father may not be a miracle. Dad said when I tuck in my

  592. disciples tonight I need to go to the mountain and pray.

  593. When do exactly what he said. My dad said go to the pull up.

  594. Bethesda. I'm looking for one guy,

  595. although there's a lot of people there.

  596. The guy not care for them. Sure, he did.

  597. But we have no idea what was going on.

  598. See I look across this room. Not right now and all these you

  599. as individuals, right? The Bible says, the only person

  600. who knows the spirit of the man is the spirit of the man

  601. himself. So, here's the thing, you know,

  602. your heart, you know what's going on the inside, you know,

  603. what kind of issues are going on or not?

  604. Here's another six God knows too so again we say God knows my

  605. heart. You bet he does.

  606. Most of the time though those people that they're saying that

  607. have a problem with their heart and their they say that

  608. statement as a mask but God does know.

  609. Absolutely, okay. And Jesus the Lord knows what he

  610. has spoken to you about. If you're about the father's

  611. business, you just do it. Whether anyone sees it or not?

  612. because if you can't do the private stuff for the father, I

  613. mean, he's not going to trust you.

  614. Even though it's available. Come on, you have to admit, it's

  615. pretty intimidating to be in a public place.

  616. And you think you heard God say, go snatch that person out of the

  617. wheelchair? How's that going to work?

  618. Let's go to work. Exactly as the father said, But

  619. the reality is really don't believe that.

  620. So that's why we don't snatch them out.

  621. And that's being real, right? Which means then we have to

  622. become proficient at only doing exactly what the father says.

  623. Now, we have zealous people that do all kind of stuff, but

  624. they're not hearing God, they're just trying to do what they've

  625. heard God's done. There's a difference between

  626. hearing God and doing what he said and then hearing what he's

  627. done and trying to do it yourself.

  628. That's what the seven sons of sceva did.

  629. I mean, does God not cast Devils out of people?

  630. Is that God's will? Yes.

  631. Absolutely. It's his will.

  632. And let me just throw this out. Did the disciples before it?

  633. They were born again able to cast Devils out.

  634. Yes, it's not like, it hasn't happened.

  635. Now, I understand this is ax. I understand, Jesus died on the

  636. cross Rose from the grave. I understand the New Covenant is

  637. in play here, but at the end of the day, if they firmly believe

  638. in the name of Jesus, why could they not have gotten it to work?

  639. Well, number once, they weren't authorized because Jesus

  640. authorized them to go out and do this.

  641. Which they were only doing what Jesus said.

  642. So here's the thing, What Makes Miracles easy for us.

  643. What makes operating in the miraculous easy for us?

  644. What anything Z is that we only moved when we here and here's

  645. the cool thing. God may not want you to cause a

  646. deaf person's ear to open, because he has someone else he's

  647. gonna do because he has so many kids.

  648. You don't have to single-handedly do every work

  649. that Jesus did. But you can't you should

  650. single-handedly do exactly what he tells you to do.

  651. And put that scripture back up. If the world wants to see that,

  652. the Hebb that heaven's realm exists and that there is a God.

  653. Because again, can we be honest? The majority of prayers going up

  654. for our NFL player right now the majority Have no idea whether it

  655. is going to be answered. But they know it could be

  656. because they ascribe that God can do those things. now, there

  657. are some people who know Because they know what God's saying

  658. about the situation. I don't know he's not talk to me

  659. about the situation but he could have literally, he can literally

  660. be talking to someone about the situation.

  661. Exactly what to pray, what to do.

  662. And that could be just one person on the planet right now.

  663. And that one thing is what's going to bring it to pass.

  664. Now everybody that's in generally doing it and they know

  665. that God can and they want him to do it because I get at the

  666. end of the day. Who wants people to die, right?

  667. But there's really bring the power.

  668. But so that the world may know. That I love the father.

  669. So not only is this show the father but what else is it show

  670. it shows that he loves him. Hmm, say la.

  671. The world wants to know that Jesus loves dad.

  672. I do exactly as he commanded me. Not because I say I love Dad.

  673. So the first thing you need to change in your love relationship

  674. with Jesus is saying I love you. Jesus and think that's loving

  675. him. Maybe you're not ready for this

  676. series. Oh, we've been so deceived with

  677. our own words. How many of you told someone you

  678. love them? You left them.

  679. I'm talking dating a stay with dating.

  680. I'm not talking about marriage, okay?

  681. I'm not getting over in that. I mean, I was a kid.

  682. Once I slid across a little note, And I was that kid that I

  683. knew the answer before I slid to note because if I don't know the

  684. answer, you're not getting to know.

  685. You ain't Goin. Beerus me.

  686. I have done found out. You dig me?

  687. You want some of this right here?

  688. Sure enough. Yes, I thought so all my

  689. insiders told me. Right.

  690. You like them? Come on.

  691. How many you had at least five girlfriends?

  692. Oh good. Something look.

  693. Look, your wife doesn't care. She knows there was a life

  694. before her. Yeah.

  695. I mean he had about five boyfriends.

  696. Yeah man there's more women on us than the men right now.

  697. Five, every time I had five on the side, I got you.

  698. Literally had one in every country.

  699. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it right.

  700. Right. I mean you there were someone

  701. you genuinely at that time thought I could be with this

  702. person for the rest of my life. Then would you use the words?

  703. Those three words. But they're not with you.

  704. So we think when we say I love Jesus, that means we really do.

  705. And that Jesus says, yeah, I feel it.

  706. No, Jesus says the world knows that I love that.

  707. Because I do exactly. As he, what?

  708. What translation it says, New American Standard, as he

  709. commanded me? That's a tough word in the u.s.

  710. right now. Most congregational churches you

  711. don't command me, then you don't understand the kingdom.

  712. Because the kingdom is not sure your democracy because we're not

  713. in a democracy, but you think we are so most people are

  714. functioning that way, right? It's not a democracy.

  715. I mean, you have a will but life is in his word so I'm like

  716. command me because that's life tell me something.

  717. So that I can do it. Because that's life.

  718. All right, so then John chapter 14, John 14:23, 24.

    John 14 chapter mention John 14:23

  719. Last scripture tonight says, is Jesus answering said.

  720. If anyone loves Loves who Jesus. He will.

  721. Keep my word. and, My father. Will love him and we will come

  722. to him. Oh my there's so much in this

  723. one first right here. I mean it's like eradicates most

  724. Christian Church preaching right here.

  725. I mean let's live this life, Jesus answered.

  726. If anyone conditional statement If it's a conditionals, if

  727. anyone loves me. what proves law, he keeps my word and My

  728. father says the Son and the father are one.

  729. How do you know dad loves you because you're keeping Jesus's

  730. word woman, she's word. It's the word in the beginning

  731. was the word. The word was with God and the

  732. Word was God. So I love Jesus.

  733. Keep the word. Well, they done me wrong, I

  734. don't care what they did. What does it is written?

  735. Say in this situation, keep that because you love Jesus, right?

  736. Oh, he knows I love him and keep his word when I can't do that,

  737. then you don't love him. Don't tell me, I don't love him.

  738. God knows my heart, he knows you don't love him.

  739. That's what he knows cuz you're not keeping it.

  740. Period. So quit being Faith.

  741. Being the fantasy. It's a fantasy.

  742. This is how people fall into wrong relationships because they

  743. fantasize that it's better, and it brings death.

  744. And this is why are we don't have deep convictions with God

  745. and walking. His fear is because we really

  746. think it's optional to not do what he says in any situation

  747. and we still love him. The day of God told me, this is

  748. how you prove, you love me. What how simple is that?

  749. I mean, my wife, if she literally tells me if you do

  750. this it it tells me you love me. That's simple.

  751. That's simple. And I'm tell you, I probably

  752. hadn't done that the best. I need to come up my game on it.

  753. Yeah. Because at the end of the day,

  754. if someone comes to you, to literally says this, right here,

  755. tells me, well, then you have an answer.

  756. And to not do it and try to convince them, you love them

  757. another way. And that they're actually wrong

  758. and how they. Now we're humans.

  759. So we can really be jacked up. I get that.

  760. But God is telling us and he's not a man that he shall I.

  761. So he's establishing to us. This is how I know that you love

  762. me and this is how I know the father loves you.

  763. And because at this is how I know we come to you again.

  764. Quit waiting on, trying to come to us.

  765. We're coming to you. I mean, that's the whole great

  766. thing about our relationship with the creator of Heaven and

  767. Earth is that he's like, can't wait to get down there.

  768. Can't wait to get down there, just can't wait to get in them.

  769. I mean, we preaching Christianity, can't wait to go

  770. to heaven, can't wait to go to heaven, can't wait to go, but

  771. yet the father saying can't wait to get down there.

  772. Can't wait to get with him, can't wait to be with him and

  773. he's not, I don't care that they're in a suit that's gonna

  774. still Decay and fall off and they're not in their glorified

  775. because at the end of the day, we can drop all that.

  776. I'll renew their mind as they yield to me and we'll clean that

  777. mess up. We'll get their whole soul round

  778. face and then I'll heal their body.

  779. I'll get that thing a fine running machine man and it goes

  780. State keep them in the planet as long as they're doing that

  781. purpose because I want to be right there with them, right?

  782. And they're Miss, right? Where they're at.

  783. But we don't want to do is where we just want to check out, go to

  784. heaven. Verse, I'll come to him and make

  785. our Abode with him. I wake up everyday and I go,

  786. hey, Lord. Because he's right here.

  787. The holy spirit's in me and the words in me, the word comes out

  788. of me. I wake up with the word of my

  789. mouth. That's awesome.

  790. It's can't wake up with the word of mouth if you're not in the

  791. word verse 24, he who does not love me.

  792. So, we have Clarity here. Does not keep my words.

  793. Who's defining love here. Because Jesus knows that I'm

  794. about to father's business. And the father has a one

  795. business. Doing his word.

  796. So I only do what he says. And the reason why I do what he

  797. says because when I do what he says It lets him know I love

  798. him. I love him.

  799. And the only reason why this is a problem in the Christian

  800. church, Is because before the father for Father, God was our

  801. father, we had another daddy and he was a liar, it's called the

  802. devil. And he has this way of

  803. convincing you. That if you don't get to do it

  804. your way, you're in bondage. That you've lost your freedom.

  805. That true freedom is do what you want to do because you got to

  806. take care of yourself. Jesus speaks the opposite.

  807. He says, man tries to save his life hill. but if he wants to

  808. save his life, he has to lose his life.

  809. The devil tricked. Adam I mean, not tricked him.

  810. He just told me. You said, listen, it's better to

  811. not do. What the father says.

  812. You'll be more powerful. And we lived and existence doing

  813. it. Our way fulfilling our own lust,

  814. doing our own feelings. And they had these weird because

  815. again, there are aspects that God created for us.

  816. That still feel great naturally, but in the Soul and Spirit

  817. realm, there's guilt shame. So I guess all clouded the feel

  818. so good. Mine's me an old country song.

  819. If Loving, You Is Wrong, I Don't Want to Be Right.

  820. And that's how most Christians are.

  821. Because they really just want Jesus to accept them as they

  822. are. But Jesus says, that's what I'm

  823. asking. Accept me as I am.

  824. And I would Empower you to live it my way.

  825. Because you couldn't obey me when you were dead in your

  826. trespasses and sin. Now, I made you alive and to me,

  827. you can You can literally do exactly as I ask you to do and

  828. show me all the time. You loved me.

  829. Because he who does not keep, who does not love me.

  830. Does not keep my words and the word which you hear because he

  831. says, and The Words, which you here is not mine.

  832. But the father who sent me that amazing.

  833. So again, it's like, Lord, you're telling me What to say

  834. and do and they're not even your words, their dad's words.

  835. And he loved me so much. He sent his word to deliver

  836. them, sin is worth the most powerful thing he could do for

  837. the for the human race. When they got into the rebellion

  838. was send his word. Because there's only one

  839. business that has. I will keep my word.

  840. I'll keep it. It will come to pass.

  841. I guard my word to perform it. And his words life his words

  842. truth. His word is the way.

  843. Wow. It's not complicated.

  844. So you have to ask yourself tonight.

  845. Am I about the father's business?

  846. Emma. A my keeper of his word when I

  847. say that, I'm not saying just reading scripture.

  848. I'm saying every situation that takes place you're having a it

  849. is written moment or that. I don't know what to do.

  850. So I'm coming to you because I'm about your business and this

  851. situation you have a word for me that will deliver me on all my

  852. trouble. Because you love me and I love

  853. you and I need your word to key. I need a word right now.
