The King's Authority - Good Friday

You're listening to the Anchor Faith Church message podcast

with our senior pastor Earle glisten, enjoy the message,

we're so excited. Y'all are here tonight.

We're so excited about what God is doing in his kingdom and with

his church amen. If you have your Bibles turn

over to John 18:37. I'm reading out of a translation

John 18:37

called the Darby translation. You know, we took time to Last

week to kind of talk about this highest Authority and I'm not

going to go back through it but it's had the most views.

It's crazy. How many people have watched

that video? Which is great.

I'm glad they are but they need a follow-on because there's more

than just a than just that, okay?

And so I want to talk about Authority tonight because it's

very important to know your Authority.

All right. Too often religion has taken a

truth of God and then stopped. We've said it here.

A lot of times that in essence, the cross, and I'm going to

pretend this is the cross, the cross of Jesus is the door into

the kingdom. You cannot be in God's kingdom

without the cross. What does that mean?

Jesus died on the cross, right? He shed his blood.

He took on our sin, he became our, he became the sacrifice for

all of our Disobedience. He had to die, he goes to the

Grave. Then on the third day will

celebrate its Sunday. He was resurrected.

I said, he was resurrected a many.

He's Alive forevermore. He took that blood and he Poured

it out on The Mercy, Seat in heaven, and it pays the price

for All sin. Hallelujah, so that's taken

place. So in order for us to be born

again, we must acknowledge that Jesus died on the cross.

We must believe our acknowledge that.

We are helpless. We are sinners.

We are separated from God. We cannot get to him on our own

merits. We cannot work it out, you know?

We are not able, Right. We're miserable people without

God, no matter what are we put on?

We are deficient, but the cross made away and it Bridges the

Gap. You know, if you get the little

tracks member of the Cross Bridges, the gap between the

world that's in sin, and then God and the, and the cross

Bridges. It's a man from the world can

come over to God. Amen.

Have relationship. Well, what happens is most

people save, I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross.

And I'm asking him to come into my heart and save me.

I make him Lord of my life. I want it when I die, I want to

go to heaven. I want to be with the Lord.

I want to be born again, so they get on, they come through the

door, right? I came through the door, but

then they stay at the door. They hugged the door.

They kiss the door. They stare at the door.

Now, you're in the house. Just do this.

When you go home today, go in and just stand at the door.

Seriously now just keep standing there cause when you got to go

to the bathroom, don't leave. What I'm saying is you can get

in the house and have a need, but not have the need mad

because you get stuck. At a door that the kingdom has a

bathroom for you, but unless you go seek it.

Then you're not going to have the benefit of it and then keep

standing there. So when you saw your pants right

and then your stomach, because you're hungry, Are you with me

now? Listen, anyone in the Kingdom,

can who knows? It can go to the bathroom and

say you're not coming or I'll bring you a you know something

well they help you take care of this issue so you don't mess on

yourself but God never intended for someone to go search it for

you to bring it back to you. You hungry.

I'll go to the kitchen because really if you just leave the

door man Can you come to kitchen with me?

Well, I'm not worthy. I'm just happy to get in the

door. Well, you're right, you weren't

worthy, but you've been now made worthy.

She got to change your thinking, right?

We gotta change our thinking, God never asked us to come in

the house and then stand at the door and be so ashamed that

we're in the house. because, when you came to the door of the

old self stayed outside, The nature that wants to do sin

isn't invited in the house. It stays outside is dead but you

become a new creature in Christ. You're born again and now God in

his kingdom here is saying, Hey listen, I'll help you understand

your house. I'll train you, teach you and

show you all that's available, but if you're like, yeah, but I

look at me. Look what all was.

Honey deserve to be in here. I'm looking out the window, you

know, in my door, my life is a bit.

Yes, I know, but let's forget what lies behind.

And now, let's press on to what God has for you in the kingdom

of God. Amen.

So we need to understand the authority because God's actually

given us some amen. This is completely actually.

I got a lot of parents in here again.

You'll sit down on the couch right?

And you'll say, hey I'm thirsty. And you tell one of your kids,

go get me some water. Now, what did you just do?

You just authorize them to physically?

Go into the kitchen, open, a refrigerator, grab that bottle

water, and bring it back to you and you didn't even leave the

couch. Are you with me your child to

come to you and say man? I I want a snack what are they

asking for permission, right? And they're waiting for the

authority to say, you can't. Now they don't need the

authority. I'll get it for you.

My gosh. I just sat down.

I'll get you the snack. Okay, because here's your snacks

and I'm thirsty. Okay, I'll get you something to

drink. My gosh, here's the drink.

Okay, Chinese a potty. You hear what I'm saying?

We're like running Jesus, all over the house are thinking.

If Jesus don't run through the house for us, we can't have

nothing. When Jesus say, we'll go get it

right now. I get it happens.

This is how it is with us. I'm the child, in the house,

Jesus, on the couch, right? He's paying attention to all the

things that's going on. And I'm like, King Jesus.

Can I have a sec? You say, yeah, going in the

kitchen and get it. And this happens with us, I'm

going to the kitchen. So I go into the kitchen.

And, and I'm looking for my snack but I don't know exactly

where it's at. So what do you do?

Hey, where's that snack? Brownie, let's just get

specific. Where's the brownie at?

Jesus, it's in the third covered.

Sometimes people are getting their, they're in a Direction

with God, but they don't communicate back with him and

he'll give you more specifics, he's not obligated to you.

Now, listen, when you go into the kitchen, you're going to go

to the third cabinet cause that's where the brownie is.

He just say? What Us in the kitchen.

Go get. Okay, you did and then you

realize, I don't really know where it is now that I'm in the

right place. So I keep talking but he don't

have to get up. That's what I'm saying.

And God is not getting up off the throne.

Did come down here. No, he put his spirit in you so

he could talk to you. And it's better than a cell

phone is better and zoom. Meetings is better than

FaceTime. It's better than online because

this within you, you never get a connection cut off.

You never get a drop call. You never get any of it.

You can talk to him. Hallelujah.

So there's some Authority. We need to operate in.

We need to understand. Jesus is King, Jesus is not

president, prime, minister Jesus, wasn't voted in so you're

not voting. I'm out.

But he holds all authority John 18:37.

John 18:37

The Darby translation says pilate.

Therefore said to him, then Thou Art the King.

Jesus said, thou sayest it that I am a king, I have been born

for this and for this I have come into the world that I might

bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth

hears, my voice man. Don't you want to hear the voice

of the king? Amen.

Because he is the final Authority.

His word is forever settled. We going to see here in a

minute. We In Ecclesiastes 84 says,

where the word of the king is there is power, say power.

Now, one translation says that it's authoritive, which means

when we say power it's not like Jesus is like because we tend to

think Jesus so powerful like he's like super strength stuff

when really his powers contained within the authority of his

word. Now it does do Supernatural

things don't get me wrong. But the reality is this more

important to know the authority of his power, then just that he

can break a rod heal a sick or whatever the case may be.

Are you with me? So where the word of the king

is, there's power. And Jesus says, I am a king, I'm

a king and it's been spoken all through the scripture, the king

is coming, the king is coming, the king is coming, the king is

coming, and he's coming, whether you want him to come or not,

he's coming with you agree, that he even exists or not.

And everyone everyone from Adam until the last Spirit arrives in

a child will bow before Jesus. Period.

He's King. I mean, do you believe that?

Do you truly believe Jesus is key?

Now listen, you got to get ahold of this because if you look at

Jesus through our type of government, you know, you'll

vote him out of your life and situations, you'll say he's not

Doing a good job. Okay, okay, if you view it

through, oh he gonna tell me what to do.

And don't understand his Nature's love.

And anything he says to you is for your benefit.

Amen, he loves you. He loves you.

And the way sometimes we preach about God, you would think he

was a horrible parent, a terrible dad, but you know, we

give him props because he's God, how are we going to complain

about that, right? Well, his ways are higher than

our ways according to the old Covenant, but in the New

Covenant, Paul said we can have the mind of Christ and he did

more. He said, look, I don't want it

to be a mystery. I want you to seek me and I'll

reveal The thing is, is that as Believers a lot of times, we

just don't want to know. We don't want to know because

the minute, you know, now you're responsible for and then you

realize, well, I got to do something, you know, you had to

do something to get born again. I understand Jesus did it all.

It is finished, I get that but you don't get it unless you do

something, you don't get to be born again unless you do your

part. God does not make you born

again. God gives you eternal life are

the new birth experience at the confession of your faith.

And you pulled the supernatural into you.

That's already done but you did it and if you have to do it with

being a child of God, you're going to have to do a bead and

do with power, you're gonna have to deal with prosperity or

provision to do whatever God has called you to do.

You're gonna have to deal with health and healing.

I mean ultimately that's what God wants.

Now he can use his other children to provide certain

things for you while you're younger.

Why you're growing. This is what moms do for

children all the time but ultimately God wants us to grow

up in all of us. Begin to walk in the authority

that we have. Are you with me?

So we know he has Authority because he's a king.

First of all, Jesus is King and that is not a religious

position. It's not religious guys.

It is a government. Isaiah was right on in chapter

9, verse 6 and 7, when he said a child will be born, a son will

be given and the government will rest on his shoulders.

Jesus began to preach repent. For the Kingdom of Heaven is at

hand. Are you with me?

You only get into this nation as a.

Holy One. You only get into this nation by

being born of it and you're born of it when you confess Jesus as

your Lord. Amen.

Okay so as long as we're Square now that we know Jesus king,

he's the head of the government. But we also need to know he has

the highest Authority. We talked about last week, but

let me show you a few verses again and Hebrews 6:13.

Hebrews 6:13

It says, for when God made a promise to Abraham, because he

could swear by no one greater he swore by himself.

I mean he like he can find someone say now we going to make

a covenant. Let me go find the judge so they

ratified. Oh, I am the judge.

There's no one higher than him. I said there's no one Higher and

it shouldn't be hard for believers to grasp especially

the United States because we have a thing called the Supreme

Court. We can go to court here locally.

And if that don't work out, like we believe that it should have

according to law. Because something happened, we

can do what an appeal and we can appeal it all the way to the

what the highest court of the land called the Supreme Court.

Are you with me? Well you know there's a court

higher than that. And that court has God the

father on it, Jesus Christ, the Son and the Holy Spirit and they

are taking records. Now, they have books.

They're riding they're inscribing.

Are you with me? They're going to try all

Humanity. Yeah.

That's going to happen. It is the highest court.

They have the final say. Are you with me?

Okay. Psalms 1 38 verse 2, I will

worship. Up towards your Holy Temple and

praise your name for your loving.

Kindness. And for your Truth for you, have

magnified your word, your word above all your name.

That's power. Now what does that mean?

This is a powerful thought, you got to get this because this is

where religion jumps in and makes the things of God

confusing. God can do anything he wants to

do, No, he cannot God will only do what he said.

This is why if we understood that then Jesus, coming become

so obvious. Because God said, let us make

man in our image, according to our likeness, and let him them

have dominion on the earth. Let man do it.

Because again, why God, if God can do whatever he wants to do.

Why didn't he send a monkey to redeem us?

Why didn't he send the elephant? Why didn't he send an angel?

Why didn't he go down there? And slap that fruit out of

Adam's hand and say, don't you do that?

Because Adam had the authority and God was not going to violate

the authority. He gave him, he was bound to his

word doesn't matter, he's God. What matters is what God Said.

Now God says, a man lost a minion.

Guess what? A man's gonna have to get it

back. So I'm going to have to go get

in a man's suit. That's why it's so much more

powerful. When Jesus says not that, he's

the son of God as much as he is. The son of man.

Because when Jesus goes on the cross goes to the grave and he

is killed off the planet and innocent man, never sinned.

He had the right to raise herself, back up appeal to a

higher court and take the Dominion back for man

hallelujah. Amen.

Amen. So, God just can't jump in and

do some when people say, well, God can do whatever he wants to.

He can only do what he has said in his word and he will not

violate that. Well, God can do whatever he

wants to do. You know, they'll throw a little

scenario and if you don't know the word then you'll say yeah if

you're right, he's all-powerful like he's a schizophrenic, you

know, like he's bipolar or something.

God's not. Bipolar, I'm not belittling

people who deal with that. What I'm saying is he has no

condition. That makes him tossed here or

there that controls his life that he can just one day.

Be mean. The next day be nice and there's

nothing we can do about it. He's not a tyrant, he is the

epitome of love and life and out of him.

Flows life. Wow.

But he will judge and he will sentence.

The same King. Why?

Because he rules, and he has the highest Authority and his word

is above. So, whatever, though, King says,

this is why faith comes by hearing and hearing from the

word of God, cuz he's the highest Authority.

So important for us to get this. He goes on and says in John 1:1.

John 1:1

Are you ready? Cuz he lifts his word even above

his own name in the beginning was the word and the Word was

with God and the word, what was God?

Amen, verse 14, you know what, the word became flesh and dwelt

among us and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only

begotten of the father, full of grace and truth, he had grace

and truth. That's who he was.

That's, and who is this? Word become flesh?

What do we call him his name? She's you understand.

The word long before he was ever named Jesus.

Okay. And God exhaust that name.

Well Jesus all the word has Authority, then look what it

says in Matthew 28:18 and Jesus came and spoke to them saying.

Matthew 28:18

All how much come on? How much come on, how much now

is God a man that he shall, ah, and who's talking Jesus, and

who's Jesus, he's the word and use the word he's gone.

So, God's talking, God the son, Jesus, Jesus came and spoke to

them saying all authority has been.

What given to me in heaven and Whoo, come on.

I mean you this would make you want to just jump out of your

skin if you could get this, if we can really see.

Listen, God doesn't just have authority in heaven.

Man. I got Authority.

You don't mind 40s because you came to the door and you walked

in the door and you asked me to come into your life, I have the

authority to take you out of the earth and bring you to heaven.

And when you die, you get to come here.

That's the authority. I possess.

No, he has not only Authority in heaven, but guess where else?

On the earth. So I'm telling you as a

Believer, ma'am. When I started see, I thought to

myself, there's more to Jesus then going to heaven.

I mean, salvation is way bigger than I thought, or was taught.

That faith in Jesus, for my sins was only one thing that I had a

right to. Wow.

And then to realize that Jesus who Seated on the throne can

dictate what happens here. Now, that doesn't mean because

we again, I get it. Here's people well, he's

Sovereign, he's Supreme. Well, God's in control of

everything, he's only control of his word because they're still a

devil on the planet. And he still has Authority in

his realm. And there are plenty who follow

and get what he has. And it's not that God can't God,

it's not that God doesn't have the power to help people.

Is that they're not believing him at his final word for the

power to show up. Well why didn't God save them?

God will not override their will if they will not conform to his

word. If they want the authority of

the devil, they'll get it. If you want the authority of

Jesus, you have it. We choose.

Now, this is very unpopular preaching.

I understand that because that means we're responsible.

But show me anyone who truly, who truly believes that, Jesus

Christ, died on the cross and Rose from the grave, doesn't

preach responsibility to be born again by you.

Making the confession, that is an act of responsibility and

it's like the minute you do it. We all of a sudden now have no

responsibility. I mean, none of my children when

I gave birth of them walked in the house, when no

responsibility, I was like, there's some responsibility

coming. You just don't know it yet.

But she wants me to take out the trash responsibility to wash

these dishes. Run smoothly, take my plate and

move it over here while you're a tyrant.

No, I'm showing them that there's thing called

responsibility because you understand, if you don't want

the devil to run you ragged, you better take the responsibility

and find out what the highest Authority says about your life.

Are you with me? So This has Authority, and he

will do whatever. He said he would do, but it

requires you to believe. Because, again, listen, see we

need to take these thoughts further.

If Jesus can do whatever he wants to do in God's in control,

then there's no way because we know his desires that no one

Paris, he would just make us all get born again but yet we apply

that same principle. Well, if you want to tell he

just make us get healed. Well, if he wanted us to know to

have more than enough, he just make it happen.

Well, he didn't make it happen for you to get born again.

He provided the way, but it required, your faith.

What it was God? Letting people would let a

little babies. Doc he's not the devil's killing

them. Right.

And how many people hadn't answered a call to go into that

Nation? And how many people that was

raised up to have a successful business to actually go in there

didn't do it because they decide to do their vacation instead I

mean I can't answer all those quite.

I'm just saying God requires us. Because he gave me an authority.

And Jesus said all authority is Mom in heaven and we're.

Wow. So I want to know what Authority

he has here so that I can walk in it right.

Psalms 89, 27 says this also, I will make him my firstborn

higher than the kings of the earth.

Well who else are Kings on the earth?

We are because he's the king of this is very powerful.

Come on this very powerful. Amen.

Now, the problem is that we are so conditioned to see ourselves,

as the lowlife that we've blown it, we're no good, you know,

we're just sorry, Sinners when we were, but Jesus made away and

then we took responsibility for our lives and say we can't do

it. So we're confessing you to be

Lord supreme authority, we're coming under your kingship.

Now the minute we did that God says guess what?

I'm going to make you a king like me and what you do is you

follow me and when you follow me then you'll follow my word when

you follow my words and you'll have the authority that I have.

And not only do I have authority there, I have it down here.

That's why Jesus says I'll give you the Keys of the Kingdom.

Whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven.

Whatever you loose on. Earth, shall be loosed in

heaven. Why?

Because the authority that sits here.

Is right here, but if we're not operating, it's not God's fault.

you know, this every time you go over the speed limit, Is there a

law? And if the police officers not

around the power to an authority to stop, you doesn't occur.

But does it still exist? Yes, it does.

Absolutely, it sure does. So you could be driving normal.

Somebody's blowing past you're like man a they shit you can't

run them down. Right?

What I'm saying is Authority is in the Earth but you have to

access it. We have to access it.

Luke 1:32 233 says this, he shall be great and shall be

Luke 1:32

called the son of the highest. The Lord God shall give unto him

the Throne of his father David. And he shall reign over the

house of Jacob forever and his kingdom.

There shall be no end. And Jesus is going to return and

not Only will he rule in Jerusalem?

But he'll rule the world Hallelujah.

He said, well, that ain't Fair. He made the planet, it is fair.

That's like you leaving your, don't leave it, leave it locked

and somebody breaks into your house.

When you go home, they broke it into your house.

They brought all their friends and family.

They be are eating stuff and they are sitting around your

house and you're like what are you doing here?

Well, we're here now and they beat you up and throw you out.

So what they did to the prophets, that's what Adam did

to God. God says, okay, so you

understand when you go and say no, I have authority.

So you bring back the police you bring back the papers, you bring

back the legal document and you proven, what do you do?

You have to run them out? but you're not going to do it

just because I to show you you're going to have some kind

of power or authority to demonstrate So, when God comes

back, he's only demonstrating your in my Planet.

I created it. This was how I expected it to

be, and if you're not going to be this, then I'm going to

remove you. But he wants you in the house.

All you got to do is believe, see, Jesus is Authority, was

actually recognized. It was recognized by Nature.

I'm just going to squirt some scripture.

You had to write them down and do some homework, you know, who,

who recognize the authority of Jesus and obeyed it.

Now, here's the thing with Jesus Authority for their was so crazy

about this list. I'm fixing to give you, is, they

did not Debate with him. The Fig Tree in Matthew, 21, 18

and 19. And in Mark chapter 11, 12 and

Mark 11 · chapter mention

14, the Fig Tree Jesus cursed, it said it would die and it

listened. It didn't resist, it could not

winds and waves. Luke chapter 8. 22.

Luke 8 · chapter mention

And Mark chapter 4 35 when he spoke to them, they listen.

Mark 4 · chapter mention

I'll said they listen. Do you know if God gave you the

word to go out and tell the waves to stop and st.

Augustine Beach and you knew it was God's voice and if you went

out and believe it would work for you as well.

Now, you just can't go out there and say, I'm going to see if

this works in the name of Jesus and Jesus sent a to say it,

you're just talking all by yourself.

But he will let us talk to hurricanes.

I said he will let us talk to hurricanes if we'll ask and say,

what do you want to say? Because it ain't about us, what

do you want us to do? Because you have the highest

Authority and we want your authority to manifest in the

earth, okay? But they listened, you know,

water turned 21. Water did a chemical change at a

word. What do you got?

Just fill these possible water. You got it.

Okay. Now, go take it to the head

master and in route. Wow.

It heard his voice and performed.

Are you with me? And I could go into other things

like fish hearing to go to a get a couple coins and go find

Peters, you know, net or hook one of the other.

I mean it happens like fish are dead and they'll say oh I'll

keep multiplying two. You're finished.

Amen. They recognize his authority.

The fish didn't say don't you know?

I'm dead. I can't, I mean this is all I

got. Come on, please.

Catch this with me, please catch this with me because again,

whatever Jesus said, he did whatever.

He said he did. You know what?

Sickness it sickness. Recognizes Jesus, Authority, he

went to Peters mother-in-law, she had a fever and Luke chapter

Luke 1:29

1 verse 29. He said Fiat, he said Jesus

rebuked, the fever apparently fevers have ears.

And it listen and immediately she got up and started serving

she didn't like recover for days.

The man a man had a withered hand in Matthew chapter 12 that

Matthew 12 · chapter mention

sickness changed his hand looks shifted.

And became normal at a word. The cells in his body performed.

A paralyzed man in Luke Chapter 5 and Walt.

Luke 5 · chapter mention

He said get up walk and guess what his bones and his muscles.

I mean you're talking someone had walked in while they would

have what's that word. Yeah, that word there they would

have that. That mean to be all your legs

skinnier Minds. You know, how do you work out on

my? But you understand.

I almost messed up super skinny because there's, they've been

working them and muscle showed up.

Now, I'm not saying they came out, like, Pastor Mike.

I get that. I'm not saying I like, Ro G Look

what Jesus did in my legs. You know, when they're posing,

I'm not saying they grew in size.

What I'm saying is they grew in strength, right?

The the bones were able to hold it, the veins, the blood started

flowing, all the nerves kicked in all that happened at a word

and it didn't resist. Didn't resist.

You know what else? Who else?

Recognize these Authority demons?

Yeah, the madman in Luke chapter 8, did not run on.

Luke 8 · chapter mention

Jesus is here. Let's get out of here.

Oh, get this. It ain't like oh jeez here.

Let's scatter. When Jesus confronts the Demonic

realm. They run to him and fall down at

his feet. They don't go flying out in the

building. Oh, jeez, here, let's go.

Scattering, so he won't see us, Jesus here, and they show up and

drop out his feet and then ask questions if he lets them talk.

In fact, the one unclean spirit in Mark chapter 1 when he went

Mark 1 · chapter mention

into the church, the synagogue will there be some churches that

couldn't handle some some Demon casting out?

They'd be freaking out. It's gonna get all that.

I'm gonna get on you unless you open the door for right, but I

obviously don't know your Authority.

Right? I could tell stories, but I

won't. I'm, I'm leaving.

Stay focused. Okay, I want to be light-hearted

at times, but sometimes we just gotta drive on because we need

this truth. So here's the thing.

This unclean spirit says, what business do we have with you?

Son of the most high, have you come to torment us before?

Tom He said, shut up. Come out.

We having this conversation in here and it did.

Now it made some demonstrations in it's going through that body

down the guy started flopping, all over the place, right?

Amen. Not everybody that falls in

flops. Has a demon, just let you know

that, okay. Because sometimes when they do

any comes on you fall, flat on your face, your body.

Don't know how to deal with that.

But it is line out and again if you fall and the anointing is on

you, you better get up and walk straight.

But what good is it to have an anointing?

You don't get your mind, right? You know what act, any different

because then we know you just flopping, like a fish out of

water, on your own. Okay, so let's go on in James

James 2:19

2:19. I love this one.

I'm actually read this one to you in James chapter 2, verse

James 2:19

19. It says that this way since you

believe that there is one God, do you believe there is one God,

God. Do you believe that?

You know what he says you do? Well James says, say I do well.

Tell your neighbor I do. Well then he says this even

demons believe and tremble. So you think you're like a great

Christian because you believe there's one God, he's a man,

even the demons do that. And tremble, what's must means

there must be somebody. That's believing there's one God

but doesn't have reverential fear of the Lord.

But demons know, there's one and now bow down at him.

Amen, I don't know why we decide we want to Buck Authority.

Especially Jesus's. I'm not whatever you say Lord.

Yes Lord. Yes Lord.

Yes. Lord calls life.

What did Peter say? Where we gonna go?

You have words of life. Oh my gosh.

You have words are life. Now again I might have culture

or when I'm saying in a world that's rebelled against God

hates God haters of God. So when I stand with God they're

gonna hate me Haters, Gonna Hate what's gonna happen, they're

going to do it right? But if we walk in love, they'll

hate us more or they may Maybe drawn to the Lord.

Either way, they don't have to see Jesus.

Be better to see Jesus on this side with me, then you see Jesus

with me on the other side. I say this, when I go to prison

ministry, you know I say now today I am your defense

attorney. I am here to get you out.

I am here to set you free. I am here to lay down that the

were Lord. Jesus Christ has paid the price

for all your transgression, all your sin, all your penalty, and

if you accept this payment today, you will be born again,

change, you will be a different person.

You'll be set free. I will defend you today.

But if you resist this today, and you die without accepting

Christ your lord. Then in heaven, I'll become your

prosecuting attorney and I will come back and God will show the

day that I was here. And I told you about Jesus and

told you about the payment and told you and how in your heart,

you resisted it. And I will be part of the

evidence that goes against you. When my Jesus will say depart

from me, I never knew you and cast into the Lake of Fire.

Now you want me as your defense attorney because I'm a really

good prosecuting attorney as well.

I've never lost a case when I get to heaven.

I'll never lose a case when I get to heaven.

Now, the defense attorney, I've lost some cases because they've

not But I will never lose a Prosecuting case when he calls

me up to evidence and Pastor. Oh did you go to the did you go

to that place? Yes sir g-going the state.

Yes sir I did y'all like that ain't going to happen to heaven.

Have you not read the Bible? I mean, they go open up the

books. We going to go before the they

are going to go through the, the great white Throne judgment

that's going to happen in your life.

I mean, we had like, it's like quicksand Kick or something.

Right? We go to heaven as light Booth.

You're gone if you're out you're gone.

You're here. You're blessed your boom.

You're out of here. You know, we're casting to

you're late. They're opening up books that

say these speed reading. I mean we are in no time.

I mean, I God's it around, he be like Next case, I mean, where

are we going, right? I mean it's gonna be like, more

than o.j. Simpson trial.

I mean, we were like gluten like these trials, we just like,

whoa. What's going on man?

Right? We're gonna be like, oh, look,

who's up. Look his because the Bible tells

us that some of the greatest people, we're going to be

liable. Oh, look, who's up, hmm, ain't

gonna be good for them. And you'll be like, oh yeah, you

know, I saw them once. Next thing, you know, the Lord

and say hey that's her. Oh come on up here.

Where were you at? Yes sir.

Yes sir was, did you say yes sir.

I said that about, you didn't say that.

You are. Oh we have video proof.

I mean ain't like God can't just Show your life in a moment right

there, right? Amen.

It's me exciting times. This is gonna be exciting times,

but what's not excited about that?

Because this blew me away II. Never thought it this way.

Until I read it, someone said it.

And I said I can't believe that to I'll say it, myself went red

and I was like she's the great white Throne judgment the great

white Throne judgment is not on planet Earth.

It is actually in heaven and at the end he said he will give up

the dead. Grave will give up the dead,

which means they will leave the grave that they're in torment

right now and actually go to the place.

And see exactly where they could have seen been at Toms for

period. Before they're thrown into the

Lake of Fire. It's not like they took them out

of the pit, the grave and what we call hell, right?

Do you not understand hell's God's?

It's not the devil's. The devil don't live in hell.

The prison system is the Lord's and it only exists because of

rebellion. It's not like the devil's down.

Inhale, making plans. He's actually out here.

He's the prince of the power of the air.

All right. Now there are some in the grave,

some demons that are chained up. I don't want to get in that.

I'm just saying it. There's a lot going on in the

Unseen that we don't know about and it has to do with

authorities. Okay, and Jesus has Authority.

So let's drive on. So demons recognizing Satan

recognize Jesus with authority. In Matthew Chapter 4.

Matthew 4 · chapter mention

Verses 1 through 11, you know, who else is recognized

Authority? People did people in the

synagogue and Mark chapter 121 and in Luke, chapter 4, verse

Luke 4:14

14, they recognize Jesus, Authority the cement.

He teaches like not like the Pharisees bubble, like one that

has authority, authority can be seen recognize now many people

call it arrogance. When they're unlearned.

Meaning, they haven't been enlightened and they have maybe

a religious posture and then all of a sudden, someone comes out

in the authority of Jesus and because know it's going to be

this way. Remember, a particular

situation, I'ma keep it real big that took place, you know, life

and death deal and I went into the room and I said, let's pray.

Because the ones that were in the room they didn't, they don't

know what. I know, let's just put it that

way and when I mean, by that day, it hasn't been revealed by

the spirit I've sought it, and I've got it works.

Right. And I happen to have have a

Spiritual Authority at the time for that room.

So, I walked in that room and I said, let's pray.

And I said in the name of Jesus, it will be like this, they will

do this. This will take place.

It will be like this. We thank you for it, in the name

of Jesus said, amen, I took another person out and I said,

this is real. Is that ever going to be?

This ain't no waiver a moment. This is where you better know

that, you know, something. But I knew that I had it.

And that they didn't need have to have it because God had given

it to me, but I wouldn't be able to keep it forever.

They would have to grow on their own.

Twenty minutes later everything I said would take place.

The another person came in the room and quoted it.

Verbatim that it was that way and all that took place.

Now you sit on the outside you think I was arrogant?

I wasn't. I was and the authority of the

king. And I'm not going to let a devil

and hip, not in Hell, a devil period.

A demon Satan himself or people taught me out of the authority.

That the king just told me to say and they, I mean, it turned

out really great. Because any other way.

And when it turned out that way, and let me tell you, sometimes

you'll operating authority of Jesus and you're not going to

get credit, but that's okay. You're not supposed to.

But you'll know if God hadn't used you because you knew what

you knew about Authority, But it's recognizable pilot

recognize, Jesus Authority, and also the chief priests and the

Elders of Matthew chapter 21 verse 23.

Matthew 21:23

Jesus has authority over the church.

And he's given it to the church. So if he's James 1:22, 22 says,

James 1:22

which he worked in Christ. When he raised him from the dead

seated him at his right hand in Heavenly places.

Far above are you looking at this far above not just like

right over I'm talking about far above all principality and power

and might and dominion and every name that is named not only in

this age. But also in the one to come and

he put all things under his feet where the feet located in the

body under his feet and gave him to be the head, over all things

to the to the church. Do you see this?

So Jesus has the authority and he says all the authorities

mind, I'm the head of the church and I've given this Authority.

It runs all the way down to the. There's not a place in the body

that doesn't have my Authority, which tells me if you're not

operating in it, it's not because it's not available to

you, but it's because we don't know.

We can exercise it and it's not what you did.

It's what he has done. Are you with me?

My son moved up this little coffee thing.

Upstairs, you know, brought from the house, he goes, hey, you

want one? Why?

Cause he's authorized, is his I said, yeah, I'll take one.

So, in essence, he's authorized me to be able to go make that

cup of coffee. Right now, if I didn't know it

was up there, I wouldn't be able to have that benefit.

But because it's up there and then he let me know that I could

have that. Then guess what?

I can walk up in there at any time and make that I don't even

need him to be at work because I have his word on it.

Oh, Jesus, come help me Jesus. Like, I put my spirit in you,

I've given you the word on this thing just operate in it.

I don't have to get off the throne to come down and get that

for you. Hallelujah, I said, Hallelujah.

Okay. Listen, Jesus has delegated us,

his authority. Delegate means to send or to a

point as a representative John 1410 ma'am.

Just make you run and show got only two more scriptures and

we're done. Okay.

He says, do you not believe that I am in the father?

And the father is in me? Answer that you believe that

right? Okay the words that I speak to

you, I do not speak on my own, what Authority, but the father

who dwells in me does the works, right?

He says, than in love and believe me that I am in the

father and the father in me or else.

Believe for the sake of the works themselves verse 12.

Most assuredly, I say to you. Verse 12, verse 12, verse 12.

Most verse 12. Most assuredly.

Most assuredly not like I don't know, man.

This is Jesus almost assuredly, I say to you.

He now any gender that's Humanity.

He who believes in me and what do you believe?

His word, The Works that I do. He will do also and Greater

Works than these. He will do Who will do them,

he'll do them now. It's not you doing it without

his authority. Is him saying do it then you say

okay I'll do it and then it happens through You by his

power. So again, this is a song that

will I've never heard it myself, but they printed it at summer

camp and it says, bodies are still being raised.

Giants are still being slain wonders with wonders are still

what you do now, it's about Jesus.

You do these wonders. Yes he does.

But he does them how through you.

So if bodies are being raised on planet Earth, you better be

doing the praying. If Giants are still being Slade

on the earth, Jesus ain't coming off the throne to come help you.

He has authorized It when he speaks to you by the Holy Ghost

on the inside. And he says, say this to the

giant, then you do it. And if a Wonder of Miracles

happening on planet Earth is because Jesus sits on the,

throne tells the Holy Spirit, that's inside of you and says,

do this. And when you act in obedience to

do it, it will take place. Because he's delegated

authority. Wait a minute.

Now, you're acting like we're Gods where you are Son of God.

Now, you're not the Son of God. That's Jesus.

You're not God In the Flesh, but you are a child of God.

What did Romans a? Please get this change your

mind. Okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's really okay. I mean, it's better than okay.

It's awesome. Those who are led by the spirit

of God. These are the sons of God.

We are created in the image of his likeness.

We are royalty, we are God's DNA.

We can hear his spirit and we can speak with his same

Authority. He doesn't even have to be on

the planet, but he will pull the power from Heaven into Earth

while cuz he's got a Authority in heaven.

And in Earth last scriptures is to do the works of Jesus.

One must first submit to his word.

This is why I love the Centurion so much.

Context this this biblical account, it says the sincere and

answered and said, Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my

roof. You say?

No Pastor. Oh you just said, we could be

worthy. This guy's not born again.

Jesus had died on the cross and Rose from the grave.

Okay, his sin is still credited to his life.

So that's why the century and says that guess, get

dispensations, right? I mean that's one of the most

gross malpractices of scripture is that people go into a

covenant or a dispensation and at like that, What's happening

in this one? We are to interpret the Old

Testament in light of the new When Jesus walked on the earth,

he's not yet. Laid down his life, he came back

for a few days. Yes, but the centurions

encounter with Jesus was prior to him having a capacity to be

born again but he could be righteous by doing what God

said. Okay.

Okay. So the situation says Lord, I'm

not worthy for you to come under my roof but only speak a What's

he saying? I don't even see you.

I don't even need to see you. All wish the Lord would come and

fix this situation. You know what he would?

I tell you what he's saying. I'd tell you exactly what he

says the minute you say that. He says, I am there.

I mean you I gave you my spirit. All you got to do now is talk to

the Spirit by reading the word and find out what I say about

this situation. And when you hear what the

spirit says, he's not talking on his own.

He heard it from me while I'm up here in heaven and if you'll

actually do exactly what I said, then it'll turn out that way.

This is why the Bible says, we are to have great confidence.

I mean, when your legal with God, meaning, you know, the

right, you know what, the King has said, I mean, you're like,

it's got to be this way. You're like, get out of my

house, right? Don't touch my wife.

You know what I'm saying? You're like, you've messed with

the wrong eye. Let's call the long.

Well, I mean, that's no problem. I'm right.

There's confidence there. Right?

So, put that back up. I just waited for y'all to turn

it off, so I could make you do it again.

The Centurion said low, right? Okay, he goes on and says it's

just repeat the word and my servant will be healed.

What'd he say would happen? If he spoke the word, just speak

the word and my servant be here, which means if you'll say my

servants is, he is healed. Then it will happen.

He didn't debate Jesus about that.

Why? Because the necks Earth for I

also am a man under Authority. The first thing you recognized

by Jesus your submitted to the father.

I'm submitted myself to someone over me and here's what I know

when they tell me to do something this ain't like

debatable. This is like you don't do it.

You die all this. What?

I love about the synturion. He knew, if I disobeyed order

they'll kill me. And if we would get this

thought, if we disobey the authority of Jesus, In essence

brings death to us now, doesn't physically kill us right then,

but in essence were saying, we don't want life.

We're going to choose another option and death shows up.

But when you stay with the authority of God's word, then

life will show up and he goes on and says, look when I tell my

servant to go he goes and when I tell him to come, he comes when

I tell him to do this, he does it.

So he basically just and Jesus. Marvin says, I've not seen such

great faith. No.

Not in all of Israel because this man recognized Authority.

So I recognize the authority of God's word.

I recognize What God Says and I know that any situation I'll

ever encounter in life, if I'll go to the word and I seek him,

I'm guaranteed This ain't like, maybe I'll know, because God is

not a man that he should lie. He isn't the king.

And the King has put out this order seek first, the kingdom of

God, and his righteousness, and all these things will be added

to you. He said, ask ask and you will

receive. Well, I had heard yet.

You got to keep on asking seek and you'll find well, you know,

he ain't show me nothing yet. Keep seeking, you are not doing

your part because God will do his part knock.

And well, you know the Lord shut that door on me.

Did he or did the devil? Because I want to know if the

door shuts or not. And I'll know if it's God.

Because if I ask seek and knock, I get exactly what he said he'd

give. So we must understand that.

God says, I hold all authority heaven and where you're at, and

because you're my child. If you'll hear me by my spirit,

by the Holy Ghost, I placed in you, as you read my word and

speak my word then whatever, I destruct you to do, it will be

that way. Don't ever let go.

That's why Jesus rebuked his disciples.

It didn't sound like, you know some messaging that we get

today. Jesus is sleeping disciples,

think they're going to die? Because Jesus told them before

they got in the boat rice and then let's go to the other side.

I'm gonna go take a nap. I'm closing with this.

All right, that's your stand-up. Come on down, we'll make some

will go a little quicker and and so he's sleeping and they're

fighting the winds and waves, man.

They've already heard, Jesus. Go to the other side.

That's why they're going in the first place.

He spoke at he said it right, and they're like, working his

thing. And then finally, like we're

going to die dangle. Were you better wake up?

Jesus. You know, could we don't want

anyone to die and not know that he was dying, right?

Jesus, basically, they were upset.

They really they were shocked. He was sleeping cause it was so

rough. You know, aren't you concerned,

we're going to die. They said that Jesus got up

rebuked the winds and the waves and then says, man, you guys are

so awesome. I'm so glad we're a team.

I'm so glad we come together now.

I want you to know that sometimes in life, you know, I'm

going to put you in situations and you can't do anything about

it. So you just make sure you come

and call on me. And I may seem like that I'm not

interested and that I don't care about you, but notice minute you

came and cried. It out and told me you were in

Dire Straits about to die. My gosh, you saw me.

I stood up and came to your defense man.

I love you guys and you're going to do great things.

Now we're at the other side so let's get out of the boat.

He didn't say that. No, he rebuked the winds away,

then he turns around inside when he says, why don't you have any

faith? Why are you afraid?

I'm telling you, there's Ministries.

Now, there's people now that couldn't handle that.

Why didn't he just say God, I'm King.

You can't do it anyway. Why didn't he say that?

No, he said, why are you free? Why don't you have any faith?

He rebuked them. In essence, he said, I gave you

a word. It didn't matter what showed up.

You had enough faith in you to get to the other side.

You should have never woke me up.

God is not listen, we are. It's like, we're trying to wake

God up to do something, our nation.

God's trying to wake us up. I gave you a thorny now, use it.

But it's easier, honestly, I get it is easier to take no

responsibility and go through life and let it to give you what

it has. And at least say, man when I

die, I go to heaven. But I'm telling you, when you

stand before the king one day and he plays out your life

you'll be like I could have done that.

Yeah. You could have.

I could have stood against that. Yeah.

You could have. I could have not died that way.

Yeah, yeah. You could have.

You just in belief. Just in C.
