  1. Thank you for always listening to our podcast.

  2. We hope they are a blessing to your life. Okay.

  3. And as you're going there, let's just put your

  4. Bible up in the air. Come on. Just put it up

  5. in the air. Tonight, Holy Spirit, pierce us with

  6. your word. Forgive us for not rightly honoring

  7. your word. Pierce us until we become... In Jesus'

  8. name. I want to encourage you. There's no greater

  9. supernatural encounter. I'm probably a little

  10. loud by the way. I'm gonna start screaming and

  11. it's gonna get crazy. Okay, just wanted to warn

  12. you. Sometimes I think we want to just come and

  13. get zapped. We like falling over. And I love

  14. that. We love the power. We love the anointing.

  15. But I believe that the greatest purest and most

  16. supernatural encounter is when the very words

  17. of Christ pierce our hearts to such a degree

  18. that we actually become like Him. God doesn't

  19. want to just give us a one night touch. Listen,

  20. he's not that cheap. He wants to form himself

  21. inside of a people until we start shining. So

  22. often times, we got the spirit over here, and

  23. we got the word over here, and there's no such

  24. thing as separation. In 1947, Smith Wigglesworth

  25. prophesied that the next great awakening in the

  26. world would come when the church rightly honors

  27. the spirit And the word. Because they are one.

  28. So we're not approaching the Bible tonight. We're

  29. approaching the Lamb. He's the volume of the

  30. book. We don't want to know the Bible. We want

  31. to know Jesus. And He gave us 66 books to discover

  32. who He is. So it shouldn't just sit on our shelf.

  33. I open it when Pastor Daniel teaches me. We shouldn't

  34. want falling over more than we want His Word.

  35. We should say, Jesus, I want you to come into

  36. me. And if I'm going to go down, I better come

  37. up more like Jesus. Or we just had a show tonight.

  38. And you know I love you, right? And just so you

  39. know, if I say something that offends you, he

  40. didn't say it. And he didn't say it. So you don't

  41. have to leave their churches. Because I'm going

  42. to get on a plane and I'm going to go back to

  43. Florida. So if you don't like me, I'm not your

  44. pastor. Your pastors are sweet. Okay, but I'm

  45. not here to entertain you tonight. I'm not here

  46. to please you tonight. Our job is not to entertain

  47. you. Our job is to equip you. So even if it feels

  48. like a sword going in, just know that this is

  49. how the Spirit of God works. He's a sword that

  50. pierces. It says the word separates bone from

  51. marrow. It deals with your lies. Anyone ever

  52. been reading the Bible? And you just went there

  53. to read. But then all of a sudden you're crying.

  54. And it's reading you. And you're like, I didn't

  55. realize how many things I needed. to heal in

  56. my heart. It's the only book in the world that's

  57. alive. And I think that we've had an apostasy

  58. that's taken away from the Word. And we've settled

  59. for services. We don't need services. The world

  60. would have been saved a long time ago if it was

  61. up to services. Jesus would have come back in

  62. a Catherine Coleman meeting, I promise. There's

  63. more power. powerful services to go to. It's

  64. not until a group of people begin to see who

  65. they are that the cry of creation, the groan

  66. of creation that's crying out for change, it's

  67. going to come through the manifestation of the

  68. sons of God. So we got to learn some stuff. Amen,

  69. amen, amen. Thanks Noah. Alright, go to Isaiah

  70. 6. I'm not going to get there anytime soon. I

  71. just want you to go there and stay there. Just

  72. so you can have your Bible open. And then I'm

  73. going to work my way there. And it will come

  74. together in Isaiah 6. But I'm going to start

  75. in Hebrews 6. I don't want anybody to turn to

  76. it. I want you to pay attention. Just keep your

  77. Bible open. open in Isaiah 6. The point of this

  78. conference has been unveiled, right? In Isaiah

  79. chapter, I'm sorry, Hebrews, Hebrews chapter

    Hebrews 6 chapter mention

  80. 6, there's this profound revelation that the

  81. writer of Hebrews brings us into When he's talking

  82. about an oath that God made with Abraham, and

  83. God comes to Abraham, and he says when he looked

  84. at Abraham, he wanted to make a covenant with

  85. this natural man. This natural man, Abraham,

  86. wasn't strong enough to carry his side of the

  87. covenant. Okay? As amazing as Abraham was, God

  88. had it in his heart. I want to make him some

  89. promises. I want to make him a covenant. But

  90. if I'm going to be on this side, Abraham is not

  91. strong enough to be on this side. So what he

  92. does, according to Hebrews 6, is when he wanted

  93. to make an oath with Abraham, it says that God

  94. made an oath with himself. And he made this oath

  95. with himself. Hebrews 6 tells us to show the

  96. character of who He is. And this oath and covenant

  97. God made with Himself about Abraham, it says

  98. is the anchor of our soul in the Most Holy Place.

  99. Here's the picture. You're the Christian in the

  100. middle. That's weak. struggles, you cannot hold

  101. up the other side of the covenant. So what God

  102. did, and now let's just say I'm in the most holy

  103. place, because that's where we are, by the way.

  104. He's standing in the middle, humanity in the

  105. middle, and God is standing on one side, and

  106. God made a covenant with himself, and God standing

  107. on the other side. And God's covenant with Himself

  108. keeps you in proximity to Him. You have no power,

  109. no strength within yourself. Listen, to keep

  110. yourself close. Only by what God did with Himself.

  111. You had nothing to do with it. We were full of

  112. sin, full of shame, full of guilt. We were like

  113. the woman in John 8. Caught in the act of adultery.

  114. Jesus is preaching in the temple. And what did

  115. the religious Pharisees do? They brought the

  116. sinner to church to expose her. Religion doesn't

  117. want you whole. It just wants to expose your

  118. sin. Right? So they bring her to church. They

  119. expose Those are in front of everybody. Check

  120. this out, she wasn't even looking for repentance.

  121. She wasn't even looking for forgiveness. She

  122. was just caught. And this is who God is. He stoops

  123. down into the dirt. And he begins to write in

  124. the sand. I think people have this idea that

  125. maybe he was writing their sins. I just don't

  126. think that God would combat shame with shame.

  127. My personal conviction is I think he was writing

  128. things like Hosea 2 in the sand. That talks about

  129. people who were once a bride. who prostituted

  130. their bridal ship. And the kindness of God says,

  131. we will allure her into the wilderness and win

  132. her back. They caught a woman prostituting herself.

  133. And I think the Lord was saying, this is why

  134. I came. His kindness draws men to repent. Just

  135. so you know, I don't care if you grew up in church.

  136. Just so you know, we were all the women in John

  137. 8. And God stooped down for every single one

  138. of us. But then you go to church long enough.

  139. And there was nothing of your strength that brought

  140. you to Him. The scriptures say, Jesus says, if

  141. I be lifted up, I'm going to draw all men unto

  142. myself. You know what the word draw means in

  143. Greek? It means I'm going to drag you. Like you

  144. think you made a good decision. You have drag

  145. marks behind you. He came and He found you when

  146. you smelled like pigs, when you were worthless,

  147. and He kissed you. And he said, I want you. And

  148. somehow you found your way to some altar somewhere,

  149. or on the floor in your bedroom, while you were

  150. still a drug addict, while you were still an

  151. alcoholic, while you were still a hypocrite,

  152. and he said, I want you. Okay, not one of us

  153. believes for a second that we were worthy of

  154. any of that. But at some point in church we start

  155. thinking that we have to hold up the other side

  156. of the covenant. Now listen, I know that this

  157. is offensive because everybody thinks your behavior

  158. is everything. I'll teach you tonight how to

  159. fix your behavior. Because the gospel is not

  160. behavior modification. The gospel is you were

  161. crucified when he was crucified. You died when

  162. he died. You were buried when he was buried.

  163. This is all in the Bible by the way. You were

  164. raised when he was raised. And you were seated

  165. in heavenly places when he was seated in heavenly

  166. places. And again, you did nothing to earn it.

  167. It's unbelievable. Like absolutely zero. God

  168. doesn't come and clean you. He kills you. And

  169. then He raises you up again. And you relate to

  170. the old person again. Okay, so is anybody married

  171. in here? Okay, now listen. If I had to walk around.

  172. I'm married, happily married. I have four beautiful

  173. children. If I had to walk around with my wedding

  174. vows in my back pocket, the legal certificate

  175. document, the law. and I'd have it in my back

  176. pocket, that every time I met a female, I had

  177. to pull out the law, just tell her to keep a

  178. safe distance, and read the law. So I don't commit

  179. adultery. I would have a problem. I would need

  180. pastoral counsel if I'm that tempted that I constantly

  181. have to go back to the law. Right? Like if I

  182. went to the grocery store and I needed my brother

  183. to be there with me, when I walk down the checkout

  184. counter and tell him, listen, now before we walk

  185. down that counter, I need you to hold both my

  186. arms back because I love stealing Snickers. I

  187. know it's silly, but this is what we do in church.

  188. This is how pathetic we are. So we want the law

  189. because we are going to fight our arm to not

  190. steal the Snickers. Or, you just aren't a thief.

  191. And I don't know about you, but when I go to

  192. the grocery store, I'm literally never thinking

  193. about stealing. Anybody think about stealing?

  194. Don't raise your hand. I mean, hopefully you're

  195. not walking around so uncontrolled in your members.

  196. Listen, do you know that I'm just, now just hear

  197. me out. If the Lord came to me and it just became

  198. okay to all of a sudden commit adultery, do you

  199. know I still wouldn't? Someone asked me why.

  200. Why? Because I love my wife. Love is stronger

  201. than the law. So listen, rather than telling

  202. a generation to come get right with God and behave,

  203. we should teach them about love. And listen,

  204. not your love for Him, because that's not good

  205. enough. And it'll never be good enough. But what's

  206. His love for you? Listen, I wasn't planning on

  207. going into all this, but... We have a lot of

  208. preachers that are yelling at people, love God

  209. more. But we never tell them why they should

  210. love God more. You see the gospel is not that

  211. Jesus died for Jesus. We got to be careful with

  212. this narrative that we're not really a part of

  213. this in any way, that none of it's about us.

  214. It sounds humble, but it's deceptive. Because

  215. Jesus The whole storyline is that He wanted you.

  216. The whole Gospel is that He died for you. So

  217. if you never come into a revelation of the love

  218. of God, you'll never love Him. I actually believe

  219. the secret to zeal People are always like, oh

  220. man, another message on the love of the Father.

  221. When are we going to have a holiness movement?

  222. Ever hear that stuff? I struggle with that stuff.

  223. Because we don't even understand holiness. What

  224. do you mean when you say a holiness movement?

  225. A movement of really well -behaved people? Like,

  226. do you realize holy means altogether separate?

  227. It's like a whole new identity? Righteousness

  228. bears fruit onto you're separate now? So hear

  229. me out. We're doing a lot of stuff in church.

  230. Trying to hold up our side of the bargain. Just

  231. like the Galatians. Paul comes to them in Galatians

  232. 3. And he says, you foolish Galatians. Who has

  233. bewitched you? That. Who has bewitched you? You're

  234. doing incredible. You gotta say it in Spanish,

  235. that you're doing incredible. Come on, don't

  236. have false humility. Tell them. Let's go. I love

  237. it. Says, who has bewitched you, you who started

  238. in the spirit, have now gone to works. You came

  239. weak, but you got too strong. And the gospel

  240. is stay weak. I boldly proclaim, That I will

  241. forever be a needy Christian. And I know that's

  242. not popular. But I've got a need for God. And

  243. without having a need for God, we're too strong.

  244. So from the beginning, God's covenant with Himself,

  245. the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, had

  246. a conversation. You're going to be made in the

  247. image, the likeness and receive the righteousness

  248. of God. And you weren't even invited to the meeting.

  249. He didn't ask for your opinion. And God's covenant

  250. with Himself anchors you in His proximity. Okay,

  251. so then that takes it further. So then we don't

  252. go in and out of God's presence anymore. Jesus

  253. actually tells us to abide in His presence. We

  254. don't worship to get in His presence. We don't

  255. dance and shout to get into His presence. I know

  256. we love quoting the verses. I'm sorry that I'm

  257. gonna say this. But you realize entering his

  258. courts with praise, I love that. But after the

  259. blood of Christ. I'm in His courts. I live in

  260. God. Not because of what I've done, but because

  261. of what He's done. So now my praise changes.

  262. I'm not praising my way to Him. I'm praising

  263. because dirty me is with Him. You've got to see

  264. this. I don't worship to get to Him. I worship

  265. because I'm in Him. Like we have something to

  266. be thankful for. Right? Intercession. We've made

  267. intercession reaching for God. What are you reaching

  268. for? God reached for you. Listen, intercession

  269. is you're standing in a gap. Between what? What's

  270. the gap? Like, could you be a bridge between

  271. God and the world? Rather than intercession being

  272. reaching? Right, we like the word travail, right?

  273. Travail. Travail is the pain of giving birth.

  274. Intercession is about giving birth. birth to

  275. something that's in you. If we never find the

  276. God within, we will live our whole life on a

  277. wrong pilgrimage. We're on a journey that is

  278. deceptive. We're looking, we quote Isaiah 64,

  279. oh, that you would rend the heavens and come

  280. down. It's great for preaching. It moves rooms,

  281. but we never keep reading. Because as you keep

  282. reading in Isaiah 64, He says, when I did rend

  283. the heavens and come down, no one was paying

  284. attention. And then you get to Isaiah 65, and

  285. it says, like a father I've held out my hands,

  286. come to me all you who are weary. We can't move

  287. on just yet. You can't go in and out of a temple

  288. when you are the temple.
