The Revelation of God’s Goodness!

You're listening to the Cross Kingdom Sermon of the Week.

We hope you enjoyed this message from Justin Carpenter. If

you're visiting and have never seen anything like that, He's

not faking it. Everyone reacts differently to the presence and

the power of the Holy Spirit, and you don't have

to physically respond to receive. But God and his sovereignty

will touch you more intensely at certain times than others.

And so that was one of those times for him.

So I can't wait to see what happens in Brazil.

All right, So I want to talk to y'all again

with the same mind lot of time as I had

first service somehow, and uh, I want to talk to

you about the revelation of God's goodness. And my heart

for you this morning is that you will receive a

greater revelation of His goodness. And if you receive a

greater revelation of His goodness, You're going to find yourself

surrendering and trusting Him in areas of your life with ease.

Does that sound good? So? And that's not the only thing.

But you know, I spent longer on this last night

than I will on some outlines, and I don't know

that you can ever do the goodness of God full justice.

I don't know that we can ever exaggerate his goodness.

Is Nancy Lapointe here? This Nancy was sharing with me Friday, Thursday, Thursday,

how she was in a ministry session praying for someone

and she had had a cyst on the inside of

her wrist, and the doctor told her that, you know,

apart from surgery, you're just gonna have to live with it.

It's benign, no big deal. And as she's praying, ministering

to this person that came in, she feels something and

she rubs the inside of her wrist and the cyst disappeared.

It is no longer there. It instantly disappeared. Where'd she go? Joni?

Joni came up to us and shared that her mother

had internal bleeding and then miraculously was healed from the

internal bleeding. That just happened. Y'all, God doesn't heal as

just a simple act. He is the healer. It's his nature,

it is who he is. And what's impossible with us

is a piece of cake with him. And I want

to encourage every one of you right now to get

a greater revelation of His goodness, because I believe one

of the greatest obstacles for us in the United States

from seeing the fullness of His kingdom the way others

do in other nations is a revelation of His goodness.

It's not the only thing, but it absolutely plays a role.

I was mowing the lawn some years ago on the

John Deere tractor, right, so I'm riding along, maybe not

staring that bad, but I was moving along, mowing, listening

to worship music, and the Lord asked me a question.

He goes, do you want to know why Bill Johnson

moves in the mirac this realm the way he does?

And I mean I literally heard it clear, not audibly,

but like very clear in my spirit. And I was like,

this is what I've learned in my walk with the Lord.

If he asks you a question, it's because you don't know.

Even if you think you know, you don't. That's why

he's asking you that question. And so I was like, sure, Lord,

he says, it's because of the revelation of my goodness.

So I know for a fact that moving in the

miraculous realm is tethered to your revelation of how good

God is, and too many times we have this distorted

perspective of the Father and the Old Covenant, like he's

the Godfather waiting with a sledgehammer, going, I can't wait

for them to send him and knock the hell out

of them. That's not him, which that was not a cussword,

like knocked the hell out of you. I just want

to clarify that no emails, please and exit thirty three

eighteen to twenty three. And he said, please show me

your glory. Now, remember y'all have read this chapter many times.

He starts out with show me your ways. This is

on the cuffs of him literally seeing all these signs

and wonders on the cuffs of him seeing God judge

the Divine counsel, the fallen members, and literally judge these

eloheim that they were worshiping. And he says, if you're

gonna go, don't don't take us anywhere without your presence.

If I found favor with you. The last thing he

asked was show me your glory, but you may have

missed what he said next. Then he said, I will

make all my goodness past before you, and I will

proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will

be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I

will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. But

he said, you cannot see my face, for no man

shall see my face and live. And the Lord said,

here's a place by me. You shall stand on the rock.

Anybody know who the rock is. It's like a prophetic

picture of putting him with Christ. You'll stand on the rock.

So it shall be while my glory passes by you.

So make no mistake. In the context, he says, show

me your glory. I'll make all of my goodness pass

by you. And then he says, while my glory passes

by that I will put you on the cleft of

the rock and will cover you with my hand while

I pass by. Then I will take away my hand,

and you shall see my back, but my face shall

not be seen. Aw Tozer says, this what comes into

our minds when we think about God is the most

important thing about us. I might say that on the

cuffs of a suddenly not in a good way, on

the very cuffs of something devastating or traumatic that happens

to you, the first thing you think about God exposes

how good you think he is or isn't Luke two

thirteen and fourteen. And suddenly there was with the angel

a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying

glory to God in the highest and on earth peace

and a little bit of goodwill towards men. No, that's

not what he said. Let's say it the Lord. Sorry,

inside joke with the prophetic class. By the way, if

you're wondering, we don't when you're prophesying in this house,

our protocol is you don't say, thus, saith the Lord.

If an angel comes to you and says, thus, say

it the Lord, that's fine. Otherwise we say, I believe

this is what I see. This is what I believe

the Lord saying. Just so you know, he says goodwill

towards men James one point thirteen. Let no one say

when he is tempted, I am tempted by God. For

God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he himself

tempt anyone. One of the greatest things to reconcile is

that there are things that happen on planet Earth with

fallen humanity in a fallen world that God had nothing

to do with. But so many times when we're in

that broken place, that woundedness, that trauma. We sit there

and we go, I can't believe he let this happen.

You're still putting the responsibility of your someone else's trespass

against your life. I'm the wrong person. And it is

absolutely a trap of the enemy, because as long as

you blame God, you cannot fully take account of your

heart and take all of that debt and put it

on the one that it belongs to, because only then

can you actually forgive totally that person. See, we do

a horrible job in the Western Church on forgiveness. We

tell people just by their own strength, their soul strength, forgive. Hello, people,

if that were possible, why do you need Jesus. Jesus said,

you gotta forgive from your heart. Listen, Total forgiveness can

only happen in Jesus guaranteed. We don't have the capacity

to save ourselves. That was free in fact James one,

fourteen and fifteen. But each person is tempted when he's

lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when

it's conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin when it's

fully grown, brings forth death. So why do things happen

to us because people are fallen, and your sin affects

other people. Did you know, even if you have secret

sin in this room right now, no one knows but

you and God and the enemy. No one knows but

you and God in the enemy. Your spouse may not

even know. You are hurting your bloodline. You're hurting your bloodline.

It's impossible for us to sin and it not affect others.

It's impossible for us to set in unforgiveness and bitterness

and somehow think we're not going to live our lives

at the expense of other people. Y'all, we need a

greater revelation of His goodness. If we spent more time

in our priestly role as a royal priesthood, ministering unto

the Lord, giving thanks in all things, praising the Lord,

and interceding for others, and out doing each other with honor,

we'd have a very difficult time to get irritated with

each other, wouldn't we. We'd be too busy ministering to

the Lord than to sit an offense because the enemy

comes and says, did God really say in the battles

right here? I was not addressing anyone's sin. That was

my son. I was just making sure he zoomed the

camera in. If you're wondering those are joke people, lighten up.

Do we need her to do her chicken dance again?

It's like no, no, no, James James one sixteen to seventeen.

Do not be deceived, my bloodd brothers. Every good gift

and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from

the Father of Lights, with whom there is no variation

or shadow due to change. So where does every good

and perfect gift come from? You know? The Lord says,

He causes it to reign on the just and the unjust.

That means even on your enemies, God is blessing them.

Why because it's the goodness of God that leads us

to repentance. And repentance, y'all, is more than just having

a different thought. If you say that you've repented because

you're thinking differently, but your thoughts are not changing your actions,

you're in deception. So how in the world do you

reconcile the old covenant God with Jesus. Jesus said, if

you've seen me, you've seen the Father. There's no difference.

And Jesus comes along and says, you've heard it said

of old But I say, you've heard it said, But

I say, and if you're wondering, Jesus took the bar

and where it was under the old Covenant, he actually

made it even higher because he took it to your heart.

He took it to literally the motive of your heart.

Remember when we talked about wisdom the other week, James,

it says that selfish ambition, bitter jealousy, this is not

wisdom that comes from above, but is earthly, is sensual,

is demonic. For wherever you have bitter jealousy or selfish ambition,

you'll have all sorts of evil. And yet we've convinced

ourselves in the church that marketing ourselves isn't self promotion.

And yet Jesus made himself of no reputation. Whatever you

do to get into a place, you have to continue

to stay there. If the whole universe has no meaning,

we should never have found out that it has no meaning,

just as if there were no light in the universe

and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know

it was dark. Dark would be without meaning. C. S.

Lewis mere Christianity. So what in the world. Does the

Old Covenant reveal besides our ability to really sin? Am

I right? Like, y'all, it took humanity about three seconds

to mess stuff up? It reveals the severity of sin.

Do you realize that when sin entered in you had

the original sin of Adam, then you had imputed sin

because of the law, and then you have personal sin.

It also exposes the absolute hopeless condition of humanity to

save itself. And what scares me is how much self

reliance I'm seeing come into the church. How much humanism

with a religious spirit covering it up that's creeping into

the church. How science is being promoted higher than what

Jesus is in parts of the church, and it's heartbreaking. Amen.

It also shows us our need for a savior, points

to Jesus as the only possible solution to our lost condition,

which is the depravity of the human nature apart from Jesus.

Exodus thirty four six says the Lord passed before him

and proclaimed the Lord, the Lord, a god, merciful and gracious,

slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. Y'all,

you realize that when God's judgment came and the Old

Covenant when his wrath came. It was only after the

longest period of time of iniquity, of people throwing their

children into the fire, sacrificing their kids in the name

of convenience. But we don't do that today, do we. Yeah,

we do. It's called abortion. We sacrifice babies for a

better life because we don't want to be inconvenienced by

the consequences of our sin. See, if you don't call

things what it is, it's kind of hard to repent

from it. We've got to stop blaming God. Why then,

did God give them a free will? Anybody ever pray, Lord,

why'd you give me a free will? Anybody ever pray Lord?

When I go to sin, don't let me violate my will?

Anybody ever pray that. He's not going to violate your will.

He's not going to violate your will. He'd rather transform

your heart and cause the love you have for him

to be greater than the love that you had for

that sin. And then, compelled by love, walking in the

spirit becomes much easier. And it's not just another system

of bondage to act good and look good, but its relationship.

Because where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

He says, because free will, though it makes evil possible,

is also the only thing that makes possible any love,

or goodness or joy worth having. Again a quote from C. S. Lewis.

I'm quoting him a lot today. I don't remember the

last time I quoted him that much. One more by him,

By the way, the ultimate question is whether the doctrine

of the goodness of God or that of the inerrancy

of scriptures is to prevail when they conflict. I think

the doctrine of the goodness of God is the more

certain of the two. Indeed, only that doctrine renders this

worship of Him of delatory or even permissible. So his

goodness is his glory. When we say, Lord, show us

your glory, Lord, would you cause your glory to fall?

We're saying, Lord, would you give us a radical revelation

of how good you are? We wouldn't live like orphans

if we knew he was good. We wouldn't jockey for position.

If we knew he was good, we wouldn't we wouldn't

compete with our brothers and sisters. If we knew he

was good. We wouldn't compare ourselves to each other. If

we really knew that he was good. We would live

as sons and daughters. We would live knowing that he's

releasing inheritance to us, and that we don't have to

fight over it, like families doing the natural. One of

the ugliest things I've seen in Planet Earth is when

someone dies and people show up that had nothing to

do with them, but the moment money shows up, all

of a sudden, the long lost relative shows back up

to get their claim. Remember when Moses said, show me

your glory. God's response was, I will cause all my

goodness to pass before you. N T. Wright says, this

become you become like what you worship. When you gaze

an all admiration and wonder at something or someone, you

begin to take on something of that character of the

object of your worship. So what do you worship? Where

do you spend your time? What has the fixation of

your gaze? What can you not stop talking about? Because

it may just expose an idol? But the beautiful thing

is the Lord loves crushing idols. Yeah, you're Karen, You're

excited about the crushing of idols. Exodus thirty four twenty

nine to thirty five, when Moses came down from Mount

Sinai with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand.

As he came down from the mountain, Moses did not

know that the skin of his face shone or was shining,

because he had been talking with God. Aaron and all

the people of Israel saw Moses, and behold the skin

of his face shone, and they were afraid to come

near him. But Moses called to them, and Aaron and

all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and

Moses talked with them. Afterward, all the people of Israel

came near, and he commanded them all that the Lord

had spoken with them in Mount Sinai. And when Moses

had finished speaking with them, he put the veil, or

put a veil over his face. Whenever Moses went in

before the Lord to speak with him, he would remove

the veil until he came out. And when he came out,

he told the people of Israel what he was commanded.

And noticed that was a commandment. It wasn't a suggestion.

The elders did not gather together to vote on whether

or not they thought that was theologically sound. The people

of Israel would see the face of Moses, that the

skin of Moses's face was shining, and Moses would put

the veil over his face again until he went in

to speak with him. Y'all, we have a greater covenant.

Moses literally, because of God's goodness, permeated him to such

a degree that he was radiating light. And he was

radiating light to such a degree that everyone around him

were scared because of the light that came off of him.

And if y'all recall when I talked about light a

few weeks ago, and how your spirit literally radiates light,

it's not a metaphor. And Jesus said, let your light

shine before men, so that they see your good works

and glorify your Father in heaven. And we're under a

greater covenant. How is it that we're not getting lighter?

How is it that we don't have anyone right now?

And I'm being serious about this that needs to put

a veil over him? Now, what's interesting the occult knows

that you're light because when they get into darkness and

you come around, they don't like looking at you. And

that's a true statement. And the darker they get, the

more the light bothers them. And for the two witches

that sat in the parking lot this past week and

tried to curse us. The Lord laughs at your assignment.

See that stuff just irritates me. If y'all are wondering.

We had a couple of people at the administrative offices

sitting in the parking lot and they were sitting there

for over an hour, and when I went back into

my office, I knew something wasn't right. And our glass

is mirrored on the offices for those that you have

been there, and you have to literally get this close

and do this to look through the glass. And as

I looked at the lady with the black sedan and

the four door with the little chihuahua, and I locked seriously,

and the chihuahua looked like it wanted to kill me.

I walked by and I locked into her. She instantly

turned looked at me and waved because she was looking

with other eyes. And I looked again, and at first

I was like, did the mirror fail on this glass

because nobody can see me. So the moment I took

authority over the atmosphere, I said, I forbid any human

spirits from channeling, translating, or astro projecting in or out

of this atmosphere, and I break every demonic assignment of

witchcraft in Jesus' name. They rolled their windows up and

left in fifteen seconds. I don't normally put a whole

lot of attention to that stuff, but that was such

an arrogant, stupid move on the occult that I thought

i'd call it out. Yeah, y'all are welcome. You don't

have to be afraid of darkness. They're worshiping a match

compared to a bonfire, so Moses is radiating light. In fact, Moses, y'all,

it says that God buried him. He says, Moses, it's

time to die, and he takes him up on the

mountain wherever he was, because they remember Satan was fighting

over the body of Moses. Because God buried Moses himself.

He's like die. He'd been so permeated by the goodness

of God. Unless the Lord said die, he wouldn't have died.

It's kind of like Elisha, Who's what's weird about him? Was?

It says, and he got the illness that he was

going to die from. And yet shortly after that there's

an army. They lose a guy. They throw the dude

into the cave, with his bones. The moment he touches

Elishah's bones, he resurrects from the dead. My question is

how much faith did he have? They were both dead people.

There was no faith involved. It was literally the radiated presence, power,

resurrection power of Jesus that was on his bone. Still

still see those are things that if you'll meditate on,

you will increase in the awe of God, guaranteed, hands down,

Second Chronicles five thirteen and fourteen. And it was the

duty of the trumpeters and singers to make themselves heard

in unison and praise and thanksgiving to the Lord. And

when the song was raised with trumpets and symbols and

other musician musical instruments. Hey, this would be a good

one to show your family, bro in praise to the Lord.

That was between me and Anthony. For he is good,

for his steadfast love endures forever. For he is good,

his steadfast love endures forever. The house of the Lord

was filled with a cloud, so that the priest could

not stand to minister because of the cloud. For the

glory of the Lord filled the house of God. Y'all,

they were in unison. There was unity, there was praise,

there was an acknowledgment of the goodness of God, and

he goes, all, right, watch, I've seen a glory cloud

one time in my life awake, and that was with

Lisa a few months ago in our backyard, right above

the garage. And it was I don't know, somewhere probably

ten twelve foot wide at first, and I'm looking at

it because we were literally talking about the glory of

the Lord. And it was dark, but the cloud was

not dark. The cloud was literally radiating light above the garage.

And I go, Lisa, do you see that? And she

goes yes, And we watched that cloud expand and then

poof disappear and we just stood there, or we were

sitting there in awe and almost like did we really

just see that? But the Lord was drawn to our

conversation about his goodness. You know, the scriptures talks about

books of remembrance being written. I don't know about you,

but I want to pursue Jesus to such a degree

with so much passion that a book of remembrance is written.

I want to see heaven marvel the way the centurion

soldier made heaven marvel because of his faith. What about

y'all Okay, I'm gonna try to get through the last

two points without ram writing this down. Simon. Peter replied,

you are the Christ, the son of the Living God.

Jesus answered him, blessed or you Simon Barjona, for flesh

and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father,

who's in heaven. And I tell you you are, Peter,

And on this rock I will build my church. Upon

what rock the revelation that Jesus is the Christ, the

son of the Living God. And if you question that,

I'll show you in a couple scriptures, I will build

my church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail

against it. I will give you the keys to the

Kingdom of Heaven. And whatever you bind on earth shall

be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth

shall be loose in heaven. Then he strictly charged them

disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

It was on the revelation that Jesus is the Christ

that he's building his church. So the promises are the

promise of his goodness Psalms thirty four to eight. Oh

taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is

the man who takes refuge in him. You must make

your choice. Either this man was and is the son

of God, or else a madman or something worse. You

can shut him up for a fool, you can spit

at him and kill him as a demon, or you

can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God.

But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about

him being a great human teacher. He has not left

that open to us. He did not intend to C. S. Lewis.

It says the Lord is good to those who wait

for him, to the soul who seeks him. Y'all, if

you're in a waiting period right now in your life,

if you're waiting on the Lord for something, you're waiting

for breakthrough, and you're going, Lord, I need you to

come through, and you're having doubts on whether or not

he's gonna sell a home in another city so that

you can buy a house here, or you having doubts

if he's gonna bless your business, or you're having doubts

if he's gonna open this door in the next season.

It says that he does good to those that wait

for him. It also says that he's actively working on

the behalf of those that wait for him. So it

doesn't mean you're just like okay, it's all hum, I'll

go No, I'm not saying you sit there, you keep

moving forward, but you're also in your heart posture. You're

waiting on him, the God of breakthrough, the one who

breaks in and breaks through Micah the book Micah, I

want my son thinking it wastng tone like you're not

paying attention for the Lord. God is a son and

a shield. The Lord bestows favor and honor. No good

thing does he withhold from those who walk up brightly.

He satisfies you with good so that your youth is

renewed like an eagle. I'll never forget y'all. We were

sitting there in November and we get this phone call

from our friends that said that the Lord moved down

their heart to bless us to help us get out

of debt. And when we got off of that phone

with that phone call with them, I literally dropped my

head and just begin to cry. They had no idea.

I'd been praying and praying. Lord, you're the one that

gives me the power to make wealth, Lord the one.

You're the only one that can get me out of

this debt. There's no way I can pull out of

this thing on my own. Lord, there wasn't. And I'd

been praying quietly for supernatural debt forgiveness, and the Lord

heard our cry. Yeah. I paid off back taxes, I

paid off my jeep, I paid off my son's car,

I paid off credit card debt. I didn't earn that

he's good. I prayed quietly, and I'm a son that

he's well pleased in because he put me in his son.

And I have a choice every day to wake up

and believe the nonsense in the atmosphere, what the enemy

wants to say, or I can believe his word that

his goodness endures forever, that I will see the goodness

of the Lord in the land of the living. Y'all,

get your heads up, get your hope up. You've got

a father who absolutely is madly in love with you,

and there's not a thing you can do to change it,

because he puts you in his son. That was good,

all right. Last point hanging there with me, Alex, don't

get mad. I'm hurrying. She's leaving. I just like to

call her out, embarrass her. Love you. Hope you have

a great day Christ in us, the hope of glory,

final point land in the plane, y'all Galatians six nine

and ten. And let us not grow weary of doing good?

Who gets tired? Who's been plowing, who's been pioneering and going?

Am I ever gonna get through this? Am I ever

gonna get You know, we keep hearing all these scriptures

about the promised Land, keep hearing about you know, the

Jordan parting and all these words I mean. And hello,

at the beginning of every year, you know you're gonna

hear the wealth of the wicked stored up for the righteous.

This is a year of transference. Hello, people, how many

times we got to hear that before we realize? Didn't

we just hear that for the last ten years in

a row? Moving go. I won't pick on that anymore,

for in due season we will reap if we do

not give up. So then as we have opportunity, let

us do good to everyone, and especially to those who

are of the household of faith. Y'all. Somebody came to

the office because the Lord moved on this person's heart

to bless Manna for her trip, and this individual Rhodacheck

to sew into her her trip coming up, and I

looked down and there's a thousand bucks. And I went

over to Lisa Davenport this morning, I said, hey, do

you have Manho's Venmo? She's like why, and I told

her and she just started tearing up. Listen, it says

that there's an abundance of provision attached to the good

works you're called in. Provision follows assignment. Did you hear me?

Provision follows assignment. So when you're walking with the Lord,

you're actually walking out what he's destined you for, what

he's called you to, then there's an abundance of provision

attached to those very works that he's called you to

that should make every one of you happy. Right now,

if you're in the midst of trying to build something

and you're like, man, there's no way this is going

to happen with with the Lord good Because we're supposed

to be living and walking and abiding in the impossible.

We're not supposed to be living a life in our

own strength. We're not supposed to sit and constantly fight

the first three enemies that we have the strength to beat.

We are called to face the other seven giants that

we cannot beat on our own unless he shows up.

I'm getting close, I promise, girl Galatians five twenty two

and twenty three. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,

self control, goodness. I'm almost landing, I promise. Second Corinthians

three seven to eleven. Now, if the ministry of death,

carved in letters one stone, came with such glory that

the Israelites could not gaze at Moses' face because its glory,

which was being brought to an end, will not the

ministry of the spirit have even more glory. For if

there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry

of righteousness must far exceed it in glory. Indeed, in

this case, what once had glory has come to have

no glory at all because of the glory that surpasses it.

For if what was being brought to an end came

with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory

Colossians one twenty seven. To them, God chose to make

known how great among the gentiles are the riches of

the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you,

the hope of glory, y'all. This thing's rigged. Is like

the twenty twenty election. I mean, you can't lose. Sorry,

I couldn't help myself. I'll be here all day, Romans

eight twenty eight. And we probably just lost our channel

for that joke, Romans eight twenty eight. And we know

that for those who love God, some things every once

in a while will work out. Hey, you read your Bible,

and we know that for those who love God, all

things work together for good, for those who are called

according to his purpose. I might say that he's so

good at working all things together for the good that

we actually attribute some of the bad things that he

turned good as him being the source of it. Did

you catch that? I don't know if I can. Let

me say it again. He is so good at working

all things together for the good that we actually attribute

the bad things that he turned good to him in

the first place. Romans twelve twenty one. Do not be

overcome by evil, but overcome evil with a bad attitude

with good. I don't know what did you see the

way they looked at me? Did you? I was in church.

You know how some of the lunches go after service?

We have roasted pastor or roasted. And then yes, they

were amazing. You heard about the couple, the invisible couple, right,

they had as they had a baby. But it wasn't

much to look at. That was your fault. You brought

my jokes up. Look I ran her out of here.

She can't even handle the joke. Just joking, all right?

Last one? And Anthony, can I get you on the keys?

So that's pretty decent, wasn't it. What do you think, Sean, No,

that was horrible. I know a guy who said gopher

Wood told his son to gopher Wood all right? Psalms

eighty four eleven of this place thinned out quicker than anything.

For the Lord God is a son and a shield.

The Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does

he withhold from those who walk up brightly. Last quote.

Jesus's resurrection is the beginning of God's new project, not

to snatch people away from Earth to Heaven, but to

colonize with the life of heaven. That, after all, is

what the Lord's prayer is about. And tea right, y'all,

this is what I want to challenge you with this week.

It's found in Acts ten thirty eight. It says in

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit

and with power. He went about doing good and healing

all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was

with him. Y'all, we have been left behind so that

we can see Heaven come to earth, so we can

see the works of the evil One destroyed. We can

see Hell plundered. We can see the harvest harvested. You

are the harvesters. You are the harvesters. Every morning you

wake up, you need to look in that mirror and say, Lord,

thank you for sending me into your harvest. Thank you

for not sending me out there spiritually naked. But you've

put weapons of righteousness in my right hand, in my left,

and you've placed me on earth in this region. Not

by happenstance, It was intentional. Act seventeen says that God

preordained the very time and history you would live, and

even your exact dwelling places. So that means there's geographical

anointing waiting for your arrival in every place that you

put your feet. The land will recognize you when you're

walking where He's called you a walk. The prayer teams

that come forward prayer teams. If y'all would, if you're

on the prayer team, please come forward in the name

of Jesus, please come. Oh you got some go ahead.

So when Justin today was talking about I was just

standing in the rock without walking by, and said, you

can't see my face, you'll surely die. So he puts

his hand in front, so there's a block already, and

still his skin radiated light. And while Justin was talking,

I was reading this, we forget how big he is.

We know what percentage of light that we can see,

the light the light around us, You know what percentage.

Of it that we can see?

Point zero zero three five percent. So the light that

he was radiating was point zero zero three five percent

of his glory without even looking at him through his

own hand.

So how much light was.

Moses carrying down off that mountain that people couldn't see.

How much did God affect his inner being or his

core that wasn't shown through the light, But everybody was

scaring the death because they were seeing points zero zero

three five of what God did to him.

On anyway, pretty cool, that's good, all right, y'all, don't

put a bushel over your light and don't be deceived

and thinking that you're not light. I always tell everybody

when it says this little light of mind, it's not little.

The God of the universe is inside of you, radiating light.

And when we allow him to prune us and grow us,

that light increases. You literally will shift a room because

of Christ in you. If you let him out, it's

like Superman let me out. So Father, I thank you

that we are naturally supernatural. Thank you for listening. For
