M hm. You're listening to the Cross Kingdom Sermon of the Week. We
-
hope you enjoy this message from Justin Carpenter. Awesome, oh man, Thursday,
-
y'all. I didn't know if I was going to be uh playing drums
-
or uh or speaking. I felt rough rough, rough, did dislike get
-
I don't ever remember this rocking before. Okay, AnyWho, I was gonna
-
say something, this is going to be really good, and I just went
-
right out of my mind. So the oh so the goal, y'all.
-
Our goal is February go to two services. So so for those of you
-
that like to get up earlier and come and you don't have kids, because
-
first service will not have all the extra kids church and all of that up
-
front until we continue to grow and uh add more servants. So continue to
-
pray into that and pray for the worship teams because they will be playing playing
-
twice and uh and whoever. And pray for the speakers because whoever teaches,
-
if they blow it the first service, they'll get another chance second service to
-
do it again. Oh man. So I've started, I've started praying and
-
asking the Lord about next year, and uh, you know, I don't
-
I don't. I don't try to do like a yearly word or anything,
-
but I do like to get a heads up, you know what I'm saying,
-
Like, Lord, do we need to keep our crash helmet on?
-
Or how are we doing? And I did hear one thing really clearly.
-
And I'm not done praying into things, but I heard a theme. It
-
says we do hard things. We do hard things. And you know,
-
I think we're poised, we're positioned right now to be hope in the midst
-
of chaos. I think that as it gets darker around us, when you
-
know Jesus, you're gonna shine brighter. And looking back over the last year,
-
you see you clearly see that the enemy is getting nervous. Where we
-
we have it has been. I don't know about y'all, but this is
-
probably one of the hardest years I've had for ministry. There were there were
-
moments where if I didn't know I was called and that my calling does not
-
have an expiration date, I probably would have quit. Just being truthful,
-
there were moments that intense and I'm not there now, so don't worry,
-
but thank you. Yeah, Galatians four fourth says, but when the fullness
-
of time had come, God sent forth his son, born of a woman
-
born under the law. You know, when we think about the fullness of
-
time, has anybody ever pondered that scripture? Specifically when the fullness of time
-
had come, that's when Jesus showed up. You have to understand something.
-
You talk about this contrast of darkness and light, and I think we really
-
need to wrap our heads around this issue of darkness and light because it says
-
gross darkness is going to cover the people and cover the earth. That's one
-
side of it. Do you think things are getting darker right now? Yeah?
-
Why do you suppose the darkness is trying to increase? Because what is
-
the enemy doing? He's opposing what God's doing. It says that the knowledge
-
of the glory of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the
-
sea. You are ambassadors of Christ right now, whether you like it or
-
not. God intentionally puts you on planet Earth right now at this point in
-
history, whether you like it or not. And I just want to tell
-
you, buckle up, and if you have a hard time with hard stuff,
-
you're gonna get more practice. There's never y'all. Look at the tension
-
and scriptures in this all through from Genesis to Revelation, the enemy never set
-
back and did nothing when God was on the move. The enemy was always
-
there to try to hinder things, to try to slow things down, and
-
the believe it or not. In the mid fifties, like fifty five to
-
fifty eight, we hit a peak with the church in the United States.
-
Like church attendants, fifty percent of America attended service weekly in the mid fifties.
-
Take a guess what today is twenty percent. Twenty percent of the United
-
States attends a weekly service twenty percent. See, we think of these things,
-
what you focus on, you make room for. Even on social media,
-
when you start looking at a certain subject on social media, algorithms kick
-
in and they actually start kicking more of that subject to you. And if
-
you don't understand how that works, all of a sudden, you get a
-
skewed picture of reality because all of a sudden, you're being bombarded with this.
-
But they're simply trying to feed your appetite. Are you with me?
-
Don't worry, We're not going to stay all doom and gloom. It's Christmas
-
people. I have a whole bunch of statistics, but I might depress you.
-
Mary becomes pregnant on the cuffs of four hundred years of silence. There's
-
a scripture for Samuel three to one. It says, now the boy Samuel
-
was ministering to the Lord in the presence of Eli, and the word of
-
the Lord was rare in those days. There was no frequent vision. I
-
want to submit to you this morning that the word of the Lord is much
-
rarer than you think. We got a whole lot of people honk him,
-
but not everything that's said can be validated. And in fact, I'll encourage
-
you on the twenty seventh to go to Remnant Radio and watch the review of
-
all the prophetic words of twenty twenty three and see how many of them actually
-
came to pass. See. I think we're on the cuffs of prophets rising
-
up like the days of old, where prophets will actually carry the word of
-
the Lord and Heaven will back them. We haven't necessarily been there over the
-
last several years, but I absolutely believe that God is about to raise up
-
some men and women that carry his word and fear him. They had four
-
hundred years of silence. Imagine some of y'all get upset because you haven't heard
-
anything for a couple of months. How would you like to try out four
-
hundred years people, you have the scrolls, you have the script. You
-
want a word, Get in the word. Amos eight eleven to twelve says,
-
Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord God, when I
-
will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor
-
a thirst of water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. They
-
shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east. They shall
-
run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, but they shall
-
not find it. This is painting, this picture of darkness. When Jesus
-
gets ready to show up in the fullness of time, it's the fullness of
-
darkness, a void of his word, his ram of word, four hundred
-
years of silence. People are wondering if the Messiah is ever going to show
-
up. People are thinking that this Messiah, when he shows up, he's
-
going to stop a mud hole in the Roman Empire and set up his earthly
-
kingdom right then and there. And all of a sudden, Jesus shows up
-
on the scene, and he's doing everything polar opposite of what everybody thinks he's
-
gonna do his own. Disciples don't even believe who he is. For a
-
long period of time, he goes, how long have I been with you
-
and you still don't see Isaiah nine, The people who walked in darkness have
-
seen a great light. Those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness on
-
them has light shone. This is the fullness of time for unto us,
-
a child is born. To us, a son is given. And the
-
government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful counselor
-
Mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, of the increase of his
-
government and of peace, there will be no end. You know, peace
-
is a weapon if you look at the pictograph meaning of the Hebrew word for
-
peace literally means to destroy the chaos that causes anxiety. So when Jesus said
-
peace to the storm, he killed the chaos of that storm that was not
-
coming from his father but coming from the enemy. He rebukes the disciples for
-
their unbelief because he already told them We're going to the other side. See
-
if you keep your eyes on the waves, that's exactly the life you're going
-
to have. In those moments when you can see Jesus on top of the
-
wave, you think life is awesome. And in those moments between the waves
-
and you can't see him, you're going to be petrified because it says he
-
was walking on the water and the waves were contrary. You could see him,
-
and then you couldn't see him, and then you could see him,
-
and then you couldn't see him, and you could see him. And it
-
was in the moment Peter was Lord of It's you command me to come out.
-
He goes, come, and he sees him, but then he doesn't
-
see him. An unbelief comes in, and that's exactly what it is today
-
with all the shakings, Anything that can be shaken will be shaken. And
-
in the midst of the shakings, you have this temptation where you can't see
-
Jesus the way you desire to see him in that moment, and all of
-
a sudden you're falling apart. Where'd you go? Lord? And he didn't
-
go anywhere. Just because you can't feel him doesn't mean he's not inside of
-
you, that he's not upon you. He is not emotion. He is
-
the God of the universe. And we need to understand that, we need
-
to tap into his unconscious presence. What do I mean by that that you
-
recognize his presence when you can't feel it. Everybody wants the mountaintops, but
-
warriors are built in the valley. See. We have a moment to rise
-
and shine and be the light that He called us to be. We can
-
actually live a life of holiness, of righteousness, pursuing him to where he
-
is justified to act on our behalf, where actually we don't have to try
-
to chase signs and wonders. They automatically follow us because we believe and we're
-
obedient. If you don't think that, we absolutely are desperate for God to
-
move sovereignly in this nation. We are on the cuffs of either total chaos
-
or move a God. And I believe that with all my heart. I
-
think that we have a whole lot of head knowledge about God, but not
-
as much heart knowledge. We have a whole bunch of people because they can
-
tell you facts and statistics about spirituality and about Jesus. That how they're experts,
-
but they don't know Jack, he said, my wife gave me a
-
look. I'm growing up, babe. I'm trying. I promise Sean's laughing
-
that you know they've been with me for a long time. One of the
-
scariest scriptures in the Bible, y'all, is Lord Lord, do we not
-
prophisign your name? Did we not cast out demons? Did we not do
-
miracles, signs and wonders? Listen, hear me. Let him cut you
-
deep in this hour, because your flesh can't go in this next season it
-
we'll truly surrender and live a life of submission. The glory of the Lord
-
is going to rest in a way that we've prayed and begged and dreamed of.
-
I believe that with all my heart. Salvation is free, relationship is
-
costly. And He does not he does not wink. He does not wink
-
at our disobedience. And it's all the little, stubborn, arrogant, rebellious
-
things that we do that we believe are little, not that big of a
-
deal, But in heaven they're huge. It's the little things that you refuse
-
to allow the Lord to cut from you that's actually keeping you from your promotion.
-
Who Isaiah sixty one to two, A rise, shine, for your
-
light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
-
For behold darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the people's But the
-
Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen on you.
-
Isaiah sixty that this is an Isaiah sixty hour. You were made for this
-
hour, every one of you. You were made to show the world what
-
family's supposed to look like. You were made to show the world what a
-
husband's supposed to look like, what a wife is supposed to look like,
-
what a family unit is supposed to look like. You understand that the Hebrews
-
mindset does not divide their life up. Everything is holiness unto the Lord.
-
Everything they do, whether they're with their family and their living room, playing
-
family games, or they're exercising, whatever they're doing, it's all unto the
-
Lord. They don't have a Greek mindset where they're dividing everything up. Their
-
whole life is to the Lord. You want to read the little booklet by
-
Brother Lawrence practicing the Presence. Listen. You are always thinking a hope,
-
otherwise you're in trouble. Every one of you. You're constantly thinking, so
-
why not think about God? When it says pray without ceasing, it doesn't
-
mean well, some of you all drive like you are. But it doesn't
-
mean your eyes are closed and you're going down the street praying, but you're
-
you're communing, your communing with the Lord. I used to wear a bracelet,
-
and every time I look down on it, it would remind me what
-
am I thinking of right now? I promise you, if you get into
-
a place where you begin to capture the downtime of your life with the Lord,
-
then when you get those bigger pockets of intimacy where you can really focus
-
and get alone with him, those times will be that much mo betta,
-
thank you all for bearing with me on getting on the other side of this
-
cold a back at two fourteen. For the earth will be filled with the
-
knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
-
How is the earth filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord.
-
It's by you. It's by you fulfilling the great commission and going and declaring
-
the knowledge of the Gospel of the Kingdom that Jesus died for sinners. It's
-
the gospel of the Kingdom that you carry, this eternal gospel, this message
-
that Paul took so seriously, said, my gospel. That was the intensity
-
that Paul had He says, it's my gospel, and we need to have
-
that same intensity of ownership over the gospel of the Kingdom in this hour,
-
because there's a world that's lost, that doesn't know their head from the ground.
-
Half of them can't even figure out how they were born. Listen,
-
y'all, it is time to arise and be light to darkness. You have
-
to understand when he says you are the light of the world, it's because
-
the light of the world is inside of you. He is light, You
-
are light. God is light, He is eternal light. He who is
-
light said, let there be light. Eternal light spoken, light created light.
-
Everything is light, every fabric, even the particles on your chair.
-
Your chairs are vibrating right now. Oh that was a bad joke, all
-
right, never mind, I was getting yep, I caught it. See
-
I'm grown up. And but it's everything is moving, the part the atoms
-
are moving so fast. It's like this, even though it's moving. And
-
at the very substance, the gluons and the mesons are literally light. And
-
your spirit is light. And when Jesus said, look, the eyes are
-
the windows to your soul, and he goes, if that light in you
-
is dark? How great is that darkness? But if your eyes are clear,
-
if your eyes are full of light, then your whole body is full
-
of light. But you can't walk in a fence and bitterness and unforgiveness and
-
self pity and expect to radiate light to the world. You want to know
-
why the world's not busting the doors of the churches down number one, because
-
we're supposed to go. When was the shift in this country where we think
-
the world's just gonna come piling in? He didn't say come, He said
-
go John one to five. The light shines in the darkness, and the
-
darkness has not overcome it. I remember, early on, early, early,
-
early on, in my deliverance days, this spirit came all the way
-
forward, I mean full blown. That person was out of there somewhere in
-
the background, and the spirit came all the way forward and said I'm gonna
-
kill you and I'm gonna kill your family. And it was not holly.
-
I mean, it was a gnarly I mean it was y'all. This was
-
you know, like I don't know, long time ago, long enough to
-
where I had a moment to either pee my pants or are mad up in
-
that hour, and something rose up in me because darkness cannot overcome light.
-
And I got three inches from that person's face, who was no longer present
-
at that moment, and I put my hands out and I go, why
-
wait, you got to go through my father first, And all of a
-
sudden it went. Your promotions come in the battlefield. In fact, the
-
most powerful encounters of God are gonna happen in your life when you've become obedient
-
to your calling. And you go, if you're sitting around waiting thinking you're
-
just gonna have why is the Lord gonna give you angelic visitations and all these
-
things? When you're just sitting there, You're in a holy huddle, and
-
everybody's like, oh, look how bright we are. Look you shine,
-
I shine. That's as great as an impersonation. I got sorry John eight
-
twelve. And Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of
-
the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have
-
the light of life. What are you delighting in today? Are you delighting
-
in the light of life? Do you understand that this abundant life that he
-
died for, that he paid the most brutal price, This abundant life is
-
not found in your soul. The abundant life is found walking in the spirit.
-
See, I think our souls rule us way more than we think.
-
And I think many times we're walking and strongholds of our soul, and we
-
think we're walking in the spirit. You understand, your soul is your mind,
-
your will, and your emotions. The soul is not all bad.
-
You need your soul to love the Lord, your God with all of your
-
heart, with all of your soul and all of your strength. But the
-
soul makes a horrible master. Do we truly know? And oh, in
-
case you haven't figured it out, exposures happening all over the place right now.
-
They're talking about Epstein's flight log being exposed, exposure in every political sphere
-
of influence. For years, I've been saying it's not time to have sin
-
in your life, especially if you're a leader. And I remember years and
-
years and years ago John All said, you will be shocked at the spiritual
-
leaders that get uncovered, and for the type of sexual morality they're being uncovered.
-
And and there's there's you know, there's things happening right now. There's
-
leaders right now being exposed there was there was a leader out of Dallas that
-
just got some serious allegations. And if what's being said comes out, y'all
-
character character, character character, Trump's gifting. God is not impressed with your
-
gift. He gave it to you. You understand that, right, He's
-
the creator of your gift. He's not impressed with your gifting. There are
-
times where I can prophisy through a whole room and give details, and there
-
are other times I don't know my head from the ground and guess what.
-
As long as my character is good and my identity correct, then when I
-
don't have these mountaintop moments, prophetically, I'm totally at peace because my identity
-
is not what I do, it's who I am. I'm a son.
-
There is so much accusation happening in the body of Christ right now. People
-
are accusing and accusing and accusing. Do you know, accusations the work of
-
the enemy. And there's one reason, because if you take the bait of
-
accusation, then you get offended. And if you get offended, then you
-
divide, and a house divided cannot stand. When you're offended, you will
-
hear things that were never said. You'll see things that aren't reality, and
-
you will be offended until you are no longer offended. You don't have the
-
right to be right. You don't, We don't, none of us.
-
We don't have the right to be right. We have the right to be
-
dead. Jesus made himself a no reputation. Wouldn't it be awesome if we
-
could get that? Instead, we're trying to make ourselves of great reputation all
-
over the place. Fire falls on sacrifice, not pride. You all with
-
me, Merry Christmas. I almost did a movie quote. Sorry, I'm
-
doing really good. Aren't you proud of me? This morning? Sean,
-
I'm like, I'm almost acting mature up here. I know. Don't push
-
it, don't push it. I just got a couple more scriptures for you.
-
We are going to get out of here early today. So, but
-
if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have
-
fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus's son cleanses us from all
-
sin. If we walk in the light, understand, all the scriptures were
-
written for believers. All of the scriptures and the New Covenant are written for
-
us, y'all. Yeah. John three, nineteen to twenty one and this
-
is the judgment. The light has come into the world, and the people
-
loved the darkness rather than the light, because their works were evil. For
-
everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light
-
lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to
-
the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been
-
carried out in God. Listen, James gives us the safety valve. It
-
says, confess your sins one to another, and pray for one another that
-
you might be what healed. So look, it's real simple. If you're
-
living in the light and you blow it, repent and stay in the light.
-
When I LISTA and I got into an argument last night, just a
-
brief, little moment. We've had twenty four years of lists most of the
-
time, right. But here's the thing. When you confess, you pulled
-
it out of darkness, you brought it into the light. It's cleansed by
-
the blood of Jesus, and now the enemy has no legal right to mess
-
with you. Live in the light. We're all listen. If you're looking
-
for perfect leaders, you're not gonna find them. Even leaders are in process.
-
Even leaders are learning how to lead. Even leaders are maturing. If
-
you're looking for perfection on any of this leadership, the elders or anybody,
-
you're gonna have to leave because we are not perfect. Okay. I know
-
some of y'all might think that Sean flies into his outfit every morning before he
-
leads worship, but that's not true. I know Sean, Sean knows me.
-
Sometimes we look exactly well, very close to Jesus, and then there
-
are moments that we're not that bright. But you know what, we're all
-
in process. If we can humble ourselves and stop judging each other's processes,
-
we'll actually have unity in the body. It will actually be okay with where
-
each of us are at. You may see somebody over here cussing like a
-
sailor, not y'all, not Carla like over here, like somewhere out there,
-
and you have a temptation to judge them in that moment and get all
-
offended. But what if they literally just came off the street and just got
-
saved three days ago, know where they're at. It says we're called to
-
judge righteously. Right There was a man sent from God whose name was John.
-
He came as a witness to bear witness about the light that all might
-
believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness
-
about the light. The true light, which gives light to everyone, was
-
coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world made
-
through him, and the world made through him, Yet the world did not
-
know him. You all understand that John was called the greatest prophet, and
-
he didn't have one single personal prophecy, not one single personal recorded prophecy.
-
Do you know, personal prophecy doesn't mean you're a prophet. It doesn't all
-
can prophisy one Grinthians fourteen. Because the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of
-
prophecy Revelation nineteen ten. Then there's the gift of prophecy, which when you
-
find yourself prophisying and encouraging and comforting, edification, exhortation and comfort spirit,
-
soul, and body. When you find yourself doing that often, then it
-
points to a gift. But there's lots of people out there that have a
-
legitimate gift of prophecy, but they're not prophets, and yet they call themselves
-
prophets. We've got to grow up in the church and be able to recognize
-
the gifts operating in people. You need to understand your gift. You need
-
to understand the way it moves through you, the way God partners with you,
-
because everyone is unique. And when we get into these these mud slinging
-
contests in the body of Christ, you're throwing mud at someone who has created
-
in God's image a rise and shine. A rise and shine, it says,
-
for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in
-
the Lord. Walk as children of light, for the fruit of light is
-
found in all that is good and right and true. And try to discern
-
what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in unfruitful works of darkness,
-
but instead expose them, for it is shameful even to speak of things
-
that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed by the light,
-
it becomes visible. For anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore, it
-
says, awake, oh sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ
-
will shine on you. I it changed my spiritual life when I actually begin
-
to think and color what do I mean by that? Because God is light
-
and you are light. You actually think in light metaphorically thinking, but you're
-
literally light see. If we really believed that we were the light of the
-
world, we would walk into rooms and light them up for for for you
-
revelatory people that have discerning spirits. Please do not get caught up in only
-
focusing on the dark when you enter a room. Yeah, listen, it
-
doesn't It doesn't take long for us to see darkness. It doesn't take it
-
doesn't take somebody's intergalactic international apostolic profit to realize people got dirt. We are
-
called to call the gold out in people. We are called to call them
-
up. We are called to go into darkness and take the treasures out of
-
darkness. There's a word over this house. It says God's called you to
-
clean all the ones that everybody else is afraid of. And I want to
-
say not just afraid of. People don't want to deal with all the poop.
-
How many churches do you know that if you go in and I'm not
-
pointing fingers locally or I'm just asking a question, that people feel like they
-
can come in and be loved where they're at and truly be championed. Well,
-
we desire to be that. Are we perfect? Absolutely not, But
-
that's at the forefront. Two left This is the message we've heard from him
-
and proclaimed to you, that God is light, and in him is no
-
darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk
-
in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we
-
walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship
-
with one another, and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin.
-
No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under
-
a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see
-
the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye
-
is healthy, your whole body is full of light. But when it is
-
bad, your body is full of darkness. Therefore, be careful lest the
-
light in you be darkness. If your whole body is full of light,
-
having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp
-
with its rays give you light. The abundant life is found on the highway
-
of holiness. The abundant life is found in a pursuit of righteousness. When
-
we are surrendered unto the Lord, walking in spirit and truth, we are
-
literally radiating that life. And the more we allow the Lord to transform us,
-
the brighter, we shine, y'all. There's very few people I've met,
-
probably three my whole life, that if they were one hundred and fifty
-
feet from you, you could feel them. They literally change the atmosphere.
-
They lit the room up, and it's because of Christ in them, the
-
hope of glory. One was John Paul Jackson. How was at a conference
-
and all of a sudden I could feel the atmosphere shifting, getting brighter and
-
brighter, and I'm like, what in the world. I'm like looking where,
-
like what is going on? And I was like, who in the
-
world is carrying the Lord? Like that no exaggeration, And at about thirty
-
seconds later, here comes John Paul around the corner that invitation to carry Jesus
-
for every one of us? How bad do we want to know? When
-
he said, Peter, do you love me more than these? Too much?
-
In the Western Church, we fit Jesus into our life and call it
-
holiness. We give him a couple hours a week and say we're spiritual.
-
The world's dying to hear the truth. Every one of you are literally Christmas
-
presents to the world, waiting to be unwrapped to see the light you carry.
-
Will you make yourself of no reputation. Will you stay humble? Will
-
you live a life with humility? Are you willing to overlook an offense?
-
Are you willing to love your enemies? Hardest question I ever had in my
-
life was when the Lord said, will you love Judas? Will we love
-
Judas? Will we love our enemies? Will we truly pray for those that
-
persecute us? Will we bless them and not curse them? If you're offended,
-
you'll always want to be right. You have to be right. But
-
when you know God is the vindicator, that God vindicates us and his timing,
-
then we don't have to carry living a life of vindication. We allow
-
him to be God and we are as kids. So if you're unwrapped right
-
now, what are they going to get? If you're a gift on Christmas
-
and you get unwrapped, what's the world going to get? Almost done?
-
Promise Sean? Could you come up and do you know there's twenty four elders
-
around God's throne and there's twenty four colors on a color wheel? Do you
-
know the rainbow and found in Revelation four the throne room, Yeah, represents
-
the seven spirits of God the manorah represents the seven spirits of God. Isaiah
-
eleven two talks about Jesus, and it says, there shall come forward a
-
shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear
-
fruit, and the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit
-
of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of
-
knowledge, and the fear of the Lord. And when you take that rainbow
-
and you align it with Isaiah eleven with the seven spirits of God, all
-
of a sudden you understand wisdom is read and the fear of the Lord is
-
purple. You begin to get context to this whole issue of God being light,
-
you being light. Colors matter, even your gift has a color.
-
And when you're moving in revelation, you'll radiate blue light. You have a
-
dream and you have a strongholden. Orange is in the dream. That's because
-
you're stubborn. And I'm not looking at you, But y'all, there's all
-
these nuggets. Go look at the twelve tribes, look at their colors from
-
the breastplate, and then understand the characteristics of those colors. And all of
-
a sudden, now this whole issue of this little light of mine. All
-
of a sudden you are light, and you are radiating that light because the
-
light of the world is inside of you. And then all of a sudden
-
you begin to live a spiritual life where you walk into a room and you
-
change the atmosphere. People are changed without you talking because Christ is in you,
-
and that light is touching the darkness on those people, and the darkness
-
does not overcome the light. So I pray that this morning we all walk
-
away shining a little brighter, that we walk away realizing that we carry an
-
eternal gospel of hope for a lost and dying world. And the Lord is
-
inside of you, for you, but he's resting on you for others.
-
Did Jeff something I want to grab the four micro quicken? Yeah? I
-
don't so many so I have a what I feel like the Lord's saying,
-
is are you pregnant with the promise? Many times we don't think about Mary
-
on an angel appeared to her gave her a word that she's having going to
-
have a child, the Son of God. He then appeared to Joseph to
-
confirm his word to be together, and then she finds herself nine months pregnant
-
on the back of a donkey in the middle of the nine Where's God?
-
If I'm having a son of God, why wouldn't it be different? Why
-
would this road not be so hard? Why wouldn't there be a place for
-
us to stay? How many times did it? Did it? Did she
-
have opportunity to doubt what God had said and what God had done? So
-
I would encourage you. Are you pregnant with the promise? Don't let those
-
things of doubt, the little things, get in the way from what God
-
is worth within you. Yeah, good word, good word. Remember this.
-
Don't let unbelief steal your voice. Because there was two different responses.
-
When the angel came, Mary was like, well how would this be?
-
And then guess who said, well, how is this going to happen?
-
Oh? Okay, don't get to talk until he's born. Unbelief will steal
-
your voice. Don't let it steal your voice. Don't give up, It
-
says, wait for it, the vision though at Terry, wait for it.
-
It will surely come to pass. Can I have the proteins come up?
-
We do have a protein somewhere. There's a couple of people. Okay,
-
