-
Welcome to the Destiny Church and Throne podcast.
-
We pray that stirs you into a deeper relationship with Jesus and equips you to live a heaven-on-earth lifestyle daily.
-
Enjoy.
-
Oh yes, yes, Jesus.
-
Thank you, Jesus.
-
Come on.
-
As you said, just keep your eyes on Jesus.
-
Come on.
-
Come on.
-
Just keep your eyes on Jesus.
-
Don't disengage.
-
It's not about some man coming up here.
-
It's Jesus.
-
Come on, don't disengage.
-
Oh, thank you.
-
Yeah, come on.
-
I just want to stir you up this morning.
-
If anything, the word that I just want to share, just I hope it can stir you up.
-
Uh to understand that there's no more boundaries between you and Jesus.
-
I hope the word can stir you up that you can truly go all in with Jesus.
-
That Jesus wants all of you.
-
And that he wants you.
-
He wants you.
-
I'm praying that this word can stir you up and knowing that.
-
And all the days of your life, every day of your life, Monday, Tuesday, every day, to know that He wants you and He desires you.
-
He wants to be with you.
-
Nothing you have done, nothing you will do can change His mind and saying, I don't want you anymore.
-
Come on, there's no more boundaries.
-
Come on.
-
The enemy will love to set boundaries in your life for you and Jesus.
-
I mean if you don't know boundaries, what you set a limit between you and somebody.
-
If you ever look up the word boundary, it actually talks about like setting limits, like not overcommitting to somebody.
-
The enemy will love to do that with you and Jesus so you don't overcommit yourself to him.
-
So you don't truly devote your life to him and fully commit to Jesus.
-
The enemy will love to do that in your life.
-
Ah, thank you, Jesus.
-
One thing I love is truly as I, you know, grew grew in worship.
-
As I just, you know, ask the Lord some days, like, Lord, like, man, like I just want to grow in my worship more and more to you.
-
One of the greatest things have helped me, probably the greatest thing, honestly, that has helped me is to understand what Jesus did for me on the cross.
-
It's just to simply believe and understand what he did for me on the cross.
-
Has allowed my life to become a life of worship to him and all the things I do.
-
That's not look at the cross as just some symbol.
-
Or to look at some cross, it's just something else, but it's truly a reality and truly believe Jesus died for me and spilled his blood for me.
-
And all my sins are forgiven.
-
And that he sees me righteous, which means what I'm right.
-
I'm right living because of him, not because of nothing I can do.
-
Jesus truly says as he's alive, what the res what his death meant, it was just three days later why he says, I'm gonna destroy the temple.
-
Three days later, why I'm gonna rebuild it again.
-
And then I mean you think it's very funny, probably like to think like sometimes in that time period you're living when Jesus was alive, like you know, on the earth.
-
It's just funny how like right when he died the veil was torn.
-
It's just funny because you would think, like, man, like why?
-
And just Jesus is simple.
-
He was just showing us, he was inviting us, saying there's no more boundaries.
-
There's nothing that can now hold you back from me.
-
Seriously, like when he died, that was one of the first things that happened on this earth.
-
The veil was destroyed.
-
Seriously, when he died, that is what happened.
-
That was like one of the first like signs people saw to say this was the true Son of God.
-
Was that the veil was torn?
-
I'm telling you, there's no more boundaries between you and Jesus.
-
He's calling you right now, he's calling you this morning.
-
So he's inviting you right now to be all in with him.
-
I love it.
-
I love you know, my favorite story all know.
-
I'm telling you, if you truly believe in the cross and what is done for you, you will have bold, you will have bold worship.
-
I believe people who truly believe in the cross have bold worship.
-
People who understand what the cross did for them, you will have bold worship.
-
You will have a worship that says, God, I want to go all in with you.
-
You will have a worship that says, Jesus, I'm fully devoted and committed to you.
-
It's because of the cross, because of what he did for you.
-
Ah, yeah, let us stir you up to fall deeply in love with him.
-
I love it.
-
I know one thing, um, you know, it's so funny because uh there's a man, uh, a man uh we all know in the Bible, Saul in the Old Testament.
-
Uh he's very corrupted, tormented by the enemy all the days of his life.
-
Uh it's funny because in uh I believe it's in 1 Samuel 10.
-
In 1 Samuel 10 22, it talks about this.
-
It says, When God called him to be king, like I say, if you don't know Saul, like I say, he was very corrupted.
-
Whenever uh God told him to give sacrifices, he didn't.
-
He kept it for himself.
-
He kept the best.
-
The Bible literally says he kept the best for himself.
-
When God said, Hey, you know, give the sacrifice.
-
So when they first ever called Saul to be king, this is the first time ever, they were like, Man, this is the king we're looking for.
-
It's in 1 Samuel 10 22.
-
The Bible says this when God called Saul, he told the prophet Samuel, go find Saul.
-
He's gonna be the next king.
-
You know, it's funny, Samuel couldn't find him.
-
So the Bible says, Samuel could not find Saul.
-
And the reason why Samuel couldn't find Saul, 1 Samuel 10 22, it says, Saul was hiding in his baggage.
-
That's what it talks about.
-
It says Saul was hiding in his baggage.
-
Come on, we know today in this time where people will say I have a lot of baggage.
-
They made a game show about it, honestly.
-
Literally.
-
What does that mean?
-
Like you're telling the truth about them.
-
You're telling them, you know, you don't want to hide in your baggage.
-
You're telling them everything about you.
-
You're not gonna hide in your baggage.
-
But literally, when God called Saul, he told Samuel, hey, go find Saul.
-
It says, Saul hid in his baggage.
-
Today, so many Christians love to hide in their baggage.
-
Why?
-
Because they don't understand what the blood of Jesus has done for them.
-
They don't understand the cross and they're fully what?
-
There's a boundary.
-
Their baggage is a boundary, so what?
-
They're not fully devoted to Jesus.
-
Ask yourself right now, say, God, man, have I been hiding in some baggage in my life?
-
Is there a baggage in my life that I've been hiding in?
-
When there's an area in my life where I'm truly not devoted to you all the way?
-
Is there something in my life that hinders me to truly be all in with you, Jesus?
-
Is there a boundary that I set up before me and you, Jesus?
-
Man, Samuel could not find Saul because he was hiding in his baggage.
-
And I love it.
-
And there's another man we all know.
-
His name's David.
-
Oh man, he was a man after God's heart.
-
It says in 1 Samuel 17, 22, when they say, go find David, they say, go find David.
-
And the Bible says in 1 Samuel 17, 22, it says, David left his baggage.
-
The Bible says David left his baggage.
-
And this was a man who truly was devoted to God.
-
He was far by means perfect.
-
But he was he was devoted to Jesus.
-
He was devoted to God, and he did not allow any boundary to be set up in his life between him and God.
-
So 1 Samuel 10 22, when they call Saul to be king, they couldn't find him.
-
He hid in his baggage.
-
And when they call for David in 1 Samuel 17, 22, the Bible says David left his baggage.
-
And he was a man after God's own heart.
-
He was a man devoted to God.
-
He was far by means perfect.
-
But he didn't allow any baggage to be a boundary for him and God.
-
And what's funny, he brought an entire nation to this belief.
-
He brought an entire nation when Moses was king, when Moses was the main spiritual leader.
-
Guess what?
-
There was a veil that made a boundary before people to come in.
-
But when David came onto the scene, he told an entire nation, let's all worship God together 24-7.
-
He said, Let's all come before God.
-
Why?
-
Because I believe he left his baggage.
-
He was a man that did not want to hide in his baggage.
-
Why?
-
Because he understood who God was.
-
So I just want to encourage you today, don't hide in your baggage.
-
Understand what the crosses did for you.
-
Understand that you can boldly come before God.
-
You don't gotta hide in your baggage.
-
You don't gotta allow your baggage to become a boundary before Jesus.
-
Don't allow something to say, I don't want to fully be devoted to Jesus right now.
-
Because you have you're hiding in your baggage.
-
Come on, check your heart right now.
-
David was a man that said, God, search me.
-
God, search me.
-
We always gotta say that to God, right?
-
Search me, God.
-
Search me, God.
-
Come on.
-
Every day, every Monday, whatever it is, say, dig God, I'm leaving my baggage.
-
If there's anything, just say, God, I'm leaving it behind.
-
I'm not hiding in it no more.
-
It's not a boundary.
-
I set it before you no more.
-
I'm high, I'm I'm leaving it all behind.
-
And go after him.
-
Thank you, Jesus.
-
Come on.
-
Thank you, Lord.
-
And like I said, it's just you have to understand, like I said, the cross and what it did for you.
-
He didn't die because you're some filthy sinner.
-
I'm telling you, he died because he loved you.
-
He died.
-
That's why it says, God's what?
-
So loved the world.
-
I'm telling you, he is in love with you.
-
It's time for us to be in love with him.
-
James 4.8 says, What?
-
Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you.
-
Come on.
-
He's he's I'm telling you, he's madly in love with you right now.
-
I want y'all to get that and understand that and believe it.
-
That he's madly in love with you right now.
-
He wants you.
-
Believe me.
-
There's nothing that can, like I said, there's no more hindrance.
-
Only if you set it up yourself.
-
There's no more, there's nothing between you and God anymore.
-
The cross destroyed anything that can come.
-
That's why I says, What?
-
Nothing can what?
-
Separate you.
-
Nothing can separate you anymore.
-
I'm telling you, the cross has destroyed it all.
-
The last thing I would say, it's uh it's Mary.
-
Um this is takes place at this takes place on the resurrection.
-
Um it's Mary, someone we love to talk about here and teach on about just someone that was in love with Jesus, honestly.
-
But uh Mary, John 29, 9 through 10, it talks about something.
-
It says uh for until then they still hadn't understood the scripture that said Jesus must rise from the dead.
-
And the Bible says the next verse says, so they went home.
-
This was Peter and John, I believe, that you know they came and they didn't understand something, so they said, you know what?
-
We're going home.
-
But there was a lady that stood and stayed and encountered Jesus when he resurrected, and her name is Mary.
-
In John 20, it talks about Mary was standing outside the tomb crying and just weeping, and it goes on and talks about Jesus came before her and gives her a message to go share.
-
I love it because sometimes in our life, again, when we don't understand something, we're so quick to draw back.
-
Sometimes when we don't understand something, we're so quick to be like, I'm just going home.
-
But it once again, this woman named Mary, who just fully devoted to Jesus, stayed and encountered Jesus.
-
Don't let don't let something you say, man, I don't understand what's going on.
-
I don't fully understand the Bible.
-
Blame me, none of us fully understand the Bible all the way.
-
There's still so much mystery God wants to show us.
-
But it's our love that keeps us here.
-
It's our love for Him that keeps us going.
-
Because I'm telling you, when you're not in love with Jesus, I'm telling you, it's hard for you to keep going.
-
It's hard for you to be consistent.
-
It's hard.
-
That's why some people who aren't in love with Jesus, they come to church, and what happens?
-
They just go home.
-
There's nothing they take with them.
-
They're not in love.
-
But when you're in love with Jesus all the way, you're not gonna allow something that just gets like, I don't understand, I'm going home.
-
But you're going to stay, and you're going to just cry and weep.
-
And you're going to encounter Jesus.
-
She was someone that encountered Jesus, so I encourage you.
-
Don't allow something a trial.
-
Don't allow a trial, because so many times we can go through trials, right?
-
Be like, I don't understand what's happening, God.
-
What's going on in my life?
-
You promised me this, you promised me that.
-
And it can eat us and it can steal our joy, it can steal our gaze.
-
But I'm telling you, when you're truly devoted to Jesus, you say, I don't care.
-
I just want to sit at his feet right now and trust him.
-
I trust him.
-
It's hard to trust someone you're not in love with.
-
It's hard to trust someone you don't know.
-
But I'm telling you, he's calling us to have no more boundaries.
-
He's calling us to not hide in our baggage.
-
He's calling us to leave it all behind.
-
And he's saying, Come, draw close to me, and I'll draw close to you.
-
I mean, he says that for a reason.
-
He says that because he's showing us, like, hey.
-
You know, it's like it's like a marriage.
-
You know, my wife wouldn't marry me.
-
She would straight up tell me for like, Will you marry me?
-
She would have been like, no.
-
Why?
-
Because she's not, you know, interesting me like that, right?
-
But that's what God's saying to us.
-
Like, when you say, hey, would you come close to me?
-
He's saying, Yes, I draw close to you.
-
Because he wants us.
-
But like I said, stay, stay, stay at his feet.
-
Don't allow something, a trial, to come into your life, say, man, I don't understand what's going on.
-
This is wild.
-
I should like what's going on in my life right now.
-
Just I'm telling you, when you're devoted to Jesus, you're gonna stay at his feet.
-
And you're gonna keep crying and weeping at his feet.
-
He's gonna keep you there, and you're going to have an encounter with him.
-
That's gonna not just say, Hey, I have an encounter, but he's gonna he's gonna to give you something to say, go tell the others.
-
Go tell the others, go tell them, go tell them, go tell the others.
-
That's what happened.
-
It was an encounter that gave something to her to say, go tell others, because she stayed.
-
Anyway, stand up.
-
Thank you, Jesus.
-
Something simple, something like I said, hope can stir you up to say, Jesus, that I don't gotta hide in my baggage anymore.
-
I don't gotta hide there anymore.
-
Like I said, there's something in your heart right now that can say it's a baggage.
-
I'm telling you.
-
Or maybe you've been hurt before in the past by a relationship, and you're like, man, I'm afraid to open up.
-
Who knows?
-
Open up to Jesus.
-
I'm telling you.
-
He loves you.
-
That's like I said, that's what the cross did.
-
There's no more boundaries.
-
He's not gonna say, get away from me.
-
He's like I said, he's in love with you.
-
So Jesus, we don't want to hide in our baggage anymore.
-
We don't want to be like Adam and Eve when they first sent, and God's like, Where are you?
-
We don't want to be hiding anymore in our shame.
-
We don't want to be hiding anymore because we're feel guilty.
-
But Jesus, we thank you for dying for us.
-
We thank you for spilling your blood so we don't gotta hide anymore.
-
So we can boldly come before you.
-
Father, I pray everybody in this room, God, can have a jealous heart for you right now.
-
I pray right now, God, in Jesus' name, God, everybody in this room would know that you are madly in love with them and you will birth a love in them.
-
I pray, God, nobody in this room, God, I pray that we're not hiding their baggage, but instead they'll just leave it and say, Jesus, I'm going after you.
-
Come on.
-
I pray, God, that we would not feel guilty anymore.
-
We would not set up a boundary, but the veil has been torn.
-
Everybody in this room will understand.
-
It's by the blood of Jesus.
-
Like I said, I pray that they would understand what the blood did for them.
-
The sacrifice did for them.
-
They would not allow a veil to be put up before them anymore, but they would go all in with you, Jesus.
-
I pray, God, right now.
-
Come on, declare that over yourself.
-
I'm all in, Jesus.
-
Come on, I'm fully devoted to you, Jesus, because I love you.
-
I'm not devoted to you because what you can do for me.
-
I'm not devoted to you because I want some blessing or something like that.
-
I'm devoted to you because I love you.
-
I'm devoted to you because I love you.
-
That's why David left his baggage.
-
He had the worst of the worst jobs.
-
He wasn't devoted to God because he can give him a kingdom.
-
He was devoted to God because you were just madly in love with him.
-
God, let us be devoted to you, nothing else, because we love you.
-
It doesn't matter what journey of life we take.
-
It doesn't matter what season we're in.
-
We want to be devoted to you.
-
It doesn't matter if you say, give me all of your give me all of your money, give me all of your wages.
-
The Alabashajar woman gave every single bit she had.
-
Because she wasn't devoted to Jesus because of something she had, but because she loved him.
-
So, Father, we thank you, God.
-
I pray everybody in this room will be devoted to you.
-
And I pray, God, if they're not, they're open up and we try to help them as much as we can, Holy Spirit.
-
We want to be devoted to you, Jesus, in this house.
-
We are a house of devotion.
-
We are a house of devotion, God.
-
Come on.
-
Just say that over yourself.
-
I'm a house of devotion.
-
I'm a house of devotion.
-
I've sought.
-
This is God Himself saying this.
-
I've sought a man to be after my own heart.
-
Come on, will you be that man?
-
Will you be that person that says I'm after God's heart?
-
I'm not after nothing else.
-
I'm not through silver.
-
I'm after God's heart.
-
So, Father, we thank you so much.
-
And as usual, we thank you for dying for us.
-
We thank you for giving everything you have.
-
We thank you for loving us first.
-
So we thank you for that, Jesus.
-
We love you.
-
We're thankful.
-
We're thankful.
-
Ah, in Jesus' name, Amen.
-
Anyway, we love y'all.
-
And like we always said.
