  1. Hi, and welcome to the, we assign someone podcast.

  2. We are local church based here in Chennai, India.

  3. We are so glad you are with us and hope that this will

  4. encourage Inspire. And in still, fresh faith.

  5. In you as we enter the season of Lent, we begin a new series

  6. called come alive with Jesus. Many of us may feel like we are

  7. Walking through life, or not feeling Fully Alive through this

  8. series, we hope that you will discover that in close proximity

  9. with the Savior. You will fully come alive.

  10. We have guests. So my rule share the word today.

  11. He teaches us how to live Fully Alive by being completely

  12. delivered and set free as Christ intended.

  13. Listen in and ask God to help you walk in his Freedom.

  14. High church is such a joy and a privilege to be bringing God's

  15. word to you and As we've started this new Lenten series, I

  16. believe God wants to minister to us.

  17. God wants to speak to us. God wants us to meet with him

  18. face-to-face. I know whom you have started.

  19. The bible plan, but I honestly feel God's really doing

  20. something in me as I'm doing that.

  21. Bible plan. So I would encourage you.

  22. If you can take some time everyday, I know it's past

  23. Ashwin is D and that, you know, you would probably go in a few

  24. more days post-easter but I believe that God, God wants to

  25. meet with us and even as we started, are you doing this

  26. anti-seize called come alive in Jesus?

  27. I believe, God wants us to dearly come alive.

  28. Last week, we saw what it is to be, you know, we are like Jars

  29. of Clay, but the one who's within us is important.

  30. The one who's within us is the one who gives us life the one

  31. who's within us sets us free. The one who's within us causes

  32. us to dream to think to do things for eternity to have a To

  33. have a mind so that you're not caught up in, you know, the just

  34. being broken. He is the pottery.

  35. So as Tina concluded that, you know, as it says that he molds

  36. us and he shapes us how close is that?

  37. And I would rather be in the hands of God so that he can

  38. shape me and so today's topic that I want to talk to you today

  39. is come alive to be delivered and set.

  40. Free only a one. Deliverance homie is want to be

  41. set free from lot of things. You know, we might not probably

  42. fall into To the category of you know like drug addiction or

  43. probably alcohol or you know, sexually Model T.

  44. But we do have certain things where we need deliverance from.

  45. We do need certain things appear.

  46. Set need to be set free from. For some of us who are still

  47. struggling with the things that I mentioned, there is nothing

  48. big, nothing. Small, nothing.

  49. That's, you know, oh no why why you stuck in this, everything in

  50. front of God's eyes are the same.

  51. When he came to save, he came to save all of humanity from sin

  52. and I want to leave you with that thought today.

  53. Because in that case, you know I wouldn't look down on someone

  54. else. I wouldn't look down and you

  55. know feel pity or I wouldn't look down and think you know

  56. what they are? Seeing is bigger.

  57. No. I would always come to the

  58. throne room of God. I would always come into the

  59. house of worship saying, God, I want to be set free, I need your

  60. grace more than ever before. And so today, as we look into

  61. this entire thing of being delivered and being set free,

  62. these are things that just don't happen.

  63. You know? It just doesn't happen that you

  64. decided, you know. Okay.

  65. Today I'm going to be set free. So I'll wake up and I'm set

  66. free. These are not some happy

  67. thoughts that you think and it just happens know these These

  68. are moments where you intentionally go and call the

  69. name of Jesus. Yes.

  70. You don't call On Any Other Name, you don't call on the

  71. energy, you don't call him the Divine you don't call on, you

  72. know, the God who I think there is no you call on the name of

  73. Jesus. And today I want to be specific

  74. with regard to this cause you will never come alive until you

  75. call the name of Jesus J esus. Because he is the one who can

  76. save. He's our only one who came down

  77. as a savior, that was known as we came down as a savior.

  78. Some came, as a prophet, some came as gurus.

  79. Some came as thinkers. Some came, as, you know, Freedom

  80. Fighter, some came as liberators.

  81. But there's only one who came to save with the sole intention of

  82. laying his life down for you and me and so today, as we start,

  83. this Jesus has come down to deliver us.

  84. I'm set us free and that's intentional on our part to go to

  85. him for that. And so a passage for today is

  86. from Romans chapter 6. In fact it's the entire passage

    Romans 6 chapter mention

  87. but I just broken it down to a couple of verses which I would

  88. like to highlight and I would love to, you know, allow the

  89. holy spirit to guide us into this topic so that at the end of

  90. this will be delivered and will be set free.

  91. So Romans chapter 6 verses 15 to 19 and I've taken it from the

    Romans 6:15–19

  92. passion translation and this is what it says, what are we to do

  93. then? Should we send to our hearts

  94. content since there is no law to condemn us anymore?

  95. What a terrible thought, don't you realize that Grace frees you

  96. to choose your own Master, but choose carefully for you,

  97. surrender yourself to become a servant bound to the one, you

  98. choose to be. If you choose to love sin it

  99. will become your master and it will own you and reward you with

  100. death. But if you choose to love and

  101. obey God he will lead you into perfect righteousness and Thanks

  102. be to God for, in the past. You were Servants of sin but now

  103. your obedience is heart deep and your life is being molded by

  104. truth. Through the teaching you are

  105. devoted to. And now you celebrate your

  106. freedom from your former Master sin.

  107. You've left its bondage and now God's perfect.

  108. Righteousness, holds power over you as his longing servants, and

  109. I just want to highlight the first part of verse 16. don't

  110. you realize that Grace frees you to choose your own Master, but

  111. choose carefully for you, surrender yourself to become a

  112. servant bound to the one, you choose to be Kris is here to set

  113. us free. Jesus, is here to set us free.

  114. His grace sets us free. It delivers us, you know, one of

  115. the things of reading the New Testament as you read people,

  116. encountering Jesus, is the fact that Jesus really wanted them to

  117. come to him, he always loved when they came to him when they

  118. came to and said, you know what, you're a good teacher, you're a

  119. good Master Lord would be, have mercy on me.

  120. God, can you do something and what happens when Jesus

  121. attention is drawn when he's called upon he delivers and he

  122. sets them free. There's a man which is mentioned

  123. in the Bible whose father came and his son was having, you

  124. know, was possessed and Jesus goes there and delivers him.

  125. He used to throw himself because of the manifestation that was

  126. happening Into the Fire into the water.

  127. To kill. And the beauty about this entire

  128. passage that we read, is that Jesus came down to give life,

  129. Satan uses sin, so that we will be bound and eventually will be

  130. dead. Last week, when he started, we

  131. saw this world called num when we are numb, in our sin.

  132. We are bound. We are not delivered.

  133. We are chained and we can be set free.

  134. This entire book is written by Paul and when he's writing to

  135. the Roman Church, he in fact starts the entire chapter of,

  136. you know, Romans chapter 6, you know, telling them that's

    Romans 6 chapter mention

  137. probably news that's come to him.

  138. And he's, you know, really pending it down and saying, hey,

  139. there are some of you who decided to follow Jesus, but you

  140. not let gone of your worldly ways.

  141. We can blame it on culture. Today, the this is a warning to

  142. us as a church. And today, this is a warning to

  143. me personally, as I Was preparing, a God was saying, you

  144. can do everything, right? You can mask everything up, you

  145. can project everything, right? You can, you know, preach your

  146. sermons. You can talk to people, you can

  147. use my name But I still see that you are bound.

  148. I still see that you've not set free and the beauty that we all

  149. have is that we have access to this crease.

  150. Jesus wants to set us free. He does not want us to be bound.

  151. Aw, Tozer sees this in almost everything that touches our

  152. everyday life on Earth. God is pleased.

  153. When we are pleased. He Wills that.

  154. We be free as Birds to soar and sing a makers.

  155. Praise without anxiety. Today.

  156. A lot of us are carrying the worries of our world and

  157. eventually those worries plague us, haunt us and later our

  158. chaining us down. But today can we go to the

  159. father's throne room to see God? It's not a Carefree life that I

  160. want but I want a life where your Grace has Set Me Free where

  161. your Greece has delivered me. What is Deliverance look like,

  162. what is being set free look like?

  163. Like Deliverance, looks like that.

  164. You know what? My family's poverty, my family's

  165. lack of finances, my family struggled with ill health, my

  166. family, you know, generationally being plagued by depression, my

  167. family being struggling to make ends meet and we have not even,

  168. you know, been able to see the goodness of the Lord will come

  169. to an end because I am going to ask God to deliver me.

  170. Circumstances can change. Don't think Deliverance is only

  171. for those who you think? You know what I think they are

  172. severely or pressed to. They only know all of us need

  173. Deliverance. When I save your being plagued

  174. by the anxiety of this, a lot of us are carrying the problem of

  175. finances on our head so much. We are play Given as you are

  176. entering to the month of March. A lot of us have to, you know,

  177. coming to the year and we will see a bank accounts, go drive,

  178. you will see things not happen. What the way we expected the, we

  179. will see, you know, a bills being unable to be made out of

  180. order or claims that we need to file for it tanks.

  181. All piling up and will be anxious.

  182. But God, it's saying here, I can still deliver you and set you

  183. free, trust me to provide Sometimes the lack that we have

  184. is so that our trust is solely in Jesus.

  185. And so tree, being delivered and being set, free comes at a price

  186. and it's a lot to do with, what's happening internally

  187. coming alive. Is not about us coming alive,

  188. physically, you know, because we can jump it up, we can say the

  189. right things and all know, but coming alive in the four walls

  190. of our home. Are we really coming alive?

  191. What are my thoughts like? When I'm actually at the pit of

  192. the toughest day of my week, what are some of the things that

  193. I'm really struggling with that? I'm unable to share with anyone

  194. Jesus wants to come alive in those situations Deliver Us and

  195. set us free. The first thing that I want to

  196. draw our attention through this entire passage.

  197. In Romans, chapter 6 is coming alive in Jesus.

    Romans 6 chapter mention

  198. Only happens when we are dead to our sinfulness coming alive in

  199. Jesus, only happens when we are dead to us.

  200. Sinfulness Romans chapter 6, verses 1 to 4 and I'm reading

    Romans 6:1–4

  201. from the Amplified, and this is what it says, what shall we say

  202. to all this, should we continue in sin and practice sin as a

  203. habit so that God's Gift of Grace, may increase and overflow

  204. certainly not, how can we the very ones who died to sin?

  205. Continue to live in it, any longer, or are you ignorant of

  206. the fact that all of us who have been baptized into Christ?

  207. Jesus were baptized into his death.

  208. We Have therefore been buried with him through baptism into

  209. death. So that just as Christ was

  210. raised from the dead, through the glory and the power of the

  211. father, we too might walk habitually in the newness of

  212. Life, abandoning our old ways So when it says here, that we need

  213. to be dead to our sinfulness means that when we come alive,

  214. there's only one master. There are no two masters.

  215. Sin cannot be there, and Jesus cannot be there.

  216. Jesus comes to set us free period.

  217. His love causes us to obey him. The love that we've received

  218. from him. We show it back to him in a

  219. being and doing what he asks us to and doing what he wants us

  220. to. Do.

  221. You know, and so today, the warning that Paul gives the

  222. Roman Church is the fact that we cheap in his grace, when we

  223. continually keep sinning and we think, you know what?

  224. I can go back on a Sunday, I can see God, I'm sorry and I'm back

  225. to it. Yes, forgiveness is there.

  226. But don't cheapen his grace because at the end of it, the

  227. reality is we are fooling ourselves.

  228. The reality is I am manufacturing his grease

  229. conveniently enough to think. You know what this works for me,

  230. there is a clear demarcation when Jesus comes in and sets us

  231. free. So you might see, you know what,

  232. Jesus was there among the people he was there with the tax

  233. collectors. He was there with those, he

  234. didn't, you know, those who are displaced.

  235. I used by Society? Yes, he went into the very homes

  236. into the very places where they were there but he didn't change

  237. rather, they all were changed. So today, I don't have to

  238. compromise myself to be in a place where everyone is so that

  239. I change but I rather stand and be there so that they all will

  240. change and ultimately the bottom Mmmmm line in this whole thing

  241. is, people will not follow Jesus because of what I'm saying, what

  242. I'm doing is they all do have an impact but it comes because of

  243. the Holy Spirit working in and through their lives.

  244. A lot of times, you're striving the trying to create the right

  245. atmosphere and we are trying to create the right Ambience with

  246. everything possible to see. You know what?

  247. I want to be a testimony here, but I think Deliverance will

  248. come and we call the name of Jesus delivered.

  249. It's will companies your Holy Spirit work in their life,

  250. Deliverance will come and we start honestly praying for them.

  251. Deliverance will come and me honestly are true to ourselves

  252. and say God I want you to really do something in their lives.

  253. And it also starts with us, we come to the reality and seeing

  254. what I need to die to myself illness.

  255. I need to die to the very sinful nature within me so that I can

  256. allow of Christ to live. And, you know, the more I think

  257. about it. You know, this recently, my

  258. youngest brother, you know, was adding his second SIM card was

  259. formed and for some reason, I mean, we all can do it.

  260. I've seen a lot of people people have dual Sims, you know, one is

  261. for WhatsApp, one is for, you know, your regular things,

  262. regular calls, and checking all that, based on the data plan and

  263. all that jazz. But it got me thinking, a lot of

  264. us are trying to walk our Christian lives with a dual

  265. system where, you know, what I'll switch when it's

  266. convenient, I'll have this sinful pattern because it helps

  267. me today, whatever bondage that you're stuck in God wants to

  268. eradicate it, Once and for all and the beauty about Jesus, he

  269. came down for all of humanity, which means you me and for the

  270. people before us, and for the people who are coming after us,

  271. which means his name, alone has the power to break.

  272. Every chain. His name alone has the power to

  273. set people free from every Power of a pressure.

  274. His name has the power to liberate us.

  275. So today are you willing to give up?

  276. On this dual thing and solely stick with Jesus alone.

  277. Following Jesus will be hard if you are in be assigned.

  278. We keep telling you that following.

  279. Jesus is not going to be easy. If, if following Jesus was easy,

  280. I think the world would be different.

  281. Christianity would be different. It's because we will be swimming

  282. against the tide. And that's what God's calling us

  283. to do. God will be swimming against the

  284. tide in the area of our understanding of people of the

  285. future of finances of what God's calling us to do of what God is,

  286. placing us and where he's placing us, it will be different

  287. Even in our very marriages that God's given us in the generation

  288. that God's given in front of us to raise up, but it all starts.

  289. If you're willing to die to our sinfulness, And so, do you made

  290. us looking some guest room? What comes under?

  291. All this sinfulness, the minute, Adam sinned in the Garden of

  292. Eden. All of us have fallen short,

  293. which means all of us are, you know, are sinners.

  294. You me, all of us till a point where we actually come in

  295. contact with Jesus and me, see that, you know, he came down so

  296. that our sins will need to can be changed into so today, the

  297. Deliverance that God wants to give us is from the sinful

  298. nature. And so, when he came down, you

  299. can read the entirety of the New Testament.

  300. There were prophecies got set up.

  301. A Tunisian got took that entire nation through a desert.

  302. God built that Nation up and man's sinfulness still didn't

  303. leave him till a point where Jesus had to come.

  304. God himself had to come in human form, Emmanuel, God With Us came

  305. down. That's why we celebrate

  306. Christmas. We celebrate Christmas, because

  307. he thought Thought of you and me and we celebrate Easter because

  308. he died for you and me, it should have been us but when he

  309. died he took the blame. That should have been on me

  310. death. Which would have been on me.

  311. He took it up. The eternity that we would be

  312. spending in hell in the pits of flame.

  313. He saved us from that and has separated us to be his children,

  314. so that we can live in eternity with him.

  315. That is where our faith stands does.

  316. It makes sense in a logical World.

  317. It doesn't. But that's what faith in Jesus,

  318. looks like. Watchman Nee says this

  319. beautiful. He says, it is a fact that the

  320. Lord Jesus is already died for you.

  321. It's also a fact that you have already died with the Lord

  322. Jesus. If you do not believe in your

  323. death with Christ, you will not be able to receive the

  324. effectiveness of death with him, which is freedom from sin.

  325. So in this entire chapter, when we read Paul talks about baptism

  326. that happens and baptism is a place where we boldly take the

  327. step and come in front of others.

  328. To say I personally I'm no longer going to live this sinful

  329. life. I am going to live this life

  330. that Jesus is called me to live. I turned my back on the world.

  331. And I'm going to look to the Cross, because that's where, I

  332. find Freedom. That's where I find hope.

  333. That's where I find my strength. That's where I find my true

  334. identity, and my life. And in baptism what happens when

  335. we are submerged in. We are symbolically telling

  336. Jesus, you came down, and I'm dying to the sinful nature.

  337. But when I Rise up, I'm coming out as a new person.

  338. And in you so that I can face this world that you've put me in

  339. with your help and live the call that you call me to live.

  340. So today you probably have given your life to God.

  341. Probably a few years back or probably, you haven't allowed

  342. increase you to Journey along with us.

  343. Take some time to get to know us, get take some time to talk

  344. to us. It's it requires us to come to a

  345. personal conviction of our own with the Holy Spirit should

  346. work. This is a personal decision.

  347. I can't take that decision for you.

  348. You can take the decision for me.

  349. Jesus came down for each and every one of us.

  350. And so today, and as for someone who's already been baptized, and

  351. who's already been in this Christian walk.

  352. Probably in this Christian work. That are certain things that

  353. have plagued you. And so, you need deliverance

  354. from that ask God, God, you alone have the power to break

  355. this thing? Could you do it for me?

  356. Would you set me free? Because I already know that you

  357. 1 over sin, death Was Defeated on the cross.

  358. You are alive today. You wanted a god who's, who was

  359. no, you are a god, who's presently, Our God, my life, and

  360. you will be God to everyone who calls on your name.

  361. So today would you make this your prayer that you are, you

  362. will come alive so that you will be set free, you will come

  363. alive. So that you'll be delivered,

  364. you'll be able to come alive when you are dead to the sinful

  365. nature and I'll put on the nature of Christ in me.

  366. And this nature of case requires us to work requires us to lean

  367. into his word to read is what? Because that's where we find his

  368. nature this. Nature that you're talking of

  369. Jesus which are replacing with taking kicking set, sinfulness

  370. out requires us to be part of community with other believers

  371. so that we can pray together. We can find the different

  372. seasons God's going to take us through.

  373. And I pray that God will enable you and strengthen you to make

  374. that decision. The second Point coming alive,

  375. in Jesus ends the power of sin over us, it stops with us we can

  376. reach Ainge that course that is there in our lives.

  377. Yes we face the consequences of us for some of us who have come

  378. out of alcoholism. For those who've been drinking a

  379. lot and everything, there is a particular level Of damage that

  380. happens to our physical bodies, but when we give it up for

  381. Jesus, but when we replace that sinful nature, what happens?

  382. We start looking forward and hope the consequences.

  383. Yes, later find out. I have certain complications in

  384. my health because of that But that very sinful nature doesn't

  385. have power over us. A lot of us have walked through

  386. the road of abuse. And as you've met Jesus, God

  387. wants to work with you and bring you healing.

  388. You no longer will succumb to the power of that sin.

  389. The manifestation of that sin is so prevalent.

  390. But God's here, when you come alive, no power in heaven or

  391. hell can come close to you because I am there.

  392. He'll be your armor better. Just imagine that like if he's

  393. an armor better every area that you're we can, he can strengthen

  394. you every area that you lack, he can be a provision every area

  395. that you are feeling incomplete. He can complete you.

  396. Today, we don't have to look to anyone else for completion.

  397. The, the power of sin cripples us the power of sin causes us to

  398. look foolish. The power of sin causes us to

  399. look desperate. The power of sin causes us to be

  400. not who God created us to be, but the power of sin can be

  401. broken with me, come alive in Jesus.

  402. For those of you who've been lacking, you know, you feel like

  403. your wallet has a big hole and money just doesn't stay.

  404. You're bad with finances and you've been beating yourself and

  405. you are scared thinking that, you know, what, somewhere down

  406. the line. I just think that I end up like

  407. my family, we might end up in debt.

  408. We won't be able to do things for a future generation when you

  409. come alive in Jesus. In your finances, the power of

  410. debt would go. The power of that would go God

  411. is willing to rewrite things in your life.

  412. If you allow him, if you give him full control, if you say,

  413. God, would you come alive in me? Can we read continue reading,

  414. Romans, chapter 6, verse 8 to 9. Now, if you have died with

    Romans 6:8–9

  415. Christ, we believe that we will also live together with him

  416. because we know the self-evident truth that Christ having been

  417. raised from the dead will never die again death no longer has

  418. power. Over him for the dead that he

  419. died. He died to sin, ending its power

  420. and paying the Sinners that once and for all.

  421. And the life that he lives, he lives to glorify God, in

  422. unbroken fellowship with him even.

  423. So consider yourselves to be dead to sin and your

  424. relationship to it broken, but alive to God in unbroken

  425. fellowship with him in Christ Jesus.

  426. As I started this sermon, it's only in Jesus will become alive.

  427. You won't come alive with your spouse.

  428. You won't come alive because you've raised up, good kids, you

  429. won't come alive because you have a fancy home.

  430. You won't come alive. If you can put yourself

  431. together. Know, you'll come alive.

  432. Only when you are in Jesus, look at this, he says, yet there's,

  433. he's defeated sin once and for all What is Satan's?

  434. Biggest game, plan. He just has to introduce doubt.

  435. Is it true? DD really say that carbon copy

  436. from Genesis, that's his game plan.

  437. His he's a master Craftsman with his word, he will doubt the very

  438. promises God's given you. He will doubt the very direction

  439. that God's calling you to take. He will doubt the very presence

  440. that is they're allowing you to be an overcomer.

  441. But today the power of sin once and for all is broken because of

  442. Jesus. You know, when you read the

  443. Bible, you see the power of sin, our today's world, I would say

  444. would be guilt. Would be, fear would be shame

  445. and these strongholds become so deep that you need to deliver.

  446. You need a deliverer and many a times, you know, as people of

  447. the faith, we tried doing this alone, but I would urge you

  448. today, that's We are gathered as a church.

  449. That's why we gather this community.

  450. That's why we come to a place where God gives vulnerability to

  451. share with our fellow Brethren. And when we say, you know what,

  452. I'm struggling in this area, when two people, when two or

  453. three Gather in my name, I am there what happens, Beeman's

  454. will flee, what happens? Bondages will be broken.

  455. What happens? Sicknesses will change what

  456. happens? We will be set free and I am

  457. more confident than ever because Has of us relying on the Holy

  458. Spirit, we are going to see things happen from now on.

  459. We are going to be catching the wind, and we will be seeing him

  460. come alive in every instances of our life.

  461. Today, fear. Shame.

  462. Pull us down. It's like a Chokehold on a neck

  463. and we are feel like you're drowning right there in the

  464. middle of the ocean. But if we can give it all up,

  465. for those of you have been plagued by anxiety, I would see,

  466. would you give it all up? Anxiety, has no power.

  467. Only Jesus has power claimed that when you feel that, when

  468. you're shriveling up, even last week, I got on a call and I was

  469. talking to a person, they just broke down, I don't know what to

  470. say. But I believed in one thing, I

  471. had the power of Jesus living within me and I knew, That

  472. whatever that they were suffering from, couldn't stand

  473. the presence of God. And I, this is over a phone and

  474. after I prayed the wailed on the phone, they cried and I believe

  475. freedom is, what looks like that we need to cry it out and saying

  476. God I want to be set free. My desperation should come in

  477. Leviticus. We see how God prepared the

  478. Israelites to offer. Sacrifices.

  479. He had given for this son. You'll have to To offer such and

  480. such for this sin, it has to be an, you know, a young lamb

  481. unblemished, and all that. And they were so much of order

  482. in the whole thing, but if you see the bottom line, what is the

  483. denominator? The denominator was for sin to

  484. be completely erased, it required, a blood sacrifice, the

  485. blood of an innocent lamb or the blood of an innocent animal

  486. based on what they could afford and based on the level of the

  487. SIM, They had to go lay your hand on the innocence of that

  488. animal literally transferring that sin, and their life was

  489. laid on the altar. Today we have a savior who came

  490. 2000 years back. He died on the cross because he

  491. cared so much for all of us. He cared for all of creation

  492. which includes you and me. It includes you church today.

  493. Even as you're watching this, it includes each and every one of

  494. us. His blood has paid the price

  495. once and for all. So today you don't have to go to

  496. any mountain. You don't have to go on a

  497. pilgrimage. You don't have to go anywhere.

  498. We're right where you're at. If you claim the blood of Jesus,

  499. a way of life, you will be delivered.

  500. If you clean the blood of Jesus over your family, they will be

  501. delivered. If you clean the blood of Jesus

  502. over that area in your body, that's been aching.

  503. It will set you free Faith as small as a mustard seed.

  504. Many a times, we doubt many a times we hesitate, but that's of

  505. the enemy. Let's rise up in faith.

  506. Let's grow our faith. Let's strengthen our faith.

  507. If we don't strengthen it, if we don't start speaking out in

  508. faith and believing it, we won't see it happen.

  509. Jesus Paid the price for all of sin.

  510. Jesus Paid the price for all of them.

  511. You can't quantify it. You can't measure it.

  512. You can't wait, but he died once, and for all let that sink.

  513. If he gets so much for all of us for all of humanity, and yet is

  514. so personal to see. I have numbered the hair on your

  515. head. To see that.

  516. I know you inside out. Can we surrender ourselves to

  517. this God? Revelation chapter 1, verse 4.

    Revelation 1:4

  518. To 5 says this, this letter is from John to the seven churches

  519. in the province of Asia Grace and peace to you from the one

  520. who is who always was and who is still to come from the Sevenfold

  521. spirit before his throne. And from Jesus Christ, he is the

  522. faithful witness to these things.

  523. The first to rise, from the dead, and the ruler of all Kings

  524. of the world, all glory to him, who Loves us and has freed us

  525. from our sins by shedding his blood, for us the worst started,

  526. you know, into the fifth verse United.

  527. So that's why I took first four and five, as he's opening up

  528. Revelation, it says, yeah, he is the faithful witness to these

  529. things. The first to raise from the dead

  530. and the ruler of all Kings. So the establishing that happens

  531. here when John writes evolutionist He's the ruler of

  532. all the kings. There's no one else who's coming

  533. to rule, he is the ruler. Anyone can claim the throne, but

  534. he is the true ruler over all of us.

  535. He is a faithful witness and he's the first to raise from the

  536. dead. And the underlying thing, is he

  537. came. He freed us all from our sins by

  538. shedding his blood. So today, our only hope and

  539. trust and faith is in Jesus. And so today, I would invite

  540. you, would you allow of Jesus to come into your life again?

  541. A lot of us have allowed him. Lot of us are just using him as

  542. a side dish where I'll just, you know, touch him on a Sunday,

  543. call on him on a Sunday, raise my hand for him on his side.

  544. And a give, what I think should be given to him on a Sunday.

  545. God wants more than that from our lives would be willing to

  546. go, and as I Was preparing house, a god lot of us today,

  547. probably know this, there are seasoned Christians who walk

  548. this life, 20 years, 30 years, who know this, that we can only

  549. come alive and you'll only set us free.

  550. Your only are deliver. They heard this.

  551. They know this they have called on him.

  552. But God took me, you know, to the Old Testament back and

  553. reminded me that the Israelites who you know a flourishing at a

  554. point. When actually Joseph had caught

  555. his entire family into Egypt, but as Generations went, they

  556. became slaves there and they were slaves for 400 years and

  557. it's in that for and years of slavery, of Oppression of, you

  558. know, of going through all this physical, oppression mind you.

  559. It's not even the spiritual aspect of sin.

  560. In and, you know, of the be really wanted to deliver because

  561. they were physically being oppressed by a ruler and God

  562. drew me to Exodus chapter 3 verse 7 to 10 the time when

    Exodus 3:7–10

  563. Moses encounters God. And gods response is what caught

  564. my attention and many a times are looking for the response of

  565. a leader. We are looking for the response

  566. for passed away. Looking for a responsible

  567. parent, you looking for a response of our spouse from a

  568. loved one. But I think we need to go back

  569. to God and this is what God tells Moses can we read this

  570. Exodus chapter 3 verses 7 to 10? The Lord said, I have indeed

    Exodus 3:7–10

  571. seen the misery of my people in Egypt.

  572. I have heard them crying out because of their slave.

  573. Us and I'm concerned about his suffering.

  574. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the

  575. Egyptians and to bring them out of their Clan into a good and

  576. spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

  577. And then God commands, Moses to go to Israel and set them.

  578. God, commands Moses. And then we see God commanded

  579. Moses to go to Egypt to approach Ferris that his people will be

  580. set free. But 400 years of people crying,

  581. 400 years of people asking for Freedom, 400 years of people

  582. calling on the god of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, that is a God

  583. who hears and this caught my attention, because a lot of us

  584. are crying and waiting. We don't have to wait for 400

  585. years. We don't have to wait for 10

  586. generations of us, to actually find that we can find that right

  587. now, as I read this, I strongly felt God said, you are going to

  588. read this out because many have been calling and they need an

  589. assurance that I'm listening, many have been calling and

  590. thinking that I've turned my Euro Ino.

  591. I'm listening. But I also have sent my son into

  592. this world, they can call on his name and I will answer.

  593. So today on the screen you're going to see these three

  594. sentences and there's a blank there and I want you to put your

  595. name there. I have indeed seen the misery of

  596. guess show is what Godsey I have heard gets home crying.

  597. I am concerned about guest rooms suffering, you're going to

  598. repeat that again. I have indeed seen the misery.

  599. Could you put your name there? I have heard your name there

  600. crying. I am concerned, could you put

  601. your name there suffering and this 3 verses are just verses

  602. which God spoke to Moses I believe.

  603. God speaking this to our generation today.

  604. A lot of us are in the misery of emotional ill-health.

  605. A lot of us are quietly crying. In our pillows quietly, crying

  606. in our rooms, some of you are quietly crying in the restrooms

  607. because you can't cry out, say, you can't appear weak.

  608. Lot of your suffering. not suffering because of Suffering.

  609. Because the oppression is to Heart suffering because

  610. circumstances are getting tougher day by day.

  611. And the beauty of God's responses I have come down to

  612. rescue them. He's coming down to rescue.

  613. You would you call on his name today?

  614. Would you call on the name of Jesus?

  615. Would you call on the name of our delivery room?

  616. Could you call on the name of our savior?

  617. Could you call on the name of a redeemer?

  618. Whose name is Jesus? Verse 14.

  619. God said to Moses, I am who I am.

  620. When he asks, who will? I tell the people here, know,

  621. who sent me say that I am who I am, he is the god, who is today

  622. for us, he is the god who will be, he is the Alpha and the

  623. Omega. He is the god who controls time

  624. Today, would you call on the name of Jesus so that your

  625. misery so that you're crying so that your suffering will all

  626. come and down will be broken, you will be delivered, you'll be

  627. set free and in turn, you will be able to come alive in Jesus.

  628. A call for Christians is to become in practice what they

  629. already are in their status before.

  630. Caught dead to sin, and alive to God our status before God before

  631. sin was there was that we were his child sin came.

  632. Yes, Jesus came, he redeemed us and every time we go back there,

  633. we should be dead to sin. And we should be alive to God.

  634. One has to die. One has to be alive if we can

  635. hold on to that as he got today, as I step into this week.

  636. Can you please direct my path? Let me just pray I just want to

  637. pray for those of us who are watching on live.

  638. Not, I pray. Even right now that even as we

  639. heard your word, would you come alive in us?

  640. Come alive and set us free. Come alive and Deliver Us come

  641. alive and make us who you want is to be lat.

  642. We are unable to see it. We are striving, we are

  643. struggling. We are in Misery, we are

  644. suffering lat. Would you come down and set us

  645. free? We believe that you are the

  646. great I am and we are coming to The Great.

  647. I Am, who's already done everything sin is already

  648. defeated Lord, and we come again to you that you would strengthen

  649. us, you would shape us, you would cause us to be who you

  650. called us to be not that we will never crumble in pressure.

  651. We will never see crumble Lord Jesus in all that.

  652. You're Going through, but we would rather rise up will be

  653. able to face. What is ahead of us because

  654. you're alive in us because you're here to strengthen us

  655. because you're here, you are Our Redeemer.

  656. You are our savior. I pray that you would be with

  657. your children. Bless the work of the hands are

  658. free that they love Johnny morsi's.

  659. I pray that God even as they interact with people, people

  660. will see that you are alive in them.

  661. In their words, get thoughts in their actions.

  662. I pray that the Lord will be greater testimonies Outside Lord

  663. Jesus because that's what you've called us to be, you've called

  664. us to be the light here in this world so that many will draw to

  665. you be with us and bless us. Lord, in your most.

  667. Amen. So for those of you who are

  668. listening and were watching, I pray that God will come alive

  669. into your life today. However, tough, the situation is

  670. remember what I read. Whatever misery, whatever

  671. trouble, whatever suffering he is there listening.

  672. He wants to walk with you. You he wants to Journey with you

  673. and make. You understand that sin has no

  674. power. He's finished it once and for

  675. all. And the second thing is that you

  676. need to be fully Alive in him alone and no one else.

  677. I pray that you have a blessed week more than anything.

  678. I pray that you will come alive in Jesus and remember whoever

  679. finds Jesus finds life. God bless you all.

  680. So Church even as we all are getting ready to partake of the

  681. Lord's table even as Tina comes to lead us into a time of

  682. communion, I just want to take some time to pray because I

  684. Lot of us are quietly. Crying lot of us are struggling

  685. in our own misery. Lot of us are, you know,

  686. struggling in some of the sufferings that we've been going

  687. through years on yours and God wants to set us free.

  688. God wants us to come alive, so that we will be set free.

  689. We will Be delivered. We will be in a right place with

  690. him. Doing what he's called us to do,

  691. and even as we partake of the Lord's table, it's a reminder

  692. that sin is defeated. It's a reminder that we are all
