  29. You've come on the right Sunday. So we are just.

  30. Yeah. And we're going to go for it.

  31. And we're going to flow with this grace message.

  32. OK, Because grace is enough. And yeah, I want to the title of

  33. the message today is grace is all you Need.

  34. And I'll put that up on the screen here for us.

  35. That's what I want to share with you today is grace is all there.

  36. It is Grace is all you need. Amen somebody.

  37. Now that's not my opinion. It's not my idea.

  38. That is Scripture. That's straight from the Bible.

  39. Now let's go there. Let me show you from Scripture

  40. in second Corinthians chapter 12 in verse 9, it says and he said

    2 Corinthians 12 chapter mention

  41. to me, my grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made

  42. perfect in weakness. Now I want to show you another

  43. translation says it this way each time he said my grace is

  44. all you need. My power works best in weakness.

  45. Let's pray. Father, we thank you for your

  46. presence in this place. We thank you that your Word is

  47. alive and is full of power. A Lord, we open our hearts to

  48. receive the grace you have prepared.

  49. Holy Spirit, weave on this message.

  50. Lift burdens, heal hearts, full us with strength for today.

  51. And we declare that your grace is all that we need.

  52. And somebody shout Hallelujah. Say Amen.

  53. Give God some praise somebody. Hallelujah.

  54. And yes, I wanna come on this scripture where the Bible says

  55. God told Paul, my grace is enough.

  56. And I just love that. One of such a powerful

  57. principles in the word of God, he says, Paul, my grace is

  58. sufficient for you. My grace, this is all that you

  59. need. Now, some of us walked in with

  60. questions this morning. How am I going to fix this?

  61. What if I don't have what it takes?

  62. What if the door doesn't open? And some came in with hurt, Some

  63. came in today with loss, with worry.

  64. Maybe it's a medical report that you did not expect.

  65. And others walked in here today, and you are in a good season,

  66. but the new opportunity feels a little bit big and a little

  67. scary. Now, the good news for each and

  68. every one of us, regardless of what you are going through,

  69. whatever season you're going through, the good news is from

  70. the word of God, grace is enough.

  71. Somebody shout, grace is enough. Come on, put your eyes together.

  72. And I want you to say that say grace is enough.

  73. Tell somebody, turn to your neighbor and say grace is.

  74. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Grace is enough.

  75. Grace is enough. And I feel the anointing in this

  76. place. I'm ready to preach this.

  77. Grace is here. And yes, grace is certainly.

  78. It is enough. Amen.

  79. And so grace doesn't just say that you are forgiven.

  80. Grace doesn't just pardon your past.

  81. Grace, it's power for your present.

  82. Grace that is God's strength showing up in your everyday

  83. life. Grace of God showing up the

  84. strength in your life. At home, at work, on the school

  85. run, in the traffic. OK, difficult conversations,

  86. grace shows up, Grace strengthens, grace empowers,

  87. grace lifts you up when you feel low, grace is enough.

  88. Now think of grace like power for your phone.

  89. You can have the best device, the best phone, but without a

  90. charge, a power charge, the phone is dead.

  91. The phone is goes dark. So grace is like a power charge

  92. into your life that brings life. It gives you, it makes you shine

  93. bright. That is grace of God, grace,

  94. power. And listen, I'm here to tell

  95. somebody today that grace is all you need.

  96. Hallelujah. Come on, Grace is all I need.

  97. I want you to say they say grace is all I need.

  98. Grace is all I need. Now, how does grace come?

  99. How does it come and how do we receive it?

  100. Because first of all, grace, we don't earn grace, OK?

  101. Sometimes we think that, you know, when I am stronger, when

  102. I'm in a better place, then God will help me.

  103. But God says, no, I'll help you right now in this situation, in

  104. the struggle. I'll help you right now where

  105. you feel weak. And so you don't have to earn

  106. grace, OK? God says, I'll help you right

  107. where you are. Meet you right there.

  108. OK, So we receive grace. OK, Exodus chapter 16 God's

    Exodus 16 chapter mention

  109. people there in the wilderness and they had no food and God

  110. sends manner from heaven every day, fresh manner every morning

  111. and they were told not to store up the manner for tomorrow,

  112. because if they tried the manner would go off, it would go rot

  113. and expire to spoil. So to what God was teaching his

  114. people was to learn to receive grace daily, to trust him daily

  115. on a daily basis. And sometimes my kids, they ask

  116. me, so just before the weekend, like Fridays, Ellis and dad

  117. said, what are we going to eat this weekend?

  118. What is up for, you know, dinner tomorrow?

  119. And I just laugh and I just smile and I just say we eat

  120. today first what we eat. And that is how God's grace

  121. works. God feeds his for graceful

  122. today, daily manner for today, fresh for today.

  123. And so he feeds you today and then yes, of course, tomorrow's

  124. menu will be ready for tomorrow when tomorrow comes.

  125. But his mercies, and that's what the Bible says.

  126. His mercies are new every morning now, new occasion.

  127. It doesn't mean it's that it means it's fresh.

  128. When he says it's new, it's means it's fresh.

  129. So if you woke up today, there is fresh bread today.

  130. There is fresh grace for you today and that's your portion

  131. and it's got your name on it. Somebody shout Hallelujah.

  132. You've got some praise because that's what the Scripture says

  133. in the famous Malthus exit. Give us this day Our Daily

  134. Bread. He did not say give us this day

  135. our yearly bread. OK, but did not give the

  136. Israelites a Costco card and say go to Costco and go and stock up

  137. and pile up and store for 12 months.

  138. OK, card said this day, this is fresh bread today.

  139. OK Ailey, right now I love Costco.

  140. OK, I'm just saying, yeah, for those that loves Costco, I love

  141. Costco, but God's grace does not come in a bulk package.

  142. God's grace come fresh every day, every morning, fresh manna,

  143. fresh bread, fresh grace. And so it is so easy to get

  144. worried up and to stick up and think about tomorrow and to

  145. worry about the things as tomorrow.

  146. What about next month's bill payment?

  147. What about next week's meeting on Friday?

  148. My kids next year God gives grace and the way he gives grace

  149. He shows us in the word. It is like manner that falls

  150. every single day. Every morning it is fresh.

  151. So it gives you a daily portion. Grace for today.

  152. OK, so for today's grace, for today's race.

  153. Oh, so I feel the anointing of God in this place.

  154. Come on, somebody give guys some grace for some daily grace,

  155. Kylie. Oh, I feel the anointing of card

  156. in this. Oh.

  157. And so when tomorrow gets here, then there will be grace for

  158. tomorrow. So stop worrying about

  159. tomorrow's troubles because it drains today's strength and it

  160. solves nothing. Are you with me, somebody?

  161. OK, you understand what I'm saying here today.

  162. I mean, so think about again your phone when it says updates

  163. available, new update, new software to keep the phone up to

  164. date, updates available. And so if you ignore your

  165. phone's update and you just ignore it and you stop the

  166. phone, the apps will start leaching.

  167. When you do not download the apps, when you do not daily the

  168. updates, when your phone just updates available, the apps will

  169. start leaching. The things will start to run

  170. slow. OK, things will freeze and

  171. answer the phone now the same today Heaven is saying over us

  172. today an update is available. We are not talking about last

  173. month's brace. We are talking about a fresh new

  174. anointing for this season we are living in right now.

  175. And Heaven is saying there is a fresh update of fresh grace.

  176. Fresh grace, fresh ideas, fresh favour that is available to

  177. date. Now if we ignore it and we rush

  178. into the day without receiving fresh manner, fresh bread, fresh

  179. grace. If we ignore that, then our soul

  180. glitches our thoughts. It's spiralling down.

  181. Too much stress, too much things going over exertion and get

  182. tired because we try to do God's work on yesterday's supply.

  183. OK, but when you take time and you pause and you download, you

  184. receive the update for today, then you receive grace.

  185. You receive daily manner. And what happens is when you

  186. receive your daily bread, your daily grace, you receive daily

  187. direction, you receive daily wisdom for the day.

  188. Hallelujah. And so peace returns and

  189. strength comes because he's grace.

  190. He's enough. I love that song from Chris

  191. Tomlin. My God, I've, I've been

  192. listening this for 10 years and when it came out like over 10

  193. years ago, a decade ago, my grade is enough.

  194. And I just, I've, I've, I used to listen to that.

  195. I just got stuck over the years. It's like one of those golden

  196. oldies. I just keep on singing it.

  197. You know, you're gracious enough.

  198. I remember that even back in South Africa.

  199. I will just go. You're gracious enough for me.

  200. Come on, let's sing it. You're crazy is enough.

  201. You're crazy is enough for me. Come on, let's place.

  202. Go to this place. Yeah, yeah, yeah, your place is

  203. enough. So Pastor Will, how do we live

  204. this out? How do we do?

  205. Start your morning by saying, Father, I thank you.

  206. I receive grace for today. And Lord, I thank you that your

  207. grace is enough. And what I thank you that your

  208. grace is bigger for what I'm going to face today what I will

  209. face today whatever obstacle challenge your grace is bigger,

  210. your grace is more your grace is higher.

  211. Romans chapter 5 verse 20. The Bible says we send increased

    Romans 5:20

  212. grace increased more. That is the scripture somebody

  213. that is powerful. Get that revelation today, OK,

  214. because grace abounds much, much, much more.

  215. Hallelujah, glory be to God. And so you don't need when you

  216. talk to God, fancy words, you have a conversation, just

  217. receive because when you receive your daily bread, when you

  218. receive grace, that's when strength and direction and

  219. wisdom is coming from. Because when grace steps in,

  220. grace steps in, grace wins every time.

  221. Oh, grace wins every time. Grace wins every time it wins.

  222. Come on, I'm giving you a message.

  223. Come on somebody, it wins every time.

  224. Shout Hallelujah, shout yes, it wins.

  225. It wins every time. It wins every time.

  226. Christ wins every. I'm giving you a message that

  227. you win every time. You take this, but you apply it.

  228. You win every time. Hallelujah.

  229. Somebody shot Hallelujah. Yeah.

  230. Grace wins every time. Say that.

  231. Say grace wins every time. Yeah.

  232. Tell your neighbors. Say grace wins every time.

  233. Yeah. Wish me as a grace winners in

  234. this place. And yes, you know, sometimes you

  235. know, things are live gates, there's some challenges, some

  236. obstacles and things and I'm like, wow, I just this is this

  237. is hard. I I just cannot do this any

  238. longer. I just I cannot do this for

  239. another year. But God is not asking you for

  240. another year. God is asking you, Will you

  241. trust me for today? Will you trust me for today's

  242. daily break for today's daily break.

  243. Will you trust me for this grace moment?

  244. Because today's grace will not spoil.

  245. Today's grace will not drop to our spot.

  246. Today's grace will not let you down, OK?

  247. Because it's always on time and his grace is always enough.

  248. Somebody shout Hallelujah. Yeah, choice.

  249. Listen, we are right here. Heaven has begged fresh bread

  250. for us in this house today. Yell the word of the Lord.

  251. We have got fresh bread. We've got fresh grace in this

  252. place today. There is.

  253. You do not have to run with yesterday's leftovers.

  254. Fresh grace. Come on, somebody.

  255. Fresh grace. And they're so Come get excited.

  256. Are you excited? Somebody listen, there is fresh

  257. bread in the house. My God, I get excited.

  258. When my mum smoked the meal, I thought, thank you more.

  259. There's fresh bread in this house.

  260. There is Taylor money. There is Christ in this house.

  261. I get excited when God's gives us fresh grace.

  262. Oh, somebody shout yes, yeah, I just received it.

  263. So I received fresh grace. Yeah.

  264. So I received today's grace. Yeah, every morning when you

  265. wake up, you say, oh, I receive it.

  266. Come on. Throughout the Bible, the

  267. Israelites, we receive fresh manner.

  268. This is fresh bread today. Now let's look at that text

  269. again. I want to show you something

  270. very powerful. But he said to me, my grace is

  271. sufficient for you, for my power is my perfect.

  272. And somebody say weakness, God's best work is when we feel our

  273. weakest. God's best work, God, works best

  274. when we feel our lowest. My God, I feel the grace meets

  275. our weakness, our lowest when things are low rock.

  276. But grace meets thee and there is where power shows up.

  277. My God, I feel the anointing. Are you getting this, somebody?

  278. That's where grace meets at the weakest, our weakest, our lowest

  279. rock bottom. That's where grace meets and

  280. powers release. That's where power shows up.

  281. And so your weakness is not a wall.

  282. Your weakness is God's workspace.

  283. OK? It's not.

  284. It's not a reason to hide, OK? It's a reason to come close

  285. because that's where we get help.

  286. It's a throne of grace. Yes, it's a throne of grace

  287. where we get help. Oh, has come close.

  288. That's what he says. Listen, Hebrews 4, Chapter 16,

  289. watch this. Let us therefore come boldly to

  290. the throne of grace that we obtain and find price to help

  291. win. Weakness, our lowest.

  292. Oh, that's it. So weakness is not disqualified.

  293. My limits, my weakness, that is where God works.

  294. That is God's launchpad. When I am weak, that is when I'm

  295. strong. Oh my Lord Jesus, you are

  296. getting this. That's what this paradox.

  297. When I'm weak, then I'm strong. But how's that working?

  298. Because when I'm weak, that's when he steps in, that's when he

  299. touches, that's when his power is released.

  300. And that's when Paul the apostle, he keeps coming to

  301. listen by. By the grace of God, I am who I

  302. am. And Paul posted in his

  303. weaknesses. It's not ashamed.

  304. We don't have to be ashamed of our weakness.

  305. Are you with me, somebody? And so God is not asking us to

  306. be more stronger, to be more smarter, to be more talented, to

  307. have it more together before he helps us, OK?

  308. He says, listen, invitation, come to the throne of grace to

  309. receive help in a time of need. So come to the front, bring me

  310. your need and I'll bring your grace.

  311. Come to the front, bring me your weakness and I'll give you my

  312. power. I bring you my power.

  313. The power flows when you're bringing His weakness and you

  314. just go just honest before God. Yes, Christ doesn't wait for you

  315. to get it all together. Grace doesn't wait for you to

  316. reach perfection. God doesn't wait.

  317. Grace doesn't wait for you to reach this certain high level

  318. and get it all together, perfection, stronger.

  319. Grace meets you right where you are, in the difficulty, in the

  320. struggle, in the lowest point. Grace will meet you right there.

  321. Oh, somebody shut. Hallelujah.

  322. Oh, give God a praise in this place for the grace of God.

  323. I will meet you in your lowest points.

  324. How wonderful the grace of God. I feel like preaching this.

  325. Listen, we are not saved by our strength.

  326. We are not saved by our striving.

  327. How smart we are, how talented we are, our money or we are not

  328. set the power of this. And this is a very basic

  329. foundational principle and whatever we are saved by grace.

  330. Come on, somebody say, say by grace.

  331. Now I want to show you because this is just so beautiful in

  332. Ephesians chapter 2, verse 4, by Christ you have been saved

    Ephesians 2:4

  333. through faith and that is not of your size, it's not of your

  334. strength. It is a gift from God.

  335. So you are saved by grace. We are saved not by striving,

  336. not by trying, not by performing, not by how strong,

  337. not by ourselves. We are not saved by our

  338. strength. We are saved by grace.

  339. And you know what that is a gift.

  340. We cannot earn it. We cannot work for we're going

  341. to perform. We cannot look cute and

  342. beautiful and we cannot. It's his grace that saves us.

  343. Not our talents, not how smart we are.

  344. His grace, we are saved. Somebody say saved by grace.

  345. Now here's a picture like a glove, a world glove on a table

  346. and he's. There.

  347. And if I tell it to pick up a hammer and start, it flops.

  348. Why? Because it's never made to work

  349. to live on its own. OK, so it's made A glove is made

  350. for a hand to come inside to step inside, right.

  351. So that's a glove. A glove is made OK to be fault

  352. with the hand. Now, the moment the hand slips

  353. into the glove, the glove lifts, curries, bolt.

  354. All of a sudden the hand is doing stuff.

  355. But it could never alone, OK, could never do that alone.

  356. And So what a glove does, simple.

  357. It receives the hand. OK, you understand what I'm

  358. saying? It receives the hand, it's

  359. filled with the hand, and so it yields to the hand.

  360. The glove is you, the hand is the Holy Spirit, and so you

  361. receive the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit's in you,

  362. you don't try and perform. You don't try and do and try and

  363. strive and try and be and pretend to be strong.

  364. OK, somebody give God some praise.

  365. So all you do is just let him fool you and let the hand fool

  366. you. And then you will finally you'll

  367. find ability and courage that you didn't know you had.

  368. And people will ask you, how did you do that?

  369. And you will know that I didn't. It's the hand in me that it's

  370. not me. It's the hand, OK, Just the

  371. glove, OK. And it's the the hand of God

  372. through your life. Hallelujah.

  373. And that grace in time of need. It's those grace moments.

  374. And I've seen some stories of that, some clips.

  375. I've heard stories of people in a moment of danger who save

  376. their friend from underneath a lift a car.

  377. I've watched that clip. I don't know if the CBN news or

  378. one of the Christian news broadcasting and it said, you

  379. know this guy, he was with his friend and they were working on

  380. the car and all of a sudden the Jack slipped and his friend is

  381. trapped under that heavy car. But that man, he was able to

  382. lift a very heavy 2000 LB heavy automobile, lifted it up, and he

  383. saved his friend. That's the grace of God.

  384. God's strength showing up in his time of need for strength he did

  385. not have on an ordinary day. That's the grace of God.

  386. And so God knows how to get you through the difficulty, God

  387. knows how to intervene. God knows how to get you through

  388. the struggle, through the obstacle, through the challenge.

  389. He knows how to get you through it.

  390. He empowers, He anoints you, He refreshes you.

  391. God knows how to get you through the hardship.

  392. God knows how to get you through the trouble, through what you

  393. cannot handle alone. He knows how to get you through.

  394. And so if you feel weak, don't be ashamed, okay?

  395. Bring it to God and say, Lord, this is where I feel weak.

  396. This is where I feel stuck. This is where I feel small.

  397. This is where I'm struggling. And so, you know, you don't have

  398. to be shamed. Paul the apostle was not ashamed

  399. of his weakness. And so just go and be honest

  400. with God and say, God, this is where I struggle.

  401. And that honest and that open prayer of transparency, it's not

  402. a step back, it's a step in because that's what God is

  403. saying. He's inviting us in.

  404. He says, listen, come to the throne of grace and bring me

  405. your weakness because then I'm going to release power.

  406. It's at the throne of grace. That's where there's help.

  407. That's where he's helping you. And so when I run out, when I'm

  408. limited, when I'm weak, when I run out and this is so

  409. beautiful, that's when God steps in.

  410. It's when I come to the end. God steps in and God's

  411. intervene. And this is the revelation of

  412. Paul the apostle. He's, he said, this is when I am

  413. weak. That's when God's power.

  414. That's listen, he says in that same word, the verse, he says a

  415. verse. That is why I delight in

  416. weakness, the light in weakness, not when he's got everything

  417. together. Oh, I'm the great big apostle

  418. now. He's been delighted in his

  419. weakness, in the difficulties, the challenges.

  420. He was being stoned, the challenges of life.

  421. He's like, you know what, I delight in that because you

  422. know, when I'm weak, when I'm going through the strong heart,

  423. God is strong. That's right.

  424. Listen, this is the very watch this.

  425. Therefore, when I am weak, then that's a revelation.

  426. I am strong. What a paradox.

  427. But that is when I am strong. When I'm weak, then I'm strong.

  428. Let's declare it together, say when I'm weak, then I'm strong

  429. again. When I'm weak, then I'm strong.

  430. Come on, give God some praise, somebody.

  431. And so it's when we are the hand the the glove, because when we

  432. are the glove, God's hand works through us, OK?

  433. So stop trying to be the hand I've got, OK?

  434. And when you start being the glove, that's when God's power

  435. starts flowing, when we yield and we the glove and we say,

  436. yes, Lord to the hand of God. And you will notice, well, I

  437. should be losing it now, but I'm not, I should be stuck.

  438. But I see a step. And so that is when we yield to

  439. the hand of God, that's the hand of God in your life, the hand of

  440. power. Now maybe you have asked God

  441. over not just once, but you've asked God to remove the problem

  442. and you've been praying and you've been asking God over and

  443. over again. You've been asking God, God

  444. remove the problem, but God hasn't removed the problem.

  445. This is Paul the apostle that verse we just right now, the

  446. first, just before that, Paul asked God not just once to

  447. remove the problem. Paul kept on asking God because

  448. he had this struggle. He had this phone in the flesh

  449. and he kept on asking God. The Bible says you asked God

  450. three times to remove this problem from my life because

  451. this phone, it's very painful. Three times God answered the

  452. very same thing over and over again.

  453. He said, Paul, my grace is enough, My grace is sufficient.

  454. My grace is all you need. My grace is enough.

  455. Over and over. My grace is enough.

  456. And sometimes when God, yes, moves the mountain, but

  457. sometimes God moves in you to make you stronger than the

  458. mountain. Either way, grace wins every

  459. time. Hallelujah, somebody shot.

  460. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. If when I move a mountain or

  461. make you stronger than I'm a, grace wins.

  462. Come on, somebody shot. Grace wins every time.

  463. Grace wins every. Grace wins every time.

  464. Oh, yes, grace wins every time. Hallelujah, Grace wins every

  465. time. Somebody say grace wins every

  466. time. Tell your neighbor.

  467. Grace wins every time. Yeah, it wins every time.

  468. Now let me show you a powerful revelation of how grace wins

  469. every time. Is this OK?

  470. Somebody can we go deeper? OK, let me show you this, how

  471. grace empowers. And once every time.

  472. Are you ready for this? God pours out oil in every

  473. season. New grace, new favor, new

  474. wisdom. He pours out.

  475. He gives oil for every new assignment.

  476. And I'm going to show you this very powerful in the life of

  477. David where we see clearly oil for each season.

  478. That's how grace wins every time.

  479. I want to show you something very powerful today because the

  480. first, David's first anointing, his first grace oil anointing

  481. that was poured out. He was a shepherd of the sheep

  482. and Samuel poured oil on him and said, you are God's choice.

  483. That was the beginning of his story, OK?

  484. And so that oil, that anointing on him, OK, that did not make

  485. him king overnight, but it gave him courage to run towards the

  486. giant when everyone else ran away.

  487. So that was his first grace anointing, the beginning of

  488. grace. Now maybe that is where you are.

  489. Maybe you face a giant Goliath at home, at work, in your

  490. thoughts. Maybe you face, but don't be

  491. discouraged because this anointing of Christ empowers you

  492. to slay giants. It's a giant slang annoy

  493. somebody shot. Come on.

  494. I know it's only first season first step where David started

  495. by slaying a giant, but he's still powerful instead of

  496. powerful anointing to bring down a Goliath, a chain.

  497. OK. And so don't despise that

  498. anointing beginning. Grace is powerful and it's the

  499. start of the story. Now, years later, I want you to

  500. see the second anointing. Remember every season Now here

  501. comes the second anointing, where David was anointed King of

  502. Hebron, so the anointed guy was anointed of Hebron.

  503. Now Hebron is only one tribe. So yes, it's promotion, but it's

  504. not full promote. It's not the full promise.

  505. It's not the full. Yes, it's better than where you

  506. are. It's it's one tribe, but it's

  507. not the full. It's not your full prayers that

  508. you've prayed. You understand what?

  509. It's an in between season, OK. And so this is a place where you

  510. learn, you learn to serve and you learn to lead behind the

  511. scenes without the spotlight. And so you deepened your

  512. character. So don't despise Hebron.

  513. Don't rush Hebron. OK, Grow there.

  514. And so keep your heart right while you are serving, while you

  515. are in that, OK, while you wait. Because then Jerusalem came, and

  516. so David was there, and Israel, they gathered and they anointed

  517. David king over the whole nation.

  518. This is now not just one. This is the whole nation.

  519. This is a picture of fullness. This is the full picture, the

  520. full promised land, the fullness.

  521. But even in that anointing, even in that place of grace where

  522. he's been anointed with oil as king now then Tynesian, he still

  523. needed strategy. Because even in that nation,

  524. they were still enemies. Just like the promised land.

  525. They were still giant, they were still enemies.

  526. And there's still the Jebusites in their stronghold.

  527. They still mock David, and they still taunted them and said,

  528. listen, David, you, we are high up in our stronghold.

  529. You can not get here. And so David still needed

  530. strategy, OK. And so David did not go over the

  531. wall. God showed him a hidden path

  532. through the shaft, the water shaft.

  533. And that is a new anointing. How the new fresh anointing

  534. looks like. It's new strategy.

  535. And so God gives you an idea you didn't see.

  536. Yes, it gives you a path you didn't plan.

  537. That's the new anointing. It's the strategy.

  538. And so he shows you a way and this way was under.

  539. It was not over the wall when everyone, others looked at only

  540. the wall, the limitation, the blocking.

  541. David, God showed him another way, strategy.

  542. Are you getting this somebody? Now when you look at every

  543. season in David's life, every level there was resistance, but

  544. every time with the with the resistance, the anointing

  545. increased. You see how God works?

  546. You see the word of God, You see Romans 5 now when the

  547. resistance, the God increased the anointing.

  548. So David was moving, right? New levels, new devils, right?

  549. Let's anoint you, let's increase the anointing.

  550. This is the day we are living in right now where the wickedness

  551. are increasing. But God says, right, let me

  552. release a stronger anointing where this chaos in the UK going

  553. on or God says, let me just anoint my people with a stronger

  554. anointing. That's that's the word of God.

  555. OK, somebody. And so every level there's

  556. resistance, but grace abounded. And so maybe if there's

  557. resistance in your life right now, if the pushback in your

  558. life is strong, don't panic. It's a sign oil has been poured.

  559. If there's pushback in your life and resistance and struggles in

  560. your life, it's a sign church oil has been poured.

  561. You're getting a fresh new anointing.

  562. Somebody get excited over this. Give God some price for a new

  563. anointing. Yes, yeah.

  564. The anointing on your life, it will carry you.

  565. It will carry you in this generation we are living in

  566. right now. God doesn't just match the

  567. anointing with the wicked. This was oh, God overexceeds it.

  568. Oh, they sit in the world. They sit in the world.

  569. Look at the chaos of this guy's like, OK, let's just up the

  570. grace. Come on, let's just up the

  571. anointing. Oh God, Grace always wins.

  572. Every time grace wins. Open on the news.

  573. Look how desperate. Oh, it's so desperate.

  574. Oh, so darkness, depression. Listen, God's got a plan.

  575. God is one step ahead. He just releases.

  576. It's anointing every level. And so when the pushback, if the

  577. pushback is stronged up, you're being anointed.

  578. The anointing on your life, the calling on your life, the oil on

  579. your life is stronger than the pressures in the world.

  580. The anointing on your life is stronger than sin and defeat the

  581. temptations. The anointing that you carry is

  582. stronger than the difficulties in the world.

  583. It's stronger. Church, somebody said

  584. Hallelujah. Give God some praise in this

  585. place. Hallelujah and yes, God has oil

  586. for every season and so fresh anointing.

  587. It means God gives new oil for new weight.

  588. It's simple. That's how God does.

  589. He says I give you new oil for new weight.

  590. Now maybe you're a parent with a new baby or maybe you got a

  591. promotion at work and you feel the weight of more people, more

  592. decisions, more responsibilities.

  593. Maybe it's a promotion or in in an outreach.

  594. In evangelism, God wants you to reach more people and you have

  595. reached another level. You're in another ministry

  596. evangelism season. Maybe it's a business, a new

  597. role. Maybe it's a new career.

  598. Guys, open the door for a new job, a better job.

  599. Every level in your every level. Check over the past decades how

  600. you grow. Every level meets a new

  601. anointing. We see it in the life of David.

  602. Every level from the giant all the way Hebrew.

  603. Every time you reach a certain place, God's going to take you

  604. higher. He's going to anoint you with a

  605. fresh will. It's going to give you a new

  606. anointing for a new assignment. Every level, broad pressure.

  607. But where there's pressure, where there's resistance, God

  608. says grace abounds much more anoint you with a stronger

  609. anointing. Not just do naturalism, but you

  610. ever got well for every season? Are you getting this now?

  611. Can I go a little deeper? OK, let's step another step

  612. deeper. Let me show you something about

  613. timing because this is powerful, OK?

  614. I had a dream of James and Julia and I love, you know, Rosh

  615. Hashanah, OK? It's a prophetic invitation of

  616. windows of grace. Now listen to this because I

  617. want to talk to you about timing because this is the time we are

  618. in right now. Heavens opening of windows of

  619. grace. We are in a a window of grace

  620. right now. So I want to talk to you about

  621. this timing that it's called gates of grace.

  622. Kairos moment. We're in a Kairos moment because

  623. there's 2 words for time. Chronos that's the clock on the

  624. wall. Kairos, that is God's appointed

  625. time, the now time that we are in right now, which is the gates

  626. of grace, the heavens case. We're in Rosh Hashanah right

  627. now, Hebrews 3 verse 15, the now time today, if you will hear his

    Hebrews 3:15

  628. voice, do not harden your hands as in the rebel now.

  629. When God says today, do not answer, maybe later.

  630. When God says today, do not answer, maybe later.

  631. Because the late obedience often turns into disobedience.

  632. OK, without meaning to, now picture this at the airport.

  633. We go, we check in, then we receive our ticket.

  634. When we check in on the day of the flight, we receive the

  635. ticket or the boarding pass on that day for the flight.

  636. Now the Kairos moment, that's when the boarding gates open and

  637. they start announcing the boarding gates.

  638. That's open the boarding gates. That's the Kairos moment that

  639. God is talking about. That's when the Holy Spirit

  640. comes and he nudges you and he prompts you and the Holy Spirit

  641. says, phone that person, go talk to that person, send that

  642. e-mail, contact that. And the Holy Spirit nudges you.

  643. That means the boarding gate is open.

  644. That's when you need to move, when the gate still open because

  645. there's a problem with boarding gates.

  646. They don't stay open forever. A boarding gate, I'm telling

  647. you, I've been on many flights. I nearly missed so many.

  648. And in fact, in South Africa, I've missed the flight.

  649. And you know that because you fly a lot.

  650. But what I'm saying is when that boarding gates, I mean we were

  651. in Mexico, we travelled No, we were in Texas fly and we nearly

  652. missed our boarding gate. Pastor Michelle will tell you

  653. all about that story. We were running.

  654. We were still at the security to get through the the problem is

  655. the boarding gate. It doesn't always stay open

  656. forever when the Holy Spirit matters and prompts that means

  657. that gate's open now. That's why God is giving us this

  658. word, an in season word for right now, a Kairos moment.

  659. OK, And so you on that moment when that gate is open.

  660. OK, that's not the time now to run to the bathroom, take my

  661. hair, see if everything I've got to be all perfect.

  662. That's not the time to look cute and be perfect and get it all

  663. together and be listen, get on the plane.

  664. Oh, I cannot say this anyhow. Get on the plane when the gate

  665. is open. It's not then.

  666. Oh, I want to try and get myself ready and get get on the plane.

  667. Get on that plane when that gate is open.

  668. Now I want you to think about Israel standing on the edge of

  669. the border and there's the promised land, and God says this

  670. is your boarding call. Go in Israel, here's your

  671. ticket, here's your boarding part.

  672. I've given it all to you. There's the entire promised

  673. land. It's yours.

  674. Go in. But they focused on the Giants

  675. and they said we are like grasshoppers in our own site.

  676. And so they missed the gate, they missed the window of

  677. opportunity, they itch closed. Fear froze them in the moment

  678. and that passed. And later they tried to go in

  679. and the gate has closed. Now, the problem is we don't

  680. know when the next opportunity comes.

  681. I don't know when the next flight is going to go to that.

  682. I don't know when the next flight is coming tomorrow or the

  683. next day home. And that's the problem.

  684. We don't know when the next window of grace, when it's going

  685. to come. We don't know.

  686. And I just want to tell you, Yeah.

  687. What should have taken 11 days to get into the promised land

  688. stretch out to 40 years. I show this you've what should

  689. have taken 11 days from Egypt to the promised land straight out

  690. to 40 years. It meant after 11 days it took

  691. 40 years. Fear is expensive.

  692. Fear will charge you. Fear will cost you years.

  693. For when God I wanted to give you something in days, God

  694. wanted to give it to you in days.

  695. And fear is expensive and instead of days, it's charged

  696. and it cost. Yes, we are supposed to be way

  697. more cars. Like we've got a billion soul

  698. harvest ready for the taking. It should not take that long

  699. charge. Come on, come on church, There

  700. is a window of opportunity. There is a window of grace in

  701. your life, in your family, in this church right now.

  702. When that gate opens, don't let fear talk you out of favour.

  703. Today means today delayed obedience when it's delayed

  704. obedience that can turn and flows the gate.

  705. Now, let me give you another example.

  706. In the New Testament, next, chapter 24, the governor.

  707. Now listen, let's talk about some politics.

  708. Let's now be real and honest right here.

  709. Let's talk about the governor. And he had a conversation with

  710. Paul. And you know what, Felix, the

  711. governor was so touched. The Bible says he was so

  712. touched, terrified by the conviction in that conversation

  713. with Paul, when Felix had that conversation with him, he was so

  714. touched. That was a window, a gate of

  715. grace opportunity right there. But Felix didn't take it because

  716. the Bible says that. He says, Paul, leave me now, go

  717. now. And this is what he said for a

  718. more convenient time. And then later I'll call for

  719. you. He missed the opportunity.

  720. He missed the window of grace because we don't read that that

  721. convenient time came again. And so the governor, he missed

  722. this opportunity that was a gate of grace.

  723. We never read about it. And so convenience can become a

  724. thief. Convenience.

  725. If you wait for perfect conditions, you're going to wait

  726. forever. You wait for better conditions,

  727. better this sometime in the few better you're going to wait

  728. forever, very long time. That's why the word says today.

  729. I know this personally, personally, when God tucked in

  730. my heart, when the Holy Spirit prompted and nudged me to plant

  731. this church, it would have been very easy for me to say, maybe

  732. later Lord, maybe when we have more people, more money, more

  733. time. I was in a very convenient

  734. place. I was very happy in my job, very

  735. convenient, great big salary working in Bristol.

  736. I'm like God, maybe later, maybe we'll plant the church.

  737. Maybe in 2-3 years time, maybe I'll go and do some Bible school

  738. first. There's there's that all excuses

  739. postpone convenient time. But you see there was a window

  740. of grace right there when God notched me the Holy Spirit haunt

  741. the church. I'm not God the economy.

  742. How do you do that in this? But because there was a window

  743. of opportunity, a window of grace, I said yes.

  744. I didn't feel like a minister. I didn't go to Bible school.

  745. I didn't do, but I said yes and my yes didn't make things

  746. everything easy. My years made everything

  747. possible. Come on somebody.

  748. Yeah, yeah, just say yes. And in your life, maybe you are

  749. standing right now at a window, maybe at a gate of grace right

  750. now, might be reconciliation. Maybe God is nudging you to go

  751. and phone that person and make rights.

  752. Maybe it might be faith. Apply for the job, enroll for

  753. the course, join the team. Maybe it might be in freedom.

  754. Lay down the habit. Delete the number, block the

  755. number. Change the friendship.

  756. OK, change the pattern. Maybe it might be generosity so

  757. we see it. Support the family, place the

  758. family, support the vision. OK, in generosity the details

  759. are different, but the promptings, the nudging of the

  760. Spirit is the same. Do it now, do it now.

  761. Just do it, just do it now, do it now.

  762. Come on, Somebody said do it now, do it now.

  763. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do it now, do it now.

  764. God gives you grace for every season and either hear the Lord

  765. saying I am releasing grace in that place you are standing in

  766. right now. I hear the Lord say I am

  767. stepping into your today. Right now.

  768. I hear the Lord saying this is your Christ Mama church.

  769. That's what I yell at. The Lord is your grace moment

  770. right now. Grace moment.

  771. Somebody said grace moment. Grace moment.

  772. Grace moment. Yeah, God's grace is rising in

  773. this room. Grace, grace, grace to forgive

  774. what you could not forgive. To release and forgive that

  775. person who hurt. That's grace.

  776. Grace to forgive, to release, grace to carry what you thought

  777. that you could know what's going to crush that grace that you

  778. thought would crush you. This is your grace moment.

  779. Somebody showed this is my grace moment.

  780. Say that this is my grace moment.

  781. Tell your neighbor this is your grace moment.

  782. This is your grace moment. So let me give you some pictures

  783. of that kind of grace moment. I think of Corrie 10.

  784. Boom, a very brave believer who helped save the Jewish families

  785. during World War 2. And so eventually she got

  786. captured and put in a concentration camp and she saw

  787. things that no one should see. She saw her, her father and her

  788. sister died in the concentration camp and she got out.

  789. She came out without bitterness, so even that she forgave the

  790. gods who caused her family so much pain.

  791. And so when they asked her, so Corey, how could you forgive

  792. like that? She told the story about her

  793. childhood that when her dad, her father would buy tickets, train

  794. tickets when they were travelled across Europe.

  795. And so he would always hold on to the train tickets and he

  796. would never give her the ticket only until they're actually on

  797. the platform when the train starts coming in, because he

  798. knew if you would give it to her too early, she might lose the

  799. train ticket. And so Corey said that's God's

  800. grace. That's how God's grace look like

  801. that. God, he doesn't hand you the

  802. ticket until you need it. God gives you the train ticket

  803. until you board the train. I mean somebody because you

  804. don't need a 12 month grace supply.

  805. You need today's grace for today.

  806. You need today's ticket for the gentle day and God will put it

  807. in your hand on the right time. When you face the hardship, the

  808. valley, the difficulty, the challenge, when you face that

  809. situation and the the situation, it looks impossible.

  810. Your father will be there and your father knows exactly what

  811. you need at the right time at the right place.

  812. Come on. I saw that Grace ticket this

  813. past week when I watched the replay of Charlie Kirk's

  814. memorial service. Neil, watch that replay.

  815. And his young wife, Erica stood in front of the world in a

  816. moment no one could prepare for. And she said that people might

  817. expect her to be full of anger and full of race and silence.

  818. Instead, through cheers, she said, I forgive him, Jesus, I

  819. forgive him. Talking about the young man who

  820. murdered her husband, I forgive him.

  821. The Lord gave her a grace ticket.

  822. A grace moment that as she opened her mouth that she could

  823. bless the enemy, she could bless that person.

  824. Of course that deep pain, she could place him.

  825. If God can give that kind of a grace to her in such a moment,

  826. then God can give you a ticket for what you need today.

  827. He can give you a grace ticket for your situation.

  828. Your that hard phone call he can give it to you the decision that

  829. you'd rate the burden that you didn't choose your grace ticket

  830. is on time now I want to put you that up because it really

  831. touched me when she said when you watch how she released

  832. forgiveness. I forgive him the man who

  833. murdered my husband and that's Amazing Grace God empower her

  834. and when she said her little girls like us where is daddy She

  835. broke my heart and I was thinking of my Joshi when he

  836. would ask if I were to be taken. He would ask for some show where

  837. is daddy Jesus it it really touched me so deep this week.

  838. The children Amazing Grace and they'd rescues it restores

  839. Amazing Grace and so many of you know Alice Cooper as a wild rock

  840. star dark stage shows and you know few people knew that you

  841. know, at the height of his career he was drinking 2 cases

  842. of beer a day and he was pouring down to death.

  843. And so one night in the middle of a binge, he said the presence

  844. of God pulled stronger than alcohol.

  845. And he booked himself into the hotel, into the the hospital and

  846. he grabbed the Bible. He opened the Bible that his mom

  847. gave in. He grew up in church.

  848. And so in the hospital, he said that grace hit him like a ton of

  849. bricks. And he's like, I, I, I, it was

  850. not in my own strength, my own God's grace.

  851. God gave me the strength God about I was saved by grace to

  852. quit. It wasn't the process to quit

  853. drinking alcohol, to quit drinking and to rebuild his

  854. marriage. Alice Cooper saved by grace and

  855. he said it grace hits him so strong.

  856. He dropped that addiction like that, not even through just like

  857. that saved by grace. And so if God could do that for

  858. Alice Cooper, he can do that for you.

  859. Your ticket is on time now whether you need to quarry in a

  860. concentration camp or Erica at a memorial or Alice in a hospital

  861. room. OK, the patterns to say grace is

  862. enough, grace is enough. Grace is strong enough for the

  863. difficulties we are experiencing in this world.

  864. The death, the murder, the grace of God is still enough.

  865. And I've seen that over and over through our testimonies in the

  866. Bible. Grace is enough.

  867. On time. Today's ticket for today's need.

  868. And so I just received today's ticket.

  869. If you need to forgive, if it's difficult to just receive that

  870. ticket and just say, God, I receive your today's grace.

  871. I receive the grace to forgive. We are not living the Christian

  872. life in our own good work, our own strength.

  873. We're living it through the grace of God.

  874. We are saved by grace. And so as we close, let this

  875. settle deep in your heart today. Grace is enough.

  876. Grace is all you need. Grace wins every time.

  877. And so today's grace ticket. Your father has already bought

  878. your ticket and he is standing on the platform and he's smiling

  879. and he's saying I've got you, Step on board, I've got you.

  880. Here's your ticket. I've got you.

  881. Yes, he bought the ticket. You'll put it in your hand the

  882. right time. Trust His timing, trust his

  883. heart. Trust His grace because his

  884. grace is stronger. His grace wins every time.

  885. And so grace is not coming someday.

  886. Grace is here right now. It's Jesus himself that says my

  887. grace is sufficient for you. My power is released in your

  888. weakness, yes, and so come boldly to the throne of grace
