-
Yes, Hallelujah. And so yes, we are.
-
We've come to receive from heaven today.
-
We've come to receive what heaven what God has got for us
-
today. We are not yet to beat ourselves
-
up. We are not yet to try harder in
-
our own strength. We are yet to receive fresh
-
grace from heaven, heavens, grace from God.
-
So God's grace for today. And let me just tell you that
-
grace is enough. I love that song.
-
Grace is indeed, it is enough. So let your faith rise up
-
because today we we shift from self-reliance to God reliance.
-
We shift from stress to rest, OK.
-
And so if you open your hearts and you receive from heaven and
-
you believe I, I really believe with all of my heart, you will
-
leave in power today. You will leave full of the
-
spirit. You will leave revive.
-
You will be so full and feel lighter than what you came.
-
I mean, so open your heart and receive the word today.
-
I'm going to go straight into the word.
-
Grace is in the house. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, glory to
-
God. So I'm just going to go straight
-
into the word. Are you ready for the word?
-
Somebody? OK, glory to God.
-
So we're going to go right into this.
-
So speaking about grace, that is what I am going to be talking to
-
you about. And grace is in the house.
-
Yeah. And so a message of grace.
-
Are you ready for a message of grace today?
-
You've come on the right Sunday. So we are just.
-
Yeah. And we're going to go for it.
-
And we're going to flow with this grace message.
-
OK, Because grace is enough. And yeah, I want to the title of
-
the message today is grace is all you Need.
-
And I'll put that up on the screen here for us.
-
That's what I want to share with you today is grace is all there.
-
It is Grace is all you need. Amen somebody.
-
Now that's not my opinion. It's not my idea.
-
That is Scripture. That's straight from the Bible.
-
Now let's go there. Let me show you from Scripture
-
in second Corinthians chapter 12 in verse 9, it says and he said
2 Corinthians 12 chapter mention
-
to me, my grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made
-
perfect in weakness. Now I want to show you another
-
translation says it this way each time he said my grace is
-
all you need. My power works best in weakness.
-
Let's pray. Father, we thank you for your
-
presence in this place. We thank you that your Word is
-
alive and is full of power. A Lord, we open our hearts to
-
receive the grace you have prepared.
-
Holy Spirit, weave on this message.
-
Lift burdens, heal hearts, full us with strength for today.
-
And we declare that your grace is all that we need.
-
And somebody shout Hallelujah. Say Amen.
-
Give God some praise somebody. Hallelujah.
-
And yes, I wanna come on this scripture where the Bible says
-
God told Paul, my grace is enough.
-
And I just love that. One of such a powerful
-
principles in the word of God, he says, Paul, my grace is
-
sufficient for you. My grace, this is all that you
-
need. Now, some of us walked in with
-
questions this morning. How am I going to fix this?
-
What if I don't have what it takes?
-
What if the door doesn't open? And some came in with hurt, Some
-
came in today with loss, with worry.
-
Maybe it's a medical report that you did not expect.
-
And others walked in here today, and you are in a good season,
-
but the new opportunity feels a little bit big and a little
-
scary. Now, the good news for each and
-
every one of us, regardless of what you are going through,
-
whatever season you're going through, the good news is from
-
the word of God, grace is enough.
-
Somebody shout, grace is enough. Come on, put your eyes together.
-
And I want you to say that say grace is enough.
-
Tell somebody, turn to your neighbor and say grace is.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Grace is enough.
-
Grace is enough. And I feel the anointing in this
-
place. I'm ready to preach this.
-
Grace is here. And yes, grace is certainly.
-
It is enough. Amen.
-
And so grace doesn't just say that you are forgiven.
-
Grace doesn't just pardon your past.
-
Grace, it's power for your present.
-
Grace that is God's strength showing up in your everyday
-
life. Grace of God showing up the
-
strength in your life. At home, at work, on the school
-
run, in the traffic. OK, difficult conversations,
-
grace shows up, Grace strengthens, grace empowers,
-
grace lifts you up when you feel low, grace is enough.
-
Now think of grace like power for your phone.
-
You can have the best device, the best phone, but without a
-
charge, a power charge, the phone is dead.
-
The phone is goes dark. So grace is like a power charge
-
into your life that brings life. It gives you, it makes you shine
-
bright. That is grace of God, grace,
-
power. And listen, I'm here to tell
-
somebody today that grace is all you need.
-
Hallelujah. Come on, Grace is all I need.
-
I want you to say they say grace is all I need.
-
Grace is all I need. Now, how does grace come?
-
How does it come and how do we receive it?
-
Because first of all, grace, we don't earn grace, OK?
-
Sometimes we think that, you know, when I am stronger, when
-
I'm in a better place, then God will help me.
-
But God says, no, I'll help you right now in this situation, in
-
the struggle. I'll help you right now where
-
you feel weak. And so you don't have to earn
-
grace, OK? God says, I'll help you right
-
where you are. Meet you right there.
-
OK, So we receive grace. OK, Exodus chapter 16 God's
Exodus 16 chapter mention
-
people there in the wilderness and they had no food and God
-
sends manner from heaven every day, fresh manner every morning
-
and they were told not to store up the manner for tomorrow,
-
because if they tried the manner would go off, it would go rot
-
and expire to spoil. So to what God was teaching his
-
people was to learn to receive grace daily, to trust him daily
-
on a daily basis. And sometimes my kids, they ask
-
me, so just before the weekend, like Fridays, Ellis and dad
-
said, what are we going to eat this weekend?
-
What is up for, you know, dinner tomorrow?
-
And I just laugh and I just smile and I just say we eat
-
today first what we eat. And that is how God's grace
-
works. God feeds his for graceful
-
today, daily manner for today, fresh for today.
-
And so he feeds you today and then yes, of course, tomorrow's
-
menu will be ready for tomorrow when tomorrow comes.
-
But his mercies, and that's what the Bible says.
-
His mercies are new every morning now, new occasion.
-
It doesn't mean it's that it means it's fresh.
-
When he says it's new, it's means it's fresh.
-
So if you woke up today, there is fresh bread today.
-
There is fresh grace for you today and that's your portion
-
and it's got your name on it. Somebody shout Hallelujah.
-
You've got some praise because that's what the Scripture says
-
in the famous Malthus exit. Give us this day Our Daily
-
Bread. He did not say give us this day
-
our yearly bread. OK, but did not give the
-
Israelites a Costco card and say go to Costco and go and stock up
-
and pile up and store for 12 months.
-
OK, card said this day, this is fresh bread today.
-
OK Ailey, right now I love Costco.
-
OK, I'm just saying, yeah, for those that loves Costco, I love
-
Costco, but God's grace does not come in a bulk package.
-
God's grace come fresh every day, every morning, fresh manna,
-
fresh bread, fresh grace. And so it is so easy to get
-
worried up and to stick up and think about tomorrow and to
-
worry about the things as tomorrow.
-
What about next month's bill payment?
-
What about next week's meeting on Friday?
-
My kids next year God gives grace and the way he gives grace
-
He shows us in the word. It is like manner that falls
-
every single day. Every morning it is fresh.
-
So it gives you a daily portion. Grace for today.
-
OK, so for today's grace, for today's race.
-
Oh, so I feel the anointing of God in this place.
-
Come on, somebody give guys some grace for some daily grace,
-
Kylie. Oh, I feel the anointing of card
-
in this. Oh.
-
And so when tomorrow gets here, then there will be grace for
-
tomorrow. So stop worrying about
-
tomorrow's troubles because it drains today's strength and it
-
solves nothing. Are you with me, somebody?
-
OK, you understand what I'm saying here today.
-
I mean, so think about again your phone when it says updates
-
available, new update, new software to keep the phone up to
-
date, updates available. And so if you ignore your
-
phone's update and you just ignore it and you stop the
-
phone, the apps will start leaching.
-
When you do not download the apps, when you do not daily the
-
updates, when your phone just updates available, the apps will
-
start leaching. The things will start to run
-
slow. OK, things will freeze and
-
answer the phone now the same today Heaven is saying over us
-
today an update is available. We are not talking about last
-
month's brace. We are talking about a fresh new
-
anointing for this season we are living in right now.
-
And Heaven is saying there is a fresh update of fresh grace.
-
Fresh grace, fresh ideas, fresh favour that is available to
-
date. Now if we ignore it and we rush
-
into the day without receiving fresh manner, fresh bread, fresh
-
grace. If we ignore that, then our soul
-
glitches our thoughts. It's spiralling down.
-
Too much stress, too much things going over exertion and get
-
tired because we try to do God's work on yesterday's supply.
-
OK, but when you take time and you pause and you download, you
-
receive the update for today, then you receive grace.
-
You receive daily manner. And what happens is when you
-
receive your daily bread, your daily grace, you receive daily
-
direction, you receive daily wisdom for the day.
-
Hallelujah. And so peace returns and
-
strength comes because he's grace.
-
He's enough. I love that song from Chris
-
Tomlin. My God, I've, I've been
-
listening this for 10 years and when it came out like over 10
-
years ago, a decade ago, my grade is enough.
-
And I just, I've, I've, I used to listen to that.
-
I just got stuck over the years. It's like one of those golden
-
oldies. I just keep on singing it.
-
You know, you're gracious enough.
-
I remember that even back in South Africa.
-
I will just go. You're gracious enough for me.
-
Come on, let's sing it. You're crazy is enough.
-
You're crazy is enough for me. Come on, let's place.
-
Go to this place. Yeah, yeah, yeah, your place is
-
enough. So Pastor Will, how do we live
-
this out? How do we do?
-
Start your morning by saying, Father, I thank you.
-
I receive grace for today. And Lord, I thank you that your
-
grace is enough. And what I thank you that your
-
grace is bigger for what I'm going to face today what I will
-
face today whatever obstacle challenge your grace is bigger,
-
your grace is more your grace is higher.
-
Romans chapter 5 verse 20. The Bible says we send increased
-
grace increased more. That is the scripture somebody
-
that is powerful. Get that revelation today, OK,
-
because grace abounds much, much, much more.
-
Hallelujah, glory be to God. And so you don't need when you
-
talk to God, fancy words, you have a conversation, just
-
receive because when you receive your daily bread, when you
-
receive grace, that's when strength and direction and
-
wisdom is coming from. Because when grace steps in,
-
grace steps in, grace wins every time.
-
Oh, grace wins every time. Grace wins every time it wins.
-
Come on, I'm giving you a message.
-
Come on somebody, it wins every time.
-
Shout Hallelujah, shout yes, it wins.
-
It wins every time. It wins every time.
-
Christ wins every. I'm giving you a message that
-
you win every time. You take this, but you apply it.
-
You win every time. Hallelujah.
-
Somebody shot Hallelujah. Yeah.
-
Grace wins every time. Say that.
-
Say grace wins every time. Yeah.
-
Tell your neighbors. Say grace wins every time.
-
Yeah. Wish me as a grace winners in
-
this place. And yes, you know, sometimes you
-
know, things are live gates, there's some challenges, some
-
obstacles and things and I'm like, wow, I just this is this
-
is hard. I I just cannot do this any
-
longer. I just I cannot do this for
-
another year. But God is not asking you for
-
another year. God is asking you, Will you
-
trust me for today? Will you trust me for today's
-
daily break for today's daily break.
-
Will you trust me for this grace moment?
-
Because today's grace will not spoil.
-
Today's grace will not drop to our spot.
-
Today's grace will not let you down, OK?
-
Because it's always on time and his grace is always enough.
-
Somebody shout Hallelujah. Yeah, choice.
-
Listen, we are right here. Heaven has begged fresh bread
-
for us in this house today. Yell the word of the Lord.
-
We have got fresh bread. We've got fresh grace in this
-
place today. There is.
-
You do not have to run with yesterday's leftovers.
-
Fresh grace. Come on, somebody.
-
Fresh grace. And they're so Come get excited.
-
Are you excited? Somebody listen, there is fresh
-
bread in the house. My God, I get excited.
-
When my mum smoked the meal, I thought, thank you more.
-
There's fresh bread in this house.
-
There is Taylor money. There is Christ in this house.
-
I get excited when God's gives us fresh grace.
-
Oh, somebody shout yes, yeah, I just received it.
-
So I received fresh grace. Yeah.
-
So I received today's grace. Yeah, every morning when you
-
wake up, you say, oh, I receive it.
-
Come on. Throughout the Bible, the
-
Israelites, we receive fresh manner.
-
This is fresh bread today. Now let's look at that text
-
again. I want to show you something
-
very powerful. But he said to me, my grace is
-
sufficient for you, for my power is my perfect.
-
And somebody say weakness, God's best work is when we feel our
-
weakest. God's best work, God, works best
-
when we feel our lowest. My God, I feel the grace meets
-
our weakness, our lowest when things are low rock.
-
But grace meets thee and there is where power shows up.
-
My God, I feel the anointing. Are you getting this, somebody?
-
That's where grace meets at the weakest, our weakest, our lowest
-
rock bottom. That's where grace meets and
-
powers release. That's where power shows up.
-
And so your weakness is not a wall.
-
Your weakness is God's workspace.
-
OK? It's not.
-
It's not a reason to hide, OK? It's a reason to come close
-
because that's where we get help.
-
It's a throne of grace. Yes, it's a throne of grace
-
where we get help. Oh, has come close.
-
That's what he says. Listen, Hebrews 4, Chapter 16,
-
watch this. Let us therefore come boldly to
-
the throne of grace that we obtain and find price to help
-
win. Weakness, our lowest.
-
Oh, that's it. So weakness is not disqualified.
-
My limits, my weakness, that is where God works.
-
That is God's launchpad. When I am weak, that is when I'm
-
strong. Oh my Lord Jesus, you are
-
getting this. That's what this paradox.
-
When I'm weak, then I'm strong. But how's that working?
-
Because when I'm weak, that's when he steps in, that's when he
-
touches, that's when his power is released.
-
And that's when Paul the apostle, he keeps coming to
-
listen by. By the grace of God, I am who I
-
am. And Paul posted in his
-
weaknesses. It's not ashamed.
-
We don't have to be ashamed of our weakness.
-
Are you with me, somebody? And so God is not asking us to
-
be more stronger, to be more smarter, to be more talented, to
-
have it more together before he helps us, OK?
-
He says, listen, invitation, come to the throne of grace to
-
receive help in a time of need. So come to the front, bring me
-
your need and I'll bring your grace.
-
Come to the front, bring me your weakness and I'll give you my
-
power. I bring you my power.
-
The power flows when you're bringing His weakness and you
-
just go just honest before God. Yes, Christ doesn't wait for you
-
to get it all together. Grace doesn't wait for you to
-
reach perfection. God doesn't wait.
-
Grace doesn't wait for you to reach this certain high level
-
and get it all together, perfection, stronger.
-
Grace meets you right where you are, in the difficulty, in the
-
struggle, in the lowest point. Grace will meet you right there.
-
Oh, somebody shut. Hallelujah.
-
Oh, give God a praise in this place for the grace of God.
-
I will meet you in your lowest points.
-
How wonderful the grace of God. I feel like preaching this.
-
Listen, we are not saved by our strength.
-
We are not saved by our striving.
-
How smart we are, how talented we are, our money or we are not
-
set the power of this. And this is a very basic
-
foundational principle and whatever we are saved by grace.
-
Come on, somebody say, say by grace.
-
Now I want to show you because this is just so beautiful in
-
Ephesians chapter 2, verse 4, by Christ you have been saved
-
through faith and that is not of your size, it's not of your
-
strength. It is a gift from God.
-
So you are saved by grace. We are saved not by striving,
-
not by trying, not by performing, not by how strong,
-
not by ourselves. We are not saved by our
-
strength. We are saved by grace.
-
And you know what that is a gift.
-
We cannot earn it. We cannot work for we're going
-
to perform. We cannot look cute and
-
beautiful and we cannot. It's his grace that saves us.
-
Not our talents, not how smart we are.
-
His grace, we are saved. Somebody say saved by grace.
-
Now here's a picture like a glove, a world glove on a table
-
and he's. There.
-
And if I tell it to pick up a hammer and start, it flops.
-
Why? Because it's never made to work
-
to live on its own. OK, so it's made A glove is made
-
for a hand to come inside to step inside, right.
-
So that's a glove. A glove is made OK to be fault
-
with the hand. Now, the moment the hand slips
-
into the glove, the glove lifts, curries, bolt.
-
All of a sudden the hand is doing stuff.
-
But it could never alone, OK, could never do that alone.
-
And So what a glove does, simple.
-
It receives the hand. OK, you understand what I'm
-
saying? It receives the hand, it's
-
filled with the hand, and so it yields to the hand.
-
The glove is you, the hand is the Holy Spirit, and so you
-
receive the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit's in you,
-
you don't try and perform. You don't try and do and try and
-
strive and try and be and pretend to be strong.
-
OK, somebody give God some praise.
-
So all you do is just let him fool you and let the hand fool
-
you. And then you will finally you'll
-
find ability and courage that you didn't know you had.
-
And people will ask you, how did you do that?
-
And you will know that I didn't. It's the hand in me that it's
-
not me. It's the hand, OK, Just the
-
glove, OK. And it's the the hand of God
-
through your life. Hallelujah.
-
And that grace in time of need. It's those grace moments.
-
And I've seen some stories of that, some clips.
-
I've heard stories of people in a moment of danger who save
-
their friend from underneath a lift a car.
-
I've watched that clip. I don't know if the CBN news or
-
one of the Christian news broadcasting and it said, you
-
know this guy, he was with his friend and they were working on
-
the car and all of a sudden the Jack slipped and his friend is
-
trapped under that heavy car. But that man, he was able to
-
lift a very heavy 2000 LB heavy automobile, lifted it up, and he
-
saved his friend. That's the grace of God.
-
God's strength showing up in his time of need for strength he did
-
not have on an ordinary day. That's the grace of God.
-
And so God knows how to get you through the difficulty, God
-
knows how to intervene. God knows how to get you through
-
the struggle, through the obstacle, through the challenge.
-
He knows how to get you through it.
-
He empowers, He anoints you, He refreshes you.
-
God knows how to get you through the hardship.
-
God knows how to get you through the trouble, through what you
-
cannot handle alone. He knows how to get you through.
-
And so if you feel weak, don't be ashamed, okay?
-
Bring it to God and say, Lord, this is where I feel weak.
-
This is where I feel stuck. This is where I feel small.
-
This is where I'm struggling. And so, you know, you don't have
-
to be shamed. Paul the apostle was not ashamed
-
of his weakness. And so just go and be honest
-
with God and say, God, this is where I struggle.
-
And that honest and that open prayer of transparency, it's not
-
a step back, it's a step in because that's what God is
-
saying. He's inviting us in.
-
He says, listen, come to the throne of grace and bring me
-
your weakness because then I'm going to release power.
-
It's at the throne of grace. That's where there's help.
-
That's where he's helping you. And so when I run out, when I'm
-
limited, when I'm weak, when I run out and this is so
-
beautiful, that's when God steps in.
-
It's when I come to the end. God steps in and God's
-
intervene. And this is the revelation of
-
Paul the apostle. He's, he said, this is when I am
-
weak. That's when God's power.
-
That's listen, he says in that same word, the verse, he says a
-
verse. That is why I delight in
-
weakness, the light in weakness, not when he's got everything
-
together. Oh, I'm the great big apostle
-
now. He's been delighted in his
-
weakness, in the difficulties, the challenges.
-
He was being stoned, the challenges of life.
-
He's like, you know what, I delight in that because you
-
know, when I'm weak, when I'm going through the strong heart,
-
God is strong. That's right.
-
Listen, this is the very watch this.
-
Therefore, when I am weak, then that's a revelation.
-
I am strong. What a paradox.
-
But that is when I am strong. When I'm weak, then I'm strong.
-
Let's declare it together, say when I'm weak, then I'm strong
-
again. When I'm weak, then I'm strong.
-
Come on, give God some praise, somebody.
-
And so it's when we are the hand the the glove, because when we
-
are the glove, God's hand works through us, OK?
-
So stop trying to be the hand I've got, OK?
-
And when you start being the glove, that's when God's power
-
starts flowing, when we yield and we the glove and we say,
-
yes, Lord to the hand of God. And you will notice, well, I
-
should be losing it now, but I'm not, I should be stuck.
-
But I see a step. And so that is when we yield to
-
the hand of God, that's the hand of God in your life, the hand of
-
power. Now maybe you have asked God
-
over not just once, but you've asked God to remove the problem
-
and you've been praying and you've been asking God over and
-
over again. You've been asking God, God
-
remove the problem, but God hasn't removed the problem.
-
This is Paul the apostle that verse we just right now, the
-
first, just before that, Paul asked God not just once to
-
remove the problem. Paul kept on asking God because
-
he had this struggle. He had this phone in the flesh
-
and he kept on asking God. The Bible says you asked God
-
three times to remove this problem from my life because
-
this phone, it's very painful. Three times God answered the
-
very same thing over and over again.
-
He said, Paul, my grace is enough, My grace is sufficient.
-
My grace is all you need. My grace is enough.
-
Over and over. My grace is enough.
-
And sometimes when God, yes, moves the mountain, but
-
sometimes God moves in you to make you stronger than the
-
mountain. Either way, grace wins every
-
time. Hallelujah, somebody shot.
-
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. If when I move a mountain or
-
make you stronger than I'm a, grace wins.
-
Come on, somebody shot. Grace wins every time.
-
Grace wins every. Grace wins every time.
-
Oh, yes, grace wins every time. Hallelujah, Grace wins every
-
time. Somebody say grace wins every
-
time. Tell your neighbor.
-
Grace wins every time. Yeah, it wins every time.
-
Now let me show you a powerful revelation of how grace wins
-
every time. Is this OK?
-
Somebody can we go deeper? OK, let me show you this, how
-
grace empowers. And once every time.
-
Are you ready for this? God pours out oil in every
-
season. New grace, new favor, new
-
wisdom. He pours out.
-
He gives oil for every new assignment.
-
And I'm going to show you this very powerful in the life of
-
David where we see clearly oil for each season.
-
That's how grace wins every time.
-
I want to show you something very powerful today because the
-
first, David's first anointing, his first grace oil anointing
-
that was poured out. He was a shepherd of the sheep
-
and Samuel poured oil on him and said, you are God's choice.
-
That was the beginning of his story, OK?
-
And so that oil, that anointing on him, OK, that did not make
-
him king overnight, but it gave him courage to run towards the
-
giant when everyone else ran away.
-
So that was his first grace anointing, the beginning of
-
grace. Now maybe that is where you are.
-
Maybe you face a giant Goliath at home, at work, in your
-
thoughts. Maybe you face, but don't be
-
discouraged because this anointing of Christ empowers you
-
to slay giants. It's a giant slang annoy
-
somebody shot. Come on.
-
I know it's only first season first step where David started
-
by slaying a giant, but he's still powerful instead of
-
powerful anointing to bring down a Goliath, a chain.
-
OK. And so don't despise that
-
anointing beginning. Grace is powerful and it's the
-
start of the story. Now, years later, I want you to
-
see the second anointing. Remember every season Now here
-
comes the second anointing, where David was anointed King of
-
Hebron, so the anointed guy was anointed of Hebron.
-
Now Hebron is only one tribe. So yes, it's promotion, but it's
-
not full promote. It's not the full promise.
-
It's not the full. Yes, it's better than where you
-
are. It's it's one tribe, but it's
-
not the full. It's not your full prayers that
-
you've prayed. You understand what?
-
It's an in between season, OK. And so this is a place where you
-
learn, you learn to serve and you learn to lead behind the
-
scenes without the spotlight. And so you deepened your
-
character. So don't despise Hebron.
-
Don't rush Hebron. OK, Grow there.
-
And so keep your heart right while you are serving, while you
-
are in that, OK, while you wait. Because then Jerusalem came, and
-
so David was there, and Israel, they gathered and they anointed
-
David king over the whole nation.
-
This is now not just one. This is the whole nation.
-
This is a picture of fullness. This is the full picture, the
-
full promised land, the fullness.
-
But even in that anointing, even in that place of grace where
-
he's been anointed with oil as king now then Tynesian, he still
-
needed strategy. Because even in that nation,
-
they were still enemies. Just like the promised land.
-
They were still giant, they were still enemies.
-
And there's still the Jebusites in their stronghold.
-
They still mock David, and they still taunted them and said,
-
listen, David, you, we are high up in our stronghold.
-
You can not get here. And so David still needed
-
strategy, OK. And so David did not go over the
-
wall. God showed him a hidden path
-
through the shaft, the water shaft.
-
And that is a new anointing. How the new fresh anointing
-
looks like. It's new strategy.
-
And so God gives you an idea you didn't see.
-
Yes, it gives you a path you didn't plan.
-
That's the new anointing. It's the strategy.
-
And so he shows you a way and this way was under.
-
It was not over the wall when everyone, others looked at only
-
the wall, the limitation, the blocking.
-
David, God showed him another way, strategy.
-
Are you getting this somebody? Now when you look at every
-
season in David's life, every level there was resistance, but
-
every time with the with the resistance, the anointing
-
increased. You see how God works?
-
You see the word of God, You see Romans 5 now when the
-
resistance, the God increased the anointing.
-
So David was moving, right? New levels, new devils, right?
-
Let's anoint you, let's increase the anointing.
-
This is the day we are living in right now where the wickedness
-
are increasing. But God says, right, let me
-
release a stronger anointing where this chaos in the UK going
-
on or God says, let me just anoint my people with a stronger
-
anointing. That's that's the word of God.
-
OK, somebody. And so every level there's
-
resistance, but grace abounded. And so maybe if there's
-
resistance in your life right now, if the pushback in your
-
life is strong, don't panic. It's a sign oil has been poured.
-
If there's pushback in your life and resistance and struggles in
-
your life, it's a sign church oil has been poured.
-
You're getting a fresh new anointing.
-
Somebody get excited over this. Give God some price for a new
-
anointing. Yes, yeah.
-
The anointing on your life, it will carry you.
-
It will carry you in this generation we are living in
-
right now. God doesn't just match the
-
anointing with the wicked. This was oh, God overexceeds it.
-
Oh, they sit in the world. They sit in the world.
-
Look at the chaos of this guy's like, OK, let's just up the
-
grace. Come on, let's just up the
-
anointing. Oh God, Grace always wins.
-
Every time grace wins. Open on the news.
-
Look how desperate. Oh, it's so desperate.
-
Oh, so darkness, depression. Listen, God's got a plan.
-
God is one step ahead. He just releases.
-
It's anointing every level. And so when the pushback, if the
-
pushback is stronged up, you're being anointed.
-
The anointing on your life, the calling on your life, the oil on
-
your life is stronger than the pressures in the world.
-
The anointing on your life is stronger than sin and defeat the
-
temptations. The anointing that you carry is
-
stronger than the difficulties in the world.
-
It's stronger. Church, somebody said
-
Hallelujah. Give God some praise in this
-
place. Hallelujah and yes, God has oil
-
for every season and so fresh anointing.
-
It means God gives new oil for new weight.
-
It's simple. That's how God does.
-
He says I give you new oil for new weight.
-
Now maybe you're a parent with a new baby or maybe you got a
-
promotion at work and you feel the weight of more people, more
-
decisions, more responsibilities.
-
Maybe it's a promotion or in in an outreach.
-
In evangelism, God wants you to reach more people and you have
-
reached another level. You're in another ministry
-
evangelism season. Maybe it's a business, a new
-
role. Maybe it's a new career.
-
Guys, open the door for a new job, a better job.
-
Every level in your every level. Check over the past decades how
-
you grow. Every level meets a new
-
anointing. We see it in the life of David.
-
Every level from the giant all the way Hebrew.
-
Every time you reach a certain place, God's going to take you
-
higher. He's going to anoint you with a
-
fresh will. It's going to give you a new
-
anointing for a new assignment. Every level, broad pressure.
-
But where there's pressure, where there's resistance, God
-
says grace abounds much more anoint you with a stronger
-
anointing. Not just do naturalism, but you
-
ever got well for every season? Are you getting this now?
-
Can I go a little deeper? OK, let's step another step
-
deeper. Let me show you something about
-
timing because this is powerful, OK?
-
I had a dream of James and Julia and I love, you know, Rosh
-
Hashanah, OK? It's a prophetic invitation of
-
windows of grace. Now listen to this because I
-
want to talk to you about timing because this is the time we are
-
in right now. Heavens opening of windows of
-
grace. We are in a a window of grace
-
right now. So I want to talk to you about
-
this timing that it's called gates of grace.
-
Kairos moment. We're in a Kairos moment because
-
there's 2 words for time. Chronos that's the clock on the
-
wall. Kairos, that is God's appointed
-
time, the now time that we are in right now, which is the gates
-
of grace, the heavens case. We're in Rosh Hashanah right
-
now, Hebrews 3 verse 15, the now time today, if you will hear his
-
voice, do not harden your hands as in the rebel now.
-
When God says today, do not answer, maybe later.
-
When God says today, do not answer, maybe later.
-
Because the late obedience often turns into disobedience.
-
OK, without meaning to, now picture this at the airport.
-
We go, we check in, then we receive our ticket.
-
When we check in on the day of the flight, we receive the
-
ticket or the boarding pass on that day for the flight.
-
Now the Kairos moment, that's when the boarding gates open and
-
they start announcing the boarding gates.
-
That's open the boarding gates. That's the Kairos moment that
-
God is talking about. That's when the Holy Spirit
-
comes and he nudges you and he prompts you and the Holy Spirit
-
says, phone that person, go talk to that person, send that
-
e-mail, contact that. And the Holy Spirit nudges you.
-
That means the boarding gate is open.
-
That's when you need to move, when the gate still open because
-
there's a problem with boarding gates.
-
They don't stay open forever. A boarding gate, I'm telling
-
you, I've been on many flights. I nearly missed so many.
-
And in fact, in South Africa, I've missed the flight.
-
And you know that because you fly a lot.
-
But what I'm saying is when that boarding gates, I mean we were
-
in Mexico, we travelled No, we were in Texas fly and we nearly
-
missed our boarding gate. Pastor Michelle will tell you
-
all about that story. We were running.
-
We were still at the security to get through the the problem is
-
the boarding gate. It doesn't always stay open
-
forever when the Holy Spirit matters and prompts that means
-
that gate's open now. That's why God is giving us this
-
word, an in season word for right now, a Kairos moment.
-
OK, And so you on that moment when that gate is open.
-
OK, that's not the time now to run to the bathroom, take my
-
hair, see if everything I've got to be all perfect.
-
That's not the time to look cute and be perfect and get it all
-
together and be listen, get on the plane.
-
Oh, I cannot say this anyhow. Get on the plane when the gate
-
is open. It's not then.
-
Oh, I want to try and get myself ready and get get on the plane.
-
Get on that plane when that gate is open.
-
Now I want you to think about Israel standing on the edge of
-
the border and there's the promised land, and God says this
-
is your boarding call. Go in Israel, here's your
-
ticket, here's your boarding part.
-
I've given it all to you. There's the entire promised
-
land. It's yours.
-
Go in. But they focused on the Giants
-
and they said we are like grasshoppers in our own site.
-
And so they missed the gate, they missed the window of
-
opportunity, they itch closed. Fear froze them in the moment
-
and that passed. And later they tried to go in
-
and the gate has closed. Now, the problem is we don't
-
know when the next opportunity comes.
-
I don't know when the next flight is going to go to that.
-
I don't know when the next flight is coming tomorrow or the
-
next day home. And that's the problem.
-
We don't know when the next window of grace, when it's going
-
to come. We don't know.
-
And I just want to tell you, Yeah.
-
What should have taken 11 days to get into the promised land
-
stretch out to 40 years. I show this you've what should
-
have taken 11 days from Egypt to the promised land straight out
-
to 40 years. It meant after 11 days it took
-
40 years. Fear is expensive.
-
Fear will charge you. Fear will cost you years.
-
For when God I wanted to give you something in days, God
-
wanted to give it to you in days.
-
And fear is expensive and instead of days, it's charged
-
and it cost. Yes, we are supposed to be way
-
more cars. Like we've got a billion soul
-
harvest ready for the taking. It should not take that long
-
charge. Come on, come on church, There
-
is a window of opportunity. There is a window of grace in
-
your life, in your family, in this church right now.
-
When that gate opens, don't let fear talk you out of favour.
-
Today means today delayed obedience when it's delayed
-
obedience that can turn and flows the gate.
-
Now, let me give you another example.
-
In the New Testament, next, chapter 24, the governor.
-
Now listen, let's talk about some politics.
-
Let's now be real and honest right here.
-
Let's talk about the governor. And he had a conversation with
-
Paul. And you know what, Felix, the
-
governor was so touched. The Bible says he was so
-
touched, terrified by the conviction in that conversation
-
with Paul, when Felix had that conversation with him, he was so
-
touched. That was a window, a gate of
-
grace opportunity right there. But Felix didn't take it because
-
the Bible says that. He says, Paul, leave me now, go
-
now. And this is what he said for a
-
more convenient time. And then later I'll call for
-
you. He missed the opportunity.
-
He missed the window of grace because we don't read that that
-
convenient time came again. And so the governor, he missed
-
this opportunity that was a gate of grace.
-
We never read about it. And so convenience can become a
-
thief. Convenience.
-
If you wait for perfect conditions, you're going to wait
-
forever. You wait for better conditions,
-
better this sometime in the few better you're going to wait
-
forever, very long time. That's why the word says today.
-
I know this personally, personally, when God tucked in
-
my heart, when the Holy Spirit prompted and nudged me to plant
-
this church, it would have been very easy for me to say, maybe
-
later Lord, maybe when we have more people, more money, more
-
time. I was in a very convenient
-
place. I was very happy in my job, very
-
convenient, great big salary working in Bristol.
-
I'm like God, maybe later, maybe we'll plant the church.
-
Maybe in 2-3 years time, maybe I'll go and do some Bible school
-
first. There's there's that all excuses
-
postpone convenient time. But you see there was a window
-
of grace right there when God notched me the Holy Spirit haunt
-
the church. I'm not God the economy.
-
How do you do that in this? But because there was a window
-
of opportunity, a window of grace, I said yes.
-
I didn't feel like a minister. I didn't go to Bible school.
-
I didn't do, but I said yes and my yes didn't make things
-
everything easy. My years made everything
-
possible. Come on somebody.
-
Yeah, yeah, just say yes. And in your life, maybe you are
-
standing right now at a window, maybe at a gate of grace right
-
now, might be reconciliation. Maybe God is nudging you to go
-
and phone that person and make rights.
-
Maybe it might be faith. Apply for the job, enroll for
-
the course, join the team. Maybe it might be in freedom.
-
Lay down the habit. Delete the number, block the
-
number. Change the friendship.
-
OK, change the pattern. Maybe it might be generosity so
-
we see it. Support the family, place the
-
family, support the vision. OK, in generosity the details
-
are different, but the promptings, the nudging of the
-
Spirit is the same. Do it now, do it now.
-
Just do it, just do it now, do it now.
-
Come on, Somebody said do it now, do it now.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do it now, do it now.
-
God gives you grace for every season and either hear the Lord
-
saying I am releasing grace in that place you are standing in
-
right now. I hear the Lord say I am
-
stepping into your today. Right now.
-
I hear the Lord saying this is your Christ Mama church.
-
That's what I yell at. The Lord is your grace moment
-
right now. Grace moment.
-
Somebody said grace moment. Grace moment.
-
Grace moment. Yeah, God's grace is rising in
-
this room. Grace, grace, grace to forgive
-
what you could not forgive. To release and forgive that
-
person who hurt. That's grace.
-
Grace to forgive, to release, grace to carry what you thought
-
that you could know what's going to crush that grace that you
-
thought would crush you. This is your grace moment.
-
Somebody showed this is my grace moment.
-
Say that this is my grace moment.
-
Tell your neighbor this is your grace moment.
-
This is your grace moment. So let me give you some pictures
-
of that kind of grace moment. I think of Corrie 10.
-
Boom, a very brave believer who helped save the Jewish families
-
during World War 2. And so eventually she got
-
captured and put in a concentration camp and she saw
-
things that no one should see. She saw her, her father and her
-
sister died in the concentration camp and she got out.
-
She came out without bitterness, so even that she forgave the
-
gods who caused her family so much pain.
-
And so when they asked her, so Corey, how could you forgive
-
like that? She told the story about her
-
childhood that when her dad, her father would buy tickets, train
-
tickets when they were travelled across Europe.
-
And so he would always hold on to the train tickets and he
-
would never give her the ticket only until they're actually on
-
the platform when the train starts coming in, because he
-
knew if you would give it to her too early, she might lose the
-
train ticket. And so Corey said that's God's
-
grace. That's how God's grace look like
-
that. God, he doesn't hand you the
-
ticket until you need it. God gives you the train ticket
-
until you board the train. I mean somebody because you
-
don't need a 12 month grace supply.
-
You need today's grace for today.
-
You need today's ticket for the gentle day and God will put it
-
in your hand on the right time. When you face the hardship, the
-
valley, the difficulty, the challenge, when you face that
-
situation and the the situation, it looks impossible.
-
Your father will be there and your father knows exactly what
-
you need at the right time at the right place.
-
Come on. I saw that Grace ticket this
-
past week when I watched the replay of Charlie Kirk's
-
memorial service. Neil, watch that replay.
-
And his young wife, Erica stood in front of the world in a
-
moment no one could prepare for. And she said that people might
-
expect her to be full of anger and full of race and silence.
-
Instead, through cheers, she said, I forgive him, Jesus, I
-
forgive him. Talking about the young man who
-
murdered her husband, I forgive him.
-
The Lord gave her a grace ticket.
-
A grace moment that as she opened her mouth that she could
-
bless the enemy, she could bless that person.
-
Of course that deep pain, she could place him.
-
If God can give that kind of a grace to her in such a moment,
-
then God can give you a ticket for what you need today.
-
He can give you a grace ticket for your situation.
-
Your that hard phone call he can give it to you the decision that
-
you'd rate the burden that you didn't choose your grace ticket
-
is on time now I want to put you that up because it really
-
touched me when she said when you watch how she released
-
forgiveness. I forgive him the man who
-
murdered my husband and that's Amazing Grace God empower her
-
and when she said her little girls like us where is daddy She
-
broke my heart and I was thinking of my Joshi when he
-
would ask if I were to be taken. He would ask for some show where
-
is daddy Jesus it it really touched me so deep this week.
-
The children Amazing Grace and they'd rescues it restores
-
Amazing Grace and so many of you know Alice Cooper as a wild rock
-
star dark stage shows and you know few people knew that you
-
know, at the height of his career he was drinking 2 cases
-
of beer a day and he was pouring down to death.
-
And so one night in the middle of a binge, he said the presence
-
of God pulled stronger than alcohol.
-
And he booked himself into the hotel, into the the hospital and
-
he grabbed the Bible. He opened the Bible that his mom
-
gave in. He grew up in church.
-
And so in the hospital, he said that grace hit him like a ton of
-
bricks. And he's like, I, I, I, it was
-
not in my own strength, my own God's grace.
-
God gave me the strength God about I was saved by grace to
-
quit. It wasn't the process to quit
-
drinking alcohol, to quit drinking and to rebuild his
-
marriage. Alice Cooper saved by grace and
-
he said it grace hits him so strong.
-
He dropped that addiction like that, not even through just like
-
that saved by grace. And so if God could do that for
-
Alice Cooper, he can do that for you.
-
Your ticket is on time now whether you need to quarry in a
-
concentration camp or Erica at a memorial or Alice in a hospital
-
room. OK, the patterns to say grace is
-
enough, grace is enough. Grace is strong enough for the
-
difficulties we are experiencing in this world.
-
The death, the murder, the grace of God is still enough.
-
And I've seen that over and over through our testimonies in the
-
Bible. Grace is enough.
-
On time. Today's ticket for today's need.
-
And so I just received today's ticket.
-
If you need to forgive, if it's difficult to just receive that
-
ticket and just say, God, I receive your today's grace.
-
I receive the grace to forgive. We are not living the Christian
-
life in our own good work, our own strength.
-
We're living it through the grace of God.
-
We are saved by grace. And so as we close, let this
-
settle deep in your heart today. Grace is enough.
-
Grace is all you need. Grace wins every time.
-
And so today's grace ticket. Your father has already bought
-
your ticket and he is standing on the platform and he's smiling
-
and he's saying I've got you, Step on board, I've got you.
-
Here's your ticket. I've got you.
-
Yes, he bought the ticket. You'll put it in your hand the
-
right time. Trust His timing, trust his
-
heart. Trust His grace because his
-
grace is stronger. His grace wins every time.
-
And so grace is not coming someday.
-
Grace is here right now. It's Jesus himself that says my
-
grace is sufficient for you. My power is released in your
-
weakness, yes, and so come boldly to the throne of grace
-
and bring your weakness and receive oil for this season and
-
step through gate of grace. And as you go, go with this
-
promise in your spirit. Grace is all you need Amen.
-
Let's all stand let's put our hands together praise God, thank
-
you Jesus glory to God so yes, it's time to respond church.
-
If you feel weary, if you foreworn out this moment is for
-
you. There is fresh bread, there is
-
fresh mana phrase grace with your name on it.
-
Maybe you're stepping in a new responsibility, a new job, a new
-
venture, a new role. This moment is for you.
-
There is fresh oil maybe in this promotion that you step in, God
-
anoints every season. And so if you step into your new
-
season, there is fresh oil, there is a fresh new anointing
-
for you today. And so maybe you are saying,
-
well, you know, I need to forgive and I need to let go.
-
A person that's heard me, this is for you, OK?
-
There is grace in this room to forgive and to let go.
-
And so if you are saying today I am receiving today's grace
-
ticket, if that is you, I want you to raise your hands as a
-
sign of faith, a sign that you are receiving today's grace,
-
that you're receiving fresh oil, courage for your Kairos moment.
-
Open your heart and I want you to receive this.
-
Pray, Father, I pray for every person under the sound of my
-
voice in the mighty name of Jesus.
-
For the weary, let strength arise, Lord.
-
For every anxious heart, let peace settle.
-
For those stepping into a new responsibility, a new role, a
-
new white, Lord, I pray release fresh oil, fresh anointing for
-
those, Lord that is sensing and nudging Holy Spirit, that is a
-
gate of grace that's just open. I pray for courage and for
-
boldness to step out and for obedience to be released.
-
Lord, I pray for those releasing hurts, Lord, forgiving others.
-
I pray Lord, and we speak grace to forgive, grace to release.
-
I break the power of bitterness in the name of Jesus and we
-
receive the secret of grace for this hour.
-
Enough for today, fresh bread for today, enough for this
-
moment. Holy Spirit, come and full every
-
glove, every glove right now. Holy Spirit, full your people
-
and be strength in our weakness. And we say thank you that grace
-
once every time. Thank you that grace is enough.
-
Thank you that your grace is all that we need.
-
Somebody Hallelujah. Give God somebody, somebody
-
Hallelujah. No, I want to to steal this with
-
declarations, say it out loud, say God's grace is all I need.
-
His power is perfect. In my weakness, I receive fresh
-
grace. Right now, for this season, I
-
walk in fresh anointing. In the season I step through
-
gates of grace, I forgive, I release, and grace is enough.
-
Grace wins every time in my life.
-
I am Hallelujah. Come on, somebody give God some
-
praise. Lift that shot of praise like
-
you've received it, because grace wins every time.
-
Grace is. Yeah, grace is enough now.
-
Right now, call to salvation. If you've never given your life
-
to Jesus, right now is your chorus moment, your grace
-
moment. Don't wait for another day.
-
Don't hesitate. Today's your day.
-
If that's you and you say yes to Jesus, is there anybody right
-
now? Maybe you've drifted and you
-
want to come back to Jesus into your life right now.
-
I want to give you an opportunity to just raise your
-
hands. Is everybody born again?
-
Everybody saved everybody? OK, you want to recommit your
-
life, Matthew? You want to?
-
