  17. And so let me just first give it to you in context so you know

  18. what's going on in Exodus chapter 33.

    Exodus 33 chapter mention

  19. Just to give you some background, Moses is up in the

  20. mountain now. He's already with this an

  21. experience. I read seaported.

  22. He's already with this an experience manner from heaven,

  23. water from the rock and now he's not asking for manner.

  24. He's not asking for water from the rock.

  25. He's hungry for something deeper and he's asking Lord, show me

  26. your glory. God responds and God answers it

  27. Moses, my goodness will pass be for you.

  28. My God, I feel like preaching this right there.

  29. That's powerful. That's a sermon.

  30. Thank God. I'm ready to preach this

  31. Hallelujah Christ God listen Morris says he asked God I just

  32. I love how he asked God for glory.

  33. I love the way our God responded with goodness.

  34. OK, so you know what that tells me that tells me that God's

  35. glory is wrapped in his goodness.

  36. My God, I'm excited about this word Hallelujah.

  37. Are you ready to run? Are you ready to go deep in this

  38. word today? Somebody.

  39. OK, let's go for this now let's go.

  40. Exodus chapter 33. And we are going to pick it up

    Exodus 33 chapter mention

  41. from verse 18. And it says that then Moses

  42. said, now show me your glory. And the Lord said, I will cause,

  43. Oh my goodness to pass in front of you.

  44. Let's just pray to godfather we come with open hearts, wide

  45. open, ready to receive you this morning.

  46. Father, we pray. Let your presence full of this

  47. place. Let your goodness flood every

  48. heart. Oh Lord, speak to us, speak to

  49. every heart. Lord, let your word come alive

  50. in US. Oh Lord, we pray, Show us your

  51. glory. In the mighty name of Jesus we

  52. pray, right? And somebody say Amen, right?

  53. So when we talk about the glory of God, OK, we are not just

  54. talking about clouds, Thunder and lightning.

  55. We are talking about the fullness of who God is.

  56. And the Bible says God is good. I meant God is good.

  57. That is, is who he is. So goodness isn't something that

  58. he has to try to do. That is who he is.

  59. Can you say I meant somebody? So his plans, and this is

  60. amazing. His plans for you and for me,

  61. for us, for you is good plans. His plans for you are good.

  62. His ways are good. His heart is good.

  63. He's good. So he's not trying to be good.

  64. That is who he is. He is good.

  65. Somebody say God is good. Put your guys together.

  66. Somebody showed. Hallelujah, give God some praise

  67. in this space because God is good.

  68. It's how your neighbor God is good.

  69. We got to have some church in here today.

  70. I'll tell you, I'm already feeling the right to you.

  71. This place, my God. Hallelujah.

  72. How are we going to get through this one?

  73. Praise God. Psalm 136 verse one, one of my

  74. favorite scriptures. Oh, give thanks to the Lord for

  75. he is good for his mercy and tears forever.

  76. OK, that's not sometimes that means forever means all the so

  77. God, it's not just good. Sometimes God is good all the

  78. time, OK, and all the time he's got it.

  79. That's we're not just pointing a cliche, right?

  80. OK, we are declaring who God is. OK, and God is good all the

  81. time. Come on, somebody said God is

  82. good all the time and all the time.

  83. We're having some church here today.

  84. So this is not just a religious little saying, OK, this is real,

  85. this is powerful. This is the word of God.

  86. It is not something that you can, this is something, listen,

  87. you can experience and live and walk in every single day, OK?

  88. You don't have to just wait for Sunday morning, OK?

  89. It's in your Monday morning. It's in your Tuesday morning,

  90. it's in your lunch breaks, OK? It's God is good all the time.

  91. Come on, say that with me. God is good all the time.

  92. Tell your neighbor he's good all the time.

  93. The same yesterday, OK. He's always the same, always the

  94. same. Good, good, good, good, good

  95. guys, not just sometimes in a good mood, OK, God is good all

  96. the time. Yesterday, today and forever

  97. He's the same, OK. And so he's good.

  98. Now what I love about the gospel, that's effective

  99. evangelism when we reach people around the world is because the

  100. gospel is not just news, OK? It's good news because our guard

  101. behind it is good, a good gods. And so he's good all the time.

  102. He's good on the mountain top and he's good in the valley, OK.

  103. He's good when the doors open and it's good when the doors

  104. shut. When he stays shut, he is still

  105. all the time. And so that is talking about the

  106. glory zone, living in the presence, the fullness of God.

  107. Somebody say I'm stepping into the glory zone.

  108. Yeah, the glory zone, somebody. So when Moses stood on that

  109. mountain, he was longing for more.

  110. He was once in more. He had a desperation, a cry for

  111. presence. And he says, Lord, Lord, show me

  112. your glory. I want to know you more.

  113. I want to know your heart. I want your presence.

  114. I want to go deep. I don't just want to know what

  115. you can give, give, or do for me.

  116. I want you, I want to know, I want to go deeper.

  117. Lord, I want to live, I want to walk in your glory.

  118. I want to experience this glory realm, this zone every day of my

  119. life. Show me your glory, God.

  120. And so here comes God, and he answers, and he revealed his

  121. goodness. And so the glory is revealed

  122. through the goodness of God. His glory is revealed through

  123. his goodness. So they go hand in hand

  124. together, You they connected. God's glory and His goodness is

  125. connected. You cannot separate them from

  126. one another, OK? When God shows up, His goodness

  127. shows up. Amen.

  128. And so God's revelation to Moses on the mountain is our, each and

  129. every one of us revelation as well.

  130. And this is the revelation. His goodness, my God, I mean, my

  131. God. Yes, Moses, he's seen the

  132. miracles, he's seen the red seas, he's seen the war, he's

  133. seen powerful that and he's like the goodness of God on the

  134. mountain. What a revelation.

  135. Now maybe life has been lightly difficult and rough and hard.

  136. Maybe there's been some financial struggles, balls

  137. stacking up and piling up financial or yield like health

  138. battles been going on and it's just been it feels like praise

  139. have been unanswered. And you might have been

  140. wondered, but is God really good?

  141. Is he really, I mean, our crazy chaotic world, difficulties,

  142. challenges, is he really a good card?

  143. And maybe you might have wondered that, but God sent me

  144. here this morning to come and tell you and to remind you, yes,

  145. He is still a good, good God. He is still good.

  146. Somebody put your hands together and celebrate the goodness of

  147. God this morning because I believe somebody is about to

  148. experience the goodness of God. God, OK, Because when God shows

  149. up, he never shows up into handed.

  150. He brings his glory. His glory is his goodness.

  151. My God, I feel the presence of the Lord in this place.

  152. I feel like precious. This is the glory zone and the

  153. glory zone is available. It is within reach.

  154. You just have to open your heart and say, oh Lord, show me your

  155. glory. Oh Lord, let me see.

  156. Oh, let me see your goodness. Let that be the cry of your, let

  157. that be the longing this morning, crying from your heart.

  158. Oh yes, I want to see your God. Oh let me see your goodness God.

  159. Hallelujah, something is about to happen in this place.

  160. Oh, Oh my God, get ready, just get ready because his goodness

  161. is about to overtake your life like never before.

  162. Hallelujah, somebody shot. Hallelujah.

  163. Crap your hands and give God some place in this house.

  164. Jesus is good God, come on, cry out.

  165. Show me your glory. Come on like you mean it.

  166. Come on, come on, show me your glory.

  167. Who's meaning business here with God today.

  168. So yes, if you mean business with God, he'll mean business

  169. with you when you cry out, when you draw near to God, he'll draw

  170. near to you. He's just waiting for you to

  171. cry. He's just waiting for your call.

  172. Make that call. Pick up the phone and phone

  173. heaven. Right now you've got a Direct

  174. Line. Is an open heaven.

  175. There's an open heaven. Yeah.

  176. I thank God for open heavens. You've got a direct call to

  177. heaven right now. Call on heaven.

  178. He'll answer. He'll answer.

  179. He'll pick up the phone. He won't let it go into

  180. voicemail. God's not too busy.

  181. He's not too bad. He'll answer the call.

  182. When you cry alone. Show me your goodness.

  183. Oh, my God. When you step into the glory

  184. zone, you step into the goodness of God.

  185. Now here's the key, Chaz, you have got to tune in.

  186. You have got to open your eyes. You've got to shift your focus

  187. and TuneIn to what God is doing. Because here's the thing, a lot

  188. of people miss it because they're not looking for it.

  189. We get so busy in life that we focus on what is going wrong,

  190. what's going wrong there, what's going wrong.

  191. Yeah. And so we get so busy and caught

  192. up that we forget to notice what is going right.

  193. We get so busy and so caught up with what is wrong, with the

  194. Mace, with the brokenness, that we miss the beauty.

  195. Then we miss out what is beautiful.

  196. And so focusing just on the negative, the negative news and

  197. the negative. And then finally something good

  198. happens. And then when something good

  199. happens, then they say, well, that was just like a lucky break

  200. or coincidence or random. The Bible says every good thing

  201. from heaven, every good thing in our lives is from above, from

  202. God come about somebody. It's not that, it's God.

  203. Let me prove that to you In the book of Change, chapter one,

  204. verse 17, it says every good and perfect gift is from above is

  205. coming down from the Father of the heavenly rising.

  206. Every good gift is from God. So when the door opens, when the

  207. peace shows up in the middle of the storm, when the needs met,

  208. that's not luck, that's not random.

  209. That is the goodness of God. Hallelujah.

  210. That's the glory zone showing up in your life.

  211. Somebody, come on. Hallelujah.

  212. I mean, you find a car parking space when you're running late.

  213. God's goodness. Yeah.

  214. Someone phoned just at the right time when you needed

  215. encouragement. God's goodness.

  216. The text came through just the right time.

  217. The goodness of God, Somebody. That cancer is gone.

  218. That's the goodness of God. OK, That healing your body woke

  219. up this morning with breath in your lungs.

  220. That's the goodness of God with the roof over our heads.

  221. Say I made somebody. So just don't miss it.

  222. Start noticing the goodness of God.

  223. Don't be like those who had Jesus in their midst, sitting in

  224. their midst, Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus the Son of God, and they

  225. missed. They never noticed, they never

  226. recognized Jesus. They had Jesus right there.

  227. They didn't recognise Him. Lift up your eyes, open your

  228. heart, because God's goodness is not finished.

  229. He didn't stop with Moses. And the same glory is flowing in

  230. and through your life right now. It's your home, it's your

  231. finances, into your family, into your career, your future, your

  232. health. Come out, somebody shot.

  233. Hallelujah. Give God some glory in the

  234. splice dress. OK, now let's dive a little

  235. deeper here. Are you OK to go deeper?

  236. Is it too deep or is it too fast?

  237. Are you with me? OK, let's go a little bit deeper

  238. because they would say something powerful taste and see Oh my

  239. God, somebody is already getting this.

  240. You already got to taste and see that.

  241. But let me just read that for those of you who've missed

  242. listen it says here taste sound pretty boy taste and see that

  243. the Lord OK, it doesn't say just read and think about it.

  244. It says Tyson see means experience it.

  245. It's like listen, don't stand on the side of the water.

  246. I know so just suck in and just go for it.

  247. Dive in OK Monica just dive just experience it for yourself.

  248. That's the invitation of God is saying, listen, just taste and

  249. see that he is good, OK, Because gosh, get this is not just found

  250. in the huge moments and we thank God for the huge moments and the

  251. spectacular and the big yes, that's great.

  252. But his goodness is also in the small things, the little things,

  253. the everyday ordinary things. OK, that phone call that just

  254. came at the right time when your heart was breaking this, the

  255. small things, OK, those things that sometimes that you don't

  256. even think, but God is in it because God knows that God who

  257. knows the number of your hair that's on your head, reaches

  258. into your day with his goodness. Amen.

  259. And so listen, what we need to do church is this is very

  260. important. We have to develop a

  261. sensitivity. It's AI call it a glory radar

  262. that we become that we develop a sensitivity for the things of

  263. God, what God is doing, what God is we God's working and how is

  264. working inside radar. So you need to tune in and start

  265. recognizing the things that God, that God is working all around.

  266. OK. And so that is highly important

  267. in the time that we are living in that you create a greater

  268. awareness for the presence of God because God is always doing

  269. more than you know. So listen, you know, people

  270. questioning the goodness of God. The the problem isn't that God

  271. isn't good. The problem is that we are not

  272. always noticing it being so busy and caught up with the things of

  273. the world. It's easy then when things got

  274. difficult to start questioning the goodness of, but we have got

  275. to slow down. It's like that we've not always

  276. noticing is that we haven't slowed down long enough to see

  277. it, to see God at work, to see the goodness of God.

  278. So this is what we need to do in order to create a greater

  279. awareness, a sense of recognizing is trying your

  280. heart. Start asking yourself, where did

  281. I see God today? Was it in the friend that showed

  282. up OK? Was it in the mercy, the mercy,

  283. in the mess? Was it in the peace, in the

  284. pressure? OK, because that is the glory

  285. Zone church living in the goodness of God.

  286. He says taste and see. So he's inviting us.

  287. Taste and see. Listen, let me tell you this

  288. God, let me tell you something about he's better than you

  289. think. My God, grab that, grab that,

  290. grab that. Oh yes, He's better than you

  291. think. Yes, God is good.

  292. He's better than you think. And so he's closer than you

  293. feel. He's working more than you

  294. realize. So you're not waiting for

  295. goodness to show you already in it.

  296. It's just a matter of recognizing it and tuning in.

  297. Because listen, when you look that over your life, you will

  298. know it wasn't Randa. You'll know if the goodness of

  299. God who's been guiding you all the way, yes, OK, It was the

  300. goodness of God. He made a way where there was no

  301. way. He brought the right people into

  302. your life, the right places, the right time, the right

  303. opportunities. That wasn't coincidence, those

  304. connection. That was the goodness of God.

  305. Somebody, I mean, and so God's goodness showing up again and

  306. again and again in your life. And so when you make mistakes,

  307. He covered you, OK, right. So you're not here today because

  308. you've done everything right. You are here today is because

  309. God is faithful, because God is merciful, because God is a kind

  310. God. He's a loving God.

  311. He's a forgiving God. He's a good God.

  312. Come on, somebody, glory to God. God is good.

  313. And yes, he's been good to you. He's been good to you.

  314. He's been good to us. Come and say with me, God is

  315. good and it's been good to me. Yes.

  316. Every day wake up and say that God, you'll be good to me.

  317. Yeah. Yes, your God is good.

  318. Yeah. We're not living in luck.

  319. I'm not living. I'm living in a glory zone.

  320. Come on. It was God who gave you favour

  321. with the person who gave you the job when you had no experience.

  322. It was God. Yeah, connected you to that

  323. opportunity. And that person had shifted

  324. everything. It was God, not chance, not

  325. luck, not you pulling all the right strings.

  326. It was God. Come on somebody, can we take a

  327. moment and just give God some praise?

  328. Give him praise for how far he has brought us.

  329. Cough He has brought us, just don't forget how far he brought

  330. you. Don't forget who brought you.

  331. Yet don't get so comfortable in the blessing that you forget who

  332. blessed you. OK give him the glory.

  333. Lesbian people who never, ever stop giving God the glory,

  334. giving him the praise, giving him the let's be a never stop

  335. giving God the glory. And I remember 20 years ago in

  336. South Africa, I walked into a church and I thought it's just a

  337. normal church service, just an ordinary church service.

  338. And something happened that day and I'll never forget it.

  339. I walk into that church and I met Michelle, my wife, my

  340. miracle, the most incredible woman.

  341. Amazing. Well, I love her so much.

  342. My God, she's amazing. She's a mother.

  343. Oh my God, how some folks watch say, well, that's just by

  344. chance. Peace.

  345. OK, look on. It's the goodness of God showed

  346. up in my life to bring that gorgeous, amazing bit of a

  347. wonderful life. I mean, there's all to Rihanna

  348. doesn't even know. Ah, she's glorious.

  349. I love her. OK, before I get carried away,

  350. but I remember his car. He, they, our children, our

  351. three boys, each one with a testimony, then the ministry,

  352. the church. OK, it's not luck, it's not

  353. random. It's not it's God, Daddy, God

  354. showed up. It's him that made it happen.

  355. And every day I thank you. I said thank you, Lord, I know

  356. that was you. That was your goodness, the

  357. goodness of God. Now let me tell you this.

  358. If you only knew everything that God has been arranging behind

  359. the scenes to get you where you are today.

  360. If you only knew everything they see the way He lined up,

  361. conversations, people, opportunities, connections, it

  362. would overwhelm you with gratitude.

  363. If you see what God is doing behind the scenes to get you

  364. where you are today, you would be grateful.

  365. We would be overwhelmed with thankfulness, with gratitude.

  366. Jesus said you did not choose me, I chose you.

  367. OK, That means you didn't just stumble in this life.

  368. God picked you, Jesus chose you, Jesus positioned you, He prepaid

  369. you, and he's not finished with you yet.

  370. Somebody shout Hallelujah. Now, I grew up in South Africa

  371. in a small town, nothing fancy, no silver spoon.

  372. But the Bible says do not despise the days of small

  373. beginnings. So if your life doesn't look

  374. like what is the dream in your heart, don't get discouraged,

  375. OK? God is working in the small.

  376. Keep on being faithful where you are, even when it looks small.

  377. Don't wait for the big break to give your best.

  378. Give your best right now, right where you are, when nobody's

  379. watching, when nothing seems to be happening, give your best.

  380. Keep sowing, keep showing up, keep trusting God because God

  381. sees and God knows and your season will come where you will

  382. reap a harvest, your due season. And I so remember the early days

  383. when we launched the church in Carnwood Community Centre.

  384. It was just me, Michelle, my wife and my first born.

  385. OK, not a big team, not flashing lights, no fancy, just the word

  386. from God and a whole lot of faith.

  387. Didn't have the crowds, OK, didn't have their comfort, but

  388. we had a call. And every time when I look back

  389. and I remember and I see how far God has brought us, I cannot

  390. help but to thank him. I cannot help but to give him

  391. the price. I cannot help but to give him

  392. the glory and say thank you God for working of God.

  393. Look where you have brought us from.

  394. I remember what the critic says. The critics, they said you won't

  395. make it, you won't last, you will burn out.

  396. And so then COVID hits and then the pressure came.

  397. Businesses closed. But we did not fail.

  398. We flourished. We didn't go under.

  399. We went over. Somebody said Hallelujah.

  400. And that was not good marketing or good skills.

  401. That was a good news of God, Hallelujah.

  402. Praise God, somebody. I'll never forget one day out of

  403. nowhere we got a phone call from this person just do that only

  404. visited our church a couple of times when it was time.

  405. Not even a a sort of like a regular attendant member and

  406. they just said, listen, we felt late to bless you with a car.

  407. We and they sold an amazing car into our lives and that wasn't

  408. luck coincidence. That was God showing up to

  409. remind her I am good. I'm a good God.

  410. Come on, somebody shout out Hallelujah.

  411. Thank you Lord, for your goodness.

  412. Yeah, Hallelujah. I give God all the praise.

  413. God has been good to us. Let that be everyday.

  414. Wake up. God has been good to us.

  415. OK, now watch this in Romans 828.

  416. And we know that in all things God works for the good, those

  417. who love it. OK, It doesn't say God works

  418. through some things. It says all things.

  419. That means the highs and the lows.

  420. OK, it means all things. That means every detour, every

  421. disappointment, every delay, God works.

  422. God knows how to bring things together for your good.

  423. He knows how to bring it together.

  424. Even the mistakes that you make, even in the the mess situations,

  425. the times when you have messed up.

  426. God knows how to take every mess, every different, every

  427. challenge and bring it together and work it for your good.

  428. Hi God, what a God do we serve somebody?

  429. We take our messes and turn it around for good.

  430. Oh somebody Hallelujah. God can use it all.

  431. He knows how to take broken pieces and build something

  432. beautiful. What amazing card.

  433. Hallelujah. Now let's be real.

  434. It's very easy to shout God is good when life is good.

  435. It's very easy to proclaim and declare, yeah, God is good when

  436. circumstances are good, OK, When everything is going your way and

  437. the family's happy and everybody's good, then it's easy

  438. to say God is good. OK, when the prayers are on set,

  439. the doors are open, it's easy to say God is good.

  440. But what if When it's difficult? What when life doesn't make

  441. sense, when you don't understand, when life doesn't

  442. feel fair? That's real faith that says God

  443. is still good. Even in the pain, even in the

  444. struggles of life, even in the suffering and the challenges,

  445. God is still good. And you might be in a season

  446. right now where you don't know how things are going to work

  447. out. But yeah, me.

  448. Just because you don't see a way out, that doesn't mean God's not

  449. working. God is working behind the

  450. scenes. God is realigning things.

  451. God is redeeming things. He's positioning things.

  452. He's rearranging things. God never wastes a tear.

  453. He never wastes a trial, He never wastes a battle.

  454. So instead of questioning his goodness and say, why is this

  455. not happening to me? Why do I go through this stuff

  456. on this challenge? Start saying, Lord, I trust you

  457. that you are working through this, this situation, this

  458. difficulty, this challenge. And you know, God, I trust you

  459. that it's all good, that it's all good.

  460. I trust you that God's got this. I trust you, God, that you are

  461. big. You are Lord, you can, you've

  462. got this and it's all good. Come on, just the Bible says all

  463. things are working together for our good.

  464. All things being off, come on, decay that come on, somebody say

  465. all things are working together for my good.

  466. So again, all things are working together for my good.

  467. It's all good. Somebody shout Hallelujah.

  468. Put your eyes together. Yes, God's got this.

  469. That's the glory zone. Now, let me tell you a true

  470. story of the trailer that we've watched that proves this name

  471. was Delia Knox and the gospel singer and the wife of the

  472. pastor. In 1987, she was in a terrible

  473. car accident, left paralysed from the wise dogs.

  474. And so the doctors told that it was permanent, that she would

  475. never walk again. And so for 22 years, Delia left

  476. in a wheelchair. And so no hope from the medical

  477. world. And so the thing that set Delia

  478. apart is she never stopped worshipping.

  479. She never stopped declaring that God is still good.

  480. Even in the difficulty, she never stopped.

  481. She kept on declaring God is still good.

  482. And that is what it means to live in the glory zone.

  483. Not because life is perfect, not because everything is good, but

  484. because God is still worthy. That is your God.

  485. And she said that even if I will never walk again, I will still

  486. praise God. I will still praise God even if

  487. I never, ever walk again. Now, that's somebody who knows

  488. that goodness is not based on circumstances.

  489. Goodness is not based on circulations.

  490. Goodness is not based on what you can see.

  491. Goodness is based on who God is. Hallelujah.

  492. And so then after 22 years, something shifted. 2010, Delia

  493. went to a revival service. At the conference, you received

  494. prayer. The power of God full the room.

  495. And for the first time in two decades, what she has never felt

  496. for two good decades, for the first time, she's feeling her

  497. legs. My God.

  498. And she what? She did something that the

  499. doctors say. Oh, my God, can you still hear

  500. me? Praise God.

  501. OK, well, I'll just swap around you.

  502. This one is the back is still OK.

  503. And so, yes, she is. OK.

  504. I'll just go on to this one. Oh, I'm back on there.

  505. And so she did something what the doctor said was impossible

  506. to do. She stood up, the crowd

  507. surrounded and she then just, she started walking.

  508. She was healed and that miracle has been confirmed by doctors.

  509. Somebody shot Hallelujah. Ah, glory to God.

  510. Millions around the world has watched that video.

  511. It's the display of the goodness of God.

  512. The video went viral. It has been documented as a

  513. miracle. Hallelujah.

  514. Let me put that update for you. For you could see gospel singer

  515. walks again. 22 years with God still heals today.

  516. Come on somebody, put your eyes together for Jesus, my God,

  517. Hallelujah. And so her story is a miracle

  518. testimony that the glory zone is real, that the goodness of God

  519. still heals. God still heals today,

  520. Hallelujah. We serve a miracle looking God.

  521. He's a healing God. He's all we see.

  522. There we go, signs and miners that still heals today, somebody

  523. praise God. Now here's the key.

  524. She trusted that God is still good in and through the pain,

  525. even in the world. She stayed thankful.

  526. Even though life did not make sense, even though she was in

  527. the wheelchair, stuck there, she still stayed thankful and

  528. grateful, turning up, worshipping God.

  529. And here's what I need you to grab hold of the dice.

  530. If God did it for Delia, he can do it for you.

  531. His goodness could raise her up. He glory can raise you too.

  532. If you could do it for her, you could do it for you and for me

  533. today. There is no situation that's too

  534. broken. There is no situation.

  535. There's no nothing too far gone in your life.

  536. There's no there's no diagnosis that's too far gone.

  537. There's no delay that's too long.

  538. When card shows up, everything changes.

  539. Nothing is too difficult for our God.

  540. When God turns up and shows up worth his glory, his goodness,

  541. everything changes. Come out somebody give words on

  542. praise in his house. Hallelujah.

  543. Let me remind you of something Psalm 23, our famous David Psalm

  544. 23. Watch this and this is amazing.

  545. I want you to get this verse 6. Surely, goodness and mercy.

  546. Come on, somebody. So follow me all the days of my

  547. OK, He didn't say. Maybe he didn't say sometimes or

  548. just an easy day. He said surely, surely means

  549. absolutely. OK.

  550. Yeah, with no questions, no hesitation.

  551. Absolutely guaranteed, Guaranteed somebody.

  552. That's what he says. That's what it means.

  553. And then that word follow. When you look in the original

  554. Hebrew word language, that word is not a cancelled word, OK?

  555. It's not a passive word. That word follow means pursue,

  556. chase with intensity. Run after chase doesn't.

  557. That's what God's goodness is doing in your life.

  558. God's goodness is chasing after you.

  559. You're chasing after you. How about somebody?

  560. Imagine driving down the road of life and you've hit potholes,

  561. made some wrong turns, faced detours, delays and you look in

  562. the rearview mirror. What do you see?

  563. Not your past, not your pain. What do you see?

  564. Goodness and mercy follows you. All the Oh my God, goodness and

  565. messy I've been riding on. They've been riding on an art

  566. for every season of your life. Oh my God, Jesus, I've been

  567. followed not by stalker, Oh my God, stalker.

  568. I've been stalked by not by fear.

  569. It's not a fear. Nightmare, that's what.

  570. Listen, it's following me. I don't wake up like, what are

  571. you? I know it's a this and mercy of

  572. God that's following me. She like, my Lord, praise God.

  573. You know, they didn't. They riding along.

  574. They'd be there. So when people gave up, people

  575. left. They stayed.

  576. Yeah. When you stumbled, they covered

  577. you. Yeah.

  578. When you almost quit, they whisper, this is keep on going,

  579. Keep on going. So you may be facing some hard

  580. things, difficult challenges. I'm here to tell you that you

  581. are not alone. Goodness and mercy, they follow.

  582. They right there with you. They are right.

  583. They are following you. Hallelujah.

  584. Somebody goodness and mercy is following me.

  585. Say that Goodness and mercy is following me.

  586. Yeah. Everywhere I go, they go

  587. everywhere, either if it's through the storm or through the

  588. fire or through the valley, the mountain, they they never leave

  589. my side walking in the glory zone.

  590. OK, now let me tell you, when we got the news of the church venue

  591. closing because the cinema was closing, we could have panicked.

  592. We could have been like, oh God, why now?

  593. Why we were, what are we going to do now about?

  594. But now we decided to make a faith decision and say God's got

  595. this, God's got this, and it's all good.

  596. We might have. And let me tell you, God did it.

  597. God opened a brand new space for us.

  598. Somebody shout out Hallelujah. Praise God.

  599. I'm super excited. Next Sunday, don't miss it.

  600. It's going to be glorious. Hallelujah.

  601. And our new venue, God has made a way.

  602. Praise God. Hallelujah.

  603. And So what felt like a set back was really a set up for our next

  604. level. Aha.

  605. Jeez. That's the glory zone.

  606. That's how the glory zone works. OK.

  607. What the enemy meant for harm, God turns it around for our

  608. good. Yes.

  609. Hallelujah. Praise God.

  610. Yeah. I declare you today everything

  611. that was saying to stop you. God is about to use it to launch

  612. you. Hallelujah.

  613. Amen. Yeah, God's about to use it to

  614. launch you. Hallelujah, it's all good.

  615. Somebody, it's all good. It's all good.

  616. It's all good. Say that it's all good.

  617. It's all good. Yeah, God's got this.

  618. Now let's go to Deuteronomy chap tights, because God told Israel.

  619. He said, listen, I'm going to take you into a land that is

  620. flowing with Morgan honey, overflowing streams, vineyards,

  621. blessing upon blessing. But then he gave them this

  622. warning. He says when you are full, when

  623. you are satisfied, when life is good, when you're sovereign

  624. goals increases and multiplies. Don't forget me.

  625. OK, let me just show that to you because that's lectureonomy 8

  626. verse 11. Be careful that you do not

  627. forget the word, you're gone. So in other words, when you have

  628. your breakthrough, when you're holding the baby that you've

  629. been prayed for, OK, When you are, when the door has been

  630. opened, OK. When your marriage is thriving,

  631. when the business is booming, when life is good, when your

  632. name get called and the favour hits you and life is good, don't

  633. forget the law, OK? Do not forget who brought you

  634. here. Do not forget because yes, the

  635. medicine helped, but God is the healer.

  636. Yes, you worked hard, but God gave you the job.

  637. Come on, somebody. OK.

  638. So every time I look around this church, every time I think back

  639. how I make my wife Michelle, every time I see our children,

  640. our boys growing up, I remember the Lord.

  641. It is the Lord I remember. Lord, it was your goodness.

  642. I remember. I know who brought me here.

  643. I know who raised me up and my family.

  644. I know he's got. And so here's my challenge to

  645. you, church. Don't forget what God has done.

  646. Don't forget what God has done in your life.

  647. Because the same God who brought you through the valley is the

  648. same God who's about to take you to the mountaintop.

  649. Come on somebody praise God, Hallelujah.

  650. And that's why we never stop saying thank you, Lord, thank

  651. you God. Now let's go back to one of my

  652. favorite verses. I want to show you something

  653. else there in closing. It says here verse one, OK,

  654. thanks to the Lord for his good, for his mercy.

  655. Endure us forever. Now, there's something powerful

  656. that happens when you live with a grateful heart, when we live

  657. with Thanksgiving in our hearts because gratitude keeps us

  658. aware. You see, remember the glory

  659. radar, gratitude, that's the key that keeps us away, that we are

  660. living in the goodness of God, that we are living in the glory

  661. zone. Gratitude.

  662. That is how you tell God. God, I have not forgotten what

  663. you have done. I have not forgotten where you

  664. have brought me from, Hallelujah.

  665. And so I never want to lose that wonder of thankfulness, of

  666. gratefulness that away awareness.

  667. My prayer to each and everyone of us pray that God creates an

  668. awareness increase our awareness of the things of God more than

  669. the mainstream news, more than what others say.

  670. Let's hear what God is saying. Let's tune into heaven's agenda

  671. more than the circumstances. OK.

  672. And such as as we wrap up today's message, let me leave

  673. you with this simple but life changing word.

  674. Recognize God's goodness in your life.

  675. Make thankfulness a lifestyle, thanking God a lifestyle, not

  676. just when things are going good every day because yetis the more

  677. you thank him, the more you give thanks to God, the more you will

  678. recognize the goodness of God. There is the whole sermon in a

  679. nutshell. The more you thank God, the more

  680. you'll recognize His goodness, the more you'll recognize what

  681. He has done what how good He has been to you and still is.

  682. When you thank Him, it creates that awareness of the goodness

  683. God. And so every day, thank him for

  684. breath in your lungs, thank Him for a roof over your head, thank

  685. Him for food on the table. Thank Him for the job that

  686. you've got. Thank Him in everything.

  687. Give thanks because every little blessing is a reminder that God

  688. is good. Living in the glory zone.

  689. Amen. Come on, let's all statue your

  690. face. Hallelujah, stay to your feet in

  691. the presence of Almighty God. You are made for the glory zone

  692. life filled with his praises and right now in this moment, the

  693. presence of God, the goodness of God.

  694. If you have been running on empty, if you've been feeling

  695. that just felt heavy and dried, I've got good news.

  696. There is more joy and more peace and more presence.

  697. There is more. That's a good news today.

  698. I mean there is more. But listen, OK, it is found in

  699. the glory side, but you have got to step in.

  700. You've got to say like Moses, show me your glory.

  701. You've got to cry out with a heart and say yes, Lord, show me

  702. your goodness. Show me your glory and receive

  703. that. Lord, I want more of you, I want

  704. to know you more. I want to know your heart, I

  705. want your presence. And so right now, that's you.

  706. Raise your hands to heaven. If you need a fresh touch and

  707. you say yes, I want to live in the glory every single day,

  708. raise your hands. This is your moment.

  709. I want to pray for you. Father, we come before you today

  710. with hungry hearts crying. Show us your glory.

  711. Lord, release your presence, your glorious anointing.

  712. We declare this is a glory zone. This is a zone of miracles.

  713. This is a zone of favour. This is a zone of breakthrough

  714. and peace. Lord, every person who's been

  715. walking through dry places, we release glory over their

  716. families. We release glory over marriages,

  717. over homes, glory over finances, over health situations, over

  718. minds, over bodies. Release glory over this church.

  719. God, we step in with pulvers like Moses and we say we want

  720. your presence, we want your praises ball than anything else.

  721. Hallelujah. How many of you are crying out

  722. with me? Oh yes, come on.

  723. I speak over every person on the side of my voice.

  724. You are surrounded by the goodness of God.

  725. You are surrounded as stepping in to the glorious home in Jesus

  726. my name. Come on, if you believe it, open

  740. your life or if you need to a fresh start, a clean slate

  741. today, this is your moment. I want to give you an

  742. opportunity to give your life to Jesus.

  750. are a child of God. Hallelujah.

  751. Let's celebrate. Come on, somebody give God.
