  1. Hey, welcome to the City Point Church podcast.

  2. Thanks for joining us. Every day is an opportunity to

  3. take hold of. So we hope this message inspires

  4. you and build your faith that it helps you have more of a God

  5. perspective for your day. Enjoy.

  6. Jesus is pretty good, isn't it? Yeah, Name above all names.

  7. I'm wondering, Pastor TJ, where were you when God created the

  8. moon? Can it, Pastor Chris, before you

  9. go, where were you before God created the rainbow?

  10. No idea. Pastor Mel, where were you

  11. before God created the sun? I'm wondering where was the gods

  12. that other people worship? Before God created the four

  13. corners of the universe, where was Lucifer before God breathed

  14. him into existence? You see where I'm going, right?

  15. Who's the name above every name? Jesus.

  16. Come on, Jesus is the name above every name.

  17. There is no wonder why this community is going to come and

  18. bow before the name of Jesus. There is no wonder why every

  19. church is yet and very soon to be full beyond its brims and its

  20. borders. Amen is because His name is the

  21. only name that actually matters. He's the name that gives life to

  22. people, that brings healing to people, that brings restoration

  23. to people, that brings clarity of mind to people, that restores

  24. emotions to people, that saves people's eternity.

  25. And He's the one who created them in the first place.

  26. So if He can create us in the 1st place, he can restore us,

  27. Amen and he can bring His people back to himself.

  28. He's the name above all names and there's a deceiver out there

  29. and he's a deceiver because he is actually a loser.

  30. Already lost, already lost. I'm not trying to play big right

  31. now. He's already lost because Jesus

  32. blood was all powerful and it was what it was.

  33. You know, Jesus going to the cross wasn't the saddest day.

  34. It was the most victorious day. It was the day when where Jesus

  35. declared himself, where he said there is no principality or

  36. power or temptation or ruler. There is nothing above me,

  37. everything is beneath me. And then he went one step

  38. ridiculously forward from there and he said, and all that

  39. believe in me, everything is also under their feet.

  40. Amen. Isn't that insane?

  41. Insane. Or why don't you take your seat?

  42. I'm just going to go nuts, go crazy.

  43. Let's read. I want to I want to preach a

  44. message called the perspective of possibilities.

  45. The perspective of possibilities.

  46. I think it's important that you and I look at rot life

  47. correctly. You know, sometimes we allow

  48. through our perspective, we allow our situations, our

  49. feelings, circumstances, all the things of this world dictate to

  50. us. When they have no authority to

  51. do that, it has no place in our wise except for that what we

  52. give it. But when you and I have a God

  53. perspective, we only then see possibilities.

  54. Let me tell you, God does not look at you and I and see

  55. problems. God looks at us and sees the

  56. possibilities. He sees everything He has

  57. created you to become and be He. He sees the power that is being

  58. infused into your spirit through the Holy Spirit of God.

  59. He sees the washing that has happened, and he sees the

  60. possibility of you becoming everything He originated for you

  61. to become and for you to be a man.

  62. It's only us that doesn't see that.

  63. And so tonight, this message is about a perspective of

  64. possibilities. And in the Holy Scriptures,

  65. Psalms 14, two, it's not up on the screen.

  66. It says the Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of man

  67. to see if there is any who understand, who seek God

  68. powerful, who understand not who just know about, not those who

  69. have heard, but those who understand really who God has

  70. created them to be. Is there any like that in this

  71. place tonight? They might understand this a

  72. little bit, a little bit. Psalms 102 verse 19 up on the

    Psalms 102:19

  73. screen it says for he looked down from the height of his

  74. sanctuary, which I don't even understand or can't even grasp

  75. where that is because he formed the universe.

  76. He looked down from the height of his sanctuary, from heaven.

  77. The Lord viewed the earth. The Lord views our situation,

  78. our circumstance, your life, and the things around you from His

  79. throne in heaven. And when He looks at your world,

  80. He has an invitation for you and I to transfer from an existence

  81. of our human understanding into a reality of truth that is in

  82. his perspective. He gives us an invitation to

  83. transfer the way we look into a new way of looking.

  84. He invites us. It's an invitation empowered

  85. through the Holy Spirit, but it's an invitation really

  86. through the blood of Jesus Christ that we would change our

  87. perspective of our situation, our relationships, our jobs, the

  88. world around us, our schools and our universities, that we would

  89. have a God heavenly perspective when we walk in there every day.

  90. When you get out of that car and go to uni, you ought to get out

  91. and go. What does a child of God see

  92. today? Man, there's a lot of people

  93. here. There's a lot of souls waiting

  94. for you today. God, would you show me which one

  95. you want me to speak to? When you get to your workplace

  96. and you open the car of your Lamborghini and you hop out.

  97. I'm. I'm a cars person.

  98. This is just the way I think. The door.

  99. The car of your Lamborghini. This is a mighty car.

  100. It's a heavenly car. You don't know what a car really

  101. looks like. Yeah, it's a car within a car.

  102. Oh, you don't think there's wheels within wheels?

  103. Anyone read your Bible? Come on, come on.

  104. Wheels within wheels. Anyway, you open the car of the

  105. door of the car and you have the door of that car and you jump

  106. out and you about to approach your workplace.

  107. But before you open the door of the workplace, you look at the

  108. signs, you turn around, you look at the community, all the

  109. traffic. God, you placed me here today.

  110. You placed me in this place. I've got my holy on.

  111. And you open the door and you walk in, right?

  112. I'm here. What do you want me to do, boss?

  113. I can do that and I'll do it so well that you will see God in me

  114. because I'm a man or I'm a woman of excellence.

  115. And when I come to the table, I come to the table with the

  116. Father and with the Son and with the Holy Spirit.

  117. I bring more than my giftings. I bring the gift giver into this

  118. place. You walk in and you go.

  119. I have a message for you. You thought you had a job for

  120. me. Well, I've got a job for you.

  121. Yeah. Has anyone, does anyone follow

  122. Jay Johns? The the Preacher?

  123. Jay Johns. Amazing man of God.

  124. Get your phone out right now. Go to Pod Bean.

  125. Download Jay Johns. You need to watch it.

  126. It's good. He's a good man of God.

  127. But he tells his story of when he's on a plane and he sits in

  128. the plane and it's an awkward situation.

  129. There's a stranger beside him. He's like, hello.

  130. Hello. It's all Orchid.

  131. Oh, what do you do? Oh, I'm a secretary.

  132. Blah, blah, blah. They talk.

  133. Well, what do you do? Wow.

  134. What do I do? Well, I work in an intergalactic

  135. society and I'm one of the children of the owners of this

  136. society. And what The job that I have is

  137. about transforming people's worlds.

  138. I have the ability and the authority and the commissioning

  139. to take someone's life and transform who they are through

  140. the power that has been given to.

  141. And he just goes on because he's got the best job on planet

  142. Earth. Let me tell you, when you have a

  143. God perspective, when you really know who you are, let me tell

  144. you the world around you shifts, the atmosphere, fear shifts

  145. because you are in the room. No wonder why the church prays

  146. and Bribe has the biggest service it's had since its

  147. launch. What it shouldn't surprise us

  148. with the church prayed. What else is going to happen

  149. when the church prays? You know what, what, what do you

  150. expect that when your child is struggling at at school and you

  151. get the family around the table or whatever you do, but with

  152. before you go to bed and you pray with your child that their

  153. whole school life would from that day forward change What?

  154. What else would you expect but that complete change?

  155. Like we are praying to the author and the finisher of all

  156. things. Amen.

  157. We are the head. We're not the tail.

  158. What that means is that when we walk and when we talk, we walk

  159. and we talk like we're the head, like we have all authority.

  160. We have the authority of the galactic universes or whatever

  161. is going on out there. We have it's backing and it's

  162. authority. Because where was I when God

  163. created all things? I was a twinkle in his eye.

  164. And when he formed me, he said, and it's all yours, son.

  165. And I say thank you, father, I'm going to use it.

  166. Amen. I'm going to spend my life,

  167. You're going to spend your life working out the best ways to use

  168. everything that God has given you.

  169. Let me tell you, you have a mission on your life.

  170. There is no greater call. There is no greater

  171. commissioning, whether you're at uni, whether you're at home,

  172. whether you're in the middle of an argument, whether you're

  173. looking in the mirror and you're thinking, where is my hair?

  174. Where's it gone? No matter your situation, that

  175. just that's just me. No matter your situation, when

  176. you walk out of that room, when you get up in the morning, when

  177. you pray, when you think, when you make your coffee, you have

  178. the greatest call on planet Earth in the universe.

  179. There is no greater mission to be part of.

  180. And let me tell you something, it's not God's mission.

  181. It's yours and it's mine. Amen.

  182. We are Co missionaries with the author and the finisher of all

  183. things. Anyway, that was the first one.

  184. So God looks down at us and he sees possibility.

  185. Could you imagine seeing what God sees?

  186. Like I love, I love worship. I love worship.

  187. When I'm struggling to worship, I always go to the same picture

  188. and I just imagine Jesus on the right hand of the throne.

  189. And I imagine that throne, and I can't even see who's on it

  190. because of the glory of the Lord, the splendor of God.

  191. And I see Jesus just shimmering through the glory of God.

  192. And then I just look around and I just see millions and billions

  193. of Saints, like a sea of Saints. And I have a problem every time

  194. I'm in worship and I get this imagery.

  195. I don't know whether I should be kneeling, whether I should be

  196. standing and rejoicing or kneeling and worshipping, or if

  197. both are the same and I just don't know what I am to do.

  198. But I'm overwhelmed with the goodness and the glory of the

  199. Lord the the heavenly perspective to be able to see as

  200. God sees you know Jesus. We we know that the Bible

  201. teaches us because doubting Thomas in the Bible, you know,

  202. when Jesus rose from the dead. The news went around to all of

  203. the disciples. I'm going to see if I can drink

  204. as loud as you this morning, Rach, what an amazing word this

  205. morning. Wasn't it fantastic?

  206. And what was I saying Nothing important.

  207. All right, doubting Thomas. So Jesus rose from the dead.

  208. The news went around and people heard before the the disciples

  209. and and they heard that Jesus was walking the streets.

  210. And Thomas said, you know, if I see the holes in his hand and in

  211. his feet and in his side, then I'll believe.

  212. And then Jesus walks through a wall.

  213. What do you do in that situation?

  214. Right, so Jesus walks through the wall and and shows Thomas

  215. the holes in his hands. And so we know that then, you

  216. know, later in Scripture, it tells us that Jesus in bodily

  217. form ascended into heaven and, and everyone there wasn't just

  218. the disciples that they like, lots of people saw him ascend

  219. into heaven. It's actually documented and and

  220. so he ascended into heaven. So we know that he is there on

  221. the right hand of the Father right now.

  222. And sometimes in that imagery, it's as though we view Jesus

  223. like pouring out his blood or something.

  224. It's in some forms of suffering, even though he's in the glory of

  225. God. But let me tell you that God,

  226. that Jesus is in heaven and before he can even see you and I

  227. on planet earth, he's looking through billions of people that

  228. have been redeemed because of his sacrifice.

  229. Does this make sense? Let me tell you, it's all good

  230. news. It's all good news from the

  231. birth. Christmas just around the

  232. corner. I can't wait till Christmas

  233. message is going to say good until I just love the Christmas

  234. Today so many people give their lives to God.

  235. It's just what a celebration. But from the birth it's good

  236. news. To the cross it was good news,

  237. to his resurrection it was good news and to his coming again.

  238. Let me tell you, this is all good news.

  239. This is all good news for you and I.

  240. To have a God perspective is to have a perspective of

  241. possibilities. And if you're struggling with

  242. that, the prayer is, is God. Would you, would you give me a

  243. new way of seeing? Would you give me a new vision

  244. of life? Would you give me God eyes so I

  245. can see possibilities and not just issues and problems?

  246. The enemy wants the church to be more focused on our problems

  247. than on the victor. But God has come to set you free

  248. and free indeed. Amen.

  249. What that means is freedom number one.

  250. Salvation. Freedom number 2 is your daily

  251. walk in Christ. I am free indeed.

  252. I am free from this indiction, indeed.

  253. I am free from this mindset indeed.

  254. I am free from this mind battle indeed.

  255. I am free from this weakness indeed.

  256. I am free from apathy indeed. I am free from a lack of vision

  257. for my life, indeed. Amen.

  258. So this is what it is to be really free.

  259. You can only have that freedom in Jesus.

  260. It's, it's his. He's the author of it.

  261. He is freedom. You don't get that freedom

  262. anywhere else. We've already established so

  263. easily tonight, just so easily that God is that our God.

  264. Jesus is Lord of all, right? So we've already established

  265. that. That means He is the only answer

  266. for the freedom that we could possibly be seeking.

  267. Does that make sense? It's really simple, isn't it?

  268. Takes all complication out. God sees not just what has been

  269. or what is, but what is possible.

  270. When we look at ourselves or others, we see what they have

  271. done or what they are doing. But God sees the possibilities

  272. of who we can become and where we are going.

  273. Does this make sense? It's flipped.

  274. We see past and present. God sees the possible present

  275. and future. Does that make sense to have

  276. eyes like God? There's a story in the I love

  277. this story. This is a good story.

  278. I want to keep it to myself. Actually, just close this up.

  279. OK, another story. Let's talk about Moses Phineas.

  280. Can everyone say Phineas? There's a story in the Bible, in

  281. the book of Numbers, about a man named Phineas.

  282. Phineas has got eyes to stop a curse that was about to come

  283. over the Jewish people. Israel was about to answer the

  284. promised land after 40 years in the desert.

  285. Has anyone felt like you've been dealing with the same thing for

  286. 40 years? If that's the case, you need a

  287. bit of a Phineas spirit in you tonight.

  288. Zimri. Everyone says Zimri.

  289. Who comes up with these names? One of the leaders of the tribe

  290. of Simeon laid with a non Jewish girl, Cosby.

  291. Cosby. I didn't.

  292. I didn't. I haven't heard Cosby since I

  293. was very, very young watching that TV program.

  294. Yeah. Anyway, just keep moving.

  295. OK. So Zimray laid with a non Jew, a

  296. Jewish girl, a non Jewish girl, Cosby.

  297. Imagine the names of their children.

  298. It was one of the Midianite King's daughters at the entrance

  299. of the Tabernacle. OK so basically God told the

  300. Israelites not to have relations with non Jewish people because

  301. it would because it's there. That was sinful nations and the

  302. Jews are God's chosen people, but the Jews got to such a place

  303. after 40 years of wondering, and we get this to this place as

  304. well, where you even wonder, is God actually here with me?

  305. I'm 45 years God old God, where? Where have you been for the last

  306. 40 years? We've seen miracles for that

  307. person. We've seen you, your glory, the

  308. glory of God on a a mountain. And we've we've seen their face,

  309. you know, reconfigured because of the glory of God and the

  310. presence of God. We've seen water coming out of

  311. rocks. But God, what have you done for

  312. me? This tells me that seeing it in

  313. someone else's life is not enough for me.

  314. And I'm sure you might agree with that.

  315. It's great that we have miracle services and we see undeniable

  316. miracles. But what has God done for me?

  317. And the enemy loves this state of mind because it's the state

  318. of mind that has thrown away the possibilities of a God who's

  319. does makes all things new. And you no longer have a

  320. possibility perspective of what could God do with us if we just

  321. stayed the course? You no longer have that

  322. perspective, but you have a now perspective.

  323. What has God done for me now? I feel like this now this has

  324. happened to me. Where is God right now?

  325. Well, let me tell you, if God removed himself, you would know.

  326. Read the book of Genesis. He holds the world in his hands.

  327. He is the one that separates the land from the sea.

  328. He does that. He still does that by the way.

  329. He is the one that holds darkness back.

  330. Read the book of Job. He holds darkness back from your

  331. life. This is what we call mercy, the

  332. mercy of God. He is holding darkness back so

  333. that I can sort stuff out. He's doing that for us.

  334. Before you're a believer, before you're a Christian, He is even

  335. surrounding you, man, you can get real deep in theology on

  336. this, but he is surrounding people.

  337. That's why they're hearing this message may be here tonight.

  338. And you don't know Jesus and you're wondering where is he?

  339. Well, he's all around you right now.

  340. He's protecting you because there is a devourer out there.

  341. He has no real authority except for what he's given to him.

  342. And we declared before that where was he before God made

  343. him. But he is a devourer.

  344. He's just there, ready to go, being held back, ready to go to

  345. devour our lives. Where is God?

  346. He is everywhere for you. Our very breath is God's grace,

  347. sustaining love, our very breath.

  348. Well, why doesn't He just take me then?

  349. I've had enough. Because He still sees

  350. possibilities for you see, when he, when he formed you and me,

  351. he formed us with an immense abundance of possibilities.

  352. And the deeper we get into him, the more layers we RIP off.

  353. It's like the giant just comes out.

  354. I feel like I need to go to the gym right now.

  355. The more you press, the more the giant comes out.

  356. Anyway, another story for another day.

  357. So here we had an Israelite lane with a non Jewish woman right at

  358. in the tent where all the elders of Israel were is a mockery.

  359. A complete mockery. Phineas.

  360. I could just imagine it. Cups.

  361. They used to have cups of tea. I could imagine the camp of the

  362. elders sitting around on a box because they used to make boxes.

  363. And anyway, this is my imagination.

  364. I'm just sharing a little bit of the enemy.

  365. And so here's Phineas. He's all the elders of Israel.

  366. They're all way holy. Phineas have his cup of tea.

  367. You thought this was the UK thing?

  368. This is the Israelite thing. And so here's Phineas having his

  369. cup of tea, herds a little, here's a little hustle in the

  370. tent just over there. And he stands up and he says,

  371. how dare you in the House of the Lord, grabs his spear.

  372. And the Bible says straight through both of them.

  373. Now you might go, well, that's a bit nasty.

  374. It was actually a legal right for him to do that in those

  375. days, because back in those days the statutes of the Lord were

  376. supreme. A wonder in our lives of the

  377. things of the Lord Supreme. Would you be prepared to get a

  378. Phineas spirit inside of you to pick up a spear tonight and ram

  379. it through a few things in your life?

  380. Well, that doesn't line up with the Word of God.

  381. Who cares about my cup of tea? Well, that addiction, where did

  382. that even come from? I can't even remember when that

  383. was formed, but Oh well, would we get a bit of a Phineas spirit

  384. in US tonight and say, As for me in my house, it's that's an

  385. interesting, interesting. I love what Pastor Mel brought

  386. out about this a month or so ago, a few weeks ago.

  387. But As for me in my house, this is my house.

  388. Welcome to my house. He's he's Graham again.

  389. And over here I have my Christmas tree room.

  390. Over here I have my musicianship room.

  391. I love it, love it, love it. Over here is my cup of tea room.

  392. And this is my my full front room.

  393. What everyone sees of me, we don't say, As for me in my

  394. house, we will serve the Lord. And so everyone looks at me like

  395. I'm serving and I'm doing a good job, but I'm not prepared to put

  396. a spear through my idol music worship and playing bass or

  397. whatever it might be. Cars.

  398. I'm just trying to show you Graham's world, right?

  399. We're all prepared to put a spear through the cup of tea

  400. room. What's with that anyway?

  401. But you might not be prepared to put a spear through Christmas

  402. tree room. Do you see what I'm saying?

  403. When we are prepared to declare As for me in my house, we what

  404. we are really saying is this door, it's opened.

  405. It's free for the Lord to access this door.

  406. It's open, free for the Lord to access this door of my life.

  407. It's Oh, OK. Yeah, Rachel preached about that

  408. room. But I I do have a Phineas spirit

  409. inside of me. You know what?

  410. I'm just going to do it. I'm in good mind right now.

  411. I'm going to open that and I walk away.

  412. Just say God just gently with me and he goes, the doors open, let

  413. me in. Amen.

  414. Amen. So what do your eyes normally

  415. see? We can see people's faults and

  416. sins, our own faults and sins, or have God eyes to see the

  417. possibilities like Phineas. To have God eyes is to see what

  418. is happening now and to have a perspective of possibility for

  419. your future. Albert Einstein Mazie man, time

  420. is relative. It's only worth depends upon

  421. what we do as it's passing. If we have eyes of judgement, I

  422. argue we are devaluing the time given to us.

  423. You can quote that. Put pasta Gray underneath.

  424. To have a heavenly perspective of life requires placing value

  425. upon our God-given time. Let me tell you if you really

  426. grass hold. This is why Mel and I are we

  427. have no qualms at all about things like finances, asking the

  428. church to give. You're not given to us.

  429. We don't we don't benefit at all from it.

  430. But what we We have no qualms asking.

  431. We give, so we do it too. We have no qualms asking people

  432. to serve at all. We have no issue at all asking

  433. people to go a bit above and beyond.

  434. No issue at all. We look after people so they

  435. don't burn out, but we've got no problems asking.

  436. When you really grab a hold that we are part of the greatest

  437. mission, you can't afford to allow a second go by without

  438. intentionality upon it. You can't afford to live another

  439. 10 years without open the Christmas tree door.

  440. We just can't afford that. Your life is too precious.

  441. You are too precious. God values you so much, He said.

  442. I need you to fulfill, to help me fulfill the mission.

  443. Isn't that amazing? I love that Jesus left.

  444. Because it shows to us how much he cares because he left,

  445. because he is like, I can't do this on my own.

  446. I'm in one place at any time. Holy Spirit, go and use my

  447. people. They're all over planet Earth.

  448. When, when they say yes to you, Holy Spirit, this unity, we will

  449. flood planet Earth with the transformative power of God.

  450. We will flood our our community with the your streets man, what

  451. we did on Friday. So pal, who enjoyed that?

  452. I really enjoyed that. There's a man mowing his lawn

  453. and I'm like out with a bottle. Please don't call the police.

  454. And then it started raining. So I'm under a tree.

  455. God, just give me fire. Literally I was like, God, I

  456. need 5 minutes to do that street and then to run home.

  457. But anyway, God didn't give me the 5 minutes.

  458. And I was thinking about that. It was like God's like what?

  459. Do you not know what you're praying for or, or what you know

  460. you want 5 minutes now? But before you wanted me to rain

  461. the heavens down like I'm sorry. So anyway, I was under a tree

  462. for about 4 minutes and I'm like, you know what, just

  463. embrace it Grey. So I did, I got a bit of Phineas

  464. about me. So time is too precious.

  465. Precious to be spent on the problems, the lack, the hurt,

  466. the shame, the sin, the waiting. Let me tell you, all those

  467. things need to be dealt with, they need to be worked through,

  468. they need to be healed in our lives.

  469. But we need to get to it because time is you.

  470. You are just too precious. Phineas saw these things.

  471. But Phineas had focus on the promise and the possibilities.

  472. The psalmist in Psalms 102 said, Oh my God, do not take me away

  473. in the midst of my days. Your years are throughout all

  474. generations of old. You laid the foundation of the

  475. earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

  476. They will perish, but you will endure.

  477. Yes, they will all grow old, like a garment, like a cloak.

  478. You will change them and they will be changed, but you are the

  479. same and your years will have no ends.

  480. What we do with our years has an eternal effect on other people.

  481. Amen. I have two lollies on platform

  482. 1's a backup. If you look at this, if you look

  483. at this right, it's just your faith is outstanding.

  484. If you look at this lolly as your world, your whole life,

  485. your existence of around 90 years, if you're my dad, you've

  486. got 10 more. The writing on the packet of the

  487. things you focus your life on, there is writing on.

  488. I know you can't see it, but this, this packet has writing

  489. all around it. The writing on the packet are

  490. the things that we often focus on.

  491. It says here my hurts. That past event.

  492. You remember Grey, That's what it says.

  493. It's crazy. It's like a sentence.

  494. It has a person's name, but I won't say that person because

  495. I'm struggling with that. It has some words that were

  496. spoken over me when I was a kid, things that happened.

  497. There's some good stuff here. I had a victory when I was about

  498. 20 years old. It was nice.

  499. I won the lottery once, spent it all 15 Mustangs don't really go

  500. any faster. There's this other one, love,

  501. it, turned out fake. We wrap ourselves up with these

  502. types of things, our hurts, our shames, but we think we're OK

  503. because we have some wins along the way.

  504. But they're earthly winnings. They're not satisfying wins.

  505. They're just like, of course you won the lottery.

  506. You've been doing it for 30 years.

  507. You've got to win at some point, right?

  508. But you spent the more than what you won.

  509. So it's, it's, it's life. It's life satisfaction, things

  510. that don't endure. That's what how we look at our

  511. lives. We look at the wrapping and we

  512. read. We read our scripts.

  513. We play these over in our minds. Soon as someone bit of road rage

  514. happens on the way to work, our perspective changes.

  515. No longer possibilities, but what?

  516. What's not possible? We just reread the real.

  517. We let her flick around again. But if we throw our lives for a

  518. moment on the floor, we now have a God perspective.

  519. Those defining moments that you focus your whole earthly life

  520. on, they're still there. They're still there, but now

  521. there's so much more in the scheme of life.

  522. There is family, there's existence, there's purpose,

  523. there's possibilities, there's there's so much more in the

  524. scheme of life. But I'm still wrapped.

  525. But really, if we could have a God perspective, we would see so

  526. much we we generally focus our lives on the words on the

  527. rapper. Yet there is so much more to

  528. obtain if we could let go and allow God because He sees us

  529. truly and He sees our possibilities.

  530. But sometimes we just need to pick our lives up for a moment.

  531. Unwrap it. God has this amazing ability

  532. that when he looks at you and I, he doesn't look at us through

  533. the wrapper. He looks at us through the

  534. blood. What does he see?

  535. He sees a clean slate every morning.

  536. Every morning. You thought, oh bad Christian, I

  537. sinned yesterday. Every morning, a new beginning

  538. for you. It's all right.

  539. I got knocked down. I'm up.

  540. New beginning. I'm here to do it again.

  541. I lost the vision for a moment. It's all right.

  542. I'm up. Thank you God for your grace.

  543. But I'm I've got a new beginning every day.

  544. It's a blank canvas. You know what that means?

  545. You can rewrite your story. And when you have Jesus with you

  546. and you see yourself as God sees you, you start writing a new

  547. story. You start wrapping yourself not

  548. only with possibilities, but fulfilled fulfillment of what

  549. God has done in you and through you.

  550. You start putting some of that on there.

  551. Start looking at yourself every day before you walk in that door

  552. through these. Oh well God, I'm really nervous

  553. today. Bit scared or this happened and

  554. that happened. But I remember yesterday when

  555. you came through for me. I remember when I spoke to that

  556. person on the street and they actually said, yes, I would like

  557. to know Jesus. I remember, you see?

  558. See how the rappers starting to change?

  559. The possibilities of your life are now endless because you now

  560. see you as the Father sees you. Amen.

  561. I don't want to chew it with the bite.

  562. To see as God sees is to see the possibilities.

  563. Michael. Big name says.

  564. How do you say that? Elsler?

  565. I think that's it. Elsler.

  566. The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the

  567. pilot. Ouch.

  568. I think that's awesome. I'm the pilot.

  569. You know what? You can change direction here

  570. tonight. There's no one else dictating to

  571. your life. You actually do have the

  572. authority over your life. You have free will over your

  573. life. You have say over your life.

  574. You have power over your life. You have authority over your

  575. life. And when you line that up with

  576. Jesus Christ, nothing is impossible for you because of

  577. God in you. Amen.

  578. You are the pilot. Let's change the direction, God

  579. of possibility of love, that when God looks at our lives as

  580. Christians, he sees us as victors.

  581. He sees us as spiritual giant. Any spiritual giants in the

  582. place tonight, He sees you as a spiritual giant.

  583. He sees the fruit of his Son's redemption.

  584. I love that everything His Son did, He sees it fulfilled in you

  585. and I. He sees forgiven.

  586. He sees a child of the Lord God Almighty and He sees you washed

  587. clean. This is because He sees us with

  588. the pure eternal blood of Jesus Christ that shed on the cross

  589. that was and is and is to come. His blood is washing all the

  590. time and will always wash us until the return of Jesus.

  591. And I'll just finish with this. Romans 47 says blessed are those

  592. who lawless deeds are forgiven and whose sins are covered.

  593. Lift your hand if your sins are covered in this place here

  594. tonight, Amen. Isn't that?

  595. Isn't that reason to lift up the name of Jesus to declare him?

  596. And you know what? You've listened to this great

  597. message. And maybe you're not in the same

  598. same way of thinking as some of us might be here tonight.

  599. You might be like Pastor Gray. I'm hearing your words, but my

  600. world is so saturated with sin. Is my, my thinking, my mind.

  601. It feels like it's cloudy. I feel like I'm troubled all the

  602. time. I can't even think straight.

  603. I can't even think of who I could be in my future.

  604. My life is all about getting through my day or my week.

  605. Maybe you're looking at the end of 2025 and you're like, thank

  606. you God, bring it faster. And just to get through life is

  607. a is a serious thing. Let me tell you, we've declared

  608. tonight the one who clears the vision.

  609. Why? Because He made it in the first

  610. time in first place. He is the one that can give you

  611. the back that possibility of what life could be for you.

  612. He is the one that will break the power of everything that

  613. clouds your mind. He is the one that has the power

  614. to break judgement from others and self judgement as well.

  615. He is a redeeming God and wants to redeem you tonight.

  616. And if you've never given your life to Jesus, you have to run

  617. to Him tonight. There is no other way.

  618. There is no other God. There is no other situation.

  619. There is no other message, there is no post.

  620. There is nothing out there that is greater than the invitation

  621. that I am sending here tonight. Because the invitation I am

  622. sending tonight is the one is to the one who was there before all

  623. things. And he looks down from his

  624. throne in heaven actually does. I'm not talking fairy tale.

  625. The evidence is all around. The Book of Job tells us.

  626. That's where I just got my sayings tonight from.

  627. Where were you when the rainbow was from?

  628. Where were you when the planets were put in place?

  629. Where were you when the universe was made?

  630. Where were you when the waters were separated from the land?

  631. It's all from the Book of Job. And in the book of Job, it just

  632. shows that God is the author and the finisher and that everything

  633. in our life is worth surrendering to him because God

  634. then restore Job. It's a great story to read, and

  635. God wants to restore your life here tonight.
