Everlasting Divine Affection and Its Transformative Power

When God heals you, when God blesses you financially, when God opens a door for you,

when God gives you a promotion in your job, He's not doing it, let me just do a little favor,

but you get on my nerves, but let me do it. God is not like that. God is saying, He's not like

your parents say, you don't really deserve this, but here. No, God is saying, you deserve it,

you're a king, you're a queen, you're all of that. My beloved son, my beloved daughter,

here you go. Welcome to the City Light Church podcast. Thanks for joining us today.

As we look into God's Word and discover the hope and truth that He has for us.

If you want to connect with City Light Church, feel free to visit us at citylightnyc.com,

that's citylightnyc.com. Pastor Boyan Jansik and his team believe that the power of the

Holy Spirit is already working in our hearts and minds. As you listen to today's teaching,

remember that you are deeply loved by God, that you are surrounded by His grace,

and that He has a real hope and a future for you.

Amen. Thank you, Pastor Bo.

Oh, like Bo. All right. What's going on here?

Anyway, praise God. Thank you, Pastor Boyan, for this great invitation. I know it was

the last minute because of what happened. Thank you to my pastor, Pastor Patrick,

for you know, just stepping in and doing what he had to do to cover for me. And so we're excited.

Amen. We had a great service, last service. We're going to have a great service, this service,

amen. The annoyance is already flowing to the first service. So we're good.

You said, I'll be able to show flow. What rivers of living water? That is rivers flowing from me

to you is rivers flowing from your spirit into the atmosphere. Amen. Hallelujah. We're in this

beautiful divine exchange in the presence of God. I want to honor the First Lady of the House,

Emily, Jessica, and the great Pastor James. Amen. Isn't he so cool? He just saw I was sitting

there and I was thinking, I got to tell him, he has this great finesse about him. Just smooth,

amazing, amazing, amazing. You know, he makes Pastor Boyan look good.

Praise God. I have visiting with us one of my pastors, Pastor Samantha, you're going to give her a

hand. She wasn't planning to come, but we just, I said, I want you to come and she just said,

yeah, I thought I could come. So she came so we're glad to have her here too. So we're going to

get right into the message again. It's going to be the same message from last week. I mean,

from from the first service and it's entitled, he will never stop. Somebody say God will never stop.

So Pastor James is going to go around and I want you to help me some audience participation.

I want four of you, I'm going to start, it'll be five of us, to tell me something that you will

never stop doing. And I told the last service, they were laughing, that I will never stop eating white

castles. Now I eat healthy, I try, but that spread of white castles come back on me and I have to

get some, I just had some of the other day. And I found out that I didn't know this for so long

that I can get extra onions and extra pickles. So I definitely love white castles. All right. I need

four other people to raise your hand. Something that you will never stop doing. Keep it clean. Thank you.

Come on.

Making people laugh. Ah, like that. That's good. Must be a professional comedian. I love it.

All right. Three more people. Something you will never stop doing. Never stop giving and helping people.

Amen. Come on. Helping people in need. I love that.

Two more. Come on, y'all. What is participation? Something you will never stop doing.

Yeah, we have that person and any one more.

I will never stop praying for those that are not saved in my family and in the church.

Praise God. Come on. Prayer for the salvation.

Of the unsaved. Thank you, Jesus. And there's one more right there.

Never stop inspiring others. I will never stop inspiring others. Thank you, guys. Give them a hand.

I thought some of y'all were young. There's a deep church. I thought somebody would say,

I will never stop watching power. I will never stop, you know, going to, you know, never mind.

I guess I'm the only one who has a little carnality in my life.

He was like, what's power? Never mind. Don't worry about it.

The TV show has started. Christian shouldn't be watching.

But I like a little gangster stuff.

Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah.

All right. So the, we're taking notes. So the first thing I want you to write down is

that he, turn about the father, will never stop loving you.

God is excited and serious about loving you. He is love. The Bible says, God is love.

And so love is his, his, his, his assets. And so he cannot help but love you.

Amen. Go with me to Jeremiah 31 verse three is coming up on the screen.

And it says, the Lord has a pair of old to me saying, yes, I have loved you

with an everlasting love. Therefore with love and kindness, I have drawn you. Now other

translations will say, the Lord has appeared a far or has appeared in the distance, you know,

and people are the, the translation trying to figure out is looking about from long ago,

or from eternity past or from just at a distance, I believe it means at a distance based on

the context. And if you go back to Jeremiah 30, I didn't go that deep into it. This passage

will make a lot of sense to you. The background is that Israel is in captivity in the, in the

Babylonian empire and, you know, for their sins, you know, going after other gods, all that kind

of stuff, things that they did over and over again. And so they're in bondage, they're in slavery,

they're not really happy about what's going on going on. Matter of fact, in one of the scriptures

in Jeremiah 30, the chapter right before, he says, do men give birth to babies? Tell them

about men, the male. And the answer is obviously no. So he says, why are you bowed over like a woman

who is giving birth to a baby? Because the people were in agony. They were, they were just so upset

about the condition they were in. And God is like, yeah, you're in that condition because of what

you did. But guess what? I'm not going to destroy you like the other nations. I've destroyed

completely. I'm going to redeem you. I'm going to restore you. You're nothing going to punish,

but I'm going to help you. But then after he says all the stuff he's going to do to restore them

and to bring them back, he said, I'm going to restore you back to your lands and I give to your

fathers, all this stuff. He says, let me tell you why I'm doing it. I love you. You disappointed me,

you hurt me, you went after other gods. And you can see these gods have done nothing for you,

but I'm bringing you back. I'm restoring you because I love you. I'm forgiving you because I love

you. Amen. The Lord's love is steadfast. The Lord's love will never end. The Lord's love goes on

and on. And it doesn't matter what condition you're in. It doesn't matter where you're at in life,

whether you're at the top, you're at the bottom, you're in between. The Father loves you.

Jesus was talking to a very religious man, Nicodemus, who came to him at the night. I call it

Nick at night. They came through because he had to keep his social status up. But I didn't

talk to you just about some things. And he talked to him about being born again. He was about one

thing. He said, we know that your teacher sent from God because of the miracles what you do.

And then Jesus switched this object to talk about being born again. He says, I'm an old man,

how can I be born again? I'm going back in my mother's womb. He says, how are you one of the leaders

of Israel? And you don't know this concept. And then he talked about being born of the world of

the spirit. And then he said, you know, then he said, make this statement. Now people put this on

plaques and you see them on TV. But you know, understand this scripture that we quote that we've

memorized in Sunday school or if you went to Sunday school is really a statement in a conversation.

So Jesus is talking back and forth with Nicodemus. And he's talking about the born again experience.

And then he says, this is the basis of it for. I mean, this is why I'm saying God so loved the world

that he gave his only begotten son, that who ever believes in him should not perish but have ever

lasting life. He's actually telling this to a religious leader who's an old man. He said, God

loves the whole world. He loves the Jewish nation. But really, you want to really know the whole

picture. He loves the entire world. So he sent me. One trailer says, his one and only son.

There's no more. I'm it. And then in verse 17, which people don't memorize, he did not send his son

into the world to condemn the world, but the world through him might be saved. The religious leaders

of Israel at that time did not understand this. They understood Lord God. They understood judgment.

They understood the Messiah is coming to restore Israel right to his great place. He says, guys,

let me tell you what this is really about love. God, the father loves you, but not only you, Israel,

he loves the whole world. And I'm here to save the whole world. Even if disciples didn't understand

that, even after his death, remember the vision Peter had of the unclean animals as

Raskin and he says, not so Lord. He said, I've never done that. So now you have somebody telling

the Lord, no, what he said, do it because they were caught into their religious tradition.

And now, guys, I have a new covenant in place. He says, what I've called

clean, you don't call it unclean. What I've called blessed, you don't call common no more.

Peter, this is for the whole world. Amen. And one of the things you want to do in your life,

as Pastor James said, you want to bring people on Sunday for Easter,

not just so you can say, I fulfilled my duties to bring somebody. No, with the understanding

that God loves the whole world. God loves my neighbor. God loves my coworker to get some of

nerves. God loves my boss that I don't like. God loves everybody. Amen. But as you progress

at the believer, you have to take a personal and recognize that the father loves me. Daddy, thank

you for your love. You should wake up saying that. Thank you for your love. Thank you that you

care about me. Thank you that you're deeply passionate about me. Amen. Because he is. And he says,

it's an everlasting love. Therefore, with loving kindness, I've drawn you. Yeah. You and I,

Israel, we're at a distance, but my loving kindness is going to draw you in. My love, my warmth,

my compassion is going to draw us back together again. So that distance that's there is going to be

closed. The good news in the new covenant, we don't have distance with God. We're near to him by

the blood of Jesus. Amen. But sometimes things in life will make us feel like we're far from God.

But you have to create in your conscience in your mind that no, I'm not far from God. I'm very

near to my father and God does love me with an everlasting love. He cares about me. The Bible says,

cast your care on the look of what he cares for you. Praise God. There's somebody you have an

problem in your neck right here. Just turn your neck and maybe some stiffness. Jesus healing you

right now. Amen. Praise the Lord. Raise your hand if that's you. And to the Lord is healing you

now of your neck. That's you. Yeah. I see your hand. Amen. Can you praise God for that? Thank you,

Jesus. That's you too. Praise God. Just raise your hand. Turn that neck. You're healed and

Jesus his name. One of the things I told the Lord years ago, I said, you know, when I was to see

people flow and it gets to the spirit. I said, I like when you interrupt the preaching and give

words of knowledge. So I said, I want you to do that with me. And it was just I prayed that he

does that with me. Amen. I don't want to go into the end of the service. Do it in the middle.

And he does asking you show what? Receive, right? Amen. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. It's going to be

more healing. You may feel heat to come on your body in Jesus' name. I feel God wants to heal

backs. And if you have a bad problem, God's going to heal you in Jesus' name because he loves you.

Amen. No more somebody. All right. Let's go now down to Psalm 89 33. This is from the NLT version.

And this is a statement by Ethan the Ezra height about David. This is the song that he wrote.

And it says, but I will never stop loving him nor fail to keep my promises to him. That whole

song is about God's faithfulness to David. It's really powerful. I love one scripture that says,

my covenant, I will not break no all to the words that's going out of my lips. That's how that's

how crazy faithful God is. Amen. But this is about David. Now we know that David messed up a lot.

Am I right? You know, he was a great guy. He was the one who killed Goliath, the little

ruddy, good looking kid, you know, you know, protecting the sheep and all that stuff. And then God

pushed him to the forefront and he became this great warrior. And then he's anointed to be the next

king, but he doesn't get into that right away. And he's, you know, what's that word when somebody's

going to run? He's a fugitive. He's a fugitive. And he's running from the crazy man, Saul.

Saul was crazy. Read the story. It's really bizarre. But anyway, he finally becomes king. And so

he's doing great things with Israel and doing great things for the kingdom. And but then he gets

comfortable. And he's standing on his rooftop and he looks over and he sees a woman,

Bathsheba. It's not like he didn't know who she was. This is the wife of his captain, the one

who's leading his military excursions. And he calls for her and he has sex with her and he

commits adultery. And he, um, then when the husband comes back, he finds out that she's pregnant.

She comes and says I'm pregnant. He brings the husband and said, Hey, go sleep with your wife.

Man, have a good time. He's like, No, I'm not doing that. Nobody's having a good time right now.

And so this conquest is over. They was like, man, what I want to do. And so he says, Hey,

I want to put you to the front line. The king said you want to the front line going to the front

line. But everybody knows the front line means death. So he sent up his murder. He does die.

And then the prophet comes to him and says, Bro, you messed up. We said, I'm going to tell you a story.

So it doesn't the story about a man, a rich man who had all this stuff and a poor person who had

only one little sheep. And he says, and the rich man took that one sheep from that poor man.

And he said, Oh, who's this guy? And he wanted to frame down vengeance. And the prophet said,

Oh, it's you. David said, Oh, close out. His conscience smokes him.

And he cries and cries. And the Lord through the prophet says, I'm not going to kill you.

I should kill you, but I'm not going to kill you. I'm paraphrasing. There's the more rich

johnson version. But I'm going to put away your sin. But the sword will never leave your home.

There's a judgment on your family now. But I'm going to put away your sin. And then the new

covenant, God has put away our sin. The Bible says that he has taken away our sin. Remember,

John the Baptist said, behold, the lemma God who takes away this another world from the book of

Hebrews. Paul says that our sins have been put away also. And there's a difference. Okay. And so

David's sin was put away. You've done wrong. But I'm going to put away your sin. I'm going to leave

you in the throne and let you be king. And then I'm going to tell the whole world that your man

after my own heart doing all of my well. And the reason why I'm doing this is because I love you.

The reason why you are here today, those some of you have done wrong, some of you done some

real bad stuff. Granny. But he's still calling you saying holy righteousness and

of God in Christ Jesus. And he hasn't ripped you from the kingdom. He hasn't exposed you because

love covers a multitude of sins. And he gives you the grace to stand because he loves you.

And his love will never stop. It will never stop. Is that a license to do wrong? No.

You should let that love purify you and cause you to live righteously before him.

So I said, God loves me. Say the father loves me. Somebody say he loves me deeply.

Somebody say he loves me intimately. Somebody say he loves me forever. This love is very real y'all.

Paul said, I am persuaded that nothing will separate me from the love of God. And he

gave a whole list of things. So there's nothing you have done. Nothing that's happening in life.

Some people have problems and say, oh, I thought God loves me. God loves you. Go to him with your

problems and he'll get rid of the problem with you. And for you, amen. Cast your kids to put a

look at what he cares for you. He watches over you. Now some of you, you have what I call daddy

issues. You have a good relationship with your dad. And you think God, the father is like your dad.

He's not. He is tender. He is loving. He is kind. One day, the Lord said to me, he's a Maurice

talking about the body of Christ. Many people in the body of Christ in my church do not know

how kind I am. And he had me teach on kindness that God is kind. Now, I never really related to

that kind of thing when I first was a believer, you know, I'm this young Christian. I want to hear

about power, dominion, success, prosperity. God is going to kill his enemies. God is going to, you

know, casting out demons, speaking in tongues, holy ghost power and fire running around with dancing.

I want to hear about all this kindness stuff. But then that wave of grace came through the body of

Christ. And I began to pick up on the fact that God is kind. I never even understood what David

meant when he said, your loving kindness is better than life. I said, what does that mean? That sounds

weird. Sounds very girly. That's something women say. Oh, you're loving. I don't want to, I'm a man.

I want to say all that. But we get a revelation of grace and God's love. You realize this is the

revelation that God is love. Amen. We were created because God is love. Love always has to have an

object to love. Amen. Praise you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. That's one of our cause. Jesus, the sun

of his love, his dear son, and that love the father has towards Jesus, he has towards us.

Is that a good news? That's what the Bible says. You've been made accepted in the beloved.

Notice in that particular verse, Ephesians 1 6, he didn't say you've been accepted in Christ. He

said you've been accepted in the beloved. He's trying to pull, trying to bring on a point that

Jesus is the beloved son of God and because you're in him, you're just as beloved. Is that

hard to believe? Is it hard to believe that God the father loves you just as much as he loves Jesus?

It's worth an eye, I'm trying to hear that. Receive it. Say God the father loves me just as much

as he loves Jesus. If you don't believe me, read John 17. It's in his prayer.

Come on somebody. You're dealing with a welcome Bible here.

God loves you. Number two, write this down. He will never stop forgiving you and cleansing you

from all your sin. David said, blessed is the man who is forgiven. You are blessed because you are

forgiven. You are in the state of forgiveness. Ephesians 1 says that in him, we have redemption

even the forgiveness of sins. You have it. Colossians says that he's wiped your entire slate clean

and you are a forgiven person. You are forgiven saint. You stand before the presence of God

forgiving. However, there are things we do. Paul talks about the filthiness of the flesh and of

the spirit so you can put some dirt on you. But we have first John 1 9. If we confess our sins,

he is what? Faithful and just. Faithful what? Faithful to his love. Faithful to us to forgive us

and what cleans us from all and right. Everybody ever sinned and you went to the Father and you said,

God, I did it and you felt that cleansing power over your soul. Anybody ever been there?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been there. I've been there many times.

Those angels are like, man, he's working for John 1 9. My Lord. He's like, he sure is.

But every time I'm getting the forgiveness, I'm getting the cleansing. Amen. And I stand confident in

his presence. So I say, thank you, Jesus. First John 1 says, the blood of his son cleanses us from

all sin. It's a continual flow. And let me tell you something. I didn't say this in the last

service. God, the Father is not afraid of your sin. Sometimes the whole of his preacher is like,

oh, you know, oh, it has to help. You know, God is afraid of sin. God is not afraid of sin.

He despises sin, but he despises you. He's not afraid of sin and he will keep forgiving you

until you stop sending. That's how faithful he is. He's not like human beings. Look, I've had enough.

God is never going to tell you I've had enough. He's going to tell you to stop. We're going to

tell you I'm here to love you, to have mercy upon you, and to forgive you, and to strengthen you

so you can walk this straight and narrow way. Isn't that good news? So never run from God.

Always run to him if you make a mistake. Amen. If we sin, we have an advocate with the Father,

Jesus Christ, the righteous. Isn't that good news? Jesus in heaven saying, Father, look at my

blood. I did it for them. I did it for them. The blood of Jesus on the mercy seat. That's a very

deep thing. We don't have time to go into that, but basically God is looking at that mercy seat,

the place where he wants to show mercy, and he's seen that blood and he's saying they're forgiven.

They're forgiven. They're forgiven every day. God is forgiving people. Hallelujah.

Because he's a forgiver. The Bible says, bless the Lord, O my soul, who forgives all of my

equities. That's one of the benefits of being the kingdom. He forgives all of them. Well,

I really messed up. You know, I don't make a difference with it is, but I just make a difference.

God saw it. God knew before you did it. The Bible says that Jesus was a lamb slain from the

foundation of the world. Before he even created Adam and Eve, before he even said, let there be light.

God said, let me make provision because I know they're going to sin. I don't want them to,

but I know they're going to. So let me make provision. Nothing takes God by surprise, even your sin.

And the Bible says he's ready to forgive you. Look at this next scripture. Psalm 86.5 for you,

Lord, are good. Somebody say he's good and ready to forgive and abundant in mercy to all those who

call upon you. Ready to forgive. You're ready to forgive because I know you're going to do wrong.

I don't want you to do wrong, but I know you got, but I'm ready to forgive. And the Bible,

another lexicon says he's forgiving. That's actually what it means, forgiving, that Hebrew word.

So you can read it this way. For you, Lord, are good and forgiving and abundant in mercy to all

those who call upon you. Somebody say abundant in mercy. He has a lot of mercy to give you,

but you want you have to do. Ask for it. Jesus said in Matthew 6, the Father knows what you have

need of, but you have to ask him. And if you need forgiveness, if you need mercy, say, Lord,

have mercy on me. One of my pastors, the one who's preaching today, told his son, you know, this guy,

he's, he's, uh, principal from Surrely on, he's six something. He's a bodybuilder and he's no

punk, but he told his son, I don't want you to fight. And he's going to teach him how to fight,

but I still don't want you to fight. He said, because when I got saved, I didn't fight anymore.

And you don't have to fight. So he said, if somebody approaches you, the first thing I want you to do

is say, Lord, have mercy. He told me that lesson. I didn't know this. So guess what happened? His son

was in a situation. He's like 10 years, always 11 now, but he was 10. His situation where some young

lady wanted to fight him. She's ready to go. And he could handle himself, but he didn't want to fight.

Like his dad taught him. And he said, Lord, have mercy. And the girl literally turned her attention

to someone else and didn't fight him. That's the power of God. That's the power of God.

Teach your children in your situation. You need help. Say, Lord, have mercy. Amen.

No one has to be afraid of anything. Amen. Praise the Lord. I even tell the woman in my church,

you don't you dare be afraid of being violated by somebody. You plead the blood of Jesus over

yourself. And somebody tries to approach you, say the blood of Jesus against you. And if you

spread through, start speaking to tongues, they're going to run. Amen. Amen. They will run.

You're like, all right, I'm done. But you cry and say, Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

Nothing gives you a negative report. Oh, you got stage 4 cancer. Lord, have mercy on this body.

And they go to believe God for your healing. Whatever it is, Lord, have mercy. Amen.

Jesus, we thank you. He's having his mercy is over this congregation right now. His hand of

mercy is over you right now. Blessing you, healing you, fixing things for you. Number 3,

he will never stop hearing you and helping you. So I say, he hears me and he helps me.

7 Corinthians 6, 1 to 2, and IV version. And God's co-workers, as God's co-workers, we urge you

not to receive God's grace in vain, the word grace means favor. For he says, so the reason why

you don't receive the grace in the vein, the reason why you receive all that God has to you.

Don't neglect the promises. Don't neglect the covenant. Don't neglect what God wants to do in your

life through his grace, through his favor. And the reason why you don't do that because if you do,

then what he did for you will be in vain. Put us with this way. Paul says this, now some of our

brothers, evangelical brothers, will say, no, no, no, nothing about spiritual riches is not. You read

the context, especially the people who love context. Some Corinthians 8 and 9 says, for I know the grace,

the what? The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake,

he became poor, that youth through his poverty might become rich. Now I can work that verse,

but I've got time right now. Now where rich comes from, the Greek were Pluto,

when we get to where Pluto cried, one who rules by their wealth. Jesus died so you can rule by your

wealth. He said, I've been anointed to preach the gospel to the poor. What's the good news to the poor?

You're going to still be on welfare? No, there's going to be poor no more. Hallelujah.

The point of a bread line and a food line, it's not to have the food line forever for the same people.

For people to be lifted up and then the next crew that need me help, we help you, but lift you up.

But if you don't believe in prosperity, what Jesus did on the cross in that area is in vain in your life.

So you receive the forgiveness of sins, you receive healing, but are receiving the prosperity part.

So that's receiving the grace of God in vain.

Amen. Receive everything. Hallelujah. He says, because he says, in time of my favor, I heard you,

and in the days of salvation, I helped you. He's quoting Isaiah. And then he says, I tell you now

is the time of God's favor. Now is the day of salvation. Somebody say now. So I say now.

So God is hearing you what? He's helping you win. He's hearing you win. He's helping you win.

Somebody shout now. Yes. Don't have to double deceive you and put your help into the future.

Or put your help in the back. Oh, yeah, remember that time when I prayed and God said, okay,

that's wonderful. What is God doing for you now? What are you believing now? Don't rob your present

looking for the future. Don't rob your present thinking about the past. What are you believing right now?

How is God helping you now? What are you praying about right now? He's a right now God.

Somebody say, he's a right now God. You can even high five and say right now. Hallelujah.

Don't let the devil make you think your prayers are unworthy. No, I feel my help coming on. Hey.

Your prayers are not unworthy. Heaven stands in the attention. As soon as they father in the name of Jesus.

All the heavens listening. Oh, but I pray it has to happen. Keep praying.

Because Jesus said ask and you shall receive. Seek and you will find. Not in the door will be open.

Is Jesus a liar? I don't think he is. I gave you the color one. Let's see what happens.

Matthew 7. I just quoted to you. Then Jesus emphasized it again by saying in verse 8 of Matthew 7,

everyone who asks receives to him who seeks. He finds and to him who knocks the door will be open.

He's giving you a guarantee in prayer. Oh, but okay, I don't care about what happened with so and so.

I don't care what happened the other time. The Bible says he will hear you and he will what? Help you.

Call upon me and I will what? Answer you and show you great and mighty things. You do not know.

Things you not experienced before I can do and will do for you if you believe.

Come on somebody. Hallelujah. It's time to believe God for big things. Don't think small because God is not small.

Don't believe small because God is not small. God is a big God. He wants to hear you. He wants to help you

and he wants to do big things in your life. Thank you, Jesus.

Remember when Jesus, now I don't know what's going on because I'm totally off script.

Hey. Remember when Jesus went to the wedding of Galilee.

Can't have Galilee. They told you something. Jesus was social. So you can be deep and be social.

Go to weddings. Oh, I don't go to weddings. I'm fasting and praying. Please stop.

If the son of God went to a wedding, you better go to a wedding.

Amen. The right one. But it's not going there. Let me behave.

I can see boy and now. Maurice do not go there. But because he know I will. But anyway,

I said it for my church. He went to the wedding. I can't help gambling. I guess the audience knows

what I'm thinking. But they went to the wedding. Can't have Galilee. And they ran out of wine.

That's a whole nother thing. Sorry, sorry, A.O.G. It was real wine. It wasn't grape juice.

But anyway, his mother said, he ran out of wine. He said, mom.

The Bible says woman, but he's really saying mom wasn't doing with me. My eye was not yet come.

She basically ignores him. He said, okay, I can see at this moment, I can't control

the manifestation of the spirit. But the other understanding, the why did she go to him?

She must have been used to seeing him constantly providing for people, constantly fixing things,

constantly helping people out, or she would have gone to him.

So guess what? Her expectation was so high when he even said, mom, my time is not yet.

It doesn't do with me. She went to the servants, the attendance, and said whatever he tells you,

do it. Now, why was she said that when he just said, it's not my business. And my time is not yet come.

In her mind, in her heart, your time is coming. You want to do something about this.

You know how mothers are? Borsy.

And guess what happened? Jesus did do something. The spirit did move. Her expectation

activated something. And the Bible says, they says, these water pots filled with water.

They did. They obeyed him. So now take some out, draw and give it to the master of the feast.

They did. And he said, you saved the best wine to last. Jesus gives the best.

Jesus gives the best. He has heard you, and he's going to help you.

Now watch this. The Bible is not for people getting drunk, but the Bible says,

and preachers don't like to preach this, but it's in the Bible. When they were well drunk in,

is it in the book? Come on. I know this man knows the word. When they were well drunk in,

he still made more wine. Because the Lord is serious about hearing and helping his people.

And people in general. So don't stop praying. Don't stop asking. The devil will love for you too.

Just start thanking more. And you're going to see more manifestation of the thing you've been asking for.

Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah.

Number four, we're skipping some things. He will never stop making life good for you.

And I didn't catch the time again. So he could please let me know. All right.

Jeremiah 3240.

And I'll see version again. I will make an everlasting covenant with them. I will never stop.

Somebody say never stop doing good for them. Whoa, we can go home on that.

I will never stop. Now this is the Old Testament scripture, but it's the Old Testament scripture

that's in the prophetic part of salvation. I will never, so it applies to us. I will never stop

doing good for them. I will, and actually you need to read the next verse where you get a chance

because God talks about how excited he is about doing good for you. When God does good for you,

he's not doing it reluctantly. When God heals you, when God blesses you financially,

when God opens a door for you, when God gives you a promotion of your job, he's not doing it.

Oh, let me just do a little favor. You get on my nerves, but let me do it.

God is not like that. God is saying, he's not like your parents say, you don't really deserve this,

but here. No, God is saying you deserve it. You're a king. You're a queen. You're all of that.

My beloved son. My beloved daughter. Here you go. Now how do you know scripture?

And God is like that is attitude. I'm going to give you James again. Now James is a tough book.

Am I right? Anybody read the book of James? He's tough. He says, cleanse your hands. You said this.

I'm going to say, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm a saint in Christ, bro. But he understood God's favor

in grace and God's goodness, because he's the one who says every good and every perfect gift comes

down for the father of light, right? But there's something very interesting that he says in James 1

that people miss. If anyone lacks wisdom, ever focus on if you've fallen down,

count it all joy, because their trouble mind it. But if anyone lacks wisdom,

let them ask of God. They don't stop there. Who gives to all men what?

Liberally or generously. What do you say? All men. He's a generous God.

Hey, I said, I'm going to teach James. Get ready. Get ready. Get ready.

Hey, hey, and here's the part that people don't teach and does, and I'm quoting the King James,

because I memorized it, and a braids not a braids not. You know what that means? He does not

solch you with abusive words of the past. He doesn't mind you of how wrong you are or the wrong

you did and why you don't deserve his wisdom. God doesn't do that.

So he's never saying, I'm going to do this for you, but I really don't want to do it. He's like,

I'm happy to do it, son. I'm happy to do it, daughter. That's what the father is saying to you.

That's why the devil doesn't want you to pray. That's why the devil doesn't want you to believe

that God wants you to have the things that you desire. Let me give you another scripture.

This Lord is going in this direction. Jesus says, if you're being evil,

now we're not evil, but that audience was. We're born again.

If you're being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children. Oh my God. You being a sinner,

you being a human being, know how to give good gifts to your children and your children get on your

nerves. How much more? Somebody say, how much more? Oh, we didn't do a circle. How much more?

How much more will your heavenly father give good things to those who ask him?

Come on.

But it goes deeper.

Now I'm in the flow. So you're really going to tell me, okay, you got 10 more minutes.

Now I'll preach for an hour, 20 minutes. It goes deeper. He said,

if your kid asks you for bread, would you give him a stone, if I remember that?

And he said, if he asks you, what's the other thing? Fish. Would you give him a serpent?

Now do you know why Jesus said that? Does anybody know why Jesus said that? Anything allergic up in here?

All right, I'm the only one. All right. I like to play around sometimes.

Jesus said that. If you stood it out, in that time, there were stones that looked like bread.

They were flat. They were white. They were fish,

serpents that can curl up in a certain way and look like a fish.

So Jesus said several things. One, God will never give you anything that's going to hurt you.

Two, he's not going to give you something that looks like what you asked for. He's going to give you what you asked for.

That's how much he's hearing you and what? Helping you.

When Jesus said, Lazarus, to him, he said, Father, I thank you that you have what?

He heard me. Someone doing it for their sake. I don't really need to say that because I know you're

at me. And then he said, Lazarus, come forth. That's the four days of being dead. You have now.

Because Jesus knew I am a son of the living God who has been heard. If you start believing that God

is really hearing you, you're going to see some miraculous things in your life. If you start believing

that God is seriously about helping you, you're going to see some dynamic breakthroughs in your life.

Not next year, not 10 years from now, right now. So I say right now, this year, expect God to hear you

and to help you. Hallelujah. He's a good God who loves his people. Thank you, Jesus.

And he made your life good. For David, he made life good for Joseph. Remember, Joseph, when he

went through, God turned that whole thing around and made life good for him. And we're in the

generation. We're in the age of grace. Well, God will turn everything around and make things good for

you. That's why we say all things that work together for your what? Good. Because you love God and

you're called according to his purpose. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow you what? Some days of

your life, some days of your life, a few days of your life on your birthday, on Christmas, all the

God is on the Christmas God. Sometimes we take our life concepts and we put it on God. You see

into the word to remind to renew your mind. He's not a Christmas God. What does that mean? He's

not waiting for a special day to bless you. Every day is a day of receiving. So I say today is my

receiving day. Today, I receive the help I need, the love I need, the breakthrough I need, the

money I need. So I say today, Hallelujah. You need healing in your body, receive today.

Thank you, Jesus. You are understanding today. Hallelujah. Don't put it off today.

You guys are receiving joy today. Amen.

Another time to go into all the people in the Bible that God made life good for them.

If you study it, he may live good for everybody. He'll make life good for you.

So I say he's making life good for me right now. The Lord is my shepherd not going to be one day.

He makes me right now, light down the green patches. He leads me beside the still waters. He

restores my soul. He leads me the path of righteousness for his name's sake. If you study it out,

where righteousness really should be translated prosperity or victory in the context of the

Psalm and the Hebrew word. If you study the word out, go to your general coordinates. It says,

it says righteousness, prosperity, victory. The Hebrew mind considered righteousness, prosperity.

Read Psalm 112, you understand what I'm talking about. And post that, we'll Psalm 112,

and so Corinthians 9, he'll increase the fruits of your righteousness. I can increase the fruits of

our righteousness. We're talking about money. He's about righteousness because the Hebrew mind

righteousness also meant prosperity. So really, the better translation would be he leads in the

path of prosperity for his name's sake. His reputation is on the line. Yadah walked to the

valley of Shadow Death. I will fear no evil for you are with me. You're riding your staff.

They want comfort me. God wants to bring you comfort. You repair a what table before me the

presence of my what enemies. You're not my head with oil. My cut what runs over. Then he says

surely goodness and mercy. So follow me. All these in my life and I will dwell in the house of

Lord forever. God is good. And he's making life good for you. Amen. Somebody shout hallelujah.

In the last point, point number five, he will never stop healing you. Acts 1038 and we're done.

And we're going to have people stand up and get healed. How God I know any Jews of Nazareth with

the Holy Spirit and with power is power in this place who went about doing good and healing all

who are pressed by the devil for God was with him. Somebody say God is with me.

And God was with Jesus and he healed people all the time the description that says and he healed

them all. That's about the people right there showing God's will. I want to heal everybody.

There's a scripture that talks about how he was among some religious leaders who were like

hating on him. But the Bible says the power of the Lord was present to heal them so they didn't

get healed. So something can be present for you and you not receive it. Amen. And so the healing

power of God is always present to heal you. Now it's wonderful to get healed in church. Words

of knowledge, gifts of healing, parsley hands on you. Somebody legs hands on you. Beautiful.

But you can receive healing on your bed. You can receive healing in your kitchen. You can

receive healing in your bathroom. The power of the Lord is present everywhere. Look at those

plugged your faith into it. I received my healing. Amen. Hallelujah. There's a leopard who said to

Jesus, came running to him and said, if you're willing, you can make me clean. He said, listen,

bro, I'm about to kill that concept. I'm not only able. I'm always willing. I am willing

be cleansed. He stretched his hand forth and about to immediately the leprosy left him.

God is the God of the immediate response. Even if your manifestations are immediate,

he has heard you right now. If in the Old Testament, he heard Daniel of the new covenant,

he's heard you. Remember the angel came 21 days later and he said, from the day you prayed,

the Father heard you. I've come because of your words. God is healing you now. If you're sick in

your body, stand to your feet. We're not going to have a healing line. You're sick in your body,

stand to your feet. There's a lot of you. If you're sick in your body, not everybody,

just if you're sick of a disease of a pain, put your hand on that place where the pain or the

sickness is. You may feel some warmth. Hallelujah. And say this with me, Father, in the name of Jesus,

I thank you for the healing andointing. I thank you for healing grace. And in the name of Jesus,

I take authority over this sickness, over this disease, over this pain, and I command you

to go now in Jesus' name. I release the healing power of God into my own body. And I say thank you,

Father, for the healing andointing, for your healing grace. By the stripes of Jesus, I'm healed

in Jesus' name. Go ahead and lift your hands and praise God for your healing. Hallelujah.

Some of you should already see a change. Wave your hand if you feel something different in your body.

Wave your hand. I see that one hand. Anybody else? I see another hand. I see that other hand. Praise God.

Anybody else? Something different in your body. I see that hand. Okay. Praise God. Hallelujah. I see that hand,

too. If you can have been down, been down. If you can have moved your knee or your leg or some other

kind of pain, it's going now in Jesus' name. He's a healer. Hallelujah. And he loves you.

There's one more thing I'm going to do and we're done. If you are in this place and you're not

born again, you are with the Bible cause and unbeliever, but you don't have to leave this place and

unbeliever. You can leave here a believer in the Lord Jesus, because you say, oh, I believe in

Jesus. No, it's about a believer, someone who receives him as savior. There's a heaven to gain

and a hell to shun. I know this culture says they know hell. It is there. And the Bible says that if

you don't receive Jesus, that's where you go. But if you want to turn that around, it's easy

because Jesus did all the work. And say, pastor, raise that to me. I don't want to go to hell.

I want to relish you with God. I want to live for Jesus. I want my name written in the book of

life. If that's you raise your hand high and we're going to pray with you and you're going to be

born again. Raise your hand high. Does anyone in here? I say that one hand. Anybody else? I am not

saved. I don't know Jesus. I'm not born again, but I want to be born again. I want to be saved.

I want a life with Christ. If that's you raise your hand high and we are going to pray with you

if we receive Jesus. Amen. All right, sir. Stand up. Praise the Lord. Come forward real quick.

Praise God. Come on. Are you going to give this man a hand? Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus.

You're right here. Praise God. Anybody else want to come? Go in once, go in twice.

One more call. If that's you, I want to be saved, pastor. I want to give my life to Jesus.

Hallelujah. Praise God. This is all the call was for you, sir. You're about to change your eternal

destiny. God loves you. He cares about you and you're about to write your ticket to heaven.

Bow your head and say this with me. Lord Jesus, I'm a sinner, but I don't want to be a sinner no more.

I believe that you died for my sins and God raised you from the dead. You are alive today.

You are Lord. I have to come into my heart and be my savior and be my Lord in the name of the Lord

Jesus. I've just been born again. Amen. Hallelujah. Come on, Michelle.

This is the most important thing that happened today. This man just went from death to life.

hallelujah. Great.

because he goes to the battle about his seat.

He goes back to his seat and fell on the cart,

and then they'll get to you and tell you what to do next, okay?

Can I give you a hug?

Welcome to the family of God.

Praise God.

City Light, thank you.
