You're Out of Order || Pastor Diego Mesa

We're gonna pray and we're gonna get right into the message today. Father,

thank you for this wonderful opportunity. God, may I decrease so that you

can increase. It's not important that people remember my words, but it's important

that people remember what your words says today because you're the only one that can

touch and change your life. For that, we honor you in Jesus' name.

Amen, Well, how many of you had a good Fourth of July?

How many of you are still repenting over how much you ate on the

fourth of July. Look at somebody next to you and say, you look

like you did good on the fourth. As Pastor Adams said today, we

are going to talk about walking the line. Now, if you're my age,

you remember that song by Johnny Cash And I thought i'd play it,

but I said, I'm going to Only fifty percent of the church would even

know what that song is, So diego, don't be doing that no more.

But we're going to talk a little bit about the decision to all order,

the decision of ordering, allowing order in our lives through a decision that

you and I make. So let's stand on our feet and we're gonna read

an amazing scripture that might be very, very familiar to you. But before

there's a victory, you have to precede order. You can't have victory if

you don't follow the instructions of the order. You'll see what I mean by

this scripture that we're about ready to read. Now, Jericho was strongly fortified

because of the Israelites, no one leaving and no one entering. Then the

Lord said to Joshua, look, I have handed Jericho and its king and

its best soldiers over to you you. Now here becomes the orders. Now

here's the orders. You're gonna get the city. I'm gonna give you the

city. I want to answer your prayers. I want to be you to

have blessings in your life. But you got to follow my orders. Now,

march around the city with all the men of war. Notice he didn't

say women orders circling the city. He didn't say just whatever. He said,

Circle the city one time. Do this six days, have seven prints

carrying the seven rams trumpets in front of the arc. Look at all the

orders. But on the seventh day, march around the city seven times while

the priests blow the rams horn again. Instructions when there is a prolonged blast

of the horn. You will hear it sound and all the troops will give

a mighty shout. Then the city wall will collapse and the troops will advance

each man straight ahead. You may be seated. Every one of us want

our opposition to fall down. Every one of us want to enter in to

what God has promised for us symbolically through the story. But you've got to

realize that these walls were not gonna come down if they didn't follow specific orders

that God get. They couldn't reverse them, they couldn't elite them. They

had to do it exactly the way God asked them to do it. And

that's what we want to talk about today, following the orders that God gives

us in our lives. Are there any military veterans in this place, specifically,

are there any Army veterans in this place? Well, here's what you

need to know. Thank you, Thank you for everyone. In Arlington is

a very famous cemetery and it is run there by the Army, the infiltry

of the Army. There you will find a tomb titled to the Unknown Soldier.

It was built in nineteen twenty one, but it was in nineteen thirty

seven, there was an order or a law that says, twenty four to

seven, seven days a week, whether it is snowing, whether it is

hot, whether it's rainy, or whether it is sonny. A soldier is

to be posted in front of that tomb. And when his duty is done

his shift, another soldier comes to relieve him. And here's what is said

to them. Orders remain unchanged, and he takes his rightful place. I

wonder in the Kingdom of God, how many orders remain unchanged. But society,

culture, the world wants to change the order of God, the order

of family, the order of Godhead, the order of morals, the order

of ethics, the order of integrity, the order of respect. You could

go along all the way across the board. And that's what we want to

talk about today. The order. You know, I'm like you that sometimes

my life could be a little bit unorganized, and sometimes I can't find my

keys, and sometimes we lose important papers. But it gets a little bit

more aggressive. If you don't have order in your life. You can miss

an appointment because you're late all the time. You can miss opportunities because your

life is not in order. You can have unnecessary tiredness, fatigue, frustration,

and worry in your life because your life is not in order. And

when your life is not in order, all these negative consequences as well as

negative emotions happen in our lives. So I think we can all identify with

a life that is out of order. But it's okay. You're in the

right place today if you feel like your life is out of order, We're

going to bring clarity through God's word today of what order should look like.

The Bible says this a very famous verse, the steps of a righteous man

are ordered by the Lord. God has ordered your life when you were in

your mother's womb. God placed an order of your life. Now it may

not be in detail. He didn't say I want you to live in a

house that's painted brown versus a house that painted yallow. And I want you

to drive a forward and not a Chevy. Now you think that's God if

you're a ford man, and you think that's God of your Chevy man.

But God, you have a choice to be made. But God does have

gifts. God does have talents. God has assignments, God has abilities.

There are things that God has ordered for your life to do. The steps

of a good man. But then in one Corinthians fourteen, in verse number

forty, it says, this be sure that everything is done properly and in

order. Do you think he really meant everything? You mean? I can't

eat anything I want? Does that what that ordered me? I can't spend

money however I want. I can't treat people ever I want. I can't

work any way I want to work. Is that included in that? Let

everything be done decently in order? Watch this other translation that kind of brings

it out. But all things must be done appropriately and an orderly manner.

You know, I remember, you know, before we established this church,

I worked. I was a member of another church in Pomona for fifteen years,

and you know the story. I worked for that church for nine years

full time. Then one day I went in and I talked to the leadership

and said, I don't understand it. I was thirty three at the time

and exceptionally loyal and outside of the Catholic Church, that's the only church that

I ever knew, And I said, I really feel like I'm supposed to

be a senior pastor, but I don't even know what that means. And

so I need help. I submit, and they said, well, we'll

pray about it and come back tomorrow and we'll talk about it. Well,

my desk drawer was cleared out, everything was put in a box, and

they said, we prayed about it and we're releasing you. Now go willbey

God. Well prior to that, I said, I don't think it's gonna

be. But for about a year before I ever would do that because I

have a wife and three children, I have a mortgage. I don't know

what how I'm gonna pay my bills. Plus is probably going to take some

time to develop a congregation of some kind. But that's the way they chose

to handle me. But God gave me direction, and he gave me specific

orders on what I was supposed to do in establishing that church as it related

to my former church. So let me tell you what he told me,

and I'm not telling you with an audible voice. He told me through the

conviction of scriptures that led the order scripture will order your life. And when

I prayed I could hear down and hear what I should do, he told

me that he ordered me that I was not to tell my side of the

story to anyone. He ordered me that I was not to recruit one person

from that church to come and join my church. He ordered me that no

matter what they did to me, I was to walk in forgiveness toward them.

He ordered me that when I heard that they were leaving town, he

ordered me and my family, my young kids, to go over and thank

them for the years of service they had sewed into me. You go,

you look at the success of abundant living today and be odd and wild by

it. But if I didn't follow the orders of God, this church would

not be where it's at today. The favor of God follows the order of

God. The blessings of God followed the order of God. The increase of

God follows the order. The anointing of God follows the order of God.

When there's not order, you won't see the favor of God in the situation,

plain and simple. And so those were very very very specific orders that

God had gave me. All for one more order that's important. He told

me that I was not to plant the church Pastor Kinney in Pomona in that

city. So I was in font and that's where he planted the church in

Fontana. It's amazing how many people don't hear the orders of God like that

anymore. But we'll move on. We'll leave that to another subject. Let's

break down some points today about order. Let's break down some points about order

today. Here's the first thing I want to share with you. We are

all grateful and we should appreciate order. Even though sometimes it's an inconvenience and

it's not fun and familiar to us. We should all appreciate order. Let

me give you this story that might be famous to you. It's an Old

Testament story about King David who wants the presence of God or the Ark of

the Covenant. The movie Raiders of the Lost Ark was made after this.

And so this was a piece of box of furniture, and it had Aaron's

rod that budded in there, and Man and the Ten Commandments. It represented

the presence of God or and the Hebrew what we would call the Shakhina glory

of the Lord. His predecessor, Saul, did not care about the Ark

of the Covenant. David wanted the presence of God. So here's how the

story reads. It reads then David said, no one but the Levis may

carry the ark, So regular civilians, any old people cannot touch the ark

could not carry excuse me, because the Lord had chosen. He chose them

to carry the ark of the Lord and minister before him forever orders. David

assembled all Israel at Jerusalem to bring the Ark of the Lord to that he

had prepared. Okay, so then it goes on, what's this for the

Lord our God burst out in anger against us because you Levi's were not with

us the first time, for we did not inquire of him about the proper

procedures or orders. So here we go get a little inside. So evidently

David goes to get the arc, but he failed to do it. So

instead of quitting, instead of giving up, he learns from his failures and

said, I did not accomplish my goals. My marriage isn't blessed, my

health is not blessed, my finance is not blessed, my prayers are not

answered. I'm not gonna quit on God. Evidently I did something wrong.

I'm gonna go to the archives of God's word and find out the specific orders

that God gives on how to carry the arc. And that's what he discovers

the first time. We didn't do it right. Even though my heart was

right. We did not follow orders, and that's why God didn't bless it.

It's not God's fault, it's my fault, he says. Then the

levis carry the ark of God the way Moses had commanded, according to the

word of the Lord on their shoulders and with the poles. They didn't do

that the first time, and they learned the lesson they learn. You know

what, that's not fun, that's not convenient, that's not familiar to them,

but it's to be appreciated. Let me give you an example of what

I mean. How many of you have ever boarded a plane so excited about

going to your destination, you know, And now the plane is on the

tarmac, it's getting ready for the runway to lift off, and all of

a sudden, the captain says, I'm sorry, we're gonna have to return

back to the gate. Evidently there's some complications. How many of you know

that's an inconvenience? How many all of us? Oh? But how many

of you appreciate that? How many of you just want to wing it?

Just go for a pilot. I don't care. I'm taking the chances.

The wing is half fallen off. It's okay, I got some duct tape.

Let me go out there right now. See what I'm trying to tell

you is we appreciate orders. Even though sometimes they challenge us, they're inconvenient,

and they're unfamiliar to us and make us uncomfortable, we appreciate it.

How many of you are grateful that a pilot when he gets into that plane

has to follow orders on how to start that thing. He don't just read

the engine, put planet his foot and take off. There's all kinds of

gauges that, all kinds of checklists, all kinds of things. That's an

inconvenience because we want to get going. We're fast, we're quick, we're

speedy, we want instant success. God says there's an order to be followed.

It's an order to be followed. Here's the second revelation truth I want

to bring out here. God loves order. His kingdom, the whole kingdom

of God, his whole creation, Heaven is run by order. God loves

the beauty of order. In Genesis one one, it says this, in

the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. There was an order.

Then it goes on and it talks about in Genesis about a oh ee,

okay, you want to go here, let's go here. That's good.

So God created, He created the earth in order. So it tells us

if you read your Bible, it says on the first day created light and

day. The second day created clouds and oceans, plants, land and plants,

sun, moon and stars, fish and birds, humans and animals.

Now, why didn't he do it in any old way? Is there a

functional purpose to what God is doing? Absolutely, there is an exact order

to what God is doing all the way up to the day of rest.

And notice this to the left. Every time God created, he said,

and it was good. And then he created on the second day and he

said it is good. And he said the next day it is good.

How many of you were saying it today about good? How many of you

want God's goodness in your life? Then you've got to follow God's order.

What a great definition of what order is. Order brings good into your life.

Not following order brings bad into your life. Order, God's order brings

God's goodness into your life. God followed an order and you and I are

the benefit of it. In Genesis two, so that's creation. Now in

Genesis two, he's going to create an order for mankind, and the Lord

God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden to work in

and watch over. Stop right there. So we see here that God created

man first the order of God. I'm sorry I didn't I'm not the creator.

Don't get mad at me. I'm the messenger. That's I didn't create

the message. He didn't create her in front of him. He didn't create

him from her. He didn't create him. At the equal time, there

is an order because there's a function that God is about ready to expose.

How can I marry this woman and this man doesn't have a job. How

can there be marriage if he doesn't know how to work, if he don't

know how to have any skills, if he had no education. So God's

got to work that all out in him. And I don't know if that

took a million years before she showed up. There's an order. They just

shacking hooking up. He's going to be the male lead, and I got

to teach him what leader ship looks like, and leadership is that he's got

to be a protector and he's got to be a provider. And I've got

to teach him how to do that before I introduce this female counterpart to him

and bring order where now she will follow him because she sees his order.

If he's not order, she ain't gonna follow him. She ain't gonna be

his helpmate unless he does his functional job. She is not gonna be a

blessing to him. What does the world look like today? Out of order?

Out of order, all jacked up, messed up, torah, ghetto,

bodio. I should just leave that and just move on. But when

you get to heaven, if you've accepted you, you're gonna see order up

there. It's not misordered, disorganization, messy clutter. Everything has ordered.

There's the throne room is ordered. Angels are are ready to go to bidding

for God. One particular angels or ministry and spirits sent forth to those that

are errors of salvation. They stand in the throne room of God. There's

other seraphis that worship twenty four to seven. They have order to them.

Gabriel has orders, Michael has orders to be done. There's water in heaven.

There's trees in heaven. There are gates in heaven. There are foundations

in heaven. There's worship in heaven. There's no more sickness, no more

sorrow, no more darkness, no more light, no more devil. There's

order in heaven. Aren't you glad? There's gonna be order in heaven.

It's not gonna look like this world. Salvation has order. You can't be

saved unless Jesus dies and berries and is resurrected. You can't have salvation unless

there's first repentance of a heart, the work of the Holy Spirit, bring

conviction, the eyes of your understanding being open, that I need to be

saved, that someone preaches the Gospel to me. And now Romans ten nine

and ten. If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and

believe in thy heart that God has raised and brother, then now you could

be said, there's an order to salvation. I'm just grateful for order,

and you need to be grateful for order in your life. I love the

order of the military and how they march and how they take orders. I

love an orchestra and how they conduct themselves by taking orders and knowing what to

play, how loud to play, who to follow. I love the orders

of a rowing team that row together and simultaneously. I love order in my

garage. Don't put your head down. Don't be embarrassed. How many of

you like orders in your closet? You could hire somebody or they're called organizers,

and they could do that. We all love order because it represents God.

Why why do something instinctively what instinctively hates disorder? Did somebody teach you

that? No, it's instinctive within you. You hate messiness, dirtiness,

filth, disorganization. You don't like it. Why because it doesn't represent your

father. It's not God. I'm going somewhere now, let's go to three,

because here's the strong one. Where there is no order, you will

see the devil's activities activity, and this will cause confusion, chaos, and

complications. Where there is no order, you have the devil's presence or the

devil's activities that is causing chaos in this world or in our lives. Could

fusion, and it often causes complications. The reality of this of confusion is

unwanted and unknown purpose. I don't know what purpose is. Chaos is that

which is perversion and distortion of God's goodness. And last of all, complications

is just unnecessary and unexplainable difficulties. Some things are explainable, but some things

are not explainable. And how many of you realize you can avoid some hardships

in your life and difficulty just by following orders. But today we live in

a world that's filled with confusion and chaos, and we live in a world

that's filled with complications. So now we'll go back to creation. We'll go

to Genesis one two. I left you off in one. Now the earth

was formless, empty, darkness covered the surface and watering depths, and the

spirit of the Lord was hovering over the surface of the waters. So Apart

says, there's chaos now? Could there be beauty? God created everything?

Then all of a sudden, there's chaos now and confusion and complications because the

devil's presence now has come. Activity has come. I don't have the time

to teach you this. Theologically, between verse one and verse two could have

been millions of years where everything God created was beautiful. Then all of a

sudden, Satan was kicked out of heaven and he fell to this earth,

and he caused chaos. But God came back and he restored. So the

seventh day is God restoring the earth back from its original place. But I'm

trying to give you the picture here. The devil's activity in the devil's presence

brought this level of chaos and confusion and complications. Here we go to mark

now New Testament. The next day, when they went out from Bethany,

he was hungry. Jesus is hungry. Okay. Seen in the distance a

fig tree with leaves. Okay, it goes on. He went to find

out if there was anything on it. That he's just naturally hungry. He

sees the distance of a fig tree. The key thing is it has leaves.

It has leaves, And when he came to it, he found nothing.

Say this with me, nothing saying no thing. He found nothing but

leaves, for it was not the season for fruits. This tree was out

of order. And when you're out of order, you can't produce desired fruit

for Jesus, and you bring disappointment to Jesus. The tree is out of

order. He's giving the appearance that I have fruits, because when there's leaves,

then there's fruit. I have a fig tree. In winter, my

tree will go like sticks. That's what it looks like. Sticks. So

when the leaves start coming, then the fruit is gonna come. It gave

the appearance of something, but in reality it did not have the manifestation of

it. So the tree is confused. The tree is causing complications. The

tree is in chaos because he's not in the right season. But it'd be

like an eighty year old woman who's wearing booty shorts hot pants. Now,

don't get upset with me, because if you came to church that way,

bless you God, bless you for doing me for having the courage to do

that, or even the legs to do that. But how many of you

know that just kind of out of season. If you saw a brother man

in here with polyestro suit down to his belly button, Jerry Curl flowing a

big rack of teeth. Oh brother, come on, you're out of season,

dude, Come on, you're out us at order. You're not going

to produce the fruit that you want. So let's look at it today.

In our world, we have a violation of God's order. And where there's

a violation of God's order, there is the devil's activity to bring confusion,

chaos, and complications. So there's an order to marriage. The master marital

person is here, Paster Kinney. So here's what happens the order of marriage.

My life is together, so that now I am marital material. Step

one. I got a job, I've got a skill. I'm going through

school. I'm preparing for a home. I've been healed of all my exes.

I'm emotionally stable. I shouldn't even be looking until I'm there. Hey,

can you help a brother? Al bantell all your friends about me.

No, you ain't even ready. There's an order to marriage. You're paying

out your alimony, you're praying your child's support. I don't know. Come

on now, okay, Step number two. Okay. Now, now we

go into the mold maybe of dating. Okay, we go into the mode

of dating. Okay. It starts off in a friendship mode. Starts off

with breakfasts. Come on, it ain't no al Green at eleven o'clock at

night. Let's get it on, Marvin Gate. Come on, No,

no, no, no, no, there's order to this thing. You

talk very little, and you listen a lot. Let me spill in your

guts my soul security of nine ninety nine three three three full full on eighteen

hundred and forty five. Come into my house. I want to introduce you

my kid this is Uncle diego right here. Children say hello to Uncle j.

You're crazy. You're out order, chaos, confusion, complications in our

lives. Are you seeing where I'm going with it? Okay? So now

I want to Now I wanna you know. I'm dating. I'm getting serious.

Now, Now we do some evaluations on you. Now we do some

tests on you. Now we do some background history on you. I'm gonna

spend the rest of my life with you. I gotta really really know who

you are. You got a problem with that? Okay, Then you're violating

the order of God. So you go through this testing, testing period kind

of thing. Okay, Then you go through pre marital. You go through

pre marital and let someone else now bring you. You have your closest friends.

What do they say, Do they approve? You? Bring your family

into it? What do your parents say about See, we don't do none

of that. We're gonna violate order. So you get married, and in

that marriage you exchange vows for better or for worse, for richer and poorer

again hopefully new people. It's okay, no condemnation. You're virgin, so

you're gonna experience each other's body for the first time. Free from disease,

free from freaky noess. You're both shy, you're both you know, questionable,

you're both nervous. It's a beautiful thing. Now, man, I'm

the master over you'll come on over here, a woman, I'm gonna teach

you a few look you crazy, No condemnation, don't gil Come on now,

there's an order here. Then if you should, you want, you

get pregnant, you have babies. It's the order. But we violated the

order. Just go to Vegas. No, not even go to Vegas.

Let's just live together. No, no, let's just have let's have a

kid first. Then it's all this, no guilt, no condemnation. But

what happens confusion in that The Bible says, when I was a man,

I thought as a man, I understood as a man. But when I

excuse me, when I was a child, I thought as a child.

I understood as a child. But when I became a man, I put

away childish things. There is an order to manhood. There's an order to

manhood. So you got to work out your childishness, your kiddie ways,

your adolescence, work out your teenage age, work out your young man age.

So that now you could become a man, and then you could become

a husband, and then you could become a father, then you could become

a grandfather. We like skipping things. So you have this kid who's in

this male grown up body because he doesn't follow the order of Now. I

got to teach you responsibilities. I got to teach you expectations. I got

to teach you obligations. And you're able to go through that. You're growing

through that. You're going through it. You're growing through it to become a

man. Now you're ready to lead a family. Now the order, the

order of God, the order of success, whatever success means. I don't

want to offend anyone because I know the difference between success and significance. But

I want to talk about success across the board, whatever it looks like.

So like success in your money, success in your finances, success on your

career and your job. There's not instant. There's an order to success.

Have you developed character? Have you developed integrity? Have you developed faithfulness?

Have you developed servanthood? Have you developed that? No one goes from a

journeyman to a master. No one goes from a veteran to a rookie to

a veteran that just doesn't happen over passe Kinning. You love Star Wars,

don't you. The principal character of Star Wars is a guy named kidnamed Anakin.

Anakin's skills are off the chart. He one day is going to be

a master Jedi. He may even be bigger than a little Yoda, but

he's a padawan and he's got to stay under the submission of a Jedi.

And that Jedi is going to teach that kid how to grow up into manhood.

He's going to teach him from being a rookie to being a veteran,

to live the fulfilling call of God on his life and not be a disappointment.

But Anakin is full of pride and full of arrogance and haughtiness, and

he wants to skip everything and jump everything. And so this wonderful Anakin that

could have been a wonderful master Jedi turns into Darth Vader and brings chaos and

confusion and complication. God knows what he's talking about when he talks about order

in our lives. And you and I have to if we want success,

have to be able to be faithful. You have to be able to finish

things. You have to be able to have family first. You have to

be resilient, you have to have relational skills, you have to have competency.

All these things are a bride product of success in our lives. You

can't skip and you can't bypass. But this world today tells you you could

be instant everything, and it's not true. Look at how many people from

the pulpit to entertainment are fallen by the waistside by flies right now. What

does that tell you? What does that tell you? They violated the order

of God. They didn't have proven faithfulness, character, integrity, ethics,

or whatever God had mandated them, and they violated that. I'm gonna end

with this. Here's my last statement. We're done. God's order in our

life is an expression of our wisdom, witness, and wholeness. When you

and I walk in order, then you're going to walk in an element of

wisdom, proficiency, and efficiency in your life. You're gonna have fruit in

your life. And when you walk in order, people are gonna think you're

wives. A foolish man or woman doesn't walk in order. You will immediately

become the top and the cream. When you walk in order, because you

will walk in an element of insight and wisdom that other people don't have.

You will have witness. People will find you attractive because of the orderliness of

your life. You will bring conviction to people's lives that are out of order.

So your witness becomes great. Now people want to follow you, learn

from you, and so on. And last of all, there's a wholeness

within you. Wholeness means that now you're you're living in peace. You know

what peace means to me. Peace means a drama free life. The drama

for your mama. You know what I'm talking about. So much drama,

so much strive, so much fighting, feuding, division and odds. It's

because your life is out order. Life wasn't meant to be that way.

You got to put some things in the order. So, you know,

I don't know what that looks like, but I have to schedule order.

I have to calendar order. I have to put timelines on order, and

I've got to follow the instructions of order. You know, it's wonderful.

We we love order in the things that we like, but we don't like

to put order in the things that we don't like. So I have money

here. And you know, let me start with are we all of us

have our toys, our collections. For women, their their your shoes.

How many women have shoes that they have them order in order, in color

and in height. Three of them. The rest of you our liars,

and you're gonna grippent. You have your flats, your sandals together, your

color, your stilettos when you want to be sexy. You know, men

got their game shoes on their Jordans and the colorations of everything. You got

your memorabilia together. Garfield's got his golf clubs together. In order. Don't

change my nine iron with my six iron. It's in order. We love

order in our lives. How many of you love order? Most of us

are attracted to order in our cell phones or our devices. We order our

apps, our followers. We like order. I like to just go there,

turn there, watch it, listen or whatever. But we like order

in the things that we like. But we don't like to bring order in

the things that we don't like. So I got money here, and we

don't want to bring order to where I spend this and how much I should

give here and how much I should pay off debt here? I don't want

to do that. I'm just gonna wing it fly by the seat of my

fans. I don't want to bring order here because this is challenging to me.

I don't want to bring order in my diet and how I eat,

if shoot, if I want some of this at eleven o'clock that night,

man, I'm uber eats in it. And now case the colonel, you

can't beat that man, Come on now, so I'm gonna go order mine.

When we need eight hours sleep? Who needs eight hours sleep? Who

needs a good diet in their lives? Who needs exercise? I don't want

no order in my life, so for God forbid, fifty sixty seventy years

old. You know what happens because you have no order in your health.

You have no order in your finances. So seventy years old, you're still

paying off debt. You don't own nothing. I'm not trying to be in

common to nature, trying to talk to you about the results of when we

don't have order in our lives. I end with this story two scriptures I

want to give you, and then I'm in with this story. How many

of you remember that Jesus fed five thousand How did Jesus know there were five

thousand? How many of you this today is a couple thousand? How can

you there was exactly the number was? It didn't say five thousand, five

hundred four, three hundred and twenty four. How did he know that?

Because he sat them in fifties and one hundreds. He's organized? Why because

he's got to make sure every one of you are fed, and he's going

to make sure that you are full, and he's going to make sure that

there are baskets left over. So I organized, God says, to do

ministry. I organize everything. This is not off the seat, my pants

are flight? What by the wait? No, there's because you give free

people, you give food to free, free food to people, and there's

chaos. Man, you know what I'm talking about. Just go to Costco

and just let that lady with that little hat stand down in line. There's

chaos is there ain't gonna be no chaos here. Every one of you going

to get your food now, and you're gonna have more than it. Not,

but sit out in fifties and a hundred. You get that fifty one

out of there and tell him this's gonna start another row. He knew what

he was doing. He knew exactly what he was doing. At when Jesus

was resurrected, there was a burial cloth put on him. When they walked

in and saw the empty tomb, tell me what that buryer, What happened

to that burial cloth? It was folded. Come on, men, learn

something. Men, learn something with your underwear, your t shirts, your

Jesus folded. I almost want to tell you, but I'm gonna just drop

the diamond and say you figure it out. You figure out why Jesus didn't

throw it, but he folded it. That's for another time. You pray

he's a goda order. And now I'll leave it with this when you search

it out. In biblical times, it was symbolic of something the way a

master and a servant operated. And I'll leave it at that for you to

do the revelation. On the fourth of July, I went over to Pastor

Adams. I had bought the day before at Costco. I love my favorite

meat of choice is lamb, so I bought a big old lamb laden.

What I was gonna do was just thinly slice it, throw it on the

barbecue and cook it. But here's what you need to know about me.

I don't know how to barbecue. I'm in the most lousiest barbecue on the

planet. Let me tell you how Diego barbecues things. He cuts it up,

he throws it on there, and then he shuts it, and he

goes in the house and he watches a few some TV, looks at his

phone. He puts on the beans that he's gonna me eat with, or

starts the sweet potatoes, starts the corn. He says, oh, man,

the barbecue, and he runs on over there and he checks on it.

It's a hit and miss for Diego. He never knows what's gonna happen.

Why because I don't have no order to my barbecue. In Pastor Adam

is a master barbecuer. If you ever want that man to make you some

meat, you're he gonna do you good. So I go over and I

say, Pastor Adam, here's Adam, here's my my I don't call Pastor

Adam. I said, Adam, here's here's my LAMB said Dad, where'd

you buy it? What the heck? It doesn't matter where I bought What

do you mean where I bought it? What's that hav anything to do with

it? He says, what do you how do you want it cook?

Do you want it cook medium? Rare? Do you want to cook medium?

Well, no one's ever asked me that, Like at a house,

at a restaurant, they do. He says, well, you know,

we should have been working on this last twenty four hours ago. What do

you men working on twenty What were you going to done twenty four hours ago?

You know what I'm talking about. He stands right over that sucker and

is watching it the whole time. The last three days, I've been eating

the best lamb on the planet because he has an order to how he barbecues.

Life should not be a hit and miss. Guys, Father, I

thank you today for the message. I pray that it resonates in our hearts.

If there's anything that's just simply out of order or misplaced or disorganized,

whether it is our money, whether it's our home, whether it is our

marriage, whether it's our workplace, whether it is our finances, or even

where it's our spiritual life. God put these things back in order so that

we can have amazing peace in our lives. Father in Jesus' name, Amen,

As we get ready to leave this church, thank you iologize that I

was a little bit long today, but thank you for your patience. Please

stay to the end. I believe a pastor Sinos will probably pray us out

today. But here's what you need to know. I shared that there's an

order to tell salvation, order to salvation. Somebody has got to share with

you the gospel. Jesus loves you that he died on the cross for your

greatest sins. God never wanted you to pay the penalty of those sins,

which was go to hell, So he came to this earth to die for

you. And Jesus is the only means of salvation. Why because not just

because of how he died, but because of how he was resurrected. And

there's no other guru philos for a theorist that has ever been resurrected. They

may have died, but their body is still in the ground. And Jesus

came back to tell us proof of that that I'm the only one that could

give life after death. I'm the only one that can guarantee your future because

I went there for you. I've been there from you for you. I

came there for you today. I want you to recognize, do you feel

a level of conviction in your life that you have sin in your life and

that those sins need to be forgiven. That's the order of God. And

you're ready to repent and say, you know what, I don't know how

to do this all. I don't know what I'm doing, but I just

know that Jesus is the one to be my answer the remedy of my sin

today. So I'm a Christian, but I'm not serving the Lord as I

should. And I just want to rededicate my life. I want to recommit

my life to God. God never left me, but I've left him.

When I count to three, you raise your hand today to accept Jesus and

to rededicate your life. It will be the best decision you have ever made.

On this fourth of July weekend of twenty twenty four, one two one

two three, raise your hand wherever you are, all across this auditorium,

say this prayer with to me. Those of you raising your hands or anyone

else, say, dear Lord Jesus, you know everything about me. I

can't fool you, but I feel the need to be forgiven of my sins.

And I recognize that you, Jesus, and you alone can forgive me

of my sins. I now ask you to be my Lord and to be

my savior, and I give you my life, help me to follow you. Amen.
