The Glory of God (feat. Richard Pedley)

As I was standing there, the Lord again gave me a word for

this ministry, and the word is greater greats and higher

heights, greater greats and higher heights and church.

It's not just for the leadership of this church, Walatna.

It's for every single one of you here because those who are part

of Maranatha Family Church, you're all unique, you're all

different, yes, but God wants to use you.

God wants to use you to be part of the revival which is now for

the future in Jesus name. God wants to get.

God wants to use you to reach the unreached and touch the

untouched with the glory of God. Amen.

Hallelujah. Whoa, Jesus.

You know, brothers and sisters, the truth is, and I want you all

to do this every day. Every day when you wake up, you

go to a mirror. OK.

Mirror. Glass.

Yeah. You know what that is?

Mirror. I don't know what it is in

Tibuano. You look in the mirror.

Yeah, you do this, please. It's a good exercise.

It's a positive affirmation. And you look in the mirror and

say this is the greatest day I ever lived.

Amen. Can you all do that?

Please? Don't forget because you're

speaking to the devil and he hates the truth of what you are

now and what you are going to become in Jesus name.

And you know why? It's the greatest day you ever

lived. Today and tomorrow and the next

day and the next day and the next day.

Do you not know why? It's because Jesus is living and

reigning in your heart all those who are born again, Amen.

That's why it's the greatest day, Amen.

Amen. We need to be transformed by the

renewing of our minds daily, and we need to show the world out

there that it's so great and fun to be a Christian.

Amen, Amen. Amen, Hallelujah.

You know, as I was saying, hundreds came to Christ in mid

Saya, Catholics, Muslims. It was such a blessing to be

part of revival there. And what day are we today,

Sunday. Saturday.

No, Friday. Sorry.

We had a pack clip. That's my wife's family.

You met my wife last time. Yeah.

Grace. Yeah.

It was a pack clip reunion. There were hundreds of pack

clips up in the mountain in Davao.

And towards the end of the evening, I noticed this man.

He had a walking stick. He was walking very, very, you

know, fragilely. And I tried to ask him but he

couldn't talk. So I asked his wife and I said

what is wrong with your husband? She said he had a stroke.

Divine appointment. I didn't waste it.

I said I'm going to pray and I pray for this man.

He used to be a pastor, but now he was in his 80s and the glory

of God touched this man. And after I prayed, I gently led

him forward very carefully with someone else, and he started to

walk easier and easier and easier.

All praise, glory and honour belongs to Yahweh.

Come on, come on. I believe the Lord, that moment

touched him powerfully. Sometimes healing is

instantaneous, other times it's gradual.

And this man received gradual impartation of the healing power

of God. Amen.

Amen. And let's pray.

I can't remember his name. So many names I meet.

I cannot remember people's names.

But I believe the Lord is already at work and he will be

walking normally. Amen.

We've got to believe it because what does the Bible say?

Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God.

And if you have faith of as small as a mustard seed, you

shall move mountains. Church, we are all capable of

being used by God, Amen. We have the same Holy Spirit

that fell on Jesus like a dove when he came up out of the

waters. When John the Baptist baptized

him, the dove fell on Jesus and at that moment power came upon

him. We can do the works of Jesus.

Amen. Do you believe it?

Church? Amen.

Hallelujah. Right this morning, in fact, my

subject is very prophetic for the way the Holy Spirit was

moving this morning, My subject this morning is the glory of

God, and the glory of God is already in the house.

I feel it. I feel it so strongly and I pray

that as I bring forth Your word, Lord, this morning, you will

confirm Your word with signs following Jesus.

Thank you Lord, let everything I say be all of you and nothing to

do with me. In Jesus name, Amen.

You know church, we need to come to that place where we decide

within ourselves that absolutely nothing else matters.

But ABBA Father, nothing else matters.

No one else can meet our needs other than ABBA Father God, and

we need to make a conscious decision every day to refuse

this one. When you wake up in the morning,

you make a conscious decision to put this one away and focus on

the One who can make all things possible, where your desperation

is so desperate for him that that thing doesn't matter

anymore. That it is Secondly, Thirdly,

Fourthly. Fifthly, but the choice is

yours. Hello.

The choice is yours. You know, this is a good tool.

It can be a good tool. It can be a blessing to so many

people if it's used in the right way.

But it can also be a curse on your life because it's full of

also evil and wickedness, especially for men and women.

With the subject of pornography, I'm not going to go into that

subject this morning because it's so deep that I'm just

saying it. Everyone of us sitting here

today can be trapped by the evil of pornography.

Whether you are a woman, young or old man, young or old, you

can be trapped in it. It would destroy your

relationship with God and also with relationships with your

families. Please believe what I am saying.

Nothing else can satisfy you apart from Jesus.

Amen. OK, I want to read to you from

the book of Acts a very very popular scripture verse.

Acts chapter 3. One day Peter and John were

Acts 3 · chapter mention

going up to the temple at the time of prayer at 3:00 in the

afternoon. Now a man who was lame from

birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful,

where he was put every day to beg from those going into the

temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about

to enter, he asked them for money.

Peter looked straight at him, as did John.

Then Peter said, look at us. So the man gave him, gave them

his attention, expecting to get something from them.

Then Peter said silver and gold I do not have.

I'll just stop there briefly. Church.

There's nothing wrong in wanting Pestle.

Nothing wrong at all. It's a human instinct to want

Pestle. But you know, we can get so

obsessed with wanting pestle that it ruins our lives.

What was the greatest commandment for Jesus did what

He gave his one. Sorry, God the Father gave his

one and only Son. Christians, we're not here to

get, we're here to give. And if we focus on giving, not

just financially of ourselves for one another, what you reap,

you will sow back. God will see your heart and He

will reward you because God is naturally a giver and He loves

you all so, so much more so than your own parents.

He loves you. He doesn't want any lacking in

any of your lives. So the truth is, church, we're

not here to get wealthy Walatna Siguru.

We're here to be Christ like, to serve him, to serve him with all

of our hearts. That's where we get our reward.

Who wants one day for the Lord to say to each and everyone of

you, if you put this into practice, well done my good and

faithful servant. Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

Hallelujah. So church, please get away from

the mindset of the world. Which ones to get, We're not

here to get. We will never be satisfied by

always trying to get. Never, never, never, never,

never. God is a rewarder.

He sees your need. It's not good for man to be

alone. He shall provide your partner

those singles here. Just serve him with your whole

heart. He shall reward you.

He's already preparing someone for you.

Singles, do you hear me? He's already preparing someone

for you. Just serve him continually with

all your heart. Amen.

Yeah. Smile.

Yeah. It's exciting.

I'm excited to hear from Buddy about future wedding dates.

Hey, Buddy. Hallelujah.

Thank you, Lord. Yeah.

Thank the Lord. Come on.

Thank the Lord. Start thanking the Lord for your

future partners. Come on.

Because God is preparing. Come on.

Start. Start thanking him in the

spirit. Come on, come on, come on.

Yes, get excited. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

And I just feel a prompting from the Lord.

I feel a prompting from the Lord.

Just to add to this as I'm on this subject.

Hear me please, when you do, when you do it's, it's really

men I'm talking to now when you do find the right partner,

please men, young man, make sure it's of the Lord.

Don't just get married because it feels good.

It will never last. Amen, married men.

Amen. Eric, please hear me.

Don't ever do it for that sake. And never be tempted to have sex

before you're married. Never.

It would be a bondage to you in the wrong direction.

But when you do find someone men who you feel you want to get

married to, as I said, make sure it's of God.

When I got married to my beautiful wife Grace, I don't

know if Buddy knows this story or not, but I had a very bad

past, very promiscuous past. I'm not going to go into

details, but I did not want to mess up my wife and I didn't

want to make a mistake. It felt good, it looked good

spiritually, we were friends. But I needed to know from Aggie,

not all. And hear me, you need to know

she is of the law. Fast and pray, fast and pray.

I did and I got onto my knees in my room, shut the door, fasted

and prayed. And I said, Lord, if grace is

for me, show me, Reveal something to me, and if your

heart is sincere, He will. Because what does the Bible say

in the book of John? My sheep know my voice.

Amen men. Amen men.

And the Lord gave me a scripture, and when I read that

scripture, I had no doubts at all that grace would be my wife

and men. What I'm saying is when you know

that Lady is of the Lord, when you know God has confirmed it to

you, then you go ahead and get on your knees to the father of

the girl and ask for her a marriage.

And let me tell you, 26 years later, Grace and I are still

strong. In our marriage, we've been

through very tough times, and I mean very tough times.

But you know what has kept me? The word of the Lord, because he

always reminds me when I feel like, Oh no, this is not

working. The word of the Lord has kept me

and that's why we're still together as husband and wife.

That's something additional for you men.

I was, I didn't know I was going to say that, but the Holy Spirit

prompted me to say that to you because maybe some of you are

already preparing. I don't know.

Anyway, getting back to the passage, Peter said Silver and

gold I do not yet have, but what I have I give to you in the name

of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Walk.

Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the

man's feet and ankles became strong.

Hallelujah. He jumped to his feet and began

to walk. Then he went with them in the

temple courts, walking and jumping and praising God.

Are we ready to walk up, down, jumping and praising God?

We need to get excited about Jesus Church.

Come on, we need to get excited about our living Jesus because

we serve a miracle working gods, and He wants to do a miracle in

each and everyone of you here today, tomorrow, the next day,

the next week, the next month, the next year.

We serve a Jesus who never changes.

We serve a Jesus who is the same in the Bible when He was alive

as He is today. And there's revival going on all

over the world today. And please can I ask you, I just

feel to say this as well. Could you please, as a church,

Dell, could you please as a, could you please as church, pray

for my country? It's going through a horrendous

time of so-called Islamic domination.

It breaks my heart because I'm British, but it's it's

horrendous what's going on in the UK.

But there is a big revival event taking place in Parliament

Square in London, hosted by a friend of mine, evangelist

Daniel Chad, who is British, and he's going to be leading this

revival event. Can I ask you please, as a

church, to pray for this event? Because I want to hear of great

and mighty things in my country. Thank you, thank you so much.

Maybe the Lord might lead you to pray and fast, that's up to you.

But as long as you pray, that's good enough.

When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they

recognised him as the same man who used to sit begging at the

temple gate called Beautiful and they were filled with wonder and

amazement of what had happened to him.

Church, every single one of us has a testimony to give.

Every single one of it is capable of opening this one and

being a blessing to someone. And let me tell you, one of the

least gifts in Christendom today is the gift of encouragement.

And I would like to say to all the men from this day forward,

send a text to someone else. You know, you may not have done

it before, but send a text to another man that you know in

this church or someone else. Send them a word of

encouragement, a scripture. Same with the ladies.

We all need encouragement. Do you hear me?

Hello. We all need building up in God.

Don't do it for me, do it for yourselves and the person you're

texting or phoning. Amen.

Revival starts now, and it begins with you.

Now we need to see here from that passage I've just read out,

that the man referred to here was a crippled man since birth,

a beggar, and when Peter and John went up to him he was

expecting nothing else from them but money.

Is that the same with you? When you come to God?

You don't expect anything else but money or worldly things?

Or do you look to your God as a God who wants to meet all your

needs according to your riches in glory?

Or you you want to be used to be a blessing to someone else?

Is that your God church? We've got to get rid of this.

We've got to get rid of this church.

I won, I won. I won, I won, I won.

No, it should be what can I give?

What can I give? What can I give?

What can I give? Amen.

There are opportunities all around you.

Hello. There are opportunities all

around you. To be a blessing to someone

else. You're all capable.

Oh, but Pastor, you don't know me.

You don't know. I've been so discovered.

Stop it. Stop it.

We all get discouraged sometime. But when we continue to give,

when we continue to sow, when we continue to be a blessing to

someone, it will take our eyes off ourselves.

Hello. Look for opportunities around

you, around the vow here. Do you have gospel tracts in the

church, buddy? Yes.

Ask Ruddell buddy for gospel tracts.

You start to sow a seed. Start giving out gospel tracts

to people that come across your path.

You're sowing a seed. Amen.

Be a blessing to someone because what you do you receive back,

what you give you shall receive. We need to ask ourselves, well

like I just said, is it the same with us?

But do we come to God every day and ask in faith about the

situations that come across our path, knowing that what we ask,

we shall receive. Ask and it shall be given you.

The Bible says seek and you shall find.

Knock and the door shall be opened to you for issue.

Ask. You shall receive.

It's a promise from God. Amen.

Wherever our faith level is, the fact is God wants to do so much

more than where we are. Remove all your limitations

right now. Remove it.

We need to come to God in prayer and expect nothing but the very

best of our God. Hello, nothing but the very

best. Whatever situation you are in,

expect nothing but the very best for God to come in and make a

difference in your lives for the better, to change the negative

situation you are in to a positive.

The truth is, church, that is Christians, we are so so

blessed. Jesus did everything He could

2000 years ago on the cross for each and everyone of us, and we

need to tap in to what He has done by studying and reading the

Word of God. I haven't got time to go into

all the things He has done. They are countless, absolutely

countless upon countless, upon countless things the Lord has

done for each and every one of us.

But the Bible says we are blessed in the city, we are

blessed in this country, we are blessed when we go in and

blessed when we go out. This will always be the case,

church, as long as we follow the Lord and obey His precepts.

You read it for yourself in Deuteronomy chapter 28, The

Deuteronomy 28 · chapter mention

Blessings of walking in Obedience to the Lord.

Algot. Yes, I know it's not easy, but

we need to focus on the truth of God's Word and meditate it and

get it into our hearts and out and out of it will flow goodness

and mercy all the days of our life.

Amen. Amen.

And we need to recognise the blessings are continual.

You know the enemy, yes, is at work in our lives trying to stop

us moving forward in our Christian lives.

We have a choice, Church, who do we listen to the goodness of

ABBA Father or the curses of the enemy following ABBA Father?

The blessings are continual and Church, we need to see that we

as God's people carry around with us the glory of God within

us. The manifest presence of the

glory of God is within us. Hello, hello.

Two Corinthians chapter 3 verse 18 says so.

All of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the

glory of the Lord. Isn't that exciting?

The veil's been torn off. Jesus said it, God said it is

finished and we are now go around as glory carriers for

ABBA. Father Gods and the blessings

that we have should not be contained within us.

No, we need to give the blessings of the glory of God to

others, to one another, and to the lost out there.

Revival is here and now and is living within each and everyone

of you. It's up to you to take the

revival that is within you out to this lost world.

Let's start to get excited by what God wants to do in US and

through us for His glory. And the Lord who is the Spirit,

makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His

glorious image. The more we walk with Jesus, the

more we turn our back on the things of this world and this

fleshly thing here, the more we shall reflect the glory of the

Lord which is transforming us from 1° of glory unto another.

God has clothed you, all of you, just like with me, with His

glory, power and His presence in all those who are born again of

the Spirit. Being a glory.

Glory Carrier is being clothed with the power of God's Holy

Spirit and indwelt by the Lord Jesus Christ with all of His

attributes, likeness and behaviour.

To carry God's glory is to completely reflect God's

likeness. But we need to always recognise

that the devil is trying to steal that glory being shown to

one another and to the lost. Out there in Davao, we have a

choice each day what we pick up. That's why we need to be rooted

and grafted in the presence of the Lord every day of our lives.

And this is another word of the Lord for this church.

Haggai Chapter 2, verse 9 Leadership, take note.

Haggai 2:9

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the

former, says the Lord. Greater greats and higher

heights, buddy. You're getting excited, Bill.

Yeah. Greater greats and higher

heights. And in this place will I give

peace, says the Lord of hosts. You know, I just felt absolutely

overwhelmed this morning as we worshipped him.

I felt such a peace in this house.

And as I'm just dwelling on that, I feel it again.

So peaceful, so full of love in this house.

It's so awesome. You could reach out and touch

the love of God in this house. We should never get discouraged.

If you've had your hopes for something and it's not yet

happened, don't ever give up church.

Don't ever, ever, ever give up. God will come through for you

can say that to yourself right now.

My God will come through for me. It's a promise.

Keep your eyes on Jesus and cling hold of ABBA Father God.

Yes, you are so entitled to say ABBA Father God.

ABBA Father is the greatest daddy you could ever, ever, ever

have. He's the greatest daddy.

He's greater than your earthly daddy could ever be.

I lost my dad when I was 12 years old.

I'm not going to go into that today, but I'm just saying I

lost my dad when I was 12 years old.

But I've discovered my ABBA Father God is absolutely

brilliant, is absolutely faithful, is absolutely awesome,

and no one could ever take His place.

And I just love being in His presence just like we were this

morning. His presence was so awesome in

the house and I encourage you also when you go home in your

quiet times with the Lord, get into His presence, because in

His presence is fullness of joy. Nothing else can fulfil the

longing of your heart. Joel chapter 2, verse 25.

Joel 2:25

This is God's promise for you. For everything that has been

said so far, I shall restore to years to you the years that the

locusts have devoured. Whatever has gone on in your

life, God is going to replenish it.

That's His promise. He's going to completely turn

around bad and bring about good in your life forevermore.

Amen. Isaiah chapter 43 verse 19 says,

Isaiah 43:19

behold, I am doing a new thing now.

It springs forth. Do you not perceive it?

I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the

desert. What seems impossible for man is

not impossible for God. He is so faithful, so loving, so

sincere, so full of abundance. You shall see the goodness of

the Lord in the land of the living.

As I said, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.

The problem is for us as humans. We might change, but He never

changes. He's 100% faithful and 100% good

and we need to remember that church, Amen.

All his promises are yes and Amen.

One Peter, one verse 8 whom having not seen Him, you love

him, though now you do not see him, yet believing you rejoice

with joy, inexpressible and full of glory.
