Thank you 00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:16.200 Hey Paul 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.000 Alright guys, let's get going 00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:26.720 Father we thank you of I am coming we are coming with much 00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.560 Expectation thank you for the way you started us off today 00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:36.960 thank you for what you've been birthing in us all throughout and 00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:42.720 It's what's going to happen now. It's just a continuation of what you've already started 00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:46.120 Spirit of God I 00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:50.160 Give my mind my mouth my thinking 00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:53.120 To you 00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:55.120 We give our minds to you 00:00:56.080 --> 00:00:57.840 Spirit of God 00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.840 stir within us 00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:01.960 stir in us so that 00:01:02.720 --> 00:01:07.720 Our hearts will be stirred up to the very things that you have for us 00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.840 Spirit of God, we thank you as a people because you're present here 00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:20.240 We thank you as a people because you have plans for us today and we want to engage with you and receive from you 00:01:21.160 --> 00:01:23.320 So that we can do the things you're asking us to 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:28.120 In Jesus name I pray amen 00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:33.600 He's done here can you come for a second 00:01:46.520 --> 00:01:48.800 It's going worldwide, huh? All right 00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:54.440 So we've been we've been hearing about the kingdom of God 00:01:56.080 --> 00:02:03.080 Emily wanted to say before I go Emily wants to say something please come in. That's perfect timing 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.400 When we were during during worship 00:02:09.760 --> 00:02:15.720 God was speaking to us about surrender and I think we we were making inroads into 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:22.160 surrendering things to him and one of the things that I felt like he wanted us to know and he wanted to say explicitly is that 00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:23.640 the 00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:31.760 When Jesus invites us to surrender something it's not because it's a bad thing and we know this intuitively about something 00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:37.020 So money we know I think we've been taught well enough money is a tool like we can use it for the kingdom 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.540 So we might be able to say Jesus I surrender my money to you 00:02:40.540 --> 00:02:42.320 I surrender my finances to you 00:02:42.320 --> 00:02:49.040 But Jesus was also inviting us to surrender things that we think are good and are close to us things like our personality 00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:53.520 Things like the way that we show up and the way we interact with other people 00:02:54.160 --> 00:03:00.920 Surrendering these parts of ourselves that we might want to hold on to because we think they're good and we think that by surrendering them 00:03:00.920 --> 00:03:02.760 We have to give them away 00:03:02.760 --> 00:03:07.680 Jesus was inviting us to surrender different aspects of our personalities as well 00:03:08.320 --> 00:03:12.860 The good and the bad and the things that we think are really really great 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:19.720 Because he wants us to have an attitude of surrender to him where we say we actually trust you because he was inviting us into place 00:03:19.720 --> 00:03:21.120 of deeper trust 00:03:21.160 --> 00:03:25.020 Of greater intimacy and of greater expectation in him 00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:30.880 So that it's not just surrendering things that we might think are bad or we might want to change 00:03:30.880 --> 00:03:34.720 But even surrendering the things we really don't want to change in how we act 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.640 Because then he can use them for his kingdom then he can do what he wants to do with it 00:03:51.320 --> 00:03:57.440 So this is for someone that is stuck in their way and in their situation 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.880 God is saying that he's going to renew your mind and 00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.560 Make a way in your situation 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.120 So let's go 00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:40.680 Kingdom of God that's what we've been hearing about over the last few weeks 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:42.280 I want to go down the same path 00:04:42.280 --> 00:04:46.920 We met for an encounter meeting on Monday and some of you guys were there 00:04:47.200 --> 00:04:52.460 Some things happened while while we were at the meeting and Jacob asked me to kind of take it from there 00:04:52.460 --> 00:04:56.480 And that's what I I hope will happen today in our midst 00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:02.120 I know for a fact that what God has given me to share with you is 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:10.920 In a way going to position us for the things we've been hearing about I've titled it in breaking because we've been talking about the 00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:18.700 Inbreaking of the kingdom of God in our lives in the lives around us and the title is in breaking bridging the gap 00:05:19.640 --> 00:05:21.640 We've been talking about 00:05:22.640 --> 00:05:24.280 This idea that 00:05:24.280 --> 00:05:28.400 Yes on one hand Jesus's gospel is for personal salvation 00:05:28.520 --> 00:05:33.120 But on the other hand there is so much more to this kingdom that Jesus talked about 00:05:33.760 --> 00:05:37.920 Before his resurrection he talked a lot about this one subject 00:05:38.440 --> 00:05:42.380 Kingdom of God after his resurrection for about 40 days 00:05:42.380 --> 00:05:48.200 He went on to preach and teach about this very subject kingdom of God and 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:54.440 It's amazing how we sometimes don't talk about it much and it's not guys 00:05:54.440 --> 00:06:01.460 It's not that acts 29 is now talking about the kingdom of God because we haven't talked about it much before 00:06:01.460 --> 00:06:07.240 I believe we are talking about this now because this is the Holy Spirit's 00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:11.280 Direction for us today at this time in our lives 00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:15.800 I was thinking about how how when I started at external in 2011 00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:21.720 How things were and and the seasons we've gone through and it's amazing and there are some people here 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:26.200 You can you can see how God has been taking us through different channels 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:32.600 To through different pathways to position us and to bring us here and I believe at this time 00:06:32.840 --> 00:06:36.740 There is something that the Holy Spirit is so gung-ho about about us 00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:41.920 And this is to this is for us to understand touch grasp 00:06:42.320 --> 00:06:47.640 What he is saying with regards to the kingdom in and through our lives 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:52.880 So I actually want us to be excited because today I've got something that's very simple 00:06:53.200 --> 00:06:58.840 But something that it's it's basically going to get going to be a key or keys that allow us to 00:06:59.200 --> 00:07:04.780 To walk into what God has given he has been talking about this on one hand. Yes 00:07:04.900 --> 00:07:09.420 There is this in breaking of the kingdom into our lives into the light lives around us 00:07:09.420 --> 00:07:12.480 But for us to receive it man, we have to walk confidently 00:07:13.380 --> 00:07:20.580 knowing that there is power in this kingdom knowing that this power will touch those around us and us and 00:07:21.340 --> 00:07:25.600 Jacob talked about it much in length two weeks ago. I think where he said there is a gap 00:07:26.340 --> 00:07:31.140 Because we know these things in our heads, but for some reason we aren't always 00:07:32.020 --> 00:07:34.900 Overflowing in this reality high for you 00:07:36.420 --> 00:07:40.340 We aren't always overflowing in this reality and 00:07:41.260 --> 00:07:44.940 Then we talked about hosting the very presence of God 00:07:45.420 --> 00:07:49.100 That it's almost this picture of of a dove that's on my shoulder 00:07:49.380 --> 00:07:53.820 And when I walk around when I'm here talking with you guys when I go out when I'm grocery shopping 00:07:54.180 --> 00:08:00.580 When I'm at work when I'm doing calls, it doesn't matter. It's almost this picture of I've got this great privilege 00:08:01.380 --> 00:08:03.380 and this responsibility 00:08:03.580 --> 00:08:07.340 to partner with God and host his presence and 00:08:10.900 --> 00:08:16.660 It doesn't end there because all of what we are talking about just like we sang today is not just about us 00:08:16.660 --> 00:08:22.100 It is about this in breaking of the kingdom of God into the lives around us 00:08:22.700 --> 00:08:24.700 But it starts with us 00:08:24.700 --> 00:08:31.700 What the disciples did because after 40 days of Jesus preaching about this after he's resurrected and these guys are seeing him every day 00:08:31.700 --> 00:08:37.700 And he goes on talking about this and at the end one of the guys says so when are you restoring the kingdom of Israel? 00:08:37.700 --> 00:08:42.420 They didn't reject the idea of the kingdom, but they reduced it and 00:08:44.420 --> 00:08:46.940 That's what we do. We are not rejecting 00:08:47.020 --> 00:08:50.380 The idea of the kingdom, but they reduced it and 00:08:52.140 --> 00:08:57.940 That's what we do we are not rejecting the idea of the kingdom, but we are reducing it 00:08:59.940 --> 00:09:06.040 And we can't do that so I am actually excited when I wrote when I was writing some of those things down 00:09:06.040 --> 00:09:09.940 I was like my goodness. It's almost like I can see the Holy Spirit 00:09:10.980 --> 00:09:15.060 leading us a path because he is setting us up for something I 00:09:16.060 --> 00:09:21.100 Really believe it with all my heart. He is setting us up for something and 00:09:22.020 --> 00:09:24.020 last week when Paul was here 00:09:24.580 --> 00:09:29.740 I've got to say something about Paul nice maybe because this is his last last Sunday 00:09:30.140 --> 00:09:36.980 But last last week when he was here. He said something along the lines of something is something something is coming your way 00:09:37.300 --> 00:09:43.020 We're using words like something we are using things like I don't know but I can sense it 00:09:43.020 --> 00:09:48.340 It's actually good guys because in the in the Bible it often says suddenly something happened 00:09:48.340 --> 00:09:54.020 They did not know what they were waiting for the disciples knew in that upper room 00:09:54.180 --> 00:09:56.780 That they were to wait for the Holy Spirit 00:09:56.780 --> 00:10:03.620 But they had no idea because in the Old Testament you don't read about an encounter like that, but they were sitting there 00:10:04.140 --> 00:10:05.340 expectant 00:10:05.340 --> 00:10:10.220 Knowing that Jesus said my father's promise is going to come to you and 00:10:11.180 --> 00:10:17.220 This kingdom mission that I'm placing right in front of you it cannot be accomplished without the Holy Spirit 00:10:18.220 --> 00:10:20.620 It cannot be accomplished without the Holy Spirit 00:10:22.620 --> 00:10:24.620 This even when this year started 00:10:25.300 --> 00:10:31.100 My heart has been in this place of Holy Spirit. I want to know you as a person 00:10:32.340 --> 00:10:34.340 I've overlooked you I 00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:40.860 Want you when I'm singing songs and when I need direction when I speak when I want to speak to someone 00:10:41.860 --> 00:10:44.260 But I want to know you as a person I 00:10:45.460 --> 00:10:47.460 Want to be so intimate with you 00:10:48.420 --> 00:10:52.420 It has to be so much more than what you have a word for a person 00:10:52.420 --> 00:10:56.300 It has to be so much more than what what God is speaking to you about the church 00:10:56.300 --> 00:11:01.100 It has to be so much more than directions for your personal life. Holy Spirit 00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:05.620 You are one of the Trinity you are one of the persons 00:11:05.660 --> 00:11:12.740 You are you are Holy Spirit and I want you I want to touch you. I want to know you I want to 00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:16.720 Engage with you. I want to know your personality. I 00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:20.260 want to know you like a person and 00:11:21.260 --> 00:11:23.260 I desire that and 00:11:24.100 --> 00:11:28.500 It's amazing how we can go through the Christian life year after year 00:11:28.860 --> 00:11:33.020 But not make that a key emphasis. I want that 00:11:33.020 --> 00:11:38.220 I want to be able to at the end of this year sit down and say Holy Spirit 00:11:38.220 --> 00:11:43.180 It's been such a terrific year walking with you. I know you so much more now in 00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:47.420 December than when I started this journey with you in January 00:11:48.260 --> 00:11:50.620 Is it possible? Oh hundred percent 00:11:51.340 --> 00:11:58.260 Will I be richer? Yes, will I benefit? Yes, will others benefit? Yes, because it goes more than 00:11:59.620 --> 00:12:04.860 Just a few words. It goes way more than it the tangible presence of the Holy Spirit 00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:08.540 it goes way beyond that into the very person of God and 00:12:10.500 --> 00:12:16.840 That's what I want and I pray we all say we want this because he'll change things for us 00:12:16.980 --> 00:12:20.540 So the Apostles did not resist it. They reduced it 00:12:20.780 --> 00:12:24.340 The the idea the subject of the kingdom of God 00:12:26.140 --> 00:12:32.540 But then in Romans chapter 14 verse 17 it says for the kingdom of God is not a matter of 00:12:32.980 --> 00:12:38.620 drinking and eating but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit 00:12:38.620 --> 00:12:44.380 You can see with when Paul is writing this he ends that the kingdom of God is a matter of the Holy Spirit 00:12:44.380 --> 00:12:48.100 It's amazing right because I I remember these verses 00:12:48.100 --> 00:12:51.900 But I always leave some parts of these verses in my mind somewhere 00:12:51.900 --> 00:12:58.260 The kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking it is about righteousness peace and joy 00:12:59.540 --> 00:13:03.060 That I know in the Holy Spirit 00:13:03.860 --> 00:13:06.740 The kingdom of God is a matter of the Holy Spirit 00:13:06.900 --> 00:13:09.620 So the Holy Spirit wants us to zealously 00:13:14.060 --> 00:13:19.660 Go after what he is teaching and showing us and may I suggest that at this point 00:13:20.140 --> 00:13:25.060 For us at acts 29 and for those listening who are connected to acts 29 00:13:25.660 --> 00:13:28.900 The idea is that just like in the first verse 00:13:28.900 --> 00:13:32.060 The Holy Spirit is not a matter of eating and drinking 00:13:32.620 --> 00:13:37.940 The idea is that just like in Genesis chapter 1 00:13:38.340 --> 00:13:45.220 The Holy Spirit was brooding over the waters hovering over the waters. I believe that he is at this point 00:13:46.380 --> 00:13:48.380 in our lives as a church 00:13:48.780 --> 00:13:56.540 Brooding over us hovering over us to take us to a path that is already crafted. We're on it. Trust me. We are on it 00:13:57.060 --> 00:14:04.060 Trust me we are on it, but there is this there is this expectation of something coming and we can't miss it 00:14:06.060 --> 00:14:11.020 And everything that's we've been saying hey, this is not really about us. This is about him 00:14:11.020 --> 00:14:17.140 We just need to walk with him and the keys that I talked about bridging the gap. They're very simple 00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:20.500 But we've to we have to use the keys 00:14:21.220 --> 00:14:23.220 So what's happening with us? 00:14:23.420 --> 00:14:25.420 What's happening with us 00:14:25.700 --> 00:14:28.420 There is a there is a verse I want us to read out first 00:14:28.420 --> 00:14:32.240 Okay, second Chronicles chapter 15 verse 15 if you can go there 00:14:35.940 --> 00:14:38.980 Second Chronicles chapter 15 verse 15 00:14:45.460 --> 00:14:52.660 I'll read it and all Judah rejoiced over the oath for they had sworn with all their heart and had sought him with 00:14:53.260 --> 00:14:56.820 Their whole desire and he was found by them 00:14:59.420 --> 00:15:07.260 How beautiful is that it's one of the most beautiful verses in the Bible and God was found by them 00:15:08.620 --> 00:15:10.620 That's where we are 00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:13.860 Frankly he's not 00:15:13.980 --> 00:15:19.820 While he loves each of us individually and he wants to reveal himself fully to all of us individually 00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:26.860 We can't at this point in our lives miss the fact that he wants to be found by all of us 00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:35.060 The cry of heaven over acts 29 is this I want to be found by them 00:15:36.940 --> 00:15:40.780 It is not I want to be found by a few 00:15:41.300 --> 00:15:47.380 The cry of heaven over acts 29 is I want to be found by them 00:15:49.900 --> 00:15:54.640 And I spoke about this before in in that God is always setting us up 00:15:55.660 --> 00:16:01.900 He said he set up he set up Moses in in Exodus chapter 33. What happened Moses is saying? 00:16:01.900 --> 00:16:03.900 Hey, you've been talking to me about all of these things 00:16:04.060 --> 00:16:07.620 But if you don't have other leaders to send with me, it's not going to happen 00:16:07.620 --> 00:16:12.940 I need assurances about what you've been telling me and then I'll go God says I 00:16:14.940 --> 00:16:16.940 Will come with you 00:16:16.940 --> 00:16:18.500 he says 00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:21.500 My presence will go with you as soon as he so 00:16:22.700 --> 00:16:26.320 Moses says three four things but God just responds with a one-liner 00:16:26.660 --> 00:16:31.780 Just waiting in anticipation for Moses to then enter into a conversation 00:16:32.260 --> 00:16:35.740 To a point where Moses will ask him show me your glory 00:16:36.500 --> 00:16:39.460 God was setting Moses up for that 00:16:39.980 --> 00:16:42.940 Same thing happens in in the Mount of Transfiguration 00:16:43.860 --> 00:16:45.740 three of them 00:16:45.740 --> 00:16:50.800 Jesus says come up the mountain to pray my goodness that was setting them up 00:16:52.380 --> 00:16:58.420 Jesus wasn't calling them up to just pray. He wanted them to see the glory of God and 00:16:59.940 --> 00:17:04.060 The voice from the heavens that will say this is my son 00:17:04.740 --> 00:17:07.860 Jesus wanted them to experience it 00:17:08.300 --> 00:17:13.600 Jesus was setting them up for an encounter with the person of God 00:17:14.560 --> 00:17:16.800 Jesus wanted them to see him 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.320 differently and 00:17:19.320 --> 00:17:25.520 That is why then John writes in John chapter 1 and we beheld his glory and the glory as of the only 00:17:25.800 --> 00:17:27.800 begotten son of God 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:32.000 God is setting us up 00:17:36.520 --> 00:17:42.840 We've we've we've got to know where we are we go to understand the times we are in very important 00:17:44.320 --> 00:17:49.620 Because it's it's not about a teaching. It's not about a new topic. It's not about what we're hearing wanting to hear 00:17:49.620 --> 00:17:51.620 It's about where are we in our lives? 00:18:01.520 --> 00:18:06.480 So when I think about the kingdom of God, I've got to be honest with myself and ask the question Derek 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:08.640 How often do you then? 00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:15.000 Think about the kingdom of God how often do you then walk in the awareness of the kingdom of God? 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:22.700 The honest answer is I do think about the kingdom of God every now and then 00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:29.840 But the hours that I do not think about the kingdom of God and walk in the awareness beats 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.060 The hours that I do by much 00:18:33.060 --> 00:18:39.740 So why is it that I want this I desire this but I don't think about it 00:18:40.460 --> 00:18:43.520 I'm not aware of it as much as I want to 00:18:46.020 --> 00:18:48.020 Why is that? 00:18:53.660 --> 00:18:55.020 And 00:18:55.020 --> 00:19:00.220 What I propose today is that it's going to change in our lives because the 00:19:00.460 --> 00:19:03.860 Keys to walking like this is already given to us and 00:19:04.380 --> 00:19:08.500 So I don't while I am at this place of saying father 00:19:08.500 --> 00:19:13.860 I want to be more aware I want to live in this reality more than I I do currently 00:19:14.180 --> 00:19:19.500 While I say that I know that I'm saying this because he is setting me up for more 00:19:21.500 --> 00:19:24.500 And if that is where you are at and you're saying I 00:19:25.260 --> 00:19:32.860 If that is where you are at and you're saying I I cannot touch it, but I don't feel it fully I understand it 00:19:32.860 --> 00:19:35.940 But I don't experience it fully. Yeah, I walk in it 00:19:36.620 --> 00:19:40.820 For hours, but not enough then I'm telling you that very 00:19:41.340 --> 00:19:45.400 Sense that you have inside of you is God setting you up 00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:48.380 For what he wants to give you 00:19:48.980 --> 00:19:52.260 The Holy Spirit when he is stirring our hearts with this passion 00:19:52.260 --> 00:19:58.500 I believe he will bridge the gap if we are to obey want to go back to what these guys were saying before 00:19:59.220 --> 00:20:05.500 If we are to obey there is something about simple obedience that we'll need to touch on today 00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:11.380 Because the the direction is there the invitation was given 00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:13.900 months ago and 00:20:13.900 --> 00:20:18.700 For us to fully inhabit this place. There is simple obedience that we have to walk in 00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:24.240 And he will train us to see the kingdom in and through me the thing is 00:20:24.820 --> 00:20:31.620 The Alexa device right Iris has this Alexa thing that tells you about the weather and all of the nice stuff 00:20:32.340 --> 00:20:36.780 the cool thing of it is it will always it is always on and 00:20:37.620 --> 00:20:40.120 Alexa has my undivided attention 00:20:41.500 --> 00:20:43.060 Hey Alexa 00:20:43.060 --> 00:20:45.060 It's ready right there 00:20:45.300 --> 00:20:52.220 Alexa has the and it's the undivided attention doesn't matter Alexa will never say hey, I've had a long day. I can't 00:20:54.180 --> 00:20:57.640 Alexa will never say you know what I'm actually talking with this other guy so 00:20:58.220 --> 00:21:00.940 Not really not right now. Maybe five minutes later. No 00:21:01.860 --> 00:21:03.780 undivided attention and 00:21:03.780 --> 00:21:07.600 We can be like that to our father to our king 00:21:08.780 --> 00:21:11.380 the the the advantage that we have is 00:21:11.980 --> 00:21:20.300 That because he has graciously taught us about his fatherhood it is easier for us to enter into this 00:21:21.940 --> 00:21:26.280 Because with the kingdom that is the king we relate to the king 00:21:26.620 --> 00:21:33.260 But relating to this king is so much more easier because he has taught us about his fatherhood and 00:21:34.660 --> 00:21:37.340 So we are at a place of advantage in this 00:21:37.780 --> 00:21:43.240 We know him as father first and because we know him as father first now 00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:46.060 We can relate to him as the king of this kingdom 00:21:50.340 --> 00:21:55.100 So I want to be always on to what he is saying always on 00:21:56.100 --> 00:21:59.020 To what he wants to do it is possible 00:22:00.700 --> 00:22:04.580 Its practice I may not be where I need to be tomorrow 00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:08.460 But it takes practice and I want to give my life to that 00:22:09.140 --> 00:22:11.500 We need to give our lives to this 00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:16.020 Because if Jesus talked about this all his life 00:22:16.580 --> 00:22:21.980 We must be giving this much attention. We must be giving this our time 00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:28.460 Jesus said so guys today 00:22:28.620 --> 00:22:34.380 You're not going to get the bullet points and typically the typical way of doing it because today is different 00:22:34.580 --> 00:22:39.500 I want you to hear with your with your mind and your spirit. I 00:22:40.300 --> 00:22:43.460 Want you to allow the Holy Spirit to do something in you 00:22:49.500 --> 00:22:53.620 Because today is about us responding to him 00:22:55.660 --> 00:23:00.140 Using the keys receiving what he has because it will change us will look very different 00:23:00.140 --> 00:23:05.140 Jesus said in Matthew chapter 5 verse 3 only 20 more minutes 00:23:10.860 --> 00:23:14.460 I know that's that's when bishops team always loses though 00:23:17.420 --> 00:23:24.460 Jesus said in Matthew chapter 5 verse 3 blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven 00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:28.500 Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven 00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:32.180 This is the only kingdom where it's a blessing to be poor 00:23:33.660 --> 00:23:35.660 There is no other kingdom like this 00:23:36.380 --> 00:23:38.380 If you're poor 00:23:38.380 --> 00:23:41.340 You're in a very good place if you're poor in spirit 00:23:42.060 --> 00:23:44.460 The kingdom is yours. Jesus said it 00:23:45.100 --> 00:23:48.420 It is the kind of spiritual poverty that makes me 00:23:48.980 --> 00:23:50.980 To ask for a blessing 00:23:51.140 --> 00:23:53.140 Spiritual poverty that makes me 00:23:53.460 --> 00:23:55.460 To ask and receive 00:23:55.580 --> 00:24:00.660 That makes me not just receive what he is giving but then I use it up 00:24:00.660 --> 00:24:05.780 I trade it I try I do transactions with it and I deplete what is given to me 00:24:07.020 --> 00:24:13.220 Poor in spirit what well poor in spirit because I am so hungry and thirsty for more of the spirit 00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:18.220 And as I am given what he is giving me, I don't store it with me. I 00:24:18.940 --> 00:24:21.260 Use it I trade it I depleted 00:24:22.380 --> 00:24:28.820 Inobedience to what he is saying and so there is no time when you should find me rich in the spirit 00:24:29.660 --> 00:24:36.660 Because as I'm receiving I'm giving as I'm receiving I'm using as I'm receiving I'm trading as I'm receiving 00:24:36.660 --> 00:24:39.300 I'm depleting it for the sake of others and 00:24:39.820 --> 00:24:46.300 Because I live like that and you live like that. We must then also always be poor in the spirit 00:24:49.220 --> 00:24:54.860 It is like the poor widow who gave the two copper coins 00:24:56.100 --> 00:25:00.020 When she had nothing and said what I have I'm gonna give 00:25:01.460 --> 00:25:04.980 It's a place of poverty. It's a place of 00:25:07.420 --> 00:25:09.420 Not having enough 00:25:09.420 --> 00:25:16.420 Knowing you are connected to the source who will give you so much so that your jar will always overflow 00:25:16.420 --> 00:25:21.420 But at the same time it's a balance, but at the same time being so poor 00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:26.420 That you go and knock on his door. We are either jars that are full 00:25:26.420 --> 00:25:29.420 Who do not care to knock on his door 00:25:29.420 --> 00:25:34.420 But at the same time it's a balance but at the same time being so poor 00:25:34.420 --> 00:25:36.420 We are jars that are full 00:25:37.420 --> 00:25:44.420 Who do not care to knock on heaven's door or we are jars that are empty who will continually knock on heaven's door 00:25:44.420 --> 00:25:50.420 And may I suggest that the brooding over of the spirit over us is having us is 00:25:50.420 --> 00:25:56.100 Causing us to go and knock on his door saying we are so poor. We need you 00:25:57.180 --> 00:26:02.760 We are so poor. We need you. We are so hungry and thirsty. We need you 00:26:04.460 --> 00:26:07.120 We are hungry Jesus we are hungry 00:26:08.780 --> 00:26:11.780 Jesus we are hungry and thirsty we need you and 00:26:12.780 --> 00:26:17.400 May I say this should not stop within the four walls of this place 00:26:17.740 --> 00:26:22.660 It must go with us to our homes. It must go with us to our kitchens 00:26:22.660 --> 00:26:28.720 It must go with us to our living rooms and our bedrooms. It must go with us to the mundane things we do 00:26:29.340 --> 00:26:31.660 Jesus I am hungry and I am thirsty 00:26:31.780 --> 00:26:35.700 It must not be contained in this room 00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:40.740 We must take this and we must go 00:26:42.020 --> 00:26:44.020 Saying I'm desperate 00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:51.060 Because guess me trust me guys if I don't have money and I need money I'll come knocking I 00:26:53.220 --> 00:26:55.220 Will do so 00:26:55.220 --> 00:27:02.460 Don't is laughing because I don't know why you're laughing I 00:27:12.940 --> 00:27:18.900 Don't want to be I have enough jar that doesn't knock on Jesus's door 00:27:18.980 --> 00:27:20.980 So 00:27:22.100 --> 00:27:25.700 What are we hungry for this is what Jesus said let's go to 00:27:26.260 --> 00:27:33.420 Sue already spoke spoke from it John chapter 6 54 John chapter 6 verse 54 00:27:39.420 --> 00:27:43.740 For my body is real food and my blood is real drink 00:27:44.300 --> 00:27:49.900 The man who eats my body and drinks my blood shares my life and I share his 00:27:54.700 --> 00:27:56.700 It's this idea 00:27:56.700 --> 00:28:00.540 On one hand it's a verse that we use for communion 00:28:00.820 --> 00:28:06.800 But Jesus is saying listen to what he is saying. He's saying my body Derek is real food for you 00:28:07.700 --> 00:28:12.500 My blood is real drink for you. Are you spiritually poor? 00:28:13.140 --> 00:28:17.100 Are you poor in spirit? You don't have anything to eat and drink? 00:28:17.660 --> 00:28:22.220 Here we go. My body is real food and my blood is real drink 00:28:22.700 --> 00:28:28.660 The man who eats my body and drinks my blood shares my life and I share his 00:28:32.220 --> 00:28:40.240 The reason I do not walk like this always every day is simply because I can do with the I think I can do without it 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.040 It is the lie that my mind has now believed that Derek 00:28:45.040 --> 00:28:51.320 It's okay for you not to function like this always you can go with life without this 00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:57.280 But Jesus is very sure Jesus is saying Derek if you want to live you need to eat my body 00:28:57.280 --> 00:29:02.640 If you need to live you need to drink my blood, but Derek and us on the other side 00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:05.600 We can kind of do without it if needed 00:29:06.800 --> 00:29:08.800 Guys am I saying? 00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:10.960 Something that's our reality 00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:18.400 But this is what he said 00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:20.880 eat of me drink of me 00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:26.280 But the thing is I cannot eat of him and we'll talk about that more 00:29:26.360 --> 00:29:30.720 What does it mean, but I cannot eat of him and drink of him 00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:34.280 If I don't have time for him 00:29:34.280 --> 00:29:36.280 I 00:29:39.800 --> 00:29:44.800 Cannot drink of him and eat of him if I do not have time for him 00:29:49.120 --> 00:29:50.800 And 00:29:50.800 --> 00:29:52.800 That is one of the keys 00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:56.000 We've been hearing about all of these things 00:29:56.560 --> 00:29:58.720 How do we as a body? 00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:06.960 How is the Holy Spirit wanting to bridge the gap one of the keys he's giving us is to use our time 00:30:09.280 --> 00:30:11.280 Is to go to him 00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:16.240 Because this is very important because we cannot live without it 00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:22.440 There is a desperation that makes us to march to him and say now today Jesus. I 00:30:23.080 --> 00:30:28.640 Need you. I'm gonna sit down with you. I want to drink off your cup 00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:31.960 And I want to eat off your body and to do that 00:30:31.960 --> 00:30:38.120 I now realize why I'm not able to walk like this fully well because I need to give you my time to be able to 00:30:38.120 --> 00:30:46.320 Do it because sometimes I'm eating from other tables. They're not bad tables.

It will make me do that 00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:17.960 true desperation in my life for Jesus will cost me to 00:33:18.360 --> 00:33:20.800 Surrender my time to him 00:33:23.280 --> 00:33:29.720 Time is a key.

Hey, do you have time? 00:34:15.200 --> 00:34:18.480 Sorry, Jesus, I gotta gotta make a few calls this morning 00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:22.880 And then after that I'm gonna see check my schedule and see if I have time for you 00:34:23.720 --> 00:34:27.600 Not I'm not laughing because this is real.

It'll be a whole lot different if we did 00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:01.480 Sorry, I don't know if that offended anyone, but I don't care at this point. I 00:35:02.640 --> 00:35:07.800 Think I think we will look different. I think that our personalities will change so much 00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:11.760 So I think there will be there'll be such strength to us in him 00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:17.520 I think there'll be so much compassion we will change because we are seeing him 00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:28.160 And if this is true because I don't want to rush this if this is true for you 00:35:29.160 --> 00:35:31.160 Because guys one thing I believe is this 00:35:32.160 --> 00:35:36.680 Decisions that alter your life are often made in simple 00:35:37.240 --> 00:35:39.240 mundane days or 00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:41.880 Days filled with mundane things 00:35:42.160 --> 00:35:45.520 decisions that often change the course of your life because 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:52.680 See all of the guys is you read about in Hebrews chapter 11.

And I don't know what your sound is going to be 00:52:17.180 --> 00:52:20.180 Maybe you're going to be crying before him, moaning before him 00:52:20.180 --> 00:52:23.180 Praying before him, I don't care 00:52:23.180 --> 00:52:27.180 Just push through those moments where you can at least get to the place where you're just sitting 00:52:27.180 --> 00:52:30.180 And you've got nothing more to say 00:52:30.180 --> 00:52:33.180 And you're just saying, I'm sitting with you Abba 00:52:33.180 --> 00:52:36.180 All my fears, all my concerns, all my worries 00:52:36.180 --> 00:52:39.180 All those things that bother me so much 00:52:39.180 --> 00:52:42.180 All my sickness that I've gone through 00:52:42.180 --> 00:52:45.180 And I've never been sick in my life 00:52:45.180 --> 00:52:48.180 And I've been sick for six months 00:52:48.180 --> 00:52:51.180 With a stomach problem that hasn't left me 00:52:51.180 --> 00:52:54.180 And through that I'm going, God I'm still here through all of this 00:52:54.180 --> 00:52:57.180 Let's keep going Abba 00:52:57.180 --> 00:53:00.180 But today something shifted 00:53:00.180 --> 00:53:03.180 I've got a desire that we can start to work towards 00:53:03.180 --> 00:53:06.180 Maybe you need to work towards that 00:53:06.180 --> 00:53:09.180 I want you to come sit 00:53:09.180 --> 00:53:12.180 So Father I pray for these people 00:53:12.180 --> 00:53:15.180 I pray for this church 00:53:15.180 --> 00:53:18.180 Would you teach us, would you teach us Spirit of God how to come sit with you 00:53:18.180 --> 00:53:21.180 Maybe it will look ugly or pretty 00:53:21.180 --> 00:53:24.180 I really don't care, but can we quieten down our hearts and our minds 00:53:24.180 --> 00:53:27.180 That we learn how to sit 00:53:27.180 --> 00:53:30.180 With our Father 00:53:30.180 --> 00:53:33.180 And I pray Lord that as I've broken through that barrier in my life 00:53:33.180 --> 00:53:36.180 That I break open the door in this church 00:53:36.180 --> 00:53:39.180 For these sons and daughters of God 00:53:39.180 --> 00:53:42.180 That we'll be able to sit with you 00:53:42.180 --> 00:53:45.180 That this desire will kick in, no matter what's going on in our life 00:53:45.180 --> 00:53:48.180 No matter the pressure of life, no matter the busyness 00:53:48.180 --> 00:53:51.180 I will choose to sit with Father 00:53:51.180 --> 00:53:54.180 And I pray that we'll start seeing 00:53:54.180 --> 00:53:57.180 Transitions from an old wine skin to a new in our prayer life 00:53:57.180 --> 00:54:00.180 That our prayer life will change 00:54:00.180 --> 00:54:03.180 Whatever we've learned in the past we'll start to let go 00:54:03.180 --> 00:54:06.180 Because we're actually sitting with Abba 00:54:06.180 --> 00:54:09.180 And that will start to transform, I pray for journeys of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 months 00:54:09.180 --> 00:54:12.180 Where it will start ending up, we're going Father 00:54:12.180 --> 00:54:15.180 Come and sit with me, come sit with me Father 00:54:15.180 --> 00:54:18.180 I pray that for this church so I break open 00:54:18.180 --> 00:54:21.180 I break open today a shift in the Spirit 00:54:21.180 --> 00:54:24.180 I pray that you will remember it 00:54:24.180 --> 00:54:27.180 That there will be a new prayer language for people here 00:54:27.180 --> 00:54:30.180 There will be a prayer rule 00:54:30.180 --> 00:54:33.180 It will become beautiful once again God 00:54:33.180 --> 00:54:36.180 It will not be a heavy torment 00:54:36.180 --> 00:54:39.180 I will not just try and get through this time 00:54:39.180 --> 00:54:42.180 But I will actually enjoy this time, teach us how to enjoy 00:54:42.180 --> 00:54:45.180 Teach us Holy Spirit how to enjoy prayer 00:54:45.180 --> 00:54:48.180 Teach us Holy Spirit how to enjoy sitting with you 00:54:48.180 --> 00:54:51.180 So today I lift a lid 00:54:51.180 --> 00:54:54.180 I lift a lid on our prayer life 00:54:54.180 --> 00:54:57.180 I lift a lid on this thing where we have to sit 00:54:57.180 --> 00:55:00.180 Where it's a discipline, it's not a discipline 00:55:00.180 --> 00:55:03.180 It's a love 00:55:03.180 --> 00:55:06.180 I remove that lid of discipline off of us 00:55:06.180 --> 00:55:09.180 And a new found love to sit with Father 00:55:09.180 --> 00:55:12.180 And I pray Lord that even if it feels like 00:55:12.180 --> 00:55:15.180 Wasted time in the beginning it's okay 00:55:15.180 --> 00:55:18.180 Because it will shift, it will shift over us 00:55:18.180 --> 00:55:21.180 It will be the best time in our day 00:55:21.180 --> 00:55:24.180 So I pray today for hearts to receive the call 00:55:24.180 --> 00:55:27.180 For hearts to receive the call 00:55:27.180 --> 00:55:30.180 To come and sit with Him 00:55:30.180 --> 00:55:33.180 Thank you Paul 00:55:40.180 --> 00:55:43.180 Give time 00:55:43.180 --> 00:55:46.180 Give time, sit with Him 00:55:46.180 --> 00:55:49.180 Number one, number two 00:55:49.180 --> 00:55:52.180 Read Psalm 27, 4 please 00:55:52.180 --> 00:55:55.180 Psalm 27, 4 00:56:05.180 --> 00:56:08.180 Psalm 27, 4 00:56:08.180 --> 00:56:11.180 It talks about David 00:56:11.180 --> 00:56:14.180 Paul said what he said at the right time 00:56:14.180 --> 00:56:17.180 He talked about a place where 00:56:17.180 --> 00:56:20.180 He had things he had to wrestle with 00:56:20.180 --> 00:56:23.180 And then he entered to this place in God 00:56:23.180 --> 00:56:26.180 Where everything changed 00:56:26.180 --> 00:56:29.180 That's exactly where David writes the Psalm from 00:56:29.180 --> 00:56:32.180 David is in a time of personal turmoil 00:56:32.180 --> 00:56:35.180 There are enemies camping against him 00:56:35.180 --> 00:56:38.180 There is so much noise happening around him 00:56:38.180 --> 00:56:41.180 In the middle of all of that 00:56:41.180 --> 00:56:44.180 David in Psalm 27, 4 comes to this place 00:56:44.180 --> 00:56:47.180 And says I seek one thing 00:56:47.180 --> 00:56:50.180 I want to gaze on the beauty of the Lord 00:56:50.180 --> 00:56:53.180 And I want to inquire in His temple 00:56:53.180 --> 00:56:56.180 And may I suggest 00:56:56.180 --> 00:56:59.180 That the difference between 00:56:59.180 --> 00:57:02.180 I want to come sit with you 00:57:02.180 --> 00:57:05.180 And Abba come sit with me 00:57:05.180 --> 00:57:08.180 And I want to sit with you 00:57:08.180 --> 00:57:11.180 Is delight 00:57:11.180 --> 00:57:14.180 The gap between this first place of 00:57:14.180 --> 00:57:17.180 I want to sit with you 00:57:17.180 --> 00:57:20.180 To I'm here Abba come sit with me 00:57:20.180 --> 00:57:23.180 Is delight 00:57:23.180 --> 00:57:26.180 That's what David did 00:57:26.180 --> 00:57:29.180 David is saying at that time in his life 00:57:29.180 --> 00:57:32.180 I want to gaze on the beauty of God 00:57:32.180 --> 00:57:35.180 We say those words in songs 00:57:35.180 --> 00:57:38.180 Beauty, beautiful 00:57:38.180 --> 00:57:41.180 God you're beautiful 00:57:41.180 --> 00:57:44.180 But it's not a daily expression 00:57:44.180 --> 00:57:47.180 Of our lives to Him 00:57:47.180 --> 00:57:50.180 So there is a delight 00:57:50.180 --> 00:57:53.180 In his desire 00:57:53.180 --> 00:57:56.180 In David's desire to obey 00:57:56.180 --> 00:57:59.180 To be at a place 00:57:59.180 --> 00:58:02.180 Where he can see the beauty of God 00:58:02.180 --> 00:58:05.180 And one of the things I ask for us 00:58:05.180 --> 00:58:08.180 Is delight 00:58:08.180 --> 00:58:11.180 Couple weeks ago I was sitting back there while worship was happening 00:58:11.180 --> 00:58:14.180 And I received a word 00:58:14.180 --> 00:58:17.180 It just said Edna 00:58:17.180 --> 00:58:20.180 I didn't know what Edna meant so I went and looked it up 00:58:20.180 --> 00:58:23.180 And Edna means delight in Hebrew 00:58:23.180 --> 00:58:26.180 So when we give time 00:58:26.180 --> 00:58:29.180 When we sit with him the time that we give him 00:58:29.180 --> 00:58:32.180 There is legs to this time with delight 00:58:32.180 --> 00:58:35.180 Delight gives its legs 00:58:35.180 --> 00:58:38.180 Delight in God delight gives time 00:58:38.180 --> 00:58:41.180 Legs to go to navigate to 00:58:41.180 --> 00:58:44.180 To roam around to 00:58:44.180 --> 00:58:47.180 To see where God is 00:58:47.180 --> 00:58:50.180 To see where the father is 00:58:50.180 --> 00:58:53.180 It gives time legs 00:58:53.180 --> 00:58:56.180 To go into the places 00:58:56.180 --> 00:58:59.180 God has for you 00:58:59.180 --> 00:59:02.180 Time is one thing delight is the second key 00:59:02.180 --> 00:59:05.180 When delight comes together with 00:59:05.180 --> 00:59:08.180 Time we go into 00:59:08.180 --> 00:59:11.180 Places with him 00:59:11.180 --> 00:59:14.180 So not only do I give time 00:59:14.180 --> 00:59:17.180 Father show me how to be delighting in you 00:59:17.180 --> 00:59:20.180 How was David able to do it? 00:59:20.180 --> 00:59:23.180 While people are coming at him 00:59:23.180 --> 00:59:26.180 While he is at a place where he feels like he is cheated 00:59:26.180 --> 00:59:29.180 He is betrayed 00:59:29.180 --> 00:59:32.180 There are many coming against him 00:59:32.180 --> 00:59:35.180 He is at a place where he says I want to gaze on the beauty 00:59:35.180 --> 00:59:38.180 Of the Lord and I want us to be 00:59:38.180 --> 00:59:41.180 People like that we have made a commitment 00:59:41.180 --> 00:59:44.180 To spend time but spend time 00:59:44.180 --> 00:59:47.180 Gazing at the beauty of the Lord 00:59:47.180 --> 00:59:50.180 There is a very sad verse 00:59:50.180 --> 00:59:53.180 In Psalm 106 20 00:59:53.180 --> 00:59:56.180 I don't want you to read it but here is what it says 00:59:56.180 --> 00:59:59.180 They meaning Israelites exchanged 00:59:59.180 --> 01:00:02.180 Their glory with a capital G 01:00:02.180 --> 01:00:05.180 Israelites exchanged their glory 01:00:05.180 --> 01:00:08.180 With a capital G for an image 01:00:08.180 --> 01:00:11.180 Of the bull 01:00:11.180 --> 01:00:14.180 They exchanged their glory 01:00:14.180 --> 01:00:17.180 We have for us at Axe 01:00:17.180 --> 01:00:20.180 Today glory from the father 01:00:20.180 --> 01:00:23.180 For us 01:00:23.180 --> 01:00:26.180 But we sometimes exchange 01:00:26.180 --> 01:00:29.180 This glory with a G his glory for us 01:00:29.180 --> 01:00:32.180 That he wants to give we exchange it 01:00:32.180 --> 01:00:35.180 For other things I wish today I had more time 01:00:35.180 --> 01:00:38.180 But I don't 01:00:38.180 --> 01:00:41.180 There is another verse Jeremiah chapter 2 verse 11 01:00:41.180 --> 01:00:44.180 Another sad verse 01:00:44.180 --> 01:00:47.180 Has a nation changed its gods 01:00:47.180 --> 01:00:50.180 Even though there are no gods but my people 01:00:50.180 --> 01:00:53.180 God said have changed their glory 01:00:53.180 --> 01:00:56.180 For that which does not profit 01:00:59.180 --> 01:01:02.180 I wish I could talk more about the beauty 01:01:02.180 --> 01:01:05.180 Of the Lord how to gaze 01:01:05.180 --> 01:01:08.180 Upon his beauty but may I just say 01:01:08.180 --> 01:01:11.180 I am going to talk about the beauty of the Lord 01:01:11.180 --> 01:01:14.180 That he wants to give us today 01:01:14.180 --> 01:01:17.180 For us why don't we just start thinking of this 01:01:17.180 --> 01:01:20.180 As man there are so many facets to this 01:01:20.180 --> 01:01:23.180 Father I know just like a diamond has so many 01:01:23.180 --> 01:01:26.180 Many facets to it I am going to just sit down 01:01:26.180 --> 01:01:29.180 And I am going to gaze on him and he will direct 01:01:29.180 --> 01:01:32.180 My thoughts and my words to which facet 01:01:32.180 --> 01:01:35.180 Or facets of him he wants my mind 01:01:35.180 --> 01:01:38.180 There is so much in him 01:01:38.180 --> 01:01:41.180 So I give him time 01:01:41.180 --> 01:01:44.180 But I also by giving him time 01:01:44.180 --> 01:01:47.180 I want to delight in him 01:01:47.180 --> 01:01:50.180 I want to gaze on the beauty of the Lord 01:01:50.180 --> 01:01:53.180 People do this with creation 01:01:53.180 --> 01:01:56.180 Can you bring up this two slides guys it's 01:01:56.180 --> 01:01:59.180 1 16 will be done at 120 or so today 01:01:59.180 --> 01:02:02.180 For once I always stop at one you know that 01:02:02.180 --> 01:02:05.180 These guys just took so much time it's not my problem 01:02:08.180 --> 01:02:11.180 So this is the Grand Canyon 01:02:11.180 --> 01:02:14.180 You guys know it 01:02:14.180 --> 01:02:17.180 There are people who have spent 01:02:17.180 --> 01:02:20.180 30 years of their lives to go sit 01:02:20.180 --> 01:02:23.180 Somewhere and try to understand 01:02:23.180 --> 01:02:26.180 The beauty of the Grand Canyon and try 01:02:26.180 --> 01:02:29.180 To put that in a painting 01:02:29.180 --> 01:02:32.180 They spent 30 years 01:02:32.180 --> 01:02:35.180 And go to the next picture here is what some of that looks like 01:02:38.180 --> 01:02:41.180 They are looking at this piece of creation 01:02:41.180 --> 01:02:44.180 And they are trying to see the beauty 01:02:47.180 --> 01:02:50.180 And then they are trying to paint it 01:02:52.180 --> 01:02:55.180 With our Father who is the creator 01:02:55.180 --> 01:02:58.180 Of the Grand Canyon and that which we don't 01:02:58.180 --> 01:03:01.180 Even see in the universe 01:03:01.180 --> 01:03:04.180 My goodness we can be at his feet 01:03:04.180 --> 01:03:07.180 We can be with him 01:03:07.180 --> 01:03:10.180 Wherever we are to gaze on his beauty 01:03:10.180 --> 01:03:13.180 And trust me it's not difficult 01:03:13.180 --> 01:03:16.180 There is so much in him 01:03:16.180 --> 01:03:19.180 The reason we don't do that is because we don't have time 01:03:19.180 --> 01:03:22.180 But now that we are giving him time 01:03:22.180 --> 01:03:25.180 He will cause his beauty 01:03:25.180 --> 01:03:28.180 To transform us 01:03:28.180 --> 01:03:31.180 The bride of Christ will look different with this beauty 01:03:34.180 --> 01:03:37.180 I want to gaze like this guy is doing 01:03:37.180 --> 01:03:40.180 I want to be able to sit down with him 01:03:40.180 --> 01:03:43.180 Not just giving my time but now I am going to gaze 01:03:43.180 --> 01:03:46.180 On the beauty of the Lord 01:03:46.180 --> 01:03:49.180 So much to him I started on this process 01:03:49.180 --> 01:03:52.180 In these ways I did 01:03:52.180 --> 01:03:55.180 I am asking how when you sit down 01:03:55.180 --> 01:03:58.180 There are certain pathways God will take you through 01:03:58.180 --> 01:04:01.180 You have no idea 01:04:01.180 --> 01:04:04.180 All of a sudden he talks about he being the Lord of Earth 01:04:04.180 --> 01:04:07.180 And how every country belongs to him 01:04:07.180 --> 01:04:10.180 Every nation belongs to him 01:04:10.180 --> 01:04:13.180 All of a sudden you start seeing Canada in a different way 01:04:13.180 --> 01:04:16.180 Because now you are looking at Canada from above 01:04:16.180 --> 01:04:19.180 And on Canada is the rule of Christ 01:04:19.180 --> 01:04:22.180 I want to finish with this one thing 01:04:22.180 --> 01:04:25.180 There was a teenager 01:04:25.180 --> 01:04:28.180 Who was always tasked with 01:04:28.180 --> 01:04:31.180 Reading out bedtime stories 01:04:31.180 --> 01:04:34.180 Stories for his younger sister 01:04:34.180 --> 01:04:37.180 So this teenager will 01:04:37.180 --> 01:04:40.180 Around bedtime go to her room and start reading out 01:04:40.180 --> 01:04:43.180 Her favorite stories 01:04:43.180 --> 01:04:46.180 And she would enjoy it 01:04:46.180 --> 01:04:49.180 One day the kid got an idea 01:04:49.180 --> 01:04:52.180 What if I just record all of this 01:04:52.180 --> 01:04:55.180 All of her favorite stories I will just record it 01:04:55.180 --> 01:04:58.180 So he records it and then he runs to her 01:04:58.180 --> 01:05:01.180 And he says you know what I have recorded all of your favorite stories 01:05:01.180 --> 01:05:04.180 All of them 01:05:04.180 --> 01:05:07.180 And she responded and said but I don't have your lap 01:05:07.180 --> 01:05:10.180 But I don't have your lap 01:05:10.180 --> 01:05:13.180 He wants our hearts 01:05:13.180 --> 01:05:16.180 Not just our times 01:05:16.180 --> 01:05:19.180 Can we give him our time our heart 01:05:19.180 --> 01:05:22.180 Our delight in him 01:05:22.180 --> 01:05:25.180 A love that exceeds everything else 01:05:25.180 --> 01:05:28.180 To gaze on the beauty of the Lord 01:05:28.180 --> 01:05:31.180 Can we do that it will change us 01:05:31.180 --> 01:05:34.180 I guarantee you it will change us 01:05:34.180 --> 01:05:37.180 And I guarantee you this is where we are being taken 01:05:37.180 --> 01:05:40.180 Because when we talk about the glory 01:05:40.180 --> 01:05:43.180 When we talk about all of the stuff we are talking about 01:05:43.180 --> 01:05:46.180 It is paramount that we do this 01:05:46.180 --> 01:05:49.180 It will bridge our gap 01:05:49.180 --> 01:05:52.180 And I pray it does 01:06:08.180 --> 01:06:11.180 I think that's it 01:06:11.180 --> 01:06:14.180 But I just wanted to say if you would like prayer there will be people up 01:06:14.180 --> 01:06:17.180 It will be Joan and May 01:06:17.180 --> 01:06:20.180 And Jeremy and Derek 01:06:20.180 --> 01:06:23.180 If you have
