1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:03,280
Like never before, and I'm just excited, we'll

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:05,740
be in Luke chapter two to bring the

3
00:00:05,740 --> 00:00:07,320
word of God to you all.

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,820
I do want to share a dream that

5
00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:14,140
I had, I believe will hopefully apply to

6
00:00:14,140 --> 00:00:15,880
some of you guys, you know, that God

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,060
will speak through prophetic dreams often.

8
00:00:19,340 --> 00:00:21,340
Actually just, I took a power nap today,

9
00:00:21,380 --> 00:00:22,800
I love those, right before I get a

10
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,400
little exercise in and before ministering this evening

11
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,820
that we'll have releasing, it should be live

12
00:00:29,820 --> 00:00:32,420
to you now, Christmas Eve morning with your

13
00:00:32,420 --> 00:00:35,560
family and your PJs, drinking coffee, and again,

14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:36,980
hopefully just loving Jesus.

15
00:00:38,180 --> 00:00:40,860
But the dream was simple, again, just hope

16
00:00:40,860 --> 00:00:43,360
it applies with some and would bless you

17
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,780
guys, but what I could see in the

18
00:00:44,780 --> 00:00:48,100
dream was a Scrabble board.

19
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,080
We actually have one at home, it's funny,

20
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:54,680
me and my children play Monopoly, though a

21
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,300
little bit more when we can, we need

22
00:00:57,300 --> 00:00:59,080
to play Scrabble, but you know, the word

23
00:00:59,080 --> 00:00:59,380
game.

24
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,600
But it was vertical, all the words were

25
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,140
being built out vertically, which I believe is

26
00:01:07,140 --> 00:01:09,560
the word of the Lord to someone and

27
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,340
to you guys.

28
00:01:12,980 --> 00:01:14,200
And right when I saw it in the

29
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,880
dream, I heard a good story.

30
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:19,200
And so there's something to do with a

31
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,800
good story the Lord's building in your life,

32
00:01:22,820 --> 00:01:25,280
and it may be a literal connection to

33
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,260
somebody that just played Scrabble or has the

34
00:01:27,260 --> 00:01:30,180
game or enjoys it, I don't know, but

35
00:01:30,180 --> 00:01:33,380
it wasn't your typical horizontal and vertical, they

36
00:01:33,380 --> 00:01:35,720
were all being built out in different ways

37
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,000
vertically, which again, I believe speaks of the

38
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,060
heavenly call and the word of God.

39
00:01:41,140 --> 00:01:42,320
And I'm excited to jump into the word

40
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:45,520
of the Lord would be today with you

41
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:45,900
guys.

42
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,940
And we'll just speak that over you that

43
00:01:49,940 --> 00:01:52,660
I believe there's a prophetic kind of implication

44
00:01:52,660 --> 00:01:54,200
of God's voice to you.

45
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,800
And it's a good story he's building and

46
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,480
I think just like the game, you don't

47
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,680
always know until certain words come in that

48
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,420
it can now make another one and just

49
00:02:05,420 --> 00:02:07,120
wanna encourage you guys sometimes that it just

50
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,300
takes patience and time.

51
00:02:09,340 --> 00:02:10,480
And that's funny, that's one of the main

52
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,760
points I'm gonna hit tonight, as we look

53
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,120
at the birth of the Lord out of

54
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:15,560
Luke two.

55
00:02:16,740 --> 00:02:18,940
But I think sometimes it just takes time

56
00:02:18,940 --> 00:02:20,480
for destiny to unfold.

57
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:21,980
And I think the Lord won't encourage some

58
00:02:21,980 --> 00:02:23,180
of you guys that it's going to be

59
00:02:23,180 --> 00:02:24,040
a good story.

60
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:26,980
It's gonna be a good story, what he's

61
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:29,980
got planned out for you and to let

62
00:02:29,980 --> 00:02:34,700
those words begin to formulate and unfold by

63
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:36,860
him, from him to you and through you.

64
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:37,940
And that'll be good.

65
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,700
So we'll pray, we'll be in Luke two

66
00:02:40,980 --> 00:02:42,580
and I'm just really excited.

67
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,560
Hope it blesses you guys and it's been

68
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,940
rocking me as well and it'll be good.

69
00:02:48,020 --> 00:02:50,820
So Lord, thank you so much for this

70
00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:51,620
time together.

71
00:02:52,580 --> 00:02:54,300
Just right out of the gate, I bless

72
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:55,340
each and everyone listening.

73
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,060
I bless you in the name of the

74
00:02:57,060 --> 00:02:57,240
Lord.

75
00:02:57,420 --> 00:03:00,320
God, I ask for your manifest presence to

76
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,140
come into their homes worldwide.

77
00:03:03,620 --> 00:03:04,820
I ask that you would go ahead and

78
00:03:04,820 --> 00:03:07,640
heal bodies by your blood.

79
00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:09,960
Lord, thank you that your word went forth

80
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,840
and healed them.

81
00:03:11,780 --> 00:03:14,300
Thank you that your presence is there to

82
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:15,960
heal them, be healed in your bodies.

83
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,900
And I pray most of all, Lord, that

84
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:22,100
you would tenderize our heart to receive the

85
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:23,020
seed of your word.

86
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,580
Transform us, I pray.

87
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:26,980
I pray you'd help us fall more in

88
00:03:26,980 --> 00:03:29,980
love with you, know you more, and most

89
00:03:29,980 --> 00:03:31,320
of all be glorified, be pleased.

90
00:03:32,220 --> 00:03:35,180
We love you in Jesus' name, amen.

91
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:38,800
Awesome, so I'm gonna read Luke chapter two,

92
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,680
starting in verse one through 19.

93
00:03:40,900 --> 00:03:42,520
Good bit of reading, but then we'll jump

94
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,000
straight in.

95
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:44,900
I have a bunch of notes here and

96
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:47,220
we'll talk to you from my heart, but

97
00:03:47,220 --> 00:03:51,560
I'm just really excited, man, and just feeling

98
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,600
a fresh stirring of what we're heading into,

99
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,200
even into this new year, into 24 and

100
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:57,560
25.

101
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,620
And I think we're really coming into the

102
00:04:00,620 --> 00:04:04,440
culmination of things from promises many years ago.

103
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,780
I was just on the phone earlier with

104
00:04:06,780 --> 00:04:09,360
a dear friend of the house, and a

105
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,080
friend of mine, Paul Keith Davis, many of

106
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,400
you know, and he was saying similar, just

107
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,600
feeling something on the horizon and just expectant

108
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,839
and grateful.

109
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,500
But listen here, we're in the New King

110
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,460
James, verse one, and it came to pass

111
00:04:24,460 --> 00:04:27,840
in those days that a decree went out

112
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:30,040
from Caesar Augustus that all the world should

113
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:30,780
be registered.

114
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:38,540
This census first took place with Quirinius, I

115
00:04:38,540 --> 00:04:40,400
think I'd call him Qui for short, I

116
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,960
think his nickname if he was my partner

117
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:43,940
would be Qui.

118
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:47,200
Quirinius was governing Syria, verse three, and he

119
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:47,660
was the governor of the cities who all

120
00:04:47,660 --> 00:04:49,640
went to be registered, everyone to his own

121
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:49,960
city.

122
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,500
Joseph also went up from Galilee out of

123
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:55,660
the city of Nazareth into Judea to the

124
00:04:55,660 --> 00:04:59,140
city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because

125
00:04:59,140 --> 00:05:00,540
he was of the house and lineage of

126
00:05:00,540 --> 00:05:03,900
David to be registered with Mary, his betrothed

127
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:05,940
wife, who was with child, verse six.

128
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,920
So it was that while they were there,

129
00:05:08,460 --> 00:05:10,140
the days were completed for her to be

130
00:05:10,140 --> 00:05:10,540
delivered.

131
00:05:10,540 --> 00:05:15,620
and she brought forth her firstborn son, capital

132
00:05:15,620 --> 00:05:16,180
S.

133
00:05:16,380 --> 00:05:17,100
Thank you, Jesus.

134
00:05:19,020 --> 00:05:19,860
Thank you, Lord.

135
00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:23,300
And wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid

136
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:24,700
him in a manger because there was no

137
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:26,100
room for them in the inn.

138
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,900
Verse eight, and I wanna encourage you guys,

139
00:05:30,980 --> 00:05:32,940
just receive the word of God, it's supernatural.

140
00:05:34,060 --> 00:05:35,840
I'm so thankful for the word of God.

141
00:05:36,460 --> 00:05:37,480
May it wash you.

142
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:39,820
I'll start getting off on the whole thing

143
00:05:39,820 --> 00:05:41,540
on the word of God, but it's so

144
00:05:41,540 --> 00:05:42,540
powerful, alive.

145
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,160
It cuts through sharper than any two-edged

146
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,060
sword and it transforms us, it resets our

147
00:05:49,060 --> 00:05:49,480
soul.

148
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,620
But verse eight, now there were in the

149
00:05:51,620 --> 00:05:53,720
same country shepherds living out in the fields,

150
00:05:55,260 --> 00:05:57,200
keeping watch over their flock by night.

151
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,100
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood

152
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:01,680
before them and the glory of the Lord

153
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:02,840
shone around them.

154
00:06:03,980 --> 00:06:06,200
Angel before, glory around.

155
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:09,800
And they were greatly afraid.

156
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,120
Then the angel said to them, do not

157
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,320
be afraid for behold, I bring you good

158
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,120
tidings of great joy, which will be to

159
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:16,880
all people.

160
00:06:18,140 --> 00:06:19,720
For there is born to you this day

161
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,200
in the city of David, a savior, who

162
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,560
is Christ the Lord.

163
00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:24,700
And this will be the sign to you.

164
00:06:24,740 --> 00:06:26,460
You will find a babe wrapped in swaddling

165
00:06:26,460 --> 00:06:27,740
clothes, lying in a manger.

166
00:06:28,580 --> 00:06:30,600
And suddenly there was with the angel, a

167
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,900
multitude of the heavenly host praising God and

168
00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:36,880
saying, glory to God in the highest and

169
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,800
on earth, peace, goodwill toward men.

170
00:06:40,140 --> 00:06:42,480
So it was, verse 15, when the angels

171
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,620
had gone away from them into heaven, that

172
00:06:44,620 --> 00:06:47,160
the shepherds said to one another, let us

173
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,160
now go to Bethlehem and see this thing

174
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,300
that has come to pass, which the Lord

175
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:52,520
has made known to us.

176
00:06:54,510 --> 00:06:56,610
And they came with haste and found Mary

177
00:06:56,610 --> 00:06:59,970
and Joseph and the babe, capital B, lying

178
00:06:59,970 --> 00:07:01,250
in a manger, verse 17.

179
00:07:01,370 --> 00:07:02,730
Now, when they had seen him, they made

180
00:07:02,730 --> 00:07:04,770
widely known the saying which was told them

181
00:07:04,770 --> 00:07:05,870
concerning this child.

182
00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:10,170
And all those who heard it marveled at

183
00:07:10,170 --> 00:07:11,870
those things which were told them by the

184
00:07:11,870 --> 00:07:14,170
shepherds, but Mary kept all these things and

185
00:07:14,170 --> 00:07:15,290
pondered them in her heart.

186
00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:18,910
Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God

187
00:07:18,910 --> 00:07:20,430
for all the things that they had heard

188
00:07:20,430 --> 00:07:22,350
and seen and as it was told to

189
00:07:22,350 --> 00:07:22,570
them.

190
00:07:25,750 --> 00:07:28,690
So, I'm actually gonna be hitting 11 points,

191
00:07:29,890 --> 00:07:32,250
kind of an exhortation first, and then 11

192
00:07:32,250 --> 00:07:35,290
points that I'm calling this the birthing of

193
00:07:35,290 --> 00:07:36,530
the Lord's second coming.

194
00:07:37,370 --> 00:07:39,970
So, kind of a unique lens into it,

195
00:07:40,070 --> 00:07:41,870
but I couldn't see it any other way

196
00:07:41,870 --> 00:07:42,430
this year.

197
00:07:42,890 --> 00:07:45,090
I pulled from, I wanna say it was

198
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:47,210
Luke one into Luke two last year and

199
00:07:47,210 --> 00:07:52,450
hit it from a different angle, but the

200
00:07:52,450 --> 00:07:55,430
Lord's return is so near and I see

201
00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:58,750
such a parallel often in scripture from his

202
00:07:58,750 --> 00:08:00,430
first coming to his second.

203
00:08:00,990 --> 00:08:02,290
And I believe we're gonna see many things

204
00:08:02,290 --> 00:08:08,050
repeat themselves from a broad overview, but also

205
00:08:08,050 --> 00:08:11,590
I would hope this message and I wanna

206
00:08:11,590 --> 00:08:12,990
deliver it in a way that we can

207
00:08:12,990 --> 00:08:13,750
apply it personally.

208
00:08:13,890 --> 00:08:14,690
I always try to do that.

209
00:08:15,370 --> 00:08:16,750
Apply the word of God to me personally

210
00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:19,150
and then corporately, I think you'll see a

211
00:08:19,150 --> 00:08:20,090
lot apply as well.

212
00:08:21,530 --> 00:08:24,310
So, a parallel look, the birthing of the

213
00:08:24,310 --> 00:08:27,050
Lord's second coming, using the Lord's first coming,

214
00:08:27,170 --> 00:08:31,669
his birth, to kind of do a reflected

215
00:08:31,669 --> 00:08:34,870
image of some similarities and parallels.

216
00:08:35,030 --> 00:08:38,309
We're gonna see markers, if you will, signs

217
00:08:38,309 --> 00:08:40,669
that will also indicate how near we are

218
00:08:40,669 --> 00:08:43,290
and point to his second coming and final

219
00:08:43,290 --> 00:08:43,630
coming.

220
00:08:45,390 --> 00:08:47,790
And in there, 11 points too, that we

221
00:08:47,790 --> 00:08:50,470
can apply personally in Jesus' name and that

222
00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:55,290
we can see corporately also to the church,

223
00:08:55,370 --> 00:08:56,610
the body of Christ and things like this.

224
00:08:56,610 --> 00:08:58,410
But first, a quick exhortation.

225
00:08:58,550 --> 00:09:00,110
This isn't quite to the 11 points and

226
00:09:00,110 --> 00:09:01,150
then I'll pray at the end.

227
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:02,250
Pray the Lord bless you today.

228
00:09:02,410 --> 00:09:04,930
I really pray that you'd fall more in

229
00:09:04,930 --> 00:09:05,530
love with Jesus.

230
00:09:05,730 --> 00:09:08,390
May his word go deep within your heart.

231
00:09:09,710 --> 00:09:11,730
I pray even if you have family members

232
00:09:12,290 --> 00:09:14,710
there watching in town, that the glory of

233
00:09:14,710 --> 00:09:18,090
the Lord will be manifest amongst you, that

234
00:09:18,090 --> 00:09:20,950
you'd sense his tangible presence and his nearness

235
00:09:20,950 --> 00:09:22,250
and conviction of heart.

236
00:09:23,050 --> 00:09:24,830
There's whole things about Jesus and knowing him,

237
00:09:25,490 --> 00:09:27,410
you know, that more and more by the

238
00:09:27,410 --> 00:09:29,030
day and especially going into a new year,

239
00:09:29,170 --> 00:09:31,050
we would get our priorities right.

240
00:09:31,130 --> 00:09:33,070
And it's to love Jesus, know him, be

241
00:09:33,070 --> 00:09:36,230
in his word, that he may get glory.

242
00:09:37,210 --> 00:09:40,890
So with this first exhortation, I wanna point

243
00:09:40,890 --> 00:09:42,550
out as it says in verse one, and

244
00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:43,950
it came to pass in those days that

245
00:09:43,950 --> 00:09:45,890
a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that

246
00:09:45,890 --> 00:09:48,050
all the world should be registered.

247
00:09:48,830 --> 00:09:51,390
First off, I just wanna highlight the difference

248
00:09:51,390 --> 00:09:54,250
because I think the Lord's looking for a

249
00:09:54,250 --> 00:09:56,850
Jesus type people that are in the image

250
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:58,330
of God and look like him.

251
00:09:58,550 --> 00:10:02,210
And I wanna just kind of expound on

252
00:10:02,210 --> 00:10:06,510
the stark difference of mankind and our tendencies

253
00:10:06,510 --> 00:10:09,650
in leadership and governance versus the Lord.

254
00:10:09,670 --> 00:10:10,870
It looks vastly different.

255
00:10:11,010 --> 00:10:13,570
And I pray you and I as believers,

256
00:10:14,290 --> 00:10:17,110
and if you're not a believer, you must

257
00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:17,790
be born again.

258
00:10:18,430 --> 00:10:20,330
But to those of you that are children

259
00:10:20,330 --> 00:10:22,890
of God are listening to this, that we

260
00:10:22,890 --> 00:10:24,470
would go the Jesus way.

261
00:10:24,590 --> 00:10:26,270
He's the way, he's the truth, he's the

262
00:10:26,270 --> 00:10:26,530
life.

263
00:10:26,610 --> 00:10:31,030
And his model of rulership and of his

264
00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:33,150
means of governing, it's polar opposite.

265
00:10:33,330 --> 00:10:34,310
And so all you have to do is

266
00:10:34,310 --> 00:10:38,110
do a little historical dig on Caesar Augustus,

267
00:10:38,330 --> 00:10:40,590
digging into history or many others.

268
00:10:42,090 --> 00:10:44,070
And you can see polar opposites.

269
00:10:44,130 --> 00:10:45,830
And I just wanna use that because I

270
00:10:45,830 --> 00:10:47,750
think it's interesting that the gospel of Luke

271
00:10:48,350 --> 00:10:50,210
in the context of the son of God

272
00:10:50,210 --> 00:10:52,610
being born, he brings a leader into it.

273
00:10:53,130 --> 00:10:54,870
And even the world of that day being

274
00:10:54,870 --> 00:10:57,590
registered and all these similarities we'll get into

275
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:58,050
in a second.

276
00:10:58,110 --> 00:10:59,330
Then I think we're gonna see come back

277
00:10:59,330 --> 00:11:01,950
around again before the Lord comes again, his

278
00:11:01,950 --> 00:11:02,510
second coming.

279
00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:03,650
So this is his first one.

280
00:11:04,350 --> 00:11:06,090
I think many of these indicators are gonna

281
00:11:06,090 --> 00:11:09,630
repeat themselves and are coming close to come

282
00:11:09,630 --> 00:11:13,190
back on the forefront that will match the

283
00:11:13,190 --> 00:11:14,110
day of his second coming.

284
00:11:14,270 --> 00:11:20,810
So anyway, but Caesar Augustus, he reigned from

285
00:11:20,810 --> 00:11:25,450
like 27 AD to, sorry, BC to 14

286
00:11:25,450 --> 00:11:25,830
AD.

287
00:11:26,410 --> 00:11:29,370
And then Tiberius, his successor, just a quick

288
00:11:29,370 --> 00:11:35,490
little fun history lesson from it, reigned after

289
00:11:35,490 --> 00:11:35,930
him.

290
00:11:36,150 --> 00:11:38,170
And we know the Bible says that John

291
00:11:38,170 --> 00:11:40,950
the Baptist started his ministry in the 15th

292
00:11:40,950 --> 00:11:42,470
year of Tiberius.

293
00:11:42,530 --> 00:11:45,110
So you had Caesar Augustus, he reigned till

294
00:11:45,110 --> 00:11:47,090
his death up to 14 AD.

295
00:11:48,450 --> 00:11:50,890
And so let's say the Lord's around 14

296
00:11:50,890 --> 00:11:51,670
years old.

297
00:11:51,950 --> 00:11:54,490
And then you had 15 years of Tiberius's

298
00:11:54,490 --> 00:11:56,170
reign when John the Baptist came on the

299
00:11:56,170 --> 00:11:57,590
scene, and that's about 29 years.

300
00:11:57,690 --> 00:11:59,450
Jesus started his ministry around 30 years, we

301
00:11:59,450 --> 00:11:59,630
know.

302
00:12:00,370 --> 00:12:02,970
So just interesting to do kind of the

303
00:12:02,970 --> 00:12:03,710
history timeline.

304
00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:07,930
But Caesar Augustus, he was the first one

305
00:12:07,930 --> 00:12:12,250
to start the Roman Empire, the emperor, and

306
00:12:12,250 --> 00:12:15,070
did not lack confidence to say the least.

307
00:12:15,130 --> 00:12:16,390
We'll just put it that way kindly.

308
00:12:17,410 --> 00:12:20,350
And look, I have even, one of his

309
00:12:20,350 --> 00:12:22,650
famous quotes is before he passed on is,

310
00:12:22,770 --> 00:12:25,650
I found a Rome of bricks, I leave

311
00:12:25,650 --> 00:12:26,670
to you one of marble.

312
00:12:27,770 --> 00:12:34,090
Meaning, he's quite proud of his accomplishments, his

313
00:12:34,090 --> 00:12:36,810
abilities, and where I'm getting at is this

314
00:12:36,810 --> 00:12:39,390
is what we wanna run from as leaders

315
00:12:39,390 --> 00:12:41,550
that the Lord is raising up in the

316
00:12:41,550 --> 00:12:43,830
body of Christ, also in families, as parents.

317
00:12:44,050 --> 00:12:45,650
And you're always leading somebody.

318
00:12:46,470 --> 00:12:48,550
If you're a disciple, you're discipling somebody.

319
00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:50,410
There's always somebody watching and following.

320
00:12:51,370 --> 00:12:53,410
And may we run the Jesus way.

321
00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:58,070
So Caesar Augustus, who Luke two mentions, very,

322
00:12:59,130 --> 00:13:03,650
from what history shows, proud of himself.

323
00:13:04,010 --> 00:13:05,650
And so that's one famous quote.

324
00:13:05,790 --> 00:13:07,110
Also, I love this, listen to this.

325
00:13:08,350 --> 00:13:11,670
He actually wrote an autobiography on himself called

326
00:13:11,670 --> 00:13:14,090
The Deeds of the Divine Augustus.

327
00:13:14,930 --> 00:13:16,850
If that tells you a little bit about

328
00:13:16,850 --> 00:13:20,530
his posture on life, he literally wrote an

329
00:13:20,530 --> 00:13:25,250
autobiography, which first off, Jesus people, they don't

330
00:13:25,250 --> 00:13:25,810
even do that.

331
00:13:25,970 --> 00:13:27,890
They let other people write books about themselves.

332
00:13:29,330 --> 00:13:32,230
But writes something on himself and titles it

333
00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:34,370
The Deeds of the Divine Augustus.

334
00:13:36,950 --> 00:13:40,110
And he named the month of August after

335
00:13:40,110 --> 00:13:46,210
himself because he knew that Julius Caesar named

336
00:13:46,210 --> 00:13:47,150
July after himself.

337
00:13:47,310 --> 00:13:50,270
And so it's just really about himself.

338
00:13:51,490 --> 00:13:53,450
And listen, Augustus too, listen to what it

339
00:13:53,450 --> 00:13:53,710
means.

340
00:13:53,970 --> 00:14:00,530
Exalted, increased, great, magnificent, and even illustrious.

341
00:14:01,490 --> 00:14:03,310
This is who we're talking about.

342
00:14:03,310 --> 00:14:05,350
But I love that Luke brought him into

343
00:14:05,350 --> 00:14:07,530
the picture because here comes the king of

344
00:14:07,530 --> 00:14:09,310
the world, king of kings, Lord of lords,

345
00:14:10,110 --> 00:14:11,770
creator of all of heaven and earth.

346
00:14:11,910 --> 00:14:16,190
And he becomes, he comes word made flesh

347
00:14:16,190 --> 00:14:17,190
born of a virgin.

348
00:14:18,110 --> 00:14:20,450
And when he comes on the scene, you've

349
00:14:20,450 --> 00:14:24,110
got the world ruler, world leader in Caesar

350
00:14:24,110 --> 00:14:24,630
Augustus.

351
00:14:24,670 --> 00:14:25,750
And this is what he looks like.

352
00:14:26,410 --> 00:14:28,730
And then the Lord and their polar opposites.

353
00:14:28,810 --> 00:14:30,930
And I'm praying we'd see things like this

354
00:14:30,930 --> 00:14:33,290
in scripture, see the stark difference that the

355
00:14:33,290 --> 00:14:34,930
eternal word of God highlights to us and

356
00:14:34,930 --> 00:14:36,750
run to the Jesus way.

357
00:14:37,950 --> 00:14:43,860
And so I love this.

358
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:44,580
Look at this.

359
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:45,760
Yeah, I have here.

360
00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:49,980
Jesus, he came into nothing and left this

361
00:14:49,980 --> 00:14:51,140
earth with nothing.

362
00:14:55,370 --> 00:14:58,090
He came by way of a manger and

363
00:14:58,090 --> 00:14:59,870
rode out on a borrowed donkey.

364
00:15:00,670 --> 00:15:03,070
This is the Lord, Caesar Augustus.

365
00:15:03,190 --> 00:15:04,990
Even make sure you know before he checks

366
00:15:04,990 --> 00:15:06,570
out with a final quote of one of

367
00:15:06,570 --> 00:15:07,230
his famous ones.

368
00:15:08,150 --> 00:15:09,530
You know, I came to Rome with bricks.

369
00:15:09,610 --> 00:15:12,070
I leave you, you know, one of marble.

370
00:15:12,610 --> 00:15:15,910
And he writes a autobiography upon himself of

371
00:15:15,910 --> 00:15:18,550
the divine deeds of myself, you know, and

372
00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:21,490
here comes the Lord born in a manger,

373
00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:24,650
came into nothing and left, riding out on

374
00:15:24,650 --> 00:15:26,250
a borrowed donkey, left with nothing.

375
00:15:26,430 --> 00:15:30,890
Even his mother who was with him, his

376
00:15:30,890 --> 00:15:33,290
entire upbringing, he even leaves her with John

377
00:15:33,290 --> 00:15:33,710
the beloved.

378
00:15:34,710 --> 00:15:36,250
He's so cared about mankind.

379
00:15:37,530 --> 00:15:42,530
He was even named Jesus, which that means

380
00:15:42,530 --> 00:15:42,870
savior.

381
00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:46,370
I just wanna show us this picture of

382
00:15:46,370 --> 00:15:47,950
like, yes, help me Lord go this way.

383
00:15:48,330 --> 00:15:49,190
You know, more in my life.

384
00:15:50,290 --> 00:15:54,110
Your name means savior with the meaning that

385
00:15:54,110 --> 00:15:56,530
the whole reason you're coming is for others.

386
00:15:57,690 --> 00:15:59,790
Savior has nothing to do, it's to save

387
00:15:59,790 --> 00:16:00,130
others.

388
00:16:00,290 --> 00:16:01,190
Like that's why I'm here.

389
00:16:01,730 --> 00:16:04,630
Augustus, illustrious, great, magnificent.

390
00:16:04,670 --> 00:16:06,670
Look at me, I'm amazing.

391
00:16:06,910 --> 00:16:09,030
Look what I've done, listen to my divine

392
00:16:09,030 --> 00:16:09,810
deeds of me.

393
00:16:10,670 --> 00:16:13,270
Jesus comes in his very naming savior.

394
00:16:13,790 --> 00:16:17,530
I'm coming, I'm leaving everything, Philippians two, emptying

395
00:16:17,530 --> 00:16:20,410
myself of my divinity and I'm coming for

396
00:16:20,410 --> 00:16:23,070
my prized possession in humanity.

397
00:16:23,790 --> 00:16:25,450
He gives himself and I come in a

398
00:16:25,450 --> 00:16:27,410
manger and I leave riding out on a

399
00:16:27,410 --> 00:16:28,110
borrowed donkey.

400
00:16:28,330 --> 00:16:29,170
I don't own anything.

401
00:16:30,670 --> 00:16:33,150
Selfless, gives up his entire life for others.

402
00:16:33,430 --> 00:16:35,030
You see the difference here, I love right

403
00:16:35,030 --> 00:16:35,610
out of the gate.

404
00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:38,790
When Jesus hits the globe, he comes born

405
00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:40,090
of a virgin and the word is made

406
00:16:40,090 --> 00:16:40,610
flesh.

407
00:16:40,630 --> 00:16:43,070
You have the ruling leader of the day

408
00:16:43,070 --> 00:16:46,110
in Caesar Augustus, illustrious, magnificent, divine deeds of

409
00:16:46,110 --> 00:16:46,350
me.

410
00:16:47,330 --> 00:16:50,270
You know, and the Lord comes in hidden,

411
00:16:50,650 --> 00:16:52,970
no room in a manger and they're polar

412
00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:53,990
opposites is my point.

413
00:16:54,090 --> 00:16:57,930
The kingdom way is so anti this world

414
00:16:57,930 --> 00:17:02,990
system, so anti mankind's leanings and it's so

415
00:17:02,990 --> 00:17:03,369
beautiful.

416
00:17:03,550 --> 00:17:07,250
I have here true lowliness in the earth

417
00:17:07,630 --> 00:17:11,150
that simultaneously gives its life up for others

418
00:17:11,569 --> 00:17:14,190
is seen as great and prominent in heaven.

419
00:17:14,490 --> 00:17:17,470
See heaven looks down and sees prominence in

420
00:17:17,470 --> 00:17:24,250
lowliness and greatness in humility and importance in

421
00:17:24,250 --> 00:17:24,970
selflessness.

422
00:17:25,690 --> 00:17:30,170
The world looks over that and makes no

423
00:17:30,170 --> 00:17:30,750
room for them.

424
00:17:30,790 --> 00:17:32,030
You need to go find a manger, but

425
00:17:32,030 --> 00:17:34,990
Caesar, the world gets caught up in food

426
00:17:34,990 --> 00:17:40,410
and bows to and honors and places value

427
00:17:40,410 --> 00:17:42,650
on illustrious and divine deeds and oh, wow,

428
00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:43,530
you probably are amazing.

429
00:17:43,610 --> 00:17:44,890
You wrote a book on yourself, you know?

430
00:17:45,350 --> 00:17:48,090
And so let us run from that.

431
00:17:48,290 --> 00:17:49,450
We need to run to the heaven way

432
00:17:49,450 --> 00:17:51,450
for his glory.

433
00:17:54,970 --> 00:17:57,450
I love this, yeah, so Jesus meaning savior,

434
00:17:57,830 --> 00:18:00,390
his very name means I'm coming for others.

435
00:18:01,190 --> 00:18:04,250
Wow, yet Augustus is all arrows and fingers

436
00:18:04,250 --> 00:18:04,910
pointing to me.

437
00:18:05,550 --> 00:18:09,930
Illustrious, magnificent, speaks of look at me, how

438
00:18:09,930 --> 00:18:11,170
special I am.

439
00:18:12,650 --> 00:18:14,210
And while you're at it, go ahead and

440
00:18:14,210 --> 00:18:16,370
notice what all I've accomplished.

441
00:18:17,650 --> 00:18:19,350
And by the way, I have a new

442
00:18:19,350 --> 00:18:21,850
book out about me called The Divine Ways

443
00:18:21,850 --> 00:18:22,250
of Me.

444
00:18:23,490 --> 00:18:25,390
Actually, go ahead and buy as many copies

445
00:18:25,390 --> 00:18:26,710
and tell all your friends about it.

446
00:18:26,770 --> 00:18:28,390
So my book about me will climb the

447
00:18:28,390 --> 00:18:31,530
charts, hopefully, ranking as a number one New

448
00:18:31,530 --> 00:18:34,190
York Times bestseller so I can look even

449
00:18:34,190 --> 00:18:36,510
more special in the eyes of everyone else

450
00:18:36,510 --> 00:18:37,130
but heaven.

451
00:18:39,110 --> 00:18:42,650
See, I'm coming at something specifically that's not

452
00:18:42,650 --> 00:18:44,190
godly and it's not the way we wanna

453
00:18:44,190 --> 00:18:44,550
go.

454
00:18:45,090 --> 00:18:46,830
And I love that he gets brought into

455
00:18:46,830 --> 00:18:49,670
the story in Luke two because it's totally

456
00:18:49,670 --> 00:18:52,550
the polar opposite of our king found in

457
00:18:52,550 --> 00:18:53,470
the Lord Jesus Christ.

458
00:18:54,410 --> 00:18:56,650
And so he's so hemmed up on himself.

459
00:18:57,650 --> 00:18:59,950
And I have here that I mentioned earlier,

460
00:19:00,110 --> 00:19:02,350
Jesus allows others to write about himself.

461
00:19:03,450 --> 00:19:06,790
Jesus could have wrote the most phenomenal books,

462
00:19:07,410 --> 00:19:09,190
manuscripts we ever saw his God.

463
00:19:10,670 --> 00:19:11,830
Never wrote a thing.

464
00:19:12,110 --> 00:19:14,990
He lets other people write about himself and

465
00:19:14,990 --> 00:19:17,290
it becomes and remains the number one book

466
00:19:17,290 --> 00:19:18,670
in the world, the word of God.

467
00:19:18,670 --> 00:19:18,770
And so he's a man who writes about

468
00:19:18,770 --> 00:19:22,230
himself While Augustus writes his own self-proclaimed

469
00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:24,510
manuscript that ends up flying like a rock

470
00:19:24,510 --> 00:19:26,250
in the history of time and virtually no

471
00:19:26,250 --> 00:19:27,010
one knows about it.

472
00:19:27,350 --> 00:19:28,490
You see the difference there?

473
00:19:28,930 --> 00:19:30,110
It's a big difference.

474
00:19:31,050 --> 00:19:32,010
Lord, help us.

475
00:19:33,130 --> 00:19:36,150
Let's first learn from this vastly contrasted picture

476
00:19:36,150 --> 00:19:38,310
and distinction of what true leadership, authority and

477
00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:39,850
governance looks like from heaven's point of view

478
00:19:39,850 --> 00:19:40,610
and follow Jesus.

479
00:19:41,270 --> 00:19:42,530
So I just wanna point that out while

480
00:19:42,530 --> 00:19:43,110
we're here.

481
00:19:43,110 --> 00:19:46,010
Verse one was Caesar Augustus since he made

482
00:19:46,010 --> 00:19:48,370
the story and it's true to be in

483
00:19:48,370 --> 00:19:48,810
history.

484
00:19:49,470 --> 00:19:51,030
It is a big, big difference.

485
00:19:51,130 --> 00:19:52,810
And we want to look nothing like this

486
00:19:52,810 --> 00:19:56,250
world system, the means by which everybody climbs

487
00:19:56,250 --> 00:19:57,830
the ladder and look at me and all

488
00:19:57,830 --> 00:20:00,970
the autobiographies and awards and accolades.

489
00:20:01,070 --> 00:20:02,230
We wanna be like Jesus.

490
00:20:03,510 --> 00:20:05,630
Manger bound and borrowed donkeys.

491
00:20:09,820 --> 00:20:12,680
So anyway, that quick one, another one then

492
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,120
we'll jump into our 11 points.

493
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:15,620
And we'll pray.

494
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,880
But the next kind of parallel I can

495
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,740
see that I just wanna encourage us to

496
00:20:20,740 --> 00:20:23,100
keep watching for because we're getting close to

497
00:20:23,100 --> 00:20:25,840
the Lord's second final coming that you see

498
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,460
actually in his first coming is the end

499
00:20:29,460 --> 00:20:33,120
time one world order parallel and kind of

500
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:35,600
controlling, you know, he wanted the whole world

501
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:36,180
registered.

502
00:20:37,140 --> 00:20:40,120
And so, you know, you saw it in

503
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:41,380
verse one and it came to pass in

504
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,820
those days that a decree went out from

505
00:20:42,820 --> 00:20:45,160
Caesar Augustus that all the world should be

506
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:45,640
registered.

507
00:20:46,540 --> 00:20:48,940
So we hit character first in the difference

508
00:20:48,940 --> 00:20:51,060
of leadership models from heaven to the earth

509
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:52,420
and vice versa.

510
00:20:52,420 --> 00:20:55,220
But now the whole world's being registered by

511
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:55,840
this ruler.

512
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,640
And why, like what's going on there?

513
00:20:58,660 --> 00:21:01,080
And why is Luke, you know, bringing this

514
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:01,760
into the picture?

515
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,160
But a census of the world, basically what

516
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,020
it is is a count of people for

517
00:21:08,020 --> 00:21:10,880
not only the control and rule, but for

518
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,560
the purpose of taxing, meaning there's financial gain

519
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,240
involved in the motives here.

520
00:21:17,940 --> 00:21:20,180
And, you know, which we know the Bible,

521
00:21:20,460 --> 00:21:23,280
just a quick again, emphasis on the parallel

522
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,620
is as it gets near the Lord's return,

523
00:21:25,660 --> 00:21:27,560
we're gonna see a very similar model repeat

524
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,120
itself in, and the Bible's clear on this.

525
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,540
This is not news or to anyone that

526
00:21:34,540 --> 00:21:37,820
the world's quickly going to mirror this same

527
00:21:37,820 --> 00:21:41,580
model of a one world order and register,

528
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,040
if you will, and one world currency.

529
00:21:45,140 --> 00:21:46,720
And so as it goes there quickly and

530
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,060
you see this come back on the scene,

531
00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:48,480
no.

532
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,200
And this is when the Lord came in

533
00:21:50,740 --> 00:21:52,020
and he's coming again quickly.

534
00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:53,500
And that's where it's trying to go.

535
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:54,880
You know, we're already starting to see this

536
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:55,640
in different expressions.

537
00:21:55,780 --> 00:21:57,340
I'm not gonna get us bogged down here,

538
00:21:57,900 --> 00:22:00,180
but many think in 2020, there were certain

539
00:22:00,180 --> 00:22:02,480
things starting and it is what it is.

540
00:22:02,540 --> 00:22:04,840
But nevertheless, you're gonna see this same type

541
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,040
of, I think application be implemented of like

542
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,760
a one world register, like let's count, see

543
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,980
how many we got, turn in normally there's

544
00:22:14,980 --> 00:22:18,260
financial, there's definitely control and rule involved, but

545
00:22:18,260 --> 00:22:19,620
also financial gain.

546
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,100
So if we know how many we got,

547
00:22:22,260 --> 00:22:24,740
we know how many we can tax and

548
00:22:24,740 --> 00:22:27,660
how it's gonna look in the end is

549
00:22:27,660 --> 00:22:30,140
one world order and one world currency.

550
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:32,360
The Bible talks about that being the mark

551
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:35,220
of the beast and that's also brought up

552
00:22:35,220 --> 00:22:36,380
again, I think in Revelation 14.

553
00:22:36,380 --> 00:22:39,540
But anyway, just think it's important to note

554
00:22:39,540 --> 00:22:39,980
that.

555
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,500
Yeah, I have here, I just think it's

556
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:45,480
interesting that the gospel of Luke gives us

557
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,460
a unique connection and looking at this from

558
00:22:47,460 --> 00:22:48,660
the Lord's first coming, that will be a

559
00:22:48,660 --> 00:22:50,340
connecting puzzle piece and sign of the second

560
00:22:50,340 --> 00:22:50,940
final coming.

561
00:22:52,220 --> 00:22:58,200
So let's go to verse three.

562
00:22:59,620 --> 00:23:02,360
So all went to be registered, everyone to

563
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:05,880
his own city, and then continuing on to

564
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:06,440
verse six.

565
00:23:06,580 --> 00:23:08,640
Joseph also went up from Galilee out of

566
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,740
the city of Nazareth into Judea.

567
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,940
And this is where it'll start hitting home

568
00:23:12,940 --> 00:23:15,940
a little more personally and corporately.

569
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:16,780
We'll see both.

570
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,560
To the city of David, which is called

571
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,220
Bethlehem because he was of the house and

572
00:23:23,220 --> 00:23:25,060
lineage of David to be registered with Mary,

573
00:23:25,140 --> 00:23:26,960
his betrothed wife, who was with child, verse

574
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:27,220
six.

575
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,420
So it was that while they were there,

576
00:23:30,020 --> 00:23:30,980
just wanna stop there.

577
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,080
And encourage us, this is kind of getting

578
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:42,820
into step one, but finding our there, this

579
00:23:42,820 --> 00:23:44,600
is very, very important because you see, this

580
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,100
is always where God's will can be birthed

581
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:48,040
and come into fruition.

582
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,060
But it says, while they were there, back

583
00:23:52,060 --> 00:23:53,600
in verse three, it says, everybody had to

584
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,660
go to their own city.

585
00:23:54,740 --> 00:23:56,400
And I just wanna personalize that, that in

586
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,600
this hour, it's super important that we make

587
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,380
sure we're in our own city.

588
00:24:02,380 --> 00:24:04,080
Where's the Lord calling you?

589
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:05,960
And where is your there?

590
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,980
This is step one, finding your there.

591
00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:12,440
Because often if we miss this step, you

592
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,280
can see once the days were complete, she

593
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,380
brought forth a son.

594
00:24:16,540 --> 00:24:18,700
The Lord can't be brought forth through our

595
00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:21,340
life if we're not in our there, our

596
00:24:21,340 --> 00:24:22,460
own, you know?

597
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,260
And this ties back to God's voice to

598
00:24:25,260 --> 00:24:25,440
us.

599
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,020
We know that.

600
00:24:26,220 --> 00:24:27,760
We've got to hear the voice of God

601
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,720
now clearer than ever.

602
00:24:30,260 --> 00:24:35,640
Our decisions nowadays cannot be based on circumstances

603
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:36,420
or preferences.

604
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:41,400
They must be founded, rooted and made by

605
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,620
and through the voice of God, written and

606
00:24:43,620 --> 00:24:45,060
spoken relationally, you know?

607
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:49,520
But I have here, where is your there?

608
00:24:49,660 --> 00:24:51,320
I really want us to ask God as

609
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,060
we're, you know, I'm preaching this word and

610
00:24:54,060 --> 00:24:56,880
teaching it that we open our heart up

611
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,140
and say, yes, help me, Lord, help me

612
00:24:58,140 --> 00:24:58,700
receive.

613
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,780
You know, I want to be changed.

614
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,060
I don't want to just sit here and

615
00:25:03,060 --> 00:25:04,120
listen to another message.

616
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,300
May we never get that way.

617
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:07,860
When the eternal word of God's coming forth

618
00:25:07,860 --> 00:25:10,460
by the spirit, I pray we'd begin to

619
00:25:10,460 --> 00:25:14,140
ask to reassess, am I in my there?

620
00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:16,340
Because this is critical.

621
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,820
You saw time and time again when people

622
00:25:17,820 --> 00:25:18,620
would miss it.

623
00:25:21,300 --> 00:25:23,960
God cannot, his son can't be birthed through

624
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,960
you for purpose and destiny if you're not

625
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:26,840
in the right place.

626
00:25:26,940 --> 00:25:27,960
Timing matters, all this.

627
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:28,880
We're gonna get to that in a second.

628
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,020
But, you know, you saw it with Ruth

629
00:25:31,020 --> 00:25:31,500
and Orpah.

630
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,480
Ruth found her there.

631
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:37,400
Orpah chose wrongly because of preference.

632
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,080
You must make your decisions off of what

633
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,700
God says, not by what statistics are showing,

634
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,160
what everybody's saying, what everybody's doing.

635
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,580
So where is your there?

636
00:25:48,020 --> 00:25:49,440
We want to make sure you have this

637
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,140
clear because you can find yourself going around

638
00:25:52,140 --> 00:25:53,960
mountains for quite a while if we're not

639
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:54,180
there.

640
00:25:58,750 --> 00:26:01,390
I have here, it's so important to find

641
00:26:01,390 --> 00:26:02,970
and arrive at your there.

642
00:26:03,090 --> 00:26:03,650
I'll read it again.

643
00:26:03,770 --> 00:26:05,610
It says, so it was that while they

644
00:26:05,610 --> 00:26:10,090
were there, the days were completed for her

645
00:26:10,090 --> 00:26:11,850
to be delivered and she brought forth her

646
00:26:11,850 --> 00:26:12,870
firstborn son.

647
00:26:12,950 --> 00:26:16,330
It's important first step that we find our

648
00:26:16,330 --> 00:26:16,670
there.

649
00:26:16,810 --> 00:26:19,930
I'm telling you, often God's waiting for Jacob

650
00:26:19,930 --> 00:26:21,790
to get to Bethel and he says, once

651
00:26:21,790 --> 00:26:23,150
I was in that place, if you read

652
00:26:23,150 --> 00:26:25,350
in Genesis 28, it was that place, location

653
00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:25,870
mattered.

654
00:26:26,450 --> 00:26:27,230
Where was I when I was there?

655
00:26:27,230 --> 00:26:27,690
Where are you?

656
00:26:28,490 --> 00:26:31,030
Where is your there for the Lord to

657
00:26:31,030 --> 00:26:31,870
be birthed through you?

658
00:26:33,270 --> 00:26:35,170
And yeah, like I touched on earlier, I

659
00:26:35,170 --> 00:26:37,710
have in circumstances are never the determiner for

660
00:26:37,710 --> 00:26:38,590
where your there is.

661
00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:39,470
You can't go by that.

662
00:26:39,550 --> 00:26:42,030
They'll play into it sometimes, but they can't

663
00:26:42,030 --> 00:26:44,850
be like the main staple support.

664
00:26:44,970 --> 00:26:45,870
His voice has to be.

665
00:26:46,810 --> 00:26:49,570
Preferences should never become the decision maker for

666
00:26:49,570 --> 00:26:51,270
the destination of where your there is.

667
00:26:52,670 --> 00:26:55,650
If you are uncertain where your there is

668
00:26:55,650 --> 00:26:58,010
or if you are in the correct there,

669
00:26:58,350 --> 00:27:00,770
that you're meant to be and clear everything

670
00:27:00,770 --> 00:27:01,890
back off the table.

671
00:27:01,990 --> 00:27:03,050
I just wanna encourage you guys, I do

672
00:27:03,050 --> 00:27:06,030
this often, just to reassess in prayer before

673
00:27:06,030 --> 00:27:08,990
the Lord and make sure I'm where I

674
00:27:08,990 --> 00:27:10,950
need to be as far as timing, decision

675
00:27:10,950 --> 00:27:11,690
-making, all that.

676
00:27:12,810 --> 00:27:14,510
And sometimes you just have to clean the

677
00:27:14,510 --> 00:27:17,450
slate again of the place of prayer before

678
00:27:17,450 --> 00:27:18,610
God and hear clearly.

679
00:27:19,590 --> 00:27:22,270
Get all your preferences off the table, move

680
00:27:22,270 --> 00:27:25,810
them over here, get circumstances out of there.

681
00:27:25,870 --> 00:27:27,030
This is a big one I hear so

682
00:27:27,030 --> 00:27:28,290
many people get tripped up over.

683
00:27:28,650 --> 00:27:30,950
Well, you know, yeah, I'm waiting for God,

684
00:27:31,030 --> 00:27:32,330
but he knows it's gotta be this and

685
00:27:32,330 --> 00:27:32,470
that.

686
00:27:33,190 --> 00:27:33,910
Says who?

687
00:27:35,030 --> 00:27:37,810
You don't have the right to put circumstances

688
00:27:37,810 --> 00:27:40,430
into like your checklist or something when it

689
00:27:40,430 --> 00:27:41,670
comes to the will of God.

690
00:27:42,810 --> 00:27:43,870
He says, deny yours.

691
00:27:43,910 --> 00:27:45,450
If you're gonna really follow the Lord, you

692
00:27:45,450 --> 00:27:47,310
don't get to put in there, but Lord,

693
00:27:47,510 --> 00:27:48,330
He loves us.

694
00:27:48,970 --> 00:27:50,790
He'll answer prayers, I'm for that.

695
00:27:50,790 --> 00:27:53,170
But when you start asking for His will,

696
00:27:53,950 --> 00:27:55,930
I'm telling you that can be the quickest

697
00:27:55,930 --> 00:27:56,870
thing to throw you off.

698
00:27:56,950 --> 00:27:59,450
You start gauging it off of how the

699
00:27:59,450 --> 00:28:01,590
circumstances are or if it plays in my

700
00:28:01,590 --> 00:28:02,950
favor or not, or if it's how I

701
00:28:02,950 --> 00:28:04,210
like it, is the temperature right?

702
00:28:04,350 --> 00:28:05,650
Do I like this country or not?

703
00:28:05,670 --> 00:28:06,190
It doesn't matter.

704
00:28:06,770 --> 00:28:08,290
If He says, go to Russia tomorrow, you

705
00:28:08,290 --> 00:28:08,530
go.

706
00:28:09,510 --> 00:28:12,190
You wanna hear Him clearly, but you don't

707
00:28:12,190 --> 00:28:15,050
get to say, well, but my 401k or

708
00:28:15,050 --> 00:28:16,310
all those years of college, I've just got

709
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,950
one more year, I need to finish that

710
00:28:17,950 --> 00:28:20,870
because on paper, I could waste all of

711
00:28:20,870 --> 00:28:20,990
it.

712
00:28:21,150 --> 00:28:23,010
No, when He speaks, you go.

713
00:28:24,350 --> 00:28:25,710
When He speaks, you obey.

714
00:28:26,670 --> 00:28:28,730
And if that's too high a cost, then

715
00:28:28,730 --> 00:28:32,530
that's fine, but don't expect for His son

716
00:28:32,530 --> 00:28:33,550
to be birthed through you.

717
00:28:34,070 --> 00:28:36,230
Don't expect to bring things forth in God's

718
00:28:36,230 --> 00:28:36,470
will.

719
00:28:37,310 --> 00:28:40,110
You're there is very important, hearing and making

720
00:28:40,110 --> 00:28:41,730
sure, am I in, am I there?

721
00:28:42,690 --> 00:28:45,810
And deception can warp this as well.

722
00:28:45,910 --> 00:28:47,430
We just wanna be clear, unbiased, let everything

723
00:28:47,430 --> 00:28:47,710
go.

724
00:28:47,710 --> 00:28:50,030
All your preconceived ideas of how I thought

725
00:28:50,030 --> 00:28:51,410
it would look or who I thought I

726
00:28:51,410 --> 00:28:53,270
was supposed to be with or how I

727
00:28:53,270 --> 00:28:54,570
thought I was supposed to be being used

728
00:28:54,570 --> 00:28:56,970
by now, whatever, you gotta let all that

729
00:28:56,970 --> 00:28:57,790
go constantly.

730
00:28:58,290 --> 00:28:59,630
I constantly do this before the Lord.

731
00:28:59,950 --> 00:29:02,490
Clean slate, I don't care, Lord, I don't

732
00:29:02,490 --> 00:29:02,590
care.

733
00:29:02,710 --> 00:29:05,950
Take it all, multiply it all, it don't

734
00:29:05,950 --> 00:29:06,370
matter to me.

735
00:29:06,890 --> 00:29:10,870
I've gotta please you and be, am I

736
00:29:10,870 --> 00:29:11,170
there?

737
00:29:13,940 --> 00:29:15,420
And timing and all that, there's many more

738
00:29:15,420 --> 00:29:16,960
that apply, but that first step is super

739
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:17,220
key.

740
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,800
So yeah, go back to His voice alone,

741
00:29:21,860 --> 00:29:23,080
I have here in my notes.

742
00:29:23,180 --> 00:29:25,000
Go back to His voice, His pure, what

743
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,060
did He say in the beginning, what did

744
00:29:26,060 --> 00:29:26,520
He say?

745
00:29:27,460 --> 00:29:29,700
Because often along the way, other opinions come

746
00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:32,780
in, we'll let our thoughts play into it,

747
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,460
how we thought, all of our assumptions, all

748
00:29:37,460 --> 00:29:39,140
that, none of that matters, none of it

749
00:29:39,140 --> 00:29:39,400
matters.

750
00:29:39,540 --> 00:29:43,100
The most unbiased place in prayer is the

751
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:44,780
most productive because you can hear Him clearly.

752
00:29:45,180 --> 00:29:47,200
You get all of your soulless desires, wants,

753
00:29:48,540 --> 00:29:50,340
perceptions, opinions, all that, none of that matters.

754
00:29:50,420 --> 00:29:51,980
You just want Him, you want His voice.

755
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,160
That's the pure, clean way, and that's how

756
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,020
His Son gets brought forth.

757
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,680
That's why Mary and Joseph were gold.

758
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:58,700
Mary, so be it unto me.

759
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,380
Joseph's like, yep, every time the angel spoke

760
00:30:00,380 --> 00:30:02,380
in a dream, yep, gone, they wouldn't ask

761
00:30:02,380 --> 00:30:02,800
questions.

762
00:30:03,860 --> 00:30:04,660
Well, I don't know if I wanna go

763
00:30:04,660 --> 00:30:07,220
there because, I've heard this so many times,

764
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,480
what we, I don't feel right.

765
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:11,580
I'm telling you, you wanna get all that

766
00:30:11,580 --> 00:30:12,780
out of the way, you're not gonna hear

767
00:30:12,780 --> 00:30:14,380
right, and you're gonna end up like Orpah,

768
00:30:15,140 --> 00:30:16,180
who chose wrongly.

769
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:17,980
You can read it back in the book

770
00:30:17,980 --> 00:30:18,340
of Ruth.

771
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,740
They were both given a fork in the

772
00:30:19,740 --> 00:30:22,280
road, and Orpah chose wrongly because of preference

773
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,980
and what she was familiar with and how

774
00:30:23,980 --> 00:30:25,180
she thought it was supposed to be, and

775
00:30:25,180 --> 00:30:26,080
you never hear of her again.

776
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,840
Barnabas did it in Acts chapter 16.

777
00:30:28,980 --> 00:30:30,540
He wanted to bring Mark, and it wasn't

778
00:30:30,540 --> 00:30:30,980
ideal.

779
00:30:31,460 --> 00:30:32,260
You never hear of him again.

780
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:38,820
And so, anyway, the first one, first step,

781
00:30:39,140 --> 00:30:41,980
let's find our there because this is what

782
00:30:41,980 --> 00:30:42,740
sets it in motion.

783
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,140
The Lord's waiting for Jacob to get to

784
00:30:44,140 --> 00:30:47,360
Bethel because it was in that place.

785
00:30:48,140 --> 00:30:49,520
And as soon as he hit that place,

786
00:30:49,540 --> 00:30:50,280
it triggered something.

787
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:55,780
And so, point two from this, start family.

788
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:57,900
We're talking about in the context of the

789
00:30:57,900 --> 00:30:59,140
Lord coming into the earth.

790
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,620
And I love this, that Jesus Christ, of

791
00:31:01,620 --> 00:31:03,340
all ways he could have come into the

792
00:31:03,340 --> 00:31:05,620
earth, he comes through family.

793
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,320
And the Lord's really on this in this

794
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:08,760
hour.

795
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,160
I don't wanna get ahead of myself or

796
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,680
my notes, but I have here, I love

797
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,820
that Jesus was born in the context of

798
00:31:14,820 --> 00:31:15,240
family.

799
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,180
So find your there, and then look to

800
00:31:19,180 --> 00:31:20,000
start family.

801
00:31:20,540 --> 00:31:23,900
Look to get tethered into and sewn into

802
00:31:23,900 --> 00:31:24,980
the fabric of family.

803
00:31:25,260 --> 00:31:28,960
I'm telling you, like I know it clearer

804
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,420
now than ever, and it's only becoming more

805
00:31:30,420 --> 00:31:30,640
real.

806
00:31:31,540 --> 00:31:33,260
God's wind and breath and favor is upon

807
00:31:33,260 --> 00:31:33,740
family.

808
00:31:34,020 --> 00:31:35,420
Always has been, you see it in the

809
00:31:35,420 --> 00:31:38,060
word, but it's hitting an all-time high

810
00:31:38,060 --> 00:31:39,180
as things are wrapping up.

811
00:31:40,300 --> 00:31:42,100
And if, I am getting ahead of my

812
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:44,760
notes, but if you're doing anything outside of

813
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,380
not going further into the family of God

814
00:31:48,380 --> 00:31:50,320
and getting sewn into the fabric of family,

815
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,420
I promise you, you're gonna miss the boat.

816
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,340
You're gonna miss the wind of God.

817
00:31:58,100 --> 00:32:01,740
So step one, find your there, whatever that

818
00:32:01,740 --> 00:32:01,900
is.

819
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,320
And I know I'm talking to many people

820
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,020
across the world.

821
00:32:04,140 --> 00:32:06,020
Whatever that is, could be a home church

822
00:32:06,020 --> 00:32:09,480
in Alaska, could be wherever.

823
00:32:11,900 --> 00:32:14,240
Wherever God's speaking to you, find your there,

824
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,800
and then point, part two, point two, start

825
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:18,320
family.

826
00:32:19,220 --> 00:32:21,360
I love that Jesus was born in the

827
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:22,280
context of family.

828
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,340
He could have rode a meteor down to

829
00:32:24,340 --> 00:32:26,020
the earth and just popped on the scene

830
00:32:26,020 --> 00:32:27,720
and popped out of the woods like Melchizedek

831
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,200
in the Old Testament, said, I'm here.

832
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:30,420
Divine ruler.

833
00:32:31,060 --> 00:32:34,340
No, he chose to be born lowly into

834
00:32:34,340 --> 00:32:36,500
family, and then model that.

835
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,460
I have here, this is what he has

836
00:32:39,460 --> 00:32:39,560
come to do.

837
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,040
This is what he's coming again to and

838
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,420
going to be born through.

839
00:32:42,900 --> 00:32:44,920
So again, we're using the Lord's first birth

840
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:50,240
and coming to reflect into his, I believe,

841
00:32:50,380 --> 00:32:52,840
some moves coming to by God in the

842
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,840
earth that are going to forerun his second

843
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,180
coming in parallels.

844
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,580
But this is what he's coming again to

845
00:32:58,580 --> 00:33:00,040
and going to be born through, family.

846
00:33:01,820 --> 00:33:05,000
Family is actually the means by which he

847
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,620
is preparing his bride right now.

848
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,060
It's one of the means, one of the

849
00:33:08,060 --> 00:33:09,280
main means he's doing it by.

850
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,560
He's using family to prepare us for the

851
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:14,400
eternal family.

852
00:33:16,340 --> 00:33:18,660
If you cannot be threaded into the fabric

853
00:33:18,660 --> 00:33:23,480
of family now, your eternal placement into the

854
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,320
everlasting family will not be so astonishing.

855
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,800
Because a lot of us, if we're honest,

856
00:33:29,860 --> 00:33:31,540
we run from this type thing because, well,

857
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:32,980
I don't like so-and-so or we

858
00:33:32,980 --> 00:33:34,460
don't quite get along or whatever it is.

859
00:33:34,900 --> 00:33:35,640
It doesn't matter.

860
00:33:35,740 --> 00:33:37,080
This is why the whole death to self

861
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,960
that we've been coming through here at the

862
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,000
house is so key.

863
00:33:41,140 --> 00:33:43,520
We've gotta get over ourselves and go after

864
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,780
what matters to God.

865
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:50,700
What matters to him is his family, his

866
00:33:50,700 --> 00:33:51,020
kingdom.

867
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,460
They've embodied it since before all of time,

868
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:55,800
the Father, the Son, the Spirit.

869
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,860
And we run to it, not from it.

870
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,740
I know it's easier sometimes just to isolate

871
00:34:00,740 --> 00:34:04,520
and not deal with attitudes or offenses or

872
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:05,540
shortcomings of others.

873
00:34:06,020 --> 00:34:07,420
But this is not what God's in.

874
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,300
If you start isolating yourself and running from

875
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:15,380
these things, you're gonna find yourself disconnected from

876
00:34:15,380 --> 00:34:16,280
the grace and wind of God.

877
00:34:16,380 --> 00:34:17,840
I'm telling you, his wind, grace and favor

878
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,139
is upon the family of God.

879
00:34:19,739 --> 00:34:21,699
And it's gonna look different from house to

880
00:34:21,699 --> 00:34:22,800
house and model to model.

881
00:34:22,900 --> 00:34:23,340
That's great.

882
00:34:24,300 --> 00:34:26,719
Nevertheless, you wanna be one of the threads

883
00:34:27,260 --> 00:34:29,139
getting sewn into the fabric of family right

884
00:34:29,139 --> 00:34:29,320
now.

885
00:34:29,940 --> 00:34:31,480
It's what God's building unto.

886
00:34:34,060 --> 00:34:36,460
But a quick disclaimer from Matthew 10.

887
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,239
A quick disclaimer from Matthew 10 is that

888
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:45,820
when I say family, I mean the family

889
00:34:45,820 --> 00:34:46,500
of God.

890
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,239
Because Jesus says, look, if you love your

891
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:49,500
father or mother more than me, you're not

892
00:34:49,500 --> 00:34:50,179
worthy of the kingdom.

893
00:34:50,420 --> 00:34:51,760
If you love son or daughter more than

894
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:52,699
me, you're not worthy of the kingdom.

895
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,260
So please share that balance.

896
00:34:54,340 --> 00:34:55,620
When I say family, I mean in the

897
00:34:55,620 --> 00:34:58,180
context of loving, knowing and following God and

898
00:34:58,180 --> 00:34:59,140
loving him above all.

899
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,240
Because some people go yes and amen to

900
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:04,380
family, but don't follow Jesus.

901
00:35:04,380 --> 00:35:06,700
And they love their own children more than

902
00:35:06,700 --> 00:35:07,120
the Lord.

903
00:35:07,700 --> 00:35:08,860
And the Bible is clear.

904
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,080
I just wanna be clear on that.

905
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,640
The Lord Jesus out of his mouth said,

906
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,320
if you love your children more than me,

907
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:14,340
you're not worthy of the kingdom.

908
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,880
If you love your father or mother more

909
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,140
than me, you're not worthy of the kingdom.

910
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,480
So when I speak family, I'm speaking at

911
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,640
God over all Jesus, the head of it

912
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:23,900
all.

913
00:35:24,980 --> 00:35:28,540
Which actually ignites and illuminates true family.

914
00:35:28,660 --> 00:35:30,260
You can't without Jesus at the head.

915
00:35:30,900 --> 00:35:33,480
And so you detach from that and start,

916
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:34,680
I'm just being honest.

917
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,140
Some people love God until God calls their

918
00:35:38,140 --> 00:35:39,180
children to the mission field.

919
00:35:39,420 --> 00:35:40,560
And then no, Johnny, I don't know.

920
00:35:41,020 --> 00:35:43,100
At that point, you care more about your

921
00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:45,700
children than God and his voice.

922
00:35:47,020 --> 00:35:49,080
Or some people, God calls them to move

923
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,740
and because they love their family so much,

924
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,000
they won't move away from their parents.

925
00:35:52,620 --> 00:35:53,660
Well, it's gotta be, it has to be.

926
00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:55,400
That's fine, but short circuit your destiny.

927
00:35:58,620 --> 00:36:00,660
Don't bleed that over into other people's lives.

928
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:01,600
The Bible is clear.

929
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:02,860
We must love Jesus above all.

930
00:36:02,860 --> 00:36:04,480
So I just wanna bring that disclaimer quick

931
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,880
and balance really, just balance while I'm talking

932
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:07,480
about family.

933
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,720
Yeah, often too, there are some in ministry,

934
00:36:12,820 --> 00:36:15,360
listen to this, that love the family model

935
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,500
even in ministry more than Jesus.

936
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,000
And this is why the Lord's not fully

937
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:22,900
into what they're doing.

938
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:26,720
Meaning some people are so top heavy on

939
00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:29,400
family that then in the model of that

940
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:36,500
in ministry, that the model becomes so predominant

941
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:40,860
in their mind and focus that the Lord,

942
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:43,500
it usurps the Lord and he can't even

943
00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:44,860
speak into it and guide.

944
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:47,760
And so, and this is where things shift

945
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,760
to the model over the man, capital M,

946
00:36:49,860 --> 00:36:50,340
Jesus Christ.

947
00:36:50,420 --> 00:36:50,920
That's backwards.

948
00:36:51,340 --> 00:36:52,580
He's gotta be over it all.

949
00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:54,300
So it's always the man over the model.

950
00:36:54,860 --> 00:36:57,300
I love different ways the Lord's, the clouds

951
00:36:57,300 --> 00:37:00,060
moved through bodies and expressions and moves throughout

952
00:37:00,060 --> 00:37:00,540
the years.

953
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,640
But we must be careful too that sometimes

954
00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:06,720
we don't allow, it's a little side note,

955
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:14,180
the model to become so prioritized in our

956
00:37:14,180 --> 00:37:18,240
mind as the way that we, it takes

957
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:21,440
precedent over the man, Jesus Christ, it's man

958
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:22,360
over model always.

959
00:37:23,380 --> 00:37:25,380
So, but back to family, I've said this

960
00:37:25,380 --> 00:37:27,300
before and I'll say it again.

961
00:37:27,420 --> 00:37:30,300
Now is not the time to still be

962
00:37:30,300 --> 00:37:32,340
running around looking out for your good old

963
00:37:32,340 --> 00:37:33,600
number one Maverick plan.

964
00:37:33,740 --> 00:37:35,020
Trust me, there's people that are still looking.

965
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,020
Yeah, I wanna connect here, but I wanna

966
00:37:37,020 --> 00:37:39,420
also network here cause this will be better

967
00:37:39,420 --> 00:37:39,800
for me.

968
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:41,700
Keep all my doors open.

969
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:43,820
It doesn't work that way.

970
00:37:44,660 --> 00:37:45,620
I'm telling you.

971
00:37:46,540 --> 00:37:48,900
Let me stick to my good old number

972
00:37:48,900 --> 00:37:50,420
one Maverick plan of what's in it for

973
00:37:50,420 --> 00:37:53,480
you or what's best for you or what,

974
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,180
why didn't they notice me because of my

975
00:37:56,180 --> 00:37:56,580
call?

976
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,160
Everything's like me and what's best for me?

977
00:37:59,220 --> 00:38:00,000
No, it's not about you.

978
00:38:00,140 --> 00:38:01,320
It's family right now.

979
00:38:01,780 --> 00:38:03,900
It's getting over you, loving God and others.

980
00:38:04,460 --> 00:38:06,220
And from that, you start, it starts to

981
00:38:06,220 --> 00:38:06,820
look like family.

982
00:38:06,900 --> 00:38:07,820
And is it ugly sometimes?

983
00:38:08,020 --> 00:38:08,400
Oh yeah.

984
00:38:08,620 --> 00:38:10,860
The Bible says without oxen, the stall stays

985
00:38:10,860 --> 00:38:11,200
clean.

986
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,960
But with the oxen comes great strength.

987
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:18,460
Meaning, but also the stalls get dirty.

988
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,960
Oh yeah, you're gonna have arguments and disagreements

989
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:21,840
and people get offended.

990
00:38:22,420 --> 00:38:25,660
We repent, stay low, forgive and keep moving,

991
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,220
get stronger and we grow together.

992
00:38:27,980 --> 00:38:29,920
But you wanna first make sure where you're

993
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:30,360
there is.

994
00:38:30,420 --> 00:38:32,020
Cause if you're trying to start family and

995
00:38:32,020 --> 00:38:36,280
you're the wrong there, so that's key first.

996
00:38:36,340 --> 00:38:39,040
And we see that right in this passage.

997
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,660
So find you're there when you know that

998
00:38:40,660 --> 00:38:41,000
clearly.

999
00:38:41,980 --> 00:38:43,400
And the only way you know that clearly

1000
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,480
often is to clean your slate in prayer.

1001
00:38:45,580 --> 00:38:46,900
Get all your preferences out of there.

1002
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,580
All your preconceived ideas, how I thought, when

1003
00:38:49,580 --> 00:38:50,840
I thought it was gonna happen.

1004
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:53,340
Trust me, none of that typically lines up

1005
00:38:53,340 --> 00:38:54,100
with God's will.

1006
00:38:55,020 --> 00:38:56,820
You'll get there a lot quicker if you

1007
00:38:56,820 --> 00:38:57,580
just clear that out.

1008
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,340
But once you get to you're there, just

1009
00:39:00,340 --> 00:39:03,120
dig your heels in and start family and

1010
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:04,640
get over you.

1011
00:39:06,900 --> 00:39:09,040
But the people that are still what's in

1012
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,200
it for me and why didn't I get

1013
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,260
noticed and what's in the jealous and somebody

1014
00:39:12,260 --> 00:39:12,840
else get noticed.

1015
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,080
These people are going to get left behind.

1016
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,240
But the shaking that is coming is going

1017
00:39:19,240 --> 00:39:21,440
to pull the rug out from under any

1018
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,880
and everything that is not tethered to the

1019
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:24,680
family of God.

1020
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,860
Or in other words, the body of Christ.

1021
00:39:29,140 --> 00:39:31,000
It's called the body for a reason.

1022
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,780
There's parts, my hand needs my wrist and

1023
00:39:33,780 --> 00:39:34,960
my wrist needs my forearm.

1024
00:39:35,180 --> 00:39:37,080
And my elbow needs my upper arm.

1025
00:39:37,220 --> 00:39:39,400
Like it's all fits together.

1026
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,540
You cannot disconnect and still function and get

1027
00:39:42,540 --> 00:39:43,300
anything done.

1028
00:39:43,940 --> 00:39:46,680
And we still often beg for ease sake

1029
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,520
and our desire alone, selfishness if we're honest,

1030
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,300
we wanna just run from it.

1031
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,680
Or we often wanna pick a few that

1032
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,380
we gel with just right and we click

1033
00:39:57,380 --> 00:39:58,680
with and just cut it off right there.

1034
00:39:58,740 --> 00:39:59,900
That's not God, I'm telling you.

1035
00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:01,000
It's not the Lord.

1036
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:02,980
We wanna get us for no more.

1037
00:40:03,540 --> 00:40:05,380
And then because Johnny over there, he doesn't

1038
00:40:05,380 --> 00:40:06,860
quite get it or see like us.

1039
00:40:07,380 --> 00:40:09,000
He didn't quite get the jokes and the

1040
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,680
socially awkward when Johnny comes in.

1041
00:40:12,180 --> 00:40:12,660
What?

1042
00:40:13,580 --> 00:40:14,840
Or Timmy over here, whoever.

1043
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,260
It doesn't matter about you and what you

1044
00:40:18,260 --> 00:40:18,540
like.

1045
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,480
It's about what Jesus died for and God's

1046
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,680
trying to build and it's a spiritual house.

1047
00:40:24,780 --> 00:40:25,900
We'll go here in a second in first

1048
00:40:25,900 --> 00:40:26,380
Peter two.

1049
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,940
He's bringing living stones together that are all

1050
00:40:30,940 --> 00:40:32,800
tied into the chief cornerstone found in Jesus

1051
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,140
Christ for his glory.

1052
00:40:34,260 --> 00:40:34,820
It's what he's doing.

1053
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:36,220
I love that.

1054
00:40:37,700 --> 00:40:39,580
But we must be fit together.

1055
00:40:39,580 --> 00:40:40,920
Yeah, let's go to first Peter two.

1056
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,320
You can skip down to verse four.

1057
00:40:48,460 --> 00:40:50,880
First Peter chapter two, verse four.

1058
00:40:51,340 --> 00:40:53,820
Watch this, coming to him as to a

1059
00:40:53,820 --> 00:40:57,220
living stone rejected indeed by men, but chosen

1060
00:40:57,220 --> 00:40:58,160
by God and precious.

1061
00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,500
You also as living stones.

1062
00:40:59,620 --> 00:40:59,960
Wait, what?

1063
00:41:01,300 --> 00:41:03,360
This is separate, but it still applies.

1064
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,300
To him as a living stone, Jesus rejected

1065
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:07,140
indeed by men.

1066
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:09,800
So you're saying I'm a living stone too?

1067
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,560
Wait, Jesus was a living stone and rejected

1068
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:12,120
by men.

1069
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:13,400
Yes, and you are too.

1070
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,500
So just know that living stones get rejected

1071
00:41:15,500 --> 00:41:16,240
by men.

1072
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,000
He said, though, I hate you because of

1073
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:18,240
me.

1074
00:41:18,540 --> 00:41:21,720
There's a whole nother teaching, but important to

1075
00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:22,040
note.

1076
00:41:23,060 --> 00:41:25,600
You as living stones are being built a

1077
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:30,200
spiritual house, not a spiritual two by four

1078
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,180
by yourself, not a spiritual door or threshold

1079
00:41:34,180 --> 00:41:36,080
or floor mat, no, a house.

1080
00:41:36,820 --> 00:41:41,180
And living stones, plural, meaning you're going to,

1081
00:41:41,180 --> 00:41:43,460
if you want to follow the Lord and

1082
00:41:43,460 --> 00:41:46,140
the chief cornerstone, you are going to have

1083
00:41:46,140 --> 00:41:48,240
to be fit into other living stones, which

1084
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:49,220
is called the body of Christ.

1085
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:50,240
It's a spiritual house.

1086
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,200
And listen to this, the Lord's just on

1087
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:57,420
this.

1088
00:41:57,460 --> 00:41:58,700
I've been feeling this stronger and stronger.

1089
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,800
I'm very grateful and I just want to

1090
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,160
do better at obeying him, that's all.

1091
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:03,860
May he get glory.

1092
00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:06,720
But listen to what that word house means

1093
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:09,280
in Greek, spiritual house.

1094
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:17,140
Family, in Greek it means family, home, household,

1095
00:42:17,700 --> 00:42:18,020
dwelling.

1096
00:42:19,540 --> 00:42:22,160
But when I'm being built as a spiritual

1097
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,420
house, yeah, because you're being built up with

1098
00:42:24,420 --> 00:42:26,620
others, fit together, living stones.

1099
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,140
If it's one stone, nothing needs to be

1100
00:42:29,140 --> 00:42:29,380
built.

1101
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:30,720
So if you want to go do your

1102
00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:32,680
Maverick thing or build your Maverick ministry and

1103
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,900
touch thousands and you're not connecting to any

1104
00:42:34,900 --> 00:42:36,520
family, I'm telling you where the days are

1105
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:37,880
heading, you're going to get exposed.

1106
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:39,260
The church, the church of the Lord, the

1107
00:42:39,260 --> 00:42:41,300
train of God's favor and grace and glory

1108
00:42:41,300 --> 00:42:42,140
is going to miss you.

1109
00:42:43,140 --> 00:42:44,060
Please hear me.

1110
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,400
And I love different calls, but still do

1111
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:53,080
what you're doing, but come back to wherever

1112
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,720
you're there is and family, be tied in

1113
00:42:55,720 --> 00:42:56,120
somewhere.

1114
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,680
I'm telling you, it's very, very important.

1115
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,320
And because the shaking's coming and everything that's

1116
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,600
not his spiritual house and those living stones

1117
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,400
that aren't fit together to the living stone

1118
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,000
of the chief cornerstone, it's going to fall

1119
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,360
by the wayside.

1120
00:43:12,820 --> 00:43:14,140
That's very, very, very key.

1121
00:43:14,620 --> 00:43:15,960
You say, what is the spiritual house?

1122
00:43:16,100 --> 00:43:16,600
What is it?

1123
00:43:18,380 --> 00:43:20,160
It's a holy priesthood.

1124
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:21,480
What does it do?

1125
00:43:21,540 --> 00:43:24,540
It offers up spiritual sacrifice that's acceptable to

1126
00:43:24,540 --> 00:43:25,880
God through Jesus Christ.

1127
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,320
So again, this Maverick mentality that seeks to

1128
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,900
do kingdom exploits and achieve eternal greatness apart

1129
00:43:33,900 --> 00:43:36,860
from true kingdom family in any real way

1130
00:43:36,860 --> 00:43:38,300
will be exposed in due time.

1131
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,100
Just want to make that really clear.

1132
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,380
Verse six, we're still there, but point three,

1133
00:43:46,220 --> 00:43:47,240
we'll read verse six.

1134
00:43:47,420 --> 00:43:49,900
It says, we go back to Luke two.

1135
00:43:52,730 --> 00:43:55,390
It says, so it was that while they

1136
00:43:55,390 --> 00:43:58,110
were there, the days were completed for her

1137
00:43:58,110 --> 00:43:58,790
to be delivered.

1138
00:44:02,050 --> 00:44:06,030
So point three, remain at your there.

1139
00:44:06,030 --> 00:44:07,950
It says, while they were there, the days

1140
00:44:07,950 --> 00:44:08,670
were completed.

1141
00:44:08,990 --> 00:44:10,130
So this is super key.

1142
00:44:10,690 --> 00:44:13,410
Find your there, while you're there, start family.

1143
00:44:13,790 --> 00:44:15,450
Thank God that Jesus came in this way.

1144
00:44:15,510 --> 00:44:16,450
This is how he says, you know what?

1145
00:44:16,510 --> 00:44:17,930
What's the perfect plan for me to come

1146
00:44:17,930 --> 00:44:18,390
into the earth?

1147
00:44:18,690 --> 00:44:19,890
He could have done it in so many

1148
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:22,990
different ways, but he came through family.

1149
00:44:26,090 --> 00:44:27,270
And this is what they did.

1150
00:44:27,310 --> 00:44:29,750
They found their there, their starting family about

1151
00:44:29,750 --> 00:44:32,430
to bring forth the son of God.

1152
00:44:33,030 --> 00:44:36,330
And, but what they did was they remained

1153
00:44:36,330 --> 00:44:38,210
there until the days were complete.

1154
00:44:38,330 --> 00:44:40,910
So point three, remain at your there.

1155
00:44:41,070 --> 00:44:43,590
This point actually, I think gets, the ball

1156
00:44:43,590 --> 00:44:45,950
gets dropped more here than step one, finding

1157
00:44:45,950 --> 00:44:47,770
your there, from what I've seen.

1158
00:44:47,830 --> 00:44:49,150
And just so you know, I've messed up

1159
00:44:49,150 --> 00:44:49,550
all these.

1160
00:44:49,970 --> 00:44:50,790
So Lord help me.

1161
00:44:51,490 --> 00:44:54,750
Typically always preaching from experience and thank God

1162
00:44:54,750 --> 00:44:56,070
for his mercy and grace and trying to

1163
00:44:56,070 --> 00:44:56,470
get better.

1164
00:44:57,490 --> 00:45:00,910
But often we do due diligence and prayer,

1165
00:45:01,410 --> 00:45:03,030
fasting, whatever it is, we hear God clearly,

1166
00:45:03,070 --> 00:45:06,330
we get to our there, but because of

1167
00:45:06,330 --> 00:45:09,670
many reasons, timing, things didn't work out like

1168
00:45:09,670 --> 00:45:11,330
we thought or not like we expected.

1169
00:45:12,850 --> 00:45:15,030
We abort the plan too soon.

1170
00:45:15,130 --> 00:45:16,990
We don't remain at our there.

1171
00:45:17,730 --> 00:45:20,450
And when you don't do this, nothing can

1172
00:45:20,450 --> 00:45:21,270
be brought forth.

1173
00:45:21,350 --> 00:45:22,690
The son will not be brought forth.

1174
00:45:22,810 --> 00:45:24,190
That's the Orpah model.

1175
00:45:24,790 --> 00:45:26,830
That's Barnabas and many others in scripture.

1176
00:45:28,330 --> 00:45:32,510
So step three, we must remain at our

1177
00:45:32,510 --> 00:45:36,630
there so the days of fulfillment can come

1178
00:45:36,630 --> 00:45:37,430
into fruition.

1179
00:45:39,310 --> 00:45:42,450
Let the days of being there unfold and

1180
00:45:42,450 --> 00:45:42,910
ripen.

1181
00:45:43,810 --> 00:45:46,130
Let them season and come into the time

1182
00:45:46,130 --> 00:45:46,790
of fulfillment.

1183
00:45:46,990 --> 00:45:47,910
This is really key.

1184
00:45:48,110 --> 00:45:49,210
I'm telling you, I see it time and

1185
00:45:49,210 --> 00:45:53,210
time again, where again, I feel like this

1186
00:45:53,210 --> 00:45:55,710
step may be even a little more important

1187
00:45:55,710 --> 00:45:56,810
only because I feel like this is a

1188
00:45:56,810 --> 00:45:56,910
key step.

1189
00:45:56,910 --> 00:45:57,970
This is a ball that's dropped more here.

1190
00:45:58,590 --> 00:45:59,790
People get excited.

1191
00:45:59,930 --> 00:46:01,390
They hear God and they find they're there,

1192
00:46:01,750 --> 00:46:03,010
but they don't remain there.

1193
00:46:04,390 --> 00:46:06,450
It says the days were completed.

1194
00:46:06,890 --> 00:46:07,530
How many?

1195
00:46:07,710 --> 00:46:08,270
We don't know.

1196
00:46:08,370 --> 00:46:09,270
We don't know how long they were there.

1197
00:46:09,830 --> 00:46:11,430
All we know is the days were completed

1198
00:46:11,430 --> 00:46:11,730
though.

1199
00:46:12,750 --> 00:46:15,430
You see, what if you had, you know,

1200
00:46:15,850 --> 00:46:17,670
seven months and you left on the sixth

1201
00:46:17,670 --> 00:46:18,130
month?

1202
00:46:18,370 --> 00:46:20,550
You thought, well, I spent six whole months,

1203
00:46:21,090 --> 00:46:22,650
you know, two increments of three or whatever

1204
00:46:22,650 --> 00:46:26,370
it may be, but the days weren't completed.

1205
00:46:27,090 --> 00:46:30,010
This is really important for the birthing of

1206
00:46:30,010 --> 00:46:30,310
God.

1207
00:46:30,790 --> 00:46:34,150
Often, he's not gonna speed up his timeline

1208
00:46:34,150 --> 00:46:34,770
for anyone.

1209
00:46:36,790 --> 00:46:41,110
I have here, most people find they're there,

1210
00:46:41,190 --> 00:46:42,870
but drop the ball in the category of

1211
00:46:42,870 --> 00:46:47,210
remaining there, especially in this quick microwave short

1212
00:46:47,210 --> 00:46:48,490
attention span generation.

1213
00:46:49,890 --> 00:46:52,170
Everybody wants that same day delivery.

1214
00:46:52,950 --> 00:46:56,730
Amazon Special, and I love Amazon Prime.

1215
00:46:56,830 --> 00:47:02,230
I just ordered today two little metal clips,

1216
00:47:02,330 --> 00:47:05,550
like you know them little garage door clickers,

1217
00:47:05,630 --> 00:47:06,990
like the metal clip on the back?

1218
00:47:07,090 --> 00:47:07,930
I needed two of those.

1219
00:47:08,110 --> 00:47:10,350
6.99, what an amazing deal.

1220
00:47:11,330 --> 00:47:13,250
So I love it, but if we're not

1221
00:47:13,250 --> 00:47:17,110
careful, this quick microwave generation, the attention span's

1222
00:47:17,110 --> 00:47:17,790
shorter than ever.

1223
00:47:18,490 --> 00:47:20,270
We do this with God, and I can

1224
00:47:20,270 --> 00:47:21,590
promise you that doesn't work with him.

1225
00:47:21,590 --> 00:47:23,250
He doesn't do Amazon Prime.

1226
00:47:24,210 --> 00:47:26,430
He's on time, and he can do things

1227
00:47:26,430 --> 00:47:29,810
quicker than anybody, but also, he's not overnight

1228
00:47:29,810 --> 00:47:31,270
delivery in these.

1229
00:47:31,370 --> 00:47:34,210
The days must be completed with him, and

1230
00:47:34,210 --> 00:47:35,650
a lot of times, we don't realize the

1231
00:47:35,650 --> 00:47:38,090
days being completed was in the whole plan

1232
00:47:38,090 --> 00:47:40,930
because he's making and molding us during those

1233
00:47:40,930 --> 00:47:41,150
days.

1234
00:47:41,310 --> 00:47:42,590
They're needed, they're needed.

1235
00:47:42,750 --> 00:47:45,450
He's not just slow because he chooses to

1236
00:47:45,450 --> 00:47:45,630
be.

1237
00:47:46,230 --> 00:47:49,170
He's changing us, so we'll be ready once

1238
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:51,090
the sun is brought forth.

1239
00:47:53,650 --> 00:47:56,290
But anyway, God never has and never will

1240
00:47:56,290 --> 00:47:56,990
work this way.

1241
00:47:57,170 --> 00:47:58,790
God is the God of the apple seed

1242
00:48:00,250 --> 00:48:04,470
that you plant, and you water it, see

1243
00:48:04,470 --> 00:48:04,810
nothing.

1244
00:48:05,430 --> 00:48:08,690
For weeks, nurture it, make sure it gets

1245
00:48:08,690 --> 00:48:09,090
sun.

1246
00:48:09,890 --> 00:48:12,730
Five years later, you get an apple.

1247
00:48:13,610 --> 00:48:14,830
This is how God works.

1248
00:48:14,970 --> 00:48:15,910
Just look at creation.

1249
00:48:15,910 --> 00:48:19,530
Then, from that apple you get, you take

1250
00:48:19,530 --> 00:48:22,130
a seed out, plant a new tree, water

1251
00:48:22,130 --> 00:48:22,810
it, nurture it.

1252
00:48:23,550 --> 00:48:25,690
Five years later, you got apples on both

1253
00:48:25,690 --> 00:48:25,990
trees.

1254
00:48:26,990 --> 00:48:28,230
That's about a decade right there.

1255
00:48:29,570 --> 00:48:31,170
A lot of us find our there, get

1256
00:48:31,170 --> 00:48:32,890
the seed, plant it, nurture it, water it,

1257
00:48:33,110 --> 00:48:34,570
and it doesn't quite do what we, and

1258
00:48:34,570 --> 00:48:35,790
we usurp the plant.

1259
00:48:36,550 --> 00:48:38,110
The problem is, if you go to a

1260
00:48:38,110 --> 00:48:39,790
new there, you gotta start over again.

1261
00:48:40,330 --> 00:48:43,010
We gotta get to God's way.

1262
00:48:43,650 --> 00:48:45,430
Just remain, let the days complete.

1263
00:48:45,430 --> 00:48:49,750
Let the season unfold, ripen, because he's trying

1264
00:48:49,750 --> 00:48:50,350
to do something.

1265
00:48:51,870 --> 00:48:53,870
I have here, anybody you see today with

1266
00:48:53,870 --> 00:48:57,830
an abundance of apples, started many years ago

1267
00:48:57,830 --> 00:49:00,950
planting seeds of obedience and remaining at their

1268
00:49:00,950 --> 00:49:05,650
there until the days kept coming into completion.

1269
00:49:06,890 --> 00:49:08,650
I just wanna encourage you, remain there, wherever

1270
00:49:08,650 --> 00:49:09,230
it is for you.

1271
00:49:09,710 --> 00:49:12,210
You hear the Lord, and wherever that is,

1272
00:49:12,290 --> 00:49:12,910
start family.

1273
00:49:13,070 --> 00:49:15,350
I'm telling you, if that's not something you

1274
00:49:15,350 --> 00:49:19,670
are tying into, start asking God how to

1275
00:49:19,670 --> 00:49:23,130
get tethered in, because that's where his breath's

1276
00:49:23,130 --> 00:49:26,230
upon, and then remain there, let the days

1277
00:49:26,230 --> 00:49:26,570
unfold.

1278
00:49:29,930 --> 00:49:32,630
Scripture tells us that when the days were

1279
00:49:32,630 --> 00:49:34,710
completed, she brought forth.

1280
00:49:36,190 --> 00:49:38,290
If you do not remain at your there,

1281
00:49:38,410 --> 00:49:39,790
you will never bring forth.

1282
00:49:42,710 --> 00:49:45,550
When a natural child is conceived, there's absolutely

1283
00:49:45,550 --> 00:49:47,570
nothing that anyone can do to speed that

1284
00:49:47,570 --> 00:49:49,190
bringing forth up.

1285
00:49:49,970 --> 00:49:51,770
When a child's conceived, it's nine months, and

1286
00:49:51,770 --> 00:49:53,230
nine months is nine months.

1287
00:49:54,210 --> 00:49:56,410
Doesn't matter how holy you are, wicked you

1288
00:49:56,410 --> 00:49:57,870
are, you're not gonna slow or speed that

1289
00:49:57,870 --> 00:50:01,470
up, slow it up or speed it up.

1290
00:50:03,530 --> 00:50:07,070
Some things, there's a set time that the

1291
00:50:07,070 --> 00:50:09,450
days must be completed, and doesn't matter what

1292
00:50:09,450 --> 00:50:14,030
you do, cry, wail, shift, or whatever, the

1293
00:50:14,030 --> 00:50:16,550
days must be complete, and so we've gotta

1294
00:50:16,550 --> 00:50:17,310
allow that.

1295
00:50:19,030 --> 00:50:21,670
I have heard so many become distracted, discouraged,

1296
00:50:22,010 --> 00:50:24,810
when the Bible is clear to not despise

1297
00:50:24,810 --> 00:50:28,170
the day of small beginnings, and to not

1298
00:50:28,170 --> 00:50:30,090
grow weary in doing good, so when you

1299
00:50:30,090 --> 00:50:33,310
find you're there, and you start family, just

1300
00:50:33,310 --> 00:50:34,050
remain there.

1301
00:50:35,570 --> 00:50:37,450
He'll speak if anything needs to change, but

1302
00:50:37,450 --> 00:50:39,730
definitely what you don't wanna do is usurp

1303
00:50:39,730 --> 00:50:42,750
that there, and that plan, and check out

1304
00:50:42,750 --> 00:50:44,790
too early before the day's complete, because nothing

1305
00:50:44,790 --> 00:50:46,170
will be brought forth, I promise you, I've

1306
00:50:46,170 --> 00:50:47,950
seen this over, and over, and over again.

1307
00:50:49,210 --> 00:50:51,250
I have here, some get jealous of others,

1308
00:50:52,370 --> 00:50:55,130
or offended by something someone did or said,

1309
00:50:56,010 --> 00:50:59,190
get hurt, pack up, and go to another

1310
00:50:59,190 --> 00:50:59,570
there.

1311
00:51:01,190 --> 00:51:04,110
Get hurt there, pack up, and go to

1312
00:51:04,110 --> 00:51:04,730
another there.

1313
00:51:05,610 --> 00:51:07,750
And typically what happens is, these type people

1314
00:51:07,750 --> 00:51:10,990
find each other, and form these self-imploding

1315
00:51:10,990 --> 00:51:14,830
pity parties, that they rally around, while going

1316
00:51:14,830 --> 00:51:20,750
deeper and deeper, into deception, often entertaining doctrines

1317
00:51:20,750 --> 00:51:21,550
of demons, I'm telling.

1318
00:51:23,030 --> 00:51:26,210
It's wild how these people all gravitate to

1319
00:51:26,210 --> 00:51:28,090
themselves, and they find each other, it's like,

1320
00:51:28,210 --> 00:51:29,830
I heard the Lord got to my there,

1321
00:51:29,910 --> 00:51:31,030
but just didn't go right, or I got

1322
00:51:31,030 --> 00:51:32,830
offended, or somebody said something hurt me, so

1323
00:51:32,830 --> 00:51:34,690
I'm gonna pack up, go to another there.

1324
00:51:35,770 --> 00:51:37,730
Nothing ever gets brought forth, then you get

1325
00:51:37,730 --> 00:51:38,950
hurt again there, and go to another there,

1326
00:51:39,470 --> 00:51:40,850
and you start running into all these other

1327
00:51:40,850 --> 00:51:42,350
people that have been doing that, took that

1328
00:51:42,350 --> 00:51:44,530
little apple seed, and apple tree that's only

1329
00:51:44,530 --> 00:51:45,670
a year old, and pulled it out of

1330
00:51:45,670 --> 00:51:47,010
the roots, and tried to plant it again,

1331
00:51:47,130 --> 00:51:49,470
and the leaves start dying, you're starting over.

1332
00:51:50,870 --> 00:51:52,210
And then it's funny, they all find each

1333
00:51:52,210 --> 00:51:57,430
other, and often, it's like they start becoming

1334
00:51:57,430 --> 00:52:00,710
the new spiritual police on how things should

1335
00:52:00,710 --> 00:52:01,130
be run.

1336
00:52:01,210 --> 00:52:03,770
It's funny, I don't know how they conjure

1337
00:52:03,770 --> 00:52:05,490
this up, but these little groups will start,

1338
00:52:06,130 --> 00:52:09,110
and it's like they know how things, what

1339
00:52:09,110 --> 00:52:10,710
everybody else is doing wrong, and how things

1340
00:52:10,710 --> 00:52:11,310
should be run.

1341
00:52:11,690 --> 00:52:13,490
The only problem is that they have no

1342
00:52:13,490 --> 00:52:14,970
fruit to speak of.

1343
00:52:15,770 --> 00:52:19,270
Typically, you can look at their children, literally

1344
00:52:19,270 --> 00:52:21,910
or spiritually, because the Bible says, wisdom proves

1345
00:52:21,910 --> 00:52:24,050
itself by its children, or its offspring, or

1346
00:52:24,050 --> 00:52:24,450
its fruit.

1347
00:52:24,570 --> 00:52:25,570
All you have to do is check the

1348
00:52:25,570 --> 00:52:30,750
fruit, and then, or look behind them, because

1349
00:52:30,750 --> 00:52:32,250
you'll see nobody's following them.

1350
00:52:33,110 --> 00:52:36,310
So I'm encouraging us, let's just hear the

1351
00:52:36,310 --> 00:52:38,710
Lord clearly, start family, get over you.

1352
00:52:40,150 --> 00:52:42,230
Don't always just run for your little click,

1353
00:52:42,350 --> 00:52:43,930
and you're for no more, no, get over

1354
00:52:43,930 --> 00:52:44,270
us.

1355
00:52:44,550 --> 00:52:45,630
I'm telling you, I feel like the Lord

1356
00:52:45,630 --> 00:52:47,970
often puts people that agitate us on purpose,

1357
00:52:48,070 --> 00:52:48,870
and He says, no, go love them.

1358
00:52:49,290 --> 00:52:50,290
I'm trying to kill you.

1359
00:52:51,030 --> 00:52:52,770
Just tie into family, love people, I love

1360
00:52:52,770 --> 00:52:52,990
them.

1361
00:52:53,570 --> 00:52:55,390
I know they're quirky to you, I love

1362
00:52:55,390 --> 00:52:55,590
them.

1363
00:52:56,390 --> 00:52:57,990
I made them that way, by the way.

1364
00:52:58,070 --> 00:53:00,150
The way they think, and the way they

1365
00:53:00,150 --> 00:53:02,350
see it that you don't, and how they

1366
00:53:02,350 --> 00:53:04,430
never understand what you're talking about, but they're

1367
00:53:04,430 --> 00:53:05,850
in their world that makes sense to them,

1368
00:53:05,850 --> 00:53:07,530
I love them, and that's how I made

1369
00:53:07,530 --> 00:53:08,150
them, love them.

1370
00:53:09,150 --> 00:53:13,510
Get tethered in to the fabric, you know?

1371
00:53:15,270 --> 00:53:17,290
And then also remain there.

1372
00:53:17,450 --> 00:53:18,370
I'm telling you, this is a big one.

1373
00:53:18,510 --> 00:53:20,390
Days cannot complete if we don't remain there.

1374
00:53:20,630 --> 00:53:22,290
Too many people that are hopping and moving,

1375
00:53:24,670 --> 00:53:27,510
and God's will can't take its place.

1376
00:53:29,330 --> 00:53:32,110
So don't shortcut the fulfillment of you're there.

1377
00:53:32,190 --> 00:53:39,240
Let the days complete themselves, and yeah, I

1378
00:53:39,240 --> 00:53:41,040
have here, if you don't gel well in

1379
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:44,620
the context of family, typically you have a

1380
00:53:44,620 --> 00:53:45,220
you problem.

1381
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:47,340
You're too important to you.

1382
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:49,080
That's normally what's happening.

1383
00:53:49,180 --> 00:53:50,780
If you don't gel well with family, God's

1384
00:53:50,780 --> 00:53:54,340
family, typically we're selfish is what it is.

1385
00:53:55,580 --> 00:53:57,260
True death is one of the main ingredients

1386
00:53:57,260 --> 00:53:59,020
to the recipe that works in family.

1387
00:53:59,820 --> 00:54:01,440
I was just telling my kids this recently,

1388
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,920
talking with them, just how heaven is the

1389
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,480
perfect model because you notice there's never any

1390
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:09,340
issues in heaven.

1391
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:11,860
Nobody ever gets hurt, rejected, offended.

1392
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:12,660
Nobody's selfish.

1393
00:54:13,020 --> 00:54:15,400
You never see a 24-elder take another

1394
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,040
one's chair because he wants a better seat,

1395
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,980
or the four living creatures, or the 24

1396
00:54:20,980 --> 00:54:23,060
elders getting jealous of the four living creatures

1397
00:54:23,060 --> 00:54:24,480
because they're closer to the throne.

1398
00:54:25,460 --> 00:54:26,120
You know what I mean?

1399
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:28,840
You don't see any of that.

1400
00:54:28,900 --> 00:54:30,820
You don't see angels pulling power moves because

1401
00:54:30,820 --> 00:54:34,740
they are on a authority trip and want

1402
00:54:34,740 --> 00:54:35,620
more say-so.

1403
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,440
Heaven just flows because everybody's selfless and they

1404
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,380
want the king where he is in the

1405
00:54:42,380 --> 00:54:45,980
central part on the throne, exalted, lifted up.

1406
00:54:46,020 --> 00:54:46,600
It's about him.

1407
00:54:48,180 --> 00:54:50,340
And family works this way, but I pray

1408
00:54:50,340 --> 00:54:54,660
we would become more and more comfortable with

1409
00:54:54,660 --> 00:54:56,400
this and get over us and yield into

1410
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,840
the lowly way of honor, preference, death to

1411
00:54:58,840 --> 00:54:59,140
us.

1412
00:54:59,620 --> 00:55:02,640
Truth, though, yes, the balance of truth, but

1413
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,120
that Jesus may be glorified.

1414
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:08,560
You just get so much misunderstanding because people

1415
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:10,000
aren't truthful fully.

1416
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,500
And there's so many different reasons and offenses

1417
00:55:12,500 --> 00:55:14,380
and rejections and things that just they're not

1418
00:55:14,380 --> 00:55:16,620
in the kingdom because this is what I

1419
00:55:16,620 --> 00:55:18,440
was telling my kids that a lot of

1420
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,120
us say your kingdom come on earth as

1421
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:20,700
it is in heaven.

1422
00:55:20,780 --> 00:55:21,620
And we pray that and love it.

1423
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:22,400
I pray it, love it.

1424
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:24,540
But if we're honest, a lot of times

1425
00:55:24,540 --> 00:55:26,620
we pray that because we want all the

1426
00:55:26,620 --> 00:55:27,520
benefits of his kingdom.

1427
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,340
We want the power, the authority, the breakthrough,

1428
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:29,920
the deliverance.

1429
00:55:30,540 --> 00:55:31,680
But one thing you need to know is

1430
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,740
when his kingdom comes, also the kingdom order

1431
00:55:34,740 --> 00:55:35,160
comes.

1432
00:55:35,220 --> 00:55:38,460
And it looks like submission, honor, preference of

1433
00:55:38,460 --> 00:55:41,360
one another, true love, truth and only truth,

1434
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,860
spirit of truth is the only thing that

1435
00:55:43,860 --> 00:55:44,500
resides in heaven.

1436
00:55:45,240 --> 00:55:49,720
No false witnesses being bared, no selfish ambition,

1437
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,920
ulterior motives, guile, all this stuff's out the

1438
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:54,140
window.

1439
00:55:54,140 --> 00:55:56,080
When the kingdom of heaven comes, it sets

1440
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:56,780
things in order.

1441
00:55:57,580 --> 00:55:58,420
It's very beautiful.

1442
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:00,040
There's conviction, it's sharp.

1443
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,580
There's no subconscious stuff that's going on within

1444
00:56:03,580 --> 00:56:07,100
us that's rooted in selfishness and pride.

1445
00:56:07,240 --> 00:56:08,560
All this is gone, it's gone.

1446
00:56:08,720 --> 00:56:11,220
You saw where pride got Lucifer, ousted.

1447
00:56:11,460 --> 00:56:12,800
It will not stand in heaven.

1448
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,640
And so I'm loving these things even more.

1449
00:56:15,720 --> 00:56:17,140
I love the power and all, let's have

1450
00:56:17,140 --> 00:56:18,020
it, revelation, glory.

1451
00:56:19,260 --> 00:56:20,740
But I'm loving your kingdom come.

1452
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,260
Yes, come, come in my home, come in

1453
00:56:23,260 --> 00:56:25,680
our church, come in our nation, our city,

1454
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,520
the world, come.

1455
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:29,840
Because what it does, it sets things in

1456
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:31,880
order and things just flow like butter.

1457
00:56:32,900 --> 00:56:35,980
You never see anything get out of order

1458
00:56:35,980 --> 00:56:36,700
and get tripped up.

1459
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,100
Even in Zechariah four, I think, or Zechariah

1460
00:56:40,100 --> 00:56:40,640
for sure.

1461
00:56:42,460 --> 00:56:45,480
I was telling my children, there's an angel

1462
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,000
who would always run with Zechariah.

1463
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:48,900
He would call him the angel who talked

1464
00:56:48,900 --> 00:56:49,320
with me.

1465
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:51,140
Let's say this is Zechariah and here's the

1466
00:56:51,140 --> 00:56:51,360
angel.

1467
00:56:53,370 --> 00:56:54,550
Let's say this is the angel because he's

1468
00:56:54,550 --> 00:56:56,490
bigger because we're yet a little lower than

1469
00:56:56,490 --> 00:56:56,810
the angels.

1470
00:56:57,030 --> 00:56:57,870
Zechariah, the angel.

1471
00:56:58,510 --> 00:56:59,690
Well, this is his angel.

1472
00:56:59,830 --> 00:57:01,950
He says, look, the angel who talked with

1473
00:57:01,950 --> 00:57:03,410
me said this and the angel who talked

1474
00:57:03,410 --> 00:57:04,130
with me said this.

1475
00:57:04,210 --> 00:57:07,250
Well, all of a sudden, another angel came

1476
00:57:07,250 --> 00:57:10,150
on the scene and he's an angel for

1477
00:57:10,150 --> 00:57:11,250
crying out loud, he's divine.

1478
00:57:11,870 --> 00:57:13,610
And he had something to tell Zechariah.

1479
00:57:13,730 --> 00:57:15,670
But in the passage, it says he went

1480
00:57:15,670 --> 00:57:19,250
to Zechariah's angel and told him to tell

1481
00:57:19,250 --> 00:57:20,110
Zechariah this.

1482
00:57:21,430 --> 00:57:23,090
And you think, well, that's okay.

1483
00:57:23,670 --> 00:57:25,770
But what's so amazing about that is even

1484
00:57:25,770 --> 00:57:27,770
the angels know, because they come from his

1485
00:57:27,770 --> 00:57:32,010
presence, divine order and respect and integrity.

1486
00:57:32,170 --> 00:57:34,410
They don't do all this backdoor nonsense that

1487
00:57:34,410 --> 00:57:36,230
is rooted in selfishness and how I can

1488
00:57:36,230 --> 00:57:37,370
network and better my thing.

1489
00:57:37,470 --> 00:57:38,470
And I'm telling you, there's so much nonsense

1490
00:57:38,470 --> 00:57:39,890
going on in the body of Christ.

1491
00:57:39,990 --> 00:57:40,910
We need it cleaned up.

1492
00:57:40,970 --> 00:57:44,810
We need pure, integrous people that run in

1493
00:57:44,810 --> 00:57:45,810
the kingdom of heaven.

1494
00:57:45,950 --> 00:57:47,550
It's order, divine, pure, it's clean.

1495
00:57:48,370 --> 00:57:50,770
You can trust it with your life because

1496
00:57:50,770 --> 00:57:51,930
it's in truth always.

1497
00:57:51,930 --> 00:57:53,650
Never comes outside of the spirit of truth.

1498
00:57:53,730 --> 00:57:55,450
And so this angel, he knew, he's like,

1499
00:57:55,510 --> 00:57:57,890
no, this angel's assigned to Zechariah.

1500
00:57:58,410 --> 00:57:59,370
So I'll go through him.

1501
00:58:00,450 --> 00:58:01,550
He could just went around him.

1502
00:58:02,310 --> 00:58:03,410
And this is how a lot of, this

1503
00:58:03,410 --> 00:58:06,410
is what we do a lot because somebody

1504
00:58:06,410 --> 00:58:08,130
says something makes us feel better.

1505
00:58:08,210 --> 00:58:09,650
And so we feel important and make a

1506
00:58:09,650 --> 00:58:11,790
power move decision that we wanna go ahead

1507
00:58:11,790 --> 00:58:12,350
and do this.

1508
00:58:12,790 --> 00:58:14,150
We don't run it by who the Lord

1509
00:58:14,150 --> 00:58:16,590
told us is the authority of the time.

1510
00:58:16,610 --> 00:58:18,110
Like, no, we don't do that.

1511
00:58:18,730 --> 00:58:21,650
And so I pray that the Lord would

1512
00:58:21,650 --> 00:58:24,050
help us even in the context of family

1513
00:58:24,050 --> 00:58:26,210
and living stones and come under the kingdom

1514
00:58:26,210 --> 00:58:26,670
of heaven.

1515
00:58:27,170 --> 00:58:28,070
You know, it's so beautiful.

1516
00:58:28,490 --> 00:58:31,810
So, but listen to this again, back from,

1517
00:58:31,930 --> 00:58:33,710
we won't turn there, but 1 Peter 2,

1518
00:58:33,770 --> 00:58:36,370
the living stones in the context of family

1519
00:58:36,370 --> 00:58:38,930
and remaining there, because this is often why

1520
00:58:38,930 --> 00:58:40,010
people don't remain there.

1521
00:58:40,550 --> 00:58:44,010
They get offended because they started family, but

1522
00:58:44,010 --> 00:58:46,030
that didn't know that, or I didn't get

1523
00:58:46,030 --> 00:58:47,690
promoted quick enough, whatever it is.

1524
00:58:47,690 --> 00:58:49,290
It's hanging about being promoted.

1525
00:58:49,490 --> 00:58:51,710
A lot of times, and God has no

1526
00:58:51,710 --> 00:58:54,150
problem promoting anything.

1527
00:58:54,330 --> 00:58:56,830
If he's ready, he sees you, he knows

1528
00:58:56,830 --> 00:58:56,990
you.

1529
00:58:57,590 --> 00:58:59,730
We're so busy blaming everybody else because we're

1530
00:58:59,730 --> 00:59:01,450
not being used and nobody sees me.

1531
00:59:02,090 --> 00:59:03,910
You think God's not capable?

1532
00:59:04,950 --> 00:59:06,610
You're probably not usable yet.

1533
00:59:07,010 --> 00:59:08,650
And I'm talking to me because I've been

1534
00:59:08,650 --> 00:59:11,250
here plenty and still need much grace in

1535
00:59:11,250 --> 00:59:11,770
all these areas.

1536
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,520
But living stones must be, you don't just

1537
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:18,700
grab stones and put them together.

1538
00:59:18,700 --> 00:59:21,040
There is no gaps in the wall of

1539
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,600
that, which is tied into the chief cornerstone.

1540
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:24,640
This isn't a stone wall.

1541
00:59:24,740 --> 00:59:25,740
You get stones out of a river and

1542
00:59:25,740 --> 00:59:26,820
stack them and there's holes in there.

1543
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:32,420
No, living stones are chiseled, cut, and made

1544
00:59:32,420 --> 00:59:35,800
to fit one another that ultimately fit into

1545
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:36,860
the chief cornerstone.

1546
00:59:38,140 --> 00:59:39,840
Quite often, what we do is we can

1547
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:41,920
see all the areas everybody else needs to

1548
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:42,980
be cut and chiseled in.

1549
00:59:43,060 --> 00:59:44,400
But when it comes to us, we have

1550
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:44,980
blind spots.

1551
00:59:45,060 --> 00:59:46,260
We don't think, we think we're good.

1552
00:59:46,940 --> 00:59:50,320
Or we think everybody else needs to be

1553
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:51,980
chiseled and cut to fit into us.

1554
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:53,780
I can promise you that's not the case.

1555
00:59:53,860 --> 00:59:56,660
We are both, both sides, all sides are

1556
00:59:56,660 --> 01:00:01,320
gonna be cut, chiseled, shaved down, weighed, measured

1557
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,020
to fit perfectly into one another, a spiritual

1558
01:00:05,020 --> 01:00:08,060
house that's perfectly fit into the head and

1559
01:00:08,060 --> 01:00:09,760
the chief cornerstone found in Jesus Christ.

1560
01:00:09,860 --> 01:00:11,140
So know that this is what the Lord's

1561
01:00:11,140 --> 01:00:11,480
doing right now.

1562
01:00:11,500 --> 01:00:14,540
He's chiseling living stones because it's holy and

1563
01:00:14,540 --> 01:00:15,420
acceptable to him.

1564
01:00:15,420 --> 01:00:16,580
It's a spiritual sacrifice.

1565
01:00:16,580 --> 01:00:18,380
It's going up before God in this hour.

1566
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:19,840
And it's looking like family.

1567
01:00:19,980 --> 01:00:21,240
He's building a spiritual house.

1568
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:23,940
And I love that Jesus came born into

1569
01:00:23,940 --> 01:00:24,340
a family.

1570
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,620
And you'll see in a second, his birthing

1571
01:00:28,620 --> 01:00:30,840
projects from family to family.

1572
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:33,640
But anyway, I just wanna encourage you guys

1573
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,240
that may we allow the chief cornerstone to

1574
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,660
have his way in us, get over us,

1575
01:00:40,180 --> 01:00:41,660
and may he get glory.

1576
01:00:41,660 --> 01:00:44,900
Point four, found in verse seven, and she

1577
01:00:44,900 --> 01:00:49,640
brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him.

1578
01:00:50,460 --> 01:00:51,520
Just wanna stop there.

1579
01:00:51,700 --> 01:00:52,860
We must wrap him.

1580
01:00:52,940 --> 01:00:53,820
This is point four.

1581
01:00:54,260 --> 01:00:56,100
Wrapped him in swaddling clothes, but we'll stop

1582
01:00:56,100 --> 01:00:57,160
there, wrap him.

1583
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:00,320
This is so beautiful.

1584
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:02,380
I've never quite seen it like this before,

1585
01:01:02,540 --> 01:01:06,200
but I have here to wrap him.

1586
01:01:06,780 --> 01:01:08,940
You gotta imagine this is to care for,

1587
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:11,720
minister to, and comfort him.

1588
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:14,960
This is where the end time model's going.

1589
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:18,360
It's not the Lord for us, it's him.

1590
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,300
It's caring for him, ministering to him, loving

1591
01:01:20,300 --> 01:01:20,580
him.

1592
01:01:20,980 --> 01:01:21,700
It's wrapping him.

1593
01:01:22,460 --> 01:01:23,920
Meaning when you do that, you don't get

1594
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:24,800
anything in return.

1595
01:01:25,900 --> 01:01:27,920
It's one of the deepest, purest models of

1596
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:28,760
where things are going.

1597
01:01:29,660 --> 01:01:31,780
We need to take things higher now to

1598
01:01:31,780 --> 01:01:33,040
why do we pray?

1599
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:35,500
Why do we worship?

1600
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,380
Why do we give?

1601
01:01:39,420 --> 01:01:40,680
Why do we serve?

1602
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:45,060
To wrap him, to minister to him, to

1603
01:01:45,060 --> 01:01:48,040
care for him, to comfort him and glorify

1604
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:48,400
him.

1605
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:56,480
Many of us still pray, worship, give, and

1606
01:01:56,480 --> 01:02:00,760
serve with the priority stemming back to us.

1607
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:02,260
Let's just be very honest with ourselves.

1608
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,900
And I say this in love and in

1609
01:02:04,900 --> 01:02:05,480
grace and in love.

1610
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:06,180
I say this in needed grace.

1611
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:11,040
But many of us, we pray, serve, give,

1612
01:02:11,340 --> 01:02:15,220
worship, read the Word, all this, still with

1613
01:02:15,220 --> 01:02:19,120
the underlying motive of what's in it for

1614
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:19,320
me.

1615
01:02:19,420 --> 01:02:22,020
When you wrap him, it's solely for him.

1616
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:24,860
It's to comfort him, secure him, love him,

1617
01:02:25,020 --> 01:02:25,580
minister to him.

1618
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,080
And I love this picture here.

1619
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,060
Mary is solely on caring for him.

1620
01:02:31,100 --> 01:02:31,980
It's ministering to him.

1621
01:02:32,570 --> 01:02:34,200
And I think things are flipping in this

1622
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,800
hour to this, it's deeper.

1623
01:02:36,900 --> 01:02:38,100
They're both beautiful.

1624
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,100
This first one I'm talking about is biblical,

1625
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:43,540
just saturated in biblical truths, it's great.

1626
01:02:44,020 --> 01:02:45,900
But there's a deeper place now where we're

1627
01:02:45,900 --> 01:02:49,000
starting to wrap the Lord and the temporal

1628
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:50,420
clothes that we have of love.

1629
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:58,680
But because the first kind of shallower tier

1630
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,700
is when I pray, I will be fruitful.

1631
01:03:02,420 --> 01:03:03,040
I'll say that again.

1632
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,060
Many of us still pray, worship, give, and

1633
01:03:05,060 --> 01:03:06,980
serve with the priority stemming back to us.

1634
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:07,800
And this is an example.

1635
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:10,960
Because when I pray, I will be fruitful.

1636
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:14,680
Or when I read the Bible, I will

1637
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:15,400
be successful.

1638
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,060
Or when I give, I will receive.

1639
01:03:19,980 --> 01:03:22,840
Or when I serve, I will be great

1640
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:23,580
in the kingdom.

1641
01:03:25,580 --> 01:03:28,060
And all of these are incredible biblical truths.

1642
01:03:28,060 --> 01:03:29,420
So I'm not throwing those out.

1643
01:03:29,500 --> 01:03:30,120
They're in the Bible.

1644
01:03:30,260 --> 01:03:33,220
They're amazing to give and receive and serve.

1645
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:34,140
And you'll be great in the kingdom.

1646
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:35,100
These are beautiful.

1647
01:03:35,580 --> 01:03:37,940
But when it comes to wrapping him, it

1648
01:03:37,940 --> 01:03:39,140
totally gets you out of the picture.

1649
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:40,460
And it's just a deeper place is all.

1650
01:03:40,580 --> 01:03:41,420
It's a deeper truth.

1651
01:03:41,580 --> 01:03:42,400
They're both truths.

1652
01:03:43,260 --> 01:03:44,940
Just the bride of this last hour is

1653
01:03:44,940 --> 01:03:45,780
going to this model.

1654
01:03:45,980 --> 01:03:46,480
It's him.

1655
01:03:46,780 --> 01:03:47,380
It's about him.

1656
01:03:47,420 --> 01:03:48,120
Why do I pray?

1657
01:03:48,340 --> 01:03:48,540
Him.

1658
01:03:48,980 --> 01:03:49,620
Why do I serve?

1659
01:03:49,660 --> 01:03:49,860
Him.

1660
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:51,540
Why do I worship and love?

1661
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:51,840
Him.

1662
01:03:52,660 --> 01:03:53,780
Why do I give for him?

1663
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:54,980
Oh, yeah, I receive.

1664
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:56,240
But no, I'm really giving because of him.

1665
01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:58,120
It's a big difference.

1666
01:04:00,460 --> 01:04:02,880
I believe the last hour bride is taking

1667
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:05,640
things up a notch where her main priority

1668
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,580
is to wrap him in love, wrap him

1669
01:04:08,580 --> 01:04:11,200
in praise, wrap him in worship, wrap him

1670
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,600
in comfort, wrap him in nearness with whatever

1671
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,160
lowly cloths of this life she might have.

1672
01:04:19,930 --> 01:04:23,010
The swaddling cloths, see our life, may it

1673
01:04:23,010 --> 01:04:26,770
shift deeper now to wrapping him, caring for

1674
01:04:26,770 --> 01:04:26,870
him.

1675
01:04:26,870 --> 01:04:28,150
That's what she was doing right there.

1676
01:04:28,290 --> 01:04:30,390
There was nothing in return for her.

1677
01:04:30,630 --> 01:04:32,530
It's a deeper place of love that I

1678
01:04:32,530 --> 01:04:37,250
think you can see in this birthing scene

1679
01:04:37,250 --> 01:04:38,330
that we're given in Luke two.

1680
01:04:40,770 --> 01:04:43,470
But may the earthly fabric of our temporal

1681
01:04:43,470 --> 01:04:46,470
lives begin to wrap him while we still

1682
01:04:46,470 --> 01:04:46,890
can.

1683
01:04:47,290 --> 01:04:50,010
It's the only side of eternity where we

1684
01:04:50,010 --> 01:04:50,570
can do that.

1685
01:04:51,290 --> 01:04:53,170
Let's wrap him in our love.

1686
01:04:54,650 --> 01:04:56,890
Let's wrap him in our lives laid down

1687
01:04:56,890 --> 01:04:59,530
through serving.

1688
01:04:59,670 --> 01:05:00,810
Let's wrap him in our giving.

1689
01:05:01,870 --> 01:05:04,270
Let's wrap him in our adoration and praise.

1690
01:05:04,410 --> 01:05:06,670
Let's wrap him in our 100% yielded

1691
01:05:06,670 --> 01:05:08,170
daily obedience this side of heaven.

1692
01:05:09,330 --> 01:05:12,290
So that step four, that we would, by

1693
01:05:12,290 --> 01:05:14,030
the grace of the Lord, by his spirit,

1694
01:05:14,990 --> 01:05:17,710
we'd start to shift deeper now to wrapping

1695
01:05:17,710 --> 01:05:20,430
him, caring for him, ministering to him.

1696
01:05:21,550 --> 01:05:22,630
Why do I pray?

1697
01:05:23,690 --> 01:05:26,510
Him, serve, obey him, his glory.

1698
01:05:29,550 --> 01:05:31,930
Point five, quick, and I'll start landing it

1699
01:05:31,930 --> 01:05:32,430
here shortly.

1700
01:05:32,610 --> 01:05:36,570
Point five, still in verse seven, the next

1701
01:05:36,570 --> 01:05:38,770
part of that verse, and laid him in

1702
01:05:38,770 --> 01:05:39,090
a manger.

1703
01:05:39,250 --> 01:05:41,210
So she brought forth her firstborn son, wrapped

1704
01:05:41,210 --> 01:05:43,190
him in swaddling clothes, and laid him.

1705
01:05:44,050 --> 01:05:47,170
So point four, wrapped him, point five, laid

1706
01:05:47,170 --> 01:05:47,470
him.

1707
01:05:47,870 --> 01:05:48,350
Where?

1708
01:05:48,550 --> 01:05:49,010
In a manger.

1709
01:05:49,610 --> 01:05:51,270
This is a really key point.

1710
01:05:51,350 --> 01:05:53,510
This was actually mentioned three times in Luke.

1711
01:05:54,770 --> 01:05:57,770
Two, verse seven, 12, and six, 16, all

1712
01:05:57,770 --> 01:05:58,330
three verses.

1713
01:05:58,810 --> 01:06:01,390
That manger, being laid in a manger, got

1714
01:06:01,390 --> 01:06:02,490
brought up three times.

1715
01:06:04,890 --> 01:06:07,510
The angels brought it up the second time,

1716
01:06:07,570 --> 01:06:09,110
said, this will be the sign to you.

1717
01:06:09,870 --> 01:06:11,010
And then it says, they went and saw

1718
01:06:11,010 --> 01:06:11,830
a babe in a manger.

1719
01:06:11,930 --> 01:06:13,210
They didn't say anything about the swaddling clothes

1720
01:06:13,210 --> 01:06:13,410
then.

1721
01:06:13,490 --> 01:06:16,330
It was the babe in a manger, and

1722
01:06:16,330 --> 01:06:17,330
she laid him there.

1723
01:06:18,210 --> 01:06:20,990
So what I wanna pull figuratively from this

1724
01:06:20,990 --> 01:06:21,890
is massive.

1725
01:06:22,910 --> 01:06:26,610
I have here, the Lord will rest fully

1726
01:06:26,610 --> 01:06:30,050
in that which he embodies, which is lowliness.

1727
01:06:30,490 --> 01:06:31,690
This is the picture of a manger.

1728
01:06:32,510 --> 01:06:35,190
Humility will be the container in which Jesus

1729
01:06:35,190 --> 01:06:36,150
rests in.

1730
01:06:37,110 --> 01:06:38,650
Humility will be the container.

1731
01:06:39,810 --> 01:06:42,150
The last hour move of God, or birthing

1732
01:06:42,150 --> 01:06:44,210
of the Son by way of the Spirit,

1733
01:06:45,510 --> 01:06:49,390
is going to rest in manger ministries, humble

1734
01:06:49,390 --> 01:06:49,930
abodes.

1735
01:06:50,010 --> 01:06:51,750
I'm telling you, this is coming back again.

1736
01:06:52,270 --> 01:06:54,270
His first coming, that's what he was laid

1737
01:06:54,270 --> 01:06:54,930
in, rested in.

1738
01:06:54,950 --> 01:06:55,950
This is what the Lord rests in.

1739
01:06:57,290 --> 01:06:59,630
Well, he's coming again to rest in manger

1740
01:06:59,630 --> 01:07:03,070
ministries, humble abodes, lowly ones.

1741
01:07:03,470 --> 01:07:06,670
The lowliest one ever is coming to lowly

1742
01:07:06,670 --> 01:07:07,450
ones in his image.

1743
01:07:08,310 --> 01:07:09,270
And help us, Lord.

1744
01:07:09,290 --> 01:07:11,730
This is a massive point here, point five.

1745
01:07:11,730 --> 01:07:13,270
She laid him in a manger.

1746
01:07:15,790 --> 01:07:18,850
So lowly houses that embrace the cross, the

1747
01:07:18,850 --> 01:07:20,650
picture of the wood in the manger, I

1748
01:07:20,650 --> 01:07:22,090
love to see as the cross, and the

1749
01:07:22,090 --> 01:07:22,390
hay.

1750
01:07:23,250 --> 01:07:24,890
The Bible doesn't tell us this, but we

1751
01:07:24,890 --> 01:07:26,610
see it as this, and you can look

1752
01:07:26,610 --> 01:07:27,130
through history.

1753
01:07:28,570 --> 01:07:30,830
And the hay, the dead grass that fades,

1754
01:07:30,910 --> 01:07:34,410
it's just preached on this from Isaiah 40

1755
01:07:34,410 --> 01:07:35,410
and 1 Peter 1.

1756
01:07:36,530 --> 01:07:40,750
But the manger wooden cross of death and

1757
01:07:40,750 --> 01:07:44,490
the hay of death, lowly dead vessels is

1758
01:07:44,490 --> 01:07:46,150
what the Lord's coming to rest in again

1759
01:07:46,150 --> 01:07:47,490
for his second and final coming.

1760
01:07:48,150 --> 01:07:49,850
I can promise you, I feel it stronger

1761
01:07:49,850 --> 01:07:50,470
than ever before.

1762
01:07:50,570 --> 01:07:54,570
He's not coming through know-it-alls, fancy

1763
01:07:54,570 --> 01:07:56,070
polished preachers.

1764
01:07:56,650 --> 01:08:00,650
If you've got a gift to Oracle, preach,

1765
01:08:00,790 --> 01:08:01,310
that's awesome.

1766
01:08:01,370 --> 01:08:02,950
I'm just meaning the core heart of us,

1767
01:08:03,050 --> 01:08:04,870
that there's gonna be manger ministries again that

1768
01:08:04,870 --> 01:08:05,710
the Lord's gonna rest in.

1769
01:08:08,530 --> 01:08:12,950
Those that embrace true lowliness and humility, those

1770
01:08:12,950 --> 01:08:14,790
that walk under the yoke of the Lord

1771
01:08:14,790 --> 01:08:16,830
and have learned from him gentleness and meekness

1772
01:08:16,830 --> 01:08:18,310
resulting in Christ-like humility.

1773
01:08:19,310 --> 01:08:23,270
Love Psalm 51, 17 says, the sacrifices of

1774
01:08:23,270 --> 01:08:25,970
God are broken and contrite spirit.

1775
01:08:26,630 --> 01:08:28,970
These he will never deny or despise.

1776
01:08:29,870 --> 01:08:31,930
Brokenness and humility is what the Lord's coming

1777
01:08:31,930 --> 01:08:32,590
to rest in again.

1778
01:08:32,590 --> 01:08:34,830
And she laid him in a manger and

1779
01:08:34,830 --> 01:08:35,729
marked my words.

1780
01:08:35,810 --> 01:08:38,450
His first coming rested there and his second

1781
01:08:38,450 --> 01:08:39,649
final was gonna do the same.

1782
01:08:40,229 --> 01:08:42,689
He's gonna come again and be birthed and

1783
01:08:42,689 --> 01:08:46,729
rest in manger ministries, humble abodes.

1784
01:08:46,890 --> 01:08:49,330
I'm telling you, lowly dead vessels.

1785
01:08:50,170 --> 01:08:54,170
Please never see the manger again without remembering

1786
01:08:54,170 --> 01:08:54,430
this.

1787
01:08:54,830 --> 01:08:57,750
The wooden cross and the dead grass of

1788
01:08:57,750 --> 01:08:58,029
hay.

1789
01:08:58,590 --> 01:09:00,010
It is you and I, all flesh is

1790
01:09:00,010 --> 01:09:01,790
as grass because the breath of the Lord

1791
01:09:01,790 --> 01:09:04,270
breathes upon it because no flesh will glory

1792
01:09:04,270 --> 01:09:04,750
in his presence.

1793
01:09:04,830 --> 01:09:06,310
This is what he's resting upon, death and

1794
01:09:06,310 --> 01:09:06,710
humility.

1795
01:09:09,569 --> 01:09:11,149
So come Lord Jesus.

1796
01:09:15,359 --> 01:09:17,279
Point six, no room.

1797
01:09:17,359 --> 01:09:18,240
We're still in verse seven.

1798
01:09:18,380 --> 01:09:20,859
So she brought forth her firstborn son, wrapped

1799
01:09:20,859 --> 01:09:22,359
him in swaddling clothes, laid him in a

1800
01:09:22,359 --> 01:09:23,359
manger because why?

1801
01:09:23,779 --> 01:09:25,520
There was no room for them in the

1802
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:25,660
end.

1803
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:26,819
I kind of love this one.

1804
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:30,680
The masses will overlook who he is coming

1805
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:31,460
to and through.

1806
01:09:31,460 --> 01:09:34,080
And again, I'm projecting kind of a parallel

1807
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,720
from his first birth and coming into the

1808
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:37,760
earth to his second coming.

1809
01:09:38,620 --> 01:09:40,279
And I'm seeing these similarities that I think

1810
01:09:40,279 --> 01:09:41,439
are gonna repeat themselves.

1811
01:09:42,220 --> 01:09:43,760
And there was no room for him then,

1812
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:45,340
there'll be no room again.

1813
01:09:45,979 --> 01:09:48,560
The masses will overlook who he's coming to

1814
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:49,020
and through.

1815
01:09:50,340 --> 01:09:52,520
Only later to realize that they made room

1816
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:54,140
for so many other things and so many

1817
01:09:54,140 --> 01:09:55,680
other ones, but the one.

1818
01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:59,020
I'm telling you, it's gonna get overlooked.

1819
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:01,680
The last hour birthing is going to come

1820
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:05,440
through unexpected ones and unexpected houses.

1821
01:10:06,780 --> 01:10:08,720
There are many others that people are going

1822
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:10,040
to make room for and assume.

1823
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,220
Even the modern day Samuels won't suspect that

1824
01:10:13,220 --> 01:10:14,160
little David is the one.

1825
01:10:14,260 --> 01:10:16,160
It's gotta be his brothers, for sure.

1826
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,160
A little David hidden, back side of nowhere,

1827
01:10:19,300 --> 01:10:23,760
taking out bears and lions, you know, leading

1828
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:24,960
unto the Goliaths.

1829
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:26,780
It's going to be though, these manger menace,

1830
01:10:26,820 --> 01:10:30,240
these lowly ones that they're gonna make no

1831
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:30,740
room for.

1832
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:32,920
I'm speaking to the church specifically.

1833
01:10:33,060 --> 01:10:36,060
I believe it's gonna get like so overlooked.

1834
01:10:36,220 --> 01:10:36,900
I promise you.

1835
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:38,880
And I believe it's nearer than we think,

1836
01:10:39,340 --> 01:10:40,080
the move of God.

1837
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,500
I believe it's coming through manger ministries that

1838
01:10:42,500 --> 01:10:44,600
do not care, they're dead, they're over it

1839
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:44,820
all.

1840
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,760
And the world for sure, but even the

1841
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:50,700
church is gonna miss it.

1842
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:52,080
They're not gonna make room for them because

1843
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:52,820
they're gonna overlook it.

1844
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:56,000
I promise you, whoever ran that in, or

1845
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:57,960
they had the guest room, if they knew

1846
01:10:57,960 --> 01:10:59,120
that was the son of God in that

1847
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:00,820
womb, oh, they would have made room.

1848
01:11:01,420 --> 01:11:02,720
They would have got out of the master

1849
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:04,740
bedroom and slept in the fields to make

1850
01:11:04,740 --> 01:11:06,300
room, but people are gonna overlook it, look

1851
01:11:06,300 --> 01:11:06,820
at it and miss it.

1852
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:09,280
You know, you saw something similar.

1853
01:11:09,940 --> 01:11:11,580
What was it last year at Asbury broke

1854
01:11:11,580 --> 01:11:11,760
out?

1855
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:12,680
Nobody saw that coming.

1856
01:11:13,620 --> 01:11:14,420
It's gonna be similar.

1857
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:15,840
And I love it.

1858
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:17,480
There's gonna be as many other that people

1859
01:11:17,480 --> 01:11:19,460
are gonna expect and make room for that

1860
01:11:19,460 --> 01:11:20,500
they're gonna think it's gonna come through.

1861
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,720
It's not, it's gonna come through manger, lowly

1862
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:24,300
dead vessels.

1863
01:11:25,100 --> 01:11:26,400
And I love this because this is who

1864
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:26,900
the Lord is.

1865
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:27,540
This is what he's after.

1866
01:11:30,500 --> 01:11:32,740
Another reason is because the next final last

1867
01:11:32,740 --> 01:11:35,100
move, last day birthing is going to not

1868
01:11:35,100 --> 01:11:37,680
only come through major ministries, but simultaneously like

1869
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:39,600
Mary be kept and pondered in their heart.

1870
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:44,540
We read that earlier, it's verse 19, but

1871
01:11:44,540 --> 01:11:46,400
this is important.

1872
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:51,500
You're not going to find them surrounding everything

1873
01:11:51,500 --> 01:11:52,060
with hype.

1874
01:11:54,060 --> 01:11:55,900
So who the Lord's coming to be birthed

1875
01:11:55,900 --> 01:11:57,820
through again, it's gonna be similar to Mary

1876
01:11:57,820 --> 01:12:00,560
and Joseph, pondering things in their heart.

1877
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:01,900
You're not gonna know half the time what

1878
01:12:01,900 --> 01:12:03,460
they know from revelation, what the Lord's showing

1879
01:12:03,460 --> 01:12:05,860
them and speaking is you're gonna ponder it

1880
01:12:05,860 --> 01:12:07,520
in their heart and want him to get

1881
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:07,780
glory.

1882
01:12:07,860 --> 01:12:08,900
They don't care that you know.

1883
01:12:09,860 --> 01:12:11,560
I mean, I can imagine Mary could have

1884
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:15,320
told the end, the end when they said,

1885
01:12:15,440 --> 01:12:16,000
there's no room here.

1886
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:18,020
She gonna be like, do you know who

1887
01:12:18,020 --> 01:12:18,980
you're talking to?

1888
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:23,300
The Gabriel, the angel Gabriel came to me.

1889
01:12:23,580 --> 01:12:26,160
In my womb is Jesus, the son of

1890
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:26,420
God.

1891
01:12:26,440 --> 01:12:28,160
I know this by angelic source.

1892
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:31,500
My husband, he's given dreams in the night

1893
01:12:31,500 --> 01:12:33,460
from angel, whatever, she could have put everything

1894
01:12:33,460 --> 01:12:36,980
on blast, surrounded all the hype and got

1895
01:12:36,980 --> 01:12:38,480
a place there, but she just pondered it

1896
01:12:38,480 --> 01:12:40,060
in her heart and went the lowly way.

1897
01:12:40,140 --> 01:12:41,740
She was totally fine out in the dirt

1898
01:12:41,740 --> 01:12:42,400
with the animals.

1899
01:12:43,780 --> 01:12:45,300
These are the type people I'm telling you

1900
01:12:45,300 --> 01:12:47,380
the Lord's coming through, but he's not gonna

1901
01:12:47,380 --> 01:12:49,600
come through people that are surrounding everything with

1902
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:49,960
hype.

1903
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:55,400
Listen to me, it's coming through lowly, manger

1904
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:57,560
abodes, major ministries that are dead.

1905
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:00,820
Cross and dead grass that the Lord's breathed

1906
01:13:00,820 --> 01:13:01,140
upon.

1907
01:13:01,440 --> 01:13:02,820
They let him have his way.

1908
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:05,600
And that the Lord's like, there we go.

1909
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:07,520
Finally, that's why I came the first time

1910
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:08,740
and I'm coming again through that.

1911
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:10,460
That's what I rest in.

1912
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,260
That's what I get laid in.

1913
01:13:12,440 --> 01:13:15,820
People that first wrapped me, the depth of

1914
01:13:15,820 --> 01:13:16,980
all of who they are is about me

1915
01:13:16,980 --> 01:13:18,520
first, not what's in it for them.

1916
01:13:18,980 --> 01:13:20,700
They love those truths and they do know

1917
01:13:20,700 --> 01:13:23,160
they apply, but they love, they pray because

1918
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:23,420
of him.

1919
01:13:23,480 --> 01:13:24,640
They give and serve because of him, they

1920
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:25,780
obey because of him, they wrap him.

1921
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:29,540
Then he's gonna lay and rest in humility

1922
01:13:29,540 --> 01:13:33,500
and death because that's who he is.

1923
01:13:34,860 --> 01:13:37,300
And so you're not, trust me, he's not

1924
01:13:37,300 --> 01:13:38,260
gonna rest fully.

1925
01:13:38,740 --> 01:13:40,280
He's with them, he loves them, all this,

1926
01:13:40,340 --> 01:13:42,500
but he's not, and I wanna encourage us

1927
01:13:42,500 --> 01:13:43,740
too for us to run from this type

1928
01:13:43,740 --> 01:13:44,060
stuff.

1929
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:45,480
This is not what the Lord's coming to

1930
01:13:45,480 --> 01:13:46,280
and through, he's not.

1931
01:13:47,020 --> 01:13:48,360
He didn't come the first time and the

1932
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:49,880
second time, he's not coming through hype.

1933
01:13:52,440 --> 01:13:54,660
People looking to put on some show to

1934
01:13:54,660 --> 01:13:57,500
get more subscribers, and that's great if you're

1935
01:13:57,500 --> 01:13:58,040
touching the world.

1936
01:13:58,120 --> 01:13:59,880
I'm just saying the heart, I'm addressing the

1937
01:13:59,880 --> 01:14:05,460
heart, looking to grow followers and get YouTube

1938
01:14:05,460 --> 01:14:06,600
plaques and all this stuff.

1939
01:14:06,700 --> 01:14:08,640
And again, I'm not against, do your thing.

1940
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:10,080
I'm just saying all this stuff's gonna melt

1941
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:11,080
in his eyes one day.

1942
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:17,860
And he's not, he's coming through hidden, manger,

1943
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:20,500
lowly ones that it's not false either.

1944
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:22,880
They just love him and they wanna glorify

1945
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:23,160
him.

1946
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:26,080
They're not trying to search for earthly accolades

1947
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:31,420
and use clickbait imagery to pull more attention.

1948
01:14:31,620 --> 01:14:33,080
They don't care about your attention.

1949
01:14:34,420 --> 01:14:37,880
They're just happy enough being out in the

1950
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:42,760
dirt and caring for him, wrapping him, ministering

1951
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:45,640
to him, and laying him in humility and

1952
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:45,840
death.

1953
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:46,800
That's where he's gonna rest.

1954
01:14:47,540 --> 01:14:48,700
This is it.

1955
01:14:48,780 --> 01:14:49,900
And this is why so many people are

1956
01:14:49,900 --> 01:14:52,820
gonna miss it because we, as humans, fall

1957
01:14:52,820 --> 01:14:55,520
for all the shiny and glittery and glamorous

1958
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:58,360
and notable on the horizontal plane.

1959
01:14:58,420 --> 01:14:59,740
That stuff, I already touched that with Caesar

1960
01:14:59,740 --> 01:15:02,000
Augustus first, that stuff's not notable in heaven.

1961
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:05,300
What's notable by heaven is people that sit

1962
01:15:05,300 --> 01:15:07,980
in the dirt and wrap the Lord and

1963
01:15:07,980 --> 01:15:10,820
look like vessels of death and humility.

1964
01:15:11,420 --> 01:15:12,840
That's where he's gonna rest in, and that's

1965
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:13,880
why so many people are gonna miss it.

1966
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:14,980
They're not gonna make room for it.

1967
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:21,020
I have here stuff in my notes, I

1968
01:15:21,020 --> 01:15:22,620
may not go here, but just, I don't

1969
01:15:22,620 --> 01:15:24,300
wanna step on toes, but I'm telling you,

1970
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:26,440
we've gotta get away from all of the,

1971
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:28,840
there's just a lot of nonsense that I

1972
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:29,640
wanna encourage you guys.

1973
01:15:29,740 --> 01:15:31,500
The Lord's not gonna rest fully in it.

1974
01:15:32,500 --> 01:15:34,080
And I'm always preaching to me, he's not

1975
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:36,080
going to rest fully in all the hype

1976
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:38,100
and the noise and the look at me

1977
01:15:38,100 --> 01:15:41,820
and the charts and the accomplishments and all

1978
01:15:41,820 --> 01:15:43,380
my accolades in the name of the Lord.

1979
01:15:45,580 --> 01:15:48,860
He's coming where nobody's noticing, and they're not

1980
01:15:48,860 --> 01:15:49,980
even making room for it.

1981
01:15:51,440 --> 01:15:54,140
We've gotta be the real thing hidden and

1982
01:15:54,140 --> 01:15:55,240
be comfortable there.

1983
01:15:58,380 --> 01:15:59,380
Listen to this, please.

1984
01:15:59,860 --> 01:16:01,920
Those that the Lord are coming to and

1985
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:04,900
through love the back shelf, they love it

1986
01:16:04,900 --> 01:16:05,220
there.

1987
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:07,520
They're not gonna say, you're gonna hear a

1988
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:08,040
peep out of them.

1989
01:16:08,060 --> 01:16:09,140
When you say you have no room there,

1990
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:10,160
that's fine.

1991
01:16:12,060 --> 01:16:14,200
Because in my womb is the son of

1992
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:14,500
God.

1993
01:16:14,620 --> 01:16:15,860
I know what's going on, he's speaking to

1994
01:16:15,860 --> 01:16:15,960
me.

1995
01:16:16,020 --> 01:16:17,020
Not because of me, because of him.

1996
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:18,340
I just, I gotta wrap him, I gotta

1997
01:16:18,340 --> 01:16:19,460
care for him, I gotta minister to him.

1998
01:16:20,900 --> 01:16:22,720
They don't, you tell them back shelf, they're

1999
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:23,980
like, I'm more comfortable here anyway.

2000
01:16:24,060 --> 01:16:25,360
I was never trying to be seen or

2001
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:28,660
known or need a special spot in the

2002
01:16:28,660 --> 01:16:28,840
end.

2003
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:30,220
Put me in the dirt, I don't care.

2004
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:33,840
Those that the Lord are coming to and

2005
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:35,340
through love the back shelf.

2006
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:36,940
So if you don't notice them and you

2007
01:16:36,940 --> 01:16:38,600
kind of neglect and ignore and don't make

2008
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:40,400
room for them, they're very comfortable there.

2009
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:42,160
And the Lord is too.

2010
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:46,960
They are very content with being overlooked because

2011
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:48,540
they were never trying to be seen in

2012
01:16:48,540 --> 01:16:49,220
the first place.

2013
01:16:49,820 --> 01:16:51,680
These are the ones he's coming to rest

2014
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:52,340
fully in.

2015
01:16:53,540 --> 01:16:56,220
He can partially rest and work as best

2016
01:16:56,220 --> 01:16:58,020
as he can with half dead vessels and

2017
01:16:58,020 --> 01:16:59,060
ones that are still about themselves.

2018
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:00,840
He loves you, but it's limited.

2019
01:17:01,620 --> 01:17:04,980
The Lord's gonna fully rest though in these

2020
01:17:04,980 --> 01:17:07,580
back shelf folks that are glad to be

2021
01:17:07,580 --> 01:17:07,880
overlooked.

2022
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:09,340
They don't care if you notice them or

2023
01:17:09,340 --> 01:17:09,620
not.

2024
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:11,060
They don't need you to make room for

2025
01:17:11,060 --> 01:17:11,180
them.

2026
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:12,380
And they're not gonna say a thing if

2027
01:17:12,380 --> 01:17:12,760
you don't.

2028
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:14,380
They're not gonna build a bunch of hype

2029
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:17,720
and show you all of their trophies and

2030
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:18,840
accomplishments.

2031
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:21,560
Mary didn't say a thing, she pondered it

2032
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:22,160
in her heart.

2033
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:22,780
That's beautiful.

2034
01:17:23,900 --> 01:17:25,500
She could have gave a rap sheet of

2035
01:17:25,500 --> 01:17:26,320
all the supernatural.

2036
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:28,680
And do you have any idea I'm pregnant,

2037
01:17:28,780 --> 01:17:29,380
but I'm a virgin?

2038
01:17:30,460 --> 01:17:32,100
Trust me, you wanna make room for me.

2039
01:17:32,460 --> 01:17:33,700
No, she never said a word.

2040
01:17:34,260 --> 01:17:35,360
And this is how the Lord was.

2041
01:17:35,940 --> 01:17:38,780
Ridiculed him, reviled, didn't say a word, go

2042
01:17:38,780 --> 01:17:39,640
under the tree.

2043
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:42,720
And so this is it, this is it.

2044
01:17:43,340 --> 01:17:45,380
Run from the hype, run from the noise

2045
01:17:45,380 --> 01:17:45,840
and the lights.

2046
01:17:45,900 --> 01:17:47,600
I'm telling you, this is the way.

2047
01:17:47,700 --> 01:17:48,360
It's so beautiful.

2048
01:17:50,580 --> 01:17:54,600
So anyway, point seven, that's kind of one

2049
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:55,180
of my favorites.

2050
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:55,920
They'll be honest.

2051
01:17:58,120 --> 01:17:59,660
They made no room for him.

2052
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:04,580
Verse seven, no, sorry, point seven, verse eight.

2053
01:18:04,580 --> 01:18:05,840
Let's go to verse eight, please.

2054
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:07,840
Now they were in the same country, shepherds

2055
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:09,840
living out in the fields, keeping watch over

2056
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:10,980
their flock by night.

2057
01:18:11,540 --> 01:18:14,960
Point seven, it's going to start with family,

2058
01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:18,180
Joseph, Mary, and the babe, capital B.

2059
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:21,320
And then it's gonna project and catapult to

2060
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:22,840
family, shepherds and their flock.

2061
01:18:22,980 --> 01:18:23,900
I love it, it could have gone to

2062
01:18:23,900 --> 01:18:27,120
anybody else, but the first people that it

2063
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:31,040
gets boomed from heaven to, by the way,

2064
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,000
this is another key point to note.

2065
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:35,860
Heaven can advertise for you.

2066
01:18:35,940 --> 01:18:38,620
You don't need to shout from the rooftops

2067
01:18:38,620 --> 01:18:39,720
and build all the hype and do the

2068
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:40,360
clickbait images.

2069
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:41,400
You don't need to do all that.

2070
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:45,200
Just follow, wrap him and make sure you're

2071
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:46,760
that vessel he can be laid in and

2072
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:47,960
rest in death and humility.

2073
01:18:48,780 --> 01:18:51,040
And the angels in heaven will pronounce what

2074
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:51,500
they need to.

2075
01:18:52,100 --> 01:18:52,860
It'll get known.

2076
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:55,660
And you don't even, trust me, need things

2077
01:18:55,660 --> 01:18:56,760
to be known, but he does for his

2078
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:57,060
glory.

2079
01:18:57,220 --> 01:18:58,340
Glory to God in the highest.

2080
01:18:58,420 --> 01:18:59,560
That's where we're going, verse 14.

2081
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:02,600
But where did it first go to?

2082
01:19:03,100 --> 01:19:04,320
Shepherds and their flock.

2083
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:07,180
I'm telling you, I'm feeling more and more

2084
01:19:07,180 --> 01:19:10,920
the local body of Christ, the local church

2085
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:11,420
family.

2086
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:15,860
Shepherds and their flock, the real ones, is

2087
01:19:15,860 --> 01:19:16,960
where this thing's going to.

2088
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:19,660
It's coming to family and being projected further

2089
01:19:19,660 --> 01:19:20,240
to family.

2090
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:22,340
And you notice they were nearby.

2091
01:19:22,480 --> 01:19:24,020
It's gonna be covenant ones that run together

2092
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:26,820
and are looking at the blueprint of heaven

2093
01:19:26,820 --> 01:19:27,380
in this hour.

2094
01:19:27,540 --> 01:19:29,100
They're looking at death and humility and they're

2095
01:19:29,100 --> 01:19:31,900
looking at the true shepherds and sheep.

2096
01:19:32,260 --> 01:19:34,280
Ezekiel 34 is powerful when you get time

2097
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:35,500
to maybe read it on another day.

2098
01:19:35,580 --> 01:19:37,200
I believe the Lord's, I believe it's a

2099
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:40,840
now, I'm getting excited, word that the Lord's

2100
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:46,220
on of rebuking false shepherds and affirming real

2101
01:19:46,220 --> 01:19:46,540
ones.

2102
01:19:48,420 --> 01:19:51,060
Rebuking bad sheep and affirming real ones.

2103
01:19:51,140 --> 01:19:53,140
Because sheep are the problem sometimes too.

2104
01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:56,400
They're disobedient, strong-willed, they don't wanna follow.

2105
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:59,500
You can only lead as well as somebody

2106
01:19:59,500 --> 01:20:00,180
else can follow.

2107
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:02,800
You know, and we're all following somebody and

2108
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:03,760
his name is Jesus Christ.

2109
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:05,900
But also there's order throughout the church and

2110
01:20:05,900 --> 01:20:07,240
the body and elders and all of it.

2111
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,000
Leaders and apostles, and I love it all,

2112
01:20:10,060 --> 01:20:10,520
I love it.

2113
01:20:11,020 --> 01:20:12,680
I'm always trying to find out where's the

2114
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:12,940
leader.

2115
01:20:13,540 --> 01:20:14,740
You know, I know it's in the Lord,

2116
01:20:14,820 --> 01:20:15,380
but I'm following.

2117
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:17,180
I love submission, getting an order.

2118
01:20:17,260 --> 01:20:18,320
I don't need to have a say-so.

2119
01:20:18,980 --> 01:20:19,640
What for?

2120
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:23,500
But I'm telling you, the real shepherds, you

2121
01:20:23,500 --> 01:20:25,640
notice they were in the same country, but

2122
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:27,880
they were out in the fields at night,

2123
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:29,740
which I think speaks of the last hour

2124
01:20:29,740 --> 01:20:32,260
darkness that Isaiah 60 says, deep darkness.

2125
01:20:33,300 --> 01:20:35,360
The people, darkness covering the earth, deep darkness,

2126
01:20:35,460 --> 01:20:35,780
the people.

2127
01:20:36,620 --> 01:20:39,920
These real shepherds in this last hour, that,

2128
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,160
and it's interesting, there's just so much here.

2129
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:45,640
It's gold, I'm trying to cover ground quick.

2130
01:20:45,780 --> 01:20:47,340
But Bethlehem means house of bread.

2131
01:20:47,440 --> 01:20:50,580
I believe there's these houses of the word

2132
01:20:50,580 --> 01:20:52,500
of God, bread of his presence and the

2133
01:20:52,500 --> 01:20:54,360
bread of his word, that these are the

2134
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:57,300
two staple factors, the spirit and word, that

2135
01:20:57,300 --> 01:20:59,580
they follow and stay on, and they feed

2136
01:20:59,580 --> 01:21:00,720
their flock the word.

2137
01:21:01,500 --> 01:21:03,300
You know, I love that Jesus said to

2138
01:21:03,300 --> 01:21:04,120
Peter, said, do you love me?

2139
01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:04,740
He said, I love you.

2140
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:05,820
He says, feed my sheep.

2141
01:21:06,580 --> 01:21:07,500
He says, Peter, you love me?

2142
01:21:07,620 --> 01:21:08,480
Feed my lambs.

2143
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:09,560
Do you love me?

2144
01:21:09,580 --> 01:21:10,160
Yes, Lord.

2145
01:21:11,220 --> 01:21:12,220
Feed my sheep.

2146
01:21:13,180 --> 01:21:14,820
It's very important to the Lord that we

2147
01:21:14,820 --> 01:21:18,580
feed and we eat and feed the word

2148
01:21:18,580 --> 01:21:19,060
of God.

2149
01:21:19,700 --> 01:21:22,000
And so also coming to family, but also

2150
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,640
where is it being projected to?

2151
01:21:23,820 --> 01:21:24,900
Shepherds with their flocks.

2152
01:21:25,780 --> 01:21:28,740
The local church, I'm telling you, and it's

2153
01:21:28,740 --> 01:21:30,520
ironic that you see old moves of God

2154
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:32,440
and they typically break out in and through

2155
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:34,360
local community in the body.

2156
01:21:35,060 --> 01:21:36,820
It's usually not some maverick running around out

2157
01:21:36,820 --> 01:21:36,960
there.

2158
01:21:37,020 --> 01:21:39,280
They can help fuel and join, but it's

2159
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:41,180
always gonna be, and I think it's going

2160
01:21:41,180 --> 01:21:44,460
further onto starting at family, going to family.

2161
01:21:46,300 --> 01:21:48,140
But I do wanna tell you, I feel

2162
01:21:48,140 --> 01:21:49,960
like that Ezekiel 34 is a now thing

2163
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:51,840
where the Lord's addressing false shepherds.

2164
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:55,120
The games are over and he's affirming and

2165
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:58,660
breathing upon the real ones that are following

2166
01:21:58,660 --> 01:21:59,120
the Lord.

2167
01:21:59,580 --> 01:22:02,680
And again, there's many different models and expressions

2168
01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:03,220
out there.

2169
01:22:03,260 --> 01:22:05,000
So let's make grace for each other and

2170
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:06,260
realize we all need each other and where

2171
01:22:06,260 --> 01:22:07,800
the body and the hand looks nothing like

2172
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:09,060
the foot, but we need each other.

2173
01:22:09,700 --> 01:22:11,600
And let's never put the model over the

2174
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:11,940
man.

2175
01:22:12,500 --> 01:22:14,460
The man must stay over the model or

2176
01:22:14,460 --> 01:22:15,260
we get it twisted.

2177
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:16,660
We'll get all, because a lot of times,

2178
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:18,560
because your model doesn't look like mine, you

2179
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:20,020
don't have it going on because I know

2180
01:22:20,020 --> 01:22:23,380
we need to stop all that and make

2181
01:22:23,380 --> 01:22:25,680
room for keeping the man, capital M, Jesus

2182
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:27,320
Christ on top.

2183
01:22:27,480 --> 01:22:28,900
And then whatever that model looks like, great.

2184
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:31,800
Obviously in the context of the word, you

2185
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:33,080
never wanna get on biblical, but you know

2186
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:33,360
what I mean?

2187
01:22:35,180 --> 01:22:37,640
But I believe the Lord is starting to

2188
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:40,920
check, hold accountable and correct the false shepherds

2189
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:44,140
or ones that are veering, have veered, affirming

2190
01:22:44,140 --> 01:22:44,820
the real ones.

2191
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:46,660
And same thing with the sheep.

2192
01:22:46,660 --> 01:22:48,360
A lot of people always wanna point their

2193
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:50,220
finger to the shepherd or sometimes the shepherds

2194
01:22:50,220 --> 01:22:51,700
always wanna point to the sheep, but it's

2195
01:22:51,700 --> 01:22:52,340
across the board.

2196
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:54,780
His glory, his will, his word and way.

2197
01:22:55,660 --> 01:22:58,180
And the sheep that are causing issues too,

2198
01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:00,780
they're gonna get checked and which we all

2199
01:23:00,780 --> 01:23:00,960
are.

2200
01:23:01,100 --> 01:23:02,680
We all follow the good shepherd, but you

2201
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:02,980
know what I mean?

2202
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:08,160
So anyway, point seven, going to start in

2203
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:10,920
family, but be a spread to family.

2204
01:23:12,860 --> 01:23:17,300
Point eight, and behold, verse nine, and behold,

2205
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:19,620
the angel of the Lord stood before them.

2206
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:21,460
It triggered the angel of the Lord to

2207
01:23:21,460 --> 01:23:22,060
the shepherds.

2208
01:23:22,380 --> 01:23:26,460
Point eight, I believe angels, heaven, kingdom backing

2209
01:23:26,460 --> 01:23:30,800
by both proclamation and power are going to

2210
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:33,780
increase like never before as this, the birthing

2211
01:23:33,780 --> 01:23:34,760
of his second coming.

2212
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:37,600
As we look to his first coming and

2213
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:39,460
look at this repeat parallel that's gonna happen,

2214
01:23:39,460 --> 01:23:42,980
I believe the same process is gonna unfold.

2215
01:23:45,180 --> 01:23:48,360
But we must find our there, start family.

2216
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:50,420
He's on that so much right now.

2217
01:23:51,500 --> 01:23:54,800
Remain at your there and then let things

2218
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:55,840
continue to unfold.

2219
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:58,840
But then once it goes to family and

2220
01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:01,080
spreads to family, point seven, point eight is,

2221
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:04,740
I believe heaven is going to start coming

2222
01:24:04,740 --> 01:24:07,640
in a way like we've not seen ever

2223
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:11,940
before with angelic backing, resources, revelation, power, proclamations,

2224
01:24:12,060 --> 01:24:12,420
all of it.

2225
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:15,260
Just as you see here, I have here,

2226
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:17,140
as the king draws nearer to the earth

2227
01:24:17,140 --> 01:24:19,700
for his second final coming, his kingdom will

2228
01:24:19,700 --> 01:24:20,360
do the same.

2229
01:24:21,540 --> 01:24:23,220
We're going to start seeing a heavenly involvement

2230
01:24:23,220 --> 01:24:24,880
like never before on all fronts.

2231
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:27,380
And as I mentioned earlier, with his divine

2232
01:24:27,380 --> 01:24:29,400
order, and I'm really excited about that one,

2233
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:30,500
and we're seeing it.

2234
01:24:30,540 --> 01:24:32,380
I'm so grateful, so thankful.

2235
01:24:33,180 --> 01:24:34,560
We're starting to see the Lord do so

2236
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:35,140
many things.

2237
01:24:35,140 --> 01:24:38,980
So yeah, his power, his domain, his authority,

2238
01:24:39,180 --> 01:24:43,040
deliverance, proclamation, the revelation, the supernatural, but also

2239
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:43,820
his divine order.

2240
01:24:44,220 --> 01:24:45,640
And he sets houses in order.

2241
01:24:45,700 --> 01:24:46,540
He brings divine order.

2242
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:48,620
It looks like so many different things I

2243
01:24:48,620 --> 01:24:49,260
touched on earlier.

2244
01:24:49,640 --> 01:24:51,820
So expect that to come more fully.

2245
01:24:53,340 --> 01:24:54,940
Keep reading verse nine, and behold, an angel

2246
01:24:54,940 --> 01:24:56,160
of the Lord stood before them and the

2247
01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:57,780
glory of the Lord shone around them.

2248
01:24:57,880 --> 01:24:59,800
The manifest glory of God's coming again.

2249
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:05,260
As he gets projected through family to family,

2250
01:25:06,780 --> 01:25:09,580
heaven's backing coming stronger than ever before, and

2251
01:25:09,580 --> 01:25:11,220
the glory of the Lord shone around them.

2252
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:12,820
I believe the manifest glory of the Lord.

2253
01:25:14,100 --> 01:25:17,580
And 10, the awe of God.

2254
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:20,100
It says the glory shone around them and

2255
01:25:20,100 --> 01:25:21,320
they were greatly afraid.

2256
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:24,960
I love Matthew 17 on the Mount of

2257
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:25,680
Transfiguration.

2258
01:25:25,780 --> 01:25:26,720
You can just kind of see a picture

2259
01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:26,980
of this.

2260
01:25:26,980 --> 01:25:30,900
It says a bright cloud overshadowed them, Peter,

2261
01:25:30,980 --> 01:25:33,400
James, and John, and they fell on their

2262
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:35,100
faces and were greatly afraid.

2263
01:25:35,780 --> 01:25:39,300
A bright cloud overshadowed them, the glory, and

2264
01:25:39,300 --> 01:25:41,280
they fell on their faces and were afraid.

2265
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:44,500
When the glory comes, the reverential awe comes

2266
01:25:44,500 --> 01:25:45,220
and vice versa.

2267
01:25:45,340 --> 01:25:46,540
When the fear of the Lord comes, so

2268
01:25:46,540 --> 01:25:47,180
comes the glory.

2269
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:49,900
And so I sense this more than ever

2270
01:25:49,900 --> 01:25:53,760
before that as we find our there, this

2271
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:57,460
is the personal application, find your there, start

2272
01:25:57,460 --> 01:25:58,960
family, just get over you.

2273
01:25:59,500 --> 01:26:01,040
Stop, I'm telling you, the quicker we can

2274
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:02,560
do this and just don't even care about

2275
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:03,420
your destiny anymore.

2276
01:26:03,500 --> 01:26:04,260
Let him worry about that.

2277
01:26:04,380 --> 01:26:05,540
Love God and love people.

2278
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:06,900
Just do the first two commandments.

2279
01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:10,680
Go to the most awkward person first.

2280
01:26:10,780 --> 01:26:11,540
Go ahead and die quicker.

2281
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:12,880
Go to the people you don't get along

2282
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:13,140
with.

2283
01:26:13,580 --> 01:26:16,200
If you know that you're there, because then

2284
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:16,700
it's just family.

2285
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:22,180
Get tethered in, love them, and lay your

2286
01:26:22,180 --> 01:26:24,400
preferences and your conveniences down.

2287
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:27,020
But what's convenient for me, that's out the

2288
01:26:27,020 --> 01:26:27,240
window.

2289
01:26:27,420 --> 01:26:28,240
We're kingdom people.

2290
01:26:29,100 --> 01:26:30,680
We lay our life down for others.

2291
01:26:31,780 --> 01:26:33,720
And then remain at your there.

2292
01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:36,720
And when you remain at your there, the

2293
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:38,960
days can be complete and then things start

2294
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:39,740
getting brought forth.

2295
01:26:40,220 --> 01:26:41,480
Destiny can start to happen.

2296
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:42,900
But just know God's the God of the

2297
01:26:42,900 --> 01:26:45,780
apple seed that brings fruit years later because

2298
01:26:45,780 --> 01:26:47,120
he's doing something in that process.

2299
01:26:47,260 --> 01:26:48,220
It's that in-between season.

2300
01:26:48,480 --> 01:26:51,020
That's where he's a master at, with the

2301
01:26:51,020 --> 01:26:53,340
potter and the wheel and us being the

2302
01:26:53,340 --> 01:26:53,600
clay.

2303
01:26:54,860 --> 01:26:57,020
But then in that, may we wrap him.

2304
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:00,140
Kind of recapping before the end, but lay

2305
01:27:00,140 --> 01:27:01,760
him, and what's he gonna rest and lay

2306
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:02,000
in?

2307
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:04,080
Manger ministries.

2308
01:27:04,620 --> 01:27:07,760
Dead, lowly, humble vessels that do not care

2309
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:08,360
to be over.

2310
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:10,860
If you overlook them, they weren't interested.

2311
01:27:11,100 --> 01:27:12,720
They're not gonna care at all because they

2312
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:13,620
weren't ever trying to be seen.

2313
01:27:14,180 --> 01:27:16,480
They're so comfortable in the back shelf and

2314
01:27:16,480 --> 01:27:19,160
you making no room for them because they

2315
01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:19,840
got overlooked.

2316
01:27:20,980 --> 01:27:22,540
And they're not gonna try and make sure

2317
01:27:22,540 --> 01:27:23,180
you see them.

2318
01:27:23,180 --> 01:27:24,700
They're not gonna pull out all the click

2319
01:27:24,700 --> 01:27:27,800
baits and jockey for all these positions and

2320
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:35,580
create these false, just imagery of, I'm trying

2321
01:27:35,580 --> 01:27:37,240
to be generic as well, but all these

2322
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:39,940
things that fool man to make them think

2323
01:27:39,940 --> 01:27:41,460
you're so special so you can have greater

2324
01:27:41,460 --> 01:27:42,240
impact, all that stuff.

2325
01:27:42,340 --> 01:27:42,920
Nobody cares.

2326
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:45,380
They just wanna love him and see him

2327
01:27:45,380 --> 01:27:45,920
glorified.

2328
01:27:47,180 --> 01:27:50,820
And then from this, it's gonna go from

2329
01:27:50,820 --> 01:27:51,560
family and to.

2330
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:54,180
It's gonna be projected to nearby covenant houses,

2331
01:27:54,340 --> 01:27:56,500
I believe, shepherds and their flocks, the real

2332
01:27:56,500 --> 01:27:58,160
ones that the Lord's aligning right now in

2333
01:27:58,160 --> 01:27:58,580
this hour.

2334
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:01,320
And the end time move, I'm telling you,

2335
01:28:01,480 --> 01:28:02,060
it's coming.

2336
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:04,940
And for his last time harvest, but he's

2337
01:28:04,940 --> 01:28:06,500
gonna do it through the local body, church

2338
01:28:06,500 --> 01:28:09,920
shepherds that are in the dark, really watching

2339
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:11,780
and feeding their flock, really feeding them, really

2340
01:28:11,780 --> 01:28:14,780
eating the bread and manna of heaven, the

2341
01:28:14,780 --> 01:28:17,920
word, and abiding in him and feeding from

2342
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:18,460
that place.

2343
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:20,840
It's gonna be healthy houses of bread.

2344
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:25,800
And then heaven backing's gonna come like never

2345
01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:27,260
before with the awe of God and the

2346
01:28:27,260 --> 01:28:28,620
manifest glory at the same time.

2347
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:30,740
Point 11, why?

2348
01:28:32,220 --> 01:28:34,680
That's verse 14, glory to God in the

2349
01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:35,060
highest.

2350
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:36,300
This is where I wanna land it.

2351
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Like, why is, why?

2352
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:39,560
Why are we going through all these steps?

2353
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:40,400
What for with us?

2354
01:28:40,460 --> 01:28:41,300
Why do we humble?

2355
01:28:41,420 --> 01:28:42,060
Why does the Lord rest?

2356
01:28:43,440 --> 01:28:45,780
So God may get glory in the highest.

2357
01:28:45,980 --> 01:28:47,240
It's what this whole thing's about.

2358
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:50,780
I love that after all this, the angel

2359
01:28:50,780 --> 01:28:53,080
with a multitude begin to praise God, saying

2360
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:54,680
glory to God in the highest.

2361
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:59,080
As this progression unfolded of the Lord's first

2362
01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:02,100
coming, well, this progression leading to his second

2363
01:29:02,100 --> 01:29:04,700
coming is gonna do the same thing, resulting

2364
01:29:04,700 --> 01:29:06,980
in God getting glory at the highest level.

2365
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:08,860
It's what this whole thing's about.

2366
01:29:09,660 --> 01:29:12,940
And so quick recap, and then we'll pray.

2367
01:29:14,580 --> 01:29:16,880
Just again, that wasn't quite to the 11

2368
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:20,760
points yet, but the government parallel, just to

2369
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:22,520
remind you of the one world order, it's

2370
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:24,560
just an awesome indicator that Luke 2 gives

2371
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:25,100
us.

2372
01:29:26,620 --> 01:29:29,080
That you'll see kinda, he's one world control,

2373
01:29:29,420 --> 01:29:35,880
census with financial gain in sight and also

2374
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:36,260
rule.

2375
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:38,840
And it's going to that one world control,

2376
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,620
one mark in one world currency.

2377
01:29:43,200 --> 01:29:45,440
And as that begins to repeat itself again,

2378
01:29:45,460 --> 01:29:47,460
we're gonna know his first coming that was

2379
01:29:47,460 --> 01:29:49,380
kinda similar and highlighted, well, it's coming again.

2380
01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:55,860
But also pulling from Caesar Augustus' illustrious divine

2381
01:29:55,860 --> 01:30:01,340
autobiography of himself, style leadership versus coming in

2382
01:30:01,340 --> 01:30:03,020
a manger and riding out on a borrowed

2383
01:30:03,020 --> 01:30:03,420
donkey.

2384
01:30:04,180 --> 01:30:06,260
Like, this is what we want, go this

2385
01:30:06,260 --> 01:30:06,480
way.

2386
01:30:06,980 --> 01:30:08,380
It's the way, the truth, and the life,

2387
01:30:08,460 --> 01:30:09,220
and his name is Jesus.

2388
01:30:10,100 --> 01:30:12,220
But back to the points, find you're there.

2389
01:30:12,540 --> 01:30:14,200
I really pray that, I'm gonna pray right

2390
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:16,340
now here in a second, but I'm telling

2391
01:30:16,340 --> 01:30:18,960
you, time's late, I didn't wear my watch

2392
01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:21,260
tonight, but it's short, time is short, Revelation

2393
01:30:21,260 --> 01:30:21,600
says.

2394
01:30:21,940 --> 01:30:24,980
He's coming, this is not the time to

2395
01:30:24,980 --> 01:30:26,900
keep playing, be playing games, a foot in

2396
01:30:26,900 --> 01:30:30,840
the world or not, and just kinda haphazard

2397
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:31,880
about the things of God.

2398
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:33,360
This is not the time, I'm telling you,

2399
01:30:33,400 --> 01:30:33,880
please hear me.

2400
01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:35,740
Please wake up, I feel it.

2401
01:30:35,740 --> 01:30:39,360
Wake up, get hungry again for God.

2402
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:41,920
Let's get sharp with our convictions, be sober.

2403
01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:43,240
The Bible says be sober.

2404
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:46,540
This is the time, and we must find

2405
01:30:46,540 --> 01:30:47,100
you're there.

2406
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:48,480
This is not the time to still be

2407
01:30:48,480 --> 01:30:52,420
out floating around just trying stuff out, and

2408
01:30:52,420 --> 01:30:54,680
with good old number one you still at

2409
01:30:54,680 --> 01:30:56,340
the core of why you're doing it.

2410
01:30:56,980 --> 01:30:58,800
And networking to build it, watch all that

2411
01:30:58,800 --> 01:30:59,940
come down so quickly.

2412
01:31:00,300 --> 01:31:03,060
As long as you try to network and

2413
01:31:03,060 --> 01:31:04,760
build you and connect with that, because that'll

2414
01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:05,840
help me, and if I know them though,

2415
01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:07,560
they'll help me and build me and me,

2416
01:31:07,580 --> 01:31:07,880
me, me.

2417
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:09,820
Watch how fast it comes down.

2418
01:31:10,740 --> 01:31:12,560
That's not what the Lord's doing right now.

2419
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:17,140
He's having people find they're there and start

2420
01:31:17,140 --> 01:31:17,560
family.

2421
01:31:18,820 --> 01:31:22,080
Does that look different from expression to expression,

2422
01:31:22,220 --> 01:31:25,320
region to region, oh yeah, model to model.

2423
01:31:26,140 --> 01:31:28,880
But he's doing that, and he's actually using

2424
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:30,740
family to prepare his bride for the eternal

2425
01:31:30,740 --> 01:31:31,100
family.

2426
01:31:32,140 --> 01:31:34,200
And then when you're there and you get

2427
01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:36,100
tethered into the fabric of the family of

2428
01:31:36,100 --> 01:31:39,300
God that looks like dying and being chiseled

2429
01:31:39,300 --> 01:31:40,860
out as a living stone from first Peter

2430
01:31:40,860 --> 01:31:43,980
two, and cut and measured and placed, and

2431
01:31:43,980 --> 01:31:47,000
when you fit in, that's the perfect expression

2432
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:49,540
of love because you're cut for the other,

2433
01:31:50,380 --> 01:31:52,560
and we're all fit into the chief cornerstone

2434
01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:53,420
found in Jesus Christ.

2435
01:31:53,540 --> 01:31:54,580
That's where we wanna be.

2436
01:31:55,220 --> 01:31:57,300
You don't wanna keep your edges and just

2437
01:31:57,300 --> 01:31:58,580
make everybody fit to you.

2438
01:31:59,140 --> 01:32:00,600
That's not the end time model.

2439
01:32:00,700 --> 01:32:01,760
That's not what he's doing right now.

2440
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:06,240
So start family and then remain in your

2441
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:06,720
there.

2442
01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:08,780
We must do this so the days can

2443
01:32:08,780 --> 01:32:11,000
complete themselves because if the days don't complete,

2444
01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:11,940
you bring forth nothing.

2445
01:32:12,980 --> 01:32:16,700
Quit getting hurt and offended and short-circuiting

2446
01:32:16,700 --> 01:32:17,600
your there, remain there.

2447
01:32:17,680 --> 01:32:19,440
Just remain, just trust me, wherever that's at

2448
01:32:19,440 --> 01:32:21,340
for you under the sound of my voice

2449
01:32:21,340 --> 01:32:22,500
across the world, remain there.

2450
01:32:23,100 --> 01:32:26,340
Find it, start family, remain there, and then

2451
01:32:26,340 --> 01:32:28,060
live a lifestyle that wraps him.

2452
01:32:28,560 --> 01:32:31,720
Let's try and go deeper now in wrapping

2453
01:32:31,720 --> 01:32:32,260
him.

2454
01:32:33,440 --> 01:32:36,740
Keep all of the biblical truths that apply

2455
01:32:36,740 --> 01:32:41,020
back to you of yes, if I read

2456
01:32:41,020 --> 01:32:44,200
the word of God, it'll keep me pure

2457
01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:45,700
and life will be successful.

2458
01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:47,320
I'll bear fruit if I abide in him

2459
01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:48,080
because I'll bear fruit.

2460
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:50,580
Yeah, these are biblical truths that are amazing,

2461
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:53,880
but I believe things are deepening now to

2462
01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:56,680
where we're wrapping him, and there is nothing

2463
01:32:56,680 --> 01:32:57,160
in it for me.

2464
01:32:57,160 --> 01:32:58,020
Will there be?

2465
01:32:58,220 --> 01:33:01,220
Oh yeah, because that's just biblical protocol, and

2466
01:33:01,220 --> 01:33:04,160
that's the result of these things, but may

2467
01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:06,500
we with the temporal cost of our love

2468
01:33:06,500 --> 01:33:09,600
begin to serve, give, obey, love, worship, adore,

2469
01:33:09,700 --> 01:33:11,720
and wrap the Lord in this hour.

2470
01:33:12,260 --> 01:33:18,380
Point five, he's gonna rest fully in lowly

2471
01:33:18,380 --> 01:33:20,340
dead vessels that look like a manger.

2472
01:33:20,500 --> 01:33:23,980
He's coming through manger ministries and lowly abodes,

2473
01:33:24,420 --> 01:33:29,780
vessels that, point six, are not gonna have

2474
01:33:29,780 --> 01:33:30,620
room made for him.

2475
01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:31,460
They're gonna get overlooked.

2476
01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:33,880
The masses will overlook who he's coming to

2477
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:37,020
and through only later to realize that they

2478
01:33:37,020 --> 01:33:38,640
made room for so many other things and

2479
01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:40,360
so many other ones except for the one.

2480
01:33:41,320 --> 01:33:42,480
So be comfortable with that.

2481
01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:47,260
Be content being back-shelfed and overlooked.

2482
01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:50,900
Just love him, give him glory and be

2483
01:33:50,900 --> 01:33:51,620
content with what he's coming to.

2484
01:33:51,860 --> 01:33:54,600
Point seven, just for us to look out

2485
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:56,620
for and be in the wave of God's

2486
01:33:56,620 --> 01:33:58,420
grace and move in this last hour, he's

2487
01:33:58,420 --> 01:34:02,040
going to spread from family to family, shepherds

2488
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:02,540
and flocks.

2489
01:34:03,820 --> 01:34:05,100
What's that gonna look like?

2490
01:34:05,240 --> 01:34:06,940
Heaven's backing like never before.

2491
01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:11,960
Proclamation, power, angelic, heavenly host, supernatural, but also

2492
01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:14,180
the kingdom way of divine order.

2493
01:34:14,340 --> 01:34:16,820
It's going to come into our homes, into

2494
01:34:16,820 --> 01:34:17,660
our churches.

2495
01:34:18,140 --> 01:34:21,240
Our workplace is gonna start aligning things to

2496
01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:21,940
his order.

2497
01:34:22,100 --> 01:34:23,840
It looks beautiful and it flows like butter

2498
01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:26,200
because everybody's dead and loves him and wants

2499
01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:26,940
him enthroned.

2500
01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:30,180
The glory of the Lord is gonna surround,

2501
01:34:30,260 --> 01:34:30,820
point nine.

2502
01:34:31,020 --> 01:34:33,940
So with the heavenly kingdom coming with the

2503
01:34:33,940 --> 01:34:37,240
king is his glory, his manifest glory is

2504
01:34:37,240 --> 01:34:39,540
gonna come again and surround, not just be

2505
01:34:39,540 --> 01:34:41,780
in pockets, it's going to surround and envelop.

2506
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:42,760
I love Isaiah six.

2507
01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:45,980
It says that the, I believe the seraphim

2508
01:34:47,060 --> 01:34:49,640
looked down and said, behold, the whole earth

2509
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:51,040
is full of his glory.

2510
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:52,860
We're coming into that.

2511
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:55,400
Yes, deep darkness, but great glory is gonna

2512
01:34:55,400 --> 01:34:55,780
shine.

2513
01:34:55,880 --> 01:34:59,100
It's gonna surround the shepherds.

2514
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:03,820
Oh, but back to point seven, Ezekiel 34,

2515
01:35:03,980 --> 01:35:04,540
super curate.

2516
01:35:04,620 --> 01:35:08,500
I believe he's affirming the good shepherds, chastising,

2517
01:35:08,700 --> 01:35:10,200
rebuking, correcting the false ones.

2518
01:35:10,820 --> 01:35:13,000
And the same thing with sheep, good and

2519
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:13,220
bad.

2520
01:35:13,220 --> 01:35:16,200
We must lead well and follow well in

2521
01:35:16,200 --> 01:35:16,620
this hour.

2522
01:35:17,440 --> 01:35:19,180
10, with the glory of the Lord's coming

2523
01:35:19,180 --> 01:35:20,840
the awe and fear of God like never

2524
01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:21,340
before.

2525
01:35:22,280 --> 01:35:26,640
And number, point 11, number 11, why glory

2526
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:28,700
to God in the highest, that God may

2527
01:35:28,700 --> 01:35:30,420
be glorified above it all to the highest

2528
01:35:30,420 --> 01:35:31,780
capacity he ever could.

2529
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:33,300
It's always in and through his son.

2530
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:35,200
So I wanna pray with you.

2531
01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:37,460
Thank you for hanging with me in the

2532
01:35:37,460 --> 01:35:37,720
word.

2533
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:38,340
I'm excited.

2534
01:35:38,540 --> 01:35:40,100
May he change us, transform us.

2535
01:35:40,100 --> 01:35:44,640
And I pray that the end of this

2536
01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:46,560
year is rich in his glory, but projects

2537
01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:50,620
you into this next year of him taking

2538
01:35:50,620 --> 01:35:53,000
precedent overall, knowing him and loving him above

2539
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:54,160
all things that he get glory.

2540
01:35:54,440 --> 01:35:56,340
So Lord, I just thank you so much

2541
01:35:56,340 --> 01:35:57,180
for each and every one.

2542
01:35:58,100 --> 01:35:59,960
I bless you again in the name of

2543
01:35:59,960 --> 01:36:00,420
the Lord.

2544
01:36:01,060 --> 01:36:04,600
And I pray that you'd give us grace,

2545
01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:04,820
Lord.

2546
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:06,580
I pray right now even there'd be supernatural

2547
01:36:06,580 --> 01:36:10,180
revelation for many that need to find they're

2548
01:36:10,180 --> 01:36:10,600
there.

2549
01:36:10,920 --> 01:36:12,500
And I pray you'd help them clean the

2550
01:36:12,500 --> 01:36:14,360
slate again and hear you clearly and get

2551
01:36:14,360 --> 01:36:17,240
over preferences and circumstances and looking at all

2552
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:19,600
the temporal and just hear you, hear you

2553
01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:20,500
clearly and obey.

2554
01:36:21,800 --> 01:36:23,540
And I pray you'd help us start family,

2555
01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:28,540
help us get over us and allow the

2556
01:36:28,540 --> 01:36:31,620
chiseling tool of your word to make us

2557
01:36:31,620 --> 01:36:33,960
living stones fit into one another.

2558
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:36,860
It ultimately locks into you the chief cornerstone,

2559
01:36:37,060 --> 01:36:37,220
Lord.

2560
01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:41,660
Let us remain there once we find it.

2561
01:36:41,780 --> 01:36:43,340
So the days can be complete.

2562
01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:46,020
So you Jesus Christ can be brought forth

2563
01:36:46,020 --> 01:36:46,720
through our life.

2564
01:36:47,420 --> 01:36:49,400
And I pray, Lord, you'd help us wrap

2565
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:52,300
you, make you priority and love you well,

2566
01:36:52,440 --> 01:36:55,700
obey you, serve you, minister to you.

2567
01:36:56,220 --> 01:36:57,940
And I pray you'd make us those manger

2568
01:36:57,940 --> 01:37:01,080
vessels of lowliness and death.

2569
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:03,280
There would be living sacrifices, Romans 12, that

2570
01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:05,120
you'd rest in fully, make us that people

2571
01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:06,500
that are glad to be overlooked, Lord.

2572
01:37:07,060 --> 01:37:08,940
Let us be the ones that there's no

2573
01:37:08,940 --> 01:37:09,700
room made for.

2574
01:37:10,100 --> 01:37:12,460
And we're so comfortable there being back-shelved

2575
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:15,720
and overlooked for your glory.

2576
01:37:15,980 --> 01:37:17,280
And Lord, I say your kingdom come on

2577
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:18,280
earth as it is in heaven.

2578
01:37:18,480 --> 01:37:20,840
Thank you that you're starting from family, going

2579
01:37:20,840 --> 01:37:21,600
to family.

2580
01:37:23,180 --> 01:37:26,860
And may your glory reverential all come so

2581
01:37:26,860 --> 01:37:28,320
you can be glorified.

2582
01:37:28,540 --> 01:37:29,640
May you be glorified.

2583
01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:32,940
Glory to God in the highest in Jesus'

2584
01:37:33,300 --> 01:37:33,440
name.

2585
01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:34,440
Awesome.

2586
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:35,780
