26th February 2023 - Teaching Service - Clem Ferris - Trained in the struggle

Digging in the word to do should be great. You know, pastors need precious like athletes. It's a stressful job and it's work. It's spiritual working. Actually, like an athlete coaching, they need training and they need to have the right diet and all that. Just the way you would train for a physical exercise, you do passwords need that too. So I'm glad the Dave can he's juggling two jobs as it is, but I know there's conferences, Dave goes to and that helps coach him up and he's a reader, he's a learner. So most of all the best thing you can do is pray for Dave and Julian cuz they carry the leader of the church carries a different weight than anybody else. When everybody else leaves on Sunday all the tithing ups done the room is quiet again. They walk out of this room, carrying a different weight than some of you. Even those are probably because of the senior leader carries that particular responsibility. And so do that, but look him up in prayer, they meant specially to do so. Hey, good morning.

Now, I can start. I just said, I have to keep stalling to low. Rate rooms getting full, but I got to make room. McGrew forgot inside, but you got to keep making room. Quick testimony. Y'all know. Grace Church up in Sheffield England and Luke Jacobson lease at church and I was there last year and I said, do you need more chairs or not? Quite full yet I said you need to make room for more people. Sometimes pastors think when every chair is full. I'll put one more chair out for chairs. So we were messaging. Just Last month cuz I'm going to be visiting during June. What is almost as a psychological and sociological phenomena of creating space. It's like a restaurant. If you go to a restaurant and there's like no we got to wait. There's no tables. We got room for you on line. Of course I hate. I don't get yours your Kabob, you watch, you got room for you. So I do about making room. I just, I just think something's happening in the earth and whether it's, it's not just because there's a little revival going on in America, but there's things happening in other campuses. Things happening in schools things happening, where there's even pressure, even when there's times of Crisis, which revolve familiar with that word now, I mean the word crisis comes off. Our lips, much easier now because we're all been familiar with a crisis as well. There's an earthquake or a pandemic or whatever. So that's where we need Grace, that's the fuel rerun on Is the grace of God? I'm going to talk about that this morning. I want to talk about. A particular aspect of Grace. God's grace. Comes in all different sizes and shapes and colors. And so off. I will talk to you this morning about being trained. In the struggle. With sanctifying Grace being trained in the struggle. What's stronger talking about? I'm talking about your daily life, your Humanity, right? We all have a struggle going on, Paul described as several ways in the Bible using metaphors. Like the flesh that opposes the spirit. That's a struggle. Just the fact that you're still stuck in your car. Nobody, that's a struggle. The old man versus the new, man, he wrote to the Ephesians and sole justification. Describe, the struggle, but we are struggling in our temporary mortality until we finally hit eternity. We were all saying, yes. Amen, that day is going to go. Ashley, come for all of us. In the meantime, Grace is here. So look at the in Titus 2:11

Paul says, for the grace of God has appeared, just stop right there and just bask in that phrase. The grace of God has appeared. God didn't keep it to himself and didn't keep it in heaven. It came to Earth and I say it races personified for us in the Lord Jesus Christ, let me know Grace. When Jesus showed up, he was the personification of the grace of God. The grace of God has appeared and it doesn't come empty-handed. It brought something to us. Bringing salvation for all people training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled up, right? And godly lives in this present. Age, is a very long since it's been months since 4:13, waiting for our blessed, hope the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. This is still going his long sentence who gave himself for himself. A people for his own possessions. Who are zealous for? Good works. That's a long sentence Paul, man. He packs a lot of Theology and a lot of Doctrine in one sentence. And they just finished as by saying declare these things first, 15 exhort and rebuke with all the Thor t let no one. Disregard you.

Wow. The book of Titus short little book. Full of Doctrine. Judy, Jesus, teaches us about church church, leadership in eldership teaches us about the home husbands. Wives teaches us about the world and

The core is the idea that the grace of God has appeared. None of this would be possible.

Without the grace of God.

And God is in control of that, and I was a young boy. We lived in a small town till my teenage years. But when I was really going to maybe, five, six years old, I had an older sister. Then we end up at two other siblings later but it's just the two of us at the time and where we lived, we had a detached. I don't know. Who's right? Maybe the French are right. I don't know what age was detached from our main house and so if we were out, like for Sunday, driver visiting, grandparents, I never pull the car into the driveway. I need to stop by the house with a side door entrance and front me let my mother and sister out and they go in the house and then he would call me up from the back seat. Just sit on his lap and I would drive the car into the garage. How about that? At the age of 5? It was a big old is in the sorry. This car is like a 1957 Chevy Biscayne Parts in Cuba and the steering wheel was I mean is as big as a hula hoop. It was huge when grip it and like in my small little uneducated driving mind cuz I would sit in the back and watch my dad drive the car while I don't like this all the time. So I thought I would drive the car inside this house. From here to the back wall that far. And we get in there and I'm like a madman doing this and I'm thinking, I'm driving the car and we get in the house and post to my sister course. I just drove the car in the garage. Mr. Wonderful.

I never realized. All those times, I did that. I'm going like this, right? My father's hand was firmly on the bottom of that steering wheel. Gripping it very firmly. It wasn't going to go anywhere. He didn't want to think I never realized.

How many of you this morning assume? You're driving to car.

We all do, don't we? We really think we're driving the car. I got good news for you. Your father's hand is firmly on the wheel, he's in control. That's the grace of God.

The grace of God has appeared. Paul says, the tightest bringing salvation for all people. Yes, but looking for is 12 but Grace has also come to train us, training us. It's a Saving Grace. But it's a training Grace. And so, loving grace. Bring us to conversion thank God but it meets us the very next morning in the struggle to train us. I've heard many people say, I don't know what, I'm struggle was until I got saved. I didn't know what trouble was until I came to the kingdom of God is like, there's a battle going on. I didn't even know it. Because life is about a fierce struggle. Flash Spirit new man old man. Have you want to describe it? But the grace that appears is the grace, that remains God's grace, doesn't leave in the one of the one of the songs. We sang was so wonderful to remind us that it's, it's always their gods. Always their father's hand is always on the Wheel.

This word a p r. I love it. If a no, is the Greek word is where we get the word Epiphany. I mean, is it to shine to shine upon the grace of God? We were all in darkness, right? Kingdom called the kingdom of darkness. We were blind, we couldn't see. We thought that was normal life until the grace of God. And it shined Upon Our Darkness, it popped our eyes open and suddenly everything changed. And then that Grace Goes to work. Training Us in training, raw like spiritual athletes were all in training and so I'm going to share with you some things that Grace does. To train Us in the battle. These are the things that Grace is doing for you even right now. So five things this morning, that the grace of God is doing to train you in your battle. Number one, God by his grace actually reveals who the real enemy is. Y'all have an enemy and it's not just like the devil. Yeah. But it comes in all different shapes and sizes. The Devil comes at you, there's all kinds of things. The way that the enemy tries to lure us into his realm under his authority, try to influence our decisions, all those things. In the grace of God will train us.

And reveal the true enemy of our soul. Back 2 verse 12 weeks, training us to watch. What's that word renounce. Ungodliness. That's an enemy and worldly, passions. Basically the things that we long for that we shouldn't have. That's a worldly passion longing for that, which is forbidden. When those things start, Rising the grace of God will begin to act upon our soul. What are you going to call it conviction? Guilt have a stomach ache, I feel terrible. I should have done that your conscious start speaking to you Grace and Flames. Acts upon the soul and actually will reveal that impurity and cause it to rise up so you can deal with it. And the way we deal with it, interesting is this word renounce. Renouncing. Where Grace will expose you to the real point of attack. It's not him, it's not her, it's not. My boss is not the person in the car ahead of me that just won't drive right to know, it's The real point that God wants you to make a turn. Crisis. Like I said, we're used to the word crisis, the word crisis, simply means a turning point. It's just a place where you have to make a decision during a crisis. We must make a decision and in the middle of the struggle, the struggle begins to open up some of you, you have to just immediately. Go to the scripture saying, sanctifying grace must be at work in my soul right now. There's something God's going after in my soul. How often we would try to pray it away. I think would be surprised how many times were actually resisting the grace of God. We're pushing away the graced. This come to an act upon our salt and reveal the true enemy.

So next time you have that struggle, just pull that phrase out Hallelujah. Sanctifying Grace is at work in my soul, honey. I'm going to be a better guy by the end of the day. Something's going on here. I know I'm acting like a jerk right now but my soul. God will show you what the real enemy is.

Secondly, God does Trina's how to fight. Patiently. Save patiently, say it out loud and say it really elongated patiently. It's agonizing, isn't it? Just the word patience. Answer to get a stomach ache already. Like I had a patient Lee fighting and I want a quick shoot, you know, that done. No Grace. You see grace? A with a job description. Restraint, training us, that were trained said, you always the Greek word, it means the word that would be used of a father. Giving instructions, a father, bringing gentle, correction a father, bringing discipline where it's needed to teach and to instruct

I don't know if you remember when you were maybe younger, maybe primary school but perhaps you'd walk into your class over there. Be a stranger sitting at the teacher's desk that morning. And you course, look at your friends and get all excited because your substitute teacher, who who don't work no lessons. We can Cause trouble free day. No homework. Until the teacher pulls out the lesson plan that the regular teacher left.

But we're going to have a substitute teacher would have to work very hard, you know, I think about Grace the grace of God is not a substitute teacher in order until Jesus comes back. Grace is the real deal. Grace is your teacher. And it meets us what it will get saved M right where we are. To take us where God wants us to go in our character and our journey in our mission. Grace opens our eyes to see your grace opens. Our ears puts us in touch. Yes. Even with our weak areas. It's kind of hard. Some days are like that but at the same time to renounce, let's go back to the store. Now puts us in touch with our weak areas or at the places of attack, and then Grace will train us. It says to renounce ungodliness another word for announce means to reject by command. You have to talk? I don't know. God wants to talk in church. I appreciate you're all being very polite and not talking like talking, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about, we have to use the weapon that God gave us. We have one offensive weapon which is the sword of the spirit but it doesn't do anything unless you activate it. You got to use it. Our weapons are tools that change lives are our words. And so we have to renounce ungodly dismiss to disavow it and rejected. I reject that in Jesus name, get out. You can't just stun it. There was a American Science Fiction, TV series. I think it probably made it over here. I'm going to talk a long time ago, called Star Trek, anybody remember Star Trek, or Star Wars Star Trek, that was before Star Wars I dare ask if anybody remembers Flash Gordon. Now you're not all. Do you own, you're not that old. We love our space science fiction, but Star Trek people would remember when Captain Kirk would being down on a unknown planet with his Landing party. He would turn to everybody and say, okay everybody phasers on stun Was that mean there could be an enemy here. We don't know what we're facing and until we find out, if something comes at us, I want you just freeze it. Stun it till we figure out what to do with it. you know, you can't just stunts in You don't freeze sin, immobilize it temporarily. There was that there's also a time when Captain Kirk was a okay, everybody phasers on, chill, right. Kill this thing.

But when it comes to sin, you got to kill it. Or John Owen said the famous Puritan, Pastor from the 1600. John Owens said you better be killing sin, or it will be killing you. So Pacers are always set on kill not stun. Not trying to freeze it, let the instructor arise, the grace of God arising you to renounce on, got everything else, it ungodliness that desire, that's not me. We have a powerful weapon but man, the devil doesn't want you to use it. He doesn't want you to share the gospel. He doesn't want you to pray out. Loud, doesn't want you to prophesy. Could change someone's life. You see how the enemy wants to shut us all down. He doesn't want us Gathering Together. Stay home and just watch TV on the internet.

You see how the enemy just wants to isolate, shut the voice of the church down. Stop a pulsing. Hear the grace of God as a training sessions, but not just a text in, not just renounce, sending a tacit but to live How well live up, right? That's a good start to live. Godly self-controlled lives in the present age. You're going to do that really well in heaven deposit. The grace of God will train us how to lift up, right? And godly in this present age. because, He is our weapons expert.

And not only do you kill, send you see sin, always comes with an attitude.

You said it sometimes either either people we know, or if any of you have children you can see us. You can see a sinful attitude in your children before they ever see him. He was looking to go change your app, it just comes out. How does it come out? Usually, in their words may be seen on their face but boy,

I think that's awesome. Grace will reveal the attitude behind the Sin? Sin always comes with an attitude, which is a settled way of thinking or a settled opinion or feeling that we have. It's an x-out reflected in our Behavior at some point. So when someone is behind you and honking the horn and shaking their fists, the attitude that I'm selfish and you're not going fast enough for me and can't just see the light and just turned green and you're still sitting in your car for texting your friends.

He says training us to renounce young godliness, but teaching us, and training us how to live. So, controlled, I want to live more self-control. I want to live up, right? Right to sleep about Duty full in the present age. Now, here's the next thing though, while all this is going on. Put your unique situations.

Which I call. Is waiting room. Universe 13. All this is working out and Paul says waiting I know it's a nasty word, isn't it like, it's like patience. Training astronauts on godliness really passing to live self-control. Where's this? All taking place. So, in my waiting room and God has some very clever, very interesting waiting rooms. He puts us in waiting for our blessed hope, hope it's just your hope is isn't something favorable. Let me get to decide you about waiting first. And why we're waiting for the Blessed hope waiting? I'm like waiting, how many numbers are in an inch?

You never say, honey? What are you what am I to do this weekend? I don't know. Let's go book into the waiting room. I'm sure a lot of them are empty. On weekends, was just going to hang out in the waiting room. It's like, you have an appointment, you get there, it's crowded, people impatient, and you're sitting there and you're on time and doesn't irritate you when you're on time, and then someone blows in late for their appointment, which was before years, but they're late and they just blow in in the reception says, oh yes, I've been waiting. This is a waiting room. They have to wait to just come in so we don't like to wait. Waiting for our blessed. Hope the word. Wait is actually. It's actually it's not a do-nothing word, it's a verb and it means Liberty to to it means to look if I can just what I said, there's something about anticipation this Titan with waiting, it means to await with patients. To give ear to something favorable. So it's watching and attentively, getting your ear to something. Favorable another words to Grant access, it would God put you in a waiting situation You're God's waiting room.

The grace is there. It's in the waiting room. And is teaching you how to Grant access to God at that moment. God wants to say something to you. God wants to meet with you. In the waiting room, God will talk to you while you're waiting. So the idea of waiting for our blessed hope,

Listen hope. What are you hoping for anticipate with pleasure? I hope so who's playing this weekend so I was playing right. But yeah, I hope my team with you. We all have hope. I hope there's a good deal at the store, I hope. I hope. So, I'm still shows up to church. I hope I hope the weather is nice. I hope we're all hoping to anticipate with pleasure. That's why Paul reminds us waiting for our blessed hope, which is what the appearing of the glory of our great. God, Save The Glory of God can appear in a waiting room. If you're hoping Hit me up in the waiting room going. I hope this appointment. Get sober really fast, but I'm waiting. Grace meets Us in the waiting room where our life, our sins. You carry your sins around your sinful nature and Grace, they all play out, God's plan in the waiting. Some of you were in a waiting room right now. You think you're at church? You're actually in God's waiting room, you're waiting for something to happen. In the waiting room, Grace helps, you see? What God wants you to see. And then seize the opportunity. You seize the opportunity to be trained. God, what are you trying to tell me? What am I trying to learn here? Situations, where you become aware and I've I've got a, I've got a annual pass. To the waiting room. I am a charter member, I just walk in and they don't even check my ID anymore. You become aware of being of your own eye color. Self-absorbed unbelief. Where I'm actually logging God with my own problems of my own unbelief. I'm mad at God, whatever's going on because don't you know unbelief is the basis of all sin. All sin comes from unbelief, Romans 14:17. Whatever is not of faith is sin. So all sin comes from somewhere, you're not believing What God Says. And so I never went time. Periods, where I was waiting. With no apparent resolution to what I was praying for the prayer room can be a waiting room. You're praying for something I need to do this. I want to do this for a financial need. And God is answering my prayer for finances. With character development Simon development today. I need money. Money. Lb over here. We need dollars. Pound got any provision? I need this because you need to believe me. Will the very first prophetic words that my wife and I got almost 40 years ago 3. Phrases that still ring in my heart because God will always remind me of these key phrases that he's spoken to us, that have guided our personal lives and our ministry for 40 years, he said this don't trust in man, don't trust in Ministry.

Trust in the Lord, your God.

You think sure I could recite that prophesy to any church in town and then bring it back, he puts me in the waiting room. And I'm going to an issue where I need finances and I'm trusting in my next Ministry. Right trip? I'm trusting in a church. I'm pressing in man. Got this Give me a minute, Ferris W. Okay.

You're not trusting me trusting a man again and he keeps me in the waiting room and he comes in and he's just jelly starts peeling away. Another layer of unbelief is deep inside me, he knows God knows. Every you don't wear like this, like an onion, you know, you just peel a level layer of onion away and the tears. Start coming. I'm sorry, I'll be back. There's another layer. Peels off, layers to circumstances and situations. If I remember one time, This is years ago, but it was December was my last Ministry. Trip of the Year going in the northern part of United States was cold and snowy. And I flew into a town in the pasture. Pick me up from the airport. And I knew it was in for some kind of a weird weekend. There's going to be a challenge as he greeted me at the airport and I said, hey brother how you doing? He goes all you won't believe what happened this week. Update doesn't do that. They've always so chipper and so but some pastors Just have to get it out. So, we've been working on getting a furnace installed and actually you're working out of this afternoon. Hopefully, we'll have heat for the meeting tonight. And this will be my last provision weekend for the, for the rest of December. 4th, Christmas was coming. So we had the number $1,000 in mind. So we need to finish our budget Christmas and then start the new year. So good.

I kind of didn't but I'm still looking to the church, I'm still looking Show me, go through Franklin. Praise God. The heat was on Friday night. We had our meeting. I didn't Men's breakfast every morning, I help you with something up. Instead of Saturday night, meeting prophesied, over some people's Sunday morning. Preached I got done treating a sit-down, the pastor going to do. So thank you very much brother. One more thing before we dismiss today, something happened this week, we're going to take a special offering and of course all about me and they worked on it all week. They got it installed and we just thank God for that. Now, the problem is we we have to pay for it. So we need $900 for the furnace and so, we're going to take a special

You're taking an offering for a furnace. I got Christmas coming in for kids and I'm just sitting there smiling and that offering bucket went right past me. I didn't even I didn't even look. The grace of God had me in the waiting room.

So they get done this mess. We grab a quick sandwich. And then off to the airport, I go on the way to the airport to his phone rings. One of the deacons. Yes, yeah. Oh praise God brother. That's good news. Amen. Thank you.

All the money for the furnace came in.

Great brother.

The airport, just a minute.

Present their spread and I'm already being so holy, thank you, brother. God bless you. Your awesome was a great weekend. God is good. Merry Christmas. Get in the airport. I opened the envelope and pull out a check, and I already paid my airfare. It was $289.

I like the check was $400. I did the quick math. -289 is 111, right? That was my net. I said. You're missing some zeros here. I'm coming home with $111 and yes, I tied. So I'm coming home with $100 101. 111 sense, not a penny more. More Tides. You're going to break the very bottom, right? And live it. And I like the black guy. I'm just going to whine to somebody. My wife in the airport, same thing, the pastor pulled on me. You wouldn't believe what happened Sunday afternoon. she said, I forgot to tell you Friday. Two days ago Friday. Now we got an unexpected, check in the mail for $1,000.

More. Praise the Lord, honey. I knew God would come through. I just spilled my guts.

I forgot to tell you got $7,000 to us. It was at my house before I ever got to that church, Is he God answered our prayer and then he put me in the waiting room all weekend. I got so tired about hearing about the furnace and the whole time I'm in their godson died fairest. Died of your unbelief. Are you going to trust in man? Are you interested Ministry? Are you going to trust me when I got the airport? He just pulled a big layer of unbelief off of me. I repented, I cried. Not out loud. That's when you see me. But I've got Undead me. Remember? I just kind of So, sorry, I prevent greasy. Grace of God. Met me. Put me in that waiting room cuz he wanted to get something out of me. See, I was starting to lean back into, I'm trusting in churches, I'm trusting in my Ministry and so saying, I'm trusting God.

I know none of you could relate to that, but I thought he said that story and quickly back to the cross with sanctifying Grace, sanctifying Grace will always bring you back to the cross. The train has to remember. So, let's go back now. We're done, waiting waiting waiting.

Of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ looking for verse 14, who gave himself for us to redeem us. Think that phrase say the grace of God pumps that trains us and meet us in the waiting room. And what's the goal? Take us back to the great appearing of our God and savior who gave himself for us the cross. Don't forget. a program about, A savior who died and gave himself for us to redeem has, that's what it's all about. Grace trains us to remember Jesus. Your transistor. Remember why you went to the Cross? That's what, that's what these appearances are. That busy piffany.

Then we're waiting, we're waiting for the appearing same word of the glory who gave himself for us. Repairing of the Cross, somewhere the cross, it should pop up in front of your screen.

For us to redeem us. 3, Mike radimas means to loosen. The price. Is Houston in the markets to Amy's to buy something out of the market place. We were bought out of the marketplace of slavery. We were bought with a price, we have to remember that because in our battles and in our struggles you say we can all Drift from the cross. All kinds of things out. There are trying to get us away from the cross.

We dressed, we're drifting disciples, just spaced it and Grace gives us the teacher. To draw us back to Christ when we start drifting race. Private teaching us to get us back to the Cross, not just the results in the areas of sin, but to bring a light, bring an epiphany, bring a light not, and not just to see the sense to see God. You're really good at helping people. See their sin, aren't we? I mean, even, even even a thing, you got to watch it. Sometimes we just saw an alert to be police and cops and you know, trying to correct all the time we also have to help people see God, our savior Full of Truth and Grace. He sits on a throne called the throne of grace. Not a chair.

A god appearance. Remind us where our sin was dealt with. Why do we have to go? Why we should be? Why should the grace of God, take us back to the Cross? To remind us of what happened on the cross? That's where your sin was dealt with. When you become sin conscious, the grace of God. It's not just me and my send my send my send. Yes. I remember you saying about this? Morning's lovely. In the fifth thing. This is so good because God calls us to help other people. In their battles with sanctifying Grace, see grace is never just for you. Grace was given to you so you could give it to others.

That's how you grow. You grow as a leader in the church in the kingdom. It in your family at the work, you grow. Why? As you give away the kingdom of God is a giveaway system? Paul finishes writing this little bit with the chapter 22 Titus, he says a 15 declare these things, what they declare, declare, how you've waited for the glory in the appear, declare? What is at work in my soul? This is what God did for me to redeem me. For himself declare these things. Exhort rebuke with all the 40. That doesn't mean you. Criticize people or judge them, it means what turn them in the right direction.

God says about you. You're the Holy Spirit. Correct you at inside? I didn't quit Corrections from the Holy Spirit and he's so gentle. But just like, so I get review to me, that's not necessarily a negative, connotation to me that way. What day is going down? My office is in my basement. I'm just going down the stairs. I just done something. I'd forgotten something something inside, I said to myself, you're such an idiot. I just did. I know you would never your own way to play over here in the UK. But I was just like such an idiot and immediately

It wasn't. Anybody else around it? Came so quick. I got rebuked by the spirit of Grace, sanctifying Grace Rose up and said, I don't say that about you. I just sent it says you're such an idiot. He redeemed us. Remember the cross. You import Grace? And then you export into someone else's world. Why do we have to do this? Why this little exercise this morning? Well, we forget How about you? I forget, I literally forget, sometimes about the grace of God for your leadership team.

Adventure preached that sermon, puppy years ago. Dave. Yeah. And you need it again. We need to be reminded him out. How long do we need to be reminded about the cross? And slow to change yesterday? And she had four compartments in their stomach because it takes a long time for them to process food goes into one. Stomach comes back up that you would again go back down goes in the second stomach there's different things transforming what they're eating and that whole process sheep are slow to change. Sheep are highly skeptical. This is a study and agricultural College on the nature of sheep. And there's many more characteristics that some of these always fascinate me because it's so true. Having been administered, your sheep are by Nature Highly skeptical. They're very passive. And they resist change among other things.

We want to. We want to have a war but we don't want to wait.

but so often, it's The waiting is actually your War waiting on. I'll bet everybody in this room, could say I'm waiting on God for fill in the blank. You're waiting on God for something and the Very waiting is your War. We're God is going to meet you. Sanctifying Grace to do something that you can't do that. He wants to remove out of you think to buy this. I went there to purify would be redeemed us from Wallace, was an to purify for himself a people for his own possession. He's purifying us. In this lifetime. Now we're going to be really clean and heaven but right now he's purifying Catherines, or we get the word catheter, he's got a spiritual catheter. He's purifying

self. It's not selfish that beautiful. Gun. So let me leave you with one thing to remember,

What's the one thing I should remember Klim? Well, I find if you remember one truth at the moment of a trial. You can enter God's change process.. God starts working, if you remember, one truth, and what's the one truth that I should remember? It's not double talk. You need to remember to remember.

But the thinking for me, I have to put that in your second and third stomach before that actually, it's like remembering is the first change. I got to remember something. What's going on? I don't know. I need to remember something. What am I forgetting? We see we When sin and agitation and struggles, come often are so thin conscious or aware, what are our struggle is?

If I can just encourage you when these things happen to remember the grace of God. Remember one thing, what is it in the fire and celebrate the power of God that brings to you and Grace. So I'm going to close with an illustration. If you're probably familiar with is a story of John chapter 8 where there's a woman caught in adultery. And the Pharisees were religious, people bring her to Jesus, you know, and they're going to kill her going to start it because the law said, she must be stoned to death. And you know the story Jesus. Rights in the sand and then he says, he that is among you never sin cast the first stone, right? And of course they all just dropped their stones and walk away and Jesus says to the woman where are your accusers?

She said, they're all gone. Neither do I condemn you.

Now, go and sin, no more in four years in my mind, I saw Jesus for like, forgiving her, like, I don't condemn you as Grace. You can say is it's okay, you did it. He just said I don't condemn you. Your sinful Accu goes, I do not condemn you. And for years I thought that was trying to put her to death. It's almost like she said, okay, but yeah, what if What if? You reverse that. You see action when Jesus said neither, do I condemn? You why did he say that? He's supposed to the loss that she's supposed to die here up a lot. He was the law but he fulfilled the law. Jesus came to fulfill but we could not do. We could never fulfill God's holy law. What Jesus said, the woman, I don't condemn you because I'm going to take that adultery to the Cross very soon and it will be dealt with. And you will not be condemned for this app because I'm going to save you from that. I'm going to redeem you from that act. And I will take your sin and you'll remember it no more. I am the Fulfillment of the law. Now go and sin, no more. See that's the grace. Go ahead and go based on what I'm going to do with the cross. You're not going to be. Crazy. Good news. The saint for Jesus said go and sin. No more annoying. She still got flash. But see, I said yes in the summer if God sees the end from the beginning, I see you at the end. I see you. In the glory of my appearing. I see you is my child forever. I just go go and sin, no more. Because the grace of God has just appeared to you. Bring me salvation training you. Delivering you. From unrighteousness, is that good news? That is the gospel everybody and that's the best news for egham and London in the world. And we, we are the ones that have to get that word out. Summer, pray for you. Father, we thank you. I'm going to give kind of a word to RCF but you're going to direct it to the leaders that are here Juliet's not here but

Not sure how it's going to come out. I just want to play. Let's just say God, we need this. But God wants you to give it away. Father, we come, thank you for your reminder. Thank you for drawing us back to the Cross this morning. Thank you for the grace of God has appeared and been shining on us today. To remind us what you have done for us. But God, we can't keep it in this room. That's almost illegal. It's wrong. It's a kingdom violation to say. It's all about us. We got good news.

We got the good news. Let's Harold it.

That's what that's what Paul said to tell me, says, declare these things declare the grace of God to other people who are dying. Who need it? Is it let no one District guard. You or depreciate would be another receiver RC F You're a big church cuz you have a big God. We don't we're not we're not out to try to build big churches and see what we want to build big people, big people in the Kingdom big sheep. Big healthy sheep. Are full of the grace of God. You can waddle out of here. Big fluffy coats of wall and full of God's grace and people don't know. There is a healthy sheet right there. Where do you get fat? Who's your Shepherd? so,

What? I was sensing at started bubbling yesterday. Got a little bit more today, Dave, and Simon and Yasmin, and Julia. Am I forgetting Juliet? Nikki and Nikki, she still here.

I feel like God says, prepare for. A few Divine disruptions. Define music by numbers. The hand of God is going to just rub some things prepared for some Divine detours. Prepare for divine distractions because God is bringing new attractions. So what seems like a distraction? I think it's like a distraction from what we had planned or we have vision for because I'm going to give you a new, a new attract ability like that. I just made up of this new attraction to RC F.

I think it's some changes coming that you was a team were going to just pray it through, incense it. And I almost want to say this way, there's so much change in the air spontaneous Revival, but I think these disruptions are Divine. How many of that was a Divine disruption on that college campus when they just started praying for 24 hours a day? Everyday, for days, like you guys get your homework done. I'm spraying the Divine disruption. And I just feel like that's in the air and I would just say, hold everything you have been doing here lightly. I mean everything and I'm not prophesying and I'm not predicting any particular thing, but it when I hear the word say, hold, everything like that. That means everything. That means. Everything. This building your service times the name of your church who you're going after, I really feel like there's a Divine destruction on us going to disrupt. I could see your fishing. It's almost like your Jesus came and disrupted professional fisherman. So do you need to put your nuts over there. I say let your next town over here. I really feel like there's some new fishing that would not be there something that God wants to attract people. I guess the question is, what bait are you using? How are you at tracking people? Sinners.

And I don't, I don't have answers, I'm just hearing things from God, is going to stimulate your prayers. That's what the prophetic word, does it? It like we talked yesterday? It takes you right back to God. What did you mean by that? You work three times to take some notes, get into prayer, get on your knees. Sick. What you mean by that? What would that mean to you? What could it mean on a regular Sunday or during the week? It was something on the website? I don't know. What is creative? I can do anything.

Ultimately, he's good and he's full of grace.

Julie.

Good, disruptions coming your way. And you know what? I hear lots of Delegation you're at you're a trainer we talked about how the grace of God comes to train has, you're going to go into a season of training and giving away so much of what you're really good at you you you are the epitome of the ministry of helps. But you know what? God wants you to spread that out and literally Give It Away, the kingdom is crazy, it's a giveaway system. You get money, you give it away, God gives more sewing and reaping giveaway.

Does not taking your ministry away. Just give away what you've learned. He's going to multiply it. I really think there's growth coming but God says he's going to change up some of your systems. Because right now, the currents that you have a system for everything. This is how we set in RC F every Sunday but God might disrupt your systems. If you don't change your systems, the systems you have will always deliver what you're getting right now. This makes sense, you're you're going to be a trainer, you're going to be moving more from up doing role to a training and teaching role. Great at what you do. But you know what? You got a multiple of yourself, every one of you have to multiply even pray for Dave, Dave juggles, a lot of balls, but there's some balls, glass ball, only. Dave can juggle. If Dave drops that ball is going to crash on the floor, the other balls are rubber You can drop it and it bounced up some meals can get it, but there's certain ones that only Dave is the Visionary and that would be one of them. The vision of RC F is in his hands. But there's other things you shouldn't be doing, I'm not correcting. I'm just saying there's other things 2 release, David his gifting And you know what? There might be people there not in this room yet that God wants to bring. So if you have that mindset, like we're going to pray in permanent Tech person. They're probably going to be under 20 years old, thankfully, cuz they know they know everything that's so I'm just saying if you don't have to repaint the inside of the, if that's all your business. But if you say, God, we have a mission, we want to reach more young people. We want to do this, we want to even take our Tech to another level. We want to develop it, at whatever it is. And got to see if you had the face part. I'll send them. Are you with me? Not stirring something. So I expect changes to come for you, and I'm going to pray that for you. and I think, you know, basically, if you
