Exponential: The Constant of Grace - God's Excellence at Work in Us

Hallelujah. You know, we've been working our way through this series. You started with a spirit of Excellence. Amen. And that was a very powerful word. I said a word that was like, five sermons that we really delved into Understanding when Excellence is and that excellence and bodies got right? Amen. And that because anybody tell me if I need to come on Cory said I am. Come on. What do you supposed to say? I am

Amazing. That's right. We have to remind Court. He's amazing because somewhere he lost his the idea of what his self-worth was about it. So we have to help him. Remember, it's not about what he thinks, hallelujah, it's not about him. It's about the children that are coming through. There is about the people that he deals with every day. The people who he have sex everyday, that his life mean, something Beyond him. Amen. And it's not just record. I just have to remind Corey that because, you know that I'm on this thing with him that he has two. He's got to go do something in the air tram. Amen. Buddy's Plant City, right now I am amazing so that he can bring that force and then we don't play this evening. Guess what? It won't grow. Amen. Hallelujah. God expects us to have some explanation. Gross, he does. And if he is excellent, And we're growing into our excellent because he has guess. What else is growing in US? Excellence is growing in us. That's right. But not only are we growing into our Excellence. If you can make it, I have this Vision in my mind and it happened to me. But when I see you, I see the world. I don't know if anybody else and visualizing what I'm saying, so I imagine he's putting on this. Mike in 04. Goodbye, clothing where I'm stretching out into it and it's a little bigger than what I am. So right now, it may be hanging out with me because of the fact that something but I imagine myself not to do to get a fatter but growing up into it and feeling this sick, that's the way God showed me. Excellent. You showed me that I'm growing into it and that every part of me is going to fill it out at some point. And totally piss on me. Like it was made for me. Anybody ever heard something to the store? Talk about. They wouldn't have to tell you to make them clothes for them and they made it to live in such a way that it felt like it Fit like a glove and that's what we want Excellence to be about another life. We want it to be able to fit us like a glove. When we talked about that already has five sermons about that. But now we're going to talk about what happens to the growth. Once we are in our excellent fully, it needs to be doing something right. Just need to be walking around.

Is there supposed to be something exponential? That happens with it so that other people are affected, right? So we going to talk about, that was said that the seed of Excellence last year was the last week is God's image in US. What was the week before last in Arizona?

Zenith Excellence is God. Imaging us what happened to this evening? As soon as to what has to die? When you take a seat, the seed has to die before it can open up and what shoots cuz rap

So we got to die. Do I flash drive on ideas to our own thoughts? To our own desires? We have been online up with God, then we got to get it and what can come from that after we die? Then what comes was out of us? Is what God's intentions for us. Hey man, we got our own thoughts and our own Pleasures, our own ideas are on wasn't, and what happens is God's desires for us? Is what we get to Blossom, amen? And we went to that scripture that angel, scripture that we used Genesis 1:27, what we talked about God, created, man in his own image, okay? That was brought in for this goddamn, it's not our image, it's his image and then we went on to really look at the fact that there's a call for extra nervous. Excellent. Answer the phone when I call go.

With that. And we've looked at that facility is 212. We have to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling that is are answering the call.

That's our answer, the call. We got to do something guys, is not do it all. He did. Everything is already going to do, he did all his partner. Now, we have to do our part. We have to work out workout

Some people say that lives that but that Lily is up as a work. It's something that you have to actively do everyday. We talked about this yesterday. Moment-by-moment

Years. Don't become years without moments. Amen. And what we we look at this. This stop that we are divinely. Mandated this is a call to work.

In the Old Testament, is that the guy who's not allowed to come? Until there was a man named to work till the ground because they will be nobody to do what kind of work.

Deadly. Brew word means printer. The same word work, but it's printer. In most of what we're thinking about. We think about activity task. It's like okay, I need to go to the clean so you can buy out of town and go into cleaning the building. Don't think about the fact that means that clean the building is also a friend. Baby. This place at Prairie.

Yeah.

It's a whole different when you start looking at the difference between, but as serious as work with God's, intentions are for. Remember, when I said the deceased died, so the guy can come for his image to come forth and 10, his plan, his phone, his son and his daughter to work is to pray. I remember my husband saying that God told him and told him that his position was Prairie. He was trying to find something to do. What can I do? What can I do? we are task-oriented from the time before we grow up and seems like the first time we get our chores Even little kids when they're coming.

I see my little grandbaby Harmony. Her name is harmony as well, like 5 minutes and

go get the broom into a little, you know, she's carrying a broom

There's not many of us already got it. I want to help you. Did he say? Would you do what I contacted? And the first thing is prayer, mat attack. It's a lifestyle.

That's a powerfully. You can get that one then and I may have to talk about. I'm not even talking about today.

Clear up so much stuff, did your life?

Liberty with continuous, interior prayer.

When I get the prayer to talk about this, before I go by my apartment to buy Muhammad who's Muslim, it was a lifestyle. God is good and we would pray on things. You wouldn't come with like this predetermined list of God. Is this ghetto magician.

You don't approach it in the same way that he intended. We come and we just sit in his presence. Let him breathe on us. An atom has come forth, then out of that person for me friend. Oh, I have some prayers that are written and I pray those. I'm not saying it is Ross, the praise and the prayers of the present prayers that even are in Scripture. But I'm saying that you speak it. And by spend it and just waiting for him sometime. No, put something on your heart that wasn't written down on your little tablet.

Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Quit. Because I did, we're human and we're task-oriented. Most of my life is governed. By the time we have a birth date and an estimate. And so everything is is somewhere in the middle of that, we're thinking about all of these, I got to be at this point. This time is a lot of what happens to us if we become Bound by that

God is not bound by time, he created. But even created for the things that we think.

We created about what this should mean, and what does that mean? What does the meat?

Say that because I am that I am. That I am.

So a lot of what happens if we could so I have it done next time. If all my God I'm going to run out of time. Something Kesha said this morning some things take time And it takes a timelessness about us to be in that, that but we don't get so bound up by things that we missed the point.

The one you live in this continuous interior. Prayer is continuous part where you're hearing all the time. You're listening all the time for him. Telling you something so that you can pick that up.

Amen, Let me thank him for that.

We, we mentioned that we have to trust God's timing. Because we're so happy.

We think the guy needs to be on a tight time schedule.

And when something changes, we think the stuff is wrong. Give you a chance, how you said yesterday?

I had three clients, two of them Big Show for their appointment and one was supremely. And I believe she was like 30 minutes. She came on just to tell me that she would be able to make her meeting.

And get my humanness I begin to think. Oh my God. Something's wrong with the message, or they can get this. Reminder for their meeting or was something that I did or didn't do you work. Just trying to think this thing all the way through and got a rest.

After 2 hours when they claim that Mr, meeting 70, my God, she's in a while. I mean half the time between Hawaii and California.

Sometimes it's not the to do something. Something that happened that you're ripping, something that you sold. I mean, we please put that it is in a lot of places where it's not even intended. Happening. You cannot read. I'm reaping. What I sowed I sold this 10 years ago so that's why I made this now.

Something that we have a card.

I would even say that are happening in our life.

Has to do with directions and process.

you have to learn and I share this, if you got to persevere in the face, of things what you think are challenges because sometimes those things are not even really challenges, we think their challenges, but they really turned out not to be

They're not challenges their exercise. What happens when you exercise? You get? What are stronger? Amen. Some things are literally exercises so you can move to another level. So that's why when we start talking this morning about exponential This is about growth.

When I'm talking about something being an extra men. We talked about ways we can put a little number that you saw the three. You put another little number up there. On the right hand side of it, at the top of it is. Okay, that makes only the exponent is meant to cause at 3 to be multiplied, not 3, * 3, but three three times. So when you think of that way, in the case of 33 time, we would be nice. But in this case when I multiply 3, * 3 is an exponentially. Then what's that 3 * 3 is what? Yes, because you're going three times to me and then nice house.

So understanding that this extra Mitchell kind of growth has a way of doing something in your life that goes beyond what you can imagine. You're trying to figure it out and got trying to bring you by Lisa. Now you just trying to make one level of growth and he's trying to take me from here to there.

And that's not easy because we can't always see where we're going. I know but three times three years cuz I've been there before but I don't know what 27 looks like that's it there before and I don't know if I'm ready for that yet. That's why we have to get out of our human, this sometimes and operated for a guy called Grace. I am one that has been around long enough to understand that there have been movements in the charger. We call this the hyper-grace movement. We've seen happen. The way they use the word, Grace's, they say, well, that matter what you do. I always give you and that's the way that humans use the word grace. Guys, unmerited favor. Yes, it is guys that merited favor, but it's more than that. We're going to talk about that this morning. It's not just about you doing something and you saying it remaining in something and say will I get continue doing this? Cuz God is going to forgive you? That's not what this is. This is about a power that you didn't even realize you had. Is God's excellent at work in you. That's what Grace is. What should open your Bibles? Tasty Asian?

The second chapter.

And it's also a, if you guys don't have a Bible study, want to look at it.

The word says, for by Grace, you have been saved through space. And this is not of your own doing. It is the gift of God, a result of works so that no one may boast.

I want you to understand that Grace is the power that you have to grow.

It is.

God had to put some of his self. you know, so that we can grow

when activated like the mountain or the The Rock, where made it even though the things are hidden by the way, but I can guarantee you that they do

everything that God made in this earth, habitat has vibrational frequency around it and you can take a ride to your human eye, you can't see it but it is every single

Everything that God created has recreational for tenant has frequency in it, in it, however, God placed some of human us differently in the rock.

Is difference. And because of that, the power that he gave us his that unmarried play we deserve, but we go. Anyway, Just because we did something. I wrote that the stocks It says, it got does not punish us by not allowing us to food to grow.

I want you to have a beer with Dad about this. That.

With the exception of the people that God, has opened up the Earth and they'd been in there because he opened up the girls and they were gone and the people that actually you were gone because of the fact that they were just disobeyed God. And so God to the buyer to sign the Camorra and wipe them all out.

Yes, she was a pillar of salt.

Okay, or b12 with Jason and they're not doing what they were supposed to go on a boat, we just got rid of them by Blood.

Everyone else. God gave an opportunity and even if they were making the wrong choices, if you did not stop your growth,

you better think about that. Always in his heart and his mind potential.

and they may not have been able to make decision.

He never takes away.

There's a really big, lots of people are really smart. And they do not ascribe to serving God, loving God, or for, that matter, believe, in a god, even this. But God did not stop their mind from growing, but they still create, the Bible tells us that they're God's gift.

And one of the gifts that he gave us with the ability to grow.

And he did that by grace.

The scripture that we just read it to eight and nine and it freezes and says we're by Grace. You have been said,

So another words get happened.

Just because it happened already, doesn't necessarily mean that you are taking advantage of yourself.

You should have got up on the cross already. He's already asleep. He was a fish to work. I believe, I can still come.

Any mention that this is already happened. It's not like you were waiting for God's sake. No, he's waiting for you to realize you've been saying.

That's why there's a whole process of you acknowledging that Jesus Christ. Did you confess it with your mouth? Confessing in Belize.

Nothing.

Nothing is going to. So let's be clear and Grace is the power for you to grow. He's giving everybody that

Succumbing to a lineman with it, and it keeps growing until we do.

I know that's at, that's totally a rude awakening.

The constant of God's grace is that his work is already at work in US. Continue a human. I want to go to 2nd Corinthians 12:9.

When you realize that your journey, you know, in this whole thing to come in the excellent, being the guy wants you to be is not a result of your own works or achieving. That is something a guy did not something that you do. Okay? It's a gift in it. It's it's it's a product of his grace.

You got to come to a point where you are. Really. Thinking about this from this respected, read it with me. But he said, to me, my grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses so that the power of Christ May rest upon me.

He was really trying to help people understand that we are human in our human weaknesses.

Especially the ones who are really, really, that's what were the strongest because of him.

I've heard so many things that I really am excited about that. My husband said, in some of these riches go to one of the main things that I heard, it's where he talks about Ghana.

Many times your friend forgot to give us strength.

And scripture tells us. David McCleary singing. The song. Forgot your biggest strength.

Who's Frank is better, my strength or his strength? So when Paula say this, my grace is, when he says, what he said to me, my grace is sufficient for you. He was talking about a situation that he was dealing with physically in his body, that could not be changed.

There was nothing that you can do. Matthew Healy wasn't available interested not come.

In the fashion. And when she started wood, And what God said to him was my grace is sufficient. What is the word sufficient mean? Enough. My grace is enough for you. For my power is made perfect complete.

My power is completely your Wiki and I'm worth it. Covers you. It takes up the slack, it makes all the difference.

Oh, I like that. It works best in with you cuz then that you're not trying to put some of you in there.

I know right now, my house is on crutches, and I remember I've had an incident that happened where I was on crutches, And I hate those.

I did, I really did not like it because until we had a really large house at that time and I was trying to navigate going up and down stairs and it was hard. Making me. Texas wait for Thursday to be done because I couldn't carry anything. I had to have somebody else help me, which I'm not really good at letting people help. I mean, I'm a gummy bear, but I just being honest.

I believe that he only came faster because of the fact that I didn't like, the person I'm serious. I mean, I prayed down fire from heaven, for my ankle to be healed, so I would not ever

There have been no such thing as God called me and Maddie, perfect, it's always a perfect cuz I didn't want to use the crutches. And it was so much against it had to come to attend me, so I can use my leg.

You hear what I'm saying? Sometimes, we talked about challenges being exercises, sometimes the things that we think are challenges are the exercises. God needs to happen in our lives so that we can let him have his way. Get out of the way. Allowed him to be the power necessary to make things perfect. To make them complete, Hallelujah. Anybody know what I'm talkin about? Hallelujah cranks, it empowers us.

To grow.

2 *. even and especially

play week.

When we struggle,

Kevin Mitchell, something yesterday when he was speaking. Share your story with us.

How do you spell struggled?

But when he got to a place where A demand was being placed upon the guy that's in him. He released his struggles to who.

Because we're task-oriented a lot of times we try to take the struggle on ourselves.

Anybody in here, got to pick it up and say I can do it now. I got I got this.

No, it's okay. Let me know you can handle it, but I got it.

Okay, I'll be here waiting when you get finished with that. Exactly.

He created Grace.

Hallelujah.

Grace is our foundation for multiplication.

Go to John 1:16.

You can find some YouTube.

For from his, we have always Grace upon Grace.

And that's Jesus speaking.

He is explaining to us. Something that is such an enigma for many people.

In other words, God never runs out of Grace and he didn't want us to either.

He is so full. And he's given us so much of himself that the grace that we have been given. It multiplies.

It's not only a source of power, but it's the foundation. For how multiplication works. Think about this. He was being $5.

They had only a small amount of resources.

And just the fact that there's only one thing to Jesus, did he lifted the things up and he blessed them. The blessings that he does remember. I told you God doesn't want us to work. He wants us to pray. What is the work of the free to do as well? Jesus, demonstrated, he took the fish in the five for the fish, five loaves of bread. What do you do if you start trying to cut them up and say, okay let me see how I can make this work.

We can make it into something else so that we can go further. What are you doing? Slapfish.

In Hebrew, he is a nice body.

That is true.

When he did that, what happens if x?

Meaning of the things that we're dealing with in our life and we would just borrow.

When is listen to wear boys, that it be blessed.

He's not then what is this thing? So that it doesn't know. He said, Thank you for. What happens in metaphase? It's a rapist efficient. And in doing that.

What is it in your life?

It would cause it to multiply

turn on ceiling finances. Resources. Homes do seeds. Come from Wednesday.

Who got a blessing?

from his oldest, we have all received, There is nothing that we have required of him that he does not already have available is just like salvation was already available cuz everything else is already available cuz he created it.

Grace is the one thing in our journey, that doesn't change.

Is always available.

Hebrews. Hebrews 2. James Hitman Play my favorite favorite books.

The 4th chapter, the 16th verse. Then let us bid with confidence, draw near. To the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find Grace to help in time of need. There's so much and I can't even break this down there since I don't have enough time. I don't have enough time, but let me just tell you

it's always available.

But there's only one way we can get it.

We have to do it drawn here.

John Deere. Going to the throne of grace. May be crazy available.

Definition of prayer Drawing Near to from a recipe in a position of continual prayer. Gives you the ability to have mercy, when you need it and divine grace, when you need it, Unlimited Supply.

Hallelujah.

This last point.

Grace is abundant.

It is abundant in our scarcity.

2nd Corinthians 9:8 says and read it with me and God is able to make all about. So that has a deficiency in the ties. You may abound in every good work.

That's a power right there. Albanese.

Nothing left out.

But there's a powerful stuff here. He's going to make all grace abound. In other words, every amount of Grace that we need is already available and God is making it up and down to us. he's able to get it, we have to drive there but when we drive there was available all Grace,

So that we'd have what all fishes and all that and how long at all times.

If we could work. Nevermind. Yes, that's right. We lack resources on face any limitations or think the things are scared. So she said it's not happening for us. We have got to remember this.

The God's grace is sufficient.

And I busted.

He equips us with it. It's equipment.

It's not a get-out-of-jail-free card. It's a queen bed. Hallelujah. And it causes our impact to be in exponential because if we are able to able to live in Grayson this way then we can extend.

cuz remember we never said the benefit advisors, we can extend Grace What is a stand?

Why you saying I want you to just to think about Peter? He was an apostle.

We talked a lot about Paul.

Let's not talk about Peter because people think about the fact that Peter would deny Christ, and, you know, And so some way people think of him as less than not realize is that a lot of the time Peter was right there.

He was right there. When the jail house a lot, it was Peter. who was let out and when Rolling back to the store. Native believe it was him. But how can you be out? It's a spirit is a ghost.

He went from being an ordinary fisherman. And what you think about this? I mean, if there was an ordinary of Kenneth fisherman, where Ordinary People, a lot of fish at that time of the year, where he lives and he was one of the people, he was nothing special.

To be a foundational leader. One in which Jesus himself said, Upon This Rock, I will build my church and the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail against it. The Palladium Theater. Was so powerful that people were healed by the saddle.

For being an ordinary fisherman to not even having to disturb. This is what life's about to get in the shower.

That's a power. His influence multiplies, so much.

That's what we're looking at. I'm in there are places Israel and other places that has all kinds of temples and synagogues and churches with Saint Peter's name on it. There's a reason. because his influence was,

For the truck.

His influence was so expensive that the enemy weapon system is weak.

Jesus told him he wants to sift, you as wheat. He wants to know if he wants to divide your influence up and discuss little Amendment. The new system we what happened. You checking things out? He wants to make you understand.

So instead of him even though he's a nice right, even though he did all the things he did in Iraq, to try to keep something from happening that will guide you text it to happen so that we would all be able to experience salvation. Cuz he didn't understand and even in bed.

To go through every one of those experienced and continue to grow. So this ultimately his influence can be what it was so that he can walk through the streets in his shadow kill people.

hear me when I tell you some of you

Don't realize that your shortcoming. Often the things that God uses.

As we exercise. Food, you can get stronger. I want to pray for you this morning.

Because I really believe that.

When you understand that, you depends on the grace of God. Power.

And not. Leeway.

Then you will do exactly what it is, that the scriptures teach, which is the drive here.

Father's Day.

Thank you for this word and we thank you, Father, for what it means for us to be able to operate in your grace.

I thank you for giving us the opportunity.

To live. Furniture way. So that when we receive freely, we can give freely we can extend great because we receive but we can maximize its impact. Are you allowing you to be complete?

We thank you for it. Name.

How are you? Now. I want to look at your neighbor.

Exponential. There? Is that what you said? I'm exponential. Hallelujah. God is in me.
