Generational Influence
Desperation, but I'm saying hunger. I mean there's a scripture that says blessed are those who hunger and after righteousness for they will be satisfy
Robbins is the absence of the Fulfillment of Garner life is because we're just not hungry.
Yeah, what does this have to do with generational influence? I'm pretty sure holy spirit is going to tie it together.
Good home remedies that God I want you to desire you. There's something about you and aspect about you. I want to know but I don't know if you guys realize this when I pick up the Bible sometimes I'm focus on a particular aspect. Sometimes I'm looking at the lineage of Jesus and in trying to dive into his nature other times. I'm trying to figure out what was going on in the early church. And then I'm reading the letters of Paul and his understanding of who we are in Christ. I mean one is one of the most powerful statements to me that he met with and if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation.
Old things are passed. The new has come. Isn't it crazy that just one statement we can like live there? We can unpack that one statement for the rest of our lives.
Men that sure beats trying to figure out church doctrine.
I'm about to do some packing that one statement anyone in crisis new. What do you mean? Where do what do you mean? I'm new. What do you mean? What do you mean attitudes Hang-Ups and behaviors? Pass. I'm no longer a sinner. I'm a son. I'm no longer a slave, but I'm free. I'm no longer bound boundless. Imagine that being your life man, seriously for one second. Let's just think about this statement if anyone is in Christ are a new creation. He didn't say you took a bath and got clean. He said your brand-new inside and out. The question is how do you live in this newness of life that's provided in Christ. And how in the world is that going to be generational influence that person Legacy?
We're not talk about put your hands out.
I receive only what you have. for me today every other thing let it pass I receive now. awesome Simple because I'm talking to you I want with God is saying to stick because for me I don't want to stick I want what God has for you guys. Plus being new means that there's a new way of thinking a new way of being and you are functioning. But as long as we're trying to incorporate,
A 12-step Jesus program. It's not going to work.
Let me see. It's only worth trying to incorporate a 12-step Jesus program. It's not going to work. Jesus didn't ask for your program. He asked for your life.
Come on, man. We we do this prayer don't we he said if we do this Paragon Lord you not receive you. I give you my life. I ask you for yours, right and the life of God comes inside of us and we become Born Again born in God again. Someone told me type. Are we all God's children? I have a better way of saying that I said you let me tell you you have you have the young generated and the generated the regenerated people. You're either Unruh generated or your regenerated simple as odd or an unredeemed creation. Which one are you?
I'm like, yeah, I didn't tell you this. I didn't make this thing up. God did I'm just telling you what he says and most likely when you tell people what God is saying don't want to shoot the messenger. because the message Liz
Who does my Hunger have to do with generational Legacy? What does that have to do with generational influence? You understand that if the apostles weren't hungry to see the kingdom of God come to Earth because they walk with Jesus. We would have any of this. We are literally fruits hanging on their tree.
My question to ask is what fruit do you have on your tree?
apples
least you said something Buddy? What kind of apples? red delicious delicious
It comes down to what fruit is what fruit hanging on our tree man. I'm not talking about spiritual food of love joy peace long-suffering gentleness. I'm telling you. What lasting through to Legacy? Even Paul wrote and sent to the church. You guys were fruit my fruit bearing witness to me of my apostleship.
What fruits hanging on your tree? What Legacy do you plan to leave? And are you hungry for God because it's only those who are hungry for God that leave a lasting Legacy.
I don't believe you.
Well, let's go get some scripture. I meant I was going to reach out but that's not what God wants me to go. Will reach out last week to go into this week.
Scripture I'm going to tell you what generational influences. Generational influencer with people are collecting the influence by a time. In which they were born these in for his tent the bottom people across the whole generation forming a large social group. That's what generational influence means. How does this look like insert do you guys or are you guys anyone familiar with this guy?
That I use them because he's black in his black history month. So yay.
You think of the pale black guy that I never heard that before? Why do you lie? Guess he doesn't black and white?
Do you guys do that is who knows who that is? Who is that?
Azusa Street, when would you guys know about him?
He said we was blind and one Isaiah's William Seymour. What do you want to go to Mission when he wanted to go and listen to theology. He wasn't allowed in the classroom. So he stood by the window the here and learn. So you wasn't allowed in there cuz it was a time in American history where there was a thing called segregation. As he wasn't allowed in the classroom. So he stayed on the outside of the width of the class when the professor let him be by the window and he was hungry to know about God.
Soon after that he ended up birthday in What's called the Azusa Street Revival and let me tell you in that time segment in history. It was not okay for people to of different cultures that be sitting in one room together put it in this revival people came from all over that in the same room together and the spirit of God Minister didn't move in such a way that the fire station got called on and off because they kept seeing fire and smoke coming from the building when the fire people would come there to put the fire out. There was no fire. No physical fire to be put out but there was a spiritual fire that they all said they seen but it's not real fire.
Yes.
Come on.
Yeah.
Yes. Yes, absolutely. You know you're you know your history this church history. So you would understand that because of that. She's absolutely right operation people didn't like having the gifts around they preached against if they didn't believe I tell you something man. The reason why we don't believe a lot of things that we don't see a lot of things a man. Come on, man. You not going to argue with me about this got healed because I still got here. I think you were sitting out here. You're not going to argue with me just got raised dead people back from the grave because guess what? I'm a living Witness.
You're so so I'm not here to argue church doctrine and nonsense I want to know is what Jesus said. Can we see because what we begin to see on Earth will leave a legacy that impact generation this guy. Sold out for Jesus hungry Revival inflows and it was good still going on the remnants of what happened that day in is still happening. Before he died well before he one of the prophecies that he gave was this. A hundred years from now you're going to witness a bigger Revival than this and it's going to make this one look so small. What God wants to do? Say Okay top. I hear you. I'm talking about generational Legacy. William CC Moore Another one for a second. Don't tell me you guys made watch the movie. Some of you guys may have told you guys go to that is. Who is this? Chuck Smith, who is the other guy next to truck? Money for the water. What do you know them from?
Revival sister who is more who's in the seventies? regarding about
do you want to think I already know?
You're a little late, but who is from the 70s? Yeah. So what happened was a big group of people that weren't reached by the church North Society. You got to understand what was happening. Yes. It was still racial tensions. Yes, there was other things going on, but it was these group of people that Society did not want North Jackson or the church if you have people known as the hippies I never have never seen that these junkies right there must be a junkie.
I've been delivered.
It was his group of people that's been fit into the normal society Society wanted them to function this way and behave this way the church's wanted that there's unreachable and Sunday, we do these math parties are ready to listen to new age teachers and then tripped on LSD.
pagaduan after those people How do you get into a crazy hippie name, Lonnie? What is the legacy of them?
It's still going on today. Someone had the first of all the guy right here is Lonnie. Where's my little pointer at Ronnie? How did you have a radical conversion to God?
It's like a Disney movie like what's wrong with the clicker?
If I didn't charge it, my bad.
And it kept going and went to the neighbor's Vineyard. It just kept rolling on you when you're hungry for God to Lonnie's hungry and chalk right there. He had to be willing to let the hippies in the church.
And let me tell you as a pastor. Could you imagine the establishment of the church? It's making like the Amish when everyone else in the church.
Are you going to give me an honest or no honest? You know, I'm telling the truth.
It was unheard of but God was moving because some people got hungry to see the kingdom of God and lies restored listen, and it caused a legacy to be birthed it cause it was trying to Revival that caused a legacy called the Jesus people movement. It went on for years just made a movie about it. You haven't seen it. I would invite you guys to watch it is pretty.
Yeah.
w Yes, he wanted the people that Society said unacceptable that the church culture has made unacceptable. You understand. That's what Jesus went after. Let's be real about this. When we look at our Messiah. We got to realize he was a carpenter's son from a place called Nazareth, which is basically like saying he's from the ghetto.
Even if one disciple say can anything good come out of Nazareth. There's only prostitutes thieves and Liars. And that's where our savior came from and when you walk the streets with people listen mad. Yes, there was times you hung out with political figures, but most of the time he was hanging out with people who weren't seen as good and society and some of them were political figures lawyers in tax collectors prostitutes and drunk and that's why he was called a wine-bibber because he hung out with drunk people.
religion hates that you know that religion hate to hear that their Messiah walked in places that religion refuses to go. Let me explain the Pharisee said dude. What are you doing hanging out with all these to go Jesus is like man. I didn't come for those who are well I came for those who were sick the issue with you is you don't know that you're sick.
And Jesus walked among them and do he he loved those people and there was transformation in society because of it. What is Charlie with the individuals? One of the most transformational P4 in influential people. I know in the Old Testament is is besides Abraham. I would probably say this guy right here.
King David
Do you got a very good name Buddy? Everyone named David put your hand off.
yummy Rock, buddy
David Mann you're David to Middle name my first name?
Surprise you. What made David So influential? This is why he was anointed to be king. He was anointed first before he was ever King and then he killed a giant named Goliath and then he became Israel's Champion what made him so influential do the first part is he was anointed? Before anyone ever knew David was David was out in the field singing before God worshiping him because of his worship to God. You got to realize your worship to God into your life. You can write that down. You can trust me write that down, dude. Your worship before him Usher's in anointing into your life and anointing breaks Yost. And anointing is something that is tangible when it's in the room. It's this weight that comes with your presence.
Are we listen to the world will go with us? Just that person is very charismatic.
And he will lift you up Dad. Will David really got nothing to be proud of think about this for a second with me. We know the story of the shepherd boy, but do you understand why he was in the field in the first place and not in his father's house. Because you're the reason why I dated was out in the field and not in his father's house because it's believed by Jewish Scholars that David was conceived outside of the marriage by another woman.
What's the song that he wrote? He said I was shaped in iniquity and thin then my mother conceived me.
So you have the half brother hanging out in the field. Who's out of the side of his other brothers and his father? Magic Jesse like everyday I see this dude. I'm remind me of my big mistake.
David learn to worship God and sometimes you have to learn to worship God and isolation in order to bring and anointing to break yokes.
What does it have to do with Hunger? Absolutely everything how many you guys get Alone by yourself and just go into a place with God? I'm not judging you. I'm just challenging you. Hunger, man, and I'm not talking about just a bunch of Christian activity. I'm telling you a real heart commitment towards God. We're just like, you know, Papa you're so good. I don't care. If no one sees it. I'm freaking in love with you. I don't care building like me saying it like that, but it's between you and me anyway. How do we get to be this thing that draws you he gets to draw you to himself, right? And you can do drive him to you. the next thing you know, there's an anointing that comes with I do not skip this place with God and I start to send some feel that it's not just about What is a sense and feel let me explain this real quick? What I'm saying since and feel I'm not talkin about an emotional states. Okay. I'm not talking about emotions, even though emotions are involved. I'm talking about a spiritual sensitivity and a spiritual feeling towards God through a lot of times that we like to do is as long as
But we like to do. Is it the Holy Spirit shows up and starts moving? We'll leave it in called emotional ism. Instead of asking a question are they these people really sense in God's hand is God really moving and if God is moving less you the fruit of it instead of judging it.
A lot of times we re prejudge fruit before it has time to mature. Are we pre judge people before they have time to mature?
So David's annointed he learned to worship God which part of the anointing and that's me, you know, she has some battles. I'm even though David has some battles before you had public battles. He fought what did what did David end up killing? Come on, man. It's dude. I promise you she he definitely wasn't with Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz cuz everything would have been killed.
Yeah. Killing Bears alliance with a slingshot and that's mean, you know, there's this guy named Goliath was a giant and if you want to understand how tall Goliath was so we can get some understanding with with some scars. Actually. He was 11 ft. Tall Giant. What do you do with a John Legend ft? Tall Giant 11 ft tall? I don't. I mean Shaq pretty big. Zach is pretty big but he's not that big. Do you have this little boy music killing a giant who is defying God's Army and he becomes Israel's Champion to the point where people sing songs about him.
Did it was kind of like a talking thing. He was like Hey, you know Saul has killed his thousands and David his killed his tens of thousands.
Let's be real about this. There's you thinking about David killing tens of thousands of
maybe we have a system of your what Christianity is.
but if you real maybe have a real sissy view of what Christianity is and if it's not that sissy fight and we don't like it.
Today was a worshipper a champion later became king. I'm not talkin about love. Let me explain myself. I'm not talk about love love is one of the most powerful things in the in the whole entire world. There's one thing that doesn't feel and that's called love. What I'm talking about is that we sometimes we need to allow God to move in a powerful way and quit being so scared of God moving.
It sounds rough. I know.
I know it sounds rough. But do you know what it looks like the god, it looks like piglet. You're what's Winnie the Pooh? What was the thing with piglet he was always? Remember what it was you were scared. He was sitting here freaking scared of everything. God doesn't want us to be afraid of everything actually. The scripture says I haven't given you a spirit of fear, but of power love and a sound mind. Why does it start with a h? Why is the order of power love in soundness of mind? Because if you try to get a sound mind without with without power facing the spirit of fear, you're going to operate in fear.
You going to make Waze? Come on, man. You're going to create ways for you. Nothing face your fear, but the run from it and it's going to sound good going to be very logical is going to have good explanations and reasoning and you're going to call it wisdom. That's rough. Why isn't it love because look man power love love facing fear. It's not going to work either. He wants to give you power to overcome first. God doesn't want you to be afraid he wants you to face the thing you're scared of with power bonus and look him straight in the face without wavering knowing that God loves you. So rightly and that you you are safe in his arms. You're safe in his care and then and then He wants to show you how to how to deal with it through his wisdom. Not yours. Call the sound mind. So David became king. The one thing that fascinates me about David isn't so much of the what he did. It's what who he inspired. What is a generational influence? David was a little boy and he killed the baddest Warrior on the planet at that time and Goliath. I don't know about you, but that's kind of rude. And that's when you know just to be a guy wear my dudes that wear my dudes that just to be a dude I've ever seen a little boy going kill a giant and we were all hiding in her tent.
Come on, man. Let's just be real with me. Are we still going ice? This is little dude. Just kill the giant. We were all hiding in our tent from are we still man? I think we are well good thing they were back in that day cuz it would ask people in this day. They will just confuse. What's a man?
so as we look on David inspired people and this is why I want you guys to look at in scriptures. I want you guys to highlight. This first quranic was 11 10 through 25. Because the story started with David but it didn't end there because I love it man. It is so inspiring when I read it is talked about in. These are the chief of David's Mighty Men. So before you had just David, but then it you reading scripture you find David and his Mighty Man.
dog tongue I think I see it. No. kind of cool, but that David and his mighty men is so cool because these men were Mighty before David. You got to realize this man every man that's on the Everyman. Call David said it in the scriptures. I'm talking to everyone who.
Does a hummingbird go read their Bibles? So how to make a Bible judge you got to follow me? David said I'm talking to every man who pisses on the side of a tree.
Don't tell you dudes. Listen you man. You guys are all David's innocence and there are men waiting for you to rise up because you inspire them to rise.
Before David these men were cowards. They were scared they hit in tents and all of a sudden he saw David kill Goliath and now it's me, you know, David is killing tens of thousands and David begins to have a apostrophe following him. These are the monument the one who was with him as he took up his kingship with all Israel joining in helping him become king is just the way God has spoken regarding Israel. So exciting. This is really cool, man. the list of David's Mighty Men you guys got to give me grace and mercy for these names because we don't sell them like this anymore.
Who wants who wants to go first and pronounce it?
Georgia Selby just show me
the host of being son of a hurricane. That's a weird one. Was chief of 30 single-handedly killed 300 men kill them all in one skirmish.
No, that's not a crazy. This dude fault one battle and killed three hundred men and he only did that because you remember what David they will Goliath be renewed what David did and that inspired him to move on to next next with aliens or something to do that. I the right one of the big three of the Mighty Men. He was with David at tops a dangerous man. Tell read it before but I still do the same thing like gosh I can have simple names like George.
Were the Philistines had muster the troops for battle it was in and it was an area where there was a field of barley the Army started to flee from the Philistine and then took and then took his stand right in the field and turn the top. They slaughtered the Philistines God helping them a very huge Victory as they said dude. They were Running Scared. This guy took a stand in the middle of the field and he end up turning the tie one dude turn the tide.
Why what gave these men courage what game that you can say God? Yes. Absolutely God but it wasn't just got a loan because of that would have been the case it would have happened when he was there.
This is be real it was God Alone. They would have charged Goliath all of them at the same time. They didn't. They saw God working through David. It inspired them to do things and inspired them to take a stand and see if God can be with David. He can be with me and he took a stand in the middle of a fight and fought 300. Turn the Flippin tide, man. I want to tell you something David and his mighty men were cowards.
The Big Three from the 30 made a rock you two sent to David at the cave of adullam while accompanied of the Philistines was camped in the valley of ruffian David was holed up in a cave while the Philistines were prepared for battle at Bethlehem. David had a sudden craving what I wouldn't give for a drink of water from The Well of Bethlehem, the one at the gate the three penetrated the film was I can't hold on. David wanted some water. There's a crazy battle going on outside dirt. They're basically pigeon-holed in a cave and it needs three guys penetrate the Philistines Army Drew water you water from a well in the middle of a Babcock. Girl crazy battle going on and then you guys are going to drink get water from a well. Did he want think this is crazy. Am I the only one that thinks this is absolute Insanity for a second. Drew water from the well at Bethlehem gate shoulder-to-shoulder. It brought it to David and then David one drink and he poured it out as a sacred offering to God. What causes men to do something so crazy? I don't know you get a bunch of guys together. We'll think of something crazy. Do you want we
what caused them to do that? If you guys ever go bull riding. Anyone ever rode a bull in here? You are the bull.
Why? God's green earth possessed you to ride a bull. Go ahead. Why'd you do it? Was it fun? Did you get bucked off? Yeah.
I don't blame you. I want to try it too.
Yes. We like challenges, but also we like to be inspired. So these guys are inspired by their leader David and they're seeing what God did with David and in his fire them to step out in other matters as you go on in this chapter. Give me one dude crazy. Like there's a lion in a pit and you jumped in the pit to kill the lion. I'm just like what in the world is wrong with these people.
What would make some of these men do this? Just so you know David's Brothers, they were known as giant Hunters. They went out and hunted Goliath's brothers who were giants. Before they were cowards, but now they're Mighty Men. What changed?
They were fired or saying they were inspired dude. I believe this by David they were inspired by the way. They saw David's relationship with God's anointing David carry to worship God in private begin to go into a public stage that brought this thing called influence. And they knew that David was with God and you God was with David.
Oh, absolutely. Some of the things David would do whatever just look at in shock and say wow. Keke taught them By his life lived unto the Lord. Let me say that again. David talked them by his life lived before the Lord.
And it caused a generation. to prosper in that time We looking with the Greek word for inspired when we lived in the Greek word inspire. You guys know what it means?
the word inspire means to breathe on What's a word you use when Jesus came into the room and he said he breathed on them. It's the same word that you was all scripture is god-breathed. God inspired the same Greek word. Just so you guys know so it's saying David when he came around then he breathed on them in the center and they caught something that he had that meant brought that brought influence at a degree that he couldn't have. Naturally. That's why Supernatural. You can do everything in your natural strength. You do not need God.
I wanted us to prom with some of the church. Where am I being nice and I'm not being mean either. I'm just going to tell you the truth. I wonder if the problem is we're trying to do everything in our natural strength. I'll let y'all going to see her some of the whole church in general rest of the in the West.
That we don't need.
Yeah, there it is. Absolutely, they were functioning from a place of not knowing that we need him and it will function from that place. It's probably indicator is are you guys hungry for God?
What do you want to Bill? What are you what are you hungry for? What do you want to see, What do you want? What do you want us to leave behind? Do you want to leave a a good place to community or do you want to leave a place where I've moved?
The cat why can we have both we can both? But you don't put the horse before the car. Yes, you do. You guys are all shaking here. Yeah, we don't put the horse before the cart and she do. There's always a Friendly Card. He pulls it.
Are you?
neither was I
Maybe the issue is that as we're trying to do this thing with God. Are we putting God first are we putting him in front of us or are we just trying to put them behind us and they agree with everything that we're doing?
God I just want you to agree with the way I'm doing things. I want you to agree. You know, I'm commit my plans to you, but I'm not going for to you for my plans.
What you say? You become your own God. Yeah, but you understand what I'm saying? This is Gertrude that we can look at commit your plans to the Lord and they will succeed. Well, I'm going to write my plans and then give them the God. So now they have to succeed or do you go to God for the plan? Many times is David's wife. He's going to God for the plan. Where what do you want me to do the day he doesn't do it is a damn man dies because they're trying to carry the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem. It didn't work out.
Are you putting God first and asking him? What do you want? How do you want this to? Look? What does it need to look like or are we living by our own strength and understanding?
I'm going to see son is going to be rough the receiver. You ready? Are you sure you're ready? It'll be rough to receive. I'm a sad cuz I don't want you guys to grow up. I want you to maturity. I want you guys to Bear much fruit. Your willingness to look foolish is the indicator of how open you are with Papa.
You don't like to do. Hello. Fun, is it? Your willingness to look foolish is an indicator of how open you are the father God no tap. I don't believe that. Well, let me help you it is the foolish things for the wisdom of God is what? Who knows your Bahu Street in the Bible for the wisdom of God is what? Is what foolishness foolishness to man?
You don't believe me. A little boy fighting a giant that's foolish. building a rain never felt once going cross a c
i got this razor razor rod. Are we going fishing people?
Look at it. the son of God show me to the womb of a woman coming to Earth walking talking like a human being being. God and fully man, simultaneously not getting people to come and serve him but being a servant to man.
Come on. We got this man Jesus the son of God.
Begin to operate different than what was wise to the religious mind. He hung out with people who know if you want to hang out with.
It didn't know it did not fit did the Pharisees and Sadducees agenda? What Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life. He's telling you I am the way that you should walk in. I am the truth that sustains your life. And I came to give you life and life abundantly. I want to make you clear. Your phone is The Human Experience. The fullness of The Human Experience is found in Christ.
I don't look man. I like lifting weights. But a Jesus don't go with me to the gym. It's not fun.
Play bro. I'm serious. You ready? I'm serious. Are they? I met you in the gym didn't I?
Play Jesus goes with me to the gym. To the fullest of life is found in Christ in until we understand that we're going to be looking for fulfillment and places. That's just going to leave us empty and dry. I don't know if some of you tired of being empty and dry.
You tired of feeling like man got I just got to come on man. I've been there trust me Lord. I'm just going to binge-watch this because at least when I'm binge-watching this I don't have to think about nothing else and it's like a way for me to break from reality. I'm going to
that's before Christ. And why did I smoke and to accept myself to love myself to feel peace?
Maybe it's not drink or smoke. Maybe it's like, you know, I'm just going to keep bouncing from relationship to the next because what happened in this relationship is I'm in it as long as it's the new car filled but the minute don't have that new car feel. I'm out of it. You know what? I mean?
Looking for fulfillment in the thing is we only look at that from people who don't know Jesus. But why in the world do we do that when we know Jesus? Let's be real. Yes. We leave substitutes will use us to even as a Christian we have substitutes. Do we use y?
There it is. We don't know him well enough and also we haven't experienced him long enough. And you said what time can we ever well with man it's impossible. Scripture for that. It's impossible With God all things are So, I wonder if it's possible to experience God for an extended. Of time.
It is. It is God is not against you experiencing him because you understand unless you experience him. You won't be influenced by him.
Unless you experience. You won't be influenced by God simple as that.
You cannot try to muster yourself into being influenced by God cuz you will create religion.
Yes.
All these revivals that has taken place. Do you know what happened in all of them people experience God, you know me people know what the Toronto blessing is. Tell me instead of Toronto blessing basically this guy. Pastor's wife to start having these meetings and God showed up in a way that was not normal. People would be filled with laughter. Holy laughter, they begin to roll on the ground some of them.
No, I'm okay with the laughter rolling on the ground, but there's some of them bark like dog.
I'm just like You know, I'm just trying to do their like this real and honest with me. Okay, if you will laugh in your life right now, I'm leaving.
barking like a dog
That's true better. That is true. I don't know what happened to me. I was there and I felt the present and I don't know. I just feel compelled to bark like a dog.
like I was not there as an investigation, you know, I'm thinking like God but why?
I was cool with that. I agree with DMX.
That's foolish. Well, is there something in the scriptures that we can based on reference? Yeah, what about Gideon and his army? god making them loud water like a
who is this?
To each one of these impact had Legacy because God breathed on it and God inspired it. My question is are we hungry to allow God to breathe on us to inspire us to bed so that he can birth what he wants. Like seriously not retarded gender book birth what God wants to bring to Earth. His name is Jesus somebody absolutely I agree with you a hundred percent, but he still wants the first movements. and he still wants people's lives every touch she wants to let me just
he wants so many stories of what God is doing that. It impacts Kevin to the point that impacts all of his children.
You got we hope that's great. Purim knows what I'm saying impact where you guys this is Rufus. He's also known as Miko.
How do you refuse again 2022 impact you to a place where you're when you're 50, you still think about how big got him back to you? He wants to carry so much influence in your life that we are 50 or looking back at 21 God. You're so real and it impacts your children cuz you can't get over what God did. to you
That's how you leave a generational influenced Legacy. That's how you actually burst thing that lasts and don't just passed after a fake. I don't know about you guys, aren't you guys? I likes to super sick and tired of Revival starting then dying. Like I mean, I was so excited for a strawberry, but you don't hear anything about it. Now, do you?
You out here, you know it was it was. I don't see why was squash but yes, it was cuz they weren't allowing people to come in sick. I think of Jesus was serving drinks. He wouldn't tell anyone to stop coming. Last time I heard he's open bar.
Call new wine. And he serves it at Joel's place.
But you need to know your Bible. So we make no Bible jokes can make sense. Could enjoy it says I'm four of my spirit. Never mind.
Explain what he wants to do that. I don't know. I'm I want to see God impact so much not just me personally in my private life. I want that in my private life and I want to see God moving the market. I want to see God moving and Middlefield and burns to such a degree that it's impossible for you to escape knowing god. Let me share a story. So, you know, I'm at the gym. I'm working out. Like I usually do house training. Someone. Someone was my buddy. We had this conversation ride. Inviting the guy to church did not invite you to church right a highlighters you cool. So then I didn't go to the gym, but I didn't know what else is going on because I had to come on dad Duty my wife's in school. So she's not here this weekend, but my wife in school summer, dad Duty. I didn't make it to the Gemini man. I was going to Auntie but that has been comes up to me right then right? There you go by the church to No, brother had no idea that I talk to this damn guy invite in the church. Did you? Are you told you afterwards but it became just let me tell you something what happens? when we get home and see the kingdom come it begins to be this natural Synergy that begins the birth from the kingdom Ralph where God will purposely if I don't realize it would not purposely puts people in your path that will be impacted by you and also someone else from his kingdom so that the person Okay, then packed it within a week about 7 to 20 times. Should be 72 20 time but usually is probably like one or twice in a month because honestly the churches and moving.
Let me tell you when you're moving. You're not going to stay stagnant. You're not going to stay adolescent because you got someone to pour into the reason why there's a lack of discipleship in churches because Just say dude. The reason why because you're not pulling into nobody. Give me the lack of passion cuz you're not pulling into nobody. The reason why there's a lack of growth is cuz you're not pouring into nobody.
By Truman died is because they don't use the pour into the Next Generation.
I have four boys, right? I got four Sons.
It is imperative for me as a father. The point of them but it's also imperative me as a father in the pasture the pouring two other teenagers and leaders because they're probably going to be pastoring my sons.
Some examples of someone like David probably have a conversation with my son Jack's one day that won't never know about.
It's imperative that we have a generational influence thinking pattern. We realized that you're going to impact my grip. You know, that means Matt your kids can impact my grandkids.
a scary
I thought about it.
What is a stinking bigger than what we're out right now? It sucks having a bigger vision and say you know, what? I'm going to I want God to do this thing called a generational impact generational influence. I want to have a legacy not just based on me. So people praise me, but based on who got it. So even without me it lives.
That's what it's about in the Kingdom. That's what the king knows about, you know, and let me tell you prove to you how I know. It's true. I want you to Jesus thought that way.
That even without me it's still lives. I wonder he did he do that.
Oh, yeah. That is why I sent the Holy Spirit and they kept that was in church and things started growing and people started knowing god more.
What is the real for a second I'm be telling you something man. They didn't have a new testament. So what do you think they were reading and talking and thinking about? Oh, okay. They were singing about their what? call
they were singing about their experience with God.
There was talking about I know him. I met him the Messiah, you know, and all of a sudden there was like yeah, this is the Messiah going to Gentile Nations preaching about a God that the Gentiles did not have
And I'm pretty sure I'm not being mean. They probably didn't go back A to Z to tell them about feel like Jesus is the son of God. His name is Yeshua.
And yeah, they say which one we have a pasty on. And it would explain what then what do they do after they became believers they would take them and they would begin to speak to them and train them in the righteousness that they have a right standing with God through the shed blood of Jesus holding, which is a byproduct of love. And you bring and birth that into them into such a degree that they would see themselves differently. I tell you the tragedy is the day I can't see Zach for who he's traded to be.
Tragedy is when I don't see. Mom the way God created her to be.
Discernment is it the ability to say what's wrong with someone it's their ability to discern and bring back truth to them of what's right.
Let me play if you like the gift of discernment know you just a critical person.
You know all the problems we have no answers for the solution critical.
The sermon is bringing back then back to who God created us and be scripture says it like this. No, no man after the flesh, but according to the spirit do if I'm Discerning you not according to the spirit. I'm doing it improperly.
That's a big indicator.
I know that's a nice word in did a little kick in the rear an argument. I just turned him differently in like
are you agreeing with that?
Came back from Florida and still. But hear this man and I don't see Matt for you Doctor Asian to be I will misinterpret a and misjudge him and I'll speak death over him and not like that Christ put in him. You know what happens when that happens in marriage?
How long has it been now?
Since July what you guys are going to be moving up to two years. What about you guys? Hey, I just want to tell you guys this seems to be like The Newlywed section. So if you want to get married, you might want to sit behind them at Sun Will brush off on you.
But today you missed you to discern wrong of her and everything is bad. I'm just telling you it's bad because I'm telling you I know from experience.
Can we wrap this up now? Listen guys don't want you guys are here and learned here today. I want to come up and play.
1st Corinthians Paul's writing to tell me she was right to the church and he said I want you to pattern your lies after me just as I kind of mind after Christ. Other translation says I want you to imitate me as I imitate Christ. He was saying this because you wanted him to realize that until you learn how to walk and live in think like him. I want you to be able to have an example to follow. I think so many times. We forget that the kingdom and God is all based on the examples of follow the Bible. The reason why we have all the stories, there are examples that we have understanding that we can follow
I know that I asked you some of you guys so tired some of you guys are weary some you guys feel dry like a opportunity to pray for you guys if you're here today, and you don't know Jesus you like. I don't know this Jesus, but I want to know him.
Because that's always what it's been about. It's never been about going to heaven or hell. It's been about knowing him. It's hard as that you would know him. If that's you would like you to come up to talk with you and share the good news with you guys about how Jesus can become your lord and savior.
