Turn to somebody and say to them, I don't need to point out them, say you're awesome.

Don't leave anybody. I just don't. They behind you. Say you're awesome.

Where are you? You're an awesome charge.

Oftentimes the enemy wants to tell us what we aren't.

And you have to reply and tell him what you are.

Title, if you're into tiles of messages, then fight the good fight.

I gave you some homework to do.

When you put your hand up, if you read the two readings that I gave you.

I'm not my money, right? Okay. It's okay that we will be up on the screen in a minute. I started to come read the two readings at different different times, but I want to say to you this one, number to the church, to listen to sermons.

If you go to church just to listen to sermon, it'll make you judgemental.

because you judge woman, sermon against another

When is Goody's at last one.

You have to come to church. And when you come in and say God, what is it that you want me to learn today?

Okay. What is gold want you to learn today to learn today?

a first reading is like, if you can come number 13, what is 21 + 3?

I know so they can explore the land from the desert is in as far as we held toward that Bahamas. They're bent up to the neck up and came to Heparin Cheshire and time are the descendants of anak lived, seven years before Zevon. In Egypt, when they reach the valley of Ashes called that cut off a bronze bearing, a single cluster of grapes. Two of them carried on a pole between them along with some pomegranates and figs. that place was called the valley of Escrow because of the cluster of grapes, the Israelites cut off their At the end of 40 days, they return from exploring the land. They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite Community up to dash in the desert of power on there. They reported to them and to the whole assembly and show them the fruits of the land. They gave Moses. The second, we went into the land to which you sent us and it just flow with milk and honey.

Here is its fruit but the people who live there are powerful and the cities are fortified and very large, we even sold a sentence of I not get there. The amalekites live in the Gaff, the Hittites jebusites and amorites live in the Hill Country.

Then Caleb song is the people before Moses. And said, we should go up and take possession of the land for we can. Stephanie do it? But the men who are going up visit them said we can't attack these people. They're stronger than we are and they spread them on the Israelites. A bad before I bought the land, they had explored They said the land, we explored devours, that was living in it. All the people we saw, there are of great size. We saw the Nephilim, they're the descendants of our knock came from the Nephilim. We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes and we looked the same to them. Thank you.

Kind of words, right?

He was right. They could have done it.

They were the fittest people in the area. They had spent hundreds of years in slavery. They've been worked to the Bone. They were fat.

See, they weren't they weren't beaten with this.

But they were beaten with this.

She go with doing exactly what he said he would do. If your look up, Exodus 38, when you go home and check it out. First thing was Moses when he was in the wilderness and he came across this bush that was burning but wasn't being devoured. And don't touch him. Take off your shoes cuz the place that your son always, holy grain. Lisa, I want you to take my people to the promised land, a land flowing with milk and honey. Prosperous place.

I also told him about the ice.

Don't know that live in the land. So go to don't hide anything from them.

You say?

Moses out of Egypt, but he couldn't get Egypt out of them. They still had a slave mentality.

They wanted somebody else to do things for them.

Socratic questioning for us.

Are we going to claim our inheritance?

Are we going to take the promised land that God has for us?

Go said I've got it there for you. It's your inheritance. Go to. This is my promise. It's there. You can have it.

Are we going to sit in the wilderness? I just look at it.

I've been thinking, what is our inheritance? In Christ. An inheritance is a family thing in there. You can only inherit something from family.

Blind people fully about Wheels.

Because they, they squabble about their inheritance.

But what is our inheritance as a child of God? What is our Promised Land? A few things to come and kick is going. I mean,

Put your hand up. If you can recite John 3:16.

What can I borrow the money, use on Monday? So, we going to Canada, para que, no se pierda la Vida, you can smell someone in English.

I will deal with your after.

For the Lord. So loved the world that he gave his only begotten song for whoever believes in him. Should not perish but have eternal life. Thank you.

Good night.

Salvation is our inheritance.

Jesus stories for

healing is on inheritance. 53. West Farm Road 6th by his wounds. We are healed.

And Mark, 16 Verse 18, the last part of the first. So they will, they will place their hands on the sick and they will get well,

except for depression anxiety, traumatic, childhood experiences, violent relationships, addictions concert on the war, on the end of my nose. There are no exceptions.

The fruit of the spirit or inheritance.

Love joy. Peace. Long suffering, or patience, whatever version you read. Kindness goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

The fruit of the spirit is our inheritance. It's hours. It's almost 5:00, right? As children of God.

But Jesus never said. That it was going to be handed to us on a plate.

Mark 10:34 say I have not come to bring peace on Earth.

Jesus is quite hard on this disciple when he sends them out. and if I can,

Versus 3738.

Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. Anyone who loves their son, or daughter more than me is? Not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross, and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it. Whoever loses their life, for my sake, will find it.

Confident.

That's not this lovey-dovey Jesus that sometimes gets preached. He was hard on his disciples.

you know, I Don Imus off for nearly 20 years, worked with Alex.

And Alex has to fight every day. To keep their Promise Land to keep their freedom from addiction.

Is white people that have been through programs and the 12 Steps. In particular, you ask them how long they've been clean. Been clean for three years, something buns and three days. And sometimes they will even identity hours.

Why? Because they've had to fight for every one of those days. The key part of addiction.

We were very real enemy who wants to keep us out of our inheritance in Christ.

He will try. If he cannot talk you out of it.

Are you convinced you of what you can't do?

when scripture tells us what we can do, Why in Philippians 4:13 says I can do all things through Christ. Who strengthens me. I can No, I can't.

When is Oceans Church.

Employed as a youth worker. About this time last year. And she took off my role at this time. And I was talking to her.

Yeah. West Bend

The 10 days or so.

I told her what was what was the most difficult thing about you coming cuz she came from a long way away.

The first thing she said, was she said before I left home, it was south.

Should I came down for an interview? She said then Panther Crispin. He said he tried to talk me out of it. She said,

When she arrived the first week, her car blew up. And it had to be replaced.

And then, for some weeks, she had to fight off, homesickness.

But she pulled it off. And she is not in her Promised Land. She started a youth club at the church last and the last February March Time. The last time I went into how I going to help out and make a nuisance of himself, but there were, there were 43 screaming kids in that room. But stick kite in a room. Full of screaming kids on his like as if I like with her, and she is totally at home.

Last night. They, they help.

What they called a glow party. It was instead of Halloween.

My texts are less swollen.

There are over sixty children attended along with 40 adults.

And a half of more than half of those were uncharged.

She's in her Promise Land cheese function in there.

Some of you will know for the Bahamas. Tell the lady, I pray for her husband. Joe a lot.

Amazing Ministry.

When she knew she was being cold into that Ministry in their late teens or early twenties. When she knew that goes Cole, was on her life in that way.

she was told that she wouldn't as many words, But she wasn't pretty enough for the industry.

You want to kick a young lady, whatever you say that to her.

She is not the fight. To get where she is. She hasn't just appeared on TV and all over the place. But she still alive after today, she would say to me that she is still fighting. For our inheritance.

I love that song.

You still reign in your still golf.

Our friend, she's cool Show Paris. And you can look her up online. She's one of the main ones of a Christian festival, called creation, Festival takes place or has taken place every year. It's not this year, but will be again, I think next year. She's also the head of Imagine Ministries, which is a Ministry that is to promote and to get kids teenagers to tell them about Jesus basically. she's been involved with gold TV, they Did something I don't know exactly what I have a job to keep up with her, but it went over the world a children's thing, she's also chairman of the Lions. And it's a group of Christian entrepreneurs, get together and quietly do things.

He's a singer. Some lighter. A book writer.

The age of 14 or 15. She was bullied in school.

To the point that she was anorexic, she struggled with an accent. Her parents were told unless something changed, she would be dead in six months.

They said that she had so damaged herself internally, that she would never have children.

Wow, we met with Cheryl and Tim her husband Creation Fest this past year. I think. At least three of the four boys were there, when that three of the four, she got four boys old teenagers.

Santa fight. I still fights. For her inheritance in gold.

We also pray for Revival. I sometimes question what we do or maybe it's me just being cynical.

Sometimes, you know, we going to be careful what we pray for.

The definition of a Revival is. A move of God.

In which 20% of a given population.

Become believers.

I looked up some things for I go.

The most reliable, last it for years.

Let me know if you had a full-blown Revival and I come on surrounding area. That would be fine. Stuyvesant 600 + people in charge by 2030.

That's mind-blowing. As to how you that would be handled. That means every charge including this one would be bursting at the seams, every Methodist.

Every minute of every denomination would be bursting at the seams. And you would have to build churches or rent places for everybody to be to get into worship. I mean it's

Watch Ender's Game.

Taking the two sides of the figures for a gun.

if there was a 1% Revival,

For the next 4 years.

This church. Could have two sides and eight hundred people in it. Pastor just fell off his chair cuz he's going on.

You would have a children's work with seven or eight hundred kids in it.

1%. Over 4 years.

Don't encourage you don't stop praying for a reliable.

But when you pray for Revival pray also that God gives you the tactics to cope with that Revival.

Everybody, that would come into the church without Revival. Wouldn't be perfect. Don't like you.

You're awesome. They would come in with broken. The marriage has broken families, broken relationships, addictions depressions anxiety. Crippling debt.

But that just 1%. Over 4 years.

What is your Promised Land? As a chart.

I've got a bigger and better running me. Christian Fellowship, that could be more effective for him in the area. if he has, will you fight for it?

Will you fight for it in prayer? Because no Revival anywhere in the world has ever happened without prayer.

Aberdeen Revival.

Started by two old ladies that were in their early 80s. And they noticed that there were no young people in church and they started to pray.

Will you fight for it? With your wallets and bank accounts.

I know I was doing really well, well night before I said that.

Will you fight for it was business?

Often times we we talk about money in a negative way. The love of money is the root of all evil.

God is looking for people who can start run businesses for him, that will make money for him. That will also as they're doing it, promote the gospel.

Movie fight for it with our time.

Revival. Start the husband. It takes our time. I will take our time.

Okay. If you could come and read that,

Second scripture in Joshua.

Joshua 14, 60 15. The people of Judah, approached offshore Kilgore and Caleb. Son some Jasmine. Just the kind of guy said to him, you know what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, I'll cut it for now about you. And me, I was 14 years old but Moses, the Servants of the Lord sent me to explore the land, and I brought him back a report according to my convictions, but my fellow Israelites who ransacked with me made the parts of the people melt in fear,

So will not die Moses, swore to me the land on which your features, what will be your inheritance than that? If you were children forever because you have followed the Lord my God. How much is a no then just as the Lord promised he has kept me alive for 45 years since the time you said this to Moses, What Israel moved about in the wilderness? So, here I am today 85 years old. I am still a strong today as the day and Moses sent me out. I'm just as vigorous to go out to Bothell know, as I was then,

Now, give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day. You lose yourself had then that the and I'm cards were there and their cities were large and fortified but the Nord helping me, I will drive them out, just as he said, Then Joshua + Caleb, senator, for Nana, and gave him Heparin as his inheritance to Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jafar. Not the genocide ever since, because he's holding the Lord, the god of Israel. Howard heartedly. Heparin used to be called curious Arbor after Harper, who was the greatest man among the attic Heights, then the land had rest from war Thank you.

Goes looking for some crazy old Coots.

Caleb was just a crazy old coot with me. I mean, he was nuts.

He should have been sent in the recliner with his feet up.

Very walls. Student, the bottom of a mountain.

This is been promised to me by God. This is my inheritance.

Let me look. That means

And he said, if you don't get off that mountain, I'm going to throw you off.

He went nuts. He was crazy at 85 years old.

He might say hi. Do you know the When the Children Israel went into the promised land that they had to fight for it. Well actually, it's is right there. At the end.

At the end of those last, that last verse of Joshua, it says, in the land, had to rest from war.

so that means previously up until that point, they had been at War

Wars are fought.

Ephesians 6. 6 to 10. Cuz about the full armor of God.

This has put on the full armor of God.

Put it on. Put it on, does not mean that you take it out of the drawer. This is not lovely armor.

It doesn't mean that we take it out and show it off to our friends and neighbors but they won't look at the shiny armor of God.

We have to put it on. You only put armor on if you are going into battle.

if you're having to fight for something,

I'm going out.. Fight for us is spiritual, it's against those powers in in the air.

Encourage you today. Put on the full armor of God. I'm fight for your inheritance. The, I believe everybody has got an inheritance single something in God, that you are cool, designed to do.

I could have done that, you know, I didn't.

There are wasted inheritance is Metallica. Are there all wasted inheritance is in God.

We have a rich history of people. Who have taken their inheritance.

Who have battled to take their Promised Land. I'm done it. We have loads of testimony books, that have been written about it.
