Embacing the Glory
Yeah, it is.
Okay.
Matthew has a question. What do you want?
What do you really want? good piece You can't answer back. What do you want? more
what do you want that many more people want to respond?
commute a community community Unity
Okay.
How about I make a deal with you guys ready?
if this doesn't connect
I think it's a fair question is what do you want from God? What do you want from a from a community of Believers? What do you really want? What are you looking for? Thank you. Take your spouse shopping. If you're a husband you understand taking your wife shopping whether it's groceries or weather is clothing. You got one thing on your mind, right? What did you want? Met we going to the store and then out you notice that plays a shop around they look. They take time. Ever going to bake something. They look for a specific and you can't And until they find it they don't stop looking for it cuz it's like I need this to make this type of food. Cuz they know what they want. Man, when we found a woman we knew that's what we want it. Should we put a ring on it? We married her. Let me ask you something in your walking life with God. What do you want?
Speak out loud. Come on. Come on, you guys want speak out?
Come on.
Does your life reflect what you want?
Said you got it. Yes. Yes. Does your life reflect what you really want?
I'm going off-road today guys. I got the Jeep. We're going off-road you guys ready?
We have to realize what we want isn't what we're living for or from Ben that testifies. We don't really want it.
How many people want to experience more God and worship?
How many people experience more God and worship how many people got what they wanted? How many people didn't get what they wanted?
This isn't a shame. You think we don't shame people here. I'm going to encourage you guys. I want you guys to understand so you can step in faith. if we are
we we know what we would like to have but we don't honestly live in what we want. I know it's true some people exercise. All right, come on.
I like Jake and when my wife makes cookie sheet it's over.
You're not kidding. but the truth is What I really want I begin to sacrifice with my taste buds 1. to inherit my goal
feel better and healthier, but my life I give up.
And when I start losing weight does the testimony of I'm going after my goal. What I start getting healthier, I'm going after my goal. It's the evidence of my face. Because faith that is seen is no longer faith. But what it is, it's the fruit. It's the evidence of what I believe. Let me ask you something. Is your wife the evidence of what you believe?
Come on. Yes, you do it.
Come on, your life is you having it? Whether it's good or bad? Because you reap what you sow whatever comes out of your mouth comes from your heart. And it reveals the true intentions behind yourself. You can lie to people. You can lie to yourself, but you can't fool God.
Kim Possible So, isn't it better not to try to fool yourself? What come into agreement with God because if you're going to be someone's full. How about we be the Lord's for? I believe Paul said I'm a fool for Christ.
How many people want Revival?
How many people even know what Revival is?
How many people have experienced Revival?
And now you want more. How many people have never experienced Revival Shamy?
How many people have experienced Revival? have how many people have not?
Okay, I see one thank you. Thank you. I said had this is about being honest. Asking simple question. We allow fear to dictate us. Because I don't want to. No, I'm not going to choose anything.
I got the evidence that you really don't know.
Come on. Thank you. Revival
Revival I might I might share with you. It's when our hearts first I'm going to do with the Believers and I'll deal with unbelievers. Go ahead.
Come on, come on.
dying I've been you coming back up you coming back to life? A lot of times in church. We say we want resurrection power. We say that we want to live a Revival lifestyle. We said we want people to know that where are we are Christians. First one what we think we are.
I really appreciate that. principles instead of teaching the person
you can work the system without God.
But if you want God's got to get rid of your system.
address of your system
your systems are what holds his Bat supermodels when the church actually gets what Jesus says. Take my heart take my yoke upon you and you begin to allow yourself to die all your expectations.
all your dreams outside of Christ all those things have to die direct opposition with the spirit of God in Romans 7, and we been talkin about the Flash versus the spirit and the truth is that we get to let that die we can begin to live in war with God. I bet you can catch his heart. Revival starts when the Believers catch the heart of God catch the vision of God ask a question how many of you guys are willing to intercede and fast and pray?
Be real let's just be honest.
I'm decision at Shamy think I'm showing you something here if I would tell you I want to lose weight and every time you saw me eating Donuts, what would you say?
I'm not a hypocrite really want to lose weight. A liar my mouth is saying one thing but my action and hearts doing the completely opposite direction.
Are you following me? When the church at church actually dies to all of our systems all of our critical illness of each other. God loving us to the place where I love you enough to tell you the truth. Not to tell you a lie, not to put Band-Aids on aren't you tired of banded Christianity? No one gets healed then what we do is just cover up. So no one sees the world. So no one sees the Stars we cover it up. We put a face on it dress it in the night suit jacket.
Let me say there you have it.
What is when the church grab the heart of God, I'm awake at the heart of God. Said If my people which are called by my name 7:14 would humble themselves. You say you want Revival. Do you understand? What a humbling yourself looks like. In the Bible, does it say about King Ahab?
How much are historic he didn't even look when he said he didn't think it was a big deal. He walked around today in a big deals. I want to worship but I don't know if I want to have relations outside of marriage and won't do it. If I wanted to kill a man to take his property. I'm going to do it. He didn't think it was a big deal.
It is the scripture goes on and say it says before or after it even worse then then the sun in the back who's in the Old Testament. Did you read the Old Testament a lot? Because he was the one who started Israel and Rebellion.
Fast forward got the Judgment call out on they have he says listen because you stole this man's land you and your wife Jezebel then you're going to die you're done and your children are going to go into captivity decided to do something didn't care about she was up a reproach to the Lord say not this weekend team. Did we all get out the story of humble himself before the Lord asked you to shave your hair hair or your beard?
I'm trying to grow it. It ain't working out.
What I'm going to ask you to do is they have said he humbled himself went in to morning and fasting and prayer for Mercy to God. I want you to do you see how he humbled himself before me?
That Wicked King got God's attention. Are you grabbing God's attention?
He humbles himself according to 2nd Chronicles 7:14.
I'm not being mean guys. If I would if you would tell me if I would say I really want more of God. I really want to exercise real good and I never went to the gym. Do I really want to exercise? Find a good pilates at home. I really care about exercising. Come on, just be real. Funny the things that we're believing that isn't in truth. Till then. You'd like to have you really don't want to lose weight. You really don't want to get you really don't I hear what you're saying, but your actions go completely against what you're saying. A meeting in the church. No one shows up. This. Just thought I thought the other pastor. Come on, I'm not being mean do we really want while I'm busy?
Come on. He says if my people will humble themselves and pray.
What's the most powerful weapon and we don't come together to use it?
Why?
I do it at home my prayer closet with two or three are gathered together in my name. I'm in the mits whatsoever the ass she'll be done until then.
Come on. The scripture goes on a stick my face.
How do you seek God and your day today?
You guys are here. We talked a lot about not being event orientated people.
The church culture in American culture concerned about the wedding date in the marriage.
Power concerned whether I graduated then raising our child.
Buckeye fire on me right now We're not concerned really about the relationship the character-building getting down to the nitty-gritty and setting free. We're more concerned about a big event.
I'm talking about raising a child.
Come on. Is the big event evidence of Revival?
Is loving one another everything of the marriage.
Is the graduation evident of raising the child?
You following me.
Is it a little bit of a tough message? Is it okay if I go on? Okay. Clarksville fire and I'm like, yeah, I don't play with fire. I love it. So people, you know, they put pictures up in the pictures or just the highlights. I bet we get it on might be romance. We get it or mind that that's how life really should be.
Even saw something that some married couples a look at their lives. Doesn't it? Look so happy. Why can't we be more happy like them?
Just because you watch the Highlight Reel didn't mean you watch the game.
It doesn't mean you were you watch the game. It doesn't mean you were a part of the game. How many times how many people like sports? How many times do you hear commenter coming through committing about the sport that they never even played in?
All their opinions and they're not out there running the ball. Well, if I would have been up there I would have did this and that and not talk. Sounds really good. Doesn't it? Come on. You guys have freedom to talk back. I want to tell you talk back. But we're not people that are really caring about being in the game and running the ball for the touchdown or more concerned about what people didn't do when they were in the game. You know, I really like that trade that guy.
what we do in the church is because we're not worried about raising. Come on raising a culture of the Kingdom. Bring me the people that begins to fast and pray and seek the Lord's face in their day-to-day lives.
We're really only concerned what happens on Sundays.
When when we gather together?
If you're getting baptized, I want you go ahead and change your clothes downstairs. And then come sit up here on the front bench and that bench, but we're more concerned about Sunday, and we're not really concerned about the day-to-day munity.
They are concerned out until the child is performing at school to raising a child at home. Maybe if you would help him with the school work, maybe they get it. I'm not being me. I'm being very loving right now. Are we really concerned about Revival? Or is it this? I got my ticket in the heaven tell me what's going to happen to me when I get to Glory. It's a hard journey, you know. We got the golden ticket.
But you know sons of God don't talk that way.
Let me let me share this with you cuz we were supposed to be reading this is for those who are led by the spirit of God are sons of God.
What is this man named Jesus whose God he goes to hell so that other people don't have to sit in the 9th chapter of Romans to do that. This guy by the name of apostle Paul who says sprawl of Israel. I would have it.
But all of them may be safe. Paul was saying I'd rather be eternally damned so that other people can get free.
Patricia Smith will talk that way. No, you are out of your mind. If you talk that way.
How do you mind offended don't say stuff like that and then you wonder why there's so many people. Who are born again? Who are coming to Christ Church catches part of the father? Which is if you look in scripture is my father's desire that none will perish. Are we take hold of the heart of the father and then we text the commission which is the vision of the father. Going to Jerusalem. Judea Samaria and then the other parts of the world the other most parts of the world. Before we catch the heart of God in the vision and we begin to pray with his heart and desire that we seek him with his heart desire and we begin to step in and it moved.
Do you really want Revival?
Going to take Lane and some logs on the Fire.
And your log represents your body? Hello, brother and present your body as a Living Sacrifice unto God, which is you doing reasonable service found in Romans 12. This thing is laced with scripture that you and tell you where it's found at.
Do you really want Revival or do you just want to want a church? That works?
A system that makes you feel good for the moment. Because if it's not producing life, it ain't from Jesus.
I don't care how good the system is if it's not reproducing and adding life is not from Jesus. Jesus said I came to give life and life abundantly if you talked to Jake level will tell you a little bit about producing life.
Wish I came to give you life and if it's not producing life in your life cut it out. What do you mean cut it out? It's left hand offends the right hand.
I Think Jesus was a lot tougher than what I am. His words really challenging me.
And so the evidence of what we want is revealed and what we do. And if we're not doing what we believe then we really don't believe it. I'm not into just having ceremonies.
timeranger nice, but listen I need something that's going to produce life. If me and my wife's marriage, it was a system.
I'm going there if I offend you you can talk to me after church. I love you. Okay? Book called the five love languages.
I really think it's just expressing love five different ways. The book begins to teach about that. If you do this to your spouse can do this so then she can do this so you can get this. So at the end of it, it's really self generating. Are you enjoy quality time? And I would know she likes quality time. And I know that when she gets her love tank filled all the way up. Then she's going to come and give me physical touch. I'm being real man.
She likes acts of service. I'm going to serve her so I can get my quality time. And it goes all about me you get what I'm saying? And I can create a system. a rounded based off of self-preservation
Come on.
I don't care how many psychologists say this is really good. It really helps manage a marriage.
It helped manage marriage doesn't help make one. Bank of America means that you love one another and men as Christ loved the church you love your your life down for. You let your life down for your children? Woman that you respect that man regardless of how he acts. Don't call him one.
We really talking about living in the kingdom and producing a change of generator culture that the Holy Spirit has free reign then.
How come we're so close up in our worship?
I'm going to ask the question. Are you ready?
Thank you for your honesty. Thank you so much.
Why not? What were you what were you feeling you were breaking things off? You were probably feeling with this person is going to think I do. I look stupid. I look no, why would I look I don't want to look stupid in front of people because people still have control of me. And their opinions about me and how I look to them. That's what needs to die. That's what you need to present to God as a Living Sacrifice.
Can you resurrect the only person you worried about is what God thinks Jesus say, why do you seek honor that comes from man? And not all of that comes from above. If you're going to see all of that comes from a brother and Brace Glory.
Do you know what it means in the heat in the original Greek hemis, doxa? G o x a doctor, it means to honor to appear to seem to think to emphasize.
Do you want God to emphasize you you emphasize him? You want God to appear to you you start appearing to him.
Is this scripture that I'm quoting here? Is there a sure I'm not just fighting off not so mad crazy dude with dreads flying off at the handle. Does it sound like whatsoever you do in your prayer closet and probably not in front of man not looking for Honor a recommendation for them to go DJ. The God will honor you openly before men with what more of him. So when you pray when you do think there's an impact. There's a residue of God that comes off of it and the glory of God that's inside of you a out of you.
All this talk about Doc's The Glory Appears out of you appears on you appears through you. God has an emphasis emphasis on your life. So he emphasizes himself through you.
Tell us when the church catch his dog's vision among the church, Texas God Vision. That's when you start seeing the miraculous healings Deliverance, his people set free invades a town and communities because there's people that actually work through
did you catch that? Yeah, a pepper. You're you're doing something with businesses and you helped make it run more effectively, right?
So he does this in businesses until he helps run more effectively making it run more effectively has to change things so it can be more efficient. And those changes sometime or very uncomfortable, but at the end of the business starts producing more than what it did originally and we would love to see the profits go up and everything begin to increase.
That sounds like Trudy never.
that if you start producing some fruit God's going to Improve the areas that weren't producing and help straighten up so it can produce more if you guys want to produce the fruit of everlasting. I'm not just talk about fruits of the spirit of repentance fruits of people in a harvest require us to get in line with what God save thinking. So his doctor can appear to us and through us. Do I affect the world around you?
And then the world around will begin to what God because he sees the glory of God in us and in them.
If you never asked Jesus into your heart, if you never ever had an experience with the love of God where you never heard him say, I love you. I've chosen you. I'm going to set my seal of approval on you, but holy spirit if that's you. I want you to come to the front. If you never have a relationship with Jesus, some people say save will save really means made whole healed delivered and set free if you never been made whole and you never been set free if you never been delivered don't want you to come to the front.
Don't want you to be afraid of it because there's no fear in him.
But if you have Are you saying yourself? You know, I never really took the next up there where Jesus said, you know. Be baptized. Which is full of motion underwater. It means you're dying to the old you you're coming to life with the new. If you never took the step of being baptized Hale, I will listen to that one got clothes. We got clothes for you. Can you match suit jacket?
seriously If you never ever have been water baptized 10 would have liked you to get baptized today. This wasn't a plan baptism guys. I didn't plan on it Sunday. What are you going to do? What do you do when someone?
Are you going to be Jesus? Are you going to look at your clock and say well if you come back on?
January 21st, we're going to do a special baptism service.
Are we going to become the kingdom and body of God that doesn't worry about inconveniencing and just Moves In what God's doing in the moment. Cuz that's what we're really being led by the spirit of God. She do got this a worry about your program. Waiting for you to get on his program. Waiting for you to step into his agenda his plan his heart.
And then maybe he can partner with you when you do that to bring forth. What's really he place in your heart? comes alive
That's what it's really about guys. And when we grab a hold of that Vision we can begin to see Jesus rain here. That's when our services we come alive. Like if you don't feel like dancing don't dance. I'm not telling you to dance. And you feel like waving your hands during worship wave your hands, but if you don't have to do and if you feel like being a child and grabbing a flag and waving it around you have freedom to wave a flag around, but you don't have to.
But one thing I found out it was just a short true thing.
when the Cavs won the I don't watch sports with a win.
Ask me about boxing. I'll tell you about that. They won the championship if you didn't like the Cabbage you were out there.
Where is excited when when they won? Finally, we got a victory cuz the browse ain't doing it.
someone like sports
But there was a rejoice in going on because of victory. About worship is dependent upon the victory that we have received and believe we receive from Jesus. We realize we have complete Victory complete Freedom complete Joy will get it and be joyful. We would walk in the finished work of Christ and I'll lasso reflected.
If you're not saved I'm doing it again cuz I got prompted if you're not saved if you don't have a relationship with Jesus if you never been born again. Okay. Rick the rejection of Jesus is hell.
Rejecting Jesus means you're going to hell not because God wants you to go there. It was your free choice and well. Because you still have your free will.
but if you choose him that means you give up your will for his
Chad died back in 2006. I overdosed on drugs and died. That what the hell? So it's a real place. I'm sorry.
I never demons all around me screaming for my body in the rip me apart. I wonder if this sounds like scripture where there are wailing and gnashing of teeth. that Jesus spoke about So it's not my heart that anyone would go there because I know.
I'm not saying it from a dude who just reads it. I understand. What's that or you were never created to go to hell, but if you choose not to receive Jesus you will go to hell.
So if you never ever ask God into your heart.
I want you to do that today.
Maybe you're like, I don't know because I looked I want embarrass myself. Does the kingdom Community we're going to do it together?
Jesus If you believe this repeat after me Jesus. I believe you can Son of God. I believe you died for me. arose again I give you my life. my will my desires What I asked for yours. ripping me by the Holy Spirit give me vision. Give me dreams and become real to me. Then my flash on my body.
Hey, man. Confession you might notice a shifting going on inside of you. I told little light little happier piece. You just got bored again. Do you want to know more about it? We love to talk with you here at Maple View. You can come talk to anyone about it cuz they're saved and they know how to talk about Jesus.
Restaurant with you Henry, come on.
Why do you want to get baptized? I want to just say for the Lord that I'm ready to dedicate my life to come on. I'm tired of living. How was come on, I mean I don't like to be the man that I was I mean, I've been through a lot and I see that large working in my life and I can be a better person. And you know, you can't do anything without the Lord. Come on. Thank you.
Andrew
why do you want to be baptized?
Living a life without the Holy Spirit powering us is like pushing a car down the road instead of putting gas in the tank. beautiful I just want to I believe that I'm born again. I'm saved and this is just an outward sign that people will see that I'm committing my life to the Lord. Come on.
Susan
Come on.
Is there anyone else that wants to join them?
I won't force it if you want to join them in baptism that I invite you up. Make an open declaration.
Andrew could you play some light music please?
No.
You know, the thing about being baptized is the only church understood it. That someone could have told you they were saved someone could have told you that they were born again, but it wasn't until they got baptized. That was the evidence. It showed for what happened on the inside. They didn't want to hide it. So hide and seek Christianity and playing peek-a-boo with other people is illegal with God.
Where you hide who you are, so people don't know. Christianity Basket Case Christianity
Winter High in their life and they put in the basket.
Where's Chris?
Do you want Chris to help baptize you? Chris and Marvin
I just want to give a little history why I'm up tie up here baptizing this young man. Can I give me the freedom to say whatever I want?
When they were telling me yesterday about this Henry, I thought they were talking about Henry Fisher because I said while he's he's like a not the brightest bulb in the kitchen. Come to front door Center.
He's really getting his life straightened out. I didn't had no idea. It was just Henry when his daddy died. He was in our church in the bishop appointed me. to be stepped in to be their daddy and give them some guidance and and them
so one day the teacher calls me. Ben says that Henry is not behaving himself.
Samsonite okay, so I picked them up took him down to my workshop to give him a spanking. Come to find out he had three pair of pants on and I think he said he had some newspapers or something stuff back and I noticed he didn't really cry that hard. But he said he pretended to cry. So right when he walks in the here today and they tell me that he's going to be baptized. I'm like, aw, man. I forgot to be the one to bury that old man. So we're going to keep them down. It might take a little while because we're going to keep them down until the bubbles stop. We're going to make sure you.
And let me encourage others before we baptize him. The Lord showed me something. Okay. And that is this there's so many people walking around Born Again Christians, but they'd never been baptized and they wonder why their Christian life stinks.
This is all physical but it's spiritual. What do we do in the physical when a body dies?
We bury it before it starts stinking.
Review then we bury it. Yes. So if you're here today you're born again. And you've never been properly baptized. God might be speaking to you. and another thing When the body is dead. What do we do do we immerse it in the dirt or you would just sprinkle a little dirt on it? I was sprinkled and I saw it wasn't the real deal. So I got baptized the real way immersed. We're not just going to sprinkle a little water on him. We're going to bury this dead man a man.
