Papa

acid whatever cuz of my mouth is going fine to you. That is impactful. That it touches people's hearts that you bring shift in lies and transformation. And you really Lord. We just want more of you. Your name Jesus? amen

We can talk in about momentum.

Why should we should we begin a series called momentum building it was it look like last week. We talked about. Paul and Silas in the prison and they had all these amazing things leading up to then getting thrown in jail. And they had some momentum behind they were seeing churches established miracles happen and then all of a sudden there came this ended up in prison and they don't worship God weather in prison, and I should last week. They weren't worshipping God for breakthrough.

A lot of times we worship God for what we can get from him we pray because what we can have from him, what was he can do for us, but I'm asking you if you have a love of God in your heart just for who he is.

The best place as Believers frosted beef is in a place where I'm here for you papa not for what you can do not for how you can make me feel worse if you are. When you enter into a place like that in your relationship with God you filled momentum, and I want to tell you the truth. You become Unstoppable.

The evil prison cell couldn't hold the early apostles. You know you changed them up people got saved in the prison. You kill them. You start a revolution.

This is because they loved God it's not because they were worried about their legacy. It wasn't that they were trying to build a big following it was simply because they love God for who he is and we have an opportunity to do the same thing here.

Meet my wife she heard me say this a lot. I said we are worried about a reputation good or bad. We are Idol makers.

You're a giver notice that the first thing that gets attacked in your life is how people view you. You can't worry about how people view You For Better or For Worse because the minute you jump on that Carousel you and you don't come off of it.

You're always trying to do things that people would like you better or like you less. Don't build that item guys. We were called to build the kingdom of God. I want to go into a little more detail about motives cuz we talked about Paul and Silas has motives was because of who God is.

So you have your Bibles I want you to turn to you Philippians 2:1 through 4 and Paul's addressing the church in this letter.

And he's talking to the Philippians church because he wants to know understand that he wanted to keep the unity was so cool that you shared about the unity that that that you saw and the with the paddles God wants us to keep Unity, but let me tell you what stops the unity. And this is where it starts.

Look at how much encouragement you found in your relationship with the anointed one. You are filled to overflowing with his comforting love. You have experienced a deepening friendship with the Holy Spirit and have felt the tender affections and mercy Fleming Falls right there you guys no Holy Ghost wants to be your friend.

Don't say that. We look at Holy Spirit like this this energy but he's a person and he wants to be your friend.

No, I don't know what church is some of your back Ozark, but do you know it's okay to talk to the Holy Ghost? It's okay to wake up and say good morning Holy Spirit. You know, there's times that I'm driving by myself in my car, and I'm imagining Jesus sitting next to me. Dino to someone like driving by if I look weird because I'm laughing. I'm having a conversation with god in the car with me. And I've seen him next to me.

We might see each other some foolishness little bit like imaginary friends. I'm going to tell you something. God is very real.

He's very real he has a personality and I want to tell you she always believes the best for you.

I don't know if he needs to hear this but I felt strong in my spirit that God wants you to know he does he think the best about you. He doesn't think the worst about you even on your worst day. He still sees and thinks the best about you.

Okay, what you did yesterday today is a new day. Today's another opportunity to walk in Freedom and fellowship with him. Let's pick back up. Some asking you my friends that you be joined together in perfect Unity with one heart one passion and United in one love well together with one her money is perfect and you will fill my heart with Unbound Joy. Free from Pride filled opinions for they will only harm your cherish unity little owl self-promotion to hide in your hearts, but I'll fit humility put others first and view others as more important than yourself. abandon every display of selfishness Possession possession of Greater concern for what matters to others instead of your own interest?

What is ambition? Give your sermon notes first question should be what is it? What is it?

The scripture says put others above yourself look out for their interest.

You know. In recent months I just realized with my wife how very selfish I am.

yorgos a test order pizza Do you know how they always bring it out? And it's never cut right is always that one big piece in there. You guys all I'm talking about.

Know where this is going.

Do you read for the big piece first?

Or do you allow someone else to have it?

Tell me if he's going to try to leave my wife the big piece. She tells me to eat it.

But I always let her tell me to eat it either.

That's just a simple thing right there that were like me first. It's an ambition there to what is ambition. Let me share this with you. A strong desire to do or achieve something typically require determination and hard work.

Ambition is not bad.

God has given each one of us and ambition to do something great and profound and our lives whether it's important to the Next Generation or making an impact in the generation. You're in God has given you a desire for growth expansion and Authority.

That's Kingdom Edition.

Let me bring further Clarity here. God Made You In His Image? And then he remade you in his likeness if you're born again.

Add did not need to create human beings, but he wanted to he wanted growth. Do you want a relationship? He wanted expansion he wanted. a greater expression of love and physical form

God is a king with an ever-expanding Kingdom. God is Not complacent.

He's a conqueror. He looks for new heights. For a second. God looking for new heights

looking for how you can bring people hire to where he's at closer to where he is and Intimacy in a relationship.

god holds all authority

the sovereign omnipotent

you are created in His image.

You were created for something big. You are great for something that's going to bring excitement to other people.

You weren't created. for the bottom God created you to sit right with him at the top. I don't know about that. I'll Bible says be seated with Christ. And what place is?

Does right now we're a little lower than the Angels but after we go to the glory guess what? A my Bible tells me that as Jesus is so am I in this? world

at the mall for dinner

Kingdom ambition is Passion zealousness fervency about God. It is always from a place of relationship. It is never from a place of what I can get out of the deal. It's always from a place of relationship. I'm reminded of David. Books that the Philistine giant his first thing wasn't what can I get if I kill this? Christine wasn't how can I bring importance to me? That wasn't Davis Hart motive. The first thing he says is who is this uncircumcised Philistine? Who defies God's Army?

I could be excited your hold your bow. Wow, you're reading it.

Put your things in 3D right now.

David Harrington vision for God he was jealous for the things of God. Do you know the Bible says so is Jesus

So Jesus, you know, he goes to this Temple. He sees these guys selling things and charging people higher price and everything. And what does he do? He goes out. Jesus gets ticked off makes this nice little cord that you braid it together. I'm going to imagine Godfrey to know him.

And that's what he did in the Bible says the Zeal for your house has overtaken me. Sometimes we're so scared to get a little zealous about God. We're scared of what people may think how they will react. So we just leave the tables alone. We leave everything alone and we don't disrupt anything. The kingdom of God is here to disrupt. The way the world thinks the way the world acts the way the world functions. It's not here to play nice. Why did we think we being Christians? We got to sit around and play patty-cake. Baker's man. Bake me a cake.

Girls that looking for you to play nice he's looking for you to play righteous.

Just see if your Bill and Ted and Excellent Adventure.

Who got to looking for?

Let's go on.

But what is this thing? What happens to ambition when ambition is perverted what happens to it? God's given us some Bishop book. Why do we see the vision that people more? Like I don't want to be like that.

history here But if you have bitter jealousy Envy contention ravioli selfish ambition in your hearts do not pride yourself on it and Busby in defiance of the fall in falls to the truth. This superficial wisdom is not such as comes down from above but it's Earthly and spiritual animal even devilish demoniacal. Whoever there is jealousy Envy in contention rivalry and selfish ambition. There will also be confusion unrest disharmony rebellion and all sorts of evil vile practices.

selfish ambition

some of you was like wow if I click the news on kind of looks like world today.

Look at that Indian scripture.

There will also be confusion. unrest disharmony rebellion and all sorts of evil and vile practices

selfish ambition will drive you to run over people. To get where you want to go.

Let's take a look at some one. Who knows about that.

Holy the volumes up there.

We click on it again.

awkward silence

Go back, and I'll try it again.

And if it doesn't play I'll tell you what it is. But it's about you guys familiar with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Well, there's a scene where they're going in to this place and they're seeing all these goose lay golden eggs and it would fall on a AR platform. That was either sell you if it was a good egg or bad as well that little girl over there. She goes into there and she's like Daddy. I want a Golden Goose right now Daddy I want this right now. He said no later. So she goes on to a song about I want it now. I want it my way me me me. I don't want to share with anyone else. It's all about me what she ends up sitting standing on top of the platform and it says Daddy and she drops all the way down. North Atmos lover real good cuz he jumps on it too and it says bad egg falls right with her.

selfish ambition is always about I do what I want no matter who it hurts. No matter who it hurts. What bothers? It's always I want no matter how I can get it.

Do your moral out the window? I want it my way.

You ever go to a restaurant and you order food? They bring it out to you. And it's not the way it was supposed to be. I don't want the IHOPs in my wife knows when I go to IHOP. I get the same thing all the time.

cinnastack pancakes Has it nice cream cheese. I'm trying to make you hungry. It's kind of sugary has cinnamon on it. I'm talking about. I went to IHOP. You know what I'm getting. And they stop selling it.

What you mean you quit selling it, we're sitting down the witches all smiling at me. I'm like are you trying to go? I'm upset. I'm mad. You got rid of the best thing on the menu. How dare you?

Writing a letter to the company. Why won't my pancakes my way? You know, I'm not against it, but please don't put peanut butter on my pancakes.

If you like peanut butter and bananas in your pancakes, this isn't against you. out of my mind Yes.

How many people know that it's easy to throw a fit when you don't get things your way? It's easy to go. I'm mad. I'm angry. This isn't going my way you're ready to get a hold of Seth huffing and puffing.

And you throw a fit? Don't know. I didn't throw Sydney off. I got the steak and eggs. Also quite good delicacy as well. But when things don't go our way and things don't go the way we want them to do. We throw a fit. That's selfish ambition. That's how you know, there's something here that isn't aligned with God.

Why did you do the things you do?

You trying to make a name for yourself? That's selfish and Bishop

I'm not telling you not to do right things and people people will see that on you in the black hair. That's the right guy. Hey, that guy was really cool. She's sincere sweetheart everything else. He'll see that but why did you do it? Why do you do things is it for the glory of God or the glory of you and it's real people can Pat you on the back and say nice job. Is it true that people can tell you can scan compliment you or are you doing it? Because this is who I am. I was made for this.

It's not about having it my way someone having it the way God wants it. Do you know why we most of us do what we want when we do for this reason right here control and comfortability.

Selfish ambition the heart motive is rooted in control to keep things comfortable for you.

Doesn't Matter What God Says doesn't matter it has to be comfortable for me it has to be my way

We see that a lot. And our culture or Society even our churches.

Talking with a older gentleman this week and we were here used to be a pastor and stuff and we shared hearts and stuff and and it was cool cuz he's like, you know.

If you look at marriage is Mary just required a word. One word that's required in a marriage commitment.

I'm committed. The weather if things go my way or not. I'm committed and it's always been committed to a person.

Will you tell me when the commitment our marriage has fell apart and Society it also fell apart in the churches?

Uncommitted people cuz we grew up cuz I'm telling you the truth the way the family goes to church goes.

Is it at the station? He said there's more divorces and the church. I don't wonder why the church is falling apart. There's no commitments.

Because selfish ambition is raining. We need things our way. So we're comfortable.

So, you know, I don't share the street with you guys about me going to the gym and my wife wanted to do something else. Listen to this right. My wife. She knows I do. I keep my gym bag ready. I didn't take my pre-workout. Thank God. But I got my gym bag reading on my speakers on everything. I'm going to go pump some weight cuz I don't know what you for me. Poking Waits release. It's therapy for me. I enjoy it. What's the time when I'm there talking to people talking to God and then I'm really good and Eminem. So I'm ready to go out the door my wife site, honey.

But don't let it be a list the letter b song that goes I got my shoes on. I'm going out the door. Yes, dear Do you want to do this with me? I looked at her as like shoe women

do this right now and in my mind, I'm having this conversation with her that she doesn't know about.

what is man I got a moron and you're going to enemies I'm sitting here having this conversation in my head that she doesn't know about but you know, I told you there's a person called Holy Ghost is my friend. The cool thing about him is he likes to interrupt?

What I was thinking and what I want to do sometimes and it's always for the best. I just wish you wouldn't I'll never leave or forsake you because it was you walk away.

He's committed to us. Even when you're not committed to yourself he's committed to you. So I'm sitting there and I'm like he's like if you always do What you always done? You always get what you always got. You want something new you got to do something. You never done?

And you like and I'm like you like yeah you remember you said that a lot of my car? You remind me of my word. I remind you of your words. beautiful friendship with Holy Spirit admittedly I was like Okay. So then I responded I didn't react cuz the reaction was the thoughts going through my head of my way my way my way me and Mimi I said honey. Sure I'll do that. Then. We sat down together had a beautiful time was rich. She felt valued I felt valued. I would have missed it. selfishness

cuz I want to be in control of what makes me comfortable.

Ambition comes from the Lord but selfish ambition does not.

There's only one remedy for selfish ambition. You can't self-help it away because eventually you'll get tired. You retire and tell you like I am doing good in front of people and really inside your life, but I didn't need self-help. I did not need my help me cuz it would have ended.

Truman Lake

what's in your coffee?

I need a God help.

There's only one thing to do and it's simple it's this submission to God.

You cannot control you.

Some people getting so down on my potty. But then the Regal goes out of whack.

I can't master nothing. I mean everything in front of me. It's like I can't control my mouth. Or you'll be good at putting a muzzle on and then when people aren't around.

The only thing to do is to submit to God and means come under the mission with God. I want to tell you something the greatest Freedom that we were created to experience with God. It's self-governance.

Who said this one again? The greatest Freedom that we were meant to experience and have with God is self-governance.

You are meant to have laws ruiyu.

Man, I was never meant to be ruled by laws.

You were not meant to be ruled by laws. You were meant to be ruled by other people.

Listen to open the can.

when God made man, the only government that man had with God

And the only government that he wanted was alignment with God.

So when our lives we have rules over us that we're submitting to and we were really only meant to submit to God.

Why could David stay where he was at dealing with saw?

It was submitted to God. Call someone like my boss if he did this again...... That's when you know you're singing baby shark.

So you got a boss and you don't like the dude or the lady cuz ladies have positions of authority. And God kingdom is well.

And you don't want to submit. So you start acting the night? I'm telling it like it is. What is you would see that really you're in this place to submit to God, then you would become a servant to man.

What is that what Jesus did? for the son of man didn't come to be served but to He was only doing what he saw the father. He was submitted to the father. He said he didn't commit himself the man cuz he knew what was in all men. And that's why we say all men.

We are called to walk. Do you love you say self-control but better self-governance? God wants to give you the ability to govern yourself in alignment with him. Do you have ambition for the kingdom you will bring it under alignment with God?

You won't try to force yourself into a place. You won't try to have it your way. If it doesn't go by when I'm gone. It's all about him. It's all about more. What are you you put me here? What do you want me to do?

How can I help selfish ambition will get you into a lot of trouble.

The next thing you know, you don't like me. They don't like me like me.

story time

a real conversations you like

must be your what?

It's not that bad. It's are you submitted to God because let me tell you when you are God opens doors for you. I ordered it sounds like a scripture that system. It says. Submit yourself under the mighty hand of God and he will lift you up and do season.

But you know what got him working this job. I don't like that guy shark.

Come on, man. It's real. What about in marriage?

But Lord if she wouldn't... He's always.

This is the season of alignment.

It's called getting in a line with the kingdom of God the agenda of God.

It's not about you. It's about what God wants to do.

And when you are focused on what God wants to do, it's so cool when he starts focusing on you. That's Richard by the way. If you deny me before men, I'll deny you before my father if you talk about me before man, guess what got Jesus is doing about you Call me. When did be fun to give God so much to talk about.

Talk about me.

No, it's not. My daddy loves me. My Daddy loves you. It's all about coming into alignment with him.

Then we are aligned with him. He then can give us more Authority on the Earth.

Some people chasing after Ministry, but they come alive with him then guess what happens to the ministry?

explodes some people chasing after money, but if they come align with him, guess what I've been through the pockets, so

What are you chasing after? What is your passion? What are you passionate about? What are you pursuing?

when we pursue God for who he is. And because we just love them because he loves us.

I will tell you the doors will open for you and your life because you're not focus on Doors. You're not focused on trying to expand your network. Do not focus on try to expand your network. You're not focused on trying to make a name for yourself.

Don't focus on trying to gain the attention in the room. When you are focused on God. God will unleash glory on you.

You're really like play nice with people so they play nice back. But I'm sure my little toy, you know, I'm going to be a little kid and I was true story man. I was in the second or third grade. My mom bought me an action figure, right? camera, he was a Power Ranger or Terminator all I know it was like a robot looking take

and this until I'm sure my Toya Wright. And so I'm thinking okay. I'm sure my toy with this dude. So now it's my turn to play with his toy.

Come on, you share it with others other shares with you. Call Mike you let me know I'll let you play with my toy. No Psych. Big breaks my toy.

I was I was I was horrible.

But it's not the way it is. If I play nice with others other should play nice with me is that is not how we are. I'm sharing with you so you can share with. Because really it's not about you. It's about Welcome to deception.

This is what God is doing with his church right now. Keith time he's cutting tying Loose Ends.

She doesn't want us to be in it for us. He'll take care of us. Trust me. He does does a better job at it, too. Let somebody take Jesus if we have a mansion. I have a couple other things I'm glad theme music when I get there and I know it. Yeah, I do have I'm going to be like Jesus. I want see music, you know either what do you want? I don't know. I'm still in the terms between doing.

toss-up between that God and then Batman

so what I'm saying is

are you do things from a place of pure heart? I'm having a pure heart. You're not in it for you. You're not trying to get something from someone else. This is just simply who you are. You can't even not be this evening if you were having a bad day. This is who you are. I'm not in it for my comfortability a minute for God's glory.

You know, I could not do got wants me to do if it wasn't because of him.

This is not storytime. This is vulnerability moment ready. So I'm out here in the country area. big black dude

Sometimes it's uncomfortable if I can be real. because I'm thinking about it cuz I don't like cuz of some of the looking like oh, yeah, that's right.

It's like a little like a okay. Cool, man. No biggie. How long did he make sure to? Picture of Confederate flag know me I flashed you come to Jesus.

Just because it's uncomfortable doesn't mean that's not what God's calling you to.

Not that I'm just saying.

You know, it's uncomfortable. Sometimes when your wife asked you to hold the purse.

Play hold my purse, okay?

you just walking with it people like

giving you looks only matches my eyes.

But sometimes God's calling you into the uncomfortable because only when you're uncomfortable and submit it to him you lose self ambition in vainglory.

Twerk It squeezes out of you It's where we're now all you have to offer sweetness. Do you have to offer his goodness and kindness?

Pastor I had people say good things about me and people say negative things about me. Sometimes it feels like negative things are up here. I'm so blessed.

But if it's about what people say about me. It is because it's still about me.

isn't that the only thing to do in that situation is say Jesus help me. I don't want to be like that and God will let you go through cycles and Cycles until he completely clean the stains. So it's never about you. And it's always about him.

And that's uncomfortable.

So much fun. Can you get ahold of his truth? Kiss truth sets you free. And it sets you free from yourself. You can love people for who they are. Don't forget what they give you. Tougher how they act towards you. But simply because they were made in the image of God and there is no one on earth like you. And I want to love you. just because I can

tell my wife sometimes.

I love you anyways.

First time I said that the reaction was not good.

What is a stinker? So honey, I love you. Anyway, she's like silence anyways anyways I said I mean through thick and thin no matter what. I love you. That's for God's calling his church to be with people.

It's not easy. But that's what he's called us to do. It becomes easy when we fall in love with him.

When we're not in love with him.

white people were in love with God we can love people. And it's one of the funnest things to do. Welcome to Ministry.
