Transforming Love 3
would you say our fears but there's one important one that's like common among all people is the projection that we have to look at and understand word originated from where did rejection first originate from?
It originated back in the garden.
It originated after Adams. Send. And the first person to be rejected. Do you guys remember who that was?
How many people think it's God?
How many people think it's cheese?
So man. Is in the garden in his wife has just ate from the tree. She got the seed for Adam was not deceived Adam fell willingly.
Then they hear these footsteps coming in the garden.
And they go and run they hide.
And God's calling out Adam. Where are you? Adam where are you in Adams? Like it's your eye and why are you hiding because I was naked.
Then God asked Adam a question. You said did you eat from the tree? I told you not to eat from that. I commanded the day you eat you will surely die. Adam responds and says I did but it was the woman you gave me.
Who was the first one rejected?
Somewhere down the line. We learned how to reject people. We inherited this day And even to the point where we reject ourselves, let me tell you. Why was Adam hiding?
cuz it said, yeah, but why there's a reason why he was afraid he said he hit because he was
So the first rejection comes to self.
Come on, man. Think about this with me. They walked in the garden like in their birthday suit everyday. No shame. They eat from a tree. And all the sudden shames introduced and what's the first thing they do they cover themselves with leaves.
First Love what rejection is self rejection?
We sell projection their shame.
There's guilt there's there's there's this thing that says I'm not good enough and and I need to hide.
Have you ever been there in your life?
We understand that only love can conquer rejection. Only love can conquer fear. We learned about many types of Love there were several. But the main ones that we're going to focus on that we see clear in the Bible is a Gothic storge Valuta and fill up with this friendship. And these are in the Bible and God's love is without conditions.
Did you ever struggle with receiving love from God? Being loved by him experience in his love. I promise you most of the time we struggle with the love of God. It's because we have these preconceived condition and expectations we put on ourselves.
Do you know God doesn't have any conditions for you? Jet while you were sinners Christ died for you.
So there's no conditions with his love.
Did you guys know that?
But then you meet people and people have these expectations.
And then we learned to work out waiting to a place of conditioning and fulfilling expectations and some of us have unmet expectations.
And that's a rejection comes in a
do you have your Bibles and what you determine the Genesis chapter 4?
This is actor Even Adam get kicked out of the garden and you know, they got kicked out. Because Scott was a meanie. He said I don't want them to be eternally damned and this state so he put an angel a cherubim with a flaming sword and front of the garden to keep them away from the Tree of Life. Less. They live eternally Damned.
I don't know about you growing up. When I heard the story of Adam and Eve, you know, all I got was a pieces like they screwed up got kicked them out. You know, it's like that time where you didn't listen to your parents to take your 18 get out of here, but that wasn't how God was he said I want to protect you. So I have to kick you out of the garden. The story picks up with Adam and Eve outside of the garden. And it says it's Adam slept with Eve his wife she can see and it had came. She said I've gotten a man with God's help then she had another baby Abel. Abel was a herdsman and Cain a farmer. Time passed cambrin offering to God from the produce of his farm. Abel also brought an offering but from the firstborn animals of his herd Choice cuts of meat God like table and his offering But God, but Cain and his offering didn't get approval came lost his temper and went to song Gospel of the king why this Contra why the sulking if you do well won't you be accepted and if you do not if you don't do well then is lying in wait for you ready to pounce. It's out to get you you got to master it.
If you guys ever wonder why I got rejected Cain's offering.
Why?
Why did God reject Cain's offering?
Anyone has an answer.
Would you say I like that no blood? I think got the carnivore.
Oh. That's a scripture in the body.
So you got chains, right? Who's a farmer and you know, if anyone knows about farming that I know here, it's probably Nick.
And bath thank you. They can both last week. They were Mary and Joseph. To Nikki Bella's hard-working that got to get up early. You don't like that. When did you walking hours? Yeah, when you're trying to get it growing and two can put some work in man, right? Can you put some work and effort into this thing?
And he gets his hard work from the from sweating and everything of his brow and he brings his offering to God just to have God rejected.
How many of you would have been offended?
Play who tells your highness. But you know, you tried your best you did everything you possibly could and your effort and strength and God says. rejected
Wow.
Filling the pages of Genesis it gets heavy quick.
2k's rejected but Abel's accepted and you already said the scripture because there's no shedding of blood who killed the first animal.
Why did God kill the first animal?
IQ ever said to cover Adam to make clothes right because without the shedding of blood and makes clothing I said it, you know, he got hit the first fashion design. It was called wool.
Anytime I think about clothing for them. I always think alike Flintstones, you know, like Fred and Wilma you got to close and yet he says he says I don't want you to close yourself and your effort because their effort was the Fig leaves their efforts was full of Shame who God says, I'm a take the thing that you're shame of and I'm going to cover it. I'm going to do the effort and cover your said because my love is without condition and even be throwing you out of the garden is with love. So you don't live eternally damned. So it's got to the first animal for them. Who invented this whole thing of offering?
Who did it?
So someone had to do a cup come on institutionalized the bringing of offering.
Where did it come from?
It was before Leviticus.
Is the Adam and Eve right? Why did they want to bring an offering to God?
Leviticus is where it was a stylus to a nation, but it was Abraham did it. We got him was cutting Covenant Abraham right in his dad. They made Idols, you know, what they did with their Idols they sacrificed children.
That was like the Customs back then. Who was the person to institutionalize this thing called offering because Cain brought his and it was not accepted.
So let's look at the scripture God kills the first animal covers them without this Bloodshed. There's no forgiveness of sins to God covers their sins. And so evidently God State talking with them.
And God taught them about offering.
Because God's always trying to cover our shame cover our guilt. He's always trying to show you a way to him and not away from him. So God and God gave them the idea of offering.
But Jane said I'm going to do it my way and he brought veggies.
Are you guys following a trend here? So what you got the carnivore?
To my sister's vegan. So I joke with her all the time. I said the only time got ever mentioned vegetables is when he said let us make man in our image.
After that moment, it was all me.
But you're right so mad the Adam and Eve take plants cover themselves and God like that's not going to do it.
What's pick up in Genesis 48 through 16?
Cain had words with his brother they were out in the field came came at a table his brother and killed him. Where is Abel your brother? How should I know am I his babysitter?
Got it. What have you done the voice of your brother's blood is calling to me from the ground.
Do you have the King James says it says the blood of Abel is crying out.
Did you know your blood has a voice?
God told the Israelites you cannot eat. Listen, I'm sorry for them, but I know me but I make steak. I like a little red in there. You know, I'm saying little buzz on there. It's cool with me man. I'm not going to play in a one-man thing.
You know what? I sear them both sides my wife. She don't like you like that with me. Oh, yeah.
Israel was commanded that they're not allowed to eat. Take like that. Everything had to be thoroughly cooked for them because God said you're not allowed to eat things with blood in it. Get the totally cook that thing through because in Scripture it says blood there's life in the blood.
The reason why God said the animal to cover.
So he would see life and not death. To the blood of Abel is cry it out from the grave saying saying he's crying out saying dude. God would happen my life cut short what's going on here?
2 gallons of in the person Cain it picks up and says from now on you'll get nothing but curses from the ground you'll be driven from this ground that is opened. Its arms to receive the blood of your murdered brother. Joe farm this ground, but it will no longer give you its best. You'll be homeless a homeless Wanderer on the Earth.
Wow things that the God my punishment is too much. I can't take it. You throw me? Off the land and I can never again face you I'm a homeless Wanderer on the earth and liver Finds Me will kill me. God told him know anyone who kills Cain will pay for it seven times over God put a mark on Cain to protect him so that no one. No one who met him would kill him. Do you guys see that's God's mercy still like you just murdered his brother In Cold Blood. And God still gives Mercy to him.
Cain left the presence of God and live in no man's land East of Eden.
I know we're like in Genesis and you guys are part of remember this story from when you were a child is like the first story that you learn right? You learn about Adam and Eve in the next 45. The next one is Noah. They really focus on the first murderer in the Bible. Party. Take the good topic to talk about but it happened. So you think you had this functions in your family?
Let me tell you about Adam and Eve. So Cain, he gets jealous of his brother. Why because you didn't bring me all free the way God required it. I don't know why you did that could have been self effort performance driven. You're finding your life when you're trying to get the God. You must rip all this effort and he seems even farther away.
Like even in worship. Do you ever find yourself kind of get into the right mindset?
So you can worship or do you just go and start worshipping?
Like it's really weird that we try to muster Faith off instead of having faith of a mustard seed and planting it. We got to know about you. I've been through crisis of my life. And I remember what I started my crisis moment. I you know, you start quoting scripture that stuff you start who high and yelling and screaming, you know, cuz you trying to mustard something up in your effort It always feels short and always fall short.
Could it be that it able to God I'm going to give you my best shot of my heart.
My Gables job was just to hurt the Sheep. Whatever they had. So he had to make sure they were fed and watered and Hayden good places. That's it, but they grew on their own.
Train get to do similar things Denis. Be at work with his hands at the toilet ground. They had to really get this vegetation stuff, They didn't have things that we have nowadays.
But God rejected came offering. So I got a question again for you guys was Cain rejected a will or was what he did rejected.
What was rejected? the grapes I like grapes. Do you know what messes me up with grapes and people make grape flavor and grapes. They don't taste like grapes they never do.
It's like purple it's that's what he should be called the flavor purple.
What was rejected come on team brought his offering was King rejected or wasn't his actions.
You read that man. Chained wasn't rejected man. What are you did was rejected?
What happened?
His actions were rejected and he turned it. He turned his taxes being rejected into personal rejection.
Come on. Yeah, you took it personal on my gosh. I didn't receive my offering. He hates me. He hates me. He likes him better than me. comparison came in I mean, seriously, I would not compare apples to a nice steak. There's no comparison there 1 second.
I hear you there. But if you're a farmer and you work hard and you have to be up with those vegetations, you have to make sure they're good vegetation. It didn't say gave him the messed-up version either.
It just simply says Cain gave God. his veggies
This is Abel gave God. So mistaken the first of his it does say that.
But I'm focusing on why did Kane take you personal?
He took it personal man. We got didn't receive what he had to give he took it. So personally caused him to murder his brother.
Yeah. And your life have you ever got your actions rejected and then you internalised it to self rejection.
Good. Your average is pretty low. Keep it.
Because that's what Katie did. His actions were rejected. He internalized did he made it personal? It turned into jealousy and turned into a worse action when you take things. Being personal it will always lead to a worse sir action in your life.
Jack a worse action
But you take it personal. And then King partner with murder.
You know if I was to go to rejected right I was so you know, I know what I'm going to do this time. If I got you covered buddy. I want your best lamb and I'm going to feed that thing my best crop.
And I'm going to take this the guy and see what he going to do.
That's why I would have did why you don't like veggies? I'll feed it to the thing that I'm going to sacrifice to you. And I wonder if that's called a double blessing.
Because case that only given he's given far bus. But instead he personalized a rejection.
Sometimes your actions will be rejected.
You're not rejected by God, but sometimes your actions are.
Who's the actress that is rejected by God that's called sin.
Have you will tell me this a lot, dude if you stand in your Center? You heard that?
If you if you said you're a sinner.
I'm like, well, I'm not a sinner. Do you send them like do do course I make mistakes not on purpose. I said not on purpose not to get away with it not say that I woke up the sin. But that's really weird. If you're a Christian and you wake up the city and get away with it. You need to reevaluate your relationship with God.
I'm just saying. So I was like no. I'm a son. He's like you can't call yourself a son. That's a yes. I can. Jesus calls me that he calls me brother. Is it why you can't call yourself? A Son of God I said, yes. I can I am a child of God. It so the argument went on for a while. And I was like, I'm not trying to argue dude. I got scripture. I want to show you but it turned into an argument of nice and being upset because I said I'm not a sinner.
Do you find yourself agreeing more and identifying yourself out of your negative actions?
Will give you this one stupid man, and you just let that thing you do on you all day. And then you defined yourself through the stupid thing. You did. My wife does to me sometimes not often.
We're in a blossomy marriage. We are and I'm pretty sure I did that too.
But you do something and you define Yourself by the thing you did wrong instead of who has made you right?
See when your actions are rejected. I want you to know that you're not rejected though. You ain't I don't I don't know if I can agree with that. I didn't ask what you emotionally agreed with. I'm asking you to agree with scripture. like if you ever looked at John 6 + 37
6 + 37
Listen to Jesus. He's like all whom my father gives entrust to me will come to me and the one who comes to me. I will most certainly not cast off. I will never no never reject one of them who comes to.
whoa
Like this is Jesus talkin man. He's like I'm never going to reject anyone who comes to me.
but serious in the King James is out never cast them out. I'll never turn them away.
Jesus said that I will receive all who come to me.
Forget your actions may be rejected at time, but you will never be rejected by Jesus. You may say will tap. There's a scripture that says these people did all these cool things in Jesus's name like they cast out devils. Big bad many many homeless people and he did all these good works. A Jesus won't respond on that day and said don't know you.
So what do you mean you'll never reject?
Didn't they do the same thing that I guess they did? Thank you. They did the exact same thing came dead. They brought their effort and they thought their effort would make a relationship when God wants the relationship and out of that Wilbur things naturally. Abel had a relationship with God. That's why you gave him the first
What would make a person want to give God their vest? Some people do it because they're in performance. They're trying to perform to gain acceptance.
But it wasn't. This is just who he was.
You guys have been convicted by Holy Ghost.
Hi, are you connected?
Man, it's a good thing to get convicted. Like it's not negative. It's really good. It makes you whole like like I'm going to say something when you get convicted by God, it's always full of grace and truth and it's always laced with Mercy. It's never like you're an idiot. You're dumb. You're never going to achieve. It's always like son or daughter. Think on this like we got talked to Kane. He was convicting Kane. He says do listen man. If you do well, well, it'd be good to you and that thing send right now what you been having a tantrum over your mad. It's trying to rule you and I don't want you to rule over that God's like no pity parties and no temper tantrums. Turn it to a three year old.
But we can convicted of wrong with if we do if we if we allow shame and guilt and condemnation. It will try to make you a prisoner of a cage call personal rejection. You'll start thinking God rejects you.
And he does not just any doesn't accept you and you reject you because of your action. Listen, God reject her actions.
Are you guys okay with not rejecting some of your actions?
Show me really not okay with that.
You ever had your child try to cook you breakfast.
Maybe like a seven-year-old. You know, I'm going to wake up make you breakfast in bed. Okay, I remember doing this for my parents. Right and I be in the kitchen slaving away making food, you know put my hard work and effort into it. You know, I don't know what I'm mixing together and looks good. I don't know what it is though and you end up mixing oatmeal with the grits. And yeah, I added pancake mix to it and you made them beautiful breakfast that you created for them. And you go and you take it you got a smile on your face. I read you guys breakfast in the toast is always burnt, you know.
Show me burnt like it's still edible. I mean like this thing is burnt. bring it to Mom and Dad dress like
If I would have taken their likes, what's this? I don't know. It's just that I found.
Is it edible? Kmart in fridge
if you're trying to be nice. You know you want to take a bite of it cuz you don't want to hurt your feelings. You don't want your children to feel rejected. Give me something that you're rejecting, but you're actually rejecting what they made you. And then when they leave you spit everything out of your mouth.
Oh my gosh. How much are married and we do that?
Don't raise your hand. It's your foot pedal hand down.
Because where we are people who are afraid to be honest and when we feel rejected, so when we do stuff for God and he doesn't receive it, we take it personal like he doesn't receive on.
When it does come down to your heart's attitude.
Your attitude will make your latitude.
That's my hoo-ha quote of the day.
You have to identify yourself not from your actions, but the find yourself through Jesus's actions.
Able you can table was bringing a sacrifice based on God's actions in the past.
He wasn't Reinventing the wheel with vegetables.
He literally would take a lamb and bring it to God the same thing God use to cover his parents.
Abel had a mindset. This is I'm going to find myself in a line myself through the actions that God has already demonstrated.
Dude, I wonder if this is a foreshadow of the church.
That we're supposed to find ourselves. Not try to remake the wheel and then make another way into heaven, but the door that Jesus says and walk through that place that gate and enter in.
Because we're going to find ourselves to Jesus's actions. We have freedom. We always tend to try to look for affirmation from physical actions. You don't want to be Affirmed. But we should more importantly be seeking verification from the spirit instead of affirmation from The Flash.
Let me explain this real quick. I formation is that you're seeking someone to say there. Oh boy. Good job. So you feel that you feel good about you.
Human being in school when you were allowed to go to school.
And the teacher would gives you a test and certain children would get stickers and smiley faces on their test. If you weren't that type of student, maybe you got B's and C's.
more adsv honest I always liked a d. Always been after death.
But maybe you didn't measure up. Maybe they gave you the F and with a
play when I was just showing off their stickers. And you felt you took it personal? You did didn't you? It hurt it made you feel lesser than the other children made you feel dumb. Unwanted I think you were a shame cuz your friends while we ask what did you get and you really leave me alone? Come on, I want to show you not show me but get my sticker. Yeah, let me take that sticker off your paper.
See we look for affirmation cuz we're taught to speak after physical affirmation. Even when were young children learn to walk and we wash her hands.
But we seek after affirmation because we were brought up in a world that says you need to be a furnace affirmation wrong. No, but it when it becomes the driving factor of our life, it becomes wrong do things to fit in and not be rejected for the affirmation of friends and will wear masks and will get into apocracy just to be Affirmed.
But I don't know about you man. But when I was younger, I did some stupid things.
But I just had to be reminded of some of the stupid things. I did like this one time. We were this back of my Wild Wild West days, okay. We're chasing a guy on a car right so I hop on the hood of the car.
And it is going 30 miles an hour.
But I'm not wearing a seatbelt because I'm on top of the hood of the car.
So guess what happened? the car man Do you know what I didn't that moment after I threw off the card I left the ground. But let me tell you there's a couple chicks in the car.
Dude, I flew off the car man.
coupled enrolled
I jump back up. And I think I'll bring that through the guy.
Why? Could we look like a punk in the car? Why?
I'm looking for information. I want people really realize I'm over there.
Saturday when I left
Mama messed up right now. I was messed up.
So we do things like that to get some people can affirm some warped idea of who we think we are.
I want we really should be looking for verification in the spirit. Verification is simply like God identifying you God saying it's the process of making what he said truth the truth of who you are at your core who God has created you to be verified in that, you know how you get verified in that because he put his spirit in you you've been sealed.
According to scripture you've been sealed by the spirit and it says if your silky it is be guaranteed. It's the guarantee if you have the Holy Ghost and Heritage.
Do you have the access card?
according to scripture
He said he was like the down payment. That would bring you into full under ship. of the house that you bought
Because you are the home that God purchase and he choose to live in. And the down payment is the Holy Spirit and he will do the work within you. Innocence make your mortgage payments.
But when you look at it like that, it's a really good deal. Play God is making a mortgage payment on me. Every month he does every day is mercies new.
To take you into a rifled stylish meet with him. So we must look for Spiritual verification. Yes, the community the church WIll affirm you. But you can't live by men's affirmation. You must live by God's verification. You can't live by people saying that a boy because what happens when you wake up in a bad mood one day.
She got was talking with Kane. He's like Kane dude sends waiting for you, but I can't get an all this cool stuff from God. I need a stop to murder and got to talkin to like that. But I want you to. Fight and I want you to be accepted. I want what you do to be accepted you already are and I want that to be accepted to listen, man. You see what I did. Sacrifice to don't go and get a lamb or something bring it to me. I'll receive it. I want to bless your hands more.
That's what I got was talking to Cain man. But Cain was so personally rejected. He identify himself through what he was doing and when he did that it brought murder. And the killing the families killing of his brother the breaking of his parents Hart. Let me tell you something as I close up. Areas in your life where you are looking for acceptance based on what you're doing. If you do not get ahold of That Thing Up by Juvenile over to Jesus you will it will produced in you a worse action.
Two or maybe because you're not getting affirmed in that area. You become mad at other people who excel in that area. Which leads to bitterness and jealousy?
You know, what's a sure sign of someone who's bitter and jealous of her somewhere. This is funny. Like I just mentioned this person's name and people have adverse reactions all across the room. I'm not going to say Jesus that does bring adverse reaction. But if I say Joel Osteen.
Tumblr I like him so he like I don't like them.
I think someone like that and I'm not here to say he's right or wrong. I'm just saying showing something. What is the main thing that you focus on about him?
Dude, that dude that has a smile. I need to know his dentist. Does have a good tomorrow? I can't be mad at you smile.
When there's people in your life that you are looking at and triggered by you need to look at where you're rejecting you at because you're comparing you to them and there's a place of self projection steps leading to the words of slander that comes out of your mouth the minute they say this person or that person.
And slander according to the Bible was just like murder.
How many of us has actually walking canes use?
how many of us has actually walked in their shoes and slandered someone because
guys, we're going to dive in more to this cuz this Sunday got for know my heart to really go after and take till that giant of rejection because I promised you the world around us feel so rejected.
But if we in the church are dealing with the rejection and we haven't been healed from it how we ever going to cover those who feel rejected. The best that we can do in our good intentions is give him a pat on the back and say they're there I know how you feel. And saying that never bring feeling in life. It only brings a momentary band-aid and the Band-Aid always comes off. And the womb all the wound always becomes more infected.
So next week, we're going to dive more into this this rejection and dealing with it from the biblical standpoint and conquering those things in our lives and I'll be sharing some stories out of my life next week guys. Like areas where God's healing me at areas where God saying tap. I'm going to pull this out. It's not fun. We got starts pulling things out. It's not fun. I told someone the other day. I said you ever get a splinter stuck in your hand or your foot? It is deep in there. Like what do you have to do? You have to irritate that area to get that sweater out like you just can't dive into the Splinter and try to reach it. You have to literally poke around the area. But sometimes you got to make the hole bigger.
Just let me open it up and it's always hard Wyman being a child get this little sewing needle out these tweezers Pokemon.
Use a pocket knife.
So that's what people do because we try to get the splinters out. Come on 42.
And I realize when God starts moving routes out of our lives. He has to irritate the area.
Sometimes you're frustrated and irritated because God's doing the work to remove Roots out.
And we fight against Dean we fight against it so much that it takes a 5-year process. That would have took a six-month thing. They're going to pass out the L voting for elders. We have two candidates. I said you guys pick the one that you feel God leading you to. Cuz ever Collins and Tony there are your time has come to leave the Elder team their term is over. And you have to have a few dollars. to take their place so
So why you do that and I'm basically done? Does anyone have any questions about what we talked about today?
Yes.
Cool. Thanks.
So the veggies that can give you said they weren't good enough, right like why we got rejected and she said I never said Kane gave his best. It doesn't say it at all in there. So we don't know if he did or didn't we just know it wasn't accepted number number. That's what we can look and speculate there, but I'm going to look at scripture and say I believe God had an order of offering giving. And I believe that Cain and Abel they grew up with their parents probably giving offering to God so they saw how it was done in the order. It was supposed to be done in. Like it was this their first time giving offering. I don't know but I don't think it was a first offering given. And so instead of following the way that was laid Cain decided to make A, New Path. Didn't work out well.
Go ahead.
Thank you fat.
So what are you gay wasn't good and the motive of what he gave one good.
Did anyone else have any questions?
All right. So you guys fill those out? They're going to collect them and I'm going to pray over us and then I went you guys enjoy your Sunday. We will have a Sunday Sunday may be cool. Have Sundays out in the foyer.
so Papa
we are said you do a work in our lives Jesus that you do a deep work in our hearts that you do the work in our soul that you uproot everything that doesn't need to be in our soul that you take complete ownership and that you even overrule God our stubbornness. We're resisting of you at that. You would have your glory shine through us and Anna that you would receive the full inheritance of your suffering Jesus. We ask that you would begin to draw us closer to you. That we may be used as as agents of change and this broken world that we're living in. That you would receive many sons and daughters. How many brothers and sisters? And your name? Amen?
Guys, God bless have a happy Sunday. Thank you, Frank. I love you. Thank you. Crank.
