Pre Outreach

So before we get into the sermon, we do have people out who are sick. They're under the weather. So I want you guys to help me out when you guys are point to other places in the fuse and I want you were going to release healing. Okay, normally where they would sit at but even to people who aren't here that God's calling. We're going to release some healing to them. All right?

It's pretty simple. You guys want Star Wars before? Okay, we're not releasing the force released in the face. You guys ready? We're going to declare it. We're going to believe that there's a shift happening. Okay. We thank you. Where's your power? And we declare healing deliverance and people being set free from all manner of sickness and disease. We break off every demonic attack. right now in Jesus name

we thank you for restoring health. and well-being

We tell Peyton to go.

recursive cancer at route in Jesus name we tell it to disintegrate. I'll go back to the festival.

cancel anxiety disorder in Jesus name we speak. Peace. in Jesus name

Hey, man.

Would you go and pray for the sick? I'm going to share this thing with you guys. That's exactly the same way. We pray for people individually for the SEC. We don't ask things to get fixed. We command them to be fixed. We're going to learn a lot more about that. We're going to look at the life of Jesus. We're going to understand how he did things. We're going to follow his example.

So we've been talkin about Outreach, but everyone gets their sermon notes for today.

There we can sermon notes. If not I have extra.

So who needs the money. Could you pass these out for me sweetie. Thank you.

We've been talkin about Outreach and I told you this is what we're going to focus in on we're going to talk about it until you get upset at me until you want me to shut up about it to you actually go out and do it.

Husband how many times has your wife asked you to do something and you haven't did it yet? Call Luis X.

Right, we'll just figure it out. I'm guilty of it. You. Where you going to go coz? It's always number 10 on the list you didn't do.

And then what does your wife do she tells you over and over do it? Right honey? Did you do it yet, honey. Did you do it yet, honey. Did you and finally? If you're a patient that you like to go do it had a rough day your invitation and your wife.

How many people ever had that responsible for?

I think you finally going to do the thing. You might do with an attitude, but you get it done, don't you?

You know.

The Bible actually says stir one another up provoke each other to Good Works. Did you guys know that provoke each other the homie people know they don't like being provoked?

Would you like someone to provoke you? Placement, you know, you're making you're acting like Fred Flintstone. Stick it under your breath Rick and rack on whatever whatever. What the Bible tells us to provoke one another to Good Works. strong arm

What year was also true? Is it you always do? What are you always done? You always get what you always got. And if you don't like what you're getting. You have to change what you're doing.

And that simple but yet it's hard.

I told you that there were ways that we're going to learn about evangelism. couple ways in one of the ways It's sharing the gospel by preaching. It is my testimony. It Is by The testimony of Jesus which is the spirit of Prophecy. It is also by your own personal testimony when you shared that testimony about your brother coming to Christ how much Glory did that bring to God?

I wasn't even part of it.

Yeah, I get so excited. You know, you'd like you your football team the Steelers score touchdown.

I'm very excited. Someone came across the year the Browns right? Like at the Browns win the Super Bowl what would happen? Out of Cleveland be left standing or not.

Funny that we get excited, but when the soul comes into the kingdom it is that much more exciting.

God gave this as our Command, so he said I want you guys to preach I want you to declare this on a preaching just means to Proclaim. I want you to proclaim the gospel. Other ways to share at man. We're going to get theirs called Power. That's where you're not here. Talkin. You're just demonstrating the spirit posted. I didn't come to you with Elegance. You speech I didn't come to you trying to persuade you. I can't get mystery in the spirit's power that your faith May rest upon God. And not my words.

Other ways we see you done is is through practical things relationship one-on-one. What's a practical way? Well, this disciple got sent to a chair. This guy's reading right the profits season Ethiopian and he hops in it. With them and starts talking to him about Jesus. That is a practical way meeting someone along the journey. What are the most? Challenging Believers to do is share the gospel. I'mma tell you why Satan hates it. He hates it. He doesn't want you to share the gospel. He doesn't want you to tell someone about God because

it changes people's lives. It wrecks the plans of hell. The last we're going to look at prop. It's just simply using a product that's like using a Magic Cube or card and we talked about that last week and it when you use a prop to share. Your goal isn't to be depended upon the prop is to be depended upon the holy spirit. To lead you and how to use it.

Today we're going to be looking at.

The pre-game before Jesus actually went and did a Outreach. What did he do? He will never work out in here and I work out workout. Who took a pre workout before I need the mike. That's some good stuff. So you took pre-workout? Yes, sir. What happened?

well You get all jittery Super Hyper. I can't sit still you just want to go for it. Let it all out. It's insane for and then on top of that it's like hyper whatever Edition and it's just like he's running through your veins. You just cannot sit still says so you have to run 5 Mi or else you're going to explode like to get the address to the whole body itches.

Pre-workout at the powder. It's a powder. Powder pre-workout powder mix it with water. And you drink basically like a shake, but you drink it before you work out so many minutes before you workout and disposed to basically a all of your muscles in your whole body to be able to do the tasks that you want to do there for promoting muscle growth and blah blah blah Health stuff.

The good kind Zoo joke, you know that got bands in the 90s 80s 90s because of people abusing it.

Oh, yeah, I remember that. I am in no way from voting pre-workout. But if you know, you know.

Can you take pre workout before you workout? Because it amplifies your workout at the gym. It depends on what they put in there. You can help you get that one more rap for bragging rights. I'll tell you my secret. All through the week. I don't use caffeine. So when I work out with Justin. I use caffeine.

Just to give me that ass.

Good night. What does any of this have to do with sharing the gospel? Before Jesus actually went out and share the gospel. He took he had a pre-workout. Something happened before then. That then made sharing the gospel more effective.

What happened? And that's what we're going to look at it. So if you have your Bibles, I want you to turn to Matthews.

I want you to turn the Matthew. 3 really look at verses 13 through 17.

Hey, Andrew. Could you hit the slide?

Thing is acting why?

If you have different Bibles don't want you to get your pins ready. Your highlight is ready cuz we're going to dissect this scripture.

Check it out. This is then Jesus went from gallaty Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized there by John John didn't want to do it. This is improper. He said I am the one who needs to be baptized by you. But Jesus said please go please do it for I must do all that is right. So then John baptized him. After his baptism as soon as Jesus came up out of the water the heavens were opened to him and you saw the spirit of God coming down in the form of a dove. I do voice from Heaven said this is my beloved Son in whom and I am wonderfully pleased with him King James says whom I am well pleased. Go ahead.

That's a short passage. But I want to tell you something else passage can be also found in mark 19 through 11 and Luke 3:21 through 23.

Before Jesus ever started to do Outreach. There was something that he did.

The first thing Jesus did was he got baptized by John. Did you guys ever wonder why? Big Y When you read your Bible, I want you to ask why.

When you examine scriptures, you got to ask why what's going on the contacts you got to look at all that but why did Jesus get baptized by John?

He was up. He's doing as a 4Runner like Toyota.

But why?

I mean him and John have John's like to Hollywood.

What was going on?

The Jesus basically tells John Hay. If you have your bottles underlining. What righteousness?

Snellville what is he talkin fulfill? What?

The word now. Yes, no, no, no, no.

Huh? No, no, no. No, the mission was to go to the Cross now. What?

Jesus is 37 years old. He's been walking around.

as a Jew practicing Judaism Judaism he's practicing. And all the Jews had is the law.

the Lost cold That's all they have. And there had been a profit on the seen in a long time. And then there comes a guy named John Ashley is found in the Gospel of John. It says it's is this until the first chapter? It says there was a man something by God whose name was John. He was not the light but came to bear witness of that light.

Jesus said John we got it for throw righteousness. What right what right way.

That's right.

John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. If you look at the Greek baptism means to immerse, but in the Greek repentance literally means a new way of thinking. God the Father gave John the Baptist authority to release a new way of thinking.

Like I don't know about that.

Challenge look it up. And Jesus being God himself.

Humbled himself underneath the authority that God gave John.

Humble yourself in the sight of God. He'll do I what's the scripture? Who knows? That's right. John Jesus hold himself under John's Authority being perfect walking out the Lord and he says John I need a new way of thinking John Cena's dude. I need you to baptize me. I know what you're bringing. You're bringing the Holy Ghost and Fire. I need your baptism. She's like no do we got to do it this way because the law had fulfilled

What law? the Jewish law God gave Moses and Deuteronomy chapter 28, which Israelites made a covenant with God and so Jesus is saying Sean. I need you to do this so we can fulfill the Covenant.

Made you guys knew that?

It's like when you read your Bible, you must ask why.

It's not you like to eat none of this makes sense. Whatever next part. Did you what I'm saying? John before Jesus ever went and Outreach. He needed a new way of thinking because all he had was the law. Do not taste do not touch do not handle and the law was a Schoolmaster to bring me into maturity.

What happened next?

big slide

after Jesus is baptized by John. It was a releasing of the authority. God had given John. John release the authority God has given him unto Christ. something shifted in Jesus You might say I don't know about that in your Bible.

Citizen when you came out of the water, if you look in John when it's written in John the Gospel of John it says Jesus being baptized and praying then the heavens opened. and he saw

Jesus gained perception

You came for ception their reception will always have believing.

What's have to do with Outreach?

Because he humbled himself under John's Authority. Is perception perception is not the same as perspective? Perception is how you pre sieve in since the world and things around you through your senses. Your eyes your ears. How you feel? It is being aware. Jesus then became aware of something. How do I know? It's true because the Bible says he saw

next ride

knowing that you see but something else happened to the spirit fell descended on him like a dove and other translate arrested on him and Gulf to close him. Let's put it like this immersed. Jesus was immersed in the Holy Spirit. new way of living in new actions

until he had to walk out the laws of man. But what's the baptism of the spirit happen? I promise you he began to be led by the spirit.

Some people believe me.

Pleasure Bible pleasure Bible.

Read the first verse of Matthew the next chapter in Matthew Matthew 4 read it loud and proud.

Stop. It was what led by what?

Because he was immersed in the Holy Ghost gives to be led by the spirit into a new way. You act is reform. He was not led by the spirit. He was led by the word of God.

What is this have to do with Outreach next live?

when the spirit landed on him the voice came from heaven and he and what happened identification from Papa to name his son. He said this this is my son. There's a new way of being

this is my son. Relationship that you may say Pastor, hold on. I read my Bible if I recall when Jesus was a little boy. He was in the temple his parents was looking for him. They couldn't find him and he said I must be about my father's business to Jesus always identified himself as a Son of God, but God had to identify Jesus publicly as a son of God.

Why?

It's shifted something next flight.

It's shifted its way of being and functioning with also shifted his value system. Sometimes we're working on the old value system. Jesus said how can you seek honor from one another and not pursue after the honor that comes from the father? new value system

all this happened before Jesus ever called the first disciple take before you laid hands on the first person before you turned water to wine. Most of the time in our Christian lies we are stuck. We are stuck not reaching out because we're stuck not getting this aligned, right?

We're not aligning and that's why we don't reach out.

You don't know.

You have to have your slide. I want you to flip to the back of your paper cuz we're going to look at this. Go ahead and you.

thoughts will always be the birthplace of belief. Your thoughts will always birth your beliefs. Your beliefs will always form your actions directions to A & B will create a lifestyle.

Jesus gained a new thought

which shifted his perspective was shipped in his perception and then there came belief. What do you think you was doing when he was baptized? The Bible says you was praying.

And then the Spirit came down on him because of his belief and form the new action being led by the Spirit by the spirit of God.

How do I get onto the Miracles and everything we got to lay the foundation before we even go?

The reason why we don't Outreach is because of our own thoughts.

We really don't believe God is going to save someone through us.

Why would they want to listen to me? Who do I got to share? What do I have to offer? I'm messed up anyway. And we allow these stones to form beliefs and whatever you begin to believe and act on your identify with.

Jesus came first option the Spirit came on him and the father identified him with already knowing that he was his only begotten son. The spirit was the reason. Identified her Jesus himself already identified himself as the son of God. but the father How come certain didn't tempt him before the spirit?

That's right. You want such a threat? You can't say that? Yes, I can and I did not say it again.

He wasn't such a threat.

It was until he received the spirit of God. He became of threat.

And the spirit led him to a place. personal temptation

calling Matthew swore to the spirit credit. Is it in the spirit by the spirit?

other translations In the spirit let him.

He went to the Wilderness to get tempted upon personal temptation.

The reason why we don't Outreach this because we fall. personal temptation are we don't want to tell people about Jesus?

How is this ovary? This isn't like it gets better. Later.

Freefall at personal habits in the problem is whatever you're struggling with you identify yourself with.

A man struggles with drinking. He's at what?

A drunk alcoholic person struggles with p***. What are they?

for an addict music pervert

person struggles with smoking. What are they a smoker?

Could you imagine Jesus in the wilderness and God I'm being tempted by.

Are being tested by Fred Freddy? It's almost brilliant.

The next thing is is suicide. Jesus got tempted by Suicide.

Come on, man.

I'm in The Last Temptation was to worship Satan and you know good and well, he didn't call himself to save this.

In Jesus does not identify himself. By the thing that's tempting him why?

Why?

you you once were

and the kingdom of darkness but no longer. Jesus identify himself with the father He said I am his son and every time singing tempted and he came out of place and said men don't live by bread alone. Why was he acting that way? Because he identified himself with the father man. And the reason why what happened when he identified himself with the father and I'm getting excited because after the Wilderness guess what happened? It says he came out of the Wilderness with power.

A revelation from God it's not testing is damaging to you.

It is damaging. Because you woke build a platform off of a revelation that has yet to be revealed in your own life. You have a form of godliness, but deny the power.

Personal revelation must be tested.

And the spirit is going to drive you to be tested. The Bible says God does not tempt.

We have a tempter, right? But he's going to allow you to be tempted but he's also said I won't let you be tempted by more than what you can handle. Didn't he and I always provide a way of escaping.

Place a weakness your place a struggle is the platform for God's power.

The scripture Paul said I had a thorn in the flesh dude, and I beseech the Lord multiple times and the Lord said I'm not removing it Paul because in your weakness, my strength is made.

That's right. Perfect.

We doing Outreach because we identify ourselves with sin. We don't Outreach because of our own thoughts.

most new church growth is by Christians going to another church. And this is not condemning anyone.

If I was here is another church.

Let me see where I was at that church. I was at another church.

I bet I was at another one before then to. Then I was at the church of my birth.

I'm telling you most new church growth is by other Christians going to another church.

And we call that success. City Academy

You don't want my preaching to you. Who does a guy down the street preachers pretty good, I heard him.

That's what's going on. Did you like my preaching? All right.

Just joking with him.

Could it be the reason the nation is in the state that it is in because the church kept doing with the church always did and it's proving it's not working.

If you always do what you always done you always did what you always got how many of you guys had let someone to the Lord.

How many you guys have let someone to the work this year?

last week

imagine what it would be like if someone would come to Jesus because of your life every month.

Top that's impossible. I'm glad you thought that because what's impossible for man?

Come on.

Pratap I didn't like people God didn't say like if he said love them.

dirt bikes dirt bikes grade Really? Well live release are there. Could you imagine? Go with me here for a moment.

We have to do something new.

We have to get a new salt that can produce a new belief. What happens if you believe that everywhere you go people come to Christ.

What happens if you would actually believe this man?

What would happen every time you sing someone falls down because the Holy Spirit gets on them.

Would you start sneaking around people who don't go to church?

What Woulda happened guys? Because we don't think that was his brother whatsoever is good. Think about these things. Why because he'll turn into a belief that God actually want to do this in my life. I do believe it would turn into actions. Remember. I was at Walmart. Walmart

I do not want to talk to someone and I have to believe that you know everywhere I go people come to Christ. We're not we're not be that all dacious. I mean come on the roads going to be all day. She's with you.

I can't watch the superhero show without seeing the same thing going with the same thing.

Set they just make Superman gay. I'm highly offended.

No.

I'm highly offended.

Why would someone come up with nerd I'm a weed. Identify with you to come for dude. No, I'm not. Sending you this to downgrade anyone. Who's that way? I'm telling you that the world's going to be that wild Aces with stuff. How about the church start?

If you don't believe we can we don't believe we're effective. We don't believe they want to hear us and so we don't.

sit down and shut up we go to church and we Pray that Jesus comes back quickly.

So would you please come here? And it's out of fear, dude.

And they were wondering if I could what's going on. We have to get a new way of thinking and the only way that we're going to get a new way of thinking is because the word says be transformed by the renewing of your and how do you renew your mind?

By the word of God, so if you don't know what this says then his chances are you ain't going to do it. You ain't going to believe it and you're not going to live in. I don't care how much you pray in tongues.

I don't care how much you pray in tongues. How many how many degrees of Christianity you got from different universities?

How many Visions did had? When you get before the Lord is going to say hi to do what you do what I gave you. But God didn't send me. Jesus said just as the father has sent me I send. Who said you say it loud?

So your son by God?

For such a time as exists on this Earth by God to give the devil a kick in the donuts.

To remind him he's defeated. Remind him he can't bear any more fruit. Remind him. But also the sea many sons and daughters come to God. This is why we're here. This is what we're moving to in the next couple of weeks. We're going to hear stories from other people sharing about how they came to Christ how they let someone in Jesus because this is the mandate.

Other than that, we're just playing games.

Are you not entertained?

Come on, I'll be at Knox dude. We're playing games.

Has this is like ice over in Word? But it feels pretty good to me.

Not because I got everything figured out I don't.

because if I do it myself to God to work this thing throw me. and if we yield ourselves to God to use this in a mighty way to change the world. A lot of people would tell you what you can't do. You actually tell you what you can.

Maybe you thought about getting a different job or moving somewhere or being an actor or whatever and all these she was at 1 do that. Let me tell you why I had all these reasons why you shouldn't do what time do you want to do? And so you yield yourself to them? To their can't to their mindset to their thoughts and you form an action that makes it habit and it creates a lifestyle.

I'm going to say restoration Chapel. We're going to do something different.

We're getting off the merry-go-round.

We're going to do something different. It's going to be uncomfortable. It's going to be challenging for me challenging for you.

We're going to see people come to Jesus. And then we're going to see them get disciples. As if we're going to see them go and lead people to Jesus.

Cuz I believe that's what God calls us to do. We're going to see hearts healed. lies drastically change

I'm going to finish up here.

Nextlight, please answer.
