OutReach part 1

We talked a lot about pre-workout Just remember that? Here is what we talked. We talked about free working out we talked about. The prej what Jesus did before you even went and I reached he did something.

So, what did he do?

We talked about him going to John. and John and him at this exchange of words and Do that exchange Jesus ends up getting baptized in the Holy Ghost to the point where in the Bible says and it rested on him didn't leave him ever and his fear was given to him without measure.

Who's ready for me to tell us some of your theology?

It says in Scripture that the spirit was giving to Jesus without measure. right But that means that we are just people can operate in measures.

What measure of the spirit are you living and functioning at?

This is this is why people get offended. Like I never get offended, but I was working and my boss said he wanted to give me a bonus.

And my boss said he wanted to give me a bonus and it gave me a bonus. I never got offended at that check how many of you guys get offended if someone gave you a bonus? You be offended by.

Since you spoke up, I'm going to go there.

Is it because the bonus wasn't good enough?

What is the bonus was double the amount of two paychecks?

Okay. Play forget the phone is give me a pay raise.

Yeah, but imagine this. Imagine that someone gives you a bonus and instead of receiving you rejected.

Instead of receiving you say no it's not good enough. Good luck getting on you Andrew. I'm just saying. I believe that's a heart issue dealing with value. Don't let self worth.

Jesus the Messiah being God In the Flesh, you know, he's with John the spirit the heavens open. We looked at that we said Heavens open. Jesus gained a new perception that let you A New Perspective. Because this is heaven open and she saw them perception.

What you're living in and functioning it will dictate your perception.

What you're allowing into your igate will dictate your perception. What you're listening to with your ear gate will dictate your perception.

And most of the issues with a Believer is that we know more of what we don't have their what we do have.

We live in more of what we don't have and what we do have.

Because somewhere down the line we realized no. We're not worthy of it without that work. We live in these fallacies in our hearts and fallacies.

They just have to do without reach because until Jesus had to ship the perception m4m perspective. He did not reach and do you guys know he was not the first one to even call disciples to him?

today's we're going to look at the Outreach in the beginning of Jesus ministry and it starts with a character named who I like to call Johnny p AKA John the Baptist because my voice is hoarse Craig's going to read for me. So if you have your Bibles, I would like you to turn to John one. We're going to get vs 29 through 40.

John 1:29 2:40 the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said look, there is the Lamb of God who takes away the world sin. He is the one I was talking about when I said soon a man far greater than I am is coming who existed long before me?

Let me put this in a little bit more contacts. This is after Jesus came back from the wilderness.

Teen Matthew in the gospels of Matthew Mark and Luke. It has John meeting Jesus John baptizing Jesus and then Jesus being driven off by the spirit to the wilderness.

But when you look at John's account, he's coming from a different place a different point. It was a time when we look at movies. I mean if you watch the show The Chosen.

You know when we watched shows they kind of confided all at once. It doesn't give you a proper understanding of the scripture and its context.

Can you please cry?

I didn't know he was the one but I am here baptizing with water in order to point him out to the nation of Israel. Then John told about seeing the holy spirit in the form of a dove descending from heaven and resting Upon Jesus.

Knicks line Virginia

I saw it happen to this man. And I therefore testify that he is the Son of God the following day as John was standing with two of his disciples. Jesus walked by John looked at him intently and then declared see there is the Lamb of God.

Then John's to disciples turned and followed Jesus Jesus looked around and saw them following. What do you want? He asked them sir. They replied. Where do you live?

Come and see he said so they went with him to the place where he was staying and were with him from about 4 that afternoon until the evening. One of these men was Andrew Simon Peter's brother. First of all the points and out by this passage. John did not know that Jesus was in fact the Messiah.

There's only one way John new and it says in scripture the one who sent me to baptize with water told me that the one who the spirit with this send upon and rest on and not leave. That is the messiah. How did John know that Jesus was the one?

You suck John baptizing.

To try to get some theology challenge.

We're getting into the Christmas season, right? At what is the most we talked about Jesus? We talked about Mary Mary receiving of the Messiah in her womb but then Mary meets her cousin Elizabeth and then something happens to John T. John comes in calendar with his purpose.

The only reason why John existed was to prepare the way for the Messiah to all the sudden John encounters his purpose his destiny. while in the womb end of the scripture says and he was filled. What was he selling with?

I thought they didn't happen to Pentecost.

Follow me scriptures. Whitley says that no man can say that Jesus is the Christ or Jewish terms Messiah led by the spirit of

so John

Evidently In this passage. It's filled and moved by the spirit.

And he begins to make a declaration. And he declares the Lamb of God.

John is the first one.

Claire Jesus as the Messiah the first man.

Jesus had not yet declared himself as a messiah. But John being inspired by the holy spirit makes a declaration that Jesus is the Messiah because of John's declaration. There are two who are in John's Ministry? The John had a following John had a Ministry. But there's two people around and there was more but these two heard what John said. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God to these two here with John says and immediately they transferred they became transfer students. Didn't go Jesus Messiah and Jesus says, what are you guys? What are you staying?

The first person ever to outreach was John the Baptist. Johnny B And it started from being inspired by the spirit of God. Most of the reasons why we do not if you cuz I lack of inspiration by the spirit.

Most of the reason why we don't Outreach, it's cuz we lack inspiration by the Holy Spirit.

And we allow our emotions to dictate us. wheel of fear pressures of society You know, you don't talk about religion politics and women.

Sting's to dictate the nature of our day

Have you been inspired by God yet?

Second The Inspirations brought forth a declaration.

It brought forth a declaration.

When you become inspired by the spirit. He's going to begin to declare who Jesus is that scripture to you? It says I'll get my spirit and he won't drink anything of his own accord. But only Testify the things I told you.

It's just being played out and we brushed by the story so fast and we missed them. Are you ready Craig? Really?

The following day is John was standing with two of his disciples. Jesus walked by John looked at him intently and then declared see there's the Lamb of God. Then John's two disciples turned in follow Jesus.

Jesus looked around and saw them following. What do you want? He asked them sir. They replied. Where do you live?

Come and see he said so they went with him to the place where he was staying and were with him from about 4 that afternoon until the evening. One of these men was Andrew Simon Peter's brother.

Andrew then went to find his brother Peter and told him we have found the Messiah and he brought Peter to meet Jesus. Jesus looked intently at Peter for a moment and then said you are Simon John's son, but you shall be called Peter The Rock.

That's good. Thank you.

I want to talk about the transfer students.

How many of you would be offended if someone transfers from your ministry to someone else's?

Johnson's not. Come on, man.

Did I mean people that you are told you that church growth? I told you Church growth. Most Church growth and Revival that we call Revival is Christians leaving other churches going to another church.

Is that a bunch of Boston saved? But it is people leaving a church going to another church and we're like Revival.

I'm not against that because God will call just like John's disciples. They were John students. But when a deeper Revelation came, they caught hold of it and they follow Jesus.

Understanding my life. There's only so much I can give.

Who's your favorite author?

Do you have other books besides it's

but you'll find that.

Please don't read books. What's in the box? How many different authors do you guys have?

But you don't get any weird that we don't get offended about reading different authors. Don't get offended by that.

But you want to know my for my favorites. Dr. Myles Munroe. one of my other favorite John Maxwell

Yes, that is good.

We're not fighting over authors.

Yes.

John understood his purpose was to lead people to the Messiah but not be the Messiah.

We don't know our purpose. Who spend a lot of time trying to be something we were never created or designed to be?

So the transfer students cheers John's testimony. About Jesus transfer to Jesus ministry. And then what do they do? They start running to their friends and family declaring we found the Messiah. Wow.

We make out retarded, don't we? Do you see the consistency of this thing?

They declare Jesus is the messiah.

About you looking at passage and John it says and Andrew was one of John the Baptist disciples and he went and found his brother Peter.

and when he found Peter

Peter didn't follow him

But we think Peter stopped everything and follow Jesus right then and there he did not.

Sometimes we're so afraid of someone right in that moment not following Jesus when we say he's the Messiah that we do not speak it out. We don't share it will do a thing. I want to take a little bit about Peter Wright and Jesus has his interaction with Peter. He says your name will be called cephas.

So I know every time I hear that I think of Planet of the Apes. Because it do Selena the monkey's name is Cesar dude. Why?

But you said your name is cephas? And you think that encounter with Christ would have made Peter fall and follow but it did not. What do sport fisherman on a boat?

Santa Cruz scared about reaching cuz they're not coming. I told me about Jesus and now they're not going to follow so I'm not going to tell someone else about Jesus because we take it as a personal rejection.

Before you ever do Outreach. I want you to be led by the spirit.

I'm just right here. How many people are thinking while I'm waiting for some moment right to be led by the spirit like I have to feel something. What do when you hear someone says say that how many people think that sometimes? I'm being honest be led by the spirit. Waiting for wind.

Are waiting for the Heavens to open above me? or something spectacular

this is being led by the spirit.

Show me toys were waiting for a moment. I mean, I believe the hyenas.

But we wait for that. When did he said in here go?

We looked at that you said go.

But we're waiting for the who moment. I believe the moment comes after we obey the go.

The Miracles come after we go. But we hyper focus on the moment and change that and not what he actually said and we call that being Spirit lead.

That's not let you know what that is.

Come on, cuz I need another thing to make me feel okay with God.

and because our emotions Right. We'll see you. We don't do storytime check it out.

You had a bad day.

Had a bad day.

I was angry I'm single and angry. I don't even know what I was angry about, but I had a bus training day at school. I was in college then I had a vehicle I was just frustrated.

And I was going to church and I was like Thursday. I was at 2 at church and that's it. I'm totally not like a place.

I'm at these young kids.

Probably 14 to 16. I'm like 23. And talking to them about Jesus. Please start getting excited about who God. Is it going to church with me that night met with them again. Talk to you more about God and you know when they meet me today, they still remember that encounter.

Thank you. Was really cool God really showed up and I realized I got from relationships through that now, let me tell you what I met those kids. I was in a bad mood.

I want you to change your mood.

Got the spirit of God. Don't care about your mood. If you can use a man named Rudy you can use you.

God doesn't care about that.

And I watch them flow and after that moment, I watch my whole gear and mood shift because my mood wasn't driven by my day. It started being driven by the spirit.

Who's driving you?

How are you doing this all from Outreach because most of the time it's us driving us and that's why we don't.

for those who are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God for those who are led by the spirit of God are the

do you really want to be a son or daughter?

That we saw her chance to read how Jesus new disciples Outreach at his disciples took off.

Let's look at what happens when Jesus does outreach.

The next day Jesus decided to go to Galloway. He found Philip and told him come with me. Philip was from bethsaida Andrew and Peter's Hometown as what proofpoint. Jesus just got two new disciples. Are you sleeping at?

Then the next day they go to Jesus goes to his disciples hometown.

Why?

better beds guys family family Prince he came he said I want to use the people who you're already in relationship with because Jesus starts with proximity.

How many of you guys have went to your friends and family yet?

and begin to declare Jesus

the first place he went was to their friends and family.

Who's ready for a little business?

Give him part of MLM company.

You sit down with your recruiter. Whoever got you. And there you sit down with them. He says write down. 5 people the five closest people in your life that you named people your mom.

You name people Jesus. I want you to resent this product to those five people in your life. Are you trying to present it may be one person B I don't you sit down with them. And you say do you know five people? continue present the product with them through their five and you make it to but then it's that third person. Just the science behind it.

and then begins to say

I like this product. I want to be part of the business. Just a consumer.

And they take a hold of it and they run with you.

Everybody knows you have a big underlined. price and you're working the system to make money. I realize the business World understands evangelism a lot better than the church.

Pat does not funny

Give me a break. Give me a break break me off a piece of that.

And you put it in front of your face, cuz I realize that your subconscious mind is greater than your conscious mind. So they could so consciously flash KitKat symbols in front of you.

You'll begin to crave a Kit Kat bar.

Where's your craziness? Probably the Snickers? right It does satisfy.

Christianity will the Bible says if it comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God and no one speaking about Jesus that was even playing the song you were so scared of planets and the subconscious beat of man.

But I find business people are scared to do that.

Throw it out there. Throw it out there again. Throw it out there yet. How many people is going to have ate a Kit Kat bar?

Yeah, this is not akademi thing how many people ever tasted the rainbow Skittles?

No, I'm better take a bite out of my butter.

How come all Babies R Us?

You can only adjust one side.

What we find is that we as people realize we will intake information regardless if we like it or not and it will soak consciously produced an action in our a thought in our conscious that they will produce action and our bodies. Jesus understood that cuz he created us. If you want to know how the car works I'm telling you. Whatever you begin to intake if the subconscious level will begin to Fester at the conscious. And your actions will form from there. So these men are going around telling people about the Messiah.

You looked about John City two days in a row. the first time you said it it just

The second time you said in stock.

And then he started following him and then Jesus goes to their Hometown. Continue Craig. The next day Loops Philip now went off to look for Nathaniel and told him we have found the Messiah a very person Moses and the prophets told us about his name is Jesus the son of Joseph from Nazareth.

Nazareth exclaimed Nathaniel can anything good come from there? Just come and see for yourself Philip declared as they approached. Jesus said here comes and honest man a true son of Israel.

How do you know what I am like Nathaniel demanded and Jesus replied I could see you under the fig tree before Philip found you Nathaniel replied sir. You are the son of the king of Israel.

Jesus asked him. Do you believe all this just because I told you I had seen you under the Fig Tree you will see greater proof than this you will even see Heaven open and the angels of God coming back and forth to me the Messiah.

Believe you read that story without even like stopping before a moment to think about what in the world is actually going on. To Jesus they go to the you know, the disciples hometown.

She's going to the homecoming.

I met a dude named Philip. A Jesus gets filled up a personal invitation.

From this point is the first time Jesus actually did Outreach. The first person Jesus actually Outreach to was Philip. Everyone else that's coming around. Is it because other people's testimony of him? No, it's not in detail with Jesus Phillip invitation. Absolutely later on Wednesday Angeles. Google runs around here by the guy name is Daniel. I need the clip now. I love Phillip.

You know I'm saying.

The other ones that we found them inside feels like to check it out. I found a guy who's the guy Jesus. Where is he from Nazareth?

and he is the Messiah the one the king of Israel and if Daniel Duce like hold on, where's he from again? Nazareth Nothing. Nothing good comes from Nazareth nothing. Citrus College with thieves and Liars by the way his son.

even know about

stop is it that you're reading too much into it too much. I'll just stop for a moment.

Jesus is from Nazareth. That means the carpenter shop had to be in Nazareth. So there in Galilee? And they know Joseph.

exporting Goods

You know about Joseph Carpenter business.

In Phillips eye contains like dude. I'm going to check this guy out Jesus outreaches again. He gives the Daniel word of knowledge.

The Tails walking to music. I would Israelite to chew it honest or in King James with no guile.

And the Daniel goes who told this man about me. He said how does he know me?

And Jesus is Love. You think I need you think that was something before you while you're sitting underneath the tree. I saw you.

Cuz he sees you cuz he sees you when you're sleeping. I think that's when you're awake, but better.

Oh, man.

But Jesus did outreaches and he just in the word and the day of against the following. He says you believe that you're going to be having Angels ascending descending upon the son of man.

What can we look at just by looking at scripture? What can we find is a consistent? Thing and each one of these events. What is the consistent thing?

From John to the transfer students to fill up the Jesus. What is the consistent thing?

Bank Thank you. They're all focused on Jesus.

To tell me their focus wasn't praying in tongues.

Or how much? Jewish knowledge they held about the law.

her Focus who's on one person? Being Jesus the Messiah.

And people started to follow God.

What are we focused on?

What are we focused on that?

Look at John. Being inspired by the spirit. He speaks out who Jesus is the spirit of Jesus having the spirit on him. Moves through a word of knowledge, but everyone else was just excited about this promise of having the Messiah. So let me just say it like this to people removed by the spirit. Everyone else was excited.

Come on. Yes, but they're excited the rest of them Philip. Is excited because you came in the counter with Jesus students were excited because they had an encounter with Jesus. Excitement and did them out to others the encounter is not the end. It is the springboard into Outreach.

because the church is hyper focused on encounter being the end of be all.

Oh, yeah. And we have conversations at home. So, how was worship?

I was average.

And we breed these things at home. Because it didn't make us feel a certain way. Call Matt instead of big. My voice is coming. Instead of looking at it like our Focus worship and come together and here that we can become about what God's word. Make us put some fresh firing us to go out and tell me about the Messiah. But we don't.

Jess

Jess but if we're not excited about. How are they going to be?

What day was the story?

Thursday night prayer we started praying together and we start praying for the loss. We started really like saying we started saying. We thank you for people coming in for a lost and broken. We take it our lives in calendar to this cool thing happened.

Are you guys you know, I'm a trainer, you know? I trained this girl named Sam.

And she's working out with day and she doing bench, press I think and I said dude you were in the Pokemon you were little. I think you even had the trading cards and everything else now. That's so silly.

What Pokemon is?

She looked at me and said who told you that.

Taking my brother tell you son or brother. I know I told you I was in the Pokemon. Who told you I still have the cards? Did you talk to my husband?

Do you like top?

but there was a big deal.

We still begins to leave me. I want to say listen. I don't know anything. Alice got tells me. Like I'm some pretty like toenail stuff. So I guess I'll just walk in people's way. I know everything and you know, unless God tells me I ain't got a clue.

We send let me to begin tell her about Jesus.

Resume led to me telling her a group of people on Thursdays praying for her. They were praying for you at church.

First encounter counter number to for back at the gym.

She says this kind of talk to people in dreams. I want to tell you something. I'm not forcing these conversations.

And I said, yeah and all the sudden got gave me a word of knowledge. I said you've been having a reoccurring dream about your grandmother. Who was a believer?

And she's late starts crying in the middle of the gym.

I said she was a Believer and she want her grandchildren to know Christ.

And I got the minister again and I told her God wants a relationship with you and I didn't so cool. How much God is pursuing you right now. She said and I said I told her you know the cool thing about sick why I think God gets what he wants.

encounter number three back at the gym.

I'm like, okay, we're going to be sick. Oh my gosh have a guy tell you something like what I was at work. And they're trying to mandate some things that I'm not okay with so I was talking to one of the other women there. Who is auntie auntie.

And she said to me that these mandates are following the same pattern as a mark of the beast in Revelation. And this EMT starts telling her about Jesus and there's hope in the Messiah.

She gets so freaked out at work. Cuz it woman asks. Are you ready to start your relationship? This is the second time. Someone asked her that I was the first she was the second she gets so freaked out. She tells you about me and goes in her room office and cries.

My job is to love Cher. And reveal Christ in me the hope of glory but why this is happening that because a group of you guys decide to meet on Thursday with us and pray. Prior to that this wasn't happening.
