Speaker 1 (00:11):
I was in Genesis one, and as I was looking
in Genesis one, I couldn't help but notice that the
creation story in Genesis one is a story told in
a pattern about patterns. The Oxford Dictionary defines the pattern
(00:32):
as a repeated decorative design or an example for.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Others to follow.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
So when we look at Genesis one, there is a
literary structure somewhere between poetry and prose that tells us
a story but uses a rhythmic pattern. Not only is
the story told in this rhythmic pattern, but the creation
itself is a pattern being created. And this pattern that
(01:03):
is being created is an example for every other day
to follow. So when God makes the seas, he's creating
a pattern, and that pattern is how the sea is
going to function, not just on Creation day, but for
every day after it. It is a pattern inside of
a pattern. It's really interesting because when we start off
(01:26):
Genesis one and it says in the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth, it really is just a
simplified explanation of an elaborate pattern that God put together.
Thank God for astronomy, we have a little bit more
insight into what God created When he created the heavens
and the Earth. What we know now is that when
(01:47):
God created the Earth, he put the Earth on an axis.
And when the Earth is on the axis, it's spinning.
And then not only is it spinning on that axis,
but it is rotating three plan.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
And it's from the Sun in orbit.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So when we talk about God creating the heavens and
the Earth, what we're saying is that God really created
a pattern for the Earth, and that pattern is that
the Earth will be on this axis, it'll orbit around
the Sun, it'll be inside of the galaxy that is
one hundred thousand light years in diameter and over ten
thousand light years thick.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
And that pattern.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Has not changed, because when God creates a pattern, he
doesn't change his mind. That pattern that he created when
he created the heavens and the Earth is still the
pattern that we are.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Standing in right now.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
All throughout Genesis one, we see this pattern over and
over again, the pattern in the text, but also the
pattern in what God creates. When I was studying, I
recognize that the pattern goes a little something like this,
God speaks it. If he speaks, to obeys, or responds,
(03:04):
God sees it, or evaluates it, then God confirms that
it's good.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Let's look at Genesis one.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
When we look at Genesis one, chapter three through four,
then God said, God said it, let there be light.
And there was light. It responds, and God saw the light.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That it was good. God saw the light.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
He sees it, He evaluates it, and then he determines
that it was good.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
That's that pattern.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
God speaks it, It responds, God evaluates it. God says
it's good. The same thing happens again in Genesis one.
I think it's verse nine. We see God says it,
It responds.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Once it responds.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
God evaluates it, and God then says it's good. Genesis
one nine, it says, then God said, let the waters
under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and
let the dry land appear.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And it was so. God set it. It was so.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
God called the dryland earth, and the gatherings together of
the water he called seas. And God saw it, and
it was good. That dryland is still called earth today,
and the gathering of the water is still called the
seas today, because that pattern hasn't changed. When God creates
a pattern, he doesn't change his mind. Genesis one, verse eleven,
(04:29):
God said, let the earth bring forth grass, the earth
that yields seas and the fruit trees that yields fruit
according to his kind, and who seed is in itself
and on the earth.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And it was so God set it. It was so
the earth brought forth.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
It responded, It responded to what God said. Then God
sees it and says that it's good. Grass is still growing,
trees are still producing fruit. Because when God sets a
pattern in motion, he doesn't change his mind. When God
speaks a word Isaiah fifty five, let's uys know that
(05:05):
the word will not return into him void, but it
will accomplish.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
That for which it was sent to do.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
It says, it's going to prosper because when I speak
a word, that thing must be executed. And it's not
that it just must be executed. I've gotta call it good.
God doesn't just speak a thing and then move on.
God says, I got to make sure that what I
spoke is what I see, and what I see has
got to be good.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
That's a word for.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Somebody, because I want you to understand that God's pattern
is to make sure that everything lands on good. That's
why people say, if it's not good, it ain't over,
because when God gets finished, it's God to be good.
He's going to cause all things to work together for
the good.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
He said it in the Old Testament.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
He says it again in the New Testament because his
people need to understand that part of my pattern.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Is to make sure it turns out good.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I got a pattern. Great is thy faithfulness. I got
a pattern. Sometimes you just sing the song, but then
there comes a moment when you know the song to
be true. Because every time I thought that what I
was looking at was gonna be bad, some kind of way,
it ended up on good. There's no reason why some
of us should even be in this room, but for
(06:22):
some reason, God kept making sure that it landed on good.
I didn't do everything the right way. I don't know
all of the right people. There's no reason you should
even be jealous of me, honey, because the same God
that did it for me, I know he can do
it for you. There ain't nothing special about me. It's
just the way that God works.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
He has a way.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Of making sure that everything lands on good. If it
ain't good, it ain't over. I want you to prophesy
to somebody. Just nudge them and say if it ain't good,
it ain't over. If it ain't good, it ain't over.
I know you may be in the midst of a struggle,
but I want you to know that if it ain't good,
it ain't over. I want you to understand that if
God is in it and it's still bad, then God
(07:04):
is not finished because he doesn't know how to stop
on bad. He doesn't know how to stop or I
spoke it. He makes sure that what I spoke becomes
what I see, and that what I see it becomes good. Oh,
I feel my help coming. I have a God who
checks his results. I have a God who doesn't just
(07:26):
speak it and move on. He's spoken ten years ago.
If it hasn't happened yet, don't give up, because he
doesn't leave you with what he spoke to you.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
He makes sure that what I spoke becomes what you saw.
That's a good word.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I like that because sometimes I start struggling when things
start looking bad, and then I start thinking that God's
left me, and I started thinking that God's moved on
to somebody else because I see somebody else situation turning
out for good, and I see somebody else's relationships working
out for good. And I think to myself, God, I
(08:07):
thank you forgot about me. But God has a pattern.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
God.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
See, if I was just working with a random God,
i'd be a little concerned. But because I know how
my God works, I understand that if it is not good,
then God is gonna evaluated.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Kane, why are you upset?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
If you do not go back, well, I then not
find this sacrifice and call it worthy. Don't give up
just because what I evaluated doesn't look like what I wanted.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I'm gonna give you another chance. I don't know who
this is.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
For, but I want you to understand that if God
didn't say it was good, it doesn't mean that God
doesn't still want to work.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
With you to get it to good. You may have
messed up in your past.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
But if you're still here, I need you to understand
that your being here is a sign that it can
still get to good. God says, I'll teach you. God says,
I'll show you how to do it. God says, don't
worry about what anyone else did. I know how to evaluate.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Your results and get your results to good. Oh. I
thank you. Yeah. God's word. It has a pattern. He
(09:28):
announces it, executes it evaluates it. It's good.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
You're gonna get a word today. Maybe you've already been
walking around with a word. Your job is to make
sure that you execute on the word God has given you.
And then it's not enough to execute, then you got
to submit yourself a living sacrifice.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
You gotta say.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
God, I did the best that I could. But I'm
also offering myself up for evaluation because if there's anything
in me that is keeping good from coming out of me,
I want you to fix it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I want you to convince me. I want you to
change me.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I want you to transform me because I know you
got to get to good and I want.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
To get to where you going.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So if there's something in me that's not good enough,
I thank God for the Holy Spirit that you will
change me and transform me until I can get to
good with you.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
We are.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
The only creation in Genesis one that doesn't look like
what God started in the creation story. Genesis one says
that we're gonna be made in the image of God.
Oh I wish I hadn't. I'm gonna turn to it anyway, amen.
(10:57):
Genesis one twenty says I got a real Bible because
I'm saved, saved y'all got digital bibles. That's the starter kit.
I brought my real Bible. Can I tell y'all about
this Bible and then I'll get back to my message.
I won this Bible vacation Bible School in nineteen ninety
six here at the Potter's house, and then I lost
(11:19):
it because I didn't care about it. Then one day
I was divorced, and then my parents' house, single mom,
two kids, and I was cleaning out on their closet. Say,
look at this Bible from ninety six. I think I'm
gonna read it. Here I am with my ninety six
(11:40):
Bible like I'm super saved, like I had it the
whole time. Oh, because sometimes when God do something in
your life, it'll look like you had it.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
The whole time.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Oh yeah, we're gonna have fun today. I feel it
in my spirit. This chapter one, verse twenty six. He said,
So God created men in his own image, and in
the image of God. He created him male and female.
He created them. Then God bless them, and God send
them be fruitful multiply. I feel the earth, and so
do it have dominion over the fish of the sea,
(12:15):
of the birds of the air, and over every living
thing that moves on the earth. And God said, see,
I have given you everything that I created.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I gave it to you. He creates man.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
He looks at everything he created, he evaluates it, and
he says that it's good. But we don't look like
that pattern that God created in Genesis one. Some of
us should have dominion over things that have dominion over us.
(12:50):
Some of us are letting things rule over us that
we should be ruling over. Why is it that we
don't look like that pattern that God created in Genesis one?
Because in Genesis three, the serpent comes in and Satan
(13:11):
understands that it is to his benefit for him to
rule over us as opposed to us ruling over him.
And so the serpent recognizes that if I want to
change this outcome, I have to change the pattern.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
God help me.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
If I want to change the outcome of them having
dominion and them subduing, then I have to change the pattern.
You want to break generational curses, and all you look
at is the outcome. But if you want to change
the generational curse, you have to be willing to look
at the pattern that creates the curse in the first place.
(13:59):
The serpent understands that my best shot is changing the pattern,
and so Satan introduces his own pattern. Oh, if you
take notes, I want you to write this down, because
this is the same.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Pattern that he uses today.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It starts with a question, did God really say, oh,
look at the juxtaposition. In God's pattern, it starts off
with a declaration, it starts off with an announcement. In
the Enemy's pattern, he questions the announcement. Did God really say, ooh.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I feel my help coming.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Did God really say that you couldn't eat from this fruit?
Did God really say that you were going to be
the one? Did God really say that it was possible
for you to do the thing that God said you
could do? And now, where you should have had a word,
where you moved into exec you've moved into confusion. And
(15:06):
God's pattern, we go from announcement to execution. In the
Enemy's pattern, we go from question to confusion.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Now I'm confused about what God said.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Now I'm confused, and so I can't execute immediately because
now I got to figure out maybe the timing was wrong,
Maybe it wasn't for me, Maybe he was talking to
someone else. Maybe it's not my time. Maybe I heard him,
but maybe I mishurt him, maybe it was for someone else.
And now I have confusion when I should have had execution.
(15:49):
He questions, Then you're confused, and now you're executing from
a place of confusion.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Eve the woman says.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
She looks at the fruit, and she sees that it's
one desires to make one wise, and now she's executing
from a place of confusion. Sometimes that's executing from a
place of confusion.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Is not necessarily what we do.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Sometimes that's executing from a place of confusion is that
we do nothing at all, and when we should have
been responding, when we should have been obeying, Now we're
executing procrastination. Now we're operating in disobedience. Now we are
(16:42):
in sin, which that Greek word means hermity. It means
to miss the mark, which means when I should have
been executing, I'm doing nothing at all, and I.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Have missed the mark.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I have sinned against God because I didn't execute the
thing that he told me to do. I allowed my
confusion to stand in the way of my execution.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
And now I'm isolated.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I'm separated because the moment she eats from this fruit,
she's separated from God, because when we miss the mark,
when we sin, when we're disobedient, we always separate ourselves
from God. And so now this is the pattern that
humanity is stuck in between. I'm stuck in between God's
(17:29):
pattern of announcing, executing, evaluating, and saying it's good and
the enemy's pattern of question, confusion, execution, and isolation. I'm
stuck between two patterns. Has anybody ever been stuck in
(17:50):
between two patterns?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I know y'all real.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Super saved, so you're probably watching online because everyone in
here is really on God. But me and you and
the people watching online, we know what it's like to
be stuck between two patterns. Where I want to be faithful,
but I never had an example. I'm stuck between two
patterns where I want to stop drinking, but I can't
stop drinking because I keep needing this escape. I'm stuck
(18:17):
between two patterns. I want my marriage to have a
different outcome, but my marriage is stuck between two patterns.
You yell, I shut down, and now we can't have
no healing. I'm stuck between two patterns. I want to
save the money, but I'm stuck between two patterns.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I want to fix my heart, but I'm stuck between
two patterns. I want to have a.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Handle over less, but I'm sucked between two patterns. I
want to think, write, and have my mind clear, but
I'm sucked between two patterns. I'm sucked between two patterns. God,
why is it that I can't do the thing that
I want to do? Is what Paul said, Because I'm
sucked between two patterns. There's a law on the inside
of my body, and that law is sinning. I'm stuck
(18:58):
between two patterns that I hope I want to do,
I don't do.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I'm stuck between two patterns.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Firehouse, I want you to know that you're not the
only people stuck between two patterns. That is, grown folks
in this room, stuck between two patterns.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I want you to understand that you're not.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
The only one that knows that I should do right
and I shouldn't talk like that and I shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Think like that.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
But it's hard for me to break that pattern because
I'm stuck between two patterns. Older generation, we have a
responsibility to the upcoming generation to let them know you're
not the only one to.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Be stuck between two patterns.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
But thanks be unto God who always causes us to triumph.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, I'm stuck.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Between two patterns. Paul says, I find this law at work.
Although I want to do good. I want to do good.
I want to be in the pattern that lands on good.
I want that. I want my heart to be pure.
(20:17):
I want my mind to be pure. I want to
be focused. I want to land on good. But every
time I want to do that, Evil is right there
with me. It won't even give me a running chance.
Evil is right there with me.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
In my inner being.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
God delight in God's law. But I can see that
there's another law at work in me. I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
It's waging war. Oh.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I want to talk to somebody who's got a war
waging on the inside of them. There's a war waging
on the inside of me, inside of my mind, and
it's making me a prison. I want to talk to
somebody who.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Is a prisoner. I have a pattern.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I want to talk to somebody who feels stuck in
the same cycle over and over again. I can't get
my head right, I can't get my money right, I
can't get my family right.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I'm stuck in a pattern. And I want to take you.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
To Verse twenty five, Oh God, I feel my help coming.
Paul says, thanks feed of God who delivers me. No, no, no,
let me take it to twenty four. Twenty four says
what a wretched man I am?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Who will rescue me from.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
This body that is subject to death? Where am I
gonna get my help from? Who's gonna help me? Who's
gonna deliver me? How do I get out of this pattern?
And verse twenty five says thanks feed of God who
delivers me Jesus Christ, our Lord. So then I am
(22:03):
myself and my mind am a slave to God's law,
but in my sinful nature a slave to the law
of sin. But thanks be to God who delivers me.
Why does Paul say, thanks be to God who delivers me.
I'm stuck between two patterns, but for some reason, Jesus
delivers us from this back and forth, this pattern of
(22:26):
being stuck between two different ways of being. Because Paul
understands covenant, God help me. Because Paul understands covenant. Paul
understands that I can be stuck between two patterns by myself.
(22:46):
But because I am in covenant with Jesus that which
I cannot do on my own, I got back up
in Jesus to get the job done. Oh y'all, I
feel like preaching in this help. I need you to
turn me up into monitors because I don't want to
lose my voice. Halfway through this message, Paul says, because
I am in covenant with Jesus, it won't be by
(23:08):
my might, it won't be by my power, but by
the spirit, says God, that I'm going to be able
to be delivered from these two patterns. I need you
to understand the power of covenant. The power of covenant
means that that what you cannot do in your own strength,
because you are in covenant with God. If you turn
(23:30):
to God and say, God, I don't want to be
stuck in this pattern anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
And I tried it in.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
My own strength, but God, I need some help that
Jesus says, that's what I came for. I came that
you would be delivered from sin. I came that you would.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Be delivered from destruction.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I came that depression would have to back up off
with you. I came so that anxiety would have to
leave you alone. I am in covenant with God. You think,
having Jesus in your heart, it's about being a good
judgmental Christian.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
No baby.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
When I got Jesus, I got back up in the spirit.
When I got Jesus, I got just prayed prayers that
I couldn't pray.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
On my own. I couldn't even come to the Throne
of Grace.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
But because of Jesus, I can do things that I
shouldn't be able to do because I am in covenant
with God. I'm in covenant with God. When you're in
covenant with God, no weapon form to get you will
prosper when you are in covenant with God. Though he
slay me, yet shall I trust in him. When you
(24:37):
are in covenant with God, He'll make your enemies your footstool.
When you are in covenant with God, He'll cover you
even when you made a mistake. When you are in
covenant with God, demon start trembling.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
When you are in covenant.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
With God, generational patterns are broken. It ain't nothing but
a covenant baby. It ain't nothing but a covenant baby.
I am in covenant with God. How do I know
the child is gonna be saved? Because I've never seen
the righteous forsaken. You're their seed begging for bread.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I am in covenant with God. Covenant. He's a covenant
keeping God.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I'm in covenant, and Covenant gives me access to power,
and Covenant helps me to tell Sin you got to
leave me alone. Covenant is gonna break the addiction. Covenant
is gonna save the family. Covenant is gonna change your name.
(25:44):
Covenant is gonna prepare you for the flood. Covenant is
gonna do.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
You like Abraham and move you into new territory.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
You're gonna get out of your father's house and into
a land that he will show you because I'm in
covenant with God. When you're in covenant with God, you
start doing things that don't make sense to other people.
But my covenant ain't none of your business. I'm in
covenant with God. I move where he tells me to move.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I speak what he tells me to speak. Covenant.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
What have you looking for? Coliath Covenant? What have you
talking to a burning bush?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Covenant? What have your partying or at sea? Covenant? What
have you moved to Dallas, Texas? Covenant? What have you
on in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
In South of Africa watching online? Because I'm in covenant
with God. I had to get up this morning I'm
in covenant with God.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I had to break up with you. I'm in covenant
with God. I had to go to therapy.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I'm in covenant with God. I'm in covenant. I'm in covenant.
I paid my time on the first and the fifteenth,
cause baby, I ain't got time to be playing. Everything
in my house is in covenant with God. You better
watch your mouth when you're talking to me. My mouth
isn't covenant with God. My mind isn't covenant with God.
(27:12):
Don't forget the covenant. Don't forget the covenant, that you're
not in it on your own, that all of the
Heaven's resources back up covenant. A thousand may fall on
my right side, ten thousand may follow on the other.
But I'm gonna be okay because I'm in I'm in
(27:37):
covenant with God. Christine Kane, she's one of my favorite
women preachers. And Christine Kane talks about having a cancer
(27:58):
skin and I love her so much. And she told
me she told a room full of people, so I'm
not telling her business. She said that by the time
she got finished talking to God that she was wanting
to be healed in her body. But she also realized
that because she's in covenant with God. Even if the
(28:21):
doctor's report doesn't change, she gonna be okay because she's
in covenant with God. I want to talk to somebody
who refuses to believe the report.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Of the doctor. Because I'm in covenant with God.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Either I live or I have everlasting life, but death
is not an option because I'm in covenant with God.
The bank can tell me no, but they can't kill
my purpose because my purpose.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Is in covenant with God.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I may have to restructure, i may have to move,
but I'm in covenant with God and.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
He will perform his word.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
He doesn't know how to do it, how to abandon
his word. He doesn't know how to give up on
his covenant. We give up. He doesn't know how to
do that. So I don't lean into my own understanding
because I'm in covenant with God. I'm a crowd at night,
(29:28):
but joy is coming in the morning because I'm in
covenant with God.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
It don't mean life doesn't hurt.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
It just means that I serve a God that's gonna
get me the good because I'm in covenant with God.
Oh God, I wish I could say this real good.
Being in covenant with God doesn't mean that I'm always
going to feel prosperous. I can downsize and ste you'll
(30:00):
be in covenant with God because being in covenant with
God is about where my spirit.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Is, not where my resources are.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
When you have the source, it doesn't matter what your
resources are. Because I'm in covenant with God, I can
do all things through Christ, who strengthens me in the
context of my whole life can change, My whole world
can change. It could be turned upside down. But I'm
gonna be good because I'm in covenant. I don't know
(30:37):
who you are about. I hear God saying you need
to get back to covenant. Poor little Serpent in Genesis three,
thinking that he has usurped authority over God's pattern, not
(30:57):
recognizing that covenant breaks the curse, not recognizing that they're
in Genesis three when he thinks he has exercised his
pattern and thwart to humanity is a promise that the
seed of the woman is going to crush his head.
(31:18):
There's a covenant buried in the curse. Covenant is the
pattern that God uses after what happens in the garden
with Abraham, with Moses, with Jacob, with David. He uses covenant.
(31:44):
That's the new pattern.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
This is covenant. So when we enter the New Testament.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
We see that he's working out a new covenant, this
blood Covenant. Oh God help me, Jesus says, I am
the Covenant. I am the Blood Covenant, the new Covenant.
I know you heard about God making covenant with other men,
(32:12):
but now the new covenant is that whosoever believes in
Me shall not perish but have everlasting life.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I am the new Covenant.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
So we have Jesus, the new Covenant, who is creating
a pattern for all of us to follow. Oh God
help me. Jesus is the pattern that we're to follow.
But he's also making patterns.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Through the disciples.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Oh God, I'm gonna take my time because I won't
to mess it up. Jesus, our new Covenant calls twelve
disciples together. I'm gonna give you insight, he says to
the disciples on what God is doing in the earth,
(33:12):
because when you're in covenant with God, you get information
first that other people can't even understand. I can tell
you was off. God just dropped it in my spirit.
I'm in covenant with God. You ain't lived until God
drops something in your spirit.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
That's how you know.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
He says to the disciples, follow me, and I will
make you fishers and men.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Okay, that's a new pattern. That's a new pattern.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
This new Covenant lays out a new pattern that everyone
is to follow from this day forward. If you believe
in me, this is your pattern. Follow me and I
will make you fishers of men.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Step one in.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
The pattern, follow me, follow me, just follow me. Just
be in the atmosphere where I am inconvenience yourself to
be where I am. Be willing to leave your familiar
to be where I am be willing to break out
(34:28):
of your cycle, to be where I am. I'm telling
you follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
And some people they did. They followed him.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
But then there's this next step of the pattern where
he says, and I will make you. Uh oh, can
I tell you a secret. Some people come to church
and they follow them, But people who are in relationship
don't just follow. They let you Jesus make them.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
If you could have seen the person you sit next to.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Before you was sitting next to him, you would know
that he's a miracle work in God.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
I didn't just get to where I am. He made
me into this.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Maybe there was a time I would have crushed you
and slapped you, but he made me into this. There
was a time when I would have lost my mind,
but he made me into this. I didn't just follow
him so that I could say I'm a cute little Christian.
I allowed him to make me. I don't think the
same way. I don't speak the same way because I
(35:45):
allowed him to make me. Jesus says, I'm gonna make
you into something if you follow me and you don't change.
You didn't follow me, because if you follow me, you
should have no choice but to be made into something else.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
If you follow me, I'm gonna make you.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I know I called you an author, and you have
no idea what an author is. But if you follow me,
I will make you into what I called you to do.
If you follow me, I won't make you into the
rooms I'm calling you to go into. If you follow me,
I will make you and to the husband you never
thought you could be. If you follow me, I won't
(36:27):
make you and to a person of integrity. If you
follow me, I won't make you walk with boldness. If
you follow me, I will show you how to humble yourself.
If you follow me, I will give you the language
you need. If you follow me, that trauma won't rule you.
If you follow me, I won't make you. I'll do
surgery on the inside. You go from being a woman
(36:50):
with the issue of blood to a woman I called daughter.
How could it be in the same text that I
started off with issues and ended in adoption. He must
have a pattern where he announces that I am whole,
and all of a sudden, I'm whole again.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
I think I mess around and I let him make me.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
I wasn't a preacher when I was growing up here,
but I started following God and he made me.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
And so what he called me for. I want to talk.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
To somebody who is being made into something new right now.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I want you to know that.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
If you get on the Potter's wheel and don't mess
around and get in the Potter's house, I'll make sure
that you are transformed. I'll make sure that you turn
into a messor that doesn't look like what.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
They went through. If you follow me, I.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Will I'll make you. Oh God, okay, I just.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I try.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Okay, Hell here, y'all know, y'all know what I love
about him?
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Is that the following and the making is not a
one time thing. Because sometimes I follow him and he
makes me on the level that I am.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
But then he calls me somewhere else, and I got
to follow.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Him somewhere I've never been before, And he says, follow me,
and I'll make you again. Follow me, and we'll go
from glory to glory to glory. Just keep following, and
now I'm gonna keep making. If you keep following, I'm
(39:25):
gonna keep making. If you keep following, even in your
latter years, I'll still.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Be making you.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Even in your former years, I'll still be making you.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
I know.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Gotta, God, God of my big age, you would cause
me to do something new. God, I don't know if
I can survive in that new arena. I don't know
if I can survive in that new industry.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
God, you would call me. Follow me.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
And I'll make you. I'll show you. I'll show you
how to quit, I'll show you how to build. I'll
show you how to let go. I'll make you the
person who doesn't even need that anymore.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Follow me.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
And I will make you. I'll make you into it,
holy and acceptable. I'll make you into it. Follow me,
I don't just call the shots. How get in the
ring with you. I'll make you into that man. I'll
(40:59):
make you into that woman. I'll make you into that.
I'll make you into it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
That word thank you Jesus. That word make In the Greek,
it means product. Follow me.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
And you will be my product. You'll be my product,
You'll be my brand. You'll be the collective essence of
my expression.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
I will make you my product.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
And I know that he does this because in Acts four,
when the disciples are speaking in the synagogues, they perceive
that they were uneducated and untrained men, and they marveled
because they realized they had been with Jesus, untrained, uneducated.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
But the product of Jesus. It was so evident that
they had been with Jesus.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
Because they looked like a product of his. I want
to be a product of Jesus, Lord. I've been a
product of my environment. I've been a product of my trump.
I've been a product of my success. I've been a
product of my hustle. I've been a product of the culture.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
I've been a product of everything else. I want to
be a product of Jesus.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
I want people to marvel when they look at me
because they see you shining through me. I want them
to say she was untrained, she was uneducated, she.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
Didn't know what she was talking about.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
But I'm still marveling at her because for some kind
of way, it looks like He speaks through her. To
be a product of Jesus is not just to speak
or preach or worship. You are the difference on your
(43:27):
work space. You are the difference in your family. You
are the difference in all of the storytellers that are
creating films and television shows you. When you are a
product of Jesus, it shows up in what God has
gifted you to do.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
This is my product, but what is yours?
Speaker 1 (43:52):
How are you different than the culture, the environment, the
paradigms of your family, your community.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Are you a product of Jesus? Have you been made new?
Speaker 1 (44:12):
When I enter this text in Matthew ten, verse sixteen,
I really wrestled with this because I saw the pattern.
Follow me and I will make you. But there was
(44:33):
this hidden next step. And this is what I think
I wrestled with in trying to study. And I think
this is where many of us get stuck, and some
of us do the following, and some of us do
the making. But in Matthew ten we see the third
(44:54):
part of this pattern.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
Is follow me. I will make you, and then I
will send you. God help me. Follow me.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
I will make you, and then I will send you.
I am not making you to keep you. I'm making
you to send you.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Ruin us the kingdom. And some of us we come
to church.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
And we follow him and we've been made new, but
we don't allow ourselves to be sent. And the Kingdom
of Heaven, which is different than Church, it's about how
we invade what happens outside of this room. It is
(45:56):
how we take the kingdoms of this world and make
them the kingdom of our Lord. It's when the ideas
and the creativity that God has placed on the inside
of us doesn't stay with us. He tells these disciples,
I'm sending you, and you are stepping into what you
(46:23):
were made for.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
Who's in this room, but I want you to understand
that maybe you're like the disciples. And this is the
part that I feel is so prophetic. And maybe it's
just my own mail, and I'm letting you read my mail.
Some of us are about to step into what we
(46:52):
have been made for.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
Now, I want you to take ten seconds and really worship.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
God, because I want you to be a product of
your worship, not a product of your fear. I want
you to be a product of the environment that has
been making you and shaping you. Because I want you
to understand that the kingdom does suffer the violence and
the violence taken by force. That there's somebody in this room.
(47:22):
And I hear God saying that is kingdom season. I
hear God saying that it is time for you to
go into territories.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
Bearing the mark of what you have been made for. Oh,
the only.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
Thing that Jesus preaches is repent, for the Kingdom of
Heaven is at hand. And when he creates these disciples,
these patterns that we are to follow.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
He wants them to do the same thing he did.
He wants them to go, not stay with yourself. But
I want to send you.
Speaker 1 (48:08):
Out first to the lost sheep of Israel. There is
a people who are scattered, and you are the.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Only one who can reach them.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
And you cannot reach them unless I send you. You
cannot change the industry unless I send you. You cannot
touch them unless I send you. And I want you
to go get the people who don't know that they
are my people yet. As I was reading this text,
(48:49):
I wandered to myself in Matthew ten, verse sixteen, and says,
Jesus tells them, behold, I send you out as sheep
in the midst of wolf. Yes, I don't know if
you've ever had God call you somewhere. We're making the
wrong move could get you eaten alive. I mean eaten alive.
(49:16):
The politics, the systems, the structures, the following in the
making part is actually the easy part. It doesn't feel
like it when you're in it, But the following in
the making, that is the easy part. The hard part
is when he sends you and now I have to
speak to people who are more educated than I am.
(49:40):
I have to change a culture that has existed in
my family for a long time. I have to be
a new pattern amongst old patterns.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
And I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
As I was reading this text, I wondered to myself,
how in the world did they not give up, How
in the world.
Speaker 2 (50:07):
Did they not tell.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
Jesus get somebody else to do that. I don't want
to be a sheep amongst wolves.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
Have to experience the danger and exposure of being the
one who speaks out of the one who do something
does something differently. I don't want to have to live
with this reality. And yet he says, still, I'm gonna
send you out, and they're gonna deliver you up to councils.
Quite literally, there are people in this room, and your
job is to go up against systems and structures that
(50:42):
have existed in this world for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
You are a sheep amongst wolves.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
To change what you want to change in your community,
to establish.
Speaker 2 (50:55):
The Kingdom of Heaven and your family. Why were a
sheep amongst woolves? How? God tell me? How?
Speaker 1 (51:05):
How do I tell them they're going to be okay?
How did the disciples know that they were gonna be okay?
Speaker 2 (51:12):
To be the difference?
Speaker 1 (51:15):
And Jesus told me, Sarah, you are underestimating what happens
in the making process. When you were in the making process, yes,
you get my spirits, Oh God help me. When you
were in the when the disciples were in the making process,
(51:39):
they received his desires.
Speaker 2 (51:42):
Oh God help me. They got a passion for the.
Speaker 1 (51:46):
Kingdom that was worth the exposure of what they were
going up against.
Speaker 2 (51:55):
When scripture says, let this mind be and you that
was also in Christ. Jesus, what we're saying.
Speaker 1 (52:00):
I want to be so focused on what you have
called me to do that it doesn't matter what danger
I am up against. I want to be desperate for
your kingdom to come, your will to be done. I
gotta be desperate for your kingdom to make the difference.
And when the disciples were in the making process, they've
(52:21):
seen the disease be healed, They've seen the sick be
made cleanse, They've seen Jesus preach good news to those
who needed it. They were desperate to see that invade
the earth. I told my husband I have a kingdom
message for those of us who go to church. This
(52:47):
kingdom message is that this cannot stay in here. It
cannot stay in you.
Speaker 2 (52:57):
What God is doing in.
Speaker 1 (52:58):
Your life, it is kingdom, and you gotta be desperate
for someone else to experience this.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
I don't care what they say about church. I don't
care what they say about religion.
Speaker 1 (53:12):
I want to know what He did inside of you,
because you gotta be desperate to see that go into
the world. You gotta to be desperate to let people
know there's another way to do it, another way to
be it, another way to see it.
Speaker 2 (53:27):
You don't have to debauch yourself.
Speaker 1 (53:29):
You don't have to allow your name to be drug
through the mind. There's a way that you can do
this and do it with integrity. You gotta be the difference.
The collective expression, the collective expression of His essence, is
(53:50):
when we allow ourselves to be made and then said, sing, sing,
and f diferent sand like sanding s and s
I was in Genesis one, and as I was looking
in Genesis one, I couldn't help but notice that the
creation story in Genesis one is a story told in
a pattern about patterns. The Oxford Dictionary defines the pattern
(00:32):
as a repeated decorative design or an example for.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Others to follow.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
So when we look at Genesis one, there is a
literary structure somewhere between poetry and prose that tells us
a story but uses a rhythmic pattern. Not only is
the story told in this rhythmic pattern, but the creation
itself is a pattern being created. And this pattern that
(01:03):
is being created is an example for every other day
to follow. So when God makes the seas, he's creating
a pattern, and that pattern is how the sea is
going to function, not just on Creation day, but for
every day after it. It is a pattern inside of
a pattern. It's really interesting because when we start off
(01:26):
Genesis one and it says in the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth, it really is just a
simplified explanation of an elaborate pattern that God put together.
Thank God for astronomy, we have a little bit more
insight into what God created When he created the heavens
and the Earth. What we know now is that when
(01:47):
God created the Earth, he put the Earth on an axis.
And when the Earth is on the axis, it's spinning.
And then not only is it spinning on that axis,
but it is rotating three plan.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
And it's from the Sun in orbit.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So when we talk about God creating the heavens and
the Earth, what we're saying is that God really created
a pattern for the Earth, and that pattern is that
the Earth will be on this axis, it'll orbit around
the Sun, it'll be inside of the galaxy that is
one hundred thousand light years in diameter and over ten
thousand light years thick.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
And that pattern.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Has not changed, because when God creates a pattern, he
doesn't change his mind. That pattern that he created when
he created the heavens and the Earth is still the
pattern that we are.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Standing in right now.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
All throughout Genesis one, we see this pattern over and
over again, the pattern in the text, but also the
pattern in what God creates. When I was studying, I
recognize that the pattern goes a little something like this,
God speaks it. If he speaks, to obeys, or responds,
(03:04):
God sees it, or evaluates it, then God confirms that
it's good.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Let's look at Genesis one.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
When we look at Genesis one, chapter three through four,
then God said, God said it, let there be light.
And there was light. It responds, and God saw the light.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That it was good. God saw the light.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
He sees it, He evaluates it, and then he determines
that it was good.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
That's that pattern.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
God speaks it, It responds, God evaluates it. God says
it's good. The same thing happens again in Genesis one.
I think it's verse nine. We see God says it,
It responds.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Once it responds.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
God evaluates it, and God then says it's good. Genesis
one nine, it says, then God said, let the waters
under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and
let the dry land appear.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And it was so. God set it. It was so.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
God called the dryland earth, and the gatherings together of
the water he called seas. And God saw it, and
it was good. That dryland is still called earth today,
and the gathering of the water is still called the
seas today, because that pattern hasn't changed. When God creates
a pattern, he doesn't change his mind. Genesis one, verse eleven,
(04:29):
God said, let the earth bring forth grass, the earth
that yields seas and the fruit trees that yields fruit
according to his kind, and who seed is in itself
and on the earth.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And it was so God set it. It was so
the earth brought forth.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
It responded, It responded to what God said. Then God
sees it and says that it's good. Grass is still growing,
trees are still producing fruit. Because when God sets a
pattern in motion, he doesn't change his mind. When God
speaks a word Isaiah fifty five, let's uys know that
(05:05):
the word will not return into him void, but it
will accomplish.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
That for which it was sent to do.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
It says, it's going to prosper because when I speak
a word, that thing must be executed. And it's not
that it just must be executed. I've gotta call it good.
God doesn't just speak a thing and then move on.
God says, I got to make sure that what I
spoke is what I see, and what I see has
got to be good.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
That's a word for.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Somebody, because I want you to understand that God's pattern
is to make sure that everything lands on good. That's
why people say, if it's not good, it ain't over,
because when God gets finished, it's God to be good.
He's going to cause all things to work together for
the good.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
He said it in the Old Testament.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
He says it again in the New Testament because his
people need to understand that part of my pattern.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Is to make sure it turns out good.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I got a pattern. Great is thy faithfulness. I got
a pattern. Sometimes you just sing the song, but then
there comes a moment when you know the song to
be true. Because every time I thought that what I
was looking at was gonna be bad, some kind of way,
it ended up on good. There's no reason why some
of us should even be in this room, but for
(06:22):
some reason, God kept making sure that it landed on good.
I didn't do everything the right way. I don't know
all of the right people. There's no reason you should
even be jealous of me, honey, because the same God
that did it for me, I know he can do
it for you. There ain't nothing special about me. It's
just the way that God works.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
He has a way.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Of making sure that everything lands on good. If it
ain't good, it ain't over. I want you to prophesy
to somebody. Just nudge them and say if it ain't good,
it ain't over. If it ain't good, it ain't over.
I know you may be in the midst of a struggle,
but I want you to know that if it ain't good,
it ain't over. I want you to understand that if
God is in it and it's still bad, then God
(07:04):
is not finished because he doesn't know how to stop
on bad. He doesn't know how to stop or I
spoke it. He makes sure that what I spoke becomes
what I see, and that what I see it becomes good. Oh,
I feel my help coming. I have a God who
checks his results. I have a God who doesn't just
(07:26):
speak it and move on. He's spoken ten years ago.
If it hasn't happened yet, don't give up, because he
doesn't leave you with what he spoke to you.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
He makes sure that what I spoke becomes what you saw.
That's a good word.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I like that because sometimes I start struggling when things
start looking bad, and then I start thinking that God's
left me, and I started thinking that God's moved on
to somebody else because I see somebody else situation turning
out for good, and I see somebody else's relationships working
out for good. And I think to myself, God, I
(08:07):
thank you forgot about me. But God has a pattern.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
God.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
See, if I was just working with a random God,
i'd be a little concerned. But because I know how
my God works, I understand that if it is not good,
then God is gonna evaluated.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Kane, why are you upset?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
If you do not go back, well, I then not
find this sacrifice and call it worthy. Don't give up
just because what I evaluated doesn't look like what I wanted.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I'm gonna give you another chance. I don't know who
this is.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
For, but I want you to understand that if God
didn't say it was good, it doesn't mean that God
doesn't still want to work.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
With you to get it to good. You may have
messed up in your past.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
But if you're still here, I need you to understand
that your being here is a sign that it can
still get to good. God says, I'll teach you. God says,
I'll show you how to do it. God says, don't
worry about what anyone else did. I know how to evaluate.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Your results and get your results to good. Oh. I
thank you. Yeah. God's word. It has a pattern. He
(09:28):
announces it, executes it evaluates it. It's good.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
You're gonna get a word today. Maybe you've already been
walking around with a word. Your job is to make
sure that you execute on the word God has given you.
And then it's not enough to execute, then you got
to submit yourself a living sacrifice.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
You gotta say.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
God, I did the best that I could. But I'm
also offering myself up for evaluation because if there's anything
in me that is keeping good from coming out of me,
I want you to fix it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I want you to convince me. I want you to
change me.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I want you to transform me because I know you
got to get to good and I want.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
To get to where you going.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So if there's something in me that's not good enough,
I thank God for the Holy Spirit that you will
change me and transform me until I can get to
good with you.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
We are.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
The only creation in Genesis one that doesn't look like
what God started in the creation story. Genesis one says
that we're gonna be made in the image of God.
Oh I wish I hadn't. I'm gonna turn to it anyway, amen.
(10:57):
Genesis one twenty says I got a real Bible because
I'm saved, saved y'all got digital bibles. That's the starter kit.
I brought my real Bible. Can I tell y'all about
this Bible and then I'll get back to my message.
I won this Bible vacation Bible School in nineteen ninety
six here at the Potter's house, and then I lost
(11:19):
it because I didn't care about it. Then one day
I was divorced, and then my parents' house, single mom,
two kids, and I was cleaning out on their closet. Say,
look at this Bible from ninety six. I think I'm
gonna read it. Here I am with my ninety six
(11:40):
Bible like I'm super saved, like I had it the
whole time. Oh, because sometimes when God do something in
your life, it'll look like you had it.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
The whole time.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Oh yeah, we're gonna have fun today. I feel it
in my spirit. This chapter one, verse twenty six. He said,
So God created men in his own image, and in
the image of God. He created him male and female.
He created them. Then God bless them, and God send
them be fruitful multiply. I feel the earth, and so
do it have dominion over the fish of the sea,
(12:15):
of the birds of the air, and over every living
thing that moves on the earth. And God said, see,
I have given you everything that I created.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I gave it to you. He creates man.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
He looks at everything he created, he evaluates it, and
he says that it's good. But we don't look like
that pattern that God created in Genesis one. Some of
us should have dominion over things that have dominion over us.
(12:50):
Some of us are letting things rule over us that
we should be ruling over. Why is it that we
don't look like that pattern that God created in Genesis one?
Because in Genesis three, the serpent comes in and Satan
(13:11):
understands that it is to his benefit for him to
rule over us as opposed to us ruling over him.
And so the serpent recognizes that if I want to
change this outcome, I have to change the pattern.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
God help me.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
If I want to change the outcome of them having
dominion and them subduing, then I have to change the pattern.
You want to break generational curses, and all you look
at is the outcome. But if you want to change
the generational curse, you have to be willing to look
at the pattern that creates the curse in the first place.
(13:59):
The serpent understands that my best shot is changing the pattern,
and so Satan introduces his own pattern. Oh, if you
take notes, I want you to write this down, because
this is the same.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Pattern that he uses today.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It starts with a question, did God really say, oh,
look at the juxtaposition. In God's pattern, it starts off
with a declaration, it starts off with an announcement. In
the Enemy's pattern, he questions the announcement. Did God really say, ooh.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I feel my help coming.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Did God really say that you couldn't eat from this fruit?
Did God really say that you were going to be
the one? Did God really say that it was possible
for you to do the thing that God said you
could do? And now, where you should have had a word,
where you moved into exec you've moved into confusion. And
(15:06):
God's pattern, we go from announcement to execution. In the
Enemy's pattern, we go from question to confusion.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Now I'm confused about what God said.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Now I'm confused, and so I can't execute immediately because
now I got to figure out maybe the timing was wrong,
Maybe it wasn't for me, Maybe he was talking to
someone else. Maybe it's not my time. Maybe I heard him,
but maybe I mishurt him, maybe it was for someone else.
And now I have confusion when I should have had execution.
(15:49):
He questions, Then you're confused, and now you're executing from
a place of confusion.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Eve the woman says.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
She looks at the fruit, and she sees that it's
one desires to make one wise, and now she's executing
from a place of confusion. Sometimes that's executing from a
place of confusion.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Is not necessarily what we do.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Sometimes that's executing from a place of confusion is that
we do nothing at all, and when we should have
been responding, when we should have been obeying, Now we're
executing procrastination. Now we're operating in disobedience. Now we are
(16:42):
in sin, which that Greek word means hermity. It means
to miss the mark, which means when I should have
been executing, I'm doing nothing at all, and I.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Have missed the mark.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I have sinned against God because I didn't execute the
thing that he told me to do. I allowed my
confusion to stand in the way of my execution.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
And now I'm isolated.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I'm separated because the moment she eats from this fruit,
she's separated from God, because when we miss the mark,
when we sin, when we're disobedient, we always separate ourselves
from God. And so now this is the pattern that
humanity is stuck in between. I'm stuck in between God's
(17:29):
pattern of announcing, executing, evaluating, and saying it's good and
the enemy's pattern of question, confusion, execution, and isolation. I'm
stuck between two patterns. Has anybody ever been stuck in
(17:50):
between two patterns?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I know y'all real.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Super saved, so you're probably watching online because everyone in
here is really on God. But me and you and
the people watching online, we know what it's like to
be stuck between two patterns. Where I want to be faithful,
but I never had an example. I'm stuck between two
patterns where I want to stop drinking, but I can't
stop drinking because I keep needing this escape. I'm stuck
(18:17):
between two patterns. I want my marriage to have a
different outcome, but my marriage is stuck between two patterns.
You yell, I shut down, and now we can't have
no healing. I'm stuck between two patterns. I want to
save the money, but I'm stuck between two patterns.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I want to fix my heart, but I'm stuck between
two patterns. I want to have a.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Handle over less, but I'm sucked between two patterns. I
want to think, write, and have my mind clear, but
I'm sucked between two patterns. I'm sucked between two patterns. God,
why is it that I can't do the thing that
I want to do? Is what Paul said, Because I'm
sucked between two patterns. There's a law on the inside
of my body, and that law is sinning. I'm stuck
(18:58):
between two patterns that I hope I want to do,
I don't do.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I'm stuck between two patterns.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Firehouse, I want you to know that you're not the
only people stuck between two patterns. That is, grown folks
in this room, stuck between two patterns.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I want you to understand that you're not.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
The only one that knows that I should do right
and I shouldn't talk like that and I shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Think like that.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
But it's hard for me to break that pattern because
I'm stuck between two patterns. Older generation, we have a
responsibility to the upcoming generation to let them know you're
not the only one to.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Be stuck between two patterns.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
But thanks be unto God who always causes us to triumph.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, I'm stuck.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Between two patterns. Paul says, I find this law at work.
Although I want to do good. I want to do good.
I want to be in the pattern that lands on good.
I want that. I want my heart to be pure.
(20:17):
I want my mind to be pure. I want to
be focused. I want to land on good. But every
time I want to do that, Evil is right there
with me. It won't even give me a running chance.
Evil is right there with me.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
In my inner being.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
God delight in God's law. But I can see that
there's another law at work in me. I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
It's waging war. Oh.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I want to talk to somebody who's got a war
waging on the inside of them. There's a war waging
on the inside of me, inside of my mind, and
it's making me a prison. I want to talk to
somebody who.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Is a prisoner. I have a pattern.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I want to talk to somebody who feels stuck in
the same cycle over and over again. I can't get
my head right, I can't get my money right, I
can't get my family right.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I'm stuck in a pattern. And I want to take you.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
To Verse twenty five, Oh God, I feel my help coming.
Paul says, thanks feed of God who delivers me. No, no, no,
let me take it to twenty four. Twenty four says
what a wretched man I am?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Who will rescue me from.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
This body that is subject to death? Where am I
gonna get my help from? Who's gonna help me? Who's
gonna deliver me? How do I get out of this pattern?
And verse twenty five says thanks feed of God who
delivers me Jesus Christ, our Lord. So then I am
(22:03):
myself and my mind am a slave to God's law,
but in my sinful nature a slave to the law
of sin. But thanks be to God who delivers me.
Why does Paul say, thanks be to God who delivers me.
I'm stuck between two patterns, but for some reason, Jesus
delivers us from this back and forth, this pattern of
(22:26):
being stuck between two different ways of being. Because Paul
understands covenant, God help me. Because Paul understands covenant. Paul
understands that I can be stuck between two patterns by myself.
(22:46):
But because I am in covenant with Jesus that which
I cannot do on my own, I got back up
in Jesus to get the job done. Oh y'all, I
feel like preaching in this help. I need you to
turn me up into monitors because I don't want to
lose my voice. Halfway through this message, Paul says, because
I am in covenant with Jesus, it won't be by
(23:08):
my might, it won't be by my power, but by
the spirit, says God, that I'm going to be able
to be delivered from these two patterns. I need you
to understand the power of covenant. The power of covenant
means that that what you cannot do in your own strength,
because you are in covenant with God. If you turn
(23:30):
to God and say, God, I don't want to be
stuck in this pattern anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
And I tried it in.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
My own strength, but God, I need some help that
Jesus says, that's what I came for. I came that
you would be delivered from sin. I came that you would.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Be delivered from destruction.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I came that depression would have to back up off
with you. I came so that anxiety would have to
leave you alone. I am in covenant with God. You think,
having Jesus in your heart, it's about being a good
judgmental Christian.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
No baby.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
When I got Jesus, I got back up in the spirit.
When I got Jesus, I got just prayed prayers that
I couldn't pray.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
On my own. I couldn't even come to the Throne
of Grace.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
But because of Jesus, I can do things that I
shouldn't be able to do because I am in covenant
with God. I'm in covenant with God. When you're in
covenant with God, no weapon form to get you will
prosper when you are in covenant with God. Though he
slay me, yet shall I trust in him. When you
(24:37):
are in covenant with God, He'll make your enemies your footstool.
When you are in covenant with God, He'll cover you
even when you made a mistake. When you are in
covenant with God, demon start trembling.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
When you are in covenant.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
With God, generational patterns are broken. It ain't nothing but
a covenant baby. It ain't nothing but a covenant baby.
I am in covenant with God. How do I know
the child is gonna be saved? Because I've never seen
the righteous forsaken. You're their seed begging for bread.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I am in covenant with God. Covenant. He's a covenant
keeping God.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I'm in covenant, and Covenant gives me access to power,
and Covenant helps me to tell Sin you got to
leave me alone. Covenant is gonna break the addiction. Covenant
is gonna save the family. Covenant is gonna change your name.
(25:44):
Covenant is gonna prepare you for the flood. Covenant is
gonna do.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
You like Abraham and move you into new territory.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
You're gonna get out of your father's house and into
a land that he will show you because I'm in
covenant with God. When you're in covenant with God, you
start doing things that don't make sense to other people.
But my covenant ain't none of your business. I'm in
covenant with God. I move where he tells me to move.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I speak what he tells me to speak. Covenant.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
What have you looking for? Coliath Covenant? What have you
talking to a burning bush?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Covenant? What have your partying or at sea? Covenant? What
have you moved to Dallas, Texas? Covenant? What have you
on in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
In South of Africa watching online? Because I'm in covenant
with God. I had to get up this morning I'm
in covenant with God.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I had to break up with you. I'm in covenant
with God. I had to go to therapy.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I'm in covenant with God. I'm in covenant. I'm in covenant.
I paid my time on the first and the fifteenth,
cause baby, I ain't got time to be playing. Everything
in my house is in covenant with God. You better
watch your mouth when you're talking to me. My mouth
isn't covenant with God. My mind isn't covenant with God.
(27:12):
Don't forget the covenant. Don't forget the covenant, that you're
not in it on your own, that all of the
Heaven's resources back up covenant. A thousand may fall on
my right side, ten thousand may follow on the other.
But I'm gonna be okay because I'm in I'm in
(27:37):
covenant with God. Christine Kane, she's one of my favorite
women preachers. And Christine Kane talks about having a cancer
(27:58):
skin and I love her so much. And she told
me she told a room full of people, so I'm
not telling her business. She said that by the time
she got finished talking to God that she was wanting
to be healed in her body. But she also realized
that because she's in covenant with God. Even if the
(28:21):
doctor's report doesn't change, she gonna be okay because she's
in covenant with God. I want to talk to somebody
who refuses to believe the report.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Of the doctor. Because I'm in covenant with God.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Either I live or I have everlasting life, but death
is not an option because I'm in covenant with God.
The bank can tell me no, but they can't kill
my purpose because my purpose.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Is in covenant with God.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I may have to restructure, i may have to move,
but I'm in covenant with God and.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
He will perform his word.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
He doesn't know how to do it, how to abandon
his word. He doesn't know how to give up on
his covenant. We give up. He doesn't know how to
do that. So I don't lean into my own understanding
because I'm in covenant with God. I'm a crowd at night,
(29:28):
but joy is coming in the morning because I'm in
covenant with God.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
It don't mean life doesn't hurt.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
It just means that I serve a God that's gonna
get me the good because I'm in covenant with God.
Oh God, I wish I could say this real good.
Being in covenant with God doesn't mean that I'm always
going to feel prosperous. I can downsize and ste you'll
(30:00):
be in covenant with God because being in covenant with
God is about where my spirit.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Is, not where my resources are.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
When you have the source, it doesn't matter what your
resources are. Because I'm in covenant with God, I can
do all things through Christ, who strengthens me in the
context of my whole life can change, My whole world
can change. It could be turned upside down. But I'm
gonna be good because I'm in covenant. I don't know
(30:37):
who you are about. I hear God saying you need
to get back to covenant. Poor little Serpent in Genesis three,
thinking that he has usurped authority over God's pattern, not
(30:57):
recognizing that covenant breaks the curse, not recognizing that they're
in Genesis three when he thinks he has exercised his
pattern and thwart to humanity is a promise that the
seed of the woman is going to crush his head.
(31:18):
There's a covenant buried in the curse. Covenant is the
pattern that God uses after what happens in the garden
with Abraham, with Moses, with Jacob, with David. He uses covenant.
(31:44):
That's the new pattern.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
This is covenant. So when we enter the New Testament.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
We see that he's working out a new covenant, this
blood Covenant. Oh God help me, Jesus says, I am
the Covenant. I am the Blood Covenant, the new Covenant.
I know you heard about God making covenant with other men,
(32:12):
but now the new covenant is that whosoever believes in
Me shall not perish but have everlasting life.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I am the new Covenant.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
So we have Jesus, the new Covenant, who is creating
a pattern for all of us to follow. Oh God
help me. Jesus is the pattern that we're to follow.
But he's also making patterns.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Through the disciples.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Oh God, I'm gonna take my time because I won't
to mess it up. Jesus, our new Covenant calls twelve
disciples together. I'm gonna give you insight, he says to
the disciples on what God is doing in the earth,
(33:12):
because when you're in covenant with God, you get information
first that other people can't even understand. I can tell
you was off. God just dropped it in my spirit.
I'm in covenant with God. You ain't lived until God
drops something in your spirit.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
That's how you know.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
He says to the disciples, follow me, and I will
make you fishers and men.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Okay, that's a new pattern. That's a new pattern.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
This new Covenant lays out a new pattern that everyone
is to follow from this day forward. If you believe
in me, this is your pattern. Follow me and I
will make you fishers of men.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Step one in.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
The pattern, follow me, follow me, just follow me. Just
be in the atmosphere where I am inconvenience yourself to
be where I am. Be willing to leave your familiar
to be where I am be willing to break out
(34:28):
of your cycle, to be where I am. I'm telling
you follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
And some people they did. They followed him.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
But then there's this next step of the pattern where
he says, and I will make you. Uh oh, can
I tell you a secret. Some people come to church
and they follow them, But people who are in relationship
don't just follow. They let you Jesus make them.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
If you could have seen the person you sit next to.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Before you was sitting next to him, you would know
that he's a miracle work in God.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
I didn't just get to where I am. He made
me into this.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Maybe there was a time I would have crushed you
and slapped you, but he made me into this. There
was a time when I would have lost my mind,
but he made me into this. I didn't just follow
him so that I could say I'm a cute little Christian.
I allowed him to make me. I don't think the
same way. I don't speak the same way because I
(35:45):
allowed him to make me. Jesus says, I'm gonna make
you into something if you follow me and you don't change.
You didn't follow me, because if you follow me, you
should have no choice but to be made into something else.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
If you follow me, I'm gonna make you.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I know I called you an author, and you have
no idea what an author is. But if you follow me,
I will make you into what I called you to do.
If you follow me, I won't make you into the
rooms I'm calling you to go into. If you follow me,
I will make you and to the husband you never
thought you could be. If you follow me, I won't
(36:27):
make you and to a person of integrity. If you
follow me, I won't make you walk with boldness. If
you follow me, I will show you how to humble yourself.
If you follow me, I will give you the language
you need. If you follow me, that trauma won't rule you.
If you follow me, I won't make you. I'll do
surgery on the inside. You go from being a woman
(36:50):
with the issue of blood to a woman I called daughter.
How could it be in the same text that I
started off with issues and ended in adoption. He must
have a pattern where he announces that I am whole,
and all of a sudden, I'm whole again.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
I think I mess around and I let him make me.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
I wasn't a preacher when I was growing up here,
but I started following God and he made me.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
And so what he called me for. I want to talk.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
To somebody who is being made into something new right now.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I want you to know that.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
If you get on the Potter's wheel and don't mess
around and get in the Potter's house, I'll make sure
that you are transformed. I'll make sure that you turn
into a messor that doesn't look like what.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
They went through. If you follow me, I.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Will I'll make you. Oh God, okay, I just.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I try.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Okay, Hell here, y'all know, y'all know what I love
about him?
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Is that the following and the making is not a
one time thing. Because sometimes I follow him and he
makes me on the level that I am.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
But then he calls me somewhere else, and I got
to follow.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Him somewhere I've never been before, And he says, follow me,
and I'll make you again. Follow me, and we'll go
from glory to glory to glory. Just keep following, and
now I'm gonna keep making. If you keep following, I'm
(39:25):
gonna keep making. If you keep following, even in your
latter years, I'll still.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Be making you.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Even in your former years, I'll still be making you.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
I know.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Gotta, God, God of my big age, you would cause
me to do something new. God, I don't know if
I can survive in that new arena. I don't know
if I can survive in that new industry.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
God, you would call me. Follow me.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
And I'll make you. I'll show you. I'll show you
how to quit, I'll show you how to build. I'll
show you how to let go. I'll make you the
person who doesn't even need that anymore.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Follow me.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
And I will make you. I'll make you into it,
holy and acceptable. I'll make you into it. Follow me,
I don't just call the shots. How get in the
ring with you. I'll make you into that man. I'll
(40:59):
make you into that woman. I'll make you into that.
I'll make you into it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
That word thank you Jesus. That word make In the Greek,
it means product. Follow me.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
And you will be my product. You'll be my product,
You'll be my brand. You'll be the collective essence of
my expression.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
I will make you my product.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
And I know that he does this because in Acts four,
when the disciples are speaking in the synagogues, they perceive
that they were uneducated and untrained men, and they marveled
because they realized they had been with Jesus, untrained, uneducated.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
But the product of Jesus. It was so evident that
they had been with Jesus.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
Because they looked like a product of his. I want
to be a product of Jesus, Lord. I've been a
product of my environment. I've been a product of my trump.
I've been a product of my success. I've been a
product of my hustle. I've been a product of the culture.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
I've been a product of everything else. I want to
be a product of Jesus.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
I want people to marvel when they look at me
because they see you shining through me. I want them
to say she was untrained, she was uneducated, she.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
Didn't know what she was talking about.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
But I'm still marveling at her because for some kind
of way, it looks like He speaks through her. To
be a product of Jesus is not just to speak
or preach or worship. You are the difference on your
(43:27):
work space. You are the difference in your family. You
are the difference in all of the storytellers that are
creating films and television shows you. When you are a
product of Jesus, it shows up in what God has
gifted you to do.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
This is my product, but what is yours?
Speaker 1 (43:52):
How are you different than the culture, the environment, the
paradigms of your family, your community.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Are you a product of Jesus? Have you been made new?
Speaker 1 (44:12):
When I enter this text in Matthew ten, verse sixteen,
I really wrestled with this because I saw the pattern.
Follow me and I will make you. But there was
(44:33):
this hidden next step. And this is what I think
I wrestled with in trying to study. And I think
this is where many of us get stuck, and some
of us do the following, and some of us do
the making. But in Matthew ten we see the third
(44:54):
part of this pattern.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
Is follow me. I will make you, and then I
will send you. God help me. Follow me.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
I will make you, and then I will send you.
I am not making you to keep you. I'm making
you to send you.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Ruin us the kingdom. And some of us we come
to church.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
And we follow him and we've been made new, but
we don't allow ourselves to be sent. And the Kingdom
of Heaven, which is different than Church, it's about how
we invade what happens outside of this room. It is
(45:56):
how we take the kingdoms of this world and make
them the kingdom of our Lord. It's when the ideas
and the creativity that God has placed on the inside
of us doesn't stay with us. He tells these disciples,
I'm sending you, and you are stepping into what you
(46:23):
were made for.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
Who's in this room, but I want you to understand
that maybe you're like the disciples. And this is the
part that I feel is so prophetic. And maybe it's
just my own mail, and I'm letting you read my mail.
Some of us are about to step into what we
(46:52):
have been made for.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
Now, I want you to take ten seconds and really worship.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
God, because I want you to be a product of
your worship, not a product of your fear. I want
you to be a product of the environment that has
been making you and shaping you. Because I want you
to understand that the kingdom does suffer the violence and
the violence taken by force. That there's somebody in this room.
(47:22):
And I hear God saying that is kingdom season. I
hear God saying that it is time for you to
go into territories.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
Bearing the mark of what you have been made for. Oh,
the only.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
Thing that Jesus preaches is repent, for the Kingdom of
Heaven is at hand. And when he creates these disciples,
these patterns that we are to follow.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
He wants them to do the same thing he did.
He wants them to go, not stay with yourself. But
I want to send you.
Speaker 1 (48:08):
Out first to the lost sheep of Israel. There is
a people who are scattered, and you are the.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Only one who can reach them.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
And you cannot reach them unless I send you. You
cannot change the industry unless I send you. You cannot
touch them unless I send you. And I want you
to go get the people who don't know that they
are my people yet. As I was reading this text,
(48:49):
I wandered to myself in Matthew ten, verse sixteen, and says,
Jesus tells them, behold, I send you out as sheep
in the midst of wolf. Yes, I don't know if
you've ever had God call you somewhere. We're making the
wrong move could get you eaten alive. I mean eaten alive.
(49:16):
The politics, the systems, the structures, the following in the
making part is actually the easy part. It doesn't feel
like it when you're in it, But the following in
the making, that is the easy part. The hard part
is when he sends you and now I have to
speak to people who are more educated than I am.
(49:40):
I have to change a culture that has existed in
my family for a long time. I have to be
a new pattern amongst old patterns.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
And I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
As I was reading this text, I wondered to myself,
how in the world did they not give up, How
in the world.
Speaker 2 (50:07):
Did they not tell.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
Jesus get somebody else to do that. I don't want
to be a sheep amongst wolves.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
Have to experience the danger and exposure of being the
one who speaks out of the one who do something
does something differently. I don't want to have to live
with this reality. And yet he says, still, I'm gonna
send you out, and they're gonna deliver you up to councils.
Quite literally, there are people in this room, and your
job is to go up against systems and structures that
(50:42):
have existed in this world for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
You are a sheep amongst wolves.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
To change what you want to change in your community,
to establish.
Speaker 2 (50:55):
The Kingdom of Heaven and your family. Why were a
sheep amongst woolves? How? God tell me? How?
Speaker 1 (51:05):
How do I tell them they're going to be okay?
How did the disciples know that they were gonna be okay?
Speaker 2 (51:12):
To be the difference?
Speaker 1 (51:15):
And Jesus told me, Sarah, you are underestimating what happens
in the making process. When you were in the making process, yes,
you get my spirits, Oh God help me. When you
were in the when the disciples were in the making process,
(51:39):
they received his desires.
Speaker 2 (51:42):
Oh God help me. They got a passion for the.
Speaker 1 (51:46):
Kingdom that was worth the exposure of what they were
going up against.
Speaker 2 (51:55):
When scripture says, let this mind be and you that
was also in Christ. Jesus, what we're saying.
Speaker 1 (52:00):
I want to be so focused on what you have
called me to do that it doesn't matter what danger
I am up against. I want to be desperate for
your kingdom to come, your will to be done. I
gotta be desperate for your kingdom to make the difference.
And when the disciples were in the making process, they've
(52:21):
seen the disease be healed, They've seen the sick be
made cleanse, They've seen Jesus preach good news to those
who needed it. They were desperate to see that invade
the earth. I told my husband I have a kingdom
message for those of us who go to church. This
(52:47):
kingdom message is that this cannot stay in here. It
cannot stay in you.
Speaker 2 (52:57):
What God is doing in.
Speaker 1 (52:58):
Your life, it is kingdom, and you gotta be desperate
for someone else to experience this.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
I don't care what they say about church. I don't
care what they say about religion.
Speaker 1 (53:12):
I want to know what He did inside of you,
because you gotta be desperate to see that go into
the world. You gotta to be desperate to let people
know there's another way to do it, another way to
be it, another way to see it.
Speaker 2 (53:27):
You don't have to debauch yourself.
Speaker 1 (53:29):
You don't have to allow your name to be drug
through the mind. There's a way that you can do
this and do it with integrity. You gotta be the difference.
The collective expression, the collective expression of His essence, is
(53:50):
when we allow ourselves to be made and then said, sing, sing,
and f diferent sand like sanding s and s
