Ron Carpenter | G...Mail Part 2 | June 10, 2022
- - So grateful to have you with us.
- 00:00:01.617 --> 00:00:03.152
- I'm hoping that you're about to enjoy
- 00:00:03.152 --> 00:00:05.020
- these next few minutes.
- 00:00:05.020 --> 00:00:06.288
- Don't go anywhere, lock in, maybe call a friend,
- 00:00:06.288 --> 00:00:09.024
- tell them you need to be watching. Why?
- 00:00:09.024 --> 00:00:11.026
- Because we're about to open up the word of God
- 00:00:11.026 --> 00:00:13.362
- and whenever the word of God is opened up,
- 00:00:13.362 --> 00:00:15.631
- the potential for tomorrow to change
- 00:00:15.631 --> 00:00:17.599
- is always much greater than today.
- 00:00:17.599 --> 00:00:20.102
- The word of God can show you a tomorrow so amazing
- 00:00:20.102 --> 00:00:23.072
- that it'll make you walk out of the doldrums
- 00:00:23.072 --> 00:00:25.741
- and the hurts of yesterday.
- 00:00:25.741 --> 00:00:27.509
- I want you to take this journey with me
- 00:00:27.509 --> 00:00:30.045
- every time we're here. Would you go now?
- 00:00:30.045 --> 00:00:32.247
- God bless you, I'll see you in just a minute.
- 00:00:32.247 --> 00:00:34.650
- (upbeat music)
- 00:00:34.650 --> 00:00:51.300
- - [Voiceover] Last week on Ron Carpenter Television.
- 00:00:53.902 --> 00:00:56.805
- - Jesus is the only mediator between God and man.
- 00:00:56.805 --> 00:01:00.976
- That means lawyer.
- 00:01:00.976 --> 00:01:02.478
- The Bible talks about the accuser of the brethren,
- 00:01:02.478 --> 00:01:04.813
- that's the prosecutor, he's the devil.
- 00:01:04.813 --> 00:01:07.015
- He searches your life to try to get in God's face
- 00:01:07.015 --> 00:01:10.385
- and tell God why you're not worthy
- 00:01:10.385 --> 00:01:12.321
- of your prayers being answered.
- 00:01:12.321 --> 00:01:14.223
- And say, Lord, your kingdom come, come on
- 00:01:14.223 --> 00:01:16.658
- and your will be done on the earth
- 00:01:16.658 --> 00:01:19.294
- and you become the vessel by which what God
- 00:01:19.294 --> 00:01:21.897
- wants becomes what is in the earth.
- 00:01:21.897 --> 00:01:24.600
- - [Voiceover] And now this week's message.
- 00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:27.469
- - 1 Corinthians 6.
- 00:01:27.469 --> 00:01:28.270
- Or do you not know that your body is the temple
- 00:01:29.505 --> 00:01:34.943
- of the Holy Spirit who is in you,
- 00:01:37.212 --> 00:01:39.448
- whom you have from God and you are not your own?
- 00:01:40.883 --> 00:01:49.725
- I can tell you this ain't a popular verse in today's church.
- 00:01:52.394 --> 00:01:55.330
- - [Man] Come on, man.
- 00:01:56.899 --> 00:01:58.667
- - Because all I hear is God wants you to fulfill your dreams.
- 00:01:58.667 --> 00:02:02.437
- I don't know where that Gospel came
- 00:02:03.705 --> 00:02:05.207
- because when I met Jesus he made me lay all mine down.
- 00:02:05.207 --> 00:02:08.110
- So I'm hearing a totally different Gospel
- 00:02:10.445 --> 00:02:12.314
- than I experienced.
- 00:02:12.314 --> 00:02:13.348
- - [Man] Amen.
- 00:02:13.348 --> 00:02:14.850
- - I had my plans in place, he made me take up my cross
- 00:02:14.850 --> 00:02:17.986
- and follow him, I found out this faith had a lot
- 00:02:17.986 --> 00:02:22.958
- to do with bearing crosses.
- 00:02:23.859 --> 00:02:25.394
- - [Man] Amen.
- 00:02:25.394 --> 00:02:26.662
- - Uncomfortable times, suffering and showing
- 00:02:26.662 --> 00:02:30.165
- the character of Jesus while you suffer.
- 00:02:30.165 --> 00:02:32.234
- Living and demonstrating him out in front of all people
- 00:02:33.702 --> 00:02:36.104
- when you're being attacked on every side.
- 00:02:36.104 --> 00:02:38.106
- This is a faith of crosses and bearing crosses,
- 00:02:39.508 --> 00:02:41.877
- he who saves his life will lose it.
- 00:02:41.877 --> 00:02:43.812
- He who loses it for my sake will find it, the Bible says.
- 00:02:43.812 --> 00:02:47.950
- So this God who's going to fulfill all your dreams
- 00:02:47.950 --> 00:02:49.952
- and fulfill all your desires and you need to go,
- 00:02:49.952 --> 00:02:52.454
- okay, I get what they're trying to say
- 00:02:52.454 --> 00:02:54.456
- and I see all the kids are hollering and shouting,
- 00:02:54.456 --> 00:02:56.858
- but nobody's come to the cross and said,
- 00:02:56.858 --> 00:02:59.228
- not my will.
- 00:02:59.228 --> 00:03:01.797
- - [Man] Jesus.
- 00:03:03.699 --> 00:03:04.499
- - But thy will be done, these are foreign concepts.
- 00:03:06.435 --> 00:03:10.539
- - [Man] Amen.
- 00:03:10.539 --> 00:03:12.007
- - I even see some of you in here, looking at me like
- 00:03:12.007 --> 00:03:16.678
- man crosses and blood and suffering
- 00:03:17.846 --> 00:03:19.314
- and I didn't sign up for this, I signed up for blessing.
- 00:03:19.314 --> 00:03:22.451
- Sometime the blessing is in the suffering.
- 00:03:22.451 --> 00:03:24.386
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:03:24.386 --> 00:03:29.625
- Can I go deeper?
- 00:03:31.526 --> 00:03:32.461
- Tell me yes, if I can go deeper.
- 00:03:32.461 --> 00:03:33.795
- - [Congregation] Yes.
- 00:03:33.795 --> 00:03:35.631
- - Now, I can't preach that.
- 00:03:35.631 --> 00:03:40.602
- (congregation murmuring)
- 00:03:41.637 --> 00:03:45.007
- - Are you enjoying it?
- 00:03:46.508 --> 00:03:47.943
- - [Congregation] Yes.
- 00:03:47.943 --> 00:03:49.111
- - If you're enjoying it say, amen.
- 00:03:49.111 --> 00:03:49.911
- - [Congregation] Amen.
- 00:03:49.911 --> 00:03:50.846
- - You're bored say, amen.
- 00:03:50.846 --> 00:03:51.647
- - [Congregation] Amen.
- 00:03:51.647 --> 00:03:53.148
- (congregation giggling)
- 00:03:53.148 --> 00:04:04.493
- - All, right, I'm going to suffer through that
- 00:04:06.928 --> 00:04:10.699
- and show the character of Jesus. Hallelujah.
- 00:04:13.135 --> 00:04:17.205
- This is going to push some of you just a little bit,
- 00:04:19.808 --> 00:04:22.344
- but let me push Luke 17:20-21.
- 00:04:22.344 --> 00:04:28.717
- Now, when Jesus was asked by the Pharisees,
- 00:04:31.119 --> 00:04:33.422
- when the kingdom of God would come, he answered and said,
- 00:04:33.422 --> 00:04:35.724
- the kingdom does not come with observation,
- 00:04:35.724 --> 00:04:37.959
- nor will they say see here or see there for indeed
- 00:04:40.495 --> 00:04:43.598
- the kingdom of God is within you.
- 00:04:43.598 --> 00:04:48.770
- The kingdom of God is within you.
- 00:04:51.039 --> 00:04:54.443
- You have something heavenly and eternal living
- 00:04:55.777 --> 00:05:00.215
- on the inside of you.
- 00:05:00.215 --> 00:05:02.084
- Now here's where I'm going to push you a little bit,
- 00:05:02.084 --> 00:05:03.785
- but you've got to hear me read your Bible,
- 00:05:03.785 --> 00:05:05.721
- follow it with me.
- 00:05:05.721 --> 00:05:06.822
- Jesus is the centerpiece of all humanity.
- 00:05:07.923 --> 00:05:11.660
- I had a guy out in the Bay area a while back,
- 00:05:13.495 --> 00:05:16.365
- tons of atheists and stuff out there and he said,
- 00:05:16.365 --> 00:05:19.034
- my accent gets me so many conversations,
- 00:05:19.034 --> 00:05:22.571
- but I mean, I go up there and give them my debit card,
- 00:05:24.039 --> 00:05:25.407
- where are you from?
- 00:05:25.407 --> 00:05:26.308
- So here we go, you know?
- 00:05:27.209 --> 00:05:29.544
- Then he said, oh really a minister, yeah,
- 00:05:30.679 --> 00:05:32.647
- He said, I really don't believe in Jesus.
- 00:05:32.647 --> 00:05:34.916
- I said, really?
- 00:05:34.916 --> 00:05:35.951
- I said, what year is it?
- 00:05:35.951 --> 00:05:37.152
- He said 2022. I said 2022 after what?
- 00:05:37.152 --> 00:05:42.591
- I said, you even mark your calendar by the Jesus
- 00:05:45.127 --> 00:05:47.396
- you don't believe in.
- 00:05:47.396 --> 00:05:48.330
- - [Man] There you go.
- 00:05:48.330 --> 00:05:49.197
- (congregation clapping)
- 00:05:49.197 --> 00:05:50.932
- - I said it's 2022 years after the death of Jesus Christ
- 00:05:50.932 --> 00:05:54.870
- and everything before that is known as BC.
- 00:05:54.870 --> 00:05:56.938
- I said, because the one you say you don't believe in
- 00:05:58.540 --> 00:06:00.342
- is the centerpiece of time.
- 00:06:00.342 --> 00:06:01.510
- - [Man] Come on, man.
- 00:06:01.510 --> 00:06:02.511
- - I don't know, I just do things like that,
- 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:05.414
- I like doing that and I was so quick with it too.
- 00:06:05.414 --> 00:06:06.281
- Hallelujah.
- 00:06:06.281 --> 00:06:11.253
- (congregation laughing and some clapping)
- 00:06:12.421 --> 00:06:15.457
- You see what I'm talking about?
- 00:06:15.457 --> 00:06:16.691
- So, when you're talking about Jesus,
- 00:06:16.691 --> 00:06:22.764
- Jesus never came to bring you Jesus
- 00:06:25.066 --> 00:06:28.036
- and his intent was to never stay, that's why he left.
- 00:06:29.604 --> 00:06:36.111
- Jesus came to bring a kingdom.
- 00:06:38.280 --> 00:06:41.249
- - [Man] Yes, he did.
- 00:06:41.249 --> 00:06:42.517
- - So Jesus was the box and the wrapping paper.
- 00:06:42.517 --> 00:06:45.821
- He was not the prize.
- 00:06:46.888 --> 00:06:48.457
- - [Man] Come on, man.
- 00:06:48.457 --> 00:06:50.058
- - He was the box carrying the prize.
- 00:06:50.058 --> 00:06:52.594
- The prize was the kingdom,
- 00:06:53.728 --> 00:06:55.197
- the kingdom is the pearl of great price.
- 00:06:55.197 --> 00:06:57.732
- (congregation clapping and cheering)
- 00:06:59.067 --> 00:07:02.971
- And you don't cast pearls before swine.
- 00:07:02.971 --> 00:07:05.740
- You don't cast kingdom keys and kingdom access
- 00:07:07.375 --> 00:07:11.012
- to people who do not value it.
- 00:07:11.012 --> 00:07:12.547
- - [Man] Come on man.
- 00:07:12.547 --> 00:07:13.782
- - And I can step in a church and know when
- 00:07:13.782 --> 00:07:15.517
- I don't need to preach the kingdom because nobody
- 00:07:15.517 --> 00:07:18.086
- in there values what God is doing.
- 00:07:18.086 --> 00:07:20.489
- So I just hold my pearls, preach something else. Hallelujah.
- 00:07:20.489 --> 00:07:25.360
- I feel the holy ghost right now, I feel the weight of this.
- 00:07:27.028 --> 00:07:29.598
- I feel it in the air, I can feel it.
- 00:07:29.598 --> 00:07:31.700
- We're cutting through stuff right now.
- 00:07:31.700 --> 00:07:33.001
- Somebody just give God praise.
- 00:07:33.001 --> 00:07:34.236
- We're cutting through stuff right now.
- 00:07:34.236 --> 00:07:36.137
- My house shall be called a house of prayer
- 00:07:36.137 --> 00:07:40.275
- and we going to raise up some priests that know
- 00:07:40.275 --> 00:07:42.878
- how to access heavenly places.
- 00:07:42.878 --> 00:07:44.713
- Take five seconds and give the Lord your God praise.
- 00:07:44.713 --> 00:07:47.516
- I feel something stirring in the atmosphere,
- 00:07:47.516 --> 00:07:50.418
- I feel something happening right now.
- 00:07:50.418 --> 00:07:53.388
- Shout Hallelujah.
- 00:07:53.388 --> 00:07:56.825
- Shout Hallelujah, my God.
- 00:07:55.190 --> 00:07:59.261
- All right, I got to hurry.
- 00:07:59.261 --> 00:08:00.762
- I got to hurry, I got to hurry. I got to hurry.
- 00:08:00.762 --> 00:08:03.665
- Thank you Jesus.
- 00:08:05.567 --> 00:08:06.868
- Can I have nine more minutes?
- 00:08:06.868 --> 00:08:08.270
- Nine more minutes.
- 00:08:10.105 --> 00:08:11.773
- So 11:41, give me nine more minutes
- 00:08:11.773 --> 00:08:14.075
- and at nine minutes from now, I'll do my first closing.
- 00:08:14.075 --> 00:08:16.745
- (congregation laughing)
- 00:08:16.745 --> 00:08:20.515
- The treasure was the kingdom so listen,
- 00:08:22.884 --> 00:08:25.287
- the treasure was the Holy Spirit.
- 00:08:26.288 --> 00:08:28.089
- The Holy Spirit is the governor of the kingdom.
- 00:08:29.925 --> 00:08:32.427
- - [Man] Yes, he is.
- 00:08:32.427 --> 00:08:35.263
- - In your head are the keys in your heart is the governor.
- 00:08:37.933 --> 00:08:41.136
- - [Man] Come on man.
- 00:08:41.136 --> 00:08:42.103
- - So I have to come to the cross say,
- 00:08:43.338 --> 00:08:45.140
- not my will, but thine be done and then I have
- 00:08:45.140 --> 00:08:47.175
- to renew my mind because if I am now not my own,
- 00:08:47.175 --> 00:08:52.247
- then I am now given to whatever God's purpose
- 00:08:54.716 --> 00:08:57.619
- is in the earth.
- 00:08:57.619 --> 00:08:58.620
- - [Man] That's right.
- 00:08:58.620 --> 00:08:59.888
- - So I don't get to do what Ron wants to do.
- 00:08:59.888 --> 00:09:02.390
- Somebody said, why did you do this?
- 00:09:03.658 --> 00:09:05.260
- What did you and I look at him and say,
- 00:09:05.260 --> 00:09:06.461
- you look at me like I had a choice.
- 00:09:06.461 --> 00:09:08.930
- I'm going over here, I felt no love.
- 00:09:11.232 --> 00:09:13.902
- I felt zero love, but I'll come back
- 00:09:13.902 --> 00:09:15.704
- and give you another chance.
- 00:09:15.704 --> 00:09:17.372
- I preach to the love wherever the love is,
- 00:09:19.774 --> 00:09:21.710
- I got any love of it.
- 00:09:21.710 --> 00:09:22.911
- (congregation cheering)
- 00:09:22.911 --> 00:09:26.281
- So Jesus is the box and he brings in the treasure.
- 00:09:26.281 --> 00:09:33.421
- God always wanted to dwell in people,
- 00:09:35.724 --> 00:09:38.026
- he didn't want to dwell in a tent,
- 00:09:38.026 --> 00:09:39.394
- he didn't want to dwell in a building.
- 00:09:39.394 --> 00:09:41.129
- He always wanted to dwell in people,
- 00:09:42.931 --> 00:09:44.566
- but the problem is the thing that God hates
- 00:09:44.566 --> 00:09:46.968
- God inside the thing that he loves.
- 00:09:46.968 --> 00:09:49.104
- - [Man] Come on man.
- 00:09:49.104 --> 00:09:50.705
- - God hates sin, God loves people.
- 00:09:50.705 --> 00:09:53.742
- So God's challenge is the thing that he hates
- 00:09:53.742 --> 00:09:56.378
- got inside the thing he loves and he can't move
- 00:09:56.378 --> 00:09:59.214
- in the thing he loves and have a co-occupancy
- 00:09:59.214 --> 00:10:01.950
- with the thing he hates.
- 00:10:01.950 --> 00:10:03.118
- So God's plan was I'm going to send my son to deal
- 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:08.857
- with the thing that I hate so that I can move
- 00:10:08.857 --> 00:10:11.660
- into the thing that I love.
- 00:10:11.660 --> 00:10:14.129
- That's why when Jesus went back to the Father,
- 00:10:14.129 --> 00:10:16.931
- the first thing he said is tally till the Holy Spirit,
- 00:10:16.931 --> 00:10:19.534
- the promised gift of the Father has come upon you.
- 00:10:19.534 --> 00:10:22.337
- Nobody preaches about Holy Spirit anymore.
- 00:10:22.337 --> 00:10:24.873
- Nobody sings about Holy Spirit anymore.
- 00:10:24.873 --> 00:10:27.275
- Nobody talks to the Holy Spirit anymore.
- 00:10:27.275 --> 00:10:29.678
- The only person we never talk about
- 00:10:29.678 --> 00:10:32.480
- is the only one that's still in the earth.
- 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:34.349
- - [Man] Come on, man, come on man.
- 00:10:34.349 --> 00:10:36.751
- - God is on the throne, Jesus sits in his right hand,
- 00:10:36.751 --> 00:10:39.654
- but Jesus was the Christ, he was the anointed one.
- 00:10:41.122 --> 00:10:44.059
- That means he was the one filled with the Holy Spirit.
- 00:10:44.059 --> 00:10:46.695
- Jesus the man came and died and the Bible says,
- 00:10:46.695 --> 00:10:49.898
- that he became death and he became sin for me.
- 00:10:49.898 --> 00:10:53.835
- So when Jesus hung on the cross
- 00:10:54.836 --> 00:10:56.838
- he was getting rid of the thing he hated
- 00:10:56.838 --> 00:10:59.974
- because he became it.
- 00:10:59.974 --> 00:11:01.242
- He didn't just wash it away, he was the sin of the world
- 00:11:03.411 --> 00:11:06.681
- nailed to a cross bleeding and it died and when he died,
- 00:11:06.681 --> 00:11:10.752
- all your sin died, but when he was raised up
- 00:11:10.752 --> 00:11:13.621
- on the third day, your mind got up, your family got up,
- 00:11:13.621 --> 00:11:17.192
- your marriage got up, your body got up, your spirit got up,
- 00:11:17.192 --> 00:11:21.029
- everything God has for you got up.
- 00:11:21.029 --> 00:11:22.997
- I'm about to run all over this building
- 00:11:22.997 --> 00:11:24.933
- and run down the street.
- 00:11:24.933 --> 00:11:26.701
- Somebody give God 10 seconds of praise, give him 10.
- 00:11:26.701 --> 00:11:30.405
- Come on, open your mouth and just thank God.
- 00:11:30.405 --> 00:11:33.041
- Hallelujah. My house shall be called a house of prayer.
- 00:11:33.041 --> 00:11:36.644
- You got to know what the room is when you walk into it
- 00:11:38.680 --> 00:11:41.616
- and how to approach whoever that is.
- 00:11:41.616 --> 00:11:43.718
- There is a way to approach God,
- 00:11:43.718 --> 00:11:46.020
- you enter his gates with thanksgiving.
- 00:11:46.020 --> 00:11:48.056
- Then you enter his courts with praise.
- 00:11:48.056 --> 00:11:49.791
- Then you got to tell him how great he is.
- 00:11:49.791 --> 00:11:51.459
- - [Announcer] In this series, G...mail,
- 00:11:51.459 --> 00:11:53.495
- Ron Carpenter talks, prayer.
- 00:11:53.495 --> 00:11:55.730
- You'll learn how not only to pray, but more importantly,
- 00:11:55.730 --> 00:11:58.767
- how to target your prayers to get them answered.
- 00:11:58.767 --> 00:12:01.636
- - The Bible says that Jesus when he left earth,
- 00:12:01.636 --> 00:12:04.005
- went back to heaven and he forever
- 00:12:04.005 --> 00:12:06.141
- makes intercessions for us.
- 00:12:06.141 --> 00:12:08.276
- It means he is your lawyer, he is your mediator,
- 00:12:08.276 --> 00:12:11.312
- he is your in between and he gives you the right
- 00:12:11.312 --> 00:12:14.382
- to approach the father. Hallelujah.
- 00:12:14.382 --> 00:12:16.518
- And you do him just like you did while I was with you.
- 00:12:16.518 --> 00:12:19.621
- He said, whatever you ask in my name.
- 00:12:19.621 --> 00:12:22.257

- in the middle to offer just a word of thanks.
- 00:13:08.603 --> 00:13:11.306
- I want to tell each and every one
- 00:13:11.306 --> 00:13:13.408
- who's just viewing right now, thank you.
- 00:13:13.408 --> 00:13:16.444
- You're certainly in the day of what?
- 00:13:16.444 --> 00:13:19.047
- 1100 cable channels and a phone that attaches
- 00:13:19.047 --> 00:13:22.350
- to the internet in your hand, you have options.
- 00:13:22.350 --> 00:13:25.153
- And the fact that you're here watching right now,
- 00:13:25.153 --> 00:13:27.322
- I'm so grateful and I don't take it for granted.
- 00:13:27.322 --> 00:13:29.390
- Number two, to thank those people who have supported
- 00:13:29.390 --> 00:13:31.659
- and allowed us to be on here.
- 00:13:31.659 --> 00:13:32.961
- We are viewer supported, listeners supported.
- 00:13:32.961 --> 00:13:36.231
- We didn't show any commercials, we didn't sell any ads.
- 00:13:36.231 --> 00:13:39.200
- You didn't have to watch anything come out
- 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.636
- and you didn't see Coca-Cola or you didn't see it.
- 00:13:41.636 --> 00:13:44.072
- We didn't do anything because we believe in God's people
- 00:13:44.072 --> 00:13:48.109
- that when they know the message is being preached,
- 00:13:48.109 --> 00:13:50.311
- that that cause is the greatest cause in the world.
- 00:13:50.311 --> 00:13:53.481
- And they want it to go as far as it can
- 00:13:53.481 --> 00:13:55.617
- and reach as many people as it can.
- 00:13:55.617 --> 00:13:57.252
- And that's what we hear at Ron Carpenter Ministries
- 00:13:57.252 --> 00:14:00.722
- are endeavoring to do.
- 00:14:00.722 --> 00:14:01.956
- You've been with us on a long journey,
- 00:14:01.956 --> 00:14:03.458
- many of you since 98, some of you for a few weeks,
- 00:14:03.458 --> 00:14:06.527
- but maybe you've been blessed and you've never given.
- 00:14:06.527 --> 00:14:09.664
- Would you consider making this program do what it does,
- 00:14:09.664 --> 00:14:13.635
- whether it's a one time gift
- 00:14:13.635 --> 00:14:15.036
- or you want to become a monthly partner,
- 00:14:15.036 --> 00:14:17.505
- this is the gift we'll send you to say,
- 00:14:17.505 --> 00:14:19.140
- thank you for partnering with us.
- 00:14:19.140 --> 00:14:21.542
- We hope that this partnership is a blessing
- 00:14:21.542 --> 00:14:23.745
- and I hope that every time you turn on this TV
- 00:14:23.745 --> 00:14:26.214
- and you see this program,
- 00:14:26.214 --> 00:14:28.082
- I hope that it impacts your life in a positive way.
- 00:14:28.082 --> 00:14:30.351
- Now, let's get back to the word.
- 00:14:30.351 --> 00:14:32.954
- - Christ never left the earth. It stayed in the earth
- 00:14:34.355 --> 00:14:38.660
- and it waited for another house.
- 00:14:40.094 --> 00:14:43.531
- And when they were in the upper room,
- 00:14:45.867 --> 00:14:48.002
- what used to live in a tabernacle that lived
- 00:14:49.570 --> 00:14:52.907
- in the body of Jesus now lives in the body of Christ.
- 00:14:52.907 --> 00:14:57.478
- - [Man] Come on man.
- 00:14:57.478 --> 00:14:58.947
- - The body of Christ, Christ, the body of the anointing.
- 00:14:58.947 --> 00:15:01.382
- So now that's why when we get together now that after COVID
- 00:15:02.884 --> 00:15:06.587
- people don't know if they want to get together anymore,
- 00:15:06.587 --> 00:15:09.357
- it ain't about church numbers.
- 00:15:11.526 --> 00:15:13.528
- - [Man] Come on.
- 00:15:13.528 --> 00:15:14.329
- - It's about, I'm not a representative of the anointing,
- 00:15:15.697 --> 00:15:19.300
- you're not a true representative of the anointing,
- 00:15:19.300 --> 00:15:21.502
- but when we get together.
- 00:15:21.502 --> 00:15:23.237
- (congregation applauding)
- 00:15:23.237 --> 00:15:26.374
- We become the body of the anointing
- 00:15:26.374 --> 00:15:30.078
- and when the body of the anointing gets together,
- 00:15:32.547 --> 00:15:35.750
- when the Bible says that I am supposed to equip us,
- 00:15:35.750 --> 00:15:40.722
- mature us in the faith so that we're no longer tossed
- 00:15:42.190 --> 00:15:44.625
- to and fro by every wind of doctrine and says
- 00:15:44.625 --> 00:15:47.328
- that when we reach that place of maturity,
- 00:15:47.328 --> 00:15:49.530
- we can attain the full measure of the stature of Christ.
- 00:15:49.530 --> 00:15:53.835
- - [Man] Come on, now.
- 00:15:53.835 --> 00:15:55.069
- - So as long as we're in ankle deep water
- 00:15:55.069 --> 00:15:56.537
- we never get the full measure.
- 00:15:56.537 --> 00:15:58.206
- So somebody's gotta start growing again, okay.
- 00:16:00.375 --> 00:16:03.845
- I don't know how many minutes I was supposed to have left,
- 00:16:03.845 --> 00:16:05.646
- but just give me a minute.
- 00:16:05.646 --> 00:16:07.482
- Last verse is the most powerful one, I read that right now.
- 00:16:10.151 --> 00:16:13.154
- Hebrews 5:7
- 00:16:14.088 --> 00:16:19.894
- I usually don't preach long.
- 00:16:22.030 --> 00:16:24.932
- (congregation laughing)
- 00:16:24.932 --> 00:16:31.839
- All right, Hebrews is a heavy book, I love it.
- 00:16:34.275 --> 00:16:36.644
- But I had a great teacher in my Hebrews class
- 00:16:38.413 --> 00:16:42.617
- who gave me understanding, just opening it up
- 00:16:42.617 --> 00:16:45.053
- and read it like a novel is very difficult to do,
- 00:16:45.053 --> 00:16:47.488
- but the Bible, speaking of Jesus right here,
- 00:16:49.457 --> 00:16:52.794
- says, who the days of his flesh talking about Jesus,
- 00:16:52.794 --> 00:16:56.764
- when he had offered up prayers and supplications
- 00:16:56.764 --> 00:16:59.834
- with vehement cries and tears to him who was able
- 00:17:01.436 --> 00:17:04.505
- to save him from death,
- 00:17:04.505 --> 00:17:06.274
- he was heard because.
- 00:17:07.575 --> 00:17:12.246
- So if you can be heard, that has to tell me
- 00:17:13.648 --> 00:17:16.818
- there are prayers that are not necessarily heard.
- 00:17:16.818 --> 00:17:19.420
- Because it's telling you he was heard and here's why.
- 00:17:21.989 --> 00:17:25.026
- - [Man] Yes, sir, that's right.
- 00:17:25.026 --> 00:17:26.661
- - So just because you prayed it, does not mean God heard it.
- 00:17:26.661 --> 00:17:32.233
- The Bible in Romans 12:2 talks about acceptable worship.
- 00:17:34.869 --> 00:17:38.072
- If there's acceptable worship that tells me
- 00:17:38.072 --> 00:17:40.408
- there must be unacceptable worship.
- 00:17:40.408 --> 00:17:42.143
- - [Man] Come on now.
- 00:17:42.143 --> 00:17:43.811
- - You know what I believe unacceptable
- 00:17:43.811 --> 00:17:45.580
- worship is because he doesn't define it right there
- 00:17:45.580 --> 00:17:47.415
- in Romans 12:2, but I'm going to tell you what I believe it is.
- 00:17:47.415 --> 00:17:49.684
- It's when you have to be constantly asked to give it.
- 00:17:49.684 --> 00:17:52.487
- I've used this analogy a million times,
- 00:17:54.856 --> 00:17:56.324
- when I come home from traveling or preaching
- 00:17:56.324 --> 00:17:58.626
- and we had our kids there, I didn't want them to come
- 00:17:58.626 --> 00:18:02.130
- hug me because Hope told them to,
- 00:18:02.130 --> 00:18:03.965
- all right, you're daddy's here, you need to go hug him.
- 00:18:05.399 --> 00:18:07.168
- That hug stinks, but I want them to see me drive up
- 00:18:07.168 --> 00:18:12.140
- in the driveway, drop everything and come running
- 00:18:13.541 --> 00:18:14.575
- because it's in their heart.
- 00:18:14.575 --> 00:18:15.943
- And it bothers me when I see worship leaders,
- 00:18:17.178 --> 00:18:19.113
- beg and beg and beg people to worship God.
- 00:18:19.113 --> 00:18:22.850
- Nobody, I don't even need a worship leader,
- 00:18:24.285 --> 00:18:27.021
- I am a worship leader.
- 00:18:27.021 --> 00:18:28.456
- (congregation applauding)
- 00:18:28.456 --> 00:18:30.825
- I worship in front of you and I worship
- 00:18:30.825 --> 00:18:32.860
- when none of y'all are in the room
- 00:18:32.860 --> 00:18:34.529
- and I worship the same way, and sometimes I actually dance
- 00:18:35.997 --> 00:18:39.233
- more when y'all ain't here than I do when you are here.
- 00:18:39.233 --> 00:18:41.936
- So he says he was heard and I really liked NIV
- 00:18:44.272 --> 00:18:48.009
- because of his reverence submission.
- 00:18:48.009 --> 00:18:50.711
- - [Man] Yes, sir.
- 00:18:50.711 --> 00:18:52.079
- - Reverent submission, so the Bible says,
- 00:18:53.347 --> 00:18:56.117
- he gave prayers and supplications and he was heard
- 00:18:56.117 --> 00:19:01.088
- because of his reverence submission.
- 00:19:02.456 --> 00:19:04.392
- So what have if I told you today?
- 00:19:06.060 --> 00:19:07.428
- We ain't even talked about prayer.
- 00:19:07.428 --> 00:19:08.529
- What if I told you?
- 00:19:08.529 --> 00:19:10.264
- I've told you God has raised up a kingdom of prayer.
- 00:19:10.264 --> 00:19:14.368
- That we are now his house and his house is a house of prayer
- 00:19:15.870 --> 00:19:20.408
- And now when you come to God, you are to be postured
- 00:19:21.842 --> 00:19:25.646
- in reverent submission unto God.
- 00:19:26.647 --> 00:19:29.016
- Prayers have to do with personal need,
- 00:19:31.018 --> 00:19:33.387
- this is going to sound so bad
- 00:19:34.889 --> 00:19:35.856
- but I'm going to say it anyway
- 00:19:35.856 --> 00:19:37.325
- because I'm 53 and I don't care.
- 00:19:37.325 --> 00:19:41.696
- You need to pray for yourself
- 00:19:43.831 --> 00:19:45.466
- because there's a high chance nobody else is.
- 00:19:47.101 --> 00:19:49.637
- (congregation clapping)
- 00:19:49.637 --> 00:19:56.577
- I know we say praying for you, when you walk away,
- 00:19:59.146 --> 00:20:01.649
- there's a slim chance that's gonna happen
- 00:20:01.649 --> 00:20:05.286
- because that's just a religious way to end the conversation.
- 00:20:06.721 --> 00:20:09.490
- And so I highly advocate personal prayer about yourself.
- 00:20:12.093 --> 00:20:15.496
- I hope you do pray for me, but I'm going to tell you this
- 00:20:17.365 --> 00:20:19.533
- if you don't mind, I'm not going to depend on it.
- 00:20:19.533 --> 00:20:22.470
- - [Man] That's right.
- 00:20:22.470 --> 00:20:23.304
- - [Lady] Yeah, yeah.
- 00:20:23.304 --> 00:20:24.805
- - I'm want to make sure I got some stuff going up myself.
- 00:20:24.805 --> 00:20:26.607
- Supplications means time of extended prayer
- 00:20:28.609 --> 00:20:32.179
- in the old church they called it tallying.
- 00:20:34.482 --> 00:20:37.518
- Extended prayer, this was the kind of prayer
- 00:20:39.954 --> 00:20:42.823
- when Jesus was in the garden, this is where wills are broken
- 00:20:42.823 --> 00:20:47.061
- and desires are exchanged.
- 00:20:47.061 --> 00:20:49.263
- - [Man] Come on, man.
- 00:20:49.263 --> 00:20:50.898
- - And many people never get to the place they're broken
- 00:20:50.898 --> 00:20:54.302
- and they get the heart of God because they will not extend
- 00:20:54.302 --> 00:20:57.371
- their prayer long enough for God to do that work.
- 00:20:57.371 --> 00:21:03.010
- And Jesus went into the garden and look he's humanity,
- 00:21:05.613 --> 00:21:09.784
- I don't want to do this.
- 00:21:11.052 --> 00:21:12.486
- Praying to where blood is coming out of your pores.
- 00:21:14.922 --> 00:21:18.159
- I've been in some intense moments,
- 00:21:19.360 --> 00:21:20.594
- but that's never happened.
- 00:21:20.594 --> 00:21:21.862
- And Jesus is saying, I don't want to do this.
- 00:21:23.097 --> 00:21:24.865
- And he says, is there another way?
- 00:21:24.865 --> 00:21:26.867
- Is there another, okay, is there another cup
- 00:21:29.270 --> 00:21:31.672
- I can drink from?
- 00:21:31.672 --> 00:21:32.907
- I don't want to drink this one, that's Jesus.
- 00:21:32.907 --> 00:21:35.710
- But what is he doing?
- 00:21:36.577 --> 00:21:38.379
- Heaven and earth is wrestling with the will,
- 00:21:38.379 --> 00:21:41.716
- but he comes to the place where he says,
- 00:21:41.716 --> 00:21:44.151
- if there's not another way I will renounce mine
- 00:21:44.151 --> 00:21:50.791
- to take on your desire.
- 00:21:52.827 --> 00:21:54.362
- - Amen.
- 00:21:54.362 --> 00:21:55.496
- - Renouncing mine, that's why
- 00:21:57.631 --> 00:21:59.133
- I'm getting three amens right now.
- 00:21:59.133 --> 00:22:00.601
- - [Man] Come on, now.
- 00:22:00.601 --> 00:22:01.535
- - Because that is a hard message.
- 00:22:02.837 --> 00:22:04.805
- In fact, the word, it's amazing that when you talk
- 00:22:06.273 --> 00:22:10.511
- about the word supplication, Jesus was in the garden
- 00:22:10.511 --> 00:22:13.681
- of Gethsemane and the garden of Gethsemane is filled
- 00:22:13.681 --> 00:22:16.350
- with olive trees and the word Gethsemane means,
- 00:22:16.350 --> 00:22:18.953
- place of the press and you have to press olive to get oil.
- 00:22:18.953 --> 00:22:23.924
- And so Jesus was in the place if the anointing
- 00:22:26.093 --> 00:22:28.729
- was going to get to us, he was having to be.
- 00:22:28.729 --> 00:22:32.666
- (congregation clapping)
- 00:22:32.666 --> 00:22:36.570
- And he was in the garden and God would not let him
- 00:22:36.570 --> 00:22:39.740
- do what he wanted, but he made him stay there
- 00:22:39.740 --> 00:22:44.311
- under the press so that the oil could reach us
- 00:22:44.311 --> 00:22:47.748
- and now we are the body of Christ.
- 00:22:47.748 --> 00:22:50.985
- What if I told you remember,
- 00:22:52.620 --> 00:22:56.857
- God's house is a house of prayer.
- 00:22:59.059 --> 00:23:02.263
- You have been called as a kingdom of priest
- 00:23:03.464 --> 00:23:05.766
- and God only hears the prayers that are postured out
- 00:23:07.134 --> 00:23:10.805
- of a heart that is reverent broken and submissive.
- 00:23:10.805 --> 00:23:15.342
- You don't come in his face and complain.
- 00:23:15.342 --> 00:23:18.012
- You don't come in his face and you gripe,
- 00:23:18.012 --> 00:23:19.647
- you enter his gates with thanksgiving.
- 00:23:19.647 --> 00:23:21.949
- You don't enter his gates with your problems.
- 00:23:21.949 --> 00:23:24.318
- - [Man] No you don't.
- 00:23:24.318 --> 00:23:26.287
- - [Man] Amen.
- 00:23:28.155 --> 00:23:29.390
- - You enter his gates with thanksgiving.
- 00:23:29.390 --> 00:23:32.026
- One of the next pictures I'm going to talk about
- 00:23:32.026 --> 00:23:33.594
- is the fact that the Bible says, make your petitions
- 00:23:33.594 --> 00:23:37.998
- be made known with thanksgiving.
- 00:23:37.998 --> 00:23:40.234
- - [Man] Come on now.
- 00:23:40.234 --> 00:23:41.702
- - Even when you're in a dilemma, your heart is still
- 00:23:41.702 --> 00:23:43.904
- postured in a thankful gratitude.
- 00:23:43.904 --> 00:23:45.673
- (congregation clapping)
- 00:23:45.673 --> 00:23:47.775
- I can't open any more boxes right now,
- 00:23:47.775 --> 00:23:49.677
- I've been preaching about 50 minutes.
- 00:23:49.677 --> 00:23:51.078
- Can we put our hands together?
- 00:23:51.078 --> 00:23:52.546
- You're a house of prayer,
- 00:23:53.848 --> 00:23:55.216
- you've been called to be people of prayer.
- 00:23:56.550 --> 00:23:58.052
- Yeah, come on, stand up with me all over the building.
- 00:23:58.052 --> 00:24:01.255
- I want you to turn around and tell everybody in your circle,
- 00:24:01.255 --> 00:24:03.023
- you should have about four or five people in your circle.
- 00:24:03.023 --> 00:24:04.992
- Say you are a house of prayer.
- 00:24:04.992 --> 00:24:06.927
- Tell them you are a house of, tell them, tell them, you are.
- 00:24:06.927 --> 00:24:17.638
- I'm going to do everything I can in these next couple of months
- 00:24:20.341 --> 00:24:24.211
- or so to make you a praying machine.
- 00:24:24.211 --> 00:24:29.783
- - [Lady] Yeah.
- 00:24:31.685 --> 00:24:34.588
- - When I got saved, I was in college and I was in
- 00:24:37.157 --> 00:24:42.129
- an environment that didn't do real good
- 00:24:43.364 --> 00:24:44.865
- at telling you why, they just told you to do stuff.
- 00:24:44.865 --> 00:24:47.468
- It was all right, now you you're saved, you got to pray.
- 00:24:47.468 --> 00:24:50.704
- Oh, I do, okay.
- 00:24:50.704 --> 00:24:53.140
- And by the way you got to pray one hour,
- 00:24:55.509 --> 00:24:57.411
- could you not tally one hour?
- 00:24:58.746 --> 00:25:00.180
- So I got to pray an hour, wow, okay.
- 00:25:01.348 --> 00:25:03.918
- And I was so defeated because I remember I laid down
- 00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:07.488
- in the floor of my dorm room and I've asked God
- 00:25:07.488 --> 00:25:11.091
- to bless everybody I knew in the whole world
- 00:25:11.091 --> 00:25:12.826
- and six minutes had passed.
- 00:25:12.826 --> 00:25:16.597
- Now I have to make myself quit, now I have to go, man,
- 00:25:19.199 --> 00:25:23.470
- I got to get on with my day.
- 00:25:25.606 --> 00:25:27.775
- I want this to turn into the greatest delight in your life.
- 00:25:30.477 --> 00:25:33.380
- And when you see heaven, hear your prayers
- 00:25:35.382 --> 00:25:37.818
- and answer your prayers, you will need
- 00:25:37.818 --> 00:25:40.588
- no more motivation from me.
- 00:25:40.588 --> 00:25:43.157
- Can we clap one more time to Jesus
- 00:25:43.157 --> 00:25:45.292
- May the Lord bless you!
- 00:25:45.292 --> 00:25:50.130
- Before we go, I just want to ask you,
- 00:25:50.130 --> 00:25:52.700
- have you ever accepted Jesus Christ into your heart
- 00:25:52.700 --> 00:25:56.870
- to be a personal Lord and savior?
- 00:25:56.870 --> 00:25:59.273
- It's not about church.
- 00:25:59.273 --> 00:26:01.342
- It's not about a code of conduct.
- 00:26:01.342 --> 00:26:03.010
- It's not about a religion.
- 00:26:03.010 --> 00:26:05.112
- It's not even about a belief system, it's about a person,
- 00:26:05.112 --> 00:26:08.983
- a person who came as the Son of God to pay a horrible price,
- 00:26:08.983 --> 00:26:12.920
- to purchase our salvation.
- 00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:15.122
- Who wants to live on the inside of you,
- 00:26:15.122 --> 00:26:16.957
- live on the inside of me, be our personal Lord and savior
- 00:26:16.957 --> 00:26:20.728
- and be there every time you call on his name
- 00:26:20.728 --> 00:26:23.530
- and you never have another day alone
- 00:26:23.530 --> 00:26:26.734
- and never fight another battle alone.
- 00:26:26.734 --> 00:26:29.169
- That's the Jesus I offer you.
- 00:26:30.170 --> 00:26:31.605
- What does it cost me, pastor?
- 00:26:31.605 --> 00:26:33.474
- It's free, it's the gift of grace.
- 00:26:33.474 --> 00:26:36.710
- If you would like to know him the prayer
- 00:26:36.710 --> 00:26:37.878
- goes something like this,
- 00:26:37.878 --> 00:26:39.113
- Lord Jesus, I believe you died and rose again
- 00:26:39.113 --> 00:26:42.516
- for my salvation.
- 00:26:42.516 --> 00:26:43.751
- I ask you to come into my heart and into my life
- 00:26:45.185 --> 00:26:47.388
- and be my Lord and savior.
- 00:26:47.388 --> 00:26:48.789
- I ask you to wash me of my sins.
- 00:26:48.789 --> 00:26:50.758
- I'm sorry, I ask your forgiveness.
- 00:26:50.758 --> 00:26:53.827
- I accept your gift of salvation and thank you
- 00:26:53.827 --> 00:26:57.064
- from this moment forward that I'm saved.
- 00:26:57.064 --> 00:26:59.700
- In Jesus name. Amen.
- 00:27:00.968 --> 00:27:02.169
- It just happened and I got a big smile on my face
- 00:27:03.604 --> 00:27:06.540
- cause I know the journey that just started for you.
- 00:27:06.540 --> 00:27:09.476
- Amen.
- 00:27:09.476 --> 00:27:10.411
- Please write in, let us know.
- 00:27:10.411 --> 00:27:12.112
- Please call in, let us know, write a letter, let us know,
- 00:27:12.112 --> 00:27:15.416
- email us, let us know, but we don't want you
- 00:27:15.416 --> 00:27:17.651
- to make this decision alone.
- 00:27:17.651 --> 00:27:19.853
- Please tell us, ah, we're so excited for you.
- 00:27:19.853 --> 00:27:22.723
- And until next time, God bless.
- 00:27:22.723 --> 00:27:24.892
- (upbeat music)
- 00:27:25.826 --> 00:27:25.826
