Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: And it came to pass, when he had made an
- 0:03Speaker 1: end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan
- 0:08Speaker 1: was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Loved him as his own soul.
- 0:15Speaker 1: And Saul took him that day and would let him
- 0:19Speaker 1: go no more home to his father's house. Then Jonathan
- 0:24Speaker 1: and David made a covenant because he loved him as
- 0:28Speaker 1: his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe
- 0:34Speaker 1: that was upon him and gave it to David and
- 0:37Speaker 1: his guards, even to his sword and to his bow
- 0:42Speaker 1: and to his girdle. Can you say amen? I want
- 0:46Speaker 1: to go just for a moment to Corinthians where we
- 0:51Speaker 1: will find our text. 2 Corinthians 8 and 9, one
- 0:59Speaker 1: verse will say it all.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Let us read together.
- 1:07Speaker 1: For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
- 1:12Speaker 1: that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he
- 1:16Speaker 1: became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Remain standing. We're going to pray. My subject tonight is
- 1:26Speaker 1: from rags to riches. From rags to riches. Look at
- 1:33Speaker 1: somebody and tell them he's taking me from rags.
- 1:38Speaker 2: To riches.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Spirit of the living God, send your anointing tonight in
- 1:42Speaker 1: such a definite and a clear way that lives are
- 1:45Speaker 1: changed and hearts are healed, minds are renewed. I thank
- 1:49Speaker 1: you for the great grace wherein we stand. I thank
- 1:52Speaker 1: you for this marvelous salvation. It is awesome what you
- 1:56Speaker 1: have done for us. I bless you tonight. Thank you
- 2:01Speaker 1: for your word being made flesh tonight. In Jesus' name, amen.
- 2:07Speaker 1: You may be seated in the presence of the Lord.
- 2:12Speaker 1: So much, so much, so much, so much, so much
- 2:14Speaker 1: has been said in this generation about the promises of
- 2:18Speaker 1: God that we have failed to talk to people about
- 2:22Speaker 1: the process of God. And it is essential, in fact
- 2:27Speaker 1: it is significant for your faith that you understand both
- 2:30Speaker 1: the promise and the process. Because it is in the
- 2:33Speaker 1: process of getting to the promise that the enemy wants
- 2:35Speaker 1: to totally destroy you and cause you to be defeated
- 2:39Speaker 1: and not to become who God would.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Have you to be.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Regardless of the magnitude of our faith, there's still some
- 2:45Speaker 1: things that we have to go through in process to
- 2:48Speaker 1: become what God would have us to be. It is
- 2:52Speaker 1: expensive to be effective. It is not easy to be effective.
- 3:00Speaker 1: It costs a lot to be effective. And we have
- 3:05Speaker 1: raised a generation of fair weather. Johnny, come lately. microwave oven,
- 3:13Speaker 1: Instamatic Christians. That if they don't get everything that they
- 3:19Speaker 1: expect to get, the moment they expect to get it,
- 3:22Speaker 1: they leave the church, they leave their husbands, they leave
- 3:26Speaker 1: their wives, and now even the children are divorcing their parents.
- 3:32Speaker 1: People just give up. But in spite of our temper tantrums,
- 3:38Speaker 1: God is not moved. There are some things that we
- 3:42Speaker 1: have to go through in order to become what God
- 3:44Speaker 1: has predestined for us to become. When you see God
- 3:49Speaker 1: displaying gifts and psalmists and ministers and ministries on this
- 3:52Speaker 1: stage and on the stages across this nation, don't think
- 3:55Speaker 1: that they just got there because they were talented. Because
- 3:58Speaker 1: there's somebody in the kitchen frying fish who's more talented
- 4:01Speaker 1: than you. I hate to tell you that, but it's
- 4:08Speaker 1: a fact. There's somebody drunk up under a bridge that
- 4:11Speaker 1: would out-preach us, out-sing us, out-play us, out-dramatize us. You
- 4:17Speaker 1: didn't get here just because you were gifted and God
- 4:19Speaker 1: had to have your gift. But God puts a rich
- 4:22Speaker 1: deposit in you through the furnace of affliction until there
- 4:26Speaker 1: is a glory that transcends being gifted and crosses over
- 4:31Speaker 1: the shores of gifted on into being anointed. And the
- 4:35Speaker 1: anointing becomes so rich in your life because it is
- 4:38Speaker 1: a composite of everything you have been through. It cannot
- 4:43Speaker 1: be duplicated. It cannot be imitated. The anointing that's on
- 4:47Speaker 1: you is an original anointing.
- 4:51Speaker 2: It is fresh.
- 4:52Speaker 1: It is the unction of the Lord manifest through your
- 4:56Speaker 1: life story. It was that kind of unique, specific, annoying
- 5:02Speaker 1: thing that caused Elijah to look at Elijah and say,
- 5:05Speaker 1: I want to be like you or give me a
- 5:08Speaker 1: double portion of your spirit. He said, if you see
- 5:13Speaker 1: me when I'm taken up, one translation says, if you
- 5:15Speaker 1: see what I see. If you have aligned yourself with me,
- 5:19Speaker 1: if your vision has become my vision, if you've walked
- 5:22Speaker 1: with me through the process, if you've been with me
- 5:24Speaker 1: through the Jordan, if you've been with me at Gilgal,
- 5:27Speaker 1: if you've had the same experiences, then finally you will
- 5:31Speaker 1: inherit the same anointing. But you cannot get the same
- 5:34Speaker 1: kind of anointing until you have gone through the same experience.
- 5:39Speaker 1: There are no shortcuts to it. You've got to pay
- 5:43Speaker 1: the full price. It costs what it costs and it
- 5:47Speaker 1: doesn't go on sale. Do you hear what I'm saying?
- 5:53Speaker 1: It is expensive to bring about massive deliverance and to
- 5:57Speaker 1: become effective in the kingdom. I am concerned because we're
- 6:00Speaker 1: living in a generation of people where we understand the
- 6:03Speaker 1: gifts of the Spirit, the fruits of the Spirit, the
- 6:04Speaker 1: working of the Spirit. We understand all of those wonderful
- 6:07Speaker 1: things like that, but we've lost foundation.
- 6:09Speaker 2: We've lost substance. We've lost fundamentals.
- 6:12Speaker 1: We've lost the power of what that lady was singing
- 6:14Speaker 1: about tonight, the blood, the cross, the power of redemption.
- 6:17Speaker 1: What happened for us? What procured us? What bought us
- 6:22Speaker 1: out of the marketplace? And you can't stand up.
- 6:25Speaker 2: And rebuke the devil until you've got a bill.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Of sale in your pocket and you know without a
- 6:30Speaker 1: shadow of a doubt that you've been purchased not by
- 6:32Speaker 1: your circumstances at this particular moment but by the blood
- 6:36Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ which was already shed and is efficacious, effective,
- 6:41Speaker 1: still working right now in my behalf. We spend too
- 6:45Speaker 1: much time learning the traditions of the church, the fundamentals
- 6:49Speaker 1: of the doctrine, the history of our movements, our organizations,
- 6:53Speaker 1: our ecclesiastical persuasions, our protocols, our order of services. We
- 6:58Speaker 1: spend too much time emphasizing our doctrine. And even those
- 7:03Speaker 1: of us who say we have no doctrine, we have doctrine.
- 7:06Speaker 1: We make ritualism out of being free and free. We
- 7:09Speaker 1: learn everything. We know when to stand. We know when
- 7:12Speaker 1: to shout. We know how to raise our hands. We
- 7:14Speaker 1: know how to fall without hurting our back. But there
- 7:22Speaker 1: are some things that God has done for us that
- 7:25Speaker 1: we need to take another look at. All of the
- 7:27Speaker 1: Bible crescendos at the cross. All of the Bible celebrates
- 7:32Speaker 1: the cross. The cross epitomizes God's plan of escape from
- 7:35Speaker 1: man's frustration and his predicament. It becomes a monument of
- 7:40Speaker 1: God's ability to transcend every attack.
- 7:43Speaker 2: That the enemy would wage against us.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Everything that we believe hinges on the concept that Jesus
- 7:49Speaker 1: went to the cross, died for our sins, and rose
- 7:53Speaker 1: up with all power in his hand and said, I'm
- 7:56Speaker 1: not another Jesus, but I am he that was dead,
- 7:59Speaker 1: but I am alive forevermore. It took God 39 books
- 8:04Speaker 1: of the Old Testament, hundreds upon thousands of shadows and types,
- 8:08Speaker 1: from trumpets and vows and feast and weeks feast of
- 8:11Speaker 1: weeks and feast of unleavened breads and all the bowls
- 8:15Speaker 1: and all the vials and all the trumpets and all
- 8:17Speaker 1: the sheepskins and goatskins and all the brass and the
- 8:21Speaker 1: gold and the silver it took all of that the
- 8:23Speaker 1: very dirt on the floor the water in the labor
- 8:25Speaker 1: it took all of that the stinking stench of burning
- 8:28Speaker 1: flesh in the tabernacle the smoke going up
- 8:52Speaker 1: To make us understand
- 8:54Speaker 1: the magnitude of his deliverance. And what he would do
- 8:57Speaker 1: in one man's life. In the space of 33 years.
- 9:00Speaker 1: It took all of the prophecies. The messianic testimonies. They
- 9:05Speaker 1: called him that prophet. They called him the child. They
- 9:08Speaker 1: called him El Shaddai.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Elohim.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Jehovah Jireh. Jehovah Sikonu. Jehovah Rohi. Jehovah Manah. All of
- 9:14Speaker 1: the names. All of the covenant names of the Old Testament.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Are God trying to prepare our minds. For the monumentous deliverance.
- 9:22Speaker 1: That would come through a lamb.
- 9:25Speaker 2: A lamb. A lamb. Somebody say a lamb.
- 9:28Speaker 1: A lamb that was first seen in the book of
- 9:31Speaker 1: Genesis as an animal.
- 9:33Speaker 2: A neutered term.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Non-specific.
- 9:35Speaker 2: An animal that covered the nakedness of Adam.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Later, he is identified as a spotless lamb that is
- 9:42Speaker 1: killed between Abel and Cain to bring about deliverance. And
- 9:46Speaker 1: then as the evolution of the lamb evolves from place
- 9:49Speaker 1: to place, he begins to give us little specifics like
- 9:53Speaker 1: he is to be without spot or or blemish and
- 9:56Speaker 1: he is to be a male child and then he
- 9:58Speaker 1: Crescendos and Exodus by saying the blood of the lamb
- 10:01Speaker 1: is to be applied to the doorpost God couldn't give
- 10:04Speaker 1: us a whole plan at once It took hundreds of
- 10:07Speaker 1: years for him to give us the plan because the
- 10:09Speaker 1: plan is so awesome. It would blow your mind He said,
- 10:14Speaker 1: not only am I going to do it through a substitute,
- 10:17Speaker 1: a scapegoat, a lamb, but I'm going to take that
- 10:20Speaker 1: blood of that efficacious, perfect, spotless, no bone broken in
- 10:25Speaker 1: his body lamb. And I'm going to apply it to
- 10:28Speaker 1: the lintel and the doorpost of the believer.
- 10:30Speaker 2: You have to have faith.
- 10:31Speaker 1: A personal experience with the blood of the Lamb. You
- 10:34Speaker 1: cannot stand aloof from it and look at it and
- 10:37Speaker 1: admire it and worship it. There has to be a
- 10:39Speaker 1: personal encounter where you've been smeared with the efficacious blood
- 10:44Speaker 1: of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Are you ready for this tonight?
- 10:48Speaker 1: You have to understand that he evolved and began to
- 10:50Speaker 1: minister through shadows and types and to tell us what
- 10:54Speaker 1: it all took for the lamb to be.
- 10:55Speaker 2: And finally in.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Isaiah, Isaiah identifies the fact that the lamb is not
- 11:00Speaker 1: even a lamb at all, that the lamb is a man.
- 11:03Speaker 2: For he says, behold, he goeth and.
- 11:05Speaker 1: The lamb to the shearers and he never opened his mouth.
- 11:09Speaker 2: For Isaiah tells us the lamb is a man.
- 11:12Speaker 1: But John points out which man it is when he
- 11:16Speaker 1: stands in the chilly joint with mud in between his
- 11:19Speaker 1: toes and water rushing in between his legs, standing there baptizing.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Out in the muddy waters of the Jordan.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Behold! The Lamb of God
- 11:44Speaker 1: which taketh away the sins of the world. And from
- 11:47Speaker 1: that moment on, John began to decrease that he might increase.
- 11:52Speaker 1: And the Lamb of God came to the center of
- 11:55Speaker 1: the stage. All of the Old Testament looks forward at it.
- 12:03Speaker 1: The Gospels describe it. The Epistles explain it. The Revelations
- 12:08Speaker 1: explores it. But the whole book is about the efficacious.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Power of the Lamb.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Yes, he healed the sick, he raised the dead, he
- 12:19Speaker 1: turned water into wine.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Yes, in the middle of a storm he went for
- 12:23Speaker 2: a stroll across.
- 12:24Speaker 1: The sea without a bridge. Yes, he stopped a funeral
- 12:28Speaker 1: and touched the coffin and the boy that was in
- 12:30Speaker 1: the coffin woke up. Yes, he stood outside of a
- 12:34Speaker 1: tomb and spoke to a dead man and called him
- 12:37Speaker 1: by his name until he came leaping out of the grave.
- 12:41Speaker 2: Yes, He went up.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Into the upper room and shut the door on a
- 12:44Speaker 1: girl whose body was dead and they were having her funeral.
- 12:48Speaker 1: He disrupted the whole funeral when he walked in the
- 12:51Speaker 1: room and spoke to her and said, Yes, he took
- 12:57Speaker 1: two fish and five loaves of bread and broke it
- 13:00Speaker 1: into pieces until it fed 5,000 men, not to mention women. Yes,
- 13:04Speaker 1: he spat in the eye of a blind man until
- 13:07Speaker 1: the blind man opened up his eyes and said, I
- 13:09Speaker 1: don't know anything about him.
- 13:10Speaker 2: All I know is that I was blind and now
- 13:12Speaker 2: I see it.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Yes! He stopped by the tomb of Gadarese and got
- 13:16Speaker 1: a hold to a man who could not even be
- 13:18Speaker 1: chained with fetters and spoke to him and broke the
- 13:21Speaker 1: demonic curse that was on his life and he spoke
- 13:24Speaker 1: to the demons and drove the demons into the pigs
- 13:26Speaker 1: and the pigs into the rivers because if Jesus is
- 13:29Speaker 1: Lord at.
- 13:30Speaker 2: All, he is Lord of all. Shout yes! And yet
- 13:35Speaker 2: none of that was what he came to do. That
- 13:42Speaker 2: was just what he did to occupy his time while.
- 13:47Speaker 1: He was on his way to his purpose. That's how
- 13:57Speaker 1: he chilled. Look at somebody and tell them he's awesome.
- 14:09Speaker 1: When he got ready to go to the cross, he
- 14:10Speaker 1: rebuked everybody that hindered him from going to it. They
- 14:15Speaker 1: thought he was being taken. He said, I'm not being taken.
- 14:17Speaker 1: No man takes my life. I lay it down. If
- 14:20Speaker 1: I lay it down, I have the power to pick
- 14:21Speaker 1: it back up again. He rebuked the very disciple that
- 14:25Speaker 1: was trying to stop him from dying. Said, you know
- 14:27Speaker 1: not what spirit you are of. Get behind me. I've
- 14:29Speaker 1: got to do this. I've got to pay full price.
- 14:34Speaker 1: I've got to go through whatever I've got to go
- 14:36Speaker 1: through to bring about lasting deliverance. We preach Calvary. We
- 14:44Speaker 1: preach the cross from a humanistic perception. We talk about
- 14:48Speaker 1: the terror of the cross, the cruelty of the cross.
- 14:53Speaker 1: We talk about the wretchedness of the nails that were
- 14:55Speaker 1: driven into his gentle hands and feet. We talk about
- 15:00Speaker 1: those nails and the wretchedness of him being beaten as
- 15:03Speaker 1: if that was the horror of the cross. But that
- 15:07Speaker 1: is only a human perspective of horror. The horror that
- 15:10Speaker 1: drove Jesus to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray that
- 15:14Speaker 1: night was not the fear of nails. He didn't have
- 15:18Speaker 1: to worry about the nails. He could have not created
- 15:21Speaker 1: the steel or the iron that would become the nails.
- 15:25Speaker 1: It was his own footprint that hollowed out the tree,
- 15:28Speaker 1: that hollowed out the mountain that would be Calvary. He
- 15:30Speaker 1: could have crushed it and made it a plain, a desert,
- 15:35Speaker 1: a dry place. He didn't have to raise the tree
- 15:38Speaker 1: that would be the cross. He didn't have to create
- 15:40Speaker 1: the day that would cause his crucifixion. He didn't have
- 15:44Speaker 1: to let the soldier live that would arrest him. He
- 15:47Speaker 1: could have made him a stillborn in the womb.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Oh!
- 15:49Speaker 1: All of it was God's divine purpose. God manipulating all
- 15:53Speaker 1: things after the counsel of his own will. Isn't it
- 15:56Speaker 1: funny how God causes all things to work together for
- 15:58Speaker 1: the good of them that love the Lord? How he'll
- 16:01Speaker 1: be working both to do and to will according to
- 16:03Speaker 1: his own good pleasure. Whether you know it or not,
- 16:06Speaker 1: even right now at this moment in your life, God
- 16:08Speaker 1: is orchestrating all the events and the affairs of your life.
- 16:12Speaker 1: That you might crescendo into your divine purpose. And that
- 16:16Speaker 1: is why we don't get upset with people who are
- 16:18Speaker 1: upset with us. And we don't render evil for evil.
- 16:20Speaker 1: For even our enemies are working together for our good.
- 16:24Speaker 1: It is good for us that we have been afflicted.
- 16:31Speaker 1: We glory in tribulation. Tribulation work is patience and patience experience.
- 16:37Speaker 1: And experience hope and hope making.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Itself not ashamed.
- 16:41Speaker 1: That means it's all good. The bad is good. We
- 16:48Speaker 1: talk about that if that were the whore of the cross.
- 16:50Speaker 1: But when Jesus goes into the garden of Gethsemane to pray,
- 16:54Speaker 1: he agonizes over an.
- 16:56Speaker 2: Eternal aspect of the cross. For you see, when you start.
- 16:59Speaker 1: Talking about Jesus, you're talking about him being some demigod.
- 17:04Speaker 1: But he's not a demigod. He's not a subordinate God.
- 17:07Speaker 1: He's not God Junior.
- 17:08Speaker 2: He's God. Thank you, Jesus. He's not some.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Little God, some little cute God, some little shadow of
- 17:19Speaker 1: a God.
- 17:20Speaker 2: He is God himself.
- 17:22Speaker 1: The Bible said he thought it not robbery to be
- 17:24Speaker 1: equal with God and yet made of himself no reputation.
- 17:28Speaker 2: And Paul says without controversy.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Great is the mystery of godliness for God was manifest
- 17:34Speaker 1: in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angels,
- 17:38Speaker 1: preached unto the Gentiles, and believed on in the world.
- 17:40Speaker 1: And before he could finish saying that, John said in
- 17:42Speaker 1: the beginning, what's the word? And the word was with
- 17:45Speaker 1: God and the word was God. All things were made
- 17:47Speaker 1: by him and without him was not anything made.
- 17:49Speaker 2: That was made in him was life. And the life
- 17:52Speaker 2: was the light of men. And the light shined in darkness.
- 17:55Speaker 2: And the darkness comprehended it not. Now there was a
- 17:57Speaker 2: man who.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Was sent from God. He was not that light. But
- 18:00Speaker 1: he was sent to bear witness of that life. Saying
- 18:03Speaker 1: surely there is one coming after me. Who's mightier than I.
- 18:06Speaker 1: Whose shoes I'm not worthy to latch on. And so
- 18:08Speaker 1: on and so on and so forth.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Finally a crescendo. And the word was made flesh.
- 18:14Speaker 1: And dwelt among us. The abstract was made concrete. The
- 18:17Speaker 1: invisible was made visible. The unseen God manifested himself in
- 18:23Speaker 1: human form.
- 18:28Speaker 2: God himself. If you take a glass of ice water.
- 18:34Speaker 1: And bring it to a chemist. And ask him what
- 18:39Speaker 1: is in the glass. He will say H2O. You will
- 18:44Speaker 1: say ice and water. But to the chemists, they are
- 18:49Speaker 1: the same thing. Different manifestations of the same chemical equation.
- 18:59Speaker 2: One. The water is in the ice. The ice is
- 19:04Speaker 2: in the water. But it is still one. If you
- 19:07Speaker 2: take it and put it on the stove and boil
- 19:09Speaker 2: it till it becomes steamed.
- 19:11Speaker 1: You can see the steam going up as vapor in
- 19:14Speaker 1: the air, and yet it is still H2O. It manifests
- 19:17Speaker 1: itself in a multiplicity of forms, but it is still H2O.
- 19:22Speaker 1: There are some things that can be said about the
- 19:24Speaker 1: steam that cannot be said about the ice. There are
- 19:27Speaker 1: some things that can be said about the ice that
- 19:28Speaker 1: cannot be said about the water. But regardless of the
- 19:31Speaker 1: specificity of their characteristics, they are still one.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Behold, O Israel, the Lord thy God is one, and
- 19:38Speaker 2: beside him there is no other.
- 19:40Speaker 1: He manifests himself as Father in creation, Son in redemption,
- 19:44Speaker 1: Holy Ghost in regeneration. Yes, they can coexist at the
- 19:47Speaker 1: same time. There are some things that can be said
- 19:49Speaker 1: about one. that cannot be said about the other you
- 19:51Speaker 1: can identify characteristics in the son that may not be
- 19:54Speaker 1: true of the father things that happen in the holy
- 19:56Speaker 1: spirit that you don't see in creation and yet he
- 19:59Speaker 1: is still one god for there is one lord and
- 20:02Speaker 1: one faith and one baptism one god above you all
- 20:06Speaker 1: in you all through you all look at somebody say
- 20:08Speaker 1: one one one one one Yet when that one God
- 20:16Speaker 1: got ready to manifest himself in flesh, he gave up
- 20:22Speaker 1: some things to come. There are some things that can
- 20:25Speaker 1: be said about God in creation that cannot be said
- 20:30Speaker 1: about the son in redemption. Can I take my time
- 20:32Speaker 1: and pre-system? Father is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent. I'm the present
- 20:42Speaker 1: in all places at all times. The father neither goes
- 20:46Speaker 1: nor comes. Jehovah Shama means he's there. God is never
- 20:51Speaker 1: on his way. I know we always talk about God
- 20:54Speaker 1: is on his way. God is not on his way.
- 20:59Speaker 1: You might be on your way, but God is not
- 21:02Speaker 1: on his way. Wherever you're trying to go, God is
- 21:05Speaker 1: already there and he's with you while.
- 21:07Speaker 2: You're on the trip.
- 21:11Speaker 1: In fact, in the Old Testament, when they call him
- 21:13Speaker 1: Jehovah Shammah, it means the Lord is present. Not on
- 21:17Speaker 1: his way, not fixing to get there, not waiting at
- 21:19Speaker 1: the bus stop trying to catch a cab. The Lord
- 21:21Speaker 1: is Shammah. Somebody say Shammah. You don't have to wait
- 21:25Speaker 1: on him. He's already there. The truth of the matter,
- 21:27Speaker 1: most of the time he's waiting on us. He's waiting
- 21:30Speaker 1: on us to believe and waiting on us to trust him.
- 21:32Speaker 1: But don't you act like you're waiting on God to
- 21:34Speaker 1: show up like God just missed the bus and he'll
- 21:36Speaker 1: get there sometime and you got there ahead of him.
- 21:38Speaker 2: The devil is a lie. God has been with you
- 21:40Speaker 2: all the time.
- 21:41Speaker 1: I might shock somebody, but I want you to know
- 21:44Speaker 1: that the Lord was with you before you got saved.
- 21:51Speaker 2: He was with you when you were still drunk, Danny.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Full of Strolls, Bud Light and Strolls and all of
- 21:57Speaker 1: that other crazy stuff you were drinking. Driving down the
- 22:00Speaker 1: interstate in the middle of the road. Can't even figure
- 22:03Speaker 1: out how fast you're going. Smelling like a Paca Pelm.
- 22:05Speaker 1: males are smoking on reefer and everything else it was
- 22:08Speaker 1: God that didn't let the car kill you it was
- 22:11Speaker 1: God that didn't let that man shoot you in the
- 22:13Speaker 1: head it was God that brought you to the store
- 22:16Speaker 1: it was God preserving.
- 22:17Speaker 2: You so he could save you so he.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Could justify you so he could glorify you and suddenly
- 22:23Speaker 1: you woke up and you realized he was there all
- 22:26Speaker 1: the time text somebody say Jehovah Shammah He's there, he's there,
- 22:31Speaker 1: he's there, he's there. In the hospital, he's there. In
- 22:35Speaker 1: the crisis, he's there. In the courtroom, he's there. In
- 22:38Speaker 1: the storm, he's there. In the problem, he's there.
- 22:41Speaker 2: In the situation, he's there.
- 22:43Speaker 1: In the divorce court, he's there. God is omnipresent.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Yes. There. Somebody say there. Yes, God is there. He's there.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Christ was on his way. But God is always there.
- 23:14Speaker 2: The son came to them walking on the water.
- 23:17Speaker 1: But while he was coming, the father was there. Are
- 23:20Speaker 1: you hearing what I'm saying? Are you hearing what he
- 23:23Speaker 1: traveled from city to city? But when you talk about
- 23:27Speaker 1: the father, he never travels. He shamas. He says, I
- 23:37Speaker 1: am with you. The son says, I am with you
- 23:40Speaker 1: and shall be in you. If I don't go away,
- 23:43Speaker 1: I can't be in you because I have to give
- 23:45Speaker 1: up the body and come in spirit form to possess
- 23:48Speaker 1: you because no flesh can possess other flesh. I am
- 23:52Speaker 1: with you, but I shall be in you.
- 23:53Speaker 2: A well of living water springing up into everlasting life.
- 23:59Speaker 2: When we are looking at the son, we are looking
- 24:02Speaker 2: at God. Reaching God.
- 24:06Speaker 1: Fallen humanity. Coming as low as he can to meet us.
- 24:13Speaker 1: We're looking at God. Telling the angels, wait a minute.
- 24:19Speaker 1: Pour out my glory and my honor.
- 24:24Speaker 2: Don't be afraid.
- 24:26Speaker 1: When I finish, I will glorify the son with the
- 24:29Speaker 1: glory that he had with me before. But right now
- 24:31Speaker 1: I'm pouring out glory and honor. Giving up omnipresence. giving
- 24:36Speaker 1: up omniscience, stepping out of a holy atmosphere, surrounded by
- 24:41Speaker 1: angels and praise and perfection and purity, stepping out of
- 24:46Speaker 1: an environment where there was no coercion to worship me,
- 24:50Speaker 1: but day and night they continued around him saying, holy, holy,
- 24:54Speaker 1: holy is the Lord God of hosts. The whole earth
- 24:58Speaker 1: is full of his glory, but because of our wretchedness,
- 25:01Speaker 1: he stepped down. Paul says he humbled himself. He humbled himself.
- 25:08Speaker 1: He stepped down. He abased himself. When you're looking at
- 25:12Speaker 1: God coming in Christ, you are looking at God reducing
- 25:15Speaker 1: himself to his.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Lowest possible common denominator.
- 25:20Speaker 1: If he would come in his brightness and in his power,
- 25:23Speaker 1: who could stand it? The Bible said that he burned
- 25:26Speaker 1: up nations with the brightness of his coming. Entire armies
- 25:30Speaker 1: were swallowed up in his presence. His glory is so
- 25:34Speaker 1: awesome that his face is going to light up all
- 25:38Speaker 1: of heaven. If he would have hit Mary's womb with
- 25:41Speaker 1: full impact, he would have blew that little girl up.
- 25:44Speaker 1: He said, just wait on me. I got to reduce down.
- 25:47Speaker 1: If I come in power, you won't be able to stand.
- 25:50Speaker 1: I got to pour out my omnipresence and my omniscience
- 25:52Speaker 1: and my preexistent glory. I've got to give it up
- 25:55Speaker 1: and come down to my lowest common denominator. And he
- 25:57Speaker 1: stepped down into the womb of a virgin and wrapped
- 26:02Speaker 1: himself up in a coat of flesh and became Emmanuel.
- 26:07Speaker 2: God tabernacled with.
- 26:09Speaker 1: Us, gave up the choir, the host of heaven, gave
- 26:12Speaker 1: up being able to travel through thought, gave up being
- 26:15Speaker 1: omnipresent and omniscient and omnipotent and came down to a
- 26:19Speaker 1: fleshly body. And for the first time in all of eternity,
- 26:22Speaker 1: he knew what it was like. He knew what it
- 26:25Speaker 1: was to be weary. All of a sudden, he needed rest.
- 26:28Speaker 1: You're talking about a God who never sleeps or never slumbers.
- 26:31Speaker 1: But when he took on flesh, all of a sudden,
- 26:32Speaker 1: he had to rest. The Bible talks about him getting weary.
- 26:36Speaker 1: It was God humbling himself. For the first time, he
- 26:39Speaker 1: knew what it was like to be you. He came
- 26:41Speaker 1: down so that he could be. touched by the feeling
- 26:44Speaker 1: of your infirmity so that there is absolutely nothing that
- 26:48Speaker 1: you can.
- 26:48Speaker 2: Ask him about or pray to him about.
- 26:50Speaker 1: That he does not understand because he's been tabernacled down
- 26:54Speaker 1: here just like you and he can be touched by
- 26:57Speaker 1: the feeling of your infirmity he humbled himself Paul says
- 27:05Speaker 1: he came down he abased himself because anytime you're going
- 27:09Speaker 1: to be effective it costs you something If you're really
- 27:15Speaker 1: going to be exalted, you got to be willing to
- 27:16Speaker 1: get weighed down. In my text it says, he became
- 27:22Speaker 1: poor that we through his poverty might be made rich.
- 27:33Speaker 1: He said, I gave up all that I have and
- 27:39Speaker 1: became like you so you could give up all that
- 27:43Speaker 1: hindered you to become like me. It is the cost
- 27:55Speaker 1: of covenant. I don't know about you, but I am
- 27:59Speaker 1: sick and tired of hearing this generation talking about covenant. Oh,
- 28:08Speaker 1: he's my covenant brother. And then he walks out the
- 28:13Speaker 1: room and you talk about him like a dog. It
- 28:21Speaker 1: costs something to cut covenant. God teaches us what covenant
- 28:26Speaker 1: is when he humbled himself and took on him the
- 28:29Speaker 1: form of a servant.
- 28:32Speaker 2: Wrapped himself up in clay and became a servant. Covenant. Covenant. Covenant.
- 28:40Speaker 1: How much will it cost us to be who God
- 28:44Speaker 1: has called us to be? When we get through dancing
- 28:47Speaker 1: about it and shouting about it and decide to really
- 28:50Speaker 1: possess it, how much will it cost us to be
- 28:53Speaker 1: used in the kingdom? Those of you that God is
- 28:56Speaker 1: raising up right now, there are people right now who
- 28:58Speaker 1: are jealous of you, intimidated of you, afraid of you
- 29:01Speaker 1: because of your gift, and they don't understand how much
- 29:04Speaker 1: it costs.
- 29:05Speaker 2: You to be you.
- 29:06Speaker 1: They don't know how many nights you had to cry.
- 29:09Speaker 1: They don't know how much you had to sacrifice. They
- 29:12Speaker 1: think it's easy to be you. They think you just
- 29:14Speaker 1: jump up in the morning and wham, shazam, you step
- 29:17Speaker 1: over into it. They don't know that anointing that's on
- 29:20Speaker 1: you costs you everything. You cried for it. You labored
- 29:23Speaker 1: for it. You humbled yourself. You stepped down. You took
- 29:26Speaker 1: things you didn't want to take. You put up with
- 29:28Speaker 1: things you didn't have to put up with so that
- 29:30Speaker 1: God could use you for his glory. Look at somebody
- 29:41Speaker 1: and tell them it's not easy to be me. Before
- 29:47Speaker 1: you jump up and tell God you want to be
- 29:49Speaker 1: like me, let me tell you one thing, it's not
- 29:51Speaker 1: easy to be me. Before you covet my gift and
- 29:54Speaker 1: covet my anointing and try to assassinate me and take
- 29:56Speaker 1: my place.
- 29:57Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. It ain't so easy to
- 30:00Speaker 2: be me. Maybe you better have a few dress rehearsals
- 30:02Speaker 2: before you buy the suit. It's not easy. That's what
- 30:10Speaker 2: people say. It's not easy. I'm not being negative, but
- 30:13Speaker 2: it's not easy.
- 30:15Speaker 1: I don't want to depress you, but it's not easy.
- 30:17Speaker 2: I had to come through the furnace of affliction.
- 30:19Speaker 1: You weren't there when I was going through the go through.
- 30:21Speaker 1: You weren't there when I was going.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Through the chair.
- 30:23Speaker 1: You weren't there when God was stripping me and humbling
- 30:26Speaker 1: me and molding me and making me and breaking me
- 30:28Speaker 1: and shaping me. You saw me when I came up,
- 30:31Speaker 1: but you didn't see me when I went down.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Oh, I feel the anointing of the Holy Ghost. Woo!
- 30:44Speaker 1: Can somebody tell them there was a reason for your pain?
- 30:49Speaker 1: You weren't just going through pain to be going through pain.
- 30:51Speaker 1: You weren't just being humbled to be humbled. God was
- 30:54Speaker 1: setting you up for the greatest blessing that you have ever.
- 30:57Speaker 2: Seen in your life.
- 30:58Speaker 1: I don't know who I'm preaching to tonight, but whoever
- 31:01Speaker 1: the Lord sent me here to preach to, don't you
- 31:03Speaker 1: think that all hell is broken loose in your life?
- 31:06Speaker 1: God is still in control. And when he gets through
- 31:08Speaker 1: working things out, he's going to cause the very things
- 31:11Speaker 1: that made you cry to make you dance and shout.
- 31:15Speaker 2: When you seek God out, Look at somebody and tell them.
- 31:25Speaker 1: God's going to get some glory out of this. God
- 31:38Speaker 1: is going to get some glory. What I'm trying to
- 32:01Speaker 1: tell you is all of those things you've been going through.
- 32:05Speaker 1: All those things you've been wailing over and laboring over
- 32:07Speaker 1: and stressing over and praying over. I want you to
- 32:10Speaker 1: understand that all of it is for a reason. I
- 32:14Speaker 1: want you to understand that God is up to something.
- 32:18Speaker 1: I want you to understand that you're not supposed to panic.
- 32:22Speaker 1: This is a setup. God is going to ambush the
- 32:26Speaker 1: devil that's trying to destroy you. He's setting up an ambush.
- 32:31Speaker 1: He's setting up an ambushment. The devil meant it for evil,
- 32:35Speaker 1: but God is going to make it good. I know
- 32:38Speaker 1: you look bad right now, but after you suffered a while,
- 32:41Speaker 1: God is going to establish you and make you perfect.
- 32:44Speaker 2: Oh, look at somebody and tell them, give me three days.
- 32:47Speaker 2: Give me three days.
- 32:48Speaker 1: Just give me three days. Just give me three days.
- 32:51Speaker 1: I don't need but three days and I'm.
- 32:52Speaker 2: Coming out of this. Give me three days and.
- 32:54Speaker 1: I will rise again.
- 32:56Speaker 2: Give me three, three, three.
- 32:57Speaker 1: One, two, three, one, two.
- 33:08Speaker 2: You've been feeling it in your spirit. You've been feeling
- 33:10Speaker 2: it in your heart.
- 33:11Speaker 1: You've been shouting sometimes you didn't even know what you
- 33:13Speaker 1: were shouting about. All hell was breaking loose in your life.
- 33:17Speaker 2: And you jumped up and went to dancing.
- 33:18Speaker 1: You didn't even understand yourself why you were dancing.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Got through dancing and got in.
- 33:22Speaker 1: The car and went back to crying. Let me tell
- 33:24Speaker 1: you why you was dancing. Your spirit knows that when
- 33:28Speaker 1: you come out of this, you're going to come forth
- 33:31Speaker 1: as pure God. Look at somebody and say, gold. I'm
- 33:49Speaker 1: coming out like gold. Clap your hands and praise the
- 33:53Speaker 1: Lord in here right now. Praise him like you know
- 33:58Speaker 1: you're coming out. Praise him like you believe God and
- 34:01Speaker 1: it don't make no difference. Praise him like you're sure.
- 34:05Speaker 2: God's going to get some gold.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Praise him like it ain't nothing but a setup.
- 34:09Speaker 1: .
- 34:13Speaker 2: Shout yes, somebody!
- 34:45Speaker 1: To whatever I gotta go through, I say yes. To
- 34:49Speaker 1: however long I got to cry, I say yes. To
- 34:53Speaker 1: no matter what people say about me, I still say yes.
- 34:57Speaker 1: I may be lonely, but I still say yes.
- 34:59Speaker 2: I may be.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Rejected, but I still say yes. I may not be
- 35:03Speaker 1: in the good old boys club, but I still say yes.
- 35:06Speaker 2: They may not invite me out to dinner, but I
- 35:08Speaker 2: still say yes.
- 35:09Speaker 1: I might not be in the clique or the club,
- 35:12Speaker 1: but I still say yes. Shout yes.
- 35:15Speaker 2: God will be glorified. Oh, you make me want to
- 35:26Speaker 2: holler in here, somebody. Sit down, we're just talking. Oh, yes. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
- 36:03Speaker 2: I don't know who I'm preaching to.
- 36:08Speaker 1: But whoever it is, God is about to blow your mind.
- 36:19Speaker 1: Listen to this. He's about to bring you into something
- 36:25Speaker 1: that you haven't been trained for. That you're not qualified for.
- 36:33Speaker 1: And nobody would ever believe that God would give something
- 36:35Speaker 1: like that to somebody like you. He's about to blow
- 36:43Speaker 1: your mind.
- 36:45Speaker 2: You won't get a blessing you didn't even see coming.
- 36:47Speaker 1: Amen. Your spirit's already been shouting about it. You've been
- 36:52Speaker 1: shouting in your destiny. You've been dancing.
- 36:55Speaker 2: In your prophecy.
- 36:56Speaker 1: You had a crazy praise. You know that praise didn't
- 36:59Speaker 1: fit your situation. You were going through hell and high water,
- 37:03Speaker 1: but you weren't shouting over where you are. You're shouting
- 37:06Speaker 1: over where you're going.
- 37:22Speaker 2: Listen, sit down. David.
- 37:35Speaker 1: I'm not talking about King David. I'm talking about boy David.
- 37:40Speaker 1: I'm not talking about dressed up David. I'm talking about
- 37:44Speaker 1: raggedy David. I'm not talking about perfume David. I'm talking
- 37:49Speaker 1: about stinky David. David with sheep dung on his shoes
- 37:54Speaker 1: and smelling like a camel. Ridge running David. Wild, uncouth,
- 38:09Speaker 1: unprepped David. God said, I'm going to make you king.
- 38:17Speaker 1: You don't know nothing about being king. That's why I'm
- 38:20Speaker 1: going to make you king. God said, I'm sick of
- 38:23Speaker 1: using people.
- 38:24Speaker 2: Who know what they're doing.
- 38:31Speaker 1: Buckle your seatbelts, baby, because you're getting ready to go
- 38:34Speaker 1: some places you've never been before. You're getting ready to
- 38:39Speaker 1: take a walk on the wild side. You're not going
- 38:42Speaker 1: to know how in the world to do what God
- 38:44Speaker 1: has given you to do. But God is going to
- 38:46Speaker 1: give you an exceedingly abundantly above all that you may
- 38:49Speaker 1: ask for.
- 38:50Speaker 2: Think blessing.
- 38:51Speaker 1: It's going to blow your mind. If you don't pray,
- 38:53Speaker 1: you won't even know what to do. You're going to
- 38:55Speaker 1: go home every night and say, God, show me what
- 38:57Speaker 1: to do. I never had to do this before. I
- 38:59Speaker 1: never saw nobody do this. I haven't been trained. I
- 39:02Speaker 1: haven't been mentored. I haven't been prepared. Lord, I'm not
- 39:05Speaker 1: even able, but bless God, I'm willing. And if you'll
- 39:08Speaker 1: make me able, I'm willing. So here comes David to
- 39:23Speaker 1: the palace. He makes it to the palace, offer his gift.
- 39:31Speaker 1: because your gift will make room for you. It will
- 39:34Speaker 1: bring you before great men. He's in the palace because
- 39:39Speaker 1: he had some rocks and a rag.
- 39:45Speaker 2: That ain't much.
- 39:49Speaker 1: God can like you for strange reasons. I like the
- 39:56Speaker 1: way you killed that lion. I was watching you when
- 40:00Speaker 1: you killed that bear. I was watching you when you
- 40:03Speaker 1: were sweeping the church. I was watching you driving the bus,
- 40:09Speaker 1: picking up little old ladies.
- 40:11Speaker 2: From the senior citizens complex.
- 40:14Speaker 1: And I'm going to give you a promotion. I know
- 40:17Speaker 1: they were making fun of you, but I'm going to
- 40:18Speaker 1: give you a promotion. I know they were calling you
- 40:21Speaker 1: the church flunky, but I'm going to give you a promotion.
- 40:23Speaker 1: I know they were telling you them people weren't doing
- 40:25Speaker 1: nothing but.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Using you, but I am going to. Pastor, somebody's about
- 40:39Speaker 2: to get a promotion.
- 40:41Speaker 1: Somebody doesn't know it, but they're set up for a
- 40:43Speaker 1: commencement exercise. God is about to take you to another
- 40:47Speaker 1: level in the spirit of God.
- 40:51Speaker 2: Hallelujah. There he is.
- 40:58Speaker 1: His gift has opened up a door for him. His
- 41:01Speaker 1: gift has brought him against Goliath. He kills Goliath with
- 41:05Speaker 1: his gift. Whenever you got to fight the devil, fight
- 41:08Speaker 1: him with what you're gifted in. Never fight with somebody
- 41:12Speaker 1: else's gift. Fight with your own. Don't imitate anybody.
- 41:16Speaker 2: Be yourself. Even if what you ain't got, even if
- 41:19Speaker 2: what you got to work with ain't much, use ain't much.
- 41:23Speaker 2: Use not enough. Use a rag and a rock.
- 41:27Speaker 1: Because if God get behind it, it'll be much when
- 41:29Speaker 1: God just keep pushing it.
- 41:31Speaker 2: Hallelujah. I come to tell somebody.
- 41:34Speaker 1: You got everything you need for this next miracle. You're
- 41:38Speaker 1: not waiting on nothing. Everything you needed, God gave you.
- 41:41Speaker 1: If you needed more money, he'd give you more money.
- 41:43Speaker 1: If you needed more friends, he'd give you more friends.
- 41:45Speaker 1: If you needed to be better looking, he could have
- 41:47Speaker 1: made you better looking. If you needed to be tall,
- 41:49Speaker 1: he could have made you tall. Quit holding up your blessing. Wait,
- 41:52Speaker 1: know God to make you like somebody else. God gave
- 41:55Speaker 1: you everything you need. And when David comes in the palace,
- 42:09Speaker 1: he comes in through his gift. Now you got to
- 42:13Speaker 1: understand there's some transitional periods for him because he's in
- 42:21Speaker 1: the place, but he don't fit. Have you ever been
- 42:26Speaker 1: in a place and didn't fit? You can always tell
- 42:32Speaker 1: when somebody don't fit, they come in the palace, they
- 42:34Speaker 1: bowing at the wrong people. Got on winter shoes in
- 42:45Speaker 1: summer and summer shoes in winter. Got on a hat
- 42:49Speaker 1: that's crooked, it's on backwards.
- 42:55Speaker 2: He was there.
- 42:57Speaker 1: But he had nothing to work with. Just his heart.
- 43:03Speaker 1: Feeling silly. A blessing has made me feel like a fool.
- 43:10Speaker 1: I'm doing it and I don't feel qualified. Here I am, God,
- 43:16Speaker 1: in a position that other people would be jealous, love
- 43:19Speaker 1: to be in. And I go home praying at night saying, God,
- 43:22Speaker 1: I don't even know what I'm doing. He comes up
- 43:27Speaker 1: to Jonathan. And when they met, it was awesome. I'm
- 43:32Speaker 1: almost intimidated to talk about it. Most preachers are afraid
- 43:36Speaker 1: of it because it's so homophobic. They don't want to
- 43:38Speaker 1: talk about David and Jonathan.
- 43:39Speaker 2: Amen. I'm not homophobic.
- 43:43Speaker 1: I'm afraid of it because theologically I understand that what
- 43:45Speaker 1: happened between those men was so awesome. And it depicts
- 43:49Speaker 1: what happens between Christ and the church. And it is
- 43:52Speaker 1: a shadow of greater things to come. And in my mind,
- 43:56Speaker 1: my vocabulary, my intellect is intimidated by the magnitude of
- 43:59Speaker 1: this moment. It is awesome.
- 44:03Speaker 2: David, the shepherd boy, has come to the palace for
- 44:08Speaker 2: such a time as this.
- 44:11Speaker 1: He's in the place. He has nothing to work with.
- 44:13Speaker 1: He doesn't have the right clothes. He doesn't have the
- 44:14Speaker 1: right training. He doesn't have the right protocol. He hasn't
- 44:17Speaker 1: been mentored. He's a stranger in a palace that is his.
- 44:27Speaker 1: Some of you right now, you're strangers in a palace
- 44:29Speaker 1: that's yours. God's going to give you houses that you
- 44:32Speaker 1: didn't build. He's going to give you vineyards that you
- 44:35Speaker 1: didn't grow. He's just going to set you in a
- 44:38Speaker 1: place that's not even going to feel like you. It's
- 44:40Speaker 1: not even going to feel right. You're going to be
- 44:42Speaker 1: blessed and feel funny being blessed. Apologizing for being blessed.
- 44:46Speaker 1: When they tell you you look nice, you're going to say,
- 44:48Speaker 1: this old thing, I got it on sale because you're
- 44:50Speaker 1: not used to it.
- 44:55Speaker 2: There he is in the palace. And when he meets Jonathan...
- 45:05Speaker 2: There is a connection that is awesome.
- 45:07Speaker 1: The connection in order to have a covenant with anybody
- 45:10Speaker 1: or anything, you have to bond together because you come
- 45:13Speaker 1: from similar circumstances. When you look at David and Jonathan,
- 45:17Speaker 1: their lifestyles look completely different. David is a poor shepherd
- 45:21Speaker 1: boy raised in the field. Jonathan is raised in the palace.
- 45:24Speaker 1: No similarity there. David is dressed like a ragamuffin. Jonathan
- 45:28Speaker 1: is dressed like a king. No similarity there. Jonathan has
- 45:32Speaker 1: been raised in protocol and the best teachers and raised
- 45:35Speaker 1: in the upper echelon of his community. David has been
- 45:37Speaker 1: raised hanging around sheeps and goats and disconnected.
- 45:41Speaker 2: But the bond is this.
- 45:44Speaker 1: David is raised by a carnal, fleshly, selfish father who
- 45:51Speaker 1: is so consumed with his own identity that he doesn't
- 45:54Speaker 1: even suggest David as somebody that could be anointed to
- 45:58Speaker 1: be king. David is a rejected son raised by a
- 46:04Speaker 1: carnal father and here we have the bond because Jonathan
- 46:08Speaker 1: though he is dressed in royal tapestries and wonderful garments
- 46:12Speaker 1: has submitted himself to a carnal father who is selfish
- 46:16Speaker 1: and fleshly and consumed and when they saw each other
- 46:20Speaker 1: They looked beyond externals down into internals. And they saw
- 46:25Speaker 1: the commonness of their plight. For when Jonathan, though he
- 46:29Speaker 1: was dressed much better than David, when he looked at
- 46:31Speaker 1: David dressed in his raggedy clothes and smelling like the
- 46:34Speaker 1: field he came from, Jonathan looked beyond.
- 46:37Speaker 2: His faults and saw his need. And they bonded together.
- 46:45Speaker 2: The bond was so awesome. Can I preach about this
- 46:47Speaker 2: a few minutes? The bond was.
- 46:51Speaker 1: So awesome that one of them says, oh God, your
- 46:56Speaker 1: love is better to me than the love of a woman.
- 46:59Speaker 1: He says, I don't understand it. Suddenly, I feel like
- 47:01Speaker 1: I fit. I feel like you know what I'm thinking.
- 47:04Speaker 1: You know what it feels like to be me. You
- 47:06Speaker 1: know my pain. You're not trying to figure me out.
- 47:08Speaker 1: You understand me.
- 47:09Speaker 2: And they cut a covenant. A covenant. A covenant. A covenant.
- 47:20Speaker 1: Based on their similarities, in spite of their diversities, they
- 47:23Speaker 1: cut a covenant. And here comes, here comes Jonathan. All
- 47:29Speaker 1: dressed up like a prince. Coming to David.
- 47:37Speaker 2: David.
- 47:44Speaker 3: That's the way I came to Jesus. Just like I was. Weary,
- 47:54Speaker 3: worn and sad.
- 47:57Speaker 2: But I found in him a resting place.
- 48:02Speaker 1: And he has made me glad. I came not understanding communion.
- 48:07Speaker 1: I didn't understand the fellowship of the saints. I didn't
- 48:10Speaker 1: understand worship. I didn't understand holiness. I didn't understand morality.
- 48:14Speaker 1: I didn't understand the promises. I didn't understand the working
- 48:16Speaker 1: of the spirit. I didn't understand the moving of the
- 48:18Speaker 1: Holy Ghost. I didn't understand the unction. I didn't understand
- 48:21Speaker 1: the theophany of God. I didn't understand his presence, his omniscience.
- 48:24Speaker 1: I didn't understand his power. I didn't understand his glory.
- 48:28Speaker 1: I didn't understand that I've been justified and sanctified and glorified.
- 48:31Speaker 1: I didn't understand that if any man be in Christ,
- 48:33Speaker 1: he is.
- 48:34Speaker 2: A new creature.
- 48:34Speaker 1: I was in the right place, but I was still
- 48:36Speaker 1: dressed up in where I came from, dressed up in
- 48:38Speaker 1: the rags of life, dressed up in the brokenness of life.
- 48:41Speaker 1: Anybody else would have thrown me out of the palace,
- 48:44Speaker 1: but I'm still praising him for not putting me out.
- 48:47Speaker 2: I didn't even look right.
- 48:48Speaker 1: I didn't know when to stand and when to sit,
- 48:50Speaker 1: but he looked behind me.
- 48:51Speaker 2: False. Oh, yes, yes. I can get in anybody's church now.
- 48:57Speaker 2: I can get front row seating. But there was a
- 48:59Speaker 2: time in my life.
- 49:00Speaker 1: You wouldn't have brought me to the front row, baby.
- 49:03Speaker 2: Oh, no.
- 49:05Speaker 1: Oh, but when men didn't see anything in me, he
- 49:08Speaker 1: looked beyond the wretchedness of my condition and the plight
- 49:11Speaker 1: of my circumstance.
- 49:12Speaker 2: He looked beyond my temporary externals, my dilemma.
- 49:15Speaker 1: He looked beyond my poverty and he saw my destiny
- 49:19Speaker 1: and he loved.
- 49:22Speaker 2: Me.
- 49:23Speaker 1: I knew him and all my praises to him.
- 49:26Speaker 2: There's victory in.
- 49:29Speaker 1: Jesus, my savior forever. I feel a glory coming in
- 49:36Speaker 1: this place. I feel a moving of the Holy Ghost.
- 49:41Speaker 1: I feel a touch of the Spirit of God. The
- 49:44Speaker 1: glory of the Lord is in this place. Harold, come
- 49:48Speaker 1: help me preach. Help me preach. There he stands. This
- 49:54Speaker 1: would-be king. He's not yet, but he's going to be.
- 50:00Speaker 1: He's going to be. Jonathan has every reason to hate him.
- 50:06Speaker 1: Because if David becomes king, it will be at Jonathan's expense.
- 50:10Speaker 1: Because Jonathan not only is the son of the king,
- 50:14Speaker 1: he is the heir to the throne.
- 50:16Speaker 2: He is the heir.
- 50:19Speaker 1: And here comes this no-name boy to take his place.
- 50:24Speaker 1: Anybody else would have fought him. Anybody else would have
- 50:27Speaker 1: belittled him and made fun of him and said, you
- 50:29Speaker 1: are nothing. But when Jonathan saw him, he.
- 50:40Speaker 1: He said, I know you don't have anything to work with,
- 50:51Speaker 1: but I love you anyway. And I'm going to fix
- 50:57Speaker 1: you up. You and me, we're going to make a
- 51:01Speaker 1: covenant because we've shed the same tears. We've been through
- 51:05Speaker 1: the same pain. We've been rejected. We've been ostracized. I
- 51:09Speaker 1: know I don't look like you, but I relate to you.
- 51:10Speaker 1: I can be touched by the feeling of your infirmity.
- 51:15Speaker 1: I understand your plight so much so.
- 51:23Speaker 2: That I'm going to cut a covenant with you. Here,
- 51:28Speaker 2: shepherd boy, take my sword. That means.
- 51:37Speaker 1: I am defenseless before you. I give you my sword.
- 51:44Speaker 1: That means I allow you the privilege of being able
- 51:47Speaker 1: to hurt me. Covenant means that nobody can hurt me
- 51:51Speaker 1: like you. I'm giving you my sword. It means that
- 51:55Speaker 1: loving you has made me vulnerable. It means I have
- 51:59Speaker 1: given my defense away against you. In fact, here, take
- 52:04Speaker 1: my shield. That means I am naked before you. That
- 52:08Speaker 1: means I'm going to let you see things about me
- 52:11Speaker 1: that nobody else would see. That means that if you
- 52:14Speaker 1: decided to kill me, you could destroy me because we
- 52:17Speaker 1: are going in the covenant. But I need to be
- 52:19Speaker 1: able to be open with somebody to be naked. And
- 52:23Speaker 1: there you stand. There you stand. There's so much that
- 52:26Speaker 1: God wants to do in your life and you're not
- 52:28Speaker 1: prepared for it and you're not ready for it. And
- 52:31Speaker 1: you're anointed, but you're not appointed. And you're going through
- 52:35Speaker 1: a crisis and you're here and you look funny and
- 52:38Speaker 1: you're dressed funny, but that's all right. I love you
- 52:40Speaker 1: so much. I'm going to cover you. I'm going to
- 52:53Speaker 1: cover you. I'm going to cover you. I know you
- 53:01Speaker 1: haven't even had a bath yet, but that's alright. I'm
- 53:04Speaker 1: going to cover your wretchedness. I'm going to cover your weakness.
- 53:08Speaker 1: I'm going to cover your sin. That's what salvation did.
- 53:11Speaker 1: It covered our ugliness. It covered our past. It covered
- 53:15Speaker 1: our background. It covered where we came from. It covered
- 53:19Speaker 1: our rags with his riches.
- 53:22Speaker 2: It made us appear as if we were him. It
- 53:27Speaker 2: covered up our circumstance. It covered up our weakness. He
- 53:31Speaker 2: gave me the garment of praise.
- 53:34Speaker 1: For the spirit of heaviness, the helmet of salvation, the
- 53:39Speaker 1: breastplate of righteousness. My feet are shod with the preparation
- 53:43Speaker 1: of the gospel. My loins are gird about with truth,
- 53:47Speaker 1: the sword of the spirit and the shield of faith.
- 53:50Speaker 1: And he has made me to sit in heavenly places
- 53:54Speaker 1: in Christ. Touch somebody and say, look at me now.
- 53:59Speaker 1: I haven't always been like this, but look at me now.
- 54:02Speaker 1: I haven't always been sister so-and-so and brother so-and-so and
- 54:06Speaker 1: pastor so-and-so and elder so-and-so and deacon so-and-so, but look
- 54:10Speaker 1: at me now.
- 54:11Speaker 2: I haven't always been a person that would be in
- 54:13Speaker 2: church on a Friday night praising God, leaping.
- 54:16Speaker 1: And dancing, but look at me now. He's given me
- 54:19Speaker 1: the garment of praise.
- 54:20Speaker 2: He gave me the oil.
- 54:21Speaker 1: Of joy for the ashes of mourning. He lifted my
- 54:24Speaker 1: heavy burdens. He broke my yokes. He took me from
- 54:28Speaker 1: the gutter of life. He made me what I am.
- 54:30Speaker 1: Now you can sit up and be dignified and you
- 54:33Speaker 1: can act cute because you belong here. But I know
- 54:37Speaker 1: that if it had not been for the Lord that
- 54:39Speaker 1: was on my.
- 54:40Speaker 2: Side, I would have.
- 54:50Speaker 1: Somebody tell him he made me what I am. He
- 54:57Speaker 1: made me what I am. He made me what I am.
- 55:03Speaker 1: That means, come here. That means now you got on
- 55:08Speaker 1: your princely robe. You got on your shield and you
- 55:12Speaker 1: got the sword. That means that I have humbled myself
- 55:17Speaker 1: that you might be exalted. I have become poor that
- 55:21Speaker 1: through my poverty you might be made rich. That's not
- 55:26Speaker 1: even your robe. It's my robe. It's my righteousness. It's
- 55:31Speaker 1: my holiness. It's my ministry. It's my sanctity. It's my anointing.
- 55:37Speaker 1: It's my covering. In fact, I'm going to send my
- 55:40Speaker 1: angels to encamp round about you. I'm going to send
- 55:43Speaker 1: my angels to guard you. All you got to do
- 55:46Speaker 1: is fear me, Lord. And the angels of the Lord
- 55:49Speaker 1: will encamp about them that fear.
- 55:51Speaker 2: Now, David.
- 55:57Speaker 1: I'm giving you my position. I'm giving you my place.
- 56:00Speaker 1: I'm going to make you an heir. and a joint
- 56:03Speaker 1: heir with me. So whenever you go to the Father,
- 56:08Speaker 1: don't go to the Father in your name, because you got.
- 56:12Speaker 2: On my suit.
- 56:13Speaker 1: But whatever you ask the Father in my name, he'll
- 56:18Speaker 1: do it. He don't even see you. I got you
- 56:22Speaker 1: so covered that he don't even see your past. Quit
- 56:26Speaker 1: talking about your past. Your past is covered by The
- 56:30Speaker 1: blood of the land. He don't even recognize you.
- 56:34Speaker 2: But if you ask him in.
- 56:36Speaker 1: My name, I'll open up the window.
- 56:40Speaker 2: Somebody shout yes. Shout yes. Shout yes. Yes.
- 57:12Speaker 2: .
- 57:23Speaker 1: Trust in his righteousness alone. Faultless to stand before the.
- 57:34Speaker 2: Throne.
- 57:38Speaker 3: Come here.
- 57:39Speaker 1: I know you don't want them to see you in
- 57:41Speaker 1: my coat. This is my message tonight. Now look at this.
- 57:50Speaker 1: Jesus took my rags so that I could have his riches.
- 58:01Speaker 1: And he went to the cross in my name so
- 58:06Speaker 1: that I could go to heaven in his name.
- 58:11Speaker 2: He took my place.
- 58:16Speaker 1: So much so that when the father saw him on
- 58:19Speaker 1: the cross, he didn't see him He saw me and
- 58:24Speaker 1: he judged my sins on Calvary's cross. And Jesus, who
- 58:30Speaker 1: did no wrong to go to hell, went in my
- 58:35Speaker 1: place so that I, who could do no.
- 58:38Speaker 2: Right, he didn't deserve it.
- 58:43Speaker 1: To go to hell for me. And I don't deserve
- 58:48Speaker 1: to go to heaven for him. But look at this grace.
- 58:53Speaker 1: It's in him I live. It's in him I move.
- 58:58Speaker 1: It's in him I have my people.
- 59:03Speaker 2: Now, now, I know it's Friday. You've been in church
- 59:07Speaker 2: all week. I'm not going to bother you.
- 59:09Speaker 1: But let me tell you something. God is going to
- 59:11Speaker 1: give you a blessing. The blessing is going to be
- 59:16Speaker 1: so awesome. You ain't even going to see it coming.
- 59:23Speaker 1: It's going to be a blessing that you don't deserve.
- 59:28Speaker 2: You're going to know you don't deserve it.
- 59:31Speaker 2: .
- 59:47Speaker 1: .
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: Yes! Yes! Just when the devil said no, God said yes!
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: Just when the devil said no, God said yes! Just
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: when the bank said no, God said yes! He said yes.
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: He said yes. I will do it. I will do it. Exceedingly.
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: Up and down. Everybody who got a coat.
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: Take your coat off and just lay it on somebody.
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: Just lay it on somebody, anybody. That's what God is
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: going to do for you.
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: He's going to lay it on you after you suffer.
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: God said, I'm going to lay it on you.
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: You're not even going to see it coming, but I'm
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: going to.
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: Lay it on you. Get ready.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: Yeah!
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: Yes!
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: Yes!
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: Yes! It's yours.
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: It's yours.
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: Receive it. Receive it. Receive it.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: It's yours.
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: Look at it. Talk at it. Live in it. Move
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: in it. Expect it. It's love.
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: Touch free people, tell them God's going to lay it
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: on you. God's going to lay it on you. He's
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: going to lay it on you.
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: He's going to lay it on you.
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: He's just going to lay it on you.
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: He's just going to lay it on you.
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: Now breathe him like you lost your mind. Breathe him
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: like it's yours. Yes. Yes. Give him a praise!
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: Yeah!
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: Yeah! Look at your neighbor and tell him you're getting
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: ready to go from rags to riches.
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: Yes! Yes! Yes, David! You awesome! Yes!
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: You brave!
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: Yes! Find somebody, find somebody you can touch and agree with.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: Take them by both hands. Take one person by both hands.
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: The anointing is in this place. You're holding somebody that
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: God wants to bless and sometimes they don't even feel worthy.
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: They remember something that makes them feel unworthy. They need
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: to know that God's got them covered. The enemy's been
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: holding guilt over top of their head, telling them they're
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: not ready and they're not prepared and they're not groomed
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: They're not polished. Squeeze their hand. You're holding a real person.
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: You're holding a person who's been through the fire, been
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: through the flood, been through hell and high water. You're
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: holding a survivor in your hands. Squeeze that hand. I
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: want you to know what a real miracle feels like.
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: That's a miracle in your hands right now. That's a
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: miracle you're touching right now. Don't ever tell anybody you
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: never felt a miracle.
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: That's a miracle right now. They should have been dead.
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: But God, who is rich in mercy, bless them anyway.
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: Squeeze that hand. There's a miracle to be released on
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: that person tonight. The Lord told me if I preach
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: this message, he was going to lay some blessings.
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: On his people.
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: He's just going to lay it on you. I want
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: you to touch and agree with them for an unexpected blessing.
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: I want you to touch and agree with them that
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: God's going to lay something on them that they don't
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: even feel worthy of.
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: There it is. Open your mouth and pray. Open your mouth.
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: The devil tried to kill him before he got here.
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: Tried to kill her before she ever got here. The
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: devil tried to destroy them. He's been after their mind.
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: He's been using their childhood and their past. The devil
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: is a liar. The anointing is moving all over this place.
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: It's moving tonight. It's healing tonight. It's flowing tonight. It's
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: touching tonight. You're going from rags to riches. He's already
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: prepared the blessing. Now he's going to prepare you. He's
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: already prepared the blessing. Now God is preparing you.
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: Get ready. He's going to redress you and reshape you
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: and remake you. Get ready.
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: He's going to give you a prepared blessing. A prepared
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: table in the presence of your enemies. He kept your
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: enemies alive so they could see that God was on
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: your side.
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: Lift your hands and worship him if you know this
