- 2:03Speaker 2: And so if my friend Norman I talk to you
- 2:06Speaker 2: about him, I call him my baby brother. Really, since
- 2:09Speaker 2: my name is David, I call him Jonathan because we
- 2:12Speaker 2: have a special bond. Right. So if Jonathan we're here
- 2:15Speaker 2: right now with me, I wouldn't be able to get
- 2:17Speaker 2: a word in edgewise because he is enamored by the glory.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Jonathan loves the glory of God, and so do I.
- 2:28Speaker 2: But he has a unique and special love. So big
- 2:31Speaker 2: shout out to you, Jonathan, and I know you're jumping
- 2:35Speaker 2: all over the place if you're hearing this at this moment.
- 2:37Speaker 2: And so we begin now from the Bible Book of John,
- 2:40Speaker 2: chapter seventeen, and I will read beginning at verse one,
- 2:44Speaker 2: and the Bible reads these words spake Jesus and lifted
- 2:48Speaker 2: up his eyes to heaven, and he said, Father, the
- 2:51Speaker 2: hour has come. Glorify thy son, that thy son also
- 2:58Speaker 2: may glorify thee. And so what God, God the Son
- 3:01Speaker 2: is saying to God the Father is, we have done
- 3:04Speaker 2: good work down here, Father, and now I need you
- 3:07Speaker 2: to manifest yourself through this experience in a way that
- 3:13Speaker 2: will transform as many people as possible. You know what's
- 3:17Speaker 2: interesting about it. Jesus was preparing to give his life
- 3:21Speaker 2: on the cross, to lay down his life for the
- 3:24Speaker 2: sins of every human being who has lived or ever
- 3:26Speaker 2: will live. You see. And this is a manifestation of
- 3:30Speaker 2: the glory because because God loved us so much that
- 3:35Speaker 2: he gave us Jesus Christ. And so the fullness or
- 3:39Speaker 2: the fullest demonstration of that love is in Christ giving
- 3:43Speaker 2: his life for us. This is not something that human
- 3:46Speaker 2: beings can do. This is not something that ordinary human
- 3:49Speaker 2: beings can do. It took God in the flesh to do.
- 3:52Speaker 2: And that would be the fullest manifestation of the love
- 3:56Speaker 2: and power of God, the brightness of his love to
- 4:00Speaker 2: shine into the earth, so that hopefully more and more
- 4:04Speaker 2: brothers and sisters will be saved, when men, women, boys
- 4:09Speaker 2: and girls to be saved by God. And so the
- 4:13Speaker 2: hour is now come. Father, glorify your son, so that
- 4:18Speaker 2: that glory can also show honor to you, to show that,
- 4:22Speaker 2: to show that you could not just stand and watch
- 4:25Speaker 2: us die down here verse two. And thou hast given
- 4:30Speaker 2: him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal
- 4:35Speaker 2: life to as many as thou hast given him. Can
- 4:39Speaker 2: I just say this plenty good room in the kingdom
- 4:42Speaker 2: of a relationship with God, Like there's plenty good room
- 4:45Speaker 2: for people to be saved and transformed by the renewing
- 4:48Speaker 2: of our mind, to be saved by God. There is
- 4:51Speaker 2: plenty good room in the kingdom. And he said it's
- 4:54Speaker 2: unlimited verse three. And this is life eternal. They might
- 5:00Speaker 2: know thee You see, sometimes people try to intellectualize this thing.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Sometimes people try to make it more complicated than it
- 5:09Speaker 2: really is. If you want to know what eternal life is,
- 5:12Speaker 2: it's knowing God. It's a relationship, an intimate relationship with God.
- 5:17Speaker 2: How does God think and feel about us? What is
- 5:20Speaker 2: it that he would have us to do? How would
- 5:23Speaker 2: he have us to relate to the person who needs food?
- 5:26Speaker 2: How would he have us to relate to the person
- 5:28Speaker 2: who just needs a listening ear? How does God want
- 5:31Speaker 2: his love to be manifest through our lives so that
- 5:36Speaker 2: others can be saved? This is eternal life, that they
- 5:40Speaker 2: may know THEE, the only True God, and Jesus Christ,
- 5:45Speaker 2: whom Thou has sent. I have glorified THEE on the earth.
- 5:48Speaker 2: That is, when people saw Jesus living on planet Earth,
- 5:52Speaker 2: they saw what he did and did not do. They
- 5:54Speaker 2: saw how his compassion looked. How they saw the transformative
- 5:58Speaker 2: power the sick, raise the dead, delivered people from the
- 6:03Speaker 2: enemy's hands his grip. When people saw that, they were like, Oh,
- 6:08Speaker 2: that's what God is like. When they saw the love
- 6:11Speaker 2: in his eyes, they said, oh, that's what God is like.
- 6:15Speaker 2: And so what God really wants for us is to
- 6:17Speaker 2: be a manifestation of the same I wish I had
- 6:20Speaker 2: the time. I have glorified THEE on the Earth. I
- 6:24Speaker 2: have finished the work which thou hast given me to do.
- 6:28Speaker 2: And now, O God, O Father, glorify thou me with
- 6:32Speaker 2: thine in thine own self, with the glory which I
- 6:36Speaker 2: had with THEE before the world was. Jesus is saying,
- 6:42Speaker 2: the mission on planet Earth is nearly done. We are here.
- 6:46Speaker 2: I manifested your power, I manifested your character. I am
- 6:49Speaker 2: powered people so that they can be saved. And I'm
- 6:52Speaker 2: about to give my life. Finally, I'm going to die
- 6:56Speaker 2: on the cross and save people from their sins. And
- 7:00Speaker 2: you just let me come back up there. I want
- 7:03Speaker 2: to come back up to heaven and live in the
- 7:05Speaker 2: way that I lived before I took on human flesh,
- 7:10Speaker 2: the fullness like the Manifestation, not limited by humanity anymore,
- 7:15Speaker 2: not needing to be hungry, not needing to get tired,
- 7:19Speaker 2: not needing to suffer through physical pain anymore, the fullness
- 7:23Speaker 2: of who I was from before there was a beginning?
- 7:26Speaker 2: Can we get back to that? Because I finished my
- 7:29Speaker 2: work on planet Earth, and I love it because it
- 7:34Speaker 2: shows that God accomplishes his goals. He accomplishes his goals,
- 7:39Speaker 2: so you can accomplish your goals. You don't have to
- 7:42Speaker 2: just sit there and say, why I keep I keep failing?
- 7:45Speaker 2: Why do I keep doing the negative or wrong thing?
- 7:47Speaker 2: Why am I still bound?
- 7:49Speaker 1: No?
- 7:50Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no. Jesus manifested the truth. He showed
- 7:53Speaker 2: us that we can actually accomplish the goals that he blesses.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Wish I had the time. Let's go ahead here and
- 8:02Speaker 2: talk about seven lessons that we can draw from this
- 8:06Speaker 2: truth that we just read in John chapter seventeen. The
- 8:09Speaker 2: first one comes from the book of Ecclesiastes, chapter three
- 8:12Speaker 2: and verse one. To every thing, there is a season,
- 8:17Speaker 2: a time to every purpose under the sun. And so
- 8:20Speaker 2: we see the time that Jesus needed to invest on
- 8:23Speaker 2: planet Earth so that we could be saved, and he
- 8:26Speaker 2: went back to Heaven ultimately so that during that time
- 8:30Speaker 2: until now that he can minister, he can minister in
- 8:34Speaker 2: a way that can transform us and cleanse us from
- 8:36Speaker 2: all of our unrighteousness. So there is a time for
- 8:39Speaker 2: everything and a season for everything under the sun, including
- 8:42Speaker 2: God's mercy. His mercy will continue until it's not continuing.
- 8:47Speaker 2: His mercy will continue until we have made our final
- 8:50Speaker 2: decision for or against God, and then mercy will stop
- 8:55Speaker 2: her call and that time will have ended. What is
- 8:58Speaker 2: your decision today? Really, we don't have tomorrow. And then
- 9:02Speaker 2: there is a paradox of glory through suffering. There's glory
- 9:06Speaker 2: through suffering in Jesus's reality, and so in Romans chapter five,
- 9:12Speaker 2: verses three through five, it says, and not only so,
- 9:14Speaker 2: but we glory and tribulations also, knowing that tribulation work
- 9:19Speaker 2: of patience, and patience, experience and experience hope, and hope
- 9:24Speaker 2: maketh not ashamed, because the love of God is shed
- 9:28Speaker 2: abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is
- 9:32Speaker 2: given unto us. I'm grateful. I'm grateful that God shows
- 9:36Speaker 2: us his glory in the suffering that Jesus went through.
- 9:40Speaker 2: It wasn't too much for him, and he wanted to
- 9:43Speaker 2: save us, and so we did.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
- 9:48Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
- 9:51Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
- 9:54Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
