• 0:01

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect

• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

  Speaker 2: and Wonders. We'll get into that in just a moment,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: but first I'd like to say thank you and welcome

  Speaker 2: just say also, if you click that number seven, I

  Speaker 2: want you to be one of one thousand people at

  Speaker 2: least in this first batch. We really want to get

  Speaker 2: it up to ten thousand, but one of the first
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: one thousand people to come into the spiritual development session
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and connection. And please, please, please, this is one of
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Don't underestimate it. Yeah, let's go ahead and pray and
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: then we will get underway. Father and Heaven, thank you
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: for giving us the opportunity to come together at the
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: beginning of our work week, at the beginning of our day,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: to connect with you. I'm praying now, Father, that you
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: will transform our lives, that we will see your wonderful
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: works in our lives. In our lives Father, in Jesus name,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and Amen again. Okay. Signs, works and wonders. Okay,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: So there are times that people get confused about signs,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: works and wonders. Sometimes we put too much emphasi emphasies
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: on those because we're looking for something spectacular or fantastical
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to get our attention. Well, this is not what Jesus
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: is trying to do. When he does signs and works
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: and wonders. He's doing it because he is leading us
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: into a right connection with him. He's doing it as
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: he lived on planet Earth in league with God our Father.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And so his signs, his works, his wonders were all
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: in unison with God. They were never apart from God.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: They were never intended to be a proof of anything.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: And yeah, and yet and still we do know when
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: we see him with his signs, we see him in
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: his mighty works and wonders, he is indeed the Messiah. Yes,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: he indeed is the God, the Son, the one who
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: pre existed his body, who lived throughout eternity past. But
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: he had decided and volunteered in league with God our Father,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: to come here and save us from our sins. Okay,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: And so I know I said a lot. I said
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: a lot. But let's read a few passages and see
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: what we can gather from them. Okay. So we begin
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: now from the Book of John chapter five. That's the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Book of John, chapter five. And I will read verse seventeen,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: and the Bible reads but Jesus answered them, my father
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: worketh hitherto, and I work. Jesus is showing that he
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and his father continue to work together. From before you
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: ever knew Jesus on planet Earth, he was working with
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the Father. I'm going to come back to that verse twenty,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: verse twenty, for the Father loveth the son and show
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: with him all things that he himself himself doeth. And
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: he will show him greater works than these, that ye
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: may marvel see some of you who have these limited mindsets,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: some of you who can only believe when you see,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: God is going to show you something that you cannot
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: explain in your natural mind. And you are going to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: have to either worship God in the beauty of holiness
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: or decide to sear your own conscience as with an
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: hot iron and reject God. There will be no middle ground, okay,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: And so verse thirty six of John chapter five beginning there.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: But I have greater witness than that of John, the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: works which the Father hath given them given me to finish.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Excuse me. The same works that I do bear witness
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: of me that the Father hath sent me. So when
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: you see Jesus on the move, you see him with
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: his signs, works and wonders while he lived on planet Earth,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: as he taught the word of God with power and authority.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: When he commanded the devils, and even the devils did obey.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: When he commanded the sea winds and the waves to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: cease all of their mess and loudness and conflagration, like
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: when they had to listen, it was because he was
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: in league with God our Father. It was because he,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: in his divinity, was able to command, and those things
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: had to yield. Oh, I wish I had the time.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I wish I had the time. But he did nothing
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: separate from his father Verse thirty seven. And the Father himself,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: which had sent me, he hath born witness of me.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: seen his shape, And ye have not his word abiding
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: in you. He's speaking to his detractors. He's speaking to
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the ones who are supposedly the children of God and
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: the leaders of God's people. He is speaking to them
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: and saying, you've never seen the face of God our Father,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: but I have. You have not seen the fullness of
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the works of God our Father, But I have, Ah,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I have heard the voice of God our Father. I
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: am one with him. I have been in his presence,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I have seen him in the fullness of who he is,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: and you have not. And you don't have the word
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: in abiding in you, for whom the Bible continues, he
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: hath sent him. Ye believe not. How could you say
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: that you are connected to God and not believe in me?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: This is what Jesus is saying. How could you say
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: that you are connected to the Father, and yet you
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: do not believe in me? And so I am thinking back, like,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: what are the greatest works of God? And I know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I know, as I was preparing in my mind to
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: ask this question, I said, but Dave, you can't. You
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: can't rate the works of God. You can't put them
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: in a hierarchical order. Your mind is not sufficient to
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: even grapple with such a question. And so, in my
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: limited mindset, I try to answer. And I'm not saying
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I'm correct, but my mind is saying, okay, But the
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: one who created all things animate and inanimate, Jesus Christ,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the righteous one in league with God, our Father. That
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: is a manifestation of power that we are not able
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: to see in any other being, any other imaginative, imaginated being,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: any manufactured and fabricated being. Only God can create. Blessed
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: be his name. Can I say that again? Only God
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: can create. I know we say we're creative. I get it.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: That means that we borrowed something from God. Whatever we
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: do that we consider to be creative, we borrowed that
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: from God. And when we see Jesus saying, let there
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: be light, and there was light when we see Jesus
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: say that the waters need to be separated from the waters,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: and it was so when Jesus said, let the fruits
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: and vegetation come forth according to their own kind, along
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: with those creatures that creep upon the earth, those creatures
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: that swim in the seas, those creatures that populate the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: heavens in the air above us. When he said that
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: they should bring forth after their kind, and it was so.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: We see the signs, the works and wonders of God
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: in full swing. When Jesus came down and he molded
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: him a man and breathed into him the breath of life,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: and he became a living soul. When he performed that
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: surgery and created a woman, and Adam saw her and said,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I will call her woman because us she came forth
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: from man and Jesus breathed into her body the same
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: breath that is still in our lungs today. We see
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: that that is the signs that works, the wonders of
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: God in full swing. And also also when Jesus, the
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: creator of the universe, recreates us, he's doing this in
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: league with God, our Father. When he is giving us
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: salvation as a gift and we become new creatures. We're
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: seeing the signs and works of one and wonders in
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: our lives that no one can replicate. We yield our
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: will to Jesus Christ in league with our Father, and
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: we are saying peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
