topic today that's going to really
minister to you and right before we do I
just want to encourage you repost this
everywhere you can share it the reason
is is when people get the word of God
there's no antidote to the culture and
the things everybody's dealing with like
the word of God we go into the Bible and
when you get the Bible in your heart in
your mind it begins to renew you it
strengthens you you'll begin to outgrow
your yoke according to Isaiah 10:27
you'll begin to outrun your enemies in
the rain you'll begin to see the power
of God manifesting through you but the
Holy Spirit doesn't have much to work
with if he doesn't have the word of God
inside of a vessel and this is something
we're going to get into but really I'm
going to talk about you and what you're
called to do you are destined listen to
me you're destined to mature destined
for it you're destined to outgrow where

get a hold of them and call them and
bless them but I want to get into the
word of God today I hope you repost this
share this let's go for it today and go
into what the Bible says about you about
your future and I want to start out this
way you know
you are destined to mature you're not
destined to just continue down the same
path and never grow never increase never
become what God has called you to be
rather you are called to go higher
you're called to go farther you're
called to really bring light into a
generation and your light really
represents your Revelation knowledge it
represents uh you're going out you're
coming in it represents what God has
marked you for it represents your
ability and your Radiance meaning your
influence or your impact on those around
you and it also involves your destiny
what God's marked you to do in your life
and the purpose he brings for you now
let me go here if I could write in the
Bible I want to show you on the board
let's go to the board and this is out of
of course Proverbs chapter 4 and verse
18 I want you to see this Proverbs
chapter 4 and verse 18 notice it says
but the
path of the righteous is like the light
of dawn some translations say it's like
the first light of dawn it's like the
very beginning light of dawn but it's
like the light of dawn that shines
brighter and brighter until the full day
notice it doesn't say the path of the
righteous is just kind of there and uh
you just survive until you kind of get
through the night it doesn't say that it
says the path of the righteous of course
someone of the nasb the path of the
righteous is like the light of dawn that
shines brighter and and brighter until
the full day that's talking about until
the maximum brightness in your day the
path of the righteous it shines brighter
and brighter and brighter until the full
light of day God has not called you to
just sustain and be where you are he's
called you to increase he's called you
to produce he's called you to continue
going forward and this is what the
Christian walk is all about you
recognize it talks about in The Book of
habc it talks about in the word of God
very clearly that it is by faith how do
the the just live how do we live how do
we walk by faith the just shall live by
their faith and this is something you
recognize is that Progressive walk with
the Lord where you're ever growing ever
learning ever going from glory to glory
until you ultimately arrive as Psalm 84
says Zion right and so this is something
we've got to understand you're never
going to arrive but you can leave where
you are and continue to mature mature as
a matter of fact when you've SE in the
Bible over and over again the Bible
tells us be perfect as your heavenly
father is perfect you see that word for
Perfection over and over again in
scripture what it really means is be
mature mature in the word of God how do
you mature in the word of God by reading
it until it starts talking back to you
when you read the Bible until it starts
talking back to you that's when you
start to get Real Results what does it
mean when it starts talking back to you
what I mean by that is you read the
Bible until it influences your
decisionmaking until it influences what
you believe is real until it influences
your convictions it influences your
moral compass it influences everything
and you'll come to the point that you no
longer say here's my opinion on the
matter because quite frankly most of the
time our opinions don't
matter people want to give their opinion
on the matter when really their opinion
doesn't matter we need to give our
opinion if it's based on the word of God
I've learned more and more to not really
give give my opinion on certain things
cuz my opinion might be wrong but the
word of God is always true let God Be
True in every man a liar now let me look
right at you I want to look right at you
I'm so glad you're here I'm so glad
you're here you know we we broadcast
every single day now every single day
I'm here all the time every day every
single weekday
morning and of course on the weekends
and I just want to say it is a it is a
delight to be here with you but the
reason I do it is number one God's
called us to do it but also we really
care about you my team and I we care
about you that's why I'm here that's why
I do red church and sometimes Heather
will be with me and we do this together
but I just got to tell you it's very
important but one more time let me show
you the scripture then I want to go
forward because it's very vital now look
with me if you would again at the board
at Proverbs Chapter 4 Verse 18 notice
again but the path of the righteous is
like the light of dawn that shines
brighter and brighter until the full day
now let's go to John 1 and verse 12 John
1:12 I want you to see something on the
board here John chapter 1 and verse
12 this is a very strong understanding
now look at this it says here but as
many as have received him do you see
that word received you can see that word
received it says as have or as another
version says as have but it says
received past tense him as many as have
already received him to them he gave the
right to become so here's past tense
here's future tense past tense future
tense if you received him that means you
have a standing with him I'll say it a
better way this is conversion as many as
have become converts of the Lord Jesus
Christ you've been converted your heart
is with him you are with the Lord it
says as many as have received him to
these same ones to them he gave the
right to become rights don't just happen
automatically you have to enforce them
does that make sense rights don't just
happen automatically you must enforce
them you can have rights but if you
don't have a good attorney you could
have rights but if you don't enforce
them if you don't know your rights you
can be robbed of a circumstance even
though you had the right to have
something or do something or have
victory in a scenario but if you don't
know that you're not able to enforce it
or pursue your rights they don't just
automatically come to pass even though
they're available for you but as many as
have received him to them he gave the
right to become children of God so
there's a lot of I'll say it a better
way there's a lot of converts they've
received him but not a lot of disciples
who become children of God disciples are
those who say I'm going to follow and
I'm going to I'm going to pursue this
right I have to become more so you could
receive the Lord Jesus Christ but the
way you become a child of God as you
pursue him that's called discipleship
you dis you pursue
him did you know you can't be a disciple
of the Lord without being a student of
the words of the Lord do you know that a
lot of people think I'm a disci if I
were to ask you are you a disciple of
Jesus people say well yes I am why well
because I I got born again and I I
follow Jesus well how do you follow
Jesus well I pray I I worship well
that's very good and that's very
vital but that doesn't make you a
disciple you're only a discipline
follower of Jesus if you listen and
meditate and
practice the words of Jesus or the words
of the Bible the whole book not just
what you read and read but all the Bible
the words of Jesus he is the word made
flesh and you've got to be a student of
this or you're not a disciple you might
be a convert you might be on your way to
heaven you might not even know it at
that point but you need to begin to
practice the words of Jesus you meditate
on the words of Jesus the word of God
period the whole book until it begins to
change you from the inside out that's a
disciple a disciple is a follower a
meditator a reader a a dedicated
follower and believer a practitioner of
the word of God but you got to do it by
believing it mixing it with your faith
and not having a form of Godly where
it's religion and you're trying to do
all the right things for all the wrong
reasons you need to get the word of God
in you and it'll begin to transform you
but
notice as many as have received him to
them he gave the right to become
children of God even to those who
believe in his name who believe in his
name believing in his name means you
take on his name you believe in the name
of Jesus but you walk by the faith of
Jesus and in the faith of the Son of God
you got to take on Christ you take him
on you put on Christ you begin to become
a new man in him old things are passed
away behold All Things become new when
you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord
but you won't know the fullness of that
unless you begin to become a disciple of
that so there's many converts but you
need to become a disciple a disciplined
follower of Jesus now let me look right
at you again so
important so important you know God
wants you to win even more than you do
and he's given you an Avenue and a
pathway for this and in life especially
with what we've been seeing in the world
and the way things are going it can
become a challenge to continue walking
with the the Lord or in the word of God
because you can look at things
empirically with your own observation
with your own mind and you can say my
goodness this doesn't seem right the
world we should be winning where is God
in all this have you ever asked the
question where is God in all this I've
prayed I've seen this where are some of
the things we're looking for why is the
world going this way why is God not
acting well I want to present to you
right now that God acted 2,000 years ago
when Jesus gave his life on the cross
and poured out his blood for you he
acted and in that action of Jesus giving
his blood for you that is also why we
say going red or that's why we're the
red church because the blood of Jesus
that he poured out for you on the cross
through the beating and bruising of his
body came because he was cutting
Covenant with God and man he was making
a way for you he was making a blood
Covenant with you before God pouring out
his blood so when he poured out his
blood he was the ultimate sacrifice
greater than any animal in the Old
Testament he fulfilled the requirements
of the law therefore you're keeping for
example the Sabbath on Tuesday night in
your sleep because Christ is the
Fulfillment the law and the things of
the law and all that was a shadow of
things to come Christ is the Fulfillment
of it as Colossians tells us he is the
Fulfillment of those things that were a
shadow and a lot of people today are
still hanging on to Shadows saying oh my
goodness I need to hang on to all these
Old Testament narratives and try to
fulfill them in the flesh when you
follow Jesus and you give your life to
Jesus you're keeping all the
Commandments you're keeping all the laws
and rules and regulations there's not
just 10 commandments by the way there's
6113 ordinances rules and ordinances and
laws and commands and all this stuff and
you put that together you got 613 moral
and monial laws you put all that
together and you you can't keep that but
the Book of James says if you break just
one of those you're guilty of all of
them so the bottom line is people say
you got to keep the Sabbath yeah but
what about gluttony you got to keep the
Sabbath yeah but what about um what
about if you didn't keep the new Moon
Festival do you guys keep the new Moon
Festival you know there's things you got
to recognize that you can begin to miss
and the bottom line is this and I
believe in the Sabbath I believe in a
day of rest I believe in all that please
don't misunderstand me what I'm saying
this is is Jesus is the Fulfillment of
the law and you need to honor the law
you need to read the Old Testament you
need to stay in the word of God until it
starts talking back to you but when
you're in Christ Jesus the Lord Jesus
plus nothing equals everything he
fulfills all of it when you receive him
and a disciple is someone that begins to
know what they got in him but people
that are not disciples they believe I
got to do more I got to try harder I got
to really try to please God today you
know I prayed an hour now I better pray
two hours or God won't be pleased it's
not true God's already pleased because
of Jesus when he looks at you and you're
born again he sees Jesus and he's not
mad at Jesus he's no longer pouring out
judgment and wrath on Jesus he took it
all out on him 2,000 years ago but
here's the thing you got to give your
life to him you got to repent you got to
stay in the vine right you got to stay
in Christ and when you do that you're
fulfilling all those things you're
turning away the wrath of God that was
on unbelief and all those things in the
Old Testament Jesus is Lord and he wants
you to know him in that that
understanding now when I'm saying this a
lot of people say well you know there's
a really difficult thing going on in the
world the world is challenging yes it is
and I believe in the Ten Commandments I
believe in the word of God and most
people can't quote The Ten Commandments
when you ask them you know do you know
the Ten Commandments people say I don't
know listen when you begin to follow
Jesus he is the answer he's not
abolishing the law listen to to me the
law didn't go away a lot of people say
that and there's a there's a term in a
church history in studies called
antinomianism which it means to be
against the law and I I am so against
that teaching we need to be pro-law and
pro- full counsel of God pro- Old
Testament pro- New Testament but you got
to realize you can't possibly keep every
commandment in the Old Testament because
you don't even know them all okay so
what am I saying what I'm saying is if
you're in Christ Jesus you're Lord Lord
you're keeping all the Commandments all
of them he made it possible for you to
come to the Lord you could look at it
this way when you read the Old Testament
and you read all the laws and
Commandments and all the things that are
required for righteousness you know what
it really does it declares everyone
guilty everyone across the board you're
guilty guilty but Jesus comes and you
receive him and he says come unto me all
you are who are weary I'll give you rest
come unto me you who thirst I will give
you drink when you come unto Jesus he
declares you innocent when you call in
the name of the Lord you say Lord I
can't do this on my own I need a savior
I'm not good enough and the answer is
you figured it out Bingo you're not good
enough you need Jesus you need Jesus the
law doesn't we don't try to keep the law
to be perfect before God the law should
drive you like a tutor Galatians says
drive you like a tutor to the answer and
that is Jesus Christ you give give your
life to Jesus you don't give your life
to Jesus and then say now watch this let
me go keep these laws you give your life
to Jesus you live by the faith of the
Son of God in the faith of Jesus in
faith in Jesus and that is how you
continue to walk in him as you received
him by grace through faith so walk ye in
him this is when you recognize that you
are beginning to walk in a life of
discipleship the more you meditate on
Jesus the more you read the Bible the
more you let it talk back to you the
more you're going to begin have a
revelation of what he really did for you
he not only saved you from hell he saved
you from a hamster wheel of Works he
saved you from doing and trying and
never achieving he saved you from it all
and said all that I have is
yours all that I have is yours all of it
but you got to receive it and you got to
become a disciple of his word to get a
revelation of that and I'll tell you
what that is how winning is done you
can't get that at Walmart but you can
get it through prayer faith and reaching
out to the Lord Jesus Christ now listen
to me let me go over here I want to read
another scripture to you because so many
people are caught up in the difficulty
of Life the difficulty of the world and
it's
challenging the world really is
challenging but he's made a way for you
where there seems to be no way I'm
telling you I actually have a sense you
know I'm here today and I'm with you for
church and as you're watching would you
please shout out going red
I have such a
sense I'll share the scripture with you
in a second I'm gonna I'm going to go to
the
board I'm gonna go to the board I I
just get these prophetic things and so
here's me trying to teach the word of
God but I'm going to share a little
prophetic Insight with you right here at
church today let me go over here to the
board I believe that there's much
happening in the world and let's just
say this is the next year of your
life okay the next year of your life and
in this next year I just see a timeline
going and I see on the top side of
things there's going to be
difficulty okay pressing down on this I
see you know
economic issues right pressing down I
see health issues pressing down I see
everything from social issues pressing
down then you got obviously the
political obviously pressing down you've
got Global nefarious
things pressing down you've got uh wild
weather and ecological things pressing
down the world's getting crazier and
crazier and crazier right but this is no
big deal this is just called this is
what the Bible calls you know Matthew
24 Matthew 24 this is what we know as
birth pangs welcome to the Bible okay
now when we're looking at this here's
what I sense for
you I sense for those of you that know
this and it's based on what you know and
what you're practicing with the word of
God if you're not practicing the word of
God well you're going to be impacted by
all this you'll be in a natural line and
your natural line will experience all of
this weight
unless come on unless you begin to
recognize there's a
bloodline a
covenant in his blood
we could just call this
red
red a
covenant made by the blood of what the
blood of
God Jesus God In the Flesh the God man
100% man 100%
God Jesus readed the blood of the Lamb
going red
okay what I sense is that because of
this Covenant this will press upon your
life but it's going to be answered by
your
Covenant I hope you're catching me all
of this that wants to come down rain
down on you in the natural wants to come
down on your life but the Covenant blood
of the Lamb says hold up hold up because
in the Covenant you have
righteousness you have
peace you got joy in the Holy
Ghost you got
you got
faith and when you activate faith and
mix that with your Covenant I'll tell
you what you will
overcome I actually believe under these
times of great pressure diamonds are
produced in pressure and these things
that you've lost or you've been pressed
with I really call this these are the
times of we'll call it
this we could call it what do we want to
call it let's call it
seeds okay seeds you say seeds oh yeah
difficulty what you swn in
tears Psalm 26 says
seeds Okay what you've sewn in tears
Psalm 26 so clearly says you will reap
what with songs of Joy what does that
mean it means that though you're in
difficulty in times of difficulty as
you're sewing and you're standing in
faith it's like you're sewing but your
Covenant turns what was sorrow and Ashes
it turns it into Joy it turns what you
bring to God with nothing and say I'm
under all this pressure but I respond
with faith in the blood of the lamb and
then what's going to happen is all of
this is going to be turned into
something else these seeds Psalm
126
seeds all of this it's going to be
turned into something magnificent this
Psalm 126 narrative is going to cause
the seeds and pressure what do I mean by
seeds let me be more specific when the
world says freak out you say no no I'm
lining up with the blood the blood says
I am blessed even though it says
economic hardship you say no Jesus Paid
he paid it all and therefore I'm in
God's economy and I'm going to sew like
it or you you hear about health issues
right you hear about things with health
health or or trials and you say well
wait a second I'm supposed to be ill and
sick and all this stuff's coming against
but you know what I'm not doing that I'm
going to stand up in the blood of the
lamb and say by Jesus Stripes I was
healed I was healed 2,000 years ago I
stand in faith and Liberty that I am
well if I was I am in Christ he is the
Living God and I stand in the blood of
Jesus therefore my flesh is well and you
can say that the same power that raised
Christ from the dead dwells in me now
your experience in the natural may be
Global disaster weather political issues
uh social issues Health you know you got
the yooo Pervert crew whatever you got
all these things going crazy and it
comes in it against the blood of the
lamb but in this time your seeds are
acts of faith acts of demonstration
words of spoken confession in the word
of God you're believing the Bible
speaking it that way you're standing in
the word of God against the culture in a
perverse generation speaking it out and
standing on your Covenant regardless of
what it looks like in your face at the
moment that's what faith is Faith looks
at the mountain and says no you move you
move you
move it might be dark in Egypt but it's
light and Goan they might be in Egypt
looking in Goan right in the blood of
the Lamb you're in Goan this is Egypt
this is Goan and you got to recognize
whatever is going on in the world around
you you can stand and rise up against
these Wicked nefarious spirits that want
to push you into a place of deep
depression fear anxiety and the number
one way I stand against it is I sow tell
you what it's the number one way it's
the number one test you sew you say it's
difficult get me the checkbook I do that
all the time that's what you break
through look at this Covenant blood of
the Lamb this is what happens what I
sense
coming how can I say this even better
here's what I sense coming in this
timeline of the next year that's what
we're talking about here right the next
year in the timeline of this next year
because of this Covenant blood I believe
there's going to be
promises
released if you can stand in faith and
you can act accordingly God loves to be
challenged he loves to be challenged he
loves it when people say it looks this
way but your word says the word says the
word says if you can be that way in the
middle of Darkness the word says you
know what that does it puts God's word
in a place where you're dis esteeming
evil and disesteem darkness and
beginning to rise and shine and believe
him over the circumstances that you're
looking at you begin to believe God and
you will see the goodness of the Lord in
the land of the living what am I talking
about it means this I actually sense in
the spirit this is me going out in faith
by even a prophetic unction I see when
all this stuff's going crazy I see land
anointings I see land I see I see
Financial Miracles a
sustaining force from Heaven I see
healing and
health I see the power of God rising up
in this time where you're going to have
miracul turnarounds and and here's what
I want to say
miracle
turnarounds and it's going to push back
against the culture I see it pushing
back against the culture I see this
pushing back and it's going to be a sign
and a Wonder to those around you how
this begins to happen and let me call it
even a better word I'll say an even
better word for this let me put it right
here all of this these seeds sewn under
duress Under Pressure you know what I
see here's what I call this I'm going to
just call it what I see it as I've seen
it put it right
here I don't know how to say it any
better so I'm just going to say it the
way I see
it this is the word God gave me that
this next season when all this is going
on the kind of seed you so of faith and
what I mean by seed I'm talking about
when you do these acts of righteousness
acts of faith in the middle of pressure
and you react opposite by the word of
God you react opposite you know what I
see coming I call
this
diamond
seeds let me really emphasize this
because I want to talk to you about what
I
mean what do I mean by
diamond
seeds all your days all your
sacrifices are coming up before the Lord
like a sweet smelling Savor but not just
up before him there's a kingdom
principle that when you obey and you you
seek first the kingdom of God seek first
his kingdom and all his righteousness
these things these things will be added
unto you seeking first the kingdom all
these things will be added unto you what
do what do I mean by diamond seeds I
mean seeds sown under great pressure
seeds sewn under great difficulty seeds
that are sown they're going to be
diamond seeds in other words they go
into pressure under pressure you do
what's right anyway you act right
because it's right you live holy because
it's right you do what the Bible says
even if the whole world loses it's mind
you refuse to you refuse to that's
diamond seed that's when you're
beginning to say it doesn't look right
it doesn't feel right but I'm going to
act in faith according to the word of
God anyway and when I do this it's going
to be like coal going into the ground
right coal going into the ground and
when it goes into the ground that
pressure of the Season that time that is
exponentially painful it just crushes
and crushes and impacts and impacts what
you're swing in there is like a coal
right it goes in but that pressure turns
that coal that seed that precious
action into a diamond
and I believe diamond seeds if you don't
give into the seed War when you sew and
then it's like all this stuff comes
against it but instead you see a return
it will come back and victory will
happen because Victory belongs to Jesus
all your days all your sacrifices they
are seen by God they come up before him
they are absolutely known by the lord
they're known in the hour of the
visitation they are known by Heaven they
are known by God God wants you to win
more than you do he wants you to live
move and have your
being what you've done and nobody's
seen the Lord sees God
knows he's proud of
you if you've done misbehaving in
nobody's seen repent repent of it turn
away from it give your life to Jesus
he's so merciful he loves you we love
you turn away give your life to Jesus
and watch the goodness of the Lord
manifest in the land of the living watch
it watch it
happen man I hope you're sharing this
with somebody right now now we're on a
lot of platforms we're here we're live
it is it is church this is us doing
church on Sunday
morning the red Church somebody shout
out go and
red but I want to say to you in the
middle of all that's going on God wants
wants you to win even more than you do
I'll say it a better way God needs you
to win even more than you need it and
you say well why would he God doesn't
need anything he doesn't need anything
well yes he does because if he could
have got the Great Commission fulfilled
without you for the last 2,000 years he
would have but he's chosen by his great
Sovereign Mercy to limit himself to a
bunch of people he's put his trust in
called the body of Christ and that's why
we got to go win more win the lost so we
can grow the body and take over what
God's called us to do the acquired or
required amount of territory we're
called to take which the Lord is waiting
I believe for the right number of people
to get born again or something so Jesus
can return and we got to get busy we're
going to occupy until he comes but the
way we do it is by doing all our days
all our sacrifices and lifting up holy
hands before him and continuing to press
forward listen I I don't care what
happens in the world
as for me in my house we've decided it
doesn't matter we're going to serve the
Lord it doesn't matter to
us we're going to serve the Lord if the
whole world loses its mind as it wants
to the spirit of the age wants to lose
its mind as it continues to lose its
mind I'm going to serve the Lord I'm
going to stay in the
book going to read the book if they say
you will refer to things a certain way
you will honor labels and uh the way
people want to be called you will honor
that you will do what we demand that you
do here's my answer to
that
no no I will do what the book says to do
if the whole world goes mad because a
man or woman with a revelation is not at
the mercy of a culture gone mad I don't
care if y'all lose your mind I'm
sticking with
Jesus and I think there's a lot of you
that going to stick with Jesus somebody
say I'm staying with Jesus comment that
right now
I'm going red I'm staying with the
Lord let me go into a little more here
let me look right at you come here I
want to look at
you looking right at
you go with me in your Bible if you
would if you have your Bible I want you
to look at this with me go with me in
your
Bible to
Psalm 73 Psalm
73 I want you to notice something here
Psalm 73 let's put it on the board verse
one Psalm
73:1 um but let's get a running start
here I'll show you on the board but
let's get a running start let's go
forward
actually no let's just start Psalm 73:1
surely God is good to Israel to those
who are pure in heart verse two but as
for me now listen carefully this is
important this is where a lot of people
are I'm talking about the answer already
but I want to go into the word of God
and show you something please share this
with somebody please pay very close
attention to where I'm going with this
this this is going to greatly help you
it's going to help those of you who are
watching share this share this share
this what I'm about to share is going to
help somebody it's going to help you not
get offended when difficulty happens
it's going to help you not be offended
when darkness strikes it's not going to
it's going to help you overcome when you
see other people thriving and prospering
in the world and they're heathens slimy
heathens okay you know a lot of the
reason people do so well in the world is
they're going in the same direction as
the devil you ever think of that the
reason so many people are doing well in
the world and in the world's system is
they're in the same flow as Darkness the
world's saying oh this is great let's
just get in this River on our way to
Hell together let's head to Hell
together but when you get born again
suddenly you turn around and you're
going up current you're going against
the flow and now you got oncoming
traffic you're facing oncoming traffic
but look at this but as for me here's
the psalmist
talking it's Asaf David's worship leader
prophetic worship leader but as for me
my feet came close to stumbling what my
steps had almost slipped verse three for
I was get this
envious of the
Arrogant as I saw the
prosperity of the wicked that's strong
isn't it I was envious of the Arrogant
now let me see people say I'm not
envious of the Arrogant arrogant people
are terrible well hold on there's a lot
of people they watch all the Social
Media stuff they're watching all kinds
of you know Instagram Tik Tok whatever
or they're watching movies
magazines whatever and they see
celebrities of different people and
they're saying oh I kind of want to be
like that I want to do that I want to
act like that you know there's nothing
wrong with being fit and doing the stuff
and trying to you know raise the
standard raise the bar higher I think
that's great I like Excellence but not
when it's arrogance based not what is to
become better so you are like I've
finally found my
identity I finally found my identity you
know it's
like you know like if you're like you I
just want to have a haircut like Joseph
I just want that haircut
oh you know you just got to you got to
really put it in perspective a lot of
people a lot of
people um I think of that that veggie
song where is my hairbrush oh where is
my hairbrush why do you want a hairbrush
you don't have any hair right anyway
look at this for I was envious of the
Arrogant as I saw the prosperity of the
wicked people are envying stupid stuff
stuff that's going to burn up in
eternity and the Lord's saying to you
don't envy or be don't be envious of the
arrogant people that are have everything
in this life there's something different
I want to really get down to this today
because a lot of times we think and we
set a standard for ourselves based on
the culture we're living in the
Zeitgeist mood of the culture is how we
begin to try to compare ourselves among
ourselves and that's not wise but let's
look at this or they see the prosperity
of the wicked and their arrogant they
envy that go to verse four for there are
no pains in their death isn't that
interesting people think oh there's no
pains in their death their life is so
easy even when they go there's no pains
in their death now this translation is
funny it says and their body is fat now
let me just say to you this translation
makes it kind of funny this is more like
a you know a play on words but this
actually means their body is healthy
it's got everything they want fat in
this context isn't fat like we think in
the culture today like give me a bag of
marshmallow and I'll show you fat that's
not what it's talking about it's talking
about and their body is fat it means
their body is luxurious it's beautified
it's it's got everything they want
they're bursting with prosperity is what
the context of this is it's actually not
talking about staypuff Marshmallow Man
verse five they are not in trouble as
other men nor are they plagued like
mankind their life is easy I want to
have a life like they have look at how
wonderful it is look at how wonderful it
is verse six therefore Pro
is their
necklace the Garment of
violence covers them the Garment of
violence covers them verse seven their
eyes bulge from fatness or their eyes
bulge another way to say it is with
abundance you could say they have more
than any heart could wish the
imaginations of their heart run Riot or
you could say they have more than
somebody could want the imag imagination
of their heart run wild they can do
anything they want anything they can
think of these ones have I want to be
like that that's what people are
thinking this is like the genie in a
lamp culture money is the genie you know
the devil can't have the anointing so he
gives people money the wrong kind of
money I mean Mammon he gives a Mammon so
they can disregard the anointing because
the anointing will move hell out of the
way the money will just make you
comfortable in the middle of your
Disobedience but if you can take money
and make it serve the Lord Make It serve
the gospel now it's called called the
blessing and money is not a blessing
it's a tool but when you get in the
blessing money is amazing for the
kingdom but not mammo not this stuff
where you spend it on your own desires
that's called Mammon now verse eight
verse eight they scoff they mock speak
wickedly of of Oppression and they speak
from on
high they speak loftily they speak
highly about things right verse 9 they
set their mouth against the heavens
that's crazy and they tongue parades
through the Earth their tongue just
walks through the Earth they can do
whatever they want say what they want
about what they want and there's no
problem for them it seems verse 10
therefore his people return to his place
and the Waters of abundance are drunk by
them they can do whatever they want and
they have the whole earth at their
fingertips let me just jump down a
little bit to verse 11 they say how does
God know and is there knowledge with the
most high in other words they're like
there is no God I mean I got everything
I need why do I need God that's how
people operate hang with me this is
really important where I'm going now
remember the psalmist said ASA he said
the world is so like this it would
almost seem that it's more favorable to
not serve God than serve God why should
i serve God if he has the blessing but
it seems so hard I'm going to get there
hang in here verse 12 behold these are
the wicked and always at ease doesn't it
seem like some people it's like their
life isn't hard compared to what you've
had to deal with just not hard
and you're going through all kinds of
turmoil and difficulty we are well
acquainted with that
Journey they have increased in wealth in
riches verse 13 here comes the
conclusions now the psalmist is looking
at this he said my feet almost slipped
that's how he started this and he lays
out why and here's his conclusion as to
why they almost slipped verse 13 surely
in vain I have kept my heart pure I did
right before you God and these people
get all this I do right and I seems like
I get punished and I I don't get
rewarded for what I've done and I've
washed my hands I've cleansed my heart
I've washed my hands in
innocence but it's been in vain in vain
if I had Clean Hands I should go act
like them and then I'll have a great
life is what he's saying maybe I should
just go act like the world is that how
I'm blessed God hang in here with me
verse 14 for all day long I've been
plagued I've been stricken all day
and chastened every morning difficulty
has been my reward is what the psalmist
is saying verse
15 and if I had said I will speak thus
behold I would have betrayed the
generation of your
children if I had said I will speak this
behold it would have been I would have
been untrue to the generation of your
children verse 16 let's look at this
when I pondered to understand what was
going on between this dichotomy of Good
and Evil when I when I pondered it
it was too painful for me it was
Troublesome in my sight the new King
James says it it was too painful for me
to understand it was too painful for me
to understand let's put it up in the new
King
James let's put it up in the new King
James verse 17 I'll go to new King
James it says until look at this here
comes the answer are you
ready he's going through all these
things and he's saying this was
difficult this was challenging what do I
do about it it seems like the world's
way is way better but serving God and
keeping his word and being a disciple of
the
word it doesn't seem like it pays
off that's what the psalmist was saying
it would seem better if I served the
world but he then pivots now check this
out until I went into the sanctuary of
God then
[Music]
then
then I
understood their
end now
listen in a world gone mad in a jacked
up World in a culture that is just out
of control I encourage you to get my
teaching surviving a jacked up world
it'll help you I go into this intensely
it's a great teaching surviving a jacked
up world now listen you can get it at
Joseph z.com it'll it'll help you can
meditate on it and we talk about all
this stuff in there but says until I
went into the sanctuary of God then I
understood their end then I understood
their
end when you're going through life in
the challenges of the world and all the
things are
happening and as I said over here and if
we look over here on the Whiteboard just
I'll turn over to this here check this
out you see on the Whiteboard all the
things I wrote down that the Covenant of
blood but during the time of difficulty
you sew seeds you're doing uh seeds and
all this stuff seeds of of accurate
belief seeds of right Behavior seeds
where you do what's right even when it
doesn't seem right or you act on the
word of God when everything in the
culture says opposite you do this this
is the same as you going to the
sanctuary you're saying I believe God I
stand on my Covenant and I'm going to go
to the sanctuary I'm going red I'm going
to the sanctuary and I'm going red I'm
going red in the blood of the Lamb I'm
going to the sanctuary I'm going red
okay that's what it's doing that's what
it is these are diamond seeds I'm
talking about now look at this so he's
in the sanctuary Psalm
73:17 until I went to the sanctuary
remember that is them sowing seeds
that's you doing the right thing by the
word of God and seeking his face in the
middle of difficulty I hope you're with
me May repost this right now it's going
to help somebody somebody needs to see
this then I understood their end their
end Verse
18 surely you set them in Slippery
places you cast them down to destruction
wait it's pivoting suddenly when you get
a revelation of their
end this little bit of life that we're
living you can have a good life in Jesus
he'll bless you blow people away with
the blessing but it will come with
persecution you got to understand that
Mark chapter 10 anyone who gives up
houses lands mothers brothers sisters
all this for my sake and the gospel will
receive a hundred times as much now in
this time that's what the Bible says now
in this time with persecution is what it
says with persecution and in the age to
come eternal life we're not we're
delivered of
everything listen to me we're delivered
of everything but you're not delivered
of persecution why because free moral
agents can do what they want and God
can't control what they're going to do
free moral agents will persecute you if
they don't agree with you and that's why
you got to outlast them that's why you
got to rise above it that's why you got
to do the call of God there's people in
the world and they are not God's
children they're his creation but
they're not his
children and if they want to persecute
the righteous which is their
MO that can't be stopped because they're
free moral agents with their own ability
to make choices and do what they want
and they will persecute the righteous if
they see the righteous increasing or
doing well or prospering or whatever the
natural reaction of the ungodly and
carnal is to persecute that they have to
a lot of Believers that are carnal and
worldly they will persecute that why
because the blessing of the Lord Lord
will increase you break you out take you
out your diamond seeds when you sew and
you do what's right it will come back
with a harvest of righteousness a
victory break you through in the current
time you're living in and then Darkness
will go oh that's not right that's not
right because their hearts are
corrupt don't be too quick to judge
people that God is increasing and
helping and and propelling you should
look at that and go what are they doing
right don't act act like Judas don't act
like the world don't act like people
that attack God's favor now look saying
surely you set them in Slippery places
this is talking about the unrighteous
set them in Slippery places and you cast
them down to destruction what's that
talking about oh hell talking about hell
whatever they have in this life all the
people that the world envies if they
don't know Jesus at the end of this life
this life is Heaven for them this is the
most glorious experience they'll ever
have and then it's over
forever forever unless you repent give
your life to Jesus and if you do that on
here and you say Jesus save
me please email us infoz Ministries and
let us know that you gave your life to
Jesus in this broadcast and we're our
partners the people who give here we're
going to send you hours of free teaching
free material purely free just give it
to you so you can listen to what you got
when you prayed that prayer I hope you
do comment right here if you do look it
says You cast them down to destruction
verse
19 surely you set them or excuse me oh
19 okay oh how they are brought to
Desolation as in a moment they are
utterly consumed with Terror as I liken
this to a person that's walking on a
dock the dock breaks they fall through
the water they open their eyes and
there's a shark with its mouth open
right there that's what this is talking
about suddenly suddenly they are utterly
consumed and the the the Hebrew context
of this is suddenly they're there and
before they can even realize what's
happening fear hits them and then
they're consumed by it it's over that's
what it's like going to
hell verse
20 as a dream when one awakes so the
Lord when you awake you shall despise
their very image it's so strong so
strong he goes on to say in all these
verses ahead he says my heart was
grieved I was foolish and ignorant to
think this way all these things happen
and then he goes into verse 25 and says
in verse 25 he says whom have I in
heaven but you and there is none upon
the Earth that I desire besides you
woo when you get that going on on the
inside whom is there but you whom have I
but
you there's an interesting Paradox that
takes place and you find it
in Matthew chapter
6 and somewhere around verse 33 and and
he begins to talk about seek first the
kingdom of
God and his
righteousness and all these other things
will be added unto you when you get the
revelation of Psalm
73:25 where you say whom have I but you
you're what I want I wrote this song
years ago and it just goes like this
your
all I
want you're all I
need you're all I
want you're all I need and we jump it up
in artive you're all I want and I go
down that whole Road you're all I need
and we begin to sing that but listen but
seek first the kingdom of God and his
righteousness and all these things shall
be added unto you is the
Fulfillment of Psalm
73 where you begin to recognize he says
whom have I but you you're all I want
you're all I need when you seek first
the kingdom of God that way here's the
the wild part when you put the kingdom
first which is let me go to the board
again just looking at the board when you
put the kingdom first that's these seeds
it's diamond seeds it's doing a seed war
where you say I'm going to seek first
God I'm going to seek him in his
sanctuary I'm going to do what he calls
me to do in the middle of a wild crazy
world I'm going to so meaning I'm just
going to keep the Bible whatever the
Bible says to do I'm going to do it no
matter what the world says you're going
to the sanctuary you're seeking the Lord
now you begin to say in the middle of
all this mess going on whom have I but
you but that is seeking first the
kingdom and his righteousness now you're
standing on the Covenant of the
blood and look what happens in Matthew
6:33 let me go over here when you do
that it says but seek first the kingdom
of God no matter what the SE season
is and his righteousness and all these
what these
what what will be added unto
you the things the Gentiles
seek all the stuff that you know really
what it is is the Devil comes and offers
you all the fruit with the root he
offers you the perversion of what God
offers you with
fulfillment and I'm not talking about
pride and popularity and all that's not
what I mean I'm talking about that if
God begins to give you all the things
it's because you sought him first and
the things don't have you at all you
don't care suddenly they're chasing you
you want to be a money magnet you want
to be an influence you want to have a
life that really makes a dent in this
earth you want to be somebody that
really is notable because of godliness
will seek first the kingdom of God turn
your whole heart over to him say not
from your head from your heart from
meditation and spending time with them
you'll say what Psalm 73 says whom have
I but you I could have a hundred
trillion dollars I could have everything
I could own every chunk of real estate
in the world but if I don't have you I'm
bankrupt I have nothing nothing but when
you seek first the kingdom and his
righteousness the Lord says H I will
give you what belongs to you in the
Kingdom I will give you an inheritance
all the things will be added unto you
things you enjoy things that'll meet you
for the anointing you're called to
accomplish these things will be added
unto
you
now this is what I really call
breakthrough this is what I call Diamond
seeds this is what I call Simply
Christian Living
you're rising up and you're standing
against a wicked culture you're called
to
overcome overcoming means persecution
comes and you're like oh you put your
mouth guard in oh so it's prison rules
it's prison rules I guess we just fight
prison rules is that the best you got
come on it's prison rules that's what
you do let me let me look right at
you I just want to look at
you prison rules and all the crazy stuff
that's going
on is when you say difficulties coming
at me but I believe you God oh I believe
you I have a Living Hope in Jesus Christ
on a bad day I'm anointed to be the best
there is because I seek first the
kingdom and his righteousness not my
righteousness I keep all the law I keep
the commands because I seek your
righteousness Christ in me Holiness is
Christ in me making me
holy setting me free
and if you get caught up in your mind or
you get caught in a sin or you're doing
something bad repent 1 John 1: 19 turn
from it turn away from it run from it
and put your heart and mind in Jesus put
your faith in the son of the Living God
and he'll set you
free man I want to pray for you it's a
good day I hope you've uh hung with me
here through this whole broadcast
because the Lord's talking to people I
can sense it he is talking to you he is
speaking to you right now there's things
the holy spirit is speaking to you about
that I'm not even preaching on right now
