Good Tidings of I'm not being rude I'm not talking to you but did you notice that there is a lack of great joy there might even be lack of basic Joy but there is definitely a lack of great joy in the body of Christ because if anybody's walking in it the rest of the people are trying to figure out what they're trying to prove gain if they have need if they're looking for attention and if somebody has great joy it ain't like that ain't nobody can be like that cuz we ain't finding our joy from our Salvation we're trying to find Joy through the circumstances of our life and it's impossible so most people are only as good as it's going so who they are and how they are is defined by how it's going that's why when you ask every Christian across the board it seems how it's going they tell you their biggest trial biggest dilemma biggest setback and say Keep Me in prayer because we identify Our Lives by life instead of The Giver of it and we've stepped out of why he's in US and somehow we're trying to get by instead of shine come on that's just straight that's not a riddle you canot hear that you know I've asked a long time ago Lord if you're going to let me stand in front of this many people and preach please do something for me give me the ability to communicate and to speak so a child could hear like when I'm finished let a person say I hear what you're saying and I want that or I hear what you're saying I just don't want it but don't let anybody leave and say what's he trying to say and I don't I don't think you're saying what she trying to say cuz it ain't a riddle it's a child can hear what I'm saying you have to want him you have to want him not just his Blessing you don't just want what he does for you anybody can need him but who loves him anybody can need him and the devil's convinced read the book of Job the devil's convinced none of us love him we all just need him and you let something go wrong their true colors will shine and they'll curse you to your face they'll be discouraged they won't be in worship they'll be complaining and mad and angry because ain't nobody on the earth righteous you read the book of Job the devil got man figured out after several thousand years he's sure you better make sure he ain't right when he's talking yeah o That's quiet not being mean sobering that's sobering that's that's to make us think that's to make us think watch this therefore having been justified by faith watch this this is amazing therefore having been justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ who knows that's incredible that we actually have peace with God that now he's approachable we can be unveiled in our face and we can come to him boldly seeing we have a high priest who's passed through the heavens Jesus the son of God Hebrews 4 who knows this is incredible okay so it sounds like he's shifting gears and ramping as he's preaching watch he says we've been justified by faith having peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ uhoh second gear through whom now we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God now that's a mouthful but if you look at it that's powerful and it's saying a lot I want you to see if this it's up obviously up there I see yall looking at the screen oh yeah it's right here so watch this the glory of God guess what the glory of God is any manifestation of him any realized seen or manifest attribute of God is the glory of God the Christ in US is the hope of the glory of God the Christ in US is the hope of making God seen known and realized this Grace we stand in is in in Hope of God being seen known and realized watch Grace isn't Mercy Grace is empowerment Grace is God's ability Grace is God's hand and strength working in your life to make you what you could never be on your own Grace isn't you don't say boy I blew up on my wife this morning thank God for his grace no his grace keeps you from blowing up on your wife we call grace mercy all the time Grace is God's empowerment If You Preach Gra Grace without transformation you're preaching bogus Grace come on Grace is all about change Grace is all about being what you could never be in your own strength and guess what Grace leads to the manifestation of God in your life ain't that something now watch this is incredible to me when the writer does this he says and not only that do you see it that's emphasizing in the English language that means he's going higher and not only these first two things not only that we Glory when all hell breaks loose that was my interpretation maybe you didn't like it we glory in Tribulation you see how quiet it is are you kidding we don't glory in Tribulation we pray to avoid it we pray it never happens and when it does happen we go into identity crisis what did I do what door did I open why is God allowing this what's he tring to teach me why is he letting the devil I've never seen a Christian glory in Tribulation I've seen them call counseling appointments I've seen them cry I've seen them stop praying I've seen them get mad at God I've seen them take sabatical look you don't have to like what I'm saying but it's true I don't know who glories in their tribulation but that's the Bible and he's making it sound more ramped up than peace with God and access to Grace peace with God and access into his grace he's he's and not only that he has it at least on the same list doesn't he and not only that same list here's the point remember what I said way back in the beginning we're coming around to something Satan could care less if we come to church he's just going to make sure we don't shine and when you squeeze an orange you expect orange juice and when you squeeze a Christian you ought to get Christ this is the principle I'm preaching off of because when you squeeze a Christian you get what they believe you get what they don't understand you get what they haven't been transformed in and you actually get where they're living from because you know them by their fruit we better learn the power of this thing and understand where adversity comes from now I'm G to try to teach you this before I have to quit here and if you can get this it's going to change everything for our lives this isn't correction this is trying to keep us from being deceived and getting pummeled when we never have to be glorying in our tribulations you know as well as I do people are praying for no tribulation people are thinking that if something's going wrong in their life they're missing something in their faith the Bible says don't think it strange your brothers all over the world are going through the same things you're going through stuff is going to happen happen because you're in a war and you're enlisted in the war by him and no one enlisted in this war ever again entangles himself with the Affairs of this life so when adversity comes its design is to break you but if you live in faith it'll actually make you according to scripture so Satan is convinced he can discourage and break every person one strike two strike three strike you're out they'll quit they'll go to church but they won't be engaged they might stay in their body group but they won't be effective and walk in the light they'll get beat down their story will become them and I got them and even though they're born again and even though the spirit of God's in them he will be so suppressed through the lack of understanding I will win and Destroy them that's the devil glory in your tribulation look up there watch this so you read together why do we glory in Tribulation because we know that tribulation see it doesn't mean it doesn't mean you glory in your tribulation now I'll act a little weird in this glory in your tribulation isn't woohoo I got $800 of bills and only 600 in my checkbook that's not what he's talking about he's talking about glory in that you're in the world and not of it and then you're in Covenant and God is greater and you never become what you're going through you never take on the identity of your trial cuz you wear him so there's always a response in him so when you squeeze he should come out not you you get it knowing you better know this knowing that tribulation produces perseverance watch you need perseverance why would you need perseverance if everything was going to go good let me quote Hebrews 10:35 and6 for you don't throw away your confidence it has great reward for you have need of endurance so that after the will of God is fulfilled you can receive the promise why would I have need of endurance to fulfill the will of God if he was going to give me smooth Seas author and finisher of our faith let us run the race with endurance it's all through scripture people this is the tough one and don't get taken back by this 29 years saved I don't see people glory in their tribulation and understand what it means again and again and again I see people fall apart lose their countenance cry themselves to sleep get full of anxiety and wonder what's next and it proves and that's why I'm crying out like a crazy man all the time because we aren't living what he paid for even though we think we are because our responses in crisis proves that we aren't surrendered As we sing and we haven't denied ourselves it's actually all about what I'm going through are you hearing me I'm not talking to you individually I'm talking at large I travel all over the country I do 45 weekends I've counseled thousands of people and I'm involved in tons of people's lives this that he's saying on the board is not how we live and I'm saying it's how we're called to live so I'm saying will we be convicted by this and begin to pursue these truths cuz look produces perseverance what's perseverance do character it proves you're for real and you're surrendered and you're in character does what puts hope back in your heart and guess what hope will do it'll never disappoint you because God's love is poured down in your heart by the Holy Spirit who was given to us you never take on the identity of what you're going through you always take on the identity of what he went through cuz that's where you find you you're not here to make it you're a pilgrim and a Sojourner passing through God is not here to get you through this life God's here to reveal who he is through your life while you're here in this life that's what it's all about watch I'm being emphatic again it's not about anything else or it wouldn't be a single eye if it was about anything else it wouldn't be a narrow way I think we've made it all about other things and we're just entertained by the types and shadows of Bible teaching we just think to know the Bible is to be okay to know him is to be transformed go to 1 Peter chapter 1 and I'll be finished on time I have a time because it's warm out here there's there's no need to be here all day and I also have a flight it's at 2:15 I'll get there usually I'm never finished anyway I just stop so whoever sits beside me might get the uh rest of the story oops they might make the mistake why were you in town it's so fun it's just so fun to be free I tell people I'm either the most whacked man you've ever met I'm free and I got all my chips on free we'll find out someday but I got all my chips pushed over on the free space cuz you don't live with me I do and I've actually learned in Christ to love who I am and I have no trouble looking in the mirror and it's not vanity it's not cuz I'm handsome it's because I see him yeah and I just love who I've become in him and I'm crying out to you guys to live what we're preaching this morning to make it all about him and you not him for you him in you and him through you because the truth is he's always for you the truth is he'll bless you our God yes our own God will bless you you don't even have to look for it it just comes in his nature he's a restorer he's a redeemer he's a provider he will always be Jehovah Gyra it's not stuff you even have to beg for or plead for it's stuff that happens when you're living the kingdom if you seek first the kingdom all these things shall be added unto you it's all in the word guys there's nothing I'm saying that's not right here it's not hardcore it's not hypo it's not too deep it's just what he paid for amen so watch this this is uh this is eye opening so look at verse three blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ who according to His abundant Mercy has begotten us again to a Living Hope through the resurrection of Christ from the dead that means we were all dead we were all separated from God he raised Christ did now we can be justified we can be Sanctified we can be born again and we can be filled with the spirit life comes back into us no longer are we a wheat or a tear but we're a wheat we're not a throwback fish we're a keeper fish we're in the live well baby it's a good thing okay and we have this inheritance it's Incorruptible it's undefiled and it does not fade away so watch this nothing on his end will ever change this truth he's this way and this is who we are in his sight now you can walk totally away from it you can fail to receive it or you can say you don't want it but I'm telling you this is the way it is on his end and it's reserved for us forever and ever and ever which means in heaven for you now watch this we're kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in that last time so we don't know quite the extent of what he is and who he is but when we see him as he is we will be like him right so look at verse six now this is inter resue I'm so glad you have this up there for everybody to see this helps the whole room watch this in this truth we just read you greatly Rejoice cuz we're pilgrims we're seeking a Homeland and he just talked about it and it gets our hearts ramped up and we're seeking to meet him and know that we're going to meet him 1 John 3 I preached it last night most of the church would say this is impossible but the church the church is is just tricked into this watch he says those who have this this hope of seeing him that day and becoming like him the ones that actually have that hope purify themselves even as he is pure well that 10 out of 10 Christians say that's impossible but yet the writer says it's what we're going to do purify ourself even as he is pure and what we don't see we just look at Jesus and say we've been trained by religion to say that's him this is us but he's called us up hither he's called his sons and daughters he's called God our Father he's put us in the family he's made us one he seated Us in heaven Heavenly places in Christ Jesus that doesn't make us something that makes us something in him are you with me purify yourself even as he is pure here's what we miss there's no level to Purity it either is or it isn't it either has a c to it or it's straight there's no level to Purity you can't say we can't be as pure as Jesus cuz pure is pure so we get tricked by religion to compare Jesus to us and we think we can't be pure like he's pure but he said the pure in heart shall see God so it must be possible to have one okay in this we greatly Rejoice though now though now say that with me now right now in this life right uhoh for a little while what you mean a little while brief moments light Affliction compared to the Eternal weight of his glory when he comes you know when Paul wrote that when he was being stoned and beat and left for dead and whipped and forsaken he called it brief moments of light affliction one of the six things he mentions in that section of or four things he mentioned in that section of scripture we're having a counseling appointment for if we're going through just one of Paul's in 2 Corinthians 4 we need an appointment he went through it all and said man I don't count my life dear none of it moving me it's all brief moments of light Affliction when I keep it compared to what's coming when he comes and my face says keep on going boy and don't look back don't pick up what you call dead don't love your own life lay it all down and go after him if you find your life you lose it if you lose your life for his sake you'll find it Paul's just cheering himself on you get it come on do you hear how much scripture I'm giving you that makes the Eye Single watch this but now for a little while if need be interesting phrase surrounded by commas if need be did you ever take a test in school do you ever fail it anybody be honest I failed at math test in school cuz I didn't like math I was so glad that City School only made me get two math credits woo thank you Jesus and I wasn't even a Christian I'm ready to shout thank you Jesus and I breach through that math but I failed a test whoever failed a test what H wow you all fail a test what' we have to do when we failed the test you had to what did you ever pass a test did you ever have to take that one again huh though now for a little while if need be you have been grieved by look at that various trials you know that Satan comes immediately for the word's sake that the S SWS the word and as soon as as the word soed Satan comes immediately for the word's sake not your sake the word's sake what's this war about it's a demon war against the kingdom of God darkness is somehow trying to come up with a plan to stop he can't overpower light so he's trying to stop light from ever shining so he comes to your life to keep the Kingdom from ever building in you the Matthew 7 man the wise man that heard and did did you ever notice he had the same exact storm as the man that was foolish it's not cuz he brought the storm on himself people it's not cuz he opened a door it's just because he heard the word the storm came to assure that the word never became flesh and life you're going to go through stuff why in various trials why next verse that the G ESS sincerity the pureness the legitimacy the realness the matter of fact of your faith not the confession not the woohoo the genuiness where the rubber meets the road in trials that the genuiness of your faith being much more precious than gold that perishes though it's tested by fire may be found to the praise honor and Glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ now I promise you that right there is greater worship to Jesus than any song service we've ever done even though song services are more than singing a song I'm telling you that right there is the purest worship ever because this is the real deal I have every reason to be something else I don't know anything else I'm living my life for him and the more you squeeze me the more it'll be proven the more you squeeze me the more it'll be proven and I'm passing this test and I won't have to take it again you get it I've been in W I've been through witchcraft tried to kill me years ago it's never touched me again can't touch me he's not running through here and running me over like a truck or he would have by now God will stop that smoke that I passed that test he said you ain't touching that boy anymore he surrendered and he proved it and you proved it and I watched it you're done and he will stop him he can't sneak up behind me I have great confidence I wouldn't talk like this I'd be overrun if I wasn't correct yeah man that feels good to me cuz he's for me and not against me and he gave me power over all the power of the enemy and nothing by any means shall harm me for it's the father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom so don't be afraid you get it I'm not popping off I'm not popping off I'm talking 29 years of Trials demonic stuff witchcraft my mama sick my dad not right my wife getting an identity crisis for eight years coma brain damage life support two children running crazy in their teen years trying to find out their own way they're all back everything's great and we have a great testimony we don't have a sad story we have a great testimony of redemption in Christ but I got to be there for it all and love not my own life under death and be a living example to my family that yes we can live surrendered yes we Cann not lose heart yes we can trust God and my wife has no brain damage and my my my dad got saved and my mom died and went to be with Jesus and and my kids are home and they're Christians and we have a great family come on if I didn't get what I get we'd have never made it through that people don't go eight years with a struggling wife especially when you're not having physical contact huh cuz men say well you got to get it somewhere no you got to get Jesus being much more precious than gold though perishes test by far found the praise and honor and Glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ give me the next verse please guys we can live this you haven't seen him but you love him in this situation and now you don't see him but yet believ him this is what I've never seen this is what I never see people we got to start living this yet believing we Rejoice within Express ible joy and full of Glory I don't see that when people are in Trials I see tears prayer requests fear and appointments I'm just being honest I don't see that because we haven't understood that we're not here to survive it's impossible to be a Christian for you you have to be a Christian for his great name and if you're really a Christian for his great name that'll be found as genuine in the midst of pressure so Satan brings the pressure to prove you're not surrendered God lets it unfold to let you Reveal Your Heart he's not interested in stopping the adversity cuz the adversity is a tool to reveal your sincerity it's right there we think when stuff's going wrong why is God letting this happen what's he we turn it into a parable what's he trying to teach me what door did I open instead of wow here's Satan trying to break me and everything I'm growing in might as well be the wise man let the storm beat on the house the house will stand and that's keep growing I'm going to submit to God resist the devil he'll flee he'll get the idea the more you touch me the more you make me you thought you could break me you see how much of a mad man I am you see how much of a mad man I am you thought you could break me but man you made a mad man you made me and there is points of no return in your life where you see what you see and who the sun sets free is free indeed boy we ought to believe that and more than believe that we ought to experience that and let the world see that so the word world might know that God sent his son I'll close with this and never forget this never forget this Jesus didn't say when we preach a gospel that sends people to heaven to every corner of the earth that he's going to come he said it's the gospel of the kingdom and his Kingdom's here and it's in you watch this he said in John 17 father I'm closing with this please get this father imagine Jesus father he's about ready to go through the cross he was slain before the foundation of the world for this moment and he's about ready to go to the cross and he said father when they become one just like we're one then the world will know that you sent your son remember that and let's live that God bless you amen amen come on everybody stand up on your
