1 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,520 I will have to really look at my notes because this sermon was 2 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,200 not written, it was given. 3 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,320 This sermon was divinely given. 4 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,560 My hand could barely keep up as the Holy Spirit was revealing 5 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:20,880 this. 6 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,920 And so I'm going to be looking at these notes because something 7 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:25,600 was divinely given. 8 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,440 How many of you feel the importance of the hour that we're 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:29,200 in right now? 10 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,840 And we feel the significance of it. 11 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,440 Do I have any Esthers and Mordecai's here? 12 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,320 Do I have any Deborahs and David's here and Moses here? 13 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:38,800 Do I? 14 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,520 There's something about the time God has assembled an army for 15 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:44,720 such a time as this. 16 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,840 You know, it was funny. 17 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,720 We've got our kids in service, and I love watching the families 18 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:50,480 worship together. 19 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,680 There was a young boy that came up to my wife and he said, Ms. 20 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,640 Julie, I really need to talk to Pastor Mike. 21 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:00,560 It's very important. 22 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:01,700 And, you know, know. 23 00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:02,700 She said, well, honey, what. 24 00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:02,940 What. 25 00:01:02,940 --> 00:01:04,220 What do you need to talk about? 26 00:01:04,460 --> 00:01:07,060 Talk to Pastor Mike about, you know, yeah, sure. 27 00:01:07,060 --> 00:01:07,580 What do you. 28 00:01:07,580 --> 00:01:09,180 And he goes, it's very, very important. 29 00:01:09,340 --> 00:01:10,580 I need a meeting with him. 30 00:01:10,580 --> 00:01:11,500 It's urgent. 31 00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:12,180 And. 32 00:01:12,180 --> 00:01:14,940 And she said, well, you know, well, we're here to pastor you. 33 00:01:14,940 --> 00:01:16,140 What do you need from. 34 00:01:16,140 --> 00:01:17,140 From Pastor Mike? 35 00:01:17,140 --> 00:01:21,500 And he said, I need the WI fi password for v1church. 36 00:01:22,140 --> 00:01:22,620 It's. 37 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:28,320 So. 38 00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:31,600 Son, I want to tell you, you are correct in your assumption that 39 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,360 I'm the only one as the founding lead pastor who has the 40 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,280 WI FI pass. 41 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,640 And I'm gonna tell you what I told to my staff. 42 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,760 You're not getting the password, so you're gonna have to 43 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:42,240 sit here. 44 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:42,720 You're not. 45 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,360 Listen, I look like Super Mario, but you can't play Super Mario. 46 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,120 You gotta be here in service. 47 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,360 Cause the word of God's good for the 2 year old and for the 20 48 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,000 year old and for the 90 year old. 49 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,440 And we all need the word of God. 50 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,280 So as. 51 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,560 As my mama told me in church, you better sit up and act like you're 52 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:00,320 paying attention. 53 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:01,760 You're not. 54 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,000 There is no WI FI in here tonight. 55 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,880 And the church said, Amen. 56 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,400 All right. 57 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,160 The title of this message is the King of the Jews. 58 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,560 The King of the Jews. 59 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,840 You know, the devil comes to steal. 60 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,160 Come on, help me, saints. 61 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,040 To steal, to kill and destroy. 62 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,280 That's John, chapter 1010. 63 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,520 However, Jesus said those words because afterwards he reminded 64 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:30,720 us. 65 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:31,440 But I came. 66 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,280 Come on, finish it with me. 67 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,880 That you made have life and life more abundantly. 68 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,760 I don't care what's happening in Mayor Mondani's office in New 69 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,880 York City, you can celebrate Ramadan, but we're celebrating Easter. 70 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,800 We're going to have our day too. 71 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,600 The devil came to kill, steal and destroy. 72 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,680 But Jesus came that we may have life and life more abundantly. 73 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,180 I don't care what the diagnos looks like. 74 00:02:56,180 --> 00:02:56,540 Come on. 75 00:02:56,540 --> 00:02:57,660 There's a Lazarus. 76 00:02:57,740 --> 00:03:01,260 That God will take stage four cancer and turn it around for his 77 00:03:01,260 --> 00:03:01,740 glory. 78 00:03:01,820 --> 00:03:03,660 I don't care what it looks like. 79 00:03:04,620 --> 00:03:05,260 Come on. 80 00:03:05,660 --> 00:03:11,340 And so when we think about kill and destroy, the crucifixion 81 00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:16,140 happened because this was a battle for power and for authority. 82 00:03:16,380 --> 00:03:20,380 And quite frankly, they did not want to receive Jesus Christ 83 00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:23,310 as the authority of over their life. 84 00:03:23,550 --> 00:03:27,230 They didn't like the idea of him being in charge of their life. 85 00:03:27,390 --> 00:03:28,830 He didn't like the idea. 86 00:03:28,910 --> 00:03:31,630 They didn't like the idea of him ruling over them. 87 00:03:31,870 --> 00:03:37,190 And then, much like the story of Joseph in the 37th chapter of 88 00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:40,670 the book of Genesis, you know his jealous brothers. 89 00:03:40,670 --> 00:03:44,590 I know none of you on Long island have jealous family members. 90 00:03:44,590 --> 00:03:46,510 This is only a biblical problem. 91 00:03:46,990 --> 00:03:51,030 I know nobody watching in Indiana right now has jealous family 92 00:03:51,030 --> 00:03:54,070 members, but Joseph had jealous brothers. 93 00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:58,670 That there's this murderous spirit behind the jealousy that caused 94 00:03:58,670 --> 00:04:02,350 them to concoct a plan to throw him into a well. 95 00:04:02,750 --> 00:04:07,630 You know, just like in Genesis chapter four, you have Cain and Abel 96 00:04:07,630 --> 00:04:13,150 who does not want to receive the fact that because of the purity 97 00:04:13,150 --> 00:04:14,670 of heart of his brother. 98 00:04:16,190 --> 00:04:17,390 Think about what I'm saying. 99 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,520 That his brother offered something before the Lord that was 100 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,760 pleasing, and the Lord accepted his sacrifice and his offering, 101 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,600 but not Cain's. 102 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,320 I mean, think about what I'm saying. 103 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,640 It's much like the children of Israel who celebrate Moses when they're 104 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,200 being delivered from slavery, but they're complaining when they 105 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,680 continue to get that same meal of manna in Exodus chapter 16, verse 106 00:04:43,910 --> 00:04:45,510 verses 2 and 3. 107 00:04:45,910 --> 00:04:48,910 You know, isn't it funny how people flip the script on you? 108 00:04:48,910 --> 00:04:50,950 Can I just speak ghetto for a little while? 109 00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:53,550 I know I gave you a lot of scriptures right now. 110 00:04:53,550 --> 00:04:55,110 Can I preach from the streets? 111 00:04:55,270 --> 00:04:58,550 There's some people that love you because they know that payday 112 00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:59,270 is on Friday. 113 00:04:59,670 --> 00:05:03,470 And come on, somebody, they don't seem to want to hang out with 114 00:05:03,470 --> 00:05:04,070 you on Thursday. 115 00:05:04,470 --> 00:05:07,390 Matter of fact, there's some people that have addictions that 116 00:05:07,390 --> 00:05:12,040 are your best friend when your addiction helps subsidize and their 117 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:12,600 addiction. 118 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,600 You know what I'm trying to say? 119 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,160 There's some people that will turn up with you, but they won't 120 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,880 be with you when you're down and out. 121 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,840 There's some people that'll show up on the mountaintop, but they're 122 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:22,600 nowhere to be found on the valley. 123 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,040 Come on. 124 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,040 There's some people that'll call you when. 125 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,680 They've got a problem, but don't call. 126 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,800 Them when you got one because they are too busy to pick up the 127 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:30,000 phone. 128 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,640 Does anybody know what I'm talking about? 129 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,800 Jesus was surrounded by people who wanted a healing but didn't want 130 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,480 the healer. 131 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,000 Jesus was surrounded by people that they wanted. 132 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,760 Deliverance cast a demon out of me, but they don't want the deliverer. 133 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,680 There's a lot of people that they want your hand, but they don't 134 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:51,400 want your face. 135 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,200 Am I talking to anybody right now? 136 00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:58,880 And behind that spirit of jealousy is actually a spirit of 137 00:05:58,880 --> 00:05:59,240 murder. 138 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,320 And we know that the evil one comes but to kill, to steal and destroy. 139 00:06:03,940 --> 00:06:07,940 And so we battle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities 140 00:06:07,940 --> 00:06:10,300 and powers and rulers in high places. 141 00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:13,580 Which is why we pray for our friend Mom Donnie, that he's going 142 00:06:13,580 --> 00:06:17,220 to convert from Islam to Christianity and he's going to participate 143 00:06:17,220 --> 00:06:21,060 in the revival that he can try to stop, but it's going to happen 144 00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:22,180 anyways out here. 145 00:06:22,180 --> 00:06:26,060 I mean, you might as well bend your knee on this side, because every 146 00:06:26,060 --> 00:06:28,020 knee will bow on the other side. 147 00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:31,930 You might as well choose to join us now, because everybody's 148 00:06:31,930 --> 00:06:33,730 going to join us in worship later. 149 00:06:33,970 --> 00:06:34,610 Come on. 150 00:06:37,170 --> 00:06:43,250 And so when we look at this Palm Sunday, we just celebrated together. 151 00:06:43,410 --> 00:06:46,690 Many of you, tens of thousands of people tuned in for the message. 152 00:06:46,849 --> 00:06:50,210 You know, these people were celebrating Jesus, but when they 153 00:06:50,370 --> 00:06:54,130 realized that he wasn't going to be the king that they desired, 154 00:06:54,850 --> 00:07:00,300 when it was going to be not a political king, but a spiritual kingdom, 155 00:07:02,060 --> 00:07:06,340 that same spirit, that murderous spirit behind Joseph's 156 00:07:06,340 --> 00:07:10,540 brothers, behind Cain, behind the complaining children of Israel, 157 00:07:10,620 --> 00:07:12,860 begin to rise up to kill Jesus. 158 00:07:13,180 --> 00:07:16,900 And the lesson is that we can kill the very thing that we're supposed 159 00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:17,340 to become. 160 00:07:18,460 --> 00:07:19,660 Did y' all catch that? 161 00:07:21,020 --> 00:07:22,780 There's something about all of us. 162 00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:30,300 I want to make this sobering is that there's a tendency, if we're 163 00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:33,780 not careful, that we end up killing the very thing that we're 164 00:07:33,780 --> 00:07:34,580 supposed to become. 165 00:07:35,620 --> 00:07:39,940 The lesson that we can learn here is that we should become like 166 00:07:39,940 --> 00:07:40,580 Joseph. 167 00:07:40,820 --> 00:07:44,460 The brother should have heard Joseph prophetic dream and went to 168 00:07:44,460 --> 00:07:47,380 God and said, God, can you give me a dream, too? 169 00:07:47,460 --> 00:07:51,010 And instead of being inspired by his dream, that they weren't inspired 170 00:07:51,250 --> 00:07:54,970 to become more righteous, they were inspired to jealousy, to become 171 00:07:54,970 --> 00:07:55,650 murderous. 172 00:07:55,890 --> 00:07:58,530 We end up killing the very thing that we're supposed to become. 173 00:07:59,330 --> 00:08:04,530 Are y' all following me and become like Abel, who gave God a 174 00:08:04,530 --> 00:08:05,090 legitimate. 175 00:08:05,090 --> 00:08:07,810 Tithe without a preacher preaching the tithe. 176 00:08:07,810 --> 00:08:11,090 The thing that came to him was, I should give God what's first. 177 00:08:11,330 --> 00:08:13,090 I should give God what's best. 178 00:08:13,250 --> 00:08:14,770 And he gave this thing. 179 00:08:14,850 --> 00:08:18,050 And so what happened is Cain should. 180 00:08:18,050 --> 00:08:19,570 Have became like Abel. 181 00:08:19,570 --> 00:08:21,930 But we kill what we're supposed to become. 182 00:08:24,570 --> 00:08:25,850 Become like Moses. 183 00:08:26,570 --> 00:08:31,570 Believe that God can use you with a speech impediment, with fear 184 00:08:31,570 --> 00:08:34,970 gripping your heart, but still obedient to the call. 185 00:08:35,210 --> 00:08:38,850 But we want to turn on Moses and we want to kill the very thing 186 00:08:38,850 --> 00:08:40,090 that we're supposed to become. 187 00:08:40,570 --> 00:08:44,810 And so these men are examples, but they come, they become martyrs. 188 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,440 Think about Jesus, become like Jesus. 189 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:54,960 100% submitted to God, 100% serving, giving, forgiving. 190 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,640 But we have the tendency to kill the very thing that we're supposed 191 00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,120 to become. 192 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:08,000 So the verdict above Christ head, it reads this phrase in multiple 193 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,840 languages we see in Mark, chapter 15, verse 9. 194 00:09:12,550 --> 00:09:17,510 Pilate says, Will I release to you the King of the Jews? 195 00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:21,750 He uses that phrase, the Bible says in the book of Mark. 196 00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:26,750 Because he knew that the chief priests had delivered Jesus over 197 00:09:26,750 --> 00:09:27,670 for envy. 198 00:09:27,670 --> 00:09:29,590 Can everybody say envy? 199 00:09:30,390 --> 00:09:33,670 This is the root of what we're dealing with on Good Friday. 200 00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:39,340 And even Pilate began to discern the that they really turned 201 00:09:39,340 --> 00:09:43,940 Jesus, an innocent man, over because of their envy. 202 00:09:44,820 --> 00:09:49,060 Instead of coming to Jesus to say, I see the way that you preach 203 00:09:49,060 --> 00:09:49,620 in power. 204 00:09:49,940 --> 00:09:53,300 I see the way that you lay your hands on the sick and they recover. 205 00:09:53,460 --> 00:09:56,420 I've heard that you raised a man named Lazarus from the dead. 206 00:09:56,500 --> 00:09:58,620 I know that demons obey you. 207 00:09:58,620 --> 00:09:59,780 I've heard the stories. 208 00:09:59,940 --> 00:10:01,700 Can I become your disciple? 209 00:10:01,860 --> 00:10:03,620 They end up becoming his murderer. 210 00:10:05,150 --> 00:10:09,710 This is the thing that grips our hearts when we give way to envy. 211 00:10:10,270 --> 00:10:12,190 It says this in verse 10. 212 00:10:12,270 --> 00:10:15,670 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Jesus for this 213 00:10:15,670 --> 00:10:16,030 reason. 214 00:10:16,670 --> 00:10:20,790 And so to understand Good Friday, you have to understand three 215 00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:21,150 things. 216 00:10:22,030 --> 00:10:26,110 Number one, the war over true identity. 217 00:10:26,350 --> 00:10:29,710 You have to understand the war over true identity. 218 00:10:30,350 --> 00:10:33,870 Jesus was mockingly called the King of the Jews. 219 00:10:33,870 --> 00:10:37,310 But how many of you know that not only is he the King of the Jews, 220 00:10:37,390 --> 00:10:39,470 but he's the King of the Americans? 221 00:10:39,470 --> 00:10:42,910 And the King of the Canadians and the King of the Europeans. 222 00:10:43,070 --> 00:10:44,830 He's the King of all kings. 223 00:10:45,070 --> 00:10:46,870 And so it was a true statement. 224 00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:50,750 How many of you know the devil will mock you with only half of the 225 00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:51,070 story? 226 00:10:52,990 --> 00:10:54,270 Come on, somebody. 227 00:10:54,910 --> 00:10:57,150 Mike Signorelli was a drunk. 228 00:10:57,230 --> 00:10:58,830 Oh yes, that's true. 229 00:10:58,990 --> 00:11:01,070 But finish your sentence, devil. 230 00:11:01,070 --> 00:11:02,510 I didn't stay drunk. 231 00:11:02,590 --> 00:11:05,830 The Lord sobered me up, delivered me from addiction. 232 00:11:05,830 --> 00:11:10,110 And I raised up an army of former addicts to break the chains 233 00:11:10,110 --> 00:11:10,910 of darkness. 234 00:11:10,990 --> 00:11:14,350 And my testimony became their testimony, too. 235 00:11:14,510 --> 00:11:15,710 Finish your sins. 236 00:11:15,790 --> 00:11:17,790 I'm not just the king of the Jews. 237 00:11:17,790 --> 00:11:21,070 I'm the king of all kings is what Jesus knew. 238 00:11:21,550 --> 00:11:22,830 Come on, somebody. 239 00:11:24,370 --> 00:11:27,170 But the devil will mock you with half of the story. 240 00:11:31,330 --> 00:11:32,290 You're divorced. 241 00:11:32,530 --> 00:11:34,370 Well, finish the story, devil. 242 00:11:34,690 --> 00:11:37,650 My husband is going through a process right now, and I'm about 243 00:11:37,650 --> 00:11:38,570 to be remarried. 244 00:11:38,570 --> 00:11:41,850 And God's going to restore me and he's going to pray over me and 245 00:11:41,850 --> 00:11:44,130 love my kids like they're his own. 246 00:11:44,130 --> 00:11:46,410 And I see a future and a hope. 247 00:11:46,410 --> 00:11:48,210 Come on, finish your sentence. 248 00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:51,940 Is there anybody here who believes in divine, supernatural 249 00:11:51,940 --> 00:11:53,420 healing in the physical body? 250 00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:54,940 Come on. 251 00:11:56,540 --> 00:11:58,460 When they said to him Lazarus was. 252 00:11:58,460 --> 00:12:00,460 Dead, he said, he's just taking a nap. 253 00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:01,500 He's sleeping. 254 00:12:01,820 --> 00:12:04,860 Because Jesus said, I'm gonna define it the right way. 255 00:12:04,860 --> 00:12:07,020 You call it death, I call it a nap. 256 00:12:08,540 --> 00:12:12,540 See, there's something about how God will redefine your situation. 257 00:12:13,260 --> 00:12:16,380 But this declaration is made over the crucifixion. 258 00:12:16,380 --> 00:12:17,660 The king of the Jews. 259 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,680 You've got to understand the war over true identity number two. 260 00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:26,960 That war produces envy. 261 00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:31,120 People will hate you like you're an author. 262 00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:34,560 Because the devil knows that you're going to become an author. 263 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,840 And he will fight you for what you're going to become before you 264 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:38,480 become it. 265 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,280 It's easier to crush a shell than it is to let that thing hatch 266 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,480 and grow full size. 267 00:12:44,950 --> 00:12:45,990 Let me put it another way. 268 00:12:45,990 --> 00:12:49,190 It's easier to crush a seed than to chop down a tree. 269 00:12:49,350 --> 00:12:50,950 And some of you could never find. 270 00:12:50,950 --> 00:12:52,870 Out why they fought you before you. 271 00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:54,230 Ever did anything significant. 272 00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:57,470 It's because sometimes the demons inside of. 273 00:12:57,470 --> 00:12:59,910 Them know how to read a seed. 274 00:12:59,990 --> 00:13:02,310 I wish you heard me in Indiana. 275 00:13:02,310 --> 00:13:04,310 He knows how to tell what you're become. 276 00:13:04,470 --> 00:13:07,950 And he'll try to crush a seed so he doesn't have to chop down a 277 00:13:07,950 --> 00:13:08,310 tree. 278 00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:11,670 Some of you are like, why is the devil attacking my finances? 279 00:13:12,050 --> 00:13:14,930 Because he knows that you're going to be the lender and not the 280 00:13:14,930 --> 00:13:15,650 borrower. 281 00:13:15,730 --> 00:13:18,530 He knows that you're a river and not the reservoir. 282 00:13:18,610 --> 00:13:21,090 He knows that you're actually generous. 283 00:13:21,250 --> 00:13:23,450 And God gives seed to the sower. 284 00:13:23,450 --> 00:13:25,810 He's fighting for what you will become. 285 00:13:26,210 --> 00:13:31,490 The devil fought a baby called Jesus knowing that that baby wouldn't 286 00:13:31,490 --> 00:13:36,450 stay a baby, but would grow into a man that terrorizes his kingdom. 287 00:13:36,450 --> 00:13:39,770 How many of you know that spirit of Herod is still trying to 288 00:13:39,770 --> 00:13:41,730 kill our babies in America? 289 00:13:42,190 --> 00:13:44,830 Because that demon knows what a baby will become. 290 00:13:47,150 --> 00:13:48,470 Oh, I'm preaching today. 291 00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:49,230 I'm preaching. 292 00:13:49,390 --> 00:13:51,110 This the last sermon you ever hear. 293 00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:52,110 It's going to be a good one. 294 00:13:52,190 --> 00:13:53,230 Let me tell you. 295 00:13:54,190 --> 00:13:56,830 This is same ancient demons in new days. 296 00:13:56,830 --> 00:13:57,790 Do y' all hear me? 297 00:13:58,190 --> 00:14:03,630 And number three, envy turns into the ultimate plan of Satan to 298 00:14:03,630 --> 00:14:06,510 steal, to kill and destroy. 299 00:14:06,910 --> 00:14:09,790 And the sign over Christ had said, the King of the Jews. 300 00:14:10,260 --> 00:14:11,060 And it's true. 301 00:14:11,460 --> 00:14:12,660 Joseph's dream. 302 00:14:13,140 --> 00:14:14,060 It was true. 303 00:14:14,060 --> 00:14:14,860 Somebody say it. 304 00:14:14,860 --> 00:14:15,540 It was true. 305 00:14:16,340 --> 00:14:17,700 Think about what I'm saying. 306 00:14:18,740 --> 00:14:20,580 Abel's generous offering. 307 00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:21,460 It's true. 308 00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:23,620 It's acceptable before God. 309 00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:27,580 Moses, deliverance of the people out of slavery in Egypt is 310 00:14:27,580 --> 00:14:28,020 true. 311 00:14:28,420 --> 00:14:32,260 But their lives are threatened by people who deceive themselves 312 00:14:32,660 --> 00:14:39,240 about who they really are and what they really do. 313 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:45,280 Let me just break it down like this, because this is kind of like 314 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,360 the pivot point. 315 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,840 When you look at Luke chapter 23, verse 39, Jesus experiencing 316 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,000 the Roman form of execution called crucifixion. 317 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,840 He's hanging between two common criminals. 318 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,760 And there's this dialogue that begins to happen on the crosses. 319 00:15:05,670 --> 00:15:11,590 And what happens In Luke chapter 23, verse 39 is the one criminal 320 00:15:11,590 --> 00:15:17,030 looks at him and says, if thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 321 00:15:17,910 --> 00:15:24,310 What I never noticed before is that that request sounds eerily similar 322 00:15:24,310 --> 00:15:27,590 to Palm Sunday, Jesus, deliver us. 323 00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:29,830 Now they're waving their palms around. 324 00:15:30,230 --> 00:15:34,280 So as long as we get something from Jesus, we will give something 325 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:34,960 to Jesus. 326 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,200 So the man that's hanging on the. 327 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:43,600 Cross next to Jesus says, if you are the Christ, save yourself 328 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:44,640 and save us. 329 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,320 So his acceptance of Jesus as the. 330 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,720 Messiah is contingent upon what Jesus does with for him. 331 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,960 But how many of you know that's not real worship? 332 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,400 Don't you remember the story of Job? 333 00:15:59,770 --> 00:16:04,770 Everything's taken from Job, and God allowed Satan to do it because 334 00:16:04,770 --> 00:16:08,770 he said, I know Job, and you can take everything from him and 335 00:16:08,770 --> 00:16:11,370 he will not curse me. 336 00:16:12,330 --> 00:16:14,250 Everything gets stripped away from Job. 337 00:16:14,410 --> 00:16:18,050 And he famously says, the Lord gives, the Lord takes away. 338 00:16:18,050 --> 00:16:21,170 But blessed be the name of the Lord, though he slay me. 339 00:16:21,170 --> 00:16:25,050 Yet while I praise him, my worship is not because of what he 340 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,160 he's done for me. 341 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,800 My worship is because who he is. 342 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,400 I am submitted to him, whether I like him, whether I agree with 343 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,240 what he does. 344 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,400 My submission is not contingent on what he gives me, what 345 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,440 he does for me. 346 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,200 It is simply because he is God and I am not. 347 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,640 And there are some people that need a reminder that you are not 348 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:47,120 God. 349 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,440 Come on, y' all hear what I'm saying. 350 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,640 Some people need a reminder you are not God. 351 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,320 And what happens is, Lord, I don't understand your ways. 352 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,080 I wouldn't have done it that way. 353 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,320 I wouldn't have put myself in that family. 354 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,800 I wouldn't have put myself in that city. 355 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,040 I wouldn't have put myself in that year. 356 00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:08,400 I wouldn't have done that. 357 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,160 But God shouts back, get down on your knees and worship me. 358 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,280 Because my ways are higher than your ways. 359 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,050 My thoughts are higher than your thoughts. 360 00:17:18,050 --> 00:17:18,180 And. 361 00:17:18,410 --> 00:17:21,130 And, son, Daughter, I'll give you wisdom. 362 00:17:21,290 --> 00:17:24,970 And only when you look backwards will you know that I am 363 00:17:24,970 --> 00:17:25,370 good. 364 00:17:25,850 --> 00:17:29,690 Only when you look backwards will you know that I took what the 365 00:17:29,690 --> 00:17:33,770 enemy meant for harm and worked it all together for your good. 366 00:17:34,089 --> 00:17:38,170 You can't see it now, but one day you're going to look back and 367 00:17:38,170 --> 00:17:41,210 you're going to know that I'm better than you could ever imagine. 368 00:17:41,450 --> 00:17:45,300 Somebody praise him for five seconds, if you know what I'm talking 369 00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:45,620 about. 370 00:17:46,820 --> 00:17:47,780 Hallelujah. 371 00:17:49,220 --> 00:17:51,460 I can hear you all the way from Brooklyn. 372 00:17:51,460 --> 00:17:52,420 Hallelujah. 373 00:17:58,180 --> 00:18:00,500 Sounds just like that Palm Sunday crowd. 374 00:18:01,220 --> 00:18:04,060 Praise him one day, crucify them the next day. 375 00:18:04,060 --> 00:18:06,420 I'm telling you, I ain't going to be one of those Christians. 376 00:18:06,740 --> 00:18:08,940 I don't know about you, but I made my mind up. 377 00:18:08,940 --> 00:18:11,220 I am submitted to him, and I'm. 378 00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:12,620 Come on, anybody with me. 379 00:18:12,620 --> 00:18:15,540 I'm walking that narrow road, you know? 380 00:18:15,540 --> 00:18:17,380 Verse 40, it says. 381 00:18:17,380 --> 00:18:18,580 But the other answered. 382 00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:19,500 Now watch. 383 00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:21,380 It's a dialogue between thieves. 384 00:18:21,940 --> 00:18:23,140 Think about what I'm saying. 385 00:18:23,620 --> 00:18:26,860 The other one hears what he's saying and he goes, wait a second. 386 00:18:26,860 --> 00:18:29,380 Hey, we deserve this. 387 00:18:30,740 --> 00:18:32,340 We're supposed to be here. 388 00:18:33,140 --> 00:18:34,260 We got caught. 389 00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:36,500 We're evil men. 390 00:18:36,500 --> 00:18:37,620 This is what he's saying. 391 00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:41,690 But this man next to us, he's not like us. 392 00:18:42,410 --> 00:18:43,530 He's innocent. 393 00:18:44,250 --> 00:18:45,330 We deserve this. 394 00:18:45,330 --> 00:18:47,130 But he didn't deserve this. 395 00:18:47,450 --> 00:18:49,610 This is the dialogue happening on the cross. 396 00:18:50,010 --> 00:18:57,730 And then the man looks to Jesus and he says, son of God, when 397 00:18:57,730 --> 00:19:01,130 this is all over, will you remember me? 398 00:19:03,050 --> 00:19:09,130 Jesus looks at him dying on the cross and he says, I'm gonna 399 00:19:09,130 --> 00:19:10,170 make you a promise. 400 00:19:11,210 --> 00:19:14,570 You ever realize that in order to speak to him he had to turn his 401 00:19:14,570 --> 00:19:15,450 face from him? 402 00:19:18,330 --> 00:19:24,330 And all of a sudden he says, tonight you'll be with me in paradise. 403 00:19:25,370 --> 00:19:29,890 The man that couldn't have taken himself off of the cross to 404 00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:30,970 give him the offering. 405 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,080 The man who couldn't have taken himself off the cross to serve 406 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,520 at his local church. 407 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,880 He could offer Jesus nothing. 408 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:47,200 But the only thing that Jesus requires is a confession that I am 409 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,560 a sinner and you are the Savior. 410 00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:51,160 Remember me. 411 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,800 This is the gospel. 412 00:19:54,760 --> 00:20:00,160 This is the message of the entire Bible is that you are infinitely 413 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,800 more evil than you could ever comprehend, but that he loves you 414 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:06,880 more than you will ever understand. 415 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:12,080 And then what he'll do by His Spirit is he will regenerate your 416 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,040 dead spirit and you will come alive through Christ. 417 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:21,600 And if you share in death, you will share in resurrection. 418 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,520 And Easter will not just be a celebration of what happened to Jesus. 419 00:20:26,170 --> 00:20:29,810 It'll be a celebration of what happens to everybody who is in Christ 420 00:20:29,810 --> 00:20:30,410 Jesus. 421 00:20:30,730 --> 00:20:35,130 And we will be joined together with our fathers and our grandparents 422 00:20:35,210 --> 00:20:35,770 and our. 423 00:20:35,770 --> 00:20:39,730 Cousins and everybody who confess, I am a sinner, but you are 424 00:20:39,730 --> 00:20:40,330 the Savior. 425 00:20:40,490 --> 00:20:41,930 Wash me with that blood. 426 00:20:42,010 --> 00:20:45,050 The resurrection is not just what happened to Jesus. 427 00:20:45,050 --> 00:20:46,490 It happened to him first. 428 00:20:46,730 --> 00:20:50,930 But then all of us will rise one day with him again and we will 429 00:20:50,930 --> 00:20:55,160 celebrate that not only is he risen, but I'm risen with him. 430 00:20:55,160 --> 00:21:00,280 Is anybody excited about that glorious day that's been promised 431 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:00,840 to you? 432 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:10,080 People miss this, but the thief on the cross, he did something 433 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,320 that many people don't do. 434 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,560 He owned his own sin. 435 00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:16,840 He refused to be self deceived. 436 00:21:17,730 --> 00:21:19,810 He didn't try to justify himself. 437 00:21:20,930 --> 00:21:24,690 Jealousy and envy was refused. 438 00:21:26,290 --> 00:21:27,970 See, there's something about this man. 439 00:21:28,450 --> 00:21:31,130 I think he's much more important than we recognize. 440 00:21:31,130 --> 00:21:34,610 And while everyone was killing the very person that they should 441 00:21:34,610 --> 00:21:38,290 become, he looks towards Jesus and says, remember me. 442 00:21:38,690 --> 00:21:44,770 I mean, Good Friday is when we search for our own inside of our 443 00:21:44,770 --> 00:21:47,370 own hearts, for our own envy and jealousy. 444 00:21:47,770 --> 00:21:52,170 Good Friday is when we stopped justifying and we started knitting 445 00:21:53,530 --> 00:21:55,610 something so powerful about that. 446 00:21:56,730 --> 00:21:59,930 I'd rather be with an honest sinner than a lying preacher. 447 00:22:04,010 --> 00:22:05,370 And Jesus would too. 448 00:22:06,410 --> 00:22:08,330 He was called a friend of sinners. 449 00:22:08,810 --> 00:22:13,010 He probably found that they were humble than the Pharisees and 450 00:22:13,010 --> 00:22:16,010 Sadducees who thought they were right but were self deceived. 451 00:22:17,370 --> 00:22:20,050 And we know this is true because they killed what they should 452 00:22:20,050 --> 00:22:20,490 have become. 453 00:22:21,530 --> 00:22:22,650 This is what we do. 454 00:22:23,130 --> 00:22:26,410 And Good Friday is when we become like Jesus. 455 00:22:27,370 --> 00:22:30,810 And instead of attempting to crucify him over and over and over 456 00:22:30,810 --> 00:22:36,730 again, when we go back to the sin that we explain but never exterminate. 457 00:22:38,460 --> 00:22:41,740 When we read the Bible, Good Friday causes us to ask the question. 458 00:22:43,740 --> 00:22:46,780 I want everybody to pause for a moment, close your eyes while I 459 00:22:46,780 --> 00:22:50,300 say this, to remove all distractions across every location 460 00:22:50,780 --> 00:22:55,500 and everybody watching at home as you read the Bible. 461 00:22:56,940 --> 00:23:00,780 What if for a moment on Good Friday, you assume that you're not 462 00:23:00,780 --> 00:23:05,030 Joseph, you're one of Joseph's jealous brothers? 463 00:23:06,790 --> 00:23:07,990 Maybe you're not able. 464 00:23:09,270 --> 00:23:14,230 Maybe you're Cain getting away on the bare minimums but the Lord 465 00:23:14,230 --> 00:23:15,270 discerns your heart. 466 00:23:16,390 --> 00:23:17,910 Maybe you're not Moses. 467 00:23:18,550 --> 00:23:21,830 Maybe you're murmuring like the children of Israel. 468 00:23:22,950 --> 00:23:25,030 And maybe you're not Jesus yet. 469 00:23:25,670 --> 00:23:27,830 You're the thief who's already been caught. 470 00:23:29,620 --> 00:23:31,060 But I want you to open your eyes again. 471 00:23:34,020 --> 00:23:36,980 I got an encouraging message for you on Good Friday. 472 00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:44,180 Just like that thief hanging next to Jesus, you're not dead yet. 473 00:23:45,540 --> 00:23:46,740 There's still time. 474 00:23:47,860 --> 00:23:49,260 I don't know who I'm talking to. 475 00:23:49,260 --> 00:23:51,780 Maybe your family forced you to come to this service. 476 00:23:52,820 --> 00:23:56,020 Maybe you are flipping through YouTube and you just thought that 477 00:23:56,020 --> 00:23:58,180 you randomly turned this message on. 478 00:23:59,060 --> 00:23:59,300 No. 479 00:24:00,740 --> 00:24:04,140 God sovereignly and divinely brought you to this message so that 480 00:24:04,140 --> 00:24:05,860 you would hear this moment right now. 481 00:24:06,340 --> 00:24:07,540 There's still time. 482 00:24:08,260 --> 00:24:10,660 Just like that man who was hanging next to Jesus. 483 00:24:10,820 --> 00:24:13,860 He was actively being crucified, but he wasn't dead yet. 484 00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:18,180 And I don't know who I need to tell this to right now, but God has 485 00:24:18,180 --> 00:24:21,940 brought you to this moment of decision because you are not dead 486 00:24:21,940 --> 00:24:22,220 yet. 487 00:24:22,220 --> 00:24:23,880 There's still a decision to. 488 00:24:24,110 --> 00:24:24,310 To. 489 00:24:24,310 --> 00:24:25,070 To be made. 490 00:24:25,390 --> 00:24:25,710 And. 491 00:24:25,710 --> 00:24:30,030 And what you can do is you can actually apologize to Joseph instead 492 00:24:30,030 --> 00:24:31,310 of throwing him in a well. 493 00:24:31,550 --> 00:24:31,910 You. 494 00:24:31,910 --> 00:24:33,230 You can prepare a. 495 00:24:33,230 --> 00:24:37,350 A true offering before the Lord, like Abel did instead of killing 496 00:24:37,350 --> 00:24:37,630 him. 497 00:24:37,630 --> 00:24:40,109 And you can lift up Moses weary. 498 00:24:40,110 --> 00:24:42,590 Hands instead of complaining to him. 499 00:24:42,590 --> 00:24:45,710 And you can confess that you're a sinner to Jesus Christ. 500 00:24:45,870 --> 00:24:49,310 And you can say, jesus, I don't even know why I'm in this church. 501 00:24:49,650 --> 00:24:52,730 I don't even know how I didn't burst into flames the second I walked 502 00:24:52,730 --> 00:24:53,770 in Jesus. 503 00:24:53,770 --> 00:24:55,970 I don't even know why I'm watching this on YouTube. 504 00:24:56,050 --> 00:24:58,690 I don't even know that I can actually be a Christian. 505 00:24:58,690 --> 00:25:02,570 But remember me, because in that moment, the verdict of your 506 00:25:02,570 --> 00:25:05,569 life will change as the judge come on. 507 00:25:05,569 --> 00:25:07,970 And the oh, I'm talking to somebody. 508 00:25:08,050 --> 00:25:12,890 And the lawyer named Jesus argues you a different case and says, 509 00:25:12,890 --> 00:25:18,700 I would have paid in full every single sin, every single failure. 510 00:25:18,780 --> 00:25:20,140 I provisioned it. 511 00:25:20,140 --> 00:25:23,180 And I say, innocent, not guilty. 512 00:25:23,660 --> 00:25:25,580 Not because of what you've done. 513 00:25:25,820 --> 00:25:30,540 Because when I was hanging on the cross, I said, it is finished. 514 00:25:34,060 --> 00:25:35,780 That's who I came here for. 515 00:25:35,780 --> 00:25:39,860 Today, the verdict of your life changes in the assignment of 516 00:25:39,860 --> 00:25:40,700 the evil one. 517 00:25:41,060 --> 00:25:44,900 To kill, to steal and to destroy is broken. 518 00:25:44,980 --> 00:25:49,540 And Jesus said, I came to give you life and life more abundantly. 519 00:25:49,620 --> 00:25:54,420 That means life without depression, life without anxiety, 520 00:25:54,660 --> 00:25:59,140 life without addiction, life without lust and perversion. 521 00:25:59,380 --> 00:26:01,620 Life and life more abundantly. 522 00:26:01,700 --> 00:26:05,340 Not when you get to heaven, but because he's bringing heaven 523 00:26:05,340 --> 00:26:07,230 down here into to earth. 524 00:26:07,310 --> 00:26:12,150 He said, on earth as it is in heaven, some of you, your home feels 525 00:26:12,150 --> 00:26:15,110 like hell, but heaven can come into your home. 526 00:26:15,110 --> 00:26:19,150 Right now, I'm talking to somebody watching from the hospital 527 00:26:19,470 --> 00:26:20,190 right now. 528 00:26:20,190 --> 00:26:22,270 The Holy Spirit is quickening me. 529 00:26:22,270 --> 00:26:25,990 You're laying in that hospital bed and you're saying, lord, what 530 00:26:25,990 --> 00:26:26,750 can you do? 531 00:26:26,910 --> 00:26:30,350 And I send the word through that screen right now. 532 00:26:30,510 --> 00:26:34,780 Just say, rise up in full health in Jesus name. 533 00:26:35,020 --> 00:26:39,060 And I pray for every sick person watching right now, saying, 534 00:26:39,060 --> 00:26:40,620 God, are you done with me? 535 00:26:40,620 --> 00:26:42,620 If you're not dead, you're not done. 536 00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:43,340 Get up. 537 00:26:43,660 --> 00:26:45,820 He's healing somebody right now. 538 00:26:46,780 --> 00:26:47,820 Hallelujah. 539 00:26:48,219 --> 00:26:51,020 The verdict will change when you give him your life. 540 00:26:51,980 --> 00:26:54,060 Jesus replied with a promise. 541 00:26:54,220 --> 00:26:57,260 And this reveals why it's called Good Friday. 542 00:26:58,950 --> 00:27:04,790 With the King of the Jews hanging over his head, he says this, 543 00:27:06,950 --> 00:27:10,070 tonight you'll be with me in paradise. 544 00:27:12,310 --> 00:27:13,910 He was the king of the Jews. 545 00:27:14,390 --> 00:27:16,070 He is the king of the Jews. 546 00:27:16,310 --> 00:27:17,990 He's the king of all kings. 547 00:27:18,230 --> 00:27:19,990 He's the king over cancer. 548 00:27:20,310 --> 00:27:20,750 Come on. 549 00:27:20,750 --> 00:27:21,910 I'm talking to somebody. 550 00:27:22,230 --> 00:27:24,150 He's the king over mental illness. 551 00:27:24,770 --> 00:27:25,490 He's the king. 552 00:27:25,570 --> 00:27:26,090 Come on. 553 00:27:26,090 --> 00:27:27,730 He's the king of all kings. 554 00:27:28,690 --> 00:27:31,810 And so what we're gonna do right now in this moment is stand 555 00:27:31,810 --> 00:27:34,770 to our feet across every location and every home. 556 00:27:34,930 --> 00:27:39,250 If you don't have communion at home, I dare you to go get some crackers 557 00:27:39,250 --> 00:27:40,050 or some bread. 558 00:27:40,290 --> 00:27:44,170 He said, for as often as you do this, do this in remembrance of 559 00:27:44,170 --> 00:27:44,530 me. 560 00:27:44,690 --> 00:27:45,650 What does that mean? 561 00:27:45,730 --> 00:27:47,650 It means that we can do this now. 562 00:27:48,450 --> 00:27:51,930 If you have some bread, if you have some juice at home, I want you 563 00:27:51,930 --> 00:27:53,210 to get these elements ready. 564 00:27:53,210 --> 00:27:57,250 And I want to bring us to the conclusion of this time together. 565 00:27:58,850 --> 00:28:02,770 The power of God flows through communion. 566 00:28:03,330 --> 00:28:10,330 Communion is a reminder that when I break bread with Judas, when 567 00:28:10,330 --> 00:28:15,010 the very one that's going to betray me is in the room, he can 568 00:28:15,010 --> 00:28:17,490 kiss me, and I kiss him back. 569 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,320 Matter of fact, the last words that Jesus said to Judas was friend. 570 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,720 He called him friend because he said, it's not personal. 571 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:28,880 I know my plan. 572 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:35,080 I feel confident in Jesus that even when people betray us, we can 573 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,080 say it's not personal. 574 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,880 He's just mad at the God on the inside of me. 575 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,000 Come on. 576 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,480 I think probably you would like me, but the God on the inside 577 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,550 of me is a offensive to your carnal flesh, and it's not personal. 578 00:28:47,870 --> 00:28:51,710 Jesus calls Judas friend the very last time they interact. 579 00:28:51,710 --> 00:28:53,950 And I don't think Jesus ever lied. 580 00:28:54,030 --> 00:28:57,270 I think Jesus was saying, I'm a friend to you even if you're not 581 00:28:57,270 --> 00:28:57,670 a friend. 582 00:28:57,670 --> 00:28:58,190 To me. 583 00:28:58,270 --> 00:29:01,270 How many of you know that when you've got Jesus on the inside of 584 00:29:01,270 --> 00:29:05,550 you, the world can use you, they can abuse you, they can reject 585 00:29:05,550 --> 00:29:05,950 you. 586 00:29:05,950 --> 00:29:08,990 And you say, well, I'll still be a friend to you because the only 587 00:29:08,990 --> 00:29:12,150 thing you can't do is say, stop me because you never started 588 00:29:12,150 --> 00:29:12,550 me. 589 00:29:12,550 --> 00:29:16,150 The only thing you can't do is cancel me because you never called 590 00:29:16,150 --> 00:29:16,470 me. 591 00:29:16,550 --> 00:29:19,270 Jesus was confident that he was going all away. 592 00:29:19,510 --> 00:29:22,390 He was going to be seated at the right hand of the Father. 593 00:29:22,390 --> 00:29:26,029 And some of you need to grow in confidence that they can talk 594 00:29:26,029 --> 00:29:26,390 about. 595 00:29:26,470 --> 00:29:29,110 You, mistreat you, abandon you. 596 00:29:29,110 --> 00:29:31,190 They can do everything but stop you. 597 00:29:31,270 --> 00:29:34,790 And communion is a reminder that I can break my. 598 00:29:34,790 --> 00:29:36,230 But is this what Jesus said? 599 00:29:36,370 --> 00:29:37,650 I'm going to break my body. 600 00:29:37,730 --> 00:29:40,850 You can eat my flesh, you can drink my blood. 601 00:29:40,850 --> 00:29:43,970 And the only thing that's going to happen to me is I'm going 602 00:29:43,970 --> 00:29:46,850 to rise and be seated at the right hand of the Father. 603 00:29:47,170 --> 00:29:48,650 See, some of them thought that they. 604 00:29:48,650 --> 00:29:50,290 Were taking advantage of you. 605 00:29:50,450 --> 00:29:52,930 No, you're becoming more like Jesus. 606 00:29:53,090 --> 00:29:55,090 You can't take advantage of me. 607 00:29:55,330 --> 00:29:59,810 Take what you need, but I'm headed to higher heights and deeper 608 00:29:59,810 --> 00:30:00,770 depths in him. 609 00:30:00,930 --> 00:30:02,610 Can somebody say amen? 610 00:30:04,010 --> 00:30:06,250 So Good Friday is a promise to. 611 00:30:06,250 --> 00:30:08,010 Us that we don't stay down. 612 00:30:09,530 --> 00:30:11,090 It's a promise to us that we. 613 00:30:11,090 --> 00:30:13,970 Might be hanging with sinners, but we're going to be seated with 614 00:30:13,970 --> 00:30:14,570 the Father. 615 00:30:14,970 --> 00:30:19,089 It's a promise to us that the way you see me now ain't gonna be 616 00:30:19,089 --> 00:30:20,490 the way I always look. 617 00:30:22,810 --> 00:30:27,210 Check back in with me, Jesus said, because in a couple days, you're 618 00:30:27,210 --> 00:30:29,050 not even going to be able to recognize me. 619 00:30:29,770 --> 00:30:31,410 Matter of fact, I'm gonna have a glow up. 620 00:30:31,410 --> 00:30:33,930 All the way up from hell, I'm gonna have a glow up. 621 00:30:34,330 --> 00:30:37,730 They didn't even recognize Jesus walking in their midst because 622 00:30:37,730 --> 00:30:39,370 he had a glorified body. 623 00:30:39,610 --> 00:30:42,890 Some of you need to look in the mirror and say, jesus, take me 624 00:30:42,890 --> 00:30:44,170 from glory to glory. 625 00:30:44,490 --> 00:30:46,130 Some of you been through hell. 626 00:30:46,130 --> 00:30:47,410 Now it's time to go all the. 627 00:30:47,410 --> 00:30:48,330 Way up to heaven. 628 00:30:48,410 --> 00:30:50,250 It's time to go to your next level. 629 00:30:50,330 --> 00:30:52,810 There's gonna be some people that have to do a double take. 630 00:30:52,890 --> 00:30:53,970 I thought I knew them. 631 00:30:53,970 --> 00:30:55,510 Oh, yeah, you knew this, that version. 632 00:30:55,510 --> 00:30:58,110 Of me, but I don't stay that version. 633 00:30:58,190 --> 00:31:00,230 I was just going through that. 634 00:31:00,230 --> 00:31:02,110 That was not my final destination. 635 00:31:02,430 --> 00:31:04,430 This is the story of Good Friday. 636 00:31:04,670 --> 00:31:06,790 We are journeying with Jesus. 637 00:31:06,790 --> 00:31:10,030 And if Jesus gets glorified, we get glorified. 638 00:31:10,110 --> 00:31:10,829 If Jesus. 639 00:31:10,829 --> 00:31:12,030 Come on, somebody. 640 00:31:13,390 --> 00:31:14,990 It's not our final destination. 641 00:31:16,030 --> 00:31:17,470 I'm Just passing through. 642 00:31:17,950 --> 00:31:19,710 Only reason I'm going down to hell. 643 00:31:19,710 --> 00:31:22,670 Jesus said, I'm preaching to the prisoners and I'm gonna release 644 00:31:22,670 --> 00:31:23,550 them from chains. 645 00:31:23,570 --> 00:31:23,730 And. 646 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,440 And he goes into the lowest part of hell and sets all the captives 647 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:27,800 free. 648 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,200 And I don't know if you know this, if you read your Bibles. 649 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,240 When Jesus was resurrected, so were the saints with him. 650 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,280 Oh, I'm talking to somebody. 651 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:41,240 Is there anybody who believes that this is not your final destination? 652 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,200 They saw you at your lowest. 653 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,520 And you said, God, why didn't you remove them from my life? 654 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,850 He said, because I needed them to stand, stay, so they can watch 655 00:31:51,850 --> 00:31:52,450 you win. 656 00:31:52,690 --> 00:31:53,970 I needed them to stay. 657 00:31:54,130 --> 00:31:55,810 They saw you at your lowest. 658 00:31:55,810 --> 00:31:57,890 I needed them to stay to watch you win. 659 00:31:57,890 --> 00:32:04,770 You win not for your glory, but to prove that he's God, to prove 660 00:32:04,770 --> 00:32:08,970 that he's a way maker, to prove that he's a healer, to prove 661 00:32:08,970 --> 00:32:10,370 that he's a provider. 662 00:32:10,450 --> 00:32:11,810 Not for my sake. 663 00:32:12,930 --> 00:32:15,170 I'm talking to a single mother right now. 664 00:32:15,490 --> 00:32:19,130 I'm talking to a working man that decided to live for Jesus. 665 00:32:19,130 --> 00:32:23,490 I'm telling you, when you make a decision for Jesus, you made a 666 00:32:23,490 --> 00:32:28,250 decision for your own resurrection, for his glory. 667 00:32:30,010 --> 00:32:30,410 So. 668 00:32:31,930 --> 00:32:34,650 Oh, I feel the power of God on this one. 669 00:32:35,130 --> 00:32:39,050 So I want you to take your cup, I want you to get it ready. 670 00:32:39,610 --> 00:32:41,090 You got me sweating up here. 671 00:32:41,090 --> 00:32:43,610 You guys wore me out. 672 00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:52,500 But let me tell you, I feel we're on the precipice of a very 673 00:32:53,140 --> 00:32:54,980 historic event together. 674 00:32:56,500 --> 00:32:57,460 Where's Bella? 675 00:32:58,420 --> 00:33:01,860 What year was it when they would strategically light up the 676 00:33:01,860 --> 00:33:03,380 skyline in Manhattan? 677 00:33:05,220 --> 00:33:07,140 1956. 678 00:33:08,180 --> 00:33:10,580 It is now 2026. 679 00:33:12,350 --> 00:33:16,590 And they can put the most heinous, vile depictions of monsters 680 00:33:17,150 --> 00:33:20,030 in the skyline of New York City, where, you know, where we live. 681 00:33:20,030 --> 00:33:22,110 We have a full view of New York City skyline. 682 00:33:22,110 --> 00:33:26,230 And I've been appalled to see them light up the windows of the 683 00:33:26,230 --> 00:33:29,470 buildings to create the face, the very edifice of a demon. 684 00:33:29,870 --> 00:33:31,390 But they won't put the cross. 685 00:33:33,390 --> 00:33:39,380 It's not anti Muhammad, it's not anti Buddha, it's not anti Krishna. 686 00:33:39,780 --> 00:33:42,740 It's Antichrist is the spirit. 687 00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:47,460 They were antichrist 2000 years ago. 688 00:33:47,460 --> 00:33:48,740 That's why they killed him. 689 00:33:49,940 --> 00:33:53,540 But see, what happened is when you killed Christ, you mobilized 690 00:33:53,940 --> 00:33:59,900 an army because Peter went from forsaking Jesus to becoming 691 00:33:59,900 --> 00:34:01,380 one of the greatest apostles. 692 00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:08,440 And this movement, it started with 12, grows to millions. 693 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,000 Millions become billions. 694 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:16,080 And it may sometimes feel like all the odds are against us. 695 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,720 I know it's hard in Miami, Florida. 696 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,800 I know it's hard on Long Island. 697 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,120 I know it's Hard in Chicagoland. 698 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,000 And sometimes it could feel so isolating. 699 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:32,900 I look at the young people, generation Z Gen Alpha to feel like 700 00:34:34,420 --> 00:34:35,940 the odds are against us. 701 00:34:37,620 --> 00:34:42,500 You go to school, you tell your your friends that you're a Christian. 702 00:34:42,660 --> 00:34:47,460 What are your Jesus freak, you know, it's Antichrist. 703 00:34:48,420 --> 00:34:50,500 But how many of you know the tide is turning? 704 00:34:51,460 --> 00:34:54,100 How many of you feel something in the atmosphere? 705 00:34:54,740 --> 00:34:59,800 Because see, whenever the majority becomes a minority, whenever 706 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,560 things become impossible, I mean, you got to walk up to the Red 707 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,040 Sea and he doesn't split it before you get there because that 708 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,240 wouldn't require faith. 709 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,960 He waits until it's impossible. 710 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,840 This is the pattern over and over and over again. 711 00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:18,760 Joseph gets a dream, but the dream seems impossible. 712 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,400 How am I going to fulfill this dream? 713 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:27,330 From prison I had a prisoner send me a check for A$47 because 714 00:35:27,330 --> 00:35:31,330 he watches my sermons from prison and said, I want to give God 715 00:35:31,330 --> 00:35:34,650 the best offering I can give him because I didn't do it while 716 00:35:34,650 --> 00:35:35,570 I was on the outside. 717 00:35:36,450 --> 00:35:39,610 I told him, when you get out, you come to V1 church and give Papa 718 00:35:39,610 --> 00:35:43,170 Sigs a hug because God's got a hope and a future for you. 719 00:35:43,730 --> 00:35:46,850 But when it seems impossible, think about it. 720 00:35:47,340 --> 00:35:53,540 The Lord says, for with God, come on. 721 00:35:53,540 --> 00:35:54,460 Some of you know it. 722 00:35:55,020 --> 00:35:58,060 For with God, come on. 723 00:35:58,060 --> 00:36:00,220 There's some of you know, some of you know it. 724 00:36:00,220 --> 00:36:02,100 Say it louder with your own voice. 725 00:36:02,100 --> 00:36:06,140 For with God all things are possible. 726 00:36:07,100 --> 00:36:07,900 All things. 727 00:36:09,020 --> 00:36:14,140 So right now we have to believe that we are the revival generation. 728 00:36:15,220 --> 00:36:18,540 We have to believe that we are the ones that are actually going 729 00:36:18,540 --> 00:36:19,540 to turn the tide. 730 00:36:20,020 --> 00:36:24,580 We have to believe that Maranatha Christ come quickly. 731 00:36:24,980 --> 00:36:28,580 But he's returning for a bride without spot or blemish. 732 00:36:28,980 --> 00:36:30,500 He's working out the wrinkles. 733 00:36:31,460 --> 00:36:32,580 That's what this is. 734 00:36:32,980 --> 00:36:33,380 This. 735 00:36:33,860 --> 00:36:37,620 So take a look at this wafer if you're at home, take a look at 736 00:36:37,620 --> 00:36:39,380 the bread, the crackers, the juice. 737 00:36:40,670 --> 00:36:42,430 This is his body, this is his blood. 738 00:36:42,910 --> 00:36:46,910 But let me explain what covenant is as we prepare to pray. 739 00:36:47,390 --> 00:36:51,790 Covenant is you lay down your life, so I'm gonna lay mine down. 740 00:36:52,670 --> 00:36:57,630 Covenant is you led by example and I will follow you. 741 00:36:57,630 --> 00:36:59,390 Instead of killing what I should become. 742 00:37:00,430 --> 00:37:01,150 Watch this. 743 00:37:01,390 --> 00:37:06,670 I am the living sacrifice and I will die so that I can become like 744 00:37:06,670 --> 00:37:06,990 you. 745 00:37:07,550 --> 00:37:10,470 Do you see the flip God? 746 00:37:10,470 --> 00:37:10,990 I'll die. 747 00:37:10,990 -->
