weeks ago 40 00:01:33,233 --> 00:01:35,066 is he's restoring the 41 00:01:35,266 --> 00:01:39,066 the dream that he had from the beginning in the garden 42 00:01:39,066 --> 00:01:41,133 that this was what he did through Jesus 43 00:01:41,266 --> 00:01:43,633 it was more than just getting us into heaven 44 00:01:43,633 --> 00:01:45,266 it was getting heaven into us 45 00:01:45,266 --> 00:01:48,700 amen and he's restoring the dream that he had 46 00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:52,100 that in his wild imagination and creation 47 00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:54,166 he created earth the heavens 48 00:01:54,166 --> 00:01:56,366 everything we see he created mankind 49 00:01:56,366 --> 00:01:57,966 he created us to steward it 50 00:01:57,966 --> 00:02:01,700 to inhabit it to be fruitful and multiply 51 00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:04,966 to expand the garden of Eden throughout the globe 52 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,866 not just in multiplying in kids and families 53 00:02:09,866 --> 00:02:12,966 but also multiplying everything that the garden had 54 00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:14,300 throughout the rest of the globe 55 00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:15,000 and so 56 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000 and then we saw on Matthew 6 where he restored that in 57 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,266 into prayer right when he says hey 58 00:02:20,266 --> 00:02:22,433 if you pray a prayer pray this prayer 59 00:02:22,433 --> 00:02:25,500 that on when that god his kingdom would come 60 00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:28,266 his will would be done on the earth 61 00:02:28,266 --> 00:02:30,633 just as it is in heaven and so 62 00:02:30,633 --> 00:02:31,366 we talked about 63 00:02:31,366 --> 00:02:35,900 how the cross really reconciled the original plan 64 00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:37,366 which was that we would walk and talk

00:06:01,166 --> 00:06:02,466 he says this in another passage 150 00:06:02,466 --> 00:06:04,566 that the mystery is Christ in you 151 00:06:04,566 --> 00:06:05,566 the hope of glory 152 00:06:05,566 --> 00:06:07,666 if we understand where he's speaking from 153 00:06:07,666 --> 00:06:09,566 the idea that you could get saved 154 00:06:09,566 --> 00:06:11,766 and Christ could come and live in your heart 155 00:06:12,233 --> 00:06:14,933 was a new concept it didn't exist 156 00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:18,300 this is the whole point of what Jesus did 157 00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:21,266 in reconciling mankind back to himself 158 00:06:21,266 --> 00:06:23,066 and making it possible to there 159 00:06:23,066 --> 00:06:23,900 there be therefore 160 00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:26,066 no separation by the

00:09:21,133 to the spirit realm 232 00:09:22,366 --> 00:09:24,000 to the principalities 233 00:09:24,466 --> 00:09:27,866 to the things that are currently at this time 234 00:09:27,866 --> 00:09:29,400 were in control 235 00:09:29,833 --> 00:09:33,033 until Jesus took the keys of hell and death back 236 00:09:33,033 --> 00:09:34,033 and authority back 237 00:09:34,033 --> 00:09:35,600 this is what he said at the end of the day right 238 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,100 all authority has been given to me 239 00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:38,533 now go therefore 240 00:09:39,433 --> 00:09:41,400 so at this time 241 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,166 principalities carry power and authority 242 00:09:43,166 --> 00:09:44,700 and then how do they get the power and authority 243 00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:45,966 how does the enemy get it 244 00:09:47,366 --> 00:09:48,366 it go back to Adam and Eve 245 00:09:48,366 --> 00:09:50,400 he gives you a lie and we buy into it 246 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,633 and we forfeit our authority 247 00:09:51,633 --> 00:09:52,466 and we give it over 248 00:09:52,466 --> 00:09:54,200 and we're the ones who actually have the authority 249 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,966 and now we've given it to the enemy 250 00:09:55,966 --> 00:09:57,500 who now is able to reign 251 00:09:59,566 --> 00:10:01,600 so how do we not do that 252

and life should look like something more than just 294 00:11:42,366 --> 00:11:43,400 waiting for him to get back 295 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,066 that's right that's right 296 00:11:45,366 --> 00:11:46,633 the enemy comes to steal kill 297 00:11:46,633 --> 00:11:47,966 and destroy Jesus says 298 00:11:47,966 --> 00:11:49,166 but I have come to give life 299 00:11:49,166 --> 00:11:50,400 and

this in Thessalonians 309 00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:16,433 he says they who compare themselves with themselves 310 00:12:16,433 --> 00:12:17,900 are without understanding 311 00:12:18,833 --> 00:12:20,900 because comparison kills yeah 312 00:12:21,566 --> 00:12:24,166 no longer do I reveal the the 313 00:12:24,166 --> 00:12:26,966 the the unique expression when I'm comparing 314

earth 324 00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:48,600 gets shut down that's why Paul says 325 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,233 they who compare themselves with themselves 326 00:12:50,233 --> 00:12:51,966 are without understanding they 327 00:12:51,966 --> 00:12:54,166 they're missing it they're missing the point 328 00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:56,366 you actually can't be compared 329 00:12:56,500 --> 00:12:57,266

is when he's giving him 355 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,733 the design of the tabernacle 356 00:13:55,066 --> 00:13:57,033 and he gives him a design of a tabernacle 357 00:13:57,033 --> 00:13:58,733 you guys remember this conversation 358 00:13:58,766 --> 00:14:00,966 this tabernacle was a picture of something 359 00:14:00,966 --> 00:14:02,333 that was in a different realm 360 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:04,233 and the Lord said 361 00:14:04,233 --> 00:14:06,333 I want you to create this on the earth 362 00:14:06,833 --> 00:14:08,800 and I'm gonna give you the design and the blueprint 363 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:09,366 you know how we like 364 00:14:09,366 --> 00:14:10,500 pray for Lord 365 00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:13,000 give us blueprints and designs and upgrade 366 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,000 this is this happening 367 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,833 this is an example where this happens 368 00:14:15,833 --> 00:14:18,466 he literally gets a blueprint of a structure 369 00:14:18,666 --> 00:14:20,466 that is from a different world 370 00:14:20,466 --> 00:14:21,900 and he begins to build it 371 00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:23,966 and it actually comes manifest on the earth 372 00:14:23,966 --> 00:14:25,933 it comes a reality in the natural 373 00:14:27,166 --> 00:14:28,766 now when he does this 374 00:14:28,766 --> 00:14:31,500 it's needed because it's from a different realm 375 00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:33,833 it's actually needing something the other 376 00:14:33,833 --> 00:14:35,566 other worldly if you will 377 00:14:35,633 --> 00:14:37,100 for it to get carried out 378 00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:39,033 come on so he says to 379 00:14:39,033 --> 00:14:41,066 to Moses the Lord says to Moses 380 00:14:42,066 --> 00:14:44,166 see I have called by name Bezalel 381 00:14:44,166 --> 00:14:46,266 the son of Uri the son of her 382 00:14:46,266 --> 00:14:47,666 of the tribe of Judah 383 00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:49,900 I have filled him with the spirit of god 384 00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:51,966 in wisdom in understanding 385 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,766 in knowledge and in all kinds of craftsmanship 386 00:14:55,433 --> 00:14:56,233 okay 387 00:14:58,300 --> 00:14:59,800 this is the first time it's mentioned 388 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,300 where we hear someone being filled with 389 00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:04,133 the Holy Spirit this is before Christ 390 00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:05,966 after Christ it's available 391 00:15:05,966 --> 00:15:07,666 we're all having indwelling 392 00:15:07,666 --> 00:15:10,000 he makes his home in us we become the temple 393 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,200 before that that wasn't 394 00:15:12,766 --> 00:15:13,633 and there was times 395 00:15:13,633 --> 00:15:15,066 where the spirit would come on people 396 00:15:15,066 --> 00:15:18,466 but not in them and here's an example where he says I 397 00:15:18,466 --> 00:15:21,600 I'm I'm putting my spirit in Bezalel 398 00:15:22,833 --> 00:15:25,466 and I'm filling him with

this sound familiar 402 00:15:30,466 --> 00:15:32,166 you remember we started in Ephesians 403 00:15:32,866 --> 00:15:35,600 and it said that we are to reveal the wisdom 404 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,900 multifaceted wisdom of god 405 00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:41,700 the expression of god this is him doing that 406 00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:42,966 he fills him with the spirit 407 00:15:42,966 --> 00:15:45,000 so that he can reveal his wisdom 408 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,633 in understanding and knowledge 409 00:15:46,633 --> 00:15:48,300 and in all kinds of craftsmanship 410 00:15:48,300

00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:25,033 the son of ahishamak the tribe of Dan 424 00:16:25,033 --> 00:16:27,833 and in the hearts of all who are skillful 425 00:16:27,833 --> 00:16:31,633 I have put skill that they may make all that 426 00:16:31,633 --> 00:16:33,100 I have commanded you look 427 00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:34,300 I'm giving you it's like this 428 00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:35,366 if I was to paraphrase it 429 00:16:35,366 --> 00:16:35,966 lord's like hey 430 00:16:35,966 --> 00:16:37,066 I'm giving you a design 431 00:16:37,066 --> 00:16:38,400 you're not gonna be able to do it 432 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,833 but I'm gonna get I'm gonna put my Holy Spirit in you 433 00:16:41,833 --> 00:16:44,433 so that you actually have the wisdom and the insight 434 00:16:44,433 --> 00:16:45,300 that's needed 435 00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:47,766 to take the resources that are around you and 436 00:16:47,766 --> 00:16:50,966 and manipulate them in such a way to create this 437 00:16:50,966 --> 00:16:53,166 this idea that I'm trying to give you to make 438 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,166 you're gonna need this to do that 439 00:16:59,366 --> 00:17:00,933 this is pretty significant 440 00:17:03,066 --> 00:17:04,900 and I think we overlook it 441 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,966 cause we stop at the cross 442 00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:10,466 instead of walking through and realizing what he did 443 00:17:10,466 --> 00:17:12,000 what he you know 444 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,700 what he paid for us to have 445 00:17:14,366 --> 00:17:16,200 it wasn't so that we could camp 446 00:17:17,566 --> 00:17:19,100 it was so that we can move 447 00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:22,200 it was so that we actually could 448 00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:25,800 reveal his nature 449 00:17:26,166 --> 00:17:28,733 cause he wants to give you ideas and things to do 450 00:17:28,966 --> 00:17:30,966 and you need the Holy Spirit to do it 451 00:17:31,833 --> 00:17:33,500 and you have the Holy Spirit 452 00:17:34,266 --> 00:17:36,400 so now what if you tapped into the Holy Spirit 453 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,566 to gain the wisdom and insight from another world 454 00:17:38,566 --> 00:17:39,800 to create and build 455 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,200 and do something that was otherworldly 456 00:17:43,466 --> 00:17:46,400 ordinary people doing extraordinary things 457 00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:48,733 this is the assignment of the body of Christ 458 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,066 we can't do it on our own 459 00:17:51,066 --> 00:17:53,900 we actually need him if we can do the things 460 00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:55,566 that we have found ourselves doing 461 00:17:55,566 --> 00:17:57,366 it's likely not his assignment 462 00:17:57,900 --> 00:18:00,033 because you're meant to create something otherworldly 463 00:18:00,033 --> 00:18:01,300 yeah okay 464 00:18:01,300 --> 00:18:03,000 getting ahead of myself it's good 465 00:18:04,366 --> 00:18:05,166 it's good 466 00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:10,500 all right 467 00:18:11,466 --> 00:18:12,100 we won't I 468 00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:13,566 I won't get into reading this 469 00:18:13,566 --> 00:18:15,100 but let's talk about Solomon 470 00:18:15,466 --> 00:18:17,866 um Solomon what 471 00:18:17,866 --> 00:18:18,500 what he had one 472 00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:19,166 one uh 473 00:18:19,166 --> 00:18:19,966 uh uh 474 00:18:20,066 --> 00:18:21,700 one guess he had one wish 475 00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:23,233 one wish what did he wish 476 00:18:23,233 --> 00:18:25,066 what did he get wisdom 477 00:18:25,700 --> 00:18:27,000 you seeing a trend here 478 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,166 he asked for wisdom 479 00:18:29,966 --> 00:18:33,533 what did wisdom end up looking like in his life 480 00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:38,900 it showed up in how he built the temple 481 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,566 how he organized and structured all the people 482 00:18:43,566 --> 00:18:45,933 to do the jobs that are inside the temple 483 00:18:46,366 --> 00:18:48,266 it's similar to the tabernacle 484 00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:51,833 where it's it's wisdom from another world 485 00:18:51,833 --> 00:18:54,766 now he's doing something that hasn't been seen before 486 00:18:55,633 --> 00:18:58,400 and we it's gonna hard for us to see it 487 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,500 because the things that he talks about 488 00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:01,800 are things that we know 489 00:19:02,366 --> 00:19:03,000 come on Dan 490 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,366 but at that time they didn't 491 00:19:04,366 --> 00:19:05,166 that's right 492 00:19:05,766 --> 00:19:08,766 that's right so he builds a temple 493 00:19:08,766 --> 00:19:10,500 he does some amazing stuff 494 00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:13,100 and I'm just giving you the really 495 00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:14,700 Reader's Digest version of the story 496 00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:16,800 and the Queen of Sheba hears about it 497 00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:19,633 what's the queen of Sheba 498 00:19:19,633

00:32:14,766 --> 00:32:16,266 that hadn't happened before 831 00:32:16,266 --> 00:32:19,133 and it trended and and became a global phenomenon 832 00:32:19,866 --> 00:32:22,466 and the all the world has come there 833 00:32:22,466 --> 00:32:24,700 and I think the biggest impact 834 00:32:24,700 --> 00:32:27,266 and biggest thing for me to see 835 00:32:27,266 --> 00:32:29,933 is the fact that when you hear about Waco 836 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,466 what do you think of 837 00:32:32,833 --> 00:32:34,133 chip and Joanna games 838 00:32:34,666 --> 00:32:35,766 and it wasn't long ago 839 00:32:35,766 --> 00:32:37,066 when you thought of something else 840 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,166 that's restoration 841 00:32:42,966 --> 00:32:44,666 because someone had an idea 842 00:32:45,566 --> 00:32:46,700 because someone had a dream 843 00:32:46,700 --> 00:32:49,700 and the Lord began to reveal a restorative nature 844 00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:52,266 and restoring a city even what it's named for 845 00:32:52,266 --> 00:32:55,400 known for and what it's traveled to for 846 00:32:57,100 --> 00:32:58,200 that's good dad 847 00:32:59,233 --> 00:33:00,866 what could he do through your dream 848 00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:03,400 what if you were free to dream 849 00:33:03,666 --> 00:33:04,800 what if you were free to dream 850 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,866 in a way that didn't look like anybody else's 851 00:33:06,866 --> 00:33:07,633 in fact I might 852 00:33:07,633 --> 00:33:09,000 I think it's kind of the point 853 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,100 yeah it is 854 00:33:10,100 --> 00:33:12,400 it is the point you'd have to be okay with the fact 855 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,000 that it didn't look like anybody else's 856 00:33:14,033 --> 00:33:14,833 yeah 857 00:33:15,266 --> 00:33:17,533 it might not make as much money as somebody else's 858 00:33:18,233 --> 00:33:20,233 it might not be quote unquote successful 859 00:33:20,233 --> 00:33:22,366 to the American dream if you pursued it 860 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,500 but I wanna challenge you 861 00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:26,700 to redefine your definition of success 862 00:33:27,166 --> 00:33:29,666 success isn't your net worth or how much money you make 863 00:33:29,666 --> 00:33:30,766 or what how many 864 00:33:30,766 --> 00:33:32,000 many properties you're own 865 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,966 success is actually walking out the call of god 866 00:33:33,966 --> 00:33:35,100 on your life amen 867 00:33:35,666 --> 00:33:38,533 you walk out what the Lord has called you to do amen 868 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,166 those guys in the Bible that we read about 869 00:33:41,166 --> 00:33:42,200 they didn't have a bank account 870 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,100 yeah come on 871 00:33:44,100 --> 00:33:47,100 and that is success they're in the hall of faith 872 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,533 because they said yes to the Lord 873 00:33:49,633 --> 00:33:51,333 and if you're yes to the Lord 874 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:52,433 I would I would 875 00:33:52,433 --> 00:33:54,466 I would venture to bet your yes to the Lord 876 00:33:54,466 --> 00:33:57,200 would reveal a side and a facet of who he is 877 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,933 in his wisdom that the world's never seen 878 00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:03,800 that actually might cause people to be drawn 879 00:34:04,366 --> 00:34:06,200 because it's his nature on display 880 00:34:06,466 --> 00:34:07,766 it's through your creativity 881 00:34:07,766 --> 00:34:09,033 it's through your ingenuity 882 00:34:09,033 --> 00:34:10,966 it's through your unique expression 883 00:34:10,966 --> 00:34:12,100 well then I'm not creative 884 00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:15,366 look you're made in the image of the creator 885 00:34:15,366 --> 00:34:16,966 you cannot be creative 886 00:34:16,966 --> 00:34:18,566 I don't care how left brain you are 887 00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:22,433 you still have a nature of revealing a side 888 00:34:22,433 --> 00:34:25,200 and a facet of who he is that nobody else 889 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,433 not the person next to you or on the other side of you 890 00:34:27,433 --> 00:34:29,166 has the ability to do so 891 00:34:29,633 --> 00:34:31,900 nobody has the ability to reveal the facet 892 00:34:31,900 --> 00:34:33,133 that you're meant to 893 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,400 and it isn't so that you get rich or wealthy 894 00:34:35,466 --> 00:34:38,333 it's actually so that he gets what he paid for 895 00:34:39,066 --> 00:34:41,400 cause he paid to restore it all back to him 896 00:34:41,933 --> 00:34:43,666 so let's not hold anything back 897 00:34:43,666 --> 00:34:46,466 when it comes to the assignments that are on your life 898 00:34:46,466 --> 00:34:48,066 the calls that are on your life 899 00:34:48,066 --> 00:34:50,166 even if it doesn't look like standing on a stage 900 00:34:50,166 --> 00:34:52,000 it might look like planning a board 901 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,566 because you make the best and I emphasize 902 00:34:55,566 --> 00:34:57,900 the wisdom of god is revealed through excellence 903 00:34:57,900 --> 00:34:59,600 it is the best 904 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,366 bookshelves that are known in all of the southeast 905 00:35:06,033 --> 00:35:07,466 there's something about them 906 00:35:08,666 --> 00:35:10,133 I know it sounds wild 907 00:35:10,466 --> 00:35:12,466 but it's literally what we just read 908 00:35:13,166 --> 00:35:14,700 it's how he showed up with Solomon 909 00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:16,300 it's how he showed up with 910 00:35:16,466 --> 00:35:17,666 with uh Moses 911 00:35:19,466 --> 00:35:21,166 and I think our short sightedness 912 00:35:21,166 --> 00:35:23,266 doesn't allow us to actually step into this 913 00:35:23,266 -->

another expanse 935 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,733 and there's an invitation that through the cross 936 00:36:18,766 --> 00:36:20,966 you can explore what it looks like 937 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,133 to reveal the wisdom the infinite wisdom 938 00:36:25,266 --> 00:36:26,800 the creative nature 939 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,033 the expression of who he is in the earth 940 00:36:30,033
