1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,400 Foreign. 2 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,280 I am standing on the Mount of Olives. 3 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,320 And this mountain is, is not just scenery. 4 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,040 It's an actual spiritual threshold. 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,880 It's the place where heaven touches earth. 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,800 Literally where prophecy bends time and where Jesus revealed who 7 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,520 he really is more clearly than anywhere else. 8 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,560 From here you can actually see Jerusalem. 9 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,160 You can see the Temple Mount, you can see over my shoulder the 10 00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:36,040 Eastern gate. 11 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,920 And every one of them is part of a divine pattern I'm going to 12 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,880 reveal to you in a few moments. 13 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,520 Nothing here is accidental. 14 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,480 This is an incredibly important message for you. 15 00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:49,640 So I need you to lean into this. 16 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,120 You know, the name Mount of Olives is not just poetic, it is 17 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,000 prophetic. 18 00:00:55,470 --> 00:00:58,310 Olives must be crushed in order to release oil. 19 00:00:58,310 --> 00:01:01,790 I know you've heard that before, and oil in Scripture, here's 20 00:01:01,790 --> 00:01:02,830 what it represents. 21 00:01:02,830 --> 00:01:05,150 It represents anointing light. 22 00:01:05,230 --> 00:01:09,510 It represents healing, consecration, and the spirit of the 23 00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:10,270 living God. 24 00:01:10,510 --> 00:01:13,870 Jesus did not pray his hardest prayers in the city. 25 00:01:14,110 --> 00:01:16,910 He actually prayed them from here, right here. 26 00:01:17,150 --> 00:01:21,630 Luke chapter 22 tells us that Jesus came to the Mount of Olives 27 00:01:21,870 --> 00:01:23,310 as was his custom. 28 00:01:23,860 --> 00:01:25,380 This was not a one time visit. 29 00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:28,580 This was his place of perpetual return. 30 00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:32,740 And just beneath this mountain is a garden called Gethsemane. 31 00:01:32,820 --> 00:01:35,780 And actually Gethsemane means the oil press. 32 00:01:36,340 --> 00:01:39,300 Before the cross, there was the crushing. 33 00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:39,780 Come on. 34 00:01:40,020 --> 00:01:44,940 And before blood flowed from his hands, sweat actually fell from 35 00:01:44,940 --> 00:01:47,300 his brow like drops of blood. 36 00:01:47,860 --> 00:01:51,460 This mountain reveals a truth that many don't want to hear, but, 37 00:01:51,460 --> 00:01:52,500 but need to hear. 38 00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:54,820 Glory is released through. 39 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:56,080 Come on. 40 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,480 I feel the power of God all over this message already because 41 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,600 we have a king who actually wept from this mountain. 42 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,240 Jesus. 43 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,080 He looked at Jerusalem. 44 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:11,519 And Luke chapter 19 says, and, and when he drew near and saw the 45 00:02:11,519 --> 00:02:14,880 city, this very view, he wept over it. 46 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,560 He didn't weep because he would be rejected. 47 00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:23,140 He wept because they didn't recognize the time of their visitation 48 00:02:23,140 --> 00:02:24,140 by Messiah. 49 00:02:24,220 --> 00:02:27,580 I mean, Jerusalem knew scripture, they knew prophecy, they 50 00:02:27,580 --> 00:02:30,940 knew religion, but they didn't know him. 51 00:02:30,940 --> 00:02:31,980 They missed him. 52 00:02:32,140 --> 00:02:35,340 And here is the warning of the Mount of Olives. 53 00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:39,700 Prophetically, you can be close to holy things and still miss 54 00:02:39,700 --> 00:02:40,780 the holy One. 55 00:02:40,940 --> 00:02:44,060 I mean, Jesus did not weep over pagans. 56 00:02:44,620 --> 00:02:48,980 He wept over the religious who were blind to what was really being 57 00:02:48,980 --> 00:02:50,780 fulfilled right before them. 58 00:02:51,230 --> 00:02:54,950 You know, as we continue to go deeper on this journey together. 59 00:02:54,950 --> 00:02:59,150 I mean, this is so powerful because this mountain carries ancient 60 00:02:59,150 --> 00:02:59,870 prophecy. 61 00:03:00,030 --> 00:03:05,110 Zechariah, the prophet in the 14th chapter says, on that day his 62 00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:09,750 feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies between Jerusalem 63 00:03:09,750 --> 00:03:10,590 on the east. 64 00:03:10,750 --> 00:03:14,310 I mean, that means something staggering if you understand, let 65 00:03:14,310 --> 00:03:14,990 me unpack. 66 00:03:15,150 --> 00:03:18,110 Jesus ascended from this very mountain. 67 00:03:18,110 --> 00:03:20,310 And he will return to this mountain. 68 00:03:20,310 --> 00:03:21,150 I mean, right here. 69 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,800 Acts chapter one tells us that as the disciples watched him ascend, 70 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:31,120 angels said, this same Jesus will come in the same way that you 71 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,040 saw him go. 72 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:38,040 Not symbolically, not spiritually, only physically, geographically 73 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,600 and historically. 74 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,000 Come on. 75 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,160 This should get you excited. 76 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,120 The Mount of Olives is the hinge of history. 77 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,290 It is the mountain of departure, the mountain of promise, 78 00:03:48,370 --> 00:03:50,530 but it's also the mountain of return. 79 00:03:50,690 --> 00:03:51,130 Come on. 80 00:03:51,130 --> 00:03:53,170 And I say, lord, come quickly. 81 00:03:53,250 --> 00:03:54,370 Return quickly. 82 00:03:54,690 --> 00:03:58,730 And so I really feel that we are nearer than we've ever been. 83 00:03:58,730 --> 00:04:02,450 And many people feel that it was here on this mountain that Jesus 84 00:04:02,450 --> 00:04:06,770 delivered what we now call the Olivet disco discourse. 85 00:04:06,850 --> 00:04:12,610 In Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, from this exact ridge, Jesus 86 00:04:12,670 --> 00:04:12,830 was. 87 00:04:12,980 --> 00:04:17,060 He spoke about the destruction of the temple, wars and rumors of 88 00:04:17,060 --> 00:04:22,100 wars, deception, many false Christs rising up, global shaking, 89 00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,340 the coming of the Son of Man. 90 00:04:24,420 --> 00:04:27,060 It was all spoken and declared from this space. 91 00:04:27,620 --> 00:04:29,620 This was not fear based preaching. 92 00:04:29,860 --> 00:04:32,020 This was clarity in chaos. 93 00:04:32,260 --> 00:04:32,900 Come on. 94 00:04:32,980 --> 00:04:35,780 Jesus wasn't trying to scare his disciples. 95 00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:39,140 He was trying to prepare them to anchor them. 96 00:04:39,140 --> 00:04:42,980 And that's why he tells them in his own words, God, do not be 97 00:04:42,980 --> 00:04:43,700 alarmed. 98 00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:44,740 Come on. 99 00:04:44,820 --> 00:04:49,260 In other words, when the world starts shaking, when the unprepared 100 00:04:49,260 --> 00:04:50,980 are panicking, come on. 101 00:04:50,980 --> 00:04:53,380 The prepared are ready to receive. 102 00:04:53,620 --> 00:04:58,540 You know, the Mount of Olives teaches us that prophecy is not necessarily 103 00:04:58,540 --> 00:04:59,540 about dates. 104 00:04:59,620 --> 00:05:01,940 It's about discernment of dates. 105 00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:05,940 And we must increase in our discernment spiritually. 106 00:05:06,260 --> 00:05:08,260 And that's why I'm here right now. 107 00:05:08,580 --> 00:05:12,790 Every major moment connected to this mountain is a choice. 108 00:05:13,190 --> 00:05:16,150 It's you stand in the crossroads even watching this right 109 00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:16,470 now. 110 00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:18,390 Will you watch or sleep? 111 00:05:18,550 --> 00:05:20,870 Will you discern or be deceived? 112 00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:24,230 Will you endure or are you going to fall away? 113 00:05:24,470 --> 00:05:28,950 Because Jesus says, watch therefore, for you do not know on 114 00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:31,270 what day your Lord is coming. 115 00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:35,190 Watching in scripture does not mean me just staring in the sky, 116 00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:35,670 right? 117 00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:38,710 It means living wide awake. 118 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,960 It means living with urgency, with holiness, and living with compassion 119 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:44,760 from the cross. 120 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,000 The Mount of Olives. 121 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,800 It confronts comfortable Christianity and it basically tells 122 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,280 us this is not a spectator faith. 123 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,880 This is a preparation faith, living in anticipation of him using 124 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,920 you to fulfill the Great Commission and lead the lost to the 125 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,080 cross at any cost. 126 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:03,720 Come on. 127 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,680 From here, you can see the eastern gate. 128 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,370 I mean, it's right over my shoulder and. 129 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,600 And it's been sealed shut for centuries. 130 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:10,960 Why? 131 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,720 You know, Jewish tradition says that the Messiah would enter 132 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,840 right through It. 133 00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:18,080 And, and here's the staggering truth. 134 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,360 First of all, Jesus already did. 135 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,200 On Palm Sunday, he descended from this mountain, he crossed the 136 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,200 Kidron Valley, and he entered Jerusalem. 137 00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:33,560 I mean, the gate is closed because history already recorded 138 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:34,160 its king. 139 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,470 And any attempt to stop it will not prevail. 140 00:06:37,470 --> 00:06:39,310 And one day it's going to open again. 141 00:06:39,870 --> 00:06:43,950 Supernaturally, I believe that God is going to fulfill that prophecy. 142 00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,030 You know the Mount of Olive? 143 00:06:46,190 --> 00:06:47,310 It's olives. 144 00:06:47,390 --> 00:06:51,550 It sits between the city of man and the promise of God. 145 00:06:52,109 --> 00:06:53,870 I'm speaking spiritually right now. 146 00:06:54,350 --> 00:06:59,310 It truly sits between earthly power and heavenly authority. 147 00:06:59,390 --> 00:07:01,230 I mean, this is where they collide. 148 00:07:01,710 --> 00:07:05,230 It sits between rejection and return. 149 00:07:05,870 --> 00:07:10,430 I mean, it's simply undeniable that Jesus chose this mountain because 150 00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:12,270 it represents the in between. 151 00:07:12,750 --> 00:07:15,710 And many of us, we actually, we live there. 152 00:07:16,030 --> 00:07:19,469 We live in the in between, between promise and fulfillment, 153 00:07:19,550 --> 00:07:23,670 between calling and cost, paying the cause, between pressure 154 00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:24,510 and oil. 155 00:07:24,750 --> 00:07:25,870 I mean, we live there. 156 00:07:25,870 --> 00:07:29,310 And so there's a question that this mountain is asking you. 157 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:30,160 There's. 158 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,440 There's an important question for your life. 159 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,440 And Jesus, he stood here knowing that he was going to be betrayed, 160 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,560 that he was actually going to be beaten, that he was going to be 161 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,080 crucified, and still he stayed faithful. 162 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,640 I'm so thankful that he was faithful. 163 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,120 The Mount of Olives, it does not ask. 164 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,040 Do you believe it asked? 165 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,200 Will you remain? 166 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,000 Will you remain when it's crushing? 167 00:07:55,340 --> 00:07:57,420 Will you remain when it's confusing? 168 00:07:57,660 --> 00:08:01,660 Will you remain when the world is absolutely shaking all around 169 00:08:01,660 --> 00:08:06,380 you because oil only flows when olives are actually pressed? 170 00:08:06,380 --> 00:08:06,940 Come on. 171 00:08:06,940 --> 00:08:10,380 We are in a season of great pressing right now. 172 00:08:10,460 --> 00:08:13,180 But the oil of the anointing is going to be flow. 173 00:08:13,180 --> 00:08:13,540 Come on. 174 00:08:13,540 --> 00:08:17,420 He's going to flow from this mountain, Jesus ascended to heaven, 175 00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:19,660 to this mountain, Jesus will return. 176 00:08:20,060 --> 00:08:23,420 And until that day, we are called to live awake. 177 00:08:23,580 --> 00:08:26,820 We're called to live faithful, and we're called to live full of 178 00:08:26,820 --> 00:08:27,400 void oil. 179 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:27,960 Come on. 180 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,640 This reminds us history. 181 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,760 It's not random. 182 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,760 Suffering is not wasted. 183 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,160 And Jesus is not finished. 184 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,240 And if he was faithful here, he will be faithful again. 185 00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:43,920 The king is coming back, and his feet will touch this mountain 186 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:44,680 once more. 187 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:45,720 Come on. 188 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:46,760 Do you believe that? 189 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,680 I'm getting so excited just even thinking about this. 190 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,760 Here's what I want you to do. 191 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,400 I want you in the. 192 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,280 In this, this moment of decision to say, I'm going all the 193 00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:58,560 way. 194 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:02,400 I mean, this represents a decision that Christ made to say, 195 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,120 hey, while you were yet a sinner, I'm going to put my love 196 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:05,840 on the line. 197 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,440 And I'm Going all the way. 198 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,960 And because he went all the way, we can go all the way as well. 199 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,040 All the way to what? 200 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,520 All the way to our cross. 201 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,040 Dying to self dying to our selfishness and our own desires. 202 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:18,960 But guess what? 203 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,280 Those who share in his death also share in his resurrection. 204 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:23,980 Come on. 205 00:09:23,980 --> 00:09:28,590 And, and as he returns, so shall we ascend with him. 206 00:09:28,590 --> 00:09:30,030 So I want to pray right now. 207 00:09:30,110 --> 00:09:30,710 Come on. 208 00:09:30,710 --> 00:09:34,230 I just feel holy anticipation for what God is doing even through 209 00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:35,870 this message right now. 210 00:09:35,950 --> 00:09:39,990 Heavenly Father, I thank you for each and every one Lord that 211 00:09:39,990 --> 00:09:43,950 as they've received your word Lord, that the prophecies will be 212 00:09:43,950 --> 00:09:46,990 fulfilled and nothing was in in vain. 213 00:09:47,070 --> 00:09:50,790 And God, I thank you for the crushing of our lives that reveals 214 00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:55,110 the oil that begins to pour that causes us to break through every 215 00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:59,730 obstacle barrier, Lord, to go all the way through what you've destined 216 00:09:59,730 --> 00:10:01,130 for each and every one of us. 217 00:10:01,290 --> 00:10:04,170 And Father, we thank you that the time is drawing near. 218 00:10:04,250 --> 00:10:09,130 And so with anticipation God, we say that we will be your vessels 219 00:10:09,210 --> 00:10:13,410 to fulfill the great commission until all the world has 220 00:10:13,410 --> 00:10:16,090 heard in Jesus name, Amen. 221 00:10:16,170 --> 00:10:16,730 Amen. 222 00:10:18,170 --> 00:10:18,610 Amen. 223 00:10:18,610 --> 00:10:18,970 Amen. 224 00:10:18,970 --> 00:10:19,330 Amen. 225 00:10:19,330 --> 00:10:19,690 Amen. 226 00:10:19,690 --> 00:10:20,170 Amen. 227 00:10:21,450 --> 00:10:24,570 Yes Lord, we thank you God that we will remain. 228 00:10:25,790 --> 00:10:28,830 How many people are determined to remain in Jesus? 229 00:10:32,430 --> 00:10:35,230 We're talking about crushing and we're talking about pressing. 230 00:10:35,230 --> 00:10:37,550 And I know that it's not a popular message. 231 00:10:37,550 --> 00:10:41,750 I would love to get up here and tell you that life is good, that 232 00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:45,510 it's the Barbie movie, that we're just, you know, plastic feet 233 00:10:45,510 --> 00:10:45,870 and. 234 00:10:45,870 --> 00:10:48,550 Yes, and it's great and life is awesome. 235 00:10:48,550 --> 00:10:51,310 Or the Lego Movie was that is everything is awesome. 236 00:10:52,210 --> 00:10:54,290 Everything is great when you're part of a team. 237 00:10:55,330 --> 00:10:55,730 What? 238 00:10:56,930 --> 00:10:58,210 It's not like that. 239 00:11:00,050 --> 00:11:03,570 But it really is a life, you know, you are. 240 00:11:03,650 --> 00:11:06,050 Guess what, you're gonna suffer. 241 00:11:06,530 --> 00:11:10,850 And guess what, if you've been to Walmart, you've suffered 55 times 242 00:11:10,930 --> 00:11:14,210 before you've made it to the checkout counter. 243 00:11:15,090 --> 00:11:16,290 No hate, no shade. 244 00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:18,540 I love a good Walmart. 245 00:11:18,540 --> 00:11:22,980 We don't have them in the city, but we're talking about crushing 246 00:11:22,980 --> 00:11:26,460 and we're talking about pressing and there's so many things 247 00:11:26,460 --> 00:11:29,100 that in life, you know, nothing is gonna happen. 248 00:11:29,180 --> 00:11:32,300 Nothing good happens in life without a little pressure. 249 00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:37,540 I mean the reason why victory is victory is because you went through 250 00:11:37,540 --> 00:11:37,860 something. 251 00:11:37,860 --> 00:11:42,900 I used to love going to like anniversary parties and seeing the 252 00:11:42,900 --> 00:11:44,220 people, you know, they give their. 253 00:11:44,220 --> 00:11:47,260 And by the way, happy anniversary to my in laws. 254 00:11:48,950 --> 00:11:50,150 I didn't even think of that. 255 00:11:51,270 --> 00:11:54,150 Come on, somebody love you back. 256 00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:57,110 Don't be doing nothing weird or nothing. 257 00:11:58,550 --> 00:11:59,390 Keep it chill. 258 00:11:59,390 --> 00:12:00,150 Keep it chill. 259 00:12:02,550 --> 00:12:06,070 But you know, I used to love going to different anniversary parties 260 00:12:06,070 --> 00:12:09,390 through, you know, our family and church and all those things. 261 00:12:09,390 --> 00:12:13,030 And, you know, you just see people crying cause they're cutting 262 00:12:13,030 --> 00:12:14,790 the cake and then you get married. 263 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,320 And I used to think I'm a little hillbilly. 264 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:22,920 Used to. 265 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,440 I used to think that when they were crying, cutting the cake, it's 266 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:28,840 because they loved each other. 267 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,840 But now I know that they're crying when they're cutting the anniversary 268 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,720 cake because of all the perseverance, all the. 269 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,640 It's because no one gave up. 270 00:12:46,110 --> 00:12:49,870 Because nothing good, nothing that means anything, has ever come 271 00:12:49,870 --> 00:12:50,510 easy. 272 00:12:50,830 --> 00:12:53,310 You don't celebrate the wins that are given to you. 273 00:12:53,310 --> 00:12:57,230 You celebrate the things that crushed you, that you survived. 274 00:12:57,230 --> 00:12:59,310 And so here's the thing, young people. 275 00:12:59,390 --> 00:13:00,790 Where's my young people at? 276 00:13:00,790 --> 00:13:01,470 Gen Z? 277 00:13:02,270 --> 00:13:04,150 Gen Alpha is. 278 00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:06,510 It's not always the Lego Movie. 279 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,240 Now with Jesus, we're more than a conqueror. 280 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,240 The fight is fixed. 281 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,280 You win, baby. 282 00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:19,160 However, the thing is, is that you are going to go through suffering 283 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,040 and going back to marriage. 284 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,040 You would never pledge your life to somebody that you knew was 285 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,640 going to stab you in the back 55 times over the course of 30 years 286 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,610 or say that one little thing that just takes your blood pressure. 287 00:13:36,170 --> 00:13:37,610 Mine is calm down. 288 00:13:37,770 --> 00:13:38,170 What? 289 00:13:41,370 --> 00:13:45,770 Who has ever calmed down when somebody has asked them to calm down? 290 00:13:48,010 --> 00:13:49,770 If you say calm down, it's. 291 00:13:49,930 --> 00:13:51,130 Take it up a notch. 292 00:13:52,570 --> 00:13:54,410 I still need some redeeming here. 293 00:13:55,690 --> 00:14:00,250 But nothing in life has come that we've celebrated that's meant 294 00:14:00,250 --> 00:14:03,435 anything to us without pressure, without crushing. 295 00:14:03,435 --> 00:14:03,580 And. 296 00:14:04,290 --> 00:14:05,530 And I wish it was the case. 297 00:14:05,530 --> 00:14:09,090 I wish that, you know, we could have this story where we accept 298 00:14:09,090 --> 00:14:12,650 Jesus and then all of our trials, all of our troubles, all 299 00:14:12,650 --> 00:14:15,330 the things that annoy us, all of our road rage. 300 00:14:18,210 --> 00:14:20,530 Okay, maybe you guys are more sanctified than me. 301 00:14:23,010 --> 00:14:25,370 I wish I could tell you it just all goes away. 302 00:14:25,370 --> 00:14:25,890 And it. 303 00:14:25,890 --> 00:14:28,770 And you're just submitted to your boss, you're submitted to your 304 00:14:28,770 --> 00:14:30,370 pastor, you're submitted to your spouse. 305 00:14:30,370 --> 00:14:32,810 You, you love your kids, you love your job, and everything is 306 00:14:32,810 --> 00:14:42,490 awesome, but things come by crushing. 307 00:14:44,570 --> 00:14:48,890 And so we see in the Bible many references to oil and to wine. 308 00:14:48,890 --> 00:14:53,770 And I'm beginning to think about that and how both outcomes 309 00:14:53,770 --> 00:14:55,690 respond to being crushed. 310 00:14:56,660 --> 00:14:58,980 And so we're gonna talk just a little bit about that. 311 00:14:59,060 --> 00:15:04,100 Oil and wine, back in biblical times, they were used for medicinal 312 00:15:04,180 --> 00:15:04,660 treatments. 313 00:15:04,660 --> 00:15:06,900 You see this in the story of the Good Samaritan. 314 00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:11,100 It talks about how the Good Samaritan left oil and wine and medicine 315 00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:12,340 and things for their wounds. 316 00:15:12,340 --> 00:15:15,700 And it's just this beautiful picture of the gospel. 317 00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:17,700 And you can read more about that on your own. 318 00:15:17,700 --> 00:15:21,300 But number one, oil comes instantly. 319 00:15:23,230 --> 00:15:26,630 That's why the anointing is so powerful, because it'll hit you out 320 00:15:26,630 --> 00:15:27,390 of nowhere. 321 00:15:28,910 --> 00:15:32,670 Oil already exists within the olives. 322 00:15:32,670 --> 00:15:35,470 So if you didn't know, maybe you're young and you don't know. 323 00:15:36,110 --> 00:15:47,070 Olives make olive oil, And buffalo wings are not made of buffalo, 324 00:15:54,500 --> 00:16:00,980 But the oil already exists within the olive oil is pressed. 325 00:16:01,780 --> 00:16:05,940 The olive is pressed, and the oil begins coming out immediately. 326 00:16:06,500 --> 00:16:08,580 Oil represents the anointing. 327 00:16:08,740 --> 00:16:10,740 It represents the Holy Spirit. 328 00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:15,810 It represents God choosing and empowering someone for the work of 329 00:16:15,810 --> 00:16:16,570 the ministry. 330 00:16:17,610 --> 00:16:24,250 In Samuel 16:1st Samuel 16:13 Samuel, the prophet anoints David 331 00:16:24,250 --> 00:16:24,930 instantly. 332 00:16:24,930 --> 00:16:25,890 He was anointed. 333 00:16:25,890 --> 00:16:29,130 It didn't mean that he was ready to step into the full office. 334 00:16:29,370 --> 00:16:32,170 But the anointing happens instantly. 335 00:16:33,290 --> 00:16:37,690 You cannot run from anointing. 336 00:16:39,290 --> 00:16:43,090 You could try, but it's coming for you. 337 00:16:43,970 --> 00:16:46,930 It's coming for you because God's called and anointed you for 338 00:16:46,930 --> 00:16:49,090 something for such a time as this. 339 00:16:49,170 --> 00:16:50,210 And here's the thing. 340 00:16:50,370 --> 00:16:52,610 God can anoint you in a moment. 341 00:16:53,410 --> 00:16:57,090 And if you think, well, I'm living a life, my life is just in 342 00:16:57,090 --> 00:16:59,010 weakness right now, Julie, I don't know. 343 00:16:59,010 --> 00:17:00,050 I don't feel ready. 344 00:17:00,050 --> 00:17:03,170 I'm telling you, God can anoint you in a moment. 345 00:17:03,170 --> 00:17:05,970 He can empower you at your weakest moment. 346 00:17:08,260 --> 00:17:11,860 He chooses whomever he wants, and he anoints for service. 347 00:17:12,180 --> 00:17:15,860 He anoints in prayer, and he anoints in encounters with God. 348 00:17:15,860 --> 00:17:18,980 That's why we open up the altars and we say, come and experience 349 00:17:19,380 --> 00:17:19,860 God. 350 00:17:20,020 --> 00:17:23,140 Because you never know when the anointing is going to hit you 351 00:17:23,140 --> 00:17:24,020 out of nowhere. 352 00:17:28,980 --> 00:17:29,780 Number two. 353 00:17:30,740 --> 00:17:33,260 So that's oil, but wine. 354 00:17:33,340 --> 00:17:36,300 That also happens through crushing and pressing. 355 00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:37,100 And here's the thing. 356 00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:40,540 Oil is instant, but wine takes time. 357 00:17:41,020 --> 00:17:42,860 It's the process of God. 358 00:17:43,260 --> 00:17:48,060 Fermentation happens over the course of months, years, and decades. 359 00:17:48,139 --> 00:17:51,060 And wine doesn't already exist in the grape. 360 00:17:51,060 --> 00:17:52,620 It has to be crushed. 361 00:17:52,780 --> 00:17:54,420 And then it must be fermented. 362 00:17:54,420 --> 00:17:58,060 And it must go through a period of transformation over time. 363 00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:02,420 Wine represents joy, covenant, maturity, character. 364 00:18:05,060 --> 00:18:06,980 And we see this in the miracle. 365 00:18:06,980 --> 00:18:10,900 How many know about Jesus when he turns the water into wine? 366 00:18:11,860 --> 00:18:17,300 One of the beautiful stories I love about that particular miracle 367 00:18:17,620 --> 00:18:19,780 is the miracle of acceleration. 368 00:18:20,420 --> 00:18:22,660 He can accelerate your maturity. 369 00:18:22,740 --> 00:18:25,960 He can accelerate your decision to have joy. 370 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:26,840 Did you hear me? 371 00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:31,800 He can accelerate your maturity with submission. 372 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,360 He can accelerate your process with immediate obedience. 373 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,400 So you can ask God to mature You. 374 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,080 But the thing about process is it takes participation. 375 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,910 How many want to participate in the process of God in our life? 376 00:18:53,990 --> 00:18:56,790 You don't get to choose the timing of the miracle. 377 00:18:57,510 --> 00:19:01,990 Miracles need immediate obedience to be activated in your 378 00:19:01,990 --> 00:19:02,310 life. 379 00:19:05,510 --> 00:19:07,110 Here's the thing about the story. 380 00:19:07,830 --> 00:19:11,190 When it talks about the miracle turning water into wine, 381 00:19:11,510 --> 00:19:15,870 did the miracle happen in the vat or did the miracle happen in 382 00:19:15,870 --> 00:19:16,270 the cup? 383 00:19:16,270 --> 00:19:16,950 We don't know. 384 00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:21,190 But either way, the miracle would have been missed without the 385 00:19:21,190 --> 00:19:23,030 servant's immediate obedience. 386 00:19:25,030 --> 00:19:27,230 So when you're asking, lord, what do I do? 387 00:19:27,230 --> 00:19:30,230 My answer is, do whatever he tells you to do. 388 00:19:30,710 --> 00:19:32,670 Do whatever he tells you to do. 389 00:19:32,670 --> 00:19:37,110 As soon as he tells you to do it, do whatever he asks you to do 390 00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:40,230 with full participation, obedience, and submission. 391 00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:41,830 And say, I'm willing. 392 00:19:41,990 --> 00:19:44,950 I'm obedient, and I'm okay with suffering. 393 00:19:45,190 --> 00:19:47,110 I'm okay with being crushed. 394 00:19:47,190 --> 00:19:49,510 I'm okay with being inconvenienced. 395 00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:50,780 Lord, use me. 396 00:19:50,780 --> 00:19:52,460 However long it takes. 397 00:19:56,860 --> 00:19:58,300 Oil is instant. 398 00:19:58,940 --> 00:20:00,620 The anointing is instant. 399 00:20:00,620 --> 00:20:04,180 If you've ever felt it in a prayer service or you've ever felt 400 00:20:04,180 --> 00:20:07,540 it in a moment of impartation, the anointing is free. 401 00:20:07,540 --> 00:20:09,180 It doesn't cost you anything. 402 00:20:09,340 --> 00:20:12,460 It's imparted and it's accepted immediately. 403 00:20:15,270 --> 00:20:19,750 But process wine has developed slowly. 404 00:20:21,510 --> 00:20:30,190 Sometimes we want the oil of a calling, but not the patience of 405 00:20:30,190 --> 00:20:30,950 winemaking. 406 00:20:36,630 --> 00:20:43,200 The olive and the grape are both crushed, but the oil is instant 407 00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:44,800 and the wine is a process. 408 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:56,040 So if you're in a season of crushing right now, we need to take 409 00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:04,880 a few moments to discern, am I releasing oil, or is this a process 410 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:06,880 of making wine? 411 00:21:13,230 --> 00:21:21,910 God's producing something very valuable, very special in you, but 412 00:21:21,910 --> 00:21:24,750 you have to respond immediately. 413 00:21:27,070 --> 00:21:29,070 How many are going through something right now? 414 00:21:30,910 --> 00:21:31,270 Just. 415 00:21:31,270 --> 00:21:32,430 Just going through it? 416 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,360 Go ahead and just stand up. 417 00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:35,400 You're just going through it. 418 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,440 You don't have to come forward. 419 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:37,120 Just stand up. 420 00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:38,040 You're going through it. 421 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:44,600 Financial, emotional, relational, direction. 422 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:46,520 Divorce. 423 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:53,880 Maybe you're struggling with school, maybe you're struggling with 424 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,640 interpersonal relationships in your life, family. 425 00:21:58,450 --> 00:21:59,570 Just going through it. 426 00:22:11,010 --> 00:22:16,330 The thing I love about going through something with Jesus is that 427 00:22:16,330 --> 00:22:17,890 you're not going through it alone. 428 00:22:20,530 --> 00:22:24,980 And I love that story about the Good Samaritan, that parable 429 00:22:24,980 --> 00:22:25,660 he tells. 430 00:22:25,660 --> 00:22:26,580 It's humanity. 431 00:22:26,580 --> 00:22:29,660 We are broken and beaten and bleeding on a road. 432 00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:39,660 And Jesus comes with oil and wine, with anointing and commission, 433 00:22:40,940 --> 00:22:43,820 with miracle and process. 434 00:22:45,900 --> 00:22:50,800 And he meets us in our most desperate place, feeble time, not 435 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,600 able to do anything in return but to receive. 436 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,560 And so tonight, today, wherever you're watching wherever 437 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,320 you're at, if you say, you know what? 438 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,680 I'm going through something just out of an act of immediate obedience, 439 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,080 just like we're doing in the room, just stand up. 440 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,440 Stand up in your living room. 441 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:10,480 Stand up. 442 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,160 If you're, you know, on the subway, stand up. 443 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,420 If you're just going through at your job, just stand up. 444 00:23:25,460 --> 00:23:34,980 Because at your weakest point, the crushing can produce an oil that 445 00:23:35,060 --> 00:23:36,900 only he can use. 446 00:23:39,380 --> 00:23:41,220 Who is God calling tonight? 447 00:23:42,710 --> 00:23:45,830 Who is God calling right now? 448 00:23:53,990 --> 00:24:00,230 The crushing, Man. 449 00:24:00,230 --> 00:24:03,310 When you're going through it in your marriage, it can feel like 450 00:24:03,310 --> 00:24:04,630 you are being crushed. 451 00:24:05,350 --> 00:24:08,260 But at your weakest moment, the anointing can. 452 00:24:08,410 --> 00:24:09,290 Can be released. 453 00:24:10,570 --> 00:24:16,170 I've seen people through pastoring many years at their weakest 454 00:24:16,250 --> 00:24:16,730 moment. 455 00:24:17,210 --> 00:24:21,210 We've seen them in funerals, we've seen them in hospital rooms. 456 00:24:21,210 --> 00:24:25,130 And I can't tell you how many times we've been in a hot around 457 00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,570 a hospital bed and we start singing about the blood of Jesus 458 00:24:29,570 --> 00:24:32,570 and the anointing will just start breaking out. 459 00:24:32,570 --> 00:24:36,500 In a hospital room, the anointing will start breaking out. 460 00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:40,780 At a funeral, the anointing will start breaking out after somebody's 461 00:24:40,780 --> 00:24:41,780 husband just left. 462 00:24:41,860 --> 00:24:46,140 The anointing just begins to break out because when the olive 463 00:24:46,140 --> 00:24:48,820 is being crushed, the oil is immediate. 464 00:24:50,580 --> 00:24:51,700 He's got you. 465 00:24:52,820 --> 00:24:55,380 What is he trying to bring out of you? 466 00:24:57,460 --> 00:24:59,820 And then we've got people who are in process. 467 00:25:00,940 --> 00:25:06,980 Maybe you've just been sitting in the same season for so long, and 468 00:25:06,980 --> 00:25:12,380 the Lord would say, let me produce something sweet in you. 469 00:25:13,420 --> 00:25:15,100 Oh, yes, Lord. 470 00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:18,260 Some of you have been fighting, fighting, fighting. 471 00:25:18,260 --> 00:25:21,100 I remember when I gave birth to Everly. 472 00:25:21,180 --> 00:25:22,500 I did a natural birth. 473 00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:24,700 Whoa, mama, it was wild. 474 00:25:28,070 --> 00:25:32,150 Don't recommend 0 out of 10 stars. 475 00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:38,430 And I remember the midwife, she was telling me, julie, you're 476 00:25:38,430 --> 00:25:42,230 fighting it, but it's going to happen. 477 00:25:44,070 --> 00:25:50,470 And as soon as you release to the process, it will go so much faster. 478 00:25:51,910 --> 00:25:55,870 And I feel like I'm here as a doula, as a midwife in your life 479 00:25:55,870 --> 00:25:58,470 of somebody who you're going through a process. 480 00:25:58,550 --> 00:26:00,950 And I just saying, surrender to God. 481 00:26:01,430 --> 00:26:02,470 Let him lead. 482 00:26:02,710 --> 00:26:04,550 Get your hands off of it. 483 00:26:04,790 --> 00:26:10,070 Surrender to the process and see what he can ferment in this situation. 484 00:26:14,390 --> 00:26:18,120 If you're under pressure, here's a couple of things that I 485 00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:20,560 need to remind you as your pastor today. 486 00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:22,720 It is not punishment. 487 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,440 Some of you have bought the lie that you are being punished by 488 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:30,880 God. 489 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,120 No, you have made decisions, maybe that had consequences in the 490 00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:39,840 natural, but you are not being punished by God. 491 00:26:42,970 --> 00:26:47,210 Here's another Thing that I need to remind you is that just because 492 00:26:47,530 --> 00:26:50,890 you're under pressure doesn't mean you're not in process. 493 00:26:56,170 --> 00:26:57,530 I need you to say this. 494 00:26:58,330 --> 00:27:02,170 It is not punishment, it's process. 495 00:27:03,530 --> 00:27:06,650 It's not punishment, it's process. 496 00:27:08,420 --> 00:27:09,060 Here's the thing. 497 00:27:09,060 --> 00:27:13,940 Here's a couple of people in the Bible, because a lot of times 498 00:27:13,940 --> 00:27:14,500 we can. 499 00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:15,140 So now that. 500 00:27:15,140 --> 00:27:19,860 That's for my process people, but for my people who maybe experience 501 00:27:20,260 --> 00:27:24,700 this instant, you know, power of anointing, maybe at the men's 502 00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:27,820 conference, you felt a call to the ministry, or maybe you were at 503 00:27:27,820 --> 00:27:28,340 a youth. 504 00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:31,140 A youth night and you felt a call to the ministry. 505 00:27:31,140 --> 00:27:33,930 Or maybe you're sitting in your seat right now and you're like, 506 00:27:33,930 --> 00:27:36,290 God, I know you're trying to do something in me. 507 00:27:36,290 --> 00:27:38,010 Is this helping somebody tonight? 508 00:27:40,090 --> 00:27:41,290 But here's the thing. 509 00:27:42,810 --> 00:27:46,650 Just because you're anointed, but God, I was. 510 00:27:46,650 --> 00:27:47,850 You called me to. 511 00:27:47,850 --> 00:27:48,929 To teach and preach. 512 00:27:48,929 --> 00:27:51,970 And I've been sitting in this church for a few years, and I haven't 513 00:27:51,970 --> 00:27:53,250 been on the platform yet. 514 00:27:53,250 --> 00:27:55,610 Listen, anointed doesn't mean ready. 515 00:27:56,890 --> 00:27:59,110 I want to read to you at just a few people people. 516 00:27:59,110 --> 00:28:00,950 Joseph, 13 years. 517 00:28:01,910 --> 00:28:03,350 Moses, 40 years. 518 00:28:03,910 --> 00:28:05,590 David, 15 years. 519 00:28:05,990 --> 00:28:07,310 Joshua, 40 years. 520 00:28:07,310 --> 00:28:08,790 Jesus, 30 years. 521 00:28:14,310 --> 00:28:18,630 Just because there's a waiting after the anointing does not mean 522 00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:20,790 that God isn't processing you. 523 00:28:20,790 --> 00:28:21,910 It's not punishment. 524 00:28:21,910 --> 00:28:22,630 It's process. 525 00:28:23,910 --> 00:28:25,020 They don't see me. 526 00:28:25,020 --> 00:28:26,180 They don't see my anointing. 527 00:28:26,180 --> 00:28:27,020 No, no, no, no, no. 528 00:28:27,020 --> 00:28:28,060 This isn't punishment. 529 00:28:28,060 --> 00:28:28,780 It's process. 530 00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:45,260 Some of us are more focused on the wounds than the process. 531 00:28:46,380 --> 00:28:49,500 We're more focused on the crushing than the anointing. 532 00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:52,930 We're more focused on the suffering than what God is going 533 00:28:52,930 --> 00:28:55,130 to produce on the other side of this. 534 00:28:55,130 --> 00:28:58,650 And today, I would just encourage you to lift up your hands 535 00:28:58,650 --> 00:29:00,250 and just say, lord, I surrender. 536 00:29:00,250 --> 00:29:01,410 I'm done fighting. 537 00:29:01,490 --> 00:29:03,170 I'm done fighting the anointing. 538 00:29:03,170 --> 00:29:04,610 I'm done fighting the process. 539 00:29:04,850 --> 00:29:06,210 I'm ready to surrender. 540 00:29:06,210 --> 00:29:07,970 Fully, fully, fully. 541 00:29:17,340 --> 00:29:21,260 In Luke 10:34 with the good Samaritan, it said that he sent him 542 00:29:21,260 --> 00:29:25,340 and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine. 543 00:29:29,420 --> 00:29:34,780 The crushing is not pointless, Jesus. 544 00:29:35,020 --> 00:29:35,420 Time. 545 00:29:36,540 --> 00:29:41,380 Being crushed, persecuted, accused, was not pointless. 546 00:29:41,380 --> 00:29:43,030 It was forced our redemption. 547 00:29:45,190 --> 00:29:50,190 Second Corinthians 4, 8, 10, it says, we are afflicted in every 548 00:29:50,190 --> 00:29:51,750 way, but not crushed. 549 00:29:51,990 --> 00:29:54,550 Perplexed, but not driven to despair. 550 00:29:54,870 --> 00:29:56,870 Persecuted, but not forsaken. 551 00:29:57,350 --> 00:29:59,590 Struck down, but not destroyed. 552 00:29:59,590 --> 00:30:04,630 Always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life 553 00:30:04,710 --> 00:30:08,250 of Jesus also may be manifested in our bodies. 554 00:30:08,250 --> 00:30:11,730 You have the life of Jesus in your body. 555 00:30:11,730 --> 00:30:16,090 If you're suffering in sickness, you have the life of Jesus 556 00:30:16,170 --> 00:30:17,050 in your body. 557 00:30:17,370 --> 00:30:21,130 If you're suffering in your mind, you have the life of Jesus 558 00:30:21,530 --> 00:30:22,410 in your body. 559 00:30:22,490 --> 00:30:27,250 Stand to your feet and receive the healing and the anointing that 560 00:30:27,250 --> 00:30:28,330 he has for you. 561 00:30:30,570 --> 00:30:35,230 You might be afflicted by infidelity, but you're anointed for 562 00:30:35,230 --> 00:30:36,350 reconciliation. 563 00:30:36,350 --> 00:30:37,390 Did you hear me? 564 00:30:38,910 --> 00:30:42,870 You might be afflicted by addiction now, but you're going to 565 00:30:42,870 --> 00:30:44,910 be anointed for freedom. 566 00:30:46,190 --> 00:30:50,510 You might be afflicted in your body with fear of death, but you're 567 00:30:50,510 --> 00:30:52,750 anointed for a resurrection. 568 00:30:53,790 --> 00:30:56,190 There's power in the anointing. 569 00:30:56,590 --> 00:30:59,150 There's power in the pressing. 570 00:30:59,470 --> 00:31:01,710 There's power in the cross crushing. 571 00:31:01,950 --> 00:31:04,190 You just have to respond with a yes. 572 00:31:07,310 --> 00:31:11,070 Affliction cannot stop anointing. 573 00:31:13,950 --> 00:31:16,750 Suffering cannot stop anointing. 574 00:31:18,030 --> 00:31:22,670 And so I want you to make up in your mind that on the other side 575 00:31:22,670 --> 00:31:26,030 of this sermon, you are in full surrender. 576 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,440 Stop fighting the pain. 577 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,440 That's what my midwife told me. 578 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,320 You better surrender, girl, because there is a new birth on the 579 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,080 other side. 580 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,040 And so what I would tell you today, if that's you, and you say, 581 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:43,960 man, Julie, I.
