Imagine standing in a room where the air is thick with an indescribable presence, a moment where the divine feels tangible. That was exactly my experience in Cancun, and it serves as a profound reminder of the glory that should accompany every true ministry. While the spectacle can be mesmerizing, our focus must remain on God's transformative work. This episode challenges you to recognize the power of a gospel that goes beyond words, calling us to embrace a faith that is vibrant with miracles and light.

Are you ready to shift your perspective on ministry? We examine the intricate relationship between the Holy Ghost and the glory of God, drawing wisdom from the biblical journey of Moses and the teachings of Paul in the New Testament. By understanding that the glory of the Spirit surpasses that of the law, we emphasize the necessity of maintaining Christ at the heart of our message. Let's explore how not to fall for a faith that is devoid of divine power and instead, embrace a supernatural commitment that empowers us to shine Christ's light into the world.

The journey of spiritual transformation is endless, an eternal progression from one level of glory to another. We explore the profound shift from the old creation to the new, where the glory of God now resides within us. As vessels of divine light, we are called to share this hope with the world, illustrating the boundless nature of God's glory. Join us as we unpack what it means to be conduits of this glory, continuously exploring new depths of divine understanding and letting that light shine through every aspect of our lives.

WEBVTT

00:00:00.402 --> 00:00:02.108
Well, praise the Lord, hallelujah.

00:00:02.108 --> 00:00:08.272
Let's turn to the second chapter of 2 Corinthians, 4th chapter.

00:00:08.272 --> 00:00:17.771
God is having us study the names of the Holy Ghost, and this name is the Spirit of Ministry.

00:00:17.771 --> 00:00:28.390
And what we have seen, as we've looked at it, in the location where that name is mentioned, is the revelation of that name, amen.

00:00:28.390 --> 00:00:32.848
You don't have to go searching all over the Bible, you don't have to go pull up all kinds of references.

00:00:32.848 --> 00:00:38.689
It'll be right there where the name is introduced, there will be the revelation of it, amen.

00:00:38.689 --> 00:00:46.701
And in that revelation, in that place, we find that the ministry of the Holy Ghost is a ministry of glory.

00:00:46.701 --> 00:00:48.304
Amen.

00:00:49.908 --> 00:00:59.070
Bible says, talking about Moses, and when he came down off the mountain and he would be resplendent with the glory of God, amen.

00:00:59.070 --> 00:01:14.700
It says this that if the ministry of condemnation, that is the law that Moses brought down in the form of the written tablets, if the ministry of condemnation, that is the law that Moses brought down in the form of the written tablets, if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious will be the ministry of the Spirit?

00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:19.903
So the ministry of the Spirit is a ministry of glory.

00:01:19.903 --> 00:01:22.811
Everybody say ministry of glory.

00:01:22.811 --> 00:01:49.487
There is not any other kind of ministry, everything, every other kind of ministry you can think, you know, like a ministry of consolation or a ministry of ministering to orphans, widows, any kind of ministry that flows out, is going to be flowing out of this one thing, and that is the ministry of glory.

00:01:49.487 --> 00:01:51.692
It has to contain glory.

00:01:51.692 --> 00:01:57.233
It may be compassionate, but it's going to be gloriously compassionate.

00:01:57.233 --> 00:02:05.572
It may be kind and considerate, but it's going to be gloriously.

00:02:05.572 --> 00:02:10.430
So there has to be the glory component to it or it's not.

00:02:10.430 --> 00:02:10.912
Of God.

00:02:10.912 --> 00:02:21.356
Now I can say that because every evidence of when God shows up, there's glory, amen.

00:02:21.356 --> 00:02:30.091
When he showed up at Sinai, there was great manifestation of glory and the people not only rejected his voice, but they rejected his glory.

00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:39.570
So you know, you can say, well, well, you know, I've never seen that.

00:02:39.570 --> 00:02:41.520
That doesn't mean it's not true.

00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.227
Just because you haven't seen it.

00:02:44.227 --> 00:02:48.685
I mean you haven't seen the dark side of the moon, but it's probably there.

00:02:48.685 --> 00:03:06.961
You know, god just put it in motion in such a way that you never see it here from earth with your natural eye, because the moon makes one rotation a month and it shows us the same side of the same half of the moon all the time.

00:03:06.961 --> 00:03:08.965
That doesn't mean the other half's not there.

00:03:08.965 --> 00:03:14.002
It's not like there's a semi-globe up there and the backside's just gone.

00:03:14.002 --> 00:03:17.129
Amen, it's there, you just can't see it.

00:03:17.129 --> 00:03:20.201
Well, just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there.

00:03:20.201 --> 00:03:21.524
It's like the glory.

00:03:21.524 --> 00:03:24.429
Just because you haven't seen it yet doesn't mean it's not there.

00:03:24.429 --> 00:03:26.412
You just haven't seen its manifestation.

00:03:26.412 --> 00:03:31.247
That means there's some other kind of ministry going on.

00:03:34.876 --> 00:03:37.383
Hallelujah, I'm going to make this point.

00:03:37.383 --> 00:04:01.352
It says in verse 4, we talked about this last time that there are many gods in this age and many ages, and the purpose of these gods and the purpose of these ages are collectively to keep the people in those ages from coming into the knowledge and the light of the gospel of glory.

00:04:01.352 --> 00:04:14.566
If the devil can turn this gospel into something else amen then he will con the people of God into believing less than what they're supposed to believe.

00:04:14.566 --> 00:04:16.531
Amen.

00:04:16.531 --> 00:04:24.228
If you can get people to buy into a gospel that does not have glory, they'll be buying into a gospel that doesn't have miracles.

00:04:24.228 --> 00:04:27.374
They'll be buying into a gospel that doesn't have miracles.

00:04:27.374 --> 00:04:28.560
They'll be buying into a gospel that doesn't have power.

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:36.365
And then they'll pray these stupid prayers like oh God, if it's your will heal this person.

00:04:36.365 --> 00:04:38.331
Well, we know what God's will is concerning healing.

00:04:38.331 --> 00:04:43.026
We don't have to wonder about that.

00:04:43.026 --> 00:04:48.709
We don't have to bump our heads against a wall and try to find the perfect will of God for this.

00:04:48.709 --> 00:04:50.526
We know what God's will is for that.

00:04:50.526 --> 00:04:55.351
You can always pray for healing without contradiction.

00:04:55.351 --> 00:04:57.567
Amen, hallelujah.

00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:03.500
But if you've bought into another gospel, that's not a gospel of glory.

00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:11.927
Listen to what it says in verse 4, whose minds the God of this age have blinded, who do not believe.

00:05:11.927 --> 00:05:17.115
People that don't believe are blinded.

00:05:17.115 --> 00:05:24.050
Lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is in the image of God, should shine on them.

00:05:24.050 --> 00:05:27.540
Amen.

00:05:27.540 --> 00:05:34.127
People don't want the gospel, the light of the gospel of glory, to shine on them.

00:05:34.127 --> 00:05:38.247
They don't want the responsibility, they don't want to deal with it.

00:05:38.247 --> 00:05:44.322
Listen, miracles are inconvenient, unless you happen to need one.

00:05:44.322 --> 00:05:52.759
But in ministry, you know a ministry of miracles and power and revelation and things.

00:05:52.759 --> 00:06:02.026
It's not convenient, it doesn't fit into small, it's not in the box, it's always out of the box.

00:06:02.026 --> 00:06:06.651
You can't put God in whatever box you want.

00:06:06.651 --> 00:06:10.601
He's not going to fit, you know.

00:06:10.601 --> 00:06:14.973
So there's the light of the gospel of glory.

00:06:14.973 --> 00:06:20.172
Is what God wants his gospel to be.

00:06:20.172 --> 00:06:24.446
He wants it to be a gospel of glory, a gospel of light, a gospel of transformation.

00:06:24.446 --> 00:06:32.237
A gospel of light, a gospel of transformation, a gospel of power, gospel of miracles, gospel of signs, wonders, mighty deeds.

00:06:32.237 --> 00:06:33.380
This is what God does.

00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:34.862
God doesn't do normal stuff.

00:06:34.862 --> 00:06:38.288
God's not into normal business.

00:06:38.288 --> 00:06:43.389
You want normal, do it yourself, do it yourself.

00:06:43.389 --> 00:06:47.692
You want over-normal.

00:06:47.692 --> 00:06:48.983
I'm thinking in Spanish.

00:06:48.983 --> 00:06:54.624
The word in Spanish is over-normal or super, abundantly normal.

00:06:54.624 --> 00:06:55.165
You want that.

00:06:55.165 --> 00:06:58.930
God's in that business, amen.

00:06:58.930 --> 00:07:04.526
But you know what God's not in, god's not in the spectacular business.

00:07:04.526 --> 00:07:07.574
That's good.

00:07:07.574 --> 00:07:23.980
You know a lot of times, people, what I've noticed about people is that they like to be around a power ministry, but they only like to be around it for the spectacular and not the supernatural.

00:07:23.980 --> 00:07:30.870
Be around it for the spectacular and not the supernatural, because to be in the supernatural requires responsibility.

00:07:31.930 --> 00:07:33.132
Let me give you an illustration.

00:07:33.132 --> 00:07:34.415
This is a great illustration.

00:07:34.415 --> 00:07:40.177
You want this illustration?

00:07:40.177 --> 00:07:44.259
We've just went through the 4th of July what a month or so ago.

00:07:44.259 --> 00:07:56.249
And if you would have liked to, you could have come and sat in my backyard and fought off the mosquitoes and seen a pretty nice fireworks display that Hudson Oaks puts on Probably the nicest one in Parker County, anyway.

00:07:56.249 --> 00:08:04.127
Or you could go to the garden concerts at the Botanical Gardens, and they put one on over there.

00:08:04.127 --> 00:08:05.466
I mean, they're all over the place, right?

00:08:05.466 --> 00:08:06.543
Pick your, pick your.

00:08:06.543 --> 00:08:09.125
Wherever you want, go see it.

00:08:09.620 --> 00:08:16.093
You can sit there in your lawn chair and enjoy the spectacular effects of the fireworks.

00:08:16.093 --> 00:08:21.617
You go, ooh, oh, wow, you know.

00:08:21.617 --> 00:08:23.233
And you just get you know last 20, 25 minutes.

00:08:23.233 --> 00:08:23.682
You know you're just going.

00:08:23.682 --> 00:08:24.033
Oh, this, wow, you know.

00:08:24.033 --> 00:08:25.012
And just get you know last 20, 25 minutes.

00:08:25.012 --> 00:08:25.362
You know you're just going.

00:08:25.362 --> 00:08:29.812
Oh, wow, you know, and it's, and and it's.

00:08:29.812 --> 00:08:30.855
This isn't a new thing.

00:08:30.855 --> 00:08:32.621
I mean, john Adams said that.

00:08:32.621 --> 00:08:36.010
You know, every 4th of July we should have that kind of a thing.

00:08:36.010 --> 00:08:45.046
We should have these fireworks going off all over the country to celebrate our freedom 200 and some years later, I mean we're still doing it.

00:08:45.046 --> 00:08:47.011
It's spectacular.

00:08:49.221 --> 00:09:19.849
But I want to tell you something the guy that does that, he better not be spectacular, he better be dedicated, he better be responsible, he better be knowledgeable, he better be totally focused on what he's doing or he is going to be dead Because all around him are multiple pounds of dynamite and gunpowder and all kinds of other things that go boom in the night.

00:09:19.849 --> 00:09:29.607
And if he's not plugged in to exactly what he needs to do, he's not up there looking and going.

00:09:29.607 --> 00:09:34.807
Ooh ah, he's down there looking at the buttons, looking at the control panel.

00:09:34.807 --> 00:09:36.125
He's got the thing programmed.

00:09:36.125 --> 00:09:39.929
He's watching how it's doing on the computer simulation.

00:09:39.929 --> 00:09:40.892
He's just in there.

00:09:40.892 --> 00:09:45.128
He could care less what's going up on the sky, he just doesn't want it to go up in his face.

00:09:45.128 --> 00:09:58.187
See, he's not interested in the spectacular, he's interested in what makes the spectacular happen, which is the supernatural.

00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.028
But most people don't make that leap.

00:10:02.028 --> 00:10:04.285
They don't care.

00:10:04.285 --> 00:10:11.865
They don't care how it works, they just want it to work for them.

00:10:11.865 --> 00:10:22.967
More fireworks, more goosebumps, more electric current going up the back of my, more falling out under the spirit Everybody loves that stuff.

00:10:24.831 --> 00:10:35.866
But to do what you've got to do, to be the one that's ministering that, you've got to do a whole lot more than show up and go yay and amen, hallelujah.

00:10:35.866 --> 00:10:44.769
So you can go through the wide gate and get all the spectacular you want.

00:10:44.769 --> 00:10:54.947
But if you want the supernatural flowing in your life and being a conduit for the glory of God, you got to go through the narrow gate.

00:10:54.947 --> 00:10:58.107
And Jesus said there'd be few that find it.

00:10:58.107 --> 00:11:02.500
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:11:02.500 --> 00:11:03.625
Now.

00:11:03.625 --> 00:11:10.870
You never heard the parable of the wide and the narrow gate explained in terms of the ministry of glory, but you've heard it now.

00:11:10.870 --> 00:11:16.488
You know, you always hear that, you always hear.

00:11:16.488 --> 00:11:21.592
Well, you know there's broad is the way and wide is the gate to destruction.

00:11:21.592 --> 00:11:28.245
And you know there goes the dissipation and the drunks and the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:11:29.769 --> 00:11:31.413
What if he's talking about something else?

00:11:31.413 --> 00:11:36.224
What if he's talking about another?

00:11:36.224 --> 00:11:37.687
See, paul said this.

00:11:37.687 --> 00:11:40.754
He said I've only got one gospel to preach.

00:11:40.754 --> 00:11:46.613
I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the gospel of glory.

00:11:46.613 --> 00:11:48.263
I'm not ashamed of this gospel.

00:11:48.263 --> 00:11:53.032
It is the power of God unto salvation, amen.

00:11:53.032 --> 00:11:59.373
And if you catch me preaching another gospel, then you better run as fast as you can because I'm going to be cursed.

00:11:59.373 --> 00:12:05.145
That's how serious God takes this.

00:12:05.145 --> 00:12:06.931
He's only got one gospel.

00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:08.847
This is the gospel he preached to Abraham.

00:12:08.847 --> 00:12:11.505
This is the gospel he preached to Enoch.

00:12:11.505 --> 00:12:13.812
This is the gospel he preached to Noah.

00:12:13.812 --> 00:12:17.951
This is the gospel he preached to Adam in the garden, in the cool of the evening.

00:12:17.951 --> 00:12:24.225
You think, you think God was just going down to the, the, the path in the garden, going.

00:12:24.225 --> 00:12:25.809
Oh, aren't these nice flowers.

00:12:25.809 --> 00:12:32.308
Don't you like what I made for you, adam, you little twit, I mean, you know, don't you just love this?

00:12:32.308 --> 00:12:33.846
Oh, isn't it just so pretty?

00:12:33.846 --> 00:12:35.724
I think I'll make some more tomorrow.

00:12:38.028 --> 00:12:39.352
Really, is that what God talked about?

00:12:39.352 --> 00:12:45.230
God talked about his gospel, his gospel of glory.

00:12:45.230 --> 00:12:48.687
Hallelujah, praise God.

00:12:48.687 --> 00:12:56.173
And all these great men of God read down the book of of, of in Hebrews.

00:12:56.173 --> 00:12:57.101
They met.

00:12:57.101 --> 00:13:03.870
All these great men of God had the gospel preached to them, a gospel of glory, the light of the gospel of glory.

00:13:03.870 --> 00:13:07.450
It's the same light that John talked about in John, chapter 1.

00:13:07.450 --> 00:13:11.969
In him was life, and that life was the light of men.

00:13:11.969 --> 00:13:17.551
Amen, that light is the light of the gospel of glory.

00:13:17.551 --> 00:13:22.610
There is no other gospel, and this is what the Holy Ghost ministers.

00:13:22.610 --> 00:13:29.312
He ministers this glory so that we can be transformed from glory to glory.

00:13:29.312 --> 00:13:36.572
Are we there, hallelujah?

00:13:36.572 --> 00:13:41.567
I just want to make that point that you know.

00:13:41.567 --> 00:13:42.851
Two points really.

00:13:44.642 --> 00:13:55.711
Don't be caught going after the spectacular Spectacular won't do you any good If you want to minister in it and have it flow through you.

00:13:55.711 --> 00:13:57.620
That's what you want to.

00:13:57.620 --> 00:14:07.080
If you want to be a minister of the gospel, you have to be a minister of the glory and that at times is for you is not spectacular.

00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:10.090
You're the guy down there on the workbench making it happen.

00:14:10.090 --> 00:14:16.972
You know, now the people can see the spectacular, but that's not your focus.

00:14:16.972 --> 00:14:21.683
I mean, listen, folks, you'll.

00:14:21.683 --> 00:14:24.951
You, if you, if you do this long enough, you'll be in this situation.

00:14:24.951 --> 00:14:27.407
You know what do you need from God?

00:14:27.407 --> 00:14:28.985
Boom, they get it.

00:14:28.985 --> 00:14:34.211
Next, next, next, next, next.

00:14:34.211 --> 00:14:35.806
Here you are two hours later.

00:14:35.806 --> 00:14:36.427
Next.

00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:44.827
Miracles are just happening all over the place, but you don't get fixated on that, because there's still a whole bunch of people.

00:14:44.827 --> 00:14:48.879
I mean, if you got fixated on that, you get one miracle and the rest of them would just sit there and go.

00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.687
You know, waiting like a dog for his dinner.

00:14:51.687 --> 00:14:52.451
I mean, they'd just go.

00:14:52.451 --> 00:14:54.725
What are you doing?

00:14:54.725 --> 00:15:00.605
You know your job is to move With the flow of the Spirit.

00:15:00.605 --> 00:15:02.863
That's your job.

00:15:02.863 --> 00:15:03.846
Your job isn't to go.

00:15:03.846 --> 00:15:05.942
Oh, that was just wonderful.

00:15:05.942 --> 00:15:08.029
God actually did something.

00:15:08.029 --> 00:15:12.981
Oh my oh, isn't that wonderful.

00:15:12.981 --> 00:15:14.145
God showed up.

00:15:14.145 --> 00:15:26.389
God always shows up if you let Him, but once he shows up, then you better pay attention to what he's doing and not get all enamored with everything that's going on.

00:15:26.389 --> 00:15:33.904
Two years ago, was it two years ago?

00:15:33.904 --> 00:15:35.208
Three years ago, somewhere in there.

00:15:35.309 --> 00:15:45.774
We were in Cancun and I laid hands on the pastor that was hosting the meeting and a power God hit him so hard.

00:15:45.774 --> 00:15:51.325
He was just, he was a short, stubby little guy, you know, and he just lit.

00:15:51.325 --> 00:15:54.989
Power God lifted him up in the air about three feet in the air and just went, boom.

00:15:54.989 --> 00:15:58.408
I thought he's going to bounce off the floor like a basketball.

00:15:58.408 --> 00:16:09.092
I thought he's going to get hurt, you know, he just lifted him up and put him down like that, and when he hit the floor, the tangible glory of God moved into the room.

00:16:09.092 --> 00:16:16.331
I heard it come in like a and you could see it.

00:16:16.331 --> 00:16:18.788
You could see it, you could touch it.

00:16:18.788 --> 00:16:22.250
There was, you know, this doesn't happen all the time.

00:16:22.250 --> 00:16:25.524
There wasn't anything I did about it, you know, it just came in.

00:16:25.524 --> 00:16:32.769
Trust me, folks, I didn't sit there and look at that pastor on the floor.

00:16:32.769 --> 00:16:36.167
Wow, wasn't that cool.

00:16:37.445 --> 00:16:38.568
I went into that cloud.

00:16:38.568 --> 00:16:40.206
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

00:16:40.206 --> 00:16:55.206
I went into that cloud, I started calling people out my God, there was a level of preciseness and seeing what was in people's hearts, you know and that cloud just descended.

00:16:55.206 --> 00:16:59.971
I must have ministered to what half a dozen, dozen people couples.

00:16:59.971 --> 00:17:02.244
Oh God, it was great.

00:17:02.244 --> 00:17:13.147
It was a great time when the glory came down and God enabled me to step into it and minister out of it.

00:17:13.147 --> 00:17:16.775
Praise the Lord.

00:17:16.775 --> 00:17:19.905
But you can't be afraid of that.

00:17:19.905 --> 00:17:41.028
You can't go oh wow, oh wow, or else you're going to turn into folk that go after gold dust meetings and gold teeth meetings and all that kind of stuff and looking for the spectacular without the commitment to move into the supernatural and into the realms of glory.

00:17:41.028 --> 00:17:44.169
Praise God, hallelujah.

00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:47.048
Now Paul says this in verse five.

00:17:47.048 --> 00:17:52.141
He says that we do not.

00:17:52.141 --> 00:18:07.916
Having said all that, he says we do not preach ourselves, but Christ, jesus, the Lord, and ourselves, your bondservants, for Jesus' sake.

00:18:07.916 --> 00:18:14.673
Now I'm just going to say this, just so that you know that this isn't our first rodeo.

00:18:14.673 --> 00:18:24.007
Our ministry name is Arise, shine Ministries.

00:18:24.007 --> 00:18:32.651
The byline or the line underneath the ministry title is Beaming Forth the Light of the Gospel of Glory.

00:18:32.651 --> 00:18:36.631
It's been that way for almost 30 years.

00:18:36.631 --> 00:18:46.260
Beaming forth right out of this verse, right out of verse 4, beaming forth the light of the gospel of glory.

00:18:46.260 --> 00:19:01.288
Every piece of letter, email or anything that I write in a formal way, it is signed your servant for Jesus' sake, right out of verse 5.

00:19:01.288 --> 00:19:10.634
This is who we are.

00:19:10.634 --> 00:19:11.943
This is who you are.

00:19:11.943 --> 00:19:13.990
You've come into this.

00:19:13.990 --> 00:19:16.979
This is what you belong to.

00:19:16.979 --> 00:19:21.791
Amen, glory to God.

00:19:22.819 --> 00:19:31.471
Paul says we do not preach ourselves, but we preach Christ, jesus, the Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants for his sake.

00:19:31.471 --> 00:19:34.385
What does that mean?

00:19:34.385 --> 00:19:36.826
That's where we're going to be the rest of the morning.

00:19:36.826 --> 00:19:38.050
What does that mean?

00:19:38.050 --> 00:19:42.490
Well, first of all, you don't have anything to preach.

00:19:42.490 --> 00:19:49.857
Well, first of all, you don't have anything to preach.

00:19:49.857 --> 00:19:56.189
You know, if it's all about you, that's going to wear thin in no time at all.

00:19:56.189 --> 00:19:57.711
You know you can't go.

00:19:57.711 --> 00:19:59.580
Look, you know, we've done this.

00:19:59.580 --> 00:20:05.731
We have researched every message, every sermon that Paul preached in the New Testament.

00:20:05.731 --> 00:20:07.173
We've researched it, we've done it.

00:20:08.059 --> 00:20:10.689
What was the one common thing that we found out about that?

00:20:10.689 --> 00:20:19.248
That it didn't take him hardly any time at all to get to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, because that's all he had to preach.

00:20:19.248 --> 00:20:24.415
He said oh yeah, he's in Athens, he goes.

00:20:24.415 --> 00:20:26.321
You know, when I was coming up the hill there, I saw an inscription that said oh yeah, he's in Athens, he goes.

00:20:26.321 --> 00:20:26.406
I, you know.

00:20:26.406 --> 00:20:30.310
When I was coming up the hill there, I saw a, a, an inscription that said to the unknown.

00:20:30.310 --> 00:20:32.875
God said well, I've got news for you.

00:20:32.875 --> 00:20:40.505
The one you don't know, I know and I'm going to declare him unto you Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:20:40.565 --> 00:20:41.868
Jesus raised from the dead.

00:20:41.868 --> 00:20:52.151
And it separates the men from the boys, the wise from the foolish, from those that are hungry, from those that are not in a heartbeat.

00:20:52.151 --> 00:21:01.211
Because Paul didn't preach, he didn't give his testimony to the guys in Athens.

00:21:01.211 --> 00:21:02.054
They wouldn't have cared.

00:21:02.054 --> 00:21:08.626
Now he did share a little bit of it before the king, king Agrippa, because he knew about those things.

00:21:08.626 --> 00:21:09.602
He told him.

00:21:09.602 --> 00:21:10.767
He said you know about these things.

00:21:10.767 --> 00:21:12.066
This thing wasn't done in a corner.

00:21:12.066 --> 00:21:17.230
So he shared a little bit of his testimony, but he still got to the resurrection inside of 30 seconds.

00:21:17.230 --> 00:21:25.365
We put a clock on it, hallelujah, see.

00:21:25.385 --> 00:21:26.419
He didn't preach himself.

00:21:26.419 --> 00:21:36.279
I mean, if he was going to preach Anything about himself, he'd say something like this Of all men, I am the chief sinner, I'm the number one sinner.

00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:41.451
I am a mass Murderer of innocent People.

00:21:41.451 --> 00:21:47.172
Amen said I'm the number one sinner.

00:21:47.172 --> 00:21:57.611
He would say this I am not qualified, in any sense of the word, to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, but I am what I am by the grace of God.

00:21:57.611 --> 00:22:12.349
He would say I'm not powerful in speech, I'm not powerful in words, I'm not powerful in words, but I preach Jesus, christ and him crucified.

00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:23.763
A stumbling block to the Jews, foolishness to the Greeks, but to those that are, saved, christ, the power of God, those who believe Christ is the power of God.

00:22:23.763 --> 00:22:29.431
Amen, hallelujah, hallelujah, power of God, amen, hallelujah.

00:22:29.431 --> 00:22:29.730
He said.

00:22:29.730 --> 00:22:44.750
I said I may not, I may not be the most eminent apostle, but I am your apostle.

00:22:44.750 --> 00:22:45.433
And am I not an apostle?

00:22:45.433 --> 00:22:47.019
And have I not seen Jesus, my Lord?

00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:52.859
See, he said I don't have any qualifications, but I've seen Jesus and he qualified me.

00:22:52.859 --> 00:22:59.339
So what are you going to do about that?

00:22:59.339 --> 00:23:06.314
You know, if Christ has called you out, if he has put his seal upon you and his hand upon you and his destiny upon you, what in the world are you going to say about that?

00:23:06.314 --> 00:23:09.848
You might as well just leave it alone if you don't like it.

00:23:09.848 --> 00:23:13.411
Glory to God, hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:23:16.522 --> 00:23:21.212
See the reason that there's not a whole lot of mileage in preaching yourself.

00:23:21.212 --> 00:23:31.981
Now, there's nothing wrong with using some illustrations, there's nothing wrong with using some stories and things that prove a point.

00:23:31.981 --> 00:23:46.967
Because you know, hey, if you've got a ministry and God's done something in your ministry, celebrate it, boast of it, but boast of Him, what he did, because you don't have any life in you I mean in your own.

00:23:46.967 --> 00:23:56.410
Even if you're a great storyteller or a great joke teller, you know there's really.

00:23:56.410 --> 00:24:02.528
It's amusing, it can be entertaining, but there's no life in it.

00:24:02.528 --> 00:24:05.926
You preach Jesus.

00:24:05.926 --> 00:24:09.368
The Holy Ghost can't help but get in it.

00:24:09.368 --> 00:24:13.468
You preach this King of Glory.

00:24:13.468 --> 00:24:23.929
I guarantee you he's going to get in it and he's going to manifest himself in it and he's going to cause himself to be seen and known.

00:24:23.929 --> 00:24:25.973
Hallelujah.

00:24:27.981 --> 00:24:29.046
And it's not about you.

00:24:29.046 --> 00:24:41.289
You know I've said this so many times and I heard this story once about this guy said this.

00:24:41.289 --> 00:24:45.085
He said it's not.

00:24:45.085 --> 00:24:55.592
The greatest thing in ministry is not to have crowds of 100,000, 150,000, 200,000, get the videos, put them on your internet page.

00:24:55.592 --> 00:24:57.720
So that's not the greatest thing in ministry.

00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:05.887
The greatest thing in ministry is if God took you into the darkest places of Africa and you had the greatest revival there that had ever been seen.

00:25:05.887 --> 00:25:10.237
Miracles poured out and you had the greatest revival there that had ever been seen.

00:25:10.237 --> 00:25:21.160
Miracles poured out and then you just walked out of the jungle and nobody ever knew you were there.

00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:26.019
Then it would be all about God and not about you.

00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:27.123
I've told people this so many times.

00:25:27.123 --> 00:25:28.788
I said I don't even care if you remember my name.

00:25:28.788 --> 00:25:34.228
I don't care if you know my name.

00:25:34.228 --> 00:25:37.990
All you know is that I'm the fat gringo that comes every once in a while and preaches.

00:25:37.990 --> 00:25:45.230
I don't care if that's all you can remember, but if you remember this Jesus, then I've done my job.

00:25:45.230 --> 00:25:54.023
It's not about you remembering me, it's about you remembering him and having a relationship with him.

00:25:54.023 --> 00:26:14.846
And if what I do provokes you to that and I disappear and you still know this, jesus, amen, I'll be happy and you'll be better off, because if it's about me, I'm in trouble Because I've got nothing to preach.

00:26:14.846 --> 00:26:16.045
I can't preach myself.

00:26:16.045 --> 00:26:24.386
Glory to God, hallelujah, praise the name of Jesus.

00:26:24.386 --> 00:26:26.079
We do not preach ourselves.

00:26:26.541 --> 00:26:36.386
There were so many in Paul's day that did that, and even some that would preach the gospel of Jesus Christ but yet preach themselves.

00:26:36.386 --> 00:26:39.767
Paul said this.

00:26:39.767 --> 00:26:44.571
He says I'm not going to peddle myself as some others do.

00:26:44.571 --> 00:26:46.685
I'm not going to do that.

00:26:46.685 --> 00:26:49.888
I'm not going to peddle this gospel for money like others do.

00:26:49.888 --> 00:26:51.535
I'm not going to do that.

00:26:51.535 --> 00:26:52.819
I'm not going to peddle this gospel for money like others.

00:26:52.819 --> 00:26:53.821
Do you know.

00:26:54.123 --> 00:26:56.349
You know the type, the car salesman type.

00:26:56.349 --> 00:27:04.013
You know slick, slimy, you know squirm, swarmy.

00:27:04.013 --> 00:27:08.871
There's all kinds of different words, but they've got the technique down.

00:27:08.871 --> 00:27:15.952
They can draw a crowd, they can move the crowd, but there's no glory.

00:27:15.952 --> 00:27:20.761
There's no glory.

00:27:20.761 --> 00:27:22.767
Where's the glory?

00:27:22.767 --> 00:27:25.633
You need to go where the glory is coming out.

00:27:25.633 --> 00:27:29.615
Amen, hallelujah.

00:27:29.655 --> 00:27:34.328
People aren't preaching themselves, but they're preaching Christ Jesus, the Lord.

00:27:34.328 --> 00:27:35.972
Christ Jesus, the King.

00:27:35.972 --> 00:27:40.182
Amen, christ Jesus, the King of glory.

00:27:40.182 --> 00:27:44.365
Hallelujah, the King of glory.

00:27:44.365 --> 00:27:47.087
Who is this King of glory?

00:27:47.087 --> 00:27:52.451
He is the Lord of hosts, the Lord strong and mighty in battle.

00:27:52.451 --> 00:27:53.673
He is the King of glory.

00:27:53.673 --> 00:27:57.096
Lift up your heads, o ye gates, and be them.

00:27:57.096 --> 00:28:02.185
Lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

00:28:02.185 --> 00:28:03.875
Who is this King of glory?

00:28:03.875 --> 00:28:05.705
It's Jesus.

00:28:05.705 --> 00:28:10.005
And who is his minister of glory?

00:28:10.005 --> 00:28:12.269
The Holy Ghost.

00:28:12.269 --> 00:28:17.761
And why do they insist on it being so?

00:28:17.761 --> 00:28:26.751
Because this is not what was, this is what is and shall be forever.

00:28:28.013 --> 00:28:34.529
When Jesus was resurrected out of the grave, he was resurrected into his glory.

00:28:34.529 --> 00:28:47.231
He told the disciples on the road to Emmaus, he said was it not written in the scriptures that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?

00:28:47.231 --> 00:29:09.554
See when Christ raised from the dead, amen, he entered into a glory, a realm of glory that not only did he have before he came to earth, but now he had the capacity to extend it into all that would come into him.

00:29:09.554 --> 00:29:14.349
See, look, can I just make this?

00:29:14.349 --> 00:29:18.904
A couple of simple points so you understand what I'm talking about.

00:29:18.904 --> 00:29:25.027
Amen, moses was up on the mountain and he asked God, god, I want to see you.

00:29:27.842 --> 00:29:31.250
And God said I can't let that happen because you die.

00:29:31.250 --> 00:29:41.374
He said but what I am going to let you do is I'm going to let you see the backside of what Of my glory.

00:29:41.374 --> 00:29:47.550
So, even seeing the backside of his glory, what happened to Moses?

00:29:47.550 --> 00:30:00.275
His face shined like the sun and when he went down the mountain, they had to put the veil on him so that his glory would not kill the people of Israel.

00:30:00.275 --> 00:30:14.854
Because until Jesus came, amen, if you came into the glory, the presence of the glory of God, you were a dead man, hallelujah.

00:30:14.854 --> 00:30:28.127
That's why you know, if the priest, if the sacrifice for sin wasn't accepted by the God and the priest went in to make atonement, he was a dead man Because the glory would kill him.

00:30:28.127 --> 00:30:33.409
Are we understanding what I'm saying here?

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:42.029
In the old covenant, before Jesus, god manifested his glory, but he told the children of Israel you can't come any closer than this.

00:30:42.029 --> 00:30:46.009
He put a boundary around the foot of the mountain.

00:30:46.009 --> 00:30:48.645
He said don't you come, don't let your livestock.

00:30:48.645 --> 00:30:52.385
Nothing comes any closer to this, because this is the boundary.

00:30:52.385 --> 00:30:54.326
If you come any closer, the glory will kill you.

00:30:54.326 --> 00:31:02.109
Oh, should I tell that Jesus?

00:31:02.109 --> 00:31:03.807
I better leave that alone.

00:31:03.807 --> 00:31:05.605
That'll hurt somebody's feelings.

00:31:05.605 --> 00:31:06.888
Praise God.

00:31:06.888 --> 00:31:09.777
That'll hurt somebody's feelings.

00:31:09.777 --> 00:31:10.078
Praise God.

00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:12.626
This glory had limits.

00:31:12.626 --> 00:31:18.946
There were times in the Old Testament.

00:31:18.946 --> 00:31:19.971
Isaiah said it.

00:31:19.971 --> 00:31:23.208
He said in the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord.

00:31:23.208 --> 00:31:25.930
He was high and lifted up His train.

00:31:25.930 --> 00:31:27.799
His glory train filled his temple.

00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:30.528
Amen, now he.

00:31:30.528 --> 00:31:39.402
He could see that glory because he was caught up into a vision and caught up into heaven, and God allowed him to see it and not kill him.

00:31:39.402 --> 00:31:41.944
Are you with me?

00:31:42.685 --> 00:31:56.787
I'm trying to make a point here, but when Jesus came up out of the grave, he came up as the king of glory, did he not?

00:31:56.787 --> 00:31:58.028
Yes, he did.

00:31:58.028 --> 00:32:00.010
He came up as the king of glory.

00:32:00.010 --> 00:32:03.941
Now, did he have glory before he came to earth?

00:32:03.941 --> 00:32:06.605
Certainly, because he said this.

00:32:06.605 --> 00:32:15.823
He said Lord, I'm praying that my glory be in them as it was in me before I came.

00:32:15.823 --> 00:32:21.410
I'm praying that the same glory that I had then is in them.

00:32:21.410 --> 00:32:24.303
So he had a glory before he came.

00:32:24.303 --> 00:32:33.587
When he came up out of the grave he came back into that glory, but he acquired a title King of Kings, lord of Lords.

00:32:33.728 --> 00:32:39.625
One of those kingships is the King of Glory prophesied by David in Psalm 22, 24.

00:32:39.625 --> 00:32:42.432
I know I'm talking fast, but you know it's okay.

00:32:42.432 --> 00:32:44.238
You know you can check all these scriptures out if you want to.

00:32:44.238 --> 00:32:44.573
I'm not making it up.

00:32:44.573 --> 00:32:45.565
You know you can check all these scriptures out if you want to.

00:32:45.565 --> 00:32:47.917
I'm not making it up.

00:32:47.917 --> 00:33:00.814
Hallelujah, he comes up as the king of glory, but unlike the Old Testament, where his glory will kill anyone that gets close to it Amen.

00:33:01.560 --> 00:33:12.753
He has a new revelation of glory, not only a revelation, but a manifestation that in him everybody say in him.

00:33:12.753 --> 00:33:23.644
All that are in him, those that are the ones of many brethren of his, he is now making dispensers and ministers of the glory.

00:33:23.644 --> 00:33:25.489
They don't have to be afraid of it.

00:33:25.489 --> 00:33:27.073
It's going to come.

00:33:27.073 --> 00:33:32.384
It's not going to be upon them like it was in Moses I wish I could preach it's going to be within them.

00:33:32.384 --> 00:33:50.170
Christ, in you the hope of glory, and it's going to be in them, and they are going to be able ministers of the glory, not of the letter that killeth, but of the spirit that giveth life.

00:33:50.170 --> 00:33:54.652
And the spirit that gives life is this spirit of glory.

00:33:54.652 --> 00:33:57.407
Are you understanding what I'm saying?

00:33:57.407 --> 00:34:07.220
There was a a time when the glory could not be manifested because it was deadly.

00:34:07.220 --> 00:34:11.420
But now everybody say now, when the glory could not be manifested because it was deadly.

00:34:11.420 --> 00:34:33.784
But now everybody say now, now Jesus, who is the king of glory, has made it possible for glory to be resident in his body and resident in the individual members of that body, so that as he dwells in you bodily, his glory comes in you and rests in you bodily.

00:34:33.784 --> 00:34:52.438
And he has made you an able minister of that glory and he is the king of it and you are kings under him, kings and priests under him, to minister in this order of Melchizedek, which is an order of glory.

00:34:52.438 --> 00:34:55.811
Are you getting this?

00:34:55.811 --> 00:35:03.755
There was no glory in the order of Aaron, but there's all kinds of glory in the order of Melchizedek.

00:35:03.755 --> 00:35:07.614
Oh, praise God, hallelujah.

00:35:08.344 --> 00:35:09.572
Now watch, I'm going to bring this to a.

00:35:09.572 --> 00:35:10.800
I'm going to wrap this to a.

00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:11.985
Wrap this up, verse six.

00:35:11.985 --> 00:35:16.157
You're going to see what I'm talking about here.

00:35:16.157 --> 00:35:19.255
I don't I don't make this stuff up, it's right here.

00:35:19.255 --> 00:35:23.715
All the revelation you want about the ministry of the spirit is right here.

00:35:23.715 --> 00:35:28.052
You just have to read it slow Several times.

00:35:28.052 --> 00:35:36.596
You just have to read it slow Several times Until you know what I do.

00:35:37.268 --> 00:35:38.105
Can I tell you what I do?

00:35:38.105 --> 00:35:39.289
I'm going to tell you one thing I do.

00:35:39.289 --> 00:35:42.409
You're going to think this is funny.

00:35:42.409 --> 00:35:47.550
I will get See this page right here.

00:35:47.550 --> 00:35:51.606
I'll get that page on my computer screen Only.

00:35:51.606 --> 00:35:59.094
My computer screen is 50 inches wide, so I can sit in my chair and it's about this big.

00:35:59.094 --> 00:36:03.916
I'm looking at it and it's about that big.

00:36:05.166 --> 00:36:08.530
I can see the whole page and I'll just stare at it.

00:36:08.530 --> 00:36:28.655
I'll just stare at it, I'll meditate and I'll stare, stare, meditate, praise God, thank Jesus, stare until God says something.

00:36:28.655 --> 00:36:41.106
Most of the time, most of the time, it works like this he says one thing, and that's the thing I'm going to preach, just one thought.

00:36:41.106 --> 00:36:56.869
He'll say that and I'll stare at it some more and then he'll start to speak to me about that thought Images, words, illustrations, other scriptures he just starts to.

00:36:56.869 --> 00:37:02.206
I'm not writing anything down, I don't write a thing down, I just let him fill me with it.

00:37:02.206 --> 00:37:08.838
My wife can tell you she'll come in and sit, look at it and there it is again.

00:37:08.838 --> 00:37:10.248
There it is again.

00:37:10.248 --> 00:37:11.030
Same page.

00:37:11.030 --> 00:37:11.753
There it is again.

00:37:11.753 --> 00:37:13.550
Whichever changed the page, there it is.

00:37:13.550 --> 00:37:21.612
Well, you can try that if you want to.

00:37:21.612 --> 00:37:24.032
That's free Glory to God.

00:37:25.246 --> 00:37:26.309
Now, this is what God did.

00:37:26.309 --> 00:37:27.253
You want to know what God did?

00:37:27.253 --> 00:37:41.284
Here is the clearest, most pinpoint, precise definition and difference between the old creation and the new creation in the Word of God.

00:37:41.284 --> 00:37:42.746
Everybody, wake up and listen.

00:37:42.746 --> 00:37:54.128
This is the most pinpoint, precise definition of what happened in the old, what happened in the new and the difference between them.

00:37:54.849 --> 00:38:02.067
You ready Verse six, for it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness.

00:38:02.067 --> 00:38:04.010
That's Genesis.

00:38:04.010 --> 00:38:25.746
In the beginning, god created the heavens and the earth and the earth was without form and void and the Spirit hovered over the deeps of the waters and God said Light that is within me be, and light was Now.

00:38:25.746 --> 00:38:28.347
God commanded the light to shine out of darkness.

00:38:28.347 --> 00:38:34.431
That turned into a natural light that is given by the sun, the moon, the stars.

00:38:34.431 --> 00:38:40.914
That light God commanded to shine out of darkness and that was the first creation.

00:38:40.914 --> 00:38:43.757
That was the creation of Adam.

00:38:43.757 --> 00:39:00.103
That was the creation that we see all around us all the time Birds, animals, trees, plants, insects, everything that lives, moves and breathes, stones, rocks, mountains all of this is of the first creation.

00:39:00.465 --> 00:39:11.088
Okay, god commanded the light to shine out of darkness, but now has commanded, has shown in our hearts.

00:39:11.088 --> 00:39:19.298
That's a different light, because you can rip open your rib cage and look in there and there's no natural light inside of you.

00:39:19.298 --> 00:39:26.333
Everything inside of you is darkness because there's no light that gets in.

00:39:26.333 --> 00:39:32.914
Hello, so if you open up your heart and your spirit, there's no natural light in there.

00:39:32.914 --> 00:39:35.132
So we're not talking about that kind of light.

00:39:35.132 --> 00:39:45.092
He called the light to shine out of darkness, but now that same God has shown, or been brilliant, in our hearts.

00:39:45.092 --> 00:39:52.320
Amen, to shine forth the light of the knowledge of the glory of God.

00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:55.210
That's the new creation.

00:39:55.210 --> 00:39:58.237
The new creation is something else altogether.

00:39:58.237 --> 00:40:05.192
In the old creation there were men who walked around with no light in their spirits.

00:40:05.192 --> 00:40:27.860
But God, since Jesus was raised up out of the dead, as the king of glory, has now shown in our hearts so as to beam forth the light of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, hallelujah, this is what I'm talking about.

00:40:29.885 --> 00:40:36.731
People don't want to know about this glory, but if you want to know about it, let me tell you something.

00:40:36.731 --> 00:40:43.777
God has a Colossians kind of experience for you Jesus, in you, the hope of glory.

00:40:43.777 --> 00:40:53.909
He's going to fill you and make you a glory container, a glory distributor, a beacon of glory, a light of the gospel of glory.

00:40:53.909 --> 00:40:56.677
He's going to turn you into a Holy Ghost searchlight, amen.

00:40:56.677 --> 00:41:04.518
And you are going to bring the light of glory into this planet in a way that it has never been introduced before.

00:41:04.518 --> 00:41:16.072
I have a mandate from God to go to the dark places, go to the remote places and preach this gospel of glory to a people who do not know the power of God.

00:41:16.072 --> 00:41:18.978
Hallelujah, I can't get away from it.

00:41:18.978 --> 00:41:23.407
That is my mandate, that is my call, that is my order.

00:41:23.407 --> 00:41:25.188
That is all that I am.

00:41:25.188 --> 00:41:26.768
I quit doing that.

00:41:26.768 --> 00:41:27.668
I'm going to die.

00:41:27.668 --> 00:41:29.349
Amen, because I'm useless.

00:41:29.349 --> 00:41:35.072
I'm useless.

00:41:35.233 --> 00:41:54.862
Last time I was in Costa Rica, we had a conference, and here comes this little lady pastor that ministers in this little hell hole of San Jose and she brought a couple of busloads of people there must have been 15 people out of her little church came to this conference.

00:41:54.862 --> 00:42:01.737
I'm standing up there and it really impacted me.

00:42:01.737 --> 00:42:18.599
I mean, I was really just honored and I hear the Lord say I said I want you to honor her back and on your next trip I want you to go to her church to honor her back.

00:42:18.599 --> 00:42:21.592
I said, yes, lord, I'll do that.

00:42:21.592 --> 00:42:30.942
Now, I wasn't planning to go, but I am now Amen Because I know when God says that.

00:42:30.942 --> 00:42:37.012
But I am now Amen Because I know when God says that when he uses those kinds of words, he says I want you to honor her back.

00:42:37.012 --> 00:42:39.893
There's going to be release of glory on that honor.

00:42:39.893 --> 00:42:41.704
Oh, yes, there will.

00:42:41.704 --> 00:42:47.476
Oh, I feel the Holy Ghost, there's going to be a release of glory in association with that honor.

00:42:48.425 --> 00:42:53.253
Now see, if you don't know about these things, you might say, well, that doesn't fit my agenda.

00:42:53.253 --> 00:42:58.512
Or you know, well, I don't want to go back to that place.

00:42:58.512 --> 00:42:59.516
They never give me an offering.

00:42:59.516 --> 00:43:05.150
Or you know I might get hurt, or they may rob me.

00:43:05.150 --> 00:43:08.911
Or you know just all these things.

00:43:08.911 --> 00:43:20.411
You know what things, what things, what things, what things are you going to lift up in front of the King of glory that he can't deliver you out of?

00:43:20.411 --> 00:43:30.474
Hallelujah, my God, I mean, you know, I can't wait for the glory to be released.

00:43:30.474 --> 00:43:32.954
I think I'm going to go the first, not the first night.

00:43:32.954 --> 00:43:41.835
The first night I get in on an airplane, but the next day I've got, I'm going to go, just so that I can't, so somebody can't agenda me out of it.

00:43:45.391 --> 00:43:51.309
You know, praise the Lord, hallelujah, hallelujah, glory to God.

00:43:51.309 --> 00:43:58.170
God has shown in our hearts that's what Jesus does.

00:43:58.170 --> 00:44:14.554
When he came up out of the grave, he created a kingdom of glory in which, if they will, if they will, come into him See, not everybody that says they're Christians are in him.

00:44:14.554 --> 00:44:18.498
They may be around him, but they're not in him.

00:44:18.498 --> 00:44:20.144
Amen.

00:44:20.144 --> 00:44:27.275
But if they'll come in him and stay, he will fill them with his glory.

00:44:27.275 --> 00:44:37.291
Amen, because this body called Jesus is full of glory, joy unspeakable and full of glory.

00:44:37.291 --> 00:44:40.436
Hallelujah, praise God.

00:44:40.436 --> 00:44:47.938
If you'll get in it, he'll fill you with it and your heart will shine with the knowledge of the glory.

00:44:49.324 --> 00:44:55.974
Now see, people that just let's go back to the illustration, people that just want the spectacular, don't have the knowledge.

00:44:55.974 --> 00:45:09.518
See, you know, so many people misquote these scriptures about the glory and they'll say that the earth will be covered with the glory of the Lord like the water of the seas.

00:45:09.518 --> 00:45:10.213
And that's not what that scripture says.

00:45:10.213 --> 00:45:11.039
It says the earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord like the water of the seas.

00:45:11.039 --> 00:45:11.614
And that's not what that scripture says.

00:45:11.614 --> 00:45:15.135
It says the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord.

00:45:15.135 --> 00:45:18.215
Now, that doesn't mean that everybody's going to know the knowledge of the Lord.

00:45:18.215 --> 00:45:27.184
It just means that the earth is going to be full of people like you that know the knowledge of the Lord and know how to minister it and know how to make it revealed.

00:45:27.184 --> 00:45:50.585
And know how to make it revealed Because he has caused his light to shine in you, that you may have a hope, an earnest expectation of the manifestation of the glory in your life, and not only for your benefit, but for the benefit of others.

00:45:51.144 --> 00:45:56.650
Hallelujah, praise God.

00:45:56.650 --> 00:46:35.338
God wants you to not only know this light, but he wants you to know the glory, and he wants you to know how to deal with it, know when it shows up, know what it is, know how to manage it if you want to say for a better word than that, but more how to cooperate with God when he manifests himself and know how to deal with this, that when it shows up, it is always in the face of Jesus.

00:46:35.338 --> 00:46:35.519
Amen.

00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:37.789
You're not going to find it anywhere else.

00:46:37.789 --> 00:46:47.793
And if it's in the face of Jesus, then that means one thing, and one thing only that this God has shown up and he is going to reveal himself and he is going to be mighty.

00:46:47.793 --> 00:46:50.849
In your behalf, glory to God.

00:46:50.849 --> 00:46:57.510
Thank you, jesus, hallelujah, you want this ministry of glory.

00:46:57.510 --> 00:47:03.737
It all has to come around to knowing what it is.

00:47:03.737 --> 00:47:11.434
It comes into receiving this light that he causes to be birthed in you.

00:47:14.106 --> 00:47:17.916
But folks, I mean, you know I could sit here and preach this all year long, amen.

00:47:17.916 --> 00:47:20.293
And that doesn't mean that anybody out there is going to change.

00:47:20.293 --> 00:47:25.853
They would prefer an unglorious gospel.

00:47:25.853 --> 00:47:30.449
But I want you to.

00:47:30.449 --> 00:47:33.697
You know I'm not picking on anybody, but you might as well get the facts straight.

00:47:34.125 --> 00:47:37.295
An unglorious gospel is not a gospel, it's another gospel.

00:47:37.295 --> 00:47:45.456
It's not well, there's the unglorious gospel and there's the glorious gospel.

00:47:45.456 --> 00:47:47.990
You just pick and choose, kind of like a Chinese menu.

00:47:47.990 --> 00:47:49.936
You know, take one from here and one from there.

00:47:49.936 --> 00:47:52.170
You know it's not like that.

00:47:52.170 --> 00:47:54.496
It's a gospel of glory and that's all we got.

00:47:56.186 --> 00:47:57.550
That's the gospel Paul preached.

00:47:57.550 --> 00:47:59.293
That's the gospel Peter preached.

00:47:59.293 --> 00:48:01.045
That's the gospel John preached.

00:48:01.045 --> 00:48:03.972
That's the gospel John saw on the Isle of Patmos.

00:48:03.972 --> 00:48:05.496
Are you getting any of this?

00:48:05.496 --> 00:48:06.438
Amen.

00:48:07.545 --> 00:48:09.550
That's the gospel that Jesus preached.

00:48:09.550 --> 00:48:11.657
It's the gospel that John the Baptist preached.

00:48:11.657 --> 00:48:15.634
It's the gospel that Isaiah saw when the year that King Uzziah died.

00:48:15.634 --> 00:48:21.617
It's the gospel that Ezekiel saw when the, when the spirit lifted up over the, over the wall of Jerusalem.

00:48:21.617 --> 00:48:25.233
It's the gospel that Ezekiel saw in the wheel of the middle of the wheel.

00:48:25.233 --> 00:48:25.994
Can I go on?

00:48:25.994 --> 00:48:26.936
Hallelujah?

00:48:26.936 --> 00:48:31.335
It's the gospel that Malachi saw in the son of righteousness that had healing in his wings.

00:48:31.335 --> 00:48:33.128
I'm talking about that glory.

00:48:33.128 --> 00:48:40.000
Amen, amen, hallelujah.

00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:44.407
We've been sold a bill of goods.

00:48:44.467 --> 00:48:46.153
It's time to get the erasers out.

00:48:46.153 --> 00:48:48.949
Scrub your minds.

00:48:48.949 --> 00:48:56.114
Real good of everything that is not glory, that you might be more glorious.

00:48:56.114 --> 00:49:06.797
See, he didn't say he's going to transform you from glory or transform you to glory.

00:49:06.797 --> 00:49:11.253
He didn't say I'm going to glorify you.

00:49:11.253 --> 00:49:22.869
He said I'm going to transform you from one glory to another, glory to another, glory to another, glory to another.

00:49:22.869 --> 00:49:31.170
Glory in this body, amen, this body.

00:49:31.190 --> 00:49:39.521
And then, when you get glorified, another level of glory and another level of glory, and another.

00:49:39.521 --> 00:49:43.264
How many levels of glory are there?

00:49:43.264 --> 00:49:44.105
Infinite.

00:49:44.105 --> 00:49:52.525
So if you're going to get transformed from one level of glory to another, how long is that going to take?

00:49:52.525 --> 00:50:00.338
Eternity, and are you ever going to be filled with the fullness of all of it?

00:50:00.338 --> 00:50:07.402
He'll just start dreaming up new levels.

00:50:07.402 --> 00:50:10.289
You go what's infinite?

00:50:10.289 --> 00:50:11.990
Infinite means there's no end to it.

00:50:11.990 --> 00:50:30.418
So when you get to infinite minus one and you're almost there Jesus will get out his little pencil and go and create a whole other infinity of glory for you to explore.

00:50:30.418 --> 00:50:37.195
And you think you know about the glory.

00:50:37.195 --> 00:50:41.634
We're like worse than first graders.

00:50:41.634 --> 00:50:46.431
We don't know anything, but we've got an invitation.

00:50:46.431 --> 00:50:48.869
Yes, we do.

00:50:48.869 --> 00:51:12.737
We've got an invitation to let this light of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord shine.

00:51:12.737 --> 00:51:18.722
In Praise God forevermore.

00:51:18.722 --> 00:51:19.782
Let's stand.
