  2. 0:02School of dying to
  3. 0:05self um and again like I said tonight I
  4. 0:08mainly want
  5. 0:09to put the
  6. 0:11significance on the topic before we even
  7. 0:14go anywhere of like what what do we'
  8. 0:16been talking about and breaking verses
  9. 0:18down too
  10. 0:19deep
  11. 0:21um but I I have here uh number number
  12. 0:25one I touched on it a minute ago the
  13. 0:27world is running full force into the
  14. 0:29exact opposite Direction with great
  15. 0:31momentum in this last
  16. 0:33hour the the total polar opposite of
  17. 0:36dying to self the world's going for self
  18. 0:39love self in it for self the reason I do
  19. 0:42this is for self me my and mine and I
  20. 0:46want us to know the kingdom if you
  21. 0:48signed up for
  22. 0:51Christianity I love this about um this
  23. 0:55gospel this word this flawless King who
  24. 0:59lived this life and his whole mission
  25. 1:00and goal was to get to that
  26. 1:02cross die and rise again and be seated
  27. 1:05and then have others take up their and
  28. 1:07do the same thing you know you have
  29. 1:09other Twisted religions that are founded
  30. 1:11in death which is
  31. 1:13sin and they may give up their life for
  32. 1:16what they believe in martyrdom but it's
  33. 1:17a total Twisted it's still for
  34. 1:19self you know like um certain Muslim
  35. 1:25extremists the it
  36. 1:27looks sometimes committed and Brave on
  37. 1:31paper you know martyrdom but it's unto
  38. 1:34what's in it from
  39. 1:36itself and I Love The Gospel the the
  40. 1:39Living God who you and I
  41. 1:41serve seen so perfectly through Jesus is
  42. 1:45why death because true love lays its
  43. 1:47life down that's why love is the
  44. 1:50greatest of all and uh and that that's
  45. 1:53what's under this whole thing Amit so
  46. 1:56many so much more but um but may we just
  47. 2:00set that straight right up front the
  48. 2:01world just fleshly n we were born into
  49. 2:03sin the Bible says all man has fallen
  50. 2:05short of the glory of God and so if we
  51. 2:08don't give oursel over to this book and
  52. 2:10what Jesus Paid for through the born-
  53. 2:12again Christian
  54. 2:13Life you will have a bloud inner
  55. 2:16bullhorn pulling you just you know
  56. 2:20coaching you to go after what's you self
  57. 2:23even relationships because what it makes
  58. 2:25how it makes me feel and everything's
  59. 2:27about self in the path Jesus walked
  60. 2:30that's why he's he's so profound in
  61. 2:32every way nobody's ever and ever will be
  62. 2:34like him it's just it's just wild his
  63. 2:38Playbook no nothing can stand in
  64. 2:40comparison to Jesus and this life called
  65. 2:44Christianity if seen truly through this
  66. 2:46book The Right Way authentic
  67. 2:49theology TR the true biblical form of of
  68. 2:52a life lived after God is one of dying
  69. 2:55to self denying yourself not popular
  70. 3:00I joked I encourage I want to just
  71. 3:02encourage if you if you join this school
  72. 3:03like I'm proud of you but I joked up to
  73. 3:06the point and we weren't really trying
  74. 3:08to go out of our way to highly promote
  75. 3:10it much I was more teasing the other way
  76. 3:12that many people are you know going to
  77. 3:14be looking for other type conferences in
  78. 3:15schools
  79. 3:16meaning I know this isn't
  80. 3:19popular but uh we're not we didn't sign
  81. 3:22up for popular we signed up to marry the
  82. 3:24bridegroom King and it just so happens
  83. 3:27that one of the number one plays in his
  84. 3:29book is death to self deny yourself and
  85. 3:31follow me and there's such beauty in it
  86. 3:34it's such life comes out of it um and so
  87. 3:38just want to uh again 2 Timothy 3 I
  88. 3:42quoted earlier it says in the last days
  89. 3:44which we're in and only increasing into
  90. 3:47there'll be perilous times why Paul
  91. 3:49because people will be lovers of
  92. 3:52themselves the Bible says in 1
  93. 3:54Corinthians 13 love seeks not its
  94. 3:57own it's not about self
  95. 4:00and that's where we're trying to go
  96. 4:01we're trying to get so separate we're
  97. 4:03not trying to be relevant at all with
  98. 4:05this world at all not trying to even
  99. 4:07make sense at all not trying to have
  100. 4:09everybody understand us no we preach the
  101. 4:11gospel it's the mystery it's simple to
  102. 4:14some but it's the power of God we preach
  103. 4:16the gospel we live life lives laid down
  104. 4:19unto him we answer to the Lord one day
  105. 4:21and that's it we fear God we love people
  106. 4:24we we want to become like people to win
  107. 4:25them but not for the sake of coming off
  108. 4:27of this book and for sure sure not
  109. 4:30leaving the path of dying to self and
  110. 4:31denying ourselves laying our lives down
  111. 4:34and that's what these next weeks we'll
  112. 4:35be we'll be doing together digging
  113. 4:36throughout the word and I pray the Lord
  114. 4:38would look at us after a few weeks and
  115. 4:40be like yes yes yes they're looking so
  116. 4:42much more like my son there's a dead
  117. 4:44company arising in the earth you
  118. 4:47know and um it's so so good but I have
  119. 4:52here this
  120. 4:53momentum in in wave if you will that's
  121. 4:56ever incre and I'm telling you
  122. 5:01like even Generations
  123. 5:04ago people weren't as selfish it's wild
  124. 5:08it's it's the spirit of the age that's
  125. 5:09creeping in and the Bible it's it makes
  126. 5:11sense it say in the last days people
  127. 5:13will be lovers of themselves but even
  128. 5:15back in the day there's there was still
  129. 5:17a little bit even if you weren't born
  130. 5:18again there was still just a little bit
  131. 5:20more moral hey treat your neighbor right
  132. 5:24like it may cost you but go out there
  133. 5:26and help and and just do certain things
  134. 5:29in life in marriages across the the
  135. 5:32country the Nations like everything was
  136. 5:34it's it's increasingly my point going uh
  137. 5:38the spirit of this age away from this
  138. 5:40word and Isaiah 60 tells us that clearly
  139. 5:43that Darkness will cover the the Earth
  140. 5:45deep Darkness the
  141. 5:48people and lawlessness will increase see
  142. 5:51this is Matthew 24 it's just all over
  143. 5:52the word of God and so with all of this
  144. 5:56under the umbrella of the school in the
  145. 5:57context of the school is a massive
  146. 6:01movement of what's in it for me that's
  147. 6:04in the earth and only increasing and my
  148. 6:06next point is also it's creeping into
  149. 6:09the
  150. 6:10church um like we've never seen before
  151. 6:13it's like
  152. 6:15consumerism you know uh it's and even
  153. 6:17churches are building their structure
  154. 6:20around it and it's called self- seek uh
  155. 6:22Seeker friendly
  156. 6:23sorry because it's like what's in it for
  157. 6:26me and in it's you know it's just want
  158. 6:28to appease everybody be politically
  159. 6:30correct we're not doing that like this
  160. 6:32is a separate deal we we are a church
  161. 6:35for many of you that don't know we're
  162. 6:36not no that's not us and in Jesus name
  163. 6:39may we never I don't even want to I
  164. 6:41don't even want to my pinky toe to touch
  165. 6:43that water we're good we're good but in
  166. 6:46in for the sake of the school and a
  167. 6:49People CU if you sign up for this you're
  168. 6:51a rare I'm telling you you're rare um
  169. 6:55and I'm just thankful to be in this with
  170. 6:57you because I'm going after it myself
  171. 7:00but
  172. 7:01uh it's you know it's it's creeping in
  173. 7:04the church and it's and it's showing
  174. 7:05itself it'll it'll paint itself in a in
  175. 7:08wrapping paper that looks Christian but
  176. 7:11really if you start paying attention
  177. 7:13closely without a critical spirit no we
  178. 7:15just want to be like Jesus we never want
  179. 7:17to step over into criticism becoming
  180. 7:19cynical pointing the finger and we're
  181. 7:21and competition and competing um that's
  182. 7:24never God we want to understand and and
  183. 7:27and kind of try and put oursel in
  184. 7:29people's shoes and and relate and see
  185. 7:31where their background is and things
  186. 7:32like this but not compromise either when
  187. 7:34you see full out
  188. 7:37self-seeking things being done for self
  189. 7:39and there's just a lot of that so it's
  190. 7:41creeping into the church my whole point
  191. 7:43is let's get out if there's anything of
  192. 7:46it still trying to creep into your home
  193. 7:48your family your personal life your
  194. 7:50whatever you're at bless others you
  195. 7:53can't you can't make people drink you
  196. 7:55can lead them to the water but look
  197. 7:56let's let's you and I you can't speak
  198. 7:58for yourself let's run from this thing
  199. 8:01and run towards the cross and denying
  200. 8:04oursel because it is the Jesus way um
  201. 8:08one
  202. 8:20second
  203. 8:28three okay sorry
  204. 8:30but anyway we want to run from um lovers
  205. 8:34of self like let's be like oh yeah the
  206. 8:36Bible's super clear on that uh God's not
  207. 8:38into that Jesus never was he never put
  208. 8:41that road map in in our GPS system we're
  209. 8:44going to denial of self so we want to
  210. 8:47read through a few foundational passages
  211. 8:49that we may dig through later in weeks
  212. 8:50to come but I'm just giving us some
  213. 8:52infrastructure before we move on Matthew
  214. 8:5410:
  215. 8:5838-39 just going to read them
  216. 9:00quick
  217. 9:02um and he who does not take his cross
  218. 9:06this is Jesus talking and follow after
  219. 9:08me is not worthy of
  220. 9:11me he who finds his life will lose it
  221. 9:14and he who loses his life for my sake
  222. 9:16will find
  223. 9:18it let me let me do this
  224. 9:21yeah uh Matthew
  225. 9:2316:24 then Jesus said to his disciples
  226. 9:26if anyone desires to come after me let
  227. 9:29him seek his own no let him deny
  228. 9:34himself and take up his cross and follow
  229. 9:37me so this shows you that the the path
  230. 9:40behind the Lord has nothing to do with
  231. 9:42you it's not in it's not what's in it
  232. 9:44for you not what's best for you you're
  233. 9:46not you're not in the equation I love
  234. 9:48this and again I know it's not popular
  235. 9:50but it's so freeing and so like the
  236. 9:53sun and I can guarantee you the Lord is
  237. 9:56going to marry someone an equivalent to
  238. 10:01the road map he laid out meaning
  239. 10:03somebody that that will take up their
  240. 10:05crosses well like him the bride my point
  241. 10:07is going to be a dead company
  242. 10:10so a lot of us love the intimate
  243. 10:12intimacy slant the loving of the Lord
  244. 10:15bridegroom King all of that that goes
  245. 10:18over real well quite often you start
  246. 10:20talking about denying yourself and
  247. 10:21taking up your cross um it's like whoa
  248. 10:24hold on a second like you know but
  249. 10:27really it's they're one and the same
  250. 10:29you you the bridal realm is a she's a
  251. 10:32dead dead company Matthew
  252. 10:3616:24 then Jesus said to his disciples
  253. 10:39if anyone desires to come after me let
  254. 10:41him deny himself take up his cross and
  255. 10:43follow me Mark 8:34 through 35 when he
  256. 10:47had called the people to himself with
  257. 10:49his disciples also he said to them
  258. 10:51whoever desires to come after me let him
  259. 10:54deny himself and take up his cross and
  260. 10:55follow me for whoever desires to save
  261. 10:58his life will lose it but whoever loses
  262. 11:00his life for my sake and the gospels
  263. 11:03will save it I love this about the Lord
  264. 11:05too cuz he
  265. 11:08never like trick like like you know
  266. 11:12misleads you he never me his words he
  267. 11:15doesn't like just trick you and fool you
  268. 11:17along the way and they go surprise I I
  269. 11:19made you think this is going to be all
  270. 11:21about you but it's not no step one like
  271. 11:23you step into the very first day of
  272. 11:25class with the Lord as like hey I want
  273. 11:28to be a disciple he goes good day one if
  274. 11:30you want to even come back tomorrow you
  275. 11:33it's write this down in bold letters in
  276. 11:35your little notepad highlight it
  277. 11:36underlight it everything deny
  278. 11:39yourself point one you got that okay
  279. 11:42point two take up your cross and then
  280. 11:46third Point Daily like it it never ends
  281. 11:49I love this about the Lord see the
  282. 11:51devil sways the carrot and and and just
  283. 11:55tricks people in life and and he dangles
  284. 11:58things along to to just pull people down
  285. 12:00down deceptive paths the Lord never does
  286. 12:02that he's he's always very very clear
  287. 12:04and that's what I want to do I want to
  288. 12:05make it clear like go ahead and weed out
  289. 12:08like the people that are all about them
  290. 12:09or at least help us Lord by your
  291. 12:12grace get there uh event at least be
  292. 12:15heading that way you know and so the
  293. 12:18Lord he he's he's very clear he he
  294. 12:20doesn't me words Luke 9:23 through
  295. 12:2324 then he said to them all see in back
  296. 12:27on Mark 8 he says he called to the
  297. 12:28people to himself and his disciples and
  298. 12:30he threw it out to all of them disciples
  299. 12:31he' already called them he knew like
  300. 12:33they're going to stick with me Judas I
  301. 12:34know is going to play a big part in
  302. 12:36hanging me on the cross let me go just
  303. 12:37throw the invitation out to all to where
  304. 12:39it's real clear if you want to follow me
  305. 12:42your life's over you're to follow Jesus
  306. 12:45we need to get this to follow Jesus you
  307. 12:48basically sign a contract that your your
  308. 12:51life's no longer
  309. 12:52yours it's it's so beautiful I know it's
  310. 12:55to flesh it's like wait a minute I want
  311. 12:58some control still I want some say so I
  312. 13:00want to be able to kind of still have a
  313. 13:03foot in what's in it for me or what's it
  314. 13:06going to look like in 10 years what
  315. 13:07about my 401k well no I mean the true
  316. 13:10biblical standard and that's what I I
  317. 13:11really hope to bring over these next you
  318. 13:14know several weeks together I want to
  319. 13:16bring the unadulterated unpolluted raw
  320. 13:19and let it just land where it will you
  321. 13:21know and you start to see in time many
  322. 13:25people can talk but time is a is a good
  323. 13:29good tester time proves and when you
  324. 13:32start having your right hand nailed
  325. 13:33you're like oh that was tough then my
  326. 13:35left hand I have nothing to grab and
  327. 13:36then my feet and and you go deeper with
  328. 13:39the Lord in this in this way um you know
  329. 13:42some people fall off and and that's okay
  330. 13:45but may we get the Revelation by the
  331. 13:47spirit of the word that this is where
  332. 13:48true life is it's it's the
  333. 13:51way but to follow Jesus is literally I
  334. 13:56it's the only it's just crazy and
  335. 13:59there's nothing else in life like it
  336. 14:01like you go to sign up for a job and why
  337. 14:03do you go to get a job to better your
  338. 14:06stance in life financially and you
  339. 14:08should that's biblical and Steward and
  340. 14:09finan and that's good but I'm just
  341. 14:11saying there's literally
  342. 14:12nothing you would go to and Life to
  343. 14:16follow and sign a contract trct on that
  344. 14:20would
  345. 14:21erase you and that's what the Lord calls
  346. 14:24for it's just incredible Luke 9:23
  347. 14:27through 24 but we're going to see
  348. 14:29ultimately because this is how he gets
  349. 14:31full Glory it's the beautiful design and
  350. 14:33how he set it up he shines most fully
  351. 14:35through dead
  352. 14:36vessels as long as any of us is still
  353. 14:39living that's that's areas Jesus there's
  354. 14:41like a blockade there the Lord can't get
  355. 14:42through fully he's in US yes we're saved
  356. 14:45he loves you but he can shine potently
  357. 14:48and fully through dead vessels and so
  358. 14:50that's what he's that's what he's after
  359. 14:52Luke 9:23 through2
  360. 14:5324 then he Jesus said to them all if
  361. 14:57anyone desires to come out after me let
  362. 14:59him deny himself take up his cross once
  363. 15:02in a
  364. 15:03while take up his cross one time and
  365. 15:07then you're done you you graduated no
  366. 15:10take up his cross daily well when do the
  367. 15:13days end they never
  368. 15:15do there's days in every week and every
  369. 15:18month and every year and guess how many
  370. 15:19years there are as many as until the
  371. 15:21Lord returns and there's still days in
  372. 15:22that daily and follow me how long until
  373. 15:26I return or you die and come see me
  374. 15:29first daily it never ends and it's and
  375. 15:32if we can learn to get the revelation of
  376. 15:34like oh my gosh we'll see here in a
  377. 15:37second if we get that far um
  378. 15:39tonight that the Lord sees death as an
  379. 15:44accomplishment one of the greatest
  380. 15:47rewards you can obtain this side of
  381. 15:50Heaven because when you get to the
  382. 15:51Eternal side you're never given this
  383. 15:52opportunity again that's the other thing
  384. 15:54this only the only option we have to
  385. 15:57deny ourself because directly ties into
  386. 16:00our will our wants our desires um how we
  387. 16:04want it you know so many
  388. 16:06things but we only have one opportunity
  389. 16:09it's this side once you cross over it's
  390. 16:11it's done and thank the Lord that's the
  391. 16:14next chapter of overcoming and being one
  392. 16:16and you know hopefully overcoming being
  393. 16:18on the throne with the Lord but but this
  394. 16:20side this is why the Lord HD it over and
  395. 16:22over and over again it's all throughout
  396. 16:24the word it it's a it's the greatest
  397. 16:27reward I outside of loving him but one
  398. 16:30of the greatest rewards is is dying to
  399. 16:32to
  400. 16:36us because of Love lays its life down
  401. 16:39which is the highest call on life to
  402. 16:41love him and know him but then also he
  403. 16:43gets full glory and that's what this
  404. 16:45really simply put if you just take
  405. 16:47everything and bring it down to two
  406. 16:48points in life why am I living to love
  407. 16:50and know him and to give him glory and
  408. 16:52you notice both of those have nothing to
  409. 16:54do with us this is the purest posture
  410. 16:56you can ever align with and Lord take us
  411. 16:59there I pray why am I awake and alive
  412. 17:02today to love him and know him and give
  413. 17:04him glory from that are there great
  414. 17:06benefits and blessings and freedom and
  415. 17:08like oh yeah and healing and divine
  416. 17:10health and oh yeah thank you Lord
  417. 17:12because that why because that gives you
  418. 17:14glory and I'm very thankful I'm very
  419. 17:16thankful this thing is too good to be
  420. 17:18true how you set it all up but you can't
  421. 17:22love him fully and give him glory
  422. 17:24outside of a dead life you can start to
  423. 17:28but if the the more living we are and
  424. 17:32he's so clear here those two aren't
  425. 17:34going to be lived out to to um to any
  426. 17:38great
  427. 17:39extent for whoever desires to save his
  428. 17:41life will lose it but whoever loses his
  429. 17:44life for my sake will save it I mean I
  430. 17:46pray this thing would get on us look I
  431. 17:48know it's foreign to many movements and
  432. 17:50crowds and it's not going to be a big
  433. 17:51shout you down message like this is one
  434. 17:53you're going to take an offering up on
  435. 17:55but I pray at least it would get in us
  436. 17:58and we start to teach our children and
  437. 18:01and just walk in it because it's the
  438. 18:03word it's undeniable in the word and
  439. 18:04you're just going to be
  440. 18:05different dead people are really hard to
  441. 18:08reject and hurt they just don't care
  442. 18:11they're
  443. 18:12dead they they really don't cow a man
  444. 18:14because they don't fear man they fear
  445. 18:16God they're dead to it all the world
  446. 18:17doesn't attract them they're dead to it
  447. 18:19all they they're so apt to be one with
  448. 18:22the lord they're somewhere apt to be
  449. 18:24sensitive to his voice because they're
  450. 18:26dead to them and they're very alive to
  451. 18:28the spirit they sense the slightest
  452. 18:29wooing and sharp conviction and there's
  453. 18:32just so so much there but um Luke 14 I
  454. 18:36love this in 27 Jesus was
  455. 18:39straightforward don't ever think the
  456. 18:41Lord Jesus Christ was politically
  457. 18:44correct and by our definitions he didn't
  458. 18:46give a rip about any of that often he
  459. 18:48would say things you wouldn't even
  460. 18:50understand him and he wouldn't even
  461. 18:51clear it up I there's a whole another
  462. 18:53topic U me and some close friends were
  463. 18:55talking about like there's nonsense in
  464. 18:58because you know Matthew
  465. 19:0024 talks
  466. 19:02about um you know people being easily
  467. 19:05offended well the Bible talks about that
  468. 19:07we should not be easily offended but
  469. 19:08also many will be offended that's
  470. 19:10another line item with lawlessness will
  471. 19:12increase and the love of many will grow
  472. 19:14cold well being offended as another
  473. 19:15massive one that's hitting the Earth
  474. 19:16right now Matthew 24 end
  475. 19:18times so it's just super
  476. 19:22like everything's getting categorized
  477. 19:24into a bunch of nonsense that just Jesus
  478. 19:26and Paul and all of them would be like
  479. 19:28what are you talking about about like
  480. 19:30it's spiritual abuse and my my feelings
  481. 19:32and me and the Lord's like Peter get
  482. 19:34behind me Satan eat my flesh drink my
  483. 19:37blood making whips and flipping tables
  484. 19:38and he you know rich man he said what
  485. 19:41what must I be do to be born again he
  486. 19:43says go sell everything you got follow
  487. 19:45me the dude left sorrowful and Jesus let
  488. 19:48him let him walk off he didn't plead
  489. 19:50with him and do a counsel
  490. 19:51session Grant it now the Lord's very
  491. 19:53kind and patient and there's that side
  492. 19:55to him as well but don't I love that
  493. 19:58about him the Lord's he'll let it be
  494. 20:00known he'll tell you straight he's not
  495. 20:02worried about your your poor little
  496. 20:04feelings a lot of times he'll on purpose
  497. 20:06hit that like we we got to come out of
  498. 20:08this whole thing that's another thing
  499. 20:09again it's a different topic but the
  500. 20:10spirit of the age is creeping on people
  501. 20:13and there just if everything isn't so
  502. 20:16tactfully said and um people are just
  503. 20:19taking things the wrong way anyway
  504. 20:21that's my little
  505. 20:23little holy Soap Box over here but I
  506. 20:26love this Luke 14:27 help us Lord and
  507. 20:29whoever does not bear his cross and come
  508. 20:31after me uh cannot be my
  509. 20:35disciple like wow the St I mean he set
  510. 20:39standards super high why because he
  511. 20:41knows if you'll just obey him he he'll
  512. 20:43give you the grace to do it and you guys
  513. 20:46know I always and will continue to
  514. 20:47through this school underg everything
  515. 20:50with none of this can be done outside of
  516. 20:52loving him deeply CU it's by his Spirit
  517. 20:56not by our own might or strength but by
  518. 20:57his spirit by his grace but also there's
  519. 21:00Faith salvation is with Grace and Faith
  520. 21:04and so I'm hitting both hard but don't
  521. 21:06ever think I'm meaning to roll up our
  522. 21:07sleeves and we're just going to do this
  523. 21:09thing it's by loving him and knowing him
  524. 21:12and that's why I love the the beauty of
  525. 21:14this high standard he
  526. 21:16sets because he he can Empower you to do
  527. 21:18it he says be perfect as I am perfect
  528. 21:21and it's like whoa how I I'll Empower
  529. 21:24you to just obey the book follow me
  530. 21:28Romans 8 those that are led by the
  531. 21:30spirit are true sons of God follow the
  532. 21:31Holy Spirit stay say deep in prayer in
  533. 21:34my word and um but Luke 14:27 and
  534. 21:37whoever does not bear his cross and come
  535. 21:38after me cannot be my disciple period he
  536. 21:42didn't even kind of give a a loophole in
  537. 21:45there if you do not bear your cross and
  538. 21:47come after me and that's that's two-part
  539. 21:50we'll probably go into it deeper in
  540. 21:51weeks to come but you can't even be his
  541. 21:54disciple which means you can't even
  542. 21:56learn from him
  543. 21:59that's stage one you're you're not even
  544. 22:00talking about being used by him in
  545. 22:03certain ways this is just learning from
  546. 22:05him and um and so it's just so good L
  547. 22:09Lord help us uh so I have here one of
  548. 22:12the greatest goals of this life prior to
  549. 22:15crossing over to the Eternal side is the
  550. 22:17goal of dying to
  551. 22:19self and I do want to clarify this
  552. 22:21because we may have some new students in
  553. 22:22here that like sometimes these terms are
  554. 22:26you know everybody comes from different
  555. 22:27backgrounds and different parts of the
  556. 22:28world world and and it may not always
  557. 22:30click different languages but for
  558. 22:32clarity's sake I clearly talking about
  559. 22:35the biblical view point of this dying to
  560. 22:39self referred to from none other than
  561. 22:41Jesus
  562. 22:43Christ that we just saw in some of our
  563. 22:45biblical reading I'm by no means uh
  564. 22:47please hear this because I'll never
  565. 22:49touch this again as we move on but I
  566. 22:51just want to get it in there I am by no
  567. 22:53means implying this notion to a literal
  568. 22:56or physical dying or even a natural
  569. 22:58means of inflicting hurt or suffering or
  570. 23:00death upon ourselves in any way when I
  571. 23:03talk about dying to self that's not what
  572. 23:04I'm talking about I'm clearly speaking
  573. 23:07in reference to the exact same
  574. 23:09application of the term dying to self
  575. 23:11that Jesus was referring to and I
  576. 23:13believe is continuing to as a great cry
  577. 23:15from Heaven over his bride in
  578. 23:17preparation for his
  579. 23:19return so I I'm referring to the
  580. 23:22terminology Jesus is using and we're
  581. 23:24clearly going to break it down further
  582. 23:25as the school continues the does
  583. 23:29but that Jesus is did call us to in the
  584. 23:32word but I believe is currently crying
  585. 23:34out over heaven for his bride to come
  586. 23:37into this dying to self as well in
  587. 23:39preparation for his
  588. 23:42return can that also sometimes look like
  589. 23:46and result in martyrdom which would be a
  590. 23:49more literal application of dying for
  591. 23:51the sake of the Gospel absolutely so we
  592. 23:54also do include that for sure a life
  593. 23:57laid down for the gospel goel you know
  594. 24:00we don't fear man but God who can
  595. 24:02destroy both the body and soul in hell
  596. 24:04it's Matthew 10 we don't fear man who
  597. 24:06can kill the body so that that's
  598. 24:08martyrdom but more importantly when I'm
  599. 24:11talking about dying to self a a
  600. 24:14lifestyle um that Jesus is referring to
  601. 24:17so because they got some really
  602. 24:18interesting things in ages old with
  603. 24:20Mystics and inflicting pain and things
  604. 24:23and it like it was holy that that's not
  605. 24:24biblical so just want to make that
  606. 24:27clear so I have here um dying to self as
  607. 24:32many of you have heard me mentioned
  608. 24:33before on multiple occasions is I
  609. 24:36believe one of the three major keys at
  610. 24:39the top of the value system for the life
  611. 24:41of a
  612. 24:43Believer um I believe that dying to self
  613. 24:46is like one of the top three major keys
  614. 24:50if you had you know had to gauge things
  615. 24:52in a value system of the spirit for a
  616. 24:54Believer it'd be right up there with
  617. 24:56loving God number one I do rank that
  618. 24:58number one for sure nothing close to it
  619. 25:00loving and knowing him and then two and
  620. 25:03three I look at them interchangeable the
  621. 25:06renewal of the mind and dying to self
  622. 25:08and they they really need to go hand in
  623. 25:09hand all three you can't do any of them
  624. 25:12well if one's missing so you know that
  625. 25:15need to be in
  626. 25:20place but um number one loving him two
  627. 25:24and three interchangeable dying to self
  628. 25:27and the renewal of the Mind my my point
  629. 25:28is are dying to self is massive like if
  630. 25:30you had
  631. 25:32to you know ask
  632. 25:36me if I had just a few things I could
  633. 25:39leave with one believer and I'd never
  634. 25:41see them again and they were about to go
  635. 25:42through
  636. 25:44Decades of walking with the Lord until
  637. 25:46they see him return into whatever it
  638. 25:49could be whatever topography wherever in
  639. 25:52the earth geography wherever they were
  640. 25:53at it could be persecuted times it could
  641. 25:55be glorious times
  642. 25:56whatever these three I would highly
  643. 26:00encourage love God above all first and
  644. 26:02foremost first and greatest commandment
  645. 26:05by value
  646. 26:06too and then the renewal of the mind we
  647. 26:10just got out of that
  648. 26:11school and dying to self so just want to
  649. 26:15encourage you guys the importance if you
  650. 26:17remove dying to self from the equation
  651. 26:19of this life called
  652. 26:21Christianity you have removed such a
  653. 26:23massive part of the equation that the
  654. 26:26solution is no longer attainable
  655. 26:29so Christianity simply put means we're
  656. 26:31to become like Christ and we're to
  657. 26:33follow
  658. 26:34him as we saw earlier you take dying to
  659. 26:39self out in inequality way and it's it's
  660. 26:43unattainable you cannot become
  661. 26:45Christlike it's not going to happen out
  662. 26:47of the words of the the Lord himself he
  663. 26:49made that so clear so I pray we'd
  664. 26:51Embrace this and say you know what yeah
  665. 26:53it sometimes it
  666. 26:54hurts um because I want I like me I like
  667. 26:58the pleasures you know even that's
  668. 27:00another one that people will be lovers
  669. 27:02of pleasure rather than lovers of God we
  670. 27:05got to watch all this stuff and I hope
  671. 27:06we have time to check it over the next
  672. 27:08few weeks but God's he loves enjoyment
  673. 27:11in life but if we're not careful we will
  674. 27:16our our nature will want to pull towards
  675. 27:18what's self first and the Lord just
  676. 27:21checks it at the
  677. 27:25door I have here um if you are not dying
  678. 27:29to self you are not a Christian by
  679. 27:31biblical standards that's just the
  680. 27:34Bible see a lot well no I'm saved by you
  681. 27:37know by grace through faith yeah but
  682. 27:40that faith has works with it and Jesus
  683. 27:43clearly said if you want to follow me
  684. 27:44you got to deny yourself and take up
  685. 27:46your cross and if you don't take up your
  686. 27:49cross you're not my
  687. 27:51disciple you know what I mean so you you
  688. 27:55can dice it up however you like but I I
  689. 27:57like the biblical way it's very clear um
  690. 28:00if you are not dying to self you're not
  691. 28:03a True Believer by Jesus standards see
  692. 28:06but I do believe the
  693. 28:09Bible let's just make this clear real
  694. 28:11quick the Bible when it says
  695. 28:14believe in your you know if you believe
  696. 28:16that Jesus Christ that word believe
  697. 28:18means a life adhered to meaning it's got
  698. 28:22fruit to back it it's not a phrase It's
  699. 28:24not a thought it's a lifel lived out
  700. 28:27there's a a big big difference there
  701. 28:30there's a big difference there so when
  702. 28:32you read belief that's faith in James is
  703. 28:35real clear I love James just pulls the
  704. 28:37rug out from all from under he says look
  705. 28:39if you say you have faith I'm telling
  706. 28:41you I got faith with
  707. 28:43works so meaning my when I say I believe
  708. 28:47in the Lord I'm a Believer is because my
  709. 28:50life actually walks this thing out I'd
  710. 28:52hear my life to him and he actually told
  711. 28:54me if I want to continue to walk this
  712. 28:57thing and follow him
  713. 28:59I have to deny myself take up my a't is
  714. 29:02about me so if you see people waving a
  715. 29:05big Christian flag and even major
  716. 29:07Ministry title whatever and they ain't
  717. 29:10going down this path I'm just telling
  718. 29:11you the Bible's not really highlighting
  719. 29:13that a whole lot it's is God good does
  720. 29:16he bless us oh yeah and I preach all of
  721. 29:18that and we will continue to I'm just
  722. 29:21saying it's very
  723. 29:22clear and it'll hopefully become more
  724. 29:24clear as the weeks preced but um
  725. 29:29a Believer is is a life adhered to if
  726. 29:31you are not dying to self you are not a
  727. 29:34true disciple as we just saw in Luke's
  728. 29:37gospel right and so let's let's think
  729. 29:39about that too number one if I'm not
  730. 29:42sold on this that when I wake up
  731. 29:45tomorrow Wednesday November
  732. 29:478th one of my main missions if I'm
  733. 29:49following Jesus now if I'm following
  734. 29:51some other ideology system belief
  735. 29:54religion hey figure that one out but
  736. 29:57none of them lead lead to Eternity cuz
  737. 29:59none of their gods are alive even if
  738. 30:01it's not a religion whatever your your
  739. 30:02MO is in life but all of us in this
  740. 30:05school are clearly following Jesus
  741. 30:07seeking to more if I'm following the
  742. 30:10Lord I wake up I wake up tomorrow
  743. 30:12Wednesday November 8th and I'm knowing
  744. 30:14one of the top modes of operation for me
  745. 30:18is die to self
  746. 30:20tomorrow how am I going to take up my
  747. 30:22cross and follow him and deny
  748. 30:24me that's one of the the greatest
  749. 30:28um
  750. 30:30checkpoints daily we just read it is
  751. 30:32daily so Thursday that doesn't stop
  752. 30:34that's on the list every day and that's
  753. 30:37where life is Jesus
  754. 30:40says
  755. 30:43so and and that's what Jesus says
  756. 30:45equates me to be a disciple and so also
  757. 30:50we need to think through if we are
  758. 30:52aspiring to make disciples which Jesus
  759. 30:54commands us to do go into all the world
  760. 30:56make disciples many Nation
  761. 30:59well then let me think what's a disciple
  762. 31:00again oh yeah whoa I remember Jesus
  763. 31:03brought that up to me in his word and a
  764. 31:06disciple is somebody who denies thems
  765. 31:08yep takes up their cross not monthly
  766. 31:11daily wow so Sun not even off on Sundays
  767. 31:15Saturday what about the weekend no daily
  768. 31:18seven days a week
  769. 31:20247 and so my whole thing is like hey
  770. 31:23let's let's go ahead and see it for what
  771. 31:24it is and it's like it's a great joy Joy
  772. 31:28it's the pathway to life it's Heaven
  773. 31:31it's Heaven Divine this is the this is
  774. 31:33the way it's not something we want to
  775. 31:34run
  776. 31:35from um but number one if we're going to
  777. 31:38be a disciple need to check that off if
  778. 31:40we're making disciples I want to
  779. 31:42encourage you our children whoever we
  780. 31:44are you're discipling somebody whether
  781. 31:46you think you are or not you're you're
  782. 31:48impacting somebody you want to ingrain
  783. 31:50them with this hey not about you so how
  784. 31:53you kept doing that and you kept
  785. 31:54fighting for your own because you wanted
  786. 31:55your rights and you wanted it this way
  787. 31:56and selfish this and that
  788. 31:58the whole world systems built around
  789. 32:00that yet not the kingdom Kingdom's not
  790. 32:02that way kingdoms that your life is not
  791. 32:05your
  792. 32:06own and that's and that's what will be
  793. 32:09true disciples but if you raise up a
  794. 32:11bunch of self junkies they're not
  795. 32:13disciples by Bible standards they but
  796. 32:15they know a lot of verses they can
  797. 32:16preach the house down that's great but
  798. 32:18if they're not about denying them
  799. 32:19themselves they're not
  800. 32:21disciples isn't that wow that's like one
  801. 32:23of the clearest definitions in scripture
  802. 32:25and I love
  803. 32:26that so I have here one of the greatest
  804. 32:29goals of this life to attempt I have it
  805. 32:33underlined attempt uh pray I pray the
  806. 32:36Lord will help us to attain either
  807. 32:39before we go to be with the Lord prior
  808. 32:41to his return or we see him split the
  809. 32:43Sky by way of his return is completely
  810. 32:46dying to self this is one of the
  811. 32:48greatest goals in life to attempt
  812. 32:51completely dying to
  813. 32:52self like literally when we get to
  814. 32:55heaven one day again whether we see him
  815. 32:57first or he splits the
  816. 32:59sky one of my greatest goals and I I I
  817. 33:02pray for all of us one of our greatest
  818. 33:03goals is to be like Lord in that day let
  819. 33:07me be so dead to me because this is such
  820. 33:12a highlighted emphasis in Scripture that
  821. 33:14you walked out you literally came to the
  822. 33:18Earth for that moment you were crucified
  823. 33:22before the foundations of the
  824. 33:23earth and then you declare it clearly to
  825. 33:26anybody that wants to follow you take up
  826. 33:28the same deal daily and your cross and
  827. 33:29deny yourself and so I want to propose
  828. 33:32again with great emphasis on this first
  829. 33:34session the importance of denying to
  830. 33:36self and that this would be one of our
  831. 33:37greatest goals like Lord tomorrow let me
  832. 33:39be more dead than I was today Thursday
  833. 33:42let me be more dead than I was Wednesday
  834. 33:44please Lord help me in this area don't
  835. 33:46let me start taking steps back the other
  836. 33:48way don't let me go backwards and start
  837. 33:51seeking my own that's not love um I I
  838. 33:55got to lay my life down don't let me
  839. 33:57start fighting for my rights and getting
  840. 33:58offended because dead people don't do
  841. 34:00that's that's not in your
  842. 34:03company I need to be more dead each day
  843. 34:05and so I I want to encourage us that
  844. 34:08like we would see this
  845. 34:09life
  846. 34:11as a a race to who can die first and not
  847. 34:16a race against each other we never want
  848. 34:18to compete in that way but a race unto
  849. 34:21his glory because it's it's how he set
  850. 34:23it up a a race to end well
  851. 34:28and obtain the crown that he meant for
  852. 34:30us to wear why so we can throw it at his
  853. 34:32feet for his glory see this thing is
  854. 34:33about us but this is one of the
  855. 34:38greatest Pursuits and goals we should
  856. 34:41have as Believers and true disciples
  857. 34:42this out of Heaven is like oh yeah no
  858. 34:44this thing is not about me how can I lay
  859. 34:46my life down and I don't mean getting
  860. 34:48into works and getting outside of the
  861. 34:50spirit either because sometimes you can
  862. 34:51start to get outside of the Holy Spirit
  863. 34:52you're trying to do a bunch of stuff
  864. 34:54because you're denying yourself and
  865. 34:55God's not in it I'm meaning following
  866. 34:58him loving him in relationship with him
  867. 35:01but in that in following him we're like
  868. 35:03oh yeah he says deny yourself take up
  869. 35:04your cross and follow
  870. 35:06me but
  871. 35:08um may we daily have these three things
  872. 35:11on the Forefront of our minds so again
  873. 35:12tomorrow November 8th Wednesday maybe
  874. 35:14wake up like oh my gosh what are like
  875. 35:16three of the main points since I'm a
  876. 35:20Believer I should live by love God I
  877. 35:23need to do that in such a quality way
  878. 35:25tomorrow not to check off my box not
  879. 35:28legalism and works but I need him like I
  880. 35:30was made to love him and he clearly
  881. 35:33states it in his scripture that this is
  882. 35:35the greatest commandment from Heaven
  883. 35:37given to mankind is to love him Above
  884. 35:40All by value and uh in in place and
  885. 35:44everything love love
  886. 35:47God secondly third interchangeable
  887. 35:50however you want to do it die to me this
  888. 35:51thing's not about me I'm not trying to
  889. 35:54fight for I don't care I need the Lord
  890. 35:56glorified die to self
  891. 35:58and then the renewal of the mind that
  892. 35:59happens through the
  893. 36:01word and
  894. 36:04um I have here uh dying to self by Jesus
  895. 36:09standards is a far greater achievement
  896. 36:13than becoming somebody in the name of
  897. 36:15the
  898. 36:16Lord or doing something great or
  899. 36:19accomplishing this or
  900. 36:21that dead people are what stand out in
  901. 36:26heaven how you win the race here by
  902. 36:28Heaven's standards is by dying to you I
  903. 36:32can promise you when this thing all said
  904. 36:35and done the Lord is going who's going
  905. 36:38to stand out in heaven or dead ones not
  906. 36:41amazing ones will dead ones do amazing
  907. 36:44things oh yeah but dead ones dead
  908. 36:47vessels that's how the Lord shines
  909. 36:49through and we'll keep getting there go
  910. 36:51over into Galatians and certain there's
  911. 36:52verses that back all this that I'm
  912. 36:54saying but um
  913. 36:57you know you see in Matthew 7 I bring
  914. 36:59them up often it's just such a perfect
  915. 37:02picture the these boys were top-notch
  916. 37:04Elite preachers I mean Mighty exploit
  917. 37:06they were profound in in resume casting
  918. 37:09out Devil's prophecy Mighty exploits but
  919. 37:12they weren't dead to
  920. 37:14them the Lord says you workers of
  921. 37:16lawlessness I don't even know you first
  922. 37:19love was not a thing you clearly knew
  923. 37:22well because I don't know you I never
  924. 37:23knew you intimately don't know you so in
  925. 37:26from first love you clearly
  926. 37:28weren't dying to you and denying
  927. 37:29yourself you were just doing a lot of
  928. 37:31the works that I do anyway I do all that
  929. 37:34I cast out
  930. 37:35devils and so dead people are going to
  931. 37:39stand out far greater on that side
  932. 37:42versus
  933. 37:43um you know phenomenal ones I have here
  934. 37:47death is always what he shines most
  935. 37:49fully
  936. 37:50through not Talent not gifts not
  937. 37:54Charisma please hear this part though uh
  938. 37:57although the these things are great when
  939. 38:00enveloped in death so we love talents
  940. 38:03gifts Charisma love it all but I'll say
  941. 38:06that again death is always what he
  942. 38:08shines most fully through dead
  943. 38:11vessels not Talent not gifts nor
  944. 38:13Charisma although these things are great
  945. 38:16they're amazing when enveloped in death
  946. 38:20you take talents gifts from God anyway
  947. 38:23in Charisma and you pull them out of
  948. 38:25outside of the envelope of death and
  949. 38:27it's you still have a life is about it
  950. 38:30not good train wreck waiting to happen
  951. 38:32talents gifts from God and Charisma that
  952. 38:35are enveloped by death powerful the Lord
  953. 38:39can shine through that um in full Glory
  954. 38:42I have here where death is
  955. 38:45void Christ glory is
  956. 38:49absent please hear these next where
  957. 38:51death is
  958. 38:52void Christ's glory is
  959. 38:55absent where death is with
  960. 38:58drawn Christ nature is missing I'm tell
  961. 39:02he just he abides resides and shines
  962. 39:04through dead vessels like help us get
  963. 39:07over it all Lord help us die
  964. 39:09quickly uh that you may get Glory
  965. 39:11because this is just your
  966. 39:13way where death is withdrawn Christ's
  967. 39:15nature is missing where death is
  968. 39:18vacant Christ's Reign is
  969. 39:23nullified death is the key to power and
  970. 39:27life in
  971. 39:28Christ dead ones death is the key to
  972. 39:32power and life in
  973. 39:34Christ
  974. 39:35[Music]
  975. 39:40um I was going to bring hopefully I give
  976. 39:43you a visual um an electrical cord for a
  977. 39:46prop I was actually working at the house
  978. 39:48anyway doing some electrical working and
  979. 39:51hopefully you can visualize it but many
  980. 39:53of you will know with just an electrical
  981. 39:55wire typical
  982. 39:57you know um electrical
  983. 40:00wire especially residential you you'll
  984. 40:03have a um a neutral wire three wires in
  985. 40:06each
  986. 40:07neutral uh positive or hot and a ground
  987. 40:11right white typically black and green
  988. 40:15any of you that have done any work
  989. 40:19and and what the visual I wanted to give
  990. 40:21you was connecting us to God fully in
  991. 40:24the context of these top three
  992. 40:27that I've been talking about for quite
  993. 40:29some time of intimacy the renewal of the
  994. 40:31Mind death to self which is this school
  995. 40:34but let's imagine this being you and I
  996. 40:36in this
  997. 40:38God in the electrical current of love in
  998. 40:41the fullness of God his nature and His
  999. 40:43glory and all that flowing fully through
  1000. 40:45us and us to him becoming one with him
  1001. 40:48you know to know him be like him
  1002. 40:51represent him in the earth and he gets
  1003. 40:53full Glory well the white wire the
  1004. 40:55neutral I like to imagine it as the
  1005. 40:59intimacy
  1006. 41:01cord all right so and if just so you
  1007. 41:04know if any of these are not connected
  1008. 41:05it's not good uh and you definitely
  1009. 41:08white or black aren't connected you're
  1010. 41:09not even getting power but the ground
  1011. 41:12that I like to look at the um renewed
  1012. 41:14mind is where you can have problems if
  1013. 41:17that isn't connected but anyway white
  1014. 41:19one neutral it simply put uh allows the
  1015. 41:23the the electrical current to kind of go
  1016. 41:25back to the source let's just say that's
  1017. 41:28god um whereas the black positive or
  1018. 41:31hotline gets power to the source so if
  1019. 41:35you had power coming from like a battery
  1020. 41:37to a light bulb the the black
  1021. 41:40line so it's called White intimacy
  1022. 41:43because it it almost circulates anyway
  1023. 41:45in in loving God and him loving us and
  1024. 41:47keeping the current going positive black
  1025. 41:51um the I look at the in black wire dying
  1026. 41:54to
  1027. 41:55self we've got to have this connected
  1028. 41:58that death to us in Christ allows his
  1029. 42:02glory his resurrection power to
  1030. 42:04flow and so you have your white intimacy
  1031. 42:07has to be connected death to self has to
  1032. 42:09be connected and then the green ground
  1033. 42:13wire you know say electric you know
  1034. 42:15lightning bolt or something hits and it
  1035. 42:17can fry out some of your electronics
  1036. 42:18that's why that wire is so key it's
  1037. 42:20grounded and I love the the word play
  1038. 42:22because the green chord I see is the
  1039. 42:25renewal of the mind and it keeps us
  1040. 42:26grounded
  1041. 42:27stabilize in the word and what in what
  1042. 42:29the Lord's fully paid for and the enemy
  1043. 42:31comes in and he just can't get in he
  1044. 42:33can't th the connection to God in all
  1045. 42:37that the Lord's paid for and there's so
  1046. 42:38much more there's a very simple analogy
  1047. 42:40but I just wanted us to give a visual um
  1048. 42:42I was going to bring them but and like
  1049. 42:45wire tie them together and let you see
  1050. 42:47but may we look at that in life because
  1051. 42:51look you have intimacy awesome there's
  1052. 42:53going to be some current flowing praise
  1053. 42:55God well it has to be the like to but if
  1054. 42:58you disconnect dying to self you're just
  1055. 43:01not going to go very far there's going
  1056. 43:02to be a disconnect nothing's going to
  1057. 43:04flow and work because like I love you
  1058. 43:06Lord I worship you you're amazing your
  1059. 43:08presence thank you for saving me you're
  1060. 43:09my good shepherd oh oh Shepherd Lead Me
  1061. 43:12by The Still Waters he's like okay but
  1062. 43:14I'm going to lead you but don't you
  1063. 43:16remember if you're going to follow me
  1064. 43:17you got to deny yourself wait I don't
  1065. 43:19know about that part can we wi that one
  1066. 43:21out Lord he's like no no that's the
  1067. 43:24black cord that's death to you but
  1068. 43:27you're my good shepherd You Lead Me by
  1069. 43:29Still Waters you make me lie down in
  1070. 43:31Green Pastures he's like you know I do
  1071. 43:33but the only way we're going to get
  1072. 43:34there is if you follow me and I already
  1073. 43:36told you if you follow me you have to
  1074. 43:38deny you the only way you get to Still
  1075. 43:40Waters and where I make you lay down in
  1076. 43:42Green Pastures is dying to you see and
  1077. 43:45this is what we don't get so a lot of
  1078. 43:46times we disconnect that black wire of
  1079. 43:47death and we no there's no power
  1080. 43:49nothing's
  1081. 43:50working you see or sometimes we get
  1082. 43:54really good at like we just got this
  1083. 43:55martyrdom mentality I'm ready to let my
  1084. 43:57down for the gospel I'll sacrifice very
  1085. 43:59sacrificial I'm going to die to self but
  1086. 44:01you come off the intimacy slant and then
  1087. 44:04the the extra electricity from the black
  1088. 44:06can't it can't Circle back like you you
  1089. 44:08don't have your neutral connected
  1090. 44:11there's no intimacy to keep it going and
  1091. 44:13it's it's going to cut it all off it
  1092. 44:14won't work either sometimes intimacy
  1093. 44:17strong death to self we're loving it
  1094. 44:19we're following the Lord but we're not
  1095. 44:21really grounded in the word and some
  1096. 44:24demonic Doctrine comes in and twisted
  1097. 44:25nonsense on warfare and gets us all into
  1098. 44:28this swirl that has nothing to do with
  1099. 44:30the word of God and a lightning bolt
  1100. 44:32comes in a fiery Arrow from the enemy
  1101. 44:35like Ephesians 6 comes in and our Shield
  1102. 44:36of Faith's gone and we get blasted and
  1103. 44:39it blows everything off anyway so
  1104. 44:41they're all super key of course we're
  1105. 44:43talking about dying to self in this
  1106. 44:45one and it's it's so it's that massive
  1107. 44:48it's huge because a lot of us love Jesus
  1108. 44:51his presence even like this weekend the
  1109. 44:53glory of God we love the glory of God
  1110. 44:57but when it starts costing us and he
  1111. 44:59starts turning around to you and saying
  1112. 45:01hey if you love your family more than me
  1113. 45:03you're not worthy of where I'm going see
  1114. 45:06this is where the cost it is already by
  1115. 45:08scripture but it's going higher on the
  1116. 45:10bride in this last hour and when when
  1117. 45:11the heat turns up on on persecution and
  1118. 45:14things like this I I'll share this fast
  1119. 45:16I shared it with my kids the other day
  1120. 45:17something I heard in prayer was Dura it
  1121. 45:20was a word play on
  1122. 45:21battery and he broke the words down I
  1123. 45:24heard Dura cell and I knew it was a cell
  1124. 45:27like a prison and then the L on the cell
  1125. 45:29stuck out which I've known this for
  1126. 45:31years through the prophetic L is 12th
  1127. 45:33letter of the alphabet it's it's the
  1128. 45:34apostolic and the Lord I I believe he
  1129. 45:37was telling me clearly that true
  1130. 45:39Apostles the apostolic ones that preach
  1131. 45:41this word and don't come off of it
  1132. 45:42they're a Time's coming and I think it's
  1133. 45:44not as far out as we think well they're
  1134. 45:46going to have to Dura you know Dura sell
  1135. 45:49the battery hopefully you guys it's like
  1136. 45:50one of the top ones I think it's the
  1137. 45:52copper and black one Energizer is the
  1138. 45:55other one but they're going have to
  1139. 45:57endure us short for
  1140. 45:59endurance a cell like a prison cell
  1141. 46:01they're have they're going to have to
  1142. 46:02endure the cell locked up for the gospel
  1143. 46:05I mean these times are coming and
  1144. 46:08everybody can talk big till you get
  1145. 46:10locked up away from family you don't
  1146. 46:12have your Kumbaya guitar and your your
  1147. 46:14latest playlist you can play to the Lord
  1148. 46:16do you know him then when you're sitting
  1149. 46:17on a cold concrete floor baloney
  1150. 46:19sandwiches if that you know uh whoever's
  1151. 46:22mate you're with if not whatever pen
  1152. 46:24you're in we got to know God we have to
  1153. 46:27he's got to be our everything we have to
  1154. 46:29know Jesus we have to know him but
  1155. 46:33that's a whole another thing but
  1156. 46:34persecution and things are coming and
  1157. 46:37and uh and it'll be good may may he'll
  1158. 46:39give us Grace but we this whole dying to
  1159. 46:42self of the Lord turns and starts laying
  1160. 46:45out C says you got to eat my flesh and
  1161. 46:47drink my blood I mean they were talking
  1162. 46:48thought he was talking about cannibal
  1163. 46:49cannibalism in the word take up your
  1164. 46:52cross deny me and things like
  1165. 46:54this we we got to get over for us and
  1166. 46:57it's so good but anyway um let me move
  1167. 47:00let's look further now this is good I
  1168. 47:02don't know if I'll get through all of it
  1169. 47:03but we'll
  1170. 47:04start let's um look further into how
  1171. 47:07significant a life laid down yeah is in
  1172. 47:10regards to scripture so this is
  1173. 47:13powerful we'll start off with the Lord
  1174. 47:16himself but you'll you'll see in
  1175. 47:19Scripture that literally Jesus Earthly
  1176. 47:23Ministry we all know from history and in
  1177. 47:27just records he he lived probably around
  1178. 47:2833 years 30 years into the Earth and
  1179. 47:32three years of ministry
  1180. 47:34Ballpark and in his entire life Jesus
  1181. 47:39Christ the Flawless Lamb of God in the
  1182. 47:43earth his entire Ministry
  1183. 47:46life God from Heaven his father only
  1184. 47:52spoke three times audibly over his life
  1185. 47:56the this is
  1186. 47:57powerful and you'll notice in scripture
  1187. 48:00the only time his father split the sky
  1188. 48:03and spoke audibly for all to hear over
  1189. 48:06his
  1190. 48:06son every time only three times every
  1191. 48:10time he spoke it was in the context of
  1192. 48:12death to Jesus death to self I just hope
  1193. 48:16we see it in this way it's so it's so on
  1194. 48:19the God's heart it's so his way out of
  1195. 48:23all the times he could have spoke over
  1196. 48:24his son and needed to probably it's his
  1197. 48:28son what what triggered him to not only
  1198. 48:33speak audibly in such a notable way
  1199. 48:36every time was in the context of
  1200. 48:39death meaning this this whole death to
  1201. 48:42self is so powerful means so much it's
  1202. 48:43his way it's his plan and we want to be
  1203. 48:45about it so um I I have here it wasn't
  1204. 48:50when God spoke audibly over the son I
  1205. 48:53mean the father this is crazy the father
  1206. 48:55God of all creation spoke audibly over
  1207. 48:58his
  1208. 48:59son right it's one thing for ministers
  1209. 49:02to have heard the go the voice of God
  1210. 49:03audibly and plenty of had throughout
  1211. 49:05history but when God speaks audibly over
  1212. 49:09God there there's something going on
  1213. 49:11there you got to look at hold on why
  1214. 49:13number one he only did it three times
  1215. 49:15but every time he did it what was going
  1216. 49:17on it's like oh my gosh death it was the
  1217. 49:20context of death to self was present and
  1218. 49:23it causes God to split the sky and say
  1219. 49:25hey this is my son
  1220. 49:27this is my
  1221. 49:28son it it wasn't around healings God
  1222. 49:32never spoke audibly
  1223. 49:34Miracles multiplying food Devils being
  1224. 49:38cast out raising the dead even You' have
  1225. 49:42thought Lazarus after four days God
  1226. 49:44would have certainly said hey now I need
  1227. 49:45to be heard on this one too this is
  1228. 49:46crazy amaz you know my will be done or
  1229. 49:49something no God was silent all the
  1230. 49:52years and the only three times he spoke
  1231. 49:55over God the only three times God spoke
  1232. 49:57over God in the temporal world for the
  1233. 50:01perfect model for us as humans to walk
  1234. 50:03out as Christians and Believers was in
  1235. 50:05the context of dying to self- dying is
  1236. 50:10powerful not listen to this God didn't
  1237. 50:12even speak audibly when Jesus finally
  1238. 50:16floated Into The Cloud of Glory as he
  1239. 50:18returned to be seated with the father in
  1240. 50:20Acts
  1241. 50:21one9 uh This is Wild like Jesus left
  1242. 50:25heaven to to be born of a virgin and
  1243. 50:28walk in the Earth for 33 years in
  1244. 50:31physical
  1245. 50:33form right he's finally after all that
  1246. 50:36time and successfully lived with no sin
  1247. 50:38and was
  1248. 50:39crucified and now going to get
  1249. 50:41resurrected in beeded with his father
  1250. 50:44the joining again together theyve
  1251. 50:46they've been with each other since the
  1252. 50:48from be uh from the beginning of all
  1253. 50:50time and even then you'd think man he
  1254. 50:54his final welcome back home to be seated
  1255. 50:57with the father certainly the father
  1256. 50:59would speak audibly at that moment when
  1257. 51:00he gets ascended and caught into a cloud
  1258. 51:03no silent the only time God spoke was in
  1259. 51:06the context of death it's powerful God
  1260. 51:09sees it it's his way Isaiah 53 says it
  1261. 51:12pleased God to crush his son I know it
  1262. 51:15sounds backwards to us it's just the
  1263. 51:16heaven way it's the heaven way he's
  1264. 51:18looking for dead people it's how he
  1265. 51:20shines he just trust him in his word get
  1266. 51:22let's get over us and trust him in his
  1267. 51:24word and his way in the perfect model
  1268. 51:26walked out through Jesus Christ who
  1269. 51:28stood here and he wouldn't finish till
  1270. 51:30he went to a
  1271. 51:31cross his whole his whole life was to to
  1272. 51:34end up in death how can I so die to me
  1273. 51:38till I finally give it all up that's
  1274. 51:40what this thing is Will some ultimately
  1275. 51:43be martyred for the gospel oh you but
  1276. 51:45nevertheless if we aren't may we be on
  1277. 51:47this road to like how can
  1278. 51:49I be fully dead then when I see him be
  1279. 51:53more dead to me CU that's where he can
  1280. 51:55shine fully that's where I'm most free
  1281. 51:57it's it's the perfect design of of the
  1282. 51:59Christian
  1283. 52:01life so anyway
  1284. 52:06um ah oh yeah also this this is powerful
  1285. 52:10just looking back when the when God
  1286. 52:12ripped the heavens open open and spoke
  1287. 52:14over God only three times and all of it
  1288. 52:17was around the context or imagery or
  1289. 52:20symbolism of
  1290. 52:21death also God didn't even speak while
  1291. 52:24Jesus was on the cross you would have
  1292. 52:26thought like okay here is the time where
  1293. 52:29he's fulfilling it at least like this
  1294. 52:31would be a powerful time for God to
  1295. 52:32speak and make a real resounding amen
  1296. 52:36something something of notoriety from
  1297. 52:39heaven but we know this was the time and
  1298. 52:42the only time that the father actually
  1299. 52:45forsook him that he might become sin for
  1300. 52:48us even though he never knew sin so
  1301. 52:52that's another reason why God didn't
  1302. 52:53speak at that moment of the cross that
  1303. 52:55was the Pinnacle
  1304. 52:57because he had to forsake Him that was
  1305. 52:59the moment he he who knew no sin had to
  1306. 53:01become sin and and he said why have you
  1307. 53:03forsaken me so God surely he wasn't
  1308. 53:06going to speak then but the three times
  1309. 53:08prior around death this is so big may
  1310. 53:11God be booming his voice out over us
  1311. 53:13figuratively speaking because we're
  1312. 53:15we're walking like Jesus and giving our
  1313. 53:16life up for him and others in this
  1314. 53:20gospel
  1315. 53:23um but yeah I touched on this earlier
  1316. 53:26many reasons why dying to self is so
  1317. 53:28critical but the number one reason is
  1318. 53:30because it is what real love looks like
  1319. 53:32true love is to lay its life down for
  1320. 53:35another you say why die to self main one
  1321. 53:38love and again there's many other um
  1322. 53:42reasons loving him and others is the
  1323. 53:44highest goal and this is not attainable
  1324. 53:46outside of us not dying love seeks not
  1325. 53:48its own TR truly loving God and Tru
  1326. 53:51loving truly loving others is not
  1327. 53:54attainable outside of um dying to self
  1328. 53:57becoming a dead
  1329. 53:58vessel that's why marriages work
  1330. 54:01beautifully if you got two dead vessels
  1331. 54:03you can become one
  1332. 54:05finally marriages that and again I'm
  1333. 54:09just using that because that would be
  1334. 54:10like the climatic Rel
  1335. 54:12relational imagery outside of us as a
  1336. 54:16bride to the
  1337. 54:18Lord but a lot the the main reason
  1338. 54:20marriages don't work is because one or
  1339. 54:23both won't die that's what it is
  1340. 54:27at the end of the day and a lot of times
  1341. 54:29why they won't die is cuz they don't
  1342. 54:30have that white cord plugged in real
  1343. 54:31tight either which is intimacy that
  1344. 54:32fuels the ability to die and then
  1345. 54:34something's off with the ground wire the
  1346. 54:36renewal of the mind all three of those
  1347. 54:37something's going on typically typically
  1348. 54:39you can go right there the devil's not
  1349. 54:41the issue you can buy and rebuke all you
  1350. 54:43want typically we won't die we're
  1351. 54:45selfish we want it our way we're full of
  1352. 54:47Pride which is totally self selfish and
  1353. 54:50pride are best friends they're they're
  1354. 54:53like two cords in the same braid that
  1355. 54:55they they run together peanut butter and
  1356. 54:57jelly selfishness and
  1357. 54:59pride and um cuz why would I I Know It
  1358. 55:03All Me self why would I Repent because I
  1359. 55:06may look bad I care more about me than
  1360. 55:08being truthful where freedom is and
  1361. 55:10laying my and humbl on myself and so
  1362. 55:12there's just so much to
  1363. 55:14it um but anyway let's first look at the
  1364. 55:17uh first time God spoke audibly Mark 1:
  1365. 55:209- 11 please Mark
  1366. 55:231 9-1
  1367. 55:29[Music]
  1368. 55:40this is kind of good because I can teach
  1369. 55:42longer um but if I'm I'm going too much
  1370. 55:44for you all I me we will have the
  1371. 55:47archive and you could give me a little
  1372. 55:48feedback maybe at some point I can talk
  1373. 55:49to you guys maybe in church or something
  1374. 55:51but I can definitely keep it still to an
  1375. 55:53hour what's cool is without the dreams
  1376. 55:55and visions and all that on the back end
  1377. 55:56I can teach longer so I don't know how
  1378. 55:58it's going on your guys
  1379. 56:00end um but uh Mark 1 9 through
  1380. 56:0511 uh it came to pass in those days that
  1381. 56:08Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and
  1382. 56:11was baptized by John what is baptism
  1383. 56:14symbolism of
  1384. 56:15death which we're doing Saturday night
  1385. 56:18is going to be powerful I think like 30
  1386. 56:19some odd people are going to die in
  1387. 56:22Christ and come alive
  1388. 56:25new um
  1389. 56:27and was baptized by John in the Jordan
  1390. 56:29and immediately coming up from the water
  1391. 56:31he saw the heavens parting and the
  1392. 56:32spirit descending upon him like a dove
  1393. 56:34then a voice Came From Heaven you are my
  1394. 56:35beloved Son in whom I well pleased see
  1395. 56:38Jesus boom he who knew no sin he still
  1396. 56:41he models it for us the life of dying so
  1397. 56:44you can come alive in Christ Heaven
  1398. 56:47split God
  1399. 56:48speaks it's like wow like you know what
  1400. 56:52I mean you start to realize every time
  1401. 56:54God gets excited splits lits the sky and
  1402. 56:57makes sure his voice is heard audibly
  1403. 56:59where God speaks over God it's only
  1404. 57:01around death it's wild it's wild but you
  1405. 57:06are my beloved Son in whom I'm well
  1406. 57:08pleased what pleases God a life laid
  1407. 57:13down how do we align as true Sons and
  1408. 57:16Daughters to our father lay our lives
  1409. 57:20down how do I become a son of my Father
  1410. 57:23in Heaven I know I know I am on paper
  1411. 57:26I I know technically I'm the son and
  1412. 57:29he's my father but how do I align to it
  1413. 57:31relationally on my end to where his
  1414. 57:34voice booms in a sense from Heaven over
  1415. 57:37me you are my son you just came under my
  1416. 57:41true
  1417. 57:43fathership what did you do in the earth
  1418. 57:45that brought you into alignment as my
  1419. 57:48son that's a better way to look at it I
  1420. 57:49know on paper he's our he's God the
  1421. 57:52Father we're Sons and Daughters of God
  1422. 57:55but what triggered it in the Earth for
  1423. 57:58God to split the sky with his Audible
  1424. 58:01Voice and say yep you are my son you are
  1425. 58:03my daughter and also furthermore I'm
  1426. 58:05well pleased with you oh you're dying to
  1427. 58:08you death to baptism that's what it is a
  1428. 58:11symbolism of death to come alive in God
  1429. 58:16and so and I want to hit these three
  1430. 58:18points that I believe we can apply
  1431. 58:19personally to make them more personal in
  1432. 58:22stages of like deeper
  1433. 58:25death and and the beauty in it you know
  1434. 58:27I just want to remove the whole like any
  1435. 58:30negative connotation or upon it because
  1436. 58:32this is the Glorious way it's it's like
  1437. 58:34the greatest accomplishment of all is to
  1438. 58:36become a dead company it's really
  1439. 58:39beautiful but um I I see it is is going
  1440. 58:42deep you know Jesus modeled it for you
  1441. 58:44and I that we're stepping into deeper
  1442. 58:47stages of death until the final one the
  1443. 58:50cross which you take up your cross daily
  1444. 58:53then there's a new one next month you
  1445. 58:55know and it's just it's glor
  1446. 58:56thank God they never end CU we we don't
  1447. 58:59ever want to get off this track of dying
  1448. 59:01to self it's the it's the Glorious
  1449. 59:04way but anyway first one
  1450. 59:07um first time God speaks audibly and I
  1451. 59:11want us to see it like this in in the
  1452. 59:13Journey of the Lord through his Earthly
  1453. 59:15Ministry it happened three
  1454. 59:17times and each stage let's look look at
  1455. 59:21them as phases of of maturing by way of
  1456. 59:24deeper death and you'll see they
  1457. 59:26literally trigger God's voice and de his
  1458. 59:28voice deepens with meaning and reason
  1459. 59:31and I believe we can apply it personally
  1460. 59:33by watching Jesus as the model the
  1461. 59:35greater you and I will lay our life down
  1462. 59:37into this thing called denying or dying
  1463. 59:40to self I believe you you truly hit
  1464. 59:43deeper stages of triggering God's
  1465. 59:47audible some of you will have God speak
  1466. 59:49audibly but you know what I'm saying um
  1467. 59:50figurative God's voice essentially
  1468. 59:54speaking over you and backing you in a
  1469. 59:56deeper way because you're aligning with
  1470. 59:58his perfect way which is dying to
  1471. 1:00:00self but um the first one when we align
  1472. 1:00:04ourselves with death which is exactly
  1473. 1:00:07and precisely what baptism is we align
  1474. 1:00:10ourselves into sunship and the pleasing
  1475. 1:00:12of God
  1476. 1:00:14himself so it really pleases God and
  1477. 1:00:16aligns us to as Sons and Daughters
  1478. 1:00:19relationally we know again contractually
  1479. 1:00:22we are but when we choose death to self
  1480. 1:00:25it triggers sunship and God being well
  1481. 1:00:28pleased it aligns us to God truly as our
  1482. 1:00:32father a better way to put it it allow
  1483. 1:00:35it aligns us to allow him to really be
  1484. 1:00:37that father it's a better way to look at
  1485. 1:00:40it by dying to when we don't want to die
  1486. 1:00:42to oursel he he's our father he loves us
  1487. 1:00:45he doesn't move he he's the same he
  1488. 1:00:46doesn't change he's no he's no shifting
  1489. 1:00:48Shadow
  1490. 1:00:49nothing but when we choose death to self
  1491. 1:00:52in this earth we align under him as our
  1492. 1:00:54father and not only that he says I'm
  1493. 1:00:56well pleased he goes now you're my son I
  1494. 1:00:59know we know you're my son over there my
  1495. 1:01:02daughter but you truly didn't activate
  1496. 1:01:04this relational father to son or father
  1497. 1:01:06to daughter till you chose dying to self
  1498. 1:01:08and now you got in a line and I can
  1499. 1:01:10truly be a father and you you'll see it
  1500. 1:01:12unlock in a whole new way and also
  1501. 1:01:15furthermore just you know I'm very well
  1502. 1:01:17pleased very well pleased with
  1503. 1:01:21you when we choose dying to I'm telling
  1504. 1:01:23you it triggers something on the
  1505. 1:01:24heavenly side is powerful it is
  1506. 1:01:26almost see like the father standing up
  1507. 1:01:29and he can't hold it back anymore he's
  1508. 1:01:30not silent
  1509. 1:01:32anymore so much so that his his voice
  1510. 1:01:35audibly reverberates through from the
  1511. 1:01:37Eternal and breaks open into the
  1512. 1:01:39temporal it's a big
  1513. 1:01:42deal but uh it it aligns us to God truly
  1514. 1:01:46as our father us as his beloved sons and
  1515. 1:01:48daughters and his simultaneously well
  1516. 1:01:50pleasing to God so that's the first
  1517. 1:01:52phase it aligns us to our father the way
  1518. 1:01:55we should be and he's very well
  1519. 1:01:57pleased um second one Luke 9: 23- 24
  1520. 1:02:02let's read that
  1521. 1:02:05together Luke chapter 9: 23-
  1522. 1:02:0924 through 34 I'm sorry 23 through
  1523. 1:02:1734 um then he said to them all and watch
  1524. 1:02:21this this is powerful what Jesus is
  1525. 1:02:22doing here then he said to them all if
  1526. 1:02:26anyone desires to come after me let him
  1527. 1:02:29deny himself and take up his cross daily
  1528. 1:02:31and follow
  1529. 1:02:32me for whoever desires to save his life
  1530. 1:02:35will lose it listen to the context he's
  1531. 1:02:37totally talking about denying yourself
  1532. 1:02:39if you want to keep your life you'll
  1533. 1:02:40lose it but if you lose your life you'll
  1534. 1:02:41gain it whoever wants to follow me take
  1535. 1:02:44up your cross daily you can hear the
  1536. 1:02:45context of everything he's talking
  1537. 1:02:47about 24 for whoever Desir to save his
  1538. 1:02:50life will lose it whoever loses his life
  1539. 1:02:51for my sake will save it verse 25 for
  1540. 1:02:53what profit is it to a man if he gains
  1541. 1:02:55the whole world world and himself
  1542. 1:02:56destroyed or
  1543. 1:02:58lost verse 26 here's another one where
  1544. 1:03:00Jesus does not me words though he's not
  1545. 1:03:02trying to go seek or friendly for
  1546. 1:03:04whoever is ashamed of me and my words of

  1570. 1:03:58the Holy Angels not the Angels the Holy
  1571. 1:04:02Angels um verse 27 but I tell you truly

  1574. 1:04:08kingdom of God well remember that please
  1575. 1:04:11because we're really going into it now
  1576. 1:04:12where God audibly spoke but remember

  1584. 1:04:31context of what he's talking about now
  1585. 1:04:32watch verse
  1586. 1:04:3428 now it came to pa uh to pass about 8
  1587. 1:04:38days after these sayings you can
  1588. 1:04:41underline that highlight that if you
  1589. 1:04:42want after what after these
  1590. 1:04:46sayings came to eight days pass but it
  1591. 1:04:48was after these
  1592. 1:04:50sayings of deny yourself take up your
  1593. 1:04:52cross daily lose your life so you can
  1594. 1:04:55gain it here in the Earth right that he
  1595. 1:04:59took Peter John and James and went up on
  1596. 1:05:01the mountain to pray as he prayed verse
  1597. 1:05:0429 the appearance of his face was
  1598. 1:05:06altered and his robe became White and
  1599. 1:05:07glistening verse 30 and behold two men
  1600. 1:05:09talked with him who were Moses and
  1601. 1:05:11Elijah who appeared in glory and spoke
  1602. 1:05:15of his
  1603. 1:05:17decease which he was about to accomplish
  1604. 1:05:22at Jerusalem this we've got this thing
  1605. 1:05:24so backwards in the Earth
  1606. 1:05:26Heaven sees dying to you as an
  1607. 1:05:30accomplishment not his decease which he
  1608. 1:05:33was about to undergo at Jerusalem no
  1609. 1:05:35accomplish complete make full if you if
  1610. 1:05:38you study that word out it's like an
  1611. 1:05:41incredible accomplishment feature feat
  1612. 1:05:45winning fully bringing into full
  1613. 1:05:49fruition but but more importantly
  1614. 1:05:52backing up I love that Luke's gospel
  1615. 1:05:54gives us the most detailed t on if it's
  1616. 1:05:56cuz he was a doctor and he hears death
  1617. 1:05:57and it just you know once it later was
  1618. 1:05:59broke
  1619. 1:06:00down this same account in other ones it
  1620. 1:06:03doesn't say what Moses and Elijah came
  1621. 1:06:04to actually talk to him about and so we
  1622. 1:06:07get caught up and we should and I love
  1623. 1:06:08it into the glistening face and the
  1624. 1:06:10glory of Moses and Elijah and Peter
  1625. 1:06:12talking about making tents but you have
  1626. 1:06:13to sit back and look at why did this
  1627. 1:06:16happen why did they show up on the
  1628. 1:06:18mountain why was he in prayer oh yeah it
  1629. 1:06:21was after these
  1630. 1:06:23sayings about dying to setting the
  1631. 1:06:27precedent on don't don't don't save your
  1632. 1:06:29life here I'm telling you lose it here
  1633. 1:06:31so you can gain it deny yourself take up
  1634. 1:06:34your cross daily then eight days later
  1635. 1:06:36after these sayings he goes to the top
  1636. 1:06:39why Moses and Elijah come what's this
  1637. 1:06:41whole meeting about
  1638. 1:06:44oh to talk with him about his
  1639. 1:06:49decease his death which he was about to
  1640. 1:06:52accomplish at
  1641. 1:06:54Jerusalem so this is why Moses and
  1642. 1:06:56Elijah came they came to talk to him
  1643. 1:06:58about the the most profound thing he was
  1644. 1:07:00ever going to accomplish of course with
  1645. 1:07:03the resurrection and all of it but his
  1646. 1:07:05decease his departing his death and then
  1647. 1:07:08we read
  1648. 1:07:09further Peter wakes up from asleep wow
  1649. 1:07:13let me make tents this is crazy you know
  1650. 1:07:16verse 33 then it happened as they were
  1651. 1:07:17parting from him that Peter said to
  1652. 1:07:18Jesus Master it's good for us to be here
  1653. 1:07:20let us make three Tabernacles one for
  1654. 1:07:21you one for Moses dot do da verse 34
  1655. 1:07:24while he was saying this a cloud came
  1656. 1:07:27overshadowed them and they were fearful
  1657. 1:07:29it's the fear of
  1658. 1:07:31God Cloud of Glory came and they weren't
  1659. 1:07:34like Wow Let's play in it no the fear of
  1660. 1:07:35the Lord hit them that's another
  1661. 1:07:37teaching as they entered the cloud but
  1662. 1:07:39watch verse 35 and a voice came out of
  1663. 1:07:41the
  1664. 1:07:42cloud saying this is my beloved Son hear
  1665. 1:07:47him when the voice had ceased Jesus was
  1666. 1:07:50found
  1667. 1:07:51alone that that whole thing so it's wild
  1668. 1:07:54but um but here it is again wait a
  1669. 1:07:57minute why is God all of a sudden
  1670. 1:08:00standing up out of heaven and he can't
  1671. 1:08:01contain himself his voice must boom from
  1672. 1:08:04Eternal and break through into the
  1673. 1:08:05temporal and be heard
  1674. 1:08:06audibly for all to hear oh it's around a
  1675. 1:08:10powwow meeting on the top of the
  1676. 1:08:12mountain talking about Jesus's death and
  1677. 1:08:14what he was about to accomplish in his
  1678. 1:08:16death right his deceased after what
  1679. 1:08:19sayings oh yeah everything about
  1680. 1:08:22death 8 days after these sayings death
  1681. 1:08:25death deny yourself lose your life so we
  1682. 1:08:28may you know you may gain it and after
  1683. 1:08:30these saying he goes you know what let
  1684. 1:08:31me go ahead and finalize my heavenly con
  1685. 1:08:35conversation with the two witnesses from
  1686. 1:08:38Revelation and they're going to talk to
  1687. 1:08:40me about what my death my deceased
  1688. 1:08:42coming and once again here comes God he
  1689. 1:08:45can't contain himself the excitement
  1690. 1:08:46almost the pleasure the affirming in
  1691. 1:08:51this he breaks he breaks open interrupts
  1692. 1:08:54the whole meeting again while Peter's
  1693. 1:08:55just just doesn't know what's going on
  1694. 1:08:56he comes he wakes up on the back end of
  1695. 1:08:57it all and he says this is my beloved
  1696. 1:09:00Son hear
  1697. 1:09:02him and so I want to stop here again I
  1698. 1:09:05look at this as deeper phases of walking
  1699. 1:09:08in God and following the Lord as we deny
  1700. 1:09:10oursel and I'm so thankful um because I
  1701. 1:09:14look at like now and he's so crucified
  1702. 1:09:17me and life has in so many ways like the
  1703. 1:09:19the greater death that he's teaching me
  1704. 1:09:22to walk in now and I've got so far to go
  1705. 1:09:25but and many of you can relate but if
  1706. 1:09:29we'll allow him to take us
  1707. 1:09:31deeper into denying ourself and taking
  1708. 1:09:34up our cross and just dying you you go
  1709. 1:09:36into these deeper phases where
  1710. 1:09:39now God not only says look you're my
  1711. 1:09:43beloved Son whom I'm well pleased he re
  1712. 1:09:45he re he re reiterates that sorry again
  1713. 1:09:48says my beloved Son but now he says hear
  1714. 1:09:52him it it cranks up a notch see at first
  1715. 1:09:56baptism the symbolism of it all and he's
  1716. 1:09:59not quite to it it's
  1717. 1:10:01like you know it it
  1718. 1:10:04goes and he he affirms him as my beloved
  1719. 1:10:08Son and I'm well pleased with
  1720. 1:10:11you but the deeper we go in death it it
  1721. 1:10:14turns into not only God being well
  1722. 1:10:16pleased but now him declaring hear him
  1723. 1:10:19hear her listen to an extra backing
  1724. 1:10:22comes upon what's on your life it just
  1725. 1:10:26and when God does that nobody can stop
  1726. 1:10:28it and and I'm I'm telling you I'm
  1727. 1:10:29convinced that many
  1728. 1:10:31people aren't there yet in death and
  1729. 1:10:33that's okay I just said I've got a long
  1730. 1:10:35way to
  1731. 1:10:36go but a lot of us because of what we've
  1732. 1:10:39seen in God and what we know and I've
  1733. 1:10:40been here plenty and we think we need to
  1734. 1:10:42be heard but we're not dead enough yet
  1735. 1:10:46and so until God from Heaven is saying
  1736. 1:10:48hear him hear her you're you're spinning
  1737. 1:10:50your wheels you can get all your
  1738. 1:10:52websites and do all your clickbait stuff
  1739. 1:10:55and networking and get your Social Media
  1740. 1:10:57stuff rocking do whatever you want to
  1741. 1:10:58try and be heard and you may get some
  1742. 1:11:01stuff going that that could be woodh and
  1743. 1:11:04stubble but until God from Earth uh from
  1744. 1:11:07Heaven sorry says hear him or hear her
  1745. 1:11:10in heaven backs you in that way
  1746. 1:11:13typically you you won't have much of of
  1747. 1:11:16um you won't be heard I mean simply
  1748. 1:11:20put and so I I love this deeper to look
  1749. 1:11:23at it in this way this deeper stage of
  1750. 1:11:24death
  1751. 1:11:26it literally causes God to not only go
  1752. 1:11:28from the first one of well pleased
  1753. 1:11:30you're my son you're my daughter I'm
  1754. 1:11:32very well pleased with that but now
  1755. 1:11:34you're my son and daughter I'm well
  1756. 1:11:35pleased but listen Earth hear him hear
  1757. 1:11:39her because I shine I shine more fully
  1758. 1:11:43through dead
  1759. 1:11:44vessels and the the deeper we walk in
  1760. 1:11:47death it it triggers Heaven's backing
  1761. 1:11:50more and this I believe is where a lot
  1762. 1:11:52of people end up getting called and
  1763. 1:11:54commissioned because when When Heaven
  1764. 1:11:56says hear him or hear her you can't stop
  1765. 1:11:59it it's going to happen when Heaven
  1766. 1:12:01backs it you can't stop you don't need
  1767. 1:12:02to start your own thing Heaven sends you
  1768. 1:12:05he booms from the Eternal realm hear him
  1769. 1:12:08hear her and and when God does that you
  1770. 1:12:12don't have to work it and do it he does
  1771. 1:12:15it and so I I just think often a lot of
  1772. 1:12:18us the Revelation may be there the
  1773. 1:12:21walking and knowing with God but the
  1774. 1:12:22death is not there yet deep enough for
  1775. 1:12:25having to say hear him hear her and so
  1776. 1:12:28often you'll feel not heard that's my
  1777. 1:12:30whole point and I've been there I I get
  1778. 1:12:31it and you feel like man people have no
  1779. 1:12:33clue what all I carry and what all
  1780. 1:12:35that's great but you may want to pray
  1781. 1:12:37about dying to self more because that's
  1782. 1:12:39what God's looking for that's what
  1783. 1:12:41causes him to split the sky and speak
  1784. 1:12:42over his
  1785. 1:12:44children not amazing feats and talents
  1786. 1:12:47and crismas that he gives you and
  1787. 1:12:48they're amazing to you and once
  1788. 1:12:49enveloped in death but dead people he
  1789. 1:12:52gets you can see it he gets excited
  1790. 1:12:53about it he backs it
  1791. 1:12:56CU it's his perfect
  1792. 1:12:58way and
  1793. 1:13:00um but it's like this deeper phase it
  1794. 1:13:03triggers heaven to say hear him hear her
  1795. 1:13:05and then you're like you're trying to
  1796. 1:13:07slow it down because you're like wait
  1797. 1:13:08what happened I'm not doing much
  1798. 1:13:09different and God's like oh yeah you
  1799. 1:13:11died differently you died more you
  1800. 1:13:13finally got over you this is a lot of
  1801. 1:13:15times too our certain stages we just
  1802. 1:13:17fight fight fight to make this work and
  1803. 1:13:18that and he's just waiting for us to die
  1804. 1:13:20and get over it all and then when that
  1805. 1:13:22happens he's like finally hear him hear
  1806. 1:13:24her
  1807. 1:13:25and it doesn't even have to be from a
  1808. 1:13:27ministerial standpoint it's just
  1809. 1:13:28whatever the call is it triggers a
  1810. 1:13:29deeper backing from God is my point it's
  1811. 1:13:34incredible sorry if that was
  1812. 1:13:38loud so um so I love this man it's just
  1813. 1:13:41incredible so the second time God speaks
  1814. 1:13:44he's like wait a minute hold on are they
  1815. 1:13:46yep of course he knew but I'm I'm trying
  1816. 1:13:48to just build it for like more of a
  1817. 1:13:50story type
  1818. 1:13:51setting are they Moses and Elijah they
  1819. 1:13:54came now yeah and he was just talking
  1820. 1:13:56about these saying
  1821. 1:13:58death good job son that's disciples and
  1822. 1:14:02if they stick to it they'll make
  1823. 1:14:03disciples of many nations yep deny
  1824. 1:14:06yourself that's right lose it listen I
  1825. 1:14:08know it makes no sense I know the world
  1826. 1:14:09s everything else but but this is my
  1827. 1:14:12way this is my way I didn't send my son
  1828. 1:14:16to go in there and be some champion in
  1829. 1:14:17the earth I sent him to go all the way
  1830. 1:14:20to the end ride a cult that nobody ever
  1831. 1:14:22rode a mule and die this is my way look
  1832. 1:14:26at my son so phase one if we align with
  1833. 1:14:30death it triggers God's pleasure and
  1834. 1:14:33fatherhood like you've never known in
  1835. 1:14:35your alignment as a son or a daughter
  1836. 1:14:37that identity is aligned with in death a
  1837. 1:14:40lot of us know the verses and We Know It
  1838. 1:14:43by head knowledge our identity and we'll
  1839. 1:14:45quote it and say it but until you die
  1840. 1:14:47you don't really align with it in
  1841. 1:14:49relational way so you won't feel the the
  1842. 1:14:51of the unction the flow of a true father
  1843. 1:14:54and a son or daughter cu true Sons and
  1844. 1:14:55Daughters of God they die and he goes
  1845. 1:14:57well pleased got it well pleased phase
  1846. 1:15:00two Moses and Elijah come in he goes Yep
  1847. 1:15:03this I've been waiting for this moment I
  1848. 1:15:04had said nothing in like a year and a
  1849. 1:15:06half there they go Yep they're talking
  1850. 1:15:09about his deceased that he will
  1851. 1:15:12accomplish yeah not have to undergo
  1852. 1:15:14accomplish champion
  1853. 1:15:19champion and then he couldn't Peter
  1854. 1:15:22jumped in for a little bit and God
  1855. 1:15:23couldn't withhold himself he had a boom
  1856. 1:15:26my beloved Son hear him listen to him
  1857. 1:15:30because of death he he booms the voice
  1858. 1:15:32again secondly over death last
  1859. 1:15:33one
  1860. 1:15:47John yeah his glory can only shine in a
  1861. 1:15:50quality way through dead vessels I'm
  1862. 1:15:52skipping a bunch of notes here just from
  1863. 1:15:53what's in me but
  1864. 1:15:58um yeah I have here from from before
  1865. 1:16:01that second phase of hear him a lot of
  1866. 1:16:03times it's it's don't hear him or heard
  1867. 1:16:05just yet there's still much of them in
  1868. 1:16:06the way I can't use living vessels my
  1869. 1:16:10glory can only shine in a quality way
  1870. 1:16:12through dead
  1871. 1:16:13vessels but when we get closer to that
  1872. 1:16:16fulfillment of death in a deeper way you
  1873. 1:16:18start talking to Saints from the other
  1874. 1:16:20side about the accomplished decease
  1875. 1:16:22you're about to step into he's like hear
  1876. 1:16:24him listen to them now I've got a vessel
  1877. 1:16:27I can flow through uh lastly John
  1878. 1:16:3312 um verse verses 23- 28 and we'll land
  1879. 1:16:51it so good so good
  1880. 1:16:55John 12:
  1881. 1:16:5723-28 but Jesus answered them saying the
  1882. 1:17:00hour has come that the son of man should
  1883. 1:17:02be glorified he's right towards the end
  1884. 1:17:04now and he's about to yeah give up the
  1885. 1:17:08the ghost as the King James would say
  1886. 1:17:11most assuredly I say to you and listen
  1887. 1:17:13to what he's talking about again we're
  1888. 1:17:14leading into the third time the father
  1889. 1:17:17booms his voice out of heaven and look
  1890. 1:17:20what's the Lord talking about oh yeah
  1891. 1:17:21dying to you dying to so verse 24 for
  1892. 1:17:25most ass surely I say to you unless a
  1893. 1:17:26grain of wheat falls into the ground and
  1894. 1:17:28dies it remains alone but if it dies it
  1895. 1:17:31produces much
  1896. 1:17:32grain he who loves his life will lose it
  1897. 1:17:35and he who hates his life in this world
  1898. 1:17:37will keep it for eternal life the world
  1899. 1:17:39will not tell you that get you and yours
  1900. 1:17:41as quick as you can it's all about you
  1901. 1:17:44do what you what feels right do what's
  1902. 1:17:46best for you this ain't the book this is
  1903. 1:17:48not the god way this is not Jesus Jesus
  1904. 1:17:50is this right
  1905. 1:17:53here he who loves his life will lose it
  1906. 1:17:56he he'll tell you right now the world's
  1907. 1:17:57where you're going to lose it but if you
  1908. 1:17:59hate your life in this world you'll keep
  1909. 1:18:01it for eternal life it's awesome it's so
  1910. 1:18:04powerful verse 26 if anyone serves me
  1911. 1:18:06let him follow me and where I am there
  1912. 1:18:08my servant will be also if anyone serves
  1913. 1:18:10me uh him my father will
  1914. 1:18:12honor verse 27 watch this closely now my
  1915. 1:18:17soul is troubled and what shall I
  1916. 1:18:20say father save me from this
  1917. 1:18:23hour that's it's a question though
  1918. 1:18:25listen to this it's really really
  1919. 1:18:26powerful you read read it slow father
  1920. 1:18:29save me from this hour it's a question
  1921. 1:18:31he's he's
  1922. 1:18:33praying now my soul is troubled and what
  1923. 1:18:35shall I say father save me from from
  1924. 1:18:37this hour question that wasn't a
  1925. 1:18:39statement he he's kind of asking the
  1926. 1:18:41father but then he hurries up because
  1927. 1:18:43the father doesn't answer that father
  1928. 1:18:45doesn't speak over that he speaks over
  1929. 1:18:46death but for now he makes a statement
  1930. 1:18:49and he he says to God he asks God save
  1931. 1:18:51me from this hour and then he catches
  1932. 1:18:54himself that way the humanity side he
  1933. 1:18:55was 100% man 100% God but he catches
  1934. 1:18:59himself and makes a statement to God
  1935. 1:19:01that's a prayer but for this purpose I
  1936. 1:19:03came to this
  1937. 1:19:05hour father glorify your
  1938. 1:19:08name then a voice Came From Heaven
  1939. 1:19:10saying I have both glorified it and will
  1940. 1:19:12glorify it
  1941. 1:19:14again this this third and final stage of
  1942. 1:19:17death right up to death's door where we
  1943. 1:19:19can fully just die to it all deny
  1944. 1:19:21ourself and die die to
  1945. 1:19:23oursel is is where God fully gets Glory
  1946. 1:19:26through you he glor he gets Glory
  1947. 1:19:29through you and from you his name gets
  1948. 1:19:32glorified so it's the well pleased
  1949. 1:19:35father to son and father to
  1950. 1:19:38daughter alignment stage one deeper
  1951. 1:19:41phase father son alignment well pleased
  1952. 1:19:45my beloved hear them third and final he
  1953. 1:19:50gets full Glory through through the the
  1954. 1:19:53complete dead vessel
  1955. 1:19:55and may we be it over and over and over
  1956. 1:19:57again in this this life before we step
  1957. 1:19:58over there's our only chance we got we
  1958. 1:20:00have to die to us when we fully die he
  1959. 1:20:04gets full glory and his name gets full
  1960. 1:20:06Glory he gets glorified through dead
  1961. 1:20:09vessels and from dead vessels his name
  1962. 1:20:11gets
  1963. 1:20:12glory and so I love this he's like
  1964. 1:20:15Father save me from this save me from
  1965. 1:20:16this hour like he's asking and then he
  1966. 1:20:19catches himself and he says no but for
  1967. 1:20:21this purpose I
  1968. 1:20:23came Why is my so troubled to die but
  1969. 1:20:27for this purpose I came and then he
  1970. 1:20:28sealed it and this is what the father
  1971. 1:20:30was waiting for he hadn't spoke since
  1972. 1:20:31the last time the father's waiting and
  1973. 1:20:34Jesus sealed it right here he he could
  1974. 1:20:36have stopped father save me from this
  1975. 1:20:38hour and just waited and who knows what
  1976. 1:20:41what would have
  1977. 1:20:42transpired but God knew he was going to
  1978. 1:20:44walk it out perfectly he was crucified
  1979. 1:20:46before the foundations of the Earth but
  1980. 1:20:47he goes but for this purpose I came to
  1981. 1:20:50this hour and he right when he said
  1982. 1:20:52these words it was done
  1983. 1:20:55way before chapter 13 and everything
  1984. 1:20:58precedes right when he said these words
  1985. 1:21:01in verse 20 28 it's sealed all of Heaven
  1986. 1:21:03for the purpose to be complete there's
  1987. 1:21:05no backing out now father glor he prayed
  1988. 1:21:08it father glorify your name he prayed it
  1989. 1:21:12by statement form then a voice split the
  1990. 1:21:15sky again from Heaven saying I have both
  1991. 1:21:17glorified it and will glorify it
  1992. 1:21:20again so I love this it's so beautiful
  1993. 1:21:24just to start session one with like oh
  1994. 1:21:26my gosh the only three times God the
  1995. 1:21:29Father spoke over God the son was such
  1996. 1:21:33excitement affirmation and backing in
  1997. 1:21:35every time it was in through and around
  1998. 1:21:39death because it's God's way Isaiah 53
  1999. 1:21:42it pleased him to crush his
  2000. 1:21:44son because he's some morbid strain no
  2001. 1:21:47because it's love it's what love does it
  2002. 1:21:49lays its life down this Kingdom we serve
  2003. 1:21:53this this Jesus we follow is so
  2004. 1:21:55backwards and that's what's incredible
  2005. 1:21:56there's nothing like him nothing like
  2006. 1:21:58the father nothing like the
  2007. 1:22:01spirit this this the the best way to
  2008. 1:22:05give him glory and find life is to lose
  2009. 1:22:08ours like help us Lord get over us in
  2010. 1:22:11every
  2011. 1:22:12way and we're going to go deeper in into
  2012. 1:22:15it in the next few weeks but um but
  2013. 1:22:17again to recap I look at it as deeper
  2014. 1:22:20stages like I said of death and maybe we
  2015. 1:22:22go deeper into it I feel like some of us
  2016. 1:22:23are through the first two right where
  2017. 1:22:27we've aligned properly as Sons and
  2018. 1:22:30Daughters to Our Father who who's sees
  2019. 1:22:32us as his beloved and he's well pleased
  2020. 1:22:36and we've walked through life and
  2021. 1:22:37embraced the cross and taken it up and
  2022. 1:22:39denied oursel daily and got to the
  2023. 1:22:41second phase of deeper where he says oh
  2024. 1:22:43yeah not only am I well pleased and
  2025. 1:22:45you're aligned properly as a son and
  2026. 1:22:46daughter to me as your father you are
  2027. 1:22:49are my beloved but take notice Earth
  2028. 1:22:52hear him hear her
  2029. 1:22:54and this is where things shift that
  2030. 1:22:56second one things shift when when God
  2031. 1:22:59from Heaven essentially it doesn't have
  2032. 1:23:00to be audibly when he starts saying hear
  2033. 1:23:02him hear her things change in the earth
  2034. 1:23:05I'm telling you get ready because you
  2035. 1:23:06can't SE Bel that you can't stop it it
  2036. 1:23:10God will God will not only find you but
  2037. 1:23:13make you be found you don't have to have
  2038. 1:23:15all the network employees the next next
  2039. 1:23:18uh next best sorry networking gimmick
  2040. 1:23:21gimmickry no God can have you be found
  2041. 1:23:23out trust me
  2042. 1:23:25he he's got his he's got ways he can
  2043. 1:23:27start an Asberry that nobody has a clue
  2044. 1:23:29on the Backwoods of some podon town you
  2045. 1:23:32know for lack of better terms I'm just
  2046. 1:23:34trying to in a good way I'm sure it's an
  2047. 1:23:36amazing town but you know what I mean
  2048. 1:23:37like it's a little in the middle of
  2049. 1:23:39nowhere God does
  2050. 1:23:42this and so he he can make it come about
  2051. 1:23:46but I feel like many of us are even
  2052. 1:23:47through those second first phase second
  2053. 1:23:50phase but the last and final one is
  2054. 1:23:53where he gets full Glory through you and
  2055. 1:23:58from you because his name gets Glory
  2056. 1:24:01Jesus says glorify your name if that is
  2057. 1:24:04the complete climax of all death he's
  2058. 1:24:06like this is the reason I came to give
  2059. 1:24:07up my life for me no that you your name
  2060. 1:24:11get Glory it's all about God loving him
  2061. 1:24:15giving him
  2062. 1:24:19glory and so so yeah do it in US Lord I
  2063. 1:24:23pray that he take us through these
  2064. 1:24:25deeper phases and you you know what when
  2065. 1:24:26you hit that third one it's like the
  2066. 1:24:28chapter of Destiny changes and you start
  2067. 1:24:30all over again it's beautiful and he's
  2068. 1:24:32like you're like didn't we already is
  2069. 1:24:34this Crown Hog Day didn't we do this
  2070. 1:24:35already he's like yeah you're like you
  2071. 1:24:37start to learn like oh thank you Lord
  2072. 1:24:39help me pull another layer back and help
  2073. 1:24:41me die deeper that I can line deeper
  2074. 1:24:43into this new chapter of you being my
  2075. 1:24:45father that I never knew that you're
  2076. 1:24:47even more well pleased with and I'm your
  2077. 1:24:49beloved son or
  2078. 1:24:50daughter and then hear him or hear her
  2079. 1:24:54and then get full glory and we just
  2080. 1:24:56never arrive and I and I feel like
  2081. 1:24:58sometimes if we want to if we ever want
  2082. 1:25:00to stop put it in park or neutral and
  2083. 1:25:02just pump the brakes on it all he's okay
  2084. 1:25:03with that too he loves you but we may
  2085. 1:25:05get to heaven one day and he be like hey
  2086. 1:25:07you had about 20 chapters left of
  2087. 1:25:09repeating that cross daily and I was
  2088. 1:25:11trying to take you here and get Glory
  2089. 1:25:13this way it's okay I love you you did
  2090. 1:25:15amazing way better than most but I pray
  2091. 1:25:18I was having this chat with my kids the
  2092. 1:25:19other day over
  2093. 1:25:21dinner let's never start to think we
  2094. 1:25:24we're clicking on all cylinders not in a
  2095. 1:25:27introspective condemning thing but I
  2096. 1:25:29just think sometimes we think far too B
  2097. 1:25:31of ourselves or that we're farther up
  2098. 1:25:32the way I don't want to think that
  2099. 1:25:34way um I just want to think truthful
  2100. 1:25:37that's a better way to put it truthfully
  2101. 1:25:39real assessment like Lord don't let me
  2102. 1:25:42miss you getting full glory and me being
  2103. 1:25:45in step with where I'm supposed to be
  2104. 1:25:47For Your Glory say the thing ain't about
  2105. 1:25:49me I need to obey you and you have got
