We're going to encounter starting Matthew, chapter 18, verses 1 through 4. At that time, the disciples came to Jesus saying, who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? I love the laugh. You all know. Then Jesus called a little child to him, set him in the midst of them, and said, assuredly I say to you, that's probably what that child sounded like. Assuredly I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. So, spirit of the living God, we are so honored to be able to encounter your word in a fresh way today. I thank you Lord, that hearts have been prepared, that minds have been stilled, and that the spirit that is within us is quickened that we may receive you all you have for us, and that we may take it and run with it and give you honor and glory every step of the way. As we reach the destination that you have set aside for us, have your way in this place in Jesus name. Amen. Let's be seated. Oh my. God. I can already hear the rustling of paper. So let me help you all out right at the top of your page. Our encounter for today. We're going to title it Get Low. That can be an interesting challenge. Because on the one hand, we are in the midst of a move called big moves. The thing with making big moves is God starts to reveal big things, the big things he has for us to do and ultimately the big people we need to become in order to do the big things he asks for us to do. And then I read this passage and just when I begin to get caught up in all of the things that he's called for me to do, and all of the designations that may come, and all the great works that are assigned to my life. And for you, all that are assigned to your life. I read this passage and it is comforting to know that at the end of the day, if I am going to enter into the kingdom of heaven as big as I need to be, to I need to humble myself as this little child. I want you to close your eyes. Oblige me. Global family. You can close your eyes too. I can't see you, but I can see you. And I want you to think when I say Jesus. What image pops into your mind? Jesus. Okay, open your eyes. I'm going to throw out a few parts of his life. Raise your hand if you thought of the cross. Okay, okay. A few hands. Raise your hand if you thought of him walking on water. Raise your hand if you thought of him healing the sick. Raise your hand if you thought of him raising the dead. Raise your hand if you thought of him saving your life. That was a good deal of us. Raise your hand if you thought of him as a baby. It is interesting. When we think of Jesus, we think of him in grown man form. We think of him doing all of the amazing signs and wonders that he did, all that we read about him. And yet, if we're going to understand the completeness of the story, we have to acknowledge that he came to this earth not as a 33 year old man who had just gotten out of Gethsemane and healed a soldier whose ear came off. Not as the one who hung on the cross and was eventually resurrected. Not even the one who was transfigured in front of his disciples. When he encountered this earth, he came as a baby. I find it so fascinating. The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords hits the earth as a baby because a baby is the most helpless form you can encounter. A baby is the most needy. Needy, and I want to think of the best word to describe it. You need the most support. As a baby. You are as for lack of better words, vulnerable as you can possibly be. You cannot feed yourself. You've just come out of the womb. You're just figuring out how to breathe. You cannot clothe yourself. You cannot get a job. You can't buy your clothes. You can't store anything. You are in need. You are as vulnerable as you can possibly be. And our Lord and Savior chooses to encounter this earth first as a baby. This for me is eye opening because for me it completes everything. Because If Jesus had just teleported on the scene in fully grown, 33 year old form, then we're missing one. What it is to truly understand the humility of Jesus. Jesus showed up in all power as the living word wrapped in flesh, and he comes as one who needs to be swaddled and fed. Why? Because, and this is very important, when we study the life of Jesus, he is a blueprint. When we study how Jesus moved on this earth, he is a blueprint for us as Christians, as followers of the way to follow. So I see Jesus and he enters into the world as a child, and I cannot think of a more humble way to encounter that which you have such dominion over than to show up and say, I have all power in me and yet I am yielded. Because this speaks ultimately to where we're going in terms of this chapter. This word came to me as get low. Because one of the challenges of being a believer and understanding that, yes, you have been given dominion, as Genesis tells us, and greater is he that is in us than he who is in the world. And we say it and we believe it and we walk in it, and we have authority in certain realms. But at the end of the day, we have to continue to stay low. And by low, I don't mean lowering yourself in terms of understanding of who you are. I mean the heart Posture means no matter how high I go, I'm always willing to submit further to my Father, No matter what the world designates me as, no matter how much success I have, no matter what takes place in my life. We just talked about Malachi chapter three, and it talks about having blessing that you will not have room to receive. No matter how much I am blessed, I'm still low. Because when I stay submitted to him, and let me, let me, let me give you this, there is nothing, there is no posture, there is no designation you can give yourself that will ever be higher than who God has called for you to be. There is no worldly designation that will ever be higher than who God has called for you to be. There is no title that is greater than your identity in Christ. And so when I stay submitted, when I stay humble, I'm committed to saying, lord, I know what the world says about me and that's wonderful and that's great. I know what I have done and worked hard and prayed for and had interceded for me to take to take place in my life. I know what I've earned. I think that's wonderful and it's great. But at the end of the day Father, I will pull all, all of it out to continue to stay low at your feet. And as long as we can continue to stay low at his feet, he can take us anywhere he wants us to go. And his imagination is greater than my imagination. His power is far greater than whatever I believe I can do with all of the strategy and chatgpt that I have. And so as I read this passage and it says, and I go back to verse four, therefore, whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. These disciples are ranking. And the thing with walking in a time where we are called to step and take big moves is big things are going to happen. So as children of the most high God, I said that very strategically, children of the most high God, it is very important that as we are in the midst of our big move, that we do not become so big that God can't move us. And what allows that to happen is continuing to stay humble. And the best example I can think of is Jesus. And that's why the baby means so much to me in the totality of his story, because he shows up in the most vulnerable way. He shows up in a way where he has to be covered. And he shows up in a way where he is not exhibiting all of the fullness of who he is. Yet for some of us right now who are in the midst of your big move, you're not exhibiting the fullness of who you are. Yet. That's why it's so important to get humble now. Because humility is a muscle that you're gonna need to work. Because as you start to walk in the fullness of your big move, and everything that happens around you responds to your big move, and people start to regard you different and speak to you different and move you to different places and designate you in different ways, you still have to remember you're his child. And so I look at this encounter where the disciples are trying to say who's going to be the greatest. And he says, wait a minute, y' all have missed the point. It's not about who's going to be designated. It's about the posture of your heart at all times. And I love that he pulls this child and brings this child in the midst of all of these grown adults who are trying to figure out who's going to be better in heaven. And I've always seen this passage from the perspective of the disciples who got humbled, I would hope. And then you could see it from the perspective of Jesus, who is the wise teacher who is now showing them one of the critical principles of the kingdom. But it never dawned on me to see it from the perspective of the child. This child, who has no name, suddenly is pulled into a discussion where one of the four fundamental, most powerful principles of the kingdom is unfolded to this child. It's amazing what happens if you will just allow yourself to be the child in the room. Because you study what happens with this child. Number one, we never find out the child's name. Some of us are so hung up on our names, God can't do nothing with us. This is my name. This is what I do. And every room we go in, we announce our names, can't help ourselves. Meanwhile, this child does not walk into the room and say, here I am. This is my name. He gets pulled into the room. Jesus positions him in the room, does not call him by name, says, you, child, come here. And can you imagine as a child being pulled into a situation where you are surrounded by adults and the living word, yet this child takes his position and allows himself to be used in a way to be an example of one of the most powerful principles of the kingdom. He says, all of you need to be like this child. And I wonder in that moment what it was about the child that made Jesus pull this child. And I think Jesus at one point was a child in this exact same situation. Let's go to Luke, chapter two says so now. So it was that after three days, they found him, him as Jesus in a temple, sitting in the midst of teachers, both listening to them and asking questions. And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. I'm going to stop right there because the posture for humility, the key components of humility, were just unveiled to us. It says he was. They found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of teachers. Now, at this time, Jesus is 12 years old among a bunch of elders who are speaking ironically about him. You want to talk about humble? Can you imagine walking into a room knowing you know more than everybody there as a child, and yet he's still respectful enough of the elders that are there to enter into the place as a child. And what does it say he did? He listened and he asked questions. This is a key. If you're going to make the big moves and do it with the humility that allows you to enter into the kingdom of heaven, Listen and ask questions. Because Jesus could have walked into this situation and told them everything, and I mean everything. He could have broken them down. Y' all don't know what y' all talking about. Do you know who I am? I'm here right now. It is me that all that. Me, me, me, me, me, right here. You don't need none of that. You just need me because it's about me right now. 12 year old Jesus could have been giving it to these elders. And yet he observes and it says he listened and asked them questions. Why? Because he is observing the heart of those he will later teach. What is their heart posture? Before I come in and teach them what are their hearts? What is their. How do they think? How many of us, as experts in whatever field we're in, are willing to walk into a situation with our expertise and still listen and ask questions? And anyway, This is what it means to walk in humbly. This is what it means to walk in low. You don't need to announce your expertise, you don't need to announce your title. You don't need to announce all the things, all the accreditations, all the work that you put in. We know, we know you're going to get the chance to show it as Jesus did. But he did not have to take the opportunity in that moment to announce himself. He comes in into the temple. Okay, so this is the way they think. This is their heart posture. This is what I'm going to have to speak to. This is what I will have to teach about. This is what I'm going to encounter. He's doing research. And it is very hard to do research when your mind is already conditioned and fixed to what you think needs to happen. Humility is I have a certain amount of expertise and a certain amount of knowledge and a certain amount of understanding. And yes, I'm called and appointed and anointed to be here. And I prayed and I'm going to be here. And I got the word and word was confirmed and I'm here. And you show up into the space and place that, that God has prepared for you. And yes, he told you everything that was going to happen in advance. None of it is going to surprise you. And you still show up. And before you start talking, you listen and ask questions. Because what the greatest part about Jesus as the teacher is, as he walked and encountered those, he always let their hearts express themselves before he taught. If you sit in a room long enough, people will tell you all you need to know. But if you come in and you do all the talking, you've told them all they need to know about you, but you have not learned anything about the room that you're called to be In. So I look at Jesus, and Jesus obviously sees that there is a parallel. When he says, hey, come in. As a child, he's speaking, I believe, to his own experience. Because he came as a child, he encountered the earth as a child. And because he was able to do this, he says, listen, you guys who think you know it all. I understand that you are accomplished doctors and fishermen. You are accomplished in all of the previous professions you were in. But I've called you to now be finished fishers of men. This is different. This is why. One of my favorite things about the disciples is they kept pestering Jesus with questions. They were children. They kept asking Jesus all the questions. And sometimes they would wait till they were in their private time with Jesus. They would, yes and amen. What they were seeing. Yeah, Hallelujah. The minute they got back. What just happened? Teacher, explain. I don't understand what this was. This doesn't make any sense to me. Why did you do this? Why did you do that? Why couldn't we cast out that demon? They knew when to come in and ask questions. And so this encounter for me just sows so generously into my spirit. I'm praying that it's moving on your behalf as well, that we can make all the big moves we want. We will, but we have to get low. And there's another interesting word. Matthew 18:2, it says, then Jesus called the child, the little child to him, set him in the midst of them, and said, assuredly, I love that word. There are three words you always want to look out for in your Bible. Assuredly, verily and nevertheless. When you see those, find some color, highlighter and highlight those. Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are watch this converted and become as little children. So the posture that the disciples entered into this discussion into was not of one. As a child, they were looking to what they were going to be ranked as heaven. You know, children don't really look for rankings. If you've ever seen children play, they just play. They don't get competitive until the adults get involved. You set kids in a room with a bunch of balls, they're just going to kick them around and throw them and explore, and they're going to do all the things. They're going to do all the things that we should be doing in our own anointing. Now look at. What is this? I've never used this before. Let me try it this way. Oh, they're not afraid to fail. They're not looking at the other person with the ball. Ooh, They've got a bigger ball than I do. Ah, no. They're playing with what it is they've been given. They're using what it is they've been given. They're studying what it is they've been given. If we would only stop looking to our left and stop looking to our right and looking at our neighbor and what they're doing with their ball instead of just being a child and just saying, this is what you've given me. I've never used this before. I don't know how to use this. I think this works this way. Maybe this does not work this way. God, how do I use this thing that you gave me? Children don't start off competitive. The grownups start putting them in positions to say, you run a little faster, kick the ball a little harder. Look at little Timmy. Little Timmy's gonna pass you. Go catch little Timmy. There's a baby. He's crawling. What are we doing? Children are not worried about rankings. So when Jesus comes in and these disciples come in and they see and they ask this question, he said, okay, wait a minute. We have a heart reset. Because you're worried about things that are taking your heart out of alignment with the kingdom. This word converted says, assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, this word converted means to twist, to turn around, or reverse, to convert. Then when you get to the root part of that word it speaks of, the reference is a revolution, almost like of a heavenly body, like that which keeps a planet moving. So now when I look at this and it says, unless you are converted, unless you are turned, I'm understanding. The kind of force it needs to take to stay humble is the kind of force that can turn a planet, that can keep it moving. The kind of force you need to exert as a child of God to stay a child of God is going to be the kind of force that can move a whole body. It is a sustaining force because it cannot stop twisting. So for us, we have to continue to do what we need to do. We have to continue to listen, and we have to continue to ask questions so that we can stay humble. We have to keep being converted. You are never too humble. Humility does not have a finish line. It's not a finished product. There's not a stamp that says, you're done being humble. If you hear that, that's not him. Let me help you out. Whenever you feel in your heart, man, I'm done with this man. This job has humbled me enough. This apartment has Humbled me enough. Enough. This house has humbled me enough. This church has humbled me enough. I've received enough humility. I'm done. And it's going to sound like that voice too. That's exactly how you're going to hear it again. Just make sure when you hear that voice, don't be wondering if God told you that it ain't him. Because let me also say, as I joke about it, humility is a hard thing. And if we don't understand the purpose of it, it can be a wearying thing. Because we, like the disciples, are looking for the ranking that designates us so that we no longer have to be humble. There's no such ranking in the kingdom. So being humble is a monumental shift. And staying humble requires extraordinary force and power. And let me also be clear. When I say humble, I don't mean you diminish the idea of who you are. I gotta break that off of somebody. I didn't say act small. We'll clear this up. Being humble is having a full understanding of who is God, who God has called for you to be, how God has called for you to operate and the authority he's given you and still allowing him to take you, move you and shift you, and put you in a position to act as he has called you to act, regardless of the things you know about you. So if you are still learning and coming to an understanding of who God has called for you to be, be very mindful before you enter into a situation. Lord, what have you given me authority to do and say in this place? Because there is an authority, but the greatest authority is the one that you don't have to wield or. Or use. It's the one where you just are. Just being. That's why I said the power lies in your Christlike identity, in who Christ has. You've been modeled after Christ. It's about being more and more like Him. And it's not about your Christ like doing ing. It's your Christ like identity. That is where you wield your most authority. So when you can walk in the fullness of your Christlike identity, and they say, mop the floor, even though your nameplate may say something different. If God is saying, I need you to mop this floor, are you willing to get low and do what he's told you to do, even if it is beneath your earthly designation? Because I'm not after this kingdom, I'm after that kingdom. This kingdom will perish. That kingdom is everlasting. So I want my place in that kingdom. And according to this passage, it says, I need to come to him as a child. I need to be willing to not have all of the answers, even if I think I have all of the answers. Humility means you are able to occupy a space and a place in the fullness of who God has called for you to be and still do what he tells you to do. And that's a tough one, because the world cannot wait to not only position you, but also to tell you who you are and what it is you would like to do. And depending on how we feel about it now, we want to tell the world what we think we should do and what we ought to be. So now us and the world are in a back and forth about positioning. And meanwhile, Jesus said, you're fighting over the wrong things. I need to be able to place you where for a time, for a season, you can listen and ask questions. Verse 4. Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. So this childlike posture is not a posture of demeaning yourself. It is a posture of being so submitted to your Father that regardless of what you see and as you feel what you feel, you bring it to your Father. Let me help you here too. Please don't do the false humility. Don't act humble, Because watch this. The world has caught on that arrogance is not the way to go. Fake it till you make it. Let me help you out. Is no longer working. Fake it till you make it is getting to the point now where people have caught on. So now they have figured the world has figured out the kingdom principle, but they're not applying it in full. They say, hey, we want the humble people. And we know they want the humble people because we want the positioning in the world. So we act humble, we say humble things, but in our hearts, we really are like, I'm all that, can't tell me nothing. Well, you know, whatever you would like for me to do, I will do. But in your mind, you're taking that person's position also. Hey, I love your organization. I think it's wonderful. I love your mission. I think it's great. And if all, all you need me to do is just take out the trash, I'll take out the trash. That's what you're saying. But in your heart, you are the CEO of that place. You've already taken it over, which would be fine if God said that was the place for you to take over. But humility is. I see it, I might Even want it. God did tell me that's for me. Oh, okay. Lord, what is the space you have for me? Where have you said I am supposed to be? And when you have that in mind, that's when you know you are walking in humility. Because there are spaces and places where you could absolutely be, go in and take over, except God didn't tell you to be there. And the problem with that is now we have to sustain that in our own power and in our own imagination. Meanwhile, the space that is that the space that's supposed to be for us is empty. For some of us. And I love that. Our apostle, Torre Roberts, bless us with the word get in position. I feel that so strong part of being able to get in position, allowing God to put us in position, is being humble enough to let him move us. Am I allowing myself to get low enough to dislodge myself from this area where I have a lot of knowledge and a lot of experience and I can do a lot of things and I can go a lot of places and. And I know a lot of people, yet God said, that's not where I'm calling you to go. I'm calling you. Watch this. To go to a place where you will be like a child, where you will do more listening and more asking questions than problem solving and credit receiving. Are we willing, in the midst of our big move, to be a child again? Are we willing to suspend our idea of expertise, of feeling like we have to be the one who knows everything in that field in that space just to occupy to be there? Are we willing to have, just as Jesus took the child and put him in the midst of the elders, are we willing to allow Jesus to position us where all we do is stand and listen? I remember when I first came to this ministry, the first ministry I was a part of was our men's ministry was called something different back then. And it's wild for me to teach this now, leading our men's ministry. But when I first came to our men's ministry and I didn't realize that this was happening until one of my best friends told me, he said, yeah, you came into the ministry. You didn't say a word for a month. So I came into this men's ministry, I said, all right, let's see what the men of God are doing, how this man of God thing works. It looks great on the screen and I read about it, but now I want to encounter it. I went into the men's ministry, I said, where? For a month, I had a lot of things perhaps I wanted to say. Maybe there's some wisdom I wanted to share. I could give you some advice. I didn't say a word because I wanted to listen. I asked a few questions at first. And then years later, after spending enough time listening, spending enough time asking questions, I wound up finding myself being asked to teach. Key word, being asked to teach. I didn't run up with my degrees. I teach all these grades. I teach here. I teach here. I taught that. Da da da da. I was just sitting there receiving not a word for a month. Finally, I felt a prompting to say something. Are you willing to humble yourself enough to go where God has told you to go for a month and not say a word? And instead of spitting knowledge, gain knowledge. Instead of sharing perspective, gaining perspective. Are we willing to be as this child who in Matthew 18 never said anything but received the key to entering into the kingdom of heaven nonetheless? I just want to add this to your two belt because I already know there's strategy in the room. I already know. I already know there's plans in the room. I know there's authority in the room. I know all I know. Trust me, I know it and I can see it. And the one thing I don't want any of us to trip on is moving so fast that we stop staying low. Reminds me, have you ever had those little floaties in a pool? They're supposed to keep the kids from. They're supposed to make them make sure they float. Great workout if you ever get a chance. You ever try to push those things down? No matter how hard you push, push, push, push. That kind of force is what I'm asking for us to have. No matter how much things want you to come all the way up here in a worldly idea of who you are, in a worldly understanding of your placing, in a worldly understanding of your identity, in a worldly understanding of what you're supposed to be doing, I need you to continue to push. Because watch this. The lower you push, the more it wants to push you up. So it becomes up to us to say, wait a minute, am I making sure that I am being exactly where I need to be? I'm going to leave us with this last verse because Jesus puts it all together in terms of his experience and how humility worked with him. Philippians 2, 8, 11 and being found. This is Paul speaking. And being found in appearance as a man. He, this is Jesus, same word, humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death. Even the death of the cross. So humility is one thing, and then there's obedience. Therefore, God also has highly exalted him and given him the name which is above every name. Hold on, don't miss this. Therefore God also has exalted him and given him the name which is above every name. The exalting and the name giving is not for us. Follow, it says, he humbled himself and then became obedient to what he was called to do until the flesh was killed. And then it says, God also highly exalted him and given him the name which is above every name. And now we get to the whole point of his name, that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow of those in heaven and of those on earth and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. So we have him humbling himself. And in humility, in listening and understanding and asking questions, came obedience. Don't ask God questions if you're not going to obey the answers he gives you. And so he humbles himself and then is so obedient to the point where his mission is finished. And then it says, God exalts his him and gives him the name which is above every name. And then verses 10 and 11 unveil the power of the name of Jesus that every tongue should confess Jesus is Lord to the glory of the Father. I want to make sure we get this. You humble yourself, you obey what he says, and then there is the sacrifice that takes place in. And then the exaltation. The thing when you don't humble yourself is if we're not careful, we're looking for the exaltation. And if we're hungry for exaltation, we won't wait for God to exalt our name. We'll do it ourselves. And if we don't do it ourselves, we'll put ourselves in position where we work to try to get others to do it for us. This is why humility is so critically important, because Jesus gave us the blueprint for what it is to walk in all power and fulfill the mission that God has given you. He came in humble, like a baby. And then as a child, he sat in a room full of adults who knew less about him than him and still listened and understood. And he was obedient. As His Father said, yes, you are in the garden of Gethsemane, and you are in pain, and you do not. Yet he surrendered his will and said, not my will, but your will be done. He was obedient to the will of the Father. So he's humbled himself and then he was obedient and then he sacrificed himself and then came the exaltation of his God given name. This is the blueprint. But it starts with getting low. It starts with being willing to come in to the circumstance or the situation. Not in your highest, greatest, most fully fleshed out grown and strengthened form are you willing to be a child. And when we are willing, if we follow in the pattern and form of Jesus, that is when he will do the exalting. And when we allow God to do the exalting, that's when that which is supposed to occur in us and through us happens. Watch this. This is when we can say, yes, we are in the kingdom of heaven, which is the ultimate goal. This is a tough one to teach because everybody's fired up about making big moves. And I want us to be fired up about making big moves. But I also want to be even more fired up about how God will move me when I allow my heart to stay in his hands. So that's my call. For each one of us, great things will be said about you. You will find yourself in rooms with great people. You'll have the opportunity to do things you could not possibly imagine. When you say, I give all glory and honor to the Lord, my charge is that you mean it. Don't let it be lip service, because that's what successful people do when they get awards. Let it be an expression of the posture of your heart. And this is how we not only enter into the kingdom of heaven, but. But this is how we make sure what God has called for us to do takes place on this earth. This is how we make sure a big move is a big move. Let's stand. Ooh. Heavenly Father, you called us today, you've challenged us today, you've spoken to us today, and I thank you. Right now that there are those who are understanding that there is a new posture of the heart that needs to take place for those who are here. And I spoke of the archetype, the blueprint for how we should walk this out. If you want to start to follow Jesus and follow that blueprint so that he walks right beside you and he can continue to tell you, hey, this is what we need to do. Hey, this is how we need to do this. If you want to begin a life with Jesus, Jesus as your Lord and savior, please raise your hand where you are. I did. I see you. I see you. I see you. Global family, raise your hand in the Chat if you need to. Is there anybody else? I'm telling you, it's the thrill ride of your life. I am living proof. He will take you places and tell you to do things and show you how to navigate this earth and give him honor and glory. All right. Okay. Everybody has Jesus as Lord and Savior. We sure. Okay, I believe you. For the young lady with her hand, could you please keep your hand up? Thank you. I just want you to answer a couple of very quick questions, and I want you to answer as loudly as you can so we can all hear you. Ah. Do you believe Jesus is the son of God? Okay, I heard and I do. Do you believe that he died a mercilessly bloody death so that you could live again? Absolutely. And do you believe that he. He rose from the death with the power of the Holy Spirit so that you could rise again? All right. Welcome to the family.
