Pastor/Preacher (2:19)
We're going to look at the first 13 verses in John chapter 3. It is not an unfamiliar passage of scripture. We know it, we've read it. But there's some some hidden truths and some principles in there that I think that are very much relevant to where we are today. Hallelujah. And the theme that we're going to move about in this week and more than likely next week is the topic the declaration, the truth, the revelation, the idea, the grounding, the establishing declaration of I see angels, I see angels. I. In fact, I dare somebody to open their mouth and say, I see angels. I see angels. I see angels. I see angels. There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night, sneaking, and said to him, rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these things that you do unless God is with him. Jesus answered and said to him, most assuredly. It's a Greek word, literally amen. And he says it twice. So literally, most assuredly in the Greek is amen, Amen. In other words, this is the truth. Let this be established. Hear me. Pay attention. Attention here. It's the same word. Actually, the root word is a Hebrew word which means the exact same thing. This is serious. And Jesus doesn't say this a ton of times, but every time he says it, you got to pay attention. So Jesus answered and said to him, most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus said to him, how can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born? This is a teacher of high order in the Sanhedrin council. He's a ruler of the Jews, and he is perplexed. And Jesus answered, and he says it again, most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, you must be born again. Think about this. The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the spirit. I feel like teaching already. Nicodemus answered and said to him, how can these things be? Jesus answered and said to him, are you a teacher of Israel and do not know these things? Most assuredly. Here he goes again. Amen. Amen. Hear me. Most assuredly, I say to you, we speak what we know, we win guessing here, we're not even hoping. Here we speak, you're a ruler in Israel and you cannot perceive what's happening. And in contrast, we Speak what we know and testify what we have seen, and you do not receive eyewitness. If I have told you earthly things, I tried to break it down to show you the analogy of the wind and how it moves, but you're still perplexed. And then he says, if I he told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you of heavenly things? No one has ascended to heaven but he who came down from heaven, that is the son of man who is in heaven. That's mind blowing. If Nicodemus's mind wasn't blown before, then Jesus says, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, watch this. No one has ascended except for me who came down from heaven, who also is in heaven. In other words, I'm in two dimensions. Father, we thank you so much for your word. It is a lamp unto our feet. It is a light unto our path. Hallelujah. In the beginning was the Word, and the word was you. And the word was with you. And all things that will be made, will made there for by your Word. Hey. And even as your word became flesh and dwelt among us, I thank you, God, that this Word will become flesh and move throughout the hearts and the minds of your sons and daughters, present and watching, and God in alignment, in agreement with that. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight. I thank you that you've given me the spirit of wisdom and revelation and insight and knowledge and prophecy and full access to heaven's resources, full access to the throne room. God, that I might not simply be standing in front of your people, but that I might be like Elijah who said Jehovah, before whom I stand. So may I stand in two dimensions and release your word that will edify, build up, enlighten, activate, heal, and do all the wonderful things that takes place when your Word is released. We claim victory today in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. God bless you. Please be seated and show some love to somebody on your way down. Say something very, very kind to them. Let's go to work. And that I will do by the grace of God. If you've been listening to anything that I have been saying since the year began, I've been talking a lot about clarity. And this is not just a subject that I think is a cute subject to talk about or because I don't have anything else to talk about. The Lord has got me talking about clarity right now. Because we're living in a time that's going to require clarity and boldness, unlike Ever before in this season, you're going to need to be clearer than you've ever been, and you're going to need to be bolder than you've ever been in these times. And there is a connection between boldness and clarity. Because the clearer you are, the bolder you can be. Oh, we gonna have some fun today. I'm learning that boldness is actually one of the byproducts of clarity. So clarity is not simply about being clear, but it's having the ability. Watch this. To see differently, see the difference. It's not just being clear. It is a shift in how you see and when you see clearly. That is what creates belief. You're going to need notes today. Take notes down and maybe I'll send you my notes. I'll do that. I'll upload my notes. Upload my notes. We'll figure that out. We'll get it to you. Clarity. Watch this. Clarity creates belief. The clearer I am, the more I believe. That's why even Habakkuk says, watch this. Write the vision. And do what? And make it plain that they may run. Who read it. So think about it. When you're not clear, you're you. You hesitate because you're not clear. And you. You're not sure. You're uncertain. But. But the clearer you get, the stronger your belief. Are you tracking with me? And so, so, so clarity is connected to belief. But clarity that is fully mature takes you from believing to this wonderful thing called knowing. Might I take my time and preach the word of God today? Knowing. See, there's a difference between believing and knowing, right? Believing is. Is. Is Knowing is believing full grown. Oh, knowing is believing full grown. But believing will get you saved. Believing will get you into heaven. Knowing will allow you to bring heaven to earth. Play with me. Yeah. Believing will get you saved, right? Disciples were, you know, I believe, but what else did they say? Help my unbelief. So. So, so believing will get me saved, but knowing will push me into purpose. I believe. Help my unbelief. Right? At a time when Jesus was teaching them how to flow. So, so, so if I. If I believe and I never get to the point of knowing, then I'll be stagnant and you might as well just take me on up to glory. But there's a reason why I'm still here. I am still here because God is working something in me. And he who has begun a good work in me, watch this. Is completing it. Until the day of Jesus Christ. Oh, I wish I had four hours with you. So knowing, Lady Tanya, how wonderful it is to see you back here in worship and leading us, Huh? Hey. Given honor where honor is due and when honor is due. So knowing, as I mentioned, is belief that is fully grown. It's fully grown. And I need to know, because when I know, I move differently. In fact, In Daniel, chapter 11 and 32, the Bible says that those who know their God will be strong and carry out exploits. And the context of this prophecy is the last days. Joel Daniel Rather was talking about the last days. He said, in the last days, they're gonna move to and fro. That means that things are going to be accelerated. And it says a whole bunch of things in that text. It talks about how those who, Who. Who dishonor the covenant, those who disrespect the covenant, those who disobey the covenant are going to be going to be tossed to and fro. They're going to be deceived, it says. But those who know the their God, they are going to be strong and they're going to carry out exploits. And how many of us know that we are in a time where exploits are ripe this season for exploits, this season for. For the powerful fruit from believers is upon us. And belief alone ain't going to get you there. Just turn to your neighbor and say, help my unbelief. My belief is not the problem. My unbelief is the problem. So knowing is the highest level of faith. Hello, somebody. I believe that this knowing that I'm describing is. You know how the Bible talks about having faith in Christ, but in some places it talks about the faith of Christ. Faith have. Has levels. We also know that because one of the expressions or manifestations of the Spirit is faith. Paul's writing that to the Church of Corinth who are already saved. But he puts there in. When he's talking about the nine expressions of the Spirit, one of them literally is faith. That lets us know that faith has levels. Oh, we're gonna have some fun today. It has levels. I'm thinking about when Jesus said, said if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, just a little thing, then you can speak to a mountain. It'll move. Now, what he was not saying was that little faith move stuff. He was saying that faith is a seed and it has the capacity and the ability to grow and be as big as it needs to be in order to fulfill what God is calling you to do. So faith has levels. And I believe that when you come to this place where you transcend believing and you start moving in. Knowing that is when you're going to see the exceedingly and the abundantly and the far above what you can ask for or imagine worked and produced through your life. Turn to your neighbor and say, help my unbelief. Knowing is the highest level of faith. And watch this. And it happens through the evolution of how we see, how we see track with me. We see great leaders of old. I know I do this. I see great leaders of old in the scripture, Elijah and Elisha and others. And I look at them and there was something different about them. You ever been there before? You see these people. Oh, and you kind of like, man, I wish I had that. Well, I mean, they standing up to lions. They don't care about no fiery furnace. Lions. I Remember my first ILS 2014, and Bishop Jakes had a lion out there in the cage. And then. And Bishop started preaching and he started talking about, come out the cage, come out your cage. And I was trying to receive the word, but I was like, if he opens that cage and that line comes out, I am out of here. I'm gone. In Jesus name, all you're going to see is elbows. Just. But you see people of faith being so bold that they don't mind being in a den alliance. What was it about them? They didn't just believe, they knew. But where did that radical boldness come from? The truth is. Hear me clearly. The truth is they were seeing differently. This wasn't about personality. It was about perspective. Oh, God, I feel it. You think boldness is. I'm gonna get this boldness. I gotta hype myself up to be bold. I gotta become somebody. I gotta go to the gym. Now I'm gonna come out and be bold or I got to get my money up. When my money comes up, I'll be bold. No, baby, it's not about your prosperity or your personality. It is about how you see. Because when God gets you to a place where you begin to see, right? And I'm telling you, that's what we're moving into, you are going to be bolder than you've ever been before. And you're going to go farther than you've ever been before. And if you receive that right now, just say, God, make me bold. Boldness is your inheritance. Can't wait to unpack this. Listen, when we think about David and Goliath, David didn't become bold in the valley when he was there to fight Goliath. He arrived there bold because of what he had already seen by the Anointing. When the prophet Samuel anointed David, it didn't just mark him for a future throne. It recalibrated his sight. Oh, stay with me. It recalibrated how? He saw things, right? He. He saw differently. So. So when David steps in to the valley of Elah, Israel is seeing a giant. Saul is seeing a threat. The army is seeing defeat. But David sees something else. David sees spoil. He sees the victory what shall be given to the man that conquers. He had already seen him winning. Watch this. He was appalled at the challenge. He says, who are you, you uncircumcised Philistine? Who are you to defy? Watch this. The Lord of hosts. I'm seeing something different. And how I see determines how I move. Track with me. He was seeing something. He was seeing something. Oh, we got a long way to go. Thank you, Jesus. So. So. So the anointing. The anointing that David received gave him. Gave him different vision before it gave him victory. You want victory, but really what you need is a vision. Because if God will give you a vision and cause you to see right, you will realize that you're standing in victory already. Jesus is not the one who is overcoming. He is the one who has already overcome. That's why he said, in this life, be of good cheer. I have overcome the world. And what is the victory that overcomes the world? He says, my faith, but cute, fake Marasha. He says, this is not the victory that overcomes this circumstance. He doesn't say, this is the victory that overcomes that circumstance. It says, this is the victory that has overcome the world. In other words, I've got victory over yesterday, I've got victory over today, I've got victory over tomorrow. I've got. I've got victory any place I stand, every place I go. He says, in this life, you going to have tribulation. Why do we as believers get perplexed when we have tribulation? The fact that he calls us an overcomer means that they're going to be things in our lives that show up. But the revelation is I've already overcome. So it might look like I'm losing, but I'm really winning because I'm over. I'm overcoming. Painters paint, singers sing paint, preachers preach, overcomers. That's what we do. You're built for the battle, built for it. That's why he says, lady, T, Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. You gotta know right now, whatever is staring you down, the reality of it is. You're staring it down. Oh, great mountain. Who do you think you. Mm, mm, mm. Let's keep talking. Now, now, now. Hallelujah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let this breathe. There's an anointing right now. That's taking you from victim to victor. Come on. There's an anointing. This happened by the anointing. Come on. Just receive that anointing right now. Rabba Shabbat. Hallelujah. Receive. You're watching online. Receive that anointing right now. Just receive. Receive it. Receive it. Receive it. Receive it. God is changing your eyes. God is tweaking your focus. Hallelujah. Oh, catch it. You got to learn how to catch a thing. I'mma give some people about 38 seconds to catch the anointing that's in this house that's getting ready to change your eyes. That's why Jesus came, to give sight to the blind. Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't need no money. You need new eyes. Hallelujah. Come on, come on. Receive it right now. Receive it right now. New eyes. New eyes. New eyes. New eyes. New eyes. New eyes. New eyes. New eyes. New eyes. New eyes.
