Sermon Transcription
And that the sister has indicated truly from the Lord that God is going to bring a gathering of believers and together, together we'll labor, together as co-laborers in the great harvest of God. And the Lord is going to be glorified. The Lord is going to be exalted. The Lord is going to be lifted up. As we sang that song this morning, come and see the glory of the Lord. That's what's going to happen. The glory of the Lord is going to be revealed. This is a prophetic word, Psalm 21, that God has spoken a number of times into my spirit over the past several weeks. And I've been meditating upon it. And I've been praying, I've been waking up at night, praying this Psalm, saying, Oh God, glorify thy Son, thy only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Glorify Him. And this is a prophetic word. So under the Holy Ghost, I want to read this prophetic word. And may God help us to see that this prophetic word is exactly what God in the heavens is mustering up right now and is moving to do. Listen to the word of the Lord. The King, hallelujah, the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of glory, the exalted one, the King shall joy in thy strength, O Lord, and in thy salvation, how greatly shall He rejoice. There is going to be a people who are going to be just like their King, even as Christ as a man joyed in His salvation and joyed in the God of His salvation. We too will begin to share in that joy. And we will begin to joy in thy strength. There is going to be a putting down of the strength of man. There's going to be a putting down of the strength of horses. God says, blessed are those who trust in Me. Man by his strength will not triumph. Man by many horses will not find victory. But praise God, He shall joy in thy strength, O Lord, and in thy salvation, how greatly shall He rejoice. Listen to verse number two. Thou hast given Him His heart's desire. Thou hast given Him His heart's desire. Delight thyself also in the Lord, and He shall give thee the desires of thine own heart. Trust in the Lord with all of thine heart, and lead not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy path. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you shall ask what ye will, and you shall receive. Thou hast given Him His heart's desire. Everything that Jesus asked the Father, God gave it to Him. Because He was a Son who through obedience learned to fear His God. He learned to walk in the ways of God. He learned to distrust Himself. He learned that God's way was the only way. He said, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. He said, the Son of Himself can do nothing. He walked in dependence upon God, and therefore He said, Father, everything that I have asked you, you have given to Me. This is a prophetic word, and this is a promise that God will give to those who in the footsteps of their Savior go by faith to the cross, and allow God to strip them of their own desires. Allow God to strip them of their own aspirations. Allow God to strip them of their own wants, and their own drives, and their own vain ideas. And out of those ashes will arise a new creation. A new creation where God's Word will dwell. God's Word will dwell. And I tell you, beloved, when God's Word gets in your heart, when God's Word gets in your spirit, when God's Word gets inside of you, your desires begin to change. Your desires begin to conform to the desires of God. You no longer want things for yourself. You no longer want your name on the lights, but you want to see God glorified. You want to see the kingdom of God increase. Thy will be done as it is in heaven, so it is on earth, Lord. Thy kingdom, Thy glory, Thy name. It is a cry from the depths of the spirit for God to be glorified. Thou has given Him His heart's desire, and has not withholding the requests of His lips. God is wanting sons and daughters to arise whose requests and whose desires reflect the things that God wants to do. As long as we continue to live on the realm of earth, in the earthly sphere, where our own desires are in our heart, and our own desires are on the requests of our mouth, then God can't give it to us. If He did, it would destroy us. It would bring shame to His name. But God says there's going to be a generation, there's going to be a people who are going to follow the Lamb, and their heart's desires are going to be heavenly. God wants a heavenly people with heavenly desires. Praise God! I want to know God. I want to know the heavenliness of Christ. I want to know what it is to lose my life so that I might find my life. I want to see God's power in this earth today. I'm believing God for a mighty move of the Spirit of God. Back in 1989 or 1990, the Lord spoke to my spirit and said, Can you believe me for a move of the Spirit? Like it happened in Wales back in the late 1800s and the early 1900s. Can you believe? And ever since that day, there's been a deep groaning in many people. Oh God, you need to move. You need to move. You need to bring a move of the Spirit that will capture the hearts of your people for a heavenward journey to become heavenly in mind, heavenly in desire, casting off the grave clothes, casting off the old life, and arising in newness of life. This is reality, beloved. This is what God wants to do. This was why God birthed the church in the world, to be a heavenly new creation, standing in the midst of a dark and crooked, perverted generation in whom the world would see the very likeness of God being manifested through the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah to God. Verse number three, For thou preventest him, or that is, you have gone before him with the blessing of goodness. The blessing of God's goodness is going to be in the life of those who love him, those who are fashioned by his Spirit. Goodness. Goodness. Oh, the goodness of God. Don't you want your life to be filled with the goodness of God? Don't you want your life to be overflowing with the goodness of God? This is the word of God. This is the word of God here. This is not my word. This isn't the word of Phil. This isn't the opinion of some preacher. This is God's word. God is not a man that he should lie. If God said it, I believe it. Hallelujah. God's going to do it. Thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. That gold is indicative of heavenly life. It's indicative of the divine nature. It's indicative of that which comes from God, not tainted with earth, not stained with the touch of human hands, not birthed out of the earth, but birthed from the heart of God. The crown of gold is upon his head. And those who have become born again, the Scripture says, have become partakers of the divine nature. God has birthed in us by the Spirit of God the very divine nature. No, He is not making us into God, but He is making us sons of God in whom the divine nature is fully manifesting the eternal perfections of His Son. Hallelujah to God. Beloved, God wants to place a crown of gold upon our heads. In other words, He wants our life to be characterized by a constant demonstration and display of the divine nature being manifested through the power of the Word of God and the Spirit of God working in us. God wants us to cast off the works of darkness, put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh and the lust thereof. Cast off the works of earth. Cast off the works of darkness, and put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of glory, and your life will be transformed. I like Young's literal translation. It says, put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take forethought as to how ye might fulfill the desires of the flesh. Oh, I like that. I like that. You might have desires in the flesh. Just don't take forethought as to how you might fulfill them. Just say, I don't have any communion with dead people anymore. Praise God. That part of me is dead, crucified, buried. God has taken that man, that old man, and He's forever put it into the grave. He's put it down into the waters of baptism, and now I am risen. I am alive. Not to that, but to God. Christ is now my life. Oh, what a message of victory. What a message of victory. Christ is my life. Christ is my life. Let me tell you, this psalm gets better. This gets better. Man, I tell you, this gets better. God is going to show us His heart. Now He's showing us the nature and the character and the integrity of the King and the sons and daughters of God who become like the King, but it's not just so that we can be beautiful Christians. No, there's a purpose of God. God wants to go after that which is evil. He wants to go after that which is dark. He wants to conquer. He wants His kingdom to grow and increase and increase, and He doesn't want the enemy to put us to flight. He wants us, by the power of God, to put the enemy to flight. Hallelujah to God. Hallelujah. That's what He wants. He asked life of thee, and thou gave it to Him, even length of days for ever and ever. One of the desires of the Son of God was that He would have life. He always wanted life, life, life. There's too much death in the church today. There's too much death. We're touching death. When you touch the world, you're touching death. When you touch the desires of your old sinful flesh, you're touching death. When you begin to flirt with the ways of this world and you begin to flirt with the things in this world, you're touching death. But the Son of God asked for life. He said, Father, I want life. I don't want anything to do with death. And those who are born of God, those who are fashioned by God, those who are controlled by God, those who are going to come in and live by God are going to say, Father, give me life, life. Every time you speak a word that's harsh and unkind and uncaring and critical, you're touching death, death. But oh, hallelujah for life. My God, give us a desire for life. Give us a desire for life, God. Give us a desire. Lord, may our homes be controlled by a desire for life. Lord, may we wake up in the morning and say, Father, fill my mouth with words of life, words of blessing to my children. Stop speaking curses to your children. Start speaking blessings to them. Say, I believe someday you're going to be a great man of God, young son. You say, that's positive confession. That's the Word of God. That's the Word of God. God says he wants our sons and daughters to be trees of righteousness, a planting of the Lord that brings forth glory to God. I want to tell my children, I believe, children, that you are going to be children of God. You're going to be filled with righteousness. I believe someday you're going to make an impact on the world, Christina. I believe someday, Rebecca, that your heart is going to be filled with the Word of God. I see in you a desire for God. You are blessed, my child. Stop criticizing your children. Stop saying you're no good. You're worthless. Don't speak the words of the devil to your children. Get the Word of God in your heart. Speak life. Speak encouragement. Husbands, listen. Husbands, listen. Don't curse your wife. Don't curse your wife. Be gentle. Give her honor. As we preached a few nights ago, that your prayers are hindered, husband, if you don't honor your wife. Your prayers aren't going to get through. You talk to your wife like she's some kind of a junkyard dog, and then you go to God in prayer, God will say, stop it. Stop that. What are you doing? What are you doing? Well, Lord, I'm talking to you. What do you mean you're talking to me? You were talking to me when you called your wife that. I was, Lord? Yes, you sure were. You can't talk to her like that, and then come to me and talk to me like you're talking now. Don't make it right with your wife. Go humble yourself. Go say, sweetheart, I'm sorry. I sinned against God, and I sinned against you. Forgive me and pray for me, because unless I depend upon God, I'm a mean person. Hallelujah. You shall know the truth, and the truth shall what? Make you free. I want to be free. The truth frees us. Oh, how I love truth. Proverbs says, buy the truth and sell it not. Sell it not. Don't sell the truth for some morsel of fleshly enjoyment, because you'll lose the blessing. You'll lose the birthright. Oh, you might make it in by the skin of your teeth, but you'll not know the blessing of sonship. You'll not know the blessing of being able to reign with Christ now, and in the age to come. Don't sell your birthright. Don't give up the blessing for a morsel of pottage. But all say, no, God, I want life. Life evermore. Hallelujah for the Word of God. Hallelujah for the Word of God that cannot lie. His glory is great, and thy salvation, honor, and majesty hast thou laid upon Him. Hallelujah to God. God wants to look down and see the glory of Christ, and the majesty of Christ, and the dignity of Christ in our lives today. He wants to see the glory of Christ in our lives. The glory of Christ is a life that lives unto God. The majesty of Christ is a life of moral perfection. It is a life that is filled with the features that God has in Himself. That's what God wants to see. Men arise in the power of God, and quit ye like men. And that doesn't mean quit, give up. It means the literal meaning of that is this. Act manly. Act like a man. Be a man. Be a man. Take responsibility. Tell your family in meekness, God's Word is the authority of this family. Thank you. Don't you come to me with a spirit of rebellion. We're under the authority of God. Let's all bow our hearts right now, every last one of you, and acknowledge Jesus Christ is my boss. There's no devil coming into my home and telling me what to do, and how to run my family. I'm running it by the Word of God. Be a man. Be a man. Let God arise, and His enemies, what? Be scattered. You say, brother, these things seem too far to grasp. Moses said they're not far. They're right here in our mouth. They're right here. Don't believe the lie of the devil. You don't have to be a super spiritual Christian to believe this kind of stuff. All you have to be is humble and meek. I am the Lord, God says, and I dwell in the heavens, and I'm high and lofty and live in eternity. But I also, God says, will come and dwell with what? The broken and the contrite. God give us a broken and a contrite heart today. Hallelujah to God. For thou has made Him most blessed forever. Oh my God, we are blessed people. We are a blessed people because the blessed One lives inside of us. The blessed One has come to make His dwelling in us. Thou has made Him exceedingly glad with thy countenance. What makes you happy? The Bible says that the king is made glad by the countenance of his father. And I tell you, beloved, there are a people today who delight in the countenance of God. It is God who makes them happy. It is the Lord who's their joy. The countenance of God makes us happy. You say, I don't have any joy. Well, then get a look at Jesus. Get a look at God. Get a look at God. See God. Come to know God in His Word, and you'll have joy unspeakable and full of glory. In the Holy Ghost, not emotions. You can have joy in the Holy Ghost, and your emotions can be most miserable. And I choose to say hallelujah to the joy in the Holy Ghost in spite of how my emotions feel. Joy doesn't have to be an emotion. It's in the Holy Ghost. It'll come to your emotions. Maybe or maybe not. They had joy when they were ready to be eaten by lions. I don't know if they had it in their emotions, but they had joy when those Christians were thrown into the lion's den and cut in half, and then they had placed inside of them all the stuff that lions like to eat in order for them to be an incentive for the lions to just devour them. They were singing. I don't know if it was emotional, but it was joy in the Holy Ghost. That's all I care about. My emotions tell me to be blue. I'm going to say, nope. I'm going to get it from God. You say, is this working it up? No, it's not working it up. It's working it in. Hallelujah to God. For the king trusts in the Lord. Oh my God. The king trusts in the Lord. His trust is in God. He doesn't trust in man. He doesn't trust in his own wisdom. He doesn't trust in his own competence. He doesn't trust in his bank account. He doesn't trust in those that he knows can help him. He doesn't look to people, but he trusts in God who he knows is faithful and true. And so likewise, the joint heirs, those that will suffer with him and reign with him, they will learn to trust in God. And through the mercy of the Most High, he shall not be moved. Oh, we can spend an hour on each verse. We can't. I know that. Mercy. Oh, the mercy of God. Every morning they're new and they're fresh. Do you indulge in the mercy of God? Do you love God's mercy? Every day I thank God for His mercy, for it is because of His mercies that I am not consumed. God's mercy. Here we go, beloved. We are now making a transition, and this is prophetic. This is prophetic. This is what will be demonstrated in the people of God. We're making a transition now. Verses 1-7 showed us the character, showed us the integrity, showed us the stuff that the King is made of on the inside, showed us that godly character, showed us that He was a man after God's own heart. You want authority and power, you first have to get a change on the inside. Now we go to verse 8. When God fashions us after the likeness of His Son, He enables us and strengthens us to begin to aggressively seek after that which is not right. Listen to this. Thine hand shall find out. There is the all-finding-out power of a sanctified life. It is light. It is light wherever it goes. Darkness is exposed. It's not necessarily because I try to expose it, but because the light of the world is in me, and wherever I go and I demonstrate the life of Jesus, darkness is exposed. Darkness is found out. Let me tell you something. You get filled with the Holy Ghost, and you get near a gossiper, and that gossip spirit is going to be uncomfortable. You get near a slanderer, you just go up to them and smile. They start slandering your countenance changes, and they know you're not a slanderer. My brothers and sisters, thy right hand shall find out all thine enemies. All thine enemies. Thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger. The Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them. Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. For they intended evil mischief against thee. They imagined a mischievous device which they are not able to perform. Therefore, shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them. Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength. We will sing and praise thy power. There is a people that God is going to rise up, who are going to have a history with God, and as a result of that history, they're going to go forth in the power of God's spirit. And darkness shall not stop them. Father, thank you for your word. Lord, take the word. Take the prophetic word. And Lord, produce in us the life of this word. We offer ourselves to you. Make good in us the truth in this psalm. Perform all that is in your heart to the praise and glory of your name. And to you alone, as it says, be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength. And so we sing and praise thy power. So be it in Jesus name. Amen and amen. That's all I have from the Lord. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah to God. May God perform his word today. Hallelujah. Amen.
