WEBVTT

00:12.305 --> 00:18.028
[SPEAKER_01]: And so Ephesians chapter one today, we're going to read verses seventeen through twenty-three.

00:18.568 --> 00:24.592
[SPEAKER_01]: Ephesians chapter one, verses seventeen through twenty-three, and they'll be on the screen if you want to follow that way.

00:25.172 --> 00:35.538
[SPEAKER_01]: It says, I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation and knowledge of Him.

00:36.759 --> 00:43.624
[SPEAKER_01]: I pray that the perception of your mind may be enlightened so that you may know what is the hope of his calling.

00:44.305 --> 00:48.348
[SPEAKER_01]: What are the glorious riches of his inheritance among the saints?

00:49.068 --> 00:58.715
[SPEAKER_01]: And what is the immeasurable greatness of his power to us who believe, according to the working of his vast strength?

01:00.557 --> 01:01.057
[SPEAKER_01]: Next slide.

01:04.079 --> 01:05.601
[SPEAKER_01]: He demonstrated this power.

01:06.689 --> 01:20.479
[SPEAKER_01]: In the Messiah, by raising him from the dead and seeding him at his right hand in the heavens, far above every ruler and authority, power and dominion, and every title given, not only in this age, but also in the one to come.

01:20.840 --> 01:25.483
[SPEAKER_01]: And he put everything under his feet and appointed him, who Jesus, right?

01:25.883 --> 01:34.250
[SPEAKER_01]: As head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.

01:34.990 --> 01:35.731
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, how do you know?

01:35.771 --> 01:38.873
[SPEAKER_01]: He fills all things in every way, amen?

01:39.354 --> 01:48.022
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're taking notes this morning, the title of today's message is a different kind of power, a different kind of power.

01:49.123 --> 01:52.606
[SPEAKER_01]: So I say it with me, a different kind of power.

01:53.406 --> 01:54.107
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

01:54.527 --> 01:58.671
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's pray, Father, we thank you, Lord, for your word this morning.

01:59.392 --> 02:01.574
[SPEAKER_01]: We thank you, Father, for teaching us something new.

02:02.432 --> 02:05.033
[SPEAKER_01]: We thank you, Lord, for the revelation of your Word God.

02:06.953 --> 02:09.254
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Lord, give us revelation and insight today.

02:10.914 --> 02:15.055
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Lord, take us deeper, deeper into the things of you.

02:15.716 --> 02:17.696
[SPEAKER_01]: Take us into those hidden places today.

02:18.937 --> 02:20.297
[SPEAKER_01]: Those hidden mysteries.

02:21.057 --> 02:28.379
[SPEAKER_01]: May they unfold before us today, God, as we explore your Word, Father, as we learn and grow within it today, God.

02:29.079 --> 02:31.100
[SPEAKER_01]: Lord, we receive from you today, Father.

02:32.422 --> 02:35.523
[SPEAKER_01]: And Lord God, we open up our hearts to receive from you right now.

02:36.463 --> 02:37.763
[SPEAKER_01]: And we say, speak to us.

02:38.923 --> 02:41.424
[SPEAKER_01]: Speak to us, but speak to us loud and clear.

02:42.764 --> 02:46.845
[SPEAKER_01]: Open up our spirit man to receive from you today.

02:47.485 --> 02:51.226
[SPEAKER_01]: Something new, something fresh, something exciting.

02:52.186 --> 02:53.586
[SPEAKER_01]: We thank you, Lord, for it.

02:54.186 --> 02:57.327
[SPEAKER_01]: We receive your word now in Jesus' name, everybody said.

02:58.943 --> 02:59.525
[SPEAKER_01]: Amen.

02:59.585 --> 03:00.306
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

03:00.947 --> 03:01.588
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

03:01.849 --> 03:11.286
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, how many times we think we're in need of something but God wants to give us the revelation that we have what we think we need.

03:12.834 --> 03:16.076
[SPEAKER_01]: We already have what we think that we need.

03:16.717 --> 03:18.938
[SPEAKER_01]: He has given us everything, right?

03:18.958 --> 03:25.743
[SPEAKER_01]: And the scripture just said it, that we just read, everything that is not only here, but is in also the ages to come.

03:26.063 --> 03:29.485
[SPEAKER_01]: He has already provided every good thing for us, amen?

03:29.825 --> 03:35.269
[SPEAKER_01]: We have an inheritance that belongs to us, come on as believers of Jesus Christ.

03:35.569 --> 03:40.773
[SPEAKER_01]: So therefore, he has already taken care of every single thing that you're worried about right now.

03:42.143 --> 03:54.151
[SPEAKER_01]: He's already taken care of of all the worries, all of the concerns, all of the frustrations, the anxieties, the pressures, whatever of this world, you need to know today he's already taken care of it.

03:55.412 --> 03:57.013
[SPEAKER_01]: Now there will be time of need.

03:57.714 --> 03:58.254
[SPEAKER_01]: We know that.

03:58.714 --> 04:07.621
[SPEAKER_01]: There will be times when you have needs, but you need to know today that when those needs come, you have everything already by the grace of God.

04:08.724 --> 04:10.846
[SPEAKER_01]: You have everything already by the grace of God.

04:11.346 --> 04:15.869
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you have a financial need, you need to know today that you are already blessed in him.

04:16.670 --> 04:17.010
[SPEAKER_01]: Amen.

04:17.070 --> 04:18.211
[SPEAKER_01]: He calls you blessed.

04:18.891 --> 04:24.976
[SPEAKER_01]: If you have something going on in your body, then you need to know that he says you are already healed.

04:25.636 --> 04:28.338
[SPEAKER_01]: By his stripes, you have already been made whole.

04:28.418 --> 04:28.839
[SPEAKER_01]: Amen.

04:29.239 --> 04:29.980
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

04:30.260 --> 04:32.702
[SPEAKER_01]: Because how many of you have understand that you are not a popper?

04:33.482 --> 04:36.565
[SPEAKER_01]: You are not a popper, but you are a child of the living God.

04:36.965 --> 04:40.348
[SPEAKER_01]: And you have an inheritance that's made available to you.

04:40.588 --> 04:40.928
[SPEAKER_01]: Amen.

04:41.349 --> 04:45.692
[SPEAKER_01]: Turn to your neighbor and tell them, say, neighbor, you have everything you need.

04:47.354 --> 04:58.343
[SPEAKER_01]: I want you to just wait just a second here, but I'm going to have you tell them again, because for some people that you told it to them, but they actually really still don't believe it.

05:00.423 --> 05:01.404
[SPEAKER_01]: They still don't believe it.

05:01.424 --> 05:04.749
[SPEAKER_01]: They say, well, what about my situation right now?

05:05.850 --> 05:07.692
[SPEAKER_01]: What about my bank account right now?

05:07.732 --> 05:09.314
[SPEAKER_01]: What about my relationships right now?

05:09.335 --> 05:10.636
[SPEAKER_01]: What about my family right now?

05:11.722 --> 05:14.803
[SPEAKER_01]: You need to know that he has everything taken care of.

05:15.423 --> 05:18.565
[SPEAKER_01]: That behind the scenes God is working all things out.

05:18.585 --> 05:19.725
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, somebody say all things.

05:20.065 --> 05:22.586
[SPEAKER_01]: God is working all things out for your good.

05:22.886 --> 05:26.948
[SPEAKER_01]: So I want you to turn back to that same neighbor full of confidence.

05:27.168 --> 05:34.531
[SPEAKER_01]: And I want you to tell each other, I want you to say, hey, neighbor, you have everything that you need.

05:35.631 --> 05:36.492
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

05:38.032 --> 05:39.473
[SPEAKER_01]: Now tell them this, say neighbor.

05:40.682 --> 05:42.103
[SPEAKER_01]: I have something else to tell you.

05:43.804 --> 05:48.806
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a different kind of power that belongs to you.

05:50.327 --> 05:55.369
[SPEAKER_01]: Now tell them again, there's a different kind of power that belongs to you.

05:56.650 --> 05:58.311
[SPEAKER_01]: Now if you agree with me, say amen.

05:59.424 --> 06:00.845
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah, glory to God.

06:01.225 --> 06:07.430
[SPEAKER_01]: That different kind of power is not just in God, but guess what is also at work within you?

06:08.391 --> 06:09.712
[SPEAKER_01]: It's at work within me.

06:10.332 --> 06:10.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Amen.

06:10.732 --> 06:13.815
[SPEAKER_01]: The same power that raised Jesus from the dead, come on.

06:14.135 --> 06:17.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Now lives within each and every one of us.

06:17.137 --> 06:17.798
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

06:18.078 --> 06:21.861
[SPEAKER_01]: So we walk in the power and the anointing of Jesus.

06:21.901 --> 06:23.262
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah, come on somebody.

06:24.042 --> 06:26.023
[SPEAKER_01]: So power is an important thing.

06:27.304 --> 06:34.048
[SPEAKER_01]: It is all kinds of power, but let me just take one, for example, nuclear power.

06:35.489 --> 06:42.593
[SPEAKER_01]: Nuclear power, if handled correctly, handled appropriately, treated in the proper way.

06:42.613 --> 06:49.937
[SPEAKER_01]: Nuclear power can be utilized for energy purposes, like generating electricity.

06:50.980 --> 06:54.422
[SPEAKER_01]: It can also be used for medical imaging.

06:55.622 --> 06:59.844
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of times people have to go get MRIs and different things like that.

06:59.904 --> 07:06.807
[SPEAKER_01]: It's nuclear power that's helping to manage those things and create those imaging and those processes.

07:07.507 --> 07:13.090
[SPEAKER_01]: Nuclear power is also used in the form of treatment for medical issues.

07:14.510 --> 07:16.171
[SPEAKER_01]: There's different things that are used now.

07:16.191 --> 07:18.632
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, well, I don't want any of that kind of stuff in my body.

07:18.932 --> 07:20.533
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I don't either, but if it helps,

07:21.739 --> 07:22.721
[SPEAKER_01]: else people.

07:23.201 --> 07:26.246
[SPEAKER_01]: So use the right way, it can be beneficial.

07:26.947 --> 07:34.899
[SPEAKER_01]: But we know nuclear power used the wrong way can bring absolute devastation and destruction.

07:36.006 --> 07:40.007
[SPEAKER_01]: It can destroy entire cities and destroy entire regions.

07:40.687 --> 07:54.791
[SPEAKER_01]: So the same energy, the same power that has the capability of being injected into your body to destroy cancer cells is also the same energy in the same power that can be used to wipe out an entire city.

07:56.631 --> 07:59.472
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's all dependent on how you use the power.

08:01.232 --> 08:04.313
[SPEAKER_01]: It can be used in a right way and it also can be used in a wrong way.

08:05.103 --> 08:12.226
[SPEAKER_01]: The glory to God when it comes to the kingdom, how many you know that there is never an outage or a shortage of the power.

08:13.267 --> 08:18.149
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, I said there is never an outage or a shortage of the power of God.

08:18.189 --> 08:18.989
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

08:19.570 --> 08:22.271
[SPEAKER_01]: The power is there and it ain't going nowhere.

08:22.331 --> 08:25.812
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on now because his power never fails.

08:26.813 --> 08:27.593
[SPEAKER_01]: It never fails.

08:28.173 --> 08:31.415
[SPEAKER_01]: There will never be a day when the fire of God goes out.

08:33.186 --> 08:37.369
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on now, there will never be a day when the fire of God goes out.

08:38.190 --> 08:45.336
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, your lights may go out at home, but I'm telling you the fire and the power of God never goes out.

08:45.676 --> 08:47.017
[SPEAKER_01]: It can't be shut off.

08:47.318 --> 08:48.479
[SPEAKER_01]: It can't be diminished.

08:48.579 --> 08:50.000
[SPEAKER_01]: It can't be hidden away.

08:50.340 --> 08:51.721
[SPEAKER_01]: It will never go away.

08:51.982 --> 08:54.544
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah, the power is the power.

09:00.148 --> 09:01.630
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me tell you something else.

09:02.768 --> 09:06.010
[SPEAKER_01]: There will never be a day when the river of God will stop flowing.

09:07.351 --> 09:08.431
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, somebody.

09:08.492 --> 09:09.232
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

09:09.992 --> 09:12.634
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm telling you, the river of God always flows.

09:13.074 --> 09:14.955
[SPEAKER_01]: There ain't nothing that can stop it up.

09:15.656 --> 09:16.176
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on now.

09:16.636 --> 09:18.197
[SPEAKER_01]: There ain't nothing that can stop it up.

09:18.257 --> 09:20.939
[SPEAKER_01]: There ain't nothing that can hinder it or hold it back.

09:21.239 --> 09:24.862
[SPEAKER_01]: When the river of God gets a flowing, nothing can stop it.

09:25.502 --> 09:26.322
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

09:27.783 --> 09:28.384
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

09:29.335 --> 09:37.162
[SPEAKER_01]: So we are attached to a kingdom that it's very core of existence has the power of God.

09:38.943 --> 09:40.785
[SPEAKER_01]: And here's the thing about the power of God.

09:41.786 --> 09:45.209
[SPEAKER_01]: Not only does it not run out, but it can't be used up.

09:46.550 --> 09:50.173
[SPEAKER_01]: It can't be used up where it just, oh, we used all of it and now there's nothing left.

09:51.134 --> 09:52.215
[SPEAKER_01]: It's unlimited supply.

09:53.697 --> 10:00.839
[SPEAKER_01]: So it cannot only be stopped, but it can't be stopped from allowing the operation in your life.

10:00.959 --> 10:02.739
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a limited supply.

10:02.779 --> 10:05.140
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an unlimited flow of the power of God.

10:06.400 --> 10:11.582
[SPEAKER_01]: So many times people say, well, you know, I just, I haven't experienced the power of God lately.

10:11.702 --> 10:17.723
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't, I haven't felt that fire or I haven't been used by God in the way that I used to.

10:18.844 --> 10:19.924
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, God never stopped.

10:22.105 --> 10:23.185
[SPEAKER_01]: His flow never ceased.

10:24.665 --> 10:26.046
[SPEAKER_01]: His Spirit never backed up.

10:27.287 --> 10:30.410
[SPEAKER_01]: The fire of God never said, oh, not today for them, no, not today.

10:30.470 --> 10:31.091
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe another day.

10:32.372 --> 10:33.233
[SPEAKER_01]: That's never happened.

10:34.634 --> 10:37.697
[SPEAKER_01]: So the only one that could put it out, unfortunately guess what is us?

10:39.699 --> 10:40.099
[SPEAKER_01]: It's us.

10:41.260 --> 10:43.522
[SPEAKER_01]: We say all the time, God, we want more of you.

10:43.542 --> 10:46.125
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, hope that's our prayer.

10:47.602 --> 10:48.563
[SPEAKER_01]: More of you, God.

10:48.583 --> 10:49.423
[SPEAKER_01]: God, we need more of you.

10:49.483 --> 10:50.484
[SPEAKER_01]: I want more of your power.

10:50.564 --> 10:51.645
[SPEAKER_01]: More of you are anointing.

10:52.586 --> 10:57.550
[SPEAKER_01]: But then when the power and the anointing begins to flow, sometimes we just say, oh, hold on, that's a little too much there.

10:59.851 --> 11:12.221
[SPEAKER_01]: So the next time that we need to step into that anointing, we need to step into that power, it's like, hey, the Lord remembered the last time that you were crying out for it and it came upon you and you said, hold on.

11:12.241 --> 11:16.064
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, what's, why do we do that?

11:17.616 --> 11:19.518
[SPEAKER_01]: Why do we resist the power of God?

11:20.679 --> 11:25.022
[SPEAKER_01]: Why do we not allow the power of God to be at full operation at all times in our lives?

11:26.363 --> 11:28.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Because that's exactly what's intended to do.

11:29.986 --> 11:35.051
[SPEAKER_01]: He wants us to operate in the power fully at all times.

11:36.472 --> 11:37.673
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, somebody say at all times.

11:39.074 --> 11:44.899
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me just tell you, we're not supposed to operate in the power in the annoying to God just when things are going wrong.

11:47.400 --> 11:56.386
[SPEAKER_01]: Just when all hell is breaking loose in our household, when our finances are sink in and tank in, and then we cry out to God, then we want his power.

11:58.708 --> 12:04.432
[SPEAKER_01]: Or when we're doing really, really great, and then all of a sudden out of nowhere, a sickness hits our body or something.

12:05.793 --> 12:11.417
[SPEAKER_01]: And we go from really not hungry for the power to all of a sudden, God, I need your spirit now.

12:12.057 --> 12:12.838
[SPEAKER_01]: I need your healing.

12:15.095 --> 12:17.276
[SPEAKER_01]: We should be operating in that constantly.

12:18.817 --> 12:21.299
[SPEAKER_01]: Constantly, it should never stop.

12:24.561 --> 12:26.663
[SPEAKER_01]: Guess what about the power, the power never gets tired?

12:29.164 --> 12:32.026
[SPEAKER_01]: We get tired, but the power never gets tired.

12:33.707 --> 12:34.708
[SPEAKER_01]: The power never gets tired.

12:35.028 --> 12:40.772
[SPEAKER_01]: The power is not limited to any kind of time or season or space.

12:42.534 --> 12:44.775
[SPEAKER_01]: The power is at full operation at all times.

12:45.796 --> 12:49.077
[SPEAKER_01]: The power of God, let me tell you, never runs dry.

12:50.158 --> 12:51.098
[SPEAKER_01]: It never runs dry.

12:52.039 --> 12:56.181
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the power of God alone that sustains the very universe that we're living in.

12:57.121 --> 13:08.427
[SPEAKER_01]: If God were to pull back his power from the very universe that everything would fall in collapse and be destroyed, it is the power of who he is that's holding all things together.

13:10.651 --> 13:14.193
[SPEAKER_01]: everything that's at work in the universe upon the earth.

13:15.034 --> 13:21.118
[SPEAKER_01]: You think about the stars, the moon, the sun, the ability for the sun to rotate around the earth and all of these things.

13:21.178 --> 13:22.579
[SPEAKER_01]: It's all because of his power.

13:24.040 --> 13:26.601
[SPEAKER_01]: He created those things from the very beginning.

13:27.282 --> 13:32.385
[SPEAKER_01]: He put those things into place and it is his power that's sustaining all of those things.

13:33.786 --> 13:34.486
[SPEAKER_01]: Glory to God.

13:35.547 --> 13:39.870
[SPEAKER_01]: People say, well, I'm so scared that the end of the world is near.

13:41.708 --> 13:44.172
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's this whole thing going around, maybe some of you have heard it.

13:44.652 --> 13:47.316
[SPEAKER_01]: That September, twenty-third, that God has come back.

13:48.137 --> 13:48.858
[SPEAKER_01]: Have you heard that yet?

13:49.119 --> 13:50.200
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, that's Melissa's birthday.

13:50.260 --> 13:53.345
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I mean, what a birthday present.

13:55.583 --> 14:02.046
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't say this to cause any kind of fear or any kind of uncertainty or anything like that.

14:02.106 --> 14:05.167
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, if you're saved and more and again, then you shouldn't be worried about a thing, right?

14:05.187 --> 14:06.607
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's just the way it should be.

14:07.228 --> 14:10.109
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I know none of us want to go anywhere anytime soon, though.

14:10.149 --> 14:10.969
[SPEAKER_01]: At least most of us.

14:11.069 --> 14:16.992
[SPEAKER_01]: I always tell the Lord, Lord, just wait until I raise my family and do all these things.

14:17.032 --> 14:20.153
[SPEAKER_01]: And then after that, you can come and get us.

14:20.613 --> 14:26.976
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, yeah, I give them all my terms, you know, as if he, you know, I don't care about your terms.

14:26.996 --> 14:28.256
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm on my own terms here.

14:30.697 --> 14:37.880
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's all this stuff and you know, it's blowing up on social media right now that the Lord's returning, you know, at the toward the end of September.

14:38.740 --> 14:42.382
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm just reminded of the scripture that says, no man knows the day or the hour.

14:44.082 --> 14:52.168
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the Mayans tried to, you know, create this whole day into the Mayan calendar and they said, oh, it's the end of the world when that time happened.

14:52.188 --> 14:52.828
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, guess what?

14:52.848 --> 14:53.429
[SPEAKER_01]: We're still here.

14:54.564 --> 15:05.576
[SPEAKER_01]: How many times have you heard over the years that, you know, on a specific day or, you know, a specific time, you know, what was that thing, you know, many years ago?

15:05.596 --> 15:07.238
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, why two K?

15:07.818 --> 15:14.445
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I mean, so everybody gets all, you know, oh my God, you know, but no man knows the day or the hour.

15:16.104 --> 15:20.867
[SPEAKER_01]: And we are all still here and do it all of things that we are called to do.

15:20.967 --> 15:27.931
[SPEAKER_01]: And God is still doing all of things that he has yet to do because his power is still at work upon the earth.

15:29.111 --> 15:32.133
[SPEAKER_01]: And his power is still at work within each and every one of us.

15:32.453 --> 15:40.698
[SPEAKER_01]: And there are things that we have yet to accomplish that we need to still do upon this earth before God says it's time to come home.

15:43.617 --> 15:44.999
[SPEAKER_01]: And so here's the deal church.

15:45.880 --> 15:53.451
[SPEAKER_01]: The most dangerous thing that we can all do is underestimate and put limitations on the power of God.

15:54.792 --> 15:55.574
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the worst thing.

15:55.594 --> 15:57.396
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the most dangerous thing that you can do.

15:58.798 --> 16:00.621
[SPEAKER_01]: It's to put limitations on his power.

16:01.993 --> 16:06.095
[SPEAKER_01]: to put boundaries on his power, to underestimate his power.

16:06.876 --> 16:13.260
[SPEAKER_01]: How many people have certain mindsets and have created limitations when it comes to the power of God?

16:13.660 --> 16:19.564
[SPEAKER_01]: And unfortunately, one of the biggest limitations that we see and we experience is religion.

16:20.924 --> 16:22.045
[SPEAKER_01]: The spirit of religion.

16:23.646 --> 16:29.850
[SPEAKER_01]: The spirit of religion in and of itself holds us back from the power of God more than anything else.

16:30.883 --> 16:34.065
[SPEAKER_01]: more than pride, more than whatever you can think of.

16:34.185 --> 16:35.105
[SPEAKER_01]: It's religion.

16:36.306 --> 16:37.687
[SPEAKER_01]: Religion holds us back.

16:39.207 --> 16:44.090
[SPEAKER_01]: Say, oh, we got to get through this set list before the power of God can move.

16:45.342 --> 16:52.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, if the power God wants to move in between songs one and two, then we got to let the power of God move.

16:52.789 --> 16:54.930
[SPEAKER_01]: But if we say, oh, no, no, hold on, that's got to wait.

16:55.211 --> 17:01.116
[SPEAKER_01]: Then now we have now put limitations up to what the power of God is trying to do and trying to accomplish.

17:01.957 --> 17:04.619
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why it's important to be spirit-led.

17:05.940 --> 17:06.621
[SPEAKER_01]: Spirit-led.

17:07.742 --> 17:12.306
[SPEAKER_01]: The type of God that Paul is referring to here in Ephesians chapter one,

17:13.915 --> 17:26.443
[SPEAKER_01]: can't be limited and subjected to just a God that's put up on our fireplace that we look at him every once in a while or take him down and show people when they come over.

17:26.523 --> 17:28.964
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not the kind of God that Paul is referring to.

17:29.465 --> 17:37.750
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not talking about the kind of God that's just limited to a magnet on your refrigerator or a bumper sticker on your vehicle.

17:39.011 --> 17:46.376
[SPEAKER_01]: No, the God that Paul is referring to in Ephesians chapter one is a God with immeasurable power.

17:47.317 --> 17:48.337
[SPEAKER_01]: Immeasurable power.

17:48.377 --> 17:48.978
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

17:49.258 --> 17:54.321
[SPEAKER_01]: And listen, we haven't yet experienced the fullness of his power yet.

17:55.242 --> 17:56.002
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you believe that?

17:56.583 --> 17:59.465
[SPEAKER_01]: We haven't even experienced the fullness of his power yet.

18:00.608 --> 18:02.109
[SPEAKER_01]: There is so much more.

18:03.089 --> 18:04.830
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we have had amazing times.

18:04.890 --> 18:12.193
[SPEAKER_01]: Each and every one of us have had times in his presence, have experienced the annoyance, have experienced his true raw power in our lives.

18:12.233 --> 18:12.933
[SPEAKER_01]: But guess what?

18:13.253 --> 18:15.294
[SPEAKER_01]: That ain't but a glimpse of what's to come.

18:17.315 --> 18:18.095
[SPEAKER_01]: Glory to God.

18:19.256 --> 18:19.956
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

18:20.716 --> 18:24.398
[SPEAKER_01]: How many are grateful that we serve a God who has all the power?

18:25.617 --> 18:30.020
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, I said, how many are grateful that we serve a God who has all the power?

18:30.080 --> 18:30.760
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

18:31.020 --> 18:32.581
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got all the authority.

18:32.862 --> 18:35.203
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got all the dominion, hallelujah.

18:35.603 --> 18:37.424
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything is under his feet.

18:37.484 --> 18:38.965
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

18:39.586 --> 18:42.207
[SPEAKER_01]: He has all of the power.

18:44.449 --> 18:47.951
[SPEAKER_01]: So Paul is riding and he's being inspired by the spirit of God.

18:49.025 --> 19:02.416
[SPEAKER_01]: It's almost as if the Spirit of God is speaking through Paul and is wanting really to make sure that we don't just talk about the power as ordinary, but we know that it's a different kind of power.

19:03.277 --> 19:04.938
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an immeasurable power.

19:04.998 --> 19:10.122
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an ever-increasing power, never-ceasing power.

19:11.243 --> 19:12.845
[SPEAKER_01]: And so if you're taking notes this morning,

19:13.943 --> 19:17.246
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to give you a whole little spiel about notes last week, so I think we got it.

19:20.168 --> 19:22.650
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're taking notes this morning, there's three things that I want to teach you.

19:22.670 --> 19:29.356
[SPEAKER_01]: The first one is there's three limits, three seating out limits, three elements, there ain't no limits.

19:30.217 --> 19:33.179
[SPEAKER_01]: There's three elements to the power of God that I want to teach you today.

19:33.219 --> 19:36.742
[SPEAKER_01]: The first one is this is that the power is immeasurably great.

19:37.983 --> 19:42.247
[SPEAKER_01]: The power is immeasurably great.

19:44.794 --> 19:46.435
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, that comes straight out of Scripture.

19:47.715 --> 19:48.415
[SPEAKER_01]: We just read it.

19:49.916 --> 19:52.457
[SPEAKER_01]: Ephesians chapter one, verse nineteen.

19:53.837 --> 19:55.878
[SPEAKER_01]: Ephesians chapter one, verse nineteen.

19:56.118 --> 20:03.500
[SPEAKER_01]: It says, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power?

20:04.381 --> 20:08.782
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, we're going to spend the rest of this message right here on verse nineteen.

20:10.363 --> 20:14.464
[SPEAKER_01]: Because there's so much that's packed into this little bit of this verse here.

20:16.228 --> 20:21.015
[SPEAKER_01]: that we have to really explore and really to understand together.

20:22.557 --> 20:30.281
[SPEAKER_01]: But it says, what is the immeasurable greatness of his power to those who believe according to the working of his vast strength?

20:31.582 --> 20:42.408
[SPEAKER_01]: Up into this time in the Word of God, the phrase, immeasurable great, or some of your versions may say exceedingly great, or exceeding greatness.

20:43.368 --> 20:45.149
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody's will say maybe something a little different.

20:45.730 --> 20:51.433
[SPEAKER_01]: But this phrase, in particular, up into this point of time, has never been used in the Word of God.

20:52.233 --> 21:00.220
[SPEAKER_01]: So first time an Ephesians chapter one that we see this immeasurably great or this exceedingly great phrase used.

21:01.481 --> 21:06.265
[SPEAKER_01]: In the word immeasurable there and the Greek is the word hyperbolo.

21:06.285 --> 21:08.207
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a fun word there.

21:08.827 --> 21:16.054
[SPEAKER_01]: Hyperbolo, if you want to put it on the screen there for us, which means this, it means over and above, it means to surpass

21:17.742 --> 21:29.651
[SPEAKER_01]: So that word immeasurable there, it says that there is a measurable greatness of his power, meaning it's far surpassing anything that you can even come up in your own mind.

21:31.052 --> 21:34.835
[SPEAKER_01]: You know things that are great, but this is beyond great.

21:35.835 --> 21:37.777
[SPEAKER_01]: This is over and above great.

21:40.839 --> 21:41.940
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's got to be a god thing.

21:43.665 --> 21:44.966
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a supernatural thing.

21:45.627 --> 21:47.669
[SPEAKER_01]: His power can't be explained.

21:48.309 --> 21:49.971
[SPEAKER_01]: His power can't be contained.

21:51.012 --> 21:52.833
[SPEAKER_01]: It is greater than great itself.

21:53.974 --> 21:54.355
[SPEAKER_01]: Whoo!

21:55.196 --> 21:56.116
[SPEAKER_01]: It's greater than great.

21:56.837 --> 21:59.219
[SPEAKER_01]: Now how many of you have had some great days in your life?

22:00.080 --> 22:01.141
[SPEAKER_01]: You've had some great days.

22:01.882 --> 22:02.702
[SPEAKER_01]: Well guess what?

22:03.603 --> 22:05.985
[SPEAKER_01]: Huperbolo is even greater than those days.

22:07.066 --> 22:07.467
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, hey.

22:10.327 --> 22:12.788
[SPEAKER_01]: How many of that great blessings come your way before?

22:13.729 --> 22:15.690
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, a great blessing came your way.

22:16.150 --> 22:17.351
[SPEAKER_01]: This is greater than that.

22:18.511 --> 22:20.712
[SPEAKER_01]: It's greater than anything that you call great.

22:22.733 --> 22:23.834
[SPEAKER_01]: My family is great.

22:23.914 --> 22:25.955
[SPEAKER_01]: My job is great.

22:26.015 --> 22:28.276
[SPEAKER_01]: All these, this is greater than all of that.

22:29.257 --> 22:33.179
[SPEAKER_01]: Just his power alone is he measureably great.

22:34.919 --> 22:35.900
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like this church.

22:37.820 --> 22:48.145
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like if there was a target at the back of the room, and I had a bow and arrow or a rifle or whatever, and I was aiming to hit that target.

22:49.645 --> 22:54.808
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not only am I going to hit that target, but it's going to keep going away past that target.

22:55.628 --> 22:57.389
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to surpass that target.

22:58.349 --> 23:01.391
[SPEAKER_01]: So not only do you hit it, but it goes beyond that.

23:02.525 --> 23:04.206
[SPEAKER_01]: It goes past that, come on somebody.

23:04.226 --> 23:08.169
[SPEAKER_01]: And let me just tell you something, that's how powerful your prayers can be.

23:08.930 --> 23:16.416
[SPEAKER_01]: You can pray prayers full of the power of God, and they can not only hit that target, but they can surpass the thing that you're even praying about.

23:16.996 --> 23:17.717
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

23:18.537 --> 23:19.838
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the power of God.

23:21.119 --> 23:25.883
[SPEAKER_01]: And so we need the power of God in operation in our lives, but we need His power in our prayer life.

23:27.291 --> 23:31.914
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, there is a time for soft, quiet, sweet, thank you Jesus prayers.

23:31.954 --> 23:33.055
[SPEAKER_01]: There's times for all that.

23:33.095 --> 23:33.836
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't get me wrong.

23:34.176 --> 23:36.458
[SPEAKER_01]: But there are also times when you gotta go to war.

23:37.038 --> 23:39.640
[SPEAKER_01]: And you gotta tap into this hoopra ballo.

23:39.900 --> 23:45.525
[SPEAKER_01]: And you gotta say in the name of Jesus, this prayer right now is going beyond the thing that I'm even praying for.

23:45.805 --> 23:47.166
[SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna go over and above.

23:47.206 --> 23:49.748
[SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna surpass even my expectations.

23:51.509 --> 23:52.190
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

23:55.652 --> 23:56.593
[SPEAKER_01]: It's over and above.

23:57.602 --> 24:00.045
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not just meaning your expectations, but guess what?

24:00.105 --> 24:02.408
[SPEAKER_01]: It's excelling past your expectations.

24:04.190 --> 24:12.560
[SPEAKER_01]: So every time you think you have found really the edge or the limit of his power, God who provolos it, if you will.

24:14.845 --> 24:22.947
[SPEAKER_01]: Just when you thought you've reached the very tipping point of his power, where he's either, I've really reached the height in the depth of all of his power.

24:23.267 --> 24:25.847
[SPEAKER_01]: He says, oh, no, no, no, no, no.

24:25.887 --> 24:27.888
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me put my hoop or ballo behind that now.

24:27.948 --> 24:29.488
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me really show you.

24:29.828 --> 24:31.829
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me take you a little bit deeper.

24:31.889 --> 24:32.809
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, somebody.

24:33.849 --> 24:34.689
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

24:35.589 --> 24:36.249
[SPEAKER_01]: Goes beyond.

24:36.270 --> 24:42.931
[SPEAKER_01]: I love this scripture because it says his immeasurable greatness.

24:44.048 --> 24:47.390
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, this is the first time in all scripture that this phrase is used.

24:47.930 --> 24:52.472
[SPEAKER_01]: So we understand what immeasurable is talking about, but what about greatness?

24:52.492 --> 25:00.855
[SPEAKER_01]: We think we know what greatness is, but I looked it up in the Greek and it's the word megathos, megathos, which means greater than great.

25:03.457 --> 25:08.399
[SPEAKER_01]: So whatever your definition of great is, this is a whole another step further than that.

25:10.520 --> 25:11.040
[SPEAKER_01]: It's beyond that.

25:14.200 --> 25:16.702
[SPEAKER_01]: So where we get our word mega.

25:18.202 --> 25:19.103
[SPEAKER_01]: It's mega big.

25:20.404 --> 25:21.585
[SPEAKER_01]: It's mega powerful.

25:24.826 --> 25:25.787
[SPEAKER_01]: It's over and above.

25:26.508 --> 25:31.390
[SPEAKER_01]: So he has his immeasurable greatness of his power.

25:32.891 --> 25:40.196
[SPEAKER_01]: So when we put that together, we now discover that it is a surpassing greater than great power.

25:42.274 --> 25:43.815
[SPEAKER_01]: And you should have got excited right there.

25:43.835 --> 25:46.116
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know what church I'm in this morning.

25:46.416 --> 25:55.541
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's a power that is for above exceeds above and beyond surpasses anything that you have ever called great.

25:55.901 --> 25:57.382
[SPEAKER_01]: It is greater than great.

25:57.442 --> 25:59.343
[SPEAKER_01]: It is above and beyond all of that.

26:00.023 --> 26:00.643
[SPEAKER_01]: His power.

26:01.804 --> 26:03.165
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's just his power alone.

26:04.545 --> 26:05.326
[SPEAKER_01]: What about his grace?

26:09.928 --> 26:10.408
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on now.

26:10.508 --> 26:11.369
[SPEAKER_01]: What about his peace?

26:12.345 --> 26:14.347
[SPEAKER_01]: What about the joy that comes from the Holy Ghost?

26:15.548 --> 26:17.850
[SPEAKER_01]: Now you put some hope and follow behind some of that.

26:17.930 --> 26:18.551
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

26:18.851 --> 26:22.174
[SPEAKER_01]: Now you know what it's like to really walk in the fullness of joy.

26:22.435 --> 26:25.257
[SPEAKER_01]: What you know to really walk like in the fullness of his peace.

26:25.558 --> 26:26.278
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

26:29.601 --> 26:36.848
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm telling you, next time you're praying, you say, God, give me more joy or whatever it may be.

26:37.965 --> 26:43.237
[SPEAKER_01]: You should say, God, don't just give me joy, but put your Huperbolo behind it.

26:45.336 --> 26:47.157
[SPEAKER_01]: Give me the hoop of all who kind of joy.

26:47.197 --> 26:48.057
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, somebody.

26:48.838 --> 26:51.519
[SPEAKER_01]: That is greater than the type of joy I've ever known.

26:51.579 --> 26:58.462
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, it exceeds above and beyond, any kind of great feeling, joyful moment, celebratory time in my life.

26:58.502 --> 26:59.283
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

26:59.643 --> 27:01.744
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an over and above kind of joy.

27:02.004 --> 27:04.985
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a kind of joy that gives me a smile when I don't feel like it.

27:05.245 --> 27:09.667
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a kind of joy that gets me apart from my feet when I feel down and depressed.

27:09.707 --> 27:10.468
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

27:11.208 --> 27:12.709
[SPEAKER_01]: It's that kind of joy, church.

27:14.662 --> 27:17.324
[SPEAKER_01]: You see what happens when you just put a little bit of his power behind it?

27:18.004 --> 27:18.784
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything changes.

27:20.125 --> 27:20.846
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything changes.

27:22.347 --> 27:22.887
[SPEAKER_01]: I got a lot.

27:23.527 --> 27:24.128
[SPEAKER_01]: I got in a hurry.

27:25.829 --> 27:26.329
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

27:28.947 --> 27:44.596
[SPEAKER_01]: So Paul is literally in this scripture, he's taking the opportunity in the time to express and explain the fact that his power is greater than anything that at this point of time that they've ever heard of or ever seen in their lives.

27:46.257 --> 27:48.878
[SPEAKER_01]: It's beyond anything that they've ever experienced.

27:49.638 --> 27:50.759
[SPEAKER_01]: It's that over and above.

27:50.799 --> 27:54.241
[SPEAKER_01]: It's that surpassing greatness that really can't be comprehended.

27:54.281 --> 27:55.562
[SPEAKER_01]: It can't be explained.

27:56.642 --> 28:01.004
[SPEAKER_01]: It's immeasurable, and it's not only immeasurable yet, it's beyond immeasurable.

28:02.345 --> 28:02.965
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

28:02.985 --> 28:08.248
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like the vast depths of God.

28:09.628 --> 28:11.689
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so reaches beyond that.

28:12.329 --> 28:14.130
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll never even scratch the surface.

28:16.940 --> 28:18.000
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, come on now.

28:18.020 --> 28:21.341
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we can have powerful time just like we did at worship.

28:21.921 --> 28:30.622
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we can really go after the things of God and we can really get to a certain point where like, oh my God, like, how is there more?

28:30.682 --> 28:32.983
[SPEAKER_01]: And he says there's still so many of much more.

28:33.423 --> 28:35.083
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a measureably greater.

28:35.103 --> 28:36.983
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a measureably greater.

28:37.464 --> 28:39.164
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, there's a measureably greater.

28:39.184 --> 28:39.964
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

28:40.424 --> 28:42.364
[SPEAKER_01]: There's so much more greater in my power.

28:42.384 --> 28:43.185
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

28:44.205 --> 28:45.145
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Jesus.

28:46.363 --> 28:47.143
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Lord.

28:48.323 --> 28:51.124
[SPEAKER_01]: So the first thing is that the power is immeasurably great.

28:52.224 --> 29:01.066
[SPEAKER_01]: And the second thing is this, this should get you excited this morning is that the power is for the believers.

29:02.806 --> 29:03.886
[SPEAKER_01]: We got the power.

29:07.427 --> 29:08.187
[SPEAKER_01]: We got the power.

29:10.127 --> 29:11.408
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what the word of God says.

29:11.588 --> 29:13.268
[SPEAKER_01]: It says that it's for the believers.

29:15.355 --> 29:16.255
[SPEAKER_01]: Now we're believers.

29:17.696 --> 29:22.777
[SPEAKER_01]: So therefore, that's in part of our inheritance that the Scripture was talking about.

29:23.337 --> 29:29.639
[SPEAKER_01]: The power of God automatically belongs to us as airs and sons and daughters of Jesus Christ.

29:30.380 --> 29:30.960
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

29:31.340 --> 29:33.681
[SPEAKER_01]: We have the power of God within us.

29:34.061 --> 29:34.441
[SPEAKER_01]: Amen.

29:35.301 --> 29:37.802
[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes people say, well, I don't feel like I got his power.

29:39.843 --> 29:40.263
[SPEAKER_01]: You got it.

29:41.643 --> 29:43.004
[SPEAKER_01]: You just got to tap into it.

29:44.044 --> 29:44.524
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on now.

29:44.924 --> 29:46.625
[SPEAKER_01]: You just got to turn on the light switch.

29:46.645 --> 29:48.945
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you got to do something.

29:49.005 --> 29:53.187
[SPEAKER_01]: But let me tell you it's there because it automatically belongs to every believer.

29:53.427 --> 29:57.648
[SPEAKER_01]: When you said yes to Jesus, then it was an automatic qualification for his power.

29:59.528 --> 30:02.729
[SPEAKER_01]: He put his stamp of approval to his power upon you immediately.

30:04.170 --> 30:05.590
[SPEAKER_01]: So it belongs to the believers.

30:06.928 --> 30:14.013
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is amazing because this immeasurably great power is specifically for all of us.

30:15.674 --> 30:21.658
[SPEAKER_01]: Which goes to tell us that it says that it's for believers, that means that though two at the same time that it's not for everyone.

30:24.179 --> 30:24.960
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not for everyone.

30:26.533 --> 30:27.494
[SPEAKER_01]: But here's the deal.

30:27.774 --> 30:37.145
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a matter of God picking and choosing or playing favorites or saying, yeah, that one, but no, not that one or anything like that.

30:37.926 --> 30:39.588
[SPEAKER_01]: God simply honors faith.

30:41.265 --> 30:42.386
[SPEAKER_01]: He simply honors faith.

30:42.886 --> 30:45.088
[SPEAKER_01]: He simply honors obedience in Him.

30:45.689 --> 30:50.914
[SPEAKER_01]: When we say yes to Jesus and we make Him our Savior, that power is made available to us.

30:51.614 --> 30:57.440
[SPEAKER_01]: Those that deny Him, those that deny Him also guess what, deny His power.

30:59.001 --> 30:59.862
[SPEAKER_01]: They deny His power.

31:01.049 --> 31:11.780
[SPEAKER_01]: And so if you're not a person who chooses to believe God, unfortunately you have exempted yourself from a dimension of God's power that's made available to us.

31:13.261 --> 31:22.571
[SPEAKER_01]: Now listen, I'm not saying that those that don't know God and aren't saved don't have the ability to receive his power or his grace or his mercy.

31:22.611 --> 31:23.151
[SPEAKER_01]: No, guess what?

31:23.231 --> 31:24.533
[SPEAKER_01]: All of us at one time did.

31:26.693 --> 31:34.116
[SPEAKER_01]: So he will reveal his power to us and he'll get our attention and then it's up to us whether we say yes or no to him, right?

31:35.637 --> 31:42.340
[SPEAKER_01]: I prayed for people who were not saved that received healing and all of a sudden that opened up the door for them.

31:43.180 --> 31:51.544
[SPEAKER_01]: So God will reveal his power in multiple ways but it's up to man to say yes or no to him.

31:53.521 --> 31:58.943
[SPEAKER_01]: But the beauty is that there are privileges that are belong to those that are believers in Him.

32:00.563 --> 32:03.624
[SPEAKER_01]: This is why you gotta keep the faith the Bible says.

32:05.464 --> 32:09.006
[SPEAKER_01]: Because remember the Bible says that without faith it's impossible to please God.

32:10.306 --> 32:13.707
[SPEAKER_01]: This is also why there's such an attack against your life.

32:15.343 --> 32:24.170
[SPEAKER_01]: against your finances, against your health, against your relationships, your whatever it may be because you're walking in and living in faith in God.

32:25.771 --> 32:29.114
[SPEAKER_01]: Faith in His, immeasurably, great power.

32:30.775 --> 32:32.577
[SPEAKER_01]: All demonic attacks against you.

32:32.597 --> 32:36.140
[SPEAKER_01]: All negative reports that's been spoken over you.

32:36.520 --> 32:38.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Every bit of fear that has tried to come on you.

32:39.082 --> 32:40.683
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not an attack on you.

32:40.803 --> 32:42.545
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an attack on the faith in you.

32:45.108 --> 32:46.229
[SPEAKER_01]: And you need to understand that.

32:48.710 --> 32:52.892
[SPEAKER_01]: But greater as he who is in me, than he who is in the world.

32:53.392 --> 32:54.053
[SPEAKER_01]: Amen, Susan.

32:54.433 --> 32:55.834
[SPEAKER_01]: Greater as he who is in me.

32:56.794 --> 32:57.494
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

32:58.935 --> 33:04.998
[SPEAKER_01]: And hear me today church, the greatest threat to darkness is not a dynamic preacher.

33:06.939 --> 33:12.322
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a cool church or an awesome worship man.

33:12.342 --> 33:12.382
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

33:14.540 --> 33:21.604
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a believer who can pray and walk in faith and declare that with God, all things are possible.

33:21.664 --> 33:22.385
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

33:23.005 --> 33:38.194
[SPEAKER_01]: The most dangerous thing to the enemy and his territory and his camp is when you understand that you got the power of God and you can walk in faith and you can cast out demons and you can pray for the sick and you can do all those things that God intended for us to do.

33:38.494 --> 33:41.176
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the most dangerous thing to the enemy's camp.

33:42.516 --> 33:43.417
[SPEAKER_01]: Glory to God.

33:45.375 --> 33:46.055
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

33:52.297 --> 33:54.637
[SPEAKER_01]: You can change the world with just one believer.

33:57.558 --> 34:00.919
[SPEAKER_01]: One power filled believer can change the world.

34:01.859 --> 34:07.361
[SPEAKER_01]: You can unlock the supernatural power in your life simply by believing God.

34:08.861 --> 34:10.022
[SPEAKER_01]: Simply by believing Him.

34:10.802 --> 34:12.342
[SPEAKER_01]: God, I know what your word says.

34:13.343 --> 34:14.743
[SPEAKER_01]: I know what your word declared.

34:15.885 --> 34:17.646
[SPEAKER_01]: And therefore, I'm walking in this power.

34:17.686 --> 34:19.126
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm walking in this authority.

34:20.586 --> 34:23.627
[SPEAKER_01]: And whatever I put my hands to, I will succeed in.

34:23.647 --> 34:26.148
[SPEAKER_01]: It will be accomplished.

34:26.188 --> 34:28.969
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever I pray for, it's going to come to pass.

34:29.749 --> 34:32.910
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever I'm standing and believing for in faith, it's going to happen.

34:33.610 --> 34:33.810
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?

34:33.850 --> 34:36.311
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you understand the power that's at work within you.

34:39.792 --> 34:43.773
[SPEAKER_01]: The power of God can break you out of any type of lifestyle you're living in.

34:46.088 --> 34:47.829
[SPEAKER_01]: The power of God can break that sin.

34:48.729 --> 34:52.511
[SPEAKER_01]: The power of God can break and destroy anything that has tried to hold you back.

34:53.332 --> 34:59.495
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the invasion of the supernatural, immeasurable, greater than power of God.

34:59.555 --> 35:00.255
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

35:00.655 --> 35:07.839
[SPEAKER_01]: And there is a God among us, Hallelujah, that knows no impossibility, who knows no limitations.

35:08.099 --> 35:09.880
[SPEAKER_01]: He is the God of power.

35:09.960 --> 35:10.660
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

35:11.081 --> 35:12.942
[SPEAKER_01]: Somebody say, He's the God of power.

35:14.742 --> 35:15.783
[SPEAKER_01]: He's the God of power.

35:18.342 --> 35:22.746
[SPEAKER_01]: Number one, the power is immeasurably great.

35:24.248 --> 35:26.810
[SPEAKER_01]: Number two, the power is four, the believers.

35:28.792 --> 35:32.815
[SPEAKER_01]: But number three is this, the power is actually more than you know.

35:37.440 --> 35:38.681
[SPEAKER_01]: The power is more than you know.

35:41.403 --> 35:42.925
[SPEAKER_01]: You think you know, but guess what?

35:44.242 --> 35:45.162
[SPEAKER_01]: You really don't know.

35:48.264 --> 35:55.287
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so much better, so much further beyond where we've even stepped foot.

35:58.249 --> 36:03.511
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we've all tasted his glory.

36:05.392 --> 36:12.035
[SPEAKER_01]: But you know that if you were to fool me, listen to me, if you were to fool me, taste his glory, you'd be dead.

36:14.758 --> 36:16.419
[SPEAKER_01]: Ask some of the folks in the Old Testament.

36:18.861 --> 36:24.105
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, when you say God show me your glory, you better be ready to see his glory.

36:25.146 --> 36:25.466
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay?

36:27.488 --> 36:28.068
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

36:29.669 --> 36:30.990
[SPEAKER_01]: So the power is more than you know.

36:31.931 --> 36:35.154
[SPEAKER_01]: Now Ephesians chapter one is the only place in the entire Word of God.

36:36.268 --> 37:05.540
[SPEAKER_01]: where you will see in verse nineteen where we've spent most of our time where there is four usages for the word power so when we talk about the power of god there's four terms that are really used throughout the word of god to reference his power and here in Ephesians chapter one verse nineteen and actually highlights all four terms of his power in one place in one place one chapter one verse

37:07.487 --> 37:15.573
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's look at verse nineteen says in what is the immeasurable greatness of his power to those who believe according to his working of his vast strength.

37:17.054 --> 37:22.758
[SPEAKER_01]: The first term for the word power is there where it says his power.

37:23.619 --> 37:25.581
[SPEAKER_01]: which is his dunimus, right?

37:26.061 --> 37:27.562
[SPEAKER_01]: You've all heard that word used before.

37:27.622 --> 37:30.245
[SPEAKER_01]: His dunimus, his dunimus power, okay?

37:31.065 --> 37:37.511
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the type of power where we get our word dynamite from, okay?

37:37.531 --> 37:38.332
[SPEAKER_01]: The word dunimus.

37:39.433 --> 37:41.835
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is an explosive kind of power.

37:42.755 --> 37:47.780
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not a small minute, little bit kind of power.

37:49.801 --> 37:51.002
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not just

37:52.613 --> 37:55.956
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know, let it be held back a little bit kind of power.

37:56.696 --> 37:58.838
[SPEAKER_01]: This is explosive power.

38:00.039 --> 38:01.440
[SPEAKER_01]: It's dynamite power.

38:01.500 --> 38:02.100
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

38:02.901 --> 38:06.824
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me tell you something, a stick of dynamite in and by itself can't do anything.

38:07.564 --> 38:08.185
[SPEAKER_01]: It's useless.

38:10.567 --> 38:12.528
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no point to a stick of dynamite.

38:13.088 --> 38:14.169
[SPEAKER_01]: Can't do anything with it.

38:15.230 --> 38:17.412
[SPEAKER_01]: But when you light the dynamite,

38:19.127 --> 38:22.028
[SPEAKER_01]: It will release an inherent power that is within it.

38:23.108 --> 38:27.850
[SPEAKER_01]: When you hold a piece of dynamite in your hand, you don't know the kind of power that that baby contains.

38:29.271 --> 38:38.934
[SPEAKER_01]: But when you light that thing up, and that thing goes boom, you find out really greatly that that little stick of dynamite had a whole lot of power within it.

38:40.153 --> 39:00.397
[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, wait, come on, and I want to tell you today, there's a group of people sitting in this room that you might not feel like you are qualified, capable, or whatever it may be, but you are a piece of dynamite, and when God lights you up, I'm telling you, baby, you have no idea what's inside of you, but you are going to explode with his power.

39:02.803 --> 39:07.246
[SPEAKER_01]: I want the dunamis dynamite power of God at operation in my life.

39:08.187 --> 39:10.509
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, I don't want baby kind of faith.

39:10.789 --> 39:12.410
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want baby kind of power.

39:12.510 --> 39:13.751
[SPEAKER_01]: I want the full power.

39:14.972 --> 39:15.592
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

39:20.276 --> 39:28.642
[SPEAKER_01]: Peace of dynamite sitting on a shelf is useless, but once you lie that you find out that what's inside of it,

39:32.047 --> 39:33.228
[SPEAKER_01]: is what it was all about.

39:35.829 --> 39:43.674
[SPEAKER_01]: The outside can't tell you, but it's what's contained on the inside that demonstrates exactly what it is.

39:45.135 --> 39:45.776
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

39:47.317 --> 39:57.543
[SPEAKER_01]: The second term for the word power, if we look here, is the word, energy, where we would get our word

39:59.710 --> 40:02.391
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, energy, good job.

40:05.092 --> 40:05.433
[SPEAKER_01]: Energy.

40:08.034 --> 40:14.597
[SPEAKER_01]: So it says there in the, well, let's just, energy, it just literally means the, the working power of God.

40:14.637 --> 40:18.218
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's that constant energy that constant flow, okay?

40:20.219 --> 40:22.220
[SPEAKER_01]: It's where we get our, our word energy.

40:23.741 --> 40:28.143
[SPEAKER_01]: And when you look at the scripture there, we'll put it back on the screen.

40:30.378 --> 40:34.281
[SPEAKER_01]: says his power to those believe according to the working.

40:35.842 --> 40:39.805
[SPEAKER_01]: So that word working there is this word energy, which means power.

40:41.286 --> 40:49.213
[SPEAKER_01]: So his power is available to all those who believe according to the power of his vast strength.

40:51.654 --> 40:56.058
[SPEAKER_01]: So we've got the dunamis power that's at work because of the energy of power.

40:58.751 --> 40:58.932
[SPEAKER_01]: See?

40:59.514 --> 41:01.141
[SPEAKER_01]: Now we're climbing the ladder here.

41:01.904 --> 41:03.449
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going higher and higher.

41:04.132 --> 41:04.634
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

41:05.758 --> 41:08.900
[SPEAKER_01]: We are in a season where we need the energy.

41:08.960 --> 41:14.544
[SPEAKER_01]: We need the moving, the working power of God to be active at all times.

41:14.564 --> 41:18.206
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the kind of power that is constantly flowing.

41:18.987 --> 41:20.067
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the energy.

41:20.908 --> 41:23.089
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the kind of power that keeps us going.

41:23.209 --> 41:23.530
[SPEAKER_01]: Hello.

41:24.690 --> 41:29.313
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't want to keep going when the attacks are coming our way or we feel bogged down or whatever it is.

41:29.594 --> 41:33.496
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the energy of power that is activated within us that keeps us working.

41:33.776 --> 41:34.557
[SPEAKER_01]: Keep us going.

41:36.117 --> 41:38.559
[SPEAKER_01]: Tell your neighbor, it's not time to be weak.

41:41.301 --> 41:42.221
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not time to be weak.

41:43.182 --> 41:48.006
[SPEAKER_01]: Hear me church, all of this moaning and complaining will never get us anywhere.

41:51.368 --> 41:52.569
[SPEAKER_01]: It'll never get us anywhere.

41:54.010 --> 41:57.593
[SPEAKER_01]: God is not surprised by what is happening in the world around us.

41:58.662 --> 41:59.963
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not caught off guard.

42:00.003 --> 42:04.166
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not up in heaven hiding in a cave wondering what to do right now.

42:05.267 --> 42:05.527
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

42:06.227 --> 42:06.848
[SPEAKER_01]: Listen to me.

42:06.928 --> 42:09.890
[SPEAKER_01]: The Bible says, let the weak say I am strong.

42:11.166 --> 42:22.309
[SPEAKER_01]: Let the week say I'm strong, and it's time that you wake up in the morning, and you put a smile on your face, and you declare that this is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.

42:22.589 --> 42:24.449
[SPEAKER_01]: I will have a smile on my face.

42:24.689 --> 42:29.370
[SPEAKER_01]: I will have a pep in my step today, hallelujah, and ain't nothing gonna hold me back.

42:30.551 --> 42:31.731
[SPEAKER_01]: Ain't nothing gonna hold me back.

42:35.852 --> 42:40.693
[SPEAKER_01]: And you see, you will find out really quickly who believes this and who does it?

42:42.162 --> 42:42.882
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me tell you how.

42:43.223 --> 42:45.724
[SPEAKER_01]: You'll find out, and not tomorrow morning because it's Labor Day.

42:45.884 --> 42:50.087
[SPEAKER_01]: You'll find out Tuesday morning when people come into work.

42:50.688 --> 42:53.169
[SPEAKER_01]: You'll find out Tuesday morning when people come into work.

42:53.970 --> 42:55.111
[SPEAKER_01]: Some people will come in.

42:55.391 --> 42:56.011
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go.

42:56.351 --> 42:57.332
[SPEAKER_01]: We're, come on.

42:57.472 --> 42:58.193
[SPEAKER_01]: Glory to God.

42:58.733 --> 42:59.414
[SPEAKER_01]: And some people.

42:59.434 --> 43:05.438
[SPEAKER_01]: Another day, another week.

43:08.860 --> 43:09.720
[SPEAKER_01]: Anybody know people like that?

43:10.341 --> 43:10.741
[SPEAKER_01]: Or is that you?

43:13.140 --> 43:21.026
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, come on, like, you know, if you understand the inner gear that's at work within you, you won't be tired.

43:22.748 --> 43:27.291
[SPEAKER_01]: You won't be depressed, you won't be anxious, you won't be bogged down.

43:28.292 --> 43:33.677
[SPEAKER_01]: You cannot have, you cannot have but two hours of sleep, but still be full of the power of God.

43:34.717 --> 43:36.439
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, I'm telling you, that's how this works.

43:39.152 --> 43:43.394
[SPEAKER_01]: People will say, oh, I'm not coming to church because I need to sleep.

43:44.375 --> 43:45.695
[SPEAKER_01]: I need to catch up on my sleep.

43:47.156 --> 43:49.377
[SPEAKER_01]: But they won't tell that to their boss on Tuesday morning.

43:51.498 --> 43:51.878
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Lord.

43:52.078 --> 43:53.099
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, anyway, I'm not going there.

43:55.760 --> 43:56.540
[SPEAKER_01]: We weren't ready for that.

43:59.742 --> 44:01.583
[SPEAKER_01]: The third term for the word power here.

44:03.385 --> 44:20.733
[SPEAKER_01]: is where it says that according to the working of his vast strength and that word vast is the word the Greek word iscus which means literally the endowed power of God or the ability of God.

44:21.333 --> 44:27.276
[SPEAKER_01]: It's his ability that iscus power is his ability of what he can do

44:30.951 --> 44:46.956
[SPEAKER_01]: According to His vast strength at work within His His iscus, His endowed power, the ability of all that He is, the ability and power of God, according to His vast strength.

44:50.156 --> 44:51.797
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's kind of passed along.

44:53.077 --> 44:55.258
[SPEAKER_01]: I was weak, but then God gave me might, right?

44:56.019 --> 44:57.760
[SPEAKER_01]: I was weak, but then God gave me his power.

44:58.400 --> 45:08.386
[SPEAKER_01]: So we have doonomous, we have inner gear, we have iscus, and then there's one more form of the word power that still packed right there in Scripture.

45:09.466 --> 45:15.710
[SPEAKER_01]: And when we look at the Scripture in Ephesians chapter one, verse nineteen, we'll put it on the screen again.

45:17.152 --> 45:19.713
[SPEAKER_01]: says, what is the immeasurable greatness of his power?

45:19.773 --> 45:28.738
[SPEAKER_01]: His doingemists to us who believe according to the working, the energy of his vast, his iscus strength.

45:29.358 --> 45:32.419
[SPEAKER_01]: And actually the word there for strength is actually power.

45:33.760 --> 45:41.344
[SPEAKER_01]: According to his vast, his iscus power, his iscus kratos power.

45:43.865 --> 45:46.266
[SPEAKER_01]: So the word right there for strength is the word kratos.

45:48.043 --> 45:51.045
[SPEAKER_01]: which means force or dominion.

45:53.126 --> 45:54.727
[SPEAKER_01]: Force or dominion.

45:56.108 --> 46:06.295
[SPEAKER_01]: So it is his vast, it is his iscus power, his endowed power, the working power of God through his own power.

46:07.235 --> 46:09.457
[SPEAKER_01]: It is his power at work through his power.

46:11.331 --> 46:11.991
[SPEAKER_01]: My God.

46:12.531 --> 46:14.072
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, are you catching this this morning?

46:14.952 --> 46:24.675
[SPEAKER_01]: It's his working power, his iscus power, by at work, by his crotos power, his dominion.

46:27.615 --> 46:32.817
[SPEAKER_01]: He understands that he can be at a full operation with all of his power because of his dominion.

46:35.438 --> 46:36.698
[SPEAKER_01]: God has full dominion.

46:38.138 --> 46:39.119
[SPEAKER_01]: He has full power.

46:40.753 --> 46:41.313
[SPEAKER_01]: full power.

46:43.314 --> 46:45.074
[SPEAKER_01]: So when you translate verse nineteen.

46:46.695 --> 46:56.117
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know I mean I like these Greek words and I throw them in there every once in a while you know when I'm preaching and some some people might not like that but you got to understand what the original text says.

46:57.018 --> 46:59.338
[SPEAKER_01]: Because it changes the whole dynamic of the scripture.

47:00.199 --> 47:00.839
[SPEAKER_01]: It really does.

47:03.439 --> 47:05.120
[SPEAKER_01]: So when you translate verse nineteen out.

47:06.687 --> 47:15.594
[SPEAKER_01]: It really says, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His due to us who believe according to His inner Gia of His iscus kratos?

47:17.076 --> 47:18.136
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's read it this way.

47:18.877 --> 47:30.667
[SPEAKER_01]: And what is the immeasurable greatness of His dynamite power to those who believe according to the working power of His endowed power and dominion?

47:33.650 --> 47:36.092
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna read it again because you need to catch this this morning.

47:36.492 --> 47:37.873
[SPEAKER_01]: This is what belongs to you.

47:38.554 --> 47:39.494
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you understand this?

47:39.895 --> 47:41.176
[SPEAKER_01]: This is what belongs to you.

47:41.216 --> 47:42.237
[SPEAKER_01]: So you got to catch this.

47:42.577 --> 47:53.625
[SPEAKER_01]: What is the immeasurable greatness of his dynamite power to us who believe according to the working power of his endowed power and dominion?

47:54.286 --> 47:55.046
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

47:56.527 --> 47:58.189
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what's at work within you.

48:00.370 --> 48:00.791
[SPEAKER_01]: Right there.

48:01.031 --> 48:02.292
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what's work within you.

48:03.758 --> 48:12.603
[SPEAKER_01]: Not, you know, you say, well, you know, I get my own strength from, you know, my eight hours of sleep and eating right and all this.

48:12.723 --> 48:13.764
[SPEAKER_01]: No, you don't.

48:18.326 --> 48:22.989
[SPEAKER_01]: Because sometimes I can get eight hours of sleep and eat healthy and still feel, but

48:25.305 --> 48:26.926
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, come on, there's already real people in here.

48:27.827 --> 48:30.989
[SPEAKER_01]: So the only way to avoid that is if I tap into his power.

48:31.889 --> 48:39.715
[SPEAKER_01]: If I say glory to God, I got eight hours of sleep and I'm eating right and I'm drinking water and I feel real great because his power is at work within me.

48:42.196 --> 48:43.537
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a different way of living.

48:43.838 --> 48:46.039
[SPEAKER_01]: See, you got to change how you live.

48:46.720 --> 48:48.321
[SPEAKER_01]: You got to change your perspective.

48:50.002 --> 48:50.982
[SPEAKER_01]: You got to shift things.

48:52.483 --> 48:54.365
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the way we're designed to live church.

48:55.423 --> 48:56.504
[SPEAKER_01]: Walkin' in his power.

48:57.685 --> 48:58.626
[SPEAKER_01]: Walkin' in his power.

49:00.347 --> 49:01.108
[SPEAKER_01]: Glory to God.

49:04.290 --> 49:08.113
[SPEAKER_01]: I just want something real soft behind me.

49:08.794 --> 49:09.635
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care who.

49:10.375 --> 49:11.716
[SPEAKER_01]: Somebody that feels annoying to me.

49:12.817 --> 49:15.379
[SPEAKER_01]: Jesse, Josh, hello.

49:16.380 --> 49:18.402
[SPEAKER_01]: Isaac, I just need one person.

49:20.736 --> 49:25.458
[SPEAKER_01]: Well Josh is retiring work and that's a devil that needs to be cast out in Jesus' name.

49:29.880 --> 49:33.181
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I ain't gonna do that because I ain't gonna be responsible for worst damage.

49:37.283 --> 49:37.883
[SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah.

49:39.584 --> 49:40.264
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you Lord.

49:40.444 --> 49:41.025
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you Lord.

49:45.467 --> 49:48.388
[SPEAKER_01]: So according to what Scripture teaches us,

49:49.963 --> 49:53.444
[SPEAKER_01]: that we just read, that we just dove in together.

49:55.944 --> 50:01.626
[SPEAKER_01]: You have the power of God which contains dynamite and energy.

50:03.446 --> 50:12.808
[SPEAKER_01]: It is endowed from the throne room of God upon you because of his dominion.

50:14.897 --> 50:19.780
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he says, then he later tells us, he says, now I've given you all dominion.

50:20.521 --> 50:20.861
[SPEAKER_01]: Whoa!

50:22.002 --> 50:28.486
[SPEAKER_01]: Wait a second, all of this power is already at work because of your power, your dominion, and then you say you've given me that?

50:33.350 --> 50:36.232
[SPEAKER_01]: No wonder I can lay my hands on the sick and they'll recover.

50:38.280 --> 50:38.620
[SPEAKER_01]: Right?

50:39.560 --> 50:46.862
[SPEAKER_01]: No wonder I can, I can pray and believe for somebody and God will move and God will work and the power will be activated.

50:47.182 --> 50:47.882
[SPEAKER_01]: No wonder.

50:49.522 --> 50:52.803
[SPEAKER_01]: Because he said, hey, this is who I am.

50:53.163 --> 50:54.683
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I'm handed it over to you.

50:55.763 --> 50:57.304
[SPEAKER_01]: That doesn't change who he is.

50:58.304 --> 50:59.824
[SPEAKER_01]: It actually makes him even greater.

50:59.844 --> 51:03.225
[SPEAKER_01]: He says now I've put all that in you.

51:06.285 --> 51:09.548
[SPEAKER_01]: So we got to walk in his power.

51:12.450 --> 51:14.252
