Embracing Our Threefold Purpose in Christ

"Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God. Everybody say, sons of God. Amen. In Revelations 21 and 9, there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vows full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. Everybody say, the bride of the Lamb." [00:53:25] (32 seconds)


"We were created with eternal purpose. Anything we do in the body is temporary, but anything we accomplish in the spirit is eternal. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Don't get too confused. Don't get too comfortable in your own skin because one of these days it's going to change. Hallelujah. Don't get too comfortable living the way you're living right now because this is not the future. The future is with God." [00:55:18] (33 seconds)


"There's two futures, with God or without God. That's the only two outcomes, with God or without God. You get a choice today. With God, everything is going to be all right. Hallelujah. Let's love him and thank him for our purpose. Thank him for every blessing, every good thing. Hallelujah. Jesus, we want to glorify, exalt, and praise your holy name. Hallelujah."

"God doesn't make mistakes. God is perfect. There is none like him. He has all wisdom. He knows the end from the beginning. He's not bound by time. He knows the end from the beginning. Time is something that God, God created for man. Time did not create God. And when the end comes, the angel will declare, time shall be no more." [00:56:00] (37 seconds)


"The time and space that we live is but a blip on time's radar when it compares to eternity. We are eternal beings. Created eternal with a soul that will never die. That soul dwells in a body that is nothing but, but a mechanical machine that functions and moves through each day, eating and feeding itself. Or starving itself in a fast." [00:56:53] (43 seconds)


"That learns to pray, to seek after something greater than itself. That goes through sickness, weakness, challenges, faces hardship, and yet overcomes. We learn at a young age, you fall, you scrape your knee, you get back up, and the next day you're not there. next thing you know, the body heals itself." [00:57:36] (22 seconds)


"You're alive because God sustains your life. Hello. Come on. Heart attacks are happening all over this world. There's parts failing people for fear. Problems are happening. Things are happening. Situations. But that car accident didn't happen because God had his hand on your life. And if that car accident did happen, God still had his hand on your life and his purpose is going to be revealed through it." [00:58:20] (33 seconds)


"Because God is all in all. And we are just simply locked into this thing called time. And we're moving. And it creates a sense in us that things are linear. But with God, things are no longer linear. Because God knows the future. And he said, pray. Pray. And through our prayer, through this mystery of a God that can do anything, we impact our future." [00:58:53] (37 seconds)


"History is rewritten through prayer. What a God. Hallelujah. There's another great mystery. And it's in Ephesians. chapter 5, Paul is speaking of the love that a husband should have for his wife, and it compares it to the love that Christ had for the church, in that he gave himself for it. He died for his church, and he loved her, but he said in verse 32, this is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church, when he was speaking of the husband and the wife's relationship."

"fold prophetic meaning physically it was the mountain range surrounding Jerusalem and it was the physical mountains of Zion the place where David cried out to it was also the city of God and his holy temple it's the place that represents God's city where his name was and where his glory was and where his people gathered it's also a type here of the church it's the new Jerusalem it's a new city a new place where God's presence and his people congregate you've come unto Mount Zion the city of the living God they went to a mountain and got written tables of stone but we come to the house of God and God writes his word on our heart to the general assembly the church of the first born the church is where you get born again everyone in the church the only city that has firstborn is the church because there are no grandchildren in the kingdom of God there's only sons and daughters there's only first generation relationships because when we come to the kingdom in John 1 it says we're not born of flesh we're not born of blood and we're not born by the will of man it's not a physical birth you don't come into the kingdom because your daddy was in the kingdom you don't come into the kingdom because somebody wants you in the kingdom you don't come into the kingdom because somebody says raise your hand and accept Jesus as your personal savior because that's the will of man that's the will of the flesh the spirit says you can only enter the kingdom by the will of God and kingdom entry is barred to anyone that is not a son or a daughter but they're born of God who believe on his name who receive him hallelujah Jesus said in John chapter 3 and verse 3 speaking to Nicodemus verily verily I say unto thee accept a man be born again he cannot" [01:01:25] (139 seconds)


"he cannot see the kingdom of God now how are you going to see the kingdom of God you're going to have to be born again now would you agree that to be in the kingdom you would have to see the kingdom that makes sense right I mean you can't be a part of something that you don't see and so he says you've got to be what born again Nicodemus is a pretty smart guy and he's like Jesus how do you get born when you're born again you've got to be born again you've got to be old he's probably an elderly man got gray hair his mother's probably dead and he poses this question can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born" [01:03:00] (54 seconds)
