Amen And he is sure to fulfill every single promise like his word says amen Come on. This is the God whom we worship. This is the God who we praise and we give him all the glory today Come on church. Let's lift those hands right now chorus with angels the Bible says the night We as the Lord God Almighty Take your eyes off of your problem. Take your eyes off of your own shame, guilt, whatever you came with Just fix your eyes heavenward right now And Jesus seated at the right hand of God victorious triumphant risen Lifted above every name as we exalt you Jesus we honor you Jesus will lift up your name You're a holy, you're a mighty God. You're the first and the last you the Alpha the Omega Jesus you the beginning and the end Jesus you the healer made the truth in life Jesus you the living bread you're the nations that are watching us on live stream We'll lift up your name right now in our life above our problems above our sickness above our struggles Jesus be lift be exalted hallelujah We welcome you to this worship Place like we were singing today. I believe this is a place of miracles You and I have experienced those miracles when we gave our life to Jesus. Would you say a man? Come on. Would you say praise God? If you're coming for the first time we welcome you those of you watching us on live stream We welcome you as well We want to take a moment right now and pray and expect those miracles Last Sunday, we were praying for healing. You know the Bible says God What about doing Jesus went about doing good healing those oppressed by the devil so many great testimonies came in And I want my wife to just read two of them. They came in just from last Sunday Come on Come on those of you on YouTube and and on zoom get ready I want us to prepare our hearts right now to pray For or something that I believe God wants to do this morning with people that are here in this place and those watching us online We're gonna be God who heals. He also God who provides We're gonna be praying for a supernatural supply God's supernatural intervention in our life in the area of Finances in the area of our job in the area of our housing but those people maybe that are struggling right now in the area of your Documents, there's certain things. There's just stagnation. Nothing is impossible to God And that maybe you're it's not you but it's your mom or dad that is facing that right now And you're gonna stand on behalf of or your children We're gonna just believe that God is gonna do that today You must understand is the first miracle and it was brought to my attention this morning the first miracle of Jesus the Bible says this beginning of signs Jesus did in Canaan of Galilee and Manifested his glory and his disciples believed in him the first miracle of Jesus was not healing of the sick The first miracle of Jesus was actually making a lot of wine Now those of you who like wine you're like, that's my Jesus Hold your horses Now the fear honestly as a not a wine drinker this this miracle throws a curve a little bit to my practice because it almost seems like Jesus Helped with drunkenness the same way as it feels like when Jesus multiplied fish and bread keep promoted gluttony Or it feels like if God provides supernaturally for my needs. He will promote materialism. I Want to tell you something God is not afraid to do good things to his children Even if there is a danger of those things potentially leading us to sin God is a good God and He wants us to trust him not only for our salvation. He wants us to trust him for our healing He wants us to trust him for our supernatural provision in our life In the Old Testament he did some pretty incredible things. He was split the Red Sea I mean we would use a boat we have bridges for that, but God split it this the sea God fed the multitudes for 40 years with something like a dew on the grass with manna today We go to grocery stores When guy lost an axe and you know, we would dive in and God supernaturally just But put the axe back on the surface and they were able to keep on chopping the wood There was a river that was had poisonous stuff in it And instead of just going finding a new source of water God healed it by a tree being thrown into it He fed one of his prophets through the birds birds eat our food, but this bird brought him food. I mean that's our God Jesus Christ did exactly similar things he comes and the Bible says he goes to the wedding and he brings Wine out of the water and then he feeds multitudes He finds fish he finds money for taxes out of the fish's mouth Peter's business is going down He causes the fish to surface and at first it seems like the Jesus is just materialistic God He's not he is who came to seek and save that which is lost, but he wants to show his glory Come on somebody. I want to encourage you this morning. I Know we have this mentality. You know, I need to learn a lesson God cannot supernaturally pay off my debts. Why because I got him That's my problem and I need to learn a lesson you need to learn less than a hundred percent But God also wants to show his glory We should have told the guy who organized the wedding feast. He should have planned better Yes, he should have planned better, but Jesus showed his glory Did you know that God can supernaturally meet your needs? Yes, you need to go to college. Yes, you need to live on the budget. Yes You need to watch what you eat, but my God supplies all of our needs according not to your ability His riches and his glory Come on somebody Me and my wife We have I call it my private jet. It's a moped 49 cc very very slow But that's my private jet. And so we took it out for a spin yesterday I put a new battery few a few weeks ago everything's supposed to be fine and then Dundee. It was amazing We took a really beautiful ride wore our helmets did the whole thing and and went to have a lunch And we had lunch somewhere behind Kenwick and then we came back and and my moped wouldn't start There just you know, there goes the disappointment. I tried again. I tried again and just wouldn't start So we're like, what do we do? And so I want an Uber for now We have uber in tri-city. So I ordered uber to get me home and as I'm thinking about, you know I have I have a dad my dad is right here and and my dad he can fix anything I'm thinking why that I order uber if I have a father who lives in tri-cities But it's Saturday. It's his day off. I don't want to be an inconvenience to him So I'm looking at the uber and it was coming closer and closer and then you know, I'm thinking the uber won't fix my moped It would just take me home and my moped will stay here at the parking lot Somebody's gonna have to pick this sucker up. And so I canceled the uber. Yeah, I paid five bucks Sorry, whoever was there on the way there You got my penalty for five bucks and I called my dad and I said that I got a problem I I have a moped. It just won't start my dad's like, yeah, I'll go get my tools and we'll see what we can do You know, my dad came and he just jump started that sucker and then just that thing just kept going And we got home and you know, and then I bought that tool that my dad used to jump start my moped because I'm like I want to be as cool as my dad. I want to have those tools with me everywhere I go Maybe your initial response to your financial problem is to get an uber. I'm gonna try harder and That's good, but I have an use for you. You're not an inconvenience to God Maybe your initial response is like this guy who planned the wedding and honestly ran out of wine He's like we'll just substitute it with I don't know water, but Jesus is in your wedding Why don't you call Jesus? Yeah, but you know like you don't understand. It's just yeah But Jesus is good and Jesus is God and Jesus is all powerful and the Bible says Surprisingly showed his glory by making things that are supernatural. I want to believe today for supernatural supply in our life In Jesus name. We're not talking about healthy wealthy driving Bentley and private jet We're talking about the glory of God being manifested in their practical everyday life Maybe you have different things in your house right now that are not working including washer dryer and you don't have the money to fix them Maybe you have a car that's not working and you're gonna have the money to fix them Maybe you're applied for a for a job and you really been three months without a job and you're desperate already I want to believe for a miracle in your situation Maybe you have a lot of debt right now and you're like man. There was no way in this world I don't want to file for bankruptcy that I can pay this off. I have a news for you God actually created a year of Jubilee where once in 50 years. He wiped everybody's debt He can do supernaturally the same thing in your life. This is not promoting Irresponsible behavior. This is not promoting us spending over what we're making But this is God stepping in and saying I can suspend natural laws to show my glory a Miracle is God's suspending a natural law temporarily to show his power He doesn't do it permanently, but he does it temporarily to show his glory Some of you move to tri-cities and right now you're struggling You need that God to fill your nets with fish for God to just give a turnaround to your business Let's agree right now. Now. There's some of you. You came and you look man, dude. That's cool and stuff God is I'm not gonna ask God for those things. That's fine. He won't do it for you I want to speak to those who are like you simple-minded in the sense. You're like, yeah, that's right I have a God. He loves me. He doesn't live in Pasco and I mean, can we he lives in my heart all I gotta do is ask Can we agree? I want to agree with those that came in today and you believe for a supernatural miracle in the area of your job your career Or your finances that are people maybe your car gets stolen and you don't have a car right now I want to believe that God will supernaturally I've had a car stolen and I prayed six seven hours later the guy who stole the car dropped the car in East Pasco with a note I am sorry for stealing your car Maybe you got something taken from you or you lost something you constant lose things Listen if the guy lost an axe in the river and it floated up God can cause those things to come back We serve what I'm saying is this we serve a God who is supernatural and I want to believe for supernatural today Amen Amen, let's begin to pray right now. I want you to I want you to stretch your hands like this We're just gonna come to God in the receiving position Like like Mary asked Jesus Jesus we ran out of wine could you help us the way there is no magic to this You can just ask Jesus say Jesus. I need help. I have this financial debt Jesus. I need help I have this medical bills Jesus. I need help. We're looking for the house for six months Jesus. I need help I don't qualify for this, but I ask you for your help Jesus I want to go back to school But I just cannot because of this and this and that but I'm asking for your supernatural intervention right now Jesus if you split the Red Sea I want you to split this problem for in front of me so that I can walk through Jesus show your glory in my situation right now Jesus show your glory in my problem right now. I invite your glory in Jesus name. Come on Son and daughter of yours watching us on live stream and in this auditorium right now Those that will be rewatching Lord we pray for those people that are right now at the dead end for those people God Naturally they cannot climb out of this situation Lord as you did it for Israel There was no way they could be fed for 40 years in the wilderness. There was no factories There was nothing God, but you supernaturally provided for them. You fed your servant Elijah for many years We ask you that you will supernaturally in the midst of inflation in the midst of rising gas prices that you will bring Your wind that will bring your quail God as you provided for Abraham an amount that she will provide for us Supernaturally what I ask you for open doors when they've been previously closed I ask you Lord for closed doors that they've been previously all answers Lord And it seems that we can't catch a break spirit of the living God We invite you glory we ask you God to make for a family and we will have this this man That is not able to catch a break. Let there be a supernatural force is holding them hostage Lord I am who turned water Fortunous situation of God. I want you to raise your hand right now to the Lord for those of you who have that faith Would you agree with me those of you on live stream as well stretch out your hands to God? Whatever you are sitting if you're driving don't raise your hands keep your hands on the wheel But you can raise your hands if you are not driving and just without begin to take next few seconds I say God I believe in you God I trust in you and God you are my father and you said if I ask for bread You are not gonna ignore me 60 seconds. Just worship him for that 60 seconds This reason for those people who have equipment for those people who have electronics or things that are broken And they don't work that they will work again in Jesus name Lord I speak right now together I agree with your word that you will send your angels God things that are lost or things that were stolen that they Will be returned in Jesus name father in the name of Jesus Christ We come in agreement right now the things that have been taken by courts or maybe ill Unlawfully that have been taken from them that inheritance that they will be released in Jesus name Lord I ask you in the name of Jesus Christ that the document stuck in the court system Where maybe their status or something is Jesus mighty name Let there be favor that will be released Lord for your glory to be seen and for us to have faith in you Lord God not as just the God of yesterday But as the God of today and forever the same in Jesus mighty name Hallelujah, if you believe in the prayer that we prayed that God hears it and God loves us and he will respond Give the Lord some praise right now those of you online I want you to walk with expectation this week that God is gonna do something good in your life Because he is a good God a man Would you greet your neighbor on your right and on your left as you take a seat in the presence of the Lord? If you're watching us online for those of you that are on zoom as well We want to see you want to say hi to you so go ahead and turn on your camera Let us know where you're watching us from on YouTube and on Facebook Don't forget to share this broadcast as well as you're rewatching you're part of our family We love you. I believe church that God is preparing us to take us deeper in his glory. I Believe God is preparing hungry Jen To take us deeper in him so that he can go he can take us wider with him And so he can get us higher for him Let's say that again. God is preparing to take hungry Jen deeper with him Deeper in him so he can take us higher and so he can take us wider I believe the Lord is preparing our ministry to touch the world not only through the preaching not only for the through the Teaching not only through even deliverance, but through healing through signs and through wonders through the name of Jesus Christ At the ministry of hungry Jen as today we see our young minister Zack He's preaching in another state and then again He's preaching in the next few days in another state and God is using our ministers to touch the world We have a vision to touch thousands locally and millions globally for those of you who are watching us By the way, we are in Pasco, Washington Tri-Cities Washington a lot of people come from tri-cities to our church and they're like we've been watching you for years We did not know you're in our town So I know this amazing building looks like it's in Seattle. Seattle has nothing like this Tri-Cities is the place to be and we love tri-cities. Amen. Hallelujah Amen, and so we welcome you any time you're making a you're looking for a place to visit That's like so cool and so amazing unlike any place in the world Tri-Cities has to be on your bucket list Niagara Falls. Yeah, I don't know about that the other places yeah, but what tri-cities is Amazing Amen I want to speak to us this morning for just a few moments not only how we can experience a miracle or a sign But how we can be in a position to experience wonders and signs In joshua, it says joshua chapter 6 I apologize in joshua chapter 3 verse 5 says and joshua said to the people Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow The lord will do wonders among you rubim if you can be kind to give me a clock so that I Don't thank you I'm gonna start again joshua 3 5 And joshua said to the people sanctify yourselves For tomorrow the lord will do wonders not just a wonder Wonders meaning plural more than one There's gonna be a domino effect of god's power Tomorrow god will do wonders in your midst spiritual things They work by three main principles the right soil the right seed and the right season The right soil is the environment that you are in you cannot spiritually grow if you are in a wrong environment Bananas do not grow in alaska because of environment You can have all the right decisions if you're not in a spiritually conducive environment for growth You won't it won't work some of you. That's why you came to our church is because this is an environment where those things will work There's a spiritual environment dynamic environment that is taking place. You need to be in the right environment somebody say environment So there's a soil but secondly there has to be right seeds See you can be in a proper environment, but if you're not planting the seeds in that environment you will not reap a harvest For example, if you're in the right place, but you're not making the right decisions You're not praying when that church is praying on Wednesday morning You're sleeping in when we're praying when we're fasting like that's for somebody else So meaning you have a really good soil. You're just not planting anything into that soil Then what happens is that soil even though it's fruitful in your life. You will be fruitless It will produce weeds it will not produce harvest And so not only we need a right soil We also need to plant the right seeds But you can plant the right seeds in the wrong soil and you won't get a good harvest And we not only need a right soil somebody say soil Somebody say seeds And see planting seeds are decisions is what we're going to talk about this morning Paul says in Galatians in Galatians chapter 6 verses 7 he says do not be deceived God is not mocked for whatever a man sows He also will reap for he who sows into his flesh will so that's a soil will of the flesh reap corruption But he who sows into the spirit. So that's our environment. That's our soil But we sow something will reap out of the spirit of our lasting life Let us not grow weary while doing good for in due season somebody say due season We will reap if we do not lose heart. So we have a soil That's our environment that we're sowing into We have our seeds. That's the decisions we are taking our fasting our prayer our bible reading separation from the world Sanctify yourselves meaning separate yourself. That's our seeds. And then there's one more somebody say season The bible says and in the due season Meaning the moment you plant a seed you don't get a harvest instantly There is a season there is what the bible calls kairos moment Meaning there's god's time for it when things just begin to happen Everything was normal until it becomes not normal become supernatural Things just break through the ground it becomes supernatural. See revival is not an accident revival is a harvest Of seeds being planted in the right soil Revival and the spiritual breakthrough in our life is a consequence Of the right environment meeting your right decision and god's right time coming for your life I believe you are on the brink of the right time in your life You are on the brink of the season shifting in your life because god has planted you in his house at hungry jen And some of you have been praying some of you have been fasting and you are about to step into in due season Come on God says to joshua and joshua says that to his people Sanctify yourselves For tomorrow Meaning we're in the right place. We are in the promised land We are in the right environment But you need to do something You need to plant the right seeds you need to separate yourself Meaning what was acceptable in the wilderness is not acceptable in the promised land I know you were not circumcised for 40 years and god did miracles but god is about to do wonders And for god to do wonders you need to plant some seeds in the soil And you won't see those wonders in a three hour. It will be tomorrow. I mean it will take some time But god promises when you plant seeds that will be a shift of a season hmm hallelujah tomorrow Today's sacrifice is tomorrow's supernatural Today's separation is tomorrow's success Today's certification is tomorrow's miracles Today's obedience equals to tomorrow's destiny My friend a lot of us Are discouraged to make sacrifices today because god doesn't promise that today we will reap Today's purity Is tomorrow's potential unlocked tomorrow's purpose blessed But also today's disobedience is tomorrow's defeat Today's sixth brownie is tomorrow's obesity Hey today, I don't want to go to college is tomorrow's poverty Today I want to disrespect my mom and dad is tomorrow's calamity And just to experience both of them because achon put things under his tent And everything was still fine until tomorrow the next city to experience defeat If you are in defeat right now, I don't want to guilt trip bring dabby the downer on you But I want you to examine your heart. Did you allow defeat in your life yesterday? Because everything you are today is a result of what happened yesterday And at the same time You are creating the tomorrow not in a sense that you are a creator, but in a sense that you are a farmer God created the laws That we have to work with and these are the laws of sowing and reaping Sometimes he suspends those laws temporarily, but he does not suspend them permanently The laws are this what you sow is what you reap if you want your life to change in next five years If you want your spiritual life to change in next five days Sanctify yourselves today Separate yourself today because tomorrow says the lord. I want to do wonders in your midst God wants to do wonders at hungry gen where the church will not be as usual Or Sunday morning services will not be predictable not because we moved worship from the beginning until the end But because God will move you from sickness to health Because God will move somebody from bondage into freedom Because God will move somebody from being lost to being found My god is still in the business of doing miracles. He makes dead things alive. He makes lost people be found God heals the sick. He still provides supernaturally and this god is saying I want to do wonders in your midst But you got to prepare yourself by separating yourself That means what was acceptable in the previous season is no longer okay in this season Why because you have something promised that I want to release in your life Revival is our portion Revival is not a set of meetings revival is a lifestyle. That's a harvest Of us recognizing. We are in the right environment We are making right decisions And we are patiently waiting for god to supernaturally add his super to our natural Amen The bible says in 2 Timothy chapter 2 verses 20 through 21 and 22 But in a great house, there are not only vessels of gold and silver But also of wood and clay some for honor and some for dishonor therefore Watch this If anyone god doesn't place the responsibility upon himself to separate To sow but he places responsibility on anyone Therefore god says in my house that is vessels for honor vessels for dishonor therefore How would you become a vessel of honor? How would you be qualified to see god's glory in your life god says if anyone Cleans this himself If anyone separates himself Now we don't initiate separation the spirit does We respond to the spirit. How the spirit initiated sometimes making you dissatisfied with the status quo You just not happy with where your christian life is it? Amen, there is more to christian life and you realize that state of dissatisfaction is initiation and an invitation of the holy ghost He's dividing you to separate yourself and paul says if anyone Cleans this himself from the ladder He will become a vessel of honor for honor sanctified and useful for the master Prepared for every good work Flee all so useful lusts and pursue righteousness faith love and peace with those who call on the name of the lord My friend the difference between salvation and Sanctification is the following salvation occurs instantly god saves us instantly Sanctification occurs gradually Salvation requires faith Sanctification requires surrender or it requires yielding Salvation is final. You're saved. You're saved. You don't have to add anything to it Your good works doesn't add anything. You there's no upgrade, but sanctification is growth You're growing salvation removes the penalty of sin sanctification Resists the desire of sin Are you following me? Salvation is god's desire for all to be saved Sanctification is god commands all to be sanctified It's not his desire. It's his command for you. It's his command for me. He says Cleanse yourself. He says choose my words. My spirit initiates that process. You have to respond Salvation is you getting out of the world Sanctification is god getting the world out of you Salvation is your eternal destination being changed Sanctification. It's your character being transformed So what i'm talking about right now, please hear me loud and clear We do not believe that if you improve your christian life You are more saved We are not more saved or less saved. We are saved Not by church attendance not by doing ordinances. We are saved by the blood By the grace through faith Amen But you can be saved and stuck You can be saved and stagnant You can be saved and chosen frozen You can be saved and not be in revival but be in a rut You can be saved and be in a religion instead of being in a renewal Why because you stuck in here instead of going to the next step You can be saved and talk like the devil look at the devil drink like the devil Smoke like the devil do everything like the devil and still call yourself saved That's why we have to move from the position of salvation Into sanctification so that we can step into the promises of god into the purpose of god Into the power of god into the wonders of god into the glory of god somebody say amen If you're watching us drop that fire emoji, let us know that you're with us Now practically how do we do that? Let me just give you a few practical things that we can take home I want you to open isaiya with me chapter 40 and verses three through five The voice of the one crying in the wilderness Prepare the way of the lord Make straight in the in the desert the highway for our god Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain hill every mountain and hill brought low The crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth And the glory of the lord somebody say the glory The glory of the lord shall be revealed Have you noticed joshua said the same thing you will see the wonders of god Paul said to timothy that you will be a vessel of honor the glory of the lord shall be revealed And all flesh shall see it shall see it together for the mouth of god has spoken Now we know this is a prophetic verse Concerning the coming of messiah the glory of god And john the baptist coming before jesus to prepare the way for jesus i want you to notice five things That we need to do and if you're taking notes write this down is the repentance precedes revival You can't have jesus without john the baptist in other words You cannot have the glory of god in your life without having some kind of a construction work Of john the baptist in your character in your budget in your finances in how you speak and how you live Many people want to wonders they don't want god to fix our highway and fix our way and fix our life And we call that legalism We call that ah This is just there these people they're just super you know self righteous and we ignore that but in reality my friend That is sanctification and you cannot have the supernatural without the sanctification I'm not talking about sanctification so you can be holier than thou I'm talking about sanctification as a preparation for what is about to come Amen the first thing I want you to write down is this is that this way has to be made in the wilderness which means It will most likely not be the right time for you you won't feel like Doing it Preparing the way in the wilderness wilderness is hot Wilderness is not a place where you want to build a road Wilderness is just not comfortable When you are in a spiritual wilderness You have convinced yourself that you don't feel like doing it I don't feel like reading the bible. I don't feel like going to church. I don't feel like fasting I am in a dry place The place I am in is a wasteland and it's interesting god says in that way god says I want to build a highway You know when is the right time to get ready for revival? right now Oh, but I have a birthday party right after this it doesn't matter Right now is the time You know when it's the right time to make a decision to stop sleeping with your girlfriend in the next 30 seconds Okay in the next three seconds right now even my watch is speaking right now. Oh my goodness This is spiritual Do you know when is the time to start hiding? In your wilderness right now Do you know when the time is to make a decision? I'm gonna start reading god's word right now I know you're a college student I know you have a full-time job and you're full-time in college But right now begin to build a highway for god in your wilderness and in your highway and in your wasteland Amen Okay, that was a golf clap and I felt like half of you were like man. I'm not laughing for that I'm not going to be responsible for that word in my life Discouragement is what the enemy will use to make excuses For why we are in the spiritual rut Make up your mind If you're sick and tired of the way christian life is for you If you're dry you're empty and you're like there has to be more those feelings Are not just your dissatisfaction. It could be a signal from the holy spirit Sanctify yourself. Let's build a highway in the middle of the wilderness And if you are in choice cities, you are in wilderness So it's time to build a highway for god. It's time to prepare the way for the lord It's time to seek the face of god. It's time to humble yourself before god It's not enough to be in a revival church and not to have revival in your life It's time to set aside your plate and fast and see god It's time to wake up earlier and seek his face. It's time to stay up late and be in his world It's time to separate yourself from ungodliness my friend This is the time now is the time and you are in the right place for that to happen Come on somebody number two Not only he says that the way has to be made in the wilderness He says that the high and the hill has to come down Preparing Yourself for revival means that every pride thing has to come down You cannot walk in holiness without humility Water flows from the mountain, but it always stays in the valley If you look at the water in your Lawn if you look at the water in your driveway, it will always be collected at the lowest places It can spray everywhere, but it stays only in the places that are lower than others Same thing is with the power of god and same thing is with the grace of god God's grace will touch anybody and everybody, but it only stays on people who are low Not i'm talking about low in the sense that you think of yourself ugly worthless fat no good and no no no I'm talking about low that you have a humble opinion about yourself and you live your life not about you Well, you can allow yourself to be a little bit offended and you don't take it personally Well, you don't come to church because of other people you come to church because of god And you don't live your life in offense and you don't live your life in entitlement arrogance and pride Ego is like fingernails when he needs to get trimmed regularly And sometimes god will cause our pride to be injured by the people closest to us and instead of Trimming our pride we trim relationships that caused our pride to be exposed Come on somebody bring that hill down Bring the mountain down don't switch churches switch your attitude Don't switch spouses switch your attitude bring that pride down because in humility is where your holiness is In humility is where the glory of god is in humility is where god gives more grace In humility god gives more miracles in humility god exalts when you humble yourself number three Not only john says isaias says that john and then john repeats it that every hill must come down He says that every valley must be exalted And this means that low things must rise fear anxiety insecurity inferiority timidity Has to come up And there's the sweet balance Where cockiness comes down And then insecurity has to come up Meaning if you feel like i'm not worthy i'm not good enough It's still about you You have to switch it to god What he is worthy and i have faith Where fear has to be replaced with faith What insecurity has to be replaced with identity if you walk around with this god won't use me I want you to begin to fill that valley and that was me My problem was not that i had a big hill i had a long deep valleys Valleys not in the sense of humility, but it went deeper than humility it went into ungodly False humility i'm ugly i'm worthless i'm no good god has no purpose and a plan for my life and revival before revival comes God looks at moses and says moses i'm gonna send you to egypt and you will speak and moses says god I stutter and god says i am the one who causes men to speak and not to speak meaning this valley has to be filled God comes to germaya and says i want you to prophesy he says i'm just the youth god says don't say You just the youth because this valley has to be filled inferiority insecurity. Maybe people called you ugly Maybe people called you you know no good. Maybe people called you with racist flour You need to fill that valley. Why because you are not defined by your past You are defined by the cross you are defined by the blood You are defined by what he did on the cross and what he says about you in his word and the fact that his spirit lives inside of you God could not move in my life until that valley had to be filled Now my face wasn't changed but my attitude had to be changed God doesn't just want to change everybody's view of you. He wants to change your view of you By filling it with the gravel of his promises Do you believe what he says about you? I want you to notice the fourth thing the bible says not only the low things have to go up The high things have to come down. You have to make a way in the wilderness Crooked things have to be made straight That means don't live your life with what i can get away with Live your life with can this bring me closer to jesus or further from jesus Don't live your life with well the bible doesn't say that drinking is sin. No, no, no, that that's crooked It might not be wrong But it's already crooked And a lot of christians live like that they look for loopholes instead of for a way to get closer to god If you're looking for a loophole, you'll always find one, but you'll never find yourself in revival You'll never find yourself close to god because your goal is this how can i maintain as much of my will And still get as much of god you will not get you and you will miss god You will like be like a person who's on a fence You will try to get a little bit of god a little bit of the world and the worst part is you'll miss both and you'll be The most miserable person Choose this day whom you will serve serve the devil but serve him fully Or serve god and serve him fully otherwise you will never get the benefits of both And so what i want to encourage you today, let's not live our life in a crooked way Shady way With our finances in the way we do our taxes in the way We relate with other people in the way we drink in the way we you know For those of you who maybe you find those loopholes and what you drink and what you watch And how you treat other people and how you're doing things behind the back of your wife And she doesn't see it or he doesn't see it in the way you talk and you know in your heart There is this thing which says you know, I don't think that I should be doing that and you silence that voice long enough And that voice will start telling you something else You're okay. You're fine and you can be completely spiritually dead inside and you will still be getting that confirmation Why because the real voice of the holy spirit after being ignored for so long it dies down It goes mute. God wants us to live a life without blemish. He wants us to live a life without a hint of immorality Not just like what can I get away with but god wants us to live without a hint of immorality Why because the question is not how close to the cliff I can get without falling The question is how close to god I can stay so that I don't even think about the cliff Oh, I just stepped on somebody's toe in the morning. I know this is early Imagine if I will come to my wife and I say babe, the bible says thou shall not get um commit adultery Adultery is in is intercourse How close to another woman can I get without it being labeled as adult as adultery in your eyes The very idea of asking that question will put me in the grave. You guys will have a funeral in five days from now If I will ask my wife that question She's gonna say first of all That's a wrong question. Why because we are relational You're asking a relational question You should be asking how close to her I can get that I don't even think about those dumb questions And that's exactly what many christians do is we we come to god and because we treat god as a religion or a vending machine We dare to ask those things and live crooked ways But the moment you begin to walk after god my friend you won't be asking those dumb questions Because you have a relationship that's in love with god and you say god. I want to love you so much I want to be with you now if you don't have those then ask him to give you that revelation Pay the price of having that intimacy with god My friend the world criticizes us because we live crooked ways Because we live shady ways because we do people because we got corners because we'll loop whole christians That's what the world has a problem with us And that's why i'm here today to rebuke you and myself and to say it's time to make our way straight It's time to live our life honest before god. It's time to live our life Holy before god. It's time not to have a hint of immorality. It's time not to operate in the gray area Somebody say amen somebody give god some praise right now It's easy. We criticize the homosexuals. We criticize people who commit abortion But the bible says the judgment of god starts in the house of god God wants to make crooked things straight philippians chapter 2 verse 14 and 15 It says do all things without complaining and disputing that you may become blameless See, this is not about getting away with stuff Blameless meaning there's not even a blame blameless and harmless Children of god without fault are you talking about perfection? No, my friend. I'm talking about living life But you're progressing in certification Without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation Among whom you shine as lights in the world Sin is always easier to see and everybody else accept yourself And what i'm challenging us today. This is not a judgment message. Please hear me loud and clear I'm not trying to be judgmental. What i'm saying is this my friends We want to live in revival And the bible is very clear. He wants us not to have crooked paths Crooked dealings Crooked stuff in relationships He does not wants us to live like that. We all can fall but we have to get up and understand and stop calling crooked things straight Amen, now if you're not a christian One thing i do know about you Deep inside you're like, yeah, finally somebody told them them tell them the christians because you expected from us You expect for us Not to be perfect, but not to be crooked You want to deal with a christian in the business and you want to know he's not going to dupe you He's not going to cut corner You're expecting that out of a christian Not unless your expectation is correct because that is exactly what the bible teaches us And we as christians we're going to step up our game And the last one is he said make the rough patches smooth Now this is the hard one because by the time you get to the fifth one And you got your life straight like man my god. I am doing everything right before god. I'm living holy I am putting in work The last one Hits all the people who get to first four Because you develop a little bit self righteousness And you become a little bit mean The moment you get a lot of ducks in a row you actually start feeling really good And that feeling really good can lead to feeling better than other people And you become rough Become rough with your spouse you become rough with your children and god says not only I want crooked things straight I want your roughness out And I want you to be smooth Even all of you all of you rough men Who like them harley david sins and you like killing stuff and like like you're Like even that that's completely fine. You can be rough like that with demons You can be rough like that with the devil But when you come to your spouse when you come to other human beings the toughness Has to have a tenderness in you Jesus said this he says for I am meek and gentle in heart Jesus could stop the storm raise the dead cleanse the lepers and yet he can also hold the child He can also the bible says the bruised reed he would not break meaning there was a gentleness about him And this was hard for me when we just got married because I thought because I was a virgin till 24 And I lived a holy life and I paid my taxes and I went to church It gave me this license to be a jerk I didn't see myself as a jerk. I just thought I was jesus version 2 He went around throwing throwing tables in the temple and it was my right to go and you know Why didn't you wash the dishes? You know, why don't you wake up and pray? You know that I walked in this righteous indignation like Elijah, you know, bringing fire down on people And then the lord had to really deal with my heart and he says that roughness is not the fruit of the spirit Harshness is not the fruit of the spirit And when disciples wanted to burn some area out of their passion for God Jesus says you guys don't know what your spirit you're in That's not the heart and the passion of jesus christ So some of you maybe like the crookedness is not your issue And maybe the issue is not you're not struggling with necessarily with pride or with this false humility But you're just rough you're snappy To prepare for revival you have to admit that today to your spouse to your children to your co-workers To your employees you have to admit that not only you have to admit it to God and say lord I'm going to go and we're gonna start construction on my character because God's revival is not just you but I'm as the shadow Barahanda and then you're acting like a jerk everywhere else outside of your prayer God wants us to live in the way that we are in relationships with other people In the way that we are in relationship with the world that reflects his image that gives him honor and glory And at the same time prepares us to fully utilize our potential and God's purpose for our life Prepare the way for the lord I want you to rise Did you receive something this morning? Amen If you're watching us on live stream, let us know if this was a blessing to you drop that number one in the emoji or in the emoji I want every head bowed and every eye closed I believe that this message does not need us to pray for revival. We need to respond to the call of God And prepare ourselves for that revival. Therefore, I want to see every person that morning prayer this week I want to see you preparing your heart for fasting next week Let this message put that fire that I'm going to fast when our church fasts on Wednesday morning If I can I'm going to come to church to pray. I'm going to open my bible. I'm going to start reading the bible It's really nice and warm outside I'm going to take a little bit of time to go out and pray in the morning or in the evening I'm going to spend some time and go for walks with my family instead of gluing my eyes to the television Or to the tick tock I'm going to be nicer to my co-workers I'm going to come early and leave late instead of coming late and leave you early and expecting the boss to give me a bonus I'm going to stop living crooked. I'm going to stop living with my girlfriend. I'm going to stop smoking pot You know, it's not because I'm trying to earn salvation It's because God wants me to be sanctified So you have to make those decisions and I trust the holy spirit will lead each and every one of us in our Own ways today every head bowed and every eye closed if you're in this room and you have not given your life to Jesus You're not part of the jesus team You have not accepted him as your lord and as your savior as the one who was sent in the place for your sin Who wants to live in you and through you to help you live a christian life? I want to give you that opportunity. Maybe you came today with a spouse or maybe you came today with your children Or somebody invited you or you consider yourself a good person. I want to tell you that you're not good enough for heaven This is just a just the truth if you would be good enough for heaven Jesus wouldn't die on the cross for you. Jesus says you need to repent you need to give your life to him I want to give you that opportunity to give your life to Jesus to get saved today to come to the lord When I count to three if that is you and you're saying, you know what? I want to make a conscious willful decision to follow Jesus Just raise your hand when I count to three and if you're watching us live you can just drop that in the comment I want to give my life to jesus one two three If you want to give your life to the lord today, if you want to come back to christ, just raise your hand high I want to pray with you. Thank you young men. I see you hand anybody else who say hey today is my day I want to give my life to christ. I want to come back to god Today is your day if you raise your hand or you want it to raise your hand I'm gonna ask you to do the second step is to come out of your seat and come and stand here with me right now So if you if you raise your hand, just come forward. Don't be afraid. Don't be ashamed The only thing you should be ashamed of is sin Everything else jesus the gospel embrace it because that is your salvation That is your hope amen If you're watching us online and you want to make the decision to give your life to jesus Right now I want you to get ready to pray Pray with me Good morning How are you? All right first time today come on You got thrown to the deep end of the pool. This is good. Amen You're nervous already. It's okay. It's okay. Don't be nervous Yeah, but I place your hand on your heart. We're gonna pray with you right now We're gonna ask jesus. It's not the prayer that saves, but it's our trust that saves us in jesus to say this with me Say lord jesus I am a sinner Please forgive me of all my sin And wash me With your blood I surrender my life To you from this forward Fill me with your spirit Give me eternal life In jesus name Amen Bro, we're gonna talk to you just for a few more minutes over here and and pray for you God bless you.

Let's give god some praise in this place Amen hallelujah How many people were blessed by the sermon today?

I have a powerful testimony that I want to share with you today And I really believe that we are in good soil And this will help plant seeds of faith into whatever situation you may be facing today So why don't you help me welcome our testimony to the stage? Thank you for joining us today. Why don't you start by telling us your name and uh, where you're from? My name is Yvonne and I'm currently live here in Tri-Cities, but I'm originally from Moses Lake Nice. Well, it was great to have you here today. Um, why don't you start From the very beginning tell us how life was before christ Okay, I uh The oldest of four daughters. I my parents are mexican They have my dad has always worked really really hard to provide for us and um Just like old like old traditional hispanic parents. They have really high expectations of us They always constantly reminded us that they came here to give us a good life. And so I just always felt like I needed to make them proud My parents weren't really ever affectionate. So I feel like that's something that I missed out on not I missed out on a lot growing up. Um, that's definitely something that I needed but um I at 15 or 16 I had my daughter. I was in high school and I had my daughter and um, I was in a very abusive relationship with the father of my kids um at 18 I graduated high school was pregnant with my son graduated with honors and um The relationship just started getting more and more abusive. Um, I knew that if I Didn't leave soon It was just going to get worse and I knew that that's not what I wanted for my life or for my kids I was very fortunate enough to grow up with both my parents So I feel like I worked really hard to try and mend the relationship because I didn't want my kids to grow up without a dad I know what it's like to have a dad and he's a great dad, but um, that's I just always held on to hope Um When my kids were really little we got in a car accident Um, the accident was really really bad. It was a double impact to try a truck to bone dust and then we hit a telephone pole Um, the airbags were defective in the car Um, my sister folded in half in her seat We thought she was gonna die by the grace of god. We were all okay Um, they had us on the top of the car to get us out We spent our thanksgiving in the hospital. My sister was really really hurt and she's my twin sister She's my better half the year prior my dad had had an accident where he actually should have died and he did it They were making carnitas and the pot that they cooked in exploded like a bomb and it blew him Like a lot a feet away um He had a cut from the top of his forehead down to the middle of his eyes Missed his eyes down all the way to the bottom of his Face and it opened him up like a flower. He had a surgery for 13 hours And was in an induced coma for a few weeks They said my dad couldn't go back to work It would be like a year before he even went back to work My dad was supposed to stay there for six months He was only there for like a month and a half and then in in three months. He went back to work Let's give god some praise for that alone Wow So in the midst of all of this did you know the lord at all? So we grew up catholic and if anybody has been catholic before I We never read the bible. I got baptized like in mexico I baptized my kids not only because I felt like it was out of guilt My parents would always say if I didn't my kids would go to hell So I was scared and then we got in that car accident. So I felt like I needed to So I didn't really know god the way that I do now Um So what happened, um, I guess You're going through all of this you went through the accident and then what happened in your life that kind of made You realize that you needed god So my mom used to say because these things were happening that we were cursed right? So I felt like we were cursed and I was like always living in fear Like I said, I was in this abusive relationship, but I needed to get out So finally I had had enough and I packed up my kids and I moved I left everything Still lived in mussel's lake, but I moved to a whole different place um And my kid's dad started manipulating my kids. They were really little so they would come home and they would say Things like daddy misses you daddy wants to be with you daddy says you're the reason why we're not a family And so slowly all those things started getting to me Eventually my heart became weak and so did my soul And the enemy got a hold of it My kid's dad used to say that nobody was ever going to love me That I was never going to be good enough for anybody and I believed it So one day from from one day to another I woke up and I decided that was the day that I was going to commit suicide I took my kids to school. I texted my kid's dad and I said I need you to pick up the kids I'm going to the gym when I get off of work Uh He picked up my kids I went to work like a normal day. Nobody knew anything And then went to the gym for like five minutes and I was like, I need to go home. I needed to do this So I went home. I had had a lot of like Uh pain medication muscle relaxer sleep from the accident years that I had like not been taking but I just had had it So I knew that that's what I was going to do That morning we had inventory at work. So we had Razors I had taken a razor from work just in case my first plan didn't work So I went home filled up my bathtub And I started playing music on my phone. I sent this huge message to my sister Telling her how much I loved her How much I loved her Where everything was up for my kids how I had left everything Passwords to everything Telling her that I was sorry that I wasn't good enough And I put my phone on our plane mode I started playing Pandora And if anybody has listened to rap Russ is who I loved, right? I said that that was the man of my dreams He isn't but But uh, I played I started playing that Radio station and so this is rap music. Okay, I'd never come in contact with any type of christian music or worship music of any sort And so This rap music is playing I take the first like I think a handful of pills And then I'm just sitting in my bathtub and it's like not working as fast as I want it to So I go to grab the razor and uh and I go to reach for it and on my phone A song comes up and it's oceans by Hillsong I'd never heard that song before ever in my life So the the beat was like or the you know the the beginning of the song. I was like what the heck is that? So I got up to turn off the song or change the song and I couldn't move It was like god like stay there. You need to listen to this So um Then it started like the song the words started and I just cried and I So I finally got up and I looked at the song and it just froze and I was looking at iPhone and I'm like, why is that song playing? So I opened my phone and it's bra station. Why is the song playing? So that was my first encounter with god god had saved my life that day Amen, wow Wow It's always so encouraging when when you see people here even if they like cry or they stop it's It's so amazing because someone took the bold step to share what was hidden in their heart before what no one knew about and they take the step to declare the goodness of god and um So from this moment on how was it that you've got to the place where you are now? So weirdly enough the next day I go to work and I uh Some I worked for Verizon wireless. So some clients came in and um I've never seen them in my life. They just were like very beautiful people and I said to the wife You're so beautiful. You look like you could be a disney princess and she's like thinking like all like weird I'm like, sorry. So I get to know them. They start talking They had no idea that the day before I was going to commit suicide, right? So the husband goes even do you go to church and I said honestly, I don't I grew up catholic I don't go to church, but um, but I I do want to get my kids back into that because god is important I didn't really know that god had made that first like step to be yesterday the day before so then I said He's like well, you should come and join our church come this sunday and I said Okay, I'll think about it. So then they were like, well, we're looking for new phones. They come back later that week two days later They have no idea, right? So they come back two days later um The day that I was going to commit suicide that night I went to bed and I pulled up instagram and Jeremiah 29 11 came up for a really long time I had questioned whether I was good enough because that's just how I always felt as I was never good enough So Jeremiah 29 11 came up and I just couldn't stop thinking about it These couple this couple comes back They buy phones for me and then right before they leave The wife says you want to have a gift for you and it's a bible and on the front Is my name engraved in gold I was so numb from you know what had happened the few days before that I didn't really know how to react So I just kind of was like thank you and and I left I didn't open my bible So then I waited at the bible side of my purse I didn't open it then the next day something I just felt like an urge to go read it So I went home on lunch took my bible inside And I just was skimming skimming through the the bible and um It's like one of those doodle ones that you can like color as you read the verses So it was a very beautiful bible and on the bookmark is a page save So I'm not really looking for the bookmark just kind of skimming through And I opened the bookmark page And highlighted is Jeremiah 29 11 Yeah, amen God was after her Amen Wow What a beautiful story. So what has happened in your life? What are some amazing changes that you've noticed or Things that you've noticed have become a change as a result of Your relationship with God So I moved sorry. I only had 10 minutes, but my life is like so long so uh So I we ended up moving like I said the the relationship even after separating it was still so toxic I knew that if I didn't leave and I knew that I wasn't gonna live in Moses like forever I knew I wanted to move I didn't want to be stuck and if you Really don't aren't rich and Moses like you're not gonna go anywhere So you either move out and move away and grow and I was always scared to For change. So this is like something really bold. I came to visit my sister I applied for an apartment. She said that day if you don't get this, it's not meant to be if you get this That's God. I went home. They called me. They said I was approved. So I packed everything up. I didn't tell my mom I didn't tell anybody until two days before I moved and because I didn't want anybody to talk me out of it So COVID happened and everything got shut down. My kids went to school for four days. It was the worst transition ever I thought I had made a mistake For a year, uh, I was working at BMW and Audi for a year. I had been searching for a church I wasn't sure what church I wanted to go to but I knew that when I went to the Christian church in Moses like that The couple had invited me to um, that was something that I wanted to go back to I wasn't gonna commute back to Moses like so I needed to find something here A lot of my clients that I built really good relationships with um, I would say so do you go to church? What church do you go to? And some of them would tell me and others were you know, every single person that I had an encounter with that came to Hungry Jen was always so welcoming said I go to Hungry Jen. You should join us I did the for a year. I didn't come So then finally this year, um, I decided Like back in December, I decided that I that I needed to get plugged in I have an 11 year old daughter and an eight year old son who's about to be nine and my daughter is going through a lot of Emotions She feels a lot of abandonment Because her dad stopped showing up for her and I knew that I needed I wanted to get closer to God and in order for my kids to do that as well. I need to do it I went to visit my sister. She worked at a bank and um There's somebody else that attends here that that goes there So they said I walk in and she goes Do you see that guy? I was like what guy and she's like no don't look I was like, okay, so I'm like trying to look can't really see He goes to that church. I'm like, what church that church said they do like Exorcisms and I'm like I'm like, okay So she goes, I don't know what it's called. I think it's Hungry Jen And I said Okay All right, so I was like actually I've been wanting to go to the church. So many people have told me about it She's like no, no, you don't and I said yes, I do So I went home. I didn't follow the Hungry Jen page. Okay went home opened up my facebook The first thing that came up was Please join us this sunday at Hungry Jen So I come it ends up being that uh, the guest service like that they did in february So I was like, it's a perfect day. It's meant to be and I've always I've always known since I was little Nothing happens as a coincidence. I mean, you're exactly where you're supposed to be Whether it's a rough patch in your life or whatever you're at your highest. You're exactly where you're supposed to be So, um, sorry, I have to finish this so, um Okay, so one thing that I do that I did was like I got saved I joined a life group I got saved in betanice's group and um And ever since then my my life has been so much better. My daughter joined a life group. They have helped her a lot with With um, like the the feeling of feeling abandoned and stuff. She actually went to the camp Um, I'm plugged into life group. I'm serving and I removed every toxic relationship and friendship that no longer served me So, why don't we give god some praise for this testimony? Amen. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us Wow, we serve an amazing and powerful god And he will use whatever he can to meet you where you are. Amen Thank you so much Can we give god another round of applause, please? Amen. Amen So we've came to a time of offering and so in proverbs 23 it talks about how How it talks about how to trust god with our finances because Because we know that god can do a lot more with our finances than what we can do with it ourselves. Amen And so with that being said I just want to To share a little bit of my own testimony in a really quick few seconds So though it's through college. I had no idea what it meant to trust god with my finances And that ended up leaving me in a lot of debt But as I transition out of college as I transition into Trusting god with that little by little he has completely transformed my finances He has able to bring me from a place of of living paycheck to paycheck to having an extra To be able to give and to be able to to bless others with and so with that I would just like us all to take our our seed in our hand to pray a blessing over it because as pastor vlad Talked and spoke today about those supernatural miracles of what god can do with your finances We we need to keep that that perspective in that atmosphere of of trusting him With each and every single seed that he gives us. So let's pray god I just pray right now as we trust you with our finances god as we trust you And pour our offering pour our giving into you god that we know that you can do more with with it than what we can god I just pray a blessing that is everyone who sows here in person or online god That you just have your hand over it god that you're able to multiply it like the supernatural god that you are lord I pray for supernatural victories in these people's finances and our finances lord I just pray this in jesus name Amen, so you have so many ways to give you have the qr code behind and as you leave today We're gonna have buckets at we're gonna have buckets at the exits But I want to make one announcement that every week We have morning prayer starting at 5 a.m. But we have corporate prayer at wednesday at 6 a.m It'll be right here right now now I I'm unfortunately not able to make it But if I were here I'd expect to see each and every single one of you there amen And with that being said better is not good enough. The best is yet to come
