We're so excited now this morning I'm really tired because I was I was with my boy for about like 12 hours You know because he wasn't feeling too good, right? So normally a person would feel you know feel really tired because you get an hour of sleep You wake up in the morning So praise and worship kind of feels a little bit groggy to your to your flesh, right? But your spirit says something else and that's what I want to encourage you because I'm with maybe if there's someone in here You know, I'm a normal person But you know God uses me in this minute in this part of ministry, but I'm just a normal person just like you You know that's that the only difference may be sometimes is our choice To praise and worship through something or whether we feel like it or not and it doesn't always have to be something bad But in this case, you know, I'm tired and you may be tired to you may be tired from life You may be tired from what what the devil tried to throw at you You may be tired because something like that happened to you or from from sicknesses or whatever But what I want to encourage you and those who are watching online is don't just watch don't don't just sit and Just to spectate.

Amen Second Corinthians 8 12 for if the willingness is there the gift is acceptable According to what one has not according to what one does not have amen.

We have 333 people watching us on youtube I'm not sure how many people are watching on zoom, but god is doing great things amen The word of god is being preached to many people Many people who are here today many people who are watching us Are are actually being blessed through this ministry and they're not even here local amen So that's just that's just the good news amen because a lot of us would love to go out and preach the gospel to people who need it But unfortunately not all of us have that ability amen So thanks to hungry generation Thanks to your contributions, which you guys continue to give with that generous heart We can continue to spread the good news amen amen So one of the one of the main things that we're doing here today At hungry gen is we are uh, we're currently In the project in the in the process of building the new building remodeling it raising the roof amen Who likes to raise the roof amen? Let's raise that roof just a little higher amen And uh, I believe we have some pictures behind us. We've gotten our first load of lumber amen hallelujah praise jesus amen God told noah to build the ark and he started cutting lumber amen Nobody knew where it was going to come from nobody knew what was going to go on with it, but it's there amen Thank god. We have smart contractors.

It's really not amen. So We want to raise we're going to raise in jesus mighty name 2.7 million dollars We're going to buy the two houses for the internship program amen pastor vasily was sharing with me earlier today and he was saying, you know People are gonna be looking People are looking, you know ministries are looking for you know, bible-filled young generation To go and to serve in their ministries to continue the outreach So as we're building this hub here in the tri cities There's going to be ministries that are looking and they're going to have to look no further But here at hungry generation amen And here we will be sending out the younger generation to these different ministries And we'll begin to see the same dna poured into those other ministries around the world in jesus mighty name So that's what we're doing and I just want to read this last verse to you. Excuse me this last uh, this last little story amen in uh It says uh in exodus chapter 36 verse 3 it says They received from moses all of the offerings which the israelites had brought for the construction of the sanctuary to prepare it for service And they continued to bring him free will in other words Voluntarily offerings every morning And all the skilled men who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came each one from the work which he was doing And they said to moses the people are bringing much more than enough for the construction Work which the lord commanded us to do. Let me tell you we haven't made it to that point yet Amen, but we're believing that one day paul is going to come to pastor vlad and pastor vasili and he's going to say guys We've got way more than enough We've got way more than enough in jesus mighty name So then pastor vlad and pastor vasili issued a command and it was proclaimed through the camp Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the sanctuary offering So the people were restrained from bringing anything more imagine that Imagine if we could be so kingdom minded that we would have to be told brother sister You know bless somebody else because you've blessed us more than enough We have more than enough not only is our building built, but we have the properties all around it We have the buildings that we need to house our internship program We have the school ready to go for our private school for our young generation. Amen hallelujah Let me tell you god is good and we just got done singing a song which is near and dear to my heart God is faithful. He is faithful and he is so faithful. We're here today and as I look among the crowd There are many here young and old amen wise and while advanced in age How did we get here? Only by the grace of god because he is faithful He looks down upon his children and he says do not fret for I will be with you And I will never leave you or forsake you you will not go hungry Amen, you will not go with those unpaid bills, but I will supply your every need He doesn't give us so that we can have more in abundance for ourselves. He gives us we get To give amen in jesus mighty name. So as you guys prepare your offering I just want to pray over it bless it in the mighty name of jesus father god We thank you today father for what you're doing at hungry generation For the blessings that are falling upon each member who is here today And we just ask right now in jesus mighty name that you would bless their offerings in jesus mighty name.

Let's give it up for katie Could you please stand right here? Thank you Awesome. So thank you so much for agreeing to share your testimony Would you please start sharing with What was the thing that was going on in your life and how you met jesus? Well, thank you for having me and glory be to jesus So about two years ago, I Had accomplished a lot in my life and from every outside Glance people would look at me and think oh, she's so successful. She's done all these things, but Internally, I was broken and empty and I had a lot of anxiety and I was searching and through my searching I started really dabbling into what I didn't know was named new age I just knew that I was Really wanting to find some some truth Where are things founded like what is truth? Who defines truth? You know I I just kept taking these opinions from all of these people and First it started with doing vision boards And then I started really getting into the power of manifestation To the point where I would wear pieces of jewelry and By wearing the jewelry it would symbolize like what I was manifesting in my own life because in my understanding from from everything I was learning is like We are created in God's image. So we are God and God is within us and that is the message that is told and so If you harness this then you can create whatever reality you want for yourself and so I started to really Believe in this and I would wear these pieces of jewelry and I would manifest these things into my life And I began to manifest large amounts of money and have this outward appearance of success and people would come to me I did business coaching. I did you know all kinds of things in the social media world and I just Still felt empty And I had so much anxiety and I had a I have four children, but I had like Resentment for my children And so I just was searching Um And so I started doing meditation And I said well, maybe I can find peace And so I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Come on. You're doing so great. Come on. Let's give her a round of applause Every single person on this planet earth is searching for God They don't know what they're searching for sometimes But they're searching for that fulfillment And as she was searching and also dambling into those ways that are not Christ ways to find the truth She was doing meditation And while you were doing that meditation, what happened to you? Well, right before I was doing the meditation. I God always puts somebody in your life. So all of you are Christians You're going to go into people's lives who are not Christian and just your presence of being there is so impactful to them Um, and so I had a babysitter who was in my life And she would come to my house and watch my kids and she was a devout Christian And she would talk to me about Jesus all the time and Um, and so I I started searching for truth and at that time I was subscribed to Gaia Which is a subscription service of new age And I searched Jesus on there and there was nothing and I was like what like who is this Jesus? And here I am too at this whole time like sporadically going to church I don't you know, it's just insane that I professed myself a Christian, but I didn't know what it meant to be born again I didn't know who Jesus truly was Um, and so I'm I go into my room to do meditation and at this time as I'm doing the meditation Typically they tell you to empty yourself and and this time I had heard to meditate on Christ And so I did I began to meditate on Jesus and he appeared to me And um, I floated up And I hit a glass wall and when I hit the glass wall it was so thick But I could see through it And I was trying to find how to get through and when I looked through I saw Jesus and I saw him On a throne with people surrounding him But I couldn't get through and I was screaming. I was like Jesus let me through let me through and I was so confused. I came back to myself and I was just crying. I'm like, why couldn't I get to Jesus? Like what was that? um, and so when I started to Really kind of question it I asked I prayed and I said just with all my heart God if you're real like show me you're real And um, this was like several weeks later and I'm laying in my bed And I'm like just show me you're real if you're real And I got this image of a bible opened up in front of me and it just these words read the bible And I never I never had Even thought to read the bible and I have read hundreds of self-help books I have watched hundreds of podcasts and videos and I never once I was like Why have I never thought to just read the bible? And I just want to point something out. Have you noticed people who are searching and reading so many books? So all kinds of books, but that's what the devil of deception does. He blinds you from the truth He read all kinds of stuff except the bible think about it. That's how the devil works And what happened next? Yeah, it was it just blew my mind that I I never even thought so The next morning I woke up and I grew up Christian and so my mom had left a bible at my house and I started reading the bible and I read john and I read Luke and as soon as I got done with Luke I understood I understood the truth and I was like Jesus is real and he is here to save us Come on, let's give it up for jesus Jesus is the only way the truth and the way to the father So could you say at that moment you were born again? The moment I was born again I think it There's there's two different Stories of being born again One was my repentance and when I repented and I accepted jesus And what I didn't understand at that time was I didn't know about the trinity I didn't know what the holy spirit was. I just knew this story about jesus was so profound And that I knew that that everything in my life was not resting on my shoulders It I could give it to god and I was like Like I can breathe for once in my life And I gave it to god and I like when I stood up from that prayer. I was like Just the peace was overwhelming But the second thing that happened to me and I I didn't speak of this with you but being born in the holy spirit Is profound and I was in prayer And just praying to god and the only way that I know how nobody teaches you how to pray Um, so i'm praying to god and I stand up and I feel this Get back down like get back down and I'm like Okay, like I'll get back. I don't know who's you know, what's talking to me or why I feel this way But okay, so I get back down and as I go back down and I'm praying Um, I feel this like overwhelming love penetrate through my belly And I hear this verse in my head and it says, um That from your belly show shall flow rivers of living water And I feel it like go through me and I just start speaking in tongues and It was the most beautiful thing Come on That is so wonderful Katie, uh, tell us how did you end up with hungry jan? I know you got water baptized as well just not long ago, right? Yes, yeah so When you become born again God God flips your world upside down He takes your character. He takes the he penetrates the truth through everything you see Everything I looked at was in black and white and suddenly the world was in full color Suddenly I was turning off netflix. I was changing the radio station. I was everything and I didn't I didn't decide I didn't do any of this. He did this For me and it was just it was it was such a spiritual awakening. I was looking for a spiritual church I needed to find a place that Was filled with other people in the church who felt this Um who had this calling who knew that we are we are a temple and we are god's glory everywhere we go We are god's glory and I needed that in my life. And so I ended up finding hungry gen by just going to google and You your guys's testimonies on google blad Vlad says it. He's like we're not doing it just to like tell you guys It's important because it reaches people And I read the testimonies of how spirit filled this church is and My thought was i'm gonna go to multiple churches until I find my home But this was the church first church I walked into and when I walked into the church I've never experienced the holy spirit outside of my own prayer But when I walked in this church, I couldn't I could breathe the holy spirit in I could feel the holy spirit on my skin I could feel the love of every member in the church. It was the most amazing experience and it was just It became home instantly Wow, that is so wonderful. Come on. What a beautiful testimony Katie really quick in a few seconds. What advice can you give to people who find themselves in false practices? Like new age or maybe even a cult seeking for truth. What would you tell them? I know you want the truth and I know that you think you think by Doing more research and doing more on your own that you're going to be able to find that piece within you But it's nothing that you can do to find peace on your own Only jesus can deliver that piece only jesus can save you I beg you to look into it. What is it? What is it about jesus that that pulls so many away? But they will look to all of these other platforms and man and all of these other people to try to find truth But i'm telling you the truth is in jesus. Jesus is the way the truth and the life Come on. Jesus is the truth. Thank you so much. Katie. What a wonderful testimony. Thank you. Thank you jesus is the priest of Prince of peace amen Come on And with this being said, I believe we all all were blessed by this wonderful testimony. Can you please help me? Welcome pastor Vlad to the stage wow Such a great testimony. Wow. Thank you. Katie for sharing and you know, she shared it on on her facebook after the baptism and then we um We asked her to share guys always share your story Because this is you know the blessing that you receive listening to this Is imagine the blessing that other people will receive when they hear your story and always leave a review on google You just have a proof right there. I was not making stuff up guys. I'm telling you so many people read google I just came uh on monday night me and my wife were in tennessee mount julia tennessee love the southern accent love the just Like there's like normal america like, you know, you lived in washington for so long There's so much weirdness that happens in the washington like you go there and it's just like wow, there's like normal people and uh It's amazing. So this church that I was in there It's pastored by a past a baptist pastor. There's a lot of people know him has pretty bad crazy reputation online very controversial um but Very huge, you know pro trump and uh when went viral a few years ago Recording a few videos and just like a very very strong powerful personality a baptist went to a baptist university has a church was named baptist church Uh gets divorced which is an in baptist Well, every christian denomination if you're a pastor you get divorced. It's over. So he gets divorced gets remarried His wife leaves him supposedly gets remarried. This new wife is baptist in the holy spirit Uh starts to talk to him about jesus the holy spirit and all of this stuff. He's not he's very hesitant And uh one day he prays for her during the night because she has a problem with her back God supernaturally heals her this guy doesn't believe in miracles. He's cessationist God heals her and then eventually god fills him with the holy spirit And so his ministry starts taking a huge turn and then six months ago He's baptizing and praying for somebody and they start manifesting demons now mind you he's like i don't believe in this stuff this is for the wackos and And he delivers her by the power of jesus and in the last six months there has been weekly Sunday night deliverance services Three years ago the church was 200 people now it's 3000 I was in that tent. It's a 3000 seat tent This was a monday night labor day We started service at six. I left at 1 a.m and this is precious baptist people I cannot tell there were pastors there from india. There were pastors there from arizona There were pastors there from ohio. There were pastors there from As so many states i cannot tell you how many of them would line up and say you know what i pastored all my life Wasn't sure if this was real or not because you pray for me just in case there is something It was incredible the pastor that led greg lock to the lord some 20 years ago He's a professor. He's a teacher in the bible college and he went to the green room with me and daniel and he says guys I've i've done this i teach at the universities and all the gentlemen very respected in the baptist Circles and he says i've never went through deliverance. Can i go through deliverance? It's a just in case So i just want to say hungry jen in the world god is doing a crazy Amazing thing in two and a half years. They're baptize 5,500 people That's incredible So if you think that that church is dying and everything is dying there are places where things are struggling But there are places where god is moving and there are places that god is doing great things We're one of those places and there's many more amen Can we give the lord a clap-off footing for all the good that god is doing in the world today? What katie shared today? I think it's very very important and i would like to continue on that on the topic the title of my message will be It's all in jesus not in you I believe with the resurgence of new age and the hunger for spirituality outside of christ Has caused many people to be so deceived Especially with the progressive christianity that we as a ministry of deliverance We want to anchor every person Not in manifesting Not in vision boards not in name it claim it blabbit grab it you are god But we want to anchor every person in the truth And the truth is jesus christ If you have your bible, I want you to go with me to book of acts chapter 17 And paul is speaking to people who are pagans meaning people don't worship god and he says the following in verse 26 He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on the face of the earth Has determined their pre appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings Let's pause for a second We have a creator His name is god We did not come here by chance This god who created us He not only created us the bible says few things here. It says he Determined our boundaries God bless ilan mosque Mars is not our boundary Bible is very clear our boundary is the earth Anytime we walk away from god's principles. We try to find life outside of our boundaries There is no life outside of boundaries Life won't work on mars. Why because that is not the boundary god has given to us Just want to make it very clear god made our boundary He created us he put a boundary for us and where is that boundary planet earth That's why there's oxygen here. That's why everything is here is conducent to our growth and to our existence and to our Multiplication We don't need another planet the reason why is because god made the boundary on the planet earth But i want you to notice not only god placed our boundaries The bible says he gave us a time for each one of us to occupy the boundary that we are in You were predetermined by god to live within this time as moses was predetermined to live within his time Now you were given you were created by god We were given a boundary where we're supposed to live and thirdly god gives us a time slot in which we live We have a beginning we have an end and now let's look at the purpose for why we were created and we're occupying this time 27 So that they will seek the lord In the hope that they might grope for him and find him though He is not far from each one of us one translation says for the purpose You and i was created You and i were placed in the time slot for the purpose meaning for they will seek god Every human being is created by god. We believe with a purpose For example a person who made this podium did not create this to be set on If i go ahead and sit on it i will break it The person that created a chair created this chair not to be a podium but to be Set on that means it has enough weight. It can handle enough weight If i'm gonna put my bible and preach from it. I can still do it, but it's not fulfilling its purpose When god created human beings god created them and god decided the purpose You don't decide your purpose. You can discover your purpose You cannot decide this podium doesn't decide its purpose whoever made it Injected predetermined its purpose. You can walk away from god. You can disrespect your creator You can choose to be agnostics atheist whoever you want to be But you cannot change the purpose for which god created you You can reject that purpose. You cannot fulfill that purpose But you will break yourself in the process. Why because you don't have the power To change the design and you change the designer's purpose That is one of the reasons you can fill your life with money. You can fill your life with relationships You can fill your life with religion and always feel like you have no meaning Money cannot give you meaning Fame cannot give you purpose The only purpose is found in living the purpose for which you were created What is that purpose you would say well god creating me to have children That's not what it says in here. Well god created me to get married. That is not many people are married and they feel empty Well god created me to work. That's not why god created you many people work and they're empty Well god created me to be a good person There's many people trying to be good and they're empty your purpose as it says in here is to seek god When you don't see god you feel empty When you don't see god you will feel no purpose When you don't see you will create it to seek god Now if we read one more verse and paul now tells us what really happens to a christian verse 28 For in him we live we move and have our being So I was created to seek god I can choose to live without god meaning I reject this purpose. It's still there I'm just not fulfilling it and I live without that purpose I can try to seek god through new age through religion through good works through all of this stuff And that's that's that's already getting closer to it, but christians are in verse 28. They're not finding god. They are in god There are those without god There are those trying to be with god christianity takes it to another level in god No wonder paul says in philippians are to be found in him paul is not saying I want to find god. He says I want to be found in god I want to speak to you today about All is in jesus not in you I want to share three main thoughts out of which I would like to base this whole idea on and I believe Genuinely if the holy spirit will help us this will forever change your relationship with god why because christian Is mentioned three times in the bible in christ just the words in christ is mentioned over 70 times in the bible That's not including in him in me through him and through christ just in christ the idea of christianity In relationship to god is not you being with god is not you trying to find god. It's you in christ And that's a game changer First point As god placed adam in the garden god places a christian in christ I want us to look at Genesis and in genesis we see chapter 2 And verse 15 and the lord god took the man and put him in the garden of eden I want you to notice Before god made a man. He made a garden Before god made fish. He made a place for them to live in the environment water Before god made the birds. He created the air before god created plants. He created the soil God always creates an environment before he creates someone to go into that environment And then what god does is god creates an environment for humanity to live in and that is the garden The garden was not just a place of peaches and apples the garden was actually a place where god lived This was the place most likely was his headquarters This was a place where the spiritual world and the physical world converged The reason why is because when a snake came adam didn't freak out Most likely spiritual beings from god's realm Walked in the physical realm and the humans and god's spiritual family and physical family lived together That's why you could see other beings would show up in that realm and eve didn't run I would run from a snake eve didn't why because it was common to see spiritual beings in that world But I want you to notice adam did not join garden adam did not apply for a membership in garden god put adam in the garden This place of his presence this place of this environment of god's presence is not something adam could earn Could deserve or get himself into by trying it was god's work of putting adam into a garden adam commits a sin and adam gets i want you to notice god doesn't leave the garden adam is adam is removed from the garden The idea of a garden keep it in your mind if we go to john chapter 15 Jesus says my father is the vine dresser the garden again Except this time it's not a garden of eden that god puts a man back into god is never taking trips back God is always going forward God for those of us like oh god wants to restore the garden. He's now restoring anything He's actually taking us forward Because in the garden adam was naked in christ we are clothed In the garden adam walked with god in christ we walk in jesus christ In the garden adam was a creation of god in christ we are new creation god is not restoring Because whatever we got in christ is greater than what we lost in adam Come on somebody I want to encourage you The bible says that god Plants a vineyard And god is the gardener and we are the branches within the vineyard in first Corinthians chapter one Verse 30 if i'm not mistaken it says but because of god because of him you are in christ Meaning i am in christ because god places me in christ The same way he put adam into a new environment where adam lived adam worked and adam got married god places me in jesus christ I don't go into jesus because i pray i don't go into jesus because i fast i don't go into jesus because i join the church It's a work of god by which god produces a new nature in me and makes me his and plants me in jesus Seems so many people want to walk with god god takes another level he places us in christ amen first Corinthians chapter one verse 30 It is because of him you are in christ second Corinthians chapter one. It says it is he who establishes you in christ It is he who keeps you in christ I'm not walking in fear that i'm gonna slip out of christ christ is not a tiny little track in the very Huge cliff where if i take a one small mistake i will fall. It's not this little walking hike Was it paul's false? paul's false what it's very scary and if you walk one side you're gonna fall and die Christ is not that kind of path god places me in him and god keeps me in jesus That's why paul says to the pagans. He says that god created us to be seeking him But we are in him He says y'all looking for him We are in him Christianity Is not Trying to find god it's god seeking us Giving us the gift of salvation Delivering us from sin so that he Can place us in jesus christ And that is a game changer Sin put adam out of the garden, but it did not put adam out of god's purpose If you are out of god's presence, you will be out of your purpose God's purpose is for us to live in his presence You and i need god's presence like birds need the air Like your body needs oxygen god's presence is not a supplement It's your source God's presence is not an option for a christian and even for a human being you gasp For his presence Without his presence You have a better chance of living without air than to truly live without god's presence God's presence is not Found by seeking it. We all have to do it because we're outside of garden Deep inside there is a craving when we were in egypt we saw Something that just blew our mind is the fact of how hungry people are For a sovereign supernatural god People are looking for god. Why because it's the same way that we're just placed inside of us It's placed a purpose and we're aching we're craving and many people go into new age Some people go into other religions Some people go into and even if you're an atheist watching or in this room and you're like i don't believe in none of this nonsense You made yourself a god But you're still looking and worshiping god even if that god is your reason and your intellect You're still worshiping at that altar Even if you made sex your god or your sexual orientation or your sexual desires You made that into a god that you worship and then you acknowledge and whose directions that you follow We were created By god to live in his presence We are found outside of god's presence through our sin And god comes back through jesus christ and he restores the relationship But he doesn't take us back into the garden. He takes us forward into jesus christ The second thing that i want to highlight and that is this is god Cannot take me into jesus until he first takes me out of adam When you and i were born first time as a result of what adam did because of his sin He left the garden. He left this environment. He left the presence of god He left communion with god. He left his purpose. He ended up outside of the garden He ended up outside of the presence of god Every person that is born on this earth is born right away into adam's nature adam's Family they carry adam's characteristics. That's why sinning for a descendant of adam doesn't take any effort It takes a lot of effort not to sin right? It takes a lot of apps to hold us back from looking at wrong things. We have to discipline ourselves We have to have companies to bring light into the tricities. There's not one company that brings darkness Why because darkness is automatic darkness is default and darkness is our natural state So we're born of that. So for those of you who are struggling to be good That is a normal state of every person born in adam Not one human being that is walking on this earth who is not in this Family where adam is our father We carry it in our blood. We carry it in our thoughts. We carry it in our attitude God cannot put us into jesus until he takes us out of this bad boy adam The same way I cannot go into this room until I leave the sanctuary I cannot come to united states until I leave ukraine You cannot exit adam. You cannot enter into jesus until you first have to leave this boy adam And I want you to see what god does again through jesus christ Let's read through the scriptures and I mentioned this few weeks ago But i'm going to repeat it again in romans chapter 6 verse 6 It says the following knowing this that our old man was crucified with him That the body of sin might be done away with that we should no longer be slaves of sin romans chapter 6 verse 4 Therefore we were buried with him through baptism unto death Just as christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the father Even so we should walk in the newness of life 1st peter chapter 1 verse 3 Blessed be god the father of our lord jesus christ who according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again To a living hope through the resurrection of christ jesus from the dead Watch the progression Jesus as we mentioned few weeks ago he died for our sins But in here it says that we were crucified with him So the way you enter into adam is by birth the way you leave adam is by death That's only way only way to leave adam is by death because you enter it through birth You exit it through death and god doesn't want you to die He let jesus die and he includes you in the death of jesus So you exit the old system the old family through the death of jesus christ You don't have to wait for your funeral to exit the old nature You can associate identify and look to jesus's death on the cross because together with jesus you were crucified But you know when you die you have to bury the dead You don't carry the dead you bury the dead And the bible says the way we were buried because we died is through baptism So our baptism is the burial Why because you only bury what is dead But see some of you have got baptized and you don't even know you died You got baptized because that was the thing the hungry jen was doing But the only reason you bury somebody is because they died As the christian jesus's death was for you and You were in it With christ your old man that means you can be free not from sin, but from the power of sin The sin has no more power over you. Why because you will crucified with jesus christ Come on somebody And once you died you get buried Through the baptism of water But it doesn't stay there because jesus arose again and the bible says that we are born again Through the resurrection of jesus christ. We were born into a new family We were born into a new race jesus christ is the head of this race Amen So i want to encourage you this morning that you exited adam And you were placed into jesus Through his death through his burial and through his resurrection. Why am i saying this to some of you? Maybe like well i've heard this we have to exalt The name the work and the person of jesus christ Once again Everything about christianity is not about you. It's for you, but it's not about you. It's about him And the moment jesus goes back as a central figure of christianity. We will experience new life. We don't need new age We will experience peace. We will experience joy We will experience power pulses to galatians when christ was clearly portrayed in front of you The spirit of god did wonders and miracles in your midst Jesus says the spirit is not given because i have not been exalted yet I have not been glorified yet, but once i am glorified i draw all men to myself Not only i was crucified with christ, but i was buried through baptism as he rose i am risen I am born again today to live a new life. I'm no longer an adam. I am in jesus christ But paul goes even further if you see the book the teachings of peter is explaining the outpouring of the holy spirit in book of acts chapter 2 And he says verse 33 because jesus didn't just rise from the dead. He also ascended and went to heaven, correct? It says therefore being exalted to the right hand of god And having received from the father the promise of the holy spirit He poured out this which you now see and hear So jesus is exalted and had to prove That jesus is exalted god pours out the holy spirit God doesn't we sometimes say oh the church prayed and waited and got united and god poured out his spirit Had nothing to do with that peter did not say oh what you guys see here. We prayed for 10 days We all prayed for 10 days jewish people pray muslim people pray everybody prays god did not pour out his spirit Because people prayed he poured out his spirit because jesus took a seat And god says i'm gonna pour out to prove i have exalted my son What jesus talked about is the truth jesus is the truth god still pours out his spirit today to prove Jesus is the exalted king because you may listen to this and you may say i don't believe jesus is exalted king But when you see the power of the holy spirit casting out demons when you see the power of the holy spirit filling weak vessels With the anointing when people speak in tongues what you hear and what you see is the proof Jesus has been exalted jesus is alive hallelujah Have you noticed that peter said what you see and what you hear when the spirit lives in us nobody sees it Nobody hears it But when the spirit comes upon us You can hear it and you can see it the outpouring of the holy spirit You start speaking in tongues like a sister shared he she says the rivers of living water started to come out and she did not mention She was grew up in a seven-day Adventist church For this to happen just this is what happens when you are born again You are born into jesus you are planted into jesus god removes you from adam God doesn't just put you into jesus. See god doesn't marry you until you divorce adam God doesn't do the shady stuff God doesn't hook up with us and while we're still hooked up with this other boy God kills this and then god says now let's get you born into this See you have to exit adam so you can enter jesus And the way you do it is not through rituals the way you do it is not through prayer and fasting Is through your faith on what happened on the cross two thousand years ago You identify with jesus if you're gonna identify yourself with anything identify with jesus If you're going to connect yourself to anything connect yourself to jesus because in jesus is where your life is I said all this To come to the most important part all of god's blessings Are provided for a believer, but they are not in a believer They are in christ I want you to pay attention. There's going to be a lot of verses today And the reason why is because I really want to encourage all of us to go in the bible We have to put a priority on the truth on the christ and the word of god Your experiences they have to be anchored in the scriptures I want you to notice. Let's go through this. It says this john chapter first john chapter five verse 11 And this is the testimony that god has given us eternal life Awesome. I have eternal life. Oh and this life is in his son verse 12 He who has the son has life It doesn't say he who has eternal life has jesus. It's he who has jesus has eternal life A lot of us think when I pray a prayer at the age of 15 at the summer camp god gives me this eternal life And if I keep the eternal life, I am going to make it to heaven. That is not what happens when you get born again God places you in jesus and because you're in jesus in jesus is life You have eternal life You are a libel If you're not in the socket you cannot shine Salvation is the light You are the light bulb, but that is in the socket and that socket is jesus christ All the power is in jesus salvation is in jesus god places salvation not in you He places it in christ and he puts you through repentance and faith in jesus christ All you got to do is stay where you're planted second corinthians chapter five verse 17 Therefore if anyone is in christ He is a new creation All things have passed away behold all things are new You're not new in you. You are new in him Now a lot of people say well, I don't feel like I am new. Why because you probably are thinking about you The moment you're thinking living connecting associating identifying with him new you is not in the new year It's in jesus If you walk away from jesus, there is no more new you you'll have to go for new age You'll have to go for something else because new life is only in jesus I don't feel new stay in him and that will begin to surface in your life second corinthians chapter five verse 19 that is god was in christ Reconciling the reconciling the world to himself not imputing their trespasses to them and has committed to us the word of reconciliation I want you to notice How god was redeeming us in christ Romans chapter three verse 24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in christ jesus Romans chapter eight verse one so many times we love to quote this now. There is no condemnation to those who are aware In you there is condemnation in him. There is no condemnation In you there is no redemption. I am sorry to burst it to you But in you there is no peace all that peace is found in jesus And god is saying if you stay in jesus, I already placed you there just don't leave him Just abide in me. You will experience redemption. You will experience new life and you will experience new creation First corinthians 130 i've mentioned of this verse earlier But of him you are in christ meaning you don't work to put it put yourself into jesus god does this through the work of salvation Who became for us So now that i am in jesus, what is available for me who became for us the wisdom of god The sanctification of god the righteousness and the redemption that means god is saying that i placed you in jesus I want to let you know Jesus has wisdom for you and how to run your life jesus has redemption for you. He has holiness for you It's kind of like this when i got married to my wife. We became one We are one unit now all of my wife's problems became my problems All of my wife's debt became my debt and all of blessings that i had and not not in any way Saying that my wife came with a lot of problems or debt She had no debt, but she did come with it with a honda civic And this civic represents the adam nature adam's nature Because this civic when it rained the water would come up to where you would put on the floor of the civics A little bit the water would come up on the floor of the civics or sometimes i was splash In the this civic, you know, that's all she had and it became my civic. In fact, that's the civic i drove I gave my wife my nice car and i took her car because see this is what happens god doesn't give you things He gives everything to jesus And he places you in jesus If you're struggling with wisdom if you're struggling with holiness I want to tell you one thing you will always struggle with that jesus doesn't struggle So all you have to do is believe what the bible is saying It's available to you like for those of you who live with your parents And the fridge is filled with food. How many of you know that that is available to you? You can go into the fridge and begin to take it You can wake up in the morning and say god i receive your wisdom god I believe in holiness that you are giving me god. I believe on my new creation Why because that is in christ and you are in christ Ephesians 1 3 Blessed be the god and the father of our lord jesus christ who blessed us with every spiritual blessing It's a past tense not a future tense. That means i already have every spiritual blessing There's this only one thing they're not in me. They are in christ In Colossians chapter 2 verse 3 in whom in jesus are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge Ephesians 1 11 in him we have obtained an inheritance Ephesians 2 10 for we are his workmanship created in christ jesus for good works If we go further philippians 3 14 I press toward the goal of the price of the upward call of god meaning i have a call of god In christ jesus god doesn't give me the call. He places that call in jesus So i press in i want to reach that call but paul is saying that is happening in jesus christ If we go further in first to salonians chapter 4 verse 16 For the lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout and with the voice of the arch angel with the trumpet Of god and the dead in christ Meaning when i die i'm still in christ When i fulfill my calling i am in christ and when i die i am still in jesus christ First corinthians 7 39 it says a wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives But if her husband dies she's at liberty to be married whom she wishes only in the lord Gods like get married in christ Whoever you want if you like him and he's in jesus and you're in jesus Get married First to salonians 5 18 in everything give thanks for this is the will of god in christ God's will is in christ John 15 5 for without me You can do nothing I like to use the example of the wi-fi This ipad Does not have internet in itself It has the capacity of connecting to internet It has a lot of apps. It can do a lot of things. There's just only one thing If this ipad is in the place where there is no internet it won't work It won't connect that is how you and i are Jesus christ is that wi-fi Jesus christ is that internet as long as you stay in god's house You are connected to everything god has for you as long as you stay in god's son You are connected to everything he has for you And i want to encourage you today Don't just be connected to wi-fi and never tap or use the riches and the blessings available to christ If you're an outsider looking in walked away from jesus dumbled in new age witchcraft jesus's message for you is come If you're religious tired of trying to reach god on your own good good works Exhausted with stress and anxiety tried manifesting tried maybe meditating and medicating your pain jesus's message for you is come to me But if you are a christian jesus's message for you is abide in me Meaning stay with me Don't leave me And jesus says because you abide in me now pray Because you abide in me let my words abide in you christian life Christian prayer christian morality Lives out of us being planted being grounded connected on a socket with jesus christ That's why christian life is easy When you have a new nature and you are deeply planted you may say oh I have to keep myself in christ jesus doesn't say that he says abide Jesus doesn't say get yourself into me. He says remain in me A lot of people pray But people who abide they pray not everybody who prays abides Abide in jesus remain in jesus I don't have nothing of myself Every advantage as a christian i have is in christ And I have access to it as long as I am in jesus If I walk away from jesus If I leave jesus if jesus is not the center and the source of my life all of those accesses are forfeited Let's say you're working for an employer and because of that they give you a credit card to use for that company Because of that they give you a car to drive for that company because of that you also have some kind of a benefit You have codes to use to get into a place You have maybe equipment that was given to you because you work at that place That is what it means to be in christ god places you in jesus Gives you salvation gives you new creation says I want you to live in me moving me get married Do your calling he says I want you to live the world is trying to get into god God says i'm already placing you here chill relax live out of me pray out of this union Walk in holiness out of this union, but jesus warns us if you walk away If I walk away from the house the wi-fi gets weaker Until it completely stops working It's not that the wi-fi is saying oh, I punish you. It's just the way it works. It only works if you are in the house That's why I don't believe that you can get saved at 16 walk away from christ And keep salvation any more that I believe if you get connected to wi-fi in my house You can walk away from my house and wi-fi will work Any more that I believe you can disconnect this from the socket. It's still a light bulb. It has no more light Why is this not lighting? Why is this not lighting the room? Because it's out of a socket That's why this idea where we prioritize salvation Escaping hell above christ is not what the gospel is about The gospel exalts not you running from hell, but you living in jesus The gospel exalts not one day me dying and getting freedom But me being in jesus and experiencing victory in jesus The gospel is not looking to one day one day in a sweet buy and buy I will walk in holiness, but today I live in sin the gospel places me in jesus And because I am in jesus. I don't practice sin. I don't live in sin. Why he gives me the power He gives me the grace and he gives me the strength I can do all things through christ to sentence me paul says For to me to live is christ and death is gain let this mind be in you as it has been in christ My friend it's all about jesus rise to your feet if you are On the outside of the garden If you are disconnected from god Maybe you grew up in a seven-day adventist catholic Perhaps even associated yourself with a christian faith My question today to you is not Are you a christian? My question is are you in christ? Or are you an atom? If you are an atom, I would like to ask you that you make the transition When I was with AT&T I decided to go to the horizon But they first had to disconnect me from AT&T And only then they could connect me to the horizon I am not comparing AT&T to atom and horizon to christ because I went back to AT&T So that's a proof that you can go back to the world But if you are here today and you're dissatisfied with the state of your soul and being disconnected from god and living in sin Jesus is calling you to himself and he says come to me all of you heavy leaden I will give you rest. I will give you forgiveness and I will take you away from atom and place you into me In fact, I'm gonna make a call This is not an emotional call to come to the altar cry three tears So you can feel better because your boyfriend dumped you three days ago That is not what I'm calling for if you want that go to a therapist What I'm offering today Jesus is offering a totally different life Totally different world view your friends everything is gonna change It's not about you living for god. It's him living through you And if you want that today and maybe like katie you're looking for it But you can't find it. It's because This new life Jesus Wants to find you And place you in him If you would like to make the decision today to ask Jesus To forgive you of your sin receive him as your lord and savior And to exit The family of sin and to enter into the family of Jesus just raise up your hand and I'm gonna pray with you Just raise you up your hand and I'm going to pray with you. It's a decision of your heart It's the decision of your will But god wants to bless that. Thank you ma'am anybody else who say today I would like to make the decision. Thank you anybody else Say today I would like to make the decision of give my life to the to the lord Some of you maybe grew up in the church for a long time But you're like I have not heard the clear explanation like that today I'm I'm signed me up Signed me up for those of you who raised your hand and those of you online I'm gonna ask you to do something those of you who raised your hand I want you to come forward come to the front make a bold statement right now Come on.
