WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.240 Jesus had a touchy ministry. 2 00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.960 He touched people everywhere. 3 00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.360 The anointing flows through touch. 4 00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:19.040 It can come other ways, but one of the ways, a frequently used way, is touch, is through 5 00:00:19.040 --> 00:00:21.240 the laying out of hand. 6 00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:26.440 Come and lay your hands on her that she may be healed and she will live. 7 00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:28.680 Welcome to the CityLight Church Podcast. 8 00:00:28.680 --> 00:00:34.040 Thanks

power of the Holy Spirit is already 13 00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:52.720 working in our hearts and minds. 14 00:00:52.720 --> 00:00:57.680 As you listen to today's teaching, remember that you are deeply

00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:15.600 My name is Bo. 18 00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:18.320 No knows Jesus. 19 00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:25.440 My name is Bo Jansik. 20 00:01:25.440 --> 00:01:31.720 And those of you joining us online, welcome. 21 00:01:31.720 --> 00:01:34.000 We got an amazing picnic yesterday. 22 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:39.160 We're just so awesome. 23 00:01:39.160 --> 00:01:43.720 Pastor Moor, community pastor, the whole team was involved, but he spearheaded that. 24 00:01:43.720 --> 00:01:45.200 What a phenomenal job. 25 00:01:45.320 --> 00:01:48.880 Class, all the way. 26 00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:55.040 I mean, it really felt like being in a sanctified amusement park. 27 00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:01.080 An ice cream truck in New York City without prices. 28 00:02:01.080 --> 00:02:05.360 Remind me of that scripture, who so ever will come drink of this water. 29 00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:09.920 Who so ever will come partake of the softie. 30 00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:14.920 Cree to all. 31 00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:20.120 So we're in the middle of this series that kind of just happened. 32 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:25.360 I didn't know I was going to do a series until I just sensed the Lord wanting to take 33 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:32.600 us on a journey and get some of you opened up to His hand moving in your life. 34 00:02:32.600 --> 00:02:38.880 And so the first message was just called the anointed and His anointing. 35 00:02:38.880 --> 00:02:43.040 And then when I didn't know what the Lord would be doing in the second service, I just 36 00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:45.480 said, call it part two. 37 00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:54.000 And so this is now part three. 38 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.400 It was a phenomenal man of God. 39 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.880 And he said, I have really one message with 50 different titles. 40 00:03:01.880 --> 00:03:10.960 And I thought, you know, it's kind of true, but the Lord wants to bless you. 41 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:13.240 He wants to heal you. 42 00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:16.080 He wants to love on you. 43 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:21.440 And what is crucial in getting to that place of receiving? 44 00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:26.280 Because that's really what it is, you have to get to the place of receiving. 45 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:28.160 God has no trouble giving. 46 00:03:28.160 --> 00:03:31.320 He is a giver. 47 00:03:31.320 --> 00:03:32.920 Giving is His very nature. 48 00:03:32.920 --> 00:03:36.920 He doesn't have to kind of get in the mood to give. 49 00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:39.400 He's a giver. 50 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.120 He's a blesser. 51 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:47.000 And so we need to be able to slip into a place where we can receive. 52 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.200 And that's really where the trouble starts because a lot of us are not good receivers. 53 00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:57.280 We get encumbered with the things of the world, doubt, and belief, and cynicism come in. 54 00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.800 Or we just get stuck in a rut. 55 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:04.080 You know what getting stuck in a rut is that you're just used to the same thing and then 56 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.320 you don't expect anything different. 57 00:04:06.320 --> 00:04:12.400 You're just, you're a dead fish floating downstream, you're caught in the humdrum of life. 58 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.520 And then it crushes your hope and your expectancy. 59 00:04:16.520 --> 00:04:20.480 And so then it's just your prayer becomes, oh Lord, help me make you through another 60 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:21.480 day. 61 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:27.520 God forbid that ever be your song and your prayer. 62 00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:31.400 Prayed once in a while, like once a year is enough for me. 63 00:04:31.400 --> 00:04:36.760 But I don't want weeks where my prayer is, oh Lord, help me make you through the day. 64 00:04:36.760 --> 00:04:42.480 No, I want you to ride high in Jesus, that's what He wants for you. 65 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:49.120 And so the Lord is just coming to us and what is crucial for us to become good receivers 66 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:57.360 is an understanding of how God gives and how God gives is in and through His anointing. 67 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:07.040 And isn't it amazing that although Jesus's title is Jesus the Christ, Jesus the anointed 68 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:13.080 that the church as a whole really doesn't have an understanding of any kind concerning 69 00:05:13.080 --> 00:05:14.480 the anointing? 70 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:20.200 There's pockets, but as a whole when you go up to your average Christian and say, tell 71 00:05:20.200 --> 00:05:24.640 me about the anointing, you're just good. 72 00:05:25.640 --> 00:05:32.080 Well, you know, it's the anointing, it's, you know, no, I don't know, tell me. 73 00:05:32.080 --> 00:05:40.560 Well, Bertoli, no, Bertoli's an olive oil brand. 74 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:46.800 But we should know, we should be intimately acquainted with the anointing because that's 75 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.000 how Jesus ministered. 76 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:52.320 That's how He got people to break through, that's how He healed their bodies, that's 77 00:05:52.320 --> 00:05:53.480 how He visited people. 78 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:54.480 What is the anointing? 79 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.720 Most people don't know the definition or even how to describe it. 80 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:02.280 The anointing simply is the manifest presence of God. 81 00:06:02.280 --> 00:06:08.320 It's God's presence active doing something in the moment because there isn't omnipresence 82 00:06:08.320 --> 00:06:09.320 of God. 83 00:06:09.320 --> 00:06:13.680 He's everywhere, but He's not everywhere in the same way. 84 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.800 He was everywhere in the desert when Moses was walking, but His anointing was in the 85 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.600 burning bush. 86 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:23.840 He was, the presence was everywhere in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost, but the anointing 87 00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:26.520 was in the upper room. 88 00:06:26.520 --> 00:06:33.000 His anointing is here, but what's required is a hungry and thirsty heart with faith 89 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:38.040 who will pull on it and receive it, and that's what brings transformation and life change. 90 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:39.360 Amen. 91 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.280 And God has something up his sleeve for city like church. 92 00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:44.280 I'm telling you. 93 00:06:44.280 --> 00:06:55.360 I feel it, myself, are pulsating, He's going to give us a surprise. 94 00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:01.000 And what is necessary is there, there be a large number of people, everyone, everyone's 95 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:05.520 a good number, but call it critical mass, a large number of people. 96 00:07:05.520 --> 00:07:09.480 I like everyone, but there's always new people, there's always going to be works in progress 97 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.240 sitting in the corners or whatever. 98 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:12.240 You're welcome. 99 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:13.240 That's awesome. 100 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:21.480 The majority, you know, to have an understanding of the anointing. 101 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:27.840 Note that Jesus, this is how important the anointing is, that that's Jesus's title, 102 00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:31.720 and so many people think it's His last name. 103 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:40.680 Christ is not Jesus's last name, that's His title, Jesus, the anointed one, and His anointing. 104 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.520 Did you ever think about that? 105 00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:46.640 I don't know if that blows your mind, the way it blows mine. 106 00:07:46.640 --> 00:07:52.360 But if that's His name, that means we should know something about the anointing. 107 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.480 Yet on average, most Christians don't. 108 00:07:55.480 --> 00:08:00.520 That's a hole in our understand, very foundational thing that we should be aware of. 109 00:08:00.520 --> 00:08:03.480 There's a hole there. 110 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:09.560 And that Jesus didn't do anything apart from the anointing after He was anointed. 111 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.960 Before He was anointed at His baptism, He didn't do any miracles. 112 00:08:13.960 --> 00:08:21.640 I remember going to Ethiopia to visit our orphanage there, the Grace Center, and they took 113 00:08:21.640 --> 00:08:25.480 me around to some old churches, and there was a 600-year-old, they had very old Orthodox 114 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:31.160 churches there, and they were old drawings, not even paintings, but like carved in the 115 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:39.800 sides of the wall of like a 12-year-old Jesus, and there were these shards of clay, and 116 00:08:39.800 --> 00:08:44.640 they showed Him coming up and touching the shards of clay, and they would fly up as doves. 117 00:08:44.640 --> 00:08:47.440 Pretty carving, not scriptural. 118 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:48.440 He didn't do that. 119 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.080 Why didn't He do that? 120 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:51.720 Because He wasn't anointed yet. 121 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:54.280 He was anointed when He was 30 at His baptism. 122 00:08:54.280 --> 00:08:56.120 It's a mystery here. 123 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:57.840 Jesus is a hundred percent God. 124 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:07.240 He was a hundred percent man, but He laid His power down when He came to earth. 125 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:08.240 He was still divine. 126 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:17.320 He was still God, it's a mystery, but He laid it down until He got anointed, and the Bible 127 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:22.840 says He got poured out His Spirit and without measure upon Him. 128 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:28.720 You know what can throw some people off, that He was, you know, when He got lost, He 129 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:36.000 was 12 years old, well, He didn't get lost, He just, He was a precocious child. 130 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:41.200 And it says that He was talking to the doctors of the law and confounding them with His questions, 131 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.520 and some people think, well, that was God in the flesh. 132 00:09:43.520 --> 00:09:49.800 I'm mission, all knowing, and that He was really just puzzling the Pharisees then and 133 00:09:49.800 --> 00:09:54.400 the doctors of the law with His understanding of the Torah. 134 00:09:54.400 --> 00:09:57.520 But the Scripture doesn't say that. 135 00:09:57.520 --> 00:09:59.960 He did that as a man. 136 00:09:59.960 --> 00:10:03.640 Now granted, He was born without sin. 137 00:10:03.640 --> 00:10:08.280 So He had a soul and a mind that was not stained by sin. 138 00:10:08.280 --> 00:10:09.280 So what does that look like? 139 00:10:09.280 --> 00:10:13.720 We don't know, because all of ours is stained by sin. 140 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:20.480 And that means that as a 12 year old, He would have had a pure and deep and really profound 141 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.880 understanding of the Scriptures, but it doesn't mean He did it supernaturally. 142 00:10:23.880 --> 00:10:25.960 Are you following me here? 143 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:30.800 But after His baptism, the Bible says He came up out of the water. 144 00:10:30.800 --> 00:10:32.760 The Holy Spirit came upon Him. 145 00:10:32.760 --> 00:10:38.560 He was anointed, and that began the miracle ministry of Jesus. 146 00:10:38.560 --> 00:10:41.800 What was the necessary ingredient, the anointing? 147 00:10:41.800 --> 00:10:46.480 And when He was anointed, then He healed them every one. 148 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.600 Then His first miracle, the wedding feast, in Cane of Galilee. 149 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.440 By the way, a miracle of provision, the very first miracle of Jesus is the miracle of 150 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:55.440 provision. 151 00:10:55.440 --> 00:11:03.440 That's a wink from heaven, where God is just saying, I have all of your needs in mind. 152 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:08.120 And it's nothing for me to provide for you, even when it was extra wine at a wedding. 153 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.920 It doesn't really seem like a need, it seems like a want. 154 00:11:11.920 --> 00:11:12.600 You're following me? 155 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:14.680 They would have been okay without extra wine. 156 00:11:14.680 --> 00:11:15.960 They would have made it. 157 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.520 We're still been married. 158 00:11:18.520 --> 00:11:22.800 The guests would have still been happy. 159 00:11:22.800 --> 00:11:25.120 But He said, oh, you need wine, huh? 160 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:30.440 Get a bunch of jugs, each one with a capacity of 20 to 30 gallons, six of them. 161 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:35.160 Send it, we're from 150 to 180 gallons of water that He turned into. 162 00:11:35.160 --> 00:11:37.880 That's a lot of vino. 163 00:11:37.920 --> 00:11:39.120 What's the Lord saying? 164 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.560 Lord is saying, I'm opulence, and I care about your needs, and I will meet them. 165 00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:45.320 And I will meet them by my anointing. 166 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:54.800 Look at Acts 1038, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power 167 00:11:54.800 --> 00:11:58.720 who went about doing good. 168 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:04.760 If you're expecting bad from God, or if you're describing something bad that happened to 169 00:12:04.760 --> 00:12:08.440 you too, God, please go back to the drawing board. 170 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:10.440 I say that with love in my heart. 171 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:18.080 Go back to the drawing board and rework some things, because Jesus went about doing good. 172 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.720 Deep thoughts today, God good, devil bad, amen. 173 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:29.080 And Jesus, He moved in the anointing and He went about doing good and healing, all who 174 00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:30.080 are oppressed. 175 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.200 Not possessed here, He did that too. 176 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.240 Not really demonic possession, that's rare. 177 00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:37.240 That's not... 178 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.520 Well, it's a lot more common than we may think, but you know, it's not every third person. 179 00:12:41.520 --> 00:12:47.320 It's not walking around, cutting themselves with stones. 180 00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:49.440 Most people who think they're possessed, they're really oppressed. 181 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:52.520 What's possessed is the thing is in you, and you're spirit. 182 00:12:52.520 --> 00:12:55.280 By the way, Christian has the Holy Spirit in their spirit. 183 00:12:55.280 --> 00:12:57.560 They cannot then have a demon in their spirit. 184 00:12:57.560 --> 00:12:59.360 But you can't have people who are oppressed. 185 00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:01.120 That's from the outside in. 186 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:02.120 You never get one... 187 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:03.120 You know what we have? 188 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:04.120 A gravity blanket. 189 00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:05.120 You ever... 190 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.120 Anybody ever get the gravity blanket? 191 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:10.120 My wife loved it. 192 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:13.280 For me, it was too oppressive. 193 00:13:13.280 --> 00:13:19.400 I want the goose down, the fluffy Siberian goose. 194 00:13:19.400 --> 00:13:20.400 Oppression is like a gravity. 195 00:13:20.400 --> 00:13:21.400 It's a weighted blanket. 196 00:13:21.400 --> 00:13:23.560 The blanket weighs like 60 pounds. 197 00:13:23.560 --> 00:13:25.360 It's supposed to knock you out. 198 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:26.360 You go to sleep. 199 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:29.520 It's like, of course, you're going to fall asleep, it's like a dude sitting on top of 200 00:13:29.520 --> 00:13:30.520 you. 201 00:13:31.520 --> 00:13:34.520 That's what oppression isn't. 202 00:13:34.520 --> 00:13:36.520 People walk around and they're oppressed. 203 00:13:36.520 --> 00:13:42.000 You can be oppressed physically, oppressed mentally, it's just a weight that's on you. 204 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:44.920 Jesus went about doing good. 205 00:13:44.920 --> 00:13:50.360 And by the anointing, healing all who were oppressed of the devil. 206 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:53.360 Hallelujah. 207 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:55.320 The anointing is tangible. 208 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:58.720 It can be felt. 209 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:07.320 Isn't it an utter shame that in America, this mystical faith called Christianity has 210 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:19.720 been so just front-lobe-inized, made into this bookish thing where people can know all 211 00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:23.080 about God but never truly meet God? 212 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:28.640 You can describe God, you can know God but never truly encounter Him and experience His 213 00:14:28.640 --> 00:14:30.000 anointing. 214 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:31.840 You are called Christians. 215 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:32.840 What does that mean? 216 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:35.920 That means little Christ, little anointed ones. 217 00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:42.040 How can you have a little anointed one who doesn't know the anointing of the bigly anointed 218 00:14:42.040 --> 00:14:43.560 one? 219 00:14:43.560 --> 00:14:47.880 And yes, he was bigly anointed. 220 00:14:47.880 --> 00:14:54.320 Without measure and he pours out that anointing on us and we're little Christ and so we should 221 00:14:54.320 --> 00:15:00.660 be intimately acquainted with and familiar with the moving of the Holy Spirit and the 222 00:15:00.660 --> 00:15:05.240 anointing. 223 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:11.760 The old preachers, they would say, a lot of churches today, the Holy Spirit could walk 224 00:15:11.760 --> 00:15:21.400 in with a 10-gallon hat and two six guns at his side and they wouldn't recognize him. 225 00:15:21.400 --> 00:15:30.040 Little is lost in translation saying it in 2023 in New York City but the gist of it. 226 00:15:30.040 --> 00:15:36.480 How do we be Christians and not know the Holy Spirit? 227 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:41.960 The Lord is wanting to reveal that and in a deeper way to us. 228 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.920 I want to just ask some people who haven't been prepared so don't look at me bug-eyed. 229 00:15:46.920 --> 00:15:47.920 Just come up. 230 00:15:47.920 --> 00:15:52.680 I want you to share on how you have encountered the anointing and the love of God and what 231 00:15:52.680 --> 00:15:54.160 it's done for you. 232 00:15:54.160 --> 00:15:55.160 Amen. 233 00:15:55.160 --> 00:15:57.640 Luke, could you share? 234 00:15:57.640 --> 00:15:59.400 Share a story. 235 00:15:59.400 --> 00:16:00.400 Luke come here. 236 00:16:00.400 --> 00:16:01.400 Tell us a story. 237 00:16:01.400 --> 00:16:03.400 I'll help you. 238 00:16:03.400 --> 00:16:05.680 I'll help you. 239 00:16:05.680 --> 00:16:15.760 Tell us a story about how the Lord came to you with his anointing and his love. 240 00:16:15.760 --> 00:16:23.160 So in February 2021, I started reading the book of Acts and I've been grew up in a church 241 00:16:23.160 --> 00:16:30.080 but not a Holy Spirit type of church and so when I started reading it, I don't know why 242 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:40.120 this happened when it did or how but I started feeling a little bit of warm in my chest. 243 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:44.680 The book of Luke talks about the road to a mass and the disciples said, we're not our 244 00:16:44.680 --> 00:16:49.960 hearts burning within us but growing up when I heard Bible stories or read the Bible, 245 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:54.000 I just kind of, because the atmosphere that I was around, they always assumed that 246 00:16:54.080 --> 00:17:00.000 those things were kind of more figurative and not a literal experience but I started 247 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.320 having this literal experience where my heart was burning within me but I wasn't sure 248 00:17:04.320 --> 00:17:09.120 if it was something I ate or if it was what I was reading. 249 00:17:09.120 --> 00:17:12.960 So I was testing it out so I was reading a little bit and it would start and then I would 250 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:18.680 stop and then it would go away and one day it didn't really happen but I just stayed 251 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.520 there for like an hour and a half and then it started happening again. 252 00:17:22.520 --> 00:17:27.160 So I was like, I think this is God and I read through the whole New Testament having 253 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:31.760 this experience and then by the time I got back to the gospel, so even though I had read 254 00:17:31.760 --> 00:17:36.960 it my whole life, it was like I had never read it before and I could just hear him saying 255 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:38.320 it to me, you know. 256 00:17:38.320 --> 00:17:45.840 So when I read, behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, it was him 257 00:17:45.840 --> 00:17:51.120 and he was there and he was saying it to me like never before and then you know I had 258 00:17:51.120 --> 00:17:55.360 all these things in my life that I just thought were like parts of my personality that I struggled 259 00:17:55.360 --> 00:17:59.400 with you know and I didn't realize that it wasn't actually me. 260 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:00.400 I just thought that was me. 261 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:06.320 I have problems with this, this and this and I'm doing my best but you know I guess you 262 00:18:06.320 --> 00:18:11.000 know this is what it's going to be like, this is what life is like for me and I tried 263 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:17.200 to change those things about myself but it just it never I wasn't able to you know 264 00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:21.960 and I wasn't thinking about it but then this whole thing happened and then I one day I just 265 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.320 realized you don't have had these thoughts I haven't all these things that I thought were part 266 00:18:26.320 --> 00:18:32.080 of my personality were just immediately supernaturally gone you know and I was the new person 267 00:18:32.080 --> 00:18:38.400 and it happened without me trying or without me doing anything and that was just beginning 268 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:43.320 and I you know I couldn't even recognize myself for I don't I literally don't identify 269 00:18:43.320 --> 00:18:49.720 with the person that I was two years two and a half years ago like in any way like it wasn't me you 270 00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:58.400 know and yeah that's not it yeah in Jesus name continue the work tenfold 271 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:16.480 filled filled filled up to the burn with the richness of him hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah 272 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:29.600 hallelujah okay come on up here Marisa with your helper so by the way when God comes to you with 273 00:19:29.600 --> 00:19:45.120 his anointing it's really hard to look cool so don't try are you all there it's if you feel 274 00:19:45.120 --> 00:19:54.640 like you're gonna look dignified Lord I want you I'm so hungry I'm so thirsty I'm so desperate 275 00:19:54.640 --> 00:20:03.440 but can you touch me in a way where if someone takes a photo on me it's Instagramable please no it's 276 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:13.760 gonna be messy you will that's part of the deal you your dignity goes out the window that's why 277 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:20.560 that Syrian commander who was told to dip in the Jordan seven times his pride came up he didn't 278 00:20:20.560 --> 00:20:28.720 want to so they have crystal clear rivers in Syria but the Jordan is filthy why should I to humble 279 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:36.000 yourself amen and God will come upon you and he won't allow you to dictate how he comes to you he 280 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:43.600 just wants he's not gonna dance for you you're gonna dance for him that's how it works amen and you 281 00:20:43.600 --> 00:20:50.480 have to enter in through the door of humility and if you're so proud and the door of trust in that 282 00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:57.200 you have to let go you can't say Lord I will let you touch me but I will never ever cry I will never 283 00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:04.000 ever laugh I'm never gonna shake Lord I'm gonna be touched quietly and secretively you do not 284 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:10.400 he doesn't come to you with a menu this isn't burgging your way right away how you like no you 285 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:16.720 come hungry and you take what he gives you like what the sack of coach tells our kids you get what 286 00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:24.480 you get and you don't get upset amen hallelujah so just share it's like being touched by the 287 00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:39.120 anointing what is it like so this past July I attended a few conferences and Christian conferences 288 00:21:39.120 --> 00:21:47.360 both for music ministry and just another one in Tampa that was on the fire of God and I had 289 00:21:48.320 --> 00:21:58.560 walked into the first conference with expectation but almost a fear of not being able to receive 290 00:21:58.560 --> 00:22:04.400 everything that God had for me but really through that experience in those two weeks God 291 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:09.120 showing me so much about surrender how important it is to surrender and it was when one of the 292 00:22:09.120 --> 00:22:16.880 preachers said would you be okay and this was a revelation that the Holy Spirit had given her 293 00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:23.360 but he dealt with the same thing in those two weeks for me the Holy Spirit had asked her if you 294 00:22:23.360 --> 00:22:28.320 were to lose it all if you were to lose your dream of worship leading of marriage of having a 295 00:22:28.320 --> 00:22:34.320 family of pasturing a church of everything all these desires that I put in your heart that are 296 00:22:34.320 --> 00:22:38.560 so precious to you would you be okay knowing that I am your provider knowing that I 297 00:22:42.080 --> 00:22:49.040 that that I have you in the palm of my hands that you could lose everything in the world be okay 298 00:22:49.040 --> 00:22:56.560 because you have me and it was when I said yes God and when I when I truly surrendered because 299 00:22:56.560 --> 00:23:01.760 I've been saved I've been saved since I was a little girl since elementary school but it was 300 00:23:01.840 --> 00:23:08.080 this was a new point for me it was when I truly surrendered everything to the Lord when I said 301 00:23:08.080 --> 00:23:15.360 Lord you can have my life you can have it all or take it all and use it all for your glory that 302 00:23:15.360 --> 00:23:22.720 was that was the opening door for me to receive because he wants everything he wants us to give 303 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:30.640 all the glory back to him every single thing the good the bad all our hurt all our joy everything is 304 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:39.280 his this life is his our lives are his he wants us to just give it all to him and it was when I 305 00:23:39.280 --> 00:23:48.560 said yes Lord that he just the fire of God hit me and his anointing his manifest presence 306 00:23:49.280 --> 00:23:55.520 becomes so so so tangible even right now and it's for you too 307 00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.280 Jesus continue cooking her 308 00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:10.240 oh 309 00:24:15.520 --> 00:24:23.920 that's a good word surrender we're learning so much this morning you pass you yourself to receive 310 00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:32.960 there's the door of humility you gotta walk through that door and then the door of surrendering 311 00:24:35.040 --> 00:24:41.360 you have to and here's the thing with surrendering I don't know if you've seen videos of what happens 312 00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:52.080 when you surrender a little I'm just saying cops don't like when you surrender a little 313 00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:55.520 what 314 00:25:01.040 --> 00:25:03.280 the Lord doesn't like when you surrender a little either 315 00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:09.360 focus some people surrender a little and they think they're doing God a favor 316 00:25:09.840 --> 00:25:17.680 God I'm gonna give you 55% the majority who lasts of the big time surrenders 317 00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.400 but the Lord's like 99 and a half won't do 318 00:25:25.760 --> 00:25:31.200 I want a hundred percent you will be frustrated if you surrender a little 319 00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:39.600 total surrender hallelujah that opens the door for him to do extraordinary things in your life 320 00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:46.720 hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah 321 00:25:48.320 --> 00:25:51.120 can you share something the little yeah come on up 322

just 330 00:26:51.120 --> 00:26:57.600 standing in front of me and I just felt this like this way just drop on me and I like I just started 331 00:26:57.600 --> 00:27:03.680 weeping and I never cried like that before like for the next two weeks I just felt like I just 332 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:09.040 experienced you know just the weight of his love and his anointing on me and it was just 333 00:27:12.560 --> 00:27:19.360 it was just such like a it's tangible feeling and I'd never felt anything like that before and I 334 00:27:19.360 --> 00:27:25.920 just I never experienced such a love

hallelujah hallelujah 364 00:30:32.560 --> 00:30:34.080 Jesus is a heart doctor 365 00:30:37.120 --> 00:30:40.080 and for a lot of us the problem is it's it's inward 366 00:30:41.600 --> 00:30:48.080 in fact when Jesus described his ministry reading from Isaiah 61 which was prophesying of him 367 00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:57.520 it's the spirit of the Lord God is upon me to set at liberty those who are held captive to heal the 368 00:30:57.520 --> 00:31:04.320 broken hearted do you know who the enemy is I mean there is an enemy there is a Satan but really 369 00:31:04.320 --> 00:31:08.480 we're not in competition with everybody except the person in the mirror that stares his back every 370 00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:14.320 morning that's who if you think you got enemies that work maybe probably not you're the one 371 00:31:14.560 --> 00:31:23.600 your your own biggest competition and the reason why we get in the way so much is we can easily 372 00:31:23.600 --> 00:31:29.040 become people who oppose themselves the scriptures talk about people who oppose themselves 373 00:31:31.840 --> 00:31:37.200 constantly tripping themselves up people who oppose themselves it's like taking a juggle water to 374 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:44.880 a fountain filling it up I mean freaking it with holes and by the time they get back to where 375 00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:49.920 they came from there's no water in the jug and they're like oh but you did that oh yeah I did 376 00:31:51.040 --> 00:31:57.280 that's a lot of us why are we still messed up because there's a lot of junk on the inside that 377 00:31:57.280 --> 00:32:04.400 we picked up on the highway of life that the Lord wants to come in and heal and his sweet spirit his 378 00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:11.200 love will go where no therapist can go no psychiatrists can go no drug can go he will go in the 379 00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:21.680 and he will rework your heart he will rework your inside heal you up I heard the testimony 380 00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:29.680 of a woman who was raped years before and came under the anointing she stayed there for hours 381 00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:36.240 manifesting for hours laughing she said I felt like it was a crew of firemen 382 00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:41.600 dousing me with water and washing all the muck and the dirt and the shame and the guilt away 383 00:32:41.600 --> 00:32:47.360 and when I got back up I was a new person I think Jesus is anointing can do that she said then 384 00:32:47.360 --> 00:32:52.320 it was like a distant memory it was like I read about it in a book about somebody else 385 00:32:52.320 --> 00:33:06.000 the anointing will set you free you just subscribe to that motivational guru slash life coach 386 00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:13.440 slash entrepreneur ten sessions gonna help you out you're still a person who opposes himself 387 00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:23.120 or herself the Lord's gotta come in and unlock you and he does that by his anointing hallelujah 388 00:33:23.120 --> 00:33:30.160 let's read mark five shall we are you all all right some people sometimes they slip they slip 389 00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:34.560 into this weird defensive mode when a service doesn't go as as they think it should or as usual 390 00:33:34.560 --> 00:33:40.400 relax you're in a good place happy place 391 00:33:45.360 --> 00:33:49.680 you know the day after the great the big picnic is always a little different 392 00:33:51.600 --> 00:33:57.760 right we had all of our core city lighters all of them put in a 12 hour day and then they were like 393 00:33:57.760 --> 00:34:05.280 Jesus you know I love you but I shared I shared the word yesterday and I fellowship yesterday 394 00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:11.200 and I had quite an Ian community yesterday you don't mind if I don't it's like no I don't mind so 395 00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:15.040 what that happens is then shifts the atmosphere in the place 396 00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:21.200 because then you have too many lucky lose and not the core people who can slide into the river 397 00:34:22.160 --> 00:34:28.880 and the Lord doesn't mind lucky lose but they take time to take hours really not hours 398 00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:33.760 that's why you then have a series of meetings days of the Lord chipping away at all of their 399 00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:40.080 preconceived ideas and notions and their bad theology and their understanding of the very person 400 00:34:40.080 --> 00:34:47.120 of God over days and then they can slip into the river of God one service that just just kind of 401 00:34:47.120 --> 00:34:51.600 provokes them so I'm delighted to do that today 402 00:34:54.160 --> 00:35:01.360 Mark chapter five I want to still talk about the anointed one the Christ at least we'll have some 403 00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:08.640 understanding now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side a great multitude 404 00:35:08.640 --> 00:35:13.600 gathered to him and he was by the sea you know why Jesus often spoke by the sea and you'll hear 405 00:35:14.560 --> 00:35:20.720 all throughout the scriptures he spoke by the lake of Ganesirate or the sea of Galilee 406 00:35:20.720 --> 00:35:26.720 sea of Galilee is actually a large large lake both terms are used in the Bible you know why 407 00:35:26.720 --> 00:35:33.120 because he didn't have one of these and so he would stand with his back to the sea and the wind 408 00:35:33.120 --> 00:35:41.600 current coming off the sea would carry his words onto the multitudes and behold one of the rulers 409 00:35:41.600 --> 00:35:47.840 of the synagogue came gyros by name and when he saw him he fell at his feet 410 00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:56.080 and begged him earnestly saying my little daughter lies at the point of death come and lay your hands 411 00:35:56.080 --> 00:36:04.160 on her why did he ask Jesus to lay his hands lay his hands I was like two years saved and then I 412 00:36:04.160 --> 00:36:12.720 was a freshman in college two years saved and somebody on my floor had asked what I was doing I said 413 00:36:12.720 --> 00:36:17.280 I'm going to church what kind of churches that I tried to told them and then they said do they do 414 00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:24.640 the laying out of hands there and their face was like like in a grimace and I was and I was my first 415 00:36:24.640 --> 00:36:34.000 I realized oh somehow because of 3 a.m. televangelists and the media and Hollywood movies the 416 00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:40.640 laying out of hands had such a bad rap but it's actually holy it's beautiful it's biblical 417 00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:49.680 there was gyros a ruler of the Jews he knew the Torah he knew that the laying out of hands was 418 00:36:49.680 --> 00:36:55.440 powerful that there is a transference through the laying out of hands he read in the book of Joshua 419 00:36:55.440 --> 00:37:01.680 how it said the Joshua was full of the spirit of wisdom why for Moses had laid hands on him and 420 00:37:01.680 --> 00:37:08.640 there was a transfer even the entire sacrificial system that pointed to the Messiah to Jesus was set 421 00:37:08.640 --> 00:37:12.720 around the laying out of hands where the sin of the nation would be transferred the laying out 422 00:37:12.720 --> 00:37:19.200 of hands is biblical the laying out of hands is powerful the laying out of hands got can use to 423 00:37:19.200 --> 00:37:28.960 transform your life there is an impartation there is a transference even at Jesus's resurrection 424 00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:34.080 before he went up to present his blood to the father Mary was excited and Jesus step back and 425 00:37:34.080 --> 00:37:38.480 said touch me not for I've not yet ascended why we don't really know but there would have been 426 00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:42.880 some kind of transference which was not lawful for her to have at the time 427 00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:55.760 Jesus had a touchy ministry he touched people everywhere the anointing flows through touch 428 00:37:55.760 --> 00:38:03.040 it can come other ways but one of the ways a frequently used way is touch is through the laying out 429 00:38:03.520 --> 00:38:10.400 of hands come and lay your hands on her that she may be healed and she will live he understood 430 00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:16.160 it scripturally and he probably had heard and seen Jesus's ministry that Jesus laid hands on people 431 00:38:16.160 --> 00:38:22.400 everywhere he went look up Jesus Jesus ministry the miracles of healing and see how many times 432 00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:27.760 as he actually touched the person it's over 90% of the times sometimes he just speaks the word but 433 00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:34.640 over 90% of the time he puts his hands on them why because the Christos the anointing that 434 00:38:34.640 --> 00:38:44.240 upon him would be transferred over to the hungry and thirsty heart so Jesus went with him and 435 00:38:44.240 --> 00:38:51.920 a great multitude followed him and thronged him so now people realize also that Jesus is 436 00:38:52.240 --> 00:39:00.960 powerful he's the miracle worker and they're thronging him which means they're touching him note 437 00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:07.120 that nothing happens imagine that imagine if you had a time machine wouldn't be awesome to see him 438 00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:13.280 a lot of us were like Lord if I could just if you would reveal yourself but they were there in 439 00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:20.960 the presence of Jesus touching him but nothing was happening why because they were cheap touches 440 00:39:23.200 --> 00:39:28.800 there was no faith behind them there was no expectation behind them they were just you know 441 00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:34.720 you know the way a fighter comes down the aisle and then everybody just wants to touch him 442 00:39:35.520 --> 00:39:39.200 everyone wants to touch your fame touch your glory maybe it was a curious touch 443 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:47.840 maybe Jesus you know he was a carpenter so he was swole so he was like oh carpenter so nice 444 00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:52.560 we don't know but nothing was happening yet everybody was touching him 445 00:39:54.480 --> 00:40:01.120 verse 25 you know I always thought when it says Jesus was a carpenter because I got saved when I was 446 00:40:01.120 --> 00:40:06.800 16 to me what that meant was like he had a tool belt and a hammer and more you know like he put 447 00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:15.360 nails and wood but a carpenter back then you know you rolled big logs big stones big so then I 448 00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:21.360 realized all those paintings of an 80 pound Jesus were not accurate the skin and bones hippie Jesus 449 00:40:22.640 --> 00:40:29.760 not scriptural did you know that did you just learn that today right Jesus wasn't skinny 450 00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:52.000 Jesus had a six pack he was because of all the work I believe it was the enemy who made him look 451 00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:59.760 in in the art and made him look so effeminate and so skinny and they paint him like he never stopped fasting 452 00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:06.480 but he fasted for 40 days he ate afterwards but they they make it out like he never stopped 453 00:41:09.040 --> 00:41:12.960 and they gave him the pretty blonde hair and the surfer look and made him all hippie-like and 454 00:41:13.040 --> 00:41:25.360 now a certain woman had a flow of blood for 12 years and had suffered many things from many physicians 455 00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:31.360 she had spent all that she had and was no better but rather grew worse 456 00:41:33.440 --> 00:41:38.800 she was out there illegally by the way under Levitical Law a woman couldn't have any kind of 457 00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:47.600 flow of blood and the out in public but she had this physical issue for 12 years and she was desperate 458 00:41:47.600 --> 00:41:52.720 she was hungry listen I don't know how I can get this through to you but God will respond to 459 00:41:52.720 --> 00:41:57.600 desperation God I'm telling you some of you you think you're dead you're not desperate enough 460 00:41:58.240 --> 00:42:05.200 you got to get a little nuts no really I shaved off all my hair one time because I was hungry 461 00:42:05.200 --> 00:42:09.760 and thirsty for God didn't even know the word that well I was like say four years at the time 462 00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:14.880 and I read an ax how Paul shaved off all his hair because he took a note and I was like all right 463 00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:20.320 and I just I was totally like a bowling ball ball my junior year of college shaved it off 464 00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:30.960 was it scriptural no did God honor it yes do something you've never done before you got to really 465 00:42:31.040 --> 00:42:39.760 get desperate why listen you can get desperate now or you can get desperate when it's really desperate 466 00:42:42.080 --> 00:42:45.520 see when people are in the midst of a crisis the whole world is crashing around on them they're 467 00:42:45.520 --> 00:42:51.680 desperate well now you're starting from scratch now you're in the depths of the pit and now you're 468 00:42:51.680 --> 00:42:57.360 going to begin building a desperate relationship with the Lord no do it wherever you're at and be 469 00:42:57.360 --> 00:43:04.000 hungry stir yourself up it's not called it's not being fake it's not hype it's not emotional 470 00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:12.480 sentimentalism Paul wrote Timothy said stir up the gift of God that is within you by the way through 471 00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:20.880 the laying on of my hands stir it up you got to stir up a desperation and then when you think 472 00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:27.520 you're hungry and thirsty and desperate get more desperate do something wild yes 473 00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:37.200 look that's gonna love you no matter what he loves you he's for you but sometimes you have to 474 00:43:37.200 --> 00:43:42.960 get his attention catch what I'm saying it's not that his attention is an on you but you gotta 475 00:43:43.040 --> 00:43:51.440 you gotta get his attention his attention is on you but I want his attention attention 476 00:43:53.440 --> 00:44:02.880 for example an angel appeared to Cornelius and said he was selected he out of all the people I'm 477 00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:09.120 planning earth he was gonna be the one that essentially the gospel would come to the Gentiles 478 00:44:10.400 --> 00:44:18.240 and Cornelius was like huh me and angel says your prayers and your giving have come up as a memorial 479 00:44:18.240 --> 00:44:26.880 before God he got God's attention with his giving and with his praying there's a way to get God's 480 00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:34.800 attention you're not buying it you're not trading in exchange for it's by faith and when it's 481 00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:40.560 true faith there will be a manifestation of that faith you cannot sit in a corner twiddling your 482 00:44:40.560 --> 00:44:48.960 thumbs and say I'm in faith there's always an action to faith that's what James says when he says 483 00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:55.200 you have you say you have faith you say you have works blah blah blah I'll show you my faith by my 484 00:44:55.200 --> 00:45:01.200 work by my actions anybody can come in talking about faith there's gotta be an evidence 485 00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:08.560 you say I don't know how to become wild and go too far we'll cross that bridge when we get there 486 00:45:08.560 --> 00:45:14.720 we got a great pastoral staff we'll keep it if you start to go we'll get you you just have to listen 487 00:45:14.720 --> 00:45:21.280 when we do for most of you don't be worried about what happens if you get a little too radical you 488 00:45:21.280 --> 00:45:35.200 need a dose of that that first century radical commitment amen that's how you'll see God in your 489 00:45:35.200 --> 00:45:46.960 life today yes hallelujah so she heard about Jesus she's she's doing something she's never done 490 00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:52.160 before you know why because she was so sick and tired of being sick and tired my exhortation 491 00:45:52.160 --> 00:46:00.080 before was don't wait to get to that place don't why why wait for things to be falling apart all 492 00:46:00.080 --> 00:46:09.040 are you so that can't be me when she heard about Jesus she came behind him in the crowd and touched 493 00:46:09.120 --> 00:46:16.560 his garment for she said if only I may touch his clothes by the way that was the continuous 494 00:46:17.200 --> 00:46:23.440 tense of the verb she kept saying over and over again power in her words if I only may touch 495 00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:29.920 there it is again touch she understood there would be a transfer if only I may touch his clothes 496 00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:37.040 I shall be made well immediately the found of her blood was dried up and she felt in her body 497 00:46:37.040 --> 00:46:46.000 that she was healed of the affliction she felt again she felt she felt in her body that she was healed 498 00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:56.240 of her affliction what happened Jesus didn't press the anointing into her she snuck it she came 499 00:46:56.240 --> 00:47:02.400 up behind him secretly once again because it was illegal for her to be there and when no one was 500 00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:10.320 looking she just let me just get a little dose and a hungry heart a faith-filled heart she made a 501 00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:17.200 withdrawal she made an anointing withdrawal you know you can make anointing withdrawals anytime 502 00:47:17.200 --> 00:47:25.040 of the day and you can get good at it you can practice it in the beginning you might just be 503 00:47:25.040 --> 00:47:30.560 singing and all you feel like I'm just singing in my room no one's listening not even god and my 504 00:47:30.560 --> 00:47:35.600 voice is just about you have to learn how to be stubborn and shut those thoughts down as I believe 505 00:47:35.600 --> 00:47:40.480 God is hearing and you go completely by raw faith and you can train your spirit to be in tune with 506 00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:44.640 the Holy Spirit so that eventually over time you lift your hands and the moment you lift your 507 00:47:44.640 --> 00:47:51.280 hands you're overwhelmed you end up on the floor because God comes upon you hallelujah living a drop 508 00:47:51.280 --> 00:48:00.800 away from drunk at all times hallelujah immediately okay and Jesus okay so she immediately felt 509 00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:09.600 within herself and Jesus immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out of him so she felt 510 00:48:09.680 --> 00:48:20.320 the anointing go into her and he felt the anointing the virtue come out of him the anointing is 511 00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:28.080 stuff I don't know how else to say it when I say anointing you immediately think of like haze and 512 00:48:28.080 --> 00:48:37.200 fog and little glitzing star dust coming down whoo no it's not something that's symbolic or 513 00:48:37.200 --> 00:48:48.000 fantastic in that way it is read is stuff it is the stuff of God it is weighty stuff Holy stuff 514 00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:55.280 and that stuff will get on you and that stuff will get in you and that stuff will do you good 515 00:48:55.280 --> 00:49:02.880 and that stuff will bring you in order and that stuff will heal you it will heal you it will when you 516 00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:12.360 When you come in contact with the anointing of God, you get aligned and a lot of our problems 517 00:49:12.360 --> 00:49:17.000 are because we're not aligned with the Lord, we're out of bounds, we're out of order. 518 00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:20.320 We've gone in different ways and we're saying, Lord, bless me, but you're over here. 519 00:49:20.320 --> 00:49:21.880 He can't bless you over there. 520 00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:29.080 You've got to become aligned and the anointing will help line you up aligned with the order 521 00:49:29.080 --> 00:49:30.080 of heaven. 522 00:49:30.080 --> 00:49:36.040 Now for us, that sounds like great news for some people when I say that you're terrified. 523 00:49:36.040 --> 00:49:41.640 Because you've been so misaligned for so long being aligned with God is scary for you. 524 00:49:41.640 --> 00:49:45.920 You have an idea of what that looks like and it doesn't seem fun at all. 525 00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:46.920 I don't know what to tell you. 526 00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:49.520 How's your current thing working out for you? 527 00:49:49.520 --> 00:49:53.920 I've tried it both ways, I've tried it three, four, five different ways. 528 00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:58.880 God is the one who offers abundant life. 529 00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:03.480 The Bible says, the way of the sinner is hard. 530 00:50:03.480 --> 00:50:08.800 The way of the sinner is hard and full of sorrow. 531 00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:14.280 We like to pretend it's fun but we all know consequences come and that way is hard and 532 00:50:14.280 --> 00:50:16.480 full of sorrow. 533 00:50:16.480 --> 00:50:17.480 God's way is better. 534 00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:25.240 I'd rather fall on him and be broken than he fall on me and grind me to a powder. 535 00:50:25.240 --> 00:50:30.240 Jesus immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out of him, turned around in 536 00:50:30.240 --> 00:50:33.160 the crowd and said, who touched my clothes? 537 00:50:33.160 --> 00:50:35.000 Remember how everybody was touching him? 538 00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:37.320 His disciples point that out. 539 00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:44.800 But there were cheap touches, curious touches, but he was referring to a special touch, 540 00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:50.160 the touch of faith, the touch of hunger, the touch of desperation that activated the power. 541 00:50:50.160 --> 00:50:56.320 Isn't it a shame, a crime that potentially hundreds of people touched Jesus that day 542 00:50:56.320 --> 00:50:59.200 and walked away completely unchanged? 543 00:50:59.200 --> 00:51:03.520 Touched God in the flesh, the Messiah, they touched Him and got nothing because there 544 00:51:03.520 --> 00:51:09.120 was no faith or hunger or thirst or desperation attached to their touch. 545 00:51:09.120 --> 00:51:16.840 But along came one woman and she did it by faith with that hunger and her whole life 546 00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:18.840 was turned around. 547 00:51:18.960 --> 00:51:21.960 Hallelujah. 548 00:51:21.960 --> 00:51:24.320 God is offering you more. 549 00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:27.360 He wants to take you from glory to glory. 550 00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:29.480 But we are our own greatest enemy. 551 00:51:29.480 --> 00:51:34.480 There has to be a work done on the inside of us that can happen in a service. 552 00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:37.000 Yes, that can happen in your own home. 553 00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:42.240 In fact, whatever begins in a service, it should continue on in your home, continue on 554 00:51:42.240 --> 00:51:43.240 in your car. 555 00:51:43.240 --> 00:51:46.480 Yes, even in the subway, let it continue on. 556 00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:50.360 We'll do a deep work in you. 557 00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:52.360 Hallelujah. 558 00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:53.360 We're shifting. 559 00:51:53.360 --> 00:51:55.160 Come on up. 560 00:51:55.160 --> 00:51:56.680 You're up. 561 00:51:56.680 --> 00:51:57.920 I want to do this. 562 00:51:57.920 --> 00:52:01.880 Pastor James, will you help us with the tithes and offerings and any announcements? 563 00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:04.320 Then I want to invite our ministry team up. 564 00:52:04.320 --> 00:52:09.640 Our ministry team, notice we don't call them a prayer team. 565 00:52:09.640 --> 00:52:10.640 They're a ministry team. 566 00:52:10.640 --> 00:52:12.080 There is a difference. 567 00:52:12.080 --> 00:52:14.880 People say come and pray for me. 568 00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:17.840 I always want you to pray about. 569 00:52:17.840 --> 00:52:20.120 Oh, enough, whatever comes to your heart. 570 00:52:20.120 --> 00:52:20.960 I know what they're saying. 571 00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:21.840 They don't know what they're saying. 572 00:52:21.840 --> 00:52:22.680 I know what they're saying. 573 00:52:22.680 --> 00:52:24.400 They're saying I need help. 574 00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:29.000 And if I were to tell you everything, I'd give you a list of several dozen things. 575 00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:30.440 What I really want is ministry. 576 00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:31.480 I want the Holy Spirit. 577 00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:32.320 I want its power. 578 00:52:32.320 --> 00:52:33.920 I want the anointing. 579 00:52:33.920 --> 00:52:37.920 Jesus did actually very little praying for people. 580 00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:41.120 Count the number of times he prayed for people. 581 00:52:41.120 --> 00:52:44.280 But he ministered to people by the anointing all the time. 582 00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:49.560 Our ministry team is called a ministry team because it's not the words they say. 583 00:52:49.560 --> 00:52:53.320 It's their laying hands on you and releasing God's anointing upon you. 584 00:52:53.320 --> 00:52:54.920 You get the difference. 585 00:52:54.920 --> 00:52:59.400 Our ministry team, they're not special, neither am I. 586 00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:00.800 They just open. 587 00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:04.760 God will flow through an open and yielded vessel. 588 00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:06.440 Hallelujah. 589 00:53:06.440 --> 00:53:09.040 This is the City Light Church podcast. 590 00:53:09.040 --> 00:53:13.000 If you've missed any part of today's message or
