Everlasting Divine Affection and Its Transformative Power

00:00 - Speaker 1
When God heals you, when God blesses you financially, when God opens the door for you, when God gives you a promotion of your job, he's not doing it. Uh, let me just do a little favor. She got my nerves, but let me do it. God is not like that. God is saying he's not like your parents say, you don't really deserve this. But here, no, god is saying you deserve it. You're a king, you're a queen, you're all of that. My beloved son, my beloved daughter. Here you go.

00:26 - Speaker 2
Welcome to the City Light Church podcast. Thanks for joining us today as we look into God's word and discover the hope and truth that he has for us. If you want to connect with City Light Church, feel free to visit us at CityLightNYCcom. That's CityLightNYCcom. Pastor Boyan Jansik and his team believe that the power of the Holy Spirit is already working in our hearts and minds. As you listen to today's teaching, remember that you are deeply loved by God, that you are surrounded by his grace and that he has a real hope and a future for you.

01:06 - Speaker 1
Amen. Thank you, pastor Bo. I was like Bo, all right, what's going on here? Anyway, praise God. Thank you, pastor Boyan, for this great invitation. I know it was the last minute because of what happened. Thank you to my pastor, pastor Patrick, for just stepping in and doing what he had to do to cover for me, and so we're excited. Amen. We had a great service last service. We're going to have a great service this service.

01:42
Amen, the anointing is already flowing. We're in the first service, so we're good. Jesus said, I will re-appel, it shall flow. What rivers of living water? Now? Just rivers flowing from me to you is rivers flowing from your spirit into the atmosphere. Amen, hallelujah. We're in this beautiful divine exchange in the presence of God.

02:02
I want to honor the First Lady of the House, emily Jansik, and the great Pastor, james. Amen. Isn't he so cool. He's just so. I was sitting there and I was thinking I got to tell him he has this great finesse about him. Just smooth, amazing, amazing, amazing. You know he makes Pastor Boyan look good. Oh, praise God.

02:36
And I have visiting with us one of my pastors, pastor Samantha. You're going to give her a hand. She wasn't planning to come, but we just I said, oh, won't you come? And she said, yeah, I feel like I should come. So she came. So we're glad to have her here too.

02:52
So we're going to get right into the message again. It's going to be the same message from last week, I mean from the First Service, and it's entitled he Will Never Stop. Somebody say God will never stop. So, pastor James, if somebody's going to go around and I want you to help me, some audience participation, I want four of you. I'm going to start. There'll be five of us to tell me something that you will never stop doing, and I told the last service they were laughing that I will never stop eating White Castles. Now, I eat healthy. I try, but that spirit of White Castles comes back on me and I have to get some. I just had some the other day and I found out that I didn't know this for so long that I could get extra onions and extra pickles. So I definitely love White Castles.

03:45
All right, I need four other people to raise your hand, something that you will never stop doing. Keep it clean, thank you. Come on Making people laugh. Ah, I like that. That's good. Must be a professional comedian. I love it. All right, three more people, something you will never stop doing. Never stop giving and helping people who need. Amen, come on Helping people in need. I love that. Two more. Come on y'all. Audience participation Something you will never stop doing. Yeah, we have that person. I need one more.

04:38
I will never stop praying for those that are not saved in my family and in the church. Praise God, come on, Prayer for the salvation of the unsaved. Thank you, jesus, and there's one more right there. Never stop inspiring others. I will never stop inspiring others. Thank you, god. Give them a hand.

05:02
I thought some of y'all would y'all. If there's a deep church, I thought somebody would say I will never stop watching power. I will never stop, you know, going to. You know, never mind. I guess I'm the only one who has a little carnality in my life. He was like what's power? Never mind, don't worry about it.

05:24
The TV show has started that Christian shouldn't be watching, but I like a little gangsta stuff. Amen, praise God, hallelujah. All right, so the we're taking notes. So the first thing I want you to write down is that he, talking about the Father, will never stop loving you. God is excited and serious about loving you. He is love. The Bible says God is love and so love is his is, is is his essence, and so he cannot help but love you, amen.

06:14
Go with me to Jeremiah 31, verse three. It's coming up on the screen and it says the Lord has appeared of old to me, saying yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore, with loving kindness, I have drawn you. Now other translations will say the Lord has appeared afar or has appeared in the distance. You know, and people are the translation trying to figure out he's talking about from long ago or from eternity past, or from just at a distance. I believe it means at a distance, based on the context.

06:56
If you go back to Jeremiah 30, I didn't go that deep into it this passage will make a lot of sense to you. The background is that Israel is in captivity in the Babylonian empire and you know for their sins, you know going after other gods, all that kind of stuff, things that they did over and over again, and so they're in bondage, they're in slavery, they're not really happy about what's going over going on. Matter of fact, in one of the scriptures in Jeremiah 30, in the chapter right before, he says do men give birth to babies. He's talking about men, the male, and the answer is obviously no. So he says why are you bowed over like a woman who's giving birth to a baby? Because the people were in agony. They were just so upset about the condition they were in.

07:45
And God is like, yeah, you're in that condition because of what you did, but guess what? I'm not going to destroy you like the other nations I've destroyed completely. I'm going to redeem you, I'm going to restore you. You're not going to go unpunished, but I'm going to help you. But then, after he says all the stuff he's going to do to restore them and to bring them back, he says I'm going to restore you back to your lands. I gave it to your fathers, all this stuff. He says let me tell you why I'm doing it. I love you. You disappointed me, you hurt me. You went after other gods and you can see these gods have done nothing for you. But I'm bringing you back. I'm restoring you because I love you. I'm forgiving you because I love you. Amen. The Lord's love is steadfast. The Lord's love will never end. The Lord's love goes on and on and it doesn't matter what condition you're in. It doesn't matter where you're at in life, whether you're at the top, you're at the bottom, you're in between. The Father loves you.

08:50
Jesus was talking to a very religious man, nicodemus, who came to him at the night I call it Nick at night. Remember that Nick came through because he had to keep his social status up. He talked to him about being born again. He said we know that your teacher sent from God because of the miracles which you do. Then Jesus switched the subject to being born again. He said I'm an old man, how can I be born again? I'm going back to my mother's womb. He said how are you one of the leaders of Israel and you don't know this concept? Then he talked about being born of the water and the spirit. And then he said make this statement Now. People put this on plaques and you see them on TV, but you have to understand this scripture that we quote, that we've memorized in Sunday school or if you went to Sunday school, is really a statement in a conversation.

10:00
Jesus is talking back and forth with Nicodemus and he's talking about the born again experience and then he says this is the basis of it, for this is why I'm saying what I'm saying. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. He's actually selling this to a religious leader who's an old man. He said God loves the whole world. He loves the Jewish nation, but really, if you want to really know the whole picture, he loves the entire world. So he sent me one truth that he says his one and only son there's no more. I'm it. And then in verse 17, which people don't memorize, he did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but the world through him might be saved.

10:45
The religious leaders of Israel at that time did not understand this. They understood Lord, god, they understood judgment. They understood the Messiah's coming to restore Israel right to his great place. He says guys, let me tell you what this is really about love God. The Father loves you, but not only you, israel. He loves the whole world and I'm here to save the whole world. Even the disciples didn't understand that, even after his death.

11:13
Remember the vision Peter had of the unclean animals. He says rise, kill an east. He says not. So, lord. He said I've never done that. So now you have somebody telling the Lord no. When he said do it because they were caught into their religious tradition. And now God said I have a new covenant in place. He says what I've called clean, you don't call unclean. What I've called blessed, you don't call common. No more Peter, this is for the whole world. Amen.

11:58
And one of the things you wanna do in your life, as Pastor James said, you wanna bring people on Sunday for Easter, not just so you can say, ah, I fulfilled my duties to bring somebody. No, with the understanding that God loves the whole world. God loves my neighbor. God loves my coworker, to get to my nerves. God loves my boss that I don't like. God loves everybody. Amen, amen, amen.

12:27
But as you progress as a believer, you have to take it personal and recognize that the Father loves me. Daddy, thank you for your love. You should wake up saying that. Thank you for your love. Thank you that you care about me, thank you that you're deeply passionate about me. Amen, because he is and he says it's an everlasting love. Therefore, with loving kindness, I've drawn you. Yeah, you and I, israel, we're at a distance, but my loving kindness is going to draw you in. My love, my warmth, my compassion is gonna draw us back together again. So that distance that's there is gonna be closed. The good news in the new covenant we don't have distance with God. We're near to him by the blood of Jesus, amen.

13:18
But sometimes things in life will make us feel like we're far from God. But you have to create in your conscience, in your mind, that no, I'm not far from God, I'm very near to my Father and God does love me with an everlasting love. He cares about me. The Bible says cast your care on the Lord, because what he cares for you. Praise God. There's somebody you have a problem in your neck right here. Just turn your neck. It may be some stiffness. Jesus is healing you right now. Amen, praise the Lord. Raise your hand, if that's you and do. The Lord is healing you now of your neck. That's you, yeah, I see your hand. Amen. Can we praise God for that? Thank you, jesus. That's you too. Praise God. Just raise your hand. Yeah, turn that neck. You're healed in Jesus' name.

14:14
One of the things I told the Lord years ago. I said you know when I was to see people flow and it gets to the spirit. I said I like when you interrupt the preaching and give words of knowledge. So I said I want you to do that with me and ever since I prayed that he does that with me. Amen, don't go to the end of the service, do it in the middle. And he does, asking you show what receive right. Amen, hallelujah. Thank you, jesus. There's gonna be more healings. You may feel heat come on your body in Jesus' name. I feel God wants to heal backs and you can feel the back problem. God's gonna heal you in Jesus' name because he loves you. Amen. Come on somebody. All right, let's go now down to Psalm 89.33.

15:02
This is from the NLT version and this is a statement by Ethan the Ezra Height about David. This is the Psalm that he wrote and it says but I will never stop loving Him, nor fail to keep my promises to Him. That whole Psalm is about God's faithfulness to David. It's really powerful. I love one scripture where it says my covenant, I will not break nor alter the words that's going out of my lips. That's how crazy faithful God is. Amen.

15:34
But this is about David. Now we know that David messed up a lot, am I right? You know he was a great guy. He was the one who killed Goliath, the little ruddy, good looking kid, you know, protecting the sheep and all that stuff. And then God pushed him to the forefront and he became this great warrior. And then he's anointed to be the next king, but he doesn't get into that right away and he's you know what's that word when somebody's on the run. He's a fugitive, the fugitive, and he's running from the crazy man, saul. Saul was crazy. Read the story. It's really bizarre. But anyway, he finally becomes king and so he's doing great things with Israel and doing great things for the kingdom. And but then he gets comfortable and he's standing on his rooftop and he looks over and he sees a woman, bathsheba. It's not like he didn't know who she was.

16:39
This is the wife of his captain, the one who's leading his military excursions, and he calls for her and he has sex with her and he commits adultery. And then, when the husband comes back, he finds out that she's pregnant. She comes and says I'm pregnant. He brings the husband and said hey, go sleep with your wife, man, have a good time. He's like no, I'm not doing that. Nobody's having a good time right now, until this conquest is over.

17:11
They was like man, what I'm going to do? And so he says hey, I want to put you to the front line. The king says you want to the front line, you're going to the front line, but everybody knows the front line means death. So he set up his murder. He does die, and then the prophet comes to him and says bro, you messed up. But he says I'm going to tell you a story. So it tells him the story about a man, a rich man who had all this stuff and a poor person who had only one little sheep. And he says and the rich man took that one sheep from that poor man and he said oh, who's this guy? And he wanted to frame down vengeance. And the prophet said it's you.

18:04
David says ah, it falls out, his conscious, smokes him and he cries and cries and the Lord, through the prophet, says I'm not going to kill you. I should kill you, but I'm not going to kill you. I'm paraphrasing this is the Maurice Johnson version. But I'm going to put away your sin, but the sword will never leave your home. There's a judgment on your family now, but I'm going to put away your sin.

18:37
And in the New Covenant God has put away our sin. The Bible says that he has taken away our sin. Remember, john the Baptist said behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. But in the book of Hebrews, paul says that our sins have been put away also, and there's a difference. And so David's sin was put away.

18:57
You've done wrong, but I'm going to put away your sin. I'm going to leave you on the throne and let you be king, and then I'm going to tell the whole world that you're a man after my own heart, doing all of my will, and the reason why I'm doing this is because I love you. The reason why you are here today, though. Some of you have done wrong. Some of you have done some real bad stuff, grimy, but he's still calling you saint, holy, righteousnessing of God in Christ Jesus, and he hasn't ripped you from the kingdom, he hasn't exposed you, because love covers a multitude of sins, and he gives you the grace to stand because he loves you. And his love will never stop. It will never stop. Is that a license to do wrong? No, you should let that love purify you and cause you to live righteously before him.

20:04
Somebody say God loves me, say the Father loves me. Somebody say he loves me deeply. Somebody say he loves me intimately. Somebody say he loves me forever. This love is very real. Y'all. Paul said I am persuaded that nothing will separate me from the love of God and he gave a whole list of things. So there's nothing. You have done, nothing that's happening in your life.

20:32
Some people that have problems. They say, oh, I thought God loves me, god loves you. Go to him with your problems, but he'll get rid of the problem with you and for you. Amen. Cast your kids upon the Lord, because what he cares for you, he watches over you. Now, some of you, you have what I call daddy issues. You have a good relationship with your dad and you think God, the Father, is like your dad. He's not. He is tender, he is loving, he is kind. One day the Lord said to me he's a Maurice.

21:11
Talk about the body of Christ. Many people in the body of Christ in my church do not know how kind I am and he had me teach on kindness that God is kind. Now, I never really related to that kind of thing when I first was a believer. I'm this young Christian. I want to hear about power, dominion, success, prosperity. God's going to kill his enemies. God's going to cast out demons speaking in tongues, holy ghost power and fire running around with dancing. I want to hear about all this kindness stuff.

21:47
But then that wave of grace came through the body of Christ and I began to pick up on the fact that God is kind. I never even understood what David meant when he said your loving kindness is better than life. I said what does that mean? That sounds weird, sounds very girly. That's something women say oh, you're loving kindness. I don't want to. I'm a man, I don't want to say all that.

22:11
But when you get a revelation of grace and God's love, you realize this is the revelation that God is love. Amen. We were created because God is love. Love always has to have an object to love. Amen. Praise you Lord. Thank you, jesus. That's what the Bible calls Jesus the son of his love, his dear son. And that love the Father has towards Jesus, he has towards us, is that good news? This is what the Bible says you've been made accepted in the beloved.

22:54
Notice that in that particular verse Ephesians 1, 6, he didn't say you've been accepted in Christ. He said you've been accepted in the beloved. He's trying to pull, trying to bring out a point that Jesus is the beloved son of God and because you're in him, you're just as beloved. Is that hard to believe? Is it hard to believe that God, the Father, loves you just as much as he loves Jesus? Someone's like nah, I ain't trying to hear that, receive it. Say God, the Father loves me just as much as he loves Jesus. If you don't believe me, read John 17. It's in his prayer. Come on somebody, you dealing with the walking Bible here. Okay, god loves you.

23:48
Number two write this down he will never stop forgiving you and cleansing you from all your sin. David said blessed is the man who is forgiven. You are blessed because you are forgiven. You are in the state of forgiveness. Ephesians 1 says that in him we have redemption, even the forgiveness of sins. You have it. Colossians says that he's wiped your entire slate clean and you are a forgiven person. You are a forgiven saint. You stand before the presence of God, forgiving. However, there are things we do.

24:28
Paul talks about the filthiness of the flesh and of the spirit, so you can put some dirt on you, but we have 1, john 1, 9. If we confess our sins, he is what Faithful and just Faithful, what Faithful to his love, faithful to us, to forgive us and what Cleanse us from all and right Anybody ever sinned? And you went to the Father and you said God, I did it, and you felt that cleansing power over your soul. Anybody ever been there? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been there. I've been there many times. Those angels are like man. He's working for a John 1, 9. My Lord, she's like. He sure is. But every time I'm getting the forgiveness, I'm getting the cleansing, amen, and I stand confident in his presence. Somebody say thank you, jesus.

25:25
1 John 1 says the blood of his Son cleanses us from all sin. It's a continual flow. And let me tell you something I didn't say this in the last service God, the Father, is not afraid of your sin. Sometimes the Holy Spirit's preacher is like oh, you know. Oh, it is a help. You know, if God is afraid of sin, god is not afraid of sin. He despises sin, but he despises you. He's not afraid of sin and he will keep forgiving you until you stop sinning. That's how faithful he is. He's not like human beings, but like I've had enough. God is never going to tell you I've had enough. He's going to tell you to stop, but going to tell you I'm here to love you, to have mercy upon you and to forgive you and to strengthen you so you can walk the straight and narrow way. Isn't that good news? So, never run from God, always run to him if you make a mistake, amen.

26:28
The Bible says if we sin, we have an advocate with the Father, jesus Christ the righteous. Isn't that good news? Jesus in heaven saying Father, look at my blood, I did it for them. I did it for them. The Bible says the blood of Jesus on the mercy seat. That's a very deep thing, we don't have time to go into that. But basically God is looking at that mercy seat, the place where he wants to show mercy, and he's seeing that blood and he's saying they're forgiven, they're forgiven, they're forgiven Every day.

26:59
God is forgiving people. Hallelujah, because he's a forgiver. The Bible says bless the Lord, oh my soul, who forgives all of my iniquities. That's one of the benefits of being the kingdom he forgives all of them. Well, pastor Marie, I really messed up. You know, I doesn't make a difference what it is, but I doesn't make a difference. God saw it, god knew before you did it. The Bible says that Jesus was the lamb slain from the foundation of the world, before he even created Adam and Eve before he even said let there be light. God said let me make provision, because I know they're going to sin. I don't want them to, but I know they're going to, so let me make provision. Nothing takes God by surprise, even your sin. And the Bible says he's ready to forgive you.

27:55
Look at this next scripture, psalm 86-5,. For you, lord, are good. Somebody say he's good and ready to forgive and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon you, ready to forgive. You're ready to forgive because I know you're going to do wrong. I don't want you to do wrong, but I know you're going to. But I'm ready to forgive.

28:21
And the Bible and another lexicon says he's forgiving. That's actually what it means Forgiving that Hebrew word. So you can read it this way For you, lord, are good and forgiving and abundant in mercy. To all those who call upon you, somebody say abundant in mercy, he's a lot of mercy to give you, but you just have to do ask for it. Jesus said in Matthew 6, the Father knows what you have need of, but you have to ask him.

28:45
And if you need forgiveness, if you need mercy, say Lord, have mercy on me, one of my pastors, the one who's preaching today told his son you know this guy. He's this guy. He's a person from Sierra Leone, he's six something, he's a bodybuilder and he's no punk. But he told his son I don't want you to fight. He's going to teach him how to fight, but I still don't want you to fight. He said, because when I got saved I didn't fight anymore and you don't have to fight. So he said, if somebody approaches you, the first thing I want you to do is say Lord, have mercy. He told him that lesson. I didn't know this.

29:24
So guess what happened? His son was in a situation he's like 10 years old, he's 11 now, but he was 10. A situation where some young lady wanted to fight him. She was ready to go and he could handle himself, but he didn't want to fight, Like his dad taught him. And he said Lord, have mercy. And the girl literally turned her attention to someone else and didn't fight him. That's the power of God. That's the power of God. Teach your children. Teach your children In your situation. You need help.

29:57
Say Lord, have mercy, amen. No one has to be afraid of anything. Amen, praise the Lord. I even tell the woman in my church you don't you dare be afraid of being violated by somebody. You plead the blood of Jesus over yourself and somebody tries to approach you, you say the blood of Jesus against you and if you spray it it'll start speaking in tongues they're going to run. Amen, amen. They will run. They'll be like all right, I'm done Bye. But you cry and say Lord, have mercy. Lord have mercy. That thing gives you a negative report. Oh, you got stage four cancer. Lord have mercy on this body. And then you go to believe God for your healing, whatever it is. Lord have mercy, amen, jesus. We thank you. He's had. His mercy is over this congregation right now. His hand of mercy is over you right now, blessing you, healing you, fixing things for you. Number three he will never stop hearing you and helping you. Somebody say he hears me and he helps me. He helps me.

31:14
Second Corinthians six, one to two, niv version. And God's coworkers. As God's coworkers, we urge you not to receive God's grace and vein. The word grace means favor, for he says so. The reason why you don't receive the grace and vein, the reason why you receive all that God has for you, what it means, don't receive the grace and vein means don't neglect the promises, don't neglect the covenant, don't neglect what God wants to do in your life through his grace, through his favor, and the reason why you don't do that? Because if you do, then what he did for you will be in vain. Put us in this way. Paul says this. Now some of our brothers, evangelical brothers, will say no, no, no, I was talking about spiritual riches. It's not. Read the context, especially the people who love context.

32:14
Second Corinthians eight nine says for I know the grace, the what, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake, he became poor, that you, through his poverty, might become rich. Now I can work that verse, but I don't have time right now. That where rich comes from the Greek word Pluto, the word plutocrat, one who rules by their wealth. Jesus died so you can rule by your wealth. He said I've been anointed to preach the gospel to the poor. What's the good news to the poor? You going to still be on welfare? No, there's going to be poor, no more, hallelujah.

33:03
The point of a bread line and a food line is not to have the food line forever for the same people, for people to be lifted up and then the next crew that need to be helped. We help you, lift you up, but if you don't believe in prosperity, what Jesus did on the cross in that area is in vain in your life. So you receive the forgiveness of sins, you receive healing, but I receive the prosperity part. So that's receiving the grace of God in vain. Amen, receive everything. Hallelujah, he says, because he says in time of my favor, I heard you Another day of salvation. I helped you. He's quoting Isaiah. And then he says I tell you now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation. Somebody say now so. I say now. So God is hearing you. What he's helping you win? He's hearing you win, he's helping you win.

34:07
Somebody shout now yes, don't let the devil deceive you and put your help into the future or put your help into the back. Oh yeah, I remember that time when I prayed and God did. Okay, that's wonderful. But what is God doing for you now? What are you believing now? Don't rob your present looking for the future. Don't rob your present thinking about the past. What are you believing right now? How is God helping you now? What are you praying about right now? He's a right now, god. Somebody say he's a right now.

34:42
God, give your name to a high priest and say, right now, hallelujah. Don't let the devil make you think your prayers are unworthy. Now I feel my help coming on. Hey, your prayers are not unworthy. Heaven stands at attention. Jesus says Father, in the name of Jesus, all the heaven is listening. Oh, but I prayed. Nothing happened. Keep praying, because Jesus said Ask and you shall receive, seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened.

35:21
Is Jesus a liar? I don't think he is. I gave you the calling one, let's see what happens. No, matthew 7, 7. I just quote it to you. Then Jesus emphasized it again by saying in verse 8 of Matthew 7, everyone who asks receives. To him who seeks, he finds. And to him who knocks, the door will be opened. He's giving you a guarantee in prayer. Oh, but I pray. Okay, I don't care about what happened with so and so I don't care what happened the other time.

35:56
The Bible says he will hear you and he will. What Help you. Call upon me and I will. What Answer you and show you great and mighty things you do not know, things you've not experienced before. I can do and will do for you. If you believe, Come on somebody. Hallelujah, it's time to believe God for big things. Don't think small because God is not small. Don't believe small because God is not small. God is a big God. He wants to hear you, he wants to help you and he wants to do big things in your life. Thank you, jesus.

36:36
Remember when Jesus now I don't know what's going on because I'm totally off script hey, remember when Jesus went to the wedding of Galilee? Can of Galilee? It tells you something. Jesus was social. So you can be deep and be social, go to weddings. Oh, I don't go to weddings, I'm fasting and praying. Please stop. If the Son of God went to a wedding, you better go to a wedding. Amen, the right one. But anyway, let's not go there. Let me behave. I can see Boyan now. Maurice, do not go there Because he know I will, but anyway I'll send it for my church.

37:29
He went to the wedding of Galilee. I guess the audience knows what I'm thinking. But they went to the wedding of Galilee and they ran out of wine. That's a whole other thing. Sorry, aog, it was real wine, it wasn't grape juice.

37:49
But anyway, his mother said he ran out of wine and he said Mom, the Bible says woman, but he's really saying, mom, what does it do with me? My eye was not yet come. She basically ignores him. I said, ok, I can see at this moment I can't control the manifestation of the spirit but you got to understand something. Why did she go to him? She must have been used to seeing him constantly providing for people, constantly fixing things, maybe helping people out, or she would have gone to him. So guess what Her expectation was so high when he even said Mom, my time is not yet, it doesn't do with me. She went to the servants, the attendants, and said whatever he tells you, do it. Now, why would she say that when he just said it's none of my business and my time is not yet come? In her mind, in her heart, your time is coming. You want to do something about this. You know how mothers are Borsi. And guess what happened? Jesus did do something. The spirit did move. Her expectation activated something.

39:10
And the Bible says they says these water pots filled with water. They did, they obeyed him. So now take some out, draw it and give it to the mass of the feasts. They did. And he said you saved the best wine to last. Jesus gives the best. Jesus gives the best. He has heard you and he's going to help you.

39:43
Now watch this the Bible is not for people getting drunk, but the Bible says and preachers don't like to preach this, but it's in the Bible when they were well-drunken is it in the book? Come on, I know this man knows the word when they were well-drunken, he still made more wine, because the Lord is serious about hearing and helping his people and people in general. So don't stop praying, don't stop asking. The devil will love for you too. Just start thanking more and you're going to see more manifestation of the thing you've been asking for.

40:21
Amen, praise God, hallelujah, number four. We're skipping some things. He will never stop making life good for you, and I didn't catch the time again, so please let me know. All right, jeremiah 3240. Nlt version. Again, it says I will make an everlasting covenant with them. I will never stop. Somebody say never stop Doing good for them. Whoa, we can go home on that. I will never stop.

41:04
Now, this is Old Testament Scripture, but it's an Old Testament Scripture. That's in the prophetic part of salvation, so it applies to us. I will never stop doing good for them. And actually you need to read the next verse where you get a chance, because God talks about how excited he is about doing good for you.

41:26
When God does good for you, he's not doing it reluctantly. When God heals you, when God blesses you financially, when God opens the door for you, when God gives you a promotion of your job, he's not doing it. Let me just do a little favor but you get on my nerves, but let me do it. God is not like that. God is saying he's not like your parents say you don't really deserve this. But here, no, god is saying you deserve it, you're a king, you're a queen, you're all of that. My beloved son, my beloved daughter. Here you go. Now, how do you know Scripture that God is like? That is attitude. I'm going to give you James Again now.

42:00
James is a tough book. Am I right? Am I right to read the book of James? He's tough. He says clean your hands. You said this. I'm going to go whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm going to say that in Christ, bro. But he understood God's favor and grace and God's goodness, because he's the one who says every good and every perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights. Right, but there's something very interesting that he says in James 1 that people miss If anyone lacks wisdom, and we focus on if you fall into asymptations, carry on all joy, because they're trouble minded. But he says if anyone lacks wisdom, let them ask of God. Don't stop there. Who gives to all men? What Liberally or generously, what he said all men, he's a generous God. Hey, I feel like TD.

42:55
James get ready, get ready, get ready, hey man. And here's the part that people don't teach and does and I'm quoting the King James because I have memorized it. And abrades, not Abrades, not. You know what that means. He does not assault you with abusive words of the past. He doesn't remind you of how wrong you are or the wrong you did and why you don't deserve his wisdom. God doesn't do that. So he's never saying I'm going to do this for you, but I really don't want to do it. He's like I'm happy to do it, son, I'm happy to do it, daughter. That's what the Father is saying to you. That's why the devil doesn't want you to pray. That's why the devil doesn't want you to believe that God wants you to have the things that you desire.

43:56
Let me give you another scripture. This Lord is going in this direction. If you, being evil now we're not evil, but that audience was we're born again If you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, oh my God, you, being a sinner, you being a human being, know how to give good gifts to your children, your children get on your nerves. How much more? Somebody say. How much more. Oh, we need to do a sermon called how Much More? How much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask Him? But it goes deeper. Now I'm in the flow, so you really going to tell me okay, you got 10 more minutes, I'll preach for an hour 20 minutes. It goes deeper.

44:57
He said if your kid asked you for bread, would you give him a stone. Anybody remember that? And he said if he asked you, what's the other thing, fish would you give him a serpent. Now, do you know why Jesus said that? Does anybody know why Jesus said that? Any theologians up in here All right, I'm the only one. All right, I'm messing around, I like to play around sometimes. Jesus said that if you stood it out in that time, there were stones that looked like bread, they were flat, they were white. There were fish serpents that can curl up in a certain way and look like a fish.

45:53
So Jesus said several things. One, god will never give you anything that's going to hurt you. Two, he's not going to give you something that looks like what you asked for. He's going to give you what you asked for. That's how much he's hearing you and what Helping you. When Jesus was at Lazarus tomb, he said Father, I thank you that you have what Heard me, somebody doing it for their sake. I don't really need to say that, because I know you heard me. And then he said Lazarus, come forth After four days of being dead. You have now, because Jesus knew I am a son of the living God who has been heard.

46:39
If you start believing that God is really hearing you, you're going to see some miraculous things in your life. If you start believing that God is seriously about helping you, you're going to see some dynamic breakthroughs in your life Right next year, not 10 years from now, right now. So I say right now, this year, expect God to hear you and to help you. Hallelujah, he's a good God who loves His people. Thank you, jesus. And he made your life good for David. He made life good for Joseph when he went through, god turned that whole thing around and made life good for him. And when, in the generation, when, in the age of grace, god will turn everything around and make things good for you. That's why we say all things are working together for your.

47:37
What Good? Because you love God and you're going to call it to His purpose. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow you. What? Some days of your life, some days of your life, a few days of your life, on your birthday, on Christmas, all the God is on a Christmas God. Sometimes we take our life concepts and we put it on God. You do the work to renew your mind. He's not a Christmas God. What does that mean? He's not waiting for a special day to bless you. Every day is a day of receiving. So I say today is my receiving day. Today I receive the help I need the love, I need the breakthrough, I need the money I need. So I say today, hallelujah, you need healing in your body. Receive today. Thank you, jesus. You need understanding Today, hallelujah, you're going to put it off today. These guys receiving joy today, amen.

48:55
I don't have the time to go into all the people in the Bible that God made life good for them, but if you study it, he made life good for everybody. He'll make life good for you. So I say he's making life good for me right now. The Lord is my shepherd Not going to be one day. He makes me right now lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in the past of righteousness for His name's sake.

49:39
If you study it out, there were righteousness. We should be translated prosperity or victory, in the context of the Psalm and the Hebrew word. If you study the word out, go to James McCord and it says righteousness, prosperity, victory. The Hebrew mind considered righteousness prosperity. Read Psalm 112, you understand what I'm talking about. And Paul quotes Psalm 112 in Sir Corinthians 9. He'll increase the fruits of your righteousness. I can increase the fruits of my righteousness. What are you talking about? We're talking about money. We're talking about righteousness, because the Hebrew mind, righteousness also meant prosperity. So really the better translation would be he leads you in the past of prosperity. For His name's sake. His reputation is on the line.

50:21
Ye, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. You are riding your staff. They what Comfort me? God wants to bring you comfort. You prepare a? What table before me in the presence of my what enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup, what Runs over? Then he says surely goodness and mercy. So follow me. All these are my life and I will dwell in the house of Lord forever. God is good and he's making life good for you, amen. Somebody shout hallelujah In the last point, point number five.

51:02
He will never stop healing you. Next, 1038 and we're done. And we're going to have people stand up and get healed. How God? I know any Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. There's power in this place who went about doing good and healing all who are oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Somebody say God is with me and God was with Jesus and he healed people all the time.

51:27
The scriptures that says and he healed them all. There's a talk about the people right there showing God's will. I want to heal everybody. There's a scripture that talks about how he was among some religious leaders who were like hating on Him. But the Bible says the power of the Lord was present to heal them, though they didn't get healed. So something can be present for you and you not receive it, amen. And so the healing power of God is always present to heal you. Now it's wonderful to get healed in church. Words of knowledge, gifts of healings, path to lay hands on you. Somebody lays hands on you. It's beautiful. But you can receive healing on your bed. You can receive healing in your kitchen. You can receive healing in your bathroom. The power of the Lord is present everywhere. What you're going to do is plug your faith into it and say I receive my healing, amen. Hallelujah.

52:15
There's a leper who said to Jesus, came running to him and said if you're willing, you can make me clean. He said listen, bro, I'm about to kill that concept. I'm not only able, I'm always willing. I am willing to be cleansed. He touched his hand forth and the Bible says immediately, the leprosy left him. God is the God of the immediate response, even if your manifestation is not immediate. He has heard you right now. If in the Old Testament he heard Daniel, under the new covenant he's heard you. Remember the angel who came 21 days later. He said from the day you prayed, the Father heard you. I've come because of your words. God is healing you now.

53:07
If you're sick in your body, stand to your feet. We're not gonna have a healing line. You're sick in your body, stand to your feet. Oh, it's a lot of you. If you're sick in your body not everybody, just if you're sick of a disease, you have a pain put your hand on that place where the pain or the sickness is, you may feel some warmth, hallelujah, and say this with me Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for the healing anointing, I thank you for healing grace and, in the name of Jesus, I take authority over this sickness, over this disease, over this pain, and I command you to go now. In Jesus' name, I release the healing power of God into my own body and I say thank you, father, for the healing anointing, for your healing grace. By the stripes of Jesus, I'm healed.

54:07
In Jesus' name, go ahead and lift your hands and praise God for your healing, hallelujah. Some of you should already see a change. Wave your hand. If you feel something different in your body. Wave your hand. I see that one hand. Anybody else? I see another hand, something different? I see that other hand. Praise God, anybody else? Something different in your body? I see that hand. Okay, praise God. Hallelujah, I see that hand too. If you can have been down, been down, if you can have moved your knee or your leg or some other kind of pain, it's gone now. In Jesus' name, he's a healer, hallelujah, and he loves you. There's one more thing I'm going to do and we're done.

54:47
If you are in this place and you're not born again, you are what the Bible calls an unbeliever. But you don't have to leave this place an unbeliever, you can leave here. A believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. You say, oh, I believe in Jesus. No, I talked about a believer, somebody who receives him as Savior. There's a heaven to gain and a hell to shun. I know this culture says there ain't no hell. It is there and the Bible says that if you don't receive Jesus, that's where you go. But if you want to turn that around, it's easy because Jesus did all the work and say Pastor Maurice, that's me. I don't want to go to hell, I want a relationship with God. I want to live for Jesus. I want my name written in the book of life.

55:34
If that's, you, raise your hand high and we're going to pray with you and you're going to be born again. Raise your hand high. There's anyone in here. I see that one hand, anybody else? I am not saved. I don't know Jesus, I'm not born again, but I want to be born again. I want to be saved. I want a life with Christ. If that's, you raise your hand high and we are going to pray with you for you to receive Jesus. Amen, all right, sir, stand up. Praise the Lord, come forward real quick. Praise God, come on. Are you going to give this man a hand? Hallelujah, thank you, jesus. Stand right here, praise God. Anybody else want to come? Going once, going twice. One more call, if that's you, I want to be saved.

56:24
Pastor Maurice, I want to give my life to Jesus. Hallelujah. Well, praise God, this altar call was for you, sir. You're about to change your eternal destiny. God loves you, he cares about you and you're about to write your ticket to heaven. Bow your head and say this with me Lord Jesus, I'm a sinner, but I don't want to be a sinner, no more.

56:48
I believe that you died for my sins and God raised you from the dead. You are alive today. You are Lord. I ask you to come into my heart and be my Savior and be my Lord. In the name of the Lord Jesus, I've just been born again. Amen. Hallelujah, come on and shout. This is the most important thing that happened today. This man just went from death to life. Hallelujah, praise the Lord Jesus, congratulations, sir. God bless you. And does he go to the back? Go back to his seat. You go back to his seat and fill in the card, and then they'll get to you and tell you what to do next. Okay, can I give you a hug? Welcome to the family of God. Praise God, city Light. Thank you, I love you. You are blessed. You're going higher, amen. Thank you, pastor. James.
