Eu vou gritar. [04:23] If you don't yell back, it's going to be awkward. Se você não gritar de volta, vai ser estranho. [04:28] It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. Foi pela fé que Abraão obedeceu quando Deus o chamou para deixar sua casa e ir para outra terra que Deus lhe daria como herança. [04:37] Now, let me just stop real quick. Agora, deixe-me parar um pouco. [04:39] These are all faith phrases. Estas são todas frases de fé. [04:42] It was by faith Abraham obeyed. Foi pela fé que Abraão obedeceu. [04:44] When God called him, hearing God, that's faith. Quando Deus o chamou, ouvindo Deus, isso é fé. [04:48] To leave home, that's faith. Deixar sua casa, isso é fé. [04:48] To go to another land, that's faith. Ir para outra terra, isso é fé. [04:49] that God would give. que Deus daria. [04:51] He receives an inheritance. Ele recebe uma herança. [04:53] That's all faith. Isso é tudo fé. [04:54] But now I'm going to give you my favorite faith phrase in the Bible. Mas agora vou te dar minha frase de fé favorita na Bíblia. [04:57] He went without knowing Ele foi sem saber [05:05] where he was going. para onde ele estava indo. [05:09] Oo. Oo. [05:09] And I want to preach about that today for a little bit. E eu quero pregar sobre isso hoje um pouco. [05:16] I know God can and I know God will, Eu sei que Deus pode e eu sei que Deus vai, [05:18] I know God can and I know God will, but I don't know how. Eu sei que Deus pode e eu sei que Deus vai, mas eu não sei como. [05:27] And I believe today God's going to help us walk by faith. E eu acredito que hoje Deus vai nos ajudar a andar pela fé. [05:29] Father, I thank you for the gift of faith that is on this house. Pai, eu te agradeço pelo dom da fé que está nesta casa. [05:34] And I thank you today, you're going to strengthen our faith. E eu te agradeço hoje, que você vai fortalecer nossa fé. [05:39] And our response in advance is yes. E nossa resposta antecipada é sim. [05:43] in Jesus name. em nome de Jesus. [05:43] And everybody said, "Amen." E todos disseram: "Amém." [05:48] One more time, every location, clap your hands and give God praise.

[05:55] Look at your neighbor and tell them, "I don't know how." Olhe para o seu vizinho e diga a ele: "Eu não sei como." [05:57] Just tell them, "I don't know." Apenas diga a ele: "Eu não sei." [06:00] I don't I don't know how. Eu não, eu não sei como. [06:07] God invites his children into a life of faith. Deus convida seus filhos para uma vida de fé. [06:12] This is the possibility of every believer. Esta é a possibilidade de todo crente. [06:18] 2 Corinthians 5:7 that we can walk by faith and not by sight. 2 Coríntios 5:7 que podemos andar pela fé e não pela vista. [06:26] Before you are a Christian, you've never walked by faith. Antes de você ser cristão, você nunca andou pela fé. [06:29] You only walk by sight. Você só anda pela vista. [06:31] You only walk by the five senses. Você só anda pelos cinco sentidos. [06:35] But now that you are a believer, we have an opportunity to do something that we've never done before. Mas agora que você é um crente, temos a oportunidade de fazer algo que nunca fizemos antes. [06:43] And that is walk by faith. E isso é andar pela fé. [06:46] That we don't just live by the five senses. Que não vivemos apenas pelos cinco sentidos. [06:48] We don't just live by circumstance. Não vivemos apenas pelas circunstâncias. [06:50] We don't just live by what we can see, but we now get to live in an unseen realm called the life of faith. Não vivemos apenas pelo que podemos ver, mas agora podemos viver em um reino invisível chamado vida de fé. [06:57] God is inviting us into this. Deus está nos convidando para isso. [06:59] And let me just say this. E deixe-me dizer isto. [07:01] Most Christians will never truly experience the joy, the adventure, A maioria dos cristãos nunca experimentará verdadeiramente a alegria, a aventura, [07:08] The peace of walking by faith. A paz de andar pela fé. [07:12] But God is inviting us into this walk. Mas Deus está nos convidando para esta caminhada. [07:14] See, eyesight shows me what is. Veja, a visão me mostra o que é. [07:18] Regret shows me what could have been. O arrependimento me mostra o que poderia ter sido. [07:22] But faith shows me what could be. Mas a fé me mostra o que pode ser. [07:26] And I just want you to know right now we are living in one of those three areas as I speak. E eu só quero que você saiba que agora estamos vivendo em uma dessas três áreas enquanto falo. [07:30] Eyesight. Visão. [07:30] It just it just shows me the obvious. Isso apenas, isso apenas me mostra o óbvio. [07:33] It takes no faith to see. Não é preciso fé para ver. [07:38] It takes no faith to talk about what I'm already experiencing. Não é preciso fé para falar sobre o que já estou vivenciando. [07:43] A lot of times we just walk by regret. Muitas vezes, apenas vivemos de arrependimento. [07:46] We just live in what could have been. Nós apenas vivemos no que poderia ter sido. [07:48] Oh man, if I would have, if I could have, if I should have. Ah, cara, se eu tivesse, se eu pudesse, se eu devesse. [07:50] Man, if I have bought Bitcoin when it was 10 cents. Cara, se eu tivesse comprado Bitcoin quando custava 10 centavos. [07:52] Come on, somebody. Vamos lá, alguém. [07:56] I should have done this. Eu deveria ter feito isso. [07:56] I should have done that. Eu deveria ter feito aquilo. [07:58] I should have whatever it could be. Eu deveria ter o que quer que pudesse ser. [07:59] And so many believers end up living their entire life really not believing. E tantos crentes acabam vivendo a vida inteira sem realmente acreditar. [08:02] They just end up in eyesight and they end up in regret. Eles apenas acabam na visão e acabam no arrependimento. [08:05] But there is a third place that we can live. Mas há um terceiro lugar onde podemos viver. [08:07] It's É [08:10] Called faith. It's called the unseen. It is called a place of what could be and what should be. Chamado fé. É chamado o invisível. É chamado um lugar do que poderia ser e do que deveria ser. [08:18] And I've never been there before. E eu nunca estive lá antes. [08:20] But I feel like the Holy Spirit is calling me into something that I've actually never seen before or experienced before. Mas sinto que o Espírito Santo está me chamando para algo que eu realmente nunca vi antes ou experimentei antes. [08:29] I have no reference for it. Eu não tenho referência para isso. [08:31] See, when you're walking by eyesight, when you're walking by regret, you can always look back and have a reference point for what you should expect for tomorrow. Veja, quando você anda pela visão, quando você anda pelo arrependimento, você sempre pode olhar para trás e ter um ponto de referência para o que você deve esperar para amanhã. [08:40] So, it's been bad. It's going to be bad. It is bad. It's going to be bad. Então, tem sido ruim. Vai ser ruim. É ruim. Vai ser ruim. [08:47] You always have a reference point, a worst case scenario of what has been that is lying to you, telling you what could always be. Você sempre tem um ponto de referência, um pior cenário do que tem sido que está mentindo para você, dizendo o que poderia sempre ser. [08:55] But faith shows me something and reveals something and tells me something that I've never been in before. Mas a fé me mostra algo e revela algo e me diz algo em que eu nunca estive antes. [09:00] The only reference point I have for tomorrow is Jesus himself because he is the God who was and is, but he is to come. O único ponto de referência que tenho para amanhã é o próprio Jesus porque ele é o Deus que era e é, mas há de vir. [09:09] And he is inviting me E ele está me convidando [09:12] into something that I've never seen before. em algo que eu nunca vi antes. [09:14] I've never lived in before. Eu nunca morei antes. [09:17] But something in my spirit says my best days are still in front of me and God still has a plan for me. Mas algo em meu espírito diz que meus melhores dias ainda estão à minha frente e Deus ainda tem um plano para mim. [09:23] Come on, everybody say faith. Vamos lá, todo mundo diga fé. [09:27] We We walk by faith. Nós andamos pela fé. [09:31] Oh, it's one thing to talk faith and it's another thing to believe, but it's it's another thing when your faith gets in your feet. Oh, é uma coisa falar de fé e é outra coisa acreditar, mas é outra coisa quando sua fé entra em seus pés. [09:43] Woo. Uau. [09:43] That's where the That's where the real joy comes. É aí que a verdadeira alegria vem. [09:44] Do do me a favor, everybody. Faça-me um favor, todo mundo. [09:47] Just kind of stomp a little bit. Apenas dê uma pequena pisada. [09:48] Can I Can I hear your feet? Posso ouvir seus pés? [09:52] That That That's when you know you're really in faith. É aí que você sabe que está realmente na fé. [09:54] When it starts getting in your feet, when your walk starts changing and when God starts calling you into a place that you've never been before. Quando começa a entrar em seus pés, quando sua caminhada começa a mudar e quando Deus começa a chamá-lo para um lugar onde você nunca esteve antes. [10:03] But oh, this can be scary. Mas oh, isso pode ser assustador. [10:03] Faith feels risky. Fé parece arriscado. [10:06] It's not risky, but it can feel risky. Não é arriscado, mas pode parecer arriscado. [10:09] And a lot of times we end up not taking a step of faith because we're waiting on E muitas vezes acabamos não dando um passo de fé porque estamos esperando por [10:13] Clarity. Clareza. [10:16] Pastor, just pray for me. Pastor, ore por mim. [10:18] I'm I'm I'm just really in a season right now where I'm praying for clarity. Eu estou, eu estou, eu estou realmente em uma estação agora onde estou orando por clareza. [10:23] I think a lot of us are praying for clarity and we need to be praying for courage. Eu acho que muitos de nós estamos orando por clareza e precisamos orar por coragem. [10:31] Just really believing for clarity in this next six months. Apenas crendo realmente em clareza nos próximos seis meses. [10:32] I would stop praying that and I would just start doing something that God's calling you to do. Eu pararia de orar por isso e apenas começaria a fazer algo que Deus está te chamando para fazer. [10:39] There have been a lot of seasons I prayed for clarity and really what I needed to be praying for was the courage to obey the thing God's calling me to do that is terrifying to my flesh, but my spirit is saying God is calling me into something. Houve muitas estações em que orei por clareza e, na verdade, o que eu precisava orar era pela coragem de obedecer àquilo que Deus está me chamando para fazer, o que é aterrorizante para a minha carne, mas meu espírito está dizendo que Deus está me chamando para algo. [10:55] Faith requires movement before manifestation, confidence in God before clarity, and believing before seeing. A fé requer movimento antes da manifestação, confiança em Deus antes da clareza e crer antes de ver. [11:07] Abraham went and I believe that God is calling us into a life of faith. Abraão foi e eu acredito que Deus está nos chamando para uma vida de fé. [11:10] So, here's what I Então, aqui está o que eu [11:13] know about faith. conhecer sobre a fé. [11:15] Number one, faith knows. Número um, a fé conhece. [11:17] The Bible said that God called Abraham. A Bíblia disse que Deus chamou Abraão. [11:23] Abraham had a word from God and all Abraham needed was a word from God. Abraão teve uma palavra de Deus e tudo o que Abraão precisava era uma palavra de Deus. [11:28] Friend, all you need is a word from God and it could change your entire life. Amigo, tudo o que você precisa é uma palavra de Deus e isso pode mudar sua vida inteira. [11:33] By the way, that's why we should always come to church with expectation. A propósito, é por isso que devemos sempre vir à igreja com expectativa. [11:34] That's why we should always come to church with a Bible. É por isso que devemos sempre vir à igreja com uma Bíblia. [11:37] That's why we should always come to church leaning in. É por isso que devemos sempre vir à igreja atentos. [11:39] We're not just here to check a box, but we're here to have an encounter with God. Não estamos aqui apenas para cumprir uma formalidade, mas estamos aqui para ter um encontro com Deus. [11:45] Because we know that one word from God, one little phrase from a song, one little prayer that someone might pray for you, something might happen in your life that changes your entire life. Porque sabemos que uma palavra de Deus, uma pequena frase de uma música, uma pequena oração que alguém possa fazer por você, algo pode acontecer em sua vida que mude sua vida inteira. [11:53] One word from God. Uma palavra de Deus. [11:56] Abraham got a word and it changed his life. Abraão recebeu uma palavra e isso mudou sua vida. [11:59] And I believe you can get a word that changes your life. E eu acredito que você pode receber uma palavra que mude sua vida. [12:06] There's an old preacher FF Bosworth. Há um velho pregador, FF Bosworth. [12:07] He's in heaven now, but he said that faith begins where the will of God is known. Ele está no céu agora, mas disse que a fé começa onde a vontade de Deus é conhecida. [12:13] that once God can reveal it to me now que uma vez que Deus possa revelá-la a mim agora [12:15] Faith can begin to be birthed in my heart and that's why the word of God is so important to us. A fé pode começar a nascer em meu coração e é por isso que a palavra de Deus é tão importante para nós. [12:20] That man shall not live by bread alone, Jesus said, but every word that comes from the mouth of God. Que o homem não viverá só de pão, disse Jesus, mas de toda palavra que procede da boca de Deus. [12:28] That means that there is an entire way of living that goes beyond bread alone, goes beyond the natural alone, goes beyond what you can see alone. Isso significa que há um modo de vida inteiro que vai além do pão, vai além do natural, vai além do que você pode ver. [12:36] There is a place called faith that can sustain you and can cause you to go. Existe um lugar chamado fé que pode te sustentar e te fazer avançar. [12:43] See, that's what sustained Jesus for 40 days. Veja, foi isso que sustentou Jesus por 40 dias. [12:45] For 40 days, he didn't eat, but he had the word. Por 40 dias, ele não comeu, mas ele tinha a palavra. [12:51] And see, anytime the enemy can keep us ignorant in a place, he can keep us bound in that place. E veja, sempre que o inimigo pode nos manter ignorantes em um lugar, ele pode nos manter presos nesse lugar. [12:58] But if I can get the word on it, I can get freedom in that area. Mas se eu puder ter a palavra sobre isso, posso ter liberdade nessa área. [13:00] And this is why the word matters. E é por isso que a palavra importa. [13:03] Can I just talk about this in 2026? Posso falar sobre isso em 2026? [13:05] That's why you ought to read the Bible. É por isso que você deveria ler a Bíblia. [13:09] Come on, somebody. Vamos lá, alguém. [13:11] That's why whenever you read the scripture, something supernatural happens in your life. É por isso que sempre que você lê as escrituras, algo sobrenatural acontece em sua vida. [13:16] Something begins to change on the inside. Algo começa a mudar por dentro. [13:18] Well, I read the Bible and I don't feel like I understood it. Bem, eu leio a Bíblia e não sinto que a entendi. [13:19] I promise it's working. Eu prometo que está funcionando. [13:20] Well, I read the Bible this morning and I don't remember anything I read. Bem, eu li a Bíblia esta manhã e não me lembro de nada do que li. [13:23] I promise it's work. Eu prometo que funciona. [13:24] Just keep showing up to the book. Apenas continue aparecendo para o livro. [13:26] Just keep eating. Apenas continue comendo. [13:28] I promise it is doing something in your life. Eu prometo que está fazendo algo em sua vida. [13:32] By faith we understand, this is so powerful. Pela fé entendemos, isso é tão poderoso. [13:36] Hebrews 11:3. Hebreus 11:3. [13:37] By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command. Pela fé entendemos que todo o universo foi formado por ordem de Deus. [13:39] Watch this. Veja isto. [13:42] That what we see did not come from anything that can be seen. Que o que vemos não veio de nada que possa ser visto. [13:45] Let me just say that one more time. Deixe-me dizer isso mais uma vez. [13:49] That what we see you see it now. Que o que vemos você vê agora. [13:52] But it didn't it didn't come from the scene. Mas não veio da cena. [13:57] But it didn't start there. Mas não começou lá. [13:59] It actually started in the invisible. Na verdade, começou no invisível. [14:00] Oh, you you you see elevation now. Oh, você você você vê a elevação agora. [14:01] But but you didn't see it when it was a dream in the heart of our pastors. Mas você não o viu quando era um sonho no coração de nossos pastores. [14:17] You see all this, but it didn't start here. Você vê tudo isso, mas não começou aqui. [14:20] It didn't start in the scene. Não começou na cena. [14:24] It started in the unseen. Começou no invisível. [14:27] You see that great marriage now, but it didn't start there. Você vê esse grande casamento agora, mas não começou lá. [14:31] You see that family serving the Lord now, but it didn't start there. Você vê essa família servindo ao Senhor agora, mas não começou lá. [14:34] You see that person in business now, but it didn't start there. Você vê essa pessoa nos negócios agora, mas não começou lá. [14:38] That you see that person on fire for God now, but it didn't start there. Você vê essa pessoa inflamada por Deus agora, mas não começou lá. [14:39] Everything that God does always begins in the unseen. Tudo o que Deus faz sempre começa no invisível. [14:43] It begins by faith. Começa pela fé. [14:47] It begins with a vision. Começa com uma visão. [14:51] It begins with a picture. Começa com uma imagem. [14:53] And I just want to declare, God's going to give you a word. E eu só quero declarar, Deus vai te dar uma palavra. [14:55] God's going to give you a vision. Deus vai te dar uma visão. [14:57] God's going to give you a picture that right now it would make no sense. Deus vai te dar uma imagem que agora mesmo não faria sentido. [14:59] But if you don't give up on the word, eventually you will see what you couldn't see. Mas se você não desistir da palavra, eventualmente você verá o que não conseguia ver. [15:02] Everything we can see began in the Tudo o que podemos ver começou no [15:18] Unseen. Let me let me go a little bit further here. Invisível. Deixe-me, deixe-me ir um pouco mais longe aqui. [15:20] Colossians chapter 1:16. Colossenses capítulo 1:16. [15:22] For by him all things were created. Pois por ele foram criadas todas as coisas. [15:26] Now he's going to explain what things are in heaven and on earth. Agora ele vai explicar que coisas estão no céu e na terra. [15:28] Watch this. Preste atenção nisso. [15:31] Visible and invisible. Visíveis e invisíveis. [15:33] What are things? O que são as coisas? [15:35] Some things are visible. Algumas coisas são visíveis. [15:37] Some things are invisible. Algumas coisas são invisíveis. [15:39] And to God, they're both things. E para Deus, ambas são coisas. [15:44] So, we only appreciate the things we can see. Então, nós só apreciamos as coisas que podemos ver. [15:49] But God is more into the things that cannot be seen, that are going to eventually do something in our life that eventually we will see. Mas Deus está mais focado nas coisas que não podem ser vistas, que eventualmente farão algo em nossa vida que eventualmente veremos. [16:01] If you can see it today, it began in the unseen. Se você pode ver isso hoje, começou no invisível. [16:03] I'm talking about faith knows. Estou falando sobre fé que conhece. [16:05] I'm talking about getting a word from God. Estou falando sobre receber uma palavra de Deus. [16:08] I'm talking about I am going after God. Estou falando sobre ir atrás de Deus. [16:10] I am believing for a move of God in my life. Estou crendo em um mover de Deus na minha vida. [16:13] I've gotten a word from God, but I don't see it yet. Recebi uma palavra de Deus, mas ainda não a vejo. [16:15] That's okay because that thing that God spoke to you that you Tudo bem, porque aquela coisa que Deus falou com você que você [16:20] Don't see is as real to God as the things that you can see. Não veja como real para Deus quanto as coisas que você pode ver. [16:23] Yeah. Sim. [16:26] And it has to get that real in your spirit before you ever see it with your eyes. E tem que ficar tão real em seu espírito antes que você o veja com seus olhos. [16:32] And a we only appreciate what can be seen. E nós só apreciamos o que pode ser visto. [16:36] But God appreciates the unseen. Mas Deus aprecia o que não é visto. [16:40] In 1971, Walt Disney World opened in Orlando, Florida. Em 1971, a Walt Disney World abriu em Orlando, Flórida. [16:49] And when Walt Disney World opened in Orlando, Florida, Lillian Disney's best friend leaned over to her. E quando a Walt Disney World abriu em Orlando, Flórida, a melhor amiga de Lillian Disney se inclinou para ela. [16:55] Walt's widow leaned over and said, "It's such a shame Walt never got to see this." A viúva de Walt se inclinou e disse: "É uma pena que Walt nunca tenha visto isso." [17:01] And Lillian looked back at her and said, "He did see it." E Lillian olhou para ela e disse: "Ele viu." [17:06] That's why we're here. É por isso que estamos aqui. [17:12] Walt been dead for five years, but he saw it. Walt estava morto há cinco anos, mas ele viu. [17:16] He He saw it before we saw it. Ele, ele viu isso antes de nós vermos. [17:18] He dreamed it before we saw it. Ele sonhou com isso antes de nós vermos. [17:18] He He was Ele, ele estava [17:21] Walking in it before we were walking in it. Andando nisso antes de estarmos andando nisso. [17:25] And may that be the testimony of your family. E que isso seja o testemunho da sua família. [17:27] And may that be the testimony to your children that mama saw something, daddy saw something, they got something from heaven. E que isso seja o testemunho para seus filhos que mamãe viu algo, papai viu algo, eles receberam algo do céu. [17:36] And because they saw it, and because they believed it, though it was invisible, now we are walking in something that our parents believe for. E porque eles viram, e porque eles acreditaram, embora fosse invisível, agora estamos andando em algo pelo qual nossos pais acreditaram. [17:47] He did see it. Ele viu. [17:49] Don't give up on the word God spoke to you. Não desista da palavra que Deus falou com você. [17:51] Don't give up on the dream God put in your spirit. Não desista do sonho que Deus colocou no seu espírito. [17:54] Don't give up on the thing that God promised you, though it is taking longer than you expected, and it always will. Não desista da coisa que Deus prometeu a você, embora esteja demorando mais do que você esperava, e sempre vai demorar. [18:06] God's doing something in your life. Deus está fazendo algo na sua vida. [18:09] In 1 Peter chapter 1 23, Peter talks about the scripture and he says this, "We've been born again not of corruptible seed, but watch this, incorruptible through the word of God, which lives and Em 1 Pedro capítulo 1, versículo 23, Pedro fala sobre as escrituras e diz isto: "Nascemos de novo, não de semente corruptível, mas vejam isto, incorruptível pela palavra de Deus, que vive e [18:21] abides. persevera. [18:22] Here's what Peter's saying. É o que Pedro está dizendo. [18:22] He's saying the word is incorruptible seed. Ele está dizendo que a palavra é semente incorruptível. [18:27] That means every time the word goes in, you is doing something in your life. Isso significa que toda vez que a palavra entra, você está fazendo algo em sua vida. [18:33] I don't see it today, but it's working. Eu não vejo isso hoje, mas está funcionando. [18:36] I don't feel it today, but it's working. Eu não sinto isso hoje, mas está funcionando. [18:39] Haven't seen a breakthrough yet, but it's working. Ainda não vi um avanço, mas está funcionando. [18:41] Even when I can't see it, you're working. Mesmo quando não consigo ver, você está trabalhando. [18:45] Ain't that so much easier to sing than to live? Não é isso muito mais fácil de cantar do que de viver? [18:47] Come on, somebody. Vamos lá, alguém. [18:47] Even when I don't feel it, you're working. Mesmo quando não sinto, você está trabalhando. [18:53] You You never stop working. Você, você nunca para de trabalhar. [18:53] You You never Man, that is That is so good to sing on a Sunday morning. Você, você nunca Cara, isso é isso é tão bom de cantar em uma manhã de domingo. [18:58] It is so hard to live on a Monday morning. É tão difícil de viver em uma manhã de segunda-feira. [19:00] Come on, somebody. Vamos lá, alguém. [19:00] But God's but God's word is working. Mas a palavra de Deus, mas a palavra de Deus está funcionando. [19:06] I want to show you a place right by where I live in Vegas. Eu quero te mostrar um lugar perto de onde eu moro em Vegas. [19:07] It's called Death Valley. Chama-se Vale da Morte. [19:09] This is the hottest and the lowest point in America. Este é o ponto mais quente e mais baixo da América. [19:12] And it's the hottest place in the world. E é o lugar mais quente do mundo. [19:16] That's where I live, y'all. É aí que eu moro, pessoal. [19:17] That's my backyard. Esse é o meu quintal. [19:18] Actually, that's a picture of my backyard. Na verdade, essa é uma foto do meu quintal. [19:20] I don't know if you ever want to see where I live. Não sei se você quer ver onde eu moro. [19:21] That's where I live. É aí que eu moro. [19:21] And so, like right now, it's like E então, tipo agora, é tipo [19:23] A squillion degrees and I don't know, it's hot and it's brutal. Um quintilhão de graus e eu não sei, está quente e é brutal. [19:29] So that's Death Valley. Então, esse é o Vale da Morte. [19:31] Every once in a while it'll rain in Death Valley. De vez em quando chove no Vale da Morte. [19:33] It's very rare, but when it does, Death Valley turns into this. É muito raro, mas quando acontece, o Vale da Morte se transforma nisso. [19:35] I want I want you to see the next picture. Eu quero, eu quero que você veja a próxima imagem. [19:45] Because what you couldn't see in picture number one is that there was seed in the ground. Porque o que você não pôde ver na imagem número um é que havia sementes no chão. [19:54] I'm about to start preaching. Estou prestes a começar a pregar. [19:54] Are y'all ready? Vocês estão prontos? [19:56] Can we Can we I say, "Y'all ready?" Podemos, podemos dizer: "Vocês estão prontos?" [19:58] Hey, can we turn up a little bit? Ei, podemos aumentar um pouco? [20:00] That seed's been working. Essa semente tem estado a trabalhar. [20:03] That incorruptible seed has been working. Essa semente incorruptível tem estado a trabalhar. [20:07] I don't see it yet, but when the rain of the spirit of God touches my life, all of the sudden something begins to work in my Eu ainda não vejo, mas quando a chuva do espírito de Deus toca a minha vida, de repente algo começa a trabalhar em mim. [20:17] and I declare the rain is falling on your life. e eu declaro que a chuva está caindo sobre a sua vida. [20:20] I DECLARE YOU WILL SEE WHAT YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR. EU DECLARO QUE VOCÊ VERÁ O QUE VOCÊ TEM ORADO. [20:22] You Você [20:25] will see what you've been believing. [20:27] Don't give up yet. God is working. Come [20:32] on, give God a big shout of praise. If [20:34] you believe that the word works. [20:41] Haven't seen it yet, [20:43] >> but I'm standing on a word. [20:47] >> My life don't look like right now what [20:50] God told me, but I'm standing on a word. [20:53] God put something in my spirit and my [20:56] circumstances do not agree. But I'm [20:58] standing on a word and my life might [21:01] look like death valley right now, but [21:03] it's actually not dead. It's just [21:04] dormant. But I believe the rain's going [21:07] to fall in my life. [21:12] Y'all, faith will make you look like a [21:14] genius eventually, [21:18] >> but at FIRST IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A [21:20] FOOL. [21:22] YES. [21:23] >> You get A WORD, YOU'RE BELIEVING GOD, [21:26] AND NOTHING AGREES. [21:29] >> And then one day, [21:31] >> you see it. [21:34] >> And then we call THOSE PEOPLE OVERNIGHT [21:36] SUCCESSES. [21:42] >> But we didn't see the years and the [21:44] years and the years of believing God. [21:46] I've just come today TO TELL SOMEBODY, [21:48] DO NOT QUIT YET. The word is working. [21:54] Faith knows. [21:58] NUMBER TWO, FAITH DOESN'T KNOW. [22:06] DANG. [22:08] I wish that wasn't true, but it's true. [22:11] Oh, faith knows. Faith gets a word from [22:13] God. Faith Faith stands on the authority [22:15] of scripture. Faith does not know the [22:18] details. [22:20] I I know God can [22:23] >> and I and I know God will, but I don't [22:26] >> I don't know how. [22:28] >> He He went without knowing [22:33] where he was going. [22:35] >> Can you imagine that moment? Abraham [22:38] comes into the tent. Hey baby, pack up. [22:42] We on the move. God spoke to me. [22:46] Sarah goes, "Wow, that's great. Where [22:48] are we going?" I don't know. [22:54] Is that the same God that told you we [22:55] were going to have kids? Yeah. Yeah. [22:56] Yeah. Yeah. Him. Come on. Let's go. [23:00] Come on, somebody. [23:02] Felt like a fool. [23:05] Felt like where is God? But faith goes [23:08] without knowing. [23:10] >> I don't need to know. God knows. [23:13] And anything God is not telling me right [23:15] now, I guess I don't need to know. The [23:17] Bible said it like this that the secret [23:19] things belong to God. So anything God is [23:22] keeping a secret from me is obviously to [23:24] protect me. [23:26] >> He went without knowing. [23:29] And and we want God to show us [23:32] everything. I just want to submit this [23:34] to you. If God showed you everything, [23:37] you wouldn't do anything [23:43] cuz it would freak you the freak out. [23:48] So, thy word [23:50] is a lamp unto my feet. [23:54] >> This this little word lamp right there, [23:56] I don't want to bore you, but it's it's [23:58] a little hand lamp that they would hold [24:00] like this, like a little candle. They [24:02] say it was like four to six lumens. So, [24:04] your iPhone is like a 100 lumens, 200 [24:07] lumen. We're talking about step by step. [24:10] >> God, show me more. You can't handle it. [24:13] I can't even show you five feet in front [24:15] of you. let alone 5 years in front of [24:17] you. [24:18] >> So I have to just I have to give you [24:19] enough to take a step. [24:22] >> Go left. Okay. All right. Go forward. [24:25] Okay. Take a step back. Relax. Okay. Go [24:27] right. Okay. Here we go. [24:30] And it feels slow, [24:34] >> but God's actually protecting me. It [24:37] feels longer than I expected, but God is [24:40] actually covering me. The the Bible [24:42] would say it like this in in King James, [24:44] so it sounds really pretty. Though the [24:46] vision ties. [24:49] Come on, King James people. That's just [24:51] a really cute poetic King James way of [24:54] saying this going to take a while, [24:58] >> but I'm going step by step. [25:01] >> Step by the The walk of faith is a walk. [25:07] >> It's just a God just wants a walk. [25:11] Faith doesn't know. I I I want God to [25:14] show me everything. You can't handle it. [25:17] You don't have the faith for that yet. [25:21] >> God can't show you what life is going to [25:22] be like in 10 years. You don't have that [25:24] faith yet. You have today's faith. Jesus [25:26] said, "Don't worry about tomorrow. [25:28] >> Today's got enough issues. [25:31] >> You You've got enough faith to get [25:33] through the next 24 hours, and then [25:34] tomorrow morning, you will have the [25:36] faith for those 24 hours." [25:39] Man, you got to you've you've got to [25:41] settle this in your heart. [25:44] >> You know, in 2018, we planted our church [25:47] in Las Vegas, and I saw God showed me. I [25:51] saw [25:53] the building. I saw the worshippers [25:56] coming. I saw the impact we would make [25:58] in the I saw it. I I saw it. I saw God [26:01] showed me that God gave me enough faith [26:04] to believe that God could do something [26:06] big in Vegas. God showed me that in [26:07] 2018. You know what God didn't show me [26:09] in 2018? God didn't show me COVID. [26:19] God didn't show me that year. God I [26:22] wasn't ready for that. [26:25] If God in 2018 would have showed me CO, [26:28] I would have never started our church. [26:30] I'd have been working here. I'll tell [26:31] you right now. I'd have called Chunks [26:33] and said, "Do you need a janitor? Do you [26:35] need a facilities director? What could I [26:38] do for you? I I'm here to serve. Amen. I [26:40] I'm just a humble servant. I I wouldn't [26:43] have done it. [26:45] So, God had to [26:48] He didn't lie to me, [26:50] but he had to give me just enough [26:54] >> of a word [26:56] >> to cause me to move [26:58] >> without showing me too much [27:01] >> cuz it would have overwhelmed me. So God [27:03] don't lie to us, but God don't give us [27:06] all the details either. [27:09] >> Like I love the names of God. Jehovah [27:11] Gyra, my provider. [27:13] Man, I love that. I love that. I I I [27:16] love I love Jehovah Rafa, my healer. [27:19] >> I love I love these beautiful these [27:22] beautiful names of God. There's there's [27:24] another name though um that they need to [27:27] they need to add to that song called the [27:29] name you know they Jehovah ni fight your [27:32] battles there's another name you got to [27:34] be deep in the Hebrew though it's only [27:35] like in Leviticus it's Jehovah sneaky [27:43] y'all ever met Jehovah sneaky Jehovah [27:46] sneaky be getting you into battles [27:50] Jehovah sneaky got me in a battle [27:57] He didn't lie. He just didn't give me [27:58] all the information. Cuz if he would [28:01] have given me too much info, I would [28:02] have never done anything. [28:05] >> God, I wasn't expecting this. I know you [28:07] weren't ready for this. But now that [28:09] you're in it, I'm going to give you the [28:11] grace and the faith to overcome a battle [28:15] you would have never walked into unless [28:18] I got you here. Come on, somebody say, [28:20] "Amen. [28:24] THINK ABOUT JOSEPH. YO JOE, YOU WANT TO [28:26] LEAD A NATION? YEAH. [28:29] You want your HATER BROTHERS TO BOW [28:31] DOWN? YES. I'VE BEEN WAITING for this [28:33] moment. [28:36] All right, cool. Let's go. Let's go. God [28:39] just didn't tell him [28:42] about the pit. [28:45] Just didn't tell him about Piper's wife. [28:47] Just didn't tell him about the prison. [28:49] just God just left out the next 13 years [28:54] of training for reigning that was going [28:58] to get Joseph ready for his place and [29:02] his promise. And I just want somebody to [29:04] know, you're in training right now, but [29:06] don't give up. You're you're in process [29:09] right now, but don't give up. You might [29:11] be in a pit right now, but don't give [29:13] up. God is working, and God knows [29:16] exactly where you're at. Even when you [29:19] don't know where God is at, [29:23] >> he is Jehovah [29:25] sneaky. [29:31] >> Hey Ezekiel, can these bones live? [29:34] I love what Ezekiel says back again. [29:36] Just so so spiritual. Lord, do you know? [29:41] Which is Ezekiel's way of saying I don't [29:44] know. [29:47] And I like living there. I like being [29:50] right there. Lord, you know. [29:52] I don't know, but you know. I'm [29:55] surprised you're not surprised. [29:58] I didn't expect this, but you're working [30:02] and you're moving. [30:04] >> Faith knows. Faith [30:08] doesn't know. [30:11] Number number three, faith goes. [30:16] Faith goes. Faith goes. Faith moves. [30:20] And the Bible said that Abraham, [30:24] he went. [30:26] I just want to ask a simple question. [30:28] And I'd love for you to wrestle with [30:30] this. If you're taking notes today, if [30:31] you haven't taken one note, this would [30:32] be a good one. What is God asking you to [30:35] do? [30:38] Do it. [30:40] And stop being scared to obey God. The [30:44] devil will convince you that obedience [30:47] is a risk. [30:50] >> But obedience is never a risk. It feels [30:53] like a risk, but it's not a risk. [30:57] What is what is God asking you to do? I [30:58] love what Mary said to the servants. [31:00] Look what she said about Jesus. Whatever [31:02] he says to you, do it. [31:06] Whatever. Is it time to start serving in [31:09] this house? Do it. [31:11] Is it is it time to start giving [31:13] financially this? Do it. Is it time to [31:16] forgive that person? Do it. [31:19] Is it Is it time to make it right in [31:22] that relationship? Do it. Is it time to [31:23] make the call? Do it. Is it time to get [31:26] married? Do it. Some of y'all been [31:28] living together for 18 years. You've [31:30] been praying about getting married. Do [31:32] it. [31:35] You know, we're just still making sure. [31:37] Dog, it's been a minute. [31:42] There's a conviction at Valentine right [31:44] now. We need to move on. [31:48] Is it Is it time to start having kids? [31:50] Do it. We don't know if we're ready. [31:52] You're not. You're not ready to have [31:55] children. Do it. [31:57] Is it time to get water baptized? Do it. [32:01] What What is God asking you to do? [32:05] Every act of obedience, [32:09] it always leads to God's blessing. It [32:13] leads to answers. It leads to wisdom. It [32:16] leads to better. Eventually, it leads to [32:19] better. Proverbs 4:18, that the path of [32:21] the righteous is like the dawn. Watch [32:22] this. It's getting brighter and [32:24] brighter. Here's what I've learned. That [32:26] if I walk with God, I'll have the I'll [32:27] have the team cup. If I walk with God, [32:30] eventually [32:32] it's getting brighter and brighter. [32:36] Not worse and worse, not darker and [32:37] darker, brighter and brighter. [32:40] But it can feel so scary to obey God. [32:46] What's God asking of you? Give it to [32:48] him. [32:50] Um, I have a nine-year-old daughter. [32:53] She's turning 10 in a couple of months, [32:54] Goldie. [32:56] every every once in a while we we [32:59] realize she's outgrown [33:01] her toys. [33:03] Any parents in the house? [33:05] You She starts outgrowing things. So, we [33:08] start packaging these toys and we start [33:11] getting them in bags and boxes cuz we're [33:12] going to bless a family with with [33:14] younger children. [33:16] And JJ, I I'll pull a toy out of her [33:19] closet that has not seen the light of [33:21] day in 5 years. [33:24] and I'll pull it out cuz we're going to [33:26] give it away. And the moment she sees [33:28] it, she goes, [33:33] "Dad, [33:35] I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT. [33:38] THAT'S MY FAVORITE TOY. DAD, [33:43] HOMIE, [33:46] you haven't seen that toy in five years. [33:49] I love that toy. [33:52] I have to keep that toy. [33:56] We'll we'll find clothes and shoes. I [33:59] love those shoes. They are that big. I [34:00] love those shoes. [34:03] Babe. Babe, we're You've outgrown that. [34:09] That fit you in a season, [34:12] but it's time to go. [34:15] That was good for you in one season. [34:17] Come on, somebody. But it's time to go. [34:21] that served you in one season, but it'll [34:24] hurt you in a new season. It's time to [34:26] go. But see, WE PRAY GOD DO A NEW THING [34:30] UNTIL HE STARTS DOING A NEW THING. [34:34] And then just like Jesus, WE GO, WE LIKE [34:36] THE OLD wine better. [34:39] >> Jesus go, nobody likes new wine and new [34:41] wine skin. [34:43] We pray for change [34:46] till God starts changing [34:50] >> because change don't feel like change. [34:52] Change feels like pain. [34:58] >> And she go, "Dad, I just I just really [34:59] think I need to keep this. I just I just [35:01] really think I just in case." [35:04] Does anybody have any just in cases in [35:08] your soul? [35:12] So, I'm I'm going to show you a picture. [35:14] It's so cheesy, but I don't care. I'm 42 [35:16] and I'm I'm embracing [35:19] the cheese season of my ministry. Is [35:22] that okay? [35:23] Cuz I want I I want you to see this cuz [35:26] I've I've been there. [35:28] Have you ever been there? I can't look [35:30] at that picture without crying. [35:36] But I love it, God. [35:42] And God's going, "But I'm doing a new [35:44] thing. [35:46] I'm taking you to a land that you don't [35:48] know." See, you know your past. [35:52] You know where you've been. Even if it's [35:55] unhealthy, at least it's familiar. [35:59] And now God's taking me into an [36:01] uncomfortable place. [36:06] But I have to believe that in the [36:07] exchange there's brighter and brighter. [36:13] But I've never been here before, God. [36:16] But this is bigger than me. But I love [36:18] this. [36:21] But I've outgrown this. [36:25] And Abraham says, "Let's go. [36:31] Never been where we're going, but let's [36:33] go. [36:37] And if I'm willing to go [36:41] without knowing, [36:45] that's where the blessing is. [36:52] And maybe you're holding on to something [36:53] today going, "God, I love it." [36:57] a comfort zone, a place that maybe it's [37:00] bitterness, maybe it's unforgiveness, [37:02] maybe [37:04] I don't know, maybe it's a relationship, [37:06] maybe it's a season of your life that [37:08] you just [37:10] you've you've you've so identified with [37:12] it that [37:14] it's become a familiar place [37:19] and yet Jesus is saying, "I'll trade [37:23] Yeah. [37:28] You want to have an exchange cuz I [37:30] promise my way is better. [37:34] But I love it, God. [37:39] And by the way, whatever act of [37:40] surrender you have to give God today, I [37:42] promise you it won't be your last. [37:46] So, you might as well just get [37:47] comfortable saying yes because [37:51] he just keeps pushing me [37:54] and leading me and guiding me without [38:01] knowing. [38:07] But that's where the joy is. [38:10] If you if you want to keep your life, [38:12] Jesus said, [38:15] you're going to lose it anyway. [38:19] But if you'd lose it, [38:21] in other words, if you'd live like this, [38:23] it's all yours. [38:25] You actually end up keeping it. [38:29] Doesn't make sense. It's God math. [38:35] Cuz there really isn't control. [38:40] So the moment I yield whatever [38:44] lie of control I've believed. [38:48] There it is. [38:55] So Lord, today we choose [38:57] to go [39:00] without knowing [39:03] cuz whatever you're leading us into [39:06] is better [39:10] than where we've been. [39:14] If you just need to give something to [39:15] God, why don't you just lift up your [39:17] hands and give it to him right now? [39:21] Why don't you just stand and give it to [39:24] the Lord? Come on. [39:28] Oh, come to the altar. [39:32] Oh, come to [39:35] the altar. [39:38] The Father's arms are open. [39:43] Just reach out to heaven right now. Come [39:45] on. [39:46] was bought with [39:49] the preious. [39:53] >> Oh, come to the altar. [39:58] >> Let's have an exchange right here. [40:03] >> Let's have an exchange right here with [40:05] heaven. [40:07] >> Give him your burdens. [40:11] >> Give him your fears. [40:14] >> Oh, come. Oh come [40:18] to [40:19] the [40:22] >> give him your care. [40:24] >> Give us that [40:25] >> addiction [40:28] for that worry. [40:34] One more time. Oh come [40:38] >> come to the altar. [40:40] >> Come to [40:42] the altar. [40:44] The father's arms [40:47] are sorrow. [40:57] >> Oh, what a savior. What a savior. [41:10] Sing hallelujah. [41:13] >> Sing hallelujah. [41:18] >> And today we bow down before bow down [41:22] before. [41:25] >> Lord of all, Lord of all. [41:31] Come on, sing. [41:32] >> Hallelujah. [41:33] >> Hallelujah. [41:36] >> Christ is rising [41:39] again. [41:42] >> Oh, what a [41:47] >> wonderful [41:49] heal. [41:57] Christ is ris [42:03] bow down bow down [42:09] for he is [42:15] hallelujah [42:19] Christ is ris [42:28] Come to [42:31] the altar. [42:33] >> Father's arms are open. [42:34] >> Father's arms are open wide. Forgiveness [42:41] was brought away. [42:44] The preious blood of Jesus. [42:50] So today, Father, whatever we're [42:52] carrying, [42:56] whatever semblance of control we're [42:58] trying to keep, [43:01] whatever, [43:03] whatever. But God, I love it. Whatever [43:05] that is, we just [43:08] we just open our hands and [43:12] we want to stay right here surrendered. [43:16] I've been following Jesus for 27 years. [43:21] But I never want to lose [43:24] I never want to lose this. I just never [43:26] want to lose God. It's all yours. [43:29] I never want to lose that. [43:35] Tell me what to do, Lord. [43:37] I'll do it. [43:41] Cuz there's a joy in obedience that I [43:44] can't find anywhere else. [43:50] Just stay with me right here. There's [43:51] people [43:54] that today you need to give Jesus [43:56] your life. [43:59] You need to surrender your life to the [44:01] Lord. [44:03] You need to become a Christian. Jesus [44:04] called it being born again. Not just [44:06] being a better version of who you were, [44:10] but [44:12] having a brand new creation. [44:18] Jamon, I don't know if I'm ready. You [44:21] probably aren't. [44:25] When I was 15 years old, I gave Jesus my [44:28] yes in my life. And I had no idea really [44:33] what I was saying yes to. [44:36] I just knew who I was saying yes to. [44:42] I didn't know I'd be a preacher. I [44:43] didn't know I'd be in Vegas. I didn't [44:46] know I'd be here today. I didn't know [44:47] any of that. I didn't know the valleys [44:49] that I'd walk through. I didn't know. [44:52] But I knew who. [44:54] And I've never regretted that. Yes. 27 [44:57] years later, [44:59] would you say yes to Jesus? [45:03] Just at every location in a place of [45:05] prayer, [45:07] just bow your head, close your eyes for [45:09] a moment. to our Epham just settle your [45:12] heart for a moment if that's you and you [45:14] would say I need to give my life to [45:15] Jesus. [45:17] Jab and pray with me. I want to give my [45:19] life to Christ or at one time I did and [45:22] at one time I was walking with God but I [45:25] I've kind of lost my way [45:28] today. I need to come home. If that's [45:29] you, pray with me. [45:33] Say yes to Jesus all over this place. [45:35] We're going to all pray together [45:38] from your heart. Say this and God will [45:41] meet you right where you're at. I'm [45:42] going to ask everybody at every location [45:43] to pray with our friends who are saying [45:45] yes to Jesus right now. Everyone say, [45:46] "Jesus, [45:48] I believe in you. I believe you died for [45:51] me. [45:53] I believe you rose again. [45:56] And today I give you my life. [45:58] And I receive your life. [46:01] I give you my sin. I give you my receive [46:04] your righteousness. [46:08] Jesus be Lord and Savior of my life. [46:15] Now just please keep your eyes closed [46:16] one more moment if that was your prayer [46:18] all over this room and at every room [46:22] from the popup that's happening right [46:24] now to every location [46:27] to everyone online to right here in [46:28] Valentine. If you're saying yes to Jesus [46:31] I'm going to count to three. On three [46:33] I'm going to ask you to raise your hand. [46:35] Jam, do I have to raise my hand? I think [46:37] it's important. I think it's important [46:39] to make that public declaration that [46:41] says, "Hey, that was that was for me, [46:43] preacher. [46:45] I want to become a follower of Jesus. [46:46] Today's my day. That was my prayer. You [46:50] you stopped the entire service just for [46:52] me. I'm giving my life to Christ for the [46:54] very first time." Or you're coming back. [46:56] You're coming coming back to Jesus. [47:00] On three, I'm going to ask you to raise [47:01] your hand. [47:03] And I believe God's going to meet you. [47:05] It's going to feel like a million pounds [47:07] is lifted off your shoulders and you're [47:10] just going to know that you know that [47:11] you're a child of God. Say yes to Jesus [47:13] today. You'll never regret it. [47:18] You may not be ready, but if you're [47:20] willing, [47:22] God will meet you in this moment. Yes to [47:25] Jesus. Coming back to Jesus. Returning [47:27] to Jesus. Whoever you are, come on. On [47:29] the count of three. 1 2 and three. That [47:31] was my prayer. or lift up your hand. God [47:33] bless you. God bless you. God bless you. [47:35] >> Hey, thank you for watching the [47:37] Elevation Church YouTube. I want you to [47:39] subscribe.
