Victory Through the Blood and the Cross: Receive Your Deliverance

I want to speak today about the encounter I want to speak today about the encounter especially what does it mean to encounter the Lord and what does it mean to encounter the cross and that's not the message I had but the worship went in such a beautiful Direction and my heart started to really melt especially as we started to sing about the cross and the blood that um I started to recognize that sometimes we as Christians struggle loving Jesus more because we focus so much on loving Jesus I'm going to say that again our struggle

to love Jesus comes from the fact we focus too much on loving Jesus if you take the example of Peter and John you will see how Gospel of John has this reference where John talks to himself about himself and he says a disciple Jesus loved and then you track John's following Jesus and where Peter would deny Jesus publicly though the Bible says all of them forsook Jesus you see John staying close to Jesus you see John standing at the cross of Jesus and then Jesus entrusting John with his mother one of the most precious things

Jesus had on this Earth was his family and he tells John could you take this mother and make him make her your mother you see Jesus visiting John in the Book of Revelation and showing him the future this John is the one that laid on the bosom of Jesus and when John chooses to identify himself in the gospel he doesn't say a disciple that loved Jesus he says a disciple Jesus loved Peter on the other hand every time you see a reference of Peter he always wanted to prove others he loved Jesus more he always

wanted to sit at the right hand he he he would beat his chest and said everyone will deny you Lord of course except me I'm the most faithful and loyal disciple and this is the guy that denied Jesus three times cursed cursed and then just found himself in constant trouble and I think the first step to backsliding is not always committing sin it's shifting our Focus from his love for us to our love for him and that's where the first because what begins to happen you are not the source of your love for God you

you and I are like a moon we only reflect what we receive if we don't receive we can't reflect if we don't receive we can't release that love and so what the enemy does is he messes with our Focus where we begin to think that if I focus on my love for Jesus more and I try to love Jesus more I'm going to love Jesus more but in reality you'll get more disappointed with yourself you'll make more mistakes and you will feel like a total failure that you are yes but when you take your eyes

off of you and you begin to fix your eyes on him on the cross on his love for you your love for him will grow your passion for him will increase your Devotion to God will get strengthened see we must understand there could be no Pentecost if there is no cross there could be no Dove if there is no lamb Jesus says unless I am glorified he said the spirit wasn't given because Christ wasn't glorified what begins to happen in our lives is that with those who was who want more of God we must understand

is that Christ must be glorified he must be lifted up must be must become the most important thing in our life if you have your Bibles would you go with me today to a very known story that you have heard and probably if you served in the kids ministry have taught this can we take a moment and I know they will not hear us but if somebody can pass on the message and just congratulate and thank everybody working with kids right now well we're enjoying prolonged worship and this Ukrainian Pastor from Washington State probably is

going to preach a longer sermon than you are used to it's the kids over there that are receiving that care and Ministry so we want Tok thank every person that is serving there because it means a lot to the kingdom of God Amen first so we go to Luke chapter 19 and verse three and he sought to see who Jesus was but could not because of the crowd for he was of short stature you can keep that verse open there I'm going to continue verse later just a moment if you're taking notes I'm going to

share with you three points I'm I'm a three-point fivepoint 10-point guy today it's three points the first thing I want to highlight today is this is he was trying to see Jesus that's religion trying to see Jesus good desire right motive good passion but the Bible says he could not see Jesus because he was of short word stature he was a short man now I know something about short people they're born that way second thing I know about short people there's nothing they can do to change no pull-ups no stretches I don't care how many

bones they break okay maybe one inch two inch you can't really change your height Jesus says you can't even change your height by Waring it you can't you change your height by do doing pull-ups push-up doing stretches you cannot change the fact you are short so zaki's problem was the fact that he wanted to see Jesus and he could not see Jesus because he was short but we read something there it says because of the crowd see the problem with short people is because they cannot see Jesus the real reason is they're short but the

crowd gets the blame why everyone who is not short like them is responsible for why they cannot see what they want to see the Bible says we are we fell short of the glory of God you and I are like zakus you're born short your problem is not what you did who you are is far worse than what you did who you are is far worse than the worst thing you've ever done you and I are born short and no amount of jumping Jags can change that no amount of religious futile exercise can change the

fact our default setting is to sin our desire for God is there because we were created in His image you can disrespect God walk away from God but you will crave the Divine always because you were made in the image of a Divine God you will look for him in crystals you will look for him in shamans you will look for him in necromancy you will look for God in Buddhism and Hinduism you will even look for God in yourself through New Age to find a little Sparkle of universe inside of you but you will

look for God you'll try to make yourself a God because you're craving God but looking for God does not mean you find him why cuz too short short people can't see God but they can get glimpses of him by jumping the only chance zakiah had is cut the glimpse of Jesus and that's it and then the other thing he had is just to blame everyone close to Jesus for why he can't see Jesus that's what our world does the church always gets the blame for why they're not converted it's all the Hypocrites in church is

why I'm not a Christian well brother there's room for one more I just been to church and that's why I I don't want to be a Christian I know the crowd gets to blame for why you can't see Jesus but let's be honest you're short you fell short you were born short and you're always going to be short because of Adam it's the way we were born so I want to just start with that because I know many of you here today pretty sure most of you here today are Bible believing Christians and you come

to church but I do want to refresh your memory and where we started as Christians religion is men's attempt to get a glimpse of God by jumping up and down on the religious treadmill of performance and some of us still act like that even though we're no longer zakus the short man is we think it's about me seeing God and the Bible say says he tried to see Jesus but could not because he was short and of course in the verse the crowd got all the blame but in reality he was short if you are

here today and maybe you were invited by a friend perhaps you are here today and you are a Christian by association you've always went to church my question to you today your encounter with Jesus is what's going to change your life but you first must understand is that your encounter with the church is not the same as the encounter with Jesus zakus rubbing shoulders with the crowd that was close to Jesus is not the same thing as seeing Jesus I've traveled some time in my life and I can tell you I have missed my flights

being in the airport I most of the major airports in the United States I have traumatic experiences in them because I would be sipping on my coffee eating my overpriced cheap junk food in that airport and thinking I had a lot of time and feeling comfortable because my bags were already checked in and because I mean I'm already in the airport what could go wrong and next thing I know it happened one time in Denver I was on my way to to Europe a flight was to Frankfurt and we were eating there and then I

just just rested relaxed had a good time and as I am heading to my gate and it's like that Left Behind movie the gate closed and the plane is just departing slowly I could see the plane the plane I paid for a ticket it's my pilot that's sitting on I could see him and I'm waving like a left behind person who missed Rapture come back push the brakes just I just you know I mean I mean just come on how could you and then those doors they're supposed to let people in had nobody else now

they was they were so busy just 30 minutes ago and now they're so closed and this lady that scans your your ticket is nowhere to be found and I remember hitting on those doors and realizing I missed the plane even though I was in the airport the church is the airport Christ is the plane it's possible to miss the plane being in the church you can be in church but the gospel doesn't say God put us in church it says he put us first in Christ going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more

than going to McDonald's will not make you a cheeseburger you must encounter Jesus you may say Vlad but I'm trying to my goal and message today isn't going to be try harder it's going to be totally different you're going to have to stop trying completely to encounter Jesus the answer might shock you but I need to take just one more moment to spend a little bit more time in here because some people still think if I could only exercise harder jump higher I will really achieve the encounter with God meaning I will be saved I

will have forgiveness of my sins and we have this idea even when I heard in an interview when uh Donald J Trump when they asked him about his religion and and he explained how he believes he will be in heaven because he is a good person and that idea exists today in many Christians you will see them saying things like well I am not a bad person and God will let me go to heaven this idea that just because you've done more good than bad that God will let you go to heaven I do want

to debunk that the reason why is this Jesus have died in vain if God lets people go to heaven because they've done good more than bad secondly logic works against that how many drops of poison does it require in your cup of water for the cup to be poisoned just one if you've done one sin you're a sinner if you didn't even do any sins you were born a sinner so that already disqualifies you may say but that's not fair that's true that it's not fair but that's the truth and this idea that I'm going

to go to heaven and God will take all of my good and compare it to bad and God will say look at you you've done so much good a little bit bad but you know I mean hey who I mean you are not perfect of course nobody's perfect and so I'm just going to let you in have you ever tried to apply that logic in your court when you got a speeding ticket you go to the judge you know there's Justice lady she has the scales and many people think the scales represent your good versus

your bad try to apply that logic to your judge and tell him this judge I've been driving 10 years every morning every evening to work from work 10 miles one way 10 miles back do the math and judge I just did the math and I'll tell you how many miles I'll been driving and then one time judge I got caught and I have a ticket so 10 years of driving good driving and then what 10 minutes of speeding judge come on the common sense says you should let me off the hook the judge will look

at you and ask you are you taking mushrooms or what drugs are you taking because that is not how justice system works it is your good driving bad driving versus Justice you're not judged in the courtroom for your good driving you are judged for one bad one when we go to heaven the Bible says that we will stand Before the Throne of God and God will judge just for our sins and it takes one wrong sin and we are toast which means who can be saved nobody that's why Islam doesn't make sense to me when

I hear the Muslim people say that they will go to paradise I said on what basis according to your Quran your God is just if he is just he will punish sin where will you find forgiveness in God who punishes sin they're like well he forgives sin if he forgive sin he's not just if he's not just he's not God what do you mean but our God is just and he forgives sin only because someone paid for it if a judge dismisses a case based on his good mood in the morning and because you cried

at tears in a court system that judge is corrupt yes forgiveness and Justice don't go together the only time you want a corrupt just judge is if you are a criminal but if you have been sinned against you do not want a judge that's soft on crime you don't want judge That Forgives criminals you want judge that punishes crime our God is not a corrupt judge you cannot move him with your tears you cannot move him with your sobs story our God is a just God and he will punish every single sin but the love

of God said that I will punish the sin and The Sinner but God provided his son who came 2,000 years ago and absorbed all of the penalty of sin so God can be forgiving without being unjust the cross is foolishness to the world but it is the wisdom of God I don't understand a religion that have a Creator God who's just they don't have hope that they can be forgiven nor should they have any hope but see that's what happens when you come up with a religion you don't think of these things amen I heard

a story that really helped me to explain the gospel and this was a story of a of a tribe leader who had a tribe and he decided to bring some order and Justice into that tribe and righteousness so he created rules in that tribe you know Simple Rules don't go into somebody else's tent don't uh hurt somebody don't lie and then there was consequences for breaking those rules and the consequences if you break one of those rules you will receive 100 lashes on your bare back pretty severe pretty much keeps you in line pretty straight

and so three days went everybody was under B's best behavior sometime later they found out a little kid broke the rules lo and behold that kid that broke the rule was the tribe Leader's son and he was just a teenager so the village gathered together and they said well if he's going to execute this punishment on his son his son is not going to make you through 100 lashes his son is going to die if he will go soft on the crime and say well guys you know it's just my son is just a kid

then honestly the rules really don't apply to everybody so he was in a very difficult situation so the tribe leader gathered everybody and he says I want you to get ready we're going to beat my son they said what a monster dad you are I mean I get it you need to be a just judge of this tribe but you need to be a good dad and right before they started to beat his son he took a shirt off came covered the back of his son and said now begin in this way he uphold the

law upheld the law and protected his son the cross is where God remained just and paid for your sin by expressing his love that's why we must understand in ourselves in our righteousness in our goodness in every religion is really man's attempt to go do this trying to see God you don't get credit for trying have you ever tried to swim let's say you go from Washington swim to Hawaii how many of you know you don't get credit for trying you will drown you don't get credit for trying you just drown for trying so trying

doesn't matter those of you who walk around the world I try to see God I am sorry but that doesn't matter so what is the Hope well I'm glad you asked let's go to the next verse the verse four so he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him for he was going to pass that way let's go to verse five and when Jesus came to that place he looked up and saw him and said to him zakus make haste and come down for today I must stay in your house the

second thing I want you to write down is trust the tree and he will see me zakus runs up and climbs on the tree and I want you to notice something the Bible doesn't say and zakiah saw Jesus it's says and Jesus saw zakus religion is trying to see Jesus by jumping because we're born short Christian faith the gospel why we've gathered here today is God provided a tree he provided his son who died on the calvary that any short person who wants to have a Rel relationship with the holy God can embrace the tree

in other words climb on the tree in other words believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and there is God going to have a relationship with them and there is where God is going to see them and there is where God is going to call them by their name zakus means clean or pure and God is going to call you by a new name zakus was not pure he was not clean but see when you get on a tree your name changes your identity changes and relationship with Jesus to you changes that's what we called Amazing

Grace that's what the power of the Cross is that's where the power of the blood is can somebody say Amen but I want you to understand this if you're taking notes write this down Jesus's death on the cross was both substitutional and inclusive I want to highlight two aspects of the Cross or two aspects of Jesus's blood which is very important the blood was a substitutional he died for me the cross was inclusive I died with him let's try this say the blood was for me the cross I was in him the Bible doesn't say

that that I was included in the blood the Bible says that I was crucified with Christ so the shedding of the blood I wasn't included because it was for me but it was in the cross that I was included in him now stay with me for just a moment why was it that why was it the blood and the cross because we have two problems one problem is we have what we call sins things we do say think our attitude the second problem that we have which creates the first problem and that is sin the

Bible calls of the old man the principle thing that lives inside of you you get it through your birth and it comes out through your death it's sin so think of this spider and spider web spider web is created by a spider when you clean the spider web and you don't take care of the spider you will get more spider web so you have this thing in you when you were born called sin spider and this thing starts making Spider Web called sins so God what he did is he provided the blood of Jesus to

clean the spider web but the cross was to take the spider and nail that sucker on the cross why because God knew if he only provides the blood you will be coming back again and again and again and again and so the blood cleanses my sins the blood clears my record with God the blood also cleanses my conscience and the blood is a weapon against the devil that means I can tell the devil get behind me Satan when he brings condemnation and guilt because they overcame him by the power of the blood there's power in

the blood the blood clears your record with God when God was counting your sins the blood came in and hit clear button zero as though you've never sinned the blood sprinkles our Consciousness because sometimes God forgives you of sin but you're still living feeling guilty feeling ashamed and the blood comes on your conscience it says listen you don't have to live in guilt anymore God forgave you you can be forgiven in your mind and live without shame somebody thank God for the [Applause] blood you finally found peace with God you found peace within yourself and

then that poor old Devil comes back and starts reminding you everything God forgiven you and God says I have enough blood even against him that means when the Devil Comes Back and You're not your your your conscience is no longer judging you but the devil is you hear his voices look what you did look what how you messed up and the devil judges you all you got to do is the devil come closer while you're reminding me about my past let me just first remind you about your future cuz when you sinned God didn't move

a finger he threw you out when I sinned he sent his son to die for me so he loves me way more than he loves you you're going to burn in hell forever but while while we are on this topic I do want to remind you there was a blood that was spilled God the record God kept against me is completely cleared God has cleansed my own conscience so devil get behind me shut up and move on go to my neighbor I mean don't send him to your neighbor but you get the point unless you

really don't like your neighbor and you can conquer the enemy through the blood that's the blood somebody said the blood what the blood did not do the blood didn't touch the spider let me say it again the blood took care of the spider web the blood took care of the sins the blood did not touch your sin nature why sin nature came through birth it only leaves through death stay with me what many Christians don't understand and why many of us I myself included for a long time time I looked forward to my death to

be totally free from sin CU I know when I'm no longer going to struggle with that sin at my funeral so I'm grateful for the blood I've been washed by the blood I can conquer the devil through the blood but the problem is the making of a spider web mechanism still is active inside of me but I could not wait until one day I will finally die and I will no longer have this thing that keeps making Spider Web but see the Bible teaches us that we don't have to look forward to our death to

be free from a spider the Bible tells us that on the cross two things happened God took care of the web and he also nailed the spider that means I can look back to his death where I died with him the Bible says I was crucified with Christ Romans chapter 6 goes into detail he says how can you keep on practicing sin because of Grace he says don't you know you were you died with him you were buried with him and you rose from the dead Paul is not talking about the sins he is talking

about the spider which means that as Christian you can either look forward to your funeral or you can look back to his cross you may sayl that is good preaching but that's not how real it's in my life in my life I cleared the spiderweb and then I keep making more more web the problem why is because I believe most of us have heard a lot about the blood but many of us have not heard about the cross what you hear is what you have faith for when you hear the blood cleanses you of your

sin you have faith for that when you hear a teaching on healing you get Faith for healing and what many of us do is we don't preach enough about the fact that the cross took our old man and nailed that on the cross which means the same way I received forgiveness for my sins by looking to the Cross because I heard the good news I can receive deliverance from my sin by the cross now some of us think if I get deliverance from demons the spider is going to be gone see deliverance from demons only

removes demons it doesn't remove sin discipline subdues the flesh but it does not kill the spider the old man discipline and deliverance will not work if it would the cross was unnecessary the old man came by birth it only leaves by death you either can wait for your funeral or you can believe the gospel look back to the death of Jesus Christ which was inclusive and substitutionary meaning it was for me and I was in him and you can believe the gospel and experience deliverance from sin today why does water baptism happen the way it

happens it's so that we can publicly declare I died buried and rose again so we publicly declare that but some people don't believe that because we still hope for our funeral to be totally free from a spider when publicly we've declared to the world I died buried and rose but secretly we say well the real time when I could be delivered from sin is going to be when I actually die physically no no no no no no no make up your mind the Bible is the word of God Jesus died for you and you died

in him on the cross the power of the Cross is where the Salvation from that old man exists and you can be delivered today today you can experience forgiveness of your sins today and you don't have to wait to your funeral so you can be free from sin you can be free from sin because you know that he died and you died with him you reckon yourself as dead and the Bible says offer your members as instruments to God and walk in the Holy Ghost can somebody say Amen so religion is me trying to see

God but I'm too short I blame the crowd because well the reason why I don't see God is because they're there the gospel is God saying I'm holy and just God if I judge you which I will you're not going to make it but I'm going to provide Jesus whose death is going to take care of your sins clear the web and is going to nail the spider crucify the sin crucify that that sin nature all you got to do is what zakus did you got to climb on that tree you got to trust in

Jesus the Bible says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him not jumps up and higher I trust in Jesus I believe in the cross I look forward to my freom more and more because I Look Backwards to what he did on the cross for me is everybody still with me are you ready for the final thing which I believe is where the rubber meets the road so first is meet me trying God to see God me trying to see God that's religion secondly is me

trusting in the gospel because the blood cleanses me but the Blood also crucifies the old man and I can trust the gospel for those of you who have a hard time wrapping this around your head I would really encourage you to read Watchmen n's book called the normal Christian Life where he kind of breaks that down more and more you can deliverance from demons does not deliver you from sin deliverance from demons only does one thing delivers you from demons the cross delivers you from sin the blood forgives your sins the cross takes the sin

nature and Nails in on the cross so you don't have to just keep coming back and coming back and coming back but so you can walk forward in God does that mean you'll never commit sins does not mean you'll never get contaminated that's not what the Bible teaches but you no longer have to live with a spider making Spider Web you don't have to always live with oh I'm just a sinner saved by grace you can live like that but you can also live like I'm a son that is Redeemed by Grace I am forgiven

and I am freed if you believe your sinner saved by grace you're keeping the spider alive you're still living living that out if you don't know this and if you read Romans chapter 6 you see Paul keeps saying no knowing this don't you know like think three times he says knowing knowing and when I was reading this I got this Revelation I didn't know I did not know I knew about the blood I knew I recited the verses I was crucified but honestly I did not know on the level that it became a revelation I

don't have to watch porn I don't have to live with this negative thinking I don't have to smoke I don't have to be an alcoholic I don't have to battle with sin nature now do I still have to crucify The Works of the flesh yes the Bible says deny yourself and everything but Jesus crucified that sin it came by birth it only exits by death it could either be my death or it his death I choose his death knowing this knowing this the Bible says there's a story of this um Japanese soldier during World War

II he went to fight in the Philippines his Commander sent him he went to do some Guerilla tactic Warfare he did not know that the war ended he kept fighting in fact he kept killing he kept robbing if I'm not mistaken over 29 or 27 years he kept fighting after war was over in fact they knew he was there in some of those forests they tried to drop pamphlets that the war is over he saw that as a propaganda until one day a student in Japan was studying about the war and came upon this story

that we lost and we never found this particular three guys three soldiers in Philippines and somebody starts saying that guy is still there fighting a war that ended and this student made it his life's goal to find this guy who's fighting a war that ended he eventually did find him and the guy said that's a lie I don't believe it that's a propaganda already the enemy is using our own people Japanese people to convince Japanese soldiers he says I won't believe it until you bring me the general that sent me to this area the student

is like your general is a librarian now he's not in military anymore he says I will not leave until you find me the guy that sent me here they had to fly the librarian to the Philippines jungles to come this is 30 years later and look at the guy in the face and say bro have you heard of the bomb uhuh have you heard of how everything uhuh and the the general had to convince him you need to get out and finish and finally he came and left the battlefield I'm here to remind you your

old man was crucified you don't have to fight the battle that Jesus already won you got to know the truth first you may say what do I do know the truth readit about the truth until it clicks theide of his Spirit you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free the truth is Jesus the truth is what he did on the cross his blood was shed for your sins but the cross was for your sin on the cross Jesus Christ took care of the spider web and the spider simultaneously and because you've

heard about the blood you've been walking in free forgiveness of sins but today I'm letting you know there was more to the Cross than just the blood it was also the power to squash the spider you can live in Freedom you can live in forgiveness you can live without guilt and condemnation you can encounter the power of God if you come to the Cross come on somebody that's why when zakus climbed on the tree Jesus saw zakus but not only that Jesus called zakus within new name see when you are on the cross not only

you have this relationship with God because God removes the sin through the blood but you actually have a new identity you have a new nature you have a new you're a new being you might not feel that but you are new because God's word says and how do I know that because the facts of history back it up Jesus died on a cross come on somebody hallelujah hallelujah man this will make a Baptist shout and I love Baptist by the way praise be to God lastly and it's a verse we read already and it's a

verse that went like this zakus a new name I mean the same name but it's has a new meaning make haste and come down for today I must stay in your house the last thing is this you're transformed by hosting the Holy Ghost so you may say well Vlad that that's incredible this is where the real transformation happens is that Jesus meets zakus at the tree and he tells him this he says come down and we're going to your house and not tomorrow when you finally take down the Playboy magazine uh uh posters not tomorrow

when you finally evict a girlfriend that you should have not been living with he says actually right now there might be your bad your your your your uh underwear laying around everywhere there might be old food that's there it might be just like any my your house might smell and you don't have a way to pay or text somebody to say clean it up Jesus is coming prepare take away the beer from the fridge Jesus doesn't like those things you know just just remove that got the drugs over there in that drawer just remove them

hide them flash them down the toilet literally zakas has no time to text one of his homies or cronies one of his neighbors to say get the house ready hey Zeus is on the way imagine real transformation in zaki's life didn't just happen because Jesus saw him didn't just happen because Jesus called him by name it happened when Jesus came to zaki's house don't leave Jesus where you met him some of us meet him at the altar and leave him at the altar transformation does not happen when you just know the truth but you don't

get to know the truth you know in fact Luke chapter 19 if you read the Bible and some theologians will tell you that Luke chapter 18 ends with the rich ruler whom Jesus says give up all your possessions and follow me and he turned away from Jesus Luke 19 ends with a rich sinner that Jesus never told to give and he gave half of his income and two the gospel compares what happens when you are trying to jump to see God and prove to God you can be a good person versus when you recognize you're

a sinner you cllean to the Cross you cllean to the God's way of meeting him which is Jesus and you bring you allow Jesus to come into your life his presence begins to change the very fabric of your being because if God starts converting your wallet you converted some of us still have a hard time tithing zakus right the way bumped it not to the Mormon size which is 20% discipleship side which is 50% that my friend is real conversion Jesus looked at him and probably looked at his disciples like you guys didn't even do

that and he looked at zakas he says now salvation has come into your house come on somebody Hallelujah can I have those two empty cups can I have those two empty cups please I want to just demonstrate to you a few things awesome may I borrow you as well oh am I speaking to the water Hallelujah okay this is just water hold this for a second okay so I'm gonna give you this cup all right hold it very closely can I borrow another young man you yeah yeah you're a young man to me huh no

no no no no all right come on jump up jump up all right okay look at these people this is what we're going to do we're going to raise you're going to have to go touch that door and you're going to have to go touch that door whoever can do it faster you can't spill water though one two three go and come back you can't spill water keep going keep going but don't don't spill watch watch over the water be careful no no no no don't drink freaky all right uhhuh I want you to notice

two things one of them this guy was totally goofing around totally messing around having fun looked at all of you why his cup was empty he on the other hand at first he tried to run as fast as him and then realized what he carried slow down and try to focus on the water in the cup not on you not on the door when you're filled you live different when you're filled you speak different when you're filled you're attitude is different religion tells a guy with an empty cup run slow the gospel comes and fills

you and says keep me walk with me focus on me you automatically start to adjust your behavior your life why because of who you carry not because you're just trying to keep the rules the rules are there but because you're trying to maintain a relationship you're hosting a person you're trying to be a good host and after that you begin conviction begins to come into your life I can't be running that fast like this guy is doing I got to slow it down I got to drink this water it's all about the water for him

it's all about the Run see when you encounter the cross the old man is dead your sins are forgiven but where the real transformation of your behavior begins to manifest is when you are filled with the Holy Ghost when you have an encounter with God when you take Jesus from the altar into your room and you live with him you walk with him you are sensitive to him and your life begins to change your speech begins to change how you treat your money begins to change why because it's no longer about you it's about what

you carrying it's who you're carrying is you are hosting the Holy Ghost you are hosting the presence of Jesus and you go from having an encounter to having an encounters come on somebody Hallelujah you may finish this water you can drink it on your own yeah all of it yeah at your own pace yeah yeah enjoy it whoever drinks of this cup shall never thirst again I mean I'm just kidding uh huh yeah no it's fine we we we can I will avoid that spot amen are you with me religion will tell you change your

behavior the gospel will tell you about the cross where your sins are forgiven about the cross where your sin is nailed and then Jesus will say make haste I'm coming to your house meaning host me many of us have accepted Jesus as our savior but we have not took him as our life Paul says I've been crucified it is no longer I but Christ who lives in me what happens when you constantly have encounters with God small encounters large Encounters in the car in the shower while reading the scriptures and I'm not talking about only

when you have a devotional time you know religion is when a fisherman thinks about fish in the church but Christianity is when a fisherman thinks about God on the lake God wants you to live with him move with him and have a a a being if I can have my my second illustration sorry guys this came during worship today so um but I do believe that the Lord is going to communicate something come on somebody Hallelujah all right now do you have anything smaller a smaller cup than this could you give me the other one

that he was just running with but this won't be visible so go ahead we we can use this one no but this won't be visible I want it to be a visible one you have a smaller one way way smaller I got to run oh okay okay quickly run I'm in the run run I'm in the Run okay while we're doing that he's just going to wipe that out I'm just going to show you a visual and I think this will help and and for those of you who maybe are offended by my child childlike

illustrations um it's for your children come on somebody amen she's going to bring one right now let's open this poisonous drink right now uh go ahead you can open that but the and for those of you who love to drink this stuff remember the Bible does said if you drink anything poisonous it will not hurt you so I don't think you can claim that verse go ahead put it Pour it in but just in case you do okay right perfect so so think of your life and all the stuff that you still have things that

you're struggling and battling let's say you experienc the deliverance from sin you've believed what the gospel teaches what happens when you have encounters with God what happens when you encounter him in the word what happens when you take Jesus home what happens when you cultivate that I'm going to show you what what's going to happen go ahead open up the water and begin to start pouring into that water keep pouring first nothing happens keep keep going keep going nothing happens keep going keep going keep going nothing happens but you see how the colar starts to

change look at how the color is changing first year of reading the word second o second year of coming to church third year of coming to church you begin to be transformed by the renewing of your mind as you know the truth the truth begins to set you free there's no more cook but keep going why because we're not going to just seek the Lord to just remove the bad stuff keep on being filled keep on being filled keep on being filled keep on overflowing keep on overflowing keep on being filled keep on being filled

until every ounce of the world is being washed away because God not only took from you from the world he's taking the world from you how through the process of pouring in the purity of his Spirit pouring in the precious word and see what some of us do is we receive the Revelation but we go home and at the first did you see that at first when he started to pour in nothing changed nothing changed and we get discouraged and we say well but I still feel angry T Tendencies but I still feel a little

bit jealous but I still feel those things what I want to tell you today is keep on hosting Jesus Keep On filling yourself with God's word keep on having encounters with God keep on turning on worship music why because as you begin to overflow with the presence of God in his presence there is fullness of joy anxiety will begin to be removed fear will begin to be removed those strongholds will begin to crumble one by one as you will begin to be filled with the Holy Spirit and presence what will begin to happen is you

will no longer have those negative thoughts why because the word of God has a life inside it will push the darkness away the Bible says the perfect love drives out fear as perfect love pours in fear begins to go as perfect love goes in anxiety begins to go as perfect love goes in your fear and tendencies and all the sinful other things begins to go see zakus didn't really changed when he encountered him at the cross in the sense he didn't give the money away he didn't return the money that he stole from people and

dup people but it's hosting Jesus it's the purity of Jesus begins to come in and some of us feel like man I can't let the purity of God inside of my life because I'm so impure that's the only way you become pure is when the purity pushes out the ugliness when the Holiness of God pushes out the filth when the Jesus's love begins to push out every single fear host the Holy Spirit have those encounters with God what is Christian Life it's recognizing I'm too short to see God I can get glimpses because I jump

but that's not what the gospel is the gospel is that my sins can be forgiven through the blood the guilt that I carried for what I did that I cannot forgive myself that could be removed through the blood and when the Devil comes back and tries to remind me of what God has forgiven me I can silence him through the blood and I not only forgiven but I'm also freed from the old man I got that thing with my mother's milk and I can remove that thing today because Jesus on the cross took the spider

if I know the truth if I keep studying the truth I can begin to see the manifestation of the truth but how do I really see change in my life is God didn't just give me the cross and Jesus who died for me he said wait because not many days from now you will be filled with the Holy Ghost and you will receive power and you shall be my Witnesses God poured his Spirit out into my life and he wants to keep on pouring his Spirit into my life through his word through worship through fasting

through going to church through serving in church God wants to keep pouring pouring in the The Grace Of Heaven and push all of the hellish adamic nature out all the residue of my past out so I can conform to the image and likeness of Jesus not in one day but in the process not in one encounter but in the multitude of encounters not in one time I'm worshiping God but in living a life of worship and then 5 years six 10 years down the road I look at myself and I say I'm not recognizable I

used to be Coke now I'm H2 I was so chronically insecure when I was born there was an optical nerve that was damaged in my in my head first few years I was chronically physically sick I spent in the hospital most of my two years being a baby one time they said I died but my pastor and other people try did CPR and a lot of prayer and I don't know if it was prayer or CPR or or both of those things and I came back to life eventually when I went to school I was

bullied I was made fun of my name in school had to do with one of my eyes not looking right when we moved to the United States I didn't know English it was a culture shock I didn't have any friends I went to a school that was predominantly white that we didn't have a lot of immigrants and I couldn't fit in I started having FS I couldn't couldn't fit into anything it was so difficult to be in that environment my pastor just started the church which is a which was a religious shock because I came

from an ultraconservative Pentecostal church and here is my pastor doing clapping the church I came from we couldn't ra we didn't raise our hands and if you wore uh pants as a woman it was sin and no drums and other stuff it was a Godly good church but it was just not not the church that my pastor had here so I'm having a culture shock I'm having a religious shock and I'm having every type of shock I was so chronically insecure and scared of people I was so ashamed of myself I looked in the mirror

and I would see an ugly face and sometimes I will say that you're so ugly and people confirmed that every single time because they would meet with me and when you would meet with me 20 something years ago the people people ask me this question all the time what happened happened to your eyes which reminded me all they saw is deformity and on top of that for some weird reason I developed extreme migraine headaches in Tri Cities where I live during summer so I'm 13 years of age I'm chronically insecure scared of people I knew

that suicide was a bad option I I was raised in a Christian home but so I asked I started to ask God to create an accident where I could die someone un subconscious level I was convinced the world will be a better place with me not in it and I knew about God I went to church all my life but I wasn't changed in my freshman high school every day after school I would lock myself in the room and I didn't seek God because I wanted God I sought God because it hurt too much to

be alive I will blast music and I would just cry out to him I didn't fit in school I didn't have friends this new church my uncle started had 20 people there was one place where as a young person you can find your calling it was on the worship team so I joined the worship team and they kicked me out the last place I thought will ever reject me was God God's house and that place rejected me everyone hates me nobody wants me I'm an accident I had two eye surgeries one in Ukraine one in

the United States to fix this my parents saw I struggled they wanted to help me but my problem was not with my eyes my problem is I had too much coke inside had too much and the reason why I felt what I felt I blamed it on my eyes I blame it on God blame it on other people it's all of you people that don't accept me it's all of you people that constantly ask me the wrong questions nobody wants to be my friend nobody wants to accept me I always blame the world blame God

why did he allow me to be born like this why was it Hitler not born with crooked eyes he would never be Hitler like that you know what started to happen in those 30 35 minutes Monday through Friday after school God heard my complaints because that's how I started my prayer I didn't pray with worshiping God I prayed with complaining first and complaining is totally acceptable God can handle it read psalms I wept I cried I didn't charge god with wrong but I was hurting and when I would be done this flood of God's presence

would come I don't know how it would come I don't know if it had to do with me complaining I actually thought it was complaining that helped God to come so then when I no longer felt pain I kept complaining because I felt like it was an open door to his presence until one day said the Lord says Hey Thanksgiving is the gateway to my presence not complaining I said oh but I feel like you come faster when I complain the love of God started to fill this little insecure immigrant boy God didn't fix my

circumstances God didn't make the world love me and accept me nor did God change my English but what he did he started to fill this small little heart not with vision of what I'm going to do but with who he was and at first nothing was changing I still felt insecure I still looked in the mirror and I was disgusted with myself I still tried to speak and make new friends and I would make a mess and I would be I was so socially awkward I was so scared and to stand in front of group

of people in fact when I was in my freshman High School I found out in my schedule that the end of that week we're going to have to do a presentation in front of a class for about one minute when I found that out I had such an attack panic attack that I skipped that whole day forged my parents signature that I was sick and spend that whole day in the bus station I was chronically scared of talking to people the person you see today is not the person that existed 20 years ago and I

didn't change because I took a self-help course I didn't change because I had a some kind of a mentor though we need those things what changed is this is a daily encounter with the presence of God what changed it was just a pouring of the pure love of God where God just pours it in and stuff just comes out it does not happen right away but stuff just comes out you s right in front of your eyes and there was no more ounce of coke in that cup because when you pour it enough you change

within about two years I started to noticed my headaches were gone God supernaturally healed me of my headaches the very school that I was skipping you know what started to happen is I became an a student I became bold about my faith not trying to be bold about my faith for some reason I actually became a worship leader of the very worship team that kicked me out I didn't sing though I spoke in tongues all the time cuz my tongues are better than my my my my my singing in fact one uh precious old lady

came to me one time after her service she says young man do you have a CD with your music I was like you must be deaf because I was like there's no way you want to hear me sing it's like something is wrong with your hearing aids cuz I was like I didn't even sing I just yelled in tongues the whole time she's like God just still sound so Heavenly I like oh you melt my heart I became the youth pastor at 16 the today I do the very thing I dreaded to do in front

of 20 people if I will tell you one secret and I will tell you this the presence of God changes you the encounter with God but it's not one one encounter with God is just the initiation it's an invitation you saw if I would have just poured in just enough into this a little bit nothing would really change and many of us we leave that pouring of the an anointing of the grace of God on a regular basis too early we start with I want to see God my desire isn't enough because I'm Bor born

short the goodness will not save you your goodness can keep you out of your local County jail but it cannot keep you from hell you need to be saved you need to be forgiven of your sin how does that happen there was a cross on which a man died most controversial beloved as well and who split history his name is Jesus Christ he came out of a Virgin Mary he lived a sinless holy life even his critics like pilate and Herod and Judas all claimed this man has done nothing wrong this man lived a sinless

life and this man he took all of my sin upon himself the Bible says he became sin that I might become the righteousness of God and God thought that was not just enough so he let this man die on the cross because not only I commit sins I was born with a disease that wants to do those sins and God took that disease and nailed that thing on the cross so every person that believes in him doesn't have to live in sin but can live free from sin and forgiven by sin but God knew we

live in a sinful World God knew we will be tempted God knew the battle will not be over just because we received forgiveness and God In His Infinite love he gives his pours out his spirit and says I want to flush out everything the Adam brought into your human race I want to flash out everything that hell brought into your race I want to remove that by my spirit by my word I will give you my spirit to help you live a new life God will not remove his Spirit just because you're struggling because your

chances of ever overcoming that will be gone he gave you his Spirit drink from that every day let that pour in every single day because that's your hope of metamorphosis of change amen want you to rise to your feet we can invite the worship team as well before we minister in the area of people that need to be filled today I want to give an opportunity to anybody in this room who's been doing religious jumping jacks who trusted in your goodness your religion maybe you're here today and you're from a different religion maybe you are

here today you got invited and maybe you're in New Age perhaps Buddhism Hinduism or perhaps you're Catholic and you hide behind that as though that's a ticket to heaven or you hide behind the fact that your parents are Christian God doesn't have grandchildren he only has children or maybe you hide behind the fact that you have a church membership that's not what God's going to be looking for when you die and go to heaven I want to give you an opportunity to get right with God today maybe you're backslid you knew about the Lord everything

I preached there's nothing new for you but stuff you've done deception of the enemy decisions in College Church hurt drama you blamed it on other people you pointed fingers on other people and some of them are responsible for some of the reasons why you left but today the Lord is calling you back I'm not going to ask you to Bow your head and I'm not going to ask you to close your eyes but if you are that person you don't know Jesus Christ as your lord and as your savior you haven't for received the Forgiveness

of your sins you've trusted in some man-made religion that you're going to please God through your good works and today you've heard a clear demon clear gospel and you're like man this makes sense I need to get born again I need to get right with God or maybe you were in a category where you had a relationship with God but man you blew it the stuff you've done like a prodical son you end up with pigs you lost that intimacy that connection and you you're a wayward son somebody's praying for you somebody's interceding in fact

they brought you here hoping you have that encounter with God if you're in one of these two categories as they going to sing I'm going to ask you to quickly come out of your seat and come and stand right here because Jesus is waiting for you at the cross he wants to call you by name he wants to forgive you of your sin now some people will stare right now they will look remember you're not doing it for them you're doing it for him and he's calling you not them and the reason why I'm not

asking nobody to Bow their head is because the world will not be as nice and if the Lord is calling you today you say yes to him just come out of your seat right there and I would love to see you and pray with you today that today will be the day that you encounter the Lord today will be the day that you will encounter the cross because before we pray for the feeling we need to have people who first need to encounter God just make your way forward and we're going to pray I want

you stretch your hands like this those of you here in the front who came to give your life or to rededicate your life to just stretch your hands like you're receiving a gift right now say this out loud with me say Lord Jesus Christ Church help them out say Lord Jesus Christ I believe you are the Son of God who died on that tree for all of my sins all and on that cross you took my sin and you nailed it you were buried but you Rose again and today I approach you and I ask

you wash me with your blood make me clean make me righteous give me a new heart and deliver me from that spider from that Sin from demons from curses from hurt and Trauma I give you my life and the best I know how I want to live for you but I want to ask you live through me fill me with the Holy Spirit right now in Jesus name we for those of you who are from this local church I would encourage you that you that you come to church if you don't have a local church

that you find a local church you get water baptized if you haven't been water Baptist and you begin to grow in Jesus but for right now I want to invite also these people can stay here if you've been in that place right now where you noticing man I need that fresh encounter with God I've realized today that it's not about me it's about the holy spirit it's about the cross just quickly come out of your seat just come here as we're going to worship the presence of God is like a water like a flood will

begin to come only for those who are saying I'm hungry for that encounter I'm hungry for that flood of water the flood of Living Water to begin to come just right there this disrupt your little Comfort self right now just begin to come you can kneel down you don't have to come to the front you can go on the back whatever you want but for the next few moments I know that some of you have your kids waiting but for the next few moments the Holy Spirit wants to touch you in a way that you've

never experienced before allow the Holy Spirit to touch you don't wait for Vlad to touch you don't don't wait for the pastor to touch you you're here for the Holy Spirit to touch you just raise your hand release your hungry say holy spirit I'm hungry for you Holy Spirit touch me Holy Spirit Pour Your Love The Love of the father into my heart Holy Spirit I ask you for your fire I ask I ask you for your will I ask you for more of you and less of me because of the blood because of the
