Sermon Transcript：
Amen，amen. Well there has been a problem for my phone. It works now，so praise the Lord. I want to commit the meeting and prayer. So, let us give our hearts to Him. Heavenly Father we thank you for your blessed name that you've given us. We thank you for this blessed convention. You've allowed ministers to speak, Father, in your word. You've allowed your word to come forth for our hearts to be transformed. Father, this is the purpose of you and your word. We want our hearts to be transformed. We want our minds to be pure, Lord. So, we give you our minds today, Father, that you may fix anything that's not according to your word, not according to your will. Let us put on the mind of Christ give us an ear that we may hear and let your word be glorified. We give you this meeting in the name of Lord Jesus Christ, we pray, amen.
Amen, my brothers and sisters. Greetings from Lebanon and from all the saints here. We are blessed to be part of the body of Christ. We are blessed to partake of this divine nature that Christ has given us. Only through him we are able to enter into the most high place. And he has given this light to every true seed that came out from Him. These seeds are able to produce fruits that are well pleasing to the Lord. We're able to show that image on the earth. We're able to be ambassadors of Christ. We're to be lights and salt of the earth. You know, my brothers and sisters, the whole earth has no flavour. We are the flavour. We are giving flavor to the world. The world is empty, the world is vain. It's void. It's full of darkness. We are the only ones that have the salt to give flavor. And that's through the word of God that's been given to each and every one us that love you, that are called to this purpose. So, I just want to thank the Lord for what He is doing today and for the work that He's finishing.
Yes, today, I want to speak about My Glory That Is Rejoicing. We all know that before faith was revealed to us, it was kept a secret. Nd Paul speaks about it. Hold on, my brothers and sisters, I'm just using my Bible here. Yes, just bear with me one second, okay. So, if we open the scripture. Galatians 3:23, but before faith came, were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. So, we just read in Galatians that faith was shut up, it was kept a secret and they all under the law. But the time came for them to receive faith. So, we know that faith is a secret. Faith is revelation. Faith is the evidence of things unseen. And Paul was touched by this faith. His eyes were opened to the evidence. And this faith has been revealed to us. It's the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. It's the faith of the spoken word. We give the Lord all praise and glory for giving us this revelation of faith. But there's a purpose to what this faith is doing. There's a reason why that God is only pleased by faith.
God created the whole world, the whole universe, everything through this faith. The word seed that was hidden in God, as John said, John 1:1, the word was with God. It was in his bosom. That word that came out of Him was the first seed. It was Christ. It was the spoken word that spoke all life into existence. (Video clip 13:50) It spoke space, time and matter. It spoke the angels. It spoke all that we see, today. The whole creation. There was power in that word that came. There's power of faith in that word. And the faith of the Lord is what's bringing in us here today. It's what's gathering is together. So, we are walking in that faith. And this is what is well pleasing to the Lord.
Let us grow in grace. We're learning. Grace is teaching us.(God's grace is a person. Jesus Christ is God's grace personified.) Just as the law was teaching, was a school master to them, grace is the school master to us. Grace is teaching us that all things are working together for the good. Everything we go through in this world, everything that the sons of God are passing through, the trials, the tribulations, the temptations, it's all for us to grow in grace. That's why they were shouting for, they were counting everything for joy, everything they went through, they were counting it for joy. They had the revelation that the light affliction that they're passing through is only for a moment. There's a far more exceeding weight of glory waiting for us to be given. It's waiting for us. So, my message today is about the Glory that Is Rejoicing. David said, my glory rejoices and my flesh shall rest in hope.
How is our glory rejoicing? You know, when the word was spoken to our hearts there was a hidden seed that was rooted in us. And it was rooted in love. Because the word was spoken in love. And because the love of God was shed abroad in our hearts, we're able to walk in His love to continue in His love.
This glory that is in us is the word of God. It's the love of God. The love of God is in us germinating, creating a new creature. Christ is forming inside of us. And we see the beautiful picture that God has presented to us. There's Christ,, a new creature, in us, it's the inner man. This is the glory that's going to be revealed in the sons of God. Paul says in Romans chapter 8, he says, all the creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. And there's a glory in us awaiting to be revealed.
We see it in the times and the time of Noah. There was a hidden glory inside the earth that all the world did not know about. It was the water that was contained in the earth. And that hidden glory was manifested when the windows of heaven were opened and the water underneath the earth was unleashed, it was revealed. This glory that was inside the earth was the water in the natural.
And in us is the water of the word of life. Remember Jesus said, and you are living fountain of water. And so were living fountain of natural water in the earth awaiting be revealed. This is what we're waiting for. We're waiting for it and patience. The word says, after you have done the will of God, the promise will come. But we are in need of patience.
So, what is the will of God? It is the same will that our Lord Jesus Christ had to go through. He drank of the bitter cup. He even prayed to his Father, if You are able to remove this cup away, if there is another way, let it be according to Your will. But the will of God was for him to drink of that bitter cup, it was for him to die. Because through his death, much fruit resurrected, much fruit was manifested.
And through us, dying daily, our fruits are going to be manifested for the harvest to come. That is why we must die to this old self. That is why we are dying daily. It is the will of God in us. Look back before we were saved, look back before the Lord called us. We were walking according to the course of this world, according to the nature of the Gentiles the nature of this corruption of this lust. We were walking according to this flesh fulfilling the will of the flesh. But when faith was revealed to us, we started to enter into the teaching of grace. Grace started to teach us. That's why we cannot spit on grace. When we fall short of the glory of God, and it is not us who is falling. It is this flesh that's doing the things we don't want to do. As Paul said in Romans chapter 8, he's saying and his flesh dwelleth no good thing. This flesh is the wilderness. This flesh is the heaviness of corruption. We're carrying the memory of sin and iniquity in our blood. That's why when we were born, all we had done was walk according to the will of the flesh. The flesh has an anointing. It has a voice. And it's speaking to us daily. It's teaching us how to sin. That's why children when they're born, they don't need to be taught how to sin. Their own flesh is pulling them. Pulling them down. That's why we fall in the flesh. We're not falling in the spirit because we receive the spirit of God. Jesus said, the spirit is ready, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak (to follow the Lord). Therefore, we must walk in the spirit. That is why the flesh is our cross. We're bearing the cross. We're bearing our weakness. Just as Jesus carried his cross and all our sins we're upon that cross. He carried it, he endured until the end. Because he was able to see through the eyes of faith. He was able to see what stood before him. He was able to see the glory that was about to take place. There was a secret hidden glory before him. And there is a glory before us waiting to be revealed. That's why I encourage you to endure this cross. To endure all that the flesh is doing unto us. This flesh is wicked. It's mocking us. It's doubting the will of God. It's doubting the truth. It has doubt inside of us. It has iniquity inside of us. That's why we must not hear the voice of this anointing that's coming out of the flesh. When we received the new birth, there came a voice from above , there came a wisdom from above. This is the wisdom that's been speaking to us. Whenever we see with our eyes, even if we see the whole world falling apart, that can do nothing to us until we hear the sweet still small voice of the Lord. We see it in Elijah. Elijah saw the earthquakes. Elijah saw the fire. Elijah saw the whirlwind. He saw everything happening in the natural before his eyes but that did not give him any peace. The only
