LIVE: "I Would Order My Cause Before Him" (Job 22:26-23:4), Part 5/5

One phrase from Hebrews 1:3 can change how you see reality: Christ “upholds all things by the word of his power.” We take our time with it, asking what the “word” is and why scripture chooses that wording. The answer pushes past vague spirituality into something solid: God’s command is not just information, it is authority. The same God who spoke creation into existence sustains it, moment by moment, by his will and decree. 

Then we follow that thread into the gospel. When Paul calls believers a “new creation,” we argue he is not being poetic. We connect it to ex nihilo, creation out of nothing, and to regeneration and new birth. We were “dead” and God made us alive, not by polishing what was already there but by creating life where there was none. Along the way we bring in 2 Corinthians 5:17, the realities of suffering and sanctification, and the comfort that God refines his people like a silversmith who stays present and precise in the fire. 

The back half turns into a rich round of scripture and “last words”: Psalm 62 for steady waiting, Hebrews 4 for bold access to grace, Jude 1 for the tension between “keep yourselves” and the God who “is able to keep you from falling,” plus a reminder that doctrines of grace are not armchair talk but a weapon for spiritual warfare. We also pause to pray for healing and to celebrate a community that keeps showing up for the Word together.

Upholding All Things By Command

SPEAKER_02 0:00

Uh all things by the word of his power. When he says he upholds things all when he upholds all things by the word of his power, what does he mean? The what what is the word of his power? You and you use the word already.

SPEAKER_09 0:20

Christ is the word, but I believe that it is what he has decreed. His word is what he has decreed. And so the word in which he decreed he will uphold.

SPEAKER_02 0:36

Because it's his decree, but his decree is his what?

SPEAKER_09 0:43

Is his power?

SPEAKER_02 0:45

No. By the word of his power. So they're not the same. The word of his power. What is the word of his power?

SPEAKER_09 0:55

What is the word by of his power?

SPEAKER_02 0:58

What is the word?

SPEAKER_09 1:00

Is it not his will?

SPEAKER_02 1:02

It is his will. It's his will. But but his decree is his what? What is his decree? Whatever God decrees, that's his what. It's his will. I'm looking for one word.

SPEAKER_09 1:30

I want to say.

SPEAKER_02 1:31

Look at the comments.

SPEAKER_09 1:35

His command?

SPEAKER_02 1:38

His command.

SPEAKER_09 1:39

I I've okay, sorry. I think of decree and command as as one and the same.

SPEAKER_02 1:44

They are. They are. No, you got you you gotta write with care. You gotta write with his decree. And that's what I said. What is his decree? His decree is what he commands.

unknown 1:54

Right?

SPEAKER_02 1:56

Right. No, you you were not wrong. I just wanted, I just wanted something. I wanted something a little extra. I wanted cherry on top. His command. When you look, and when you look, and here's the thing: when you look up this word here, just like in Romans 10.17, where it means command, here it means the same thing. Who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person, he upholds all things by the command of his power. When he spoke the creation into existence, he spoke it into existence. His speaking was his what?

New Creation Out Of Nothing

SPEAKER_09 2:34

His command. Therefore, he commanded he commanded the stars to be where they are. He did command the dirt to form and and create man. He commanded that his whatever he willed, he commanded.

SPEAKER_02 2:51

That's right, sister. He did. That's exactly right. Exactly right. Paul says that when we become cre when we become um, he says that we become new creations. Right? Everybody knows this. We become we become new creations. So when the Bible tells us that we are new creatures, created in Christ Jesus, right? What is when he says creation, what is Paul referencing? We become cre new creatures. What is he what is Paul referencing? What is what is he taking our minds back to when he says we are new creations?

SPEAKER_06 3:40

Christ has given us a new nature.

SPEAKER_02 3:44

And so what makes that new nature a new creation? What what does it mean to be a new creation? A new birth. But but but here's what I'm saying. When Paul says we when he says that we are new creations in Christ, he's not just using this arbitrary word for no reason. And it is a heart change. Sister Arja, you got it right. It is, and it is a new nature, as you as you guys are saying. But when we talk about when the earth was created, what was the earth created from?

SPEAKER_08 4:23

It's something that was brought forth from God in our existence. It was it never existed before, and now it does.

SPEAKER_02 4:32

Does anybody know it? Is anybody familiar with the word ex nihilo?

SPEAKER_08 4:38

No, no, not me.

SPEAKER_02 4:40

Out of nothing.

SPEAKER_06 4:42

Out of nothing.

SPEAKER_02 4:45

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Brother two witnesses got it right. Ex nihilo means ex out of nihilo nothing. Creation was brought from nothing. Now we were made new creations in Christ Jesus.

SPEAKER_08 5:21

What does it mean? Out of nothing, we were a new creation in Christ Jesus.

SPEAKER_02 5:29

That's right. We were nothing.

SPEAKER_06 5:37

We are created into something.

SPEAKER_02 5:40

Out of what? Out of what?

SPEAKER_06 5:44

Not anything.

SPEAKER_02 5:46

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 5:46

We are created into something from nothing, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:49

That's right.

SPEAKER_06 5:51

There's a song like that too. It's good. That's what Paul means.

SPEAKER_02 5:57

There is not one word, because remember, this is the Lord's word. It's not, these are not arbitrary words. We as believers were created out of nothing. We are new creatures. We were nothing, like brother says here, less than a worm, and nothing. And and Paul, let me tell you something. And Paul is not being hyperbolic. We were literally nothing. What were we before we came to this new birth? What were we when we received this regeneration? What were we?

SPEAKER_08 6:47

Dead.

SPEAKER_07 6:49

Necros.

SPEAKER_02 6:51

This is dead. Necros. Dead. Dead. I can't add any more to this. This is what we were. Dead. And we were created in Christ Jesus. New creations. I can't remember if it's first or second Corinthians, or first or second Corinthians, but verse 5-17. New creations. I think that's the right verse. Yes. Yes. New creations.

SPEAKER_08 7:31

Create it.

SPEAKER_02 7:32

Yes, read it, please.

SPEAKER_08 7:34

Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new. Yes.

SPEAKER_08 7:58

But apologizing. You need to stop that, Jonathan Pharrell.

SPEAKER_02 8:15

Mariah, did the kids go to sleep?

SPEAKER_09 8:19

Last Words On Trials And Hope

SPEAKER_02 9:46

Good night. Good night. Well, I'm gonna do something. I'm gonna have you guys give a last word anyway. Cause I just I'm just I'm I'm awake, I'm in the mood, and I love being around you guys. So let me start with you, uh, sisters of Savannah. What's your last word for tonight, sister? And nobody feel like you're in a rush. Just go ahead and tell me what you feel. Say tell us what you feel.

SPEAKER_01 10:10

Yeah, so I I just wanted to say something about it. No, I just wanted to say, um, so when we're going through um trials in in life, it it it is actually, you know, it's truly a blessing. And I know you guys understand when I say this, but um a great like a great representation of that is um I believe I I believe it's in Psalms 31. I'm not really sure, but he said it says that um you know that God uh tries us by uh um like silver, um, you know, in the fire. And um something really interesting about that is that um like a silversmith, like back in, you know, back in those days, a silversmith uh when they um refine silver, they they can't just like leave it in the fire and like walk away or or whatever. It has to be at a very certain temperature, and they have to stand there and watch it and and you know refine it. They have to be they have to stand there the entire time. So that really that really says something, you know, when God uses those specific words, is that you know he will always be there with us in the fire, not just with us, but refining us in a way and making sure that you know the fire isn't too hot for us, right? Like he's not gonna, you know, put us through something that's gonna completely break us, you know.

SPEAKER_03 11:57

Right, right, right.

SPEAKER_01 11:58

It's all it's all for our you know, it's all for our benefit, and he's and he's right, he's right there with us, and he's not, you know, he's not ever gonna leave us. And I just think, you know, and also uh like a silversmith, it takes a lot of precision too, because you know, the type of metal it is.

SPEAKER_03 12:22

Right.

SPEAKER_01 12:22

So I I don't know. I just think it's beautiful how God like uses very, very specific words for a reason, and it just makes the Bible like if you really dig into it, it just makes the Bible so much um more meaningful.

SPEAKER_02 12:40

Amen. Really, really, really good. And and Sister Savannah, you keep doing what you've been doing because uh it there's no it's impossible to not understand to not see the impact that the word of God is having on your soul, at least in my hearing, and and and uh and you're just such a blessing, sister. So you keep keep doing what you're doing, okay? Sister Candy, last word for tonight. Candy.

SPEAKER_06 13:11

I'm here, I'm here. Yeah, you I was just gonna read out of Psalms and 62 because it's basically just our calm resolve in waiting on the salvation of our Lord, and that's basically what Job's teaching us. Only he's also teaching us how our minds can, when we're confronted with the world and people in it, and our thoughts can be overwhelming and consuming and cause us grief, extra grief, so to say. But he's we also know where his hope is, right? We also know why his hope is there, he knows where his strength is, he knows where it comes from. But surely my soul waiteth upon God. From him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation, he is my defense. I shall not be greatly moved. How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? Ye shall be slain, all of you, as a bowing wall shall ye be as a tottering fence. They only consult to cast him down from his excellency. They delight in lies, they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Salah. My soul wait on thou only upon God, for my expectations is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation, he is my defense. I shall not be moved. And God is my salvation and my glory. The rock of my strength and my refuge is in God. Trust in him at all times, ye people, pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us, Salah. Surely men of low decree are vanity, and men of high decree are a lie. To be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. Trust not in oppression and become not in vain robbery. And become not vain in robbery. If riches increase, set not your heart upon them. God hath spoken once, twice. I have heard this. The power belongeth unto God. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy, for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

SPEAKER_02 15:38

Amen, sister. Good word, good word, dead.

SPEAKER_06 15:42

A lot of things tonight, and I think that kind of covered a little bit of everything, plus what we're going through and learning about Job. So to anybody who doesn't, and they feel that nudge in their hearts or a ball in their throat, if the Lord's speaking to you, answer. Call out his name. Amen. Yes, we got we gotta come. His sheep will come.

SPEAKER_02 16:10

Yep. Sister Vanessa, last word for tonight.

SPEAKER_05 16:15

Well, first of all, I just want to thank God for his spirit. That he is with us always, and no matter what we do or say, we cannot be changed from him.

SPEAKER_03 16:28

Right, right.

SPEAKER_05 16:29

And then I just wanted to read out of uh Hebrews 4 15 and 16. He says, For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in a time of need.

SPEAKER_02 17:01

Amen, sister. Excellent. Two witnesses. Give us your last word for tonight, brother.

SPEAKER_00 17:09

I'll try to be brief, uh, because I I'll I'll I'm thinking, right, as I'm listening to you guys and you know, uh keeping in mind that what Job is going through. Uh I I will be very angry at Job indeed, because when I heard the gospel, I didn't understand the gospel. But I knew that Jesus was something different. And since that moment, and it's been 10 years. And trust me, I hate talking about myself, but I'm just allowing me some foolishness. Uh man, he hasn't he hasn't been quiet since the moment that I realized that he was different, right? I I didn't understood nothing about him. I understood nothing at all. And uh I will be very angry at Job because the I don't know at what point I uh learn, or I guess God showed me. Uh I think it's in the book of Colossians when Paul says that he is feeling what is lacking in Christ's affliction. That's right. And I'm like, I'm like very like like very uh not good at uh uh towards Paul, right? Like because uh what can Christ's affliction be lacking? But uh it's this image, you know, the the Christ's body suffered for us, and now uh the the reason he suffered for us is that he we maybe made his body, right? And now we, his spiritual body, we are to suffer for him as well, you know, and it's the glory of God, the sufferings, right? And it's uh I don't know, it's fulfilling, you know. Like I like I say, I don't know at what point I realize that I'm more comfortable suffering than comfortable, you know.

SPEAKER_02 19:07

Right. Amen, brother. Good word, excellent word, sister Mariah. Last word for tonight.

Keeping Yourself In Gods Love

SPEAKER_09 19:17

Um, I just want to read Jude 1, 17 to 25. It says, But beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, how that they told you that there should be mockers in the last time who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the spirit, but ye beloved, building up yourselves on the most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ until eternal life, and of some have compassion, making a difference, and of others say with fear, pulling them out of the fire, having hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now, unto him that is able to keep you from folly and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy. To the only wise God, our Savior, be the glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and forever. Amen.

SPEAKER_02 20:33

All right, sister. Let me ask you something. Stay there in that verse, because I'm going to challenge you on something. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get on your case for a second. Not on your case, but you know, doing what I always do. All right. So in verse 21, it says, keep yourselves in the love of God. Now, if I come to you and I come to you and say, Sister Mariah, see, this is proof that that your will is being what is addressed here when it talks about keeping yourselves in the love of God. This proves that it's up to you. How do you answer my my understanding of that passage if I say these things? Verse 21.

SPEAKER_09 21:18

I would say that we need to continue to read and that verse 24 answers your question now to him that is able to keep you from falling and to present you.

SPEAKER_02 21:33

All right, so I can't chip you up tonight. I can see that right now. But that's good. Absolutely. And see, and see, this is what this is what I I'm always talking about when I'm trying to share with you guys about how we, you know, is is it easy to make a case out of something when you when you don't put all the scripture together. And uh and and and and Like my sister Mariah just did. She shows exactly what it's talking about. And and to show and a further a little further how in support of what she's saying, when you look at the word keep here, it's talking about guarding. Guarding yourself while you're in the love of God. Protect yourself, guard yourself, keep yourself. Like in Proverbs 3.23, when it says, keep your heart with all keeping for out of it are the issues of life, or guard your heart with all guarding for out of your heart are all are the issues of life. So my sister is absolutely correct. And you have to be able to show people that this is what the word of God means because people are always going to tell you that no, it's up to you, and it's not. And we're thankful that it's not up to us because if it were up to us, none of us would remain faithful. Am I right, Sister Mariah? That's right. None of us remain. Sister Meg, last word for tonight.

SPEAKER_08 23:07

Well, we're reading the first book of the Bible on Job. I want to read some verses from the last book. Verse 12, Revelation chapter 22. It says, Behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me to render to every man according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Blessed are those who wash their robes so that they may have the authority to the tree of life and may enter by the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, and the sexually immoral persons, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying. I, Jesus, sent my angel to bear witness to you of these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright and morning star, and the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let the one who hears say come. And let the one who is thirsty come. Let the one who wishes receive the water of life without cost. Amen.

Doctrines Of Grace As A Weapon

SPEAKER_02 24:25

Amen, sister. Amen. Brother Pat. Last word, brother.

SPEAKER_04 24:33

Well, I kind of want to talk about Spurgeon who you mentioned earlier, if you don't mind. Go for it. The quote that you mentioned about us being um invincible.

SPEAKER_02 24:43

Invincible, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 24:44

And um the reason why I want to bring it up is this. I want everybody in this room to hear this. Please pay attention to this. One of the greatest tricks of the of the enemy is to not is to keep you ignorant of the power that you hold. You with God's word and his spirit have an unstoppable weapon. Okay, okay, it's a weapon that the enemy cannot stand in front of, I think. Cannot contest, cannot compete with. It will destroy him. And when he is faced with this weapon, the Bible tells us he runs. He runs in the face of this. This is the weapon that each and every one of you hold. Understand the power of the doctrines of grace and who you are in the world, and understand that it is you who hold the high ground, not the enemy, not the mockers, not the false religions with their feeble man. You serve the God who spoke this universe into existence, and that's the power you yield. Amen. And so I just want to remind us all of that.

SPEAKER_02 26:08

Amen, brother Pat. Good word there. Brother Jeffrey, last word and close us out if you would, brother.

SPEAKER_10 26:19

Well, Jonathan, uh I don't know. I'm I'm kind of speechless after right now. I mean, there's been a lot a lot of excellent closing words tonight. So I think I'm gonna uh just say thank you for this incredible teaching tonight, and to thank you to all of you in the panel who have contributed to this so much, and just being able to be here tonight and to be a part of it has been a blessing beyond words. And Joni and I are very grateful to all of you. We thank you for who you are for the fact that all of you make the commitment along with Jonathan to be here every night when he's doing this. I mean, guys, you've invested a lot of your time, a lot of yourselves. I mean, you know, Mariah, for example, we know that you're taking care of your beautiful children, and yet you still find time to come here and join us. I mean, that is truly amazing. And I know all of you have made sacrifices equal to that. So uh I I'll I'll close with this thought, if I may. If you think we had a good time tonight, what's it gonna be like when we get together in August? I don't know about you all. I Joni and I are are thrilled at the thought of being able to serve and encourage you here uh as Jonathan will lead and we'll be together and be able to hug and shake hands and put arms around each other and encourage each other and finally see some faces along besides these nice pictures that you all have here on your phones uh of of who it is that we are. And so uh we're very much looking forward to it. There you go, right there. Now, uh let me also add to this that uh Megan has uh got information, uh RSVP, if you can, by July 1st, so we can kind of get uh an accurate number as to where we are and everything, but just plan on being here if you can because it's it's it's gonna be a lot of fun. Father, we just thank you tonight for this incredible time. We're grateful for your presence here and what you have and how, Lord, you have revealed more of yourself to us. And yet, Lord, as much as you have revealed, there is infinitely more. So, Lord, we just ask for our patience and your patience and wisdom in helping us in our lives, Lord, to receive what you have for us, Lord, and to use it and to share it and go out, like it says in Romans 10, 17. The world needs to know. And if we don't go tell them, who will? So, Father, give us boldness when we teach, give us boldness when we speak, give us boldness when we're just outdoing the simplest of things, Lord, and you give us opportunities to be light and salt in a dark world. So, Father, we're just grateful tonight for your presence here. Thank you for each and every one. Thank you for your love and your presence. God, we love you so much. Thank you again for all that you do in Jesus' name. Amen.

SPEAKER_11 29:23

Amen.

SPEAKER_03 29:25

I mean, especially us three because we're around each other all the time. But I think it's so beautiful that it doesn't matter what we're doing, we all find each other like it's study time. Or Jeffrey will text me and he'll be like, Megan or Nathan will text me and he'll be like, Jonathan's on, you're late, you know, and we all take it so seriously.

And so I just want to let you know, brother, that just as just as serious as you take the word of God when you come on here, you know, we we all take this very seriously too. And so I I just I just really want you to know that um we we do, and it's and it blesses us and it builds us up and it gets us through, you know, our daily life and what we're going through. And you know, just like your commitment is strong to the people on here and to us, I just want you to know, brother, that ours is the exact same. And uh we love it. And so I want you to know that.

Accountability And August Gathering Plans

SPEAKER_02 33:45

Right. I I appreciate that, sister. And I and what and I tell you one thing, I I have never felt anything different with this with this group, and because because and if I did, it uh one thing the one thing that I would not want to feel is that I was wasting my time, and I've never felt that once with this group of people. And so um I appreciate all of you, and you you need to know that, and whatever I I don't express publicly, um I I definitely try to express to all of you individually. And so, you know, all of us talk offline uh and and uh but I try to keep this time so that I can do what I can to encourage you in the in the in the in the word of God and to be encouraged by you. And so I could not be a happier man uh doing what I'm doing now with all of you. Nothing has made my life more fulfilled than what's happening right now with us. And so I'm gonna do whatever I can to keep it going, and I hope that you will be all participants, participants in the same in the same thing. And uh and hopefully that God will expand what we're doing and and that people will hear the things we talk about uh and continue to spread it.

SPEAKER_08 35:00

So um, and I just want to say one more thing. And and you know, just to the people who are not only in this panel, but the people in the comments, and I'm just gonna go through them real quick. Brother Asai, he comes every single day. He supports us every single time. Um Sister Vanessa is always here, brother Floyd's always here, brother Old School is always here, Bobby's always here, Barbara's always here, sister Sylvia, she's here. Um Linus usually comes and asks 50 million questions. Um Eric Montoya, he comes when he can. I mean, Mercy and Grace, she's here all the time. Um, just Laura, sister Laura down there, she comes in all the time. And there's so many people, brother Jonathan, that are committed just right along with us. And I just think it's the most beautiful thing. It's awesome.

SPEAKER_02 35:52

It is, it it really is. And and and I'm hoping that more people will come up and and and and are not shy about doing so because I think that it's it it it's Brother Nathan. These things will help. I would love to have Nathan come up, but you know, and and the reality is because what it does is the what all this does, it helps us prepare to become better servants in the kingdom. When we get challenged and we and we do this, so we we we come in here and we do all of our training basically. And then we go out there and do the and take and take the fight um to the to the world, to the kingdom of darkness. And that's what we need to do. And we need to have the doctrines right, and we need to have the practical application of these things, and we need to be able to be answer to everyone who would ask of us about these things that we're talking about. And this is not something that I can uh that I am willing to be able to say that this is what most Christians are able to do. But to the extent that I can, and as long as I have breath in me, I want to facilitate you and to and to be a blessing to all of you and as you are to me, so that we can grow together in the grace and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ together. And that's what we're supposed to do. We are a family, and and and nothing will break this bond that we have. And um and so let's enjoy what we have because this is like one, you know, what we what we've had since we've been starting this has been one long, to my in my mind, one long continuous communion celebration. And I'm grateful that God has put all of you with me and me with you and and all of us together. So uh I I I I I can express my happiness, my gratitude, my joy, um, and the fact that I get to to glorify the Lord with you guys. And uh so thank you. Thank you, and thank you for tolerating me. I really mean that. I I really mean that. Thank you for tolerating me.
