Alright. So God has said this month his grace has released afresh upon us as we enjoy the supernatural. Oh, yes. Enjoy the supernatural. And um we are delighted. Alright, let's turn in our Bibles this morning to Mark's Gospel chapter 16. Mark chapter 16, and we will take our reading from verse 14. During the Easter period, we kind of anchored around um this verse 14. Um, so we're gonna take it up from there today and move on in the supernatural. Okay, understanding the supernatural. I'd just like to choose for a title, understanding the supernatural. We have so much to unpack in the supermarket. Uh let's just start out this way today. Understanding the supernatural. And he said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He believes and is baptized with him, but he who does not believe will be condemned. And this science will follow false wood. And if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them. They will lay hands on the sick and they will recover. And they went out and preached everywhere. The Lord walking with them and confirming the word through the accomplishment signs. Amen. Father, breathe the teaching and the preaching of your word that we may understand the supernatural more than we've ever done. Thank you, Father, in Jesus' name. We pray, amen. Somebody shout, Amen. Say the supernatural. It's it's I find this topic quite interesting because uh um human beings seem to have an innate belief that there is something mystical about our world, and and the natural man has gone in search of the supernatural in different ways. It's led people into the occult, led people into mysticisms, led people, even even a bit of of the of the horror movies, you see. So when the theme is just the the thing, the glimpse, they want a glimpse of the supernatural and an idea of what the supernatural can be. And our minds kind of went back into our days in the burden house system in Nigeria, and one of the things that was recurrent at the time was stories pedaling around, usually by seniors that harassed us to the story into uh um into into year one, or what do we call um year four yeah year one? Just as one, yeah, three would have been year 12 years or something from that right or break one break seven. Okay, you know, and so in the body house often here is that at night when kids go out, you try to get into the washroom or something, usually the bathrooms are not in the bedrooms, so you have to come out into like an open space before you get to the bathroom, and so the story will be pedaled by somebody saw something short in one corner, and that and the thing was moving, and that the person ran back into the hospital. I mean, all kinds of drama and all kinds of things. I mean, somebody was saying they were hearing those things coming from one sandwich, and then that the person could not come out, and then some others would now say when they were sleeping, something was pressing them in the night, pressing them in the night. And we heard all of those stories, and so people were terrified, and so usually when you talk about the supernatural people's minds drift forced into the negative and think of all kinds of wraps and funny things. But this morning, I want you to know that you are part of the supernatural kingdom, and that as a matter of fact, your God is a supernatural God, and you are a supernatural being. You know, let me tease you with this because I was with this. We're gonna get into some dimensions. Really, if there's anything to be afraid of, you are the one the world should be afraid of because you are the super supernatural person. Hallelujah! And and and so I wanted to know this morning that the Lord is bringing us into that understanding where his children know about these things and understand the workings of the spirit. I think it was last week we kind of went into uh first Corinthians chapter chapter chapter 12 and verse 1. And I said that Paul, in writing about spiritual gifts, Pastor Dickman took us on spiritual gifts last week, uh Thursday. Yeah, so that and that the passage actually opened that Paul said to them now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren. I do not want you to be ignorant. And I said in the original Greek, you see, gift is italicized, meaning was not part of the original Greek for the for the sake of understanding the text. The the writers, the trans the translators helped to add that to it in context of the passage. So if you had read it in the original, it will have read now concerning spiritual brother. I don't want you to be ignorant. In other words, God doesn't want you to be ignorant of spiritual things, anything that has to do with spiritual matters. God wants us to know about it and understand it. Is that a good one? All right. So the first thing I want you to write this morning is that God is a supernatural God. God is a supernatural God, He is a supernatural being. It's one of the reasons why the world does not believe God exists. Okay, because Jesus in John chapter 4 spoke about God. He says in verse 24, it says, For God is a spirit. Somebody say God is a spirit. Say it one more time. It says God is a spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth, and and he laid the foundation there for you to understand that God is invisible, you can't see him with your eyes, you can't hold him with your hands, but he's tangible at the same time, even though your eyes can't see exist. We we went through a few things that we can't see but exist, and personally, the world kind of agrees with that. That right now, with currents, all kinds of frequencies are going on around here. This microphone is working with a combination of things, it's working through electricity that we can't see, the battery is generating some currents that we can't see, and it's also working at a certain frequency, connecting with the with the pack to transmit sound. So sound is moving and we can't see it. And if you know your your mobile data is working, something is moving through the air, but you can't see it. Well, it's working, isn't it? Talk to me now. Yeah, the radio frequency is working, but you can't see it. It's the same way God is a spirit, you can't see him, but he exists. Hallelujah! And that's why uh uh we must be comfortable with that, knowing that our origin is supernatural because God is supernatural. Can I get an amen? Yes, he is, yes, he is now. Let me take a second dimension. The world we live in is a supernatural world. This world we live in. Someone say it's a supernatural world, it's not ordinary, it's a supernatural world, and it's given that if something is a byproduct of something, then the original thing will be found on the byproduct, isn't it? Yeah, just like plastic is a byproduct of petroleum, uh, isn't it? Yeah, so now God made the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1 chronicles the account of the making of the world. Now, when you get to Hebrews chapter 11, verses 1 to 3. Hebrews 11, verses 1 to 3 now says to us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. It says by it the elders obtained a good report. Verse 3 now says, By faith we understand, you have to see that again, it has to be by what faith, and that's why the world is having problems because the world is not in faith, because those that worship him must worship in spirit and in truth, you have to believe that he is okay. So, the same way for this entire world to be, it has to be by faith. You understand that the words were framed by the word of God so that the things which are were not made of things which are what visible. Give us a new living translation. Now I will just try to say this in another way, okay? Because fantastic, it says by faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command. Hallelujah. It says that what we now see, uh-huh. Isn't that spiritual? Yeah, what we now see came of what can't be seen. Ooh, the world is scary. All of a sudden, you should be afraid of this world now, because everything we see came out of something, so so this is the real something just appeared. God said, Let there be light, and light bead. Light came into existence. Okay, so God said, Let there be microphones and new microphones appear here. Someone says, Wow, that's that's supernatural. Yes, so the earth you live in is a supernatural earth, the world you live in is a supernatural world because it came out of the spirit god. Oh, yeah, it came out of the spirit God, he was taken into existence by the word of God, and that's why the world itself is still maintained by the word. You know, he took the word to create it, and then he put all the systems in place, the solar system and all the other systems, but the world is still maintained by the same word. The the source of the thing is usually the sustainers of it. So let me explain this way God made the fish out of the water, and then the fish needs water to continue to survive, isn't he? God made the animals out of the ground, so the animals still need to feed on the ground to survive, isn't he? God made man out of the ground and out of himself.

SPEAKER_01 12:19

So we need the ground and we need God.

SPEAKER_02 12:57

The way God spoken all time, you know, Elijah, Elisha, all the prophets were speaking, and God threw them. All right, now he says to us in verse two that he has in this last day spoken to us by his son. So all the all the Moses and the prophets existed until Jesus came. So when Jesus came, his word became uh uh uh uh uh an embodiment of everything they said, and he is the voice now. So that's why on the mount of transformation, when he appeared to uh uh James, Peter, and John, he said, This is my beloved son, Immomam well, please listen to him. And on that mountain, Moses and Elijah appeared. You still remember that? Oh, okay, amen. The way you people are looking at me, you're like, Eh, yeah. Okay, you're following me now. Okay, so so the so the father said to them, listen to him, okay? That's why we are not living in the old testament, that's why we are living in the new testament, because the father said, Yeah, Moses and Elijah representing the law and the prophets is spoken, but now listen to Jesus because he is the new covenant and he's the new way, and he's the is the is the summary of everything they've said. So if you follow Jesus, you can't go wrong. All right, you get it now. So that's why we live in the new testament. We refer to the old testament and learn from the are blessed by it because all scriptures given by inspiration of God, but we live in the new testament, and that's why the laws don't tie us down anymore because we live in the new testament. Glory to God. So if anybody harasses you with a passage of scripture that you need to you know put this candle somewhere, or go and take a wash somewhere and go and use soap somewhere, or you need to make a sacrifice somewhere, or you need to, you know, all of those things. If you can't find it in Christ, please leave it alone. Because the father said listen to Jesus. Okay, good. We're listening to Jesus now, and it says that um uh um in him to be here of all things, who whom also he made the world. That's three. Everybody help me one, two, go. Who being in the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person, and obvolving all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself touched as things, sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high. Glory to God. Where is Jesus now? He's sitting at the right hand of the majesty on high. Now, Edom tells us that he made all things through him, but he's also upholding all things by the word of his power, so everything on earth is still upheld by God's word, everything still responds to God's word, so the earth will go the way God said it will go, it has to praise God. That's why when Jesus was here in person, the world responded to his word. In fact, it's the reason nature responds to God's word. You know that Joshua and the children of Israel had this thing going on, and they were trying to fight a battle, and then it was getting dark. What did Joshua do? He commanded the son to stand still, and then the son heard because the sun is supernatural, and he responds to God's word through Joshua. Okay, so that's why Moses can hit a rock and water will come out of it, because the rock is responding to God. Jesus will turn water to wine because it is responding to God, he will command the storm to be still, and the storm will be still because it's responding to the word of God, so it will say, No one will eat of this fig tree anymore, and nobody ate from the fruit anymore because it's responding to the word of God. Nature responds to God's word, it responds to God's word. So that's why you understand when it says he's giving man dominion, but through Christ Jesus, you can speak to nature. We can we can we can that's why we we believe even as the seasons change, it will not hurt you because the sun shall not smite you by day, not the moon, and so the sun is here that it should not smite you. Are you listening to me? Because it listens to the word of God, so we're not expecting flus as the seasons change, because the weather will not hurt you, and and so we can say, see, let everything do their job, you will not hurt me. The spring is beautiful, the flowers will start moving and the pollination will start taking place, but it's not gonna bring you cough and cold and flu because that's not the purpose. But he said, Amen. Say it's a supernatural world. Yes, it is, yes, it is. So you understand, and that this entire world responds to the word of God. Yes, it does. Yes, it does. Number three, man is supernatural, and I'd gone ahead of that earlier to say, remember, I said man was do you remember how man was formed from the dust of the ground, isn't he? Well, yeah, and it was formed on the dust of the ground, but man was not a living soul until God breathed into man, and then he became a living being. Well, from that point on, that was supernatural. It was from God, isn't it? Who is supernatural, who is a spirit, and birthed into his mouth mortal, and he came to life. And and the first act that we see is completely supernatural because God said Adam should name all the creatures, and the Bible said Adam began to give all of them names. I've wondered if you've really thought about that. I mean, how how mighty was that task that he gave all the creatures, he was able to name all of them. Think about it, it's powerful, isn't it? Oh, yeah, and and worked in the supernatural power and named all of those creatures and exercised dominion, and and there was no problem in the garden, everything was working well because he was in full authority. God had given man dominion over everything. Unfortunately, man fell, man sinned, and then God had said the day you eat of the fruit, you will die. And we understand now that that death isn't just about physical death, anything that it's first of all, separation from God is death. It's separation from God. See, that's why when Jesus took our sins on the cross, you know, one of the things Jesus said to the Father is, My Father, my father, why have you forsaken me? Now it wasn't that God abandoned us because Jesus took our sins, and sin separate us from God. All right, so that's what sin did to Adam, it separated Adam from God. So Romans 3 23 says, For all have sinned and falling short of the glory of God. You see, now that's the expression of we fell short of what God planned for us, of how God intended for us to operate. But thank God for Jesus Christ. I said, Thank God for Jesus Christ. Now, this is the part I want you to I want you to read this scripture with me because I want you to see something now. So man died spiritually, but Jesus came to raise us back to life. Hallelujah. Ephesians chapter 2. Ephesians 2 is beautiful, and I just want to look at it from verse 1 to 6 because you're about to discover something about yourself again now. It says, and you he made alive. We were dead in trespass and so we someone said we were dead. How in trespasses and sins. So we were dead in Jesus. We were dead in Jesus. It says in which you once walked according to the cause of this world. You know, I said that people talk about Adam eating the fruit, right? And that what we've done after that is more than fruit. We've seen plenty of other things. Okay, so we walk according to the cause of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now walks in the songs of disobedience. You know what this is telling us? It's telling us that the world has received everybody who is not born again today is under what? Give us give us a new translation. I want to make you see something. I want to make you see something. You used to live in sin just like what were we doing? Obeying the Oh, okay. I'm sure some of you didn't see that before. So we were, we were, when we were not saved, we were obeying the devil. We were under the command of the past and the unseen world. Again, look at that. The unseen world. Okay, so we so so so when you talk about people just living ordinary lives, there's really nothing like that. Are you following what I'm saying? So there's really nothing like people some people are just doing what they feel like doing. It looks to me like they're under the puppet master. Now you and I were under the puppet master. We lost our minds. We were crazy. We we thought evil. I remember, you know, I I got saved in 1992, and on 1st of January 1992, I knew I was born again. So I picked 1st of January every year as the as my as a remembrance of my salvation. And some time ago, on my secondary school group on WhatsApp, I just shared, you know, like I'm so grateful to God that the Lord saved me. And now the Lord has turned my life around. And some of my old students replied to say, and he said, Well, you are not such a bad boy in school. Now, when he said that, he was referring to some other classmates that we knew who I mean, these guys, even the principal knew that you know, when the principal knows and the principal sees them and he breeds first before he does something, you know how bad people have become. So don't let me don't let me take you on bad journeys. You know, some guy remarked and said, But you're not such a bad guy after all, and I understood what he was saying. And I said to him, I said, Yes, physically I wasn't, but in my mind, I was as terrible as every other one. In fact, the scripture now tells us those of you who were quiet, thank you, Jesus, for what was going on in your minds at those times, and then he now says, If you were guilty of one, you were guilty of all. Okay, so those who stole were as bad as those who taught us stealing.

unknown 24:11

Thank you.

SPEAKER_02 24:12

Those who those were only those small, small likes. You you're always not as bad as another person. He says you're as bad as somebody who killed somebody in the in the courts in the university. He says guilty of one, we were guilty of all. So all of us were condemned under war, condemned without Christ. Because even in our little life, we were under the devil's influence. So you understand there is no ordinariness to anybody that we are either under God's influence or you are under the devil's influence. In the what heart of those who refuse to obey God, is at work in the heart. So anybody that you know right now that is not saved, Christ is at work in your heart, the devil is at work in their heart. That's why preaching the gospel is critical. When you understand this, you understand it's not Mr. Nice, because you have to see sometimes the reason we think you know this guy doesn't need Christ because he's not a bad guy after all. What you understand is more than what you see on the outside, and it's more than our own way of determining who is good or who is bad. Praise God, praise God, praise God. Yeah, I'm just letting it sink in a little. You understand what I'm saying? So, sometime ago, I'm gonna come back to the scripture. I'm gonna show something real quick. Sometime ago, we said in church, how one very wonderful pastor, he pastors one of the largest churches in the world. He had come up on Larry King Life, and more than that, I've seen I think I've seen two interviews now, and they asked him, they said, Are you saying anybody who does not believe in Jesus will go to hell? And then the guy, the man, the man of God, he was trying to be careful, and he said, Well, you know, it's not for him to determine who will go to hell or not. That he just knows that people should just move many kind of dogs. I said, Ah, no man of God, don't be like that. All you were supposed to do, sir, is just say what the words say, don't even say you just tell them what the Bible says, sir. All right, this is what the Bible says. John chapter 3, verse 16. I want to show you something. Go to verse 17 and 18. I'm coming back to Ephesians 2. I want to just make this point so that we understand what this is. It says, For God so love the world. Okay, take it from verse 15, please. Okay, take it 14. Let me touch something. Good. It says, and as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the son of man be lifted. Let me not let me not touch that. 15. It says that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Verse 16, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have what everlasting life. Verse 17, it says, For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. Verse 18. It says, He who believes in him is not what, but he who does not believe what so did you do you see that he's condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten. So watch this. He who does not believe is condemned already. So because we are condemned already, that's why Jesus came to save us. So those of us who believe in him can move from condemnation to justification. So so see, the world is condemned already, the world is in trouble already. So Jesus came to save us so that we don't go with the world. So so asking if somebody doesn't believe in Jesus, we said, no, you don't understand it. Jesus is did not come to throw people to hell, he came to save people from hell because the world is in trouble already. Honestly, if you start and at if you if you if you held the mic uh with with us with a CNN interview, and you tell them this world is in trouble already, it's already a mess. Come on, help me now. Isn't the world a mess? It is a big mess, yeah. So you now tell them, and that's why Jesus came because he knew this mess will continue. So the world is condemned already. So Christ came to save us from condemnation. Romans 8 says, There's therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ, because in Christ there will be saved condemnation. That's the that's the this is the this is the miracle of our salvation. I think somebody should give God praise in the Lord. That's a miracle of our salvation. We just wanted to take that in. Let's go back to Ephesians 2 now. Verse 3 says to us now that we were under the under the influence of the devil, the spirit works on the source of disobedience. Verse 3. It says among whom also all also confronted ourselves in the lust of our flesh, in the desires of the flesh, of the mind, our children of wrath, just like others begins, but what who is rich in mercy because of his great love with which he loved us, plus how does he love you? Ah now you are not saying like I said, how does he love you? Ordinary love, good love, it's great love. Someone say great love. So 316 judges will make sense with God's so love. You see, because that greatness sometimes, sometimes it it's it's a pure the greatness of God's love for us. Sometimes we don't even feel it, you see, because because praise God, because God is invisible. So watch this. It says we give verse 5. It now says, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ. By grace you have been saved. Verse 6 now says, and raised us up together, together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah. He said, We'll be made. Someone said, I'm alive now. So watch this. When Adam Sin, he fell and and and then he died spiritually. Now he said, We also were dead, but in Christ Jesus, we have been made alive. So someone say, I'm alive in Christ. My spirit is alive in Christ. So because you need to get this now. Are you alive? Are you sure? The Bible says now you're alive in Christ, and you're not just alive, he has raised us up together. You know, in Hebrews 1, we said it's already seated at right on the Father, isn't it? Then now he tells us we have been we've been made sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. So even though you're sitting looking at me with your lovely eyes in Calgary and Bata in this JT cafe right now, but where you are in the spirit is in the where in oh, come on, George, talk to me now. I said, even though you're looking as beautiful as you're looking, there is more to you because the you I'm looking at is not all that they're reached to you, even though your body is here positionally, you are in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. You're a spirit. Are you following what I'm saying here? So, yes, even though you're here physically, it says in the spirit, there is more to you. There is more to you in the spirit, you are a powerful person, you are in a position of power. In the spirit, you're in a position of power. It's just that you don't know, or sometimes we forget, and we think we are ordinary people. So everybody's going to work. You think you are going to work and you think you're just one of them. No, you're not. They are under the influence of the devil, you're under God's influence. They are down here with the devil, you are up there with God. Hallelujah. Somebody catching what I'm saying here. That there is more to you than the you that you see in the mirror, that you are supernatural obedient, and that Christ now lives in you, and we are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Glory to God, glory to God, glory to God. I said, Glory to God. Colossians 1. Let me just walk versus 12 and 13 and add another layer to it. Colossians 1. In fact, uh, let me let me let me take it from okay. Before you don't mind us walking, can we walk scriptures? Okay, good. Let's go to 2 Corinthians 4. We're going back, we're coming back to Colossians 1. But 2 Corinthians 4, I just want to show us this. Watch this again now. It says, But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. See what he says about them again, whose minds the God of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine upon them. He's telling us that those who don't believe, you know, the devil is ruling their hearts, right? Now he's telling us, and he's also put a blindfold on them. So much so that this gospel will not shine. And that's where you and I were. We were blinded, we we made fun of Christians, we we teased them, we thought they were ridiculous, we thought some of them were foolish, we thought all kinds of things, and we were there. But meanwhile, he says the problem is we were blindfolded, so much so that when we even came to church, it didn't make any meaning to us. Oh again, I was on and we're talking was about two days, and I and I sang a song, I sang a song, I sang a song, and she said, Where did that come from? The song is Joy is the flag flying high from the castle of my heart, from the castle of my heart, from the castle of my heart, joy is the flag, flying high from the castle of my heart for the king, he's resident there. She said, Where did that come from? Joy is the flag flying high from the castle of my heart for the king, the king of kings is resident there. Remember, you had the temple of God, isn't it? Yeah, she said, Where did the song come from? I said, It was a song, was this was one of the songs we sang in the Catholic school when I was in the house in secondary school. We we we we sang the song, we sang it, and we're looking for girls because it didn't make no mean we were just singing, we we were just religious, we wanted to be altar boys so that one girl can sing, you wanted to be usher so that somebody can notice you, you wanted to sing so they can hear your voice. I mean, that was all the nonsense that was going on, but they kept repeating the songs. But the songs didn't make any sense because we were dead spiritually, all but when we came alive, when the veil was removed, when God removed that veil from our eyes, all of a sudden I'm like, What is this? What we were singing? The king is a resident in our heart, the king lives in you, Jesus is in you, and you are in Jesus. I said, Christ is in you, and you are in Christ. Give him praise and glory. The light of God shone upon our hearts, and he brought this glory to us, but for them, it says that the minds are still blinded by the devil, so that they don't understand the light of God, but you are in the light now. Thank you, Jesus. So Colossians 1, verses 13, 12, and 13. That's a natural thing, it's happening to us on a journey. It is giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints. We're in the light, we're in the light now. Hallelujah. Verse 13. Who has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the storm of his love? Hallelujah! Delivered us from the power, from the kingdom of darkness, he got us completely out of it. You see, when you read the word convey, the first thought that comes to your mind is transportation, isn't he? It's like a relocation. Yes, but there's more to it than that. You see, relocation is powerful, and I want to explain that because I like I always like to tell the story of how when I was in primary school, um, a new primary school was created, and we we had they had to move me from my old primary school to the new one. And in the old primary school, we had this we had this headmaster that liked to discipline people if they came late to school. Oh god, you see, back in Africa, praise God, there were there were some Mr. Two goods that you see the canes were long, and and and they even because caught canes and bring we go and look for canes over the weekend and we bring it to school on Monday so that we can be punished with our own cane. And then whoever brought the nice chains ones is known as a good guy. If you brought 40 cane, then you can even be beating for bringing it for the cane as well. Anyway, so this one, if you came late, it was always there with a long one, it doesn't need to spread too much. Was he was he sometimes the people go right from your head all the way through your spine? Oh my god, we had teachers and we had wicked titles, but anyways, you know, it was like that. And if you came late, you had it, it was ready for you. So they moved us to a new school and changed our uniforms, and so all of a sudden, we could walk past our old school without being afraid of that Mr. So and so that used to beat people. Why? We're not in the school anymore, we're not wearing this uniform anymore, so there's nothing we can do. I came to tell you you are not in the devil's camp anymore, you're not wearing the devil's uniform anymore. But there's a cloak of righteousness on you. Jesus took your old cloak, took your old uniform, which was sin and compromise, and he put righteousness on you, he put a new life in you, you're a different now, so the old schoolmaster cannot beat you anymore, the whole headmistress cannot touch you anymore because now you're a new kingdom, you're a part of a kingdom of God that is supernatural. Hallelujah. Give him praise in the house. Glory to God. You've been conveyed, you've been transported, you've been relocated into the kingdom of God. Hallelujah! Hallelujah. The the Greek word also carries the meaning that is complete transformation. So it's not just physical movements, it's a change. This one talking about a change of uniform, a change of heart. It's it's a it's it's it's actually like like saying the translation of the kind of thing that happened to Jesus on the mountain. That's what he did. He took us from the kingdom of darkness. You are living a supernatural life. This is what Jesus has done for us. This is what he has done for us, and you must understand that so that your heart begins to open up that you're in a supernatural kingdom, and this church is a supernatural church. Pastor Lou was sharing a bit of that with us on Thursday. I'm gonna get into it next this coming Thursday. It's a super supernatural church, it's a supernatural church, it's a supernatural church. This morning, I just want you to embrace what God is doing, what he has done, and what he's doing in your life. Because it's a complete transformation to embrace the free gift of Christ and the transformation that is brought into your life, embrace your new identity, you're not the old person anymore. In fact, if I'd won my old uniform, I wanted to go to that school, they'll push me out. They say, No, you are not our student anymore. So, even when you pretend like you're not saved, the devil knows you're not one of his own because Christ is in you now, and so they're saying, Look, you have no, this is not your place. Get out, get out, get out, and that old uniform doesn't fit you anymore. You've outgrown it. That's not where you are anymore. So embrace the new life in Christ Jesus and behave like the man that he made you to be and be confident in what he has done for you. You belong to God. Satan has no right over your life anymore.
