Please hallelujah Jesus Thank you Lord Jesus Hallelujah Thank you Jesus Hallelujah Welcome everyone Good morning Grace and Truth Church Wonderful church family Extended church family online we love you Oh the kingdom of God is expanding praise God and He's using us to do it Isn't that wonderful to be a part of that in these last days You were born for such a time as this I was reading about David the other day when the when the when the enemies came and and they burned Ziklag and took all of their women and children and all their belongings and and they had already been out fighting and some of and they grieved so much and David encouraged himself in the Lord because the men even wanted to stone him. They were so distraught. But they went after them. The Lord encouraged them to go after them and recover everything. And even those who there were some that couldn't go, they were so tired that they couldn't proceed and they stayed behind. And some of the evil and wicked men at the end said, those who didn't go, they won't get a share in the bounty because they went and defeated them, got all their stuff back, no one was lost and all that. But uh David said, No. From then to this day forward, and even those who remain behind will share equally with those who go. That's a message for the church. Anything you're a part of, anything you're encouraging, anything you're sewing into in the body of Christ, whatever they do, goes to your account too. It's gonna be wonderful when we get to heaven. I was watching the testimony of a young man who went to heaven. I love to see those, and uh, and God, the Lord sent him back. And uh he just said, You tell them I am the Lord who who loves to expand his kingdom. I love that. I love that. They asked him, What if you had one word to explain heaven while you were there, what would it be? He said, joy. Just joy everywhere. He also said, I always tell people now that you better get used to singing and praising God now because that's what you're gonna be doing in heaven. He said, I was just singing along with the angels and with everyone. He said, What were you singing? He says, I don't know, but I knew the words. Praise God.

Wow, gee.

SPEAKER_01 3:24

So happy to say, and and and God bless you everyone who hears these messages and or sees them or any portions thereof. Uh it's just such a blessing that we're being used of God to touch, to get the word out, the gospel of Jesus Christ around the world. Last week, you know, there's different formats we use, and uh and so you don't typically get that many, you know, when you break it up into smaller segments and you do the reels that are fifty, you know, a minute or three minutes, you get a lot of views on those things, right? And then the quotes with the music and things that I do on different formats, those all get thousands of listens and looks and all that stuff, and it blesses people. But the hour-long message that I preach, how many of you know, not even many churchgoers will go to a church that does that these days? I only said that because I I understand the importance of it, but last week I couldn't help but notice when I was uploading just the audio version that goes to the podcasts and SoundCloud and things like that distributed all over. Not the video on YouTube, but the audio portion. When I was uploading it, I couldn't help but notice in the top it had a banner. Like there was over a thousand new listeners to the hour-long audio sermon in the last 30 days all over the world. A few hundred of those were in three different major cities in Vietnam. So, praise God. You're a part of that. I just want to encourage you that. I'm so blessed and thankful. I just hadn't gotten over it really. Got all my new stuff, my cool pastor towel and uh my my cool pastor mug. I wanted to bring the box that came in because it said uh pastor, because devil stomping, um devil stomping something, uh devil stomping ninja is not really a job description or something. So I just want to set the box up here, but I just figured I better not. I even got on my new praying pastor socks, so thank y'all. But the the dinner was so special. We missed you, Patricia, and we're glad to see you looking 50 years younger. What are you, 20 now? My goodness. Well, when we pray, stuff really happens, I tell you. And that's how we want it to be here. That's that's what I want. You know, these ministers can um go out and thank God that there are wonderful healing ministries and powerful evangelists and things like that in the body of Christ. God did that in his mercy and love for the body of Christ. But, you know, they can come in, and I was just listening to a friend of mine talk about this, and that's what he does. He has a powerful healing ministry, goes all over the world. Um I was listening to him this week, and he was just saying talking about that in an interview. He said, Yeah, he goes, I he goes, I I can go in and and um and I can tell people about my most recent conferences and the healings that took place and and all the wonderful things, and I can inspire their faith, and I can use my faith, and they can receive their healing, you know, and and they do, and and that's all wonderful, but I want them to know, and then he started talking about me, not me, but but but my heart. He said, I want them to know that they can they have this apart from me when they're on their own. And I said, and I was sitting there with Tavana watching, and I said, Strong at midnight, like we always talk about. So that's the that's the goal of discipleship is to make you healed, empowered, loved, and prospered in every way, to receive all the help that God has provided by the grace of God, and then not to stop there, but to go and help others with that same help you've received. Amen. So now I just want to say happy Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day, and so it's a happy Mother's Day, 2026. God bless you. Oh, and thank you for the wonderful flowers for Tavana. That blesses me so much. I sent her a picture already, and I had to set them up here so everybody could see it if they watch. Because they're so beautiful. Thank you. Y'all are wonderful church family, thank you. Well, let's pray for all those who aren't here and who wanted to be here. I got a message from some this morning, and some are doing things, and and I got called yesterday from others who said they were coming with their entire families and extended families, and uh yet to see them, but I believe they'll be here. Amen. Praise God. But you're here. Right where God had you to be today. Wow, aren't we blessed and thankful? Today I want to. We'll just, of course, it's Mother's Day, so we want to honor and celebrate the love and sacrifice and strength of mothers everywhere. Amen. First of all. A mother's love is so very special, so very special. There's nothing like it, actually, in this world. No doubt about that. Not that they're, I think it's necessary in light of the extravagant, amazing, unconditional love that we're speaking of today, of a mother's love, because you'll see the connection today. But we we must mention that not all mothers are perfect. I know not all fathers aren't. I don't think I hardly did anything right in that regard. So no condemnation to anyone. But in this imperfect fallen world, there are some who've made many mistakes, and thank God we have Jesus Christ, and forgiveness is readily available, and and he's always about forward ever and backward never. Amen. But the natural love of a mother for a child is very special. And with that amazing love of a mother as our example, I want to look at the beautiful picture that a mother's love gives us of God's love. And what that should mean for how we see ourselves in Christ. So the message today isn't just for mothers, although we are celebrating mothers everywhere, but it's for every believer. Heavenly Father, thank you for this time together with your children and for all those who will hear in other places at other times. I thank you for your blessing and anointing, your favor. Let it be you, Lord Jesus, speaking through me. Thank you for the angels you've assigned to encamp round about this place. Thank you for the anointing that goes out with your word and your promises. Knows no time constraints, no distance limitations. We thank you for your love and opening the hearts, the minds, the eyes, and the ears, the spiritual hearing and and sight of those who receive this precious word today, that it may benefit them and others through them. In Jesus' name. Amen. I want to start by pointing out a beautiful truth that I found in Scripture this week. From Isaiah chapter 66, verse 13. God says, as one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you. As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you. Then he goes on to say, you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. So this is not just for us because we can we latch hold of everything now in the new covenant. We have a better covenant with better promises. So everything that was ever spoken, any blessing over anyone from the beginning of the Word of God in Genesis 1 to the end of Revelation is ours. Amen? In Christ Jesus. And the supernatural supersedes the natural. The supernatural, by faith, we know, created what we do see in the natural. But never neglect to understand that God still holds his promises true for Jerusalem, for Israel. Amen. As one who comforts is comforted by his mother. That's how I'm going to comfort you, God says. I just say that over and over because I want you to think about that. God speaking, it shows that a mother's love is so powerful that God Himself uses it as a picture of how much He loves us. I thought that was quite beautiful and profound. I've been thinking about it so much. Because we have to understand that when God Himself has to reach down onto our level and try to find something relatable to us to describe His attributes, nothing compares. But the greatest example of unconditional love he could find was the love of a mother. Wow. First Corinthians chapter thirteen, verses four through seven. Says love is patient and kind. Love does not envy or boast. It's not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way. It's not irritable or resentful. It does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. And we know it goes on to say, love never fails. This is the kind of love that God has for us. And the kind of love he wants us to walk in. He's wanting me to say vertically and horizontally, in that order. That's why the cross has two beams on it, one vertical, the other horizontal. It's essential that we receive the vertical, we have the vertical relationship with God. We receive the love of God. We have an understanding of the love of God for us so that we can have the horizontal relationships with those in the world that He has prepared for us. As well as thinking of my own mother, as we all do, I'm sure, on Mother's Day. On this day, I also have been thinking of two mothers from the Bible. The very first mother and the one who exemplifies exemplifies God's greatest miracle in my book. You may pick at that, but I don't care. It's a big one. Of course, Eve was the first mother, mother of all creation, of all the living. So thank God for Eve. But then there was Mary, that young Jewish teenager, that was chosen to carry the greatest miracle the world has ever seen in her womb. Think of it. God realized our need for a Savior that only he could provide. We were stuck on for, right? Father, Son, Holy Ghost, creation, into which entered corruption. We were stuck on for, and then came redemption, grace, through Jesus Christ. But God placed himself in Mary's womb to come and rescue us. Think of that. The God of all creation, Christ Jesus, who had been and was before there anything was. All things were created by him and for him and through him. Anything that was created in heaven and earth. And the need was there. The Father had the plan. Jesus said, I'll go. I'll go, Father. Thank you, Jesus. Philippians 2, 6 through 8 says, who existing, speaking of Jesus in the form of God, always had been, always was, always will be, who existing in the form of God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped. People look at that and say, see, he wasn't God, he didn't think of it. No, he emptied himself of all that. He said, I'll go. And when he did, he laid set aside because it had to be a kinsman redeemer. God gave authority to man in this earth. We gave it away when we agreed with Satan instead of God. Because God looks at the seed. You think, well, that's not fair because Adam and Eve did that, that I'm sinful because of the one sin of one man. Well, you could say that if you want, but then how fair is it that we all have been made righteous by the righteous act of one man? Who became a man in every way. That means one moment he's God and he says, I'll go. And then he was in a womb unaware, born, had to learn to walk and talk and do everything. As a man, had no privileges that we don't have. He had to set all that aside to be qualified to be the sacrifice that we needed. How amazing is that! He emptied himself, taking the form of a servant. He emptied himself of what? All of his godly privileges. Becoming like us. And at some point, ah, because mom and them told him what had happened, what they had seen. See, she treasured up all those things in her heart. They didn't even really understand. But they told him what they did know, and then he read, and he began to see. This is ah, this is me. I see what I did. I see what I did. And I'll fulfill this mission. I'm about to take off running here. And being found in appearance as a man. See that? Found by who? By himself! He humbled himself. All right, I'm gonna do this. For them. For him. And became obedient to death, even death on a cross. Wow. What love. Yet, even from the cross, Jesus showed his amazing love and honor for his. Own earthly mother, didn't he? John chapter 19, he's hanging there on the cross, forgiving people left and right, saved one of the thieves who had just been cursing at him, and then he had a change of heart along with his buddy, but his buddy didn't change his mind, but this guy did. If you put all the gospels together, you have to assume that. He hadn't been a disciple, hadn't been in church, didn't go to cemetery. All the angels, when he got to the gates, they're like, What do you, how did you get here? I don't know. The thief on the cross I'm talking about. Well, did you follow Jesus? No, I've never met the man until he was. Well, did you go, did you study the Torah? Did you go to never, not a day in my life? Well, you you you understood the doctrine of faith. What's that? Were you baptized? I don't know. What's that? I don't know. All I know is the man on the middle cross told me I could come. And then he looked down and Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved. Of course, you know John's writing this when you read that. Talking about John, he's standing nearby. He was the only. You see what I'm talking about? About that vertical need, that necessity of that vertical relationship, of an understanding of the love of God for us so that we can do the horizontal relationship. When Jesus was crucified, there was all the Marys there, of course, but John was the only disciple there of spiritual employment at the foot of the cross because of his amazing understanding of the love of God for him. Everybody else was afraid and ran off. He said to his mother, Woman, behold, your son. He pointed to John, his disciple. Then he said to his disciple, Behold, your mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. Now John was just a young disciple of Jesus, wasn't he? And Mary had other sons. Biological sons, didn't she? But at the time of Jesus' crucifixion, none of them were his disciples. Now, they did become his disciples. Hard not to. When you see your crucified brother standing before you again, ministering for 40 days, before he ascended to the right hand of the Father. So they came along later, but at the time they didn't, and he put his mother in the custody of his disciple John. And according to the gospel in Matthew chapter 12, and also in Mark, he mentions it in chapter 3. Jesus defines his mother and his brothers as those who will do the will of God, doesn't he? It's important. Not just his biological family, he said that his true family were his disciples and followers who hear him and follow God's word. Those who keep Jesus as the main thing. I always say it's all about Jesus or it's all about nothing. So whether you're a mother, a father, old or young, a new believer, this is the message. Jesus must be the centerpiece of your life. The most important thing, I think of this third great awakening, still believing for a billion soul harvest. And I hope I'm not putting limits on God there. But the most important thing we can pass on to the next generation is the knowledge of who Jesus is. Jesus has to be normalized in our homes, in our lives. We have to pass on the knowledge of Jesus, their need for Jesus, and who we are, who they are in Him. Because without a head start on this knowledge of the Lord in life, in the home, and in our churches and educational institutions and media and yes, even entertainment, it will become more and more difficult for these young minds to answer the call of God and to serve Him due to the incredible deception of the times in which we live. If you would listen to a testimony, a prophecy of a pastor who wasn't even a prophetic pastor, but he had a profound prophecy, and he did it on television in 1971. And you probably know David Wilkerson saved so many gang members and all those God did through him and all that. But he had a profound prophecy in 1971, and they about laughed him out of the studio and the church and everything else. And he was and he spelled out all the things that are happening today in our culture. And no one even thought it was possible that all the things that are just being normalized now would even be able to be discussed in public or on television on prime time and things like that. And he laid it all out. And it's wild if you saw it because it was so long ago to hear that, and you would think he's talking about today. Great deception. But in the end, yes, we need to talk it up, pass it on, normalize Jesus, normalize prayer. These kids, it can't be strange to their ears. But in the end, this is a choice that has to be made personally. We want to help them, though, don't we? Because in the end, it has to be a personal choice, a free will choice by each and every individual. Make no mistake, no one will have a legitimate excuse for rejecting Jesus on the day of judgment when they stand before him. No one. Joshua said something in Joshua chapter 24. It's a sign I have in the entryway of my house. And I can't tell you how many times I stopped there and I say, Lord, forgive me for any hypocrisy. And help me to fix it. But Joshua was talking to all those who were following. And he spoke out to them, and it's something quite interesting. He said, Hey, I'm putting it in Texan. Hey, listen. If it seems evil for any of you to serve the Lord, then you choose today whom you will serve. But in Joshua 24, 15, but as for me and my household, we shall serve the Lord. Now that's my choice. That's my declaration. And I hope that's your choice. I believe it is. But it can't stop there, can it, May? You know what I'm saying? Receiving the Lord Jesus Christ was never meant to be the destination. It was always intended to be the beginning of the new life, the new identity. And it's crucial how we perceive ourselves in Christ, isn't it? Always quoting Proverbs 23:7, as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. So our how we see ourselves, how we see God, how we see things is very important. It matters. A lot of believers still see themselves as unworthy sinners, begging at the feet of Jesus. That's just the truth. But we're no longer on that side of the cross. We are now in Christ, the resurrected King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Hallelujah. We're in him and he's in us. The kingdom of God is within us. We are no longer children of darkness. We're children of light and life and liberty. We are the branches connected to the vine, as Jesus talked about in John chapter 15, verse 5. I'm the vine, you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit. For apart from me, you can do nothing. Pretty clear. Pretty clear. As long as we stay connected to him, focused on him, focused on his word. I have all sorts of little things that I do. Like a barrel full of monkeys up here sometimes. You can laugh. It's okay. I'm still Jesus' favorite. You too. Yeah, I love that. But I picture myself. I'm just a branch. Here's Jesus. I got a lock hold on him. And here's the branch. Without that, without that trunk of that tree, without that vine, this just dies. You see? So I'll never let go. He'll never let go of me for starters. But I'm clinging to him. I'm watching him. And see, this is happening naturally. No branch produces fruit on its own. I got the source though. Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Effortless. Whoever abides in me will produce much fruit. Not can. You just will. You just will. That's who you are. Stay connected. Stay focused on him. Focused on his word, his presence. And give him all the glory. All the glory. I was reading that yesterday too in my Bible. You probably got the same stuff in yours. It keeps you humble and blessed and thankful. Because it says, He who plants and he who waters, they're nothing. Only God who causes it to grow. He gets all the glory. Let him do all the work. You just stay connected. Let him cause that fruit to multiply and prosper. You're a beautiful branch, Bill.

SPEAKER_00 36:46

Evelyn. Amen.

SPEAKER_01 36:57

So stay connected. Bear fruit. Let him live through you. As long as we're there. Focused on him. Then he just wants to live and love and heal and deliver and expand his kingdom through us. But we have to stop seeing ourselves as beggars and start seeing ourselves as who we truly are in Christ. Healed, empowered, loved, prosperous in every area of our lives. And the same love that God has for us, he now wants to flow through us to a hurting world, doesn't he? Now we're getting to mature discipleship. We've already received by faith all that grace that He's provided for you. You've been helped and strengthened and restored and blessed and healed. If anybody's got arthritis or any symptoms of it, just receive your healing right now. Just receive it. It's gone. Angels of the Lord right here just laying hands on you. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Pain free in Jesus' name. Boom. Thank you, Lord. So now we've changed from a thirsty, parched land in need, a dry, barren place. And now we've come come to Jesus and we've drank of the living water. And now we're source. The living waters flow from our bellies now. So we've changed from someone, a beggar in need of a drink to a source, a fountain of his life and love and liberty and peace and healing and joy. Glory to God. That's just our natural response now to the world's need for him. Yeah. To share him. Isn't that a natural response when you really have a revelation of what he's done for you and who you are? Barbara was talking about how it's some people have a really hard time and they can't see themselves watching the crucifixion and the next episode of the chosen that'll be coming out. Some people had the same problem with the Passion of the Christ. I know it was hard for my wife, but she made herself watch it. I think it's important that people do. Because that was you on that cross. And to understand that the God of creation did all that for you. It's not pleasant, of course, but just to. Andrew Womak says he watched the Passion and he was disappointed. He said, I he goes, I had a greater revelation of it before I saw that. He goes, I admire uh Mel Gibson for what he did. He said, but but I saw in my spirit, I saw, and it was way worse. It was way worse. Jesus became every, he took on every sin, every sickness, every aspect of the curse. In Isaiah 53, he describes it better than anywhere in the New Testament. He says you couldn't even recognize him as a man. It wasn't this peaceful Jesus just resting on the cross, like you see in some photographs. And I understand, you know, never mind. But we just want to share him. We want to share his love because as he is, so are we in this world, the Bible says. Do you see yourselves as Jesus? Now, I mean, we we understand we're the branch and he's the source, the vine. But he sat down, he gave us authority, he gave us a charge, right? To go and build his kingdom. And so if you see yourselves as just a desperate need and you have to beg God. See, but God's God said that and they're like, you're like, Lord, do this, do that, do that. And the Father's just pointing to Jesus, saying, He already did. He already did all that. All you got to do is believe and receive. It's all in your account. Amen. Jesus expressed the very heart of the Father when he entered into the last week of his life. The last week of his life here on earth before his crucifixion, when he entered into Jerusalem. Just to give you another picture before we done here today. Remember when he was entering into Jerusalem? I mean, there were palm branches and celebrating and all that stuff, but Jesus already knew what was going to take place. And there were some hypocritical, judgmental Pharisees and so forth there as well, and looking around at all those religious leaders and the people of Jerusalem. You remember Jesus? Because all of them, they had rejected all of the prophets that were sent before him, killed them, you know. And they were doing about to do the same to him. And yet he still loved them. Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, he said. How often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings. You see the mother's love again there? And you were not willing. See that in Matthew twenty-three, Luke thirteen. It just another picture there of God's longing, his compassion, his love and his grief over Jerusalem's rejection of him and the consequences because of it. He said, But you were not willing. We have a free will, don't we? God did that for us because he didn't want a family of robots. He wanted children that would choose him for him, knowing the pain it was going to cause him. So we're free to reject the grace of God. Like a mother hen gathering her chicks, God has a great desire, a longing to protect and comfort us, doesn't he? And to draw people safely to himself. You see that? Knowing the tragedy that awaits them if they don't. Think of a mother. Some of you may know this feeling. I think so. You definitely know many others who do. But a mother that has a child and they have to watch that child throw away their lives on drugs and alcohol and other terrible things and unbelievable things in the days we live in. And how painful that is. Hard to bear to watch that child. And they pray and they beg and they just want to do anything they can to help that child, to save that child, but you can't save anyone. God hears your prayers, though. Amen. So in closing here, I just want to point out, so here we are. The church. Jesus' true family. Isn't that what he said? Some of us, and I'm speaking mainly of myself, are the very foolish and despised things of the world. That Paul mentioned in 1 Corinthians chapter 1, verse 27. But what else does it say about those foolish and despised things? That God has chosen those to work in this great harvest of souls in these end times. Oh, aren't we blessed and thankful? I'll never get over getting saved. I don't know why he would choose someone like me. I sure am glad though. He doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called. Jesus was talking to Paul, and Paul asked him to remove that demonic oppression, that thorn in his side that bothered him in every town he went to. Paul would just go into a town and go straight to the jail and check in for the night because that's where he's going to end up. But Jesus said to him, He said, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Thank you, Lord. Neither the one who plants or the one who waters is anything, only God who causes it to grow. He can use whoever he wants. Listen, you're not defined by your scars, you're defined by his. Turned the water into blood, didn't he? And everything died. The first miracle that Jesus performed was at a wedding in Cana of Galilee. That was the first recorded miracle of his life and ministry at 30 years old. Three and a half year ministry. And he did more in that time than will fill the books of the world, John said. Couldn't contain it. So don't ever think it's too late. But Jesus turned. He undid that, he reversed that curse, didn't he? Instead of turning the water into blood, he turned the water into wine. And his mother's words are still the best advice anyone could ever give you. In John chapter 2, verse 5, his mother looked at the servants and he said, she said, do whatever he tells you. Do whatever he tells you. If you'll just do whatever Jesus tells you, your life will be blessed, your family will be strong, and the kingdom of God will advance through you. I really believe that. Can we just have a renewed commitment to that, to the Lord, regarding our commitment to help expand the kingdom of God, to hold on tightly to the to the tree, that we will bear much fruit in his name, to the glory of God the Father and the Son Jesus Christ. And to know the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Anyone else? Praise God. Well, listen, if there's if there's anyone listening or watching that has never received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you've heard this message today, and you say, I know that's real now. I don't know how, but I know. That's God pulling you in like this. And what he wants you to do now is say, Lord Jesus, I believe that you are the Son of God. I believe you came to earth, lived a sinless life, that you laid down your life for me on the cross. You bore my sin. And on the third day you were raised from the dead, and you live today. I ask you to be my Lord and Savior. Amen. If you said that prayer and you meant it, you better promise to meet me in heaven. I love you all. God bless you. Happy Mother's Day. Heavenly Father, thank you so much for this time together with your children. Thank you for blessing everyone who is here and everyone who hears this message. Bless them in every way. Help them, Lord. Heal them everywhere they hurt. Empower them by your promises and love and peace and guidance. Help them to have a revelation of your love for them, that they may love others with that same love. And prosper them in every area of their life, that they may be blessed to be a blessing. In Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you all. I love you.
