Winning Your World Pt. 3

And weakness. See, Paul said I rather boast in my weaknesses. Who does that with a lot of people do they boast in with that? Where the stronger? They both and the talents and, and abilities before I post in my weakness and it and it said now it's hot on it couple months ago, but I want to want to revisit that because it's it's, it's very, very, very, very important to allow God. To to invade area of your weakness.

Areas that we tend to. shy away from Inadequacies are, you know, which we feel like we can't really get to a promising future. Sometimes people they in some areas of their life where they they feel like they feel like that. I feel like you just give up On any possibilities of a hope of a bright future, but I want you to know that God wants to come into those areas. And do the miraculous in your life. Amen, so I'm going to hold that till next week.

Hey, man, but I got a I got had a little bit left. I was just going to leave it alone. But since I have a little left, I'm going to go back over there and finish it Foundation. Scriptures. We're looking at it when in your world. Jesus said go into all the world and proclaim the gospel. This is 44 who class for believers. Hey, man, it's for us. It's not just written is not written to pastor. This is Renee every believer. We have an assignment. And God has been good to you. You want to share it? Jesus Is Awesome.

I said Jesus is awesome. He will change a life. Okay, and we need to go tell this good news. This gospel means good news. Good news that Jesus went to the Cross. He took all of our sins. He took our sicknesses. He took our poverty. Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. He didn't send his God, didn't send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved a man, and it's our job angels are not going to do it. Jesus is not going to do what he gave us the assignment. Amen, and often times that the church is getting a wrong, they're going in and telling people how bad they are and in and what they need. And they need to behave in and live better and so forth of Jesus did stuff different. Like the the woman. Did I give you? The example of the woman at the well last week? Yeah. Let me give you a backdrop. Jesus found that woman in. Midday. I mean, when it's like insanely hot and she's there alone drawing water from the well, I'm giving you like a backdrop. She's there, at that time for a reason, because she was a woman of the street and she was living in adultery. She had five husbands as we went over last week. The one she was living with now, was not her husband, and Jesus. Basically, I mean through a word of knowledge minister to her but it's very interesting and turn to it, but this woman didn't go in the morning. When I went all the others with their, all the other women were drawn water because she was a shame. Ashamed of how she lives shamed of her past. And she wanted to avoid the, the ridicule. I love the other women so she goes when it's scorching hot out. And in Jesus was on a son. He said I need he's I need to go through Samaria. And that route, if you research it, that route that he took, was not the usual route to get where they were gone. He took a detour specifically to minister to that woman. At the well, he was on assignment. And, I mean, he revealed basically there. Stacy said y'all go call your husband and she said, I don't have a husband said you right here at 5 and the one you're with now, it's not, not your husband. So Jesus knew what was going on with it, but yet he didn't scold her.

But instead he said, give me a drink.

He didn't say you need you need to just repent and just stop living the way you live in. My Jesus knew she wasn't living, right? But see, Jesus came to preach the good news.

He announced that in Luke chapter 4, the spirit of the Lord is upon me because he's anointed me to preach the gospel.

The good news. And he's giving out assignment to us. All we got to do. Is it, is it look at him as an example? And it's amazing. You going street corners, if like some Street Preachers bad, they will be at that woman.

Can you imagine?

People don't know some people on the street, don't know what that me, you know, and and when they say when people say they, repent lot of people don't even know what that means. I got a lot. I had a, a post that had like 50, some thousand views and we have like a lot of comments and it was just about what repent means and I should repent, didn't mean to come and ball and Squall only on the author, repent me to change your mind.

If it makes you change your mind.

Not even change your behavior. Change your mind.

and, Repentance goes on and I'll cherish all the time.

You believe her all about something. Believe it. It was God's will to make you sick. Then you find out. It's got God Wants You. Well. Without crying without snotting or anything like that and you change your mind and believe the good news is like, wow, you look, you thought God was mad at you because of something you done when you get a good news to God's not mad at you.

The guy's not condemning you to God, didn't send his son into the world to condemn the world. What follows him around and see how he treated people who were sinners. You treat them with love and compassion and kindness. Just follow what Jesus did.

It was a religious people that they came up behind him and said.

Right. I just like, duh. Those are the well, don't need a physician because this s***. I didn't, call the righteous, but Sinners to repentance. The Bible says, the Common People heard him gladly.

Yeah. But you got to admit, you got a problem. If you going to change it, right or something, I mean, Who is Jesus? Jesus, the toughest on religious people?

He totally said if you if you blind I could help you. He said, but you say you see.

You say you see? So you send her man? They think they need help.

All right. Where did I leave up? Go to all the world and preach. The good news, good news and Matthew 28:19, Go Make Disciples of all Nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, and of the son and of the Holy Spirit, we've got work to do, and this is easy work. Because I mean, Jesus is so good to us and and watch this. It's the goodness of God.

That leads people to repentance.

Romans 2:4, it's the goodness to say, the goodness of God. It's the goodness of God, that leads people to repent, tell people how good he is and people want that that change your mindset. Is that good?

God is awesome and that, but that woman at the well, her heart was open up because of the gifts of the Spirit operating through Jesus. And we have the same Holy Spirit.

Jesus said the works that I do. Shall you do also and Greater Works than these shall you do? A man. I am and we have the same equipment that Jesus had. He said I'm going to send another comforter one, just like me the word another in the Greek me. Just just like me one who will do in my absence. What I would do. If I were personally present with you instead of just having like a sheet. Okay, here's what they might ask me when I when I preach to him. And and and then did these are the objections and rather than that. Let the Holy Spirit lead you. Because everybody's different.

You don't have to go to Africa. Okay, and you know, we support people who administered them in Africa and so far but see when he said go. Go into all the excuse me, go therefore and make disciples in the Greek. That means as you go, everybody's going. As you go throughout your life, make disciples. Now. Here's the whole thing. I don't know how we missed a 2nd Corinthians chapter 5 step down there. Few more scriptures and let you go. All right.

But you know, how long it takes me to do few scriptures, but I'm going to do my best. 2nd Corinthians 5:17.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away behold. The new has come all, this is from God.

Who threw cries reconcile us to himself. Brought us back to himself and gave us? What? The, the ministry of what reconciliation gave it to. Who gave it to us? Gave it to the pastor. No, do you? I mean, I'm not just a Pastime and sheep too. And he's giving me and given you this ministry of reconciliation and he tells us what it is. We don't have to guess that he said that is God was in Christ. Reconciling the world to himself. Not what counting their trespasses against them. That's different. You peeps. See people's preaching on the script on it.

On the street that look like, you know, they need a hug. I mean, it looks angry and mad and hollering at people like you don't know, you know, you don't know who people are. You just hollering at, you know, the Bible says if your mistress, if you're not careful, I admire. The knowledge of scripture that they have that means they will spit out a whole bunch of scriptures with born and whatever I found three rivers festival in Holland and so forth and knowledge in scripture, but actually they were preaching the gospel.

You can put all scriptures in Tolland that people and it's the Bible. But not the gospel.

You got it. Rightly divide, the word. You need to understand the difference between the old Covenant and the New Covenant that we're not in the old Covenant, where in the New Covenant and this is good news. It's nothing but good news.

And here it is. God was in Christ. Reconciling the world to himself. Not counting. You talk about him not coming to church. Who's trespasses? Is he not counting? The world. What? What? He's not holding their trespasses against them know. I know that they need to be safe. I know that but that the messages is not how bad you are. They already know that we need to show them the way out.

We need to see. Why is he not counting their trespasses against them is because Jesus took all of our sins on the cross. He died for the sins of the whole world. Combine that with that statement followed Jesus around in the Gospels.

And see how he dealt with it. Did he count? Tell people how bad they work? Here,, You don't think he encountered some bad folks? But he had love and compassion on him. He gave him the good news. He said, he's anointed me to preach the good news to people.

Where you going to hell? That's not good news.

That's not good news.

How's that make you feel going to hell? Hell is real, but how do I get out?

Tell people that Jesus took all of our sins on the cross, he's not holding the trespasses against them and entrusted to us the message of reconciliation goodness. I don't know why I didn't do that. Let's go to the I want you to see this, an amplified.

You getting something out of this today? Okay.

Almost done.

Amplify.

Here we go. Pick up in verse 18 and but all things are from God who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to himself. Received us into favor, brought us into harmony with himself. That's the gospel. And gave to us the ministry of reconciliation about word and deed. We might aim to bring others into harmony with him. It was God. Watch. It was God personally, present in Christ reconciling and restoring the world to favor with himself. Not counting up and holding against man that trespassed but canceling them. And committed to us the message of reconciliation of the restoration to favor. So we are Christ. Ambassadors god making his appeal as it were through us. We as Christ personal Representatives beg you for his sake to lay hold. Of the Divine favor. Now offer to you and be reconciled to God.

for our sake, he made Christ to be seeing who knew no sin so that in and through him, we might be coming dude, with viewed as being in an examples of The righteousness of God, what we ought to be approved and acceptable and right relationship with him by his goodness. Hey, man, this is worthy. But it's good, you know, woman wrote the Amplified and the nnnnn and the passion and the message. Amen got to be because it's. All right, real worried. But but yeah, speaking of the passion translation, look at this and God made all things new and reconcile us to himself and given us the, the ministry of reconciling others to God. In other words. It was you should have that one on a slide crashing. Okay. In other words, it was through the anointed one that God was Shepherd in the world. Not not even keeping records of their transgressions, and he has entrusted to us the ministry of opening the door of reconciliation to God.

We are ambassadors of the anointed one who carry the message of Christ of the world as though God were tenderly. Pleading with them directly through our lips. So we tenderly plead with you on Christ, but have turned back to God and be reconciled to him.

And that's all are we from from that? So a lot of time, what people's message are are message of condemnation. Like y'all need to stop, sending you need to stop club and you need to stop snorting. You need to stop drinking. You need to stop by blah blah. Don't, you know, that the God is not pleased with that. That's not the gospel. Tell people that that that Jesus purchase your freedom for you.

Couple more 2nd Corinthians, 5:11. These last two, I want to look at from the passion. I want it to and encourage all to be on the lookout. Be sensitive to be sensitive. The people around you and don't just go and you can get in self effort.

When it comes to Ministry, what I mean by that is you can kind of look at people who who kind of look like. They're friendly. But not the weather, not may not be the one. The Lord wants you to minister to. You may want you to minister that person and cusses you out every week.

Don't don't see because cuz we can get into that cuz there's some people that they're ready. They're ready to receive. But sometime, you want to go to the people to friend it. I'll listen to you all day, but they won't do anything. Then I read it. Amen. and, I do good with people that are non-religious.

And I'm a good company. Cuz again, Jesus. They said the Common People heard him gladly.

They called him, you know, the religious people were trying to dog in. They called him, a friend of publicans and sinners.

2nd Corinthians 5:11, since we have those who stand in our in, holy are of the Lord. We make it our passion to persuade others to turn to him.

Man, who did this is no car. You can drive. There's no home. You can build. This is denouement of money that you can have. That would will compare to

The feeling you get when you Minister the gospel to somebody and they receive.

And I'm not talking about all the ways, you feel like it's a failure if they don't, you know, sign on the dotted line. I mean if they don't ask the Lord to come into the life, sometimes the Lord just want you to plan C.

See this is it this is a team sport, sometime you come along and people they're ready to receive because somebody else and plan it. You might be coming along watering on the seat of somebody playing it, and it's still not quite ready to receive the Lord, but you water. But God is orchestrating the whole thing. You just do what you do. What your part is.

I'm going about to visit, don't feel like it's a failure. I did. I said that. I accepted this person with the Lord wanted me to say. Sometimes it can be as simple as it. Like for example, you know, the Lord wants the Lord wants you to know that he loves you.

Some people have a hard time believing that love. You be surprised the number of people that believe that God is mad at them. They got, they've got no. Possibility of a, of a bright future because of the pain that they've experienced because of a broken family because of just stuff in scars. Some people have just given up on life.

We need to give people hope, don't we have hope hope is in Christ?

He is the savior of the world.

I don't know how we missed week. We got John 3:16. I don't know if they still do but you when you watch football, that they bringing up the the thing that at the signs in the John 3:16, and that's awesome. But what a lot of folks Miss is the 17th verse. God, did not send his son into the world to condemn the world.

And again, I got to look at Jesus. We know that I lies are transparent before the God, who knows? It's fully and I hope that we are also well known to your car. What I want you to see here. So if we make it a passion to persuade others, To turn to him. Last scripture 2nd Corinthians 4. 15. Yes. All things work. For your also found a passion. Yes. All things work for your enrichment. So, the more of God's marvelous, Grace. Will spread them or more people. Result resulting in an even greater increase of praise to God, bringing him even more. Glory.

We going to we want to spread the message of God's grace to more and more people. Amen. In a result of a greater. Praise the God, you know, folks? What they going to praise God, that say, thank God for you.

Because you introduced Jesus to me. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen. Thank you, Lord. Everybody, we are close. Heavenly Father. We thank you for your word.
