[Sermon Note] The Glory of the End Time Church
Pastor Lawrence
God is love. If there is anything you need to know today, God is defined by love.
God loves you with an everlasting love. Right now He is loving you.
Praise the Lord. Praise the name of the Lord. In the court of the house of our God
In the house of miracle, in the house of healing, we will experience our breakthrough
He has sworn He will never leave us nor forsake us.
When we come together in an ordain time like this, something good is going to happen.
God has meant for us to come together. God wants us to be together. God brought us together so that He can heal us.
Let your hope arise.
I declare to you, you will experience your breakthrough today!
Isaiah 60:1
Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
This year there will be wars and rumours of wars.
See that you are not troubled.
Don’t have a heart that is troubled and fearful. You are God’s child. God will always set His people aside from what is happening in the world.
When there was flies all around Egypt, there was no flies in the house of God’s children.
There can be plaques happening in this world, but for the children of God, you are protected in the cocoon of His great love.
The Lord Jesus has said, let your light so shine before men.
Sometimes we get to preach the gospel directly. Sometimes we let our light shines through the good works.
Matthew 25:35-40
for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
Everytime we help those who are in need, we are not just helping them but helping the Lord. The Lord identify Himself with people who are in need, in prison and sick.
We are the church. The church is the many members of Christ.
We are the called out ones.
Called our from sins and live a life of holiness.
Matthew 16:13-18
When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
What is the church about?
Church – the key to the kingdom of heaven
Institution of absolute power over the evil.
The gate of hell shall not prevail it.
The church is not defending. We are attacking. When the gate of city has fallen, the city is over.
Don’t be afraid of your enemy. Don’t be afraid of depression or sickness. The gate of hell will not prevail.
Acts 10:38
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
Sickness is bad. Health is good.
Healing all who were oppressed by the devil
Sickness is not natural. It is evil. It is spiritual.
God’s heart is the sick be healed.
Do not be in any way be terrified
We must arise and in boldness and courage.
The church is the house of healing, miracle, breakthrough, freedom!
John 14:12-14
The Answered Prayer
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
We are the church. Greater works than these he will do.
The church is the house of greater works.
You yield for the supernatural because you are supernatural.
You want to lay hands on the sick because it is in us. It is part of us. It is in our DNA. We are the church of Jesus Christ.
Acts 5:14-15
And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.
The shadow of Peter healed the sick.
All healed.
Acts 19:11-12
Miracles Glorify Christ
Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.
Ephesians 1:22-23
And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
It is His fullness fulfil all in all.
We are the house of the church.
One another.
Love one another
John 13:34-35
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
In local church, God will have His ordain leadership
Submit to one another. In the fear of the Lord.
James 5:16
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
We are to pray for one another that we may be healed.
Our prayers avail much in the context of we pray for one another to be healed.
You can pray!
Absolute power. Lay hands on the sick and the sick shall recover. This is the house of the greater works. This is the house of healing! The dead shall be raised!
There will be a move of God so powerful!
We are in the end time church.
We are the end time church. The days are short. We need to know who we are. We are the end time church.
Hosea 6:2
After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.
There will be a revival. First natural than spiritual.
The early church expressed the power of God. The end church will see greater works.
Today we are the temple of God
We are the house of the greater days. The greater glory is on us.
The year of rest and acceleration
Amos 9:13-15
“Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD,
“When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
The mountains shall drip with sweet wine,
And all the hills shall flow with it.
I will bring back the captives of My people Israel;
They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them;
They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them.
I will plant them in their land,
And no longer shall they be pulled up
From the land I have given them,”
Says the LORD your God.
Speaks of abundance.
May 14 1948 Captives of His people Israel were brought back
Natural Israel and has been fulfilled.
First natural next is spiritual.
It is us. We are the glorious end time church.
Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
Our sins are forgiven
Hebrews 10:19-25
Hold Fast Your Confession
Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Stir up – incitement (to good)
Hebrews 10:24
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,
Provoke you to let go. Stir up love
Jesus loves you. Let it go (forgive)
This person wants to hurt you, trust God. The Lord will protect you.
Lets encourage one another. Love and good works. Good works is healing. Pray.
Lets love.
Let the love of God shines through you
Lets encourage and love one another.
Beautiful words flow out of our mouth.
A great house is built on the sacrifice of many.
For where your heart is, there your treasure is
When God blessed Abraham, He blessed Abraham so that he can be a blessings.
The church is the hands and feet for the Lord.
In what you are able to. Even to give to the poor. Be generous. Be giving.
Life is best give when you give yourself to others. Give and give somemore.
It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Give and be blessed.
Let us love one another for He has loved us.
