1. You cannot allow what you don't know to change what you Joe to be true.

Regardless of what you experience, God's word is the truth. We have a performance based mentality.

People have rejection and abandonment issues.

Disappointment comes, it's how we deal with it that matters. It will cause you to question everything you believe.

Romans 5:1

Given a right standing with God- we have peace with God, reconciled and forgiven. Regardless of whatever else is going on in your life. You may not feel peace but you have it. Peace with God is not the same as Peace of God.

We question "Why me, God?" because we feel rejected and abandoned.

The love of God you can never earn. But the favor of God- the favor of God-

Vs2. Privilege of favor as his children.

Vs3. Be full of joy now... Knowing that pressure and patience produce unswerving endurance

- We have to learn to overcome.  

Vs4. Endurance, fortitude

Rom 16:17

Mark and avoid those that cause strife

Luke7:19

John baptized John; John asks if Jesus is he in his time of trial; Jesus healed for an hour; be not offended (distrust)

Disappointment will cause us to fall. away. We need instead to come closer.

Bishop Jakes - The Mystery of the Red Heifer

(KJV) Numbers 19:1-6, 10-12

I will not make you unclean and not give you provision to get clean again.

God says save the red heifer for him (rare)

Rarity suggests value- if you want to cheapen something, let it become common (even you)

I'm going to give you the answer before you ask the question.

The heifer was brought to the priest- Jesus was brought to the priest.

God protected him from being murdered because he was meant to be offered up; not murdered. Christ had to be examined.

"I've found no fault with his man"- Pilott cleared him but could not sacrifice him because he was a Roman.

The high priest nodded his head and he cross went from execution to sacrifice.

The red heifer was to be burnt- sin offering. The heifer had to carry the cedar to the sacrifice- Christ had to carry the cross.

The soldier brought him the hyssop. His robe was red (scarlet).

No one can stop you from getting to Christ.

He died outside of the camp. He died outside of the system. Your God is nit locked up in a booth- He will come to where you are. If you repent, He will come where you are.

Think outside the box.

You have a God that works outside the box.

Get outside the box an do something different for God in your life.

The oddity of the red heifer is not in it's life, it's in its death. It's in its ashes. The body changed forms.

At the Last Supper, they think they are sitting with the body, but he breaks bread and says eat.

The red heifer is more powerful in it's death than it is in its life.

I am going to do a new thing in your life.

When the fire stops, gather the ashes.

Anyone would have thought that the value was in the heifer- not the ashes.

What is better about something that has been through the fire than something that has not?

There is something that you learn in the fire that you cannot get another way.

You can't know the power of the resurrection without knowing the power of the cross.

Firey folk aren't always the ones shouting the most.

We are a generation who only see the value in the things that they lost.

Your miracle is in the ashes. Your

Miracle is in what you have left when the fire is over.

God never performs miracles with what you lose.

Are you always looking back at what you lost or looking forward at what you have left.

Looking back- a priest touching a corpse. The reason your prayers aren't being answered is because roughage defiled yourself b touching dead things.

The dead things in your life are killing you. As a priest unto God, you are forbidden from gouging that which is over. Let the dead bury the dead.

You are a priest. You are supposed to live above dead things. You ate a living thing. A glorious thing. A moving thing.

Anytime that you hear a hung is dead, make a sudden change.

You're going to touch a dead thing every now and then- that's why he said take the ashes...

You have a habit of cleaving to dead things

The Red Heifer sanctifies you.

The Power of Perception

Mark 6:1-6

(KJV) Mark 6:4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

:5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed [them].

Perception is everything.

Maybe you've been asking God to change the situation when you really need to ask God to change you to accept the situation.

The danger of a flawed perception.

They were astounded by his knowledge, his wisdom, and his works.

We fell in love with up that we missed the process. When you get good enough, you don't have to say you're good.

If you seek the position before you get the word. When you got it, you just got it.

From whence cometh this knowledge.

You have to take responsibility to get knowledge.

You have to learn beyond your situation.

You can't let your identity be defined by your associates. People will define you by go they met you. You can come from it, but not be defined by it.

Don't pray to go outside the box if you're not going to learn outside it.

Lord I'm available to you- but what can you do?

From whence cometh this wisdom?

Wisdom is different from wisdom. Knowledge gives you the information but wisdom gives you the insight to know how and when to use it.

You may be working hard, but are you working smart? You are supposed to get results. Jesus cursed the fog tree for not getting results. I am supposed to be blessed! I am supposed to be the head!

We gotta find out what's wrong. How can I have Jesus and not win?

Because if God is for you...

When you rise above where people expect you to be, they can't adjust. Because they have built their lived around you staying at a certain place. They are not happy about you getting up.

They were astonished at his works.

Instead of them celebrating, they were offended.

There are people who are offended by you doing well. Even Jesus was astounded- he marveled.

How are you offense by someone who is wise and smart and functional? Because they thought they knew him. They aren't malicious. They are limited.

A prophet is without honor nowhere save in his own country and with his own kin. And that is the greatest shock because that is where you are mist connected.

The two times Jesus applauded people for their faith, neither were church people.

People who are exposed to opportunities and do not take advantage of them are offended by everything.

Lazy people get offended first and ask questions later. Too quick to jump on limited perspective and limited information to think it through.

He gave them a chance but they blew it because of a flawed perception.

In the garden, Satan did not use one demon- he just played with her perception of the situation.

All of man fell over a false perception.

He told the woman who had been bowled over for 18 years: Woman, thou art loosed!

When your perception changes, you move differently, you think differently, you act differently.

Are you missing miracles in your life because you do not perceive the opportunity robbed valuable.

Are you limiting God's work in your life because of a limited perception.

God will meet you on the basis of your expectations. If you expect much, you will get much.

People who value what they have get twice as much out it.

Wonder what would happen in your life if you would change your perception of God.

I don't have time to sit here trying to fit in with you, when the time is now to get in line.

You are getting what you are thinking. If you think that's just the carpenter's son, that's all you are going to get.

All God is going to do is pass by- and almost everyone who got healed, got healed as He passed by.

If you don't want nothing, you won't get nothing.

Could it be possible that you have an outdated perception.

It's not that they don't know him, it's that they get too familiar with him.

Once you become common, you lose the power to do works.

Do you see this as an opportunity or an inconvenience? He moment you see it as an inconvenience, you lose he opportunity. Not because you don't know me, but because you don't appreciate me.

He's passing by.

Enter into the gates with Thanksgiving.

He cannot work in a room full of low expectations.

He that hungers and thirsts shall be filled.

God us the furnace but your attitude I'd the thermostat.

You will get no more than you perceive.

Anything you don't value...
