The Lazarus Effect / Pastor Tim Ross

in red letters in this life you will have persecution, no, maybe not, more or less, the life of the believer comes with incredible benefits and drama, it is all in one if you are going to be a really good believer in disciple. of Jesus you will have some incredible victories and you will have some dark nights, both simply exist for the life of the believer, why did he say that? I was trying to gauge your expectations, I didn't want you to be surprised, hey, you're going to follow me, you already know you're going to die, that's how Jesus recruited, you know, that if you come with me you have to carry your own c

, okay, well, come on, he didn't say, "hey man, we have a hookup group, it's so much fun, he served bagels, it's pancakes so hot on saturdays, your guy is legit right, there's no there's no very fine print with Jesus Jesus it's like If you knew you were going to die, okay, come as it is, he said to Paul, hey, I need you to come with me because I'm going to do incredible things and preach to the Gentiles, right?

We're going to suffer a lot, we're also going to gauge. thinking about our adjustment but listen to this Lazarus

effect

we were we were dead now we are alive it is a beautiful thing it is a beautiful thing we were dead now we are alive we were bound now we are free we were without seats now we are seated and this is what makes us believers filled with the holy spirit that You have a testimony that I have been redeemed the band is already in place the musicians have already taken their positions they will probably begin to play something very lightly any moment now and as we finish tonight I would like you to bow your heads and close your eyes listen.

I love to have fun talking about God's Word because there are so many things here that excite me, excite me, and give me so much excitement. Lots of hope for what He has called us to do. This is the most calibrating book I have ever read in my entire life. The Holy Spirit empowers us to go through things that other people simply would not have the strength or power to go through. Through it he equips us for service, enables us to boldly testify that Jesus Christ is Lord and that God raised him from the dead. The natural result is that the kingdom of hell will become angry and we will be born again in the kingdom of heaven.

Where are you tonight? You went out on Thursday night with temperatures in the teens to hear a word from God, not for me, I speak, but the Holy Spirit speaks, what is he saying to you? I want you to ask that question, Holy Spirit, what? Are you telling me that maybe he is pointing to a grave that you have in your heart and he is saying that he wanted you to remove that stone but you have been ignoring him but I need you to push the stone because I I want to go in there and fix that I want to fix that relationship I want that grudge you've been holding stinks you think that by ignoring it it will go away no no I want to address it I want to turn that grudge into forgiveness and tell that relationship to live again I want to turn that bad habit into a miraculous testimony followed by great habits from a mature disciple that will help you is saying let's pray in a moment and if God was speaking to you through this message I want you to do something very, very simple, without fanfare, without us playing your favorite song to get you in the mood.

I believe that disciples make decisions not based on emotion, but on a response to what God is saying to their heart, if anything. You need to take off if there are still some bandages spinning around your feet, they may be wrapped around your arms, you can't praise as freely as you thought, I just want you to come, so Holy Spirit, I pray that you will draw each person. that needs prayer in response to this message in the name of Jesus. Amen, if that was for you, I just want you to come, if he was talking to you, make this message, thank you, thank you, yes, thank you, thank you very much, wherever you are, wherever you are.

This is a safe place This is a really safe place Come on, come closer, we should all have a good deodorant Listen, I just want you to come in Some of you have been throwing out some things that he's saying Stop it, I want them out of you all a little bit. who have seen the attacks have seemed relentless I just want to gauge you are thinking that you are not going through what you are going through because God is punishing you but the enemy hates you and would love for you to assign it to him The blame is on God.

I feel like freedom will come to us tonight because we will let God into these places, these spaces, and we will give it all to Him. Thank you Holy Spirit, if you still come a little bit You may have hesitated, you said: I'm going, no, just come, if it was you, you were swaying back and forth as if it seemed to me, maybe I've been there before . I've done that before, but I want you to be obedient. the Holy Spirit, if you can do it here, you can do it anywhere, okay, listen, I just want to pray with you all, but before I pray with you, I just want to tell you all that I am very proud of you.

I'm so proud of you, thank you for not letting pride get in your way or your ego getting in your way. If there is pain, if there is pain, we need to address it, this is the best place to do it and I just want to say a simple prayer for you because this is what I know. I know that God will come directly to that space. I know He will come right to that point of need. I know He will come to minister to you in a very tangible and personal way. It's so good. "You all make me very happy, so could you just raise your hands like this in a posture to receive body language?

It's very, very important to me. This is something else that I learned in my training, because if we are like that, we are blocking something but when you open up you just say I'm open enough to receive I'm open enough to receive Let me pray for you God, thank you Hey, the rest of the family, can we all stand up and cover them in prayer this is light this is? fantastic I love it when the Holy Spirit does things like this true this is great your whole family is behind you okay I'm in front of you all your family behind you you're safe you're not protected nothing could come in here and hurt you nothing can come in here and hurt you nothing can come in here and hurt you listen to me nothing can come in here and hurt you he loves you so much you are safe here you are safe here you have not always been safe you have not always been protected but you are safe here you are safe here Holy Spirit , thank you, we can say that Holy Spirit, thank you God, I am very grateful for all these people, I am grateful for their openness.

I am grateful for your availability to be present at this moment. God, I pray that you give them the strength to push the stone out of the way. I pray that you give them the strength to rise up and come out of any bondage. have been on god, i pray they are open enough to let people help them figure it out. God, you have changed our position, we are no longer in the grave, you sat us at a table with you, you have a, I pray that You would give them the courage and audacity to sit at that table with their heads held high.

Thank my Lord. Justice is not something you can earn, it is something that is being given to you. Jesus paid for you to have a good standing before God. Listen, you're fair. You are righteous in this moment God, I thank you and I celebrate what you are doing in this conference and I pray, Lord God, that you will build upon every moment that we are in your presence, remove the layers from us, remove the bondage from us and infuse within us the ability, the strength and your divine grace to be who you have called us to be because yours is the kingdom the power and glory in the unmatched name the only name that saves the only name that heals the only name that liberates the only name that delivers the only name that resurrects the only name would have authority enough to put demons to flight and bring angels to our aid in the incomparable name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we pray that all who loved him would say amen.
