His mother was an incredible blessing in my life. Let's all be welcome, let's celebrate and we're glad you're here. Pastor Kimberly and Tanya Ray bless you, they say you know you have family among the Apostolic Church among the Paw, those are our new sisters, you all treat them well. I need to rush into the word of God because I am very excited about what God gave our Bishop and what I ask of him is that he does not take this pipe lightly that he does not miss a session or service because of what God has given him to a Bishop Wagner um, I'm just excited about the concept, the idea, the reality. to capture capture holy time and my task is to lay the foundation to provide fundamental and foundational truths so that as I describe and prescribe to you uh this capture of Holy time you will know what to do to make it happen.

Almost today at the anointing of a teacher I do not apologize for that but because what is going to happen here this weekend is so critical that you have to understand this, I tell your neighbor you have to understand this, the problem is not. The problem with the reality of the church is that we have been celebrating shouting rejoicing uh getting happy running around the church speaking in tongues about what God has done for us since the last time our worship and our praise is about what the last time Rejoice in what God did last time last time He healed Last time He delivered Last time He delivered Last time He made a way out of nothing Last time He fixed our family Helped us children We are rejoicing the last time while we wait for the next, but the problem is that we don't know what to do in the meantime, so my responsibility here at Pitt is to help us clarify what we need to do in the meantime so that there will be the next time God's word for us. us and I'm going to recapture the holy time will be found in John chapter 11.

I need you to go there with me and we'll see what the spirit is saying to the church, uh, when you have it let me hear you say Amen let's go there John 11. I want read verses 43 and 44. John 11 let's start at 40. our foundational texts 11 40 says Jesus said to her he said I am not for you nor did I do it I'm not telling you that if you could believe then you should see the glory of God. Let me tell you that again, if you could believe this then you could see the glory of God. Remember the world says you have to see it to believe it. but in the Kingdom you have to believe it so you can see it go to 12 and 9. many of the people of the Jews then knew that he was there and they did not come because Jesus saved Jesus alone now the original text says that they did not come alone to see Jesus, but they also came to see Lazarus, who he had raised from the dead, uh, just throw it out there, there are some people who come, they don't come just to see Jesus, but they come. coming to see if the gods you serve do more for you or not the god you serve if this God can do some things for you that other gods cannot do finally in our Church verse 12 I want you to go to verse 20 23 in chapter 12 and we're going to put this together for you as we use our time and Jesus told them saying the hour has come, the hour has come that the son of man must be glorified, truly, truly I say to you, except corn. the wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone but if it dies it bears much fruit verse 28 father, glorify your name then a voice came from heaven saying: I have glorified it and I will glorify it again my thought I want us to focus on chapter 11 verse 40 that says if you believe then you should see the glory of God if I believe then I will see the glory of God in consideration uh just for the tape Ministry doesn't really have a theme but just for the tape Ministry uh my my theme is the process of your glorification the process of your glorification uh understanding that if the church should be happily glorified if there is to be the glory of the last house as according to Hagar to No, if there is to be glory in this last house, then every person in this room must participate in a process of glorification that brings them to the point where the entire house is filled with the glory of God.

What do we mean when I say, uh, the process of glorification, understand this clearly, this text has been used many times to illustrate and understand what happens during Palm Sunday many times during funerals and because it has been used as such, we have overlooked an important critical understanding of the paradigm and model of which it shows us The process by which we must participate so that we can be glorified understand what we mean by glorification glory if I can believe this then I will see glory glory means I KNOW this that at some point now by the way that let me just uh uh uh I will give you this introduction this way while I was doing the I discovered that in rabbinic thought the holy time is also called the kingdom of Glory now you must understand that holy time is all like that - called the kingdom of Glory, this is important because as we engage in our own process of glorification, what do we mean by glorification?

Glorification means that you will now witness the visible manifestation of God's power. Glory is the visible manifestation of the power of God. In other words, it has to be visible, if you can't see it, then it's not Glory, if you can't see it, then it's not Glory. I'm going to say this seriously, so you're not going to talk about it, uh. your healing you will be able to see people healed you will not be talking about prospering you will see people prospering even someone did not even have the Holy Spirit said my eyes have seen the glory even the word of God tells us and we contemplate his glory that comes to move in the Holy time that we will be able to understand if you are in it or if you are outside looking in it because if you are in it you will be able to see what is happening in the Holy Time, this kingdom of Glory, this kingdom of Glory, let me, I will explain it this way.

I was in Jamaica a couple of months ago and I looked up and saw the mountains and the mountains were so beautiful. against the backdrop of a turquoise sky and the water sparkled like diamonds and when you looked at it you had to step back and say no one did this except God. I was in the Midwest and I saw the sun shining on the water, but then when I looked up I saw the skin of the people on the top of the mountain and you had to step back and say, "No one made this except God, so It will be in the lives of God's people that when God takes you to where He is taking you and you." You will come out into this new dimension and way that God has for you when people look at you instead of where you have been and who you have been.

Oh, they will be able to say about you even if they don't like you, they have to. I confess that no, I did not do this, tell someone that she is talking about me, that is the kingdom of Gloria. I'm about to intervene. I need someone to raise their hands and say that God receives a glory, this, this kingdom of Glory, this kingdom of Glory. ah the kingdom of Glory then it is the Environment the context uh the participatory element of the Holy Time uh it is what creates the environment the atmosphere for the expression of the Holy Time the fundamental truth of the Holy Time is this if I want to walk in my process of Glory then first of all I must be totally completely absolutely absolutely uh here in the now of this moment I cannot participate in the Holy time yes my thoughts my thinking my attitude my behavior is so connected to my past that I cannot perceive I cannot see the eyes I have not seen by ear what God has in store for us I cannot see what God has not yet appeared what we will be I cannot see that because I am too blinded by what has happened in my past or I am too afraid and have doubts about what will happen in my future if I am going to experience sacred time then my mind has to be totally here my body has to be totally here my thoughts have to be totally here because in Holy time it is when it heals your body it is when it fixes your emotion it is when solve your problem that's where it transforms your mind that's where it breaks the fortress like some add something you totally here in the moment in the in the moment the now the noise of this moment because I can't afford the mess what God wants to do because my emotions are attached to something that will get me nowhere to some practice that will get me nowhere if I don't want to experience the power of Holy time.

I must engage fully with God. Ah, holy time also known as the kingdom of Glory in rabbinic thought gives you to understand that holy time then is not the kingdom from which one could be liberated. I could be liberated I must be liberated uh the holy time is the zone of I am because he is someone said because he is I am in other words I am not becoming in the Holy time I am being I am not going to prosper I I said all of you, the devil, the devil needs to hear you say it, I'm not, it's not, I could have been set free, I'm set free, it's not, I could be blessed like I'm blessed, it's not, I couldn't find a way out of nowhere. is I am the way out of nothingness and then then the Holy time zone then becomes the answer to the question of who is the one that God should use to change the kingdoms of this world to the kingdoms of God which is the who is God going to use oh they have him in the front row they have him in the front row who is the one that God is going to use to tear down strongholds who is the one that God is going to use to break systems and to bring the Holy sister about God , who is the one that God is going to use to bless his own family, who is the one that God is going to use.

Dare I say to your neighbor here, uh, but that's the answer to the question. who is going to be the one to bless you ah and then the holy time produces the understanding that I am it is not I will be it is not going to be it is me standing flat footed declaring whatever whatever the problem is the solution it is not what What you will have to do is who will you be to come? Then we move on to the New Testament to the practical application. What are these people like? uh these I am people how then do they come back?

How were they born? How then are they born? Rabbinic thought said that um, in the place of Holy time, holy time is created. When Heaven and Earth come to such an agreement until there is a Oneness, an intimacy that gives birth to people who have been hidden. let me tell this oneOn the other hand, she did not agree that the Union between Heaven and Earth is so aligned that it gives birth outside the womb of God, it gives birth to people who have been waiting to be released into the Divine Purpose of their birth of Holy time. tell someone she is talking about me tell the person on the other side why they don't believe you quickly practical applications practical application of the fundamental truths of Holy time the kingdom of Glory the kingdom of Glory that needs Glory the visible power manifested of God is not an event is not an occasion is not an occurrence the visible manifestation of the glory of God is a person Jesus that scripture all of you Jesus is the glory of God the word becomes flesh such that when you see Jesus you see what was in the mind of God before the foundation of the Earth when you look for Jesus you will see what God's original intention was when you see Jesus and the Word was with God and the Word was God and we saw his glory the only begotten for the glory of God must become a person where the word of God becomes flesh and when they see you they do not listen to you they do not look at you but when they see you they see the glory now they will not see you you say to someone I dare to say to someone I am the glory of God no no he doesn't share with some conviction tell him I am the glory of God I will continue talking to him tell him mistakes you know tell him a mistake glory of God oh problems and everything I am the glory then then the process then the process the process of my glorification then it is not for me leading to an activity but to a new dimension of what I already am in God, we enter the text for the application of the New Testament enter the text where they come with the word Lazarus sorry they do not say whipping they say the one you love is sick let me say it again no They say Lazarus they only say it here but of course let me let me get let me get to the Apocalypse they say that the one you love has some problems because when I come and tell you the one you love has some problems I wait for you I don't have to tell you love makes you come love ago You stop what you're doing and come to see.

I don't have to tell you everything I love. I can assume because they told you that the one you love is sick. I can assume that he would stop what he is doing and come and take care of business, we are talking about the process of your glorification and we enter the place of Holy time, what do you church people do, what do you do, let me skip all that What do they do when they love? doesn't do what you had to do let me talk to the football on that side looking at me strange what are you doing When love could fix it and love chooses not what do you do When love is the source look at the text what do you do do it when love is the source of your pain I know you can't say anything right now keep looking at me what are you doing what are you doing when love is the reason you're sitting in the middle of your room floor crying your eyes out what are you doing?
