Welcome to the Destiny Church and Throne podcast. We pray that stirs you into a deeper relationship with Jesus and equips you to live a heaven-on-earth lifestyle daily. Enjoy. Oh yes, yes, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Come on. As you said, just keep your eyes on Jesus. Come on. Come on. Just keep your eyes on Jesus. Don't disengage. It's not about some man coming up here. It's Jesus. Come on, don't disengage. Oh, thank you. Yeah, come on. I just want to stir you up this morning. If anything, the word that I just want to share, just I hope it can stir you up. Uh to understand that there's no more boundaries between you and Jesus. I hope the word can stir you up that you can truly go all in with Jesus. That Jesus wants all of you. And that he wants you. He wants you. I'm praying that this word can stir you up and knowing that. And all the days of your life, every day of your life, Monday, Tuesday, every day, to know that He wants you and He desires you. He wants to be with you. Nothing you have done, nothing you will do can change His mind and saying, I don't want you anymore. Come on, there's no more boundaries. Come on. The enemy will love to set boundaries in your life for you and Jesus. I mean if you don't know boundaries, what you set a limit between you and somebody. If you ever look up the word boundary, it actually talks about like setting limits, like not overcommitting to somebody. The enemy will love to do that with you and Jesus so you don't overcommit yourself to him. So you don't truly devote your life to him and fully commit to Jesus. The enemy will love to do that in your life. Ah, thank you, Jesus. One thing I love is truly as I, you know, grew grew in worship. As I just, you know, ask the Lord some days, like, Lord, like, man, like I just want to grow in my worship more and more to you. One of the greatest things have helped me, probably the greatest thing, honestly, that has helped me is to understand what Jesus did for me on the cross. It's just to simply believe and understand what he did for me on the cross. Has allowed my life to become a life of worship to him and all the things I do. That's not look at the cross as just some symbol. Or to look at some cross, it's just something else, but it's truly a reality and truly believe Jesus died for me and spilled his blood for me. And all my sins are forgiven. And that he sees me righteous, which means what I'm right. I'm right living because of him, not because of nothing I can do. Jesus truly says as he's alive, what the res what his death meant, it was just three days later why he says, I'm gonna destroy the temple. Three days later, why I'm gonna rebuild it again. And then I mean you think it's very funny, probably like to think like sometimes in that time period you're living when Jesus was alive, like you know, on the earth. It's just funny how like right when he died the veil was torn. It's just funny because you would think, like, man, like why? And just Jesus is simple. He was just showing us, he was inviting us, saying there's no more boundaries. There's nothing that can now hold you back from me. Seriously, like when he died, that was one of the first things that happened on this earth. The veil was destroyed. Seriously, when he died, that is what happened. That was like one of the first like signs people saw to say this was the true Son of God. Was that the veil was torn? I'm telling you, there's no more boundaries between you and Jesus. He's calling you right now, he's calling you this morning. So he's inviting you right now to be all in with him. I love it. I love you know, my favorite story all know. I'm telling you, if you truly believe in the cross and what is done for you, you will have bold, you will have bold worship. I believe people who truly believe in the cross have bold worship. People who understand what the cross did for them, you will have bold worship. You will have a worship that says, God, I want to go all in with you. You will have a worship that says, Jesus, I'm fully devoted and committed to you. It's because of the cross, because of what he did for you. Ah, yeah, let us stir you up to fall deeply in love with him. I love it. I know one thing, um, you know, it's so funny because uh there's a man, uh, a man uh we all know in the Bible, Saul in the Old Testament. Uh he's very corrupted, tormented by the enemy all the days of his life. Uh it's funny because in uh I believe it's in 1 Samuel 10. In 1 Samuel 10 22, it talks about this. It says, When God called him to be king, like I say, if you don't know Saul, like I say, he was very corrupted. Whenever uh God told him to give sacrifices, he didn't. He kept it for himself. He kept the best. The Bible literally says he kept the best for himself. When God said, Hey, you know, give the sacrifice. So when they first ever called Saul to be king, this is the first time ever, they were like, Man, this is the king we're looking for. It's in 1 Samuel 10 22. The Bible says this when God called Saul, he told the prophet Samuel, go find Saul. He's gonna be the next king. You know, it's funny, Samuel couldn't find him. So the Bible says, Samuel could not find Saul. And the reason why Samuel couldn't find Saul, 1 Samuel 10 22, it says, Saul was hiding in his baggage. That's what it talks about. It says Saul was hiding in his baggage. Come on, we know today in this time where people will say I have a lot of baggage. They made a game show about it, honestly. Literally. What does that mean? Like you're telling the truth about them. You're telling them, you know, you don't want to hide in your baggage. You're telling them everything about you. You're not gonna hide in your baggage. But literally, when God called Saul, he told Samuel, hey, go find Saul. It says, Saul hid in his baggage. Today, so many Christians love to hide in their baggage. Why? Because they don't understand what the blood of Jesus has done for them. They don't understand the cross and they're fully what? There's a boundary. Their baggage is a boundary, so what? They're not fully devoted to Jesus. Ask yourself right now, say, God, man, have I been hiding in some baggage in my life? Is there a baggage in my life that I've been hiding in? When there's an area in my life where I'm truly not devoted to you all the way? Is there something in my life that hinders me to truly be all in with you, Jesus? Is there a boundary that I set up before me and you, Jesus? Man, Samuel could not find Saul because he was hiding in his baggage. And I love it. And there's another man we all know. His name's David. Oh man, he was a man after God's heart. It says in 1 Samuel 17, 22, when they say, go find David, they say, go find David. And the Bible says in 1 Samuel 17, 22, it says, David left his baggage. The Bible says David left his baggage. And this was a man who truly was devoted to God. He was far by means perfect. But he was he was devoted to Jesus. He was devoted to God, and he did not allow any boundary to be set up in his life between him and God. So 1 Samuel 10 22, when they call Saul to be king, they couldn't find him. He hid in his baggage. And when they call for David in 1 Samuel 17, 22, the Bible says David left his baggage. And he was a man after God's own heart. He was a man devoted to God. He was far by means perfect. But he didn't allow any baggage to be a boundary for him and God. And what's funny, he brought an entire nation to this belief. He brought an entire nation when Moses was king, when Moses was the main spiritual leader. Guess what? There was a veil that made a boundary before people to come in. But when David came onto the scene, he told an entire nation, let's all worship God together 24-7. He said, Let's all come before God. Why? Because I believe he left his baggage. He was a man that did not want to hide in his baggage. Why? Because he understood who God was. So I just want to encourage you today, don't hide in your baggage. Understand what the crosses did for you. Understand that you can boldly come before God. You don't gotta hide in your baggage. You don't gotta allow your baggage to become a boundary before Jesus. Don't allow something to say, I don't want to fully be devoted to Jesus right now. Because you have you're hiding in your baggage. Come on, check your heart right now. David was a man that said, God, search me. God, search me. We always gotta say that to God, right? Search me, God. Search me, God. Come on. Every day, every Monday, whatever it is, say, dig God, I'm leaving my baggage. If there's anything, just say, God, I'm leaving it behind. I'm not hiding in it no more. It's not a boundary. I set it before you no more. I'm high, I'm I'm leaving it all behind. And go after him. Thank you, Jesus. Come on. Thank you, Lord. And like I said, it's just you have to understand, like I said, the cross and what it did for you. He didn't die because you're some filthy sinner. I'm telling you, he died because he loved you. He died. That's why it says, God's what? So loved the world. I'm telling you, he is in love with you. It's time for us to be in love with him. James 4.8 says, What? Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you. Come on. He's he's I'm telling you, he's madly in love with you right now. I want y'all to get that and understand that and believe it. That he's madly in love with you right now. He wants you. Believe me. There's nothing that can, like I said, there's no more hindrance. Only if you set it up yourself. There's no more, there's nothing between you and God anymore. The cross destroyed anything that can come. That's why I says, What? Nothing can what? Separate you. Nothing can separate you anymore. I'm telling you, the cross has destroyed it all. The last thing I would say, it's uh it's Mary. Um this is takes place at this takes place on the resurrection. Um it's Mary, someone we love to talk about here and teach on about just someone that was in love with Jesus, honestly. But uh Mary, John 29, 9 through 10, it talks about something. It says uh for until then they still hadn't understood the scripture that said Jesus must rise from the dead. And the Bible says the next verse says, so they went home. This was Peter and John, I believe, that you know they came and they didn't understand something, so they said, you know what? We're going home. But there was a lady that stood and stayed and encountered Jesus when he resurrected, and her name is Mary. In John 20, it talks about Mary was standing outside the tomb crying and just weeping, and it goes on and talks about Jesus came before her and gives her a message to go share. I love it because sometimes in our life, again, when we don't understand something, we're so quick to draw back. Sometimes when we don't understand something, we're so quick to be like, I'm just going home. But it once again, this woman named Mary, who just fully devoted to Jesus, stayed and encountered Jesus. Don't let don't let something you say, man, I don't understand what's going on. I don't fully understand the Bible. Blame me, none of us fully understand the Bible all the way. There's still so much mystery God wants to show us. But it's our love that keeps us here. It's our love for Him that keeps us going. Because I'm telling you, when you're not in love with Jesus, I'm telling you, it's hard for you to keep going. It's hard for you to be consistent. It's hard. That's why some people who aren't in love with Jesus, they come to church, and what happens? They just go home. There's nothing they take with them. They're not in love. But when you're in love with Jesus all the way, you're not gonna allow something that just gets like, I don't understand, I'm going home. But you're going to stay, and you're going to just cry and weep. And you're going to encounter Jesus. She was someone that encountered Jesus, so I encourage you. Don't allow something a trial. Don't allow a trial, because so many times we can go through trials, right? Be like, I don't understand what's happening, God. What's going on in my life? You promised me this, you promised me that. And it can eat us and it can steal our joy, it can steal our gaze. But I'm telling you, when you're truly devoted to Jesus, you say, I don't care. I just want to sit at his feet right now and trust him. I trust him. It's hard to trust someone you're not in love with. It's hard to trust someone you don't know. But I'm telling you, he's calling us to have no more boundaries. He's calling us to not hide in our baggage. He's calling us to leave it all behind. And he's saying, Come, draw close to me, and I'll draw close to you. I mean, he says that for a reason. He says that because he's showing us, like, hey. You know, it's like it's like a marriage. You know, my wife wouldn't marry me. She would straight up tell me for like, Will you marry me? She would have been like, no. Why? Because she's not, you know, interesting me like that, right? But that's what God's saying to us. Like, when you say, hey, would you come close to me? He's saying, Yes, I draw close to you. Because he wants us. But like I said, stay, stay, stay at his feet. Don't allow something, a trial, to come into your life, say, man, I don't understand what's going on. This is wild. I should like what's going on in my life right now. Just I'm telling you, when you're devoted to Jesus, you're gonna stay at his feet. And you're gonna keep crying and weeping at his feet. He's gonna keep you there, and you're going to have an encounter with him. That's gonna not just say, Hey, I have an encounter, but he's gonna he's gonna to give you something to say, go tell the others. Go tell the others, go tell them, go tell them, go tell the others. That's what happened. It was an encounter that gave something to her to say, go tell others, because she stayed. Anyway, stand up. Thank you, Jesus. Something simple, something like I said, hope can stir you up to say, Jesus, that I don't gotta hide in my baggage anymore. I don't gotta hide there anymore. Like I said, there's something in your heart right now that can say it's a baggage. I'm telling you. Or maybe you've been hurt before in the past by a relationship, and you're like, man, I'm afraid to open up. Who knows? Open up to Jesus. I'm telling you. He loves you. That's like I said, that's what the cross did. There's no more boundaries. He's not gonna say, get away from me. He's like I said, he's in love with you. So Jesus, we don't want to hide in our baggage anymore. We don't want to be like Adam and Eve when they first sent, and God's like, Where are you? We don't want to be hiding anymore in our shame. We don't want to be hiding anymore because we're feel guilty. But Jesus, we thank you for dying for us. We thank you for spilling your blood so we don't gotta hide anymore. So we can boldly come before you. Father, I pray everybody in this room, God, can have a jealous heart for you right now. I pray right now, God, in Jesus' name, God, everybody in this room would know that you are madly in love with them and you will birth a love in them. I pray, God, nobody in this room, God, I pray that we're not hiding their baggage, but instead they'll just leave it and say, Jesus, I'm going after you. Come on. I pray, God, that we would not feel guilty anymore. We would not set up a boundary, but the veil has been torn. Everybody in this room will understand. It's by the blood of Jesus. Like I said, I pray that they would understand what the blood did for them. The sacrifice did for them. They would not allow a veil to be put up before them anymore, but they would go all in with you, Jesus. I pray, God, right now. Come on, declare that over yourself. I'm all in, Jesus. Come on, I'm fully devoted to you, Jesus, because I love you. I'm not devoted to you because what you can do for me. I'm not devoted to you because I want some blessing or something like that. I'm devoted to you because I love you. I'm devoted to you because I love you. That's why David left his baggage. He had the worst of the worst jobs. He wasn't devoted to God because he can give him a kingdom. He was devoted to God because you were just madly in love with him. God, let us be devoted to you, nothing else, because we love you. It doesn't matter what journey of life we take. It doesn't matter what season we're in. We want to be devoted to you. It doesn't matter if you say, give me all of your give me all of your money, give me all of your wages. The Alabashajar woman gave every single bit she had. Because she wasn't devoted to Jesus because of something she had, but because she loved him. So, Father, we thank you, God. I pray everybody in this room will be devoted to you. And I pray, God, if they're not, they're open up and we try to help them as much as we can, Holy Spirit. We want to be devoted to you, Jesus, in this house. We are a house of devotion. We are a house of devotion, God. Come on. Just say that over yourself. I'm a house of devotion. I'm a house of devotion. I've sought. This is God Himself saying this. I've sought a man to be after my own heart. Come on, will you be that man? Will you be that person that says I'm after God's heart? I'm not after nothing else. I'm not through silver. I'm after God's heart. So, Father, we thank you so much. And as usual, we thank you for dying for us. We thank you for giving everything you have. We thank you for loving us first. So we thank you for that, Jesus. We love you. We're thankful. We're thankful. Ah, in Jesus' name, Amen. Anyway, we love y'all. And like we always said.
