Miracle from the Mud, Part 2

God was in that man but that was a man with a mama crying off in the corner that was a man that was promised that the nations of the world would bow down before him that's right and he couldn't even get pilot bow he had been promised a worldwide Ministry and he couldn't get but 12 disciples that's right he Eagle dead while all around him his church called the temple he was even welcome in it that was his church that the high priest was sitting in his seat and when he went in they drove him out I want you to imagine with me what he thought that day as she kned in the garden can't you imagine that if the memories came in his mind of him walk in on the water that was that was what he's supposed to be doing not bow down in some Garden hiding from the law this was the muddy bone that you grew out of this was the muddy bottle sister Justina that gave you life eternal life had it not been for the destruction of The Man From Galilee had it not been his willingness don't I want you to imagine with me how he looked to the world so much so that his disciples were ashamed of him anybody awake today anybody amen they were ashamed of him do you know after he died do you know what they did they ran in hid they were hiding out of fear what you afraid of that you believe he's getting up in 3 days what you afraid of it's amazing when fear comes how faith is tested it's always tested as your story would tell us my brother at the moment of fear yes out of the earth is when others shall grow yes it's when you're willing to be embarrassed when you're willing to lay your ego down when you're willing to die is when others shall live because of your willingness to die yes because Jesus was willing to die you might have life thank you and have it more abundantly amen he didn't have an abundant life don't you know Jesus did not have an Abundant Life his life ended at 33 years old he died naked his new body displayed to his own Mama but yet where's the ministry I was promised oh Hallelujah that's where faith comes in because I believe as he was dying and the I believe that in that moment he knew that this death would bring about that Ministry because when our Lord shall come to Earth again every me shall bow and every tongue will confess that he is Lord his day will come because his death came first can the rush grow without the mud every great thing comes from the mud where do you think oil comes from come on oh what do you think they got to dig through to get to gold It's all under the mud every great church didn't just pop up if you dig into the history of great churches you'll find the death of thousands that were willing to die for that church to grow they were willing to give up their pride and give up their passions give up their employment give up their degrees give up their jobs they were willing to let their future dreams die for the work of God yes true only out of mud do Miracles come I always wondered why Jesus used mud to heal the blinded eyes and now I know there's a mystery in the mud every great saint of God that you've ever met you look at them they got it all together go back and look at the muddy parts of their life come on and you'll see that their greatness GRE out of their mistakes and their death and the things they lost how the great saints of God grow here's how they grow when they get mud they produce praise when everything falls off of their tree what they do you see let me tell you something the only way that God can prove he's faithful to you is for him to disappear come on how can a s of God testify God's been good to me because he left them many times just like he did Jesus on the cross he forsake you to find out if you're willing to die for him come on that's right true when God goes quiet is when you need to go Loud come on when God goes quiet it's time for you to go loud when you look around and you can't find him remember this the teacher is always quiet during the test oh ah you missed that I got it the teacher always shuts up while the test is going on when God shuts up it's time for you to show out I hope you heard oh yes when God shuts up it's time for you to show out when God gets quiet it's time for you to get loud when God quits doing Miracles it's time for you to let mud be produced in your life when the death is going on you look around in a classroom when it's test time the teacher you you may raise your hand and say teacher what about this question teacher won't even respond teach teacher well how much longer on this test not a word when God is testing your ego and your pride he will disappear from your life that's right there's Jesus on the cross what did he guys saying you know the Last Words of Christ my God where are you why did you forsake me it is only when God forsakes you can you create a foundation of faith that will turn you into a saint that the devil scared of the moment he looks at you now why that's it because the only way you can prove and the only way you can tell some new member of God's church that God is faithful is if you found out on your own that's right that after he left you he always comes amen amen my God lord always only out of the mud the mud of Misery the mud of your sins I look back over my life and my beginning of my life was so full of mud forsaken by my parents left to grow live with a lady I didn't even know and growing up with child abuse so bad that the lady went to prison listen but it is from that mud that mud drove me to a relationship with an unseen God in a child's room kneeling in the corner on hard uncooked rice is how I went to sleep every night God she would make me take my clothes off it Pour rice in that corner hard rice on my little young tender knees make me kneel on that rice and it was there that I met the Lord at four years old when he personally came into my room I'll never forget it till the day I die I've never backslid I've never turned my back I've made mistakes and I've been stupid but when You' seen him face to face you can't go nowhere I hope you heard me once you've seen him face to face you where is there to go you've already seen the beauty of his majesty nothing Compares but from that mud of my life at 14 years old I begin to travel literally the Nations preaching the gospel from 14 years old from the mud of my life that's right and then many years ago almost 10 11 years ago now another muddy part of my life for mistakes I had made choices I had made and it looked like God had forsaken me I'll never forget sitting there with my Bible in a little bitty room nothing but me and God everyone counting down my defeat and my destruction losing everything I'd ever loved as I begin to die in that room as I begin to repent in that room as I begin to confess to God my rebellion in that room I begin to create a Muddy Bottom haha oh yeah yes and in that mud of my shame and my embarrassment from that mud when I got out God gave me greater than I've ever had only from
