The man in the middle.
Let me open up our time together by asking you a couple of questions.
Question number one why did Jesus come to earth?
Question number two what was the result of Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross?
Question number three what did that sacrifice do for us, and what are we to do with that?
I have found out that I often learn more by someone asking me a question. Questions will stimulate a part of our memory that we don't visit very often.
But most importantly, it allows the Holy Spirit to teach us by revelations. Remember, Jesus said that one of the primary functions of the Holy Spirit is to bring things to our memory that he has taught.
Those of us believers know that Jesus came to earth to return the human race to the father where their original home began.
Sacrifice on the cross sealed the deal. Jesus became the final sacrifice in a long series of lambs that were slaying; he was the one that made it work.
Because of his sacrifice on the cross, we now have access to the father through his name. He told us that after the Holy Ghost came, we could ask largely in the name of Jesus, and the father would respond.
But of course, that's not the end of the story; what are we to do now that we have been redeemed?
A considerable slice of the modern church is sitting around waiting for the rapture bus so they can go to heaven and have peace and safety and long life.
However, if we remember, one of the essential things that took place was that Jesus became the firstborn of many sons.
Scriptures tell us in first John, "as Jesus is, so are we on this earth."
He also told us that we could go out and do great exploits because we have been made in his image, which enabled us to do what he did.
Jesus was the man in the middle.
If we have been made in his likeness, you and I are the people in the middle.
We stand between heaven and earth and have been commissioned to bring men and women back to the father just like Jesus did. We have been authorized to be intercessors and ambassadors, and advocates so that others hear the message that the sacrifice of Jesus has redeemed them.
Be that person in the middle this week for someone.
Be that one that throws out the lifeline and rescues that misinformed person who has not heard the report that they have already been forgiven, come home.

You will go where you're looking.
This year I celebrate over six decades of active ministry. And in those years of walking with the Lord, I have worked in various positions of service. You might say I have worked myself up from the mail room to the chief executive.
In the church world, we would say I cleaned toilets and swept the floor, and also served as senior pastor. In quite a few of those years, I did both simultaneously.
Among the duties, I had the privilege of counseling people about their lives and the future they wanted to see God help them. I've experienced everything from the sublime to the ridiculous; and from the joyous to the sorrowful.
A question I often heard was, "Pastor, how did I get here?" Most of them had no clue as to why their life was in such turmoil. When I spent time with them, I found that they were precisely in the place they had their eyes on.
Why?
Because of the biblical principle, you will go in the direction you're looking. And you will become what your eyes are gazing on.
In the book of Hebrews, the 12th chapter and the second verse tells us that we are to look at Jesus.
When sick people often came to Jesus to be healed, he would tell them to look on him. That sounds like such a curious thing to ask someone if there must be a reason.
Think about it. When they came to Jesus, they knew he was a healer because of his reputation in the city. When they looked at him, they took their attention off their sickness and fashioned it on the answer; Jesus.
Because of the law of God and nature, you will always go in the direction you're looking.
"Looking onto Jesus, the author, and finisher of our faith."

Living from the past, not in the past.
In the mid-1970s, we were on an amazing pastoral team in Southern California. It was one of the most riveting times of our life as we entered into the emerging charismatic movement. The church we were invited to be a part of was the epicenter in its region, and all nine of us pastors were up to our eyeballs, discovering things about God's kingdom that we had never experienced.
Coming out of the northwest, we're even the thinking in the church was much different than what we had come into blew open the doors of revelation and set the course for the next season of our life.
One of the most fascinating things we were introduced to was behind the scenes in the new Christian television station. Our senior pastor was a popular speaker, so we followed him into those places that we could never have gone.
On one such occasion, I met a singer-songwriter that was going to be on the program and listen to his testimony. At this point, he had written over 1000 songs, giving you an idea of why he was so popular in the Christian world.
Something you said that night had impacted me all these years. They ask him if he memorized his songs did he know them by heart. I was surprised to hear that he didn't, and here was the reason.
"if I memorize the song, I would not be able to write new songs because my mind would be filled with the old ones."
Living in the past, where your mind is filled with all the good and bad memories, will stop you from creating new memories that God has planned for you.
This is why I say we live out of the past, not in the past.
Because it is those things that have happened to us in the past that are the foundation we build our life on.
In reality, you are a product of the life you've lived.
One of the most precious things we receive from God our father is that we have been redeemed, cleansed, and forgiven from past deeds so that the good seeds of the past will grow up into a harvest that blesses the father's heart.

Gateway number 23-come in with me.
I have been talking to you for some time now about the Bible being a gateway book, and when we open that book, we can go into the mysteries of God.
Also, there are unique spots throughout the book that seems to be a more excellent Gateway than others. When you meditate upon them, heaven opens up before your spirit and takes you into places you've never been.
The 23rd psalm is one of those vast gateways; when we go in, we become connected to every part of the Bible.
Psalms 23 seems to be a Melchizedek psalm; it has no beginning or end. Every line has technology that takes us to the great truths in the kingdom of God.
In verse one, I have no need. Because God is my shepherd, I shall not want.
In verse two, he makes me lie down in green pastures where I find rest in peace.
In verse three, he restores my soul because he continually refreshes me.
In verse four, even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me. Death is nothing more than a shadow; I am immortal.
In verse five, when trouble comes my way, he spreads a table out for me; total supply, from the simple needs to complex ones.
In verse six, I live in two different worlds; because I will dwell with him in his house forever. I have an earthly journey, and at the same time, I have been supernaturally transported to a heavenly realm, and currently, I'm seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus.
All of this starts with union with him. He is my shepherd.

The Hot Gospel. It's so hot that it will melt the hardest heart.
Today I found myself caught up in a whirlwind of information and began to feel the air leaking out of my soul. Everything I was hearing was terrible news and declaring that the world we know is going to collapse and fall apart.
It wasn't long before I got a hold of myself, and like Samson, I shook myself and remembered who God is and what his plans are for us as people of God. I also begin to remember the promises he made to our forefathers, those who established this nation that we live in.
When I remembered who I was and came to myself, I remembered my father and his house and how many servants he had that were totally supplied because of his great abundance.
One of the things that the doomsday people want you to believe is that this is the most terrible time America has ever had. Unfortunately, this is a byproduct of our failing education system, and those who go through it become functional illiterates.
In the church and the society around us, if you ask questions to the youth about our history, you would be hard-pressed to find someone who had a grip on what has gone on before.
We have come close to losing this nation several times, and God has intervened because of his promise and the design that he has for us in our future.
We had had riots before much more severe than we experienced these last years. We had had floods, famines, and tornadoes long before they invented the global warming con game.
We have had a Civil War and two world wars. Plagues of all sorts have ravaged our nation from time to time, yet here we are still functioning and going forward.
The key ingredient to our success is the gospel of Jesus Christ which I referred today to as the Hot Gospel. We have had revival in this nation to a magnitude you and I have never seen. One of them was before the revolutionary war, the second great revival was just before the Civil War, and another great awakening was just before the second world war.
Today I'm referring to that as the Hot Gospel. When you turn up the burner, you can melt any heart, no matter how hard.
So be encouraged, dear friend; there's Victory in Jesus.

Jesus plus me equals three. That's a strange statement to open up the discussion of Christ in me, the hope of glory. The union of the godhead with the human race is a mystery that is still unfolding for the Christian church. We teach it to the limit of our knowledge, yet knowing something is being revealed today that is causing some to catch their breath in shock and others to rejoice because of it.
When I was a young teenager, my father brought home a stack of books by EW Kenyon that began to open up to us that mystery of Christ in you. A few years later, an evangelist came through our church and taught about being in Christ and Christ in you, and it changed my life and understanding of my relationship with the father.
In the book of John, chapter 17, Jesus prays for his disciples and, in doing so, prays for every man and woman he has redeemed. Three statements stand out in this chapter concerning his prayer for you and me.
In verse three, Jesus gives us the key to eternal life: knowing the father and Jesus the Christ. This is not the case of just knowing about God but having a relationship with him through his son.
The second statement Jesus makes is in verse 11; he states that they may be one even as we are one. In this statement, Jesus gives us a look into how the kingdom of God operates and that we are intertwined with the father and his son so much that we cannot be separated.
He adds to that prayer in verse 21 when he says that they may all be one even as you father art in me and I in them that they also may be one in us that the world may believe that you sent me.
The third statement is so powerful that he closes with his prayer with it in verse 26 and tells us that the love of God has been put within us. We are not just converted, born again, or saved; we have been made one with Christ, and in doing so, we have been made one with God.
As a result, the very essence of God, which is love, is now in us and through us.
The result of love is that men will be drawn to the father and find fulfillment in him.

My most urgent appeal to you in the Lord is this you have nothing in common with the folly of the empty-minded masses; the days of conducting your lives and affairs in a meaningless way are over. ( mirror Bible Eph 4:17)
The plea that the apostle Paul made to those in Ephesus is the same one I made to you today. What has happened to you and me at the cross and resurrection is beyond comprehension. As the scriptures say, the natural mind cannot comprehend what the spirit has done; it takes a spiritual revelation from the Holy Ghost.
The apostle Paul said our minds had been blinded to the truth that God has redeemed us back to himself. Because of that, we live in the darkness of our minds which causes us to live in the lust of the flesh and the pride of life.
It's only when the light of the gospel breaks through that darkness that we see we have already been redeemed back to the father through Jesus Christ and his work on the cross.
No wonder the Scriptures tell us to let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus. We cannot intellectually understand what's happened; it must be a spiritual revelation called the mystery of godliness.
How does it work? Pray for the prayer the old boy did in the New Testament.
Lord, I believe help my unbelief. When you do, heaven will move in on you, and you will be amazed at the understanding that begins to come into a mind that had been darkening by unbelief, ignorance, and not knowledge of the scriptures.

Good intentions versus God's will.
To be like Jesus certainly must be the highest goal for any serious Christian. And I suppose there are various lists of important things it would include. Some would say the most important thing would be to heal the sick others may consider feeding the hungry or helping the poor.
However, I would suggest that you consider the most important thing to be like Jesus would be to obey the Father's commands that he has given. Jesus himself stated that he did nothing but what he saw the Father do, which indicates that he had his eye on his Father's every move and followed it closely.
You and I, as sons and daughters of the Father, have the same opportunity to be obedient to his will. But how do we know the will of God? We have great ideas and passionate plans but are the gods will for us?
I am convinced that there are many things God doesn't care which way you go or how much you do it. After all, he gives you self will help so that you can guide your life according to your conscience.
The two rules that are in effect Jesus gave to us as he was teaching. Love the Lord thy God with all your heart, soul, mind, and neighbor as yourself.
Good intentions or God's will, you can only really know which one is right for you if you spend time in his presence.

Owe, no one anything but love because love is the fulfillment of the old testament law.
When we look at this verse in Romans 13:8, we see two subjects, both of them essential to our ongoing life in Christ.
The first subject is a major one that affects our life in 100 different ways. That's the subject of living debt-free. Paul said to owe no man anything but love. It's an interesting pushback that you get from most people in this society that when you speak of living debt-free, you have to be kidding me, they say. We have been conditioned by the banks' credit card companies etc., to live on credit. Just charge it; they say everything else will be fine.
But everything is not fine when all the bills come due, and you find out you don't have enough to pay the man. Most of us that have lived a while have learned the hard way not to go into debt. The scriptures tell us that the borrower is a servant to the lender.
If you don't think that's true, don't pay your credit card this month and wait for the phone calls to start coming. If you wait another month or two, the threats will follow.
So Paul said don't go into debt; the only thing you owe to this world around you is to love them.
The second subject is the one of love and that it fulfills the law of God, especially the 10 Commandments. In short, when you love, it's impossible to steal , kill, commit adultery, or be greedy. So that pretty well wipes out the 10 Commandments.
No wonder Jesus gave us only two Commandments; love the Lord your God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. How simple can I get? Just love one another, and life becomes so sweet.

Road trip with God-you don't know where you're going, but you're having fun.
Sixty-four years ago this summer, I left home for the first time to work in a revival meeting that my sisters were conducting in Coos Bay, Oregon. I was raised in a pastor evangelist home and was involved in the gospel ministry in some aspect all my life. Everything from carrying the instruments in and out of the church to singing specials and, at the age of nine, I preached my first sermon.
So I've been traveling with God for quite a while. And when I'm doing it right, I have no idea where I'm going and what I'm doing because he's got his hand on the wheel. When I'm successful, it's when I'm totally relaxed, knowing that he will guide me each step of the way.
I have a built-in barometer that signals me when I'm in the flesh or my own works because I become fruitful and nervous when trying to steer the car.
For the first 15 years of my life, I traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, utterly unaware of the effort it took to get there and, most often, how to get there. I had total confidence that my dad knew where he was going, so I would go to sleep in the backseat or play some game with my sisters as the miles went by.
The lessons that I have learned over the years as I've traveled with my heavenly father is that as long as I rest in his faithfulness, we will always get to our destination on time and in good shape.
The key to enjoying the journey with God is resting in his presence and drinking at the cup of his joy. I have found out that when it's time to make a change or take a break on this journey we're on, he will always let me know.
So my dear traveler, enjoy the trip and have some fun; there are some tremendous spiritual, historic sites coming up.
