JACK: Did you know that the Bible teaches us that Jesus
Christ himself and the Holy Spirit, praise makes
intercession for us the believer? You might say, Jack,
I've never heard that before. Well, it's in the Bible. The
Bible teaches us that Jesus Christ himself, our Lord and
Savior, makes intercession for us as does the Holy Spirit. This
is found in the book of Hebrews and in the book of Romans, but
more specifically in the book of Hebrews chapter 7:25, listen to
this. The Bible says, "therefore he is also able to save us, you,
me, unto the uttermost." Wow, that's huge. Those who come to
God through him watch, since he always lives to make
intercession for them or for us, intercession is prayer. Christ
prays for us. Isn't this sound kind of strange? Because when we
pray, you know we think about getting on our knees and folding
our hands and praying, but the fact of the matter is Jesus just
simply says, father, regarding the fact, book of Hebrews again
teaches us book of Romans teaches us that Jesus is none
other than our great high priest. He says, father, Jack
needs help. Father Jack needs encouragement. He's my
representative. He's our high priest. And so you want to
leverage that joyful relationship with Christ as much
as possible. Go to him and the Holy Spirit is praying for us
also. What a glorious thing that is. So if you want to hear more
and more about what God wants to do in your life, open up your
Bible and read it and you might want to also add the fact that
we can help you study the Bible. Let's do it now. Let's find out
what God wants to say. So grab your Bible, get out your pen
and notepad and let's find out what the Lord is speaking to
us about because there are dispatch coming from
heaven. Dispatch meaning communicate, God
speaking, God announcing, God proclaiming. Let's get into it.
JACK: John chapter 10:28. Jesus said, I give them eternal life
and they shall never perish. He's speaking to his father.
Neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand. That's Jesus
speaking to the Father again, John chapter 17, verses 2 and 3,
as you have given him authority over all flesh that he also give
eternal life to as many as you have given him, and this is
eternal life that they may know you the only true God and Jesus
Christ whom he has sent. Isn't it interesting that Jesus is
praying in John 17 to the Father in the third person? Did you
catch that? He's praying. He's praying to the Father, but then
at the end it says, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom
you've sent. Remarkable John 16:12, John 16:12, I still have
many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. This
is before he leaves back to heaven. However, when He the
spirit of truth has come, he will guide you into all truth.
For He will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he
hears, he will speak. This is the Holy Spirit who dwells in
you, John 16:5. But now I go away to him who sent me and none
of you ask me where are you going? But because I have said
these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless,
I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away
for if I do not go away, the helper will not come to you. But
if I depart, did he depart? Remember the book of Acts tells
us that as they were talking to him, he just began to lift off
from the earth and was ascended into the heavens and received up
in the glory of God. He says, if I depart from you, I will send
him to you. One of the overwhelming facts, truths,
undeniable realities that I know Jesus Christ rose again from the
dead. I mean think about it. I know he was crucified. Yes, the
Bible says so. I believe he rose again from the dead. I know
this. Yes, the Bible says so, but how do I know that I wasn't
there? Somebody who was there dwells within me. The Bible says
in verse 27, now he who searches the hearts, I love this. He who
searches the hearts knows what the mind of the spirit is. I
want everybody to look at that for a moment. I'm sorry, I'm
kind of pumped up excited about this. Can I just read this to
you? Look to the screens or look at your Bible. Now he, that's
God who searches the hearts. Who's hearts? Our hearts. Knows
what the mind of the spirit is. What an unusual statement to
make. Do you get the connection? Translation, leave it on the
screen. Let me put it this way. God looks down from heaven right
past your skin and bone and he looks inside your mind and he
looks inside your soul and he knows exactly. He knows exactly
what the spirit is saying about the one that he possesses, you.
The born again believer sealed into the day of redemption.
Isn't that glorious? Marked by God. Because he makes
intercession for the saints according to the will of God. My
goodness, you know what's amazing about this? It brings
you so much comfort. You think about sitting back in a
recliner, but then as soon as you realize that it's like, wait
a minute, if this is true, God, what do you want me to do about
this? And he'll say, live the life. Speak the word. Tell 'em
about me. Get out there. Live. Do it and we don't have to sweat
about it. He does it. It's wonderful. Heaven is answering
when we pray, listen, church family, listen. When you pray
and your prayer is in alignment with the will of God, say, how
do I know that? Remember we talked last week, pray,
biblically, pray that the prayer that you're offering is in line
with the will of God, which is the word of God. Once you say
amen, get up and blow the world away. Well you know, I was at
the store the other day and I saw this satanist and he looked
kind of sad. I thought about telling him about Jesus, but
then I thought, maybe it's not God's will. Translation. God was
telling you "there's a satanist! Go get him. Tell him about my
love for him." But you know what? It didn't happen because
your will was done. And so the Lord had to send somebody else.
And sometimes I wonder if we'll be in heaven and it's like, Hey,
how that satanist get up here. That's the guy I was going to
talk to that day, but I wimped out and then somebody's going to
come along and say, don't worry about it. God called me to do it
and I did it, and there he is and praise the Lord. It's like,
oh man I missed that one. Somebody has once said, maybe it
was Chuck Missler, years ago said that he thinks that in the
day of judgment for us as believers before Christ, the
wiping away of every tear has nothing to do with anything
except that the wiping away of the tears when it is revealed to
us the opportunities that we missed. See, we're not going to
be judged by our sins. We're going to weep in heaven on the
day of Christ's judgment, the bema seat, but then he wipes
those away. And I do agree with that because if our sin was
washed away, the Bible's clear. That's not going to be the
issue. So then why are we crying? Oh, my dad didn't make
it. You won't have any memory of your dad. Oh, my son didn't make
it. You won't have knowledge of him. He's not in the family.
Then why are we crying in heaven? I think God, I think God
is going to say, Jack, I wanted you to use you in this way, that
way, here, there, but you said no or whatever it might be.
Don't be like that. How about this everybody and we'll press
on is uh, I'd rather get an A for trying, right? What if I
think it's God and I'm not sure, but I step out and do it anyway.
I'd rather get an A, trying, right? Than an F for just
sitting there. We need to be a little reckless people. Here's a
quote, if it blesses you or not, here's a quote. There's a great
liberty and surrendering to the will of God. We have also been
left a great example of what it is like to surrender to the will
of God in the most impossible situations. Jesus gave us the
ultimate example. We do not need to figure the issue out on our
own, rather Jesus himself gives us the greatest prayer that
could ever have been offered up. It is simply this. Father, into
your hands, I commit my spirit. We always associate that prayer
with the end of life, and I get it. That's one of Jesus's if not
his last words, into your hands I commend my spirit and Jesus
yielded up the spirit. But how about now in life? How about now
us adopting that prayer every day of our Christian lives
starting this moment forward. Father, into your hands, I
commend my spirit. So what does that mean? That means whatever
happens today, that's God's business. Tomorrow morning when
you get up, father, before your feet hit the ground, father into
your hands I commend my spirit. And then put your feet on planet
Earth. Think about it because you've been laying in a bed. You
haven't been on earth. You've been in your Mike Lindell, "my
mattress", "my pillow." And you just, you go from that into "my
slippers" and you say, Lord, into your hands I commend my
spirit. And then after that, whatever goes on, goes on. Who
cares. It's in the hands of God. It's in the hands of God. He's
answering. He's always answering. The Holy Spirit's
work, verse 27. Now he who searches the hearts knows what
the mind of this spirit is. It's not this holy spirit's mind.
It's your mind. So very quickly, Psalm 139 verse 17, how precious
are your thoughts toward me oh God, how great is the sum of
them? If I should count them, they would be more than the
number than the sand. When I awake, I'm still with you. Oh
man, how about this very popular verse, Jeremiah 29, 11 to 13,
before I know the thoughts, this is God speaking, friend. Listen,
if you're down in the dumps right now, if you're fighting
depression, here I have an injection for you. Let's put
this IV drip in, okay? And it's free. God says to you, I know
the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of
peace and not of evil to give you a future and a hope. Then
you'll call upon me and go and pray to me and I will listen to
you, and you'll seek me and find me when you've searched me for
me with all of your heart, his word says that He makes
intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Psalm 139 verses 1 through 6 says, oh Lord, you have searched
me. Hey, that sounds like Romans. You've searched me and
known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up. You
understand my thought of far off. You comprehend my path and
my lying down and are acquainted with all of my ways. Doesn't
that sound like Romans? For there is not a word in my
tongue, but behold, oh Lord, you know it all together. You have
hedged me. I love that you've hedged me behind and before get
squished by God, you know? I got you and laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me. It is high. I cannot
attain to it. Psalm 103, verse 10. He has not dwelt with us
according to our sins, nor punished us according to our
iniquities, for as the heavens are high above the earth so
great as his mercy towards those who fear him. As far as the east
is from the west. So far have I removed our sins from us as a
father, pitties his children. So the Lord pitties those who fear
him. The word fear don't panic. It means to be an awe of him. It
doesn't mean to be scared. For he knows our frame and remembers
that we dust. So good. Isaiah 53:12. Therefore, I will divide
him a portion, speaking about Messiah, with the great and
Messiah shall divide the spoil with the strong because Messiah
poured out his soul unto death, and Messiah was numbered with
the transgressors and Messiah bore the sin of many and made,
oh, there's our word intercession for the
transgressors. Hebrews, and we're almost done. Hebrews 5:7,
who in the days of his flesh, he Messiah had offered up prayers
and supplications with vehement cries and tears to whom he was
able to save him from death and was heard because of his godly
fear or awe. Though he was a son, yet he learned obedience by
the things which he suffered. You know how you're learning
about God, friend? By the things that you suffer and having been
perfected or made complete. This is Christ in the flesh. He
became the author of eternal salvation to those who obey him.
Isn't that awesome? I want to give you a quote by John Locke.
I'm a fan of John Locke. He's amazing. But look at this quote,
John Locke, the people who have no other remedy in this, as in
all other cases where they have no judge on earth but to appeal
to heaven. John Locke was talking about when everything
breaks down in government of this earth, remember this, the
believer can always appeal to heaven. In fact, we want to show
you the flag. See that flag? Appeal to heaven. It depends on
the time of the year, I have that flag hanging on my house.
Depends on what's happening. That's an awesome thing. By the
way, real quick side note, I know you have nowhere else to go
to today so, George Washington as general, those guys had all
grown up reading John Locke and George Washington when he
examined the fact that we were about to go up against the
greatest military of power in the face of the Earth, England.
George Washington remembered this. It's in his own writings
and he says, I want a flag struck to be flown everywhere.
Take the liberty tree that Sam Adams started in Boston. That's
a cool idea. Take the liberty tree and slap it on a flag and
put this what John Locke said and appeal to heaven. That's the
only way we can win is if we appeal to heaven. And Washington
had that struck and put up everywhere. Did you know that?
You should have known that. You go to school here, you'd know
that. Isn't that awesome? Listen, church, you can always
appeal to heaven at all times. I don't think we appeal to heaven
enough. We need to appeal to heaven more and more. And then
I'll just leave you with this. In Exodus chapter 3, verse 13,
Moses said to God, indeed, when I come to the children of Israel
and say to them, the God of your fathers has sent me to you, and
they say to me, what is his name? What shall I say to them?
And God said to Moses, listen, before I say anything more,
didn't we just go through this a few weeks ago about his name? I
made a comment in that sermon of a few weeks ago that, and you
know all the Sunday messages are all the, we teach from the same
book, but the sermons are all different. Depending on first,
second, and third. And I dunno which one I said this in, but I
gave challenge to the fact that if you're a Muslim, you can't
tell me the name of your God. And I asked you, what is the
name of the God of Islam? And you said, Allah. And I said, I'm
sorry, I can't hear you. What is the name of the God of Islam?
What is his name? And you said, Allah. And I asked you a third
time if you were in that particular service. Clearly by
the looks of your face, it wasn't this service. And I said,
no, I'm asking you as a Muslim, what is the name of your God?
Stop telling me God, what's his name? Because you see in Arabic,
Allah is the word for God. There are a lot of gods. It's true.
Whoever your God is, is your predominant thought. Whoever
your God is is your predominant appetite. It's your prevailing
desire. Is it money? Is it surfing? Is it golfing? Is it
whatever? What is it that? Oh boy, I can't wait. Fill in the
blank. That's a God. Could be Titleist, could be Ferrari,
could be rocking chair. I dunno. Could be In and Out, you know.
At least that one's got Bible verses on it. Anyway, anyway,
God says, Moses, you tell them I am that I sent you to my people.
And the Tetragrammaton is this. The name of God is not only the
root yah to salvation that word, but the Tetragrammaton capital
L, capital O, capital R, capital D is also the meaning of the
becoming one. So today, for my life personally, I need
direction. I pray to Yah, who is my L. Who is my God.
Yah is his name. Okay you tracking? And I'm
seeking him for guidance and I pray in his name.
JACK: Well listen, I enjoy Nascar. I enjoy any kind of auto
racing to be honest with you. I often once a week at least,
check on the Formula One updates to see what's going on in the
world around us. Why? Because I just love the incredible
exposure of men doing what is seemingly impossible. Cars
turning at G-Force, it's remarkable to me, and they reach
speeds of well over 200 miles an hour. And you think about a
NASCAR driver, these guys are seconds, if not nanoseconds from
death. And yet they do it for the thrill. They do it and it's
radical and the crowd stands and cheers. Why shouldn't we do
Christianity like that? Listen, Christianity is a nons spectator
faith. We've got to be involved for this thing to work. I've
discovered something over the years. I hope this blesses you,
this fact. You can study the Bible all you want, you can
become a theologian and get degrees in theology. It's not
going to work unless you put what you know into service to
the body of Christ. We don't need any more theologians. We
need people who are reckless for Jesus, as reckless, as Nascar,
as Formula One for Christianity, going for it, just going full
throttle for the glory of God. Listen, we want to help you do
that. We want to help you. So that's why we're here at
JackHibbs.com. All of our sermons, all of our messages are
right here, Facebook, Instagram, the various platforms that are
there are to bring you to a closer walk with Jesus. I have
to be honest with you guys, and I hope you know us by now. We
could all be doing something better. If Jesus isn't real, if
the Bible's a joke, if it's flawed, what are we doing right
now? We're wasting our time. You're wasting your time
watching me. I'm wasting my time talking to you. But if Christ
has risen from the dead and he is, then everything you and I do
to grow our lives up in the faith and to follow Christ at
full speed, full throttle, recklessly for the kingdom, then
that makes it a wise investment. JackHibbs.com. You can find out
more there. God bless you. Until next time.
