For Those Who Run Part 7 John 15: 9-17

9 As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you;abide in My love. 10 If you keep Mycommandments, you will abide in My love, just asI have kept My Fathers commandments andabide in His love.11 These things I have spoken to you, that My joymay remain in you, and thatyour joy may be full.

12 This is My commandment, that you love oneanother as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hasno one than this, than to lay down ones life forhis friends.


3/21



14 You are My friends if you do whatever Icommand you. 15 No longer do I call you servants,for a servant does not know what his master isdoing; but I have called you friends, for all thingsthat I heard from My Father I have made knownto you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose youand appointed you that you should go and bearfruit, and thatyour fruit should remain, that

whatever you ask the Father in My name He maygive you. 17 These things I command you, that youlove one another.

Last week we spoke of our position in Christ.We spoke of co-laboring with God, beinginvolved with His mind and Eternal purpose

for the church and for us as individuals.

John 15:4 reveals a change of status for thebeliever. The relational term of friend, from a

mindset of disobedience to a mindset ofdisappointment. Our attitude and heart relateto how my decisions are affecting heaven.


5/21



Our slogan for last week was?

If it matters to you, It matters

to HimI want to put you in the right frame of mindconcerning the kingdom and the work of the

church. You are chosen in Jesus, that youshould be a person of influence. Influence thathas the power to change a culture.

Historically God has placed men in heathencultures to change them for the glory of God. Theimpartation of the word of God changed and

turned heathen cultures upside down. Consider the life of Joseph.. Many of you have

ask the same question that Joseph probably ask,What am I doing here? Why am I living in this

time? I am one of my fathers favorites. Godneeded His chosen in Egypt to turn this familyinto His nation.

Genesis 45:4-7 (King James Version)

4And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, Ipray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Josephyour brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

5Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves,that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you topreserve life.

6For these two years hath the famine been in the land: andyet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be

earing nor harvest.

7And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterityin the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

What about Daniel?

Daniel 1:8-9 (King James Version)

8B

ut Daniel purposed in his heart that hewould not defile himself with the portion ofthe king's meat, nor with the wine which hedrank: therefore he requested of the prince of

the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

9Now God had brought Daniel into favour andtender love with the prince of the eunuchs.

Daniel 1:20 (King James Version)

20And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, thatthe king enquired of them, he found them ten timesbetter than all the magicians and astrologers that were

in all his realm.

Daniel and his companions refused to beimpacted and give their culture credit for who

they were. God placed them there to impact thefuture of the world. You are here because Godwants to impact the future of the world throughthe church.


10/21



God has placed us here and you have to make thedecision not to defile yourself. The only way tonot defile yourself is to first know your

identity, second, place your desires in theright place. We are on the other side of thecross, the old you is dead, the new you is holy.Quit allowing yourself to be governed by thissystem and the influence thereof. Align your

desires with heaven and take your place in thiscalling of the church. We talk way too muchabout the dead instead of the living

12/21



How would you like to know what God is doing? You canand will when you align your desires with His heart.

John 15:15 (King James Version)

15Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant

knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called youfriends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I havemade known unto you.

Many say, How can I know Gods heart, His Word reveals

His heart, and the part that we cant understand, He hasgiven us the Holy Ghost so that we can know. God isunveiling His heart to this generation.

1 Corinthians 2:7-9 (King James Version)

7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained

before the world unto our glory:

8Which none of the princes of this world knew:for had they known it, they would not havecrucified the Lord of glory.

9B

ut as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor earheard, neither have entered into the heart ofman, the things which God hath prepared forthem that love him.


14/21



1 Corinthians 2:10-12 (King James Version)

10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: forthe Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of

God.

11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save thespirit of man which is in him? even so the things of Godknoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12N

ow we have received, not the spirit of theworld, but the spirit which is of God; that wemight know the things that are freely given to usof God.

Daniel 2:19 (King James Version)

19Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a nightvision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

Daniel 9:2-3 (King James Version)

2In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood bybooks the number of the years, whereof the word ofthe LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he wouldaccomplish seventy years in the desolations of

Jerusalem.

3And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek byprayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth,and ashes:

The Mystery.

God is not hiding things from me,

but God has hidden things for meIn my life in times of intense seeking and study I

have become fearful because if it was a mystery,

how come I was understanding what God wastalking about Now I understand


17/21



I understand what Paul didnt understand, He said, he knew in partand prophesied in part, but when that which is perfect is come, thatwhich is in part will be done away with.( 1 Cor. 13) This generationis coming into spiritual perfection, I have witnessed the birthing and

the struggle for this calling for some 30 years..

The gates of Hell will not prevail against His Plan

God works in time slots, sections of time according to His eternal

wisdom. All the technology that has been birthed is because He hasordained it in heaven. Hear this today, our time is quicklyapproaching, not the outcome of world events but the gloriouschurch without spot or wrinkle..

Let me give you the flow of the Holy Ghost, askand ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened.

Proverbs 25:2 (King James Version)

2It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but thehonour of kings is to search out a matter.

Matthew 13:11 (King James Version)

11

He answered and said unto them,B

ecause it isgiven unto you to know the mysteries of thekingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.


19/21



This counsel of God is hidden for those who will

hunger, and eventually hunger becomes

desperation

John 2 Mary

Her desperation moved the future into the

present.

Hearts matter to God, it is why that many of youare here, your conduct and your response hasnt

always reflected God but your heart is after Him


20/21



David understood these things.

Psalm 51:10-11 (King James Version)

10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a rightspirit within me.

11Cast me not away from thy presence; and take notthy holy spirit from me.

Psalm 51:16-17 (King James Version)

16For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it:

thou delightest not in burnt offering.

17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a brokenand a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
