This is Chad Harrison, and you're listening to Hope Applying God's word to your daily life. Hi, this is Chad Harrison, and I am the teaching pastor of Lake Community Church and have been serving as a pastor for 25 years. I'm also a practicing attorney. This podcast is designed to help you study God's word and find God's will for your life. I pray in the name of Jesus right now that God would open up his word to you and allow you to see him and to know him and to know his will, that you might glorify him and that you might walk in faith and power each and every day, especially today in Jesus name.

Then a voice came from the throne saying, praise our God. Whoo. God's calling for his own praise. Praise our God, all you his who, his servants and those who fear him, both small and great. So who's praising God for this breakdown, for this destruction of. Of this harlot? Everybody. Everybody. That's God's. All the. All the angels, all the animals, all the heavenly host, all the church, everybody. She must be somebody important. You know what I'm talking about?

She can't be Davos, folks.

Okay? Just letting you know. She can't be the bank of England. Y' all following me. I know y' all watch Internets.

I know y' all seen the YouTubes. Okay, all right.

Bigger than that.

All right?

There might be a.

They might.

There.

There might be a Sasquatch, but it ain't the Sasquatch. Okay?

Just letting you know it's bigger than that. He says, and I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude as a sound of. So that's who. That's God. As a sound of a mighty thunder. So you got. You've got the voice of a great multitude, the sound of many water thunder, which is judgment, which is his power, saying hallelujah for the Lord God omnipotent reigns. What it's saying is he knows and he. He is powerful over what? Everything. Now who's telling us that? God's telling us that. By the way, he is speaking in the third person. A lot of athletes like to speak

in the third person, okay?

There's only one being that's got a right to speak in the third person, meaning to speak about yourself as if you're talking about somebody else.

And who is that? God. God has the right to speak in the third person because he's. He's the only one that can fully describe himself to you, okay? He says, for the Lord God Omnipotent reigns, meaning he is totally in control. First understanding of God. He is totally under control. He is God. He is God in all the manifestations that you can come up with that would take him to be God. He meets all those things.

It says, let us be glad and rejoice and give him glory. For the marriage of the lamb has

come and his wife has made herself ready. So what's this talking about?

It's called talking about the wedding feast

of the lamb, okay? Now this is the marriage between Christ and the church, okay? It is the great party in heaven. We all can't wait to be there

because we're going to be the bride. So God has made his bride ready and she.

And it's.

They're ready for the wedding feast, okay? And it says, and to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright. For the fine linen is the righteous

acts of the saints. Meaning that acts that we do in faith, okay? Righteousness comes by faith.

Then he said to me, right?

Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the lamb. We, we want to be there. Notice he said, write it down because it's forever. He says, these are the true sayings of God,

Says, and I fell to my.

To his. At his feet, talking about the angel that's talking to him. But he said to me, see that you do not do that.

I'm your fellow servant and of your

brethren who have the testimony of Jesus, worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy or the spirit of understanding. Okay? Notice that. Let's go all the way back. Who judges the angels? We do. We judge the angels. So we do not worship angels. We don't worship these other little G O D Ss. We worship the one true God who is omnipotent. He says, see that you do not do that. I am your fellow servant and your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Meaning I'm a servant of you. Notice the angel is saying, I'm a servant of you and I'm a servant of those who are a part of the church who have the testimony of Jesus.

And the only people that have are

part of the church are those who have the testimony of Jesus, okay? As God has revealed him to them. Now you need to hear that as God has revealed himself to them, okay? Let me ask you because it's important. You kind of get these understandings because they answer questions for you. Was the Ethiopian eunuch righteous before he knew who was the author of his righteousness? Yeah, sure he did. He was seeking out the one whom the passage was talking about. He could not have sought him had not the one who was in the passage sought him first. Did the Ethiopian eunuch know the name of his Lord. Before he had the conversation with Philip? He did not know his name, but he was his Lord. And that is a truth throughout Scripture. Many people in Scripture do not know who Jesus is, do not know who Adonai is. They do not know who El Shaddai is, okay? They do not know who he is until he is revealed to them by someone else. But that does not mean that they have not begun to seek Him. And if they begun to see him,

then he's their Lord.

Even before they know His Name, they would not seek him was he not already their Lord. And you go, well, why is that? Well, who has to do the work of redemption and complete the work of redemption before you can receive redemption? Redemption? God has to do it.

God has to do the redeeming work. And it has to be a complete and perfect and flawless work. And that work has to be completed in you

without you doing anything in

order for it to have its fullness.

He knew you before he knit you in your mother's womb. Yes.

And if you do not get that, you're going to wonder what I needed to do to be okay with God.

And you don't need to do anything. You need to repent and turn to Him. If you hear his voice today, do not be like the ones in the wilderness who harden their hearts, turn to Him.

But you, you say, well, what?

I turn to him with what he's

already placed in you.

He's already given you the ability to trust Him.

If he's already given you the ability

to hear him, you need to act upon it.

I don't have to pray over you. And you don't have to pray a special. Some kind of special prayer. And by the way, that prayer is not in the Bible. Y' all do know that, right? Have y' all ever looked for it? It's not in there. It ain't in there.

I know. I know why. Because I don't have to do anything to be redeemed. I am redeemed. And then I realize that I'm redeemed. Period.

Period. I am redeemed. And then I realize I'm redeemed.

And I turn to Him. And that puts God rightly in his proper place. He is omnipotent. He is sovereign. He is fully in control.

When I put him in the right, his rightful place, then I can take

my rightful place as a bride of Christ, Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. I am blessed because I have been invited. I've been invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb. When we do, when we realize the greatness of what God's done, We don't minimize what he does and we maximize how we live. We maximize how we live.

As you go today, I pray that

the Lord will bless you and keep you, that he'll make his face to shine upon you and that he will give you hope and peace today in Jesus name.
