… and you shall have eternal life. Awesome. Oh, I have too much. We're out of time. Revelation 3.20. That's a good one. Psalm 24, verse 7 and 9. That's really great too. Matthew 6.33. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added to you? Think of that. What about Luke 10, 9? And Jesus, and he sent them out and healed the sick there and say to them, the kingdom of God has come near to you. That's amazing. He told them, go preach the gospel and tell them when you do the miracles, that's not the point. When they see the power of God by miracles, use that to tell them the kingdom of God is near you. Did you see that power? Yes, that's amazing. Okay, that's great. We got your attention. Listen up. The kingdom of God is near you. Why did he say near? Because they got to accept the kingdom. Right now, tonight, the kingdom of God is near you. …
… gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in. Who is? Whoooo! And finally, not just the sovereignty of God is all over this text, but the strategy of God is all over this text. this ancient woman understood that a crumb from the master's table carries the full authority of the table it came from. She understood that crumbs from Jesus still carry kingdom power. So when something comes from the master's table, it may look small to you, but it's packed full of power. Come on here. Come on here. This woman's response exposes the pointlessness of exclusion, the wastefulness of exceptionalism, the small-mindedness of biases, the blindness of prejudice, and the spiritual bankruptcy of denigrating the humanity of others. Jesus, died and rose from the grave for all of us and not just some of us. He got up with all power in his hand and no country, no community, no governor, no president, no mayor, no priest, no potentate, no preacher, no denomination controls the result of the resurrection. …
… receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God, their savior. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob. Lift up your heads, you gates, be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the king of glory, who is the king of glory, the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads. I like that part. By the way, what we're doing about fasting and praying, the reason why we're fasting and praying is because we're not going to have our head down this year. We're going to lift up our eyes. Come on, clap. If you got faith, to lift up your, come on, lift up your heads. We're lifting up our eyes. The Bible says in Psalm 121, I lift my eyes to the mountains. Where does my help come from? It comes from you, the maker of heaven and earth. So I like that the Bible's telling us, come on, 2026, lift up your heads, lift up your heads. Verse nine, lift up your heads, you gates, lift them up, you ancient doors that the king of glory may come in. Who is he? This king of glory. He is the Lord almighty. …
… The Lord God, mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates. The prayers are coming. And the King of Glory shall come in. So God, now that we know that you're here, I'd be remiss to not pray this prayer for myself. Maybe I'll do it on my own. I don't know if you'll be brave enough to do it with me. But oh God, bless me indeed. Enlarge my territory, God. Let my descendants, descendants, descendants know that I prayed a prayer today. That your hand would be with me. That you would keep me from evil. That I may not cause pain. God, please.
… Lord coming in. Look if you will in verse 7, lift up your heads, O ye gates, be lifted up ye everlasting doors, and the King of Glory shall come in. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates, even lift them up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of Glory shall come in. Who is this King of Glory? The Jehovah of hosts. He is the King of Glory. Isn't that beautiful? In these three Psalms you see the Good Shepherd, the Great Shepherd, the Chief Shepherd. The Good Shepherd, He died to pay for the penalty of sin. The great shepherd He rose to take care of the power of sin. And the chief shepherd who is coming again to appear in glory to take us away from the very presence of sin. I love this as we see this wonderful, wonderful shepherd king that we have. But now wait a minute. I said I was going to talk to you about the secret of satisfaction. …
