S3:E31 - When you dismiss the obedience, you miss the miracle

We always heard, you know, like, oh, Jesus turned water to wine, and, you know, you see cute little skits about it on Instagram about, you know, babysitting and parents just, like, making jokes about like, "Okay," like, "don't give him any water 'cause, you know, it's gonna turn into wine." Um, but, like, there is depth in this.

There is power in this.

Like, the way that this was the first miracle, and I think everybody looks at this one like it's less than 'cause it's less than healing and it's less than raising somebody from the dead, right? It's, it's not healing leprosy.

It's not healing the blind.

It's not healing the lame.

It's, it's turning water into wine.

It's a drink.

It was for a need that wasn't life or death.

It wasn't going to, like, make or break somebody's life.

It was running out of wine at a wedding.

And even that aspect right there of it not being life or death is gonna kinda be, like, where we peel back the first curtain of the need in your life doesn't have to be life or death for God to want to bless you in it.

It doesn't have to be something where you're like, "This is ruining my life," or like, "Whoa, this is so hard." God wants to bless us.

Like, when we walk in the kingdom, we walk...

Like, when we know who we are as sons and daughters of the king, we walk in kingdom inheritance, right? Like, we represent the kingdom on Earth.

And the kingdom of Heaven is [laughs] ...

I mean, you guys have heard it, like streets of gold, pearly gates.

Like, it's not a poor place, right? So, like, when we think about it, it's like we don't just need to bring the needs to God that are like, okay, I really need healing in this area, or maybe you need to have a baby, and if that's the case, I speak healing over you right now in the name of Jesus, that that [laughs] would happen.

But you can bring things to God, and it does say in, um, I wanna say John, but you ask and you don't receive because you ask for the wrong reason.

So, like, keeping your heart posture in the right position is kind of the first thing to think about here.

Like, when they needed wine for this wedding, it was to serve their guests.

That wasn't a need like, oh, I need wine 'cause I wanna get hammered.

Oh, I need wine because I need it just for myself.

They were serving a celebration that they were hosting, so this was a service for people, right? That's a heart pos- a heart posture of I need this to serve somebody, right? I need this to, like, benefit more than just myself, and so that heart posture isn't there for just, like, I just need a singular gain, and that's it.

And I think when we're in the, you know, like, ask and you shall receive.

Knock and the door shall be opened for you.
