Time Text
Living from the Finish 00:02:43
I know the plan.
That's God saying that.
Can I say that saying, 29, 11?
But God's saying it about you.
You know what?
Sometimes I wonder, God, do you know where we're going?
Do you know there's somebody shooting at me from the woods right there?
Don't you know, God, these people.
And God says, I know the plan.
The rabbi, we're going to put it on the screen.
Ma Kashaba.
That's close.
Will you say it again for us, please?
We can practice with you.
No, I just love this because God knows your plan.
He knows the plan for you.
You know, the Lord said, heaven is my throne.
Earth is my footstool.
Now we are to be in God.
It says he has seated us in heavenly places.
So that means we're to live that same way.
Heaven is my throne, is heaven is where we dwell.
We dwell in the heavenlies.
Earth is my footstool.
I put my feet on it, but not too, I don't put too much weight on that footstool.
You know, footstool is, you know, put too much.
Everything you have, even your problems, they're footstool problems.
You know, don't get too crazy.
You know, everything, you know, whatever you have, you have riches.
It's just footstool riches.
Don't go crazy over it.
But dread, you know, tread lightly on it.
And the other thing is, you know, there's another, I won't go into this, but there's another part of the mystery because it's also me living from heaven to earth, but also living from the end to now.
Not from here to the end, but from the end to here.
Living from the victory to where I am now.
You know, living from the finish.
In Hebrew, remember, in Hebrew, you don't have any real past, present, future tense.
You have something that's used for it, but really in the Bible, you don't.
It's timeless.
So therefore, the Bible can speak of future events and speak in the past tense, meaning it's already done.
Or Isaiah 53, a lot of it's in the, it says it's going to come, but it's already done.
Why?
It's called the perfect tense.
It means it's perfect.
It's finished.
What's finished is perfect.
So we're not to live from the imperfect.
From the imperfect, I'm going to get to the perfection.
You live from the perfect.
I live from the finish.
It's finished in God.
It's finished in Messiah.
It's finished on the, he said, it is finished on the cross.
And from what he did, I live from that perfect thing.
Maybe I don't see it yet.
Maybe I'm imperfect, which I am, but in him, it's perfect.
I'm already victorious in him.
Let me go from that.
I'm already there.
Let me go from there.
I'm already arrived.
Let me live a life from arrived.
Then I'm living out of fullness, not emptiness, because in God, all things are perfect.
