=== Living from the Finish (02:43) ===

[00:00:00]  I know the plan.
[00:00:01]  That's God saying that.
[00:00:02]  Can I say that saying, 29, 11?
[00:00:05]  But God's saying it about you.
[00:00:09]  You know what?
[00:00:10]  Sometimes I wonder, God, do you know where we're going?
[00:00:14]  Do you know there's somebody shooting at me from the woods right there?
[00:00:18]  Don't you know, God, these people.
[00:00:20]  And God says, I know the plan.
[00:00:23]  The rabbi, we're going to put it on the screen.
[00:00:26]  Ma Kashaba.
[00:00:30]  That's close.
[00:00:31]  Will you say it again for us, please?
[00:00:32]  We can practice with you.
[00:00:38]  No, I just love this because God knows your plan.
[00:00:46]  He knows the plan for you.
[00:00:47]  You know, the Lord said, heaven is my throne.
[00:00:50]  Earth is my footstool.
[00:00:52]  Now we are to be in God.
[00:00:54]  It says he has seated us in heavenly places.
[00:00:57]  So that means we're to live that same way.
[00:00:59]  Heaven is my throne, is heaven is where we dwell.
[00:01:02]  We dwell in the heavenlies.
[00:01:03]  Earth is my footstool.
[00:01:04]  I put my feet on it, but not too, I don't put too much weight on that footstool.
[00:01:09]  You know, footstool is, you know, put too much.
[00:01:11]  Everything you have, even your problems, they're footstool problems.
[00:01:13]  You know, don't get too crazy.
[00:01:14]  You know, everything, you know, whatever you have, you have riches.
[00:01:17]  It's just footstool riches.
[00:01:18]  Don't go crazy over it.
[00:01:19]  But dread, you know, tread lightly on it.
[00:01:22]  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.
[00:01:33]  Not from here to the end, but from the end to here.
[00:01:37]  Living from the victory to where I am now.
[00:01:41]  You know, living from the finish.
[00:01:42]  In Hebrew, remember, in Hebrew, you don't have any real past, present, future tense.
[00:01:49]  You have something that's used for it, but really in the Bible, you don't.
[00:01:52]  It's timeless.
[00:01:53]  So therefore, the Bible can speak of future events and speak in the past tense, meaning it's already done.
[00:02:00]  Or Isaiah 53, a lot of it's in the, it says it's going to come, but it's already done.
[00:02:04]  Why?
[00:02:05]  It's called the perfect tense.
[00:02:06]  It means it's perfect.
[00:02:07]  It's finished.
[00:02:08]  What's finished is perfect.
[00:02:10]  So we're not to live from the imperfect.
[00:02:12]  From the imperfect, I'm going to get to the perfection.
[00:02:15]  You live from the perfect.
[00:02:16]  I live from the finish.
[00:02:17]  It's finished in God.
[00:02:19]  It's finished in Messiah.
[00:02:20]  It's finished on the, he said, it is finished on the cross.
[00:02:23]  And from what he did, I live from that perfect thing.
[00:02:26]  Maybe I don't see it yet.
[00:02:27]  Maybe I'm imperfect, which I am, but in him, it's perfect.
[00:02:31]  I'm already victorious in him.
[00:02:33]  Let me go from that.
[00:02:34]  I'm already there.
[00:02:35]  Let me go from there.
[00:02:36]  I'm already arrived.
[00:02:37]  Let me live a life from arrived.
[00:02:39]  Then I'm living out of fullness, not emptiness, because in God, all things are perfect.
