There is a chain of events that will take place on your way to the miracle God is taking you to. Watch as Pastor Keion extracts the lesson of the sword and the ear in John 18 and Luke 22 to show you that God will take the power out of the hands of your enemies and give it to you.
In your Bible, John 18: 10, if you have it, here’s what the Word of the Lord says: Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. Specifically, he cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. Have you ever read this before? Alright, let’s go over to Luke chapter 22, verse 49. Luke 22: 49. If I were to have gone to Luke 2: 49, I would tell you, " I must be about my Father 's business,» but that isn 't what we’re talking about today. I 'm going to share what the Lord gave me after we left here on Sunday, and I didn’t get a chance to say it to you all. I was discussing when Judas betrayed Jesus, and there was an attempt at an assassination when he was rejected on the left by his parents at age 12. He didn 't return to ministry for 18 years, starting back at 30, and then spent the next three years under extreme pressure. I was telling the people of God that Judas was one of the last things Jesus had to overcome. You cannot allow what happened to you at 2, 12, and 30 to hinder you. You can’t let your childhood experiences, middle school troubles, or adult struggles hold you back. You must suffer the cross, so you can’t let age 2 and 12 keep you from reaching 33. That’s why the Lord directed me back here. In verse 49, it says, «When those who were around him saw what would follow, they said to Him, 'Lord, shall we strike with the sword? '» Peter was ready to act, wanting to cut someone down immediately. One of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear, and Jesus answered, «Suffer ye thus far,» and He touched his ear and healed him.
I want to talk on this subject today; it will make sense afterward. I’m going to discuss a chain reaction. You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. Give someone a high-five and tell them, «There 's a chain reaction.» There is a saying that goes, «I have seen people suffer from doing too much as much as I have seen people suffer from doing too little.» This suggests that sometimes doing too much can get you in trouble, while other times, not doing enough can do the same. Whether you do too much or too little, one of the most challenging positions to recover from is being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I have seen impatience cause more calamity than is reported because most people, if they are honest, want what they want, when they want it, how they want it, and where they want it. I could keep going, but I don 't have all day. However, impatience is a terrible taskmaster because receiving something out of season is worse than having nothing in season. What 's worse? Not having transportation or giving a two-year-old the keys? You may not have it, but at your age and stage, you can accommodate that lack. Put a two-year-old behind the wheel, and it’s over because having something out of season is more difficult than not having something at all. I’m going somewhere with this, so please follow me. According to the scripture, impatience is defined as the act of taking matters into your own hands. God does not bless impatience. If you don’t believe me, I implore you to interview Abraham. «Abraham, come here; just tell the people of God what happens when you’re impatient .»
«Well, God promised me a seed, a son. I expected it at 30, but it didn’t happen. I hoped by my 40th birthday, but God wasn’t going to make me a 60-year-old daddy. Then 70 came, and I thought, 'It isn 't my season.' 80 came around, and I thought, ' God, you lied to me.' 90 came, and now I was angry. Just when I got upset, I told my wife I was impatient, and coerced her to give me permission to have a child with the handmaid. I finally got the seed, but his name is Ishmael, while Isaac represents the promise. Today, if you go to Israel, there is still a battle in the Middle East between Ishmael and Isaac. Why? Because Abraham got something out of season. I want you to see how you can hurt your children by getting something out of season. Ishmael and Isaac represent impatience. Just because you can get a son doesn’t mean he is the seed. Just because you can enter a relationship, get married, or buy a house, it may not be your house season. You have to ask yourself, are you planning on staying in this area for a long time? Do you intend to plant yourself here?
