excerpt from Joseph Prince calm
so you’ll find that God will bring you
out and God will shape you God will cut
away the unnecessary parts in your life
now God doesn’t do it with sickness and
disease always remember that but
nonetheless the process is painful
sometimes God will use people to come
and tell you things how how does God you
know not just stones but God God God
says I’m bringing you to a land the land
of Israel where you had your dick copper
from the mountains you didn’t have this
in Egypt but you have this in the land
that I’m bringing you God says so the
copper will later on be melted a man in
clay moles in the plains of Jordan and
become a pillar in the temple of God
called Jachin and Boaz the entrance of
the feel of the Temple of Solomon and
God says in the book of Revelation that
the overcomer he that overcomes I’ll
make a pillar in the temple of my god so
some people become tellus pillars a
bronze some people are just stones and
it’s alright because all of us are
living stones but there are some that
government and I think that their son
I’m speaking to today go make you a
pillar not just a stone but a pillar a
pillar and the Bible says there in
Galatians Paul himself says that about
Peter James and John Paul himself says
that they are pillars in the church are
you listening people and sometimes the
process is painful because God will put
you in the mold that you don’t like you
feel constrained in some places in some
things that God tells you do you feel
constrained but you are being molded so
that you don’t become you know the
amazing thing the value of things grow
when cultivation has been put on it for
example you have iron above iron today
cause why maybe $500 to $1,000 above
iron okay you refine it you melt it you
cultivate it okay into a horseshoe it is
even more expensive now okay you’ll
calculate it you melt it you make it
really really small small Springs for
the Rolex watch nice thousands of
dollars same in-1 is raw not cultivated
the value is not much
but once it’s cultivated the value
increases God wants to cultivate you God
wants to cut away the unnecessary areas
of your life
even goals have goal have scum that’s
why they mount the goal and you’ll see
the scum like your steamboat when you
eat a steamboat at the end all right
they always come coming up and use
something to remove the scum and the
heat scum rises have you noticed how
words change in your mouth when you’re
under pressure right you noticing you’re
under pressure you’re worse alike
hallelujah praise the name of Jesus God
is so good have you noticed that the
scum comes out amen amen and and it’s
good it comes out and don’t be bashful
don’t be angry you know at the person
gawe use you know the the the bronze
pillar was was cast in iron sorry in
clay mold clay represents earthen vessel
God uses people to cut all the rough
places amen
but the Bible says God wants to make you
vessels of Honor a vessel of Honor amen
even a peeler and peel is not for
everybody right but God wants to make
you a peeler is that okay let’s see the
process by which He loves us the way
cultivates us the way he develops us the
way he molds us until we are like goat
right in the fireball the scum removed
pure gold like the woman said of Jesus
in the song of songs his head is as the
most fine goal in fact in her
description you find goal in his head
goal in his hands goal in his feet
everything about Jesus is the golden
touch he touches a leper and the leper
is no more leper he touches the
priesthood of Aaron which is temporal
and it becomes eternal Jesus cannot
touch little five loaves and two fish
without it becoming plenty I’ll talk to
you about Peter Peter was a stone when
Jesus first met Peter it was actually
Andrew Peters brother they brought Peter
to Jesus and Andrew was actually Andrew
and John were the disciples of John
the Baptist’s originally all right so
what happened is that John the Baptist I
don’t believe he was preaching here he
was looking at Jesus the Bible says as
Jesus walked by in John chapter 1 and he
says I tell you this know someone is
like that sermon that came out of John’s
mouth even though I don’t think the
sermon but more like an exclamation you
look at the moral glory of Jesus you
look at the beauty and excellencies of
Jesus walking by in John 1 and John the
Baptist says words are not more eloquent
than these five words sermon okay he
look at Jesus days behold the lamb of
God and to be disciples heard what he
said
notice you never know when you’re
talking about Jesus who’s had a touch
and the Bible says they both Andrew and
John left and Andrew found Andrew in
fact two of them followed Jesus and
found where he dwelt asked to be with
him Jesus says come and see and the
Bible says that later on Andrew when to
find his brother Simon Peter his name
was Simon he was Jesus I gave him Peter
so when when Jesus met Peter this is
what happened alright he found his own
brother Simon and said we have found the
Messiah which is the Christ drop-down he
brought him to Jesus when Jesus looked
at Simon he said you are Simon the son
of Jonah you shall be caught chief us
which is translated as stone can you see
it now here is where we recall his
conversion took place he meant a stone
you are keifa’s by the way keifa’s is
Aramaic for stone okay today in English
it will be Kiefer Iraq keifa’s is stone
Peter you will now be called Peter a
stone and also rock a rock or a stone
small rock stone is keifa’s in other
words he says higher rocky from now on
you are Rocky amen Simon is hearing see
me on Shimon from hearing the word
hearing but Jesus says from now on
you’ll be a stone you’ll be a rock
a man let’s see how Jesus loved him and
cultivate him is one thing to be
converted and I believe Peter was
converted in a sense that of course the
he didn’t have the Holy Spirit the way
he had it after Jesus died and rose
again but he was converted here alright
and it’s possible to be converted and
not be consecrated in other words you’re
just saved you go to church on Sunday
but it doesn’t really kill you your
purpose where you’re supposed to be in
the house of God where you’re supposed
to function and you don’t care so Peter
was like that he was a fisherman he says
okay good he’s the Messiah I’m going
fishing so the Bible tells us that Jesus
still had to cultivate him Jesus brought
him out of the darkness by the
revelation of who he is the Messiah and
now Jesus has more work to do on him and
he was he was one day by the lake of
Galilee and he was washing his nets and
the Bible says the multitude present
Jesus just look behind him there were
two boats there the Bible says neither
it’s a two he could have gone in either
one of them but the Bible says Jesus
step into the one that belonged to Simon
everything has a purpose when Jesus
comes to you and ask you for a favor
he’s not asking a favor because he needs
it as much as you need it he’s setting
you up don’t think for one moment if the
lot tells you to give anything give your
time give your money
give your your your words of wisdom to
someone or whatever they’re gonna lose
it no he’s setting you up to bless you
he can do things without us we cannot do
anything without him so it is a
privilege and an honor to be used by the
Lord amen
so here Jesus says the Bible says Jesus
stepped into the boat and gsa’s to Simon
launch out into the deep let’s go to the
deep and and by the way they work all
night already and they caught nothing
and geo says let go to going to the deep
Simon let’s go and drop down your nets
laro for a big catch and Peter was
washing the master we what all night we
caught nothing
you need a greater revelation of Jesus
you know and he went with Jesus because
he said this nevertheless at your word I
will let down the net singular so you
can say he obeyed yea he obeyed but not
completely food Jesus says let down the
nets plural a lot of naps he says
alright we’ll go and we’ll let down the
net and the Bible says they enclosed so
much fish that they cannot take the fish
into the boat they had a call for help
from their partners James and John the
sons of Zebedee John the Beloved
Disciple they call for help and that’s
how much blessings will come when you
know Jesus loves you and he is not going
to just say follow me without taking
care of your needs the Bible says the
net began to break you ever wonder why
the net began to break because there’s
only one net the supply was greater than
the means to contain it so God always
thinks bigger than you you think of a
you think of a job got things of a
position you think of family just get
married to this woman
God thinks of generations got always
things bigger exceeding abundantly above
all we can ask for thing and the Bible
says when they came the partners came to
carry that in all that heavy swollen net
into the boat the boat began to sing to
gg gg gg gg gg gg the Bible says at this
point
Simon fell at Jesus feet at his knees
the Bible tells you where and grab his
knees and say depart from me I’m a
sinful man
he says depart from me something
happened to him church it is the
goodness of God that leads men to
repentance you see he didn’t repent
first and then Jesus gave him the catch
of fish Jesus bless him first and that
drove him to repentance you must
understand under Old Testament under law
you have to change before God can bless
you but under grace God blesses you
first and you change the goodness of God
will lead you to repentance amen so
remember we preach repentance but we
preach repentance under the new covenant
amen but he was he didn’t know the lot
that well yet he realized of a sudden
who was in the boat
this man is no ordinary man he is the
son of God
see he was introduced by Andrew as the
Messiah but now he sees him as the son
of God
oh my goodness I mean the presence of
God in the flesh and that’s why he fell
at his knees and say depart from me I’m
a sinful man it was a sense of his
holiness corrupt Jesus it’s funny thing
you grab Jesus knees right you say
depart from me I’m a sinful man is a
contradiction of actions it is like I
can’t I know I can’t be in your presence
because I’m so dirty I’m sinful yet I
cannot live without you
the Bible says I believe Jesus had a
smile Isis don’t be afraid from now on
you’ll catch men amen this excerpt is
