Welcome to the Real Church podcast. Our mission is for you to know the love of Jesus and live out your God given purpose. Now join us and listen in to the latest message from pastor David John Phillips.
Now without further ado, we're gonna get into the message. And for this message, I want to introduce somebody very special to me. Heidi, would you come out? Would you guys give Heidi a hand?
I've got my big gulp.
She's got her pink water bottle.
I kinda asked permission earlier, but then Oh,
you're you're good. It looks it looks it's beautiful. Okay. So Heidi like, 1 of the things about real church is our mission statement is engage the culture with the love of Jesus. And do whatever it takes to engage the culture.
Number 2 is equip the believer, equip you to engage the culture with the love of Jesus. Period. Right? Because it's not we're not just created to come to church and listen. We're created to be Jesus in our world wherever you are.
That's amazing. Number 3 is empower the ready to live out their purpose. *God*'s placed a calling and a purpose on this amazing woman of God's life to preach. And I we were she'll tell you probably a little bit of the story, but I noticed it, and I also noticed that she was ready. And so we're just living out our mission.
She's gonna preach this word today that's powerful. It's gonna change your life. Make sure that you listen, sit on the edge of your seats, listen to what God's gonna say to you through this amazing woman of God. So if you guys would give her 1 more hand, Heidi, take it away. Thanks.
Thank
you. So that was amazing worship. I know the the songs that were chosen I had no control of but I just really feel like they really fit in because man, God has a "reckless love" for us and I've experienced that so much in my life. So my name is Heidi as David said and I am a beloved daughter of the king. I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
I didn't always know that but that's who he says I am. I grew up with a single mother and I had 2 brothers and my mother was very in bondage to drugs and alcohol and many other things and I spent a lot of time in and out of foster homes and I've seen and experienced just about every kind of abuse imaginable. And it was tough, but the reason that I'm telling you this is that I want you to know that I've been in places that you may have been in before. I want you to know that when I share with you the word that the Lord's given me that it comes from a place of experience, and that what God's done in my life will give you a hope and a faith to run after him relentlessly. So "God, I just thank you" for this morning.
I thank you Lord that you choose the foolish to confound the wise. I thank you God that you have a message for 1 person today. I pray, oh God, that you would open our hearts, that you would open my heart, that you would open their hearts and their ears to receive what you have for them. I thank you that you are a good father. I thank you that you run relentlessly after us.
And, Lord, I just pray for this message. Holy Spirit, I thank you that you're here. I thank you that you're moving. In Jesus' name, amen. So about 3 or 4 weeks ago, Jerry, my husband Jerry, I don't know if he's in here, but we took David and Courtney to lunch for their anniversary, and you know, when you can get the preacher off, you get excited because then you have their full attention.
So, I had this thing that God this revelation that God gave me that was so powerful and I couldn't wait to get to the restaurant so that I could tell him about it because David's David's a good leader and he's a very good listener and he'll sit there and let you talk. And so I'll tell you about that later but anyway, we had lunch, got back to my house. We wanted to pray over David and Courtney and their marriage in real church and so we're praying and David it's David's turn and he's praying and he's just out of the blue says, God, I thank you that Heidi is preaching January 20. Well, my eyes flung open and I backed up to the back of my kitchen and they were still praying and I'm like And David looks up and he goes, will you do it? And I said, David, I can't I can't speak in front of people.
I have anxiety. And he's like, stop. That is not what God says about who you are. You have the same Holy Spirit in me, in you that I have in me. Now, I believe that God spoke to me and said that you are gonna preach, but are you willing?
Will you say yes? And I said yes. I said yes because I know the reward of saying yes to God is far greater than facing the junk that's gonna get me there because I've said yes enough to him. I knew I was about to go through something intense because I know God. And I know it's not just about preaching a word, it's about doing something in me.
He does so many things at the same time that we have no idea. But I know him. So, I knew I was about to go through something ugly, painful, hard, messy, but in the end so beautiful and so worth it. In the last few weeks when I was trying to get this message together, know at first I was like, okay God, I'm just not even gonna really plan this. I'm just gonna let you give me what you wanna give me because I always want God to be real.
And so he I'd be thinking about it constantly and I'd write stuff down. I had like 5 pages of stuff and none of it went together. So, it was about 2 weeks ago and I'm like, alright God. I have 2 weeks and I have no idea what's going on. I I don't I don't even I don't even know.
Then David preached the first Sunday and I'm like, dang it, he just took like a third of what I was gonna say, like what am I gonna do? But Lord, you knew that. So, I'm backing out of my driveway and so let me stop right here and just tell you, this is kinda funny, a long time ago, years and years ago, I heard a preacher, a comedian or somebody, think it was a Christian comedian, don't know, doesn't matter. Say, he was saying, know, had there was a father talking to his son and and the father said, son you need to you know stop watching TV and do your homework. And the son's like, dad, I don't wanna stop watching TV, it's the only time of the week.
Son, stop watching TV and get up and do your homework. Dad, but you know this is son, I said stop watching TV and get up and do your homework. But dad And then the dad goes, but dad, did you just call me "butt dad"? That means you're butt boy. That means we're butt family.
So here I am, I'm backing out of my driveway and probably I think I was going to work or something and I was talking to *God* because we just talk, you know, we talk and talk to him all the time. He's he's my friend. And so, I'm talking to him and I'm backing out and I say and I'm telling him all the things that need to happen and why it's not gonna work out the way that he thinks it's gonna work out and what he needs to do. I'm just talking, talking, talking, he's like, trust me. And I said, look, David, you gave David, you had him say all this stuff and I don't even know what Courtney's gonna say when she preaches, and I have all this stuff and I don't know what to do.
And he said, trust me, and I said, but God I can't and he said, am not lying to you, he said, "but God"? Did you just call me but God? And do you know when he said that every bit of anxiety left me? Because I was struggling with anxiety. I was struggling about getting this message together.
He knew God's a funny God. If you don't believe me, look at the people around you. We are created in his image, and we are created in his likeness. I laugh at myself. Sometimes, I'll just start laughing, Gerald, what are you laughing at?
And, I can't even get it out because I'm so funny, and I'm laughing at myself. I don't think I'm funny, but I just I laugh. That's how God is. That's part of who he is. And if I'm created in his image and his likeness, guess what?
We're funny and so is he. Where do you think we get it from? Our father. So anyway, it's cool how God speaks. We never know what he's gonna say and recently David did a message on hearing God and it's on realchurch.us.
I encourage you to listen to it. If you've ever had any questions about how to hear God or how do you know it's God, you know, just go in there and listen to that and that'll really help you out. It it sure did me. And he is funny. I hope you if you don't know that side of him, I hope 1 day that you get to know him in that way.
So in 2 Peter-1:3-4, 0, it came up. Sometimes I try to look for stuff in my bible that Jerry tell because Jerry is like the bible king and he knows where everything is and he'll say, you need to look this up and I'll be like, I don't it's not in mine. And he's like, yes, is, Heidi. *2 Peter-1:3* through 4, his divine power has granted to us all, how much? All things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises.
So that through them, you may become partakers of the divine nature, that's what we were just talking about, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. So through the knowledge of him, how do I get knowledge of him? Well, 1 of the ways is of getting knowledge is revelation through experiencing God and that's what I'm gonna talk about today. So this knowledge is not a head knowledge, it's not something you know. It's something that happens to you when you experience God, and when it happens to you, it happens to the very core of your being, to your identity.
And when that thing hits you, it's there. It's fact and it's not going anywhere and no 1 can tell you different. So cool. And so every so it's gone but it's okay. So I if I have all the power for life and godliness but I don't see evidence of that in my life, then I need a fresh revelation of Jesus.
I need to know who he is. I need to identify with who he is in me. I don't care how long you have been saved, you need a fresh revelation of Jesus every single day. It's manna. It fills you.
It sets you free. We can't walk unless we know who he is because until we know who he is, we don't know who we are. So, in every trial, in every circumstance, say, Lord, I need revelation of who you are in this. You don't have to figure it out. Just say, God, give me revelation.
Anything thrown at you from the world or the enemy or just day to day life, ask God to reveal himself to you through that circumstance. I struggled with anxiety terribly since David pushed me into this thing that God wanted me to do, and I'm so glad that he did. I know it was in love, but in that, God worked in me. But I needed to know him as my peace. And so I said, Lord, I need revelation of you as my peace because everything we have, if we belong to him, is already in us.
He is our peace. He is the prince of peace. So I don't need to pray for peace. I need to say, Lord, you are my peace. I need revelation of that.
Show that to me so that I can walk in that. Excuse me. I'm gonna say excuse me 1 time. Okay? And then that'll work for all the sips that I have to take.
So I wanted to share a little testimony with you. My youngest son just graduated from college, and we were going my husband and I were going up there for the graduation in in Georgia. And his father and I are divorced. Let me just stop for a minute there because I'm divorced and according to the world and a lot of religion, I shouldn't even be up here preaching. But God has so redeemed me and that's who he is.
He is redeemer. It doesn't matter what you've done. It doesn't matter what you where you've been. It doesn't matter what's been done to you. *God* says something different just like that song.
"I am who he says I am", not anybody else. Right? So we're going to I'm getting ready to go and you know how you do the little picture side by side thing and I do his little preschool picture next to his high school picture and I'm just grieving because I missed so much of his life growing up because he was just a little bitty thing. And you know, I spent time with him but as he got older he was very involved in sports and hunting and his dad was a coach and they were gone every weekend and I was also a mother of other 2 children. Yes, I had another marriage and another divorce.
*God* is God. God's funny. He chose me. You talk to him. So anyway, so we have been divorced.
So I just felt like I've struggled for the last 15 to 20 years about this and had such great pain in me and great shame in me. God's walked me through that and healed me in some places, I couldn't figure out why why is this still here? I just cried, I was like, God, missed those years, like, they're gone. Do you ever wake up? Do you ever have something, a moment in your life when you wake up and you realize it's gone?
Like, if it's just about me, that's 1 thing, but if I've hurt other people through decisions, selfish decisions that I've made, I can't get that back. It's gone, and I never have been able to get past that. It's it's just gone. He's a man. He's 24 years old now.
So we go to the graduation, and he's so precious. I mean, this kid, this man, I just I just wanna know him, and I I just I wanna spend time with him and I wanna be close to him and when I was thinking about this message, I thought, oh, *god*'s gonna want me to say that's how we need to feel about him and it is. We we need to have a desire to know him and just spend time with him because we love him. We wanna get to know him, but that wasn't it. So but we can we can tag that on because that's good too.
So anyway, we had the graduation and Blake comes out and thanks us for being there and then he gives us a ride to our car because it's a little bit away and and so we chat and tell him how proud of him we are and hug his neck and pray over him and we leave and we're going to the gas station because we needed gas. And my husband knows me and he just said, honey, you know, Blake loves you and and I know that he loves you. And, you know, he's he's not struggling like you are. And I said, honey, I I appreciate you saying that, but, you know, you don't know that. But thank you for saying that.
And so I'm just feeling this empty place in me and I get we get to the gas station, Jerry's pumping the gas, and this and it wasn't it's like 5 minutes after he dropped off dropped dropped us off. And this text pops up on my phone, and it's from him. And he said, mama, I love you so much. Thank you so much for coming to my graduation. You have no idea how you and Jerry have inspired me, how you have caused me to wanna live a better life.
Thank you so much for coming, mama. I love you guys so much. I hope that I'll be able to make you proud, and it wrecked me. I just started crying the "ugly, ugly cry". Jerry's pumping gas and looking in going, oh, what am I gonna have to deal with now?
Because you never know with me. And I'm just crying and he gets in the car and I'm like, "baby, look at this text". And he said, I told you, Heidi. And I said, but you just didn't know. And he said, I can tell by the way he looks at you that he adores you.
And I'm crying and crying, and we we're in the country y'all, and it's dark in the country, and I'm I can't even see, and I'm driving, and I just began thanking God. God, I just thank you. I thank you, Lord. I thank you that you will be glorified in what he missed with a momma son relationship. I thank you, God, that it's not gonna affect him.
I thank you, Lord, that he is a mighty man of God, and you have raised him up to be that in Jesus' name. And I'm praying, and then all of a sudden, he drops this revelation in me. And he said, I am the God who redeems. And I said, oh my goodness. He said, those years are not lost.
They never were lost. He said, I redeemed those on the cross. Those years, he didn't miss out on a mama and son. I redeemed that thing in a second. So I start telling Jerry because that's what you do when you get this revelation and you really don't know what to say, and you just start talking.
And I'm like, Jerry, and then, oh my gosh. What? And I'm like, I knew him as healer. When I was a little girl in that foster home, and I was laid out in the hallway because they didn't want me to disrupt the kids, and I had an earache so bad I couldn't even function. Somehow, as a little bitty tiny thing, I knew to call out to God and say, heal my ear, and I remember it got healed.
Y'all, I remember probably 10% of my childhood, but I remember that. I've known God as my provider. When we've had almost nothing, didn't even know where our next meal was gonna come from, and we continued to say yes to God, and he poured out blessings on us. God has placed people in my life every step of the way because he loves me, because he is God, because he is faithful. And so, I'm trying to tell Jerry, and I'm like, God, I need like, I need something.
I need something to explain what what, you know, and all of a sudden, he shows me a firecracker, he because there were fireworks at the really cool fireworks at the graduation and he said, when you when you you say yes to me, that thing's lit and it explodes. And there's a bazillion, think of the biggest firework you could ever imagine in your mind and there's a bunch of little sparks. Well, you know what? All of those are parts that I have at my disposal at any time because I belong to him. But until I see it, I don't even know it's there.
I can't even grab a hold of it. I can't even unwrap it. So I've seen parts of God. He has revealed parts of himself to me when I call on him, but this was a spark that was way back here. I didn't know it was there.
I had no When he told me, I was like, I should have known that. You're God. You can do whatever you want. It was back there and he revealed it to me and I received it, and that set me free. For 15 or 20 years, I I didn't know why I couldn't get free of that.
What are you holding on to? What have you been carrying? Is it anger? Is it fear? Is it shame?
Is it pain? Is it misunderstanding? Is it is it whatever it is, he wants to reveal himself to you so that you can be free, so that you can walk in freedom and peace and love in Jesus name. Hallelujah. So and, you know, he said when he when he was doing that, he told me, he said, I I told you in my word, I will redeem the years.
I will restore the years that the enemy has stolen. I made the choice. I made the choice. It affected other people, and I have other kids that it affected. But because I belong to him, he redeemed it.
And I am free from that thing. Yep. So if God can redeem this in me, what do you need him to redeem in you? We just have to uncover that package. We have to ask him.
So how do we do this? Through knowing Jesus. Spend time talking to him, listening to him, worshiping him, and receiving. Those are some of the things that he gave me. So the first 1, prayer or talking with him.
Well, I don't have it in that order here so I'm gonna go by this because this is what I like better. So we're gonna say listening to him or spending time with him first. Just spend time with him. Just, you know, you can't spend time with the lord and not come away with grace and peace. Have you ever noticed like when you're in a church service and man, David's preaching and the worship was amazing and you're just you go out soulful or if you've had the blessing of being on a mission trip and you're there for a week or 2 and you you you're just you're empty of yourself, you're so full of god, you're ready to take on the world or a retreat or anything like that, it's only because you spent time with God.
That's all it is. There is nothing different that happens in here on Sunday or that's on the mission field or that's on a retreat. It's just spending time with God. It is a principle. Like I said, you can't spend time with God and not come away with peace and grace and truth.
You cannot come away not being touched by the father. Just spend time with him. Worship is 1 of my well, they're all my favorites, but worship is a a I love worship. Turn on your music. Just worship him.
You know that music that you're listening to and you're singing out? You're speaking blessing over yourself? You're speaking the word of lord over yourself? Worship him. Listen to him.
That's a little bit harder, especially for those of us that like to talk. But just get quiet before the lord. Just get in a place where nobody is. Turn on whatever you what however you wanna do it. Turn on music, whatever, and just be still, and don't say anything.
And just say, speak to me, lord. Speak to me. I'm listening, lord. He will speak to you every time. You know, it's funny when I started coming into this church, I told David David and Courtney were at our house, and we we bribe them and bring them over.
My husband's an amazing cook and so we feel like if we feel we feed people we want them to like us and they'll like us. So we invited them over and did homemade pizzas and so we were talking to them and we were just Jerry and I were just both so excited because we both had the same vision that God gave them and and so Courtney is like, hey, you know, you would be great, you know, greeting people. And of course, Jerry, he's an evangelist, he's like, yeah, I love people. He'll go, you better watch out because he's a big dude and he'll come and he'll hug you. And I'm like, yeah, I don't really like people.
And I'm not lying to you, that's what I made myself believe all of this time. And I'm like, yeah, don't really like people but I mean if God like God might show me some somebody across the room and and I'll go over them and then I'll love them, know, and I'll be faithful and I'll be loyal and I'll be right there with them. I don't really like people and Courtney's like, okay, well just you look for that person, know, and they leave and I'm like, dang, we're gonna have to set up, we're gonna have to be there for 2 services, we're gonna have to tear stuff down, I'm used to my nap on Sunday. I'm just being real with you guys. That I mean, it's sad but it's true.
And and I don't even like people and now I gotta and then it was just like the Lord's like, just say yes to me. And I'm like, okay God, I'll do whatever you want. I'll do whatever you want. And so I said yes, no little sparks, nothing fancy happened. And so I come and I start serving and I'm setting stuff up and I'm like, I'm having so much fun.
Oh my gosh, this is so good. And I I start greeting people and I'm like, I love people. This is so weird. And I'm greeting them and I'm like, Jerry, "I love people". I'm calling my spiritual mother.
I'm like, Sandy, I love people. She's like, I know you do cause that's who God is. And I'm like, when I started serving him, I'm like, he's he's love. So I have to be loved, right? Because I'm made in his image and his likeness.
So everything that he is, I am. And guess what? I love you guys. I love people. When you hear God, you can hear stuff like that.
I'm having so much fun learning about who I am because I had no idea who I was. It's the coolest thing. And the cool thing is, like, that's brand new for me. It's brand spanking new. When God reveals something, even if you know it's in know it in your head, when he speaks it to you, when you get revelation, it's brand spanking new.
And guess what? God does it over and over and over. That well never runs dry. If you will spend time with him, you're gonna have revelation of him. Just like David said a few weeks ago, it isn't a changed life, it's an exchanged life.
So, receive is the last 1 and I looked this up in the dictionary and I was just blown away by the definition. It said, to come into possession of, to act as a receptacle, to permit to enter. That was saying yes. Although I know Lord what I'm about to go through, I'm gonna say yes because you have been faithful every single time. When I have been in such fear that I thought if I let go because I've never been able to trust people, because I was hurt so much, because I was so abandoned, because I was so broken, and I said, you know what God, I choose to believe your word.
This is what your word says and I'm about to choose to believe it and you better follow through and every single time he follows through. This is truth, not what I think about myself, not what other people say about me, what God says about me, that's the truth. I am who he says I am. And so just receive. Let him pick you up and put you in his big lap and wrap his big arms around you in love.
Let him pour out his love on you. He will always be faithful. I have *God* shared this with me about a week ago and I didn't even know I was gonna share it. But a long time ago when I was in ministry at another church, I we had somebody come in and teach us how to do a a type of ministry, it's called Sozo ministry and it's really good. It's kinda like instead of you people praying and 1 person saying everything, you get together and this person facilitates and the Holy Spirit reveals himself to you.
The Holy Spirit tells you, shows you, you just say, Lord, where were you when this horrific thing was happening to me? I need to see you and the Holy Spirit will show you where Jesus was and it will heal you. And so what we were doing, we were going through this training and it and and it's cool because the Holy Spirit does it. So you know it's good because he's God. And so it was so we were just practicing because you know God never moves when you practice.
He only does it in the real show. So we're practicing and it's my turn to be the receiver and I have my person over here facilitating. So I'm praying, okay God, what do you wanna show me? What do you wanna do in me, God? And so he spoke to me and said, every time you've ever given a testimony and you've talked about yourself as a little girl, you always you always said I was a dirty little girl that nobody wanted.
And I was I mean, I was physically dirty. I was abused. I was neglected. I was abandoned. He wanted to heal that in me.
My heart started pounding because I knew that that was a deep hurt. And like I said, I don't remember, but, like, 10 of my past as a child and that that I do remember, I had so disassociated myself to it that when I would see it and know it and understand it and get healing, I never had the emotional part of it because I had just separated myself so much from it. So it was more like watching a movie. You know, it's sad but it wasn't me. And in that moment, he shared that with me and I said, okay, God.
*Lord, I need to know and then I see God*'s I'm I'm just talking and I see him standing there and I realized I was good with Holy Spirit. Like, Holy Spirit, me, you know, we're tight. You better be tight with them too if you want anything to happen because that's who Jesus sent to help us out. Right? I was good with Jesus.
I knew that Jesus loved me, but I never knew that I was horrified of God the father. Horrified of God the father. And so I'm sitting there and my gut's sick and I'm my heart's pounding and I'm like, oh, I know I'm about to deal with this. And I'm like, Lord, would you show me how you see me? How how you saw me?
And so I'm kinda in the I'm kinda in this vision, right, and I'm the little girl. And I have my head down and, you know, I'm thinking, okay, I'm this dirty little girl, and I look up and I see God and he's standing there so stoic and his face is just firm, know, and he's just standing there and he's God and he's big and I'm just this little girl. Somehow, I end up like on the outside, and so I look and I see him smile, and I look back at me, and there's this beautiful little girl with a yellow dress on, hair, blonde, curly hair. Y'all, I had mats in my hair that I had to get cut out because nobody rushed my hair, but that's not what God saw. And I saw that little girl, and I just began to cry.
And then all of a sudden, I'm I'm this little girl again, and I'm looking up at this God, and he's smiling. And then I see him kneel down. He said, come home. I love you. Come to me.
I love you. And I could see myself run after him. Y'all, that healed me. That was revelation of God. What does he want to do in you that's so deep you don't even know you're not even connected to it, that he wants to heal?
You know, God had a plan for that little girl. That little girl standing up here redeemed, set free, living for him. He had a plan, and here I am, and I'm just a person. And I always say, you know, God's done a lot in my life, but I have a long way to go. God told me this yesterday, "stop saying that".
You are where you're supposed to be, right where I have you. Do not make excuses for what I what we haven't done yet. You are who I say you are. You are a 100% complete right now. According to the world standards, they don't need an explanation.
You stand up and rise and be exactly who I called you to be. I said, yes, sir. I'll do it. Nothing can stop the plan of God for you. God created you with a purpose.
He created you with a promise and nothing, no devil, no person, no abuse, no rejection, no betrayal, nothing will stop the plan of God for you. In John-6:39 to 40, *Jesus said, this is Jesus talking about God, this is the will of him who sent me that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me. That's us. If we belong* to him, that's us. God promised him he he would lose nothing.
He has given me but raised him up on the last day, for this is the will of my father, that everyone who looks on the son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up. Y'all sometimes you gotta choose to believe. I've had to choose to believe. When nothing in my mind or in my body said this was truthful, I had to say, you know what, God? I choose to believe you.
I choose to believe you. And again, I already said this, but he was faithful every single time. So just my just like my introduction of who I am, so are you. He wants you to be victorious. He wants you to be a partaker of all that he died for you to have and walk in it.
If you believe him, just like the fireworks, the flare that wasn't discovered, he has so much more, y'all. I'm just excited. I'm excited to find some more. It's like a scavenger hunt. What am I gonna find?
You never know what corner you're gonna he'll drop it in you without you even expecting it. It's so good. And I also wanted to say, my mom got saved before she died. She got saved. She never got free.
She never had these tools in her tool belt. I didn't even have them in my tool belt until **God started unwrapping** that. 3 months before my mother died, God gave me a woman came to me and said, the Lord told me I'm to be your spiritual mother. I didn't even know my mom was dying. "God does stuff like that", y'all.
He loves us. He cares about you. *Isaiah-26:3* through 4 says, you keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed upon you because he trusts in you. "Trust in the Lord forever" for the Lord God is an everlasting rock. From the world standards and religious standards, I shouldn't be speaking you today, but like I said, God chooses the foolish to shake things up a little bit because he is love and he loves you.
We are worthy to represent him because of what he did, not because of what we do. "I am the righteousness of God" in Christ Jesus. If you belong to him, you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. It's just what we are, and he'll help us he'll reveal that to us. Thank you.
