The Heart of God and the Building of His Church

It's always the heart of God. And ye shall know that I am the Lord. See, that's all God wants. You know, we talk about church and we talk about building a church and having a church, you know. All God wants is that we will know that He is the Lord.

That's it. That's all He wants. And therefore, He has laid out very clearly in the Word of God the methods by which we shall follow that when that church is built, everyone will turn around and say, It's the Lord!

It's the Lord! That's exactly what God wants, hallelujah. He doesn't want man to get any of the attention. He doesn't want man to get any of the glory. He wants man to turn around and say, It's the Lord!

It's the Lord! And God is pleased with that and looks down with a smile. So may God help us in these things. We want to continue to follow the theme that we began last evening, speaking about church principles in the New Testament.

I'm not exactly sure what title to give to it. But I was thinking about last night's message as we came through the day today and the definition that was given last night of a life that is in Christ. And surely I think we all know and agree that that's the only way that a church of Jesus Christ can be built is by a group of people who have a life that is in Christ Jesus.

That's the only way that it can work. You know, I thought about Christ, you know. We sing the song, On Christ the solid rock I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. But, you know, I wonder sometimes if we don't sing that song more as a theology than a reality.

You know, it's not just talking about a theology of Christ. It's not on Christ the theology of Christ. The solid rock I stand in is on Christ Himself. He is the solid rock that I'm supposed to be standing on.

And if I'm standing on Him, He is the rock of my salvation. He is the rock that was in the wilderness. He is the one that they drank honey out of. He is the one. It's Christ Himself. Oh, we sing that song.

I mean, we just love to whoop up the theology of that one. It's Christ and only Christ. And it's His righteousness. And I'm justified in Him. And that's true. I am justified in Him. But did you get the in Him lately?

I'm justified in Him. On Christ the solid rock I stand. Well, when Jesus said, On this rock I will build my church. He was talking about Himself. Amen? He is the rock. He's the rock of Gibraltar. When you compare Peter with Christ, It's a little stone and a big rock of Gibraltar.

And He's the one that we're supposed to build the church on. On this rock I will build my church. You know, it says in Psalm 127 and verse 1, Except the Lord build the house, They labor in vain that build it.

Oh, what a commentary of American Christianity today. They labor in vain that build it. They're spinning their wheels. They're doing everything you can imagine to fill the building up with people. But that's not what God is looking for.

They labor in vain that build it. Except the Lord be in the midst and build the church. Beautiful word. And I studied that word labor in vain. It means empty labor. Empty labor. Going through the motions.

Oh, may God deliver us from empty labor. You know, and I thought about it as I meditated my way through the day to day. And I thought about some of the things that I said last night, you know. We're pretty tough on the evangelical Christianity last night, you know.

And everybody said, Amen. But you know what? There's some pretty dead churches around. In the plain churches too. Pretty dead ones. No life. No fire. No zeal. No burden for souls. Just kind of going through the motions.

Going to church. Singing the songs. Hearing the sermon. Going back home again. Oh, I remember that beautiful testimony. Of the late George Brunk, who is now in heaven. I remember the testimony that he gave.

He was a Mennonite minister. And he went to church Sunday by Sunday. And went through one of those dry services. Where everybody sang the same songs. And he got up and gave the same old message. Only that Sunday, God had been working in his heart.

And he was up to here with a lifeless Christianity. And he came home from the Sunday morning service. And he told his wife. I'm getting in my closet. And I'm either coming out of that closet a different man.

Or I'm not going to get up into the pulpit next Sunday morning. Goodbye. And he shut his closet door. I'm not sure how long he stayed in there. But he stayed in there a long time. Seeking God. For the reality of the grace of God in his life.

That old, that young man did. When he came out of that closet. God had changed him into another man. He was not the same. And he was never the same. Ever since then. And revival broke out in Mennonite churches all over the United States.

And God pees some life into some dead bones. Back in the 1950's. In the 1960's. But that's a long time ago, brothers and sisters. That's a long time ago. Maybe some more of us preachers need to crawl into our closet.

And say, I'm not going to come out. Until God anoints me with the Holy Ghost. And changes me into another man. And I'm not sure why I'm saying all of this. None of it's in my notes. But I'm sure the Lord knows.

What we need to hear this evening. You know, the Lord is not building every church, is he? We fool ourselves. If we think that that dry, lifeless form is the church of Jesus Christ. The church that Jesus built.

We fool ourselves. We deceive ourselves. It's not. So, while we're tough on the evangelicals last night. It's good for us to take a little evaluation ourselves. Brothers and sisters. You know, there's two sides of the ditch on the straight and narrow way.

Two sides. You can fall off and go into liberalism. You can get off on the other side and go into dead formalism. And I'm telling you, both of them are off the straight and narrow way. The straight and narrow way is a holy walk with a holy God.

That's what it is. That's the straight and narrow way. And until we get there, I don't care how many things we do right. We're off. It's a holy walk. That's the straight and narrow way that Jesus talked about.

Hallelujah. Every mile of that straight and narrow road has two miles of ditch on it. Don't forget it. You can go either way you want. There are many examples. Then I thought as we were meditating a bit about the words of Jesus, who said, On this rock I will build my church.

And I thought, Who is the I? Think about that for a moment. Who is this I who said, I will build. He's the king of glory. He's the ancient of days. He's the God of heaven. He's the creator of all things.

He's the king of the universe. And he has some credentials. Look around you. Gaze up at the stars. Some beautiful starry night. Look around at the creation around you. I mean, this God who said, I will build my church.

He's got some good credentials. He knows how to build. And when you begin to realize who God is, and his power, and his grace, and his unlimited ability, it seems a very small thing for him to build a church upon the earth, if he only has some yielded vessels.

It's a very small thing. And I thought about this too. He's the architect. He planned the whole thing out. He's the blueprint. It's all found right in here. He's the foundation. Other foundation can no man lay.

He's the chief cornerstone by which every other part of the building fitly frames together. He is the building. And he is the builder. Why? That Christ may be all and all. That's it. Oh, the sooner we learn that, brothers and sisters, that this whole matter of the Christian life, this whole matter of the church, this whole matter of the testimony of the church upon the earth, it's all about Jesus, and it has nothing to do with us.

All we are is simply servants. All we are is simply vessels that can yield to the master's hand and be a vessel in his hand that he can use, that he can work through. That's all what it is. And wherever God finds that, he can do something.

I'm telling you, he can do something. So this evening, we want to just continue our theme and want to follow this line of thought this evening. We want to look at the prophetic prayers of the master builder this evening.

Jesus Christ's Prophetic Prayer for His Church

The prophetic prayers of the master builder. Do you know that? Do you know those prayers? Have you ever looked at those prophetic prayers that the master builder prayed? Jesus prayed a prophetic prayer.

Jesus prayed a prayer in John chapter 17, which has a lot to do with this whole matter of church life and building church. He prayed a prayer there in John chapter 17, but this prayer was a prophetic prayer.

He was prophesying as he was praying, prophesying into the future, and that prophetic prayer reaches all the way down to us in 2004. It's a beautiful prayer. We want to look at it here this evening. So if you want to, you can open your Bibles to John chapter 17, and let me just read a couple verses for you while you're turning there.

I believe that the prayer that Jesus prayed in John chapter 17, it's also a promise, because when Jesus prays, he gets his prayers answered, and therefore if his prayer is answered, that thing's as good as gold.

It's already ours if we will only believe it. It's like all the other promises in the Bible. They're all yea and amen in Christ Jesus, brothers and sisters, tonight. These words come to my heart out of 2 Peter, in chapter 1, where Peter says, May his grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us.

All things that pertain unto life and godliness, all things, brothers and sisters, that pertain to life and godliness, they're already given unto us according to or out of the divine reservoir of his power.

It's given unto us through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue, whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises. We want to look at some of those this evening, brothers and sisters, some of the exceeding great and precious promises that are given to the children of God in this New Testament age.

Now, we're going to read John chapter 17 and then we're going to meditate our way down through the chapter, but I want you to consider before we read John chapter 17 what John 17 is. You could put it in a whole.

You could take John chapter 13 and go all the way to John chapter 17 and say, this is one whole sermon. Christ is spending the last few hours with his precious disciples. John chapter 13 is the last supper.

John chapter 13, he washes his disciples' feet. John chapter 13, he teaches them about love, the kind of love that they need to have in this New Testament day. He gives them the new commandment of love that they should love one another as he has loved them.

And he's going to show us in just a few chapters how he does love them when he goes to the cross. His heart overflows to them as he teaches them in John chapter 14 about the Holy Ghost, about how the Comforter is going to come and how they're going to need to stand in the midst of all kinds of trials.

He moves into John chapter 15 and gives them that beautiful teaching about abiding in the vine and tells them, I am the vine. He moves on from there to John chapter 16 and gives them some more teaching about the things that are to come and some more teaching about the Spirit of God and the Holy Ghost coming upon them.

And then, after all those things that he teaches them, it's like, okay, now it's time for the closing prayer. And it's interesting, you know, if you've ever noticed closing prayers, you know when a preacher prays at the end of a message, he often prays, lightly touches him his way all the way through the sermon that he just gave.

You study 13, 14, 15 and 16 and then go through and study John chapter 17 and you'll find out that the preacher prayed his way through the sermon that he just finished in those four chapters before. Beautiful!

I just meditated my way through those chapters this afternoon and saw, there it is, there it is, there it is again, there's some more of what he prayed and all the way through those chapters, I saw Jesus was praying the very things that he taught his disciples there in the last hours of his life.

So we want to look at those this evening. Let's begin by reading in John chapter 17 these words speak Jesus and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, he lifted up his eyes and Jesus did that a lot, you know, he knew his father so well that he just talked to him with his eyes open.

He talked to him without bowing his head. He talked to him while he was just walking down the road. He just kind of went in and out, talked to his disciples, then he talked to his father, then he talked to his disciples, then he talked to his father.

And this is one of those situations. He just lifted up his eyes and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify thy son that thy son also may glorify thee. Notice the motivation of Jesus all the way to the end.

It's not about Jesus, it's about his father. As thou hast given him power over all flesh that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal that they might know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

Eternal Life, Idolatry, and Knowing God

Brothers and sisters, it hasn't changed today. This is life eternal. Not that you do these certain things or that you don't do these certain things. This is life eternal. Not that you go to church every Sunday.

Not that you keep the rules and the regulations of the church that you go to every Sunday. This is eternal life. Jesus said, what is eternal life? That they may know thee. That's eternal life. We must measure our experience by the words of Jesus.

Do we have eternal life? Do we have eternal life? Sixty million people in America claim to have eternal life. I said that last evening. What is eternal life? That they may know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

It's beautiful. Let me read you another verse here. The same John who wrote those words recording the prayer of Jesus wrote these words in 1 John 5 and verse 20 in conclusion of the book that we started looking at last evening.

And we know that the Son of God is come and hath given us an understanding that we may know Him that is true. And we are in Him that is true even in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Isn't that beautiful? But listen to the last words that Jesus gives that John gives in 1 John. After making that beautiful conclusion He says these words. Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

And may I just give you a modern translation of those words. Keep yourself from anything that keeps you from being in Him who is eternal life. That's a modern translation of those words. Keep yourselves from idols.

Oh, if there was ever a day in an age when we need to re-evaluate what is idolatry it is this day that we live in we have very sophisticated idolatry in America. Oh no, we don't dance around an idol like they do in Africa and places.

We don't do that. We don't paint our faces with all kinds of stripes and ugly things and put weird looking hats on our masks over our heads and dance around these idols. No, no, we are very sophisticated heathen here in America.

But nevertheless very much given over to idolatry in many, many ways here in America. And we that are in this room are not exempt from those temptations brothers and sisters. That which takes my heart away from that sweet and beautiful knowing relationship is idolatry.

Too strong? It's the truth. It's the truth. So Jesus goes on I have glorified thee on the earth. I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. It must have been a beautiful satisfying word to give to the father.

I have finished the work that you gave me to do. And now oh father glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. Awesome words. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world.

There's the ekklesia brothers and sisters. The men that thou gavest me out of the world. That's the ekklesia. The called out ones. Called out of the world. Called unto Christ. Called out of the world.

Called into the assembly of the Christians. Those that you've given me out of the world. Thine they were and thou gavest them me and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou has given me are of thee.

For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me and they have received them and known surely that I came out from thee and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them. Look at those beautiful words.

I pray for them. And look at verse 20 before we go back. Neither pray I for these alone but for them also which shall believe on me through their word. That puts us in the prayer brothers and sisters.

I pray for them. I pray not for the world but for them which thou has given me for they are thine and all mine are thine and thine are mine and I am glorified in them and now I am no more in the world but these are in the world and I come to thee Holy Father.

Keep through thine own name those whom thou has given me. Now that's the first prophetic prayer that Jesus specifically prayed for these men. Look what he prayed for them. I pray Holy Father keep through thine own name those whom thou has given me.

Jesus promises to keep us. He promises to keep us. Oh you say sometimes my life doesn't feel like Jesus is keeping me. That's not his fault. That may be our own fault. That may be that you know like we said last night maybe maybe things aren't very good for us right now and in the midst of that we're we're wondering why we're not being kept by the power of God.

But Jesus prayed keep them whom thou has given me. These prayers are sure for us today. They're not just for those back there. They fall upon our own hearts and our own lives this evening. And as we consider the whole subject of church and having church and what is the church it's good to know that a prayer was prayed a prayer that was answered already a prayer that is being answered even up until this day a prayer that God will keep us.

We need to be inspired by that. We need to be encouraged by it. These beautiful prayers are still being released today. Keep them Jesus said. And that word keep means to watch guard. It means to watch guard over them.

And God does watch guard over his church. The Bible says the church is the apple of his eye. It's very precious to him. The church is a bride for his son. The father is going to watch guard over his church.

Why? Because the church is the apple of his eye. It's a prophetic prayer to preserve the church of Jesus Christ. You say it doesn't seem that way when I look around me. Well that may be so. We live in sad times.

But that doesn't change the prophetic prayer that Jesus prayed. It only causes us or it should cause us to stop and say Lord why aren't you preserving amen? Why aren't you preserving us? You know there's a lot of things that we can do with all the things that happen in church.

You know? We can say well it's just not the way it used to be. Well the people don't want to do what they used to want to do. Well people are just gospel hardened you know and they don't want to hear the truth.

And well the standard is too high and the people just won't come to us. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Let's get honest and say if these things are not so maybe there's something wrong with us. It's so easy to point to the guy that walked out the door and say yeah well he just didn't want and he didn't and they didn't want this and they were refused that.

Oh wait a minute. Maybe it's us. But Jesus prayed keep them. He said well we had a bunch of young people that just left and went out into the world. Jesus prayed keep them. Watch guard over them Father.

You say well it's sad to look around us. Yeah it is sad to look around us but let's look at the word of God. Because if we will all the promises in the book are mine. Every jot, every tittle, every line they're all yea and amen in Christ Jesus.

Amen. But we need to define what in Christ Jesus is. Don't we. A promise. A prophetic prayer. Keep them. Thine own name. And there's power in that name. I'll tell you. There's power in that name. Those who thou has given me that they may be one.

Even as we are one. While I was with them in the world. I kept them in thy name. Those that thou gavest me I have kept. And none of them is lost but the son of perdition. That the scripture might be fulfilled.

And now come I to thee and these things I speak in the world. That they might have joy. There's the second prayer. Prophetic prayer. That Jesus prayed. Give them joy. Not only do I ask you to keep them in the midst of this confused world.

But I'm asking you also father. That you will give them joy in the midst of this confusing world. Oh what a powerful testimony. Joy is. Joy is magnetic. Joy is drawing. Joy is like salt that creates desire in the hearts of those who don't have it.

Give them joy. Jesus prayed. Give them joy. And oh my I was so thrilled as I remembering some of the things I said last night about joy. And then meditating my way through chapter 13 and all the way through 17 this afternoon.

I found it again and again and again in there. Joy. Joy. And it's the joy like Kenny was talking about last night and again this evening. It's that joy that's deeper than a feeling. It's a joy that's there even when you lost your loved one.

It's a joy that's there even when you're having some financial set back in your life. It's that joy that is there even when things don't go the way you thought maybe they should go. It's that kind of joy that does miraculous things in the heart of a world around us.

That they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. Beautiful. I have given them thy word and the world have hated them because they are not of the world even as I am not of the world. Let's go on to the next one.

What does Jesus pray? He speaks about them being in the world and it's true. We've been taken out of the world, but yet we have a promise that he will keep us in this world. Amen? It doesn't mean that we're supposed to run to the mountains somewhere and hide from everybody.

No! Listen to what Jesus prays. I pray, verse 15, not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. Listen to that. That prophetic prayer that Jesus prayed.

You say, that's not my experience, Brother Denny. That may be so. The world is a powerful draw to me, Brother Denny. That may be so. I have real struggles when I go out into the world. That may be so.

But Jesus prayed, I pray, Father, that thou wouldest not take them out of the world. You know why? Because, because he loves souls. He loves souls. He's left us here so we can win souls. He's left us here that we might walk in this world, that we might win the people of this world, because God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son.

So, it's very clear here, don't send them to the mountains, don't stick them in a monastery somewhere, don't make them so separated that they can't reach out to a world around them. Don't do that, Father.

I pray this instead, Father, keep them from the evil while they're in this world. Now, that's a testimony of the grace of God. Keep them from the evil while they're in this world. You say, well, it's not that way for me.

It's not that way in our church. It's not that way with our people. That may be so, but that doesn't mean that God's wrong. It means we have to go back to the drawing board and say, Lord, what's wrong?

Why are we losing our young people to the world? When Jesus prayed, I pray that thou wouldst keep them from the evil. That's a promise, brother, sister. Keep them from the evil. I saw the title to a book one some time ago, and it's kind of a plea, and maybe it's your plea, too, but here was the title of the book.

How in this world can I be holy? That was the title to the book. How in this world can I be holy? There's only one way. There's only one way. God has us in a corner. We're going to do it His way, or it won't happen.

But you can be holy in this unholy world. It's the in Him experience of the believer. Keep them from evil. Or, and, keep them from the evil one. I like the words of Jesus when He said, the prince of this world is going to be judged, and there's nothing in me.

He has nothing in me. Can we say that tonight? The devil has nothing in me. That's God's will. That's God's will. That you walk through this world, and it's not a powerful magnet that's constantly drawing you.

You see, what people do when they go through the world like that, and they have experiences like that, then what they tend to do is just run off and hide. Run off into the mountains. Go far away from everybody else.

Get way out in the country. Stay out there. Go to town once a month. That's not the answer. You can't run away. You can't change your life that way. That's not the answer. You need God to do something in your heart.

God can keep you from the evil, and it's His will to keep you from the evil in the midst of an evil wicked world. And we'll say more about that tomorrow evening. So I'll force myself to move along here.

By the grace and power of God, we have a promise to preserve us in the midst of this world. Do we believe it, brothers and sisters? Let's believe this prophetic prayer. It's already been answered. Do we believe it?

Sanctification Through Truth

Number four. Notice in verse 17 through 19. Sanctify them. I'm sorry. Let's read verse 16. That's good. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. God help us. Then he goes on and prays another prayer.

And this is his prayer. Sanctify them. Sanctify them. Wow. Not just keep them from evil, but make them holy in the midst of this world. Sanctify them. And that word sanctify means set them apart. Make them holy.

Set them apart for your use and for your service. Sanctify them. Jesus prayed. And that's a beautiful prophetic prayer. And I don't know where you're at tonight as you sit here, but you know, if you're one of those who like Jesus spoke about there in the Sermon on the Mount, who's hungering and thirsting after righteousness, that's good news.

Jesus prayed. Through thy truth, thy word is truth. And also, I'd like us to notice verse 19. This is precious. Listen to the heart of Jesus. And for their sakes, I sanctify myself that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

How did Jesus sanctify himself? He went to the cross. That's what he's speaking about there. I am going to the cross. Why? Oh, so that you can all go to heaven when you die. That's why I'm going to the cross, so you can all go to heaven when you die.

No! Praise God! We will get to go to heaven. But Jesus said, sanctify myself so that they may be sanctified through the truth. Jesus went to the cross that he might produce through his death, through his burial, through his resurrection and ascension a holy people upon this earth.

That's what he was after. Sanctify them through thy truth, thy word. This is it. The word is truth and we have it. We have the whole thing, not just a little, not just a page, not just a chapter, not just one book.

We have the whole thing, the whole thing. All these chapters belong to me. I have a Bible and Jesus said, sanctify them. Jesus also said, teach them because we are sanctified through the truth and the word is the truth.

But if we don't understand the word, we are not going to be sanctified. So Jesus also prayed, teach them, teach them the truth and set them apart by the truth. That's a prophetic prayer. You know, many times we say, Lord, you know, I want the truth.

I want to understand the truth. Teach me the truth. Listen, he's already prayed the prayer. All the truth you want, you can have. All you have to do is open up your heart to it. The truth of the word of God.

And I'll tell you what, you'll be in for the adventure of your life. If you'll give yourself to the truth that are in this book, this book will change your life. It will change it. We're going to say more about that tomorrow morning.

But Jesus prayed a prayer that they would understand the truth and that they would be sanctified by the truth. And that prayer, it's been answered. We just need to believe it. We just need to be in the place where we can receive it.

With an open heaven, receive the word of God. Sanctify them. And teach them the truth. All right, let's move on. We read verse 20 already, so we realize that this prayer is for us also. But let's look at verse 21 now.

Because he's praying something else. He prays also that they all may be one. As thou, art in me and I in thee, that they also may be one in us. Think about that. A prayer for unity was the prayer that he prayed.

He said, well, we don't have unity at our church. He said, well, I don't even have unity in my home. Jesus said, that they may be one. You know what I've often thought many times, brothers and sisters?

You know, I hear a lot. I hear a lot about a lot of churches. Ah, this church is having problems and this church is struggling and this one is going through real problems and this had so many people leaving and, you know, you hear those things all the time.

Don't you hear them too? Let me see your hands. You hear those stories? Many times I've wondered what would happen if everybody would just take a week and seek the face of God with fasting and with prayers and with tears and with brokenness and if everyone would get thoroughly right with God.

I wonder what would happen to their church problems, their church splits, their problems, their young people who left. I wonder what would happen if the whole church would do, you know, like they used to do in the Old Testament day.

They'd just call a solemn assembly, you know, for three days and we're just not going to eat anything. I mean, they got serious in the Old Testament, you know. We're not going to eat and we're not going to drink anything for three days and we're going to stay in our face before God.

Instead, we just, that's the way it is and away goes a dozen young people. Off goes another youth into the world. Jesus said, Father, make them one. But did you notice the text there? How that one takes place, that they may be one in what?

In us, in the Godhead. There's oneness in there. There's oneness in there. There's a glue in there. There's a unity in there that you cannot tear apart. Look at the early church and that's the way it was with them.

They couldn't be divided. The enemy tried everything he could. He couldn't divide him. Tried to persecute him. Couldn't divide him. Tried to scare him. Couldn't divide him. Threatened him. Couldn't divide him.

Beat him. Still couldn't divide them. Why? They were glued together. Why? They were one in the Father and in His Son, Jesus Christ. And that is power. Unity. A prayer to unify them. Four or five times in this text as we're reading, it talks about unity and its importance.

That the world may know. That the world may know. That the world unifies. That the world may know. You know the devil, he attacks unity. He waits. He watches for this one. He attacks unity. He sees a group of believers that are moving forward and they're unified and they've got a oneness of heart there and they have the unity that the Spirit of God gives and the devil watches that, you know, and that's about all he can do is watch it.
