One King, One Name

Salute To The Misfits

SPEAKER_00 0:00

It is to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the ones who see the world differently, who don't fit neatly into boxes, and refuse to live by someone else's script. You can quote them, you can disagree with them, you can glorify them or vilify them, you can shake your head at their ideas or be inspired by their courage. But the one thing you cannot do is ignore them. Because they change things. They disrupt what's comfortable, they challenge what's normal, and they push the human race forward. Sometimes with loud revolutions, sometimes with quiet persistence that changes everything over time. They see possibility where others see limits. They dare to dream out loud when the world tells them to be silent. They take risks, they stumble, they rise again, and they keep going. Not because it's easy, but because they can't imagine doing anything else. These are the ones who remind us that every great leap forward was once considered impossible. So here's to them: the ones who won't sit down, won't be quiet, and won't stop until the world is different. Because they're the reason it will be.

SPEAKER_02 3:30

And we're going to call this episode One King, One Name. Because if you look at history, all throughout history, there's a human aspect to it. Everything you see, everything you've learned, and everything that this matrix or this outline that you are brought into teaches you. It's very human. And what I'm talking about is wanting control. You see, humans build systems, chase success, form identities. We create our own little kingdoms, right? Or do we? Correct? Evil and good. But we have been given systems, and we like to be in charge of those systems. Like a rank and file, like the military, like any job you go to. You see. There I go again. You see, you see, no, we're not gonna do that today. We're not gonna do that today. History, and if you look in our own lives, and you look at the history, we're reminded of something very, very, very uncomfortable. Because, you know, we like to think we are in control, but we're not in control. In fact, uh, I talked to Nikita quite often. Nikita Kolov, the eight-time world champion wrestler, the Russian nightmare, now known as the Devil's Nightmare. But anyway, I talked to him and and I talk. I like to talk, you know. I'll be saying, man, I just can't control, I can't, I can't fix this. I'll find myself saying, I can't fix this, or I can't do this. And Nikita will remind me that I keep saying, I because it's not about me, and I'm not the one in control. But you see, my whole life I think I'm a fixer, right? I fixed things at work, I fixed contracts, I called banks. When there was a problem at the house, I could normally fix it, usually with money, that sort of thing. But you see, that's not really fixing anything. That's patching it up, that's uh fighting symptoms, same thing we do with modern medicine, and that's done for money. But like I said, we're not nearly in as control as we think. If you look at history, nations rise and fall, plans that people have, goals that people have collapse because people change, environments change, atmospheres change, and even our strongest convictions can be shaken to the core and changed. And if you look at the Bible, the prophet Zechariah speaks for a time just like this. That time was then, but this time is ours. But let me put them together for you. If you turn your Bible to Zechariah 14 9, the Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day, there will be one Lord in his name, the only name. So let's go back in time. Let's time travel, if you will. Picture back in those days, Zechariah is describing the whole scene. Jerusalem's under pressure, nations are gathering, chaos is building, and there is total fear in the region. And nowadays you can look and say the world. It's not really peaceful, it's not really polished, and it's not predictable at all like it normally is, right? That's why it sounds a lot like today. Division, conflict, truths competing against each other. Everybody claiming they know the truth. Everyone saying this is facts. But in that day, in the middle of all that noise, God made a declaration. He said, I will be king over all of it. Not just a little bit of it, not just part of it, not just the people, not just the land, but all of it. You see, the prophet Zechariah calls it that day. That day. Kind of like a moment in time when history just stops and pivots and moves. A day when God just doesn't work behind the scenes, but he steps out in the open where the truth is undeniable. Guys, this chapter describes dramatic imagery, like land splitting, waters flowing, light breaking through darkness. You know how our imaginations get. We watched movies growing up. But if you look at Zechariah 14 8, it says, On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east of the Dead Sea, and half of it west of the Mediterranean Sea in summer and in winter. That's Zechariah 14.8, which reads and means that even creation responds when God moves. Dry places do not stay dry, dead things do not stay dead. What was once lifeless begins to flow again when God moves. Look at today. Look at right now. The world operates in a system where there are many gods, where there are many lords. And you might say, B Rob, what do you mean? I tell you what I mean. Money tells you what matters, right? Culture and society tells you who to be and how to act. Fear, which is false evidence appearing real, tells you what to avoid, right? Even when it might be a blessing. And pride, one of the most evil things of all times, tells you to rely on yourself as you are God. And I've heard it say by a lot of these new age people. We are God. We are made in the image of God. We are God. God lives inside us. Well, that last statement has some truth to it. You see, God gives you the choice. You get to choose to invite Jesus and the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit, into your life, into your heart. That's your choice. But you can't just walk around and say, I'm Jesus and quote one scripture that says, You will do greater things than I have done. You will do miracles. No, it doesn't work that way. But the truth is, all these things tell you who to be, how to act, and what matters. But in Zechariah, it cuts through all of it. Zechariah 14, 9, there will be one God in his name, the only name. That wasn't just a statement for now. And it's not just a statement about the future, it's a challenge about the present. I meant that wasn't just a statement about back then and his now. You know what I mean? But the fact is, it's a challenge for right now, the present, that gift that God gave you today called the present. Why do you think presents are called presents? So you got to ask yourself right now what rules you? Because the fact is, the truth is, whatever you obey, whatever you trust above everything else, that is your God, that is your Lord, and that is a fact. And the New Testament even picks up the same promise of Zechariah and points us to fulfillment. If you turn to Philippians 2, chapter 2, verse 9 through 11. Oof, nine eleven. Imagine that. Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth under the earth and under the earth. And every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. One name above every name. The same thing Zachariah saw in the distance, it became revealed to Yeshua. A king. Not just a king of a nation, but a king over all creation. Let's say that again. Not just a king over a nation, but a king over all creation. Sounds like a song. Sounds like a song. I mean, think about it, guys. Think about a time when your life was falling apart. I can tell you not too long ago where I thought the same thing. Not some small inconvenience, but some real life shaking up. It could be financially. It could be a relationship. It could be a plan that you really, really, really, really was looking forward to, and it fell through. A door that was slammed in your face that you thought God had opened. Had it many a times happen to me. Because you know what? I was being selfish. It wasn't what God wanted. That exposed something. It exposed what I was depending on. Because you see, when your kingdom gets shaken, you find out who your real king is. And nine times out of ten, there might be that one time, but nine times out of ten, God allows the shaking of your kingdom not to destroy you, not to put you down. But he allows the shaking just to reveal what actually cannot be shaken. The one thing that we do not seek first a lot of times, because this world tells us what to do. You see, in Hebrews 12, verse 28, it says, Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful. So we worship God acceptably with reverence and awe. That should tell you right there. Everything else in your life will move. Everything else in your life will shift. Everything else in your life may stop and pivot. But God's rule is unshakable. The name of Yeshua is unchanging. He is the son of man. His name is unchanging. His authority is final. Zechariah 14 9 isn't just about what will happen. It's about what you need to do today. Right now. Because one day every knee will bow, but today you get to choose to bow willingly. You get to say, God, I'm done with building my own throne. I'm done with being my own manager. I'm done with chasing things that are gonna fall away and move and eventually end. But we know you don't have an end. We know you are the king, the beginning and the end. And the beautiful part, the beautiful part, guys, if you're listening, the beautiful part is when you surrender to God's rule, when you surrender to God, when you give everything to God, you don't lose your life. You find it. You lost a fake life, you lost fake news and found the truth. So, guys, when the world feels crazy like it does right now, when there are so many different voices seeking your attention, you can't even go on the internet without being bombarded like you're walking down uh Times Square with all the ads and stuff blinking in your face, or uh Nashville, or uh Used to be the grand strand at Myrtle Beach. Uh, I can think of a lot of things, but you know what I'm talking about. There's so much competing. Distractions. You see all this noise going on, distractions. But in all the chaos, in all the distractions, in all the fear, you can hold on to one truth. The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day, there will be one Lord in his name, the only name. That's Zechariah 14:9. There'll be one king, one name, one unshakable reality. And it's not just coming, it's already breaking in. Can you not feel it? Can you not see? Let's go to the Lord in prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, we come to you today, Lord. We just we just thank you. We thank you for giving that, giving us the choice to ask you, to ask your son to come and live in our hearts. To ask the Holy Spirit to direct us on our path, to lay down our selfishness, to lay down our pride, to lay down our fear and follow Christ. We thank you, Lord, for the grace that you have given us in this opportunity to be able to choose. We thank you, Lord, for the truth that you give us. Where the light shines through the darkness, and we have the spirit of truth and discernment. We pray for everybody who is listening today that they may receive a spiritual word from this message. We pray that if they do not know Christ, that they will invite Christ into their heart and they will follow him. Lord, we love you, we thank you, we praise you in all your glory. It's in your Son's name, Yeshua, Jesus, the Son of God, the Son of Man, the Redeemer, heavenly and divine. Amen and hallelujah. Well, guys, thank you. It's been fun. I love you.
