Today's special guest is Benny Hinn. Now, may I introduce to you Benny Hinn. Paul the Apostle spoke these words and said, And to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. And to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge that you might be filled with all the fullness of God. and now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us unto him be glory in the church by christ jesus throughout all ages world without end and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge that you might be filled with all the fullness of God the Bible says clearly that before we can receive the fullness of the Godhead we must come To the knowledge of the love of Christ. Paul said. And to know the love of Christ. Number one. That. Once you know the love of Jesus. And to know the love of Christ. Which path of knowledge. That. So. After you know the love of Christ That you may be filled with all the fullness of God You see If you don't know that Jesus Christ loves you If you don't know that Jesus does not condemn Jesus does not condemn Jesus loves you the way you are Jesus loves you the way you are Jesus loves you the way you are if you don't know that he loves you how can you be filled with God how can you be filled with the fullness of God you see Knowing that he loves me brings a freedom, enables me to come in simplicity and say, Father, please give me. Father, please touch me. Father, please meet my needs. How can I talk to him like his son? If the knowledge of Christ is not within me You see Some have no idea What Jesus is like They think that Jesus is sitting on the throne With a great big sword in his hand ready to punish all those That fall into sin. They have no idea that. Jesus has his arms wide open. And tears in his eyes waiting for them. They have no idea. That he said to a woman. Who in the eyes of the Jews. Was a sinner He said daughter Where are your accusers where are those that condemn you They're not here master she said Neither do I condemn you Your sins are forgiven you Go and sin no more Paul said who is he that condemneth? Yea Christ has died He does not condemn He died To remove condemnation He loves you do you understand that? pray that the Holy Spirit tonight would reveal this great truth to you please open our understanding don't let anyone leave this place the same open our understanding you see the Bible said We must know the love of Jesus first Then we can be filled with the fullness of God and Then the verse that follows says now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think What is the secret of receiving What is the secret of answered prayer? What is the secret of receiving exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think? When I go to God the Father and say, Father, please Father, would you save my friend? But instead of him answering just one prayer, he gives me abundantly. He answers beyond my asking. he answers beyond me beyond what i've asked for above all that i asked or even thought of he gave me you see what is the secret of receiving how can i get to the place where i can receive i must know the love of christ first Once I discover the love of Jesus, it's so easy to receive after that. Do you know why some have not and cannot receive? Do you know why some ask and ask and ask and ask and yet can never get to the place where they can be like little children? They're always in a place where they try to impress God with their words Listen There are these who stand before the Father and Use such fancy language with him that I think God the Father shuts his ears when they start praying They use such fancy language There isn't that beautiful relationship and communion that comes through knowing Jesus loves me. He died for me. I am not condemned. I am loved. I am not judged. I am loved. I am standing before him. Holy, acceptable, perfect like Jesus is. Because he loves me. What is it to know the love of Jesus? I'll tell you a story. My mom and my dad and my family, a few years ago, were not Christians. And in a home like ours, an Israeli home, because I became a Christian many years before that, There was a lot of pain and problems. They did not understand how I could change. And many, many days there was just so much pain and misunderstanding and hurt. My dad was a very strong man. What he said is law and cannot be changed. He used to say to me, You're not going to any church tonight. And I used to go and pray, Jesus, change his mind, please. And I used to go downstairs and say, may I go? No, you can't. Go back upstairs and say, Jesus, change his mind, please. God, of course, saved him in one of my own meetings a few years ago. But during that period when it was very hard. I remember one evening, I sat up in bed. I was crying. I said, Jesus, I said, I'm so lonely. I said, you've been so great and so gracious and so merciful. But I'm going to ask you one favor. I feel like I don't... really deserve it master i said i remember the exact words i even said to him i said lord it's so hard being a christian in this house i said to him your word tells me over and over that you love me but would you do me a favor tonight would you come and tell me that tonight I felt like, who are you to ask Jesus to do that? Then I said quickly, I said, Lord, please don't be angry with me. And I slept. I very honestly asked Jesus to come and tell me that he loved me. I said to him, I know your word says it, but would you come and tell me that? In the middle of the night, suddenly my room, as I was sleeping, now remember I was sleeping. My room got this thick feeling suddenly that just came in. As though the air was literally thick. And I awoke. As I was waking up, I heard a voice. As audible. It was like rushing waters. The only way I can describe his voice was like thick, thick, thick water. It sounded like a great river rushing towards me. And he said, I love you. And the room shook. And I sat up in bed scared. I was so odd. That I honestly thought. My body was going to explode. So great was the power when he spoke. He said, I love you. This is the truth before God. It has happened. Right after that, I was so awed. I put my hands up. And began singing all by myself in my room. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I just kept on singing. And I fell right to sleep again. In the morning when I woke up. Is when I was really scared. All day long. I walked in a daze. Jesus himself came and told me he loved me. Because I asked him to do it. A Muslim lady was saved in one of our meetings. But her salvation is a real story. She came to the service. She did not come forward for salvation. Rather, she went home. After seeing the miracles and after seeing the power of God. She got in her room and she said, Jesus. She said, I am a Muslim. This man tonight was talking about you Lord She said I really don't know whether you're really alive But she said I know nothing about you. I'm a Muslim. Would you please come and let me see you she said Instantly as she was speaking Jesus appeared to her in her room She fell on the part of God and was born again All because she went to him and she said, Lord, I'm a Muslim. I don't know who you are, but this man tonight was talking about you. And Jesus appeared to her. She was born again. Who can understand his love? Do you know how much he loves you? He loves you to the place. For every single moment, He is waiting for you to come in fellowship with Him. He stands with arms wide open, waiting for me to talk to Him. He's constantly interceding for me when I fail and fall. When I am weak and confused. He before the throne of the father. Intercedes for me constantly. He is my great high priest. My redeemer. And I will not fail. As long as Jesus is mine. And I am his. Jesus said ask. Ask in my name, it shall be given unto you. Seek, you'll find. Knock, the door will be opened. He said to the Jews, if you fathers being evil know how to give good gifts, how much more shall the heavenly father give to them that ask him? How many of you here are fathers? Put your hand up high. Sir, if your son came to you and asked you for a piece of bread, would you give him a stone, sir? You'd give him bread, won't you? Sir, if your son came and asked you for a piece of meat, would you give him a snake, sir, to eat? What would you give him? Meat. If he came and asked you for a dollar, and so it was the last dollar you had, Would you give it to him? He is your son. You love him. Jesus said, if you fathers, being evil, know how to give good gifts, how much more shall the Heavenly Father give to them that ask him? Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. When I ask him for anything he gives me so much more. So much more. But there is a secret. I must go to him like a little simple child. But I will never become a little child until I know the love of Jesus. You see. I must know He loves me before I can go to Him in freedom and boldness and liberty. I don't go to Him with fear. I go to Him as a son. I don't go to Him with condemnation. I go to Him free from all condemnation. I don't go to Him with filth. I go to Him with the blood of His Son that's washed and made me clean. Jesus said, ask. Now everybody in this place has needs tonight. Please people, if you only know how much he loves you, you will never, you will never, you will never be in the place where you are afraid to ask and ask largely. Some are so afraid to ask, they feel they don't deserve it. God loves you, my brother. God loves you, my sister. Jesus paid the heaviest price, his own life, to see you abundantly blessed. Why don't you ask? Don't you know he loves you? This is the simplest message. You know, a little child can understand what I'm talking about. Amen. Went to study the scripture. A very intelligent mind. And so for two years he went to study the Bible. Two years later he came back and everybody wanted to know. What did he find in the Bible? What great secrets did he find? What great revelations did he find? And everybody gathered around hoping for a great big answer. And he said you know what I found after two years of study. For he was a great mind that the world respected. His name is Mr. Bach. He said, I tell you what I found. Jesus loves me. This I know. For the Bible tells me so. Is that what you found? They said, after two years of study. He said, yes. The whole Bible says, Jesus loves me. Jesus loves me. Jesus loves me. I am so special. I am so special. Jesus loves me. Jesus loves me so much that if I am the only sinner on earth, he would have still come and died just for me, the only sinner on earth. That's how much he loves me. Paul the apostle cries and says in Romans, he that spared not his own son but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him freely? freely, without charge, give us all things. Not 50%, all things. Do you know how to ask? He said, if you ask, you'll be given. Everyone in this place tonight can receive if they only ask like a little child. Don't try to impress him. He loves you. And that is final. You can't add anything to his work. You can't take away anything from what he's done. All you have to do is just come and stand. And say, Jesus, you love me. And because you love me, would you please heal my sickness? And he will do exceeding abundantly. above all that you ask or think when you ask like a little child you've got broken homes some of you have broken families some of you have broken lives let Jesus tonight put it back together When I was a little kid, my father went one day to an island called Cyprus beside Israel. And I love guns. Oh man, I love guns. So I said to him, I said, father, I said, listen papa, I said, can you bring me a gun with you? So my dad brought me the nicest gun. Big, nice, with red and everything on it. Three months later, my gun broke. I mean, he just broke badly. You know what I did with it? Just like that. I didn't take the gun and try to figure out what do I do with it now. No. I took the gun and just like that. I took it and I said, Father, would you fix it? I never asked, can he fix it? I never knew, would he be angry because I broke the gun? It was so natural, so normal. i knew he loved me and because that knowledge was within me i could take that gun with knowing he's not going to hit me or slap me he's not going to say to me why did you break that gun he's not going to condemn me he's going to take it and fix it without a word i knew he loved me and so i had no doubts about his love i had no doubts he was going to fix it i just knew it you know what he did he fixed it and gave it back to me guess what i did i broke it again i took it back i was never with any doubts in me i knew he loved me i knew he loved me i knew he loved me to know the love of christ i knew he loved me so i took my broken gun back again fix it he fixed it i broke it one more time i had no more questions i took it back and i kept on doing it all the time until the gun A few years passed. It was no good, so I threw it away and bought a new one. But do you see what I'm talking about? I knew that my father loved me. I had no questions when that gun broke. I didn't say, he's going to now punish me. He's going to condemn me. He's going to call me stupid. He's going to say, why did you do that? Don't you know I paid for it? No, I had none of this. All I knew is he loved me. And was going to fix it. And he did. If earthly fathers. Love their children. How much more. Will the heavenly father. Who proved it by the death of his son. How much more does he love you. You have broken lives. Like I broke my gun You've broken your own life over and over and you keep on falling and failing He'll not condemn you Would you take it to him and say fix it Jesus fix it And I promise you he will not condemn you He'll fix it and say, go and sin no more. You see, if you love him, you won't sin against him. But you'll fail out of weakness. I have to go to him every single day and say, forgive my sins. You know, John Wesley said, there isn't a day I live without being washed clean and fresh by the blood of Jesus. Every single day, I have to go and ask him to wash me again with his blood. Before every service, I have to ask him, wash me with your blood so I can minister. There isn't a day that I have lived, but I failed and I sinned. I'm human. We'll never be perfect until we see Jesus face to face. That's the only time and forever we're going to be perfect when we see him. But while we're still here, let's take our burdens to him. Let's take our broken lives to him. Let's take everything to him. To know the love of Christ. That path is knowledge. Now unto him that's able to do exceeding abundantly. Above all that we ask or think. To him be glory forever. Please stand to your feet. Do you know he loves you? Would you put your hands up and just give him that broken life? Give him everything.
