Something About That Name

This virtual chaos. Dr. Tony Evans is the Bible's descriptions of Jesus include something to meet every need only this is the alternative with Dr. Tony Parker speaker, pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas Texas and president of the urban alternative if you're waiting on God for a breakthrough or a come back, you're in for some encouragement today as Dr. Evans looks at some names used to describe Jesus that are packed with promises. Let's join him some years ago in Iowa there was a storm of wicked storm that was a boy carrying a much young man on his shoulders, whisking him out of the wicked storm man saw saw this boy carrying this heavier young man and just mentioned, as he tried the whiskey away to safety from the storm. So I met that boy you carrying sure looks heavy through which the young man said well he's not heavy, he's my brother. He was carrying the weight of a relative on his shoulders to get them away from the storm because he was not able to do so on his own. Sometimes life gets so stormy on us. We need somebody who can carry is on the shoulders sometimes life gets so difficult and challenging that becomes clear we're not going to make it on our own and we need somebody's shoulder that we can legal we are told in Isaiah chapter 9 verses six and seven that there would be a son given and a child, the son would not be born, the son would be given only the child with people so the child came into existence because it was bulldog, but the sun preexisted because the sun was born the son was given this is a Old Testament statement of what would come almost 700 years later in Bethlehem with the incarnation of God in the person of Jesus Christ.

The second person of the Trinity, the son of God become a child or to put it in simple language. Delia diapers the eternal son of God become a person pouring all deity into a vessel of humanity, making him the most unique person to ever live. Both God and man.

Son of God and Son of Man, which hold that this unique person. The son given and the child born would carry the government on his shoulders. The government on his shoulders know what the government, a government is a system that is designed to look after the well being a bit since the government is a system of political system designed to care for. If it's safe government the well-being of those persons who make up the society of the oversight of the government.

According to the prophet Isaiah, the son given in the child born would carry the government and the weight of it all on his shoulders.

He said another way, what these two verses are saying to you and me in four different ways is that you will Jesus will be delighted to give you a piggyback ride. There are times when my grandkids a couple of the house and got on my back for a piggyback when they got on my back for piggyback ride what they are expecting is I will drop him what they are expecting is I will hold them up.

And what expecting is that I'll take them from point a to point see whatever the concluding point is that I will take them there safely. In other words thereby do on the fact that if they put that weight on the data and I will carry them from here what Jesus is saying to you and me today if you will let him govern for the government shall be on his shoulders. If you will let him govern. It will give you a piggyback ride all our soul derived because he will bath the government of your life. If you are a believer you will carry the weight of it on his shoulders carrying the weight of governing you on shoulders that means you have to be way down. Hold your social because he says I will carry the weight of the government on my shoulders physically for the whole world in the future.

Currently right now for the church of Jesus Christ and his people, so I'm going to now tell you through the apostle through the prophet Isaiah, what it will look like for you and me individually for you as a family as a church, and whatever degree we can influence society what it will look like by Jesus's name.

If you and I will allow him to governance for the government shall be on his shoulders, job, government is to oversee the well-being of its citizens. Name shall be called when looking at the names of Jesus, the son given the child born Delia diapers and his name shall be called. This is how you will be able to identify him if he government you he says. First of all, you will call him wonderful counselor. The first title if you governing is he will be your personal wonderful counselor counselor is somebody you go to for advice and counsel is somebody you go to for guidance account is somebody you go to for direction account play somebody you go to for clarity. Counselor is somebody you go to design what your best next step ought to be in some area of your life. Jesus is here to tell you today. If you govern you will be you and ask God in our advisor. He will blow your mind that if you let me govern and you put the weight of your life and your world on my shoulders.

I will give you the guidance the knowledge the wisdom for directing your life better than you could ever directly.

Own your own most of us have been alive long enough and most of us have messed up sufficient to note itself counsel sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. But he said if you will put your life on I will govern you in such a way that I will counsel you in the best passable way for managing your life. Psalm 7324 says that God guides us with his counsel. Psalm 32 verse eight says he guides us in the way we want to go first John chapter 5 verse 20 says he will give you understanding you say the Raven wildlife gets so distorted for us if we leave tomorrow. I made every body and he have a multitude of sins, some good some bad, some not so we call what you think about this when you think about that. Do we think I should we go to and some of us a bit messed up by counsel because they counseled us in the wrong direction or they counseled us based on that messed up background.

Other people go to Basra counseled the people, the fortunetellers, the Council lines on your hand to determine what you are to do other people go to the home or drugs, helping them to deal with things in their life but Jesus here wants you to know if you will. His name is wonderful, counselor why because Colossians chapter 2 verses two and three says in Christ Jesus is all knowledge and wisdom of God.

In other words, the reason why he is a wonderful counselor if he knows every subject completely. In other words, what makes him a magnificent if you can bring up the subject of which he doesn't have full knowledge because he's God, not only does he have full knowledge because the sun was given will experience because the sun became a child. That's why the book of Hebrews says in chapter 2 verses 17 and 18 it says that he became like us so he could only can counsel you with his knowledge he can counsel you with his experience and is nothing like having a counselor who had the information and experience to be your advise when Dr. Evans comes back in just a moment to talk about some differences between a human and a heavenly counselor for so don't miss your last chance to take advantage of our current special offer.

So if you want to. From this point in your life move forward with the right kind of decisions through the twists and turns of life that I would suggest you make Jesus Christ your chief counselor because it will save you time and money if you will start with him get his advice on that so that you will not have to dig yourself out of another whole. Most of us need a counselor for companies. What we need one to not get in trouble but most of the time is to get us. We need a counselor to help us to know what to do because what we are doing is not working and we need somebody to lead us in the way we all go and so as a result of that we go to a counselor and seek their help. What is so good at my advice that if you will follow me, you won't get in the home so good in my life.

If you all get you off after the because I know all the syncretic elements of the whole UA I know where you came from and what you need to do to get out of it because I like to know where all the roads intersect and I know where the detours where the exits in full knowledge that God says how much knowledge he has, because the Scripture says in Isaiah 40 verse 13 and 14 who can counsel me from removal tool. Does the Lord go for instruction, in other words, there is no information that you can give me. You don't come out with a new situation that I've never seen before that open up a book and read about. I got to go to the library to study why got to go to a college David put it this way since I started getting advice from God. I know more than my teacher came up here some universities will tell you how the world they will give you some nonconsent cycle life that scientifically knowledge with degrees about a Big Bang about an amoeba or about matter or some other illusionary is and if you want what Genesis 11 no more teachers in the beginning God created heaven why because when you start with God you say time you save energy. You shall not say pain because he is a wonderful counselor to put it this way, God.

Where should we go the words of life. What a human got as much limitations as nothing wrong with getting advice from humans as long as is consistent with the price from God because he is the wonderful counselor if God is allowed to will you we will blow your mind with what he knows the worst thing you can do is given. Dr. prescribes wrong medicine.

I was a boy and I have no bad problem with asthma every week. I went to the hospital to get shots for my asthma. They had the dance back then like they are now with with asthma so I have these asthmatic attacks heaving for Aaron my father every weekend to take me to the doctor at one time this doctor had put the wrong medicine in the syringe and gave it to me and as my father reminds me of it now because it's very clear.

This memory is that we thought we were going to lose because of Dr. Woody degree in education, with knowledge with background and experience gave me the wrong mass you need a great physician, wonderful counselor who knows what he's doing somebody in your life will tell you how to live and how not to live it.

What you what not to do well go where not to go, what not to think whether it's right is wrong because we don't get that kind of counsel. So go to counselors to get an endorsement go to counsel get somebody to agree with counsel to get counseling go to counseling to get an okay for the decision already made. The counselor doesn't give them the decision that they've already made one of the counselor and they will go from counsel to counsel to counsel until they find the agree.

I have had the experience of people walked out of my office. We made one counseling because the prescription given, though it could be based on the word of God because of what they wanted to do something they thought they would like doing what people at school because they did a great what Jesus wanted you to know John 770 wonderful counselor and you already got your decision-making. You will get no new information from because knowledge is from the proud, you already know why you come if you want the one counseling if you want this to work for you, then you are going to have to recognize that he knows more than you do about the place we get lost in one place God because it is easy to get lost is called life. You think one way happens and it turned you left I turned right down to a God for life. Jesus says God for life wonderful at my job. I am the one, because I never make mistakes in my account every experience what it's like to enter into a right relationship with God through Christ and experience the kind of closeness. Dr. Evans was describing his back now with a thought about how that can happen for you today. If you want to know for certain that you on your way to heaven when you die.
