it's deja vu all over again well that's a famous Yogi Bearer quote you know he had
many expressions and quotes but that was one of his most famous ones it's deja vu all over
again and so what is deja vu it's a feeling of having already experienced the present situation
okay it also means already seen so what are we talking about here I heard in church the pastor
used that expression about deja vu and when he said that my mind drifted off to things that
the Lord has shown me over the years that um I couldn't explain but I was basically going through
life and I would be at a certain place or you know location or going somewhere or saying something
and I would actually say out loud I've been here before or I've done this already and I was like
deja vu and I didn't understand it I mean this is 30 40 years ago I did not understand what I
was doing but you know here's the thing God is an eternal God and we were created in His image all
right he is the same yesterday today and forever he cannot change all right now I want to read uh
probably 20 it was 20 years ago the Lord had me study in Ecclesiastes 1 9 and 3 15. and at that
time I was drawing pictures trying to make and get understanding of what he was saying Ecclesiastes 1
9 this is the amplify this is the thing that has been is what will be again okay and that which
has been done is that which will be done again and there is nothing new Under the Sun you're deja vu
all right because whatever is now it has already been done in eternity
Ecclesiastes 3 15 says that which is now already has been and that which is to be already has been
and God seeks that which has passed so that history repeats itself all right now here's what I
believe in all my studies and trying to understand this years ago was we are Eternal beings so it
says in Revelation that Jesus he's the lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world so in
eternity all things have been done and he was the lamb it's like he was crucified before
mankind was created before the worlds were created so everything that has been done in seed form
we've already I'm going to say we've already lived our life we've already done these things we are
just now today walking them out and that's why God requires an account a report for that which we
have done what we are doing because he's bringing is like the if you take the past the present the
future it's already been done in eternity all right but he requires that account because we are
like he has shown us what is to be and now we walk it out uh I had an experience back in 2001.
where the Lord basically showed me the remainder of my life and he told me he sealed it to me I
wasn't going to remember it is what he said you're not going to remember it in your mind
okay my soul won't remember but my spirit will so that as I walk out the rest of my life that
I wouldn't fall into the ditches now I believe that's true for each one of us we have already
I'm going to say like lived our life in the Eternal realm and now we are walking it out in the
natural realm so if you I just want to challenge you to think about some times where you have
um perhaps you're doing something today and you go like I've already been here I've already
done that why is this so familiar because in the Eternal realm it's already done you know there are
um oh who was it um Edison with the light bulb okay he he just
he kept seeking and trying and to get things right he was like tapping into that
Eternal realm of what what had been shown him did he have many failures absolutely but he didn't
look at it that way he said I had one success okay he had a lot of a lot of Misses but he got
it right and I think that's true for all of us we're seeking the thing is we're seeking him all
right sometimes we seek a lot of other Solutions instead of him but when we're seeking the Lord we
are going to find his perfect plan for our life you know he is the Alpha and Omega he is the
beginning and the end he is the Lord that abides in us forever okay so um the word Deja Vu like I
said it means already seen and I believe the Lord has already shown us his plan for our life it's us
tapping into him seeking him and really seeing our plan and purpose what he has for us
um I believe we're in a time of an open door and remember the veil of the temple was rent
so what does that mean we can come up here to him all right and see his plan and walk it out
I think we would avoid uh a lot of pitfalls a lot of challenges in our life if we did that okay so
uh might sound a little bit crazy to some people but we are Eternal beings and God does require
an account of what he has shown us so just think about in your own life some things that you are
doing or have done and you go like I've been there and done this before is because God has already
shown you and why you know I think many times is to prevent us from getting off track okay uh
marriages okay sometimes you know we think we're in love and is it really love are we seeking just
because we're lonely or afraid or whatever you know we're getting older we think our uh
you know we're never going to get married I don't know what it is you know or colleges you know kids
going off to college are they seeking you know God's will and you know or a job you know what
are we supposed to be doing with our life so so many different things so just see what the Lord
is saying to you and remember you know he requires an account of what he's given us okay sometimes
it takes us a while to get back on track and to come into his perfect will all right deja vu all
over again if you feel like you've already done it you have all right okay till next time be blessed
