00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,900
We are glad that you have joined

Now, let's open God's word and 

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,100
ask him to reveal his truths for
our lives. 

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,900
You have your bibles. 
If you would go with me to John 

9
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:39,900
in the 16th chapter, John, 
chapter 16. 

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,900
As We are continuing our journey
through the Gospel of John. 

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,400
I want to go back about two 
chapters though before we start 

12
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,800
in 16, and I want to remind you 
of something, don't worry, I'm 

13
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,100
not going to go back and start 
at 14 and preach through that 

14
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:56,900
again, but I want to go back and
remind you of something that we 

15
00:00:56,900 --> 00:01:01,000
saw in the 14th chapter. 
Very important promise that 

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,100
Jesus made to his disciples. 
He promised them that the 

17
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:11,100
indwelling of the paraclete, the
third person of the trinity, The

18
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:14,700
Holy Spirit, The Advocate, the 
comforter, the counselor, many 

19
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:18,200
of those terms are used to 
describe the Holy Ghost. 

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,900
Jesus was promising there in 
John, chapter 14, the indwelling

21
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:25,400
of the Holy Spirit, he said he's
here with you now, but he will 

22
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:31,000
be in you and he began to teach 
his disciples about the Holy 

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,600
Spirit and how the Holy Spirit 
would indwell all True. 

24
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:40,300
Believers it. 
So now here we find ourselves in

25
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:47,900
John in the 16th chapter we find
Jesus and his disciples walking 

26
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:51,300
closer and closer 
minute-by-minute hour-by-hour to

27
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:55,200
the Cross where Jesus would 
atone for the sin of those who 

28
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,700
would believe. 
However, He's going to take the 

29
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:03,100
time and I'm very appreciative 
of this time. 

30
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:07,700
As a Believer, he is going to 
take the time to remind them of 

31
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:12,700
what he had already promised 
them in chapter 14 and in this 

32
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:16,000
he is actually going to 
elaborate in their knowledge 

33
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
about what exactly the holy 
spirit is going to do when he 

34
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,100
does come down upon them. 
And upon this Earth to do the 

35
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:32,100
will of God and so we see in 
John chapter 16, The disciples 

36
00:02:32,100 --> 00:02:36,700
full of grief knowing. 
And in just a little while, 

37
00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:40,600
their lord and savior, they 
walked with who they've ate 

38
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,700
with, who they fellowship with, 
who they've learned from. 

39
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,400
He is going to depart, how do 
they know this? 

40
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,300
He keeps telling them this, that
he came from the father and he's

41
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:54,400
going to return to the father 
that before that can happen. 

42
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,500
There must be his death, his 
burial, his resurrection, and 

43
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:04,100
then his Ascension where he will
Ascend to the father and his 

44
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:07,700
disciples are Grieving here. 
Rightfully so wouldn't you and 

45
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:10,000
your Humanity grieve? 
If you knew that your best 

46
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
friend only had seemingly hours 
upon the Earth left, And here 

47
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,400
they are grieving and they are 
grieving the fact that Jesus is 

48
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,200
going to leave them. 
He's going to remind him of what

49
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,500
he's already promised them in 
chapter 14. 

50
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:30,500
The comforter is going to remind
them of the Holy Spirit and he's

51
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:33,500
going to remind them that the 
holy spirit is going to do a 

52
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:36,000
continual work and so that's 
what we're going to look at 

53
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,200
today. 
The continual work of the 

54
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,500
promised Holy Spirit, the holy 
spirit is going to continue to 

55
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:47,400
work and Jesus is going to make 
sure that they know this and 

56
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,600
he's going to tell them this so 
that they will. 

57
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,000
Tensed, in the promise of the 
holy spirit. 

58
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:58,500
So we read together this entire 
text that we will be looking at 

59
00:03:58,500 --> 00:03:59,700
Today. 
Chapter 16. 

60
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:03,600
We'll look at verse 5, all the 
way to 15 verse 5 says this. 

61
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:09,500
Now I am going to him who sent 
me going back to the father yet?

62
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:11,800
None of you asked me. 
Where are you going? 

63
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,300
Remember before? 
When he said he was going away, 

64
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:14,600
they said, where you going 
wherever you're going. 

65
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,899
That's where we want to go, and 
Jesus can't go with me there. 

66
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:21,100
He said you can't go with me. 
There you will later but you 

67
00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:25,000
can't now this time they are so 
stricken with grief that they 

68
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,600
don't even ask that question. 
He says, in verse 6 because I 

69
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,600
have said these things you were 
filled with grief. 

70
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:36,100
But I tell you the truth, it is 
for your good, that I'm going 

71
00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:40,400
away unless I go away the 
counselor will not come to you 

72
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,400
but if I go I will send him to 
you. 

73
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:49,300
He's saying it's for your good 
that I go away because I 

74
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:53,200
promised you the comforter the 
Holy Spirit and that promise is 

75
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,100
true. 
He is going to come unto you and

76
00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:58,600
to live in you just as I have 
promised. 

77
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:02,900
Verse 8 says, when he comes, he 
will convict the world of guilt 

78
00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:07,400
and regard to sin, and 
righteousness and judgment in 

79
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,800
regard to sin because men do not
believe in me and regard to 

80
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,900
righteousness because I am going
to the father where you can see 

81
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:19,200
me no longer and in regard to 
judgment because the prince of 

82
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,400
this world, now stands 
condemned, why would he bring 

83
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,800
the prince of the world? 
Satan into this conversation, 

84
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,700
we're going to see that. 
It's very important that he did 

85
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:30,300
in just a moment. 
He says in verse 12 I have much 

86
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:35,000
more to say to you more than you
can now bear but when he the 

87
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,700
spirit of truth comes he will 
guide you into all truth. 

88
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:44,800
He will not speak on his own, he
will speak only what he hears 

89
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,300
and he will tell you what is yet
to come. 

90
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:52,900
He will bring Glory To Me by 
taking from what is mine and 

91
00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:57,600
making it known to you. 
All that belongs to the father 

92
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,100
is mine. 
That is why I said the spirit 

93
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:03,800
will take from what is mine and 
make it known to you everybody. 

94
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,500
See how that's working there in 
the economical Trinity? 

95
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,800
He's saying the father has given
unto me. 

96
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:12,800
I shall give unto the spirit and
it's going to work like that. 

97
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,100
What the spirit gives to you is 
what comes from the father to me

98
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,700
to you. 
He's not going to give you 

99
00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:20,800
anything that I would not Give 
you in fact he's going to give 

100
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,400
you more is going to give you 
more Revelation it's going to 

101
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,100
give you more insight and he's 
going to give you more truth. 

102
00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:31,600
In fact the Holy Spirit as we 
will see today as we read the 

103
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,800
inspired word of God is still 
continually giving us truth 

104
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:41,100
Jesus is making that very clear 
to his disciples here but there 

105
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:43,200
are some points that I want us 
to consider as we look at this 

106
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,700
text and some points that I want
us to see her clearly defined 

107
00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:47,800
here. 
The promised. 

108
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,700
Holy spirit will bring some 
things when he comes. 

109
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:53,400
Jesus wants this to be known. 
He's not trying to hide this, 

110
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,900
any longer. 
He is wanting them to know that 

111
00:06:55,900 --> 00:07:00,100
when the Holy Spirit comes he's 
going to bring some things with 

112
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:01,900
him. 
The first thing that I want you 

113
00:07:01,907 --> 00:07:03,700
to see if you're taking notes, 
write this down. 

114
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:07,700
He is going to bring first 
Comfort to the believer Comfort 

115
00:07:07,700 --> 00:07:10,200
to the believer. 
In fact, that's why he gets the 

116
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,700
term comforter. 
Chapter 16 there in John's 

117
00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:16,700
gospel verse 5. 
He says now I'm going to him who

118
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:19,600
sent me yet. 
None of you asked me, where are 

119
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,700
you going? 
Because I have said these 

120
00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:24,600
things, you are filled with 
grief, you're just focusing on 

121
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,500
you, you're focusing on your 
loss, you're focusing on your 

122
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:31,200
sorrow, you're focusing on your 
grief, you're going to miss out 

123
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,200
on better things if you don't 
stop doing this because he says 

124
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,800
in verse 7, but I tell you the 
truth, it is for your good that 

125
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,500
I am going away unless I go away
the counselor will not come to 

126
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:47,900
But if I go away, I will send 
him to you. 

127
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,100
Jesus is letting his disciples 
know, there are better things in

128
00:07:51,100 --> 00:07:56,000
store for you and they can't 
come to you until I go away. 

129
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:58,800
I know you want to hold on and I
know you want to grieve and I 

130
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,400
know you want to be sorrowful 
because I'm leaving you, but 

131
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,200
better, things are going to 
happen because I am going to the

132
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,700
father. 
And one of those things is 

133
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:13,800
comfort for the Believers, the 
Holy Spirit comforts, Every True

134
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,200
Believer. 
How does he do this? 

135
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,300
How does the Holy Spirit 
Comfort? 

136
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:20,800
Every True Believer watch. 
Jesus outlines it for us. 

137
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,800
Perfectly here, by turning our 
grief to Joy, write it down by 

138
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:31,000
turning our grief to Joy and how
many times in our Christian 

139
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,600
lives, has the Holy Spirit taken
our great grief. 

140
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,000
Our trouble, our sufferings are 
trials are pain. 

141
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,500
How many times can we testify to
the fact? 

142
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,900
Fact that he is faithful to take
those griefs and those sorrows 

143
00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:52,500
and to turn them into great, 
joy, and to move us to a place 

144
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:57,400
of rejoicing in the Lord, in 
spite of our circumstances, 

145
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,200
David understood. 
This in Psalm Thirty, he wrote 

146
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,800
this in verse 11 of Psalm 
Thirty. 

147
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,400
He said you turned my wailing 
into dancing. 

148
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,300
You took my wailing and my 
weeping and you turned it into 

149
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:14,500
something celebratory and 
something. 

150
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,500
That was a total Joy. 
You turned mourning into dancing

151
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,300
Isn't it crazy that when the 
Holy Spirit, empowers the 

152
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:28,500
Christian with his comfort, it 
can dance in the middle of the 

153
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:31,000
storm. 
I'm not talking about literal 

154
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,300
dancing. 
I'm talking about that inward, 

155
00:09:34,300 --> 00:09:39,100
joy that we have in Christ where
we can rejoice in the midst of 

156
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:45,100
the most adverse circumstances 
we can rejoice in the middle of 

157
00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:48,800
our grief. 
And fact, the spirit turns that 

158
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,000
grief into Joy Force just as a 
song, Instead, you turned my 

159
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,800
wailing into dancing, you remove
my sack cloth and clothed me 

160
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,100
with joy that my heart may sing 
to you and not be silent. 

161
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:02,400
Oh Lord, my God, I will give you
thanks for ever. 

162
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,200
See the heart of the psalmist 
there as he is Experiencing God 

163
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,600
taking his grief and his morning
and turning it in to 

164
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,700
inexpressible Joy and dancing. 
How many times has the Holy 

165
00:10:15,700 --> 00:10:17,800
Spirit been faithful in our 
lives to do? 

166
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,100
Just the same thing? 
We took that dark situation. 

167
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,400
The greatest trial that we 
thought we could ever endure. 

168
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,900
And in the midst of it, he 
taught you how to dance. 

169
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,200
In the midst of it, he taught 
you how to rejoice and how to be

170
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,800
glad and and how to thank God 
that we could suffer as Christ 

171
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,000
himself suffered for us. 
It is the Holy Spirit, who 

172
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,700
brings Comfort to the believer 
turning grief into Joy. 

173
00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:51,100
The disciples didn't understand 
it at this time, because they 

174
00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:55,000
were infants in their faith, 
they understand, the full degree

175
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,800
to what Jesus was teaching them,
but in a short time, they would 

176
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,400
know exactly. 
What he meant, they would 

177
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,500
rejoice and experience the 
indwelling of the Holy Spirit. 

178
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,600
As they would experience the 
resurrection of Christ as they 

179
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,900
would experience his final 
instructions to them as they 

180
00:11:14,900 --> 00:11:18,000
would experience his Ascension 
into heaven confirming that he 

181
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,500
did Truly Come From the father 
just as he said, the Holy Spirit

182
00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:25,800
would then at Pentecost fall on 
them, reminding them. 

183
00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:31,300
He has turned their grief into 
great joy. 

184
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:34,700
It is in that great joy that 
these apostles were willing to 

185
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:39,300
suffer and to be persecuted and 
to die with joy in their heart 

186
00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:43,200
in the midst of their martyrdom.
Many of them danced and sang, 

187
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:48,000
praise to God, and spoke of his 
worthiness and their suffering 

188
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,200
is the Holy Spirit, who brings 
Comfort to the believer, turning

189
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,700
our grief into joy. 
In fact, Jesus said this would 

190
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:57,800
be so and John chapter 14 as we 
were In verse 26. 

191
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,400
He said but the counselor the 
Holy Spirit whom the father will

192
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,200
send. 
In my name will teach you all 

193
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,000
things and will remind you of 
everything I have said to you. 

194
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,100
He then tells them. 
Peace. 

195
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:11,900
I leave with you. 
My peace. 

196
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:15,200
I give you. 
I do not give to you as the 

197
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,700
world gives. 
Do not let your hearts be 

198
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:21,200
troubled, and do not be afraid. 
He takes our anxiety, our 

199
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:27,100
troubles, our fears, our griefs 
And he turns them into what 

200
00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:33,600
scripture calls inexpressible 
Joy Even in our darkest times. 

201
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,600
It is the Holy Spirit, who 
brings us comfort. 

202
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,500
Comfort to the True Believer 
turning our grief to Joy, but 

203
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:46,000
also working all things for our 
good. 

204
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:50,900
He says this in that same 
section that we just read in 

205
00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:54,300
verses 5 through 7. 
He says in verse 6 because I 

206
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:56,500
have said these things you were 
filled with grief but I tell you

207
00:12:56,500 --> 00:13:01,600
the truth. 
It is for your good that I am 

208
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,300
going away. 
Okay, I can attest to this fact,

209
00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:07,900
immediately, as we don't 
immediately understand these 

210
00:13:07,900 --> 00:13:10,500
things, the disciples didn't 
understand immediately. 

211
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:14,200
What Jesus was talking about and
understand immediately, how he 

212
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,300
was going to work such an awful 
thing. 

213
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:22,800
His brutal suffering, and his 
brutal death, how he was going 

214
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,100
to take that thing and work it 
for such good. 

215
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:27,500
They couldn't understand that 
how he was going to take and 

216
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:30,500
leaving them seemingly helpless,
though he had already promised. 

217
00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:31,900
I'm not going to leave you by 
yourself. 

218
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:34,600
I'm going to send that Advocate 
to be with you. 

219
00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:38,200
Can you imagine if you would and
their mind for a moment? 

220
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,300
What they were thinking? 
Oh, this is not good. 

221
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,300
Sometimes the things that we 
face in life, don't seem good. 

222
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:52,600
Especially don't seem good at 
the time but it is the Holy 

223
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,700
Spirit who gives us this 
guarantee through the inspired 

224
00:13:55,700 --> 00:13:59,700
word of God. 
It is he who declares that he 

225
00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:06,800
is, truly working all things to 
the good though. 

226
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,600
Jesus disciples at the time, 
didn't understand this and do 

227
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,000
many of us act. 
As if we don't understand it, it

228
00:14:12,008 --> 00:14:15,700
doesn't change the fact that he 
is working everything for the 

229
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:19,800
good to those who love him and 
who are called according to his 

230
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:22,400
purpose. 
Just as Romans chapter 8 tells 

231
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,500
us in fact, when we look at 
Romans chapter 8 we see it in 

232
00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:28,800
its context. 
Why Watch it is the spirit 

233
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,400
working here in Romans chapter 
8. 

234
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,400
Many times we forget that we 
forget that this is the work of 

235
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,200
the spirit that allows us the 
confidence of saying that he's 

236
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,800
working all things for our good.
Watch what he says in verse 26 

237
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,800
of chapter 8. 
In the same way, the spirit 

238
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,800
helps us in our weakness. 
I'm thankful that he helps me in

239
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,900
my weakness I because that's all
I really am. 

240
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:50,800
Is sweetness. 
It's all I really am as 

241
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,200
weakness. 
Many would say Kirk but you seem

242
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,900
so strong. 
I make you this guarantee that 

243
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:59,200
if You see any strength in me? 
It is not for me. 

244
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,100
It is from the spirit of the 
Lord who lives in me, giving me 

245
00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:05,900
strength. 
He says, in the same way, the 

246
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:10,100
spirit helps us in our weakness.
We do not know what we ought to 

247
00:15:10,108 --> 00:15:13,100
pray for. 
He says you're so weak that you 

248
00:15:13,100 --> 00:15:14,800
don't even know the right thing 
to pray. 

249
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,200
Have you ever found yourself 
there? 

250
00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:22,600
Don't feel bad when you find 
yourself there it confirms your 

251
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,400
weakness. 
I don't even know what to say. 

252
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:27,900
How could we know what to say to
a holy God? 

253
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:30,900
Lest the spirit himself, reveal 
it to us. 

254
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,000
But the spirit himself 
intercedes for us with groanings

255
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,100
that words cannot express. 
And he who searches our hearts 

256
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:42,700
knows, the mind of the spirit 
because the spirit intercedes 

257
00:15:42,700 --> 00:15:46,200
for the Saints in accordance 
with God's will the spirit 

258
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,700
constantly there. 
Constantly praying the will of 

259
00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:52,700
God be done in our life. 
And you know what, the will of 

260
00:15:52,700 --> 00:15:55,700
God is in our lives. 
As his children, watch this. 

261
00:15:57,900 --> 00:16:02,500
And we know that in all things, 
God works for the good of those 

262
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:05,800
who love him, who have been 
called, according to his 

263
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,000
purpose, know what God's will is
for the life of a believer that 

264
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,600
all things be worked for the 
good. 

265
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:17,600
Did you know, even the spirit 
now, in your most darkened time 

266
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,900
in your biggest struggle, right 
now, in your life, the spirit is

267
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:24,000
interceding on your behalf. 
If you are a Believer praying, 

268
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,500
the perfect will of God, that 
this situation, Be worked for 

269
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,200
the good and it will be worked 
for the good. 

270
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,400
Why? 
Because God's word guarantees 

271
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,600
it. 
So we don't like the situation 

272
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,300
I'm in. 
He's going to work it for good. 

273
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:43,200
I didn't ask for it, I know he's
still going to work it for good.

274
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,200
Many people read this passage of
scripture and neglect to apply 

275
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,100
it to their lives. 
I speak to people all the time. 

276
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:55,500
We're going through difficult 
times, right? 

277
00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:57,900
It's what the pastor does when 
someone goes through a trial or 

278
00:16:57,908 --> 00:17:02,300
a struggle, they come to me. 
And I point them to crimes. 

279
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,700
I point them to the word. 
I put Point them to what the 

280
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:09,500
spirit is already spoken in 
regard to this in Romans chapter

281
00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:13,700
8. 
We know that in all things. 

282
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,000
You have a pastor, you don't 
really know exactly what all 

283
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,700
thing but you have no idea the 
degree of the suffering that I'm

284
00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:25,099
going through all things. 
But you don't know all the 

285
00:17:25,099 --> 00:17:26,900
details. 
All things I don't have to know 

286
00:17:26,900 --> 00:17:29,000
all the details. 
In fact the details really don't

287
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,800
matter. 
What matters is he promises all 

288
00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:35,900
thing? 
And when you see all things as a

289
00:17:35,908 --> 00:17:39,500
Believer, you want to be 
overwhelmed by the holy spirit 

290
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:42,300
with an inexpressible, joy and 
comfort. 

291
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:47,600
That only comes from God. to 
know that if I even lose my very

292
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:54,100
life for the cause of Christ, 
he's working all things. 

293
00:17:55,100 --> 00:18:00,300
To the good, all things. 
Oh, can you imagine the Apostle 

294
00:18:00,300 --> 00:18:02,800
Paul, they're only all-steinway 
when he was beheaded. 

295
00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:07,500
I Roman Centurion. 
Well, that's what history says 

296
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:10,500
about the Apostle Paul that he 
had his head lopped from his 

297
00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:13,900
shoulders, because he would not 
renounce Christ. 

298
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:20,100
Can you imagine him remembering 
as the spirit revealed Romans 

299
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:23,700
8:28 to him and as he penned it 
to the church at Rome? 

300
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,600
Can you imagine in his heart, as
he thought to himself all 

301
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,800
things, all things? 
What Greek Comfort comes from 

302
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,800
the Holy Spirit. 
When we understand that he is 

303
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:44,200
working all things for our good 
and for God's glory. 

304
00:18:44,900 --> 00:18:46,500
Child of God. 
If you were here today as a 

305
00:18:46,508 --> 00:18:50,700
Believer aren't you thankful 
Aren't you thankful? 

306
00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:55,000
Whether you realize it or 
whether you don't realize that 

307
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:00,200
God is working, all things for 
the good, to those who love him 

308
00:19:00,300 --> 00:19:02,200
and who are called according to 
his purpose. 

309
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,900
I mean, people all the time. 
They don't realize that he's 

310
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:08,000
doing it. 
Aren't you think we'll that you 

311
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,700
don't have to realize it to know
that it's being done? 

312
00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:13,500
They don't realize it, they 
don't yet. 

313
00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:14,300
See it. 
Neither did. 

314
00:19:14,300 --> 00:19:17,500
The apostles here wasn't until 
later that they saw. 

315
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:19,800
He was working all things for 
their good. 

316
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:25,600
Even though he tells them right 
here, chapter 16. 

317
00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:30,100
It's for your good. 
Sometimes we have difficulty in 

318
00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:33,300
understanding that, don't we? 
We only think that good things 

319
00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:36,100
are for our good. 
Jesus is speaking to them about 

320
00:19:36,100 --> 00:19:39,400
comfort in the midst of their 
grief covered in the midst of 

321
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,300
their sorrow comfort, in the 
midst of their pain, He says, 

322
00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:44,900
I'm giving you this Comfort 
through the holy spirit. 

323
00:19:44,900 --> 00:19:49,400
Let me remind you. 
That if I don't, leave the 

324
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,400
counselor can't come. 
And you were going to miss out 

325
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,300
on the confirmation that he 
gives to his children. 

326
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:04,400
That all things are working. 
For the good, Holy Spirit, The 

327
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,100
Advocate paraclete the 
counselor. 

328
00:20:06,100 --> 00:20:11,400
He's also our comfort will be 
comforted by the holy spirit 

329
00:20:11,700 --> 00:20:15,100
this morning believer, I know 
and the Holy Spirit is such a 

330
00:20:15,108 --> 00:20:18,700
debatable topic, isn't he? 
There's so many people who are 

331
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:21,900
chasing just bewilderment and 
feelings and calling it The Holy

332
00:20:21,900 --> 00:20:23,600
Spirit. 
And then there are those who are

333
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,300
so afraid of the holy spirit 
that they're not even speak his 

334
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:30,400
name. 
But Jesus was not afraid to 

335
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,100
speak of the promised, Holy 
Spirit, to his disciples, 

336
00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:37,400
promising them, great comfort. 
Don't ignore the holy spirit in 

337
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,600
your life as a Believer. 
If you worked and ignore the 

338
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,200
holy spirit in your life, as a 
Believer, you will miss out on 

339
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:49,000
the great comfort that he and he
alone brings he is peace for our

340
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,900
trouble. 
Lighten our Darkness strength 

341
00:20:54,900 --> 00:21:00,600
for our weaknesses. 
He's joy for our sorrows but 

342
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,600
don't get caught up in thinking 
that the holy spirit is some 

343
00:21:03,900 --> 00:21:08,300
aesthetic emotion and it is the 
he disorder that we see so many 

344
00:21:08,300 --> 00:21:10,600
times that is labeled as the 
Holy Spirit. 

345
00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:13,500
Don't think for a moment that 
that is who he is, he is great 

346
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:16,200
comfort to The Afflicted. 
He is great comfort to the 

347
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,200
saint. 
And Jesus promises. 

348
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,300
That's what he will be. 
He's for our trouble strength 

349
00:21:22,300 --> 00:21:25,100
for our weaknesses joy for our 
sorrows, aren't you thankful? 

350
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,800
Child of God, for the Holy 
Spirit, who lives in you 

351
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,100
bringing you comfort 
continually. 

352
00:21:31,300 --> 00:21:34,600
The second thing that we see 
that the promised, holy spirit 

353
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,100
will bring, according to the 
words of Jesus and I love just 

354
00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:39,000
to take Jesus at his word, don't
you? 

355
00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:42,500
There's no sense complicating 
this. 

356
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,700
Let's take Jesus at his word. 
He said the holy spirit is going

357
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:51,800
to be comfort. 
To the believer. but secondly, 

358
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,700
he says this the holy spirit is 
going to bring Conviction to the

359
00:21:56,700 --> 00:21:59,700
unbeliever. 
Conviction to the unbeliever. 

360
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:03,200
I'm thankful that the Holy 
Spirit brings conviction to the 

361
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,800
unbeliever because if he did not
bring conviction, I would still 

362
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,400
be an unbeliever. 
And before you were misled, I 

363
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,000
want to make this very clear. 
In fact, it would probably serve

364
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,300
you well to write this down. 
There can be conviction without 

365
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:21,000
conversion, but there cannot be 
conversion without conviction. 

366
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,000
The holy spirit is going to 
convict The Lost World. 

367
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,600
Just because he can fix the laws
world, doesn't mean that 

368
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,900
conversion happen conviction of 
the holy spirit that opens the 

369
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:39,600
eyes of the sinner that they 
might see their great need for 

370
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:43,200
conversion. 
How does this text say that the 

371
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:49,100
Holy Spirit convicts? 
How does this actually work in 

372
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:51,000
verse 8? 
He says here, if you'll read 

373
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:57,500
along with me when he comes, he 
will convict the world of guilt.

374
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:05,100
In regard to sin, and 
righteousness and judgment. 

375
00:23:06,100 --> 00:23:10,800
Jesus gives a three-point sermon
here on the convicting, power of

376
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,700
the holy spirit in regard to 
sin, because men do not believe 

377
00:23:14,700 --> 00:23:18,900
in me in regard to righteousness
because I am going to the father

378
00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:22,700
where you can see me no longer 
and in regard to judgment 

379
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:27,500
because the prince of this 
world, now stands condemned, 

380
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:30,900
what is Jesus saying To Us by 
those statements? 

381
00:23:30,900 --> 00:23:32,600
What do we need to learn from 
that? 

382
00:23:33,700 --> 00:23:37,000
We need to see that the Holy 
Spirit convicts the unbeliever 

383
00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:46,100
by revealing to the center. 
Number one, the guilt of sin pay

384
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:48,700
attention to verse 8, there in 
verse 9. 

385
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,700
When he comes, he will convict 
the world of guilt in regard to 

386
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,000
sin. 
In regard to sin. 

387
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,800
Notice that the Lord, their 
speaks in the singular. 

388
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,700
He did not speak in the plural. 
We know that there is the 

389
00:24:05,700 --> 00:24:12,600
possibility of but not limited 
to at least 10 sins. 

390
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,800
We know that from The Ten 
Commandments, we know that from 

391
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,000
the decalogue, we know that from
the law. 

392
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,100
He's not talking here about 
actions though. 

393
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:25,300
Actions reveal this singular 
sin, that's not what he's 

394
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:29,200
talking about. 
He is talking about the sin 

395
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:35,900
singular of unbelief, he is 
talking about unbelief, the fact

396
00:24:35,900 --> 00:24:41,000
that the lost world does not 
have faith in Christ. 

397
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:47,700
Spirit reveals to the center 
that they are in a state of on 

398
00:24:48,300 --> 00:24:55,200
belief unbelief now, because 
they are in a state of unbelief,

399
00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:01,900
their life is riddled with sins 
plural, everybody understand how

400
00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:04,400
that works. 
And yes, Jesus did die to his 

401
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:10,700
atone for those sins that you've
committed, but he also died so 

402
00:25:10,700 --> 00:25:16,600
that you would believe in his 
sacrifice and in believing you 

403
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,100
are saved and all of those sins 
that were once held to your 

404
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:25,100
charge, those plural items, 
those verbs if you would as, in 

405
00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:29,200
comparison to unbelieve those 
verbs, those actions that come 

406
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,700
out of your life are completely 
washed and forgiving cast as far

407
00:25:32,700 --> 00:25:36,200
as the East is from the West 
cast down to the oceans floor, 

408
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,600
where he remembers those things,
no longer Is the Holy Spirit, 

409
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:47,600
who convicts the unbelieving? 
Center of the guilt of unbelief.

410
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,300
And unbelieving, sinners. 
Experience. 

411
00:25:54,300 --> 00:25:57,600
The wrath of God for all 
eternity, and they will be 

412
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,800
punished for every single action
that they committed against God 

413
00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:06,600
in their state of unbelief 
there. 

414
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,100
For those of us who are in 
Christ. 

415
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:12,100
Aren't you thankful that? 
Because of faith in Christ, all 

416
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:18,000
of your acts of sin will no 
longer be held against you But 

417
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,200
he's letting them know that when
you go out and you preach the 

418
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,800
gospel and you testify because 
remember in the versus just 

419
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,800
prior to this and John chapter 
15, he says, and you also must 

420
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,400
testify, he must testify to the 
gospel to Jesus Christ, and who 

421
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,800
he is and what he came to do. 
Don't you know that he 

422
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,700
understands that in there 
testifying of Christ and they're

423
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:41,900
sharing the gospel that they 
need to know. 

424
00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:45,100
As that there is a greater power
at work. 

425
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:47,500
Here it is. 
The power of the Holy Spirit. 

426
00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:53,100
Who will bring conviction upon 
the unbelieving sinner. 

427
00:26:55,300 --> 00:26:58,300
He reveals the guilt of their 
sin of unbelief. 

428
00:26:59,300 --> 00:27:04,100
And then he says this in verse 
10, he says a 9 in regard to sin

429
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:07,800
because men do not believe in me
in regard to righteousness 

430
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,200
because I am going to the father
where they can see me, no longer

431
00:27:12,700 --> 00:27:16,700
he is going to not only convict 
The unbelieving Sinner of the 

432
00:27:16,700 --> 00:27:21,100
sin of unbelief so that they 
will believe and be forgiven, he

433
00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:25,000
is then going to show them their
need for right. 

434
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:27,400
Righteousness. 
Why does he give the 

435
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,000
illustration that he does in 
regard to righteousness? 

436
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,100
He says in regard to 
righteousness, because I'm going

437
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:36,300
to the father, where you can see
me, no longer, he's letting them

438
00:27:36,300 --> 00:27:38,300
know. 
The only way that I can go to 

439
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:42,700
the father, is, if I am 
righteous and the only way that 

440
00:27:42,700 --> 00:27:48,900
anyone can come to the father is
if they are righteous, he's 

441
00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:51,800
wanting them to understand. 
The unbeliever needs to know in 

442
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,300
the Holy Spirit is going to make
this clear to the unbeliever. / 

443
00:27:55,300 --> 00:28:00,600
that man when compared with the 
righteousness of Christ and the 

444
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:05,300
righteous requirements of the 
law, man in and of himself 

445
00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:09,600
Falls, completely short of God's
standard. 

446
00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:15,300
His standard is complete 
righteousness. 

447
00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:18,800
You say, well, Pastor, I find 
myself in a predicament. 

448
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,700
Yes, we do. 
Don't we? 

449
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:24,700
We find ourself in the 
predicament, all of us the same.

450
00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:27,800
It's the same predicament that 
we found ourselves in when the 

451
00:28:27,808 --> 00:28:31,200
Holy Spirit convicted us as 
unbelievers that we have no 

452
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,700
righteousness of Our Own. 
We're in big trouble. 

453
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,800
It is the spirit who reveals to 
us our need for righteousness, 

454
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,800
but it's also the spirit who 
reveals to us and Romans chapter

455
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:48,200
3 that there has been a 
righteousness supplied for us by

456
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,100
God. 
Romans 3:21, but now a 

457
00:28:51,100 --> 00:28:54,700
righteousness from God. 
Apart from the law has been made

458
00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:58,900
known to which the law and the 
prophets testify this 

459
00:28:58,900 --> 00:29:02,400
righteousness from God comes 
through faith, in Jesus Christ, 

460
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,900
to all, who believe, Leave. 
There is no difference. 

461
00:29:05,900 --> 00:29:07,500
She said, it's for the Jewish 
for the Gentiles. 

462
00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:11,500
For all who believe. 
For all have sinned and fall 

463
00:29:11,500 --> 00:29:14,400
short of the glory of God and 
are Justified. 

464
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,000
Freely by his grace through the 
Redemption that came by Christ 

465
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Jesus, God presented him as a 
sacrifice of atonement through 

466
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,200
faith. 
In his blood, he did this to 

467
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,900
demonstrate his Justice because 
in his forbearance he had left 

468
00:29:26,900 --> 00:29:29,700
the sins committed beforehand 
unpunished. 

469
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,900
He's saying here he should have 
killed, all of us, we deserve 

470
00:29:33,900 --> 00:29:37,600
death. 
Don't you think we'll that in 

471
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,400
his forbearance? 
He left the sins committed 

472
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,700
beforehand unpunished. 
Why? 

473
00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:45,900
So that he could show us the 
grace that is found only in 

474
00:29:45,900 --> 00:29:48,600
Christ. 
He did it to demonstrate his 

475
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:54,400
Justice at the present time. 
So as to be just and the one who

476
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,100
justifies Those Who Have Faith 
In Jesus. 

477
00:29:58,800 --> 00:29:59,800
Oh. 
Don't you see what God is 

478
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:00,800
saying? 
There he is. 

479
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,800
Just those who remain in a state
of unbelief in sin. 

480
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:09,600
They will be judged and God will
be seen as just because the 

481
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,200
wrath of God will come upon 
them, but he's not also just see

482
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:18,300
only seen as just, he is also 
seen as the one who justifies 

483
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,000
those who have faith. 
That is a legal term. 

484
00:30:21,100 --> 00:30:24,600
What that means is when you are 
Justified, it means that you are

485
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:30,700
declared righteous that God 
declares you righteous based on 

486
00:30:30,700 --> 00:30:34,700
the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. 
Why is that so important? 

487
00:30:34,900 --> 00:30:37,300
It's important that the 
unbeliever I hear that because 

488
00:30:37,300 --> 00:30:41,100
the unbeliever might be 
attempting to somehow gain God's

489
00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:44,400
approval by their own Merit in 
their own behavior. 

490
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,500
Even if you take the 10 
commandments and you tried to 

491
00:30:48,500 --> 00:30:51,300
live up to those Ten 
Commandments, you will fall 

492
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:56,000
short. 
God requires utter Perfection? 

493
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,100
Complete perfection. 
And it is God and His mercy. 

494
00:31:01,100 --> 00:31:05,000
And his grace here in Romans 
chapter 3 that we see, he 

495
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:10,800
supplies a righteousness that is
greater than any righteousness 

496
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,900
that you could ever have on your
own. 

497
00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:17,000
In fact, he has supplied a 
righteousness from God, which is

498
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,100
the imputed righteousness of 
Jesus Christ. 

499
00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:25,200
That is given to all who by 
faith Believe In Christ. 

500
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:30,500
And what he did, who he is verse
27 says where Then is boasting 

501
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:33,300
in Romans chapter 3. 
It's excluded no room for it 

502
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,200
again, bows, because it's all 
Grace. 

503
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,300
It's all Christ on what 
principle I'm out of. 

504
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,500
Observing the law. 
No, but on that of faith for, we

505
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:47,000
maintain that a man is justified
by faith, apart from observing 

506
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,100
the law. 
So what does all this have to do

507
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:52,800
with the working of the holy 
spirit in the life of the 

508
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,400
unbeliever? 
There's a Holy Spirit. 

509
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:58,300
Who makes this very clear, who's
making it clear even to some 

510
00:31:58,300 --> 00:32:01,100
now, who made it clear to some 
in the service before? 

511
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,700
That God has not changed his 
mind on his standard of 

512
00:32:04,700 --> 00:32:06,700
perfection. 
It is complete righteousness. 

513
00:32:06,700 --> 00:32:09,500
That's why Jesus uses himself. 
As an example, you're going to 

514
00:32:09,500 --> 00:32:13,200
see, I'm going to the father and
the unbelieving world is going 

515
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,100
to be convicted because I'm 
going to the father because I am

516
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:19,600
righteous. 
They're going to see how 

517
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,600
righteous I am that. 
I came from the father just as I

518
00:32:21,608 --> 00:32:23,800
said and I returned to the 
father just as I said I was 

519
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,500
going to do after I completed 
the righteous work of Redemption

520
00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:30,000
on the cross. 
After I lived a perfect life 

521
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,900
unto the letter of the law, then
I'm going back and I'm going to 

522
00:32:32,900 --> 00:32:39,700
prove my righteousness and you 
fall short of that. 

523
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:46,600
You fall short of the standard. 
You will not be welcomed into 

524
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,700
the throne room of God. 
Where Christ is seated at the 

525
00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:53,500
right hand forever, making 
intercession for the Saints. 

526
00:32:53,500 --> 00:32:56,800
You won't be invited and 
welcomed in there in your sin, 

527
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,900
your unbelief. 
And your unrighteousness. 

528
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:08,700
But if you enter in through 
faith in Christ, You enter in 

529
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:13,200
clothed in his spotless 
righteousness you now are 

530
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,400
welcome to fellowship and 
commune with your creator. 

531
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:21,500
The Holy Father, you are, 
welcome to have an intimate 

532
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:24,400
relationship with the God of 
this universe. 

533
00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:29,400
Spirits job in convicting. 
The unbeliever is to show them 

534
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,400
the guilt of their sin of 
unbelief, but to also show them 

535
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,400
their need for righteousness. 
And that righteousness has been 

536
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,900
supplied only through Christ. 
In fact, our righteousness as 

537
00:33:38,900 --> 00:33:45,700
Isaiah says, in 64 verse 6, it's
that a filthy rags that on our 

538
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:49,500
best day. 
We don't meet the standard over 

539
00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:52,700
all of you who are out there is 
unbelievers, trying to meet some

540
00:33:52,700 --> 00:33:55,100
list of to dues in a standard, 
be it. 

541
00:33:55,200 --> 00:34:00,600
Even the law of God. 
Know that you cannot enter into 

542
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,000
the presence of the father 
unless you enter into the 

543
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,700
presence of the father, through 
perfect righteousness and that 

544
00:34:05,700 --> 00:34:09,100
perfect righteousness, comes 
only by faith in Jesus Christ. 

545
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:12,699
And when you believe you are 
declared Justified, you are 

546
00:34:12,699 --> 00:34:17,199
declared righteous in the eyes 
of God at that point. 

547
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:22,800
And at that point alone, Romans 
chapter 3 prior to what, we just

548
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,800
read their 21. 
It tells us, there's none 

549
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,000
righteous. 
No, not one that. 

550
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:35,000
There's no one who seeks him. 
Both in your efforts right now, 

551
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:40,100
you were trying to somehow. 
Gain the approval of God through

552
00:34:40,100 --> 00:34:43,300
some performance-based standard 
or morality. 

553
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:50,500
May the spirit of God the Holy 
Spirit today convict you that 

554
00:34:50,500 --> 00:34:54,000
you need a greater righteousness
than that righteousness that 

555
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,200
you're trying to muster up by 
your own willpower and strength.

556
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,300
You need a righteousness that 
comes from God that has been 

557
00:35:00,300 --> 00:35:03,100
revealed in Christ. 
Jesus, you need that 

558
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:08,500
righteousness imputed to you, or
you will not see eternal life, 

559
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,400
you will not see, forgiveness of
sin. 

560
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,700
You will not be justified in the
sight of the holy God. 

561
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,900
The promised holy spirit, will 
bring conviction to the 

562
00:35:17,900 --> 00:35:22,200
unbeliever. 
By revealing the guilt of their 

563
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,000
sin. 
The need for righteousness and 

564
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,600
this is not very popular but I'm
going to preach it anyways 

565
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,000
because I'm not into preaching 
popular things, I'm into 

566
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:37,300
preaching biblical things. 
The next thing we see the Holy 

567
00:35:37,300 --> 00:35:39,500
Spirit reveal to the center in 
verse 11. 

568
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,000
The Lord himself says this and 
in regard to judgment because 

569
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,200
the prince of this world now 
stands condemned. 

570
00:35:48,300 --> 00:35:52,300
He's bringing conviction 
regarding their position of 

571
00:35:52,300 --> 00:35:57,100
condemnation, their position of 
condemnation, he's using Satan. 

572
00:35:57,100 --> 00:36:00,800
Now as an example, he uses 
himself as an example of one who

573
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,200
has welcomed into the presence 
of God because he is completely 

574
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,400
righteous. 
He's now going to use Satan as 

575
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,000
his illustration and he's going 
to use the condemnation of Satan

576
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:18,700
to show us all and if Satan has 
been condemned, surely those who

577
00:36:18,700 --> 00:36:22,400
follow Satan will be condemned 
likewise. 

578
00:36:23,300 --> 00:36:26,100
If Satan has been condemned, 
surely all unbelievers are do 

579
00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:28,800
not by faith. 
Repent and turn to Christ. 

580
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Will likewise be condemned? 
That's a pretty simple 

581
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,300
illustration that the Lord uses 
here, it's common sense. 

582
00:36:35,900 --> 00:36:38,400
Why is he saying that? 
Because did you know, if you 

583
00:36:38,408 --> 00:36:40,900
were in a state of unbelief 
right now, God is not your 

584
00:36:40,900 --> 00:36:43,700
father. 
Satan is you are a child of 

585
00:36:43,700 --> 00:36:45,200
Satan and you are a child of 
sin. 

586
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,900
I told you it's not popular. 
I don't have a lot of people who

587
00:36:47,900 --> 00:36:52,100
write me and thanked me for 
saying things so harsh yet, they

588
00:36:52,100 --> 00:37:00,500
are so true and real that we are
under the same condemnation as 

589
00:37:00,500 --> 00:37:07,600
Satan himself. 
Unbelievers are not simply just 

590
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:12,000
waiting to die until they are 
under some type of condemnation.

591
00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:15,800
Oh, we've walked verse by verse 
through the Gospel of John. 

592
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,600
Surely you remember chapter 3 
and that conversation that Jesus

593
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,400
had with a man named Nicodemus? 
I know we like to only remember 

594
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,100
one verse and one verse alone in
that whole passage. 

595
00:37:26,100 --> 00:37:27,700
But please, can we get past 
that? 

596
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,200
There are many things 
surrounding John 3:16 that you 

597
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,500
need to pay close attention to 
all the devil is very crafty and

598
00:37:35,500 --> 00:37:37,700
getting you to look at just 
three sixteen. 

599
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,300
Instead of looking at the 
previous verses that tell you, 

600
00:37:40,300 --> 00:37:42,800
you must be born again. 
Or you cannot see the kingdom of

601
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,300
God. 
And then, looking at the 

602
00:37:44,300 --> 00:37:46,700
precinct, or the following 
verses, and you see those 

603
00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:49,000
following verses as saying, if 
you don't believe, you're 

604
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,500
condemned already, that's what 
the word of God says. 

605
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,800
John 3:16 will read it because 
that's the only one you want to 

606
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,500
read. 
Let's read all the others around

607
00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:00,000
it for God. 
So loved the world that he gave 

608
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,200
his one and only son that 
whoever believes in him, shall 

609
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,900
not perish but have eternal 
life. 

610
00:38:06,500 --> 00:38:12,200
It's a good news, definitely. 
But there's good news, there has

611
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,300
to be bad news. 
Isn't it sad that we live in a 

612
00:38:16,300 --> 00:38:18,100
day and time where everybody 
wants to hear the good news? 

613
00:38:18,100 --> 00:38:19,400
But no one wants to hear the bad
news. 

614
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:20,700
That makes the good news. 
Good. 

615
00:38:24,100 --> 00:38:26,300
For God did not send his son 
into the world to condemn the 

616
00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:30,400
world 17, but to save the world 
through him Verse 18, says, 

617
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,800
whoever believes in him is not 
condemned, praise the Lord. 

618
00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:38,400
Watch what he says next, but 
whoever does not believe stands 

619
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,500
condemned already, because he 
has not believed in the name of 

620
00:38:41,500 --> 00:38:44,100
God's one, and only son. 
Why are you condemned? 

621
00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:46,300
You're condemned in your sin and
your unbelief. 

622
00:38:46,300 --> 00:38:49,300
You are unrighteous in the eyes 
of God. 

623
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,000
You're condemned because you are
an unbeliever and you were born 

624
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,100
into that state. 
He said, well Pastor do you 

625
00:38:57,100 --> 00:38:59,400
really believe that men are born
into this state? 

626
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,000
I don't know. 
Let's ask someone who would know

627
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,800
more than I. 
How about we ask David in Psalm 

628
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,700
51 where he says, surely I was 
sinful at Birth. 

629
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:14,200
Surely, I was sinful at Birth. 
I came into this world an 

630
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:18,100
unbelieving sinner. 
Condemned already the Holy 

631
00:39:18,100 --> 00:39:20,900
Spirit, convince the Lost of 
this. 

632
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,800
If the true gospel is being 
preached. 

633
00:39:24,900 --> 00:39:28,700
He's convicting the lost, even 
now their position because they 

634
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:32,600
have not yet turned in faith to 
Jesus Christ, as Lord and 

635
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,400
savior. 
That condemnation rest upon them

636
00:39:36,900 --> 00:39:40,900
John 3:36 during we even read 
all the way down to there. 

637
00:39:40,900 --> 00:39:44,600
Again in John chapter 3, he says
this in 36, whoever believes in 

638
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,900
the son has eternal life but 
whoever rejects the son will not

639
00:39:47,900 --> 00:39:51,900
see life. 
Why for God's Wrath remains on 

640
00:39:51,900 --> 00:39:52,800
him. 
It doesn't save. 

641
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,500
God's Wrath is going to be 
dropped upon him. 

642
00:39:58,700 --> 00:40:02,200
The wrath of God is upon all of 
the condemned. 

643
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:07,800
Unbeliever, and it is in Christ 
and it is in Christ alone. 

644
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:15,200
And trusting in Him by faith. 
Believing. and Christ through 

645
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,800
his death, his burial, his 
resurrection that being our only

646
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,200
hope of forgiveness, and eternal
life in believing, that Christ 

647
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,300
is who he says that he truly is 
that he is Son of God and son of

648
00:40:26,300 --> 00:40:29,700
man, that he came to this earth 
to offer himself as a 

649
00:40:29,700 --> 00:40:35,000
propitiation as an atoning 
sacrifice to forgive sinful 

650
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:41,400
unbelievers, such, as I once 
was, Till his spirit. 

651
00:40:42,700 --> 00:40:45,400
Open my eyes to the truth of my 
condemnation. 

652
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,000
Aren't you thankful that the 
spirit brings conviction to the 

653
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,300
unbeliever showing them their 
guilt of unbelief? 

654
00:40:54,700 --> 00:40:59,300
Oh, how kind that is? 
Well, the Lord could have just 

655
00:40:59,300 --> 00:41:03,700
left us in that state. 
But he was kind and he was 

656
00:41:03,700 --> 00:41:05,600
gracious to us through the Holy 
Spirit. 

657
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:10,400
He revealed to us. 
Were unbelievers that we fall 

658
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,300
short of his righteous 
requirements. 

659
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,400
That we are condemned. 
But there is hope. 

660
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,700
And there is hope in the gospel.
Why? 

661
00:41:21,700 --> 00:41:24,200
I told you that conviction 
doesn't equal conversion. 

662
00:41:25,900 --> 00:41:29,000
I pray today that if you are 
convicted that you are, yes, 

663
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,700
guilty of unbelief and sin. 
I pray today that if you are 

664
00:41:33,700 --> 00:41:37,500
convicted for your need for 
righteousness, that is greater 

665
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:40,200
than the righteousness that you 
possess in and of yourselves. 

666
00:41:41,100 --> 00:41:43,300
I pray today that when you 
realize through the power of the

667
00:41:43,308 --> 00:41:46,700
holy spirit that you are 
condemned already that the wrath

668
00:41:46,700 --> 00:41:49,400
of God abides upon you, because 
you have not believed that 

669
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:53,200
today, you would believe today, 
you would repent of your sin, 

670
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,300
confess your sin to Christ, 
confess your need for a savior 

671
00:41:56,300 --> 00:42:00,200
and be saved this very day as 
you cry, out to him and him 

672
00:42:00,300 --> 00:42:02,900
alone to save your wretched 
soul. 

673
00:42:04,100 --> 00:42:06,300
It is the Holy Spirit who brings
us to this knowledge. 

674
00:42:06,300 --> 00:42:11,200
Our need for that faith and that
repentance by convicting us, the

675
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,800
guilt of sin, the need for 
righteousness in our position of

676
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,200
condemnation. 
Apart from Christ many people, 

677
00:42:18,700 --> 00:42:21,700
get aggravated with me. 
They say it seems as if you 

678
00:42:21,700 --> 00:42:25,700
preach condemnation I do. 
I do. 

679
00:42:27,700 --> 00:42:32,100
I preached condemnation for all,
who were lost because 

680
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:35,600
condemnation, it's where they 
are. 

681
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,400
But I also preach the fullness 
of the Gospel that if you are in

682
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,100
Christ, there is therefore now 
no. 

683
00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:46,600
Condemnation to he who is in 
Christ Jesus. 

684
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,100
It is in Christ, that 
condemnation is lifted turned to

685
00:42:50,100 --> 00:42:53,700
Christ today and be free from 
the condemnation of unbelief and

686
00:42:53,700 --> 00:42:58,000
the condemnation of sin and the 
wrath of God free today. 

687
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,700
The third thing in the final 
thing, the promised holy spirit 

688
00:43:01,700 --> 00:43:08,700
will bring He will bring 
continued revelation of Truth. 

689
00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:13,500
I'm not talking about continued,
revelation of Truth, outside of 

690
00:43:13,500 --> 00:43:15,800
the word of God, before you jump
to any conclusion. 

691
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,700
I'm talking about how he 
continually reveals truth 

692
00:43:20,900 --> 00:43:23,400
through the word of God. 
Through the teaching, the 

693
00:43:23,408 --> 00:43:25,600
preaching, the studying of the 
word of God. 

694
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,100
It's very important that we see 
this. 

695
00:43:27,100 --> 00:43:31,000
It's very important that we see 
the Holy Spirit who he refers to

696
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,000
here in verses 12 through 15 as 
the spirit of Truth. 

697
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,000
Look with me. 
I have much more to say to you 

698
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,300
more than you can now bear. 
They couldn't even bear 

699
00:43:38,300 --> 00:43:42,300
everything that Christ had and 
desired to say to them without 

700
00:43:42,300 --> 00:43:45,200
the power of the indwelling. 
Holy Spirit, what a statement. 

701
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:50,400
He says but when he the spirit 
of truth comes, he will guide 

702
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:55,200
you into all truth and he will 
not speak on his own. 

703
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,200
He will speak only what he hears
and he will tell you what is yet

704
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,700
to come. 
He will bring Glory To Me by 

705
00:44:02,700 --> 00:44:06,000
taking from what is mine and 
making it known to you. 

706
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,900
All that belongs to the father 
is mine. 

707
00:44:09,300 --> 00:44:13,100
That is why I said the spirit 
will take from what is mine and 

708
00:44:13,100 --> 00:44:18,500
make it known to you. 
Jesus is saying to his disciples

709
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,900
that the promised holy spirit is
going to bring continued, 

710
00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:24,400
revelation of Truth. 
He is going to take with the 

711
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,500
father has made known. 
The belt belongs now to the sun.

712
00:44:28,500 --> 00:44:30,500
The Sun is going to make that 
available. 

713
00:44:30,500 --> 00:44:33,000
Now through the Holy Spirit, 
Jesus is saying he's going to 

714
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,800
keep teach and consistency with 
father and the son. 

715
00:44:36,900 --> 00:44:40,600
We see the Triune godhead 
working here in agreeance, isn't

716
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,400
it, beautiful? 
Don't miss that for all the 

717
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:43,900
people who don't want to believe
in the Trinity. 

718
00:44:43,900 --> 00:44:47,000
Jesus is speaking right here. 
And you see the Father, the Son,

719
00:44:47,100 --> 00:44:52,100
and the Holy Spirit working in 
consistency, as one here, don't 

720
00:44:52,100 --> 00:44:55,200
miss that. 
Why is that important? 

721
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,200
It's important because the 
spirit reveals to us truth. 

722
00:45:00,300 --> 00:45:03,200
He reveals truth, the truth of 
God's word. 

723
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,300
Inspired it. 
Oh, how often? 

724
00:45:08,300 --> 00:45:12,500
We forget that the inspiration 
of the word came from the Holy 

725
00:45:12,500 --> 00:45:14,600
Spirit. 
Well how do you know that 

726
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,400
Pastor? 
I know that because that's what 

727
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,600
scripture says, second Peter 
1:19. 

728
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,300
You read it in our scripture 
reading today. 

729
00:45:22,700 --> 00:45:26,600
Let's read it again and we have 
the word of the prophets made 

730
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,700
more certain and you will do 
well to pay attention to it as 

731
00:45:30,700 --> 00:45:33,500
to a light shining in a dark 
place until the day Dawns, and 

732
00:45:33,500 --> 00:45:36,100
The Morning Star rises in your 
hearts above all. 

733
00:45:36,100 --> 00:45:39,400
You must understand that no 
prophecy of scripture came about

734
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,700
by the prophets own 
interpretation. 

735
00:45:41,900 --> 00:45:46,200
Pay attention to 21 for 
prophecy, never had its origin 

736
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:50,500
in the will of man. 
But men spoke from God as they 

737
00:45:50,500 --> 00:45:54,700
were carried Along by the Holy 
Spirit. 

738
00:45:55,400 --> 00:46:01,500
When you open up the words on 
the pages of this Bible, you 

739
00:46:01,500 --> 00:46:07,100
open up the very Spirit inspired
word of God. 

740
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,500
This is the word that Jesus. 
This is the truth that Jesus 

741
00:46:10,500 --> 00:46:13,200
here in this text was saying is 
going to come to the from the 

742
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:14,800
father. 
It's going to be given to me. 

743
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,500
I'm going to give that truth. 
You can't take all of that truth

744
00:46:17,500 --> 00:46:20,000
now but you're going to be able 
to take That truth when the 

745
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,900
spirit comes and dwells you and 
when he does, he's going to 

746
00:46:23,900 --> 00:46:26,600
speak truth through you. 
Not only through your mouth, but

747
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:31,200
through the things that he 
carries you along to pin, we 

748
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,000
have the New Testament 
scriptures now along with the 

749
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,200
Old Testament scriptures. 
Why? 

750
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:39,000
Because the Holy Spirit was 
active in making sure that truth

751
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:44,100
was revealed to God's people. 
Second Timothy chapter 3, Paul 

752
00:46:44,100 --> 00:46:46,600
refers to the scriptures as this
in verse 16. 

753
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:53,000
He says, all scripture is 
god-breathed all scripture is 

754
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,500
god-breathed and is useful for 
teaching. 

755
00:46:55,600 --> 00:47:00,100
Rebuking correcting and training
in righteousness. 

756
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:01,300
It's God. 
Breathe. 

757
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:05,200
Why is that so important that we
understand this, the scriptures 

758
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,800
come from the Holy Spirit 
breathing in to these men who 

759
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:14,300
were carried along who were led 
to pin these things under the 

760
00:47:14,300 --> 00:47:17,700
supervision and the 
superintendence of the Holy 

761
00:47:17,700 --> 00:47:19,800
Spirit. 
That's why it is inerrant, 

762
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,200
completely, it is infallible 
completely, and it is inspired 

763
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,600
completely. 
And we can rest in that, that 

764
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,600
when we look at the word of God,
we have truth from the Holy 

765
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:34,400
Ghost. 
It is infallible inerrant. 

766
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:40,300
Inspired. 
It's all sufficient. 

767
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,400
It's all sufficient for all that
we need in life and godliness. 

768
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,300
The spirit has given us, this 
truth, Jesus Promised it to his 

769
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:48,700
disciples. 
He said, you can't handle this. 

770
00:47:48,700 --> 00:47:53,800
Now, when the spirit moves in 
and he and dwells you, You can 

771
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,600
learn even more than I could 
even teach you as I've been with

772
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,900
you. 
You're going to have the spirit 

773
00:47:59,900 --> 00:48:04,000
walking in guiding you leading 
you. 

774
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:10,000
His words were passed to the 
holy spirit that were passed to 

775
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,600
the apostles that we now read 
today, as we read, John's 

776
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,800
gospel, where did John get this 
from the John? 

777
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,400
Just make this up on a whim? 
Who absolutely not as to 

778
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,100
consistent with the other 
Gospels. 

779
00:48:21,100 --> 00:48:23,900
John was inspired by the Holy 
Spirit to write down the things 

780
00:48:23,900 --> 00:48:28,300
that he has written down here, 
why he tells us why I've written

781
00:48:28,300 --> 00:48:32,200
these things. 
So that you may believe that he 

782
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:36,600
is the Son of God. 
And in that believing you may 

783
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,900
have eternal life. 
That's what he tells us. 

784
00:48:39,900 --> 00:48:43,900
Where did John receive this? 
Some from Christ as he walked 

785
00:48:43,900 --> 00:48:46,300
with him face-to-face. 
But other things obviously that 

786
00:48:46,300 --> 00:48:48,800
Christ promised through the 
indwelling Holy Spirit. 

787
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:53,000
It is the spirit who leads us 
into to the truth of God's word.

788
00:48:53,100 --> 00:48:56,100
He inspired it watch this, he 
illuminates it. 

789
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,400
It is a spirit in our life, who 
illuminates, the word of God 

790
00:49:00,100 --> 00:49:02,900
using it to exposed the darkness
of sin. 

791
00:49:02,900 --> 00:49:07,800
The darkness of this world 
exposing the immorality, The 

792
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,500
wickedness of sin. 
It is a spirit who has given us 

793
00:49:11,500 --> 00:49:13,800
the plum line that distinguishes
right. 

794
00:49:14,700 --> 00:49:17,200
From wrong. 
Isn't it interesting? 

795
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,100
How the non Spirit-filled world 
doesn't even know the difference

796
00:49:20,100 --> 00:49:21,900
between right and wrong 
nowadays? 

797
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,300
In fact, they are doing just as 
the prophet said, they are 

798
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:27,400
calling wrong, right? 
And right. 

799
00:49:27,500 --> 00:49:30,000
Wrong. 
Why? 

800
00:49:30,700 --> 00:49:32,800
Because they have no truth from 
the Holy Spirit. 

801
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,600
They think that this is just an 
old book that was written by a 

802
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:41,500
bunch of crazy people. 
But oh, how they are mistaken? 

803
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:44,500
This is the very truth of the 
word of God. 

804
00:49:44,500 --> 00:49:46,800
Passed from the father, to the 
son, to the spirit, to the 

805
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,900
apostles. 
Now, we're reading it today and 

806
00:49:49,900 --> 00:49:53,500
even were seeing truth. 
And that truth is, setting us 

807
00:49:53,500 --> 00:49:55,900
apart. 
And sanctifying us, just as John

808
00:49:55,900 --> 00:50:01,000
17:17 said that it would Jesus, 
preached sanctify them by the 

809
00:50:01,008 --> 00:50:04,500
truth. 
Your word is truth or the lost 

810
00:50:04,500 --> 00:50:06,900
world looks as at us as if we're
crazy. 

811
00:50:08,300 --> 00:50:11,900
Because they have not had the 
illumination of the word of God,

812
00:50:11,900 --> 00:50:14,600
through the power of the holy 
spirit in their life. 

813
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,100
In fact they can't understand 
these things. 

814
00:50:18,100 --> 00:50:19,600
They are ignorant of these 
things. 

815
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,200
The natural man cannot 
understand the things of the 

816
00:50:23,207 --> 00:50:26,200
spirit. 
The Holy Spirit, the spirit of 

817
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:30,500
Truth, reveals the truth of 
God's word, But not only that. 

818
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:37,700
As he is, Illuminating inspiring
interpreting the word of God. 

819
00:50:37,900 --> 00:50:40,900
You want a good interpretation 
of the word of God, trusting the

820
00:50:40,900 --> 00:50:43,600
spirits interpretation. 
Well, how can I receive an 

821
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,200
interpretation from the spirit? 
What you don't need to do, is 

822
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:50,200
read a Bible passage, and then 
go meditate. 

823
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:53,300
Now you should meditate on the 
scripture. 

824
00:50:53,300 --> 00:50:55,400
Used to think on these things, 
I'm not talking about that kind 

825
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,400
of meditation, do a lot of times
what people do their read the 

826
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,500
scripture, then they'll look for
an outside interpretation. 

827
00:51:00,500 --> 00:51:02,500
Don't look for an outside 
interpretation, use the analogy 

828
00:51:02,500 --> 00:51:03,900
of scripture to interpret 
scripture, why? 

829
00:51:03,900 --> 00:51:05,000
Because the holy spirit is 
behind it. 

830
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:10,000
All You'll see this very quickly
that God has consistent from 

831
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,600
Genesis to Revelation in the 
spirit. 

832
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:18,400
Makes it very clear that he is 
It's his job to interpret the 

833
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,900
word for us. 
So when you get to a passage in 

834
00:51:21,900 --> 00:51:24,400
scripture and you don't quite 
understand it, go to another 

835
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,700
passage of scripture pertaining 
to the same subject. 

836
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,600
When your interpretations are 
consistent with one another, 

837
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,300
there you have the 
interpretation of the Holy 

838
00:51:32,300 --> 00:51:35,100
Spirit interpretation that he 
desired to give you. 

839
00:51:35,100 --> 00:51:37,500
It is clear in this true and it 
is right and there's no 

840
00:51:37,500 --> 00:51:39,500
contradiction at all. 
It's interesting that many 

841
00:51:39,500 --> 00:51:41,700
people want to make the claim 
that there are contradictions in

842
00:51:41,700 --> 00:51:43,400
scripture. 
And there could be if you took 

843
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,300
something out of context, and 
didn't use the analogy of 

844
00:51:45,300 --> 00:51:46,900
scripture to actually interpret 
it. 

845
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,500
But when you interpret scripture
with scripture, what you find 

846
00:51:49,500 --> 00:51:52,500
out quickly is, this is the most
consistent. 

847
00:51:54,300 --> 00:52:00,200
Inerrant article of truth that 
ever has been. 

848
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:04,600
This is more true than anything 
that I could conjure up in my 

849
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:08,300
human mind. 
I need to get to the point where

850
00:52:08,300 --> 00:52:15,200
we say that we believe that. 
And we lent God's word, be true.

851
00:52:16,900 --> 00:52:19,400
We trust. 
No man is ever Pastor you 

852
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,400
telling us not to trust you, I'm
saying, is trust the Holy Spirit

853
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:26,200
over me every time. 
I'll never make that error of 

854
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,300
trusting me over the power of 
the Holy Spirit. 

855
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,500
You see something in scripture 
and you say, wait a second. 

856
00:52:30,500 --> 00:52:33,000
I saw something over here. 
Kirk said one thing, but I saw 

857
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,700
something over here that 
contradicted this, let's talk 

858
00:52:35,700 --> 00:52:36,500
about that. 
Let's study. 

859
00:52:36,500 --> 00:52:39,000
That a little further. 
What exactly is going on here? 

860
00:52:40,500 --> 00:52:43,100
You'll find quickly when you 
take the entirety of scripture 

861
00:52:43,900 --> 00:52:47,500
the full picture. 
You'll find out quickly what the

862
00:52:47,500 --> 00:52:51,500
truth is and what a sad day it 
is that we won't take the time 

863
00:52:51,500 --> 00:52:55,000
to do that. 
We're better suited just to let 

864
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:58,900
some man. 
Tell us what he thinks about it.

865
00:53:01,300 --> 00:53:02,900
But I'm not telling you this 
morning, when I think about 

866
00:53:02,900 --> 00:53:05,500
this, I'm telling you what the 
Lord himself says about it. 

867
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,500
It is the holy spirit reveals 
truth. 

868
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,800
He reveals truth regarding the 
word of God. 

869
00:53:16,100 --> 00:53:18,400
I need to hurry Dona. 
Nah. 

870
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:25,100
Truth regarding the word of God.
But also, he reveals truth. 

871
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,200
Regarding the glory of Christ, 
he reveals the truth of the 

872
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,800
glory of Christ. 
Look at verse 14, he will bring 

873
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,700
Glory To Me by taking from what 
is mine and making it known to 

874
00:53:36,700 --> 00:53:40,400
you. 
Don't miss that there please, 

875
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:46,200
the spirit is the constant 
revealer of the glory of Christ.

876
00:53:46,300 --> 00:53:49,000
He is the constant revealer of 
the glory of Christ. 

877
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:55,200
The son, the spirit is not going
to draw attention to his own 

878
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:56,600
Glory. 
You say what does this the 

879
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:57,900
spirit have Glory? 
Yes. 

880
00:53:57,900 --> 00:54:01,200
He shares an eternal Essence in 
glory with the father and with 

881
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,000
the son, but he's not going to 
draw attention to his glory. 

882
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:05,300
Why? 
Because he wants to draw 

883
00:54:05,300 --> 00:54:07,800
attention to the glory of the 
sun, and the glory of the 

884
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:14,100
father, In recent times, we have
heard of would be in even 

885
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,200
claimed revivals that are going 
on. 

886
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,800
Many, of course of asked me as a
pastor Pastor, what do you think

887
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:26,800
about said Revival? 
here's what I think about any 

888
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:31,800
movement, who Only draws 
attention to the spirit. 

889
00:54:33,500 --> 00:54:36,800
But if it's a move of the Holy 
Spirit, a true move of the Holy 

890
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:40,900
Spirit, you write this down, it 
will draw people's attention to 

891
00:54:40,900 --> 00:54:44,400
Christ. 
It will draw people's attention 

892
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:46,300
to Christ. 
People will be saved, people 

893
00:54:46,300 --> 00:54:49,900
would be broken over their sin. 
They will turn to Christ. 

894
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,200
I don't know what's happening in
these particular places only 

895
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:58,700
time will tell if it draws 
people to Christ, it is the holy

896
00:54:58,700 --> 00:55:02,500
spirit, drawing them pointing 
them to the glory of Christ 

897
00:55:03,100 --> 00:55:06,600
measure any Revival. 
My that not do. 

898
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,800
We see something exciting and 
something, flashy something 

899
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:14,000
emotional Something that's 
driven by maybe some type of 

900
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:20,000
Personality who happens to be 
charismatic know, is this driven

901
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,400
by the glory of Christ? 
Because the spirit is going to 

902
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:28,400
point you to the glory of 
Christ, his death, his burial, 

903
00:55:28,500 --> 00:55:33,400
his resurrection, his Ascension,
his glory, he's going to always 

904
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,600
draw attention to Christ. 
He reveals the truth of the 

905
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,900
glory of Christ. 
His life transforming Glory. 

906
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,400
See the glory of Christ, your 
life is transformed 2nd. 

907
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:48,100
Corinthians 3:18 says this and 
we who with unveiled faces, all 

908
00:55:48,100 --> 00:55:52,900
reflect the Lord's Glory are 
being transformed into his 

909
00:55:52,900 --> 00:55:57,300
likeness with ever-increasing 
Glory, which comes from the 

910
00:55:57,300 --> 00:56:02,000
Lord, who is the spirit. 
If you were being transformed by

911
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:06,100
the glory of Christ with an 
unveiled face, seeing him more 

912
00:56:06,100 --> 00:56:10,000
clearly and more clearly as you 
grow and knowledge of him, it is

913
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:14,300
a work of the Holy Holy Spirit, 
revealing the glory of Christ. 

914
00:56:15,100 --> 00:56:19,400
And it transforms your life, not
just for a moment, not for a 

915
00:56:19,408 --> 00:56:23,400
weekend, not for a week, not for
to, it's not for three weeks, it

916
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,300
transforms your life for all 
eternity. 

917
00:56:26,500 --> 00:56:29,400
That is the role of the Holy 
Spirit to reveal the glory of 

918
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,500
Christ. 
Spirits not going to draw 

919
00:56:32,500 --> 00:56:36,000
attention to his own Glory. 
That's for the charismatics are 

920
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,800
always talking about. 
All, we got the spirit. 

921
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:40,700
That's a relevant. 
Do you have Christ? 

922
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,500
Because the spirit is always 
going to highlight Christ and 

923
00:56:45,500 --> 00:56:47,400
how will, you know, if you have 
Christ, not because you flop on 

924
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,800
the floor, you run around waving
a flag or because you speak in 

925
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:51,900
tongues, you will know that you 
have Christ. 

926
00:56:51,900 --> 00:56:54,700
How how did Jesus say? 
He said that you will know them 

927
00:56:54,700 --> 00:56:58,000
by their fruit. 
He said that you will know them 

928
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,000
like this, if you love me, you 
will obey my commands. 

929
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,800
Are you living a life of 
practical, righteousness, unto 

930
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,800
God, because of Christ? 
Then the spirits doing a work in

931
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,900
you You have boldness to share 
the gospel. 

932
00:57:10,900 --> 00:57:14,900
Like we talked about last week, 
except for one verse 8, Jesus 

933
00:57:14,900 --> 00:57:17,100
himself, said, when the Holy 
Spirit comes on you, you will 

934
00:57:17,100 --> 00:57:21,000
receive power to be my 
Witnesses. 

935
00:57:23,100 --> 00:57:25,100
Is that being displayed in your 
life, mr. 

936
00:57:25,100 --> 00:57:27,200
Mrs. So-called spirit filled 
believer. 

937
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,100
If it's not, you're chasing 
after something, you're calling 

938
00:57:31,100 --> 00:57:32,900
the spirit. 
That is possibly not the spirit 

939
00:57:32,900 --> 00:57:34,600
at all. 
It is your emotions. 

940
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,700
It is your feelings. 
It is man-centered and man 

941
00:57:37,700 --> 00:57:40,300
crafted. 
In fact even further than that 

942
00:57:40,300 --> 00:57:44,100
it could be demonically. 
Crafted be very very careful the

943
00:57:44,100 --> 00:57:47,100
true. 
Holy spirit always points people

944
00:57:47,100 --> 00:57:50,300
to the glory of Christ and 
Christ Alone. 

945
00:57:52,500 --> 00:57:56,000
He points to the glory of 
Christ, he reveals the truth of 

946
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,700
his glory. 
And by revealing the truth of 

947
00:57:58,700 --> 00:58:03,300
the glory of Christ, he reveals 
the truth of the glory of God. 

948
00:58:03,300 --> 00:58:06,200
The father wants, what Jesus 
said, they're all that the 

949
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:09,400
father has given me is mine. 
All that's mine. 

950
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,900
I'm going to give to the spirit 
and he's going to point you to 

951
00:58:12,900 --> 00:58:16,900
these things. 
It is the spirit reveals to us 

952
00:58:17,100 --> 00:58:20,600
truth, the glory of Christ, the 
truth of the glory of God, the 

953
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:25,800
Father, it is the spirit who 
reveals to us the things of God 

954
00:58:25,900 --> 00:58:31,000
that we could not see. 
Otherwise, First Corinthians 

955
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,400
chapter 2, I'll read it quickly 
verse 6. 

956
00:58:35,100 --> 00:58:37,900
He says, we do. 
However, speak a message of 

957
00:58:37,900 --> 00:58:41,100
wisdom among the mature, but not
the wisdom of this age, or the 

958
00:58:41,100 --> 00:58:43,500
rulers of this age, who are 
coming to nothing. 

959
00:58:43,900 --> 00:58:46,600
No, we speak of God's secret 
wisdom, a wisdom that has been 

960
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,800
hidden and that God does stand 
for our Glory Before Time began.

961
00:58:50,500 --> 00:58:53,200
None of the rulers of this age 
understood it for if they had 

962
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,400
they would not have crucified 
the Lord Of Glory. 

963
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,900
This is Paul talking here and 
he's saying we're understanding 

964
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,200
that it is this mystery the 
secret Wisdom that has been kept

965
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:02,800
we're understanding. 
Why was he understanding? 

966
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:04,700
Because the power of the Holy 
Spirit was revealing to him the 

967
00:59:04,700 --> 00:59:07,700
glory of God. 
However, as it is written, no 

968
00:59:07,700 --> 00:59:09,500
eye has seen. 
No ear has heard. 

969
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,400
No mind has conceived what God 
has prepared. 

970
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,700
For those who love him. 
What's verse 10. 

971
00:59:15,500 --> 00:59:21,600
But God has revealed it to us by
his Spirit has revealed his 

972
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:25,000
secret wisdom. 
His majesty, his attributes. 

973
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,300
His characteristics from that 
passage there. 

974
00:59:27,500 --> 00:59:31,300
His eternal wisdom, the spirit 
It searches all things, even the

975
00:59:31,300 --> 00:59:34,500
depths of God or the Deep things
of God, some of your 

976
00:59:34,500 --> 00:59:37,800
manuscripts. 
Say for who among men knows the 

977
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:40,500
thoughts of a man except a man 
Spirit within him and the same 

978
00:59:40,500 --> 00:59:42,700
way, no one knows the thoughts 
of God, except the spirit of 

979
00:59:42,707 --> 00:59:45,300
God, we have not received the 
spirit of the world but the 

980
00:59:45,300 --> 00:59:50,200
spirit who is from God that we 
may understand what God has 

981
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,900
freely given us. 
What is Paul saying here? 

982
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,400
you think that it is by the 
spirit through his power that we

983
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:01,600
have received the things of God 
that even Generations passed 

984
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:07,000
along to see, but could not see 
After the indwelling, holy 

985
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:10,300
spirit, this promise that Jesus 
is making here to all believers.

986
01:00:12,300 --> 01:00:15,900
we see that through that 
indwelling, Holy Spirit, We 

987
01:00:15,900 --> 01:00:17,800
received the wisdom of God. 
The Father. 

988
01:00:18,700 --> 01:00:20,800
How do we receive that wisdom? 
We open up the scripture. 

989
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:25,000
We begin to see wisdom like 
we've never seen before. 

990
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,800
We begin to see the wisdom of 
God in comparison to the wisdom 

991
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,800
and intellect of man, we begin 
to see the wisdom of God in 

992
01:00:31,808 --> 01:00:34,000
comparison to the wisdom and the
intellect of medicine. 

993
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,800
We begin to see the wisdom of 
God in comparison to the wisdom 

994
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,900
of modern science. 
Human knowledge and philosophy 

995
01:00:42,300 --> 01:00:47,000
and ideology we began to see 
unveiled And truth because of 

996
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,900
the indwelling, Holy Spirit who 
is revealing to us. 

997
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,000
Not only the glory of Christ, 
the son, but also the glory of 

998
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:58,400
God, the Father we see the 
wisdom of God being revealed. 

999
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:07,200
Also see the attributes of God. 
Dive into scripture and see if 

1000
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,500
the script the spirit doesn't 
move you. 

1001
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,300
As you see the one true God, and
who he is, you see his 

1002
01:01:14,300 --> 01:01:16,800
sovereignty. 
You see his associate e. 

1003
01:01:17,500 --> 01:01:20,500
You see his immutability. 
You see his omniscience. 

1004
01:01:20,500 --> 01:01:24,200
You see his omnipresence? 
You see him for who scripture 

1005
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:28,000
says that he is as revealed by 
the Holy Spirit, you see that 

1006
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:32,000
God and see if you don't see 
greater glory being revealed 

1007
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,600
every day. 
That you find yourself in the 

1008
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:38,100
Holy scriptures, they're bowed 
before him learning from the 

1009
01:01:38,100 --> 01:01:40,800
Holy Spirit as he reveals to you
the Glorious. 

1010
01:01:40,900 --> 01:01:44,200
Three of the father, just as he 
is revealed to you, the glory of

1011
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,300
the son, you see the attributes 
of God. 

1012
01:01:46,300 --> 01:01:50,000
And you see his great Glory as 
revealed by the holy spirit. 

1013
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:55,100
In the pages of scripture, Then 
he shows you his holy position. 

1014
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:00,000
It's only position. 
Oh, it should bring us to a 

1015
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:03,200
place of great fear in great 
reverence when we see his 

1016
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,000
position over and over in 
Scripture. 

1017
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,500
It should cause us to be as 
Isaiah. 

1018
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,000
Not to flippantly approach, the 
God of this universe, The 

1019
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:17,300
Sovereign over all the Thrice, 
holy God, to approach him 

1020
01:02:17,300 --> 01:02:19,600
flippantly with an attitude as 
if he owes us something. 

1021
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,800
But no to approach him with fear
and trembling as the scripture 

1022
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:26,000
commands us to do and utter 
reverence fall before him as 

1023
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,800
Isaiah did woe is me for. 
I am an unclean man with unclean

1024
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,000
lips among a people of unclean 
lips. 

1025
01:02:33,500 --> 01:02:35,200
What is the spirit reveals to 
us? 

1026
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:39,800
The glory of God the Father, the
glory of God, the son. 

1027
01:02:40,900 --> 01:02:44,700
Who they are. 
What they accomplished. 

1028
01:02:45,900 --> 01:02:49,600
How they deserve all glory and 
honor and praise is the Holy 

1029
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:51,800
Spirit who continually reveals 
the truth? 

1030
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:56,000
The truth of God's word, the 
truth of the glory of Christ and

1031
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,500
the truth of the glory of the 
father. 

1032
01:02:59,500 --> 01:03:03,500
So what does this mean for us? 
As we wrap this up means a lot. 

1033
01:03:05,900 --> 01:03:08,900
I would that I could stay here 
for another two hours. 

1034
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,300
Just to speak to you about the 
glory of the father and the 

1035
01:03:13,300 --> 01:03:17,300
glory of the son. 
But I know the time does not 

1036
01:03:17,300 --> 01:03:21,500
permit. 
But I'm thankful that the Holy 

1037
01:03:21,500 --> 01:03:26,000
Spirit has revealed a glimpse of
those things through his word to

1038
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:30,800
me his mere servant. 
My prayers that he would reveal 

1039
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,400
those things to you as well and 
that you would be overwhelmed by

1040
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,500
them. 
How do we wrap this up? 

1041
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:40,400
We value the continual work of 
the promised. 

1042
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,400
Holy Spirit, that's what we do. 
We value it. 

1043
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:47,300
We value the comfort that he 
brings to the believer, ma'am. 

1044
01:03:47,300 --> 01:03:49,900
Sir, you're going through a 
trial right now as a believer, 

1045
01:03:52,100 --> 01:03:54,700
Can I apply the word of God to 
your life and make you this 

1046
01:03:54,700 --> 01:03:58,100
promise that you have a 
comforter and Advocate paraclete

1047
01:03:58,100 --> 01:04:01,400
the Holy Spirit promised? 
By Jesus Christ, who was walking

1048
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:07,000
through, that fire with you 
right now, clean cling to him 

1049
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:12,300
for Comfort, cling to him for 
strength, Sinner. 

1050
01:04:12,300 --> 01:04:16,500
Can I say this to you today? 
Perhaps you're being convicted 

1051
01:04:16,500 --> 01:04:22,100
of your unbelief. oh, my prayer 
is that you are My prayer is 

1052
01:04:22,100 --> 01:04:25,300
that you were being so convicted
today, that you will not leave 

1053
01:04:25,300 --> 01:04:28,800
here, without being converted. 
That you will cry. 

1054
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:34,300
Out desperately to a holy God 
for his mercy and his grace as 

1055
01:04:34,300 --> 01:04:37,400
you by faith. 
Trust in Jesus Christ, as the 

1056
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:42,800
only payment for your sin As you
believe in him and Trust in his 

1057
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,600
death, his burial, his 
resurrection as the only hope 

1058
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,700
you have of eternal life, my 
prayer for you today is that the

1059
01:04:48,700 --> 01:04:52,300
spirit can fix you. 
To a point of salvation. 

1060
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:58,600
When you were broken for a holy 
God, depending upon the mercy 

1061
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,600
and Grace of a savior named 
Jesus. 

1062
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:10,000
But you walk in that continued 
revelation of his word. 

1063
01:05:10,100 --> 01:05:13,600
You seek truth today maybe we 
have some truth Seekers here 

1064
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,600
today. 
Oh, don't buy into the world's 

1065
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,800
live relative. 
Truth relative truth is a 

1066
01:05:19,808 --> 01:05:26,900
deception of Satan there is but 
one truth It is inspired by the 

1067
01:05:26,900 --> 01:05:30,900
Holy Spirit. 
It was pinned by many many 

1068
01:05:30,900 --> 01:05:35,300
authors under his supervision 
And we have in our hand when we 

1069
01:05:35,300 --> 01:05:40,800
take these 66 books, all the 
truth that we need to live a 

1070
01:05:40,808 --> 01:05:45,900
life that is honoring to God. 
And to spend an eternity with a 

1071
01:05:45,900 --> 01:05:49,800
God who loved us enough that he 
sent his son to die in our place

1072
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:52,200
to rescue us. 
See the truth today. 

1073
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:57,900
In value that thank him for it. 
So I'm confident of one thing 

1074
01:05:57,900 --> 01:06:01,100
today. 
I'm confident of this that the 

1075
01:06:01,100 --> 01:06:02,700
holy spirit is working this 
morning. 

1076
01:06:02,700 --> 01:06:04,400
How do I know that he's always 
working? 

1077
01:06:06,700 --> 01:06:10,300
he's always working because 
Jesus promised, that he would be

1078
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:16,300
Maybe he's working on you today.
is convicting, you As an 

1079
01:06:16,300 --> 01:06:19,000
unbeliever that you need Christ 
as your savior, and Lord today, 

1080
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,500
would you turn to him in faith 
and repentance is the spirit? 

1081
01:06:22,500 --> 01:06:26,900
Empowers, you to believe it, 
turn from unbelief and send in 

1082
01:06:26,900 --> 01:06:28,700
to turn to Christ and Christ 
Alone. 

1083
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:31,800
Did you flee? 
The coming wrath and judgment 

1084
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:36,300
that will and has fallen upon 
all condemned unbelievers? 

1085
01:06:36,900 --> 01:06:39,200
Would you be saved today by the 
grace of God? 

1086
01:06:40,300 --> 01:06:44,200
Perhaps today, you are a 
Believer, is a spirit working. 

1087
01:06:45,500 --> 01:06:49,300
You working in your life. 
Revealing to you truth today, 

1088
01:06:49,900 --> 01:06:52,200
truth that maybe your life is 
not lining up with what it 

1089
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:53,600
should as a Christian perhaps 
today. 

1090
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:55,900
You would confess that sin, you 
would repent of that sin. 

1091
01:06:57,700 --> 01:06:59,900
Knowing that first. 
John 1:9 says that if we confess

1092
01:06:59,900 --> 01:07:02,200
our sins, he is faithful and 
just to forgive us, our sins and

1093
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:04,000
cleanse us from all 
unrighteousness. 

1094
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Would you confess that today? 
Whatever it is. 

1095
01:07:08,100 --> 01:07:10,400
Do you walk in the Forgiveness 
that he died for you to have? 

1096
01:07:11,900 --> 01:07:13,600
Perhaps, you're that Christian 
today, who's walking through 

1097
01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:16,300
grief? 
Walking through sorrow, you're 

1098
01:07:16,300 --> 01:07:20,200
walking through bad news. 
What would you trust in the Holy

1099
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:23,000
Spirit today to give you the joy
that Jesus promised that he 

1100
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,600
would bring even in the midst of
your grief? 

1101
01:07:28,100 --> 01:07:31,900
Maybe yield to the Holy Spirit. 
May his will be done. 

1102
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,500
Father, in the name of Jesus, we
come to you thanking you so much

1103
01:07:35,500 --> 01:07:39,900
for your word. well, there's so 
many things that we have seen 

1104
01:07:39,900 --> 01:07:46,800
today, but yet so many things We
did not have the time to look 

1105
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:50,200
at. 
God, I pray that you make those 

1106
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:53,700
things clear to us. 
And I pray for the unbeliever 

1107
01:07:53,700 --> 01:07:57,200
who's here today. 
He's making every excuse right 

1108
01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:02,100
now, in his human depraved mind 
as to why you shouldn't run to 

1109
01:08:02,100 --> 01:08:06,900
your feet and bow. 
I pray now that you take away 

1110
01:08:06,900 --> 01:08:10,000
every one of those excuses that 
your spirit would convict him of

1111
01:08:10,008 --> 01:08:12,100
his unbelief that you would 
convict him. 

1112
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:16,200
Of his unrighteousness and his 
need for True righteousness that

1113
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,300
you would convict him or her as 
that they are condemned and need

1114
01:08:19,300 --> 01:08:21,600
to be freed from that. 
Condemnation in Christ that you 

1115
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:23,300
would save The Wretched soul 
today. 

1116
01:08:25,399 --> 01:08:27,300
God, I pray for each believer. 
Who's here today? 

1117
01:08:28,700 --> 01:08:31,300
They would rest in the continual
work of the promised. 

1118
01:08:31,300 --> 01:08:34,399
Holy Spirit, as we have seen it 
laid out by Jesus himself. 

1119
01:08:35,899 --> 01:08:40,100
John's gospel this morning, may 
you be glorified, may your will 

1120
01:08:40,100 --> 01:08:45,100
be done now in Jesus name.
