00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:09,500
Thank you for joining us at Key 
Life Fellowship for her Pulpit 

2
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:13,000
Ministry, podcast. 
Each sermon on this podcast is 

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,200
from our 11 a.m. 
Sunday service. 

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,900
We are glad that you have joined
us digitally, but would love to 

5
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:23,100
see you in person on Sunday 
mornings at either 9 a.m. or 11 

6
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:27,000
a.m. 
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
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:39,400
Would turn to John's gospel. 
The 17th chapter John in the 

9
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:44,700
seventeenth chapter of his 
gospel is recording here for us 

10
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:47,200
as we have seen in the last two 
lessons. 

11
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:53,600
What is known as Jesus High 
Priestly prayer which we have 

12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,700
labeled the true Lord's Prayer. 
The true Lord's Prayer. 

13
00:00:57,700 --> 00:01:00,600
Contrary to what many people 
think that the Lord's Prayer is 

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,800
found in Matthew. 
That is the model prayer that is

15
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,800
Jesus teaching his disciples. 
How to pray this here in John. 

16
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,300
Chapter 17 is Jesus actually 
praying. 

17
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:14,600
This is the true Lord's Prayer. 
We're going to see in this 

18
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,900
prayer today that Jesus 
intercedes. 

19
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:22,300
For his own. 
We will begin examining this 

20
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:26,500
portion of the high Priestly 
prayer in this third lesson. 

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,100
And in this third lesson, we are
going to see that Jesus 

22
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,600
intercedes. 
For his own as their great high 

23
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,800
priest. 
Isn't it good to know that we 

24
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:46,900
have a great high priest who 
intercedes for his own? 

25
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,300
He's going to direct petitions 
to the father on behalf of his 

26
00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:57,300
sheep in this prayer. 
In fact, specifically those 

27
00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:00,100
sheep over there with him. 
During this time they are the 

28
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:02,600
eleven eleven remaining 
Apostles. 

29
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,800
We know Judas Iscariot has 
already betrayed Christ. 

30
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,600
He's already gone his way of 
Perdition. 

31
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:16,900
Now, it's Jesus. 
The 11 who remained. we're going

32
00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:19,600
to read about this today, and 
he's going to pray specifically 

33
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,200
for them, but there are lessons 
in this for all disciples who 

34
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,500
will follow after them, Sinclair
Ferguson says this. 

35
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,000
In his book entitled lessons, 
from the upper room, he says 

36
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,400
that we should turn to the high 
Priestly prayer of Jesus 

37
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,500
frequently. 
To find out what Christ most 

38
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:43,900
wants. 
We should turn to this prayer 

39
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:48,100
frequently to find out what 
Christ most wants. 

40
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,200
This is the deepest desires of 
Christ. 

41
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,900
He is petitioning, the father. 
It's the same as when you go to 

42
00:02:54,900 --> 00:03:00,400
the father and you pour out your
deepest desire, Christ tears, 

43
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,000
pouring out, his deepest desires
to the father and in this 

44
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,900
portion of the high Priestly 
prayer, we are going to as mr. 

45
00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:12,100
Ferguson has said, we are going 
to see and to find out what 

46
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:15,600
Christ most wants for his 
disciples. 

47
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:26,500
To even begin to imagine. 
That the Lord cares for me 

48
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:34,200
enough. 
That he cares for you who are in

49
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:40,400
Christ enough. 
To have any other desire for us 

50
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,300
than that, we would perish in 
hell, like we deserve. 

51
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,100
Is astounding. 
We're going to see he Reveals 

52
00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:55,300
His desire for his own. 
In this prayer. 

53
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,200
He is going to pray 
specifically. 

54
00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:04,900
For the Believers. 
We are going to see that in this

55
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:08,700
lesson, and then when we meet 
again for our John lesson, after

56
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:12,100
the Resurrection Sunday break, 
which we will take next week, 

57
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:14,900
you don't have to advertise that
on Facebook to know that a 

58
00:04:14,908 --> 00:04:18,300
church is going to have a 
resurrection service on the 

59
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:22,600
resurrection holiday. 
We have one every week here. 

60
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:29,700
Every weeks the Lord's day every
week is Resurrection Day. but 

61
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:34,500
when we return, we're going to 
see not only does he pray for 

62
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:40,500
these eleven who are with him on
Earth, the apostles He's going 

63
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:47,800
to then pray for us. and to 
think, That 2000 years ago. 

64
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,600
Jesus is going to share in a 
prayer. 

65
00:04:56,500 --> 00:05:03,500
To the father. 
What he most wants for me. 

66
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:09,300
The one who was a deserving of 
hell and of judgment. 

67
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,100
Yet he rescued me. 
So as we look at the true Lord's

68
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:17,100
prayer. 
Today, we're going to see Jesus 

69
00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:22,200
interceding for his own. 
I told the men when we started 

70
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,700
this, as one of my favorite 
passages of scripture, and I 

71
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:28,900
really do mean that and I know 
you find me saying that all the 

72
00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:41,800
time about every passage that I 
come too. but this one, If you 

73
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,400
will, pay close attention with 
me today. 

74
00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:51,000
Begins to reveal the true heart.
That Jesus does have. 

75
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:57,800
As intercessor for those who the
father has given him. 

76
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,900
We talked a lot about that. 
Last week. 

77
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:03,600
We're going to see that again. 
Look at John chapter 17. 

78
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:08,400
Verse 9. 
I'll read it all in and we'll 

79
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,500
break it down. 
He says, I pray for them. 

80
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,600
I'm not praying for the world 
attention to that. 

81
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:23,800
Not praying for the world, but 
for those, you have given me 

82
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,900
over all the people in the world
who just think that Jesus is on 

83
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:31,500
their side, the wrong. 
I'm praying for all those you 

84
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:35,500
have given me for. 
They are yours. 

85
00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:38,200
Who are his, those who the 
father has given. 

86
00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:40,800
There's no need to work that out
again. 

87
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:45,500
First 10, all I have is yours 
and all you have is mine. 

88
00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:48,100
Glory has come to me through 
them. 

89
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,700
He's saying again so that we can
understand it. 

90
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:56,700
We are one in essence. 
I will remain in the world no 

91
00:06:56,700 --> 00:07:01,000
longer, but they are still in 
the world, and I'm coming to 

92
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,400
you. 
Holy Father, protect them by the

93
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,200
power of your name. 
I'm coming to you. 

94
00:07:07,700 --> 00:07:09,300
Then he calls on the father, 
Holy Father. 

95
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:13,700
Protect them by. 
Your name. 

96
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:21,200
The name, you gave me so that 
they may be one as We Are One. 

97
00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:25,000
While I was with them, I 
protected them and kept them 

98
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,800
save. 
By the name you gave me. 

99
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:30,900
None has been lost except the 
one doomed to destruction so 

100
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:32,400
that the scripture would be 
fulfilled. 

101
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,900
I want Doom to extract the 
destruction, he didn't say the 

102
00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:37,900
one who was saved and then got 
lost. 

103
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:40,200
He says, he was doomed to 
destruction. 

104
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,100
He was never of Christ. 
John told us this is epistle. 

105
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,800
He went out from us because he 
was not of us. 

106
00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:53,500
I'm coming to you now. 
But I say these things while I'm

107
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:56,600
still in the world so that they 
may have the full measure of my 

108
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,700
joy within them. 
Stop for a second. 

109
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:03,400
Jesus is just hours from the 
cross. 

110
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,700
Hours from the cross. 
And he's not focused on nails, 

111
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,400
he's not focused on a Crown of 
Thorns. 

112
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:13,700
He's not focused on the 
scourging, that's about to take 

113
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:16,600
place as they rip flesh from his
back, he's not focused on his 

114
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,200
beard being ripped from his 
face. 

115
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,200
He's not focused from the 
embarrassment and the shame of 

116
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,400
hey me hanging naked there on a 
tree. 

117
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:27,800
He's not mentioning those 
things. 

118
00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:31,900
He's wanting to join of his 
disciples to be complete. 

119
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:36,100
What a beautiful picture here of
the savior's heart. 

120
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,900
He says this, in verse 14, I've 
given them your word and the 

121
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:46,100
world has hated them for they 
are not of the world, any more 

122
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:49,700
than I am of the world. 
My prayer is not that you take 

123
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:53,200
them out of the world but that 
you protect them from the evil 

124
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,700
one. 
They are not of the world even 

125
00:08:56,700 --> 00:08:59,700
as I am not of it sanctify them 
by the truth. 

126
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:02,800
Your word is truth as you sent 
me into the world. 

127
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,700
I have sent them into the world 
for them. 

128
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:10,500
I sanctify myself that they too 
may be truly Sanctified. 

129
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:13,000
Jesus said I set myself apart so
that they would do the same 

130
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,200
thing. 
Let us look at this and let us 

131
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,500
break down this prayer of 
intercession from Christ. 

132
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:22,500
This is an intercessory prayer. 
He is praying for others. 

133
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:26,000
That is the definition of an 
intercessory prayer, where one 

134
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,000
prays for another, where one 
stands in the gap for an 

135
00:09:29,008 --> 00:09:32,100
individual or a group of 
individuals, he is interceding 

136
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:37,700
in his prayer petitioning. 
The father for his own, this is 

137
00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:42,600
a prayer of specificity. 
Now you've heard me say 

138
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,600
specificity wants I'm going to 
try not to say that too many 

139
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,000
times today because if I say 
specificity, I'll mess it up. 

140
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,100
If I say specificity too many 
times, I'm going to mess it up 

141
00:09:56,700 --> 00:09:59,200
but don't you see? 
This is a specific prayer, this 

142
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,000
is a specific prayer, a pointed 
prayer, a directional prayer. 

143
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:07,000
Not a general prayer not, not 
another blanket prayer. 

144
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,300
This is a direct prayer for an 
exclusive group in that 

145
00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:17,300
exclusive group is his own. 
They are that specific prayer. 

146
00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:21,200
Verse 9 makes this very clear. 
I pray for them. 

147
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,700
I am not praying for the world. 
Who is he praying for his own? 

148
00:10:26,300 --> 00:10:29,700
But for those, you have given 
me, those, the father has given 

149
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:34,000
him his true sheep for. 
They are yours. 

150
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,700
He's not praying for Judas here.
Judas was not his own to father,

151
00:10:37,700 --> 00:10:42,900
had not given him Judas. 
He was not of the sheep pen, 

152
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,400
he's praying for his own. 
All I have is yours and all you 

153
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,400
have is mine. 
Glory has come to me through 

154
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:55,100
them, he is praying specifically
for the Believers. 

155
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,200
This is specific intercession 
for his own for the elect. 

156
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:06,100
He said, I pray for them. 
It doesn't make any two ways 

157
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:08,600
about it doesn't apologize for 
not praying for anyone else. 

158
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:12,300
He is interceding for the 
Saints. 

159
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,300
Those the father had given him, 
what a privilege it is to be, 

160
00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:21,200
given to the son by the father 
and to know that the sun is 

161
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,800
interceding for us. 
He says, I'm praying for them. 

162
00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:28,300
He says, I'm not praying for the
world. 

163
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:32,100
Do you know, he knows who the 
world is. 

164
00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:35,200
He knows all of the unredeemed 
Just as he knows all of the 

165
00:11:35,208 --> 00:11:37,200
redeemed before they ever know 
it. 

166
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,400
He knows it. 
He says are not praying for 

167
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,900
them. 
Jesus was not praying for the 

168
00:11:42,900 --> 00:11:47,200
unbelieving world, why? 
He's not the intercessors for 

169
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,800
the unbeliever. 
If he were the intercessor for 

170
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,000
the unbelievers, they would be 
saved because he would mediate 

171
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,700
between them and God. 
Just as he does for the 

172
00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:56,600
believer, they are not saved and
he's making that very clear. 

173
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,000
I'm not there intercessor. 
That's why he includes the 

174
00:11:59,008 --> 00:12:01,200
phrase. 
I'm not praying for the world. 

175
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:04,400
Oh, what a privilege. 
It is your Christian to have 

176
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,100
Christ interceding for us. 
Is, I'm not praying for the 

177
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:10,100
world. 
I'm praying for my own. 

178
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,600
Intercedes for his church. 
He doesn't understand for the 

179
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,700
world. 
Why does he not intercede for 

180
00:12:15,700 --> 00:12:18,100
the world? 
Because he's going to judge the 

181
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:20,900
world. 
Although man on Thursday, nights

182
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:22,900
are studying and walking through
the Book of Revelation. 

183
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,300
Just this last week, we saw the 
great white Throne judgment. 

184
00:12:28,300 --> 00:12:31,800
It is at the great white Throne 
judgment that all of those whose

185
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,700
names were not written in the 
Lamb's Book of Life before the 

186
00:12:34,700 --> 00:12:39,800
foundations of the Earth, 
Resentenced to the lake of 

187
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,600
everlasting fire. 
Which is the second death for 

188
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,900
their unbelief and their sin, 
they were judged out of books 

189
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,400
and the books that we learned 
about, were these. 

190
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,200
There were books that contain to
every sinful deed that they had 

191
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,500
ever committed, aren't you 
thankful that in Christ? 

192
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:56,400
All of our sinful Deeds have 
been cast as far as the East is 

193
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,500
from the west where he remembers
them no more. 

194
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,000
Aren't you thankful that they 
are at the depths of the ocean? 

195
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,700
Never to be seen again, but for 
the unbeliever, this is not 

196
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:06,500
true. 
The unbeliever, he will stand 

197
00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:09,400
before God and he will answer 
for every single Wicked deed. 

198
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,500
And then if that's not enough, 
he will then answer for the fact

199
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:15,100
that his name is not in the 
Lamb's Book of Life that he is 

200
00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:19,400
not truly saved that. 
He did not truly believe unto 

201
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,500
Christ for salvation. 
He'll be their judge. 

202
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:27,800
And the situation. 
All the world loves to scream 

203
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,300
that. 
Oh, don't judge me. 

204
00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:37,000
And I warned you this there is a
judgment that is coming upon the

205
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,800
unbelieving world. 
Jesus is not praying for you in 

206
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,000
this text here. 
In John chapter 17 because he 

207
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,600
knows each and every one and he 
knows they will stand before 

208
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,100
him. 
And he has been given authority 

209
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:50,500
to judge them and they will 
experience the second death in 

210
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:53,100
Hell forever. 
You can't erase that from the 

211
00:13:53,108 --> 00:13:55,600
word of God. 
He says, I'm not praying for 

212
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,500
them. 
But I am praying for my own. 

213
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:07,300
He intercedes for those and only
those who were his those and 

214
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:12,000
only those who are hints. 
When the enemy wants to bring an

215
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,900
accusation against a True 
Believer, it is Christ who 

216
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:19,000
intercedes for us and says they 
have been covered in the blood. 

217
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:22,000
All of the accusations that you 
bring against them they are they

218
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,900
are arranged. 
They are null and void, why? 

219
00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:27,400
Because my blood has cleansed 
him as we sing about just a 

220
00:14:27,408 --> 00:14:29,200
moment ago from all of their 
sin. 

221
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:35,000
He's praying for his own. 
It's specific intersection. 

222
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:40,200
Intercession Ford Is he laying 
not only? 

223
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,400
As we look at this intercessory 
prayer of specificity, is it 

224
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,800
specific? 
Intercession for his own. 

225
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,700
It is specific intimacy with his
own. 

226
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:54,300
Look at verse 10 verse 10 there.
In the first part. 

227
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,100
All I have get have is yours and
all you have is mine. 

228
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,200
He's talking there about the 
deep and intimate Fellowship, 

229
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,900
that is own have with the 
father. 

230
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:12,100
And with the sun, this is 
revealing specific intimacy for 

231
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:14,500
his own. 
It is revealing that they have 

232
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:18,100
been allowed communion with the 
father and that they have been 

233
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:20,600
allowed at communion with the 
sun. 

234
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:28,000
This is specific intimacy. 
Meaning this that he loves his 

235
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,500
elect with a different kind of 
love than the general love that 

236
00:15:31,500 --> 00:15:36,300
he has for the world, he loves 
them with a communing 

237
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,700
fellowshiping. 
Intimate love, he reveals that. 

238
00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:44,900
Here it is. 
That love it is that love that 

239
00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:48,400
allows us to commune with the 
father and fellowship to be one 

240
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,100
with him and to commune with the
sun and fellowship and to be one

241
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,000
with him. 
In fact, first John John says 

242
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,300
this in his first epistle 
chapter 1 verse 1 that which was

243
00:15:56,300 --> 00:15:58,400
from the beginning, which we 
have heard, which we have seen 

244
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,000
with our eyes, which we have 
looked at in our hands have 

245
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,200
touched this. 
We Proclaim concerning the word 

246
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,900
of life. 
The life appeared. 

247
00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:07,600
Yes, it was Christ. 
We have seen it and testify. 

248
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:09,500
Do it. 
And we Proclaim to you, the 

249
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:12,800
eternal life, which was with the
father and has appeared to us. 

250
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,400
Eternal life was with the 
father. 

251
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:20,700
When in eternity past, Now, 
we've seen and heard of it, so 

252
00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:23,300
that you also may have 
fellowship with us and our 

253
00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:27,500
fellowship. 
Watches is with the father and 

254
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:31,700
with his son, Jesus Christ. 
Now, see if John didn't borrow 

255
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:33,400
this. 
From the words of Jesus, we 

256
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:39,700
write this to make our joy 
complete Was John saying here, 

257
00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:44,100
John was saying this and there's
intimate Fellowship for the 

258
00:16:44,100 --> 00:16:45,800
saint with the father and the 
son. 

259
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,400
There is true, intimate 
communion and there is no 

260
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,700
intimate communion in any other 
way. 

261
00:16:52,300 --> 00:16:55,400
Why is there true intimate 
communion between the father and

262
00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:00,700
the son with the believer? 
Watch this because Jesus prayed 

263
00:17:00,700 --> 00:17:05,099
for it in John chapter 17. 
Jesus is praying for that 

264
00:17:05,099 --> 00:17:09,700
intimacy for his own that they 
would No, the father as he knows

265
00:17:09,700 --> 00:17:12,000
the father and they would know 
the Sun as the father knows the 

266
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,300
son and that they would be one 
with the father. 

267
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:21,700
And with the son is a specific 
intimacy for his own being 

268
00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:23,200
revealed. 
He praised not for the world 

269
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,599
here. 
He has no deep intimacy and 

270
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:29,900
communion with the world. 
In fact, they shrug at his 

271
00:17:29,900 --> 00:17:32,400
General love that he shows them 
everyday. 

272
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,600
And how does he show them 
General? 

273
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,000
Love the lost. 
Man is alive right now, 

274
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,100
somewhere, eating lunch, 
enjoying life, and it's only 

275
00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:44,300
because of God's General 
benevolent. 

276
00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:48,500
Love for mankind, that he does 
that because he deserves to die 

277
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,600
and he deserves judgment and he 
deserves hell. 

278
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,900
Oh, how much deeper? 
Is the love of God in Christ for

279
00:17:57,900 --> 00:18:01,500
those who the father has given 
the sun. 

280
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:08,100
Allowing them, intimate 
communion with the godhead, deep

281
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,700
intimacy, only for the True 
Believer. 

282
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:15,100
This intercessory prayer of 
specificity is special 

283
00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:18,800
intercession for his own and 
specific intimacy with his own 

284
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:22,100
thirdly. 
He reveals in this specific 

285
00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:26,900
intentions for his own specific.
Intentions, look at verse 10, 

286
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:32,000
all I have is yours and all you 
have is mine & Glory has come to

287
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,600
me through them. 
You said? 

288
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,400
My specific intention for my 
followers. 

289
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,100
Is that they bring me Glory? 
That Christ would be seen in and

290
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:54,800
through his disciples. 
He speaking in past tense as if 

291
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,700
it's already happened because 
it's already determined it's 

292
00:18:57,700 --> 00:19:00,000
going to happen. 
Don't you love when Jesus does 

293
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,300
that he speaks of something that
hasn't yet happened? 

294
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,300
As if it's already happened 
because the father has already 

295
00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:08,700
spoke it into existence in 
eternity past, he said these 

296
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:13,000
disciples are going to bring me 
Glory really Peter's going to in

297
00:19:13,008 --> 00:19:16,400
that deny him three times and in
just an hour or so. 

298
00:19:17,900 --> 00:19:20,900
How could that be? 
Jesus knows the full story. 

299
00:19:20,900 --> 00:19:24,000
Aren't you thankful for that and
he doesn't base the full story 

300
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,900
based on your mess ups on the 
front end, he's got the whole 

301
00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:33,200
thing already figured out. 
He's saying that here specific 

302
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,800
intentions for his own. 
What is this specific intentions

303
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,700
for his own? 
It's this and he would be seen 

304
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:44,500
through his true disciples and 
that in Christ being seen in his

305
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:47,100
true disciples. 
They would bring glory to him 

306
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,800
with their lives. 
It's as good as done. 

307
00:19:50,700 --> 00:19:52,300
All of these who he's praying 
for here. 

308
00:19:52,300 --> 00:19:56,900
You know what they went on to do
Bring glory to God with their 

309
00:19:56,900 --> 00:19:59,800
lives. 
He's apostles who he is 

310
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,100
specifically praying for here 
today, are the reason that we 

311
00:20:04,100 --> 00:20:09,000
are here this morning, because 
they continue to be faithful to 

312
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,700
that, which Jesus prayed, they 
would be faithful to and that 

313
00:20:12,700 --> 00:20:16,200
was the Gospel and the glory of 
the Lord, Jesus Christ. 

314
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,000
Do you see when Jesus prays 
things happen? 

315
00:20:19,900 --> 00:20:24,800
What Comfort we have of knowing 
that if we are truly his His 

316
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,700
intentions for us will come to 
pass and what is his attention 

317
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:32,600
intention for the True Believer.
That Christ would be seen in 

318
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,600
them and that they would bring 
Glory with their lives and bring

319
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,600
others to the gospel with the 
message that they preach. 

320
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:44,800
The words that they Proclaim, 
this is an intercessory prayer 

321
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:51,000
of specificity is specifically 
for his own before you go making

322
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,400
accusations, who does Jesus 
think that he is? 

323
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,600
I'll go ahead and tell you, he's
king of kings and Lord of lords 

324
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,800
and he can pray for whoever. 
He wants to whenever he wants 

325
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,900
to, and you have no business and
trying to tell him how to do it 

326
00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:09,000
differently. 
I'll take that, as praise. 

327
00:21:11,700 --> 00:21:15,400
I hope he does. 
The next thing we see this 

328
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,400
intercessory prayer is I prefer 
security. 

329
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,100
Want you to pay close attention 
to this? 

330
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:26,100
11 through 16 talk about 
security. 

331
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:30,200
Jesus is praying that his 
disciples would be secure verse 

332
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,400
11 speaks of this. 
He says, I will remain in the 

333
00:21:33,408 --> 00:21:35,300
world no longer, but they are 
still in the world. 

334
00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:37,900
Jesus grieving that he's leaving
his disciples. 

335
00:21:37,900 --> 00:21:39,600
I am leaving the world. 
Where is he going? 

336
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,600
Just as he said, he's going back
to the father. 

337
00:21:42,700 --> 00:21:44,500
But he knows he's going to leave
them into the world and you 

338
00:21:44,508 --> 00:21:46,500
know, this he knows everything 
that they're going to face. 

339
00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:50,200
He knows the persecution. 
He knows that Peter's going to 

340
00:21:50,208 --> 00:21:52,200
deny him three times. 
He knows the agony and the 

341
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,500
internal Agony that Peters going
to face in the shame because he 

342
00:21:54,508 --> 00:21:56,000
denies Christ. 
But he also knows that he's 

343
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,500
going to restore Peter on the 
Sea of Galilee and he knows his 

344
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:01,200
that Peter is going to go on and
on the day of Pentecost, he's 

345
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,800
going to preach the greatest 
sermon that the world has ever 

346
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,900
heard since Christ, preached and
thousands are going to be saved.

347
00:22:06,900 --> 00:22:09,500
And he knows that Peter one day 
is going to be crucified upside 

348
00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:12,100
down on a cross, and he's going 
to do that with great joy in his

349
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:15,000
heart. 
He knows what's going to happen 

350
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,500
here. 
Yeah, he knows that they need 

351
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:19,700
security. 
I will remain in the world no 

352
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:22,100
longer, but they are still in 
the world and I am coming to 

353
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:25,100
you. 
Holy Father, protect them by the

354
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:27,800
power of your name. 
He's saying, father protect 

355
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,300
them. 
The name you gave me so that 

356
00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:34,500
they may be one as we are one 
while I was with them. 

357
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:37,900
I protected them and kept them 
save by that name you gave me. 

358
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,800
None has been lost except the 
one doomed to destruction. 

359
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,900
It was destiny that he was lost,
so that scripture would be 

360
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:50,300
fulfilled. 
He's praying for the security of

361
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:55,000
his own Jesus interceding here 
in prayer for his disciples that

362
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,300
they would be secure and 
protected by God. 

363
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,100
This is the reason for a 
Believers eternal security. 

364
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,800
This is the sun petitioning, the
father to preserve his own, this

365
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,300
is the doctrine which is called 
the preservation of the Saints 

366
00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:16,800
or persevering faith. 
This Doctrine was wrought not in

367
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,100
the minds of theologians. 
This Doctrine is wrought to the 

368
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:24,700
prayer of Jesus here. 
In John, chapter 17, Jesus asked

369
00:23:24,700 --> 00:23:27,900
that his father followers be 
preserved. 

370
00:23:28,500 --> 00:23:31,200
People ask me, why do I believe 
in eternal security? 

371
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,000
Because Jesus prayed that his 
followers would be eternally 

372
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,100
secure and I doubt That Jesus 
didn't pray. 

373
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:42,700
The father's will. 
But he did pray, the father's 

374
00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:45,400
will because that's how he 
taught others to pray. 

375
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,700
And he prayed perfectly, the 
father's will and the father 

376
00:23:49,700 --> 00:23:55,900
secures, all those who are truly
in Christ, he keeps them 1st 

377
00:23:55,900 --> 00:24:00,100
Peter, chapter 1. 
Verse 3 says, praise be to the 

378
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:03,500
God and father of our Lord, 
Jesus Christ in his great Mercy.

379
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:05,700
He has given us a new birth into
a Living Hope through the 

380
00:24:05,708 --> 00:24:08,700
resurrection of Jesus Christ 
from the dead and into an 

381
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:17,200
inheritance that can never how 
many times never perish spoil or

382
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,900
fade. 
Watch this kept in heaven for 

383
00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:22,400
you. 
I'm glad it's not kept here 

384
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,200
because I would probably find it
in mess it up. 

385
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:28,400
It's kept in heaven for you who 
through faith or shielded by 

386
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,600
God's power until the coming of 
the Salvation that is ready to 

387
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,300
be revealed in the last time. 
Why are we shielded by God's 

388
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:37,500
power? 
Because Jesus prayed that we 

389
00:24:37,500 --> 00:24:40,200
would be preserved by the 
father's power. 

390
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:46,200
Look at that verse 11. 
He praised this I will remain in

391
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,500
the world no longer but they are
still in the world and I am 

392
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:50,600
coming to you. 
Holy Father, protect them by the

393
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,900
power of your name. 
You are protected in Christ by 

394
00:24:54,900 --> 00:25:01,300
the name of Jehovah, God of God.
Here's another is Almighty. 

395
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,500
There's no one above him. 
You're a preserved by the 

396
00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:08,500
father's power. 
You were kept. 

397
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,600
Why? 
Because you're good. 

398
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:18,600
Because you're a churchgoer. 
No, you're kept by the father's 

399
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,700
power because the sun asked the 
father, that it would be. 

400
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:25,800
So I'll see the prayer of Jesus 
here and how beautiful this is. 

401
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,800
You were kept and preserved. 
You are eternally secure 

402
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,200
preserved by the father's power 
because Jesus asked that it 

403
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,400
would be. 
So second Corinthians 1:21 says,

404
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,900
now it is God who makes both us 
and you stand firm in Christ, 

405
00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:43,200
who does it? 
Is God. 

406
00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:46,800
It's God who makes us stand. 
Firm in Christ. 

407
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,500
You thought it was you. 
I'm sorry that you're sadly 

408
00:25:48,500 --> 00:25:53,100
mistaken. 
It is God, he anointed us set 

409
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:56,000
his seal of ownership on us and 
put his spirit in our, hearts, 

410
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,700
as a deposit guaranteeing. 
What is to come, why didn't you 

411
00:25:58,700 --> 00:26:00,900
do this? 
Because here, in John chapter 

412
00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:05,800
17, Jesus asked that the father 
would the father is faithful to 

413
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,500
do with the sun, ask just as the
sun is faithful to do what the 

414
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:13,000
father asked of him. 
What a beautiful picture. 

415
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,900
We see there that we are 
preserved by the father's power.

416
00:26:15,900 --> 00:26:17,800
He said Holy Father, protect 
them. 

417
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,700
Not only preserved by the 
father's power were preserved by

418
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:24,700
the sun's position. 
The sun's position, look at 11 

419
00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:27,100
as it continues. 
He says, I will remain in the 

420
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:29,200
world no longer, but they are 
still in the world and I am 

421
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,100
coming to you. 
Holy Father, protect them by the

422
00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:36,600
power of your name. 
The name, you gave me So that 

423
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,300
they may be one as we are one. 
He says the name that you gave 

424
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:42,600
me. 
And what does that name? 

425
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,100
That name is familiar name. 
I hope to us. 

426
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:49,100
It is the name Jesus. 
Jehovah saves it is the name of 

427
00:26:49,108 --> 00:26:51,500
that. 
The father gave to the son and 

428
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:54,400
his Incarnation. 
Why is that so important? 

429
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,200
Jesus says, father, protect them
by your name and then also 

430
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,900
protect them and preserve them 
by my name. 

431
00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:04,100
The name you have given me the 
position that you have 

432
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:06,600
established for me. 
And what is that position? 

433
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,800
Let me just tell you what that 
position is in case you think 

434
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,700
that Jesus is ever going to let 
you down. 

435
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Philippians 2:9 says, therefore 
God, exalted him to the highest 

436
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,500
place. 
This is right after we see 

437
00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:19,700
Christ condescend into this 
Earth. 

438
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,000
As a human humbling himself and 
humbling himself to death on a 

439
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,700
cross. 
And because of that watches his 

440
00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:30,200
therefore God, exalted him to 
the highest place and gave him. 

441
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,900
The name, that is above every 
name that at the name of Jesus, 

442
00:27:33,900 --> 00:27:36,500
every knee should bow in heaven 
and on Earth and under the 

443
00:27:36,500 --> 00:27:38,000
Earth. 
And every tongue confess that 

444
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:42,600
Jesus Christ is Lord to the 
glory of God, the Father who 

445
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,500
protects us who preserves us 
Jesus, it is the name that is 

446
00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:48,900
above every name and who gave 
him that name. 

447
00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:52,700
It is the father and it is Jesus
here saying father continue to 

448
00:27:52,700 --> 00:27:56,100
preserve them by the name that 
you gave me. 

449
00:27:57,100 --> 00:27:59,600
Orange, you think for this 
morning that you were preserved 

450
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,600
in Jesus the Christ, aren't you 
thankful that? 

451
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,500
He is your lord and your savior 
and you have no reason to doubt.

452
00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:11,300
What he says is true, your 
preserve your preserved by the 

453
00:28:11,300 --> 00:28:13,400
father's power. 
Your preserved by the sun's 

454
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,100
position. 
Protected by Jesus himself. 

455
00:28:16,300 --> 00:28:21,800
In fact, Philippians, 1:6 tells 
us this Being confident of this 

456
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:25,600
that he who began a good work 
in, you will carry it on to 

457
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,800
completion until the day of 
Christ Jesus. 

458
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,100
You can Bank on it. 
If you are his, you are secure 

459
00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:37,000
in him until the day Christ 
returns and you are glorified, 

460
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,100
Protected by Jesus. 
There is no other name. 

461
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:43,300
It is the name that is above 
every name. 

462
00:28:43,900 --> 00:28:48,800
Hebrews 7:25 it says, therefore,
he is able to save completely to

463
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,700
the uttermost. 
He is able to save completely 

464
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:55,700
those who come to God through 
him, because he always lives to 

465
00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:58,800
intercede for them. 
He started interceding for us in

466
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:04,000
John, chapter 17 and he always 
continues to intercede for his 

467
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,300
own. 
Showing us that the work that he

468
00:29:07,300 --> 00:29:12,600
has begun will be completed. 
Also thankful for that this 

469
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,500
morning. 
I'm so thankful that he didn't 

470
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:17,400
let me get in here and mess that
up. 

471
00:29:18,900 --> 00:29:21,200
I told the first service, I'm 
glad he didn't let me be 

472
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,500
involved in that because I'm a 
professional Messer upper Earth.

473
00:29:26,100 --> 00:29:27,700
I know that's not proper 
English. 

474
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,000
But you get what I mean. 
If you ever just had one of 

475
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,100
those days where Everything You 
Touch, just fell apart. 

476
00:29:36,300 --> 00:29:39,700
How about one of those weeks? 
How about one of those months? 

477
00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:46,800
We could go on, couldn't we? 
If we could mess it up. 

478
00:29:47,900 --> 00:29:51,500
We would mess it up. 
Aren't you thankful that he 

479
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:54,900
doesn't let us? 
That were preserved by the 

480
00:29:54,900 --> 00:29:59,600
position of Jesus Christ. 
Unless somehow he falls off the 

481
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,200
throne. 
And he's not going to. 

482
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,700
Because there's no one big 
enough to knock him off the 

483
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:10,500
throne. 
Is the name that is above every 

484
00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:14,800
name that at the name of Jesus 
every knee will bow. 

485
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:22,400
And every tongue confess and he 
is the one who is preserving his

486
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,800
own. 
Oh, I get so aggravated with 

487
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,700
people who don't want to adhere 
to the doctrine of eternal 

488
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:31,800
security security, the 
preservation of the Saints. 

489
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:34,700
I get aggravated with them and 
the reason that I get aggravated

490
00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:37,500
with him is because they miss 
the whole point. 

491
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,200
That we are eternally secure, 
not because we deserve it, we 

492
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,100
are eternally secure because 
Jesus Christ prayed that it 

493
00:30:47,100 --> 00:30:50,600
would be. 
So, and I got a problem with you

494
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,000
thinking that you can somehow 
override a prayer of Jesus by 

495
00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:00,200
your behavior. 
I'm thankful that Jesus preed. 

496
00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:04,000
Those that the father has given 
him would be preserved by the 

497
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,100
father's power and by the sun's 
position. 

498
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,300
We also see this. 
Will be preserved from the 

499
00:31:12,300 --> 00:31:15,000
prince of this world. 
Look at verse 15. 

500
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,800
Verse 15. 
My prayer is not that you take 

501
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,700
them out of the world. 
That's what the charismatic 

502
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:24,700
wants. 
They won't live to be peachy and

503
00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:28,900
Rosie chipper all the time. 
So in this life Jesus said, 

504
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:31,100
you'll have all kinds of 
troubles. 

505
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,600
It's going to be that way. 
He's not going to take us out of

506
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,200
the troubles just for the sake 
of taking us out of the troubles

507
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,800
until it is. 
His appointed time what he's 

508
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,400
going to do is he's going to 
receive Glory through our 

509
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,900
suffering. 
He's going to receive Glory. 

510
00:31:44,900 --> 00:31:48,000
Through our trials, he's going 
to receive Glory through our 

511
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,500
pain just as the father of 
receive Glory through the pain 

512
00:31:50,500 --> 00:31:52,500
and the trials and sufferings of
Christ. 

513
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,500
Oh what shoes we get to fill 
isn't that amazing? 

514
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,500
He says I'm going to ask that 
you take them out of the world 

515
00:32:01,300 --> 00:32:04,800
but you protect them from the 
evil one, protect them from the 

516
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,200
evil one, The Prince and the 
power of this world. 

517
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:12,300
Satan, Jesus is praying right 
here for the protection of his 

518
00:32:12,300 --> 00:32:18,100
own from the enemy. 
Boy, don't we need this prayer? 

519
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,400
Doesn't it seem as we look 
around in the society and the 

520
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,400
culture that we live in that 
Satan is just running rampant in

521
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,800
our culture. 
Aren't you thankful that? 

522
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,800
Because of the prayer of Jesus, 
he's not running rampant in your

523
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,400
life. 
He's not destroying your home, 

524
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,700
he's not destroying your family.
He's not taking away your 

525
00:32:36,700 --> 00:32:38,400
salvation. 
He can't do those things. 

526
00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:41,800
You're secure in Christ. 
Okay. 

527
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,500
Need to see view. 
Yes, he tries all the day long, 

528
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:46,500
doesn't he? 
But he has no power in 

529
00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:49,400
comparison to the power of 
Christ when we dressed in that 

530
00:32:49,900 --> 00:32:53,200
he dressed in the protection 
from the prince of this world. 

531
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,200
In fact, Romans chapter 8, Paul 
says this, in verse 37, no, in 

532
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,500
all things, we are more than 
conquerors. 

533
00:32:58,500 --> 00:32:59,900
How many things? 
All thing? 

534
00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:03,300
It all things we are more than 
conquerors through him who loved

535
00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:07,700
us for, I am convinced. 
That's what Paul's convinced up.

536
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:13,400
That neither death nor life 
Christ, Our Hope and life 

537
00:33:13,500 --> 00:33:17,900
deaths. 
We just saying Neither death, 

538
00:33:17,900 --> 00:33:20,800
nor life, neither angels, nor 
demons. 

539
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,400
Neither the present, nor the 
future, nor any powers neither 

540
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,600
height, nor depth nor anything 
else in all creation will be 

541
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,000
able to separate us. 
Who's the us there? 

542
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:35,700
The True Believer is own. 
Nothing will be able to separate

543
00:33:35,700 --> 00:33:38,500
us from the love of God. 
That is in Christ Jesus. 

544
00:33:38,500 --> 00:33:42,200
Our lord, not even the evil one 
Satan himself. 

545
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,900
Why? 
You got it all figured out. 

546
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:49,000
Is your here on Sunday morning 
at your Bible open, reading it 

547
00:33:49,900 --> 00:33:52,800
because you went to enrich and 
get a little deeper Bible study.

548
00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:58,100
Or is it because Jesus prayed 
that it would be, so I'll go 

549
00:33:58,108 --> 00:34:00,100
ahead and answer it for you. 
It's because Jesus prayed that 

550
00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:04,200
it would be so that we would be 
preserved and protected from the

551
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,200
prince of this world from Satan 
himself. 

552
00:34:06,300 --> 00:34:09,699
I'll remember when you were lost
and undone and without Christ, 

553
00:34:09,699 --> 00:34:12,300
and Satan would just wreak havoc
upon your line. 

554
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,300
But now that you are in Christ, 
you can take the word of God and

555
00:34:16,300 --> 00:34:18,600
you can apply it to your own 
life. 

556
00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:22,199
You can see the words of James 
where he says, humble yourself 

557
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:26,600
resist the devil and he will 
flee He has no power over your 

558
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,100
life, why? 
Because you were more than a 

559
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:31,500
conqueror in every situation 
because of Christ, Jesus. 

560
00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:34,900
That's a promise that he has 
given us through a prayer that 

561
00:34:34,900 --> 00:34:40,100
he prayed in John, chapter 17. 
We see this is a prayer of 

562
00:34:40,100 --> 00:34:42,600
intercessory in regard to 
security. 

563
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,199
This was a prayer of security 
and preservation of his own. 

564
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,500
Each of us here in Christ, we 
were preserved because of Christ

565
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,000
and his prayer here that we are 
seeing this morning were 

566
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,000
preserved by God. 
The father has requested by 

567
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,300
Christ, the son confirmed by the
indwelling holy spirit that 

568
00:35:01,300 --> 00:35:07,400
lives in each of us confirming. 
Guaranteeing that we have a 

569
00:35:07,408 --> 00:35:13,100
redemption in store for us in an
inheritance in store for us for 

570
00:35:13,100 --> 00:35:16,900
all eternity just as the word of
God promises. 

571
00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:19,400
What a picture of the Triune 
godhead. 

572
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:24,300
Completing the work in 
accordance with the prayer of 

573
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:26,700
Jesus. 
In John chapter 17, he said 

574
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:28,500
father protect them, preserve 
them. 

575
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,000
The father done. 
Protect them by your name, 

576
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,600
protect them by my name. 
And then he sends his 

577
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,600
indwelling, holy spirit to live 
in us to show us and his prayer 

578
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:46,300
was answered on thankful for the
holy spirit this morning and my 

579
00:35:46,300 --> 00:35:48,900
life who confirms over and over 
and over again. 

580
00:35:49,900 --> 00:35:55,400
It doesn't matter what I feel. 
What matters is what I am 

581
00:35:55,900 --> 00:35:59,000
according to the word of God. 
And I am a born-again 

582
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:05,700
blood-bought redeemed, adopted 
child of the most high God 

583
00:36:05,700 --> 00:36:09,900
through Jesus Christ. 
Our Lord, he gives us great 

584
00:36:09,900 --> 00:36:14,900
security and this prayer as he 
prays that his followers would 

585
00:36:14,900 --> 00:36:18,800
be protected and preserved. 
And then, in the last couple of 

586
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:23,300
verses, I want you to see this 
This is also an intercessory 

587
00:36:23,300 --> 00:36:27,100
prayer. 
For sanctification for 

588
00:36:27,100 --> 00:36:33,800
sanctification sanctification. 
For his own 417, says this 

589
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,300
sanctify them who his own? 
He still talking about those, 

590
00:36:38,300 --> 00:36:41,800
the father has given him 
sanctify them by thy truth. 

591
00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:47,100
Your word is truth as you sent 
me into the world. 

592
00:36:47,100 --> 00:36:49,700
I have sent them into the world 
for them. 

593
00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:56,600
I sanctify myself that they too 
may be truly Sanctified Jesus. 

594
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,500
Praying that his followers would
be distinctly set apart. 

595
00:37:00,500 --> 00:37:03,400
That's what, Sanctification 
means it means that you are set 

596
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,300
apart. 
They would be set apart from the

597
00:37:06,300 --> 00:37:09,900
wicked unbelieving world that 
they live in. 

598
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,300
Then he goes on to praise 
specifically how they would be 

599
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:22,900
set apart. 
He says sanctify them by truth. 

600
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,400
Set them apart. 
My truth. 

601
00:37:29,900 --> 00:37:33,900
And then he says she word is 
truth. 

602
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,400
How is the Believers set? 
Apart from the world through the

603
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,400
word? 
He says sanctify them by the 

604
00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:47,500
word because that's truth again,
Sanctified being specifically, 

605
00:37:47,500 --> 00:37:53,200
set apart for God and His glory 
and his gospel through obedience

606
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,900
in Christ. 
It's the word that sets us 

607
00:37:55,900 --> 00:37:57,700
apart. 
It's the word that makes us 

608
00:37:57,700 --> 00:38:00,200
different. 
It is the word that finds us 

609
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,100
like fire. 
It is the word that changes us 

610
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:06,500
from the inside out. 
It is the word that renews our 

611
00:38:06,500 --> 00:38:10,900
minds daily. 
If you're not being transformed 

612
00:38:10,900 --> 00:38:15,200
by God's word, there is a good 
chance that you're not being 

613
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:20,700
Sanctified because you are not 
Sanctified and if you're not 

614
00:38:20,700 --> 00:38:25,200
being Sanctified, there's a good
chance that you're not truly 

615
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,600
saved. 
Is the one that hurts my 

616
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,000
feelings? 
I'm not here to hurt your 

617
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,000
feelings. 
I'm here to cause you to examine

618
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:37,200
your life. 
Are you being set apart by the 

619
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,900
word of God? 
The pastor you don't understand.

620
00:38:40,900 --> 00:38:43,200
I just don't have time and I 
just really don't have interest 

621
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,600
in the Bible therein my friend, 
lies your problem. 

622
00:38:49,300 --> 00:38:51,300
You're not set apart from the 
world because you don't have 

623
00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:53,700
time for the word of God. 
And I take issue with a person 

624
00:38:53,700 --> 00:38:57,100
who calls himself a Christian 
who does not have a hunger for 

625
00:38:57,100 --> 00:39:02,500
the word of God. 
He said sanctify them by the 

626
00:39:02,508 --> 00:39:03,400
truth. 
Your word. 

627
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,600
It's true. 
We can learn so much from the 

628
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:13,700
psalmist on this issue. 
Psalm 119 verse 9 says this how 

629
00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:15,400
can a young man keep his way 
pure? 

630
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,600
How can a young man keep his 
way, pure all in this day and 

631
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:20,900
time? 
How can an old man keep his way 

632
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:24,600
pure? 
How can a young man keep his way

633
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:29,400
pure watch this by living? 
According to your word here, you

634
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,400
can go ahead. 
And you can reverse that By 

635
00:39:32,408 --> 00:39:35,700
living according to your word, a
young man, keep his way pure, 

636
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:38,100
but if he doesn't live according
to your word, he's not going to 

637
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:42,000
keep his way pure. 
Verse 10 says, I seek you with 

638
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,700
all my heart. 
Do not. 

639
00:39:43,700 --> 00:39:46,400
Let me stray from your commands.
Think the psalmist loves the 

640
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:47,700
word of God. 
Don't, let me stray from your 

641
00:39:47,700 --> 00:39:50,400
commands. 
He's got a hunger for the word. 

642
00:39:50,500 --> 00:39:53,000
He says, in verse 11, I've 
hidden your word in my heart. 

643
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,500
Why? 
So that I can be smart and do a 

644
00:39:54,508 --> 00:39:55,300
lot of things. 
No. 

645
00:39:55,300 --> 00:39:58,100
Watch as I've hidden your word 
in my heart, that I might not 

646
00:39:58,100 --> 00:40:01,500
sin against you. 
It's all misunderstood 

647
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:05,800
sanctification by the word. 
Verse 12, says, praise be to 

648
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,400
You. 
O, Lord, teach me your decrees 

649
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,000
with my lips. 
I recount all the laws that come

650
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,400
from your mouth. 
I rejoice in following your 

651
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,900
statutes as one, rejoices, and 
great riches. 

652
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,300
I meditate on your precepts and 
consider your ways. 

653
00:40:18,300 --> 00:40:22,500
I Delight in your decrees, I 
will not neglect your word. 

654
00:40:22,500 --> 00:40:24,600
Why did he not want to neglect 
his work? 

655
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:29,000
He knew that the word is truth, 
and that the word is the key to 

656
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,200
True sanctification. 
Why? 

657
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:37,100
Because Jesus prayed it in John,
chapter 17, Word is truth. 

658
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,900
We are to be set apart by that 
true Force. 

659
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:49,300
Peter. 1:22 says, now that you 
have purified yourselves by 

660
00:40:49,300 --> 00:40:52,100
obeying the truth, so that you 
have sincere love for your 

661
00:40:52,100 --> 00:40:53,600
brothers. 
Love one, another deeply from 

662
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,900
the heart for you. 
Have been born again, not of 

663
00:40:55,900 --> 00:40:58,600
perishable seed. 
But of in perishable through the

664
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:03,300
living and enduring word of God,
watch what he continues to say 

665
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,800
for all men like grass are like 
grass and all their glory is 

666
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,700
like the flowers of the field. 
The grass withers. 

667
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,000
The flowers fall but the word of
the Lord stands forever. 

668
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,200
He quotes from The Prophet 
there. 

669
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,900
And he goes on to say this and 
this is the word that was 

670
00:41:15,900 --> 00:41:18,400
preached to you and you usually 
stop there because you think 

671
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,500
it's the end of a chapter but 
keep reading because there's 

672
00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:24,200
more in Chapter 2. 
Therefore therefore what? 

673
00:41:25,100 --> 00:41:28,300
Therefore, because he has given 
us the living and enduring word 

674
00:41:28,300 --> 00:41:30,900
of God that has redeemed us, 
watch what he says, next. 

675
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,900
Therefore, rid yourself of all 
malice and all deceit, 

676
00:41:33,900 --> 00:41:37,100
hypocrisy, envy and slander of 
every kind like newborn babies 

677
00:41:37,100 --> 00:41:39,100
crave, pure spiritual milk. 
Milk. 

678
00:41:39,100 --> 00:41:42,300
So that by it you may grow up in
your salvation. 

679
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:48,300
Now that you have tasted that 
the Lord is good, I dare you get

680
00:41:48,300 --> 00:41:53,100
in his word and taste and see 
how good the Lord is and watch 

681
00:41:53,100 --> 00:41:56,600
when you do how he grows you up.
Spiritually. 

682
00:41:58,500 --> 00:42:03,700
This is word that sets us apart 
of his, his word that sanctifies

683
00:42:03,700 --> 00:42:06,700
us. 
The true disciple of Christ will

684
00:42:06,700 --> 00:42:12,700
be set apart by the word. 
In fact, Ephesians chapter 5, 

685
00:42:12,700 --> 00:42:16,000
talks of the church being Washed
by the Water through the word. 

686
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,400
When he's talking about the 
husband-and-wife relationship in

687
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,700
regard to the relationship of 
Christ and his church, it is the

688
00:42:22,700 --> 00:42:28,000
word that sanctifies us and 
cleanses us and sets us apart 

689
00:42:28,100 --> 00:42:30,400
the True Believer, hungers for 
the word, the True Believer 

690
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,200
wants to sit under the preaching
of the word. 

691
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,000
The True Believer wants to join 
a Bible study the truth Ever 

692
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,800
wants to join a research group. 
The True Believer wants to be 

693
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,200
discipled. 
He wants to learn, she wants to 

694
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,100
learn. 
Growth is something they desire.

695
00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:45,800
Why? 
Because Jesus prayed it in John,

696
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:50,200
chapter 17. 
That the father would sanctify 

697
00:42:50,300 --> 00:42:55,700
the True Believers by his word. 
If you're indifferent toward the

698
00:42:55,700 --> 00:42:57,800
word of God, you have no 
interest in the word of God. 

699
00:42:59,500 --> 00:43:00,900
It's not that. 
I doubt your salvation. 

700
00:43:00,900 --> 00:43:05,300
It's that you should. 
You should. 

701
00:43:06,700 --> 00:43:08,800
You should really test yourself 
and say, wait a second. 

702
00:43:09,900 --> 00:43:11,600
I have no desire for the word of
God. 

703
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,900
And Jesus prayed at his own 
would be Sanctified by truth. 

704
00:43:15,900 --> 00:43:18,900
I can't be Sanctified by truth, 
which is the word if I have no 

705
00:43:18,900 --> 00:43:22,600
desire for the word. 
Perhaps you have no desire for 

706
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,700
the word because you don't truly
know Christ. 

707
00:43:24,700 --> 00:43:28,100
I would encourage you to repent 
and turn to Christ today. 

708
00:43:28,100 --> 00:43:30,500
Cry out to him to rescue your 
wretched soul. 

709
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,300
You would be saved and that you 
would be Sanctified. 

710
00:43:34,300 --> 00:43:37,500
We're Sanctified by the word as 
Jesus praise here. 

711
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,200
But he also praised that through
the word at sanctifying them, 

712
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,300
that they would be Sanctified, 
not just by the word, but 

713
00:43:45,300 --> 00:43:51,200
Sanctified from the world 
Sanctified from the world. 

714
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,100
It's interesting here. 
The same word that brings 

715
00:43:55,100 --> 00:43:58,800
persecution to the believer. 
Jesus is talking here and he 

716
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,400
says that they hate you because 
of my word. 

717
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,600
That same word that brings 
persecution to the believer, 

718
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,600
will also bring protection to 
the believer. 

719
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:13,800
The world is going to hate you 
because you stand in the world 

720
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,200
word over and over and over 
again. 

721
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,600
We see that in scripture. 
Let me give you a warning. 

722
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:25,800
If the Believers Are hated by 
the unbelievers. 

723
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,700
Because the unbelievers hate the
word of God. 

724
00:44:34,500 --> 00:44:37,700
It's according to scripture, he 
said that is what is going to 

725
00:44:37,700 --> 00:44:39,200
happen. 
Jesus even told his disciples. 

726
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,500
Remember the hated me first? 
Why do they hate cry? 

727
00:44:42,500 --> 00:44:44,000
So much? 
The word that came from his 

728
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:49,400
mouth. 
The truth, wh the truth Jesus 

729
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:54,000
praying here, that we would as 
Believers be Sanctified by the 

730
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,700
word. 
So that we will be Sanctified 

731
00:44:58,300 --> 00:45:04,600
from the world set apart. 
Wholly different. 

732
00:45:06,700 --> 00:45:09,300
Knowledge and submission to 
God's word in the life of a 

733
00:45:09,300 --> 00:45:13,100
believer. 
Is what should and will 

734
00:45:13,300 --> 00:45:18,200
distinguish us from this lost 
and sinful world. 

735
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:27,900
If you look just like the world,
if you act just like the world, 

736
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,900
if you talk just like the world,
you use their same language you 

737
00:45:32,900 --> 00:45:35,500
and take the same substances 
that they enjoy. 

738
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:46,500
You've not yet been set apart 
from the World by the word. 

739
00:45:47,100 --> 00:45:49,600
You have a spiritual issue here 
and I would say work out your 

740
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,400
salvation with fear and 
trembling see if you truly do 

741
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:58,300
know Christ, Because I believe 
this, I believe that Christ 

742
00:45:58,300 --> 00:46:02,600
prayer didn't fail here. 
Some of you call yourselves a 

743
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,600
Believer, you think Christ's 
prayer fell because you're not 

744
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,300
Sanctified by the word. 
You're not Sanctified from the 

745
00:46:09,300 --> 00:46:12,000
world and you think somehow 
Christ's prayer failed. 

746
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,000
It didn't Remember who he's 
praying for. 

747
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,400
He's praying for the True 
Believer so we can come to this 

748
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,100
conclusion. 
The True Believer will be 

749
00:46:23,100 --> 00:46:28,400
Sanctified set apart by the word
and the True Believer will be 

750
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,400
Sanctified and set apart from 
the world. 

751
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:37,100
The apostles agree with this. 
In fact, they teach it, they 

752
00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:40,400
lived it and we are to be 
Sanctified from the world. 

753
00:46:40,500 --> 00:46:42,300
Second Corinthians chapter 6, 
The Apostle. 

754
00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:46,200
Paul in this discourse, watch 
what he says, verse 14 do now 

755
00:46:46,300 --> 00:46:49,200
Not be yoked together with 
unbelievers. 

756
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:50,800
Who are the unbelievers the 
world? 

757
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:55,300
It is a synonymous term. 
For what do righteousness and 

758
00:46:55,300 --> 00:46:59,000
wickedness have in common? 
Or what Fellowship can light 

759
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,700
have with Darkness. 
What Harmony is there between 

760
00:47:01,700 --> 00:47:04,400
Christ and Belial? 
What does a Believer have in 

761
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,800
common with an unbeliever? 
What agreement is there between 

762
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,900
the temple of God and Idols for 
we are the Temple of the Living.

763
00:47:09,900 --> 00:47:12,100
God, I told you a moment ago, 
the True Believer has the 

764
00:47:12,100 --> 00:47:14,200
indwelling, Holy Spirit living 
in them. 

765
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,200
They are the temple of God. 
He's saying what is the true 

766
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,600
temple of God have in common 
with all of this wickedness from

767
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,900
the world? 
As God has said, I will live 

768
00:47:23,900 --> 00:47:26,600
with them and walk among them, 
and I will be their God and they

769
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,800
will be my people watch. 
What verse 17 says, pay 

770
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,200
attention. 
When you see a therefore in 

771
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,100
scripture of everything that you
read, just before that, he says,

772
00:47:34,100 --> 00:47:38,200
therefore come out from them who
the unbelievers the world, 

773
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:43,500
therefore come out from them and
be separate says the Lord. 

774
00:47:46,700 --> 00:47:51,900
Sanctification is not optional 
for the True Believer and 

775
00:47:51,900 --> 00:47:56,100
follower of Christ. 
Sanctification is evidence that 

776
00:47:56,100 --> 00:48:00,700
you are a True Believer. 
You will be Sanctified by the 

777
00:48:00,700 --> 00:48:04,500
word and you will be Sanctified 
set apart from the world. 

778
00:48:04,500 --> 00:48:07,800
Why? 
Because Jesus prayed that his 

779
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:12,100
own would, now we can come to 
this conclusion, if you're not, 

780
00:48:12,900 --> 00:48:16,200
it could be. 
That is because you are not his 

781
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:20,100
his own. 
You look like the world and you 

782
00:48:20,100 --> 00:48:23,600
act like the world and you talk 
like the world, you do as the 

783
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:29,800
world does. say, whatever you 
want to say, you're the world. 

784
00:48:30,900 --> 00:48:37,000
Stop being foolish. 
If you don't look different from

785
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:42,100
the world. 
Because of God's word, you are 

786
00:48:42,100 --> 00:48:46,900
not Sanctified, you cannot 
continue in friendship with the 

787
00:48:46,900 --> 00:48:51,600
world and think that you have an
intimate communion with God, 

788
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,400
friendship with the world. 
According to what James wrote is

789
00:48:54,500 --> 00:48:59,800
emnity toward God, John said, 
this John said you can't love 

790
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,700
the world. 
And love the father that if you 

791
00:49:02,700 --> 00:49:06,800
love the world, the love of the 
father is not in you. 

792
00:49:07,900 --> 00:49:11,400
I have preached this for years 
and I have not made many friends

793
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:15,400
because of it and I am thankful 
that I'm not here to make 

794
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,000
friends, but I am here to Make 
Disciples of Christ. 

795
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:24,100
A disciple of Christ cannot hold
onto the world with their left 

796
00:49:24,100 --> 00:49:27,200
hand and hold onto Christ with 
their right hand and think that 

797
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,000
this is the biblical Christ that
they are holding onto. 

798
00:49:30,100 --> 00:49:34,600
This is a make-believe 
non-biblical non-Christian 

799
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:38,300
Christ. 
Because the True Believer as 

800
00:49:38,300 --> 00:49:43,900
Christ Just prayed. 
Will be Sanctified by the word 

801
00:49:44,700 --> 00:49:49,500
and Sanctified set apart from 
the world. 

802
00:49:49,500 --> 00:49:53,900
There will be a distinct 
difference, he is marking his 

803
00:49:53,900 --> 00:49:58,400
own out, and he is separating 
them, even at this moment. 

804
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:03,900
If there's never been a change 
in your life, You have not yet 

805
00:50:03,900 --> 00:50:06,900
been born again. 
For if you are in Christ, you 

806
00:50:06,900 --> 00:50:11,400
are a new creation. 
I don't think that the word can 

807
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,300
be erased and changed to fit 
your life. 

808
00:50:15,300 --> 00:50:18,700
Are you a new creation? 
He said sanctify them by the 

809
00:50:18,700 --> 00:50:22,000
truth. 
Your word is truth and then he 

810
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:27,200
prayed that they would be 
Sanctified from this world The 

811
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,500
world that does and looks and 
speaks and acts. 

812
00:50:29,500 --> 00:50:32,800
Contrary to the word of God. 
He says you're going to be 

813
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,300
different than that. 
Can I ask you just a common 

814
00:50:35,300 --> 00:50:37,100
sense question while we're on 
that subject? 

815
00:50:38,300 --> 00:50:43,500
Why would Jesus save you just so
you can be what you've always 

816
00:50:43,500 --> 00:50:47,200
been? 
Wouldn't that be a pointless 

817
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:51,900
death when that be for nothing? 
But, you know, that's not what 

818
00:50:51,900 --> 00:50:53,500
scripture? 
Teaches scripture teaches that 

819
00:50:53,500 --> 00:50:57,700
Jesus died. 
So, that you could be changed 

820
00:50:57,700 --> 00:51:00,600
and transformed so that the Lost
World could see that 

821
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,800
transformation. 
And know that God has done a 

822
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,900
work in your life, that brings 
us to the next part, 

823
00:51:07,900 --> 00:51:12,200
sanctification here. 
He's praying for sanctification 

824
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,900
that we would be Sanctified by 
the word is Sanctified from the 

825
00:51:14,900 --> 00:51:21,100
world and then Sanctified to 
reach the world Sanctified in 

826
00:51:21,100 --> 00:51:23,900
order to effectively reach the 
world. 

827
00:51:23,900 --> 00:51:28,200
With the gospel, we're set apart
by the word set apart from the 

828
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:33,700
world so that the world will see
that we are different. 

829
00:51:33,700 --> 00:51:42,000
Something different about us if 
you look, And talk and act just 

830
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:46,600
like the rest of your coworkers.
And claimed to have Christ. 

831
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,500
They see no need for Christ. 
Well that's just pure basic 

832
00:51:51,500 --> 00:51:54,900
Common Sense, isn't it? 
But did you know the True 

833
00:51:54,900 --> 00:51:58,100
Believer who is set apart by the
word and set apart from the 

834
00:51:58,100 --> 00:51:59,900
world? 
Scripture tells us that the 

835
00:51:59,900 --> 00:52:03,800
world will inquire of the hope 
that we have in Christ. 

836
00:52:04,700 --> 00:52:07,500
They're going to see when that 
situation comes in our life that

837
00:52:07,500 --> 00:52:09,700
they would be moaning and 
groaning complaining and 

838
00:52:09,700 --> 00:52:13,600
cussing. 
Swearing about That in our life,

839
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,100
we handled it completely 
different. 

840
00:52:15,100 --> 00:52:16,300
Why? 
Because we handle it, according 

841
00:52:16,300 --> 00:52:18,700
to the word why we've been set 
apart by the word. 

842
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,500
We handle it opposite of how the
world would handle it. 

843
00:52:21,508 --> 00:52:23,400
They'll take note of that 
they're going to come to you and

844
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,600
there and some of you have 
walked with Christ long enough 

845
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,300
to know that this is true. 
They're going to come to you and

846
00:52:29,300 --> 00:52:30,700
they're going to say, why did 
you handle that? 

847
00:52:30,700 --> 00:52:32,200
That way. 
That's not how I would have 

848
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:33,400
handled it. 
What's going on? 

849
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,600
I knew you before and you 
wouldn't have always handled it 

850
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,700
that way. 
Then there you can declare to 

851
00:52:40,700 --> 00:52:42,400
them. 
The reason that I handle it this

852
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:46,500
way is because I now belong to 
Jesus Christ. 

853
00:52:46,500 --> 00:52:49,900
He has saved me. 
Yes, changed me is done a work 

854
00:52:49,900 --> 00:52:52,600
in my life. 
I am no longer the creature that

855
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,500
I used to be full of sin and 
full of self. 

856
00:52:55,500 --> 00:52:58,200
I have been redeemed. 
I have been set apart and 

857
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,000
Sanctified for the glory of God 
in any good. 

858
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,800
You see in me, that is Christ. 
Give him all the credit that he 

859
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,500
deserves. 
And share the gospel with them 

860
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:11,400
that they might believe. 
Sanctified to reach the world. 

861
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,100
Why is it important that we hear
this prayer of Jesus? 

862
00:53:14,100 --> 00:53:20,700
He prayed at his own, Would be 
people of the word and people 

863
00:53:20,700 --> 00:53:25,300
opposite of the world. 
So that through them and the 

864
00:53:25,300 --> 00:53:29,400
message of Christ that they 
preached, he could then continue

865
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,900
to draw others out of the world.
Isn't that the way that he 

866
00:53:32,900 --> 00:53:35,000
designed it to work? 
How will they know less the 

867
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,900
preacher tell them and how can a
preacher be effective if he's 

868
00:53:38,900 --> 00:53:43,700
just like them? 
All of you say, well praise the 

869
00:53:43,700 --> 00:53:46,400
Lord, I'm not called to preach. 
You're all called to preach the 

870
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,300
gospel. 
Just because you don't stand in 

871
00:53:49,308 --> 00:53:51,600
the pulpit and preach, it 
doesn't mean that you're not 

872
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,800
called to preach the gospel. 
You were called to tell everyone

873
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,600
with every breath that you have 
the Glorious. 

874
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,900
Good news of Jesus Christ. 
He's offering here prayer of 

875
00:54:00,900 --> 00:54:04,700
sanctification that they would 
be Sanctified by the word 

876
00:54:04,700 --> 00:54:08,900
Sanctified from the world and 
Sanctified to reach this Lost 

877
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,200
World. 
What a beautiful prayer we see 

878
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:20,600
here in John's gospel, You know 
that as Jesus was just ours. 

879
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:27,600
Away from the cross. 
His mind at this place was not 

880
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:31,800
on what he had to endure. 
He was praying that his own 

881
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:37,500
would be saved secured and 
Sanctified saved, secured and 

882
00:54:37,500 --> 00:54:39,300
Sanctified in. 
Aren't you thankful that? 

883
00:54:39,300 --> 00:54:45,700
That's what he does in the lives
of those who are truly, his The 

884
00:54:45,700 --> 00:54:49,800
prayer of Jesus. 
Didn't go on answer. 

885
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:52,900
Aren't you thankful for that 
this morning? 

886
00:54:54,900 --> 00:54:56,800
I'm thankful in my life at the 
prayer of Jesus. 

887
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:02,100
Didn't go unanswered. 
That in eternity past, the 

888
00:55:02,100 --> 00:55:07,100
father gave me to the Sun and he
made sure that I was saved 

889
00:55:07,100 --> 00:55:15,200
secured and sanctified. 
Jesus prayers. 

890
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:18,500
Didn't go on answer. 
Let's close with this a true 

891
00:55:18,500 --> 00:55:21,500
disciple. 
A true disciple. 

892
00:55:21,500 --> 00:55:25,700
Will. 
They will know the father and 

893
00:55:25,700 --> 00:55:29,000
the son, intimately through the 
communion, that Jesus died for 

894
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,600
the believer to have, that's his
prayer that they would be saved.

895
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,100
That they would experience that 
true communion you have this in 

896
00:55:35,107 --> 00:55:38,100
your life. 
Do you have communion with the 

897
00:55:38,100 --> 00:55:40,600
father and with the son? 
Do you have that deep 

898
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,100
fellowship? 
If you're a Believer here today,

899
00:55:42,300 --> 00:55:44,200
I'm not telling you something 
that you don't know anything 

900
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:45,900
about. 
You know, you can testify. 

901
00:55:45,900 --> 00:55:48,000
Yes, I do have that. 
You can sing. 

902
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,900
As the old hymn says Andy walks 
with me, and he talks with me 

903
00:55:50,900 --> 00:55:54,600
along, life's narrow way. 
Yes, I have that communion with 

904
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:59,100
him because of Christ. 
Do you have that this morning? 

905
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,100
Have you truly surrender to 
Jesus as your lord and savior? 

906
00:56:03,100 --> 00:56:06,600
Are you one of the ones here 
that he's talking about who were

907
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,800
truly his? 
Have you surrendered by faith to

908
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:14,800
Jesus as Lord and Savior as your
only hope of forgiveness and 

909
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,100
eternal life? 
Are you trusting in his cross as

910
00:56:18,100 --> 00:56:20,600
the thing that cleanses you from
your wickedness? 

911
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:25,400
Are you still lost in your sin? 
Are you still of this world? 

912
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,000
If you are, he wasn't praying 
for you here. 

913
00:56:28,900 --> 00:56:32,900
I'm praying for you now. 
I'm praying to God now that he 

914
00:56:32,900 --> 00:56:35,900
would graciously open your eyes 
that you would see your need for

915
00:56:35,900 --> 00:56:38,900
Christ and that he would 
graciously save you this very 

916
00:56:38,900 --> 00:56:44,000
morning. 
Raps, you are in Christ. 

917
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:52,800
No, this a true disciple will be
secured forever. because of the 

918
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,400
preservation that Jesus prayed 
for right here in John, chapter 

919
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,300
17, Well, good news. 
We have there. 

920
00:56:59,100 --> 00:57:01,300
Why am I preserved forever? 
Is it? 

921
00:57:01,300 --> 00:57:03,500
Because I'm good now and I get 
it. 

922
00:57:03,500 --> 00:57:05,800
All right. 
No, in my flesh. 

923
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:07,700
I'm still as rotten as I've ever
been. 

924
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:13,200
I am preserved by the goodness 
of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

925
00:57:13,500 --> 00:57:16,500
By the power of the Father, by 
the position of the sun proven 

926
00:57:16,500 --> 00:57:19,900
by the indwelling, Holy Spirit 
who lives in me until that day, 

927
00:57:19,900 --> 00:57:23,400
that I longed for where I'm 
glorified and redeemed eternally

928
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:27,400
because of Jesus Christ in the 
price that he paid on my behalf 

929
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:31,200
on the tree of calvary. 
Be secure in that believer. 

930
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:34,900
Rest in that. 
Walking Insurance. 

931
00:57:35,100 --> 00:57:39,800
Always that Christ prayed in 
John chapter 17. 

932
00:57:40,900 --> 00:57:44,100
For his own. 
And if you're his own, you will 

933
00:57:44,100 --> 00:57:48,500
be secure forever. 
I make no apologies for that. 

934
00:57:48,900 --> 00:57:52,900
A person who wants to believe in
a doctrine that contradicts that

935
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,200
believes that Jesus didn't know 
how to pray. 

936
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,800
I'm here to tell you today. 
Jesus knew exactly how to pray 

937
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,800
because he knew this guy would 
mess it up if I could. 

938
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:07,100
And he prayed that I wouldn't 
And I can't. 

939
00:58:09,100 --> 00:58:12,700
True disciple. 
We'll find security in Christ 

940
00:58:12,700 --> 00:58:14,500
and Christ Alone. 
In the sprayer that we've seen 

941
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:19,300
today. 
A true disciple will be 

942
00:58:19,300 --> 00:58:24,100
Sanctified by the word. 
Is the word sanctifying you? 

943
00:58:25,100 --> 00:58:29,000
Is it changing you? 
How do you leave men's bible 

944
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:33,000
study on Thursday night? 
Challenged and changed. 

945
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:37,200
By what you hear motivated to 
share the gospel motivated to 

946
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:40,900
live a life that brings God 
glory pretty leaving in 

947
00:58:40,900 --> 00:58:45,400
different. 
An apathetic attitude. 

948
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:50,500
A True Believer. 
He's going to be Sanctified 

949
00:58:50,500 --> 00:58:53,300
through the word and they're 
going to love his word, just as 

950
00:58:53,300 --> 00:58:58,100
the psalmist in Psalm 119. 
Ramada, Tate it on it. 

951
00:58:59,300 --> 00:59:06,300
Day and night. 
Are you being Sanctified is God,

952
00:59:06,300 --> 00:59:09,500
setting you apart? 
For his glory. 

953
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:14,000
And for his gospel will be 
encouraged today by the prayer 

954
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:15,500
of Jesus. 
If you were a Believer here 

955
00:59:15,500 --> 00:59:18,800
today, Because you're not a 
Believer here today. 

956
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,200
I pray that God would graciously
save you. 

957
00:59:24,300 --> 00:59:29,100
As you cry out to him this hour.
as you cry out to him, the only 

958
00:59:29,100 --> 00:59:33,500
one Who can rescue center from 
hell and judgment. 

959
00:59:33,700 --> 00:59:35,500
Let's pray together. 
Father, in the name of Jesus, we

960
00:59:35,500 --> 00:59:40,200
thank you for your word. 
Lord. 

961
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:44,300
How beautiful are your words to 
us who are in Christ? 

962
00:59:48,300 --> 00:59:53,400
To see your heart. 
For your own. 

963
00:59:55,300 --> 00:59:59,000
Causes me to worship and adore, 
you even all the more. 

964
01:00:00,500 --> 01:00:04,500
Thank you for being gracious and
compassionate savior. 

965
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,900
God, I pray for those who are 
not saved in the in our midst, 

966
01:00:08,900 --> 01:00:12,200
Even This Moment. 
God, I pray that you would be 

967
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,300
gracious to them and save them 
today. 

968
01:00:15,300 --> 01:00:18,400
Draw them out of Darkness into 
your Marvelous Light. 

969
01:00:19,300 --> 01:00:22,200
Regenerating them to the power 
of your holy spirit, that they 

970
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:28,000
would believe forsaking, all sin
and self and turning to you 

971
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:32,100
Lord, Jesus as Lord and savior 
of their life today. 

972
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:36,400
But your will be done as we 
yield to your Holy Spirit now in

973
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,700
Jesus name. 
Amen.
