1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:01,500
Wonderful. 
Wonderful. 

2
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:04,600
Thank you Freya. 
It's so good here in all that's 

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:05,800
happened. 
The life of church. 

4
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,500
Can I just encourage you? 
You know, the restore course is 

5
00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:12,200
just an amazing opportunity if 
there is some stuff going on in 

6
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,000
your life. 
If you need restoration, then 

7
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:18,700
I'd encourage you to think about
signing up more information is 

8
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:22,800
on our website as far as said, 
sign up to close this coming 

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,500
Friday. 
So get on there. 

10
00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:26,100
I think there are a few more 
places left. 

11
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:27,600
So do. 
So the thing. 

12
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,700
I want to mention as well is 
connect groups. 

13
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:33,700
You know, we are a very large 
church and connect groups are so

14
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:35,800
important to do life with each 
other. 

15
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,400
You know, judge is not just 
about Sunday's it. 

16
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:42,500
It's about fellowship and doing 
life together with fellow 

17
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:43,800
Believers. 
And so, if you're not going to 

18
00:00:43,808 --> 00:00:46,100
connect group, can I encourage 
you to get into one? 

19
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,500
You can find out more 
information on our website. 

20
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:52,400
The Vineyard Church of credit, 
UK forward slash connect. 

21
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:54,500
All right. 
Well, we're going to continue. 

22
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:59,200
We've been in our summer series 
and essentially our summer 

23
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,800
series is It doesn't have a 
theme as such we just give it. 

24
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,300
Leave it to the preachers to 
bring whatever they feel led of 

25
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:08,800
the Lord to bring. 
And I launched this a couple of 

26
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,400
weeks ago, looking at the story 
of the woman at the well, and 

27
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,900
the invitation that Jesus gives 
to each one of us and what that 

28
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:18,400
means for us. 
And then last week, Jenna 

29
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:21,600
continue to theme actually, the 
richest started a couple of 

30
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,000
weeks ago, which was been in 
that weight in place. 

31
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,900
Who knows? 
That waiting is hard hands up. 

32
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:29,300
Yeah. 
Okay, it's not just me. 

33
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:33,300
And especially, you know, 
waiting for a promise of God and

34
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:36,000
Jenna did an amazing job just 
unpacking that for us and 

35
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,200
encourage us how we can wait. 
Well, and how we can press in in

36
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,800
that time. 
So if you missed that talk or 

37
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,800
any of our talks, you can get 
them on our mobile phone app, 

38
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:47,500
but equally on our website, The 
Vineyard Church to Kodiak a 

39
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:50,300
forward slash talks. 
So what am I going to talk about

40
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:52,100
this morning? 
What I really want to pick up a 

41
00:01:52,108 --> 00:01:56,000
topic or a theme that Jenna 
introduced before her talk. 

42
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,900
Actually, she came up and said, 
you know before I talk I really 

43
00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:01,500
felt the Lord. 
Once me just mention about 

44
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:05,200
freedom and interestingly enough
that's been a theme of our of 

45
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,900
our worship time, hasn't it? 
Just experiencing that freedom 

46
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:09,900
of God. 
And Jenna said, you know, 

47
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:14,300
Freedom days has the much-lauded
Freedom Day is now upon us, but 

48
00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:17,900
for some of us, we might feel a 
little bit deflated, you know, 

49
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,300
am I really free, you know, the 
virus is still out there and 

50
00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:25,400
and, you know, I still feel that
I'm restricted and she just felt

51
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,100
those saying. 
Listen, the Lord is saying that 

52
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:28,300
you are free. 
Indeed. 

53
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:33,000
You are free in me. 
And you know, I really felt the 

54
00:02:33,008 --> 00:02:35,800
breath of the Lord on that and 
then this previous week. 

55
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,300
I spoke to two very Godly 
people. 

56
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,100
Had an opportunity to meet with 
and pray with very mature people

57
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:46,200
in the Lord, and both of them as
we pray together, met them 

58
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,400
separately talked about the 
freedom of the Lord, and the, 

59
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,200
and the joy. 
And we talked about Joy earlier 

60
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,800
that the that freedom brings and
I was very blessed that they 

61
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,200
prayed for me, and they prayed 
into that for me. 

62
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,600
And, you know, I just got the 
sense from the Lord, the Lord 

63
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,900
saying To speak on freedom. 
I want you to speak on freedom 

64
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:05,700
and that's what we're going to 
look at actually over the the 

65
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:07,600
next two weeks. 
This is part 1. 

66
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,600
Part 2, I'm going to be doing 
that. 

67
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:12,700
You'll be pleased to hear that 
over the course of the summer 

68
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:14,000
series. 
We got some other amazing 

69
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,100
speakers lined up. 
We got our wonderful. 

70
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:19,400
Chris Lane are found in past 
that we speaking. 

71
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,100
We've got Wendy Heusen, looking 
forward to her speaking as well.

72
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:27,500
We've got Chris Birch Evans who 
leads step, some of you may 

73
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:30,400
know, he is a member here at 
church as well. 

74
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,900
He'll be all be speaking. 
So we got some really exciting 

75
00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:35,100
speakers coming up. 
But for the next two weeks, I 

76
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:40,600
want to focus on the question of
freedom and I've had this song 

77
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,800
going around in my head. 
For those of you that were in 

78
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,900
church during the early 90s, you
might remember this one. 

79
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:49,700
It goes like this. 
It was for Freedom that Christ 

80
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:54,500
has set us free. 
No longer to be subject to a 

81
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:57,400
yoke of slavery, anyone. 
Yeah. 

82
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,900
There you go. 
And I think the core is Jesus 

83
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:05,300
Denton to do. 
We celebrate your Victory. 

84
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,200
What are you gotta love those 
early 90s? 

85
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,000
Chains, everything you really, 
really good, but that's been 

86
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,300
going around and around, and 
around in my head and that that 

87
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:15,800
verse is actually taken straight
out of lifted. 

88
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,800
Straight out of Galatians, 
chapter 5 verse 1. 

89
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,300
And we're going to look at that 
together, but I think before we 

90
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:26,100
do that, I want us to ask the 
question. 

91
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:28,400
What does freedom really looked 
like? 

92
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:31,100
What is it actually? 
Really mean, I mean as 

93
00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:32,600
Christians, we often say that 
don't worry. 

94
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,900
We're free in Christ. 
We are free indeed, or you can 

95
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:37,700
be free, but do we really know 
what we're talking about? 

96
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:42,600
And so I want to do a bit of a 
deep dive on what Freedom truly 

97
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,900
is. 
And then I want to look at the 

98
00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:46,000
question of. 
Okay. 

99
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,300
So what has Jesus set us free 
from then. 

100
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:52,300
And then lastly, we could look 
at how can we walk in this 

101
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:54,900
Freedom? 
Those are the three things we're

102
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:56,400
going to look at. 
Now. 

103
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,800
I'm gonna ask you a question. 
Now. 

104
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,000
Here is a question. 
You don't have to answer it, 

105
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,600
answer in your head. 
What do you want to be free 

106
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:12,000
from? 
What is it in your life that you

107
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,300
want to be free from have a 
think about that? 

108
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:25,400
Let me pray, Lord, as we spend 
the next two weeks, looking at 

109
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,000
the freedom that you provide for
us. 

110
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:31,600
I pray that this would be two 
weeks of complete breakthrough 

111
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:39,100
for us. 
Lord I pray each one of us who 

112
00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:41,800
are in the room or at home or 
watching it catch up. 

113
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:45,400
That you would speak to our 
hearts. 

114
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:55,000
And that your truth would set us
free and I declare it now that 

115
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,600
this is a season of freedom and 
a breakthrough. 

116
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,200
I declare it. 
Now the truth of God that we can

117
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:06,200
be free and free indeed. 
I say no more bondage. 

118
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,600
No more shackles in the name of 
Jesus. 

119
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:12,800
I declare those habitual sins 
that have been ravaging, you 

120
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,100
will be broken in Jesus name. 
I pray the fear that has 

121
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:18,100
blighted. 
You would be broken off you. 

122
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:21,300
In Jesus name. 
I pray the health concerns that 

123
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:23,900
have been going around and 
around and around would be 

124
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:26,500
broken off you. 
In Jesus name. 

125
00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:30,200
I pray for the guilt that has 
held you back would be broken 

126
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,100
off you. 
In Jesus name, I pray for the 

127
00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:37,600
shame that you Been under would 
be broken off for you. 

128
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:41,500
In Jesus name. 
I pray for the lie that you have

129
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:45,000
to perform for people's love 
would be broken off you, in 

130
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,200
Jesus name. 
I declare that. 

131
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,100
This is a place of freedom. 
In the name of Jesus. 

132
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:54,500
I speak freedom and life and I 
can see the Holy Spirit moving 

133
00:06:54,500 --> 00:06:56,000
over to you. 
Some of you right now. 

134
00:06:59,300 --> 00:07:03,700
Come Holy Spirit. 
I'm happy to ditch all these 

135
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:07,600
words, if it means a staying and
being here as a the Lord 

136
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:15,200
ministers to us, Come Holy 
Spirit. listen, engage Don't let

137
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:22,100
cynicism stop you. 
Don't think about what you're 

138
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:23,800
eating for lunch tempting 
though. 

139
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:29,900
That is. 
Come Holy Spirit, what is it 

140
00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:32,500
that you want to be free from 
now? 

141
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,700
Take that put it in your hand 
and your mind's eye and drop it 

142
00:07:36,708 --> 00:07:39,600
at the foot of the cross? 
Come Lord Jesus. 

143
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:42,600
Come Lord, Jesus. 
Set us free. 

144
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:49,300
And so we thank you, Lord, that 
this is a season of freedom. 

145
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:51,700
I thank you, Lord, that there 
will be breakthrough. 

146
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:55,300
I declare that now in Your Name,
Lord open our eyes, and our 

147
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:59,500
ears, and we thank you that your
word, says that your your word. 

148
00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:03,400
What always bear fruit that it 
would accomplish that which is 

149
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,000
set forth to do. 
And we thank you for your 

150
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,100
promise in Jesus name and 
everyone said, amen. 

151
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:12,300
Amen, right? 
Okay. 

152
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:15,200
Let's ask the first question. 
What is freedom? 

153
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:19,700
It's a good question. 
Because in culture, freedom is 

154
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:22,100
often band around of course in 
this season very much. 

155
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:25,400
So freedom from restrictions 
freedom from not being able to 

156
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:31,300
do that, which I want to do. 
I mean, songs about Freedom that

157
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:34,299
famous George Michael song. 
Do not fear. 

158
00:08:34,299 --> 00:08:40,500
I'm not going to sing it. 
Don't don't encourage me. 

159
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:45,400
Seriously no enough, but freedom
is you know that songs all 

160
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,100
about. 
I want to be who I want to be. 

161
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,300
We have movies about Freedom. 
Do we not freedom from our 

162
00:08:51,300 --> 00:08:55,400
inhibitions freedom to be who I 
want to be Freedom From Slavery,

163
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,000
Freedom. 
What about Braveheart? 

164
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,700
Great movie, freedom. 
Well, that kind of stuff freedom

165
00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:06,100
is is is something that is just 
permeates all of us. 

166
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:07,600
And so let me ask you a 
question. 

167
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,300
When you think about Freedom. 
What do you think about maybe it

168
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:13,600
goes like this for some of you. 
This is sometimes how I think 

169
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,500
well, freedom is. 
I've got my beautiful wife here 

170
00:09:18,900 --> 00:09:21,600
and one of my children, Lucy, 
so, don't take this the wrong 

171
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,700
way. 
Freedom is I just wish I could 

172
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:28,600
have a peace and quiet. 
You feel the same? 

173
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:31,300
I'll Charming. 
You know, I often joke. 

174
00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:33,200
The only problem we locked down 
was, I had to spend it with 

175
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,300
other people. 
That's a bad joke, isn't it? 

176
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,300
But, you know, if only I was 
free and I had a big bank 

177
00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:43,100
balance. 
I would be free to do whatever I

178
00:09:43,108 --> 00:09:46,400
want. 
You know, if only I was free so 

179
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,800
that I didn't have to be 
accountable to somebody. 

180
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,000
I could do what I want. 
If only I was free, etc. 

181
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:52,900
Etc. 
Etc. 

182
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:55,200
Maybe that's how you think 
sometimes. 

183
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,600
Well, you know, we hear a story 
in the Bible, a parable indeed 

184
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,400
called The Prodigal Son, which 
is a perfect example of that 

185
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,700
kind of Freedom, isn't it? 
What did The Prodigal, Son 

186
00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:04,900
saying? 
You can find that story? 

187
00:10:04,900 --> 00:10:09,200
We're not going to read it now 
in Luke 15, Dad, I want to be 

188
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,000
free, give me my money now and I
could be free. 

189
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:15,600
So what does the dad do? 
Give him all the money? 

190
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,000
Okay, son. 
You want to be free. 

191
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,900
Go free. 
Let me ask the question. 

192
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:22,500
How did it go? 
Well, did it go? 

193
00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:24,900
Well for him? 
Was it free? 

194
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,100
Was he free while he comes to 
the end of that journey and 

195
00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:32,300
there were years with no money 
left and having pigswill for 

196
00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:34,700
dinner because he didn't have 
any more money left, and he 

197
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:37,500
thought, what am I doing? 
This isn't freedom. 

198
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,700
Freedom is being with my father 
and he gets up and he runs home 

199
00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:45,100
and even before he gets home. 
What a beautiful picture of Our 

200
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:47,800
Lord who loves us, no matter 
what and accepts us. 

201
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,400
No matter what. 
He's already halfway there and 

202
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,600
Embraces him come. 
I've got a banquet for. 

203
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,100
You. 
See, that's freedom. 

204
00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:01,500
And so what is freedom? 
You see. 

205
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:04,900
Freedom is not the right to do 
what we desire. 

206
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:08,200
Listen. 
It is the desire to do. 

207
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,900
What is right. 
Let me say this again. 

208
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:16,100
Freedom is not the right to do 
what we desire. 

209
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:20,100
It is the desire to do, what is 
right, put it another word. 

210
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,600
Freedom is living a life free of
the constraints and the shackles

211
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,600
of sin to be all that God has 
created us to be. 

212
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,200
That is freedom. 
And that is the picture that we 

213
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,200
see of Adam and Eve. 
Don't we before the fall, they 

214
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,800
were free. 
See, they didn't have the 

215
00:11:39,808 --> 00:11:44,000
constraints of sin that we that 
we have and you see the enemies 

216
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,200
lie. 
Then is the same to us. 

217
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,600
Now, which is this, you can be 
like God you can disobey God and

218
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,500
be free from the limitations 
that God has placed on you. 

219
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:58,300
You can know all things God is 
your limiting factor here. 

220
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
But it was a lie. 
It was a trap. 

221
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:05,900
And we actually find that when 
we move outside of God's best 

222
00:12:05,900 --> 00:12:08,800
for us rather than experience 
Freedom. 

223
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:14,200
We become slaves. 
How many of us in our own lives?

224
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,000
See that our behavior and 
attitudes are in large part 

225
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,300
based on the things that we feel
tied to and compelled by? 

226
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,400
I mean, let me give you some 
examples. 

227
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:26,900
I have a weakness when it comes 
to money. 

228
00:12:27,300 --> 00:12:29,600
I'm very fearful about lack. 
I've shared this with you 

229
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,400
before, when we looked at money 
and the treasure series and so 

230
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,600
because, you know, it says in 
the scriptures, you can't serve 

231
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,600
two Gods. 
You can't serve money and God 

232
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
and serving means anything that 
you put up on an idol new 

233
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,700
worship. 
You become in bondage to that. 

234
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:48,700
Which you worship. 
You know, that when you worship 

235
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:52,000
God, which will create do, you 
become free, but anything that 

236
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,800
you worship that tonight or you 
come in bondage to and I know 

237
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,100
that my my actions around money 
and my attitude are impacted by 

238
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:03,900
the fact that I have. 
I'm fearful about lack, or maybe

239
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,600
you act out of a position of 
guilt and you overcompensate and

240
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,300
you wear yourself out because 
you're so guilty that you didn't

241
00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:13,100
spend enough time with. 
So and so on. 

242
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:16,200
Maybe there's bitterness in you 
about a situation. 

243
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,300
Person. 
And because of that, you know, 

244
00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:21,000
that you're holding back love 
and compassion and forgiveness 

245
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,000
to someone. 
Now, you might be free to do 

246
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,200
what you desire. 
But are you truly free, you 

247
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,000
truly free? 
So, let's dive into this a 

248
00:13:30,008 --> 00:13:32,300
little bit more detail as we as 
we carry on. 

249
00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:36,100
Then if true Freedom, then is 
not about doing whatever we want

250
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:40,100
to do, but true freedom is being
all that God created us to be 

251
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,000
and to desire. 
What is right? 

252
00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:44,700
What has therefore Jesus set us 
free from? 

253
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,700
Is that a fair question. 
Are you following me just nod. 

254
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,600
Thank you. 
First thing, I'm gonna give us 

255
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,800
three things. 
The first thing is this Jesus 

256
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,600
has set us free from the law. 
Now. 

257
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,300
This is really important. 
This is really important and we 

258
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:06,200
can read it in Romans and 
Galatians and whatever about 

259
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,100
that. 
We are free from the law. 

260
00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:09,600
But if we're honest, do we 
really know what that means. 

261
00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:12,500
Because we need to understand 
what that means. 

262
00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:15,100
There's a reason that Paul went 
to Great Lengths to explain 

263
00:14:15,100 --> 00:14:16,900
this. 
And, and, you know, you might be

264
00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:18,500
thinking what you're going to go
really deep in this. 

265
00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:20,900
Yes. 
I am because there comes a point

266
00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:23,700
where we need to meet. 
There comes a point where we too

267
00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:26,000
need to meet because it's going 
to Bear much fruit. 

268
00:14:26,300 --> 00:14:28,800
So let's look at Galatians 5:1 
then because this is where I'm 

269
00:14:28,808 --> 00:14:31,000
going to jump off from turn to 
in your Bible. 

270
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,100
If you have it, otherwise would 
be on the screen. 

271
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,300
And for you at home. 
It will be on your screen. 

272
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,600
It says this and it's under the 
section. 

273
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,400
It says in my Bible. 
I am reading the ESV Christ has 

274
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,400
set us free. 
It says it's for Freedom Christ 

275
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:50,200
has set us free stand firm. 
Therefore, and do not submit 

276
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:55,300
again to a yoke of slavery. 
What an earth is Paul talking 

277
00:14:55,300 --> 00:15:02,700
about Christ has set us free. 
Do not submit again to a yoke of

278
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:04,000
slavery. 
What does that mean? 

279
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:10,100
Well, To put it another way. 
Before we accepted Christ. 

280
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:13,400
We were under a yoke of slavery.
We were wheel that was our 

281
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,700
position. 
And if you haven't accepted 

282
00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:19,100
Jesus as your savior, that you 
are in that position right now. 

283
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,400
Now, what did yolk a yoke is not
the thing you get in an egg? 

284
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,200
Although, that is a yoke. 
What it's talking about here. 

285
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,400
Is that beam that went across to
animals, maybe a couple of oxen 

286
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,200
were used to constrain them to 
go down a particular path and to

287
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,500
for to There was an external 
force on them to act in a 

288
00:15:37,508 --> 00:15:40,300
particular way, and they were 
yoked with the other oxen. 

289
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,700
And in the Bible often a yoke is
used in the context of being 

290
00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:48,100
yoked to slavery. 
Like it would the Jews that are 

291
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:51,800
in Egypt and you see what Paul 
is saying here? 

292
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,900
Is that the old Covenant? 
What's that before Jesus came? 

293
00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:58,200
The coven of the law of Moses 
was a yoke. 

294
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,500
It was a yoke of slavery. 
Mark. 

295
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:03,200
Are you saying that God's law 
was bad? 

296
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,300
No. 
I'm not saying that. 

297
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:06,600
But in the old Covenant, the 
law. 

298
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,200
You see was a structure. 
It was like a Yo, which required

299
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,000
full adherence to fulfill the 
requirements of the law? 

300
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,800
But here was the problem without
a change in the heart without 

301
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,200
being freed from the sinful 
desires. 

302
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,500
It was always going to be 
impossible to achieve the Law's 

303
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,000
requirements. 
Are you following me so far? 

304
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:35,200
Now you might say to me. 
Okay, Mark if that's the, if 

305
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,900
that's the point. 
What was the point? 

306
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,500
Isn't that just rather crawl of 
God? 

307
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,600
No, you see? 
Because as the apostles point 

308
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,200
out in the New Testament, it 
pointed it to us. 

309
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,000
And showed us that we need a 
savior who could fulfill the law

310
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,900
on our behalf. 
It was always going to be 

311
00:16:55,900 --> 00:16:58,300
impossible for us to fulfill the
law. 

312
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:02,000
But there was one man, that 
fulfilled it for us and on bar 

313
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,400
behalf. 
Jesus. 

314
00:17:05,900 --> 00:17:10,000
And so, what that means is, when
we accept Jesus, we move from 

315
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000
being under the law and its 
requirements and therefore being

316
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:20,000
judged by those requirements. 
And we move to being under Jesus

317
00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:24,900
and being set free from the law.
And you might say, why is this 

318
00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:28,000
important mark? 
Because Paul says, this, as we 

319
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,600
continue in Galatians 5, and 
you'll get to your get to see 

320
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,400
why this is important in a 
moment. 

321
00:17:33,700 --> 00:17:36,600
He says, listen inverse to look 
like Say to you that if you 

322
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,700
accept circumcision, and he was 
speaking to the church here 

323
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:43,200
because there was a whole 
thought that came and said you 

324
00:17:43,208 --> 00:17:45,000
might have accepted Jesus, but 
you still need to be 

325
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,400
circumcised. 
You still need to do something. 

326
00:17:49,100 --> 00:17:52,000
And Paul is saying, listen, 
Christ will be of no advantage 

327
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,700
to you. 
If you go get circumcised. 

328
00:17:54,700 --> 00:17:58,600
What's the point I testify again
to every man who accepts 

329
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,600
circumcision that if you want to
do that you make that choice 

330
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,400
that you're going to be obliged 
under the law. 

331
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,900
To fulfill all the Law's 
requirements, if that's what you

332
00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:09,200
want to do. 
You are there for severed from 

333
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,300
Christ? 
I so what that means for us. 

334
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:17,600
This is where I want to get to 
is that we have been freed from 

335
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,100
performing and doing Works to be
saved. 

336
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,700
We are no longer under the law. 
We are set free. 

337
00:18:26,300 --> 00:18:29,800
And if actually, we realize that
this feeling that we need to 

338
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:35,100
perform to God, and for God, and
that our works are the things 

339
00:18:35,100 --> 00:18:40,200
that justify us in sight of God,
that lie that the enemy comes 

340
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,600
in. 
You see and says, well look at 

341
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:42,900
you. 
You're a terrible Christian. 

342
00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:46,900
Look at what you've just done. 
If we realize that we are set 

343
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:49,500
free from the law, and we're 
under Christ was saying, I'm not

344
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:51,500
going to listen to that. 
Jesus has forgiven me. 

345
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:56,000
So when we say we are free, the 
first thing we need to 

346
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000
understand is we are free from 
the law. 

347
00:18:59,300 --> 00:19:03,100
We are free from performance, 
and from works. 

348
00:19:03,300 --> 00:19:07,000
And when you realize that the 
enemy, all of a sudden, his 

349
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,200
arrows and his lies start 
falling away. 

350
00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:13,000
The one of the biggest issues. 
I find when I pass from speak to

351
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,000
people, is that there is an in 
there if you like for the 

352
00:19:16,008 --> 00:19:20,300
enemy's lies because they if you
like a still, sometimes walking 

353
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:24,400
back into a law and thinking 
that their works, Justify 

354
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,400
themselves in front of God. 
Now I am, I saying that works 

355
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,500
are unimportant. 
No works are a fruit as it says 

356
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:35,500
in James of our belief in Christ
as we walk closely with him. 

357
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:40,400
Those Works, come there are 
fruit, but we are not justified 

358
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,000
by the law. 
We are free from the law and 

359
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,400
that's such an important point. 
Okay, next one. 

360
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:52,700
We are set free from sin. 
Let's look at 1, John 1 19. 

361
00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:57,500
It says, this if we can set of 
confess our sins, he is faithful

362
00:19:57,500 --> 00:20:02,200
and just to forgive us our sins 
and to cleanse us from all 

363
00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:07,300
unrighteousness. 
Did you know that you are free 

364
00:20:07,300 --> 00:20:10,800
from your sins? 
Did you know that you have been 

365
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,500
cleansed from those, the sin 
that you have done and 

366
00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:16,400
committed? 
What does that mean? 

367
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,100
It means that you are free from 
the guilt. 

368
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:21,400
That comes when you've committed
sin. 

369
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,200
We've all sinned. 
Just means fallen short of the 

370
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,100
mark the target. 
We've all fallen on sure. 

371
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:31,300
We've all sinned. 
But what this means is that we 

372
00:20:31,300 --> 00:20:33,300
can be cleansed and forgiven 
from that. 

373
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,900
It means that you can be free 
from the bondage of the LIE. 

374
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,400
The God is going to look at you 
and think well, there are 

375
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,700
sinner. 
I don't love them. 

376
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:46,500
It means that you can be set 
free from the guilt that you 

377
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:48,600
might carry for some that you 
have once done. 

378
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,100
It means that you can be set 
free from the shame that you 

379
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:54,700
carry and the shame. 
Or the happens is you just get 

380
00:20:54,700 --> 00:20:58,300
back into sin again because you 
just move further and further 

381
00:20:58,300 --> 00:21:02,000
away from God, but you're set 
free from that limitation 

382
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:05,200
because Jesus is blood has 
cleansed us from all 

383
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,900
righteousness. 
But here's the good news, you 

384
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:12,100
see? 
Being free of sin is more than 

385
00:21:12,100 --> 00:21:17,400
just been forgiven for it. 
It is being free from it and the

386
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:23,500
effects of it. 
Being free from sin means that 

387
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:32,700
we can be free from it. 
This is a really interesting and

388
00:21:32,700 --> 00:21:37,500
difficult topic how we can be 
free from sin from committing 

389
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:42,000
sin continually and habitually 
and it's a very interesting 

390
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,400
topic and a difficult one when 
we talk about how we can be free

391
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,600
from the effects of sin such as 
you know, the things that we all

392
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,500
experience. 
And so what we're going to do 

393
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:55,300
next week Steph and I are going 
to lead this and we're going to 

394
00:21:55,300 --> 00:21:59,100
have a conversation about how we
can be free from sin. 

395
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,700
And you know, this is a place 
where we need to be real. 

396
00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:05,600
You know, God doesn't say that 
we're going to be free from 

397
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,500
Life, trials and troubles. 
But he does say we can 

398
00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:13,400
experience the freedom that 
comes from knowing him that we 

399
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,300
can experience healing. 
We can experience joy in spite 

400
00:22:16,300 --> 00:22:20,700
of our circumstances and that 
warrants much more time that I 

401
00:22:20,700 --> 00:22:23,000
have this morning. 
And so, next week, in part 2, 

402
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,000
I'm going to, we're going to 
unpack that in a bit more 

403
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,700
detail, how we can be free from 
sin and the effects of sin. 

404
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,600
But let me just say right now as
a taster, you know, I've 

405
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,700
experienced it in my own life 
that those habitual sins. 

406
00:22:37,300 --> 00:22:41,900
You can be set free from. 
How as you walk in his truth? 

407
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,100
And did you spend time with him?
You find that as his Spirit 

408
00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:49,300
Works in you that desire to sin 
Falls away over time. 

409
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,100
That offer is there for us, but 
we need to make a choice to 

410
00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:56,300
number one, realize that's the 
case. 

411
00:22:56,300 --> 00:23:01,900
And number two to take hold of 
that promise and walk in it and 

412
00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:05,600
for some of you, you might be in
habitual sin as it relates to 

413
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,100
pornography. 
You might be an habitual sin as 

414
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:12,200
it relates to drunkenness. 
You might be in a habitual sin 

415
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,200
as it relates to gossip and be 
whatever it might be. 

416
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,000
And you might say, Mark, you're 
telling me about this, but I had

417
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,600
tried. 
And I have tried, and I have 

418
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,900
tried and it hasn't worked. 
I understand. 

419
00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:28,500
But we take God's word for truth
that says we can be free. 

420
00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:33,200
And I know in my own life and my
own experience that if we if we 

421
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,900
number one, say God, I accept 
your truth that you said I can 

422
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:40,500
be free and say but I can't do 
this on my own. 

423
00:23:41,300 --> 00:23:45,300
Would you help me by your grace 
as you press in every day to God

424
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,600
and make wise decisions and seek
Him? 

425
00:23:47,700 --> 00:23:51,400
You can be set free. 
And that is the freedom that God

426
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,200
promises and we're going to have
some Ministry time in a moment. 

427
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,900
We're going to allow the law 
just to come and minister to us.

428
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,900
But as I said next week, we're 
going to spend more time on that

429
00:23:59,900 --> 00:24:04,900
subject on how we can be free 
from sin and from the effects of

430
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:09,000
sin, but lastly, as I bring this
plane into land because in some 

431
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:15,000
ways, this is a bit of a very 
broad subject, and I'm only got 

432
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,000
a few minutes on each one of 
these and he, you might want to 

433
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,900
do some more research yourself 
and dig in. 

434
00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:22,800
Should I study and dig into the 
word for yourself? 

435
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,700
But the last one is this. 
We are set free from death. 

436
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,700
Whoa, now you're getting really 
heavy mark. 

437
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,300
I got the law bit. 
Just I got this in peace. 

438
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:36,500
I'm excited about that, but 
death. 

439
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,200
You know, we are all born into a
fallen world. 

440
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,500
Are we not and into what we 
call, a sin nature? 

441
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,600
You know, sin came through one 
man, Adam, but life comes 

442
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,400
through the second atom, which 
is called Christ as it says in 

443
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,300
Romans. 
And so, in many ways, when we 

444
00:24:56,300 --> 00:24:58,200
are born, we are born into a 
death sentence. 

445
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,900
What does that? 
That's Eternal separation from 

446
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:03,300
God. 
That's what sin in us has done. 

447
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,800
You know, we're not before we 
know Jesus. 

448
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,000
We're not Sinners because we're 
sin, we sin, because we are 

449
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,200
sinners. 
We are born into a sin nature. 

450
00:25:15,300 --> 00:25:18,400
But the promise of God is that 
we do not need to experience the

451
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,600
penalty of that sin. 
Why? 

452
00:25:20,700 --> 00:25:27,200
Because Jesus took it for us. 
The reality of Hell, let me just

453
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,300
say bless you is as real as the 
reality of heaven. 

454
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,200
And can I just say that's good 
news? 

455
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,000
Because it means Heaven is a 
real place and Jesus has paid 

456
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,200
the price that you can get 
there. 

457
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,700
You don't need to pay the 
penalty of sin. 

458
00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:42,300
Here's the thing. 
I want to tell you right now. 

459
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:44,700
There will come a point where we
will all be judged. 

460
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,700
It's not a question of whether 
we will be judge. 

461
00:25:47,700 --> 00:25:50,000
It's a question of how you will 
be judged. 

462
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:52,500
If you say, well, I don't accept
Jesus. 

463
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:53,900
That's fine. 
But you're going to be judged 

464
00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:56,100
under the law. 
And you'll be fine wanting 

465
00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:58,700
because none of us can fulfill 
the law. 

466
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,800
But if you say, you know, what? 
I accept Jesus, you'll be 

467
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,700
judged. 
By Jesus and through him, you 

468
00:26:07,708 --> 00:26:10,600
know, when you get to those 
pearly gates and the Apostle 

469
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,400
Paul, they say this, I don't 
think it's not in the Bible. 

470
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,300
So, you know, whatever. 
He's at the Pearly Gates and 

471
00:26:15,300 --> 00:26:18,100
this is how you're going to get 
in so well because I've done 

472
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:20,300
this that and so and I've done 
good and I've been a good 

473
00:26:20,300 --> 00:26:22,900
person. 
I'm sorry, that's not good 

474
00:26:22,900 --> 00:26:25,400
enough. 
You haven't fulfilled. 

475
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,800
The Law's requirements because 
God is a holy God. 

476
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,300
But if we say, yeah, because 
Jesus died for me. 

477
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,300
His blood was shed for me to 
cleanse me, and he fulfilled the

478
00:26:34,300 --> 00:26:39,400
law on my behalf. 
And you come that officer is 

479
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,300
here for everyone of us. 
And this is the most beautiful 

480
00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:45,800
thing about the gospel. 
What is the gospel? 

481
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,100
The good news? 
You do not need to do anything 

482
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:53,200
to earn salvation. 
Whew? 

483
00:26:54,300 --> 00:26:58,600
Every other religion listen, is 
a religion of works. 

484
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,100
You have to be better. 
You have to perform better. 

485
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,800
And when you get to a certain 
point by your works, then you 

486
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,000
might get in Christianity is the
only religion that says it's by 

487
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,700
grace and it's a free gift. 
All you got to do is believe in 

488
00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:16,400
Jesus and that's it. 
I don't know about you, but that

489
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,900
is total freedom freedom from 
feeling. 

490
00:27:19,900 --> 00:27:24,400
Like I have to work for my 
salvation, that is good news at 

491
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,100
the world. 
Right now needs to hear as we're

492
00:27:27,100 --> 00:27:29,200
talking about death and we 
talked about it, and it's 

493
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,600
serious and we talk about people
that died, you know, there is an

494
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,400
eternal perspective on this. 
And the reality is we have a 

495
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,100
choice daily. 
Every moment every second about 

496
00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:42,600
where we're going to spend 
eternity. 

497
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,300
And the good news is that we can
be free from the death penalty 

498
00:27:47,500 --> 00:27:52,200
because Jesus died on the cross 
for each one of us, and I don't 

499
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,700
know about you. 
But if that isn't good news, I 

500
00:27:53,708 --> 00:27:56,700
don't know what is Yeah, there's
a whip. 

501
00:27:56,700 --> 00:27:59,400
Thank you. 
Can I invite you all to stand 

502
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,400
and I want to get the band up 
and what I'm going to try and do

503
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,800
is just bring some of these 
threads together as we just 

504
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,200
allow the Lord to minister to us
and I recognize that some of 

505
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,100
this stuff might feel heavy. 
I get that and some of this 

506
00:28:13,100 --> 00:28:15,200
stuff might feel a bit deep. 
I recognize that. 

507
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,300
But listen guys, they're cut. 
There are moments in our lives 

508
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:22,100
and Seasons where God presents 
some really deep truth to us 

509
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:26,500
because he wants us to walk in 
true Freedom, not superficial 

510
00:28:26,500 --> 00:28:30,200
Freedom, which is So in our 
circumstances, and how we feel, 

511
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,900
but a true Freedom that protects
us from our circumstances, our 

512
00:28:33,900 --> 00:28:35,600
freedom. 
That means that we can sleep in 

513
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,200
the boat as Jesus did. 
Amongst the storm that is H 

514
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,300
promise that God has given us. 
That we can have the joy of the 

515
00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:44,000
Lord. 
In spite of the difficulties 

516
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,900
around us, that we can set be 
set free from the guilt and the 

517
00:28:47,900 --> 00:28:50,700
shame. 
And the sin that entangles us, 

518
00:28:51,100 --> 00:28:54,200
that brings us down. 
And I believe, as I said at the 

519
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,100
start of this message that this 
is a season of Shifting. 

520
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,100
This is a season. 
Of breakthrough. 

521
00:28:59,300 --> 00:29:02,700
And I believe that for many of 
you, you're going to see a 

522
00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:05,200
complete difference in your 
lives, over this next season. 

523
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:07,200
I believe that and I don't say 
this flippantly. 

524
00:29:08,100 --> 00:29:11,600
I say that by the unction of the
holy spirit in me and through 

525
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,500
me. 
Let us bow our heads as we just 

526
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:17,500
allow the Lord to minister from 
Holy Spirit. 

527
00:29:19,300 --> 00:29:21,500
And the first thing I want to do
is give an invitation. 

528
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,400
If you were here right now in 
this room or at home and you 

529
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,000
have yet to experience the 
freedom that Jesus has purchased

530
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,700
for you on the cross that 
freedom to be with him for 

531
00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:36,100
eternity. 
And you think, you know what, I 

532
00:29:36,100 --> 00:29:38,700
want to be with Jesus. 
I want to be set free. 

533
00:29:38,700 --> 00:29:42,400
Then with every head bowed and 
eyes closed. 

534
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,000
Can you just raise your hand 
where you are? 

535
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,600
Not going to ask you to say. 
Embarrassing, bless. 

536
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,200
You bless you. 
There's anybody else that has 

537
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,900
yet to say yes to Jesus and they
want to give their lives to him.

538
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,400
It's A hand bless you, bless 
you. 

539
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,900
If there's people online, you 
can raise your hand, the team 

540
00:29:57,900 --> 00:29:59,300
will come pray with you. 
Okay, you can put your hands 

541
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:00,100
down. 
Thank you. 

542
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:03,600
I'm going to pray a prayer. 
And then in your heart. 

543
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,300
Why don't you repeat after me? 
Lord Jesus. 

544
00:30:09,700 --> 00:30:13,200
If that we could all pray this 
out loud with it, doesn't 

545
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,400
matter. 
If you're already set free, 

546
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:16,200
you've set. 
You can pray this Brook game. 

547
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,800
So let's pray. 
This Lord Jesus. 

548
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:24,700
I just say yes to you and I 
thank you for the freedom, you 

549
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:32,100
purchase for me on the cross. 
I say, you are my Lord and my 

550
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:37,500
savior and I choose to walk in 
the freedom. 

551
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,800
That you have for me. 
In your precious name, would you

552
00:30:43,808 --> 00:30:49,100
just forgive me for my sins and 
wash me clean? 

553
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:56,400
As your righteousness is put 
upon me in your name are man. 

554
00:30:57,500 --> 00:30:58,100
Thank you. 
Lord. 

555
00:30:58,100 --> 00:31:00,800
If you just prayed that prayer 
at the end of this service, 

556
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,000
might the ministry team. 
My right, your left would love 

557
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,400
to pray with you. 
Let me just pray as we worship. 

558
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,100
Lord. 
We thank you that you are doing 

559
00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:11,400
a deep thing in us. 
We thank you for the Salvation 

560
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:12,800
that have just happened this 
morning. 

561
00:31:13,300 --> 00:31:17,500
The people have walked from 
Darkness into light and I pray 

562
00:31:17,500 --> 00:31:20,100
Lord that Holy Spirit as we 
worship you now. 

563
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,100
You would come and do a deep 
thing in our hearts. 

564
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,200
That we would leave this place 
in breakthrough. 

565
00:31:26,900 --> 00:31:30,000
Come, Holy Spirit as we worship.
I pray in your precious name.
