A great deception. 9 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,160 Let's lock in. Let's focus. 10 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:43,280 It's the fourth quarter, Just a few minutes left. 11 00:00:53,180 --> 00:00:55,060 What I'm about to read. You guys don't need to go to the 12 00:00:55,060 --> 00:00:56,740 next slide because this is not on there. 13 00:00:56,740 --> 00:01:02,540 I'm reading from Romans 7. As you listen, please take 14 00:01:02,540 --> 00:01:07,400 notes. But as you're taking notes, 15 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,760 don't just merely write down everything I'm saying. 16 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,240 Like have your pen ready to hear what the Holy Spirit wants to 17 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,160 say on the back of what I'm saying. 18 00:01:22,790 --> 00:01:31,030 Can't say you have my attention, but I'm not prepared to pin. 19 00:01:31,870 --> 00:01:36,270 Can you imagine Moses going in the mountain like I ain't 20 00:01:36,270 --> 00:01:43,240 writing nothing down? Imagine any of the apostles or I 21 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:49,040 ain't writing them down? This rich word that we get was 22 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,720 written by the Holy Spirit. Do you think that those notes 23 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,600 you got to take notes like you're writing for the next 24 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,760 generation? And if all you can leave them is 25 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:09,199 the binder and there's no more Bibles, but they inherit your 26 00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:11,320 notes, what would you leave them? 27 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,000 You got to write with clarity like your little niece, like 28 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,040 your little your future children. 29 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,080 Like what would it look like for you to one day when your 30 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,200 children get of age? You don't even have kids. 31 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,400 But I'm trying to get you to think like the Hall of Faith 32 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,240 did. Think about your children that 33 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,920 are coming into this world that you're praying for, correct. 34 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,680 OK. And then think about one day you 35 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:40,280 going to sit on their lap, say 25 years from now, 30 years from 36 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,320 now, you're going to sit on your lap or y'all going to sit on the 37 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,600 couch and you're going to pull, you know, people have photo 38 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,440 albums from back in the day and you're going to pull out all 39 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,680 these notes. You're going to sit down and be 40 00:02:53,680 --> 00:03:00,600 like, man, 30 years ago I remember that message, you know, 41 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,440 because the word transcends. So the word that's preached 42 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,760 today is for sure going to be relevant in another season. 43 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:20,080 Take take notes like 5 generations is dependent on you. 44 00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:32,910 You shouldn't have any trouble understanding this, friends, for 45 00:03:33,150 --> 00:03:37,110 you know all the ends and outs of the law. 46 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,680 How it works and how it's power touches only the living. 47 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,320 Check it out for for instance, a wife is legally tied to her 48 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,920 husband while he lives, but if he dies, she's free. 49 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,200 If she lives with another man while her husband is living, 50 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:03,640 she's obviously an adulteress, but if he dies, she is quite 51 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,840 free to marry another man in good. 52 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,880 Conscience don't get no ideas, ladies. 53 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,720 With no one's disapproval. So my friends, this is something 54 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,360 like what has taken place with us. 55 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:24,880 When Christ died, he took that entire rule dominated way of 56 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:32,200 life down with him and left it in the tomb, leaving his bride 57 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:38,240 free to marry. A resurrection life and bear 58 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:46,040 offsprings of faith for God. For for as long as we lived the 59 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:51,880 old way of life, doing whatever we felt we could get away with, 60 00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:59,360 sin was calling most of the shots as the old law code hemmed 61 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,680 us in. Let's make this relevant to 62 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,600 today. Anybody in here that lives how 63 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,160 they want to, you need the 10 commandments. 64 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:16,600 You are a believer that is still living under the law and not 65 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:22,400 grace. So your life is dictated by do's 66 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:33,000 and don'ts, not by freedom. The freest life you can live is 67 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:39,040 the life in Christ following the Word of God, walking in his 68 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,160 love, living by faith and not by sight. 69 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,440 And I'm not worried about cheating. 70 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,560 I'm not worried about stealing, Right? 71 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,200 You see what I'm saying? The sin is your sin conscious. 72 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,080 So you're living like I'm always waking up trying not to sin. 73 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:02,520 I'm always waking up, try to fight temptation, but but that's 74 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,080 not freedom. You need the law because you 75 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,400 need something to tell you it's wrong in order not to do it. 76 00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:16,440 So can you be saved and drink? Can you be saved and still 77 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,120 smoke? How can I have? 78 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,840 Well, I can have sex outside of marriage with the person I plan 79 00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:29,480 on marrying. You're as a believer. 80 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,720 I'm constantly trying to figure out how I can be saved and get 81 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:40,440 away with carnal nature. Therefore, I'm not really living 82 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:46,400 out my salvation. I am living by the law that 83 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,600 Jesus did away with. So I could never get to know 84 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,400 Christ until I divorce law. Am I talking to anybody this 85 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,640 morning? And this is the this is one of 86 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:04,600 the main entry ways for deception because by by by your 87 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,240 choosing not to live in God's freedom, here it is. 88 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,080 You automatically are double minded. 89 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,720 So the Bible says if you're double minded, I don't care what 90 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,040 you pray for. You can't think it's going to be 91 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,040 answered or you're going to walk in the blessing because you're 92 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:26,800 double. Here it is. 93 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,000 You're double minded in all your ways. 94 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,520 Wake her up. You're double minded in all your 95 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,520 ways. And if you're double minded in 96 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,760 all your ways, your prime real estate for deception because 97 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:45,280 this why you came here from God. Is it me or is it the Spirit? 98 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,560 Is it my desires or is it God's desires? 99 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,560 Is this my will? And now we live in this life and 100 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:59,440 I'm here to tell you, like I said, if you want all got to be 101 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:09,680 all in goes on, no. This is so good. 102 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,640 So, so let me get this out the way because I I got to say this 103 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,800 for myself. We got two more experiences 104 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,520 after this. OK y'all don't got a double dip? 105 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,000 Triple dip? You ain't got a dip at all. 106 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,440 You can. After service you could dip 107 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,240 whatever you want to. Do OK, but what I am going to 108 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,840 ask this church is this week, this week. 109 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:35,679 Listen to all three experiences. Make sure we record tonight. 110 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,640 Because I have to. This is the last Sunday that I 111 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,960 could deal with this. Then we have the Christmas 112 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,960 production messages and then there's one more Sunday and I 113 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,480 can't promise we're going to have our last Sunday on 114 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,040 deception. I don't know what it's going to 115 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,320 be. So today I am trying to get 116 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:58,560 through all 90 slides. OK, I at least need to get 117 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:00,840 through 60 because the other 30 is where we started. 118 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:10,000 OK but pray for your boy. But I need but but but the flow. 119 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,560 Of this is going to be based on, yeah, Holy Spirit #1 but also at 120 00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:15,360 the end of the day, what you got to understand what I'm 121 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,200 delivering to you are already got. 122 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,200 So I don't need to waste my time on you not wanting to receive 123 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,480 it, right? So the flow of this is based on 124 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,200 your, your, your posture, your engagement, right? 125 00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:33,080 Let me tell you, if you fall asleep, I'm not preaching to 126 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,360 you, OK? You missing it. 127 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,480 The enemy don't even got to try hard to steal the word from you. 128 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:42,120 You just here you go. OK, And y'all don't sit on the 129 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,120 front row If you if you that sleepy, OK? 130 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,320 I don't care if you're 95, you 95 sleeping like you 95. 131 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,920 I get it. You got an excuse to fall 132 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,960 asleep, but but do it in the in the tent because I'm I'm waking 133 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,960 up all so all I'm I'm waking up everybody. 134 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,040 No Holy Spirit here. OK, Make up. 135 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:10,480 All right. Hallelujah for OK y'all with me 136 00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:19,000 offspring faith of God, for as long as we live that old way of 137 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,280 life doing whatever we. Felt there we go for as long as 138 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:27,800 we live that old way of life, doing whatever we felt we could 139 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,640 get away with, whatever we felt we can get away with. 140 00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:38,280 Sin was calling most of the shots as the old law code timmed 141 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:44,360 us in and this made us all more rebellious. 142 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:50,520 In the end, all we had to show for it was miscarriages and 143 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:56,400 stillbirths. Look at what the Lord blessed me 144 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,080 with you, oh the Lord blessed you in your no, no, no, no. 145 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,440 Let me. You worked hard for that. 146 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,280 You begged for it, you manipulated for it. 147 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,120 Yeah, yeah. You got some fruit out of that 148 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,200 relationship at the cost of compromising who you are. 149 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,960 So you took somebody talking to you a certain way that God don't 150 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,280 talk to you, right? So so and you giving birth to 151 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,800 stuff that eventually that it don't have no ability to stay. 152 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,960 Man, there's so much stuff that I obtained, so much stuff I did, 153 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,320 so many friends I had, and once I stepped into the new, new. 154 00:11:47,470 --> 00:11:51,390 In the end all had to show for it was miscarriages and still 155 00:11:51,390 --> 00:11:56,790 births, but now that we're no longer shackled to that 156 00:11:56,790 --> 00:11:59,350 domineering mates. Of sin. 157 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:08,920 And out from under all those oppressive regulations and fine 158 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:16,720 print, we're free to live a new life in the freedom of God. 159 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,760 But I but I can. But I can. 160 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:27,120 But I can hear you say, well, if the law code was as bad as all 161 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,600 that, it's no better than sin itself, that that's certainly 162 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,920 not true. The law code had a perfectly 163 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:42,520 legitimate function. Without the law or without it's 164 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:48,560 clear guidelines for right and wrong moral behavior would be 165 00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:52,680 mostly guesswork. You know as Christians how we 166 00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:56,840 play dumb now. It's no excuse because it's 167 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:03,840 written. You know what it says, you just 168 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:15,240 trying to find the workaround. Apart from the succinct surgical 169 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,600 command, you shall not covet. I could have dressed 170 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:25,640 covetousness up to look like a virtue and ruin my life with it. 171 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:32,360 Don't you remember how it was? I do perfectly well. 172 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:37,320 The law code started out as an excellent piece of work. 173 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,360 What happened, though, was that sin found a way to pervert the 174 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,160 command into a temptation, making a piece of forbidden 175 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:52,840 fruit out of it. The law code, instead of being 176 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,480 used to guide me, was used to seduce me. 177 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,920 Hey, don't eat from that tree. Oh, why not? 178 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,640 What's God trying to keep from me? 179 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,640 My friends ate from it. What am I missing out on? 180 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,720 Well, what do you mean they got married? 181 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,360 You're. Well, here's what we say to our 182 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,360 parents children. Well, y'all did it? 183 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,680 Yeah, stupid. We did it so you don't have to. 184 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,720 Don't be calling me stupid. Well, there you go. 185 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,280 That's the part that's the point. 186 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,920 Without, with with all without, without all the paraphernalia of 187 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,600 the law code. Sin look pretty dull and 188 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,720 lifeless. Like like like if I'm not living 189 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,800 the life of sin, I don't got no marks of sin. 190 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,280 Sin looks not fun. Sin looks fun because it has 191 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,920 this little fruit. Dangling got all of it. 192 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,280 Looks pretty boring, but once Sin got his hands on the law 193 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:06,360 code and decked itself out in all that finery, I was fooled 194 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,640 and fell for it. The very command that was 195 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:15,240 supposed to guide me into life was cleverly used to trick me 196 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:20,880 up, throwing me head long. So Sin was plenty alive, and I 197 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,800 was stone dead. But the law code itself. 198 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:32,760 Is God's good and common sense, each command sane, and his holy 199 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:41,920 counsel Chee goodbye. We must learn to live. 200 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,600 This is going to be a real good day. 201 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,080 It's going to be a such a good day. 202 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:51,320 We must learn to live in the tension of the garden. 203 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,960 In the garden. You ready? 204 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:14,240 The tree was not bad. It had the knowledge of good and 205 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:20,960 evil. What was in the tree had to put 206 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,840 had the potential to awaken something in us. 207 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:34,840 So why stay a virgin so that nature in you is not what 208 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,400 awakened? Why not smoke? 209 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,800 Because the first time you do it now you've awakened something 210 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,760 and your old man is the one that desires it. 211 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,960 Your new man is trying to break free from it, but you found 212 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,360 people who indulge in it, so you now have comfort in the 213 00:16:54,360 --> 00:17:00,240 community of sin. Therefore you have a reason to 214 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,880 justify your actions. Because you found a party, 215 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,920 instead of finding a party of prophets, you found a party of 216 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:18,040 sinners. But but right in the middle of 217 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,280 this garden, there's a million trees that's yours. 218 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,960 The one that he says don't touch is the one you desire the most. 219 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,520 And he says once the first human. 220 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:43,440 Woke that up in our nature. It's it's this is the tension 221 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:44,520 y'all. This is what I'm saying. 222 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,480 This is why it's worth it. Because if Adam's sin had the 223 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:55,400 power to wreck a whole race. Then what you turning around 224 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,400 your life could do for your bloodline? 225 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:07,680 We we are here because of a human being's decision, and here 226 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,680 is the generational power of a decision. 227 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:16,560 Adam's decision impacted every human until Jesus returned. 228 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:23,640 What could your decision impact with God's backing? 229 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,880 We must learn to live in the tension. 230 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,320 And today we're going to see these tensions. 231 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,480 And here we go, verse 13. I can already hear this is 232 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,440 picking up from what we just read. 233 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,720 I can already hear you next. Your next question. 234 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,320 Does that mean I can't even trust what is good? 235 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:55,640 That is, I can't trust the law. Is good just as dangerous as 236 00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:00,760 evil? No again, Paul says. 237 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,880 Come on guys. No again. 238 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:12,920 Somebody say again. Sin simply did what sin is so 239 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,960 famous for doing. Here it is. 240 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:22,400 What is it famous for doing? Using the good as a cover to 241 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,320 tempt me to do what would finally destroy me. 242 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,960 I'm gonna read that again. I'm gonna read that again Using 243 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,280 If we hear a lot of sneezing and coughing, this service 244 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,400 understand Deliverance is taking place. 245 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,920 Hallelujah. If somebody you smell, you 246 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,160 smell. If you smell somebody fart, then 247 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,760 you don't know who it is. Just thank God if you smell a 248 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,320 fart because somebody is getting set free in Jesus name. 249 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,400 Hallelujah. Demons coming out one way or 250 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,000 another. The nose, the mouth, or the 251 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,480 backtrack. Hallelujah. 252 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,320 Hallelujah, sin. Simply. 253 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,240 Now look that look. If it's you that past gas, don't 254 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,640 act like you didn't turn to your neighbor because you smell 255 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:10,560 insane. My bad. 256 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,960 But I'm free now. Come on, I'm sorry, but I'm 257 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,680 free. You want to celebrate my freedom 258 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,120 or or or hey, you get what I'm saying? 259 00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:21,760 Come on, I'm talking to somebody. 260 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,240 Most people, eh eero Egypt, they think we joking, huh? 261 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,520 Like deliverance for real comes out in these different ways. 262 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,000 If you ever been to a delivery service, it don't smell that 263 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:39,200 good with the altar care team. We need some some spray. 264 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,040 So if you see at the altar folks spraying, then you know, just 265 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,400 celebrate though. Say somebody shout out freedom. 266 00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:49,640 Somebody say freedom stank. Hey man, that's going to be a 267 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,400 message. Hallelujah. 2025 is coming March 268 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,240 2025. Freedom stank. 269 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:07,800 You using the good as a cover to tempt me to do. 270 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:15,720 Here's the vision and the mission of sin using the good as 271 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,880 a cover tempt. Let me tell you, you're never 272 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:27,000 going to get off track without starting with a good thing. 273 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,040 Some of y'all may be, but I ain't never been tempted to date 274 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,360 a gorilla. Some of y'all do gorillas and 275 00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:43,800 all that. I don't do gorillas, OK. 276 00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:48,880 You're not tempted by something you're not desiring or attracted 277 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,560 to. So what's presented to you is 278 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,120 going to be presented in a way that has you considering. 279 00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:02,160 It's why you out there in the dating world, you got to cut 280 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:12,080 Nah, Nope, Nah not interested. Especially if what attracted me 281 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:24,040 to you was was the. No, no, no, I will not receive 282 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:29,200 that as my first like I will not respond to that. 283 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:35,480 If if you are for me and from God, then then I'm going to 284 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,240 respond to the quickening of the Holy Ghost, not to the 285 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,720 quickening of my flesh. And so, just to starve my flesh, 286 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:52,960 I might have to say no to you. We go by hiding within God's 287 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,840 good commandments. Sin hides in God's good 288 00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:01,480 commandment. By hiding with it within God's 289 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:07,600 good commandment, sin did far more mischief than it could ever 290 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:14,120 have accomplished on its own. Sin needs good to get you. 291 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,240 Hey, hey Jesus, I know you're here to get the keys to the 292 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,880 Kingdom. How about I turn the keys over 293 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:31,000 to you because Satan had them? I give you the keys back if you 294 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,760 just bow down to me. Let me give you what you want, 295 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:45,720 but on the other side of that, you're going to get what you 296 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:53,280 don't need. It says I I can anticipate the 297 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:58,760 response that is coming. I know, I know, I know that all 298 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,800 God's commands are spiritual, but I'm not. 299 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:11,920 Isn't this also your experience? Yes, I'm full of myself. 300 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:20,240 I'm full of me. After all, I've spent a long 301 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,520 time in sins prison being full of me. 302 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,880 I knew I shouldn't have put these three see, because what I 303 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,240 got is I got these set of scriptures on the back end in 304 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,640 the middle of some other context. 305 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,920 So I'm a I'm a flip it and reverse it later. 306 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,000 And something told me don't make this first because I was going 307 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,000 to get stuck here. OK, Just bear with me. 308 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,840 I'm trying to talk to myself right now. 309 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,080 What I don't understand about myself. 310 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,960 Can anybody in here admit that you don't know everything or 311 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,400 understand everything about yourself? 312 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,440 Man, we going to raise up because some folks lying in 313 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:51,920 here.

Look at your neighbors. 319 00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:05,160 Say I'm not lost as you, but I'm still struggling with some 320 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:10,400 stuff. Hallelujah. 321 00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:19,600 Come on, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it 322 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,800 back. What I don't understand about 323 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:30,120 myself is that I decide one way I'm going to do this 22/20/25 is 324 00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:35,520 my Yeah, right. You got the mark markers you can 325 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,840 write on the mirror. You got sticky notes on your 326 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,880 dashboard. You didn't bought all kind of 327 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,720 organizer apps. You didn't bought that journal. 328 00:25:53,300 --> 00:25:57,020 I decide one way, but then I act. 329 00:25:57,860 --> 00:26:08,390 Somebody say another. I think we love, I think. 330 00:26:08,390 --> 00:26:10,990 Revelation is taking place. We love laughing at ourselves 331 00:26:12,350 --> 00:26:15,190 because revelation is happening. Your eyes are opening in Jesus 332 00:26:15,190 --> 00:26:20,120 name. But then I act another doing the 333 00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:23,200 things I absolutely despise, right? 334 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,640 You do that thing you like.

OK? 365 00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:06,840 Now listen, the point here is while you were dating and while 366 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:11,080 you were imagining yourself with this person, while you were 367 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,960 feeding your flesh, you number one had an opportunity. 368 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,760 Because here's what God says. I will always present you a way 369 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,920 out of sin. God's not mad at your struggle. 370 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,600 You're not sinning because you're struggling. 371 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:34,920 You're not sinning because you're pondering So, so so, so, 372 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:41,400 so you chose to go against the way out, and a lot of times it 373 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:53,710 leads to secrecy. So, so, so then you now, because 374 00:29:53,710 --> 00:29:56,270 you share this part of yourself with someone, even if it's 375 00:29:56,390 --> 00:30:02,070 emotional, you now have real estate invested. 376 00:30:02,830 --> 00:30:09,200 So now you're together because deep within, hear me, that 377 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:14,360 person owes you something. You've opened up conversations, 378 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,320 you've touched one time, you've kissed one time. 379 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,840 Now I've why do you think people, when they're trying to 380 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,800 like you, see a lot of cults and things of that nature, They make 381 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:29,240 you do something. So they have collateral, right? 382 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,760 What you don't realize spiritually and emotionally when 383 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,360 you cross those lines, even emotionally. 384 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,480 There's a collateral expectation. 385 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:44,080 And so that person, if they left you, there's a how dare you when 386 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:57,400 I open myself up to you. So I make this decision and that 387 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:03,360 quick decision is not worth how long it takes to get out of it 388 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:09,480 emotionally, right? I can go to the club, party it 389 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,440 up and say, God, I'll never do this again. 390 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,600 But what I take home with me is the club. 391 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,080 So now I got to I got to renew my mind from the experience. 392 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:27,200 I expose my soul to so so so if I can't be trusted to figure out 393 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:33,160 what is best for myself. See why the enemy don't like 394 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,040 accountability. The whole room raised their hand 395 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,800 and said, I, I sometimes don't understand me, which means you 396 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,320 sometimes. Can't trust you either. 397 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,000 But I don't need no accountability. 398 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,160 Well, if you could see all of you, then you wouldn't need 399 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:57,080 nobody to help expose parts of you, right? 400 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,240 You should be glad God brought somebody in your life that ain't 401 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:06,160 afraid of you or timid and ain't fooled by your tricks no more if 402 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,880 you fooling everybody around you in the wrong circle. 403 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:17,000 So if I, if I, so, if I can't be trusted to figure out what it is 404 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:23,920 best for myself and then do it, it becomes obvious that command 405 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:29,600 is necessary. The, the, the power of 406 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,800 discipleship or what we love about discipleship is we no 407 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,840 longer have to hold your hand because now you're able to hold 408 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,400 somebody else's. Wait. 409 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,240 Like how this is Jesus? How long do I got to keep 410 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,360 telling you?

It's also about what you don't 539 00:41:28,860 --> 00:41:29,620 do. That's right. 540 00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:34,620 It gets the better of me every time. 541 00:41:34,620 --> 00:41:37,460 Every time it happens so regularly that it's predictable. 542 00:41:37,460 --> 00:41:40,700 The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. 543 00:41:40,700 --> 00:41:46,420 It says when I want to do good, evil is always present, like it 544 00:41:46,420 --> 00:41:50,060 was in the garden. You see this garden tension? 545 00:41:50,420 --> 00:41:52,740 So we can. That's my reality. 546 00:41:54,180 --> 00:42:02,300 Yeah, that's my reality. Yeah. 547 00:42:06,380 --> 00:42:16,260 I love you, girl. Right. 548 00:42:17,620 --> 00:42:19,300 But. But but this is EJ. 549 00:42:19,340 --> 00:42:22,780 This is why we have to worship and praise how we do because 550 00:42:23,020 --> 00:42:27,460 there's two realities in us. So we have to stir up heavenly 551 00:42:27,460 --> 00:42:31,540 realities to flood out our old man nature. 552 00:42:33,340 --> 00:42:35,780 This is why we got to be here. Wednesday, because we got to 553 00:42:35,780 --> 00:42:38,100 flood out. There's two realities in US, 554 00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:44,380 Galatians 5 tells us, and they oppose one another not. 555 00:42:44,380 --> 00:42:46,700 Truly delight. In God's commands. 556 00:42:46,980 --> 00:42:50,580 But it's it's pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that 557 00:42:50,580 --> 00:42:54,220 delight, parts of me covertly. Rebel. 558 00:42:54,940 --> 00:42:57,940 And just when I least expected, here it is. 559 00:42:58,580 --> 00:43:02,860 They take charge. I've I've tried everything and 560 00:43:02,860 --> 00:43:05,140 nothing helps. I'm at the end of my rope. 561 00:43:05,340 --> 00:43:09,140 Is there no one who can do anything for me? 562 00:43:09,820 --> 00:43:13,500 Isn't that the real question? So. 563 00:43:13,500 --> 00:43:14,940 Then we get impatient and be like. 564 00:43:14,940 --> 00:43:17,420 I can't find a church, I can't find a mentor, I can't find 565 00:43:17,420 --> 00:43:20,300 this, can't find that. I'm scrolling then I'll find 566 00:43:20,300 --> 00:43:26,180 somebody on YouTube. But the real. 567 00:43:26,180 --> 00:43:33,100 Question is you're really looking for help that no one can 568 00:43:33,100 --> 00:43:39,540 fix. The answer, thank God, is that 569 00:43:39,540 --> 00:43:46,140 Jesus Christ can and does help. He acted to. 570 00:43:46,140 --> 00:43:51,900 Set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to 571 00:43:51,900 --> 00:43:58,860 serve God with all my heart and mind but am pulled by the 572 00:43:58,900 --> 00:44:03,900 influence of sin to do something totally different. 573 00:44:08,540 --> 00:44:12,700 And that's why the the. Subtitle for For the the the The 574 00:44:12,900 --> 00:44:16,380 Great Deception is the good fight of finishing sight. 575 00:44:18,660 --> 00:44:22,180 Like like, like you you. Have to get things clear if 576 00:44:22,180 --> 00:44:31,020 you're going to finish strong. Here. 577 00:44:31,020 --> 00:44:32,580 Here's the reality. Is. 578 00:44:34,140 --> 00:44:40,020 God could have easily dropped another. 579 00:44:40,020 --> 00:44:47,340 Savior or shall I say another another son full grown. 580 00:44:48,860 --> 00:44:53,860 He did it before. Why did God say this time around 581 00:44:54,700 --> 00:44:58,900 you got to be a baby? I I just kind of was thinking 582 00:44:59,220 --> 00:45:01,180 some revelation was shared. I didn't get a chance to share 583 00:45:01,180 --> 00:45:04,940 it on Wednesday, but God was just like son, how life. 584 00:45:04,940 --> 00:45:09,220 Began. I gave the world. 585 00:45:09,820 --> 00:45:13,380 To man. Child born. 586 00:45:14,100 --> 00:45:17,020 Son, giving the world started with me. 587 00:45:17,020 --> 00:45:22,260 Giving a man the world and to. Get it right, I have to give. 588 00:45:22,260 --> 00:45:29,620 The world a son. Because there's. 589 00:45:29,620 --> 00:45:32,660 Things that Adam just didn't learn. 590 00:45:32,660 --> 00:45:35,940 Some things have to be learned before you're given the world. 591 00:45:41,140 --> 00:45:41,460 You. You. 592 00:45:41,540 --> 00:45:42,180 You. You. 593 00:45:42,340 --> 00:45:44,020 You're. This is why God's not about. 594 00:45:44,100 --> 00:45:48,100 He did that before he gave. A man without. 595 00:45:48,100 --> 00:45:52,540 Experience stuff that he clearly couldn't handle. 596 00:45:55,780 --> 00:45:57,420 So while you trying to rush God, God. 597 00:45:57,420 --> 00:46:01,700 Saying no, I don't want to keep doing this over and over again 598 00:46:01,700 --> 00:46:06,020 with my children. Mature this. 599 00:46:06,020 --> 00:46:11,460 Is why Jesus was content being Carpenter first. 600 00:46:12,940 --> 00:46:14,380 He wasn't. Carpenter because he needed. 601 00:46:14,380 --> 00:46:16,340 Money. He was Carpenter because 602 00:46:16,340 --> 00:46:18,100 Carpenter prepared him for Savior. 603 00:46:21,460 --> 00:46:22,820 And as I was talking to somebody, the other. 604 00:46:22,820 --> 00:46:24,980 Day we got to learn how to shut up. 605 00:46:25,100 --> 00:46:29,500 We got to learn how to nurture our pregnancy. 606 00:46:31,380 --> 00:46:34,780 Joseph, the moment. He got pregnant, he start 607 00:46:34,780 --> 00:46:39,140 telling people. This is why a Mama. 608 00:46:39,540 --> 00:46:42,940 And a husband or a baby daddy will not tell or should not tell 609 00:46:43,020 --> 00:46:45,620 or will not tell people that they're pregnant till after the 610 00:46:45,620 --> 00:46:48,100 3rd trimester. And a. 611 00:46:48,100 --> 00:46:50,380 Lot of times you get so. Excited about what you're 612 00:46:50,380 --> 00:46:51,900 pregnant with? You start talking. 613 00:46:52,940 --> 00:46:55,300 And what does that mean when you start talking? 614 00:46:55,300 --> 00:46:59,500 You got 2 natures in here and you got 2 natures in the person 615 00:46:59,500 --> 00:47:03,220 you sharing your excitement with and based on how they hear it 616 00:47:03,420 --> 00:47:06,420 and based on how you hear feedback and based on how you 617 00:47:06,420 --> 00:47:12,100 get wisdom, it's like birthing. It's like if a mother soon as 618 00:47:12,100 --> 00:47:14,380 she find out she's pregnant she start pushing. 619 00:47:16,580 --> 00:47:18,860 The moment God pregnant. You with something you just 620 00:47:18,860 --> 00:47:21,900 start telling people a lot of time. 621 00:47:21,900 --> 00:47:23,420 You see a pregnant Mama. What's she doing? 622 00:47:28,140 --> 00:47:29,500 What is she doing? Nurturing. 623 00:47:30,020 --> 00:47:32,980 The baby, the father's talking to the belly. 624 00:47:33,500 --> 00:47:37,460 No, you need to stay in there. No, no, no, no, no. 625 00:47:37,460 --> 00:47:40,900 You got to hear me, your carnal. Nature want to. 626 00:47:40,900 --> 00:47:44,380 Give birth to stuff too soon. You want stuff too soon? 627 00:47:44,380 --> 00:47:49,300 You just want it. In the Bible of Romans 8, we 628 00:47:49,300 --> 00:47:51,460 learned. Last week is it's we're groaning 629 00:47:51,460 --> 00:47:54,060 because we're pregnant. God's about to birth something 630 00:47:54,060 --> 00:47:57,500 in this last hour that the world. 631 00:47:57,500 --> 00:47:59,500 Needs. He needs you to be still. 632 00:47:59,500 --> 00:48:02,140 We need you to nurture the dream, nurture the vision. 633 00:48:02,300 --> 00:48:04,780 He needs you to come in here and labor and worship. 634 00:48:04,780 --> 00:48:08,100 He needs you because all of this worship and all of this stuff 635 00:48:08,100 --> 00:48:11,060 we're doing Christmas production, it's nurturing. 636 00:48:11,060 --> 00:48:16,780 So when it's time to push, no, no it's not no C-section. 637 00:48:18,300 --> 00:48:21,500 No, this is a natural birth. This is garden realities. 638 00:48:23,340 --> 00:48:24,700 Right. We, we, we, we got to. 639 00:48:25,100 --> 00:48:28,580 We got to practice discipline. But who the mother and father 640 00:48:28,580 --> 00:48:32,060 does share with the nurse, doctor? 641 00:48:32,060 --> 00:48:35,940 A few close relatives. Who's your medulla? 642 00:48:38,380 --> 00:48:41,340 Who's the divine? People God put in your life. 643 00:48:45,660 --> 00:48:47,940 Who's who's the family doctors? In your life. 644 00:48:49,420 --> 00:48:54,060 That are there to walk you through this process because 645 00:48:54,060 --> 00:48:58,700 what the enemy, what flesh and what sin loves to do, it prides 646 00:48:58,700 --> 00:49:03,660 itself in abortions, miscarriages, still births 647 00:49:04,700 --> 00:49:08,540 because you carried so much stress during the pregnancy. 648 00:49:12,340 --> 00:49:13,860 Why you being attacked? Because. 649 00:49:13,860 --> 00:49:17,860 You're pregnant. Why you feel like quitting? 650 00:49:18,420 --> 00:49:22,380 Because you're pregnant. Why you coming to the end of 651 00:49:22,380 --> 00:49:23,740 yourself? Because you're pregnant. 652 00:49:28,700 --> 00:49:33,780 You're pregnant. This is a season where God is. 653 00:49:33,780 --> 00:49:36,460 Like this I'm going to do the pushing. 654 00:49:37,700 --> 00:49:46,980 I just need you to nurture.

Loosening things up so. 671 00:51:39,580 --> 00:51:41,940 He can get into the depths of your soul. 672 00:51:43,780 --> 00:51:46,460 Your flesh will not rule you.

Got that? 729 00:56:27,780 --> 00:56:32,460 Wednesday is our last one. And then guys, I am super 730 00:56:32,460 --> 00:56:47,540 excited about our production. It's going to be crazy. 731 00:56:49,140 --> 00:56:52,020 We already from from what I heard, we already had 200 and 732 00:56:52,020 --> 00:56:58,060 like 50 or 240 tickets sold or not sold but claimed or whatever 733 00:56:58,060 --> 00:57:01,820 you want to do it. But 250 and so and that we 734 00:57:01,820 --> 00:57:03,940 haven't even started promoting it outside yet. 735 00:57:04,300 --> 00:57:09,620 So tell your friends, tell your family and all finances that 736 00:57:09,620 --> 00:57:12,740 come through the production. First of all, off top, they're 737 00:57:12,740 --> 00:57:14,980 going to go towards every dime that was spent for the 738 00:57:14,980 --> 00:57:19,100 production like this stage. And then it's going towards a 739 00:57:19,100 --> 00:57:21,460 remnant project. They're already, they've done 740 00:57:21,460 --> 00:57:23,340 the framing next door. They're now ready. 741 00:57:23,340 --> 00:57:25,420 They're about to run the plumbing and. 742 00:57:35,380 --> 00:57:38,180 Framing I I just have a. Feeling that God's going to give 743 00:57:38,180 --> 00:57:42,500 birth to something that's going to absolutely wreck us, send us 744 00:57:42,500 --> 00:57:46,580 running around this this block. I don't know, I'm just, I just 745 00:57:46,580 --> 00:57:49,340 feel like God's going to do something before the year is 746 00:57:49,380 --> 00:57:53,300 over because because we, I. Believe because we set our mind 747 00:57:53,300 --> 00:57:55,020 to finish strong. God's going to put a 748 00:57:55,260 --> 00:57:58,540 exclamation. On the year, he's going to do 749 00:57:58,540 --> 00:58:00,260 something that sends. Us into the new. 750 00:58:00,260 --> 00:58:02,660 Year with great momentum. I believe, I believe. 751 00:58:02,660 --> 00:58:07,180 Can y'all believe with me? And then I think there's only 752 00:58:07,180 --> 00:58:11,660 prayer for the rest of the year on Saturday morning in Vancouver 753 00:58:11,660 --> 00:58:14,020 at 10:00 AM. Now there's a prophetic word 754 00:58:14,020 --> 00:58:16,980 that was sent to us from the Bahamas that said there's going 755 00:58:16,980 --> 00:58:19,100 to be a next wave of revival in our house. 756 00:58:19,100 --> 00:58:21,540 And it's going to be a revival of prayer. 757 00:58:21,980 --> 00:58:25,860 That means God is going to do something supernatural within us 758 00:58:25,860 --> 00:58:30,060 that causes us to want to pray, and not just at home, but come 759 00:58:30,060 --> 00:58:31,900 together and pray. OK. 760 00:58:32,220 --> 00:58:35,180 And so I'm believing for that because what God's called us to 761 00:58:35,180 --> 00:58:37,860 do can't happen without prayer. OK. 762 00:58:39,060 --> 00:58:43,620 And then December 22nd is the last Vancouver experience. 763 00:58:43,900 --> 00:58:46,260 And then we'll start that back up in the new year. 764 00:58:46,260 --> 00:58:51,420 Vancouver's experience will stay into the new year, but tonight 765 00:58:51,420 --> 00:58:54,020 is the last experience at the hub tonight. 766 00:58:54,020 --> 00:58:57,180 Somebody say tonight. And then the last thing, OK, I'm 767 00:58:57,180 --> 00:59:02,260 going to give you some homework. You're going to read Haggai 768 00:59:02,620 --> 00:59:06,220 Chapter 1.

That Sunday, 100% of every 774 00:59:22,220 --> 00:59:25,900 single person that comes is going to worship with us through 775 00:59:25,900 --> 00:59:30,260 our giving a last end of the year big old thank you to God 776 00:59:30,260 --> 00:59:30,740 for.
