1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,500
Thanks for checking out the 
anchor Faith. 

2
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:08,900
Message podcast from st. 
Augustine Florida. 

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:15,400
Now, enjoy this message. 
I want to conclude what we 

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,000
ministered on last week. 
We chose to call this portion or

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
this sermon chosen. 
I guess I need to add D to make 

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,100
sure they pick us up. 
I said that's intentional 

7
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,800
because at the end of the day 
when people are searching for 

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,300
The Chosen that maybe they'll 
come across the our message and 

9
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:38,100
there's a lot of 
misunderstanding concerning what

10
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:42,900
we're talking about in the 
church today, definitely with 

11
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:46,700
the world. 
And so we just need to rightly 

12
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:49,200
divide this thing called 
lordship. 

13
00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:57,700
As you turn over to John 6:44, I
want to let you know that this 

14
00:00:57,700 --> 00:01:01,000
Friday is what they call. 
Good Friday. 

15
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,000
Right today is technically Palm 
Sunday and I'm not preaching 

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,500
about palms today. 
Nor my preaching, what leads up 

17
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:11,600
to that, okay? 
I'm not obligated to minister 

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,800
messages. 
Only based upon u.s. holiday 

19
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,900
traditions, okay? 
And I have found in the past 

20
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:22,500
that when Easter Sunday comes we
like to call it Resurrection 

21
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:25,900
Sunday that there are a lot of 
people who basically come to 

22
00:01:25,900 --> 00:01:29,100
service that day. 
And so they hear these same 

23
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:31,900
message And the Lord's. 
Like they've heard this preach, 

24
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:38,200
something else because typically
they may not show up again until

25
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,800
the following year so we don't 
want them to be accustomed to 

26
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,300
one message, right? 
Because I found that even 

27
00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:51,500
Christmas is not as big of a 
service as Easter because you 

28
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:55,700
know school break and people 
traveling but Easter there's 

29
00:01:55,700 --> 00:02:01,500
really no holiday. 
It's just Sunday and it's still 

30
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:06,700
within the fabric of our us 
culture about going to church. 

31
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,600
Some of y'all going to look 
really nice next week, you're 

32
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,100
gonna dress up a little bit more
and I understand that's 

33
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:16,900
tradition but you understand I 
don't think that we're going to 

34
00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:19,900
come to Jesus. 
Ultimately and again the 

35
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:21,200
anointing is not in your 
clothes. 

36
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,200
I'm not saying that but there is
an attitude. 

37
00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:28,200
I am saying that. 
And I know when I stand before 

38
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,200
the Lord, he's not going to let 
me show up in blue jeans. 

39
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:37,900
Okay, when we become present 
with the Lord, there's going to 

40
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:42,100
be a dress code. 
At the end of the day, we're 

41
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:46,100
going to be wearing some very 
familiar clothing, meaning your 

42
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:47,800
neighbors, going to look a lot 
like you. 

43
00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:55,400
At the end of the day and the 
garments are white. 

44
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,800
Some of y'all look really good 
in white, some of us need to tan

45
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,100
more so we look better in white 
because some of you when you 

46
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:07,000
wear white we can't know where 
the clothing stops. 

47
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:20,600
Amen. 
Hallelujah, praise the Lord but 

48
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,600
on Good Friday I have been 
invited again this year to go to

49
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,500
Saint. 
Paul AME Church. 

50
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:32,900
And Minister for Good Friday. 
And so they have ministers, come

51
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,300
and do the seven last words of 
Jesus. 

52
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:42,200
And last year, I think I had the
saying where he says, son, 

53
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,000
behold your mother. 
And honestly, I was like, what 

54
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,400
am I going to preach out of that
but the lord gave me a word and 

55
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,300
I had seven minutes to preach 
it. 

56
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:55,200
And it's the first message I 
preached with an organ behind 

57
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,100
and we blew the house up. 
It was amazing this year, they 

58
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:02,100
said pastor, we want you to 
close it. 

59
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:07,000
So I'm going to close it. 
So I want to encourage you. 

60
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,100
If you're around, have lunch 
available at starts at noon on 

61
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:14,400
Friday, you can come downtown to
st. 

62
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,300
Paul AME, and we're going to 
preach the house. 

63
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,700
Amen. 
I'm really excited about being 

64
00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:23,300
able to minister there and so I 
want to encourage you to come 

65
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:27,200
out if you can, all right, we're
just you know, joining with the 

66
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,900
body. 
And we're doing our part. 

67
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:31,800
Amen. 
Okay. 

68
00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:37,200
John 6:44, we're talking about 
chosen says this no one can come

69
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,300
to me. 
Unless the father who sent me 

70
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:43,500
draws him, I will raise him up 
on the last day. 

71
00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:46,700
John 6:44. 
This is a couple of key. 

72
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:50,700
Texts we have and Understanding 
God's kingdom lordship says no 

73
00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:55,100
one can come to me. 
Unless the father who sent me 

74
00:04:55,100 --> 00:04:58,100
draws him and I will raise him 
up. 

75
00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:03,800
Up on the last day. 
So unless a drawing occurs, you 

76
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:12,200
cannot come, which means you 
must be invited, which means an 

77
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,800
invitation is appointed for a 
Time. 

78
00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:20,200
And you need to answer that. 
Alright? 

79
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,900
Now, we know, the scripture says
today is the day of salvation, 

80
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,500
right? 
But we could also say it this 

81
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:29,300
way, today is somebody's 
birthday. 

82
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:33,700
And there's seven point nine 
billion people in the planet 

83
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,700
that there's more than one 
person born on April. 

84
00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:39,600
The second one person who's born
today is dr. 

85
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,200
GE pay. 
Anybody know who dr. 

86
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,800
Keep a is, he's been minister of
us. 

87
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,400
Today's his birthday. 
So you can go find him on your 

88
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,500
Facebook, Instagram, or 
WhatsApp, and wish him a happy 

89
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:50,700
birthday. 
I've already done. 

90
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:56,700
So today's his day, the day that
God released him in the earth, 

91
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,100
physically seen from his 
mother's womb. 

92
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:02,900
Now he was in the earth prior to
that, because God knew him 

93
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:06,000
before he was in his mama's 
womb, but once he got into him, 

94
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,400
he was in the earth. 
We just didn't seem, he was 

95
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,000
behind a veil called the woman's
womb. 

96
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:17,400
He was alive, he was there, and 
he was listening, because any 

97
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,500
time that I get around any 
child, that was born in a cafe 

98
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:23,400
Church once they come out of the
womb and I walk in to the 

99
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,800
hospital or they come to the 
church. 

100
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,700
When I start talking their head 
starts moving because Mom has 

101
00:06:29,700 --> 00:06:33,800
been in in church and that child
has heard my voice preach. 

102
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,400
No doubt. 
They know my voice just like 

103
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,000
they will know mom's voice. 
They'll know a dad's voice. 

104
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,500
They know that voice are you 
hearing me? 

105
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:47,000
And so today is somebody's 
birthday, but it's not 

106
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,700
everybody's birthday. 
So when we say the day is a day 

107
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:54,200
of salvation, why? 
Because God is inviting someone,

108
00:06:54,700 --> 00:07:00,100
but he's not inviting everybody 
yet. see, there's this 

109
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:07,900
misconception with us that God's
inviting daily Everyone. 

110
00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:12,300
But that's not true. 
He's not inviting everyone daily

111
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:17,300
for some, he's planting for 
others. 

112
00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:22,400
He's watering And then there 
comes a day that he begins to 

113
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,500
invite. 
Now, the thing about inviting is

114
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:29,800
that he will invite but they'll 
come a point that the invitation

115
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,200
can stop Now we don't talk about
this a whole lot because at the 

116
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:39,700
reality is is we ultimately, you
know, believe that it just it 

117
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:43,200
will continue forever. 
But the reality is people can 

118
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,600
hardened their heart and God who
is all knowing, well know how 

119
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,300
many times he offered the 
invitation, they rejected it and

120
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:53,200
walk away and not invite 
anymore. 

121
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:56,900
Well, we understand there are 
certain denominations because of

122
00:07:56,900 --> 00:07:59,800
that. 
Then they get into this context,

123
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,600
they get into where they 
basically, Leave one as scared 

124
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,200
the hell out of you and they 
want to admonish you in such a 

125
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,300
way. 
Basically, to try to say, you 

126
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:14,800
don't know if you'll die today 
so you need to make sure but you

127
00:08:14,808 --> 00:08:19,300
understand it's not scaring 
someone that leads them to 

128
00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:23,400
repentance. 
It's not the telling of hell 

129
00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:26,700
that leads a person to 
repentance fact. 

130
00:08:26,700 --> 00:08:29,700
The Bible says it is the 
goodness of God or the kindness 

131
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:32,500
of God that leads people 
actually Lead to repentance. 

132
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:35,900
And sometimes some of the best 
things we can do, when we know 

133
00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:38,200
we're talking to someone who has
not made. 

134
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:43,500
Jesus Lord is to know how to 
talk and what to say and how far

135
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:48,000
to carry the conversation and 
when to let go, because God 

136
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,000
knows more than us. 
And if God says that's enough, 

137
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,600
say no more than. 
I don't want to say anything 

138
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:59,000
else because unfortunately God 
has sent some of his Labor's by 

139
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,500
to plant a seed but some other 
is have gone by unauthorized and

140
00:09:03,500 --> 00:09:07,300
have watered that seed so much, 
they've drowned it from being 

141
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:16,400
able to produce What you think 
gives life can kill it? 

142
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:22,200
Just water a plant too much. 
Now, water brings life unless 

143
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,900
you drown it. 
And we've got to have enough 

144
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:30,200
wisdom by the Holy Ghost, to be 
able to say, you know what? 

145
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,500
We are, just stop right here, 
there's no more water necessary.

146
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,300
Let that soak in for a while 
because at the end of the day, I

147
00:09:39,308 --> 00:09:42,100
don't have to be the one to 
close the deal. 

148
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,900
I'm concerned that many have 
said with their mouth but their 

149
00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:53,500
heart is far from them. 
And then we disconnected from 

150
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:57,700
people that still needed us to 
have an influence because we 

151
00:09:57,700 --> 00:10:01,400
assumed, they got it that day, 
we prayed together. 

152
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:05,000
They just prayed with you 
because they were drowning. 

153
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:11,100
All right, just say, Amen. 
Anyway, in John chapter 12 verse

154
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:14,600
31 to 32 assess. 
Now judgment is upon this world 

155
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:19,100
and now the ruler of this world 
will be cast out and I if I am 

156
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:24,400
lifted up from the earth will 
what draw all men to myself? 

157
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:28,900
So no one can come into the 
kingdom of God unless God 

158
00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:33,000
himself is in the process, he's 
part of the process. 

159
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,500
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
Now, you can say, well, I'm 

160
00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:39,300
doing It for god. 
Well, you are, if you are led by

161
00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:46,200
the spirit, Amen. 
Because we know that a Believer 

162
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:52,600
can act outside the 
authorization of God, this can 

163
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,900
happen. 
This is why Paul wrote in Romans

164
00:10:54,900 --> 00:11:01,000
that those who are children of 
God, are led by the spirit of 

165
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
God, and he says, that by 
unction of the holy spirit, 

166
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,400
because the Holy Spirit knew 
that many come into the kingdom.

167
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,600
But then try to function in the 
Kingdom, Without the holy 

168
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,300
spirit's leading. 
This is important. 

169
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:19,700
Because then we get the letter 
to the Galatians Church, where 

170
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:23,100
Paul is writing to them. 
And he's actually having to 

171
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:25,900
rebuke them. 
How do we know because we get 

172
00:11:25,900 --> 00:11:30,600
into the third chapter verse 1 
and he says who so easily 

173
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,900
Bewitched you. 
He's talking to a church now in 

174
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:36,800
essence, another translation 
says it this way you're born 

175
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,500
again, Believers. 
But why do you have a spell cast

176
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:43,800
in front of you in That's why 
did you pick up, witchcraft? 

177
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:46,900
Why are you under the sway of 
Witchcraft? 

178
00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:48,100
Is really what he's saying? 
Now? 

179
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:50,800
We're talking people who are 
born again and then he 

180
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,900
acknowledges you started this 
thing in the spirit but now 

181
00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:58,500
you're working it out, according
to the flesh. 

182
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,800
Now the flesh by definition just
means doing God my way. 

183
00:12:05,300 --> 00:12:09,500
I'm going to say that again 
doing God my way. 

184
00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:13,000
Doing it my way, not his way, my
way. 

185
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:17,300
And this is where a lot of times
we get in trouble is that we 

186
00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:22,500
have knowledge of God, but then 
we try to do God my way, not 

187
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:28,500
doing God, his way to people can
do the same thing that God says 

188
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:31,700
to do. 
One can be doing it righteously 

189
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:34,100
and another could be doing it, 
unrighteously. 

190
00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:38,300
And the difference is the 
condition of the heart are the 

191
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:43,700
motive of why they're doing. 
It was doing God their way, the 

192
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:46,300
other ones doing God. 
His way. 

193
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:50,300
This was the issue with the Rich
Young Ruler. 

194
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:58,400
By All rights, he's doing God's 
word, but God exposed it, he 

195
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,900
said, good teacher. 
What must I do to inherit 

196
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:03,700
eternal life? 
And what did Jesus say? 

197
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:06,700
Why do you call me? 
Good, only ones good. 

198
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,500
Now, that's a key just in and of
itself because what the Rich 

199
00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:15,400
Young Ruler didn't realize is 
that he was actually being the 

200
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,400
Dead. 
He's defining good and not 

201
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:22,700
letting God to find good. 
All right, even though he's 

202
00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:26,700
doing God's stuff. 
So he says, you know, the 

203
00:13:26,700 --> 00:13:30,800
Commandments and list a few of 
them he says, keep him. 

204
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,000
He says I've done that since my 
youth. 

205
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,300
Notice what Jesus didn't do? 
Jesus did not rebuke him and say

206
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:40,800
no, you haven't, you're a liar. 
He did not say that. 

207
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:48,500
He says, yep, you have done my 
word according to your standard,

208
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:54,500
22 to try to live. 
Holy I get it. 

209
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,800
He said but there's one thing, 
you lack. 

210
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:04,900
The one thing and it's the 
lordship test the in essence, he

211
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,400
goes at him at his problem. 
He says, in essence, he's saying

212
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,100
this if you kept the 
Commandments because I was 

213
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:17,200
saying keep the Commandments, 
then do what I say now, because 

214
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,400
if you're keeping the 
Commandments, because I'm the 

215
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,300
Lord of your life, and that's 
why you're keeping them. 

216
00:14:22,300 --> 00:14:25,800
Because I said it, here's what I
say now. 

217
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,700
Sell everything you have 
liquidated. 

218
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,900
Date all your wealth give it to 
the poor and come follow me. 

219
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,500
Now this is not a problem if 
you're doing my Commandments 

220
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:44,000
because I said so but if you're 
doing my commandments so that I 

221
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,800
notice you And you're telling me
I'm supposed to let you in My 

222
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,900
Kingdom, on your way of doing 
me. 

223
00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:57,200
Well, it's not going to happen. 
And the Rich Young Ruler, 

224
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:02,200
dropped his head and left and 
Jesus says it's hard. 

225
00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:08,400
It's hard. 
Now it's not hard for a rich man

226
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:15,000
who puts his trust in the Lord, 
and doesn't put his trust in his

227
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,900
riches because Paul deals with 
that later on, tell the ones 

228
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:22,900
that are rich to not put their 
trust in their wealth. 

229
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,700
So the rich is not the issue, 
it's the trust. 

230
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,200
And that's what Jesus was 
identifying. 

231
00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:38,600
This guy has put more trust in 
the other God than in me, but 

232
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,000
he's using me to try to get my 
acknowledgement. 

233
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:47,000
Are you hearing me? 
So again, to live by the flesh, 

234
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,900
as a born-again Believer is to 
do God your way. 

235
00:15:54,500 --> 00:15:59,400
And everyone in this room and at
the sound of my voice is 

236
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,100
subject, still to that type of 
living. 

237
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:11,000
We have to be conscientious or 
conscious is the word. 

238
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:17,800
We have to be conscious. 
That we are not living God our 

239
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,200
way, but his way. 
Amen. 

240
00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:23,200
All right. 
Just shout like a 

241
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:28,500
kindergartener. 
So just to bring us up to speed 

242
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:30,600
a little bit, so I can close 
this out. 

243
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,500
Jesus said this, because this is
really important. 

244
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,900
In John chapter 15, a little bit
review from last week. 

245
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,800
Starting in verse 16. 
He says, you did not choose me, 

246
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,800
but I chose you and appointed 
you that you would go and bear 

247
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,000
fruit, and that your fruit would
remain. 

248
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:49,600
So that whatever you ask the 
father in my name, I'll give it 

249
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,900
to you, alright? 
Then he's to go to verse 17 and 

250
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:55,100
this, I command you that you 
love one another now. 

251
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,000
That's Not a problem to be 
commanded by God because he's 

252
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,900
Lord. 
So again, you don't have the 

253
00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:03,800
option, I mean, you have the 
option, right? 

254
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,500
You have the option to do what 
you want to do, but God will 

255
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:10,500
hold you accountable to whatever
you do because the many he gives

256
00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:12,800
you a command or a word 
something to follow. 

257
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:18,500
You're obligated and he's 
obligated which means he will 

258
00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:22,900
judge you according to that word
now, So if you know that you're 

259
00:17:22,900 --> 00:17:25,599
supposed to love one another, 
then you're going to have to 

260
00:17:25,608 --> 00:17:28,300
love one another. 
I said you're going to have to 

261
00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:31,500
love one another. 
You can't hold a grudge. 

262
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,100
You can't walk and 
unforgiveness. 

263
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,000
You can't hold an offense, you 
can't do it. 

264
00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:39,300
If he's Lord. 
Now you can do it if you want to

265
00:17:39,308 --> 00:17:44,400
walk according to your flesh and
you define how you follow God. 

266
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,200
But if you're going to follow 
God, the way he defines he says,

267
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,300
now listen I chose you, you 
didn't choose me. 

268
00:17:51,300 --> 00:17:53,800
So don't think you can sit in 
church and be upset with one of 

269
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,800
your brothers and I'm just going
to let it go and not like we 

270
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,800
tight because I'm your personal 
savior, I personally saved you 

271
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,400
but I'm not your personal 
savior. 

272
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:08,300
Are you need to hear that God 
personally saved you, but he's 

273
00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:12,900
not your personal savior. 
Meaning, he's not obligated to 

274
00:18:12,900 --> 00:18:19,900
only spend time with you. 
Nor is he looking just to spend 

275
00:18:19,900 --> 00:18:27,300
time with you? 
He saying, welcome to the 

276
00:18:27,300 --> 00:18:28,600
family. 
Now, get along with your 

277
00:18:28,608 --> 00:18:31,400
brothers and sisters like I do, 
because I love the whole family,

278
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:33,400
you're not going to pull me over
to the side because you're not 

279
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,900
my favorite son. 
I don't have a special 

280
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:40,000
assignment for you. 
I mean, if we gonna go there, 

281
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,600
everyone special. 
Amen, I have an assignment for 

282
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,300
you, but you're not more special
than your brother over here. 

283
00:18:48,300 --> 00:18:50,500
Your sister over here, you're 
welcome to the family. 

284
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,400
And again, if you're loving me, 
you're going to love them. 

285
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,700
Because if any loving them, then
we got conflict. 

286
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,400
This is how I Define living. 
For me. 

287
00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:04,600
This is how we begin to deal 
with the lordship but again he 

288
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:09,000
said listen I chose you aren't 
you glad you've been chosen? 

289
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,200
Which means he personally, 
Everyone in this room who have 

290
00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:16,100
who have believed in their heart
and confess with your mouth, 

291
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:20,100
that Jesus Christ is Lord. 
That he came as God In the 

292
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:24,900
Flesh, died on the cross. 
And on the third day, was raised

293
00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:27,100
from the dead. 
He took his blood that was 

294
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:31,100
without spot or blame poured it 
on The Mercy Seat in heaven and 

295
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:34,800
gave you an entrance into his 
kingdom. 

296
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:39,200
That if you would call, he's 
already made the way, but you 

297
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,400
have to do something. 
I said, love made the way, but 

298
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,500
you have to do something. 
You have to believe you have to 

299
00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:52,700
confess and salvation that you 
receive comes by way of 

300
00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:55,900
lordship. 
Not, by way of, I don't want to 

301
00:19:55,908 --> 00:20:01,600
go to hell when I die. 
This is not a confession of, I 

302
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,200
don't want to go to hell when I 
die. 

303
00:20:04,900 --> 00:20:08,200
Jesus, I'll take your blood 
because I don't want to go to 

304
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:14,500
hell when I die. 
That's not the salvation 

305
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,200
Salvation is your lord. 
Now, the thing about Lord is 

306
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,200
Lord is actually not a religious
word. 

307
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,100
At all. 
And as long as we continue to 

308
00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:28,200
say Jesus is Lord, but there's 
religion assigned to it. 

309
00:20:28,300 --> 00:20:32,700
Well, then guess what? 
All religion is you defining 

310
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:36,800
God. 
If we want to just go ahead and 

311
00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:40,400
rip, religion down to its bare 
truth. 

312
00:20:40,700 --> 00:20:46,400
It is you defining God. 
That's religion. 

313
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:51,800
This is God to me, and this is 
how I worship, and it gives me 

314
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,000
access that's religion. 
Period. 

315
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,800
And Jesus is Lord, and it's not 
a religious word. 

316
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,100
It is position. 
We could call it title. 

317
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,700
It literally means Supreme and 
Authority. 

318
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:15,900
Now, what is supreme mean? 
Supreme means first. 

319
00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:20,600
It means number one and two. 
Jesus talked about things like 

320
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,100
him being first. 
Sure. 

321
00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:27,200
He says, you're going to love me
how with all your heart, and I 

322
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,900
would half of it, not with the 
leftovers. 

323
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:32,400
You're gonna love me with all 
your heart, but not just your 

324
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,400
heart with all your soul, with 
all your mind, with all your 

325
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,300
strength, I want your emotions. 
I want you intellect. 

326
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,300
I want you to yield your, will I
even Want your physical 

327
00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:47,500
strength. 
I don't want you giving your 

328
00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:53,000
body to work 40 or 50 hours a 
week and then tell me you're 

329
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,400
tired too. 
Tired to come fellowship with me

330
00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:01,500
on a Sunday because it would be 
better for you to quit your job 

331
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:06,800
and be in church and have a real
relationship with the lordship. 

332
00:22:06,900 --> 00:22:12,300
Then it is for you to work 
outside and become broke having 

333
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:15,500
money in the bank. 
Because I can tell you if you'll

334
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:19,100
follow the lord, you'll give 
position you'll have a job 

335
00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:22,500
because you'll realize this is 
not who I am. 

336
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,200
This is where I get to 
demonstrate the kingdom. 

337
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,600
Are you hearing me? 
And so Supreme is first, what 

338
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,600
did he say? 
He says seek Seek maybe if you 

339
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,500
have time, after all of the 
games you're taking your 

340
00:22:41,500 --> 00:22:50,200
children to for practice. 
Now, I am not against any of 

341
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:55,000
those is long as you keep things
in priority, God has nothing 

342
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,500
wrong with your children. 
Playing sport. 

343
00:22:56,500 --> 00:23:01,300
Of fact, I get really excited 
when I see Youth and Young 

344
00:23:01,300 --> 00:23:05,800
people in our church that are 
playing and they have a game on 

345
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,200
Wednesday night, it filters into
service, but then when I look up

346
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,600
towards the end, they're 
standing in the back. 

347
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,800
They came straight here from the
game, their parents had enough 

348
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,900
Understanding that, even though 
we may be late, we're not 

349
00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:27,300
missing. 
That's huge. 

350
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,000
Instead of well, we had a game, 
you know, we'll just pick it up 

351
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,500
later I'll because you know, 
Jesus is our homeboy, it's my 

352
00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:38,000
buddy. 
He's my personal savior. 

353
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:43,300
He understands that my child 
played a big game today and he's

354
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:46,900
got homework and you know the 
school systems more important. 

355
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,000
Okay. 
Y'all doing all right, go and 

356
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,900
smile. 
Anyway I mean I only say it like

357
00:23:55,900 --> 00:23:58,900
this because it does identified 
lordship. 

358
00:23:59,300 --> 00:24:02,600
I mean you know I was praying 
before service I was over. 

359
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,700
I said my Lord you know I'm 
going to talk about lordship 

360
00:24:04,700 --> 00:24:08,700
today and you know I can get 
really heavy in the room you 

361
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:11,600
know because when you really 
start revealing true lordship 

362
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:14,700
you know, it identified eyes 
where people are at. 

363
00:24:14,900 --> 00:24:18,400
So help me be anointed to 
present it in such Such a way so

364
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,500
that people will be passionate 
about. 

365
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:25,600
That's easy. 
I want that because I can't 

366
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,900
candy coat. 
God's requirement. 

367
00:24:30,100 --> 00:24:32,800
That's the challenge. 
I can't candy coat. 

368
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,300
It again. 
I'm not saying your kids can't 

369
00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:38,000
be and Athletics. 
I can't. 

370
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
I'm not saying that. 
Take your kids out of school and

371
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,100
home school. 
I'm not saying I'm saying, 

372
00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:47,800
always keep the things of God 
priority that way when it's all 

373
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,100
said and done. 
When you look at your child or 

374
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:55,100
you look at your employer. 
And you say now, listen, I work 

375
00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:57,900
over here but at the end of the 
day, if this is going to be the 

376
00:24:57,900 --> 00:24:59,800
total Assam and I believe God to
leave this. 

377
00:24:59,900 --> 00:25:02,200
Place because God would not want
me to be out of church. 

378
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,800
You maybe a season being out, 
but you can believe God. 

379
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,900
And why don't we exercise our 
faith for that? 

380
00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:14,600
Where God can get you into the 
place. 

381
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,600
You're getting fed where you can
become an asset more so and 

382
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,300
serving. 
Because if you'll do the things 

383
00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:22,700
of the Kingdom first and he'll 
expand everything you'll ever 

384
00:25:22,700 --> 00:25:25,800
do, you can be honest with your 
children. 

385
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,800
Say now listen, I will take you 
to practice, I have no problem, 

386
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,800
but don't ever tell me you're 
too child for church. 

387
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,600
Because if you get tell me, 
you're too tired for church, 

388
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:33,900
then we'll just quit playing 
ball. 

389
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,300
Because that baseball didn't die
for you. 

390
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:44,600
Now, I'ma be all. 
So I was watching ESPN 

391
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:50,400
commercial yesterday and man, 
they are selling sports, like, 

392
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,900
it's the church. 
No, seriously. 

393
00:25:54,300 --> 00:25:59,300
They're talking about all these 
coaches, help change character. 

394
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,400
I mean, they had great time, and
I'm reading that I'm like, geez,

395
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,600
that's the best Church 
advertisement I've ever heard in

396
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:10,600
my life. so, one whole sector of
society called Athletics is 

397
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:15,300
basically saying, That we can do
what the church was supposed to 

398
00:26:15,300 --> 00:26:17,100
do now. 
That doesn't mean coaches are 

399
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:20,900
born again and doing it. 
I'm not saying that. but if a 

400
00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:27,900
coach thinks they can replace a 
pastor, there's a problem. 

401
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,000
It's because we don't know what 
Jesus has said about the church.

402
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,800
Hallelujah. 
So with that being said, there's

403
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,400
a principle of lordship and that
is all true. 

404
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:46,200
Kings are personally legal 
owners of property territory or 

405
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,900
domain. 
In other words, they are Lord 

406
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:53,200
because they are owners. 
Well, that being said, I want to

407
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,200
turn over and take you to this 
passage of scripture. 

408
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:02,000
First Corinthians 6:19 and 20, 
First Corinthians chapter 6, 19 

409
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,400
and 20 for Jesus to be Lord 
Supreme. 

410
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:12,400
First in authority, meaning he 
should be given the right to 

411
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:18,700
determine the results. 
Number one, he's love anyway and

412
00:27:18,700 --> 00:27:23,200
he always does what he says. 
So I want to hear what he says 

413
00:27:23,300 --> 00:27:29,900
about me because to follow what 
he says, means my I have life 

414
00:27:29,900 --> 00:27:34,300
and life more abundantly period.
No weapon formed against me 

415
00:27:34,300 --> 00:27:37,300
would be able to prosper. 
I will be up underneath him. 

416
00:27:37,300 --> 00:27:40,200
He's like a mother hen that I 
get up underneath her. 

417
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,200
Her brood, I am he is a strong 
tower that I run into. 

418
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:49,900
I mean it's So easy for me to 
say yes Father whatever you say 

419
00:27:50,100 --> 00:27:52,600
I'll do it in the name of Jesus.
I'm going to do it in the name 

420
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,000
of Jesus. 
Absolutely. 

421
00:27:56,100 --> 00:28:00,200
And so, when we call him Lord, 
because we've made that a 

422
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:06,200
religious term, we made Jesus 
even a religious figure and we 

423
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,800
Define him through our current 
government. 

424
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,100
Although our current government 
is being communicated in a 

425
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:18,900
direction that it is not 
originally, but we have in our 

426
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:24,100
psyche democracy and that is 
freedom of choice, and you do 

427
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:28,000
have a freedom of choice as a 
free-will moral agent, but God 

428
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,800
has things. 
He said we are to do and to 

429
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,500
choose against that as death, 
but we kind of pick and choose 

430
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:38,800
what we want. 
We pick and choose how often we 

431
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,100
engage God we pick and choose 
how Often we read the Bible. 

432
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,800
We pick and choose. 
How, how? 

433
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,800
We Define regular attendance, 
how we Define commitment to the 

434
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:54,200
Lord. 
At the end of the day and then 

435
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,800
we argue about. 
Don't don't you quit? 

436
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,700
Don't judge me or I'm not gonna 
judge you about your 

437
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:03,400
relationship with Jesus, but I 
will hold your actions and 

438
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,400
behavior accountable to the 
word. 

439
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:08,700
And if you're saying you're 
something, you're not. 

440
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,200
I'm going to say that John, the 
Baptist was bold enough. 

441
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:17,200
To tell the religious Pharisees 
keep alive in Repentance. 

442
00:29:17,900 --> 00:29:21,100
I mean, you are the key. 
If you're not keeping a life in 

443
00:29:21,100 --> 00:29:23,900
Repentance, then, Then, you've 
not really repented. 

444
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:27,500
So you tell everybody all day 
long, how to live for God? 

445
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:30,000
Even Jesus said do what the 
Pharisees say, but don't do what

446
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,400
they do. 
They are not your example but 

447
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,000
they do have whole words of 
life. 

448
00:29:37,300 --> 00:29:40,200
He did that. 
Now as a Believer I can judge a 

449
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:45,300
person's fruit that I can do. 
In fact, I am commissioned as 

450
00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:48,100
saints were commissioned to do 
that, but look what it says here

451
00:29:48,100 --> 00:29:50,200
since he's Lord because the Lord
is not a religious word. 

452
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:55,800
It says, or do you not know that
your body is the Temple of the 

453
00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:01,100
Holy Spirit who is in, is in? 
How do you get in there? 

454
00:30:02,700 --> 00:30:05,900
I said, how do you get in there?
Is because you called on the 

455
00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:09,600
name of the Lord, he took the 
old man that was dead and it's 

456
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,900
trespasses of sin. 
Evicted it out of this skin 

457
00:30:12,900 --> 00:30:15,300
suit. 
Then put a new creature in 

458
00:30:15,300 --> 00:30:18,300
Christ in the image of God in 
the image of the king. 

459
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,800
A king of the king, then the 
Holy Ghost moved in and says 

460
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,000
you're a child of God. 
Now let's operate like one less 

461
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,900
act like one. 
Let's behave like one. 

462
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,800
Let's live like one and because 
you are the little King of the 

463
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:37,200
key, you are to do what the king
says. 

464
00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:44,500
Because you said he was Lord. 
He goes on whom you have from 

465
00:30:44,500 --> 00:30:47,100
God. 
And that you are not that. 

466
00:30:47,100 --> 00:30:52,000
You are what not your say. 
I'm not my home. 

467
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:57,000
Say I'm not my home, I'm not my 
home which means you don't have 

468
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,800
the right to tell yourself 
stuff. 

469
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,500
Now I'm not talking about 
putting your clothes on. 

470
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:11,700
Father, what am I to wear today?
And now your job calling say 

471
00:31:11,700 --> 00:31:14,300
where you at the Holy Ghost, 
didn't tell me what to wear. 

472
00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:16,000
So I went leave, I'm naked in 
the house. 

473
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,700
I have no idea. 
Are you hearing me? 

474
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,900
There are some things that, you 
know, you are to put clothes on.

475
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:29,500
We know that right now the Lord 
may tell you something not to 

476
00:31:29,508 --> 00:31:34,500
wear that can be true statement,
Sometimes some issues of life 

477
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:37,700
that's not asking him. 
What to do is being sensitive to

478
00:31:37,700 --> 00:31:40,800
hear him. 
Not tell us to do not do 

479
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,100
something. 
Okay, at the end of the day so 

480
00:31:44,100 --> 00:31:48,000
I'm not trying to get us to be 
this super you know, wacky 

481
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,700
spiritual which is not real 
spirituality that you can't do. 

482
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:54,200
I call my hair to the side today
or do a part it down. 

483
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,700
I mean seriously. 
That's not what we're talking 

484
00:31:57,700 --> 00:32:01,700
about here. 
But we are talking about things 

485
00:32:01,700 --> 00:32:05,100
concerning scripture, the word, 
and being sensitive enough. 

486
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:09,300
Even to the fact that if the 
Lord did say, don't wear that 

487
00:32:09,300 --> 00:32:13,200
today, you would be, or he would
say, I want you to put this on 

488
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,100
today. 
You know what, you've never done

489
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:20,000
that but you know what? 
At your word, Just like Peter 

490
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,900
Peter by All Rise God don't care
about you net, your fisherman, 

491
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:28,600
put it out. 
But in this case, when they did 

492
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,800
not get anything. 
Jesus says, going back out there

493
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,600
and throw your net on the other 
side of the boat. 

494
00:32:34,700 --> 00:32:38,500
Now I'll never forget the one I 
heard that, I'm like, how is 

495
00:32:38,508 --> 00:32:41,900
that even possible in one sense?
You know? 

496
00:32:42,300 --> 00:32:45,600
I mean, they go out if they're 
letting down on the right or the

497
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,300
left, they're letting out right 
there on this side. 

498
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:53,100
Then they turn the ship around. 
And they're coming back to me. 

499
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:54,700
Technically, the only other 
side. 

500
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,900
So I know he said, let your net 
on the other side, that's not 

501
00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:05,000
the issue. 
The issue is, but at your word 

502
00:33:05,500 --> 00:33:07,600
now Peter had no problem with 
facts. 

503
00:33:07,700 --> 00:33:12,200
He said Lord, we have fished all
night seriously. 

504
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:17,700
I mean your dad was a carpenter,
you do, good work but we're 

505
00:33:17,700 --> 00:33:22,000
fishermen at the end of the day.
I mean, Peter has this 

506
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,300
discourse. 
I mean his whole comment was 

507
00:33:24,300 --> 00:33:27,500
basically to say at the end of 
the day, where the professionals

508
00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:31,000
we are the experts Be careful 
with that word. 

509
00:33:31,300 --> 00:33:36,000
We are the experts. 
And we've done this all night. 

510
00:33:36,900 --> 00:33:43,300
so the end of the day, but but 
at your word and man, if you 

511
00:33:43,300 --> 00:33:46,600
just do it at your word, which 
means sometimes. 

512
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,600
God just break up your routine 
just to test. 

513
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,400
Are you listening? 
And I my Lord. 

514
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,500
Am I Lord, amen, I remember one 
time in my personal life, the 

515
00:33:58,500 --> 00:34:01,200
Lord said to me, I was driving, 
I had a Jeep Wrangler at the 

516
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,800
time and I had an IBC root beer.
Some of you've heard me say 

517
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,800
this, I mean, you haven't had an
IBC root beer. 

518
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,300
I drank root beer at a time. 
I do not drink root beer anymore

519
00:34:08,500 --> 00:34:10,800
because honestly, it's just too 
sweet for me. 

520
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,699
But at the time it wasn't as 
much and so at but I am a glass 

521
00:34:14,699 --> 00:34:17,600
bottle junkie, okay, can I just 
say that I love the glass 

522
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,000
bottle, I'm still not happy with
Coke and Pepsi to go to plastic,

523
00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:24,900
it's not the same. 
So So I gravitate to Glass now, 

524
00:34:24,900 --> 00:34:31,600
there's, you know certain, you 
know, liquid substances that are

525
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,199
in glass all the time, but I 
don't drink those things because

526
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:39,600
I got to keep my mind sober. 
I don't let it get off. 

527
00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:45,300
Okay, I'm by All rights a 
Nazarite because I'm born again 

528
00:34:45,699 --> 00:34:49,100
and I don't let anything enter 
my system that messes with my 

529
00:34:49,100 --> 00:34:52,000
mind. 
Okay? 

530
00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:55,199
Because I remember, First time I
did that, it only took a few 

531
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:59,200
sips. 
So if anybody is bragging, about

532
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,000
an amount of consumption that 
tells me they've allowed their 

533
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,100
alcohol, blood level to get to a
place and by All rights, when 

534
00:35:06,100 --> 00:35:08,800
you first started it messed with
your mind, then, but now, it 

535
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,000
doesn't mess with it, which 
means you're closer to being an 

536
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,000
alcoholic, then you are social 
drinker. 

537
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:24,300
Anyway, root beer was in glass 
bottles and so I'd like drinking

538
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:27,300
out of glass bottles and I was 
drinking in town. 

539
00:35:27,300 --> 00:35:31,700
I remember exactly where I was 
at, I was at Belle's Outlet, the

540
00:35:31,700 --> 00:35:35,700
light there, on 312 going 
towards to go over the bridge. 

541
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,200
I was stopped at that light and 
I was drinking this freezing, 

542
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:44,800
cold sweat, going down, the 
glass bottle, I be serious. 

543
00:35:44,900 --> 00:35:46,600
Root beer? 
Is it? 

544
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,500
Just went down the back of my 
throat, man. 

545
00:35:48,500 --> 00:35:58,700
I could just feel it tingle and 
then I heard the Holy Ghost. 

546
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:01,100
Say don't ever drink root beer 
in public again. 

547
00:36:02,900 --> 00:36:08,900
He told me that it's like, what?
I didn't pick it up. 

548
00:36:10,500 --> 00:36:13,800
I drove home dumped it out 
because it wasn't cold by then 

549
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,200
dumped it out. 
What I didn't realize is that 

550
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,600
there's a nekkid epidemic with 
pastors drinking alcohol and 

551
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:26,900
their staffs today. 
And the Lord didn't want me 

552
00:36:26,900 --> 00:36:33,100
associated with that, because 
now people have videos and they 

553
00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:37,100
love to take out of context and 
unfortunately, that bottle from 

554
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:39,100
a distance can look like a 
different bottle. 

555
00:36:39,900 --> 00:36:43,200
I mean, we're already accused of
bringing illegal aliens to arm 

556
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,700
all the time. 
Now song song Yesterday. 

557
00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:51,400
Now, they are not illegal, they 
are immigrant workers that are 

558
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,800
working in the field and coming 
to the bank to cash their 

559
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,900
checks. 
But they just bring them on a 

560
00:36:55,908 --> 00:36:59,500
bus. 
But people are filming and 

561
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:01,900
drying around and saying that 
apparently we're bringing them 

562
00:37:01,900 --> 00:37:03,800
from Mexico guys. 
It's just not true. 

563
00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:09,600
The crazy stuff and the Lord did
want me posted on a bunch of 

564
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:14,200
social media somewhere. 
In fact, we do some stuff when I

565
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,700
do sparkling water because it's 
in a glass bottle, a lot of 

566
00:37:18,700 --> 00:37:21,400
times, the restaurant will want 
to bring me a glass. 

567
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,800
That looks like a wine glass. 
Why? 

568
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,600
Why do I have to have sparkling 
water in a wine glass? 

569
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,500
Now, I can drink out of it as 
long as you leave the bottle 

570
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:34,300
there, that I always turn the 
label out. 

571
00:37:37,900 --> 00:37:43,200
I'm serious. 
I don't play, I flee the 

572
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,000
appearance of evil. 
I love my God too much. 

573
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:50,300
I'm gonna be to Holy at the end 
of the day, but a lot of times 

574
00:37:50,300 --> 00:37:53,200
I'm like, you know, what can you
can we get some regular glasses 

575
00:37:53,500 --> 00:37:55,500
now, then they'll send the 
little bitty ones, you know that

576
00:37:55,500 --> 00:38:01,300
they put you know, liquor in, 
you know so you're like how you 

577
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:02,900
know? 
I'm having sparkling water on 

578
00:38:02,900 --> 00:38:05,500
the Rocks. 
Now with a Twist of lemon, a 

579
00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:07,400
lime. 
Okay. 

580
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:14,300
Anyway you do the best you can. 
My point is my life's not my own

581
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:18,700
and I'm not telling you not to 
drink root beer in public, you 

582
00:38:18,700 --> 00:38:20,300
got to do what God tells you to 
do. 

583
00:38:20,300 --> 00:38:22,000
I'm doing what God has told me 
to do. 

584
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:26,400
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
But my point is I'm not my own 

585
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:32,500
and because I'm not my own, my 
wife joined the best phrase. 

586
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,500
Thank you. 
This was amazing. 

587
00:38:36,300 --> 00:38:39,400
I'm telling this I'm trying not 
to tell stories of my wife, my 

588
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,300
life, like nothing safe with you
true. 

589
00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:44,900
But this is okay. 
This one's okay. 

590
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,400
I said, what do you want to do 
for vacation this year? 

591
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,400
She said I just want to stay 
home, really? 

592
00:38:53,100 --> 00:38:55,200
I mean you don't want to go 
somewhere Cruise, something, I 

593
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,200
mean, let's do something. 
She goes no, she goes cause we 

594
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:05,200
do a bunch of go case now. 
You know, what to go k is, go 

595
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,500
into all the world we're 
traveling on a mission. 

596
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,200
She said, our travel is on the 
go. 

597
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:18,000
So we're on the go now, so much 
that I just want to stay. 

598
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,100
And that amazing. 
I'm like Ugh. 

599
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:24,200
Okay, I like that. 
I like that. 

600
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,700
I'm gonna go on go keishon. 
Some of y'all need to go on. 

601
00:39:27,700 --> 00:39:30,100
Go keishon. 
Need to go on a mission trip 

602
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:33,200
with us instead of trying to get
a vacation going to go caishen 

603
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,500
to be amazed what it does. 
That was so good. 

604
00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:40,500
We're gonna make t-shirts 
Hallelujah. 

605
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,700
Amen. 
But here's the reality. 

606
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:51,900
My life's not my own. there came
a day that I looked at my wife 

607
00:39:51,900 --> 00:39:56,600
and I says, I got to ask God if 
we can be off. 

608
00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:01,900
Amen. 
Goes nowhere in scripture that 

609
00:40:01,900 --> 00:40:05,500
says the kingdom of God is a 
nine-to-five job. 

610
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:11,300
I'm meddling now, but it's all 
right, is a 9 to 5 job with good

611
00:40:11,300 --> 00:40:14,200
health care in a retirement 
plan, so that once you kind of 

612
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,200
get to a particular place, you 
can retire. 

613
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,100
And then you live, whatever, you
do, whatever you want to do off 

614
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:21,600
the money, you made during the 
time, you were working and 

615
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,100
somewhere along the line. 
If God's included, that's great 

616
00:40:24,300 --> 00:40:25,900
because at least you've asked 
him to come to your heart and 

617
00:40:25,900 --> 00:40:27,100
save you. 
Because when you die after 

618
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:34,100
retirement, which most people do
very quickly, you'll go to 

619
00:40:34,100 --> 00:40:37,600
heaven. 
That is not why Jesus came. 

620
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,800
So you're not your own. 
Go ahead and look at your 

621
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:43,900
neighbor. 
Say you're not your own. 

622
00:40:47,300 --> 00:40:51,600
And I have found that the more I
allow God to actually be Lord, 

623
00:40:52,300 --> 00:40:58,000
the greater my life is and the 
more I discover myself, the more

624
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,400
freedom, I actually have the 
more power shows up the more 

625
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,700
protection manifests. 
It's amazing. 

626
00:41:07,100 --> 00:41:14,200
Then in verse 20, says, for you 
have been bought With a price. 

627
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:21,700
Now, I understand that it 
doesn't financially cost us 

628
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,800
anything. 
To be born again. 

629
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:32,600
I understand that the gift is 
freely given to us. 

630
00:41:35,900 --> 00:41:40,600
I understand that. 
But it still cost. 

631
00:41:43,300 --> 00:41:50,900
In fact, it cost Jesus. 
Now the question is why, let's 

632
00:41:50,900 --> 00:41:53,500
answer this question real quick.
Why? 

633
00:41:54,300 --> 00:41:57,200
Because the father said, in the 
book of Beginnings, let us make 

634
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,100
man in our image Genesis 1:26, 
let us make man in our image 

635
00:42:00,100 --> 00:42:02,900
according to our likeness and 
let them have ruler dominion 

636
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,300
over the fish of the sea. 
The birds of the sky over all 

637
00:42:05,300 --> 00:42:07,300
the cattle over every creeping 
thing that creeps on the earth 

638
00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:10,800
over all the Earth, let male and
female both have dominion. 

639
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,000
This is God's plan for Man, this
is how God wants man to be. 

640
00:42:15,100 --> 00:42:17,800
And so man, he takes this man 
named Adam, right? 

641
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,900
Which he puts him in the garden.
He breathed, he builds out of 

642
00:42:20,900 --> 00:42:25,000
the skin suit or dirt suit. 
He breathes into this dirt suit 

643
00:42:25,900 --> 00:42:29,900
Soul and Spirit and he becomes a
living being and he's alive. 

644
00:42:29,900 --> 00:42:34,200
He's like God, no sin. 
Just like the DNA of God, he's 

645
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:38,600
not God himself, but he is in 
the likeness of God, in essence,

646
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,200
he's the little King of the 
earth, and God is the king of 

647
00:42:42,500 --> 00:42:46,400
Everything. 
And through that relationship, 

648
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:51,200
atom is ruling here as God rules
all creation. 

649
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:57,200
Are you hearing me? 
So he tells this son of his, he 

650
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,500
said now, Adam, you can eat from
any tree of the garden but of 

651
00:42:59,500 --> 00:43:01,900
the tree of the knowledge of 
Good and Evil, you shall not eat

652
00:43:01,900 --> 00:43:05,200
for the day. 
You eat, you will surely die. 

653
00:43:06,500 --> 00:43:10,900
Okay, so we are introduced to a 
Thing Called Death. 

654
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:21,800
Death exists. 
Only if acted upon it exists in 

655
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,700
this realm, only if acted upon 
death exists because in another 

656
00:43:25,700 --> 00:43:28,900
realm, death has occurred, are 
you hearing me? 

657
00:43:29,700 --> 00:43:32,700
Because there's a guy by the 
name of Lucifer, we call him the

658
00:43:32,708 --> 00:43:34,700
Devil. 
He's already rebelled against 

659
00:43:34,700 --> 00:43:39,700
God's word and when you do not 
do, God's word, its death. 

660
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:48,300
Adam did not do God's word. 
It opened up, death death. 

661
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:54,200
Occurred because an action 
occurred the action. 

662
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:58,100
Romans 5:5 says, that this way 
through one man's transgression 

663
00:43:59,300 --> 00:44:04,000
sin, Now, what is sin? 
Sin is simply disobeying God at 

664
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:11,800
his word doing the opposite. 
Are you hearing me Romans tells 

665
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:16,800
us that sin has a wage? 
A wage. 

666
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,700
And again, because we made the 
Bible religious, we don't think 

667
00:44:20,700 --> 00:44:24,100
in these terms. 
But the reality is, Jesus came 

668
00:44:24,100 --> 00:44:28,800
for a financial transaction 
because a payment was owed 

669
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:33,700
because the father spoke and 
said, if this occurs death 

670
00:44:33,700 --> 00:44:39,600
occurs and death comes because 
it's actually a Wage of Sin but 

671
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:45,700
I can pay that way. 
I can pay it now, we can't pay 

672
00:44:45,700 --> 00:44:52,200
it, but God can pay it. 
So God says to his son, son. 

673
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:58,000
I'm going to have to make 
payment in order for man to be 

674
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,000
redeemed. 
Let's go back. 

675
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,800
Except for, in order for man to 
be born again. 

676
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:10,300
I'll first have to redeem him. 
I'm going to have to pay a 

677
00:45:10,300 --> 00:45:13,300
price. 
That's why I first Corinthians 

678
00:45:13,300 --> 00:45:18,300
6, says that we've been bought 
with a with a lot with a lot 

679
00:45:18,700 --> 00:45:25,200
with the what with the, what if 
he didn't pay a price for you, 

680
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:32,400
then you're not bought Now, 
let's think about buying. 

681
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:33,600
Can you bring me your water 
here? 

682
00:45:35,500 --> 00:45:44,700
Buying means I own it. 
Did you buy this? 

683
00:45:59,900 --> 00:46:01,700
I mean it wasn't a trick 
question. 

684
00:46:04,300 --> 00:46:08,700
I needed to know because the 
Water by Pastor Marcy, I bought 

685
00:46:10,300 --> 00:46:13,800
And we distribute water to areas
of service. 

686
00:46:14,300 --> 00:46:17,100
So I wasn't sure if this came 
from the ushers closet that 

687
00:46:17,100 --> 00:46:24,500
ultimately, I bought But you 
purchased it. 

688
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:35,200
Thank you. with that being said,
Andrew then what storage you go 

689
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,600
to. 
Okay, Costco, he went to Costco,

690
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,200
which means this was not a 
single serving. 

691
00:46:41,700 --> 00:46:44,300
He went to Costco, which it 
would never be a single serving 

692
00:46:44,300 --> 00:46:52,800
at Andrew's house anyway, he has
an army there, so in essence, 

693
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,800
then let's play this back. 
Imagine this with a lot of other

694
00:46:55,800 --> 00:47:02,600
bottles that Andrew put on a, 
you know at the cashier all 

695
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,400
these were here, she went 
through and hit a little bar 

696
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:12,500
code of that case of Water. 
It has a price at this point. 

697
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:18,900
Costco has Dominion. 
Of the water they rule it. 

698
00:47:19,300 --> 00:47:21,500
They can tell it where to be in 
the store. 

699
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,500
Are you hearing me? 
The water, doesn't tell the 

700
00:47:26,500 --> 00:47:28,100
owner where it goes on. 
What? 

701
00:47:28,100 --> 00:47:32,500
I'll the owner determines where 
the water goes and the owner 

702
00:47:32,500 --> 00:47:37,100
determines its price. 
Okay, so with that being said 

703
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:40,300
the owner then tells Andrew, 
this is the price. 

704
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:47,500
Now, if he wants to become lord 
of the zipper here bottle, he's 

705
00:47:47,500 --> 00:47:52,000
going to have to pay a price. 
Now, the water is paying no 

706
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:58,400
price, the waters just leaving 
one ruler to an is leaving one 

707
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,500
ruler to go to another ruler. 
It's not paying a price, but a 

708
00:48:02,508 --> 00:48:13,000
prices being paid the minute, he
pulls out the amount and gives 

709
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:17,800
the exchange. 
Now that case of water by All 

710
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:26,400
rights is under his authority. 
And this is what we want Jesus 

711
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:30,200
to do to us. 
We want Jesus to come to the 

712
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,400
store. 
We want him to come to Devil's 

713
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,200
territory. 
We want him to pick us up out of

714
00:48:36,208 --> 00:48:40,100
the devil's territory come and 
go through the cross, the blood 

715
00:48:40,100 --> 00:48:44,000
and pay the price. 
And but the many he gets to the 

716
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:49,600
blood, the cross you, we want 
him to set us down at the cross 

717
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:53,700
where to payments made and he 
goes on but leaves us there. 

718
00:48:54,700 --> 00:48:57,300
In essence. 
He leaves us just outside the 

719
00:48:57,300 --> 00:49:02,600
door of the kingdom of darkness.
Oh, you do, the cross is the 

720
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,700
door between Darkness and Light.
And so what we want is we want 

721
00:49:06,700 --> 00:49:10,800
him to buy us but he we want him
to leave us at the cross where 

722
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,200
we don't actually get used by 
him. 

723
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,800
We don't actually want him 
telling us what to do. 

724
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:27,800
We want us to leave us there. 
And then wait for the sweet. 

725
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:28,800
Bye. 
And bye. 

726
00:49:35,100 --> 00:49:39,100
When the reality is Jesus bought
and paid for you, he wants to 

727
00:49:39,100 --> 00:49:43,700
take you home to his kingdom, 
where then he has the right to 

728
00:49:43,700 --> 00:49:47,300
put you in a refrigerator, put 
you on a shelf, he has the right

729
00:49:47,300 --> 00:49:50,900
to distribute you to whomever. 
He wants to, because you are not

730
00:49:50,900 --> 00:49:54,100
the one calling the shot. 
He is why cuz he paid for you. 

731
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,900
So a lot of times when we have 
guests show up here you go, we 

732
00:50:01,900 --> 00:50:04,900
have water that we bring to a 
particular room that is 

733
00:50:04,900 --> 00:50:08,800
available for the the guest 
ministers and that means all 

734
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,100
those waters are saying today. 
I've been chosen to be used of 

735
00:50:12,100 --> 00:50:14,900
God, to be here to quench. 
Someone's thirst, should they 

736
00:50:14,900 --> 00:50:16,200
have need of it. 
And, you know what? 

737
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,300
I've brought bottles and they've
sent through a whole service and

738
00:50:19,300 --> 00:50:21,600
a never got open. 
Never got drank. 

739
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,300
And we put them on the shelf and
waited for the next time but 

740
00:50:24,300 --> 00:50:27,800
some Them say aww. 
Today's my day, the Lord use me 

741
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,100
and they began to refresh 
somebody. 

742
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,800
They didn't say, don't drink me.
I want to be used for the next 

743
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:41,000
minister. put me back on the 
Shelf, I don't ever want to come

744
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,800
out of this water this, this 
protective layer Of plastic 

745
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,700
know. 
We are to be used and we have to

746
00:50:52,700 --> 00:50:57,300
get Revelation that lordship 
means dad owns me. 

747
00:50:59,100 --> 00:51:02,200
And that's not - that's thank 
God. 

748
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,100
He owns me. 
Thank God, he purchased it. 

749
00:51:05,100 --> 00:51:09,100
He bought me. 
I'm not my own and I want to be 

750
00:51:09,100 --> 00:51:11,400
used of God. 
And to be used of God, you got 

751
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:16,800
to let him call the shots. 
Praise the Lord. 

752
00:51:17,100 --> 00:51:18,900
Can I close down with a few 
different things? 

753
00:51:18,900 --> 00:51:23,100
And we'll go praise the Lord. 
He said this First Peter chapter

754
00:51:23,100 --> 00:51:26,000
1, verse 19 and 20, knowing that
you were not redeemed with 

755
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,800
perishable things like silver 
and gold but with it, but your 

756
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,800
futile way of life inherited 
from your forefathers, from your

757
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,600
precious blood, as of a lamb, 
unblemished, and spotless the 

758
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,700
blood of Christ. 
The new living says it this way 

759
00:51:37,700 --> 00:51:41,800
for, you know, They God. 
Paid a ransom to save you from 

760
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,800
the empty life you inherited 
from your ancestors and the 

761
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:48,600
ransom was paid. 
He paid Was Not Mere gold or 

762
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,400
silver. 
It was the precious blood of 

763
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,500
Christ, the sinless Spotless 
Lamb of God. 

764
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,600
The message says that this way, 
it cost God plenty to get you 

765
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,400
out of that dead end 
empty-headed life, you grew up 

766
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:07,100
in, he paid with Christ sacred 
blood, you know, he died like an

767
00:52:07,100 --> 00:52:10,500
unblemished sacrificial. 
Lamb. 

768
00:52:13,700 --> 00:52:18,800
When we call him Lord, we can't 
call him Lord, and then choose 

769
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:25,400
maintain options. 
We cannot say he's Lord of my 

770
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,900
life and then say, I'll do what 
I want. 

771
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,000
Because you don't want Lord you 
want to savior, you want to get 

772
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,900
out of hell free card. 
You want you want to, I don't 

773
00:52:35,900 --> 00:52:40,900
want to go to hell, because I my
wrongdoing card, not a, I'm not 

774
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:48,300
hell's, not even my concern. 
Next week for Easter, I'm going 

775
00:52:48,300 --> 00:52:53,800
to show you in the word. 
Jesus is number one concern. 

776
00:52:57,100 --> 00:53:00,000
What he did not actually want a 
face. 

777
00:53:04,500 --> 00:53:09,400
What he didn't want to face. 
We're going to talk about it 

778
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,200
next week. 
Are you hearing me? 

779
00:53:13,500 --> 00:53:18,900
And here we are. 
We want to just not be in 

780
00:53:18,900 --> 00:53:21,700
trouble for all wrongdoing, but 
we still want to do our own 

781
00:53:21,700 --> 00:53:24,700
stuff. 
And the Lord is going to have 

782
00:53:24,700 --> 00:53:29,700
conflict with this because he's 
commissioned that we live in 

783
00:53:29,700 --> 00:53:35,800
such a way to show, for sure 
that we are, he's Lord Of Our 

784
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,900
Lives. 
First Peter 1, 14 through 16, 

785
00:53:37,900 --> 00:53:40,700
says, that this way. 
As obedient children do not be 

786
00:53:40,700 --> 00:53:44,300
conformed to the former lusts, 
which were in your ignorance but

787
00:53:44,300 --> 00:53:48,600
be like the holy one who called 
you be holy yourselves. 

788
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,600
Also in all your behavior 
because it is written. 

789
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,100
You shall be holy for. 
I am Holy the word. 

790
00:53:55,100 --> 00:53:58,300
Holy just means separated unto 
God. 

791
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:04,500
It means separated unto God. 
So you came out of a place to be

792
00:54:04,500 --> 00:54:09,100
with someone to be to come to 
something to engage. 

793
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,500
In an activity, a lifestyle of 
behavior. 

794
00:54:12,900 --> 00:54:16,400
His death burial. 
And Resurrection was not a. 

795
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,400
I don't want you to go to 
prison. 

796
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:23,800
His death burial and 
Resurrection was I want you back

797
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,800
in the position. 
God always intended you to be. 

798
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:31,200
And that was a son who obeyed 
and maintain life. 

799
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:39,000
And when Jesus becomes really 
Lord, then Sunday mornings, not 

800
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:43,800
a debate. 
Sunday morning is a planned, 

801
00:54:44,500 --> 00:54:51,500
concentrated action. 
A intentional moment. 

802
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,500
Now you know what this 
intentional moment looks like 

803
00:54:56,500 --> 00:55:05,100
cuz you do it on Monday. 
You set your alarm. 

804
00:55:06,300 --> 00:55:10,300
Okay. 
So who's really Lord? 

805
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:18,900
Monday morning or Sunday. 
Because at the end of the day, 

806
00:55:20,100 --> 00:55:22,400
all of us have time off. 
I get it. 

807
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,400
We have vacation time, sick, 
leave. 

808
00:55:26,100 --> 00:55:28,700
But you don't have any time you 
want time off. 

809
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:36,000
But we do this with the Lord. 
Sometimes I wish the Lord would 

810
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:41,000
actually give you sick. 
Leave I'm glad you joined my 

811
00:55:41,008 --> 00:55:43,900
church. 
You are allow your authorized 

812
00:55:43,900 --> 00:55:49,700
this many absences from service,
and I'll still bless your life, 

813
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,800
but once you get there is 
without pay. 

814
00:55:55,200 --> 00:56:00,700
But would it like a day without 
pay without Grace, without 

815
00:56:00,700 --> 00:56:04,500
favor, without Mercy, without 
protection. 

816
00:56:04,900 --> 00:56:09,300
Oh, you don't. 
But he doesn't, we're like that.

817
00:56:09,300 --> 00:56:11,700
Why? 
Because he's not a negotiator 

818
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,600
Jesus. 
Did not negotiate you? 

819
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:21,500
Oh, Jesus did not go to the 
devil and say, okay. 

820
00:56:22,700 --> 00:56:24,600
You got Dominion? 
I got it. 

821
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,100
I see it, right? 
Adam gave it to you. 

822
00:56:27,100 --> 00:56:29,100
Even, I mean, he admitted to 
Jesus. 

823
00:56:29,100 --> 00:56:31,900
He got it from and he said, look
at all this domain, it was given

824
00:56:31,900 --> 00:56:33,400
to me. 
She's like, yeah, I know Adam 

825
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:34,500
gave it to you. 
I got it. 

826
00:56:35,700 --> 00:56:37,000
He said, I'll give it to you. 
Okay. 

827
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:41,700
Let's talk about that. 
Let's negotiate Let's negotiate.

828
00:56:43,500 --> 00:56:47,800
You know, I understand that the 
wages of sin is death and dad 

829
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:49,200
says it's going to cost me my 
life. 

830
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,600
But can we negotiate? 
I want to drop this price a 

831
00:56:52,608 --> 00:56:54,200
little bit. 
I don't think these humans are 

832
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,900
really worth all that. 
I was kicking the tires the 

833
00:56:57,900 --> 00:56:59,700
other day around. 
A couple of man ain't worth 

834
00:56:59,700 --> 00:57:02,200
that. 
They beat up beat down. 

835
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:07,600
Come on right. 
I mean these people are wore 

836
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:09,300
out. 
I mean I'm really not getting a 

837
00:57:09,308 --> 00:57:13,700
good deal here. 
I mean, because I'm in love 

838
00:57:13,700 --> 00:57:17,100
bomb, I gotta put a brand new 
engine in, I mean, it's the 

839
00:57:17,100 --> 00:57:18,200
engines. 
No good. 

840
00:57:19,100 --> 00:57:20,200
I mean, I don't even 
functioning. 

841
00:57:20,900 --> 00:57:22,100
I mean, they're dead, is dead 
guy? 

842
00:57:22,100 --> 00:57:24,000
Mean they're dead? 
And I got to put something like,

843
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:25,200
I got to put a brand new engine 
in them. 

844
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,800
Gotta give him some power, and 
then I got to restore for the 

845
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:32,100
rest of their life, their mind. 
I mean, I have the overhauling 

846
00:57:32,100 --> 00:57:36,000
them their whole existence, so 
let's talk price. 

847
00:57:39,500 --> 00:57:45,500
How about that? 
No, the father says son, we 

848
00:57:45,508 --> 00:57:53,400
going to pay full price. 
We're not negotiating. full 

849
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:58,100
prices, you Because they're 
worth it. 

850
00:57:58,900 --> 00:58:00,800
This is what not they're worth 
it. 

851
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:06,400
My word is worth it and it'll 
give them access. 

852
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,800
Now in all I'm coming which 
means you're going to pour out 

853
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:14,200
your blood for payments for 
people's lives. 

854
00:58:14,300 --> 00:58:21,200
That will still not take it. 
By All rights, it will seem like

855
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:25,900
a wasted investment. 
You will not get the return. 

856
00:58:28,900 --> 00:58:31,300
You're not going to get the 
return on this investment. 

857
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,100
Think about that. 
Now for a moment Jesus. 

858
00:58:35,100 --> 00:58:39,400
Pours out his blood For All 
Mankind yet. 

859
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:45,600
The Bible says, hell's mouth, is
ever-widening Jesus himself says

860
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:49,500
wide. 
Is the gate that leads to death 

861
00:58:49,500 --> 00:58:54,600
and destruction and many are 
going into it and I'm paying the

862
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,700
price for them and I don't even 
get up. 

863
00:58:59,100 --> 00:59:06,100
But narrow is the gate that 
leads to life and few find it. 

864
00:59:07,500 --> 00:59:11,100
But how do you find it? 
He bought me. 

865
00:59:12,900 --> 00:59:16,500
He paid for me. 
He laid his life down for me. 

866
00:59:16,900 --> 00:59:20,800
He made a financial transaction 
paid in full for me. 

867
00:59:24,300 --> 00:59:27,800
He paid in full for me. 
How in the world am I going to 

868
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,100
go? 
She ate with my Lord and say can

869
00:59:30,100 --> 00:59:33,600
I give you a couple of Sundays? 
Can I give you a about five 

870
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,300
minutes of prayer? 
Can I give you a devotion on 

871
00:59:36,300 --> 00:59:39,000
Saturday? 
Can I just have time with you? 

872
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:44,400
Isn't that enough? 
Seriously, you want me to come 

873
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,700
to church? 
How often you've assigned me to?

874
00:59:46,700 --> 00:59:49,800
What church you? 
You want me to be where you want

875
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:51,100
me to do? 
What? 

876
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:03,000
but if he's Lord, This is what 
this sounds like, sure I'll do 

877
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,500
that. 
Yeah, I'm gonna do that. 

878
01:00:06,300 --> 01:00:09,400
Sure, I'll do that. 
Yes, I'm getting up. 

879
01:00:09,700 --> 01:00:11,600
You by says you tired. 
Shut up. 

880
01:00:11,700 --> 01:00:14,600
I'm getting up because I got 
blood has been paid for me. 

881
01:00:14,700 --> 01:00:17,300
My body is not my own. 
I'm gonna do this thing. 

882
01:00:17,300 --> 01:00:19,300
They called it corporate prayer,
Tuesday morning. 

883
01:00:19,300 --> 01:00:21,000
I'm there they call corporate 
prayer. 

884
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,800
Thursday morning, I'm there. 
It doesn't hinder my schedule. 

885
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,300
I'm showing up. 
Yeah, I'm gonna suffer a little 

886
01:00:26,300 --> 01:00:28,800
bit in sleep, but my God is able
to give me respite. 

887
01:00:28,900 --> 01:00:34,300
Beyond my capacity. 
Sure, he said to get their 

888
01:00:34,500 --> 01:00:38,300
corporate prayers at 9:30, then 
he told me to stay in service, 

889
01:00:38,300 --> 01:00:40,700
then he told me to go to Kingdom
Institute. 

890
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,600
Then he asked me to serve here, 
which means I got to make that, 

891
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:44,700
but it's okay. 
Why? 

892
01:00:44,700 --> 01:00:48,100
Because this first, its life, 
its life, he paid for me, he 

893
01:00:48,100 --> 01:00:50,200
bought me, he bought paid for 
me. 

894
01:00:50,300 --> 01:00:53,900
He poured his blood out for me. 
I mean he made a transaction and

895
01:00:53,900 --> 01:00:59,500
I will not be squandered part of
my Lord. 

896
01:01:00,700 --> 01:01:07,600
I value him. 
Because the price was great and 

897
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,400
I'm going to obey, I'm going to 
be holy. 

898
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:15,000
I'm gonna do what he says 
because he's Lord because I'll 

899
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:21,700
never be in the names of Luke 
644 I'll never be in the list of

900
01:01:21,700 --> 01:01:25,900
the names of Luke 644 when Jesus
says, why do you call me? 

901
01:01:25,900 --> 01:01:27,800
Lord, Lord, and do not do what I
say. 

902
01:01:32,100 --> 01:01:34,100
Why do you call me? 
Lord, Lord, and do not do what I

903
01:01:34,100 --> 01:01:36,500
say. 
Why do you call me? 

904
01:01:36,500 --> 01:01:38,300
Lord, Lord, and do not do what I
say. 

905
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:44,700
Why do you call me Lord and do 
not do what I say? 

906
01:01:47,700 --> 01:01:50,900
He said go and make disciples. 
Guess what he said to you before

907
01:01:50,900 --> 01:01:53,500
you even came in, you're going 
to have to study me. 

908
01:01:54,900 --> 01:02:00,300
In order to live for me, I'm not
just giving you conversion was 

909
01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:03,900
never the goal. 
The next goal is never to be 

910
01:02:03,900 --> 01:02:07,600
born again. 
I must say it again, the goal is

911
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:11,400
never to be born again. 
The goal was to become a child 

912
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:15,400
of God who fulfills their 
Destiny and follow the lord for 

913
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:25,100
eternity. 
We want God to pay for us. 

914
01:02:26,300 --> 01:02:33,600
And leave us in the store. 
Badger buys that water. 

915
01:02:34,500 --> 01:02:38,600
Takes it outside Costco and sets
it on the ground. 

916
01:02:40,700 --> 01:02:45,100
Two things are going to happen. 
Although he's the legal owner 

917
01:02:47,900 --> 01:02:52,200
either, someone sees him do it, 
recognize that he purchased it 

918
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,100
because he saw him in lung. 
Hangs out and watches him. 

919
01:02:55,100 --> 01:02:58,100
Leave Waits long enough to see 
if he comes back. 

920
01:02:58,700 --> 01:03:02,300
Then picks up the water and 
takes it and uses it in places. 

921
01:03:02,300 --> 01:03:09,700
It was never authorized. 
Or. 

922
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:16,100
No one touches it. 
And it's time to close Costco 

923
01:03:16,300 --> 01:03:22,200
and an employee steps out and 
sees and I even go further, he 

924
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:26,600
leaves the receipt on it. 
Proves that it's been paid for. 

925
01:03:31,500 --> 01:03:35,000
And they pick it up and they 
bring it right back in the store

926
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:39,000
to be under the authority of the
store once again, that it's 

927
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,700
already been purchased and not 
be there. 

928
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:49,100
There's many, who say Jesus 
saved me but they don't want to 

929
01:03:49,108 --> 01:03:54,600
leave the store, they just want 
to get right outside it. and I'm

930
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:59,300
telling you, the enemy is going 
to pick you back up and bring 

931
01:03:59,300 --> 01:04:05,300
you back in the store. even 
though there's a receipt that 

932
01:04:05,300 --> 01:04:11,400
says you've been paid for, 
because if he's only savior, 

933
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:18,700
Then lordship is optional. 
And you'll figure out how to 

934
01:04:18,700 --> 01:04:23,400
tell God how he is supposed to 
accept you and your behavior 

935
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:34,000
today. 
I believe were raising up people

936
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:37,500
in his church that he's building
that. 

937
01:04:37,500 --> 01:04:44,600
Say I will not be in the line. 
Where my king says, why do you 

938
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,200
call me? 
Lord, Lord, and do not do what I

939
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:52,100
say. 
I'm not getting in that Lon. 

940
01:04:54,600 --> 01:05:10,100
Because I'm not my own.
