Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast
from st. Augustine Florida.
Now, enjoy this message. Well, are you ready to receive
the word today? Amen.
Today I want to talk to you about separate and this is two
parts as I was studying this morning.
It's going to take us into next week.
And so I want to encourage you don't let Easter Sunday as most
call it we call it Resurrection, Sunday is your only time that
you're going to be here. Go ahead and come next week of,
we're going to follow up with this.
They meant. And so, we're talking about
being separated. And so I want to start over
Matthew chapter, 13 verses, T7, 250 because we're going
somewhere, I said we're going somewhere today, we're going to
show a little bit. Amen.
I believe that if you get Revelation, you'll want to shout
and it says it again. The Kingdom of Heaven is like,
the Kingdom of Heaven is like, you know, this is all Jesus.
Preached is the kingdom of God over 130 times.
He preached. The Kingdom of Heaven is like
this, and the kingdom of God is like that.
I mean, he was consumed with the kingdom, and sure he would be
since he's the king. Of the kingdom.
And he wanted people to know how his kingdom operates because at
the end, the only Kingdom that will remain is the Lord.
Can I get an amen? Daniel saw this in a, in the
dream, given to Nebuchadnezzar that this rock that was made
without hands would grow into a great mountain, and it would
take over the whole planet, it would crush every other form of
government, the only government that would remain was the
kingdom that God. God is setting up and don't, you
know, that kingdoms available today.
I said that kingdoms available today.
Well, how do we know it's available today?
How do we know it's not just a future event?
Now, when I say just a future event, it will manifest
physically. That is true.
There will be physical evidence of God's kingdom because Jesus
himself will come back to the Earth.
The New Jerusalem Will Come Out of Heaven to A New Earth.
So there will be physical. Cole evidence of his kingdom but
Jesus was telling his disciples when they say tell us about this
Kingdom Heats and I listened the it's not like here are there
like you're seeing it right now? It's within you.
How do we know it's within you? Because Jesus said, now, when
you pray, pray this way. Our father, whose father is that
your father? If Jesus is Lord, he's your
daddy to Our Father Who Art in Heaven.
That's where he lives. Hallowed Be Your Name.
Your Kingdom, your kingdom? Your kingdom, your will be on as
it is. So obviously the kingdom can
manifest in the earth now. It can manifest.
Now, it can manifest in character, it can manifest in
Behavior, it can manifest in demonstrations, it can manifest
in culture, it can manifest in power.
Come on. Are you with me?
Amen. So Jesus said in the Kingdom of
Heaven is like a Dragnet which was cast into the sea and
gathered in fish of every sort. When it was full men, dragged it
up on the beach and sit down and sort it out the good fish into
baskets. But the worthless ones, they
what they threw away. Next verse.
So we'll be at the clothes and consummation of the age, the
angel, say the Angels, say the Angels, the angels will go forth
and separate the wicked from The righteous.
Who's going to separate the wicked from the righteous?
Who's gonna do it, who's gonna do this, the Angels, those who
are upright and in right-standing with God.
That's the righteous and cast them.
The wicked into the furnace of fire.
There will be weeping and wailing and grinding of teeth.
Now, I'm just going to drop something on you.
I'm not going to expound on it, but I want to help you a little
bit. Jesus comes twice.
Three times actually, first he came born of the Virgin Jesus In
the Flesh. We call his name, what?
Jesus? But we know Jesus is going to
return for his church, but when he returns for his church, he's
not coming to the planet. He'll be in the air.
The Bible says will be caught up together with him in the air
caught up together with him. We're in the air.
Now, when he comes back, angels will come with him.
But there's another time he'll come and put his foot down.
Now, when he comes back to the planet, the Bible says his
Saints will come with him. So this Parable is not the
beginning of a millennial reign. All right, this is the catching
away of the church. I said it's the catching away of
the church. And so, when the Angels come,
they are on assignment because God knows who are the Righteous
and who are the wicked. Because when it says, furnace of
fire or wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Do you understand? The tribulation period, will not
be a great place. We all assume that's hell.
But the Bible has much to say about the tribulation and there
will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
There's a second death called the Lake of Fire and that's
later, are you hearing me, alright?
So, we see, the kingdom of God is going to separate things.
The word. Separate means to mark off from
others by boundaries. I'm gonna say that again, it
means to mark all from others by boundaries to limit.
Now that doesn't mean you're technically limited it Means you
limit access. Are you a limit things from
affecting you? You set the limit.
Come on, I said you set the limit, you put up the boundary,
it means to separate. So, in a bad sentence, the word
separate here would be to exclude, which means you can be
on the opposite side, a separate the bad side, which means you're
excluded, they're going to people be people excluded from
being called up, They're going to be excluded, are you hearing
me in a bad sense? They're going to know something
took place. They're going to know that that
that the Lord pulled his on and they're going to be surprised
they didn't go. All right.
They're going to be surprised. Amen.
They're going to be excluded but in the good sense it means this.
It means to a point set apart for some purpose and we want to
talk about the good side today. Can I get an amen?
So Jesus says now listen I'm going to separate.
I'm going to create a boundary Amen.
I want my people set apart. There's a difference between my
people and the devil's people. There's a difference.
There's a difference between my people And the devil's people
are you hearing me? Let me put it this way.
Maybe we should go ahead and read it.
Second Corinthians 5:17. I just is coming up in my
spirit. I believe that's where it says,
that we are a new creature in Christ, right?
Put that up there on the board because I need to see this.
Amen, second Corinthians, 5:17, many understand this that
there's only two races of people.
There's only two, all right, there are many tribes and
Nations, but there's only two races, there are many tribes.
Herbs and Nations but there are only two races.
Okay. Second Corinthians 5:17.
Come on, y'all. Put it up because I'm gonna hold
out till you get it there. Listen, what it says.
Therefore, if conditional statement, anyone is in the king
Christ, he is a what, what is he, what is he new?
Say new? Say new, he's a new creation.
Old say old say old old things have passed away.
Behold All Things become. You're either a new creature or
an old one is only two races, the old creature and the new
one. In fact, the Bible calls us a
new man, doesn't call us a black man.
Doesn't call us a white man. Don't call us a brown man.
Don't call us again red man. Don't call us at yellow man.
Calls us a new man, you either new man.
Are you an old man? You either new or old?
Period and Paul. In his writing, I could go
anymore, says, I don't even regard man of cording to the
flesh anymore. When it comes down to it,
there's only two races of people.
Those that are children of the devil and those that are
children of God and God knows who are his I said, he knows who
are his because they think different, they act different,
they behave different, they function different They're no
longer bound to this outside, temporal World.
They live a totally different way, and it becomes transparent
to the world. With that being said, turn over
to Second Corinthians, chapter 6, verse 14 to 18.
Come on, let's get some shout on.
I'm going to read some of this out of passion translation
today. It says yes.
In fact let me just say this, somebody I heard said that the
passion translation was of the devil.
Well that's ignorance. First of all, all translations
you should read multiple translations at the end of the
day. Okay.
And again, if you read multiple translations, then you'll keep
yourself in a place of truth. Cause here's the thing, the holy
spirit is the spirit of truth, right?
And it's amazing, how people will become so asinine that all
of a sudden if you read one thing and they want to build a
Doctrine on something, when the reality is, none of them are
reading it in the original Greek nor will.
They sets it seated with the actual Apostles when they were
pinning it by the Holy Ghost, you have the Holy Ghost to end
you because I could go to multiple other translations.
Say that's not really a good translation when you go back to
the Greek or you look at it here and so God lets us know, if man
started to, you know, adjust it based upon his Doctrine or not.
Not, he tells us where we can't be intimidated in this capacity
but this passion translation actually got a lot, right?
And you know why they don't like it.
I can tell you why because it's a little too Kingdom Minded for
them. Because they like their religion
instead. Alright, so with that being
said, don't continue to team up with unbelievers in mismatched
alliances. For what partnership is there
between righteousness and Rebellion, who could mingle
light with Darkness? What Harmony can there be
between Christ and Satan? Let me go back up to verse 14.
Don't continue to team up with unbelievers in mismatch
alliances. The Amplified at the beginning
of this verse says it this way, classic translation says, do not
be unequally yoked with unbelievers, do not make
mismatched mated alliances with them or come under a different
joke with them. Inconsistent, with your faith.
Inconsistent. With your faith.
Inconsistent with your faith? The world's got nothing on me.
I said the world's got nothing on me.
This is why Paul saying listen we don't have mismatched
alliances with the world because we're not of the world anymore
he goes on to say in verse 14 or verse 16.
What friendship does God's Temple have with demons for
indeed? We are the Temple of the Living.
God, come on. Can I get a shout of Praise?
You are the Temple of the Living God.
You know I'm so tired of religious Christianity and the
traditions of religion that that Saints who have called on the
name of the Lord are waiting to be with God and God's like
don't, you know, I'm in you. I mean you I mean how close as
can we get I moved in? I moved in.
I mean I took up residence on the inside of you.
You are the Temple of the Living God.
Hallelujah! My mama!
He goes on. And says is just as God said, I
will make my home. Oh man, in them and walk it, we
trying to go to heaven and the Lord's like I moved in Are you
hearing me? We're like, I can't wait to get
to heaven and see Jesus. Well, I want to see him
face-to-face to but I hear him. His spirit is in me.
He talks to me, he spends time with me.
His say nature is in me. Wow.
And I don't have to be personally present in his
presence physically speaking. His presence came to me.
Hallelujah. For, I will make my home in them
and we want to make our home in heaven, the Lord's.
Like I'm already in you. Why are you waiting on me?
And walk among them. I will be their God and they
will be what my people whose people whose people your.
His people don't be talking about my people unless he or his
people. There's new people and there's
old people and we have the New Breed.
I said we're of the New Breed Hallelujah.
He says this. For this reason come out from
among them and be what What separate, right?
He's separating us. Come out from among them and be
separate separate says the Lord touch nothing.
That is unclean and I will embrace you.
Aye, aye. I will be a true father to you
and you will be my beloved Son and Daughter says the Lord
Yahweh Almighty. Now, here's the thing we stop
here and we think then God's finished with this discourse but
the reality is the first verse of the 7th chapter is a
continuation of This comment of this whole dialogue that we just
read here in second Corinthians, chapter, 6, starting what verse
14. So let me pick back up and 18
and then we're going to slide on over into the seventh chapter.
He said, let me go back to 17 for this reason come out from
among them and be separate says the Lord touch nothing, that is
unclean and I will embrace you. I, Oh, Hallelujah.
Okay, yeah, I'll say it then for this reason, come out from among
them and be separate says, the Lord touch, nothing, that is
unclean condition, meet the condition and I will embrace
you. All right, I will be a true
father to you, and you will be my beloved Sons.
And Daughters says, the Lord Yahweh Almighty beloved ones
with promises like these and because of our deepest respect
and worship of God. God.
We must remove everything from our lives that contaminates,
body, and spirit, and continue to complete the development of
Holiness within us. Are you hearing me?
So when God says separate, basically, he is calling you to
do. What he wants us all to be in
the world. It's called.
Holy go ahead and look, you never say, holy go ahead and
say, holy Now, holy is not perfect without fail, but holy
is separated unto God. And it's obvious, are you hear
me now? Why is it that we could do this?
Have you not? Do you not remember in Romans
chapter 8 verse 10 and 11? It says.
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but
the spirit is life because of righteousness.
See when we got born again, we became the the became the
righteousness of God in Christ. Our spirit man was made, right?
It's a new man. It's not the old man.
It's not a reconstructed. Oh man, it's a brand new species
of being all together. In fact, it's the original
species, it's the species that was breathed into the nostrils
of Adam. It was a spirit of dominion.
It was a Son of God, I knew how to rule and Reign.
That was one who can have dominion over the sin round.
Who had the ability to say, No to things that were contrary to
the word of God. Amen.
He put back in us. Our original spirit that God
always intended for man then he threw the Holy Ghost on the
inside cause verse 11 says but if the spirit of him who raised
Jesus from the dead dwells in, you does the same spirit that
raised Christ from the dead dwell.
Does he dwell within you? Well man.
What excuse do we have, when you've got the third person of
the godhead living on the inside.
He went, he got in bed with you, last night and helped you get
sweet sleep. He heals your body, he restores
your mind, you gives you peace beyond your understanding.
He is dishing out fruit constantly.
Oh my, he's the great comforter, he's The Advocate, The Stand by
the strengthener. I mean, that's right here.
Come on, hit your chest safe right here.
He's right here, right here on the inside.
Amen. Hallelujah.
Glory to his name. I'll say glory to his name.
Then after today. You understand you'll be
excited. When you're caught up together
with him, I get it, you know, to be with the Lord as far better.
I Stand to be removed from any form of rebellion.
I understand that. But when you know who you are in
Christ, and what he has separated you from that even
though your SKU still see it, you're like it don't affect me.
Cuz I'm a race. That is new.
Come on. Look at First Peter chapter 1.
First Peter chapter 1, man. I just want to read scripture
today. I didn't want it to resonate.
I want it to wash over your mind.
Oh man. I wanted to see you changed and
transformed, Hallelujah. First Peter chapter. 14, verses
1 through 24. Can we see this together?
It says, this, as obedient children do not be conformed to
the former lusts. Which were yours in your
ignorance but like the holy one, who called you be holy
yourselves. In all say all say all in all
your behavior because it is written, you shall be holy for.
I am Holy if you address as father.
The one who impartially judges according to each one's work.
Conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on
Earth. Knowing that you were not
redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your
futile way of life inherited from your forefathers boat, with
what the precious blood, as of a lamb, unblemished, and spotless
the blood of Christ for he was foreknown before the foundation
of the world, but has appeared in these last times, for the
sake of you who threw him or Believers in God, who raised him
from the dead? And gave him glory.
So that your face say My Faith and Hope are in God.
Hallelujah, hallelujah. Now this word, holy means this.
It means separate from common condition and use Go ahead and
look at your neighbor and say I'm not coming anymore.
No, you're not common anymore. Not common, you're dedicated.
The Lord has dedicated you. I said he's dedicated.
You, he's dedicated you for a specific purpose.
He's dedicated you to do something great.
He's dedicated you because he's put his spirit in you and your
different race of people. He has separated you from that,
which separated you. He has separated you from that,
which separated you are. You hearing me?
Let me read this out of the message.
The message says it this way. Don't lazily slip back into
those old grooves of evil doing just what you feel like doing.
I'm resisting the urge to preach here.
Hallelujah. Oh my mama, don't lazily slip
back into those old grooves of evil.
Now in our own nature. Those grooves were easy.
Those grooves are what we did. Those grooves are how we ran.
We didn't know any better. It was our nature.
We had to, we were bound to a shackle do it.
We were stuck in it. We were oppressed by a
tyrannical, ruler who kept us down, beat down victims of his
system and his way of life we were doomed.
We were in destruction and he says, don't you lazily slip back
into that Groove, why? Cause you were proficient at the
examining situations that way. Looking at situations that way
reasoning, that way determining how you were going to respond
that way. I mean you got muscle memory on
how to go that way. But God I said, but God.
So we don't live like, how we feel.
He says, as obedient children, let yourself be pulled into a
way of life shaped by God's life.
A life energetic and blazing with what Holiness?
Say, Holiness, say, Holiness. Come on say, Holiness.
Say Holiness. God said, I am Holy you be holy.
I am Holy you be holy, I am. Holy you be holy and your
without excuse, when he's your Lord because he put in you a
spirit that already is wholly righteous separated set apart a
new species of being and can hear the Holy Ghost who moved
in. Who moved in and bears witness
with your spirit. You are a child of God, man.
I wish I could get some Smiles around here.
Oh man it's amazing looking at some of y'all's expression.
I don't feel like I can crack a smile out of some of y'all I
feel like I might start slapping some of y'all just slap a smile
on you. I mean it's like always so deep
in thought. I mean it's like when they going
to get free, I mean it just kind of messes.
How would this not put you in a smile?
And mo like my god, I've been set free man, he set me free,
I'm a whole new species of big guys on the inside.
Guys. On the is, you know, the guys on
the inside of me, he's on either side of me, that's used only
inside of me. God is only inside of me.
I got up in here. God is up here.
Right here. He goes with me.
He wants to me. He calls three my gosh man.
An that just make you smile. Now, obviously, if you're not
born again, you're going to be like Because you don't know this
energetic life wherein. Oh my mama, go ahead and tried
everybody. Just go get your dimple out.
I don't have dimples try, put your finger in it.
Then stick it in your cheek. All right, he said you called
out to God for help and he helps he's a good father that way.
But don't forget, he's also responsible father.
I wish we could get that 10. We like good father, but he's a
responsible father, he's responsible.
I said he's responsible. He, let his kids at like,
hellions. He let his kids are like,
hellions. He gonna come and talk to you.
He gonna come soon. The Holy Ghost to spend some
time with you. He will say what you doing, son?
Anyhow, you live that he has, you conquered then how you
overcome and now you say no more, he's responsible and don't
let and won't let you get by with sloppy living and you need
to learn that word when you get around your brother and sister
crutches, se you being sloppy right now, better watch out you
being sloppy, Right now, talking to me like that saying, those
kinds of words you being sloppy, when I was, how I feel you being
sloppy. He made me.
He said, don't get your old grooves where you can do what
you feel but I'm feeling it will you better feel something else?
Hey man. Hallelujah, don't keep standing.
I'll keep preaching. All right says your life is a
journey. You must travel with deep
consciousness of God it cost God plenty to get you out of the
dead-end empty-headed life you grew up in.
He called him plenty please and we got people want to trample on
the blood. It cost him plenty to get you up
out of your hip tea. Headed daddy in life testing for
the like a fire. Oh ma All right, Glory, I'll say
Glory. He calls him.
Plenty, he paid with Christ sacred blood, you know, he died
like an unblemished sacrificial lamb and this was no
afterthought even though it was only later at the end of the age
has become public knowledge. God always knew he was going to
do this for you is because of this sacrificial Messiah, that's
the Hebrew word for the king whom God, then From the dead and
glorified that you trust God. And that, you know, you have a
future in God. Come on.
Do you know you have a future? Do you know you have a future?
Oh, we're getting somewhere. Can I just keep reading the
word? All the word is good.
I mean, don't you want Jesus to talk to you, anyway.
John chapter 17. John chapter 17 starting in
verse 14. He says this.
Jesus. Now says I have given them your
message. Yeah, and that's why the
unbelieving world hates them. That's why they hate you.
I said that's why they hate you. That's why the unbelieving world
hates you. Hate you.
For their allegiance, is no longer to this world because I
am not of this world. He said, I'm not asking you to
remove them from the world. Now, why do I go here?
Because he said come out from among them and be separate.
Well, we can't come out from the world in the context.
We can't live. This is why everyone who took
that scripture and God off dr. Lee and started building their
own little compound and don't want to have nothing to do with
the world and I ostracize themselves from the world and
try to create their own little Heaven compound, mrs.
What God's saying? Jesus Christ walked among
Sinners. And yet, it did not affect
affect him. He just have the Revelation.
I'm not of them. Their Daddy has nothing on me.
They're dead. He has nothing on me cuz I'm not
from their daddy. My daddy is in heaven.
My daddy's father God. I don't look like them out.
Like them respond. Like them.
I'm in the same suit. They are.
And I have the same Temptations. They do, but I'm A different
race. I'm different and though I could
choose to go down the same path. They went down.
I will not. I will obey my daddy.
I will only do what my father says.
So he's saying father, I'm not asking you to take them out of
the world. Even though they're not of it,
they don't have to leave the planet.
I said you don't have to leave the planet, you just need
revelation. Of who you are in Christ and
what he paid for. The payment Jesus Paid for was
not heaven, was not heaven, I said it was not heaven, Jesus
died for my sins so that pay died and his blood, paid the
price for my sins. So when I die, I get to go to.
That is not why he did that, that's religion.
No, Jesus said I've come to destroy the works of the devil.
He did not say I came to take you to heaven.
Come on somebody. I said, come on somebody, I
guess we got some religion in here but that's alright, I'll
deal with it. No, he said I came to destroy
the works of the devil, the devil ain't in heaven.
I said, the devil ain't in heaven, the devil, when he was
trying to overthrow heaven got kicked out.
I'm said he got kicked out. Are you hearing me?
Yeah. Why.
Because what he did in heaven was against the law was against
the nature of God, was against the character of God was against
the Of God. And God says, this does not stay
in my Realm. Jesus said, I saw Satan fall,
eyeliner from Heaven. I saw that with my own two eyes.
I was there it was quick. I mean he showed up like talking
and dad was like, you've gone. That's it.
Like wow. Hallelujah.
So he says listen I'm not asking you.
To remove them from this world but I ask that you guard their
hearts from Evil for. They are no longer belonging to
the world. Any more than I do, your word is
truth. So make them Holy by the truth,
the Amplified of the 17th. Verse says it this way classic
version, sanctify them purify, consecrate, separate them for
yourselves, make them Holy by the truth.
Your word is truth. Verse 18.
I have commissioned them. Them say I've been Commissioned.
I have commissioned them to represent me.
To represent me. Now, my religious Christian stop
there. But there's a condition on how
you represent, okay? I have commissioned them to
represent me, how just as you commissioned me to represent
you, so you can't represent Jesus.
If you're not representing him the same way he represented, the
father, you can't do it. Which means Jesus represented,
the father by only doing what he says and resisting.
All forms of Temptation. Conquering them, beating them
down being more than a conqueror over.
Every time they showed up, it is written.
It is written. It is written.
It's not my character. That's not my character, that's
not my lifestyle, that's not my nature.
It's not my nature, so you're going to represent Jesus.
You're going to have to come into the world and say, wait a
minute, I can't do that. That's not my nature.
That's not my daddy saying, no, it is written.
He said and now I decided to dedicate myself and now I
dedicate myself to them as a holy sacrifice so that they will
live as fully dedicated to God. And be made Holy by your truth.
Do you understand? We have the capacity, the
capacity. You need to go back.
Listen to Wednesday, the capacity to be fully dedicated,
not partially. Not 3/4, not 99.9.
Well, I'm just human. I'm in a human suit but I'm not
just human. I said I'm in a human suit, but
I'm not just human. I am a new man.
My nature is in Christ. My nature is in the king.
My nature is like, God, my nature is in the first atom, in
the context of having Dominion before he fell.
He says this and I ask not only for these disciples but they but
come on, you're in the butt. But also, for all, say all all
those who will one day come on, did you have a one day?
I said, did you have a one-day who will one day believe in me
through their message? He said, I pray for them all to
be joined together as as one, even as you and I father are
joined together as Mama, I pray for them to become one with us.
Why? So that the world will recognize
that you sent me. There is more opportunity for
the world to be saved when we live how we were created in
Christ. When we live.
Who are we? I said, who are we?
Who are we first Peter 2:9? I'm setting you up.
I know. Hallelujah. 1st Peter chapter 2
starting verse 9. He says this, but you are a, not
a white race, not a black race. Not a Hispanic race, red race,
green race from Mars. Come on.
No, your chosen which tells me then there's only two races of
people. There's the Chosen and the
unchosen, The Chosen, and the rebellious, there's the new who
are chosen. There's the old who are
rebellious And in the rebellious race.
The old race. There's every tribe tongue and
Nation. But God being rich in his Mercy,
gave to all those tribes tongues and Nations.
The ability to call on the name of the Lord and to become a new
race. And in the new race, The Chosen
race, there's every tight tribe tongue and Nation.
What identify as us? It can't be what we look like on
the outside. Can't be from where we came
from. Can't be from how we were
raised. Can't be from what's going on in
our lives. No, there's only one thing that
is to identify. If I us and that is, are we in
Christ or not? Are we under and through and
past the blood or not? Are we living in Oneness with
the Lord? Are we separated from that?
Which separated us. Well I'm coming to it but you
are a chosen race, a royal priesthood I'm looking at
royalty today a holy a holy a holy now ears.
Every tribe tongue and nation that turns into one nation.
A people for God's Own possession.
So that you may proclaim the excellencies of him.
Oh, my mama who has called you out of what Darkness into his
marvelous life for it. You weren't.
We're not a people. You were not a people.
But now you are thee, your thee people not a people, you thee
you to people you see p the people of God you had not
received Mercy but now you have received Mercy.
Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from
fleshly lusts, which wage war against the soul, keep your
behavior, excellent among the Gentiles.
So that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers,
they may Because of your good deeds.
Meaning you just keep showing up in your lifestyle and character
of a king. as they observe your, kingliness your Holiness, your
righteousness, your sanctification, They will
glorify God in the day of visitation.
Let's read it out of the message.
Message says it this way, but you are the ones chosen by God,
chosen for the High Calling of Priestly work, chosen to be a
holy people, God's instrument to do his work and speak out for
him to tell others of the night and day difference.
He made in your life from nothing.
To something from rejected to accept it Holla.
Have we forgotten that we were rejected?
We were nothing. We were in darkness, but God
being rich in his Mercy, the day we call on his name.
He transferred from the domain of Darkness into the kingdom of
his beloved Son. Darkness became light rejection
became accepted bondage, turned into freedom.
Friends, this world is not your home, so don't make yourself
cozy in it. Don't indulge your ego at the
expense of your soul. Live an exemplary life among the
natives so that your actions will refute their prejudices,
then they will be one over to God sod and be there to join in
the celebration when he arrives. Oh, Glory to his name, I say
glory to his name. Y'all doing.
All right man. I'm tracking today.
I'm tracking. Here we go, Ephesians chapter 4.
Separated, man. I don't know if you've seen it
yet, but we fixing to bring connect all the dots that in
reference to your former manner of life.
You lay aside the old self. Which is being corrupted in
accordance with the lusts of Deceit.
And that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind and put on
the new self and put on, come on, hit your neighbors.
Say put on man, if you were at Good Friday, service eyes get
hit when Revelation came, you need to hit your neighbor, go
ahead, hit your neighbor, say put it on but my God man, put it
on, put it on, put on the new self.
What is the new South which is in the lightness of?
Do you know, God doesn't struggle with sin. which is in
the likeness of God and has been created in righteousness and
Holiness of the truth Oh my mama.
Oh my mama. Thank you, Jesus, Ephesians
4:30. I got so much to say, but if I
say it, I'll have to end service.
If he's just 43230 to jump down there, to Passion says it this
way, the holy spirit of God has sealed you and Jesus Christ
until you experience your full salvation.
So never grieve the spirit of God or take for granted his holy
influence in your life. See, that's why the previous
verse he says you got to lay aside the old put on the new.
Now let's break this down. That means when you confess
Jesus as Lord, you became a new man and the Holy Ghost moved in
and then spoke to your spirit says, you're a child of God,
you're a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, You
different now. So we go have to go get your
mind, right? Because you're not walking like
a king, you're not talking like a king, you're not responding
like a king your of kingly bloodline and I'm here to help
you wash your mom with the word. What was once not, you are not
able to hear or discern, I am here to turn the light on What
you wants couldn't do when you encounter something in the
Earth, because you could not reason it differently.
I have moved in to help you reason it differently and to
give you a Heavenly response, a kingly response, a chosen race
response. Are you hearing me?
So every time the holy spirit says, hope that's not us.
Don't grieve him by saying no I'm going to do that anyway but
that's your old self talking and he don't live here no more.
That's your old self talking and she don't live here no more.
We've picked it her. Remember your life's?
Not your own? So you think is not your own and
you need to hear me and do what I say.
Because I'm giving you life, you don't feel like life right now
what you're telling me to do its life, The holy spirit of God has
healed you and Jesus Christ, until you experience your full
salvation. So never grieve the spirit of
God or take for granted his holy influence in your life.
I'm surprised how many people take for granted His holy
influence in their life. You know, I read when I want to
pray when I want to go to church when I want to lay Assad.
Now, you got to do this. This is not a spirit issue.
This is a sole issue. Emotions situational
circumstances that has happened in your life time.
God does not erase your memory, although he forgets your sin.
But he gives you the power to overcome your old thinking.
Why he's trying to separate your old way of doing things so that
you can be separated to do it his way.
He says, lay aside better worse. Temper, tantrums revenge
profanities and insults, but instead be what kind And
affectionate towards one. Another has God graciously
forgiven, you then graciously forgive one another in the
depths of Christ's love. Now, there's a comparison here
and he's saying, I listened, he said, now you got to get rid of
this bitter words, she got going on right here.
All right, you got to let that go.
You got to get rid of your temper, tantrums, your revenge
or profanity and insults. Which means when you feel like
having bitter words, when you feel like having a temper
tantrum, when you feel like taking Revenge when you feel
like profanity, T is coming up out of your mouth right now.
When you fight cussing, this thing through, are you hearing
me when you want to insult? Somebody that means the occasion
is there when you were the old man.
It has resurfaced in your life, but yet on the inside, he says,
let's do it this way, instead. Let's just go ahead and be kind.
Let's go ahead and have some affectionate towards the other.
Let's just go ahead. Remember, when you were in a
drunken stupid with the world and in darkness, you acted like
that. And God.
Forgave, you, son. You can be patient with this
person right now. You don't have to, you aren't
them. Anymore.
So you don't respond like how big.
Oh no you different. If you start cussing like they
cuss what they deserve it, everybody deserves to go to hell
be thrown into the Lake of Fire but God, forgave you now you
different. I said you different quit acting
like your old self. All right, I'm fixing to help
you out. Once again, we read this passage
and we think all we done but yet it goes right into the fifth
chapter. It carries on.
So with that being said, I'm going to go back a few verses
and let's read it again. I'm Startin 31, lay aside,
bitter, worse, temper tantrum Revenge profanity and insults.
But instead be kind of affection towards one.
Another has God graciously forgiving, you think,
graciously, forgive one another. In the depths of Christ's love.
Be imitators of God, in in, in, in, in, in you do?
Well, now in this situation, I should be to do what I want.
Be imitators of God in everything you do for.
Then you will represent your father as his beloved Sons.
Condition is conditional. Be imitators of God in
everything you do for them. so, if you're not imitating, God in
everything you do, Then you are not representing your father as
a son and daughter. Now that doesn't mean you're not
his son or daughter. Oh, y'all don't want it.
That when my kids make a mistake doesn't mean they're not my
kids, but they sure him representing our value.
They're not representing how we are to live.
How weird is Van how weird Act Now, you may be my son but
you're not represent me. So, you can't go in just
represent any way. You want her represent.
Not like you're a child of God and God's happy about it.
All right, praise the Lord. There's a Lord O My Soul.
All right, I'm ready to shut it down and continue to walk
surrendered to the extravagant Love Of Christ for he
surrendered his life as a sacrifice for us.
His great love for us was pleasing to God like an aroma.
Adoration a sweet, healing fragrance, and have nothing.
To do with sexual immorality, lust, or Greed for.
You are his holy ones? You're separate.
You got a boundary. And you said it sexual morality
couldn't control you. I was full of lust had to do it.
Oh Hallelujah, but now you can set a boundary.
I said you can set a boundary All right, he says this, you are
his holy ones and let no one be able to accuse you of them in
any form guard. Your speech for sake of Senate,
he's and worthless insults. These are nonsensical words that
bring disgrace and are unnecessary instead.
Let instead meaning, all those things are going to show up in
your mind. Going to tempt you again.
But he says, instead, let worship feel your heart and
spill out. And in your words for it has
been made clear to you already that the kingdom of God cannot
be accessed by anyone, who is guilty of sexual sin, or who is
in Pure or greedy for greed in s in the essence of idolatry, how
could you, they expect to have an inheritance in Christ's
Kingdom while doing Those things.
Cuz our father is responsible. Thank you Father.
He's responsible. Drop down to verse 15, verse 15,
says it this way. So be very careful how you live.
Not being like those when no understanding but live honorably
with true. Wisdom for we are living in evil
times where we live in an evil Tom's but we can man, have true.
Wisdom live honorably take full advantage.
Come on, say, take full of banter.
Take full advantage of every day.
As you spend your life for his for whose purpose, not yours.
But his, then he goes on and says, and don't live foolishly
For then you will have discernment to fully understand
God's will. So that's condition if you don't
live, foolishly means living like you used to live then
you'll have no problem Discerning God's will but if you
live in like he used to live then you struggling with trying
to figure out God's will. Oh my mom, he said and don't get
drunk with wine. Which is rebellion instead, be
filled with the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
Praise the Lord. Now I got a Bonus scripture, I
put on my notes. If I have enough time read, and
I have enough tongue. I mean, it's so early is going
to shock your mind. Don't look at your watch.
Romans chapter 6. Put up Romans chapter 6.
I'm going to do The New American Standard.
I'm going to go verses 1 through 11.
Romans chapter 6, verse 1 through 11.
We can bring this thing home now, connect, all the dots talk
about being separated, God has made you holy, he has separated
you from that which separated you You're either in the bad
sense of separate are, you're in the good sense?
One of the other, if you're in the bad sense, you're excluded.
What makes you think that you could live a life?
Just like the world and going to have access to the kingdom of
God? I know what they say.
Well, now pastor, this is not works brother.
I couldn't do anything to get saved.
I can't do anything to stay saved.
Well, you don't read your Bible? Jesus paid a price to give you
access into something. Then made you somebody with the
Holy Ghost and it's not to be toyed with and he's very
responsible about that. So you can allow your flesh to
deceive you that you can live any old way, you want to and get
in but Dad is not having irresponsible children show up.
I'm telling you. Pastor, we can't get that.
You have a lot to say about a lot.
It's amazing. How religion will take your free
will go and pull it away from you.
Tell me what sin did Adam have. God breathed into him, the
Breath of Life, he's perfect man in the image of God.
Did God said let us make man in our image, according to our
likeness. Do you think Adam was in the
image of God and his likeness? Do you think he was without sin?
Do you think he was wholly? Do you think he was righteous?
You think he was pure? Do you think he could have went
to heaven? Anytime?
He wanted to sure he could have there was no hindrances, but God
didn't need him to come to Heaven.
Cause God came down. I mean he was moving around
doing the will of God, no problem.
How did he let go of that? His Free Will denounce.
The Lord, I won't do what you say.
Oh, y'all want to hear this? That's fine.
I mean, it's YouTube right now. That's all right.
You can turn it off. You don't have to listen to it,
right? Because you want your religion,
anyway. But if you want the truth of God
then you'll know who you what you've been separated from in
the power, you actually have and you'd be like I'm tired of being
this deadhead life, you know, and making excuses for me to
live fleshly. Look at the end of the day,
living flesh, he still stinks, it still hurts, you know, and
I'm holding on and waiting to go to heaven, like, okay, God's
Grace has covered my life and even though I live like
everybody else and I couldn't do anything.
At least, you get to go to heaven, but boy, it sure.
Is stinking down here. Sure is rough.
It sure is tough. I mean, I can't get through the
devil's always pursuing me. Running me down.
How is hard out there? Pastor is hard.
Oh, I can't wait till he comes. Well, you can't wait till he
comes because you don't know he's already in you.
Oh yes, gonna get real good. Romans chapter 1, verse 6 are
6:1, what shall we say, then are we to continue in sin?
So that Grace May abound or may increase?
That's a question. Is there an answer first to make
exclamation point? Just to let you know?
So Paul would have sounded like this.
He gets a question from, you know, the church and the Roman
Church and he says can we continue in sin that Grace May
abound or may increase? And he's like may I never be
bad. May it never be.
How shall we who died to sin still live in it?
Well, I'm just so. Sorry sinner saved by grace.
Then you must still be a sinner and you haven't yet been saved.
Ouch. Yeah, I know, I know you got to
renew your mama, quit being Carl but you got the third person of
the godhead and I'm tell you people who made Jesus.
Lord, it's really not difficult. It's not hard.
That's it. It's not hard.
There's people in this room right now who really didn't go
to church, their whole life, but the men they got born again.
I started going to church, it just was in them to go and then
they just started following the word that was in them to obey
because they actually listen to the one that took up residence
on the inside and out. Her whole life began to change.
And he kept saying, do this different do this different.
They just yield and just did it, just did it?
Just did it didn't make any shoes to save?
All my God, I can't do it because you don't know what
Jesus, really paid the price for you.
Trying to go to heaven. That's your problem.
He said, or do you not know that all of us have been baptized
into Christ? Have been baptized into his
death. Therefore, we have been what
Barry? With him through baptism into
death. So that as Christ was raised
from the dead, through the glory of the father.
So we too might walk, might walk in the newness of life.
For if we have become United with him in the likeness of his
death, certainly just look a certainly, tell your neighbors
certainly certainly, we shall also be in the likeness of his
resurrection. No way that that old Self was
crucified with him, in order that our body of sin, might be
done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin.
For he who has died. Is freed from sin.
Now, if we have died with Christ we believe that we shall also
live with him. Knowing that Christ having Oma
been raised from the dead is never to die again.
Death no longer is Master over him for death.
Leave this up now, guys, for death that for the death, that
he died. He died for us to sin once for
all, but the life that he lives. He lives To God even so consider
yourself to be dead to sin but alive to God.
In Christ. Are you ready?
Are you ready for the climactic? Conclusion of what God wants to
put inside you today? Are you ready for this?
Somebody come move this out of the way, cause I'll probably
break it. Listen to me, he said this, he
said he died the death, he died to sin once and for all he did
that. Are you hearing me?
Which means then the wages of sin is death.
He had is what brings death through.
One man's transgression, our Disobedience to God death in
her. The world sin showed up and sin
says, you got to pay me. Now, you'll have to pay me.
And death means separation. It means you're excluded from
the kingdom. The father comes down and said,
Adam, where are you? Have you eaten the fruit.
I told you not to and then he puts him out of the garden.
Why you're separated from me? You're on the bed since I'm
gonna have to exclude you from my garden.
I have to exclude you from my tree a lot after excludes you.
Now, I got to exclude you but I got a plan.
I got it. Plan because I had this plan
from the foundations of the world.
And this plan is this is that I'll send my seed through the
woman so that he will make a way.
So that man could get back into right alignment with me, what
has separated him, I will have Jesus come so that they can
leave sin and be separated unto God.
So what used to separate them now, they are separated from it
matey. That now that I'm born of God, I
consider myself separated are dead to sin means separated from
Sin, Sin done, Own Me No More Jesus, God not so I could go to
heaven, but so I could be separated from the very thing
that kept me, separated, from God.
So that which kept me, And beat down.
Broke it. Don't owe me, it.
Don't tell me what to do anymore.
It doesn't tell me how to respond.
It does tell me how to live. It can't tell me that the color
of my skin keeps me from getting somewhere.
It doesn't tell me because my parents abused me that I can't
go somewhere. It doesn't tell me.
That I'm worthless that I'm no good.
That I'll never amount to nothing.
It doesn't tell me that I gotta sleep with you.
I gotta sleep with you. I gotta sleep with you if I'm
gonna be satisfied. It don't tell me there.
I'm hurting and I better go find me a few bottles and drown this
stuff out. It don't tell me no more cause
I'm separated from it cause the blood of Jesus.
Let's see. Look, it's in In the face and
say it is red. It's red.
You don't know me. You can't tell me what to do.
No more. You don't have a whole new
species of him. I'm different I'm alive and when
people are clearly Devil's after me, well, tell him to shut up
come out because he don't own, you know, more he can't run you
down like a dog and beat on you anymore.
He may try to challenge you but when you I say, hey, you don't
know me. I'm a new man.
I'm in Christ. I'm the king of the earth and my
King has seated me in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
I have defeated you cuz he has defeated.
You are you hearing me? So Christ's blood has separated
you from sin at any time and when it crouches outside the
door you say you better get on. You better Gil when seeing
starts talking in your mind, you hear how they talking about,
you, you hear how they saying about you, you ought to see
this. You want to say this?
You'll say, but instead, but
instead the greater one, on the inner side of me, says something
else. And I'm gonna follow his
leading, cause I'm not like the world.
I'm not subject to that no more. It doesn't hold me by me.
I don't subscribe. Tribe.
Do it anymore. I'm a child of the king.
I'm a child of the king.
I'm a chosen race. A holy nation.
A royal priesthood. Oh my God.
My Jesus rose. And I rose with him he conquered
sin and I conquer sin. Thank you so much for listening
