Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast
from St. Augustine, FL.
Now enjoy this message. You have your Bibles turn to
Revelations, Chapter 12. Revelations, Chapter 12.
Amen. The way the Bible was
interpreted a lot of times is through people's paradigm shifts
or their traditions, and that's why we always say here.
At Anchor Faith Church according to Matthew 15.
Three Why do you forsake the commandments of God for the sake
of your traditions? So you have to decide that the
Bible is right, period. Rightly divided, that is, and
that you want the Bible to interpret itself.
I'm thankful for the gifts that are in the body.
You cannot deny them or ignore them.
And the minute you say, well, I don't need them, that's the five
fold ministry. The apostle, prophet, pastor,
teacher and evangelist. Well, then you're off because
you're saying you don't need something God says you need, All
right? And those gifts are there to
equip the Saints. They are to receive a revelation
of the word that then communicate, that opens up God's
word and makes it alive in you as the holy goes, bears witness
to the teaching they give you that that is correct.
Then you are to study it out for yourself.
And you don't believe it just because they say it.
You believe it because you now study it yourself and say, wow,
that is right on. That doesn't mean you're being
critical. That just means you're examining
scripture. OK, there's a difference.
And so anytime that I read from any author, I'm always examining
because This is why we go from Genesis 11 to Revelations 2221,
that's the whole Bible. So that we can always keep
things in context because when you begin to discover something,
you have to then question what maybe, you know, I'm gonna say
that again. When you discover something,
sometimes you have to question what you know because what you
know maybe on in a lens that is not as clear as it needs to be.
And I don't care if your mom told you that or your dad told
you that, they could have been wrong concerning the scripture.
I don't care if you have a someone, a loved one, that's a
pastor, they could be off, it could get off.
They may not even be trying to be off.
They just heard a tradition make a statement and had actually
study that statement out for themselves.
So again, it's very important that we take time to study the
scripture for ourselves. In a Revelations 1210 to 11.
Something was said by this author that I'll read here in a
moment, but it kind of woke something in me that got me
stinking. It made me go down some
journeys. And he says, and Revelations
1210 through 11 says this. And when I heard a loud voice in
heaven saying, Now the salvation and the power and the Kingdom of
our God and the authority of his Christ have come, For the
accuser of our brethren have been what thrown down He who
accuses them before our God day and night, Verse 11.
And they overcame him because of what, the blood of the Lamb and
because of the word of their testimony.
And they did not love their life, even when faced with
death. Now, we're going to talk about
this particular passive scripture a little bit
differently than what we've probably generally have heard
because, you know, you know as well as I do, as you study the
word of God, there's always something more in a scripture
that we've yet to mine out. There's just so much more
because as you learn little things here and there along the
way and you begin to see stuff from again the beginning of the
book, Genesis 11 to the end of Revelations, all of a sudden
context takes place. One of the biggest failures of
ministers and Saints alike is that we interpret scripture or
we begin to apply scripture from wrong covenants.
Meaning we will go back into books and begin to make them
applicable today when they are modified based upon the covenant
we're in. Job.
Many people go to Job, but you know Job was before the law,
Moses before that law even took place.
But people will go over to law Job and say the Lord giveth and
the Lord taketh away. Well, the Lord didn't take
nothing away if you actually read the book of Job.
If you actually read the book of Job, you'll know that Satan took
away. So Job was ignorant.
It's factual. It is a true statement that Job
said the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, but it was a
failure to recognize who actually took away Hallelujah.
So most people have a belief system that if you lose
something, it's God. Well, there's an enemy out there
that comes to kill, steal and destroy, Hallelujah.
So it's amazing how many people get into the New Covenant and
they act like all of the old covenants gone until they need
to apply something from the Old Covenant.
It's amazing how they'll do these things.
And so we have to make sure that when we're interpreting things
or we're looking at the word of God, we're looking at it in the
context of the covenant we're living in.
That means the revealed will of God in the age we live.
Are you hearing me? So Jesus said again in verse 10
or the scripture says. Then I heard a loud voice in
heaven saying now the salvation and the power.
And the Kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have
come. Has Christ come?
I said, Has he come? Has he come?
Has he defeated the devil? Has he whipped and stripped him
of his power? According to Colossians too?
Has he whipped him? Has he spoiled principalities
and powers? Has he taken back the dominion
that Adam took from that the devil took from Adam?
Yes, he has. And can he give that dominion
back to us? Now?
What demean are we talking about?
We're talking about the Dominion and Genesis chapter one verse
26. That said then God said let us
make man in our image according to our likeness and let them
have dominion or rule. So man was created in the image
of God. God is the ruler of all creation
and then he place makes a planet that he puts a man that's in his
image according to his likeness basically of his DNA and says I
want you to rule this place like I rule.
Amen. And so he gave man the the
authority on earth to rule how the system functioned and it was
to mirror heaven's way. That's why Jesus against it.
Now this is how we pray people that the will of heaven is done
where on earth, right. So Jesus letting us know this
principle was never to be violated.
But the first Adam violated that principle.
He gave his dominion over to the devil when he ate the fruit that
he was never supposed to eat. That the Lord said don't eat it
because the day you eat you will surely, surely die.
And when he did that, the Luke chapter four account of the
temptation of Christ. The devil himself says, I can
give you all these domains, all these kingdoms, because they've
been handed over to me and he received them from the first
atom. But Jesus is the last atom.
And then in fact and that and that says Jesus came and
functioned under the dominion that the first Adam lost.
And that's why he performed the miracles that he did.
If all you got to do is read Genesis 126 and then you look at
all the miracles he did in the four Gospels, they are within
that dominion mandate. This is why fish show up in
Nets. This is why fish multiply in his
hand. This is why plants die.
This is why winds and waves listen.
This is why my wife and I took the same principle that the Lord
said to us in the scripture, the works that I do.
Well, you know what Jesus did works other than heal the sick.
He did works other than cast out devils.
He did other worse than just raise the dead.
He spoke to nature. I said he spoke to nature.
So there was a hurricane that was out in the Atlantic that was
headed to Bermuda. Sorry.
You're not authorized. Because the Lord has authorized
that I could take off September the 1st through the 9th.
And I'm going to Bermuda, so this cannot be.
Are you hearing me? And so we spoke to the storm
that it cannot. You're glad just split it now,
aren't you glad you were on our cruise ship?
Megan and Gutter happened to be on the same ship.
Out of all the ships to pick, we were on the same one.
But we had a great time and Bermuda was awesome.
They took us to lunch and we overlooked the ocean off a golf
course or dinner. It was amazing.
Watch the sunset. Ooh, it was so good anyway.
But that wouldn't have happened if we would have been like,
well, you know, whatever happens, it's an act of God.
Not all Nate natural events are an act of God.
I said not all natural events are active acts of God.
So we spoke to it and it never hit the coast.
I mean, the outer bands didn't even get there.
Are you hearing me? Well guess what?
Lee's brewing. He's out there now.
Amen. Well, they can't come to
Florida. Not only could it not hinder our
cruise cause God has authorized me to be off.
That's the only reason I'm off. But number two, I have to have
sun because I am not floating on a tin can for 9 days.
And it raining. It's not happening.
It's not going to happen. So we pray for no rain now they
can bear witness. It only showered for like 5
minutes on day seven. Was it?
Maybe that's it. Period.
And it just done. It's one of our days at sea.
Everything else, nothing but sunshine.
I said nothing but sunshine and I have the tan to prove it.
You say, Well why would the Lord do that?
Because he loves me. And this is the thing people act
like, well, I can't. Why would you ask the Lord for
that? Because he cares.
For me, something that simple he cares for me, He loves me.
I mean, what parent that could do for their child don't do for
their child. And we're acting like we're
giving God some massive. Like it's a big deal for God to
say, Well, OK, son, I'll make sure no clouds get on your
course. Well, God has so much more
important things. There's nothing more important
to him than his kids, I said. There's nothing more important
things to to him than his kids. He loves us that much.
He gives to us exceedingly abundantly, far beyond what we
could think or imagine. We think that God's only
concerned about lost people. Jesus.
Jesus already paid the price for lost people.
It's done. It's our responsibility to tell
the lost. That's what we're tasked to do,
is to communicate. Jesus Christ is not actually
praying for lost people. The Bible says he intercedes for
the Saints. He's praying that we would get
revelation and that we would follow him and we would obey and
we would do wherever his spirit directed us.
And if we would do that, then the loss would have the greatest
opportunity to hear the word Hallelujah.
Such resistance right now this is interesting.
Now that's not what my church folk that's been here a while.
It's new people. I can tell it's because you
hadn't been trained. I'm just going to be honest with
you haven't been trained. One of the biggest arrogant
problems that we have in Christianity Today is that the
minute people get born again, they instantly think they know
everything. Yeah, the Bible calls you a babe
in Christ. You have to study.
It's shocking to me that it when we were lost and we discovered
Jesus Christ died on the cross and Roach for the grave to give
us life that we were willing to admit we're wrong and accept
Jesus. But when it comes to the
renewing of the mind, we are least we are very resistant to
want to change our thinking to reflect this new life we're in.
Nor do we want to hear somebody tell us when our thinking's
wrong, even when the Scripture proves it is Hallelujah.
Amen, because our Father has given us a Kingdom that cannot
be shaken, and most of us don't even know what the kingdom's
about because they think it's a destination.
It's heaven. Heaven is a place.
Earth is a place. And the kingdom's in both
locations. I said it's in both locations.
Hallelujah. This is really about sonship.
Being born again was not about going to heaven.
Being born again was about becoming a son of God so that
the Holy Ghost could come and live on the inside of you now.
Hallelujah. Are you hearing me?
So with that being said, it went on to say that they overcame him
with the blood of the lamb. Jesus has stripped the devil of
his power and they overcame him with the blood of the lamb
because of the word of the and the word of their testimony and
did not love their life even when facing death.
Genesis 4, verse 9 and 10. I'm going to talk to you about
the blood of the lamb today. But in order for us to talk
about the blood of the Lamb, we're going to talk about some
other blood and Genesis, Chapter 4, verse 9 and 10.
Hopefully you got your own electronic device or Bible so
you can follow us while they're getting the projectors up and
running the the computer, it says.
Then the Lord said to Cain Genesis 4, verse 9 and 10.
Then the Lord said to Cain, where is Abel, your brother now?
To bring you up to speed for those that may not know.
This historical account of two people who actually lived on
planet Earth. This is a actual event that took
place. OK, this is not a fairy tale.
These are real people. And that Cain and Abel offered
to God and offering gave him an offering.
There is no law of Moses here. They were not commanded in a
writing to give, but yet it was out of their heart.
There's something being demonstrated in the planet
within about 115 years of creation that Cain and Abel know
we're supposed to give to God. I'm gonna say that again.
We're supposed to give to God. And so Kane brought a sacrifice,
and Abel brought a sacrifice, and God had no regard for
Kane's. But he accepted Ables, and the
Lord speaks to Kane about this, he said.
Now listen, sin is crouching at your door.
He gave him instruction and correction on how to fix this
deal. He says.
Now listen, you can master. This means you can win.
I mean, this guy's falling, but the Lord's like you can, Based
upon what you know about me, you can live righteous enough to get
this right, just like your brother Abel did.
Are you hearing me? And that correction, Kane went
and told Abel about it, went and instruct said this is what the
Lord told me. And you know, it bothered him so
much being corrected, that he turned his offense of God
towards his brother. I'm gonna say that again.
He turned his offense of God towards his brother.
The reason why unity in the church is so difficult is
because so many people are actually offended with God and
they turn it on their brother. They start blaming their brother
for their problems and blaming their brother for why they can't
get ahead and blaming their brother why they can't get
somewhere. And look you didn't smile and
talk to me and all this stuff and they start musing this in
their mind. And so Kane raises up and kills
his brother. Now the Lord shows up and says
where's your brother? And Kane says, I don't know.
And my my brother's keeper. Now notice verse 10.
His response. Jesus's or the Lord's response?
He said. What have you done?
The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the
ground. I'm going to say that again.
The voice of your brother's blood, the voice of your
brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
Ephesians are are not Ephesian. Hebrews Chapter 11 verse four
gives us an insight again of this particular genesis.
Scripture says by faith Abel offered to God a better
sacrifice than Kane, the through which he obtained the testimony
that he was righteous. God testified about his gifts,
and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks.
Although he's what Dad, he still he still what spoke?
What spoke? The blood.
It was still speaking.
I said the blood was still speaking.
Are you? Hearing me, Oh my goodness,
listen to this. This author says this.
It says, in fact it was Abel's blood that convicted Kane for
what he had done and ushered in his sentence.
We read about this in Genesis, right?
And it says this that Abel's blood showed up in the courtroom
of heaven to give testimony to Kane's guilt.
Abel's blood showed up in the courtroom of heaven and gave
testimony. Gave what testimony?
Gave testimony? Say the blood speaks.
Come on, say the blood speaks Now, In today's churches, you're
not hearing a lot about the blood.
That's not in every church. There are plenty of churches out
there that are minister on the blood.
You're just not seeing them on social media.
They're just not getting the air time, they're not getting the
likes. They're getting suppressed in
their messaging because the algorithm works against the word
of truth. OK?
What you are getting is everybody who's talking just
nonsense, OK? The popular ones, the ones that
get all the likes because they're feeding into people's
flesh. And again, I told you at some
point I'm going to deal with the social media minister.
OK, I'm not going to pull them up personally.
I'm not going to show you who they are.
But I'm just going to talk about some of the things that they
say, because they're really it is their platform for false
doctrine. And the problem is, is that most
believers, because they're absolutely illiterate to the
word of God, they identify through their feelings what that
person says. And because they identify
through their feelings what that person said, because I
associate, I know I felt I feel that myself, then they allow
them to manipulate them with scripture, and as a result of
that, then people are using that scripture without ever studying
it out themselves. To determine if it's truth, the
way they're saying it is Hallelujah.
So. But the blood speaks.
Turn over to 2nd King's Chapter 9, Second King's Chapter 9 Thank
you Lord and 2nd King's Chapter 9 verse 24 and 25.
It says it this way. It's very interesting that I
need all these scriptures to literally be seen.
It's amazing the blood speaks Y'all need to make sure you're
in something you can see, because if there's ever been a
message to understand about the blood, it's this one.
And I'm not technically surprised that the computer went
down, but I do not like that it did because most of you show up
without any instrument or Bible and you're heavily dependent on
the screen. So if you have a phone, download
a Bible app right now. So that you can go with us.
At minimum, do that because I know everybody's sporting a
phone in here, at least Again, we miss so much.
If you're only hearing me, you have to let your eyes go across
the scripture when we're reading it.
Second Kings 924 to 26. As then Jay, who drew his bow
with his full strength and shot Joe Ram or Joe Ram.
However, you say this guy's name between his arms, which happens
to be the descendant of King Saul or King Ahab, Excuse me?
And the ERA went through his heart, and he sank in his
chariot. Then Jay.
Who said to his officer, take him up and cast him in, onto, or
into the property of the fellow Nabok, the Jesiralite.
For I remember when you and I were riding together after Ahab,
his father. That the Lord laid this Oracle
against him. Surely I have seen yesterday the
blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons, says the Lord, And I
will repay you in this property, says the Lord.
Now then take and cast him into the property according to the
word of the Lord. So the blood of Naboth is
speaking. So let's go and get a back
story. You have to go back to First
Kings chapter 21 to find this. In First King chapter 21 verses
one through three it says now it came about after these things
that Nabot had a vineyard that was in Jezereel beside the
palace of Ahab. The king of Samaria and Ahab
spoke to him, saying, Give me your vineyard, that I may have
it for a vegetable garden, because it is close beside my
house, and I will give you a better vineyard than than it.
It in its place you, if you like, I will give you the price
of it in money. But Nabos said they have God
forbid me that I should give you the inheritance of my father.
Now we know that Jezebel is not real happy about this because he
shows up depressed the king. So verse 7, Same chapter,
Jezebel's wife said, Do you now reign over Israel?
Arise, eat bread, and let your heart be joyful.
I will give you the vineyard of Naboth.
So she wrote a letter and Ahab's name, sealed them with his seal,
and sent letters to the elders into the nobles who were living.
With Naboth in this in his city, she wrote in the letter saying
Proclaim a fast seat Naboth at the head of the people and see
two worthless men before him and let them testify against him
saying you curse God and the king then take him out and stone
him to death. So the government put a hit on
the citizen, made the document top secret.
So that nobody knew and they eliminated one of their own just
so the king could have a piece of property.
Are you hearing me? But first King, chapter 21,
verse 17. The Lord heard the blood.
Say the blood speaks when the word of the Lord came.
Verse 17 of the 21st chapter First kings, when the Lord the
Lord came to Elijah the Tish bite, saying, Arise, go meet
Ahab, king of Israel, who was in Samaria.
Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down
to take possession of it. You shall speak to him saying.
Thus says the Lord you have murdered, and also take him
possession. Are you hearing me?
And you shall speak to him saying, Thus says the Lord in
the place where the dogs lick up the blood of Naboth.
The dogs will lick up your blood, even yours.
So Naboth blood testified against Ahab and his wife
Jezebel in the courtroom of heaven.
Say the blood speaks. Then he goes down to verse 23.
He said of Jezebel has also has the Lord spoken saying the dogs
will eat Jezebel in the district of Jezereel?
Well, for this to take place, God anoints a man named Jay who
to become king of Israel after Ahab's death, and his son is on
the throne. And it says in Second Kings.
Back in Second Kings Chapter 9, verse seven, he said you shall
strike the House of Ahab, your master, and I'm, that I may
avenge the blood of my servants, the prophets, and the blood of
all the servants of the Lord at the hand of Jezebel.
So not only has the blood of Naboth cried out, but every
prophet that Jezebel killed. Their blood has made it to the
courtroom of heaven and has testified.
Say the blood speaks. Come on, say the blood speaks.
So we know we've already read that he shot the son of Ahab
with an arrow, went through his heart, died on the chariot, and
they took his body and threw it into the same field.
That not only did Naboth. Die.
But they also went and killed his sons as well.
They destroyed the inheritance, the line, so that no son could
raise up against them to claim ownership of the land that
Jezebel had murdered them to give to her husband.
Them jumped down to verse 33 of Second Kings 9.
Y'all doing all right. 3337 he said, throw her down.
This told my Jezebel, you know she got her face all painted up
and she saw uh Jay who show up. She goes, ah, you little
betrayer, you know, you the one who's brought the brought
treason to the throne. And he said, throw her down.
And so they threw her down, and some of her blood was sprinkled
on the walls and on the horses. And he trampled her under foot.
And when he came in, he ate and drank and said, see now to this
cursed woman and buried her, for she is a King's daughter.
And they went to bear here, but they found nothing more of her
than a skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hand.
Therefore they returned and told him, And he said, This is the
word of the Lord which he spoke by his servant Elijah.
Saying in the property of Jezebel the dog shall eat the
flesh of Jezebel and the corpse of Jezebel will be as dung on
the face of the field in the property of Jezebel.
So they cannot say this is Jezebel talking about.
Want to get your name get erased off of the planet?
Go ahead and keep doing things against the word of God and shed
innocent blood. Because the blood is speaking.
So let me just tell you this, There is no circumstantial
evidence in the courtroom of heaven.
There is no such thing as circumstantial evidence.
You know what circumstantial evidence is?
That is, there's no real eyewitness.
We do not have the smoking gun we see we were there when it
happened. We saw it take place.
We are eyewitnesses. We saw them do it.
We can testify, we can say we were there.
We saw it. And so circumstantial evidence
means that there's enough there that although we don't have the
smoking gun, we don't have the actual eyewitnesses.
And two or three at that. What we have is just enough to
conclude you were there. And we're calling it guilty,
although we can't prove it beyond the circumstantial
evidence. But when you get to Heaven's
court, that doesn't exist. Why?
Because every conviction. Is cause the blood speaks.
Do you understand? Let me say it this way.
The author of this particular book says it this way.
Oh my Mama, y'all doing all right, maybe I'll wait.
Revelation 69 and 10 says when the lamb broke the 5th seal, I
saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain.
Because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which
they had maintained. And they cried out with a loud
voice, saying, How long ago, Lord, holy and true, will you
refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who
dwell on the earth. Joel. 321 The Lord says, this I
will avenge their blood, which I have not avenge, for the Lord
dwells in Zion. So there's not one drop that
justice will not be served. Let me say it this way.
From the King's perspective, there is no injustice.
From the King's perspective, there is no injustice because
everything done will be dealt with.
Everything. Everything.
So you could go your whole life and never see something come to
pass. But don't think it's not coming
to pass. Don't think it's not coming to
pass. Don't think that justice will
not be served. No one is ever getting away with
anything. Ever, ever, ever, ever.
Ever. Ever.
I said ever. No one is ever getting away with
something because the blood is always talking.
I said. The blood is talking.
Do you know how many murders there's been, globally speaking?
That those voices have already made it to the courtroom of
heaven? They will be personal
testimonies. I was there.
Oh, yo. The blood.
And Naboth got in the stand and says I was there.
I was there when they pulled out the letter from the King.
Guess what He heard The letter being read right?
He knows what they said about him.
He knows that wasn't true. Are you hearing me?
And that blood enacted God to go into his mode of where he
determined who was the source who started this thing.
And he held him accountable. I said he held him accountable.
You would think that Jezebel got away with murder in the day we
live in today, in the last of the last days.
There is so much unrighteousness happening right now that it'll
make your head spin to be able to try to actually find justice
happening. In fact, the Bible tells us in
the end there will be what they call lawlessness.
You are going to hear of more and more cases of things taking
place that you'll never get a resolution, but if you know, the
blood speaks. Then you'll know there's a
courtroom in heaven and this isn't final.
Amen. Go think about it.
If you knew someone killed your child and it seems they were
getting away with it, but you know they're coming to court and
they're going to sit before the king.
Then you can say. Your day is coming.
You didn't get away with anything, I said.
You didn't get away with anything because you know how
many parents are wanting to see that person that did that to
their child received that sent? What is that?
There's closure for them. They feel like justice has been
served, that the wrong done to the innocence of their child has
now had a payment back for that. The person's paying the price
for their wrongdoing. Are you hearing me?
And I know that the blood speaking, I said the blood
speaking. I said the blood speaking.
Hebrews Chapter 12. There's no blood ever spilled
that doesn't speak. Even blood that never made it
out of the womb. The blood is speaking.
All right. Welcome back, Pastor.
Listen, I'm not here to be popular.
I'm here to deliver the word of the Lord and it's time for you
to understand the blood, because when you know the blood then
passion is not a problem. Hebrews chapter 12, verse 22
turn there. Hebrews 12/22 and 225 says this.
But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living
God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriad of angels, to the
General Assembly and the Church of the first born who are
enrolled in heaven, And to God the judge of all.
And to the spirits of the righteous made perfect.
And to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the
sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of April,
the blood. Speaks better.
Than the blood of Abel that speaks better than the blood of
Abel. Jesus's blood is speaking.
The blood of Jesus that's been poured out on the mercy seat is
speaking. So let's read this from this
author. If Jesus's blood speaks better
than Abel's blood, what is his blood saying?
What's Jesus's blood saying is that it overrules the
condemnation do us for our sin. For as we read Romans 81,
therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are
in Christ. Abel's blood showed up in the
courtroom of heaven to give testimony to Cain's guilt.
Jesus's blood testifies in the same courtroom so that we may
have forgiveness and pardon when we have trusted in him for the
salvation of our soul. Jesus's blood overrules the
accuser. Jesus's blood silences the
prosecution. Jesus's blood protects delivers,
empowers those who have placed faith in Him.
His blood is the power of His sacrifice, which operates today
on behalf of anyone who needs it places their faith in him to
receive it. Jesus's blood pronounces
judgment on Satan in the courtroom of heaven, and they
overcame him. By the blood of the lamb.
Why? Cause the blood is talking
today. The blood is testifying on your
behalf. The blood is saying no, no, no
Mr. Devil, they've been bomb paid for.
No, no, no Mr. Devil, you can't accuse them of that anymore.
I've paid that price. We can't even be in this
position without the blood. Because the Bible says it's
without. Without the shedding of blood,
there is no permission of sin. And here we are.
If we don't watch out, we are trying to live in a new and
better covenant. But in the old one, what do I
mean? Well, that means the high
priest. Well, Jesus is a high priest.
But they had a high priest, and the high priest would go in once
a year, right? And you make atonement for the
nation. They would shed the blood, put
it on the mercy seat so that it would bring protection.
I'm not going to get into a blood covenant class here, but
would do protection for the whole nation so that God could
continue to bless them and forgive them of all their own.
Believers today are constantly wanting to live life any way
they want to and come by once a year on Easter so that the high
priest can bless them but then live like they're in the world.
And say Grace has covered them really well.
Let's keep reading verse 24 again.
And to Jesus, the mediator, He's the mediator.
This is what's so awesome about Jesus.
Jesus died so that he could give us his nature.
We could become children of God again.
But he doesn't stay dead. He actually comes back alive to
make sure you get everything he said was yours.
Unlike in the natural, If someone leaves you in their last
will and testament and inheritance, well, some crooked
person could squander it or manipulate or do something and
keep it from you, and you may never know.
But Jesus actually came back alive and said no, no, no you
can't. No, I left them healing.
No, I left them prosperity. No, I left them joy.
No, I left them peace. No, I left them to to end.
The blood testifies. It's speaking on your behalf.
So he's the mediator of this new covenant and to and to the
sprinkle blood, which speaks better than the blood of able
verse 25. See to it that you do not refuse
him who was speaking. For if they did not escape when
they refused him, who warned them on earth, how much or much
less will we escape? Who turn away from him who warns
from heaven how it says much less?
The Western culture of Christianity has done a
disservice. To the blood because it has
cheapened it. It's basically says I can do
whatever I want to do because of the blood and because I have
grace now that I didn't work for Jack.
That I don't have to do anything once I'm a child of God anyway,
because the grace covers me. And there's plenty out there
today saying I can do what I want to do.
And if you try to tell me I have to do this, that and the other
you're under the law. Well, you are under a law.
If you actually read your Bible, it's called the law of the
spirit of life in Christ Jesus. That's in Romans.
That's new covenant. That's due to church.
But law's not a negative word. Law just means the way God
operates because you're still under.
Thou shalt not murder. You're still under.
Thou shalt not steal. You're still there.
It's the grace of God that puts you in the position so you don't
steal, and it's the grace of God that empowers you so that you
don't murder. In fact, it goes even closer.
It gets if the grace of God will keep you from hating your
brother, which is a form of murder anyway, look what it says
in Hebrews chapter 10, verse 26 to 29 says.
If we go on will sinning willfully after receiving the
knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains A sacrifice for
sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the.
Fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries.
Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on
the testimony of two or three witnesses.
How much severe? How much severe?
Next word Punishment.
This is New Testament book. How much severe punishment do
you think he will deserve, who has trampled under foot the Son
of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of his
covenant by which he was sanctified and has insulted?
The spirit of grace. Because the blood speaking, the
blood is on the mercy seat. Jesus's blood speaks louder than
the blood of April. So you can't say, well, Lord, I
can't help it. The blood saying you can.
Well, Lord, you know I just can't help the sin.
The Lord's. The blood says you can.
The blood says I delivered you from that I set you free from
that. I put my spirit in you.
The blood says I gave you my spirit, and my spirit is greater
in you than I mean, you know how people sing this stuff but yet
don't lift this stuff because they have no regard for the
blood. At least in the Old Covenant,
you got to feel it, I said. You got to feel it when you
brought your sacrifice, that lamb that you raised yourself
without spot or wrinkle, and you fed every day.
And then you brought them to the priest and you got put your hand
on it. Why, They cut his throat and
watch it bleed out. And then you see the blood.
All that was it. You watched it give up its life
and we've lost sight that Jesus Christ.
We all had our hands on Jesus. We were the ones that were
beating on him. We were the ones that were doing
all that, and we've lost sight of it.
How do I know? Because we're not passionate
about the things of God. We forgot to price, and we
forget that it's speaking that it's without excuse for us to be
casual, for us to be complacent, for us to be more concerned
about what's going on in the world than what's going on in
the church. We've cheapened it.
Why? And we've cheapened it with this
word, free. The blood's not free people.
It is a price. It is a gift to you, but it cost
Jesus his life. How many times do you give a
gift to someone that they just disregard and throw it away?
They don't even think of the sacrifice or the value.
This is why we go to Dollar Tree and and Dollar General and the
little one to five dollar place in Target and buy gifts for one
another. Because we know they really
don't value anything we give them anyway.
Because you really don't want to spend that much on someone
anyway. Look, I'm going to buy you a
house and pay your mortgage. Then you show up at their house
and it's trashed. We can probably go to a lot of
government housing right now and see that it looked pristine and
somebody subsidizing it. You all don't want to hear this.
OK? That's fine.
Because why we're so disconnected from the price,
we've forgotten about the blood. I mean, we think about the
blood. You're like, man, I'm going to
be right with God. I'm going to serve in his
church. I'm going to love him with my
whole heart, mind, soul and strength.
I mean, he poured everything out.
I mean, he gave it all for me. I mean his blood is talking
right now on my behalf. He is standing in the gaff for
me. He is the one testified.
It's his blood speaking on my behalf every day, talking about
my deliverance, talking about me.
His blood is talking. And you know what?
His blood will also say, His blood say, well, they don't
value me because obviously the blood can say they're trampling,
they're trampling, they're trampling on me.
No value. No value.
Most places are more concerned about being entertained than
they are being about receiving the word blood speaks.
I mean, think about Exodus. The last great sign.
Angels going to come by and kill the first born.
What do we do? Just put some blood on your
doorpost here to talk on your behalf.
I mean, I'm telling you, the blood will deliver you out of
all your trouble. Because it is speak on your
behalf every time the enemy comes to kill, steal and
destroy. If you'll have the blood, I
said. If you'll have a recognition of
the blood. If you understand that you got
to put your trust in the fact that the blood is the covenant
by which you are in, and it means everything to you, then
you can cause it to pass by. But most people want to be
outside the house. OK, the blood covered the house.
Who is the house? The church is the household of
God, but they want to be outside the church.
They want personal Jesus. Praise the Lord.
Turn over to First Peter so we can get you shouting.
Want you to shout a little bit? Get excited.
Hallelujah, the blood. You know what I love about God
is that he knows what he needs to say when He needs to say it.
I pray today that when you leave, you'll say, my gosh, the
cost. And the reason you overcome by
the blood of the Lamb is because it's talking about you today.
If you're not trampling it, because you cannot come to the
Kingdom of God and keep your will, meaning you do only what
you want to do, you have to put that down and take up his.
That's what you have to do. The Kingdom of God is not
something that you just enter into and then have no
responsibility to. It is the responsibility of
obedience. And you do that by faith.
And as you read the Word and grow on the word and learn the
word and study the Word, then you put yourself in remembrance
of the price that was paid for you first.
Peter chapter one verse 14 says this.
We'll go to verse 23, he says, as obedient children, do not be
conformed to the former lust which were yours in your
ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you be holy
yourselves also in all your behavior.
Because it is written, you shall be holy.
For I'm holy and don't get hung up on that phrase and go, well,
you know I'm not perfect. It's not asking you to be
perfect. It's asking you to be holy.
And holy means to be separated unto God.
That's what that means. That means you put him first.
That's what that means. And you understand any
imperfection about you. God's going to deal with that
when he needs to deal with that because he'll keep touching
spots in you because the blood is going to say, well, for me to
do this, to this and this and this with this individual, I
need to keep renewing their mind, keep it releasing all that
they are on the inside. Their spirit man's alive, but
they don't know how to release it like they should.
I mean, we haven't even hardly scratched the surface of Kingdom
of of Living. I mean, we have angels at our
charge that we're not even talking to.
I talked to him. I said minister spirits, you go
right now and you make deceased calm.
There's not a vehicle. I don't get on that.
I don't send my minister spirits out.
When I ride on my motorcycle I say I thank you Lord.
And my wife jumped on a scooter in Bermuda actually because our
trip, our little excursion didn't work.
So as a result of that we just jumped on a scooter and we took
off on the island, little narrow streets and I had to ride on the
left side and I was getting down and my wife was like slow down,
slow down. She first for the first, you
know 5 kilometers was like this. And then by the time we got
around the eye, she was like this with the phone.
So I gave her peace and comfort that I got this.
We're all right. By no means am I an expert, but
I am cautious, right? And I'm not driving too fast,
OK? But with that being said, we
were moving around, driving, taking in the scenery, right?
And I just passed angels and I said everybody sees me and I see
everybody well when I got on the ship, mate, with this particular
couple that we ate with a few times.
And we told him we got on a scooter and they were like, did
you, How was that? That was awesome.
Well, man, this one person was like, all jacked up.
They rode a scooter and wrecked and ran into the side of the
mountain. I'm like, wow, probably
shouldn't have used the scooter. Yes, two or three people had
gotten injured. One lady we saw was testing.
She was like. Yeah, I'm not doing it.
And didn't even do it. And I was like, that's the will
of God for your life. You really don't need to get on
this thing. I mean, it's only like a 50CC
scooter, man. This thing's not really fast.
Anyway, anyway, with that being said, God protects, but there's
many Kingdom things we're not even doing because we're too
fixated on dying and going to heaven.
Instead of letting the the blood speak to for us and on our
behalf so that we overcome in this life, we overcome him by
the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony.
The blood is speaking on our behalf.
We have an overcoming confession because the blood is already in
the courtroom and has told the accuser of the brethren.
Listen, the Devil can't even come and even mention your name
unless you're a trampler, because unlike Job, you can't
use Job anymore because we're not living in the days of Job.
The devil doesn't have access to heaven like he did because he
has stripped him. The only way he could ever make
it there about someone is someone that's in his domain.
In Job, everyone was in his domain.
But now that Jesus has whipped and stripped him of his power,
if he tries to come to the court door and talk about you, if the
blood says there is nothing there, he is absolutely
innocent. We won't even give you an
appointment with the judge because the Bible says the devil
now roars around like a lie seeking whom he may devour, not
that he can just devour. See, you don't even know who you
are. The devil can't go to the Lord
anytime he wants to and talk about me and accuse me because
the blood says what do you have? Well, I want to talk to you
about pastor. Earl, he's done nothing wrong.
What do you mean the bloods talking?
Because he's forgiving my sin. As far as the east is from the
yeah, the blood can't bring up my past, nor does the blood
listen to the past. The only way he has access is
because I'm creating new things through willfully sinning.
But if I live holy in all my behavior, cause the blood, then
guess what? How's he going to accuse 'cause
I overcome him all the time, the bloods talking on my behalf.
And then I'm just speaking the word.
Only I'm living and doing the word.
There is no court day in heaven where the devil is accusing me.
Oh my goodness, you cannot use Job in this new covenant
dispensation. In fact, if you actually read
Joe Wright, the devil didn't even know what a yell he had.
He just knew he had something. It's like, well, let's talk
about your boy job. He said you protected him
because he knew, right? And he says, look, I mean, it's
in your power. What power?
The stuff you have dominion over the animals.
Now what? Demanded Adam.
Have. Over all the animals, every
creeping thing that creeps. But you have dominion over those
things. That's why he could destroy
that. Y'all don't want to hear this.
That's fine because so many people are so messed up thinking
God did that to Job. God didn't do that to Job.
In fact, when he came and said skin for skin, he's like true.
He is in an earth suit. I did make that out of the dust
of the earth, and you do have to mean over all the earth.
So I get it. You're going to put something on
him. But let me tell you where your
limitation is. You can't put something on him
that would require his spirit man to leave his body, because
he's never done anything. The wages of sin is death, and
he's done nothing that is authorized him to die.
And he did not curse. God didn't do it.
And after about nine months, some scholars, the most they
think is 18. Most believe it was only nine
months. God gave him double, Gave him
double, gave him double. This is why I know the Lord
didn't give and take away, because most people never get
double when they get. Through the trial, they ain't
got double. They just went, praise the Lord,
I made it through. All right, let's go on 1st 17.
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.
I conduct myself in fear, meaning the fear of God.
Man. He paid the ultimate price.
It's the blood, and I hold that in respectful awe.
How could I ever willfully try to do something against his word
when the blood's talking on my behalf?
I don't care how you make me feel.
I don't care what you say about me.
I don't care what the world says about me.
How in the world could I ever respond in a way ungodly when
the blood's talking? The price was too great.
Why would I ever want to jump back into my own will and tell
you what I think about this when the blood's talking?
Why would I want to resurrect me?
When I've been crucified with Christ and the blood's talking
because my blood's done nothing, but his blood's done everything,
why would I sit and entertain gossip, slander, when the
blood's talking? Why would I not correct someone
who's willfully sinning? When the blood's talking, why
wouldn't I? I'm like, look bro, I don't want
you trampling. You need to quit trampling.
Quit trampling. But you don't know how.
I don't care how you feel. The blood has paid the price.
You can live and act a different way.
There's a higher living now. You're not supposed to live in
your humanity. You're supposed to live as a
child of God, and you can, because the greater ones on the
inside, I said. The greater ones on the inside,
I said the greater ones on the inside.
Hallelujah. Knowing that you were not
redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your
futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with
the precious blood as of a lamb unblemished and spotless.
The blood of Christ, the blood of the King.
Christ means King. It's the blood of the king.
It's the King's blood. It's the King's blood, for he
was foreknown before the foundation of the world.
But he appeared in these last times for the sake of you, who
through him or believers in God, who raised him from the dead and
gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God, since
you have, in obedience to the truth, purified your souls for a
sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from
the heart. For you have been born again,
not of seed, which is perishable, but imperishable,
that is, through the living and enduring word of God.
Aren't you glad you've been purchased by the blood?
Come on. Aren't you glad you've been
purchased by the blood? Aren't you glad the blood, the
blood, the blood speaking on your behalf?
The blood speaking on your behalf.
So let's. Be the church that's holy
righteous. Separated unto God and never
give an occasion to our flesh ever again because the blood's
talking. The minute that flesh starts to
talk to you need to say, hold on a second, I need to get to the
courtroom in heaven and talk to the blood concerning the
situation because I'm pretty sure he's delivered me from what
you're asking me to do. Pretty confident that I don't
have to yield to that anymore. I think the blood's talking.
And the blood paid the price for that.
Anything that can ever come your way.
The blood has paid the price. It's paid the price.
So why couldn't you step out of your seat and come down when the
blood's been shed? Well, I didn't feel it.
I don't care because I can tell you right now, not every service
of Anchor Fade Church is their call to come down.
Now. Some people come down all the
time. If that's what they want to do,
they can. But when there?
Becomes a call of action when you start saying man the blood,
Is it too much for me right now to step out because I'm not
carrying a cross on this wall right now?
A real one beating so bad you can't tell I'm a man.
Crown of Thorns stuck on my head.
No, but I will carry this cross and that is, I'll do what God
says because the bloods paid the price.
These things are actually just simple ways in service for God
to train us to yield to His voice.
To yield to his voice. They're just actually exercises
for us to yield to the voice of God.
Because I'm telling you, Pastor Marcus is not going to ask you
to come down every service if you've been with us more than
five times. Now, you know that's true, but
sometimes they'll say you got to shout, and because of the blood
you can shout. Well, you should dance.
Because of the blood, you should dance.
I mean, because of the blood. It'd make you get up at your
seat. I mean, the blood will make you
show up to service early, waiting on hearing the voice of
God through the gift that he placed within the body called
the apostle and pastor. Are you hearing me?
It'll make you get passionate because the blood's talking.
I want to be an overcomer. How about you?
Right. Can't overcome without the
blood, I said. Can't overcome without the
blood. Hallelujah, the blood will get
rid of your tradition. Get rid of your faults,
doctrine. Bloody get it all straight.
If you're here today and you've never made Jesus the Lord of
your life, the blood before the foundation of the world was
ready to speak on your behalf. The blood's talking for
everyone, and there will be many on that day that the blood will
have said I paid the price for you.
Where you're going, you didn't have to, and I spoke to you.
On many occasions that you need to repent and accept Jesus as
your Lord. And the blood was talking, but
you said no. And he'll say depart, and he'll
cash you into the lake of fire, which is the second death, not
because he wants you there, but because you want to go, because
you didn't listen to the blood speaking.
But today is the day of salvation.
Today's the day of the Kingdom. Today's the day, the blood says.
Before you ever came into the planet.
I knew you were coming. I knew what you would do.
And I've paid your price. If you'll make me Lord, I'll
wipe it clean. Thank you so much for listening
