00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:04,840
Thanks for checking out the 
Anchor Faith Message podcast 

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,200
from St. 
Augustine, FL. 

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:16,079
Now enjoy this message. 
Today I want to talk to you 

4
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:23,640
about Consecrated Kingdom Call. 
Consecrated Kingdom call. 

5
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,410
Hallelujah. 
I want to rehearse, review and 

6
00:00:31,130 --> 00:00:35,370
just remind probably most of the
people we have with us today. 

7
00:00:35,370 --> 00:00:38,050
But I want to just remind you, 
it's good to stir our way selves

8
00:00:38,050 --> 00:00:40,890
up by way of remembrance. 
So this is kind of the appetizer

9
00:00:40,890 --> 00:00:42,690
before we get to the entree. 
Actually, I think of this is the

10
00:00:42,690 --> 00:00:46,410
appetizer and the dessert 
because I want to talk to you 

11
00:00:46,410 --> 00:00:49,570
about the story and plan of 
redemption 1st and then I want 

12
00:00:49,570 --> 00:00:51,490
to get into consecration to the 
call, OK. 

13
00:00:53,010 --> 00:00:55,250
But just to remind you, by way 
of remembrance, I'm going to 

14
00:00:55,250 --> 00:00:56,930
launch out from Genesis Chapter 
One. 

15
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,880
And verse 26 through 28. 
So whether you're following 

16
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,360
along in a paper Bible or on 
your electronic phone, it's 

17
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,280
important to pay attention at 
church. 

18
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:09,760
Amen. 
God has something for you today.

19
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,160
Say God has something for me. 
Say, I'm not going to get 

20
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,560
distracted. 
All right, So don't text, Don't 

21
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,760
answer notifications. 
Let's pay attention. 

22
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,840
Amen. 
Hallelujah. 

23
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,720
Don't be like the dumb husband 
that's looking at his phone. 

24
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,640
Well, his wife's trying to talk 
to him. 

25
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:31,630
Hallelujah. 
We help you at Anchor Fay 

26
00:01:31,630 --> 00:01:35,030
Church. 
Speak to the men. 

27
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:36,630
As the men go, so goes the 
house. 

28
00:01:38,110 --> 00:01:40,630
You know it's something when you
have eye contact, right? 

29
00:01:41,750 --> 00:01:44,830
Was it communicate to God when 
you're not paying attention? 

30
00:01:46,190 --> 00:01:47,350
Right. 
Do we honor him? 

31
00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:49,310
Do we value him? 
Amen. 

32
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:50,550
Does he? 
Do you think he wants your 

33
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:52,670
attention this morning? 
Amen. 

34
00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:55,390
Because he's got something to 
say to you, and the word that's 

35
00:01:55,390 --> 00:01:57,800
going to be given to you is. 
Going to deposit something and 

36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,720
you so that when you leave the 
building, you're impactful as a 

37
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,200
believer, as a child of God. 
Okay, this equips you when you 

38
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,240
come into this house for the 
work of service out there, all 

39
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,360
right? 
So in Genesis chapter one, 

40
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,440
verses 26 through 28, then God 
said, let us make man in our 

41
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,760
image according our likeness. 
Let them have dominion over the 

42
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,600
fish of the sea, over the birds 
of the air, and over the cattle 

43
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,510
and over the air. 
The earth and over every 

44
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:25,070
creeping thing that creeps on 
the earth. 

45
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:27,110
So God created man in his own 
image. 

46
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:29,870
And the image of God He created 
him male and female. 

47
00:02:30,230 --> 00:02:32,430
Male and female. 
He created them. 

48
00:02:32,590 --> 00:02:36,790
Female was not an afterthought 
in God's mind. 

49
00:02:38,190 --> 00:02:41,750
Christianity is the only 
religion that actually. 

50
00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:43,870
Elevates a woman to her rightful
place. 

51
00:02:45,070 --> 00:02:47,870
Then God bless them, and God 
said to them, be fruitful and 

52
00:02:47,870 --> 00:02:50,590
multiply, fill the earth. 
Subdue it have dominion over 

53
00:02:50,590 --> 00:02:52,830
fish of the sea, over the birds 
of the air, over every living 

54
00:02:52,830 --> 00:02:55,750
thing that moves on the earth. 
So the original command of God 

55
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:59,190
was five things in Genesis 
chapter one, verse #28. 

56
00:02:59,190 --> 00:03:00,790
This is in the perfect state 
when there was. 

57
00:03:01,340 --> 00:03:04,660
Man was without sin or without 
stain or without contaminant. 

58
00:03:04,980 --> 00:03:08,460
God had to work for man in the 
earth, and He gave him five 

59
00:03:08,460 --> 00:03:10,260
things to do. 
There's still five things that 

60
00:03:10,260 --> 00:03:13,660
are He called us to do today, 
which is to be fruitful, 

61
00:03:13,980 --> 00:03:16,980
multiply, replenish, subdue, and
have dominion. 

62
00:03:17,420 --> 00:03:21,700
All right, then we go over to 
Genesis chapter 2, and I want to

63
00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:26,260
go to verse #15 and read verse 
#15 and verse #16. 

64
00:03:26,860 --> 00:03:29,300
Then the Lord God took the man 
and put him in the garden of 

65
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:32,540
Eden, is to tend it and to keep 
it in the Lord God commanded the

66
00:03:32,540 --> 00:03:34,980
man, saying, of every tree of 
the garden You may eat freely, 

67
00:03:35,260 --> 00:03:37,540
verse 17 But of the fruit of the
tree of knowledge of good and 

68
00:03:37,540 --> 00:03:40,460
evil you shall not eat, for in 
the day you even eat of it you 

69
00:03:40,460 --> 00:03:43,340
shall surely die. 
So God said to man, be fruitful,

70
00:03:43,340 --> 00:03:45,300
multiply, replenish of do, and 
have dominion. 

71
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:48,220
Then he actually assigned him or
position, and replaced him 

72
00:03:48,220 --> 00:03:49,780
somewhere on the earth. 
Amen. 

73
00:03:50,180 --> 00:03:52,100
And he said, I want you to tend 
and to keep. 

74
00:03:52,420 --> 00:03:54,740
That location that I've given 
you all right. 

75
00:03:55,180 --> 00:04:00,540
But then he said, do not eat of 
one thing. 

76
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:06,860
Everything else is unrestricted.
But this one thing's prohibited.

77
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:11,740
So we know the story. 
In Genesis chapter 3, it says 

78
00:04:11,740 --> 00:04:13,260
verse #1. 
I'm going to read verse the 

79
00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:16,579
number one through verse number.
Oh, let's see. 

80
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:22,140
We'll read for a while. 
This will help you on your Bible

81
00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:25,080
reading plan. 
Now the serpent starting for 

82
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,560
someone, the serpent was more 
cunning than any beast of the 

83
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,160
field which the Lord God had 
made. 

84
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,000
And he said to the woman, has 
God indeed said, you shall not 

85
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,840
eat of every tree of the garden?
And the woman said to the 

86
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:37,040
serpent, We may eat at the fruit
of the trees of the garden, But 

87
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,400
the fruit of the tree which is 
in the middle of the garden, God

88
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,120
has said, You shall not eat, nor
shall you touch it, lest you 

89
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,190
die. 
Then the serpent said of the 

90
00:04:45,190 --> 00:04:48,870
woman, You will not surely die, 
for God does know in the day you

91
00:04:48,870 --> 00:04:50,270
eat of it, your eyes will be 
opened. 

92
00:04:50,270 --> 00:04:52,430
You will be like God, knowing 
good and evil. 

93
00:04:52,670 --> 00:04:55,350
So when the woman saw that the 
tree was good for food, that it 

94
00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:59,070
was pleasant to the eyes, a tree
desirable to make one, why she 

95
00:04:59,070 --> 00:05:02,550
took of its fruit and ate. 
She also gave her husband with 

96
00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:05,630
her, and he also ate. 
Then the eyes of both of them 

97
00:05:05,630 --> 00:05:08,950
were open, and they knew that 
they were naked, and they sewed 

98
00:05:08,950 --> 00:05:11,270
fig leaves together and made 
themselves coverings. 

99
00:05:11,790 --> 00:05:15,230
And then they heard the sound of
the Lord God walking in the 

100
00:05:15,230 --> 00:05:18,270
garden of the cool the day, and 
Adam and his wife hid themselves

101
00:05:18,270 --> 00:05:20,910
from the presence of Lord and 
among the trees of the garden. 

102
00:05:21,310 --> 00:05:25,150
Then the Lord God called to Adam
and said, where are you? 

103
00:05:25,750 --> 00:05:28,870
So Adam said, I heard your voice
in the garden, and I was afraid 

104
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:32,830
because I was naked. 
I hid myself, and God said, Who 

105
00:05:32,830 --> 00:05:37,190
told you that you were naked? 
Have you eaten from the tree of 

106
00:05:37,190 --> 00:05:39,510
which I commanded you that you 
should not eat? 

107
00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:43,200
Then the man, said the woman. 
Whom you gave to be with me, She

108
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,160
gave me of the tree, and I ate. 
Then the God said, The Lord God 

109
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,600
said to the woman, What is this 
that you have done? 

110
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,200
The woman said, The serpent 
deceived me, and I ate. 

111
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,120
Then the Lord God said to the 
serpent, Because you have done 

112
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,080
this, you are cursed more than 
all the cattle and more than 

113
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,320
every beast of the field on the 
on your belly. 

114
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,520
You shall go, and you you shall 
eat. 

115
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,920
Dust all the days of your life. 
I will put enmity between you 

116
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,240
and the woman in between your 
seed and. 

117
00:06:11,610 --> 00:06:16,410
Her seed He shall bruise your 
head, You shall bruise his heel.

118
00:06:16,890 --> 00:06:20,450
Now in verse 15 I'm reading from
the new King James Version, if 

119
00:06:20,450 --> 00:06:23,810
you look at that again. 
It says I will put enmity 

120
00:06:23,810 --> 00:06:26,450
between you and the woman. 
He's talking to the devil, 

121
00:06:26,450 --> 00:06:30,290
right? 
It says between your seed, so 

122
00:06:30,290 --> 00:06:33,570
the seed of the enemy, and then 
it says her seed now. 

123
00:06:33,570 --> 00:06:38,530
If in my Bible it's a capital S,
is it a capital S in your Bible 

124
00:06:38,530 --> 00:06:40,850
on your digital phone? 
See. 

125
00:06:40,850 --> 00:06:46,530
Meaning the Lord Jesus Christ. 
So God went into action when man

126
00:06:46,530 --> 00:06:52,890
failed because God commanded man
and man did what? 

127
00:06:52,890 --> 00:06:55,810
He broke the commandment. 
So when you break the law, guess

128
00:06:55,810 --> 00:06:58,090
what? 
There's a penalty for breaking 

129
00:06:58,090 --> 00:07:02,130
the law if you leave church 
today and you're doing 75 and a 

130
00:07:02,130 --> 00:07:11,240
35 and authority pulls you over.
What are they going to say? 

131
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,760
You violated the speed limit. 
You go fast enough, you don't 

132
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,560
even get a ticket. 
You go to jail, right? 

133
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,960
Because you have become a 
menace. 

134
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,400
You have positioned yourself to 
become a menace or very 

135
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,000
dangerous in society because 
you're going too fast. 

136
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,160
So God guess. 
His Kingdom? 

137
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,920
There's laws within his Kingdom,
and they're there for our. 

138
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,720
Benefit, just like the our U.S. 
government, for the most part. 

139
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:42,650
Tries to create laws. 
To help mankind, right. 

140
00:07:42,650 --> 00:07:46,050
That's why we have stop lights 
are there are there not to keep 

141
00:07:46,050 --> 00:07:49,490
you from having a good time. 
Yellow does not mean go really 

142
00:07:49,490 --> 00:07:58,330
fast. 
Hey man, they're there. 

143
00:07:58,330 --> 00:08:00,210
What? 
To really preserve, protect and 

144
00:08:00,210 --> 00:08:02,130
keep safety. 
Same thing with the law of God. 

145
00:08:02,130 --> 00:08:04,090
Why do you think you said don't 
commit adultery? 

146
00:08:07,070 --> 00:08:08,670
Is that law? 
Still in effect today. 

147
00:08:10,270 --> 00:08:11,710
Why? 
It's going to keep you from 

148
00:08:11,710 --> 00:08:14,230
harm. 
It's going to keep a family from

149
00:08:14,230 --> 00:08:16,950
falling apart. 
It's going to keep the devil 

150
00:08:16,950 --> 00:08:19,990
from getting his his access or 
his entry point into your life. 

151
00:08:19,990 --> 00:08:23,150
Right now is can there be 
redemption in that? 

152
00:08:23,150 --> 00:08:24,830
Yeah. 
But there's also consequence 

153
00:08:24,830 --> 00:08:29,950
with sin. 
So God can redeem and restore. 

154
00:08:30,310 --> 00:08:34,710
But man, it's better not. 
To do it, say Amen. 

155
00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:39,950
So he said, I'm going to put in 
between between your seed and. 

156
00:08:40,950 --> 00:08:45,710
And he said between your seed 
and her seed, talking to the 

157
00:08:45,710 --> 00:08:48,270
seed of woman, talking about 
Jesus Christ. 

158
00:08:48,270 --> 00:08:52,270
So we find in this verse that 
Adam and Eve were in the in 

159
00:08:52,270 --> 00:08:54,110
these verses that they were in 
the perfect position, the 

160
00:08:54,110 --> 00:08:56,670
perfect place, the perfect, 
perfect atmosphere with an 

161
00:08:56,670 --> 00:08:59,350
assignment. 
There was a call. 

162
00:09:00,020 --> 00:09:02,220
There was a plan. 
There was a purpose that God had

163
00:09:02,220 --> 00:09:04,580
for them before sin entered the 
world. 

164
00:09:04,580 --> 00:09:05,700
Guess what? 
There's still a plan. 

165
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:08,460
There's still a call. 
There's still a design that God 

166
00:09:08,460 --> 00:09:12,540
has for us today is born again. 
Believers, all right. 

167
00:09:13,340 --> 00:09:16,020
But in this perfect place, they 
got removed from the perfect 

168
00:09:16,020 --> 00:09:18,460
place because of sin. 
And it said. 

169
00:09:18,460 --> 00:09:20,140
If you eat of the. 
Tree Then guess what? 

170
00:09:20,140 --> 00:09:23,900
Death is going to happen. 
So there's three types of death 

171
00:09:23,900 --> 00:09:27,680
in the Bible. 
All right, two of those I'm 

172
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:29,120
going to cover. 
There's a natural death and a 

173
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,960
spiritual death. 
Both of these happen 

174
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,760
simultaneously at this point. 
Now one didn't manifest till 

175
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,520
much longer. 
Are you with me? 

176
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,480
Spiritual death happened 
instantly, which means that God,

177
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,240
if you go to back to Chad verse 
7 in Genesis two said he 

178
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,720
breathed in that Adam the breath
of life. 

179
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,560
So the spirit of the living God 
came into a holy vessel because 

180
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:53,440
God created him holy, and the 
Spirit of God lived on the 

181
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,320
inside of him, and man became a 
living soul. 

182
00:09:57,250 --> 00:09:59,690
So when he when he sinned 
though, guess what, The Holy 

183
00:09:59,690 --> 00:10:02,690
Spirit was taken from Adam. 
At that point, he would have 

184
00:10:02,690 --> 00:10:06,970
lived forever on the earth if he
would have never sinned. 

185
00:10:07,570 --> 00:10:08,930
But since he did sin, guess 
what? 

186
00:10:08,930 --> 00:10:12,330
The consequence of sin came in 
and he died both naturally and 

187
00:10:12,330 --> 00:10:14,410
physically. 
Now, naturally, you'll read that

188
00:10:14,410 --> 00:10:17,010
they live for hundreds of years 
until the flood, right? 

189
00:10:17,890 --> 00:10:19,970
But guess what? 
Natural death did happen later, 

190
00:10:19,970 --> 00:10:22,050
but it was always a 
manifestation of what happened 

191
00:10:22,050 --> 00:10:25,160
spiritually. 
Issues of the flesh are result 

192
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,880
of issues of the Spirit. 
So what's going on spiritually 

193
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,160
is going to manifest naturally. 
But it happened spiritually 

194
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,640
first, right? 
So guess what God did in His 

195
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,680
work of redemption? 
Like I said, this is review 

196
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:40,960
rehearsal reminder for most of 
you. 

197
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,440
But you know what? 
We need to stir our way. 

198
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,280
It serves up every day that 
we've been redeemed, if you have

199
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,950
been redeemed. 
The Bible says let the redeem to

200
00:10:47,950 --> 00:10:50,670
the Lord say so. 
This is the year of reigning 

201
00:10:50,670 --> 00:10:52,270
resonance. 
One of your confessions every 

202
00:10:52,270 --> 00:10:54,350
day should be God. 
I'm redeemed. 

203
00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:58,030
What does redeem mean? 
Well, guess what? 

204
00:10:58,230 --> 00:10:58,910
When? 
Um. 

205
00:10:59,580 --> 00:11:01,500
They broke the commandment Adam 
and Eve. 

206
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:04,820
They gave dominion to the devil.
2nd Corinthians 4 four says the 

207
00:11:04,820 --> 00:11:08,020
devil's the God of this world. 
How did the devil get the right 

208
00:11:08,020 --> 00:11:11,380
to be the God of this world? 
Because Adam and Eve were in 

209
00:11:11,380 --> 00:11:14,340
charge or an authority on this 
earth and when they blew it, 

210
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:17,060
they gave the authority to the 
one they blew it towards, which 

211
00:11:17,060 --> 00:11:19,820
is the devil. 
But thank God there's a work of 

212
00:11:19,820 --> 00:11:24,580
redemption in Jesus Christ. 
Redemption means this releasing 

213
00:11:24,580 --> 00:11:29,120
affected by payment of ransom. 
Deliverance and liberation. 

214
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,520
I'll say that definition again. 
Released and affected by payment

215
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,720
of ransom. 
Deliverance and liberation. 

216
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,200
So in the work of redemption, 
when man fell, he need to be 

217
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,840
restored to his position or his 
place with God. 

218
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,600
And there's only one person that
could do that. 

219
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,880
Cuz sent, tainted, sent, 
contaminated, the spirit of man,

220
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,000
and therefore fellowship was 
broken. 

221
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,680
Spiritually speaking now to God 
in the Old Testament, he passed 

222
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:57,160
over things through the 
Tabernacle and the things that 

223
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,920
he set up. 
But guess what He said. 

224
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,960
There's going to come up my seed
in the earth that's going to 

225
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,360
once and for all pay the 
redemption for mankind. 

226
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,160
So let's go to the New Testament
Romans, chapter 3, verses 21 

227
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,730
through 24. 
Romans chapter 3 verses 21 

228
00:12:12,730 --> 00:12:15,290
through 24. 
But now the righteousness of God

229
00:12:15,610 --> 00:12:18,330
apart from the laws revealed, 
being witnessed by the law and 

230
00:12:18,330 --> 00:12:21,170
the prophets, even the 
righteousness of God through 

231
00:12:21,170 --> 00:12:26,050
faith in Jesus Christ to all and
and all who believe. 

232
00:12:26,490 --> 00:12:29,730
For there is no difference all 
of sin and fallen short of the 

233
00:12:29,730 --> 00:12:33,250
glory of God, but being. 
Justified freely by His grace 

234
00:12:33,250 --> 00:12:37,930
through the redemption that is 
in Christ Jesus. 

235
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:46,840
Ephesians chapter one, verse #7.
In him Jesus we have redemption 

236
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:52,200
through His blood, the 
forgiveness of sins according to

237
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:57,520
the riches of His grace. 
What Adam lost when you call on 

238
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,440
the name of the Lord is restored
because of the finished work and

239
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,770
because of the blood of Jesus. 
Colossians chapter one. 

240
00:13:05,770 --> 00:13:08,250
I really like this one verses 13
through 14. 

241
00:13:08,250 --> 00:13:12,690
I'm going to read this in the 
Amplified Bible for He which is 

242
00:13:12,930 --> 00:13:17,890
Jesus has rescued us, we could 
say redeemed us and has drawn us

243
00:13:17,890 --> 00:13:24,170
to himself from the dominion of 
darkness and has transferred us 

244
00:13:24,610 --> 00:13:28,810
into the Kingdom of His beloved 
Son and whom we have redemption 

245
00:13:29,090 --> 00:13:32,050
because of Jesus sacrifice 
resulting in. 

246
00:13:32,510 --> 00:13:36,430
The forgiveness of sin and the 
cancellation of sins penalty. 

247
00:13:36,990 --> 00:13:40,070
Who I like that. 
Let me say that again. 

248
00:13:40,070 --> 00:13:43,030
The last part of that we have 
because of the work of 

249
00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:46,830
redemption, the forgiveness of 
sins and the cancellation of 

250
00:13:46,830 --> 00:13:49,870
sins penalty. 
Hallelujah. 

251
00:13:51,070 --> 00:13:55,790
Romans chapter 5 verses 12 
through 17. 

252
00:13:56,710 --> 00:13:59,790
Therefore, just as through one 
man, sin enter the world. 

253
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,400
And through death through sin, 
And thus death spread to all 

254
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,560
men, because all sin. 
For until the law sin was in the

255
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:12,160
world, but sin is not imputed 
where there is no law. 

256
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,320
Nevertheless, death reign from 
Adam to Moses, even though even 

257
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,880
over those who had not sinned, 
according to the likeness of the

258
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,920
transgression of Adam, who is a 
type, who is a type of him who 

259
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,100
it was to come. 
But the free gift is not like 

260
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:31,660
the offense. 
For if by the one man's offense 

261
00:14:31,660 --> 00:14:36,900
many died much more by the grace
of God, and the gift by the 

262
00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:40,740
grace of the one man, Jesus 
Christ abounded to many. 

263
00:14:40,740 --> 00:14:43,980
And the gift is not like that 
which came through the one who 

264
00:14:43,980 --> 00:14:46,420
sinned. 
For the judgment which came from

265
00:14:46,420 --> 00:14:48,540
the one offense resulted in 
condemnation. 

266
00:14:48,540 --> 00:14:52,260
But the free gift, which came 
from many offenses, resulted in 

267
00:14:52,260 --> 00:14:56,300
justification for if by one's 
man offense, death reign through

268
00:14:56,300 --> 00:14:58,580
the one. 
Much more, those who receive 

269
00:14:58,580 --> 00:15:02,380
abundance of grace and the gift 
of righteousness will reign in 

270
00:15:02,380 --> 00:15:04,380
life through the one Jesus 
Christ. 

271
00:15:04,620 --> 00:15:09,020
This just summarized Genesis Two
and Three talking about the 

272
00:15:09,020 --> 00:15:12,460
transgression of Adam and the 
restoration through Jesus for. 

273
00:15:12,460 --> 00:15:16,380
Those that have made Jesus Lord,
I want to go to Romans chapter 

274
00:15:16,380 --> 00:15:22,140
10, verses 9 through 10, Romans 
chapter 10 verses 9 through 10. 

275
00:15:22,460 --> 00:15:24,980
This says that if you, you 
confess. 

276
00:15:24,980 --> 00:15:29,770
With your mouth. 
The Lord Jesus and believe in 

277
00:15:29,770 --> 00:15:33,850
your heart that God has raised 
him from the dead you will be 

278
00:15:34,090 --> 00:15:38,090
saved, for with the heart, with 
the heart one believes under 

279
00:15:38,090 --> 00:15:41,450
righteousness, and with the 
mouth confession is made unto 

280
00:15:41,450 --> 00:15:47,050
salvation. 
Hebrews Chapter 9, verse 22, the

281
00:15:47,050 --> 00:15:48,930
latter. 
Part of the verse says without 

282
00:15:48,930 --> 00:15:50,370
the. 
Shedding of blood there's no 

283
00:15:50,370 --> 00:15:52,890
remission of. 
Sins. 

284
00:15:53,690 --> 00:15:58,390
So I say this today, Church. 
Is there anybody in this 

285
00:15:58,750 --> 00:16:03,230
sanctuary day that has not made 
Jesus Lord or experienced the 

286
00:16:03,230 --> 00:16:06,030
redemption, the ransom payment 
that he made for you? 

287
00:16:07,190 --> 00:16:11,070
It's a free gift. 
All you have to do is call. 

288
00:16:11,070 --> 00:16:13,390
On the name of the Lord Jesus 
And guess what? 

289
00:16:13,390 --> 00:16:16,750
You will be saved. 
Anybody in the sanctuary today 

290
00:16:16,750 --> 00:16:18,350
want to make Jesus Lord right 
now? 

291
00:16:21,990 --> 00:16:22,790
Anyone. 
I'm looking. 

292
00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:24,310
Left to right. 
We don't have to have an ultra 

293
00:16:24,310 --> 00:16:26,860
call at the end. 
This is how I thought the Holy 

294
00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:34,900
Ghost wanted me to do it today. 
Anyone. 

295
00:16:37,780 --> 00:16:39,460
Well, I'm going to have. 
We're going to do a confession 

296
00:16:39,460 --> 00:16:43,420
together, all right? 
Just because it's the right 

297
00:16:43,420 --> 00:16:45,820
thing to do. 
Say this with me. 

298
00:16:45,820 --> 00:16:50,860
Say Heavenly Father. 
I believe Jesus is the Lamb of 

299
00:16:50,860 --> 00:16:57,000
God that takes away. 
The sins of the world and the 

300
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,240
penalty of sin. 
I believe that Adam fell because

301
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:09,000
he disobeyed the word of God. 
But in Jesus the payment has 

302
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:16,839
been made for me to get back 
into your Kingdom, and I declare

303
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,760
that Jesus Christ is Lord. 
I receive His payment. 

304
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,880
I receive His finished work. 
I receive His blood. 

305
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,480
That's on the mercy seat. 
I believe it came this earth. 

306
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,080
He walked it. 
For 33 years he was crucified. 

307
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:46,800
Died, was buried but resurrected
on the third day, and now he has

308
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,040
ascended. 
He's seated at the right hand of

309
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,510
the father. 
And the word says whoever calls 

310
00:17:54,510 --> 00:17:58,830
on his name will be saved. 
I thank you. 

311
00:17:58,830 --> 00:18:03,390
I'm redeemed in Jesus name. 
Amen. 

312
00:18:10,190 --> 00:18:14,310
Hallelujah. 
So this message is specific then

313
00:18:15,910 --> 00:18:19,870
to those that believe that that 
have done that. 

314
00:18:20,740 --> 00:18:23,820
This message is consecrated 
Kingdom Coal. 

315
00:18:24,660 --> 00:18:31,180
I I want this tile it Now what? 
Now what? 

316
00:18:31,300 --> 00:18:35,740
Meaning that was awesome. 
What a liberation, what a 

317
00:18:35,740 --> 00:18:39,300
freedom, what a work that he did
for us. 

318
00:18:39,740 --> 00:18:43,660
What a gratefulness. 
When when we're at PCI. 

319
00:18:43,660 --> 00:18:44,820
Just want to relate this real 
quick. 

320
00:18:44,820 --> 00:18:46,900
We are at PCI Putnam Correction 
Institute. 

321
00:18:47,380 --> 00:18:51,610
Well, it's been August now. 
Last month and we had a Kingdom 

322
00:18:51,610 --> 00:18:54,170
rise first, Kingdom rise 
conference we did in there and I

323
00:18:54,170 --> 00:18:57,010
was able to look at those 
inmates and it was a powerful 

324
00:18:57,010 --> 00:19:01,130
time of ministry that we had to 
to bring the Kingdom of God to 

325
00:19:01,130 --> 00:19:02,730
them. 
Because the Bible says we're 

326
00:19:02,730 --> 00:19:04,930
taken out of 1 Kingdom, the 
Kingdom of darkness and brought 

327
00:19:04,930 --> 00:19:09,530
into the Kingdom of light. 
And you know what the Kingdom of

328
00:19:09,530 --> 00:19:13,450
light isn't when you die. 
The Kingdom of light happens 

329
00:19:13,450 --> 00:19:16,570
when you give your life to God 
through Jesus. 

330
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,560
And you're when you say Jesus, 
your Lord, you know what Lord 

331
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,560
means in the in the Greek, Greek
was the what the new testimony 

332
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,680
is written in. 
It means he's the master. 

333
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,840
He's the owner. 
Let me let me say it this way. 

334
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,480
He has the final decision for my
life. 

335
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,080
I really like this definition. 
That means he's the possessor 

336
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,160
and the dispossessor. 
Of a thing he possesses me, but 

337
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,400
by his ownership he has a right 
to tell me whatever I need to 

338
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,460
do. 
And whatever God says out of 

339
00:19:47,460 --> 00:19:50,060
love is going to be for the 
greatest benefit for my life and

340
00:19:50,060 --> 00:19:53,420
the others around me. 
Whatever God says for me to do 

341
00:19:53,420 --> 00:19:56,860
is going to be for the greatest 
benefit for my life and those 

342
00:19:56,860 --> 00:19:58,300
around me. 
Let me say it one more time, 

343
00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:02,260
Whatever God, Jesus, the Lord 
Jesus Christ says for you to do 

344
00:20:02,260 --> 00:20:05,300
is going to be for the greatest 
benefit for your life and for 

345
00:20:05,300 --> 00:20:10,980
those that are around you. 
So we're not PCI, you know? 

346
00:20:11,580 --> 00:20:14,820
It was an amazing I I wish I 
could just summarize everybody 

347
00:20:14,820 --> 00:20:17,980
from you know Josh pastor Earl 
Roth everybody we had some 

348
00:20:17,980 --> 00:20:20,620
chance to minister there was is 
great but I I got to look at 

349
00:20:20,620 --> 00:20:24,220
those inmates and I got to say 
this is all of you're in here 

350
00:20:24,220 --> 00:20:29,820
for a reason because you 
violated or broke the law and 

351
00:20:29,820 --> 00:20:34,900
you're guilty as charged. 
Now, some fight it, some say I'm

352
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,980
not guilty, you know, whatever 
the circumstances. 

353
00:20:37,980 --> 00:20:40,180
But the fact is they had enough 
evidence. 

354
00:20:42,540 --> 00:20:45,380
That a verdict was passed by a 
judge to say you were guilty, 

355
00:20:46,860 --> 00:20:51,060
right. 
But I I said this to them so 

356
00:20:51,060 --> 00:20:57,260
that the payment has to be made.
If you did this crime. 

357
00:20:57,260 --> 00:21:00,860
There's a duration associated 
with that time that a judge 

358
00:21:00,940 --> 00:21:03,300
ultimately determines. 
It could be two to four years, 

359
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:05,140
but ultimately it's going to 
determine this. 

360
00:21:05,180 --> 00:21:09,540
This is what satisfies or pays 
for the crime that you did. 

361
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,360
So I got to relate to them and I
pray this sticks with you. 

362
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:19,640
Is what Jesus did for the US is 
we were guilty and there was a 

363
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,960
penalty passed and it it was for
a lifetime. 

364
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,720
If you do not know Jesus, guess 
what, You are separated from the

365
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,800
Father. 
Eventually you'll be in hell if 

366
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,960
you don't receive him. 
That's the the final verdict on 

367
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,000
it, right? 
But I told those inmates that, 

368
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,400
listen, it's like Jesus coming 
in here and saying you committed

369
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,880
murder. 
It's a lifetime penalty. 

370
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,280
But I'm actually going in into 
the cell for you and letting you

371
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:54,000
walk free. 
What? 

372
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,800
Imagine that that happened in 
your life. 

373
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,000
Would you be? 
Disrespectful or dishonorable to

374
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,960
the person that traded places 
with you. 

375
00:22:09,420 --> 00:22:13,980
How could you, if you did commit
murder, want to go do that again

376
00:22:13,980 --> 00:22:16,340
and get right back into the same
place even though he paid the 

377
00:22:16,340 --> 00:22:18,540
price for you? 
No, you would go out a free 

378
00:22:18,540 --> 00:22:21,900
person saying I am never thank 
God for the one what? 

379
00:22:22,020 --> 00:22:25,180
Jesus is the one that liberated 
us. 

380
00:22:26,220 --> 00:22:28,900
And I'm telling your life can be
honorable and grateful and 

381
00:22:28,900 --> 00:22:32,140
thankful consistently what he's 
done. 

382
00:22:32,660 --> 00:22:34,260
And that's why. 
Consecration. 

383
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,440
To his call is so important. 
There's a purpose of plan of 

384
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,440
design that he has for you once 
you're born again. 

385
00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:46,400
That's why I said, now what? 
Now that now that it's settled, 

386
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,440
there's a plan that we go to 
participate. 

387
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,640
If you just read the Bible, say,
read the Bible, read the Bible, 

388
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,920
say I'm reading the Bible. 
Now, for some of you that may be

389
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,040
a confession of faith. 
Some of you that may be a 

390
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,120
witness or testimony that I am 
reading the Bible. 

391
00:23:03,690 --> 00:23:07,570
Either way, say read the Bible. 
There there are stories of great

392
00:23:07,570 --> 00:23:09,490
men and women, the earth. 
And guess what Their attitude 

393
00:23:09,490 --> 00:23:12,930
was never it's settled when I 
get there. 

394
00:23:12,930 --> 00:23:16,250
They, always, the great men and 
women, always had a relationship

395
00:23:16,250 --> 00:23:19,650
and an assignment. 
That God gave them I We could 

396
00:23:19,650 --> 00:23:22,250
cover so many people. 
I could go to Hebrews 11 right 

397
00:23:22,250 --> 00:23:24,410
now, which is the Hall of Fame 
of Faith. 

398
00:23:25,220 --> 00:23:29,140
There there's sixteen men and 
women mentioned specifically in 

399
00:23:29,140 --> 00:23:32,580
that chapter but but it alludes 
to many others because it says 

400
00:23:32,580 --> 00:23:35,660
time would fail me to tell of 
all the others that through 

401
00:23:35,660 --> 00:23:39,340
actions of faith they subdued 
kingdoms, worked righteousness. 

402
00:23:40,220 --> 00:23:43,300
You know, some somebody want to 
be resurrected because they they

403
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:45,700
knew that was going to be a 
greater glory because they were 

404
00:23:45,700 --> 00:23:47,740
martyred for the gospel. 
But there was always an 

405
00:23:47,740 --> 00:23:50,260
assignment with every man and 
woman of God. 

406
00:23:50,260 --> 00:23:52,060
And guess what? 
God has not changed his mind. 

407
00:23:52,060 --> 00:24:01,140
There's a plan for. 
Today, Matthew, Chapter 22, 

408
00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:07,980
verse #14, I'm going to give you
this thought. 

409
00:24:07,980 --> 00:24:10,940
Then read, What are you going to
do with the time you have left 

410
00:24:11,060 --> 00:24:17,780
that God's given you? 
Some of us have more time than 

411
00:24:17,780 --> 00:24:21,940
others. 
Hallelujah. 

412
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:25,290
I don't ever say I'm killing 
time. 

413
00:24:26,890 --> 00:24:30,530
Can we eradicate that from our 
vocabulary right now? 

414
00:24:30,530 --> 00:24:34,170
Church, I'm trying to help you 
out Now. 

415
00:24:34,170 --> 00:24:40,810
You may be resting, but rest on 
purpose, but you're never 

416
00:24:40,810 --> 00:24:42,410
killing time. 
I'm always investing time. 

417
00:24:42,410 --> 00:24:44,490
Everybody has 168 hours in a 
week. 

418
00:24:46,970 --> 00:24:48,730
What are you doing with the time
that God's giving you? 

419
00:24:50,250 --> 00:24:52,490
Time is really an investment. 
Time is really more important 

420
00:24:52,490 --> 00:24:56,890
than money. 
God can, let me put this way, 

421
00:24:56,890 --> 00:24:57,930
redeem time. 
Amen. 

422
00:25:01,170 --> 00:25:04,210
Matthew 2214 says many are 
called, but few are chosen. 

423
00:25:05,370 --> 00:25:13,170
Where are you at in this verse? 
Many are called. 

424
00:25:13,570 --> 00:25:16,290
That means I heard a call for 
redemption. 

425
00:25:17,970 --> 00:25:20,450
I've submitted and surrender my 
life to Jesus. 

426
00:25:22,510 --> 00:25:29,670
But now what called? 
But many are called but few. 

427
00:25:29,670 --> 00:25:33,390
Are chosen. 
Listen called means this. 

428
00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:39,550
It means that your God has 
called you to an office. 

429
00:25:39,550 --> 00:25:41,950
Or he could put this way, he's 
when I say office, I'll say a 

430
00:25:41,950 --> 00:25:45,230
position or a place. 
This is your homework 

431
00:25:45,230 --> 00:25:48,590
assignment, OK? 
Because if I give you all the 

432
00:25:48,590 --> 00:25:54,650
answers, learning stops. 
First Corinthians, chapter 12. 

433
00:25:55,330 --> 00:25:59,850
Read that whole thing this week.
This is a picture of the body of

434
00:25:59,850 --> 00:26:03,770
Christ. 
OK And and it great. 

435
00:26:03,770 --> 00:26:06,090
Read it in the Message Bible. 
Read it in a couple different 

436
00:26:06,090 --> 00:26:09,970
translations. 
Some of you have over over 

437
00:26:12,090 --> 00:26:14,050
achievers. 
Read in five different 

438
00:26:14,050 --> 00:26:18,010
translations. 
Amen. 

439
00:26:18,610 --> 00:26:22,370
Because you need to see yourself
in that. 

440
00:26:25,050 --> 00:26:27,290
I had Ricky get me a pin, but 
I'm going to say this now. 

441
00:26:29,930 --> 00:26:31,330
Hallelujah. 
But this goes with some of my 

442
00:26:31,330 --> 00:26:32,810
takeaways. 
At the end of the of the sermon 

443
00:26:33,090 --> 00:26:37,450
yesterday, I told you there was 
some college football games 

444
00:26:39,290 --> 00:26:41,890
right now. 
I could care less about it. 

445
00:26:41,890 --> 00:26:44,130
It's it's a fun little thing to 
watch. 

446
00:26:44,130 --> 00:26:46,330
I got my team, but in the grand 
scheme of life. 

447
00:26:47,770 --> 00:26:51,650
Somebody asked me on Friday, 
they said about Saturday. 

448
00:26:51,650 --> 00:26:53,570
And this isn't just just 
bragged, they said. 

449
00:26:55,090 --> 00:26:56,090
I forget what they said they 
said. 

450
00:26:56,090 --> 00:26:58,250
Something about. 
I hope it goes. 

451
00:26:58,250 --> 00:27:01,850
Well, tomorrow night and I'm 
thinking, what's going on? 

452
00:27:02,890 --> 00:27:04,810
That was there. 
Is there a church thing going 

453
00:27:04,810 --> 00:27:05,890
on? 
I was trying to remember what 

454
00:27:05,890 --> 00:27:08,330
was going on. 
Am I missing? 

455
00:27:08,330 --> 00:27:10,330
I was like, I thought Saturday's
pretty open, but it was the 

456
00:27:10,330 --> 00:27:14,170
Buckeyes are playing Notre Dame 
and I totally blanked out 

457
00:27:15,050 --> 00:27:16,530
because I'm going to root for 
the Buckeyes. 

458
00:27:17,250 --> 00:27:20,250
I'm from Columbus so that but it
it just it did. 

459
00:27:20,250 --> 00:27:22,290
I knew the game was coming. 
I wanted to watch it obviously, 

460
00:27:22,290 --> 00:27:24,810
but I was not geared thinking 
about that at that moment. 

461
00:27:24,810 --> 00:27:26,770
I was thinking I don't want to 
miss out was. 

462
00:27:27,170 --> 00:27:28,930
Like his Caleb club. 
Going on or something. 

463
00:27:28,930 --> 00:27:32,490
Like but I thought was a church 
related event. 

464
00:27:32,490 --> 00:27:35,970
That I thought I forgot about. 
I'm like, wow, But it dawned on 

465
00:27:35,970 --> 00:27:40,330
me, but the game doesn't mean 
anything in the grand scheme of 

466
00:27:40,330 --> 00:27:42,890
thing. 
But the the take away does so 

467
00:27:42,890 --> 00:27:45,930
that in that game, whether 
you're a Notre Dame fan or a 

468
00:27:45,930 --> 00:27:49,140
Buckeye fan. 
At the end that game, when it 

469
00:27:49,140 --> 00:27:52,620
comes to the amount of players 
they allow on the field at one 

470
00:27:52,620 --> 00:27:55,660
time, how many is that? 
11. 

471
00:27:56,860 --> 00:27:59,060
So this game was a tight game, 
is 14 to 10. 

472
00:27:59,060 --> 00:28:02,300
There's about 17 seconds left, 
the Buckeye said third and 19. 

473
00:28:03,300 --> 00:28:06,220
And they they throw the 
quarterback throws. 

474
00:28:06,780 --> 00:28:10,700
They're they're about 20 yards. 
Roughly from from the end zone, 

475
00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:12,180
right? 
So they they need a touchdown to

476
00:28:12,180 --> 00:28:13,580
win the game with about 17 
seconds. 

477
00:28:13,900 --> 00:28:17,300
They throw a pass. 
The receiver catches it about 

478
00:28:17,580 --> 00:28:20,820
1/2 a yard short of the goal 
line. 

479
00:28:20,820 --> 00:28:22,060
Everybody know what a goal line 
is. 

480
00:28:23,380 --> 00:28:25,220
That's where they scare a 
touchdown in points. 

481
00:28:25,220 --> 00:28:29,740
You get points. 
GP, are you with me? 

482
00:28:32,780 --> 00:28:36,740
Anybody from like early 90s, if 
you don't pray in the Holy 

483
00:28:36,740 --> 00:28:38,580
Ghost, maybe got to reveal who 
that author is to you. 

484
00:28:40,540 --> 00:28:44,740
So anyways there's that they 
have no timeouts left. 

485
00:28:44,740 --> 00:28:47,020
So they the the quarterback runs
down, you know and then the 

486
00:28:47,020 --> 00:28:48,940
clock is ticking right and so he
runs down. 

487
00:28:48,940 --> 00:28:51,060
He's when you throw the ball 
down it stops the clock. 

488
00:28:51,620 --> 00:28:55,220
So they they have 3 seconds 
left, right and they need a 

489
00:28:55,220 --> 00:28:57,860
touchdown to win. 
So I'm like, actually Don's 

490
00:28:57,860 --> 00:29:01,140
texting me, but I I don't like 
to watch the game in its 

491
00:29:01,140 --> 00:29:03,420
entirety and I don't like to 
know the score. 

492
00:29:04,540 --> 00:29:06,540
I let it play. 
And then I can Fast forward 

493
00:29:06,540 --> 00:29:08,180
because I don't want to do the 
commercials, spend 3 hours 

494
00:29:08,180 --> 00:29:11,620
watching the game. 
So even though, you know I'm a 

495
00:29:11,620 --> 00:29:13,420
Buckeye fan, don't text me the 
score. 

496
00:29:14,140 --> 00:29:19,260
It ruins the moment. 
I'll forgive you if you do, but 

497
00:29:21,580 --> 00:29:23,980
that's just how I how I'm built.
I let the game get way ahead and

498
00:29:23,980 --> 00:29:26,020
then I can just go through in an
hour not to spend 3 hours. 

499
00:29:26,940 --> 00:29:29,660
So anyways, the Buckeyes punch 
it in. 

500
00:29:30,620 --> 00:29:31,900
They score. 
They win the game. 

501
00:29:33,170 --> 00:29:35,370
But I found out this morning, 
you know what happened. 

502
00:29:36,450 --> 00:29:40,450
Notre Dame, even though you have
11 players on the field, they 

503
00:29:40,450 --> 00:29:42,290
went back and they counted the 
last two players. 

504
00:29:42,290 --> 00:29:43,730
They only had ten players on the
field. 

505
00:29:45,450 --> 00:29:48,490
So that gave them a disadvantage
to actually stop, right? 

506
00:29:48,970 --> 00:29:52,850
But I got to think about that. 
The church many are called, but 

507
00:29:52,850 --> 00:29:56,890
few are chosen. 
And if you're missing your 

508
00:29:56,890 --> 00:30:03,200
place, it could cost the team. 
Pastor April said victory. 

509
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,320
Well, you know victory means you
being in your position. 

510
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:13,440
If we need 11 people and there's
only 10 because you fail to 

511
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,480
consecrate to the call, we could
lose. 

512
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,240
Amen. 
Jeremiah, chapter 29, verse #11.

513
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,680
So God needs you in place. 
God is faithful. 

514
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:38,960
If you fail to choose to 
consecrate and let me define 

515
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,720
consecration for you. 
It's a term that the world could

516
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,600
use too. 
You know, Jesus didn't use terms

517
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,720
that people couldn't understand.
He wasn't making up new 

518
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,440
language, right. 
But when I I'm geared, I'll say 

519
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,240
this right now, they're going to
put quotes up. 

520
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,800
Well, I'll get there in a 
second. 

521
00:30:59,860 --> 00:31:01,740
Consecration means you're set 
apart. 

522
00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:04,740
We'll just simply, it means 
dedicated. 

523
00:31:06,260 --> 00:31:08,460
You know what happens every four
years When it comes to athletes,

524
00:31:08,460 --> 00:31:12,140
there's the Olympics. 
That's what consecration is. 

525
00:31:12,140 --> 00:31:16,420
Those athletes, guess what? 
They do what we're not doing, 

526
00:31:17,980 --> 00:31:21,180
which is when I say that 
jokingly, I mean like, I'm not 

527
00:31:21,180 --> 00:31:25,460
training to, you know, I always 
want to do that one little sport

528
00:31:25,460 --> 00:31:26,660
because I wonder how much were 
they? 

529
00:31:26,660 --> 00:31:32,020
They shoved the thing and it. 
The brush guy, you know, I'm 

530
00:31:32,020 --> 00:31:36,100
talking about, what's it called?
Yeah, I'm thinking, how much 

531
00:31:36,100 --> 00:31:39,500
technique is in that, right? 
Oh, I pulled a hamstring. 

532
00:31:42,020 --> 00:31:43,660
I'm not making fun of the curl 
either. 

533
00:31:43,660 --> 00:31:50,460
But Bradley, you're going to 
have to edit that yourself. 

534
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,200
So, but what do they do? 
They dedicate themselves. 

535
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,600
Are they, you know, just eating,
Whatever, whenever. 

536
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,640
Do they have a coach, somebody 
that's maybe been somewhere, 

537
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,000
done something that they haven't
done, that has knowledge? 

538
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,320
Listen guys, there's a there's 
church. 

539
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:13,320
I'm going to tell you, there's a
lot. 

540
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,760
We live in a technology age 
right now and it's great, but 

541
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,800
there's a lot of information out
there and all information is not

542
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,400
good information. 
What the church needs is 

543
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:21,760
knowledge. 
There's a difference between 

544
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,920
knowledge and information. 
You could be an information 

545
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,240
junkie, but really, in the 
Jewish concept, knowledge really

546
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:32,360
to get to it, the Bible's Adam 
said he knew his wife, which was

547
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,320
intimacy, right? 
Right. 

548
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,120
Knowledge means you really 
knows. 

549
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,760
I mean it's applied to your life
information. 

550
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,200
You just got a bunch of facts. 
Knowledge means you actually 

551
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,360
applying truth. 
So a coach, guess what? 

552
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,360
They're going to They're going 
to challenge you. 

553
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,160
They're going to watch your 
form, your technique. 

554
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,760
They're going to keep you 
accountable. 

555
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:52,840
We'll get some of these other 
things later. 

556
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,920
I'm kind of getting ahead 
myself, but it's worth 

557
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,120
repeating. 
So, Jeremiah, chapter 29, verse 

558
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,760
#11. 
The whole thing about that 

559
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,200
consecration means you're 
dedicated. 

560
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,960
Many are called but fewer 
chosen. 

561
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,640
How do I get from call to 
chosen? 

562
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:10,000
Chosen means this, your choice 
your select you're the best of 

563
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,590
its kind or class. 
When you How do you go from 

564
00:33:13,590 --> 00:33:15,670
called to chosen? 
It's called dedication. 

565
00:33:16,830 --> 00:33:19,790
How do you go from called to 
chosen? 

566
00:33:19,790 --> 00:33:22,030
It's called dedication. 
If you want to be choice or 

567
00:33:22,030 --> 00:33:26,110
select or of the best kind, It 
takes dedication. 

568
00:33:26,470 --> 00:33:28,270
Now that you're redeemed. 
Now what? 

569
00:33:28,270 --> 00:33:30,110
Now it's a dedicated life unto 
God. 

570
00:33:30,230 --> 00:33:32,590
He paid the price. 
I should be so grateful every 

571
00:33:32,590 --> 00:33:36,230
day to think that he went in 
that prison for me and release 

572
00:33:36,230 --> 00:33:37,790
me. 
And now I have a liberated life 

573
00:33:37,790 --> 00:33:40,270
from the devil. 
I'm in the Kingdom of God and I 

574
00:33:40,270 --> 00:33:42,110
can make an impact and a 
difference. 

575
00:33:42,540 --> 00:33:45,740
I get to tell other people about
what he did for me that are in 

576
00:33:45,740 --> 00:33:48,780
the Dominion darkness. 
Rescue them out, get them on 

577
00:33:48,780 --> 00:33:51,700
their feet cleaned up and get 
them in their place because we 

578
00:33:51,700 --> 00:33:53,620
don't want anybody falling 
behind. 

579
00:33:53,860 --> 00:33:57,460
If somebody needs redeemed and 
they're the 11th person on the 

580
00:33:57,460 --> 00:34:00,020
team, but we only have 10 
players, you could snatch them 

581
00:34:00,020 --> 00:34:02,340
out, get them connected with 
Anchor Faith Church. 

582
00:34:02,340 --> 00:34:04,700
Then they get equipped to get in
the place that God wanted them 

583
00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:08,030
to be. 
Jeremiah 2911 says. 

584
00:34:08,030 --> 00:34:09,870
For I know the plans I have for 
you, says the Lord. 

585
00:34:09,870 --> 00:34:12,469
They are plans, for good and not
for disaster, to give you a 

586
00:34:12,469 --> 00:34:15,429
future and a hope. 
Romans chapter 8. 

587
00:34:15,710 --> 00:34:19,630
Verse #28 says for we know that 
God causes everything to work 

588
00:34:19,630 --> 00:34:22,790
together for the good of those 
who love God and are called 

589
00:34:22,790 --> 00:34:25,510
according to his purpose. 
For them, you know it's. 

590
00:34:25,510 --> 00:34:27,790
His purpose? 
It's not my plan. 

591
00:34:28,310 --> 00:34:30,830
It's those that love God. 
How do you know that you love 

592
00:34:30,830 --> 00:34:33,190
God? 
The Bible says if you obey his 

593
00:34:33,190 --> 00:34:37,030
commands, that proves or 
demonstrates that you love him. 

594
00:34:40,150 --> 00:34:43,030
If you obey his commands, if God
says to forgive, forgive, 

595
00:34:44,070 --> 00:34:46,949
forgive, Right. 
I want to be obedient to his 

596
00:34:46,949 --> 00:34:50,110
commands. 
That shows that I love him. 

597
00:34:52,530 --> 00:34:54,730
So if you love God, there's 
going to be an evidence through 

598
00:34:54,730 --> 00:34:58,290
obedience and it says that we 
are called then according to his

599
00:34:58,290 --> 00:35:00,130
purpose. 
I want to be in God's purpose, 

600
00:35:00,410 --> 00:35:05,010
not my own purpose or plan. 
I want to give you this verse 

601
00:35:05,010 --> 00:35:07,610
where I move on to some other 
scriptures. 

602
00:35:08,590 --> 00:35:10,990
Galatians chapter 2, verse #20. 
I'm going to read this from two 

603
00:35:10,990 --> 00:35:12,790
different translations. 
Now what? 

604
00:35:12,790 --> 00:35:15,310
Now that you've been redeemed, I
love what Paul says in these 

605
00:35:15,310 --> 00:35:17,190
verses. 
What are you going to do? 

606
00:35:17,390 --> 00:35:20,150
He said I have been crucified 
with Christ is no longer I that 

607
00:35:20,150 --> 00:35:23,110
live, but Christ lives in me. 
The life that I now live in the 

608
00:35:23,110 --> 00:35:24,590
flesh. 
I live by faith by the Son of 

609
00:35:24,590 --> 00:35:28,190
God who loved me and gave 
himself for me. 

610
00:35:28,550 --> 00:35:30,190
Now another translation says it 
this way. 

611
00:35:30,190 --> 00:35:33,870
I consider myself as having died
and now enjoying a second 

612
00:35:33,870 --> 00:35:37,870
existence, which is simply Jesus
using my body. 

613
00:35:40,110 --> 00:35:43,630
I have died. 
The old man, the unregenerate, 

614
00:35:43,750 --> 00:35:45,710
the one that was in the Kingdom 
of darkness, now has been 

615
00:35:45,710 --> 00:35:48,310
translated in the Kingdom of 
light, and now it's just simply 

616
00:35:48,310 --> 00:35:51,790
the word of God using my body. 
Amen. 

617
00:35:54,270 --> 00:36:00,230
In Matthew chapter 25. 
I'm going to start in verse #14,

618
00:36:04,750 --> 00:36:06,590
Matthew 25. 
This is the parable of the 

619
00:36:06,590 --> 00:36:15,580
talents, and the word says this.
This is a Kingdom message 

620
00:36:17,780 --> 00:36:24,340
starting in verse #14 for the. 
Kingdom of heaven is like a man 

621
00:36:24,340 --> 00:36:26,740
traveling to a far country, 
called his own servants and 

622
00:36:26,740 --> 00:36:30,140
delivered his goods to them. 
Whose goods were they? 

623
00:36:30,980 --> 00:36:32,260
His. 
The masters? 

624
00:36:33,340 --> 00:36:34,980
So guess what? 
When you get born again, guess 

625
00:36:34,980 --> 00:36:36,340
what? 
He put something on the inside 

626
00:36:36,340 --> 00:36:38,990
of you. 
He places something on the 

627
00:36:38,990 --> 00:36:43,270
inside of you and to one he gave
5 talents, to another two and 

628
00:36:43,270 --> 00:36:46,150
another one to each according 
his own ability and immediately 

629
00:36:46,150 --> 00:36:49,070
he went on a journey. 
Then he would receive the final 

630
00:36:49,070 --> 00:36:51,990
talents, went and traded with 
him and made another 5 talents 

631
00:36:51,990 --> 00:36:55,310
and likewise he had received 2 
talents, made two more. 

632
00:36:55,550 --> 00:36:57,230
But he would. 
Receive one went, dug it in the 

633
00:36:57,230 --> 00:36:58,630
ground, and hit his Lord's 
money. 

634
00:36:58,830 --> 00:37:01,510
After a long time the Lord of 
those servants came and settled 

635
00:37:01,510 --> 00:37:06,540
accounts with them, so he. 
Who had received 5 towns, came 

636
00:37:06,540 --> 00:37:09,500
and brought five other towns. 
Saying Lord, you delivered to me

637
00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:11,540
5 talents. 
Look, I have gained 5 more 

638
00:37:11,540 --> 00:37:14,900
talents besides them his Lord 
said him well done, good and 

639
00:37:14,900 --> 00:37:16,700
faithful servant. 
You were faithful over a few 

640
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,740
things. 
I will make you roll over many 

641
00:37:18,740 --> 00:37:20,660
things. 
Enter into the joy of the Lord. 

642
00:37:21,100 --> 00:37:23,020
Verse 22. 
He also had he. 

643
00:37:23,020 --> 00:37:26,300
He also had received 2 talents, 
Came and said, Lord, you 

644
00:37:26,300 --> 00:37:29,900
delivered to me two talents. 
Look, I've gained 2 more also. 

645
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,080
Verse 23 His Lord said, I'm well
done, good and faithful servant.

646
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,520
You have been faithful over a 
few things. 

647
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,720
I'll make you ruler over many 
things. 

648
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,200
Enter into the joy the Lord. 
Verse 24 Then he had received 

649
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,880
the one talent came and said, 
Lord, I knew you to be a hard 

650
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,750
man. 
Reaping where you have not sewn,

651
00:37:44,750 --> 00:37:47,430
and gathering where you have not
scattered seed, I was afraid, 

652
00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:49,190
and went hit your town in the 
ground. 

653
00:37:49,190 --> 00:37:50,990
Look, there you have what is 
yours. 

654
00:37:51,310 --> 00:37:53,870
But his Lord answered and said 
to him, You wicked and lazy 

655
00:37:53,870 --> 00:37:56,630
servant, you knew that I reap 
where I have not sewn together, 

656
00:37:56,630 --> 00:37:58,230
where I have not a scattered 
seed. 

657
00:37:58,510 --> 00:38:02,270
You ought to have deposited my 
money with the bankers, and at 

658
00:38:02,270 --> 00:38:05,510
my coming I would have at least 
received back mine. 

659
00:38:06,010 --> 00:38:09,690
With interest, therefore, take 
the town from him who gave to 

660
00:38:09,690 --> 00:38:12,690
it, it to him and and give who 
had 10 talents. 

661
00:38:12,970 --> 00:38:16,250
For everyone who has more will 
be given, and he will have 

662
00:38:16,250 --> 00:38:19,730
abundance, but from him who does
not have, even what he has will 

663
00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:22,930
be taken away. 
From him and cast that 

664
00:38:22,930 --> 00:38:26,090
unprofitable servant enter the 
outer darkness of the weeping 

665
00:38:26,090 --> 00:38:29,530
and and gnashing of teeth. 
So God gives everybody goods to 

666
00:38:29,530 --> 00:38:32,010
work with. 
Talents. 

667
00:38:32,010 --> 00:38:36,110
I'll say this Giftings. 
God has put a gift on the inside

668
00:38:36,110 --> 00:38:37,430
of you. 
Hallelujah. 

669
00:38:38,230 --> 00:38:41,630
God has put a gift He's 
deposited on the inside of you. 

670
00:38:42,030 --> 00:38:45,350
A gift. 
And what are you doing with what

671
00:38:45,350 --> 00:38:48,790
he's put on the inside of you 
now? 

672
00:38:49,030 --> 00:38:51,510
What are you doing? 
Are you letting Jesus use your 

673
00:38:51,510 --> 00:38:58,270
body to the glory of God? 
There will be a day when there's

674
00:38:58,270 --> 00:39:02,860
going to come and account for 
what you did with your life. 2nd

675
00:39:02,860 --> 00:39:08,380
Corinthians chapter 5, verse 
#10, Second Corinthians was 

676
00:39:08,380 --> 00:39:16,780
written to the church, right? 
So there's two judgments that 

677
00:39:16,780 --> 00:39:18,860
take place. 
There's the Great White Throne 

678
00:39:18,860 --> 00:39:22,660
judgment. 
The Great White Throne judgment 

679
00:39:22,660 --> 00:39:26,500
is for those that have never 
made Jesus Lord. 

680
00:39:28,140 --> 00:39:33,360
They will at that judgment seat.
They will be separated eternally

681
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,360
from God because they never made
Jesus Christ Lord. 

682
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,280
But then there's also the 
judgment. 

683
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:46,360
Seat of Christ are you with me? 
There's the judgment Seat of 

684
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,000
Christ and 2nd Corinthians 
chapter 5, which this is written

685
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,440
to the church at Corinth. 
So these are born again. 

686
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,480
Believers. 
Verse #10 says we must all 

687
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,880
appear before the judgment. 
Seat of Christ. 

688
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,500
That everyone. 
May receive the things done in 

689
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:04,620
the body according to what he 
has done, whether good or bad. 

690
00:40:06,060 --> 00:40:07,820
So guess what? 
There's the great white throne 

691
00:40:07,820 --> 00:40:09,620
Judgment. 
But for born again believers, 

692
00:40:09,620 --> 00:40:12,500
there's a judgment seat of. 
Christ is going to be an 

693
00:40:12,500 --> 00:40:17,580
evaluation on your life now that
you're redeemed. 

694
00:40:17,580 --> 00:40:21,340
Now what are you consecrated to 
the Kingdom call? 

695
00:40:21,340 --> 00:40:22,300
That's. 
Good. 

696
00:40:22,820 --> 00:40:28,780
First Corinthians chapter Three 
First Corinthians chapter 3. 

697
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:30,400
Say I'm listening. 
I'm listening. 

698
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:36,920
Say, Lord speak. 
Speak First Corinthians chapter 

699
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,280
3, verse #1. 
We're going to read down through

700
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:47,040
verse #15 now just to set this 
up contextually real quick. 

701
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,800
Paul wrote this letter from his 
initial visit. 

702
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,800
Within a period of four to seven
years, he had three missionary 

703
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,240
journeys. 
Corinth was one of the church 

704
00:40:57,240 --> 00:40:59,660
that he founded. 
He followed up with this letter 

705
00:40:59,660 --> 00:41:02,500
upon founding the church to see 
how they were doing. 

706
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:06,420
He was he was getting 
communication of what was going 

707
00:41:06,420 --> 00:41:08,260
on in their lives. 
It was really a lot of messed up

708
00:41:08,260 --> 00:41:09,660
church. 
He had to bring instruction and 

709
00:41:09,660 --> 00:41:13,940
correction. 
Say I love instruction and 

710
00:41:13,940 --> 00:41:20,940
correction. 
You mean that so four to seven 

711
00:41:20,940 --> 00:41:22,500
years. 
But guess what, Paul? 

712
00:41:22,980 --> 00:41:26,500
I'm going to read it Expected 
for them to do from the time 

713
00:41:26,500 --> 00:41:29,660
they got redeemed. 
Was be consecrated to the call. 

714
00:41:30,820 --> 00:41:34,900
So I brother, when I came to you
to speak to you, I could not do 

715
00:41:34,900 --> 00:41:37,740
the spiritual people, but as 
carnal as to babes in Christ, I 

716
00:41:37,740 --> 00:41:41,420
fed you with me milk and not 
with solid food, for until now 

717
00:41:41,420 --> 00:41:43,780
you're not able to receive it, 
and even now you're still not 

718
00:41:43,780 --> 00:41:46,140
able, for you're still carnal. 
For where there are envy, 

719
00:41:46,140 --> 00:41:49,540
strife, divisions among you, are
you not carnal, behaving like 

720
00:41:49,540 --> 00:41:52,420
just natural men? 
For one, one says I'm appalled 

721
00:41:52,420 --> 00:41:53,700
and another says I'm appalled 
us. 

722
00:41:53,700 --> 00:41:55,660
Are you not carnal or just 
fleshly? 

723
00:41:56,140 --> 00:41:57,660
Who then is Paul? 
And who is Apollos, but 

724
00:41:57,660 --> 00:42:00,700
ministers through whom you 
believed, as the Lord gave to 

725
00:42:00,700 --> 00:42:03,740
each one. 
I planted Apollos water, but God

726
00:42:03,740 --> 00:42:06,620
gave the increase. 
So neither he who plants, nor he

727
00:42:06,620 --> 00:42:09,700
who waters is anything but God 
who gives the increase. 

728
00:42:10,020 --> 00:42:15,180
Now he who plants and Hugh 
waters are one, and each one 

729
00:42:15,580 --> 00:42:20,420
will receive his reward 
according to his own labor. 

730
00:42:21,100 --> 00:42:24,220
For we are God's fellow workers.
You are God's field. 

731
00:42:24,220 --> 00:42:27,850
You are God's building. 
According to the grace of God 

732
00:42:27,850 --> 00:42:32,530
which was given to me as a wise 
master builder, I have laid the 

733
00:42:32,530 --> 00:42:34,730
foundation and another builds on
it. 

734
00:42:35,050 --> 00:42:39,210
But let each one take heed how 
he builds on it. 

735
00:42:39,650 --> 00:42:42,530
For no other foundation can 
anyone lay than that which is 

736
00:42:42,530 --> 00:42:46,490
laid, which is Jesus Christ. 
Now, if anyone builds on this 

737
00:42:46,490 --> 00:42:51,010
foundation, Jesus. 
With gold, silver, precious 

738
00:42:51,010 --> 00:42:55,490
stones, wood, hay, and straw, 
each one's work will become 

739
00:42:55,490 --> 00:43:02,530
clear, for the day will declare 
it, because it will be revealed 

740
00:43:02,530 --> 00:43:07,570
by fire, and the fire will test 
each one's work of what sort it 

741
00:43:07,570 --> 00:43:10,250
is. 
If anyone's work which he has 

742
00:43:10,250 --> 00:43:14,650
built on it endures, he will 
receive. 

743
00:43:15,290 --> 00:43:21,270
A reward If anyone's work is 
burned up, he will suffer loss, 

744
00:43:21,750 --> 00:43:30,910
but he himself will be saved 
yet, as through the Fire 6 

745
00:43:30,910 --> 00:43:33,990
materials that Paul says things 
could be built with, their life 

746
00:43:33,990 --> 00:43:35,990
could be built with. 
Right. 

747
00:43:37,830 --> 00:43:40,270
He talks about gold, silver, 
precious stones, but wood, hay 

748
00:43:40,270 --> 00:43:42,910
and stubble. 
So now what? 

749
00:43:44,130 --> 00:43:45,370
This is the judgment seat of 
Christ. 

750
00:43:45,370 --> 00:43:47,210
It's going to be a day where 
God's going to say what did I 

751
00:43:47,210 --> 00:43:48,170
do? 
What did you do with the 

752
00:43:48,170 --> 00:43:50,170
minutes, the hours, the weeks, 
the months, the years that I 

753
00:43:50,170 --> 00:43:53,330
gave you? 
Did you do my assignment? 

754
00:43:54,090 --> 00:43:55,490
Now, this isn't overly 
complicated. 

755
00:43:55,490 --> 00:43:57,370
I'm going to simplify this a 
little bit before we get some 

756
00:43:57,370 --> 00:44:02,730
more scriptures. 
If you're born a man, you are a 

757
00:44:02,730 --> 00:44:11,250
man. 
If you're born a woman, then you

758
00:44:11,250 --> 00:44:12,890
are a. 
Woman. 

759
00:44:13,270 --> 00:44:14,630
Like that. 
Praise the Lord. 

760
00:44:18,710 --> 00:44:20,350
So what are you doing with your 
manhood? 

761
00:44:21,350 --> 00:44:22,550
What are you doing with your 
womanhood? 

762
00:44:26,910 --> 00:44:30,830
Right. 
You could put those quotes up, 

763
00:44:30,830 --> 00:44:33,390
guys. 
Where purpose is not known, 

764
00:44:34,590 --> 00:44:39,590
Abuse is inevitable. 
Many men and, I could say, many 

765
00:44:39,590 --> 00:44:43,690
women, but I I tend to lean. 
Towards the man stronger. 

766
00:44:43,690 --> 00:44:45,810
Not that as it does go for both 
genders. 

767
00:44:47,730 --> 00:44:50,330
Where your purpose is not known,
abuse is inevitable, meaning 

768
00:44:50,410 --> 00:44:54,050
it's incapable of being avoided.
If you don't know your purpose 

769
00:44:54,050 --> 00:44:56,610
as a man or a woman, you're 
going to misuse it. 

770
00:44:56,610 --> 00:44:59,010
You're going to put it to a 
wrong and improper use. 

771
00:45:00,770 --> 00:45:04,690
If you don't know your purpose, 
now your purpose, you can find 

772
00:45:04,690 --> 00:45:06,650
it where your passion and your 
pain intersect. 

773
00:45:09,270 --> 00:45:11,910
The reason I start with manhood 
first is because I have a 

774
00:45:11,910 --> 00:45:15,110
passion to be a man. 
That's why pastorals assign me 

775
00:45:15,110 --> 00:45:17,110
to the men's ministry. 
There's a certain lane or a 

776
00:45:17,110 --> 00:45:20,190
certain gifting or certain 
assignment that God's placed 

777
00:45:20,750 --> 00:45:22,710
within me. 
I don't have so much of A 

778
00:45:22,710 --> 00:45:26,390
passion to be an entrepreneurial
right. 

779
00:45:27,950 --> 00:45:30,910
I don't have so much of A 
passion to be in politics, 

780
00:45:31,710 --> 00:45:34,310
right? 
But there's certain passions I 

781
00:45:34,310 --> 00:45:38,150
have. 
It pains me to see a man out of 

782
00:45:38,150 --> 00:45:42,080
their place. 
Right. 

783
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,840
Because I know if if the the 
heart of a man is turned to 

784
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,240
Lord, then their heart of their 
children is going to be turned 

785
00:45:49,240 --> 00:45:51,320
to the to the man, and there's 
going to be healing. 

786
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,440
But if it's not the Bible says 
Malka, there's going to be a 

787
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,160
curse in the earth. 
So it pains me to know that. 

788
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,640
The what the divorce rate is 
right now because I know there's

789
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,480
a remedy. 
I know there's a solution. 

790
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,880
I know there's a truth to it. 
To. 

791
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,040
To free and deliberate and to 
make this successful. 

792
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,890
Who created? 
The marriage concept. 

793
00:46:11,410 --> 00:46:14,250
Who perverts it? 
The devil. 

794
00:46:15,050 --> 00:46:18,210
Now he does that in many ways. 
It could be with pornography, it

795
00:46:18,210 --> 00:46:22,370
could be with confusion. 
But he tries to break up the 

796
00:46:22,370 --> 00:46:24,970
home, right. 
So it pains me to see a man, but

797
00:46:24,970 --> 00:46:27,930
I got a passion to see have a 
man be in his place. 

798
00:46:28,410 --> 00:46:29,890
I have a. 
Passion for fitness. 

799
00:46:31,250 --> 00:46:33,490
It pains me to watch people at 
the gym sometimes. 

800
00:46:36,140 --> 00:46:37,820
Sometimes I say that's 
interesting. 

801
00:46:42,540 --> 00:46:45,180
Some people would completely 
misuse a machine. 

802
00:46:45,180 --> 00:46:47,580
I mean, like that was for your 
arms, not your legs. 

803
00:46:50,860 --> 00:46:54,500
Seriously, these things happen. 
So it pains me. 

804
00:46:54,500 --> 00:46:58,740
It it pains me and my my wife 
and I both have a heart for the 

805
00:46:58,740 --> 00:47:00,780
family, which you know, in 
general everybody's a heart for 

806
00:47:00,780 --> 00:47:03,210
the family that. 
It pains us when we're out in 

807
00:47:03,210 --> 00:47:05,090
public sometimes. 
I was just in Walmart, which is 

808
00:47:05,090 --> 00:47:09,010
its own Mission field, about a 
week 1/2 ago. 

809
00:47:09,010 --> 00:47:12,530
And little Johnny, they had just
built a brand new like. 

810
00:47:13,290 --> 00:47:15,330
Fast food restaurant used to be 
Subway, I think. 

811
00:47:15,330 --> 00:47:21,450
Now it's Charlie's and this kid 
is throwing a fit, screaming at 

812
00:47:21,450 --> 00:47:26,210
the top of their lungs. 
I'm like, Oh my goodness, this 

813
00:47:26,210 --> 00:47:30,290
is this is a pain. 
Like I want to go spank his 

814
00:47:30,290 --> 00:47:34,010
bottom. 
You know, and throwing a fit 

815
00:47:34,010 --> 00:47:36,530
because he didn't get what he 
wanted. 

816
00:47:37,250 --> 00:47:38,730
That's what an immature male 
does. 

817
00:47:47,850 --> 00:47:49,050
Now. 
Our temper chance may be a 

818
00:47:49,050 --> 00:47:51,410
little different, but it's still
there when we don't get what we.

819
00:47:52,810 --> 00:47:54,850
All right, you can say Amen or 
me, but it's true. 

820
00:47:57,130 --> 00:47:58,850
So your passion is where your 
pain. 

821
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,160
Your purpose, where your 
passion, your pain intersect. 

822
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,520
Some people are passionate it in
the political arena, right or 

823
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,360
there. 
Or say the public education 

824
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:07,320
arena. 
Really. 

825
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,000
We're called Let me Let me give 
this to you, Matthew, Chapter 

826
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,320
28. 
If you're taking notes, you can 

827
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:23,400
write it down. 
A BCDEFGABCDEFG. 

828
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,680
And no, we're not reviewing the 
alphabet to make sure that you 

829
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,490
know it. 
But it's how it memorizes and 

830
00:48:29,490 --> 00:48:33,610
sticks with me. 
So I pray it sticks with you and

831
00:48:33,610 --> 00:48:34,530
Matthew. 
Chapter 28. 

832
00:48:34,530 --> 00:48:36,970
There's two great commissions in
the Bible, ones found in Mark 

833
00:48:37,530 --> 00:48:41,250
Chapter 16 and ones found in 
Matthew, Chapter 28. 

834
00:48:41,250 --> 00:48:43,410
Now what? 
Consecrated to the call, right? 

835
00:48:45,610 --> 00:48:47,290
Sorry, that's the wrong 
Commission. 

836
00:48:48,090 --> 00:48:50,770
Matthew 28 is one of them. 
I want to go to Mark 16. 

837
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:05,800
Yep, so mark 16 verses 14 
through 15. 

838
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,280
I'm going to read this later. 
He appeared to them, Jesus to 11

839
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,320
as they sat at the table. 
He rebuked their unbelief in 

840
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,640
hardness and heart because they 
did not believe those who had 

841
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,680
seen him after he had risen. 
He said to. 

842
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,160
Them going to all the world and 
preach the gospel to every 

843
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,160
creature. 
What are we to do? 

844
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,280
Going to all the world now? 
The word world in the New 

845
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,520
Testaments. 
The word word cosmos. 

846
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:34,900
Where we get arrangement. 
Systems and I had you write down

847
00:49:34,940 --> 00:49:41,060
a BCDFG because in any society, 
these sectors of systems or 

848
00:49:41,060 --> 00:49:45,980
arrangements can be found in any
historically any civilization. 

849
00:49:46,580 --> 00:49:51,380
A is arts, B is business, C is 
congregations, D is what we call

850
00:49:51,380 --> 00:49:55,740
direct media, G is government, E
is education, and F is Family. 

851
00:49:56,980 --> 00:49:59,860
You got that? 
A is Arts. 

852
00:50:02,550 --> 00:50:08,990
B is business, C is 
congregations, D is direct 

853
00:50:08,990 --> 00:50:17,030
media, E is education, G is 
government, and F is family. 

854
00:50:18,470 --> 00:50:20,470
So when I when he says going all
the world, guess what? 

855
00:50:20,470 --> 00:50:22,910
Now that you're redeemed, he has
an assignment for you. 

856
00:50:23,430 --> 00:50:25,670
Start off being the best man or 
woman you can. 

857
00:50:26,430 --> 00:50:28,030
It starts in the home and then 
it trickles. 

858
00:50:30,170 --> 00:50:32,530
As a husband and wife, if you're
married, guess what? 

859
00:50:33,250 --> 00:50:35,970
Be the best husband or the best 
wife you can be. 

860
00:50:36,810 --> 00:50:40,810
And let me just let me just 
liberate you in this sense. 

861
00:50:43,610 --> 00:50:49,170
If your husband or wife is not 
living up to what you think they

862
00:50:49,170 --> 00:50:57,410
should be living up to, switch 
your focus at that bema seat. 

863
00:50:57,410 --> 00:51:00,900
God is not going to judge. 
You based upon what your spouse 

864
00:51:00,900 --> 00:51:05,900
did or didn't do. 
Are you with me? 

865
00:51:06,540 --> 00:51:11,820
He's going to judge you on what 
you did or didn't do. 

866
00:51:13,140 --> 00:51:16,020
There's a way to win over a 
spouse. 

867
00:51:17,380 --> 00:51:21,060
The Bible talks about it. 
The First Peter 3 Ephesians 5. 

868
00:51:21,060 --> 00:51:23,700
Just going to give you a few 
chapters there that you can dive

869
00:51:23,700 --> 00:51:25,180
into to find out how to win 
over. 

870
00:51:25,860 --> 00:51:27,820
But so many times we go to 
counseling session and. 

871
00:51:28,570 --> 00:51:30,250
This is the list of everything 
they're not doing. 

872
00:51:30,250 --> 00:51:35,890
And I got to remind them what? 
What are you doing now? 

873
00:51:35,890 --> 00:51:38,970
Do I condone or permit? 
Absolutely not. 

874
00:51:40,330 --> 00:51:44,090
If they're acting a fool, I'll 
call them foolish, but it still 

875
00:51:44,090 --> 00:51:46,370
don't change your place or your 
position on your role. 

876
00:51:48,450 --> 00:51:53,090
It's quiet now. 
You could leave and say that 

877
00:51:53,090 --> 00:51:55,090
wasn't for me, but you're not 
going to be liberated because 

878
00:51:55,130 --> 00:52:00,520
only truth sets you free. 
Sermons don't set you free. 

879
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:04,640
Truth set you free. 
Let me put this way, applied 

880
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:08,120
truth will set you free. 
So quit looking at your spouse, 

881
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,560
getting the word, and say OK, 
what happens if you start to 

882
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:16,720
change one. 
You'll know that when God calls 

883
00:52:16,720 --> 00:52:21,240
you on that day. 
Now listen, I know your husband 

884
00:52:21,240 --> 00:52:27,910
was Freddie the freak. 
I'm being very exaggerated, but 

885
00:52:27,910 --> 00:52:31,470
you held your place and your 
position. 

886
00:52:33,150 --> 00:52:36,750
Well done, thou good and 
faithful servant. 

887
00:52:36,750 --> 00:52:40,790
Right? 
At the best though you position 

888
00:52:40,790 --> 00:52:43,910
can go. 
Guess what could win them over? 

889
00:52:45,430 --> 00:52:53,720
Hallelujah. 
I'm going to give you a quick 

890
00:52:53,720 --> 00:52:57,680
testimony. 
I learned this. 

891
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,480
From reading Doctor Cole's 
material, so it's a secondhand 

892
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,400
witness to it, but it's true 
nonetheless. 

893
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,920
This is an adult conversation. 
Some will keep it general, but 

894
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,400
there was a lady that was coming
to church, coming to church, and

895
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:15,480
the spouse wasn't the husband. 
What he liked to do is be not 

896
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,160
shave on Sundays, drink alcohol 
and watch NFL. 

897
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:24,880
So she would come to church, get
filled up, go home, and guess 

898
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,400
what? 
She'd be real agitated when she 

899
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,100
got home. 
And have kind of a holier than 

900
00:53:29,580 --> 00:53:34,980
thou attitude be frustrated and 
rightfully so because what he's 

901
00:53:34,980 --> 00:53:39,300
not in place or position. 
But Ed Cole came to town to do a

902
00:53:39,300 --> 00:53:41,220
men's conference and then he 
admitted and missed her next 

903
00:53:41,220 --> 00:53:42,580
Sunday. 
So she went up and just kind of 

904
00:53:42,580 --> 00:53:45,180
unloaded about how much of her 
husband was a jerk. 

905
00:53:46,780 --> 00:53:50,380
And he said, you know what you 
need to do when you go home 

906
00:53:50,980 --> 00:53:54,020
instead of being holier than 
thou go home and take. 

907
00:53:55,900 --> 00:53:57,420
Perform the benefit of being 
married. 

908
00:54:02,540 --> 00:54:06,020
I'm looking this way. 
I know the voice. 

909
00:54:10,660 --> 00:54:13,020
And so you know what? 
She went home. 

910
00:54:13,020 --> 00:54:17,380
I'm keeping this general and 
performed the benefit and then 

911
00:54:17,380 --> 00:54:20,740
told the husband. 
It's the pastor that told me to 

912
00:54:20,740 --> 00:54:24,460
do this. 
Guess what happened next Sunday?

913
00:54:28,810 --> 00:54:31,770
He said. 
I want to meet the pastor that 

914
00:54:31,770 --> 00:54:34,810
told my wife. 
To perform the benefit. 

915
00:54:36,770 --> 00:54:39,970
Say Amen. 
So just keep your position. 

916
00:54:42,970 --> 00:54:52,570
Hallelujah, Church is. 
So those quotes put them back 

917
00:54:52,570 --> 00:54:54,770
up. 
You either live by default or 

918
00:54:54,770 --> 00:55:04,030
design. 
Anybody had their clock or their

919
00:55:04,670 --> 00:55:07,070
you, their oven go out when the 
power goes out. 

920
00:55:07,990 --> 00:55:11,430
What's it do? 
Resets at 12:00, right? 

921
00:55:11,430 --> 00:55:14,630
That's living by default. 
When something traumatic 

922
00:55:14,630 --> 00:55:19,190
happens, or something stressful,
or an affliction, do you go back

923
00:55:19,190 --> 00:55:21,790
to default or are you pressing 
on the things of God? 

924
00:55:23,630 --> 00:55:26,030
So when the power goes out, so 
to speak, in your life, are you 

925
00:55:26,190 --> 00:55:28,990
are you blinking 12? 
Did you fall off the turnip 

926
00:55:28,990 --> 00:55:32,750
truck or did you realize, God, 
you're going to get some glory 

927
00:55:32,750 --> 00:55:36,110
out of this? 
I'm consecrated to the call. 

928
00:55:36,630 --> 00:55:38,550
I found this out in lifting 
because I told you have a 

929
00:55:38,550 --> 00:55:42,550
passion for fitness for for 
family, right? 

930
00:55:44,990 --> 00:55:46,590
I found this out in lifting 
though, because there's a lot of

931
00:55:46,590 --> 00:55:49,870
parallels between what Paul 
ministered that we can take in a

932
00:55:49,870 --> 00:55:53,380
natural but applies spiritually.
And you don't get stronger 

933
00:55:53,380 --> 00:55:55,740
unless there's some resistance 
when it comes in the natural, 

934
00:55:55,740 --> 00:55:56,580
that's. 
True. 

935
00:55:58,100 --> 00:56:08,580
Go with me to Judges. 
We're going to go to Judges 

936
00:56:11,340 --> 00:56:15,900
Chapter 33. 
Before we go there, I want to. 

937
00:56:15,900 --> 00:56:17,980
I want to give you a few more 
scriptures. 

938
00:56:17,980 --> 00:56:22,900
Hallelujah. 
I'm going to go First Timothy 

939
00:56:22,900 --> 00:56:27,020
414, First through 15, First 
Timothy chapter 4, verses 14 

940
00:56:27,020 --> 00:56:29,940
through 15. 
Do not neglect the gift that is 

941
00:56:29,940 --> 00:56:32,820
in you. 
Do not neglect the gift that is 

942
00:56:32,820 --> 00:56:35,380
in you. 
Do not neglect the gift that is 

943
00:56:35,380 --> 00:56:38,000
in you. 
Romans chapter one, verse #11. 

944
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,120
This is written to the church. 
I long to see you that I may 

945
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,920
impart you some spiritual gift 
so that you would be 

946
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,880
established. 
I long to see you, Paul said. 

947
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,440
Because I want to impart some 
spiritual gift that you'd be 

948
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,880
established. 
First Corinthians 17, so that 

949
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:56,360
you come short. 
No gift, eagerly waiting for the

950
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:00,320
waiting for the revelation of 
our Lord Jesus Christ. 

951
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:04,880
First Peter Chapter 4, verse 
#10, as each one has received a 

952
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,120
gift. 
Minister it to 1 another's good 

953
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,160
stewards of the manifold grace 
of God. 

954
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:15,280
The word gift means this. 
It denotes extraordinary power. 

955
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:20,480
It distinguishes, distinguishes 
Christians in their services, 

956
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:25,360
and also says it enables them to
serve in the body of Christ. 

957
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,800
So what's the gift that God's 
placed on the inside of us? 

958
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,960
It's the extraordinary powers. 
I'll put it this way. 

959
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:36,460
He puts his supernatural on your
natural You're never going to be

960
00:57:36,460 --> 00:57:38,860
the best man, the best woman, 
the best parent. 

961
00:57:39,620 --> 00:57:41,980
You're never going to be best 
hitting those sectors of society

962
00:57:41,980 --> 00:57:46,220
without the anointing of God. 
So he takes his supernatural and

963
00:57:46,220 --> 00:57:49,140
puts it on your natural and 
guess what? 

964
00:57:49,140 --> 00:57:51,420
It becomes a God glorifying 
gift. 

965
00:57:53,940 --> 00:57:57,700
Hebrews chapter 12 verses one 
through 2. 

966
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,520
Says this therefore. 
Now I read earlier Hebrews 

967
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:05,080
Chapter 11 about all the great 
men and women in the Hall of 

968
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,280
Fame of Faith. 
It says, therefore, since we are

969
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:11,280
surrounded by so great a cloud 
of witnesses, let us lay aside 

970
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:17,400
every weight and sin which so 
easily ensnares us, and let us 

971
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:21,480
run with endurance the race that
is set before us, looking under 

972
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:25,080
Jesus. 
The author and the finisher for 

973
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:29,240
finisher of our faith, who, for 
the joy that was set before him,

974
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,280
he endured the cross, despising 
the shame. 

975
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,120
And it sat. 
Down at the right hand of of the

976
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:40,320
throne of God, now that that 
we're in this race, it says it 

977
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:45,040
strip off every weight and sin. 
What's a weight? 

978
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:50,360
It's a burden. 
It's a load. 

979
00:58:51,610 --> 00:58:53,490
Listen. 
Unforgiveness could be a wait 

980
00:58:54,130 --> 00:58:55,970
that hinders you and your call. 
I'm. 

981
00:58:56,210 --> 00:58:58,690
I'm talking about dedication. 
Be dedicated to let things go 

982
00:58:58,690 --> 00:59:01,090
and walk in love. 
Forgive. 

983
00:59:02,010 --> 00:59:06,050
Forgive means to drop it, 
release it and let it go. 

984
00:59:06,170 --> 00:59:08,850
It could be a wait. 
You know what cares of this life

985
00:59:09,370 --> 00:59:12,850
could be a wait. 
Well, you're just thinking about

986
00:59:13,250 --> 00:59:16,730
this world in the world system 
all the time, right? 

987
00:59:16,730 --> 00:59:19,290
That could be a wait. 
And the Bible says what to put 

988
00:59:19,290 --> 00:59:20,850
it aside. 
Put it off. 

989
00:59:21,820 --> 00:59:24,060
Stay focused. 
Everybody say stay focused. 

990
00:59:26,100 --> 00:59:29,340
So put it off, he said. 
And the sin now sins easy, 

991
00:59:29,340 --> 00:59:31,500
right? 
In the sense that we know what 

992
00:59:31,500 --> 00:59:33,140
sin is. 
It means to wander from the law 

993
00:59:33,140 --> 00:59:37,980
of God. 
It means an offense or to miss 

994
00:59:37,980 --> 00:59:40,620
the mark. 
So he said, in order to run this

995
00:59:40,620 --> 00:59:43,260
race effectively, you got to be 
dedicated or consecrated. 

996
00:59:43,260 --> 00:59:46,300
You got to get rid of weights 
and sins because both both will 

997
00:59:46,300 --> 00:59:49,420
hinder you. 
In your journey and destination 

998
00:59:49,420 --> 00:59:54,420
and design that God has for you,
He has a purpose for you in the 

999
00:59:54,460 --> 00:59:57,620
earth. 
And it says that we need to run 

1000
00:59:57,620 --> 01:00:00,900
with endurance. 
Endurance means that we say 

1001
01:00:00,900 --> 01:00:09,380
steadfast no matter what we're 
we're not swerved or moved by 

1002
01:00:09,380 --> 01:00:14,580
any trial or suffering. 
That's what steadfast means. 

1003
01:00:15,010 --> 01:00:19,290
And it says the race. 
Now that word race in Hebrews 12

1004
01:00:20,010 --> 01:00:23,010
is the same word that the 
Apostle Paul used to when he 

1005
01:00:23,010 --> 01:00:26,010
says fight the good fight of 
faith. 

1006
01:00:27,290 --> 01:00:32,130
You could literally say and run 
with endurance the fight because

1007
01:00:32,130 --> 01:00:36,250
it's the same word. 
It means a contest really in 

1008
01:00:36,250 --> 01:00:38,370
that society. 
It mean that it meant the Greek 

1009
01:00:38,410 --> 01:00:41,290
Olympic Games is what Paul was 
saying. 

1010
01:00:41,290 --> 01:00:43,570
So I'm. 
Going to go to 1st Corinthians 

1011
01:00:43,570 --> 01:00:46,870
Chapter 9. 
First commitment is Chapter 9. 

1012
01:00:46,870 --> 01:00:49,830
We'll get to judges in just a 
second. 

1013
01:00:50,830 --> 01:00:55,230
First commitment is Chapter 9 
versus 24 through 27. 

1014
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:59,230
I'm going to read this from two 
different translations to the 

1015
01:00:59,230 --> 01:01:02,670
first one being I think it's the
new King James, the second one 

1016
01:01:02,670 --> 01:01:07,550
being the message. 
Do you not know that those who 

1017
01:01:07,550 --> 01:01:10,230
run in a race all run, but only 
one receives the prize? 

1018
01:01:10,230 --> 01:01:12,070
Run in such a way that you may 
obtain it. 

1019
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:14,720
And everyone who competes for 
the prizes temperate in all 

1020
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,080
things. 
Now they do it to obtain a 

1021
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:19,480
perishable crown, but we an 
empiricable crown. 

1022
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,200
Therefore I I run thus, not with
uncertainty. 

1023
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:25,440
Thus I fight not as one that 
beats there, but I discipline my

1024
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,560
body and bring it to subjection 
less. 

1025
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,560
When I preach to others, I 
myself should become 

1026
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,480
disqualified. 
The message says it like this. 

1027
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,120
You've all been to the stadium 
and you've seen the athletes 

1028
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:39,090
race. 
Everyone. 

1029
01:01:39,090 --> 01:01:41,370
Everyone runs. 
One wins. 

1030
01:01:41,650 --> 01:01:46,170
Run to win. 
Run to win. 

1031
01:01:46,770 --> 01:01:50,850
Run to win. 
All good athletes train hard. 

1032
01:01:50,850 --> 01:01:54,970
They do it for a gold medal that
tarnishes and fades you after 

1033
01:01:55,570 --> 01:01:57,850
you after one. 
That's gold Eternally I don't 

1034
01:01:57,850 --> 01:02:00,450
know about. 
But I'm running hard for the 

1035
01:02:00,450 --> 01:02:03,290
finish line. 
I'm giving it everything I got. 

1036
01:02:03,290 --> 01:02:07,420
No lazy living for me. 
I'm staying alert and in top 

1037
01:02:07,420 --> 01:02:09,340
condition. 
I'm not going to get caught 

1038
01:02:09,340 --> 01:02:12,780
napping telling everyone else 
about it and then missing out 

1039
01:02:13,340 --> 01:02:19,140
myself. 
Second Timothy, Chapter 20 

1040
01:02:19,140 --> 01:02:22,980
versus second Timothy 20, 
Chapter 2 versus 20 through 20. 

1041
01:02:22,980 --> 01:02:27,500
One we're going to bring this 
all together by help with the 

1042
01:02:27,500 --> 01:02:31,410
Holy Ghost. 
But in a great house there's not

1043
01:02:31,410 --> 01:02:34,530
only vessels of gold and silver,
but also of wooden clay, summer 

1044
01:02:34,530 --> 01:02:37,930
for honor, some for dishonor. 
Therefore, if anyone, if anyone,

1045
01:02:37,930 --> 01:02:41,290
if anyone, if anyone, cleanses 
himself from the latter, he will

1046
01:02:41,290 --> 01:02:44,370
be a vessel of honor, 
sanctified, dedicated, 

1047
01:02:44,370 --> 01:02:47,890
consecrated, and useful for the 
master, prepared for every good 

1048
01:02:47,890 --> 01:02:50,850
work. 
The JB Phillips says that Tran 

1049
01:02:50,930 --> 01:02:53,970
that verse this way. 
God's solid foundation still 

1050
01:02:53,970 --> 01:02:56,770
stands, however, with this 
double inscription. 

1051
01:02:57,090 --> 01:02:59,050
The Lord knows those who belong 
to Him. 

1052
01:02:59,050 --> 01:03:03,770
Let every true Christian have no
dealing with evil. 

1053
01:03:04,490 --> 01:03:07,970
In any big household there are 
not there are naturally not only

1054
01:03:07,970 --> 01:03:10,690
gold and silver vessels, but 
wood and earth, and where one 

1055
01:03:10,690 --> 01:03:13,370
ones as well. 
Some are used for the highest 

1056
01:03:13,370 --> 01:03:15,010
purposes, and some for the 
lowest. 

1057
01:03:15,290 --> 01:03:19,410
If any man keeps himself from 
the contaminations of evil, he 

1058
01:03:19,410 --> 01:03:23,330
will be a vessel used for 
honorable purposes, clean and 

1059
01:03:23,330 --> 01:03:26,810
serviceable for the use of the 
master of of the household. 

1060
01:03:26,810 --> 01:03:30,210
All already, in fact, for any 
good purpose. 

1061
01:03:31,450 --> 01:03:34,690
I went to judge. 
I said judges, didn't I? 

1062
01:03:36,930 --> 01:03:39,010
Hallelujah. 
I meant Numbers 33. 

1063
01:03:43,570 --> 01:03:45,250
I'm kind of giving you a 
highlevel. 

1064
01:03:45,690 --> 01:03:48,010
And we're going to get about 5 
takeaways. 

1065
01:03:56,370 --> 01:04:09,850
Numbers 33 says this. 
These are the journeys of the 

1066
01:04:09,850 --> 01:04:14,370
children of Israel that they say
journeys, some translation say 

1067
01:04:14,370 --> 01:04:17,490
stages. 
So I bring that up because, 

1068
01:04:17,490 --> 01:04:21,810
listen, now that you redeem, 
there's a purpose for you. 

1069
01:04:21,850 --> 01:04:24,280
There's a Kingdom. 
Call and there's going to be 

1070
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:28,080
different stages or different 
seasons of life if you do what 

1071
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:30,320
we're telling today, the word of
God, and sanctify yourself or 

1072
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,360
dedicate yourself. 
Remove every weight and every 

1073
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:35,640
sin. 
Flee every appearance of evil. 

1074
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:37,640
I'll put it this way, Matthew 
5/8. 

1075
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:40,160
It says Blessed are the pure in 
heart for they shall see God. 

1076
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:44,040
Blessed are the pure in art. 
The purer your life, the more 

1077
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:49,680
focused the vision. 
The more purity you have in your

1078
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:52,800
life, the stronger the vision. 
If you have weights and sin, 

1079
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:54,880
guess what? 
You're going to suffer loss like

1080
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,160
that? 
Wood, hay and stubble because 

1081
01:04:57,160 --> 01:05:01,680
God's got a plan for you. 
But sin distorts and confuses 

1082
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:05,120
but. 
A holy life, a sanctified life, 

1083
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:11,040
keeps the focus there. 
So there's different seasons. 

1084
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:15,310
When we went to Bible school 
when it was Kennethy Hagan was. 

1085
01:05:15,590 --> 01:05:17,790
I have two, what I call 
historical mentors in my life, 

1086
01:05:17,790 --> 01:05:19,750
which is Ed Cole and Kennethy 
Hagan. 

1087
01:05:19,750 --> 01:05:22,150
I never had any personal contact
with him but read a lot of their

1088
01:05:22,150 --> 01:05:25,470
material. 
So there's not what I call 

1089
01:05:25,470 --> 01:05:28,590
relational mentorship with them,
but a historical in the sense 

1090
01:05:28,590 --> 01:05:30,750
that I really fed on a lot of 
the material. 

1091
01:05:30,830 --> 01:05:33,510
It's interesting that both, both
of them, both of them say, both 

1092
01:05:33,510 --> 01:05:38,790
of them 57, say 57. 
God had a new season, a new 

1093
01:05:38,790 --> 01:05:40,790
stage for their life. 
Why? 

1094
01:05:40,790 --> 01:05:45,490
Because they dedicated their 
life to God, they consecrated 

1095
01:05:45,490 --> 01:05:49,610
their life to God. 
Kennethy Hagan said it this way.

1096
01:05:49,890 --> 01:05:52,050
God said now you're getting 
ready for the third phase of 

1097
01:05:52,050 --> 01:05:56,170
your ministry at 57. 
So guess what? 

1098
01:05:56,690 --> 01:05:59,330
Have you missed any phases or 
seasons of your life? 

1099
01:06:01,330 --> 01:06:04,330
Faithfulness and holiness will 
keep you on track. 

1100
01:06:04,330 --> 01:06:09,770
Say faithfulness and holiness 
will keep you on track for God's

1101
01:06:09,770 --> 01:06:15,400
seasons for your life. 
At 57 Ed Cole was was pastor in 

1102
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,480
A at a prophetic word that he 
need to leave the pastorate and 

1103
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:20,680
step out and do full times men 
men's ministry. 

1104
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:22,560
There was no men's ministry in 
the 80s. 

1105
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,480
He was the pioneer in the 
trailblazer at that time. 

1106
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:28,800
Now there's a lot of men's 
ministry but he he left the full

1107
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:31,360
time pastorate at 57. 
Just when most people are 

1108
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,280
thinking about retiring they're 
refiring. 

1109
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:37,120
Because you know what there's no
retirement in the Kingdom of 

1110
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:39,360
God. 
There's just new assignments. 

1111
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,870
Say new assignments. 
There should be a wealth on the 

1112
01:06:42,870 --> 01:06:46,670
inside of you that people should
be seeking you out in your 80s. 

1113
01:06:50,150 --> 01:06:52,030
I'm reading the book right now 
by Lester Summer. 

1114
01:06:52,030 --> 01:06:55,350
All he sought out Smith 
Wigglesworth in his 80s. 

1115
01:06:55,350 --> 01:06:57,510
Smith was in his 80s. 
Lester was younger. 

1116
01:06:57,630 --> 01:06:58,830
Why? 
Because he knew there was 

1117
01:06:58,830 --> 01:07:03,070
something in him that he wanted.
And when he went and sought him 

1118
01:07:03,070 --> 01:07:06,470
out, Smith Wigglesworth end up 
praying over him in that 

1119
01:07:06,470 --> 01:07:08,030
relationship before he passed 
away. 

1120
01:07:08,190 --> 01:07:10,430
And they said tears was flowing 
down his eyes. 

1121
01:07:10,550 --> 01:07:12,790
He was a taller man. 
Lester Summerall was smaller. 

1122
01:07:12,910 --> 01:07:15,110
They were really flow flowing 
onto his head. 

1123
01:07:15,870 --> 01:07:18,990
And Lester Summerall got some of
what was on Smith Wigglesworth. 

1124
01:07:19,230 --> 01:07:24,070
And had a very successful 
ministry and finished strong and

1125
01:07:24,070 --> 01:07:27,510
that's what God wants you to do 
with your life is finish strong.

1126
01:07:28,670 --> 01:07:31,710
So let's get 5 takeaways for 
finishing strong. 

1127
01:07:32,230 --> 01:07:37,810
Number one, your daily 
devotional life. 

1128
01:07:41,970 --> 01:07:44,410
How is that going? 
Anchor Faith. 

1129
01:07:44,410 --> 01:07:53,330
Church encourages, prompts, 
reminds, presides the resources.

1130
01:07:53,330 --> 01:07:58,090
Both some of y'all got digital 
versions and the hard copy ones 

1131
01:07:58,090 --> 01:08:03,420
of a Bible reading plan out of 
guest relations, right? 

1132
01:08:03,820 --> 01:08:07,220
Why do we do that? 
Because we thank God for church.

1133
01:08:09,900 --> 01:08:13,380
But if you don't read your 
Bible, you're only getting two 

1134
01:08:13,380 --> 01:08:16,700
meals a week if you come to 
Wednesday night. 

1135
01:08:18,260 --> 01:08:20,260
And I don't know about you, but 
if I lived off of 2. 

1136
01:08:20,260 --> 01:08:23,540
Meals a week. 
Maybe that's why you are a 

1137
01:08:23,540 --> 01:08:29,819
cranky husband. 
Amen. 

1138
01:08:30,649 --> 01:08:32,729
Because you're spiritually 
malnourished and you don't have 

1139
01:08:32,729 --> 01:08:38,649
energy. 
Hallelujah on the on the the 

1140
01:08:38,649 --> 01:08:40,689
great side. 
If you stay in the word of God 

1141
01:08:42,210 --> 01:08:45,529
daily and read that Bible, what 
it what is the Bible? 

1142
01:08:45,529 --> 01:08:47,050
It's it's fellowshipping with 
God. 

1143
01:08:47,050 --> 01:08:49,450
It's taking time. 
And let me encourage you before 

1144
01:08:49,450 --> 01:08:50,810
you get it. 
It's a heavenly Father. 

1145
01:08:51,250 --> 01:08:55,090
I am listening today. 
You know, I I like saying this. 

1146
01:08:55,090 --> 01:08:57,010
You know what's going to happen 
in the days, the weeks, the 

1147
01:08:57,010 --> 01:09:01,080
months to come. 
So give me a word to stand on. 

1148
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:05,680
A fresh word, right? 
In the Old Testament, they had 

1149
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:07,000
the mana. 
But guess what? 

1150
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,479
That mana was only good for that
day. 

1151
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:11,760
If they try to take the man into
the next day, guess what? 

1152
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:16,520
It got stanky. 
For our good grammar. 

1153
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:20,080
Don't be a stanky or a stinky 
Christian because you're living 

1154
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:25,399
off of old mana, right? 
There's a word for you. 

1155
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:29,420
There's nothing like fresh 
bread, you know, And we're 

1156
01:09:29,420 --> 01:09:30,939
almost done. 
That melts the butter when it 

1157
01:09:30,939 --> 01:09:33,340
comes out the oven. 
Oh yeah. 

1158
01:09:36,260 --> 01:09:38,380
And that's what God said. 
And I got a fresh word for you 

1159
01:09:38,380 --> 01:09:39,779
every day. 
You need to be in the word of 

1160
01:09:39,779 --> 01:09:41,979
God. 
That's the first take away every

1161
01:09:41,979 --> 01:09:44,060
day. 
Don't let it slip. 

1162
01:09:44,060 --> 01:09:46,979
Right. 
Secondly, you need to develop 

1163
01:09:46,979 --> 01:09:49,100
your your prayer and your 
meditation life. 

1164
01:09:51,260 --> 01:09:53,220
Prayer is more than just asking 
for things. 

1165
01:09:53,220 --> 01:09:56,620
Prayer is coming in the Prince 
of God to to fellowship and 

1166
01:09:56,620 --> 01:10:00,150
commune with him, and in Genesis
said they were the hear the 

1167
01:10:00,150 --> 01:10:02,870
voice of the Lord, the God 
walking in the cool of the day. 

1168
01:10:03,150 --> 01:10:05,670
There's a good goal for you. 
Read Pastor Marcy's book on 

1169
01:10:05,670 --> 01:10:10,430
prayer, the cool of the day. 
Stir up your prayer life. 

1170
01:10:11,990 --> 01:10:14,110
If you really want to get to 
another dimension, spiritually 

1171
01:10:14,110 --> 01:10:18,430
stir up your meditation life. 
All of us are thinking something

1172
01:10:18,750 --> 01:10:21,790
all the time. 
It'd be amazing that to look 

1173
01:10:21,790 --> 01:10:25,150
into your mind right now and see
what you're thinking about. 

1174
01:10:25,710 --> 01:10:27,550
Some of you could be thinking 
about bread with butter, because

1175
01:10:27,550 --> 01:10:33,790
I just said that and say I wish 
we could hurry so we can get 

1176
01:10:33,790 --> 01:10:37,230
some bread with butter. 
But meditation? 

1177
01:10:37,230 --> 01:10:39,190
What's that mean? 
It means to imagine, to revolve 

1178
01:10:39,190 --> 01:10:42,030
in the mind, to think about it. 
So you need to develop your 

1179
01:10:42,030 --> 01:10:43,670
prayer life and your meditation 
life. 

1180
01:10:43,950 --> 01:10:45,230
Prayer is fellowshipping with 
God. 

1181
01:10:45,230 --> 01:10:47,510
So one way to fellowship is just
to chew on his word all the 

1182
01:10:47,510 --> 01:10:50,670
time, right? 
I mean, think about it. 

1183
01:10:50,670 --> 01:10:58,960
When you were engaged, courting,
guess what you took the time to 

1184
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:02,440
do? 
You guys are quiet. 

1185
01:11:02,440 --> 01:11:07,680
You listen right? 
You put your your best foot 

1186
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:10,640
forward, so to speak. 
You smelled good. 

1187
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:20,080
Your car was clean. 
Glory to God, you'd get the 

1188
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:24,600
door. 
Have you lost some of that good?

1189
01:11:25,990 --> 01:11:27,550
He had said he has not. 
That's good. 

1190
01:11:29,070 --> 01:11:32,310
But you took How much more with 
God do you do? 

1191
01:11:32,310 --> 01:11:36,870
You rush in in prayer out of 
more religious habit than a 

1192
01:11:36,870 --> 01:11:39,870
relationship. 
So we need to develop our daily 

1193
01:11:39,870 --> 01:11:41,270
devotion. 
We need to develop our prayer 

1194
01:11:41,270 --> 01:11:44,990
and our meditation life. 
And back to the analogy of when 

1195
01:11:44,990 --> 01:11:46,790
you're recording man, you were 
thinking about that person all 

1196
01:11:46,790 --> 01:11:48,390
the time. 
Guess what? 

1197
01:11:48,390 --> 01:11:51,170
You need to think about God all 
the time, right? 

1198
01:11:51,530 --> 01:11:54,210
If you want to be the being your
purpose as a man, as a husband, 

1199
01:11:54,210 --> 01:11:59,010
as a father, whatever ABCDEFG 
he's called you to whatever 

1200
01:11:59,010 --> 01:12:02,890
sector, society, wherever your 
passion is at you can, you need 

1201
01:12:02,890 --> 01:12:03,970
to develop that prayer life. 
Why? 

1202
01:12:03,970 --> 01:12:05,330
Because the Holy Ghost so 
quicken you. 

1203
01:12:06,410 --> 01:12:08,530
That's the that's the next thing
that you need. 

1204
01:12:08,530 --> 01:12:12,410
You need the Holy Spirit. 
You need the Holy Ghost. 

1205
01:12:14,810 --> 01:12:18,170
John 16 Seven These are 
takeaways #1. 

1206
01:12:18,170 --> 01:12:21,740
Daily Devotion #2 Develop your 
meditation in your prayer life 

1207
01:12:21,740 --> 01:12:24,300
#3. 
You need to realize daily, you 

1208
01:12:24,300 --> 01:12:27,220
need the Holy Ghost, Jesus said 
in John 16 Seven. 

1209
01:12:27,220 --> 01:12:30,140
It's expedient that I go away 
because if I go away, I'm going 

1210
01:12:30,140 --> 01:12:31,660
to send another one just like 
me. 

1211
01:12:33,300 --> 01:12:36,940
What was he talking about? 
The Holy Ghost acts. 18 Says you

1212
01:12:36,940 --> 01:12:41,740
shall receive power when the 
Holy Ghost says what come upon 

1213
01:12:41,740 --> 01:12:43,630
you. 
I don't want to do everything in

1214
01:12:43,630 --> 01:12:45,670
my natural effort. 
I want to do it through the 

1215
01:12:45,670 --> 01:12:48,630
anointing. 
Philippians 413 says I can do 

1216
01:12:48,630 --> 01:12:51,030
all things through Christ who 
strengthens me. 

1217
01:12:51,030 --> 01:12:55,070
What's the Christ, Christos the 
anointing For the assignment. 

1218
01:12:57,190 --> 01:13:00,710
I want to do it through the 
anointing that the fourth thing 

1219
01:13:00,710 --> 01:13:06,950
you need is church attendance. 
Church attendance. 

1220
01:13:09,310 --> 01:13:12,660
You need to be regularly come to
church, the Bible says in 

1221
01:13:12,660 --> 01:13:15,660
Ephesians chapter 4, verse 11. 
He gave some. 

1222
01:13:16,180 --> 01:13:18,340
These are some assignments in 
the body of Christ. 

1223
01:13:18,340 --> 01:13:20,460
Not all people have the same 
assignment. 

1224
01:13:21,340 --> 01:13:24,420
God is way too creative to make 
everybody do the same thing. 

1225
01:13:24,740 --> 01:13:26,420
Everybody's fingerprint is 
different. 

1226
01:13:27,500 --> 01:13:29,580
Personality wise we have 
sanguines, melancholy, 

1227
01:13:29,620 --> 01:13:33,340
flagmatics and calorics. 
All different personalities. 

1228
01:13:33,340 --> 01:13:34,820
Why? 
Because God is way too unique 

1229
01:13:34,820 --> 01:13:38,460
and way too creative not to. 
Not to put a gift in you that 

1230
01:13:38,460 --> 01:13:42,430
won't reach a sector of society.
The thing is, don't get 

1231
01:13:42,430 --> 01:13:43,990
sanguines. 
Don't get frustrated with the 

1232
01:13:43,990 --> 01:13:47,350
melancholies. 
Sanguine's the life of the 

1233
01:13:47,350 --> 01:13:49,470
party. 
Melancholies. 

1234
01:13:49,470 --> 01:13:54,950
All the paperwork's done, I's 
dotted, t's crossed. 

1235
01:13:55,510 --> 01:13:56,910
Well, I just want to go out and 
have fun. 

1236
01:13:57,070 --> 01:14:01,470
Well, we got to finish the 
paperwork, right? 

1237
01:14:01,870 --> 01:14:05,870
The caloric is a type driven 
visionary, the flag mag says. 

1238
01:14:05,870 --> 01:14:11,470
Can't we just take a nap? 
But what? 

1239
01:14:11,470 --> 01:14:13,590
God's way too creative. 
He put us all. 

1240
01:14:13,590 --> 01:14:14,950
What? 
Because there's a uniqueness 

1241
01:14:14,950 --> 01:14:17,270
about you. 
There's a gift in you that 

1242
01:14:17,270 --> 01:14:19,830
nobody else has. 
And God one day is going to 

1243
01:14:19,830 --> 01:14:21,950
judge you on it. 
And what we're trying to set up 

1244
01:14:21,950 --> 01:14:26,670
is you want to have him say well
done with what I gave you. 

1245
01:14:27,110 --> 01:14:31,950
Even forgiveness is a well done.
You got that. 

1246
01:14:34,270 --> 01:14:35,550
So you need regular church 
attendance. 

1247
01:14:35,710 --> 01:14:38,950
I've had three pastors since 
1997, three. 

1248
01:14:39,470 --> 01:14:42,470
I've been in church regularly. 
There's probably been only five 

1249
01:14:42,470 --> 01:14:46,190
times in that time frame that 
I've probably missed since due 

1250
01:14:46,190 --> 01:14:47,950
to vacation. 
Even I'm on vacation. 

1251
01:14:48,270 --> 01:14:49,990
We typically try to find a 
church to go to. 

1252
01:14:49,990 --> 01:14:53,470
I remember one time my wife and 
I went to Texas. 

1253
01:14:53,470 --> 01:14:58,310
Early on, we were members of 
Rema Bible Church, but we were 

1254
01:14:58,310 --> 01:15:00,710
down in Dallas, and so we went 
to TD Jakes Church. 

1255
01:15:01,910 --> 01:15:03,270
Wow. 
Because that's what we do Sunday

1256
01:15:03,270 --> 01:15:06,150
morning. 
Let's go to the Potter's house, 

1257
01:15:08,750 --> 01:15:10,960
right. 
So regular church attendance. 

1258
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:12,320
Why? 
Because in Ephesians 4, it says 

1259
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:14,520
if you go to church, that 
pastor, that apostle, that 

1260
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:17,720
prophet, that teacher, that 
evangelist is going to what? 

1261
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:22,600
Equip the Saints. 
So you could do daily devotion, 

1262
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:25,880
develop your prayer, meditation,
life, have the help with the 

1263
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:29,920
Holy Ghost, but miss out because
you don't attend church because 

1264
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:32,240
there's an equipping. 
What it means that there's a 

1265
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:38,240
supply in a setting that happens
when you come to church, right? 

1266
01:15:39,570 --> 01:15:42,290
And guess what in church is 
where you're going to find some 

1267
01:15:42,290 --> 01:15:46,210
of your giftings. 
We had a we had a parenting 

1268
01:15:46,210 --> 01:15:47,650
conference last week past 
Marcus. 

1269
01:15:47,650 --> 01:15:51,770
You can come and if you need to 
get ready for water baptism, if 

1270
01:15:51,770 --> 01:15:55,370
you signed up for water baptism,
you can go and be dismissed 

1271
01:15:55,370 --> 01:15:57,170
right now and get changed for 
that okay. 

1272
01:15:58,010 --> 01:16:00,970
At our parenting conference, I 
think there was a question that 

1273
01:16:00,970 --> 01:16:04,210
we may ever verbally answered. 
It was at least asked or 

1274
01:16:04,210 --> 01:16:10,940
discussed, and it was about how 
do I find my my child's call or 

1275
01:16:10,940 --> 01:16:13,340
purpose right. 
I want to help get them in it. 

1276
01:16:13,740 --> 01:16:15,780
And man, the Holy Ghost because 
we need the Holy Spirit 

1277
01:16:15,780 --> 01:16:19,980
quickened on the inside of me. 
You find your gifting through 

1278
01:16:19,980 --> 01:16:24,820
serving just like that. 
Now I was getting ready to 

1279
01:16:24,820 --> 01:16:30,740
answer and John George actually 
answered it. 

1280
01:16:30,740 --> 01:16:34,900
Really got the same thing by the
Spirit in principle. 

1281
01:16:36,180 --> 01:16:38,020
But I thought, man, why is 
church intense important? 

1282
01:16:38,020 --> 01:16:41,540
Not only you quit, but you find 
a place to serve, and in serving

1283
01:16:41,540 --> 01:16:45,140
you find your gifting and God 
will say what? 

1284
01:16:45,700 --> 01:16:47,780
Well done. 
And guess what is if you're 

1285
01:16:47,780 --> 01:16:51,660
faithful and you're gifting, 
he's going to give you more. 

1286
01:16:51,660 --> 01:16:54,340
In this life, sometimes I 
reflect. 

1287
01:16:54,980 --> 01:16:57,860
I don't think about title often 
I could care less about title. 

1288
01:16:59,620 --> 01:17:03,340
I I'm not ambitious like that. 
I just want to say humble. 

1289
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:06,880
You know, I think about my 
journey since 1997. 

1290
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:09,680
It was just, I went to church. 
God said go to Bible school. 

1291
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:12,760
I went to Bible school. 
At Bible school. 

1292
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:16,480
I was hoping to meet a spouse. 
January my second year. 

1293
01:17:16,480 --> 01:17:17,880
I thought, Lord, this ain't 
going to happen. 

1294
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:23,440
I caramba, I really want to meet
somebody at Rama Rama Bridal 

1295
01:17:23,440 --> 01:17:26,040
Training Center because I know 
it's not really what it's 

1296
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:28,280
called. 
They have been trained the same 

1297
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:30,640
way. 
And so in January that I just 

1298
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:32,160
kind of set my heart. 
You know God looks at the heart.

1299
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:34,010
Okay. 
I'm going to go back to apostle 

1300
01:17:34,010 --> 01:17:36,010
scales because that's the church
I came out of in Columbus. 

1301
01:17:36,010 --> 01:17:38,810
I'm just going to go serve him. 
When I got my heart right bam. 

1302
01:17:38,850 --> 01:17:42,530
Heart right bam. 
I met Angie never end up going 

1303
01:17:42,530 --> 01:17:45,530
back to Columbus. 
But guess what we were just 

1304
01:17:45,530 --> 01:17:47,210
faithful at Rayma. 
She end up working for the 

1305
01:17:47,210 --> 01:17:49,450
ministry. 
I selling cars just faithful. 

1306
01:17:49,450 --> 01:17:52,170
Faithful faithful connect to a 
pastor or during that time we 

1307
01:17:52,170 --> 01:17:55,090
did some jail ministry together 
with them. 

1308
01:17:55,410 --> 01:17:58,330
Some youth ministry together 
with them did we had graduated 

1309
01:17:58,330 --> 01:17:59,770
the same time just stayed 
faithful to him. 

1310
01:17:59,770 --> 01:18:01,490
Stayed faithful to him, 2000 
and. 

1311
01:18:01,490 --> 01:18:05,080
Four, he says, hey, we're 
starting a church. 

1312
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:07,600
Pray about it. 
You want to come with us? 

1313
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:12,480
Angie and I prayed about it. 
We actually, in our heart we had

1314
01:18:12,480 --> 01:18:14,040
just got married. 
We're going to wait one year. 

1315
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:17,040
So we said we're in arrest but 
we're going to wait. 

1316
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:19,840
They actually came to Florida 
but end up going back and 

1317
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,040
serving our pastor David EMI for
several years before they 

1318
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:26,120
actually came in 2004. 
So then in 2004 they they said 

1319
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:28,920
we were going and we had fell 
right at that time we said we're

1320
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:30,560
going with you. 
He didn't promise anything. 

1321
01:18:31,650 --> 01:18:32,970
He just said no. 
And your heart's supposed to 

1322
01:18:32,970 --> 01:18:34,370
come. 
So we came. 

1323
01:18:34,370 --> 01:18:37,010
No title 1 seeking title. 
Care less about title. 

1324
01:18:37,970 --> 01:18:40,970
Just following God, right? 
State Faith one church, State 

1325
01:18:40,970 --> 01:18:42,130
faithful knew these other three 
things. 

1326
01:18:42,130 --> 01:18:46,450
Prior to that, 2009 was a big 
moment for me. 

1327
01:18:46,450 --> 01:18:48,450
I was working for Enterprise 
Rent a Car. 

1328
01:18:50,450 --> 01:18:57,290
Enterprise Rent a Car 4321 in 
the house. 

1329
01:18:58,170 --> 01:19:04,610
Pastor Marcus work for 
Enterprise two and I knew 

1330
01:19:04,610 --> 01:19:06,970
someday, you know, as as 
probably would go in full time 

1331
01:19:06,970 --> 01:19:08,890
ministry. 
I wasn't asking for it, wasn't 

1332
01:19:09,930 --> 01:19:12,050
trying to manipulate anything. 
Just let things work out. 

1333
01:19:12,050 --> 01:19:20,370
Just being faithful, right? 
2009 Chloe was born July, but in

1334
01:19:20,370 --> 01:19:23,370
that month too, that's the same 
month Pastor called me, said, 

1335
01:19:23,370 --> 01:19:28,330
Hey, you want to come off full? 
I didn't have to pray about 

1336
01:19:28,330 --> 01:19:29,690
that. 
I knew, Yes. 

1337
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:31,800
You're asking it. 
You need the help? 

1338
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,120
Yes. 
So actually I was. 

1339
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:37,840
Chloe was born. 
I was on paternity leave. 

1340
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:46,400
I had an annual evaluation and I
met Ty, our manager at the 

1341
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:50,800
restaurant, and I said Ty, I 
said, and I was honest with 

1342
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:52,120
Enterprise. 
I've been with him for several 

1343
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:53,040
years. 
When they hired me in the 

1344
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:55,080
interview they said, where do 
you see yourself in five years? 

1345
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:58,600
I said church. 
They still hired me. 

1346
01:19:59,070 --> 01:20:00,350
And you know what? 
Through the anointing though, 

1347
01:20:00,350 --> 01:20:02,910
through the gift of the grace, 
I'm telling you, they look for 

1348
01:20:02,910 --> 01:20:05,390
college degree people. 
We had Bible school degrees. 

1349
01:20:05,390 --> 01:20:07,710
But Pastor Marcus, I didn't have
college degrees. 

1350
01:20:07,870 --> 01:20:11,110
You know that the top branches 
when we were in branch managers 

1351
01:20:11,830 --> 01:20:14,790
in Northeast Florida, Pastor 
Marcus and myself, we were 

1352
01:20:14,790 --> 01:20:18,310
trumping not to put down a 
degree but we had the anointing 

1353
01:20:18,310 --> 01:20:19,750
upon us. 
And we're running to the most 

1354
01:20:19,750 --> 01:20:23,070
successful branches for 
Enterprise faithful. 

1355
01:20:23,550 --> 01:20:26,590
But at that evaluation, I said, 
Ty, I'm, I'm giving you my two 

1356
01:20:26,590 --> 01:20:28,230
weeks notice. 
Boy, he got up real quick and 

1357
01:20:28,230 --> 01:20:30,850
left. 
Called his boss is like freak 

1358
01:20:30,850 --> 01:20:32,410
out mode. 
But I told him it was coming, 

1359
01:20:32,410 --> 01:20:34,210
you know, back several years 
ago. 

1360
01:20:35,170 --> 01:20:36,810
What am I saying? 
Because it's no different for 

1361
01:20:36,810 --> 01:20:40,890
you what God hasn't planned. 
See, it started with me being 

1362
01:20:40,890 --> 01:20:45,890
faithful as a man, faithful as a
husband, Faithful on parenting 

1363
01:20:46,370 --> 01:20:48,930
faithful my devotion. 
Life, faithful my prayer 

1364
01:20:48,930 --> 01:20:51,290
meditation, life. 
Faithful to listen to the Holy 

1365
01:20:51,290 --> 01:20:53,570
Ghost, faithful and church 
attendance. 

1366
01:20:54,090 --> 01:20:56,130
And this fifth thing I'm going 
to give you is accountability. 

1367
01:20:58,770 --> 01:21:01,770
Mediocre people want authority 
without accountability. 

1368
01:21:03,170 --> 01:21:05,250
I want somebody to be able to 
speak in my life. 

1369
01:21:07,010 --> 01:21:08,810
My my wife knows this. 
I have. 

1370
01:21:09,490 --> 01:21:12,730
I wasn't as close with Kenneth W
Hagan, Pastor Kenneth W Hagan, 

1371
01:21:12,730 --> 01:21:15,050
like obviously Pastor has been 
able to develop a close 

1372
01:21:15,050 --> 01:21:17,130
relationship with him. 
That was a large church. 

1373
01:21:17,410 --> 01:21:21,210
I really didn't get to know him 
very well intimately, although 

1374
01:21:21,210 --> 01:21:23,670
he knows me. 
But, you know, obviously 

1375
01:21:23,670 --> 01:21:25,630
pastorize of intimate 
relationship because they text 

1376
01:21:25,630 --> 01:21:27,430
and call off. 
And now I I was able to get a 

1377
01:21:27,430 --> 01:21:30,430
little closer to apostle scales 
when I was at his church. 

1378
01:21:30,750 --> 01:21:33,830
And I've gotten really close to 
Pastor Earl in my role here. 

1379
01:21:33,830 --> 01:21:36,150
So listen when I talk about 
accountability, though. 

1380
01:21:36,150 --> 01:21:41,190
My wife knows if I ever get 
Squirrely, she's got two people 

1381
01:21:41,190 --> 01:21:47,470
she can text Apostle Scales and 
Pastor Earl, and that'll keep 

1382
01:21:47,470 --> 01:21:51,380
you on track. 
When there's no accountability, 

1383
01:21:51,380 --> 01:21:56,500
guess what? 
You can get out of your lane or 

1384
01:21:56,500 --> 01:21:58,900
out of your gifting because you 
got nobody to speak into your 

1385
01:21:58,900 --> 01:22:06,300
life.
