1 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,680 Tonight I'm going to talk to you about training terrain. 2 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,600 All right? I actually had another title. 3 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,920 It was kind of political. Be honest with you, because I 4 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,080 wanted hits on YouTube and I thought if I use this, maybe, 5 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:29,120 you know, people just in general would go after this particular 6 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,440 phrase and then they would find us. 7 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,640 But at the end of the day, I'm like, I'm not here for them. 8 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,960 We're training for raining. So Matthew chapter 6 verse 33 9 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,720 says this, but seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness 10 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,960 and all these things will be added to you. 11 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,480 Most of the time when I open up service, I open up service 12 00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:50,400 praying that the Holy Spirit would do 4 things for us and I'm 13 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,880 not doing that by routine. I'm doing that so we have 14 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,920 revelation that the Holy Spirit, I'm not number one. 15 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,720 I'm not here to entertain you, although you know I don't want 16 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,960 you to be bored. I'm not here to entertain. 17 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,640 I'm here to to impart a spiritual truth that can only 18 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,080 come as the Spirit reveals it. So I can deliver it by the 19 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,400 Spirit, but you have to catch it by the Spirit and let it renew 20 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,200 your mind. So you have to understand the 21 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,600 working of the Holy Ghost is to cause things to come to your 22 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,160 remembrance, teach you all things, guide you into all truth 23 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,760 and excuse me then disclose things to come. 24 00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:32,680 There are gifts that function right in the church and that's 25 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,360 awesome. Although Pastor Marcy didn't say 26 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,960 thus saith the Lord, I am good all the time. 27 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,600 The reality is why she up here in the 1st place. 28 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,400 It's definitely she had some prompting in her spirit by the 29 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,200 Holy Ghost to communicate that. Now if you've been trained, you 30 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,040 realize that she just really gave the gift of prophecy, which 31 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,640 is just an A word of edification so that the church can be 32 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,600 edified, encouraged and strengthened concerning 33 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,880 something of our Father. And she did that even though she 34 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,560 didn't come up and say thus saith the Lord, because 35 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,120 obviously the Lord has said he is good, right? 36 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,960 He is a good father and He works things for our good and what the 37 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,160 devil meant for bad, he turns for right. 38 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,680 So she's communicating Scripture by unction of the Spirit. 39 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,720 And even though we're not saying it, we had the gifts in 40 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,920 operation tonight. We had the gifts in operation, 41 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,120 You know, cause a lot of times if we don't pay attention in the 42 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,200 Spirit, then a lot of times things are happening and we 43 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,120 think it's just us when it's really God moving and when God 44 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,760 opens or reveals things in your mind by the Spirit, something 45 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,080 that is a move of God. Please, we, we will not be the 46 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,960 church that's going to box or a believer that puts God in a box. 47 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,960 That a move of God is only when the miraculous happens or a move 48 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,440 of God is only when everyone's shouting, screaming, running, 49 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,480 dancing, and, you know, jumping for joy. 50 00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:12,200 In fact, Pastor Denise had a phenomenal message on joy at 51 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,680 camp meeting. It was amazing. 52 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,800 I text her after I said I didn't text her. 53 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,520 I went to and talked to her. I said, Pastor Denise, I said 54 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,320 that that needs to be a book with your name on it. 55 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,680 It was such a great, solid teaching on the joy of the Lord. 56 00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:30,960 It was awesome and needed for the body of Christ, you know, 57 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,880 because again, there are aspects that God does and it and it 58 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:40,400 elates us, it excites us. It is fun, it is awesome, but 59 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,760 it's not only a move of God. Are you hearing me? 60 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,920 And so we need to know know this. 61 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,280 Do you understand if I just read Scripture in a monotone voice 62 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,360 and you hear the Scripture, that's a move of God. 63 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,480 So. So everything God is saying is 64 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,400 exciting. Everything God is saying is 65 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,280 moving. And when you receive it by the 66 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,240 Spirit, it's an amazing thing. So we've already had the gifts 67 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,400 in operation tonight. We're going to have the 68 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,160 impartation of the Spirit tonight. 69 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,880 And again, how it is tonight will be will is, is directly 70 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,480 linked to your expectation, Amen. 71 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:20,000 And if I think you're getting too familiar with my voice, I 72 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,840 might come slap you don't want you sleeping on me. 73 00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:26,760 Amen. All right, so Matthew 633 we say 74 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,160 this because it says but seek first. 75 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,680 This is even though we're using some of the same scriptures. 76 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,880 Could we learn more from it? So he said, but seek when first 77 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:42,840 I'm I will forego to breakdown, but but seek first his Kingdom 78 00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:47,200 and his righteousness. We love the Kingdom because the 79 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,680 Bible's about a king, his Kingdom and his royal offspring. 80 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,600 Actually, it is about King's dominion and we are only trying 81 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,680 to go back to original intent. God is trying to give us 82 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,720 revelation of something that existed in the garden. 83 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,480 And so, you know, we're just trying to get technically back 84 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,480 to the beginning of what God intended in the 1st place. 85 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,240 But yet not only do we seek His Kingdom, we also have to seek 86 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,680 His. So first we are to seek His 87 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,240 Kingdom and 1st we are to seek his. 88 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,400 We are to seek His righteousness. 89 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:33,040 When righteousness is God's way of doing it, it's God's way of 90 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,400 doing it. It's righteous because it's 91 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,680 God's way of doing it. So we are to seek God's way of 92 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,640 doing it. When now we all have to admit 93 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,560 we've all been in situations where the latter part of that 94 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:53,640 was not first. We sought a way to overcome our 95 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,200 challenge or to over go through this situation of our own 96 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,160 understanding. Even though we have a scripture 97 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:07,360 that says lean not on your own understanding, but in ALL, all 98 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,800 your ways acknowledged and he'll make your pass. 99 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,560 OK, But what do we do? We tend to, you know, based upon 100 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,080 our knowledge, based upon our experiences, even based upon our 101 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,400 faith victories. We say God did it here like 102 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,840 this. He's going to do it again like 103 00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:25,160 this. Well, he may not do it the same 104 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,240 way, but the results is going to be the same. 105 00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:32,520 OK, So we need to seek first His way of doing it. 106 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,840 Righteousness means we're in right standing with the 107 00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:40,000 governing authority, and you're in right standing with the 108 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,200 governing authority when you are doing it the way He said to do 109 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,320 it, Say Amen. And is God always right? 110 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,400 Is God always right? He is never wrong. 111 00:06:52,600 --> 00:07:00,440 God is not a man that He should. He does not lie OK, so the seek 112 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,160 first his Kingdom and his righteousness and all these 113 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,000 things will be added to you. So not only do we need to seek 114 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,760 the Kingdom, we also need to seek his way of doing things, 115 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:16,400 which I find interesting because of how righteousness is and I so 116 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,840 I want to talk a little bit about the righteousness of God. 117 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,640 OK, turn over to 2nd Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17 to 21. 118 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,320 Because there are, there are. It's just like salvation. 119 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,640 Salvation is a door. We were in the domain of 120 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,320 darkness. We are transferred into the 121 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,840 Kingdom of his beloved Son through the cross of Jesus 122 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,120 Christ. Jesus is the way, the truth and 123 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,520 life. He's the door, He loud. 124 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,160 But through our belief in him as Savior, through his death, 125 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,480 burial and resurrection that he has wiped away all of our sin. 126 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,200 He's paid the price for by accepting him as Lord of our 127 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,680 lives. We enter through the door into 128 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,640 the Kingdom of God. We do not stay at the door. 129 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,840 We are to enjoy the benefits that are associated with our 130 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,640 salvation. Now many are stuck at the door 131 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,800 because they they're in and that's all they know and that's 132 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,320 it. But that was never God's intent 133 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,680 to get you in the door. Standing by the door, He wanted 134 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,120 you to enjoy the benefits that are associated with His Kingdom. 135 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,040 And here's the thing, when you were outside, you knew nothing 136 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,960 about this. You didn't know how to function 137 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,520 here. So what happens is when you get 138 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,040 in your spirit's different, but your mind still thinks like it 139 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,880 did when it was outside. This is why you must renew your 140 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,040 mind. That's your responsibility and 141 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,280 you can because your spirit man is alive. 142 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,600 Not only is it alive, but it has been made righteous in right 143 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,720 standing with God. So second Corinthians chapter 5 144 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,520 verse 17 through 21 says, therefore, if anyone is in 145 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,440 Christ, he's a new creature. The old things passed away. 146 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,120 Behold, new things have come. Now all thing from God, who 147 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,960 reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry 148 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,160 of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling 149 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,480 the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses 150 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,200 against them. And he committed to us the word 151 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,040 of reconciliation. Therefore say, therefore, we are 152 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,320 ambassadors for Christ, as though God we're making an 153 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,040 appeal through us. We beg you on behalf of Christ, 154 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,000 be reconciled to God. He made him who knew no sin to 155 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,320 be sent on our behalf, so that we might what become the 156 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:24,880 righteousness of God in Him. So what we could not do in and 157 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,480 of ourselves. We could not have a 158 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:35,360 righteousness or we could not produce separate from God the 159 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:40,360 ability to make a demand in front of the throne that I'm 160 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:45,600 right with you of my own merit. Our spirit man was dead, 161 00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:50,160 separated, cut off. We because of what Adam did, 162 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:55,440 because he fell, because of that transgression that transmitted 163 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,200 across the board to all of humanity. 164 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,560 We are not in right standing with God and only Christ could 165 00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:07,120 pay a price that gives us the right to become righteousness. 166 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,760 Now, what does it mean to become righteous? 167 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:14,320 We must be a new spirit. We're a new creature in Christ 168 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,960 the new creature or the new spirit man is righteous. 169 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:24,600 It's in Christ, it's in the king in essence, it's the spirit of 170 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,240 the king. Now it's our spirit, not his, 171 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,120 but our spirit is in his likeness. 172 00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:33,920 Now how do we know what that looks like? 173 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:41,760 Well Genesis 1 he breathe into into the Adam or the dirt suit 174 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,960 and he became a living being and from God he made man so of his 175 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,800 being he breathed into him the breath of life. 176 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,960 So Adam spirit was alive to God. It was of the nature of God. 177 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:59,040 But Adam himself is not God. He is a child of God. 178 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,000 Jesus did the same before he was ascended to heaven. 179 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,080 He went in and saw his disciples in a room. 180 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,920 He breathed on them and said receive the Holy Ghost because 181 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,560 they had made him Lord. And when they had made him Lord, 182 00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:13,920 they became new creatures. While Jesus was there, they 183 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,400 experienced a new birth. He breathed on them to receive 184 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,600 the Holy Ghost because you cannot put new wine and old old 185 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,120 wineskin. So Jesus experienced the new 186 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,840 birth, meaning he saw his disciples do that. 187 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,560 But then he said now wait until you have power from on high 188 00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:31,520 before we you go out start witness. 189 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,840 You need there's there's another work of the Holy Ghost. 190 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,760 OK, so we know then that we become a new creature, which 191 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,320 means the spirit man. We are a we have a body. 192 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,440 This is our body. We have a soul, which is our 193 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,520 mind, our intellect, our emotions, OK? 194 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,440 And then we have our spirit. Now before Christ, that spirit 195 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,360 was cut off from God. Dead just means separated from 196 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,520 God. It had no ability to be right 197 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,560 with God. Even when through your mind and 198 00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:08,960 body you're trying to be right. That's why Paul said, look, man, 199 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,120 I mean, I was trying to do everything to be right with God, 200 00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:14,920 only to find out I'm not right with God. 201 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,320 I'm not right with him so, but once he made Jesus Lord, then he 202 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,040 became a new spirit. That spirit that Paul could not 203 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:30,120 do through his own personal efforts and work to earn a 204 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,240 spirit that was alive to God. He could not do it. 205 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,320 None of us could do that. But confessing Jesus as Lord, a 206 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,320 man who knew no sin became sin so that we might become the 207 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,480 righteousness of God in Christ, the new creature is immediately, 208 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,040 instantaneously in right standing with God. 209 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,360 That spirit, when you're born again, is right with God, 210 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,200 period. And you don't have to do 211 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,640 anything then with that. That spirit is alive. 212 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,680 You didn't do it. God gave it to you, gave you 213 00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:12,880 that spirit, and that spirit has the ability to follow God, hear 214 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:17,320 God, and actually wants to be in right standing. 215 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,880 That's the desire of your new spirit man. 216 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:26,280 I want to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness because my 217 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,760 spirit is of Him. Are you hearing what I'm saying? 218 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,400 That is not your work that did that. 219 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,400 That is the finished work of Jesus that did that to you on 220 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,360 the inside. So your spirit man has been made 221 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,520 alive. It's been made righteous. 222 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,320 You know confidently that you are alive with God, not of any 223 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,640 self effort, but because of the effort of Jesus. 224 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,200 Isn't that amazing? That is resident in you? 225 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,160 Hallelujah. Thank you. 226 00:13:53,520 --> 00:14:00,120 This is exciting stuff because I think sometimes we forget of who 227 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:08,400 and and what we possess as a new creature, as a new creature that 228 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,960 God said, I'm going to put a spirit in you that's alive to 229 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,120 me. Now I'm giving you a new one. 230 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,800 And now I'm going to throw my whole it throw the third person 231 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,840 of the Godhead. He's going to bear witness with 232 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,960 that spirit that he's in right standing. 233 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:26,160 No more guilt, no more shame, no more condemnation, glory to God 234 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,560 and is in right standing with God. 235 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:35,400 That spirit is alive, but that spirit is a babe, or we could 236 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:40,320 say a seed. OK, let's turn over to Romans 237 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,680 chapter 5, Romans chapter 5, verse 12, and then we'll jump 238 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,280 down to 15 to 19. It says therefore, just as 239 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,280 through one man sin entered into the world and death reigned, or 240 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:55,200 death through sin, so and so death spread to all men because 241 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,200 of sin. But verse 15 but the free gift 242 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,960 is not like the transgression for if by the transgression of 243 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,680 one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by 244 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,000 the grace of the one man Jesus Christ abound to many. 245 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,240 Now if the first thing I want to point out before I finish 246 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,000 reading this passage 16 to 19 is that the free gift is not like 247 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,080 the transgression. The first thing I want to point 248 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,640 out about what it's not like is it's not it's not automatically 249 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:30,760 transferable because when Adam died, he produced after his own 250 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:37,800 kind all sinned man. It's it's your cut off when 251 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,320 Jesus through hit through the grace gift of God and the 252 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:47,920 finished work of Jesus. Now it's available for you to be 253 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:55,440 alive and righteous, but you're going to have to decide free 254 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,840 will. So again, we're lit. 255 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,120 We all sinned because Adam blew it. 256 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,520 Think about that for a moment. Now you understand how where 257 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,320 God's at in this deal. OK, so I tell Adam to produce 258 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,600 after his own kind, meaning him and his wife. 259 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,120 They have a godly race that are in my image. 260 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,960 Problem is he disobeys me and he's dead now him and he both. 261 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,440 So now they can't produce spirit beings that are like me. 262 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,680 They're of their father. Now they have fallen. 263 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,080 We use this term, they have fallen yet now guess what, we 264 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,360 are all grabbing that nature. I said we're grabbing that 265 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,720 nature. It's within us, we're grabbing 266 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:44,360 that nature and we're all for all have what sinned and fall 267 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,280 short of the glory of God. It is a transfer of which, but 268 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:53,840 God says, well, that's all right, I can fix it, Amen. 269 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,240 What's what's automatically being passed on? 270 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,640 I will make atonement for it. I'll pay the price for it. 271 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,640 And every one of them can be forgiven of it. 272 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,000 So they will not be able to stand before me and say, how can 273 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:16,280 you send me to the lake of fire? Adam ate the fruit. 274 00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:18,400 I didn't eat the fruit. Adam ate the fruit. 275 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,240 Yes. Did I sin? 276 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,000 But it was Adam. He transferred this nature to 277 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,960 me. But the Lord's like, but I've 278 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,119 made my nature available to you now. 279 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,120 And all you had to do was say yes. 280 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:37,000 So with the choice Adam made to go into sin, God's given us the 281 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:43,360 choice to get out. Hallelujah, glory to God, Amen. 282 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,000 So again, you can't say, oh, if I was Adam, I wouldn't eat the 283 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,240 fruit. Well, it doesn't matter. 284 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,960 You are not you are of Adam. And now you can choose to eat, 285 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,760 you know, the fruit of Jesus, so to speak, you know, choose life. 286 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,800 So if you're like, well, I can't do that. 287 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,800 Well, then you would have eaten the fruit if you were Adam, 288 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,000 right? So if you're resisting to make 289 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,800 Jesus Lord of your life, then if you would have been Adam, you 290 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,720 would have eaten a fruit, guaranteed, because you still 291 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,400 have choice. Now you can choose to get out, 292 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,640 you can choose the finished work of Jesus. 293 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,880 All right, 1st 16 The gift is not like that which came through 294 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,720 the one who sinned for the one. For on the one hand the judgment 295 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,560 arose from one transgressing resulting in condemnation, but 296 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,120 on the other hand, the free gift arose for many transgression 297 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,160 resulting in justification. For if by the transgression of 298 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,760 the one death reign through the one, much more those who 299 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,800 received the abundance of grace and of the gift of what 300 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,920 righteousness will reign in life through the one Jesus Christ, so 301 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,120 them as though through 1 transgression there resulted 302 00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:52,560 condemnation all men, Even so, through one act of what? 303 00:18:53,360 --> 00:19:00,720 One act of what there resulted justification of life to all 304 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,120 men. For as through the one man's 305 00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:07,440 disobedience the many were made sinners, Even so through the 306 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,920 obedience of the one, the many will be made righteous. 307 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,440 So you have to choose righteousness. 308 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,040 Now. It's through the act of 309 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:23,560 righteousness that we are freed, which means Jesus was righteous. 310 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,280 Jesus was always in right standing with the governing 311 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:34,320 authority. Jesus never committed an 312 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,560 unrighteous act. Unrighteousness just simply 313 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,000 means doing something contrary to God's word. 314 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:48,360 That's unrighteousness. He did righteousness by only 315 00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:50,560 doing what the Father says. That's why I said I don't speak 316 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,600 anything on my own initiative. I don't, don't, don't do what I 317 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,200 do. I only do what the Father said. 318 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,280 Even the baptism with John he says permitted at this time so 319 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,080 that all righteousness can be fulfilled. 320 00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:03,080 Everything that God has written about me that's supposed to be 321 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,600 fulfilled at this time. Now that I'm in the earth, I am 322 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,720 going to complete. This is why the prophecies 323 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,960 written of Jesus and all that He accomplished while He was on the 324 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,840 earth in those short 33 years and really just three years of 325 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,200 ministry. But 33 years before his death, 326 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,800 burial, resurrection, he fulfilled so many prop the 327 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:26,040 statistic ability for one person to fulfill, I think like 365 328 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,520 prophecies. Statistically you can't do it. 329 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,680 But he did it one man Why? Because he is the righteousness. 330 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:41,160 He is his one act of righteousness has given us the 331 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,040 bit. He is the Lamb that is slain. 332 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,800 He is the blood without spot or wrinkle. 333 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,160 He is perfection. He is God's anointed. 334 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,680 He is God's, the one who obeyed his Father always and not like 335 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,480 his brother Adam who disobeyed. He stayed obedient and 336 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,200 maintained righteousness. Glory to God and because of 337 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,720 that, He's given us the ability to be made righteous. 338 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,640 Our spirit man immediately becomes in right standing with 339 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,800 God. But now that righteousness needs 340 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,120 to grow. Now why do I say that? 341 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,480 Just because you've been made righteous doesn't mean you're 342 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:26,280 demonstrating righteousness through your other two parts of 343 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,440 your being. Again, we are, we have a spirit 344 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,640 man, we have a soul and we have a body. 345 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,080 God makes our spirit man right. We cannot do that. 346 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,480 But once our spirit man is made right and then he puts the Holy 347 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,360 Ghost inside us to 'cause we are the temple of the Holy Ghost. 348 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,960 Those two together, my spirit and the Holy Spirit, those two 349 00:21:54,960 --> 00:22:00,560 in agreement, and they are in agreement, have more than enough 350 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,200 power to conquer my soul realm and my body. 351 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:09,720 Come on, to put it in submission, which means when I 352 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,560 hear from my spirit what the Holy Spirit is saying and I 353 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:19,520 renew my mind so that this righteousness that I already am, 354 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,000 I just begin, Oh, I'm just going to release who I am. 355 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,240 Oh, let me be who I am. You know, I'm just going to be 356 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,440 who I am. I'm just going to be who I am. 357 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,320 This is just who I am. I'm just going to be who I am. 358 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,600 I'm the righteousness of God in crime. 359 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,600 I'm just going to be who I am. Well, the minute I do that, then 360 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,400 all of a sudden the things that are contrary to that I begin to 361 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,360 take control of, I be. Because I have a power on the 362 00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:51,000 inside that allows me to be able to conquer it. 363 00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:56,240 Hallelujah, Hallelujah. How is it that I can take 364 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:01,440 control? I not God, I can take control of 365 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,320 my choice. I can take control of whether I 366 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,920 sin or not. I can take control and how I 367 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,120 feel about a situation. I can take control about how I 368 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,680 assess situations. How can I do this? 369 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,880 Second Timothy 316 and 17 look at this. 370 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,960 He says for all Scripture, say all Scripture. 371 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,440 That's why we need to read the Bible cover to cover, right? 372 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,840 All Scripture, all Scripture is inspired by God and profitable. 373 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,600 Say it's profitable. Listen, reading the Bible is 374 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,120 profitable. It is profitable. 375 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,840 I mean, it's the greatest profit you'll ever have. 376 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,680 Amen. And I'm even over a fivefold 377 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,200 ministry profit. It is the greatest profit you'll 378 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,680 ever have. OK, so it's profitable for 379 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,520 teaching for reproof. Why is for proof coming because 380 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:02,360 you you thought away in your former life and so the Holy 381 00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:09,480 Spirit is saying we're not that right right we're not that I'm 382 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,080 telling you who you are release who you are just be who you are 383 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:18,080 just be who you are. I've made you righteous so just 384 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,360 be righteous. Just be it OK for reproof for 385 00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:27,280 what correction for here it is training in righteous. 386 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:34,840 Now this is important because what happens is we can teach a 387 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:40,480 truth in Scripture and it is true that the minute it is not 388 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,560 your effort that makes you in right standing with God. 389 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,280 It is the finished work of Jesus and you confessing him as Lord. 390 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,120 He made you righteous. You did not do that on your own 391 00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:54,080 accord. OK and that's true. 392 00:24:54,200 --> 00:25:00,760 However, that's not the end. Then now there's training in 393 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,880 righteousness. And many stop here and say I've 394 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,120 already been raised, made righteous. 395 00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:08,680 I don't have to do anything. You need to be trained. 396 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,720 Come on, you need to be trained. And again, anything you're 397 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,800 training in righteousness is not a work of yourself. 398 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,760 It is releasing who you are. It's just releasing who you are. 399 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,000 Hallelujah. So there is a training in 400 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,440 righteousness. Why? 401 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,400 So that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every 402 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,080 good work. In essence, if you do not train 403 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,400 in righteousness, the implication is you're not going 404 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,600 to be adequate. When there's good works or what? 405 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:49,480 When you face things within life, you will not release and 406 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:50,760 we're going to see another scripture. 407 00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:56,480 Your fruit of righteousness will not be seen even though you are. 408 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:04,480 It's hidden just like right now. I see no one spirit man, but I 409 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,560 can see the effects of your spirit man. 410 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,880 When I see the fruit of your spirit man producing the fruits 411 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:18,640 of the spirit, when I see you respond and behave as the 412 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,960 Scripture says, 'cause the minute you get into a situation 413 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,200 and you're doing it according to the Word, now I'm seeing your 414 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:31,880 spirit man because your spirit man that's been made right by 415 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,400 the finished work of Jesus would do these things. 416 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,240 How do we know this, 'cause you're a new creature in and 417 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,920 Christ only did the will of the Father. 418 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:50,300 He just did him. So he just did him. 419 00:26:50,420 --> 00:26:53,060 I'm just releasing who I am. This is just who I am. 420 00:26:54,140 --> 00:26:56,800 Oh, you think you're so good. I'm just me. 421 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:57,880 This is me. This is who I am. 422 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,320 This is what God said I am right. 423 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,720 Now, here's the thing, a lot of times when you live, right? 424 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,600 Well, I'll get to that later. Maybe I'll come back to that 425 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,160 later. OK, so there's training. 426 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,160 Let's look at this word training. 427 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,320 This word training is really cool. 428 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,840 This word training means this. It means the whole training and 429 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,880 education of children. Are you a child of God? 430 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,040 All right, so God wants to train you. 431 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,320 He wants to train you in who you are, OK, That He made you 432 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,600 through his finished work, He said, which relates to the 433 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:34,960 cultivation of mind and morals and employs for this purpose. 434 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,080 Now commands and admonitions, now reproofs and punishment. 435 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,640 It also includes the training and care of the body. 436 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,000 Now that can be the body of Christ, but it also can be your 437 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,440 physical body, because again, your body doesn't tell you what 438 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,640 to do. You actually have control over 439 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,800 your body. You can tell your body, yes, I 440 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,560 understand you're attracted to that person. 441 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,720 But we're not going there. We're not married, right? 442 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,920 I'm not doing, you know what? I understand that you could put 443 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,160 that in you and it make you feel a certain way, but it's just 444 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,200 killing brain cells. It's killing this, killing that. 445 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,080 You're not, I'm not doing it. Same thing. 446 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,840 You know what, I could eat that, but at the end of the day, I'm 447 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,560 not putting that in me because I know I'm not healthy. 448 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,240 When I do that, it doesn't help my body. 449 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,400 And you actually can't control that. 450 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,880 Hallelujah. And when you do that, you're 451 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,560 just being you. OK, I'm going to talk more about 452 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:38,000 that. Whatever in adults and whatever 453 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,560 in adults also cultivates the soul, especially by correcting 454 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,800 mistakes and curbing passions. This is training. 455 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,200 It also, it means it's instruction which aims at 456 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,720 increasing virtue. Are you hearing me? 457 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,960 In essence, it is training so that God reveals what are the 458 00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:01,720 evils by which he would visit man so that you do not function 459 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:07,160 in those capacities. So when he's training and 460 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,360 righteous, he's saying, you know who you are. 461 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,640 This is who you are. Because again we say, oh, wait a 462 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,480 minute, now you're getting into a bunch of do's and don'ts. 463 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:17,680 You know, that sounds like religion. 464 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:18,920 Let me tell you what religion is. 465 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,840 Religion is you determining what you would do with God and what 466 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,400 you won't do with God. Now you've entered back into 467 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,560 works you have because when you don't release who you are as a 468 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:37,200 righteous person, you are actually going back to works. 469 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,120 Because when you keep some scripture, but you choose to not 470 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,920 keep others and say, well, I don't have to do it. 471 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,760 You're actually in works now because you're dictating which 472 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:57,400 things of God you won't do. But a righteous person says I 473 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,320 just do what the Father says. That's just who I am. 474 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,080 I don't have to work this. It's just my nature and it's not 475 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,640 works. It's just it's who I am. 476 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,680 I enter into works when I am doing something opposite of my 477 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,360 nature and expecting God to be OK with it. 478 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,120 Oh, you don't want to hear that? It's fine. 479 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:25,280 I Every believer enters into works when we know we are doing 480 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:30,520 something contrary to His word, which is contrary to our nature, 481 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:35,000 and we're wanting God to still be OK with us. 482 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:41,840 That's works. That self effort. 483 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:49,640 That's the whole point of works is what do I do that that God 484 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,920 would be pleased enough with me and you're making the choice 485 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,840 that is works and you can do it as a righteous person, right? 486 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,920 Meaning you can you hear God speak to yourself, you can do 487 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,400 this. That's just who you are. 488 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:03,600 And you're like, I can't do that. 489 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,600 What do you mean you can't do that? 490 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,680 I mean your old man can't do it. Your mind can't do it, but I'm 491 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,720 here to renew that. I'm here to train you. 492 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:19,040 The training is just release who you are, Lord. 493 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,800 But then what's he going to say? Just kick in my grace, right? 494 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,880 My grace is sufficient. Just release who you are. 495 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,120 But Lord, you know what? Doesn't matter what? 496 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,080 It doesn't matter what anyone's done, doesn't matter what 497 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,960 anything's happened, doesn't matter anything in this 498 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,200 situation. You just need to handle the 499 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,600 situation the way God's telling you to handle it. 500 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,880 Now, that doesn't mean, as Pastor Marsh just said, and I've 501 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,240 said before, preach love is not a doormat. 502 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,760 A response, a righteous response, is not always I'll 503 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,120 forgive you and just act like it didn't happen. 504 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,960 Sometimes it is. I have already forgiven you. 505 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,440 The problem is you've not asked for it. 506 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,160 So our relationship actually isn't walking in reconciliation. 507 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,560 And I cannot condone what you're doing actively. 508 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,000 And so because you're actively choosing to separate from the 509 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,400 relationship, although you say I'm leaving you, you actually 510 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,000 left me because of your behavior. 511 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,840 This is why we're not fellowshipping anymore here. 512 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:20,080 You did this, I didn't. And whenever you're ready to 513 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:27,840 come back here I am. Sometimes love does that and 514 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,640 that's the righteous because a lot of times we do get prone to 515 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,280 let's just you know what? Can't do it this time, this time 516 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,320 can't act like it didn't happen. Can't act like it's not happen. 517 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,640 It's not there's no real repentance. 518 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,800 Or you know what I the righteous thing to do is to put them in a 519 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:49,720 position to be able to repent. Well, you know, again, if we 520 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,880 don't watch out, we, we like at certain aspects of Scripture, 521 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,800 but we don't care for other aspects of Scripture. 522 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,040 And then you and it all comes out so well, pastor or apostle, 523 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,800 which one do we do? The one that God says to do at 524 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,720 the time. That's the one you do. 525 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,480 That's the one you do whatever he says to do at the time. 526 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,640 You know, Jesus came to the earth and acted one way. 527 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,320 The next time he's come in a different way. 528 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,320 He came as a suffering servant. When he comes back the next 529 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,080 time, he will not come back as a suffering servant. 530 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,360 I mean, why can't he come back as a suffering servant? 531 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:32,320 Because that's not the righteous way to come back. 532 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,000 That's not the will of the Father. 533 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,920 When the great tribulation, those are righteous acts. 534 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,280 That's the righteousness of God responding to the situation. 535 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,120 Amen. The only way you know how to do 536 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,880 this is you have to become trained. 537 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:59,000 It's not one-size-fits-all. Every situation it call it's 538 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,680 calls for training because the enemy's tactics are different 539 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,960 and we're not ignorant of them. Which means then God will train 540 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,639 us how to respond to each one and release who we are. 541 00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:14,800 Hallelujah, come on now. So Hebrews 12/11 says it this 542 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:15,880 way. All discipline. 543 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:22,840 This is the exact same Greek word that we just read in Second 544 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,120 Timothy 3 when it said training. The word training and righteous, 545 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,560 same word that they use as discipline here, but you could 546 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,080 say all training for all discipline for the moment seems 547 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,960 not to be joyful, which tells us when you're having training and 548 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:41,679 righteousness, guess what? It won't seem like why is it not 549 00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:44,560 joyful? Because God saying now you can 550 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:49,920 do this and your flesh and old way of thinking says not doing 551 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,280 it that way. We're going to do it my way. 552 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,520 I've been God. I've been in this situation more 553 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,520 than one time. I got this one. 554 00:34:58,520 --> 00:34:59,720 The Lord's like you don't have that one. 555 00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:02,880 That man's dead. The the real you, it handles it 556 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,640 this way. Just release yourself when I I 557 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,920 don't know that I like that I don't know. 558 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:12,600 And the reason it hurts because you have to crucify your flesh 559 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:17,320 and self to release your righteousness. 560 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:24,480 It's painful, it's painful. The easiest thing to do is just 561 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,480 respond fleshly. I mean, we were professionals at 562 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,000 it, right? To be carnal, all those things. 563 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,360 But man, when you want to live righteous, then it gets pretty 564 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,640 painful. Why? 565 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,680 Because all the Lord said don't do this. 566 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:43,880 And now all of a sudden, everything in your response is 567 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,160 way different. Amen. 568 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,320 And it's painful, it's sorrowful. 569 00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:55,240 Yet to those who have been, what? 570 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,600 There's that word trained by it afterwards, not before. 571 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,800 Come on, come on. Afterwards it yields the 572 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:09,560 peaceful fruit of righteousness. So when you're born again, 573 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,680 you've been made righteous. Nothing you've done. 574 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,960 God made you a new spirit that's in right standing with him, 575 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,520 alive to God. And then put the Holy Ghost in 576 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,040 you to let you know your spirit man is alive to God. 577 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,040 No condemnation, no guilt. You're right before God. 578 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,720 You can boldly come before the throne of grace. 579 00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:29,280 However, we need the world to see the fruit of this. 580 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,720 Amen. So in order to see the fruit, 581 00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:34,880 we're going to do some training because if we do not do any 582 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,440 training, you will be alive to God on the inside, but nobody's 583 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:39,800 going to know it. Come on. 584 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,080 Have you been around a Co worker that they come to you and told 585 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,840 you they were born again and you're shocked? 586 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:50,120 You're like, man, I there's no evidence. 587 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,760 I mean, I would have I I've been praying for them to get saved 588 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,840 and the whole time they're telling me they're born again. 589 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,080 This is amazing. What are you what are we missing 590 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,920 the fruit of righteousness because if they're truly born 591 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,880 again that that's really who they are and that's the easiest 592 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,920 response. It's the natural response for 593 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,960 them. However, because they do not 594 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:20,320 allow the training process, we cannot get the fruit cannot get 595 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,080 the fruit. That's tough deal. 596 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,960 This is why Jesus said go into all the world and make not 597 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:32,160 converts because conversion will not let you walk in fruits of 598 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,080 righteousness. You may be right with God, I'm 599 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,440 not judging you on that, but what I am saying is I can't see 600 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,280 it's fruit and the only way we're going to see the fruit is 601 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,080 to get training. And training comes from the word 602 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,960 of God being rightly divided where we say, OK Lord, what do I 603 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,400 do here? Because again, when you have 604 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,960 cancer in your body and the Lord saying to you, hey, you're the 605 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,480 righteousness of God in Christ, and one of the benefits of being 606 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,400 a righteous child is that by his tribes, you're healed, son, 607 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,760 believe me. And that righteousness will 608 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,320 permeate and heal your body. Glory to God. 609 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,760 How? What a benefit of righteousness 610 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,720 that now body you get in alignment. 611 00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:15,600 Now, I can't stop this body from breaking down to the point that 612 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,400 it will let go of my spirit man over a period of time because 613 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,320 it's not a glorified body. But I will get one of those one 614 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,720 day. But until then, I can keep it 615 00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:28,400 functioning at the highest capacity until the Lord calls me 616 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,280 home. And I'm telling you, I'm talking 617 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,600 high capacity. I don't even listen to people. 618 00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:37,200 And oh, now when you get the sage, I just want to say shut up 619 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,440 and come out or get thee behind me. 620 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,280 Satan, Don't talk to me and tell me because I get older, I'm 621 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,520 going to feel a certain way. You know, I am quickened by the 622 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,400 Spirit. If I eat right, workout, I keep 623 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,440 myself, I'll keep this thing functioning at high capacity. 624 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,560 I understand it's getting a little bit older, I reckon, but 625 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,480 I don't have to have the ailments. 626 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,240 I'm going to be strong in the Lord and the power of his might. 627 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:09,480 I get the supernatural power on my natural because again, Moses 628 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:14,840 is 120 years old before he departs and it says he was 629 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:19,760 strong and you can't, well, it's just different now. 630 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,000 It's not different. He wasn't even born again, 631 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,360 didn't even have the Spirit of God on the inside of him. 632 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,360 Caleb is at 85 taking mountains. Well, our diet is different. 633 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,760 We'll change your diet and get a good one then. 634 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,840 Don't blame it on what everyone's doing. 635 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,480 Take the time and discipline yourself to do something 636 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,440 different. You can do this. 637 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,200 If you want that result, I get it. 638 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,960 If it doesn't, you go on to be with the Lord. 639 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:52,520 We understand that. We settle for what we want, and 640 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,080 I want the fruit of righteousness to show up in my 641 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:59,040 life, not only in my soul realm, so that my emotions match my 642 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,760 spirit. Because you understand, as 643 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,240 spirit beings, we are not emotionless. 644 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,560 We're just not led by them. I'm led by a spirit that 645 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,760 produces an emotion that's in right standing with God. 646 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,480 That's why in mourning, I can be joyful. 647 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,480 You know, when something bad happens, I can have a cheer 648 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:24,040 about it instead of being depressed about it, 'cause I'm 649 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,400 trained in righteousness and it will yield the fruit of 650 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,440 righteousness. So we have to allow ourselves to 651 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,360 be trained. OK? 652 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,240 So those who've been trained by it afterwards, say afterwards 653 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,680 will yield this peaceful fruit of rights. 654 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:46,760 It is not it, it, it is not joyful, but sorrowful at the 655 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,160 time. But once we get through now, 656 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,560 just recently, my wife signed us up to go have a massage. 657 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,480 And so she did deep tissue. OK. 658 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,800 And so, you know, you know, she's talking about deep tissue 659 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,080 before. No problem. 660 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,480 And you know, I've obviously thought maybe, you know, I was 661 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,360 having some deep tissue. I remember one time at Tulsa we 662 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,160 did 1 and I was convinced that my massage lady was mad at 663 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,880 somebody. Maybe I had a bad day with a 664 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,200 relationship or something and was taken out on my body. 665 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,320 And I'm like, I don't know that I asked for deep tissue right 666 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:20,440 now. I mean, you know, you're 667 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,840 working. However, I realized she really 668 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,720 want deep tissue. She would just firm because you 669 00:41:25,720 --> 00:41:28,200 know, now I'm, I'll be honest with you, I really don't care 670 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,280 for guys to massage me at all. But there was a guy, you know, 671 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,320 at the end of the day, Marcy signed us up. 672 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:39,800 Two guys walk out and I'm like, but that's I'm already like, you 673 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,040 know, I'm mentally having to deal with this right now, So I'm 674 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,120 like, OK, it's fine. I just like LG is my trainer 675 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:47,440 right now. I'm going to be fine, right. 676 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,720 I'm going to be think more sports now that's I was already 677 00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:53,600 thinking more sports. So, you know, get on the thing 678 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:57,040 and he comes in his deep chips. Yeah you know well, bro, he came 679 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:02,760 in with elbows. I had a for the first time, true 680 00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:14,080 deep tissue torture or massage. I mean, it was, I was, I was 681 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,240 learning what my pain tolerance is. 682 00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:19,800 I'm telling you, I was learning. I am on the table now. 683 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:24,560 I'm glad I was face down first 'cause you can do a lot inside 684 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,560 that pillow that nobody sees. You can grimace and nobody knows 685 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:34,320 nothing, right? I mean, I was like, so I mean, I 686 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:39,200 mean he's on and I'm like Jesus, he's going to go to the other 687 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:44,200 side of my back. I mean, it got hot in there. 688 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,120 Quit. I'm like Jesus. 689 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,520 And I'm so I so I mentally kicked. 690 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,760 I said, OK, I'm treating this like a workout, you know, cuz 691 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,200 I'm a gym guy and I'm like, sometimes you go in the weight 692 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,400 room and it stinks. It is hurting. 693 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,400 You're hating it. You're hating every Rep, every 694 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:06,880 bit of it. But then when you finish, you're 695 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,720 like, thank God I went today. Yeah, you feel good. 696 00:43:09,720 --> 00:43:14,600 I'm like, I am in sorrow right now, but there's joy awaiting 697 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,720 me. There is a fruit of my benefit 698 00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:17,840 that is waiting on the other side. 699 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,160 I'm like, man, I'm so glad I went to the gym. 700 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,400 I said, I'm fixing this massage is that experience. 701 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,920 So I'm like, it's all I am going to be so happy this happened 702 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:31,440 after it's over. So I embraced the pain and it 703 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:36,240 kept working and man, I was and I did so good all the way 704 00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:39,320 through till he flipped me over. And then they do this where they 705 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,560 get up underneath, you know, your neck here and they want to 706 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,880 work these traps here. And man, he came back to the 707 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,720 trash right at the end. I mean, I'm like an hour in 50 708 00:43:47,720 --> 00:43:50,640 minutes. What in and I've, you know, been 709 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,600 good, but man, he hit some knots or something at another level 710 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:59,920 and I and so I broke silence. I was like, who? 711 00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:01,600 You hit some knots there, didn't you? 712 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,760 And that was like, God, I'm hurting right now and I wish you 713 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,480 would stop. You know, he never once says, is 714 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,720 this too much pressure? He didn't care about me. 715 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,000 He didn't care about my painting. 716 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,280 He was like, deep tissue is what you want, bro. 717 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,080 We gonna give it to you. And he was like, I mean, I did 718 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,480 not know the elbow could do that. 719 00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:22,840 The arm. I'm like the man, not even he 720 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,600 didn't even have to have hands because I don't think he used 721 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,800 his hands the whole time. All I'm saying is is that once 722 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:36,680 it was over, I was like, Dang, man, I I'm better. 723 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,160 I am better. So then I decided maybe I should 724 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:47,240 do one every quarter. Definitely not every month. 725 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,360 And maybe it's only half, maybe twice a year. 726 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,320 I don't know yet. I haven't decided. 727 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,360 But there was a benefit because there were. 728 00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,920 I needed it. I had some issues and you know, 729 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:02,800 a lot of us are living with issues. 730 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:09,120 We become we're functioning with issues that a little deep 731 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,400 tissue. You hear what I'm saying? 732 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,600 So training in righteousness, got to get some deep tissue on 733 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,520 you. He'll be like, all right, we 734 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,880 going to work on this so that something different comes out 735 00:45:20,240 --> 00:45:23,800 and you're like, whoa, hey, you want to say Nah, we ain't doing 736 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:24,960 that today. And some of you getting off the 737 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,600 table is like, look, I'll get the knot out. 738 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,840 I can, I can get rid of this. I can get rid of this build up. 739 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,640 I can get rid of what's going on in your muscle. 740 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,280 I can fix that, right? LG, we can fix this. 741 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,280 I mean, I don't go to LG because he uses needles. 742 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,520 I mean, that's a whole nother level, right? 743 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,000 I don't even know what that means, right? 744 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,160 You know, willfully let him put acupuncture all over me and 745 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,280 stick me. No man, I don't know. 746 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,040 I mean, I did go to LG one time, but he didn't put a needle in me 747 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,040 and I'm thankful to God he did not. 748 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,280 I probably would do the cup thing, you know, the cupping 749 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:57,840 that would probably, I'd probably do that. 750 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:04,080 Maybe I had a bruise, whatever. But the needle, you know, I 751 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,040 mean, I cannot handle it, sure, but I don't know how many pins 752 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,000 on how many putting in me. I'm not like that's enough 753 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,760 today. I already looked like a 754 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:11,880 pincushion. Please stop. 755 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,800 OK, so again, fruit, what fruit is, is that which originates or 756 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,760 comes from something and effect or result. 757 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:23,640 It's a work and act, a deed. So when you are trained in 758 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:28,040 righteousness, afterwards the peaceful fruit of righteousness 759 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:34,480 shows up, which means not only do you see it, but everyone 760 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:39,120 around you sees it as well. Now here's the thing, when you 761 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:45,680 put out your fruit cause fruit seen, a seed is in the ground 762 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,080 and then has to produce the plant that then produces fruit. 763 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:49,920 Fruit seen and fruit is to be eaten. 764 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,120 I can offer you my fruit of righteousness, but you can 765 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,600 choose not to bite it. But it's there nonetheless 766 00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,400 because I know when I'm producing righteousness. 767 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:05,000 Are you hearing me All right, Matthew 510 so know this. 768 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,240 So we're starting to wind down now. 769 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:14,040 Blessed are those who have been what persecuted for the sake of 770 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:21,080 now this is you need to know this for theirs is the Kingdom 771 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:22,200 of heaven. You know why yours is the 772 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,360 Kingdom of heaven? Because only righteousness 773 00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:31,840 exists in the Kingdom. There are no half righteous, 774 00:47:36,720 --> 00:47:42,840 it's total righteousness. No 9090 percenters are there 775 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,680 100%. Now good news is is spirit. 776 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:50,000 I get it, but don't think you're going to go to heaven as a 777 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,040 spirit being made righteous and you get to keep your earthly 778 00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,200 thoughts. Let me tell you what you won't 779 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,480 go before the throne and say, yeah, I don't, I don't know, 780 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,720 Lord, let's talk about that. You know, we, we had this 781 00:48:00,720 --> 00:48:01,800 discussion when I was on the earth. 782 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,120 That's not what that's going to sound like. 783 00:48:06,720 --> 00:48:12,760 Because when you get in front of pure holiness, righteousness, 784 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,760 the power of God, number one, you're already on your face. 785 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,040 I mean, you're on your face. I mean, Isaiah is called up 786 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:24,640 there and he, he's like, I can't even get in front of it. 787 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,440 I mean, he felt so unworthy. And it's like, get the coal, 788 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,240 touch his tongue so we can have a conversation. 789 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,520 Are you hearing what I'm saying? Now Paul, on the other hand, 790 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,640 said, I knew a man, whether in body or out of body, I do not 791 00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,280 caught up. And there was something about 792 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,200 his spirit man that obviously was righteous and he was able to 793 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:41,600 have some conversation with the Lord. 794 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,680 There's no indication of anything because he doesn't 795 00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,400 write about it. However, we know this, when you 796 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,480 get before the Lord, it's not like you're going to hold your 797 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,760 own opinion. You're going to want his and you 798 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,480 know why you're going? Because that's who you are. 799 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,320 Who you are wants Him because He's life. 800 00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,640 Your spirit man's longing to be released. 801 00:48:59,720 --> 00:49:02,800 That's the point and the only way for your spirit man that's 802 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,320 been made righteous to be released as you have to train 803 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,640 it. But here's the catch, as long as 804 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,520 you're down here, if you start producing a lot of righteous 805 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,000 fruit, you're going to be persecuted. 806 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,600 And here's the thing about persecution is what do you 807 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,160 typically do when all of a sudden people start coming at 808 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:24,080 you're like, what did I do? How come there sometimes you're 809 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:33,920 going to just conclude I'm just righteous And again, you're not 810 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,240 right. He's right. 811 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,600 And if you're doing what he says, then guess what? 812 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,000 It makes you look like you're right. 813 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,640 You know, if people say to you, well, you just think you're 814 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:48,600 always right. Well, if I'm always doing what 815 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:53,880 God says, then God puts me in that position that I'm always 816 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:59,600 because he's always so again, in the earth, you're going to look 817 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,640 like you're always right. You'll always hang. 818 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,320 It's like, and they just get mad and they get so mad at that. 819 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,280 Like I just can't you just think you're well, I mean, at this 820 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,400 point, I'm definitely responding the way the Lord says to come 821 00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:16,720 on, that's good. And how you are this Scripture, 822 00:50:16,720 --> 00:50:19,240 this Scripture, this scripture. Well, you just think you're I'm 823 00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:20,800 not, I'm just saying what the Lord said. 824 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,880 This is righteousness and I'm just releasing who I am. 825 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,480 You want to release who you are because guess what, we're all 826 00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:33,200 right when that happens and when we're all right when that 827 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:37,800 happens, then guess what we are we're in unity, no issues, but 828 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,280 let's go on. Let's read it ourselves. 829 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,920 Look at Philippians chapter 3. Philippians chapter 3 will start 830 00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:43,160 verse one. It says finally my brother 831 00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,560 rejoicing the Lord Paul said to write the same things again to 832 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,080 use no trouble for me. It is a safeguard for you and 833 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:50,280 then look what he says in verse 2. 834 00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,120 Beware of the dogs, beware of evil workers. 835 00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,840 Beware of false circumcision for we are of the true circumcision 836 00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,480 who worships in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus 837 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,680 and put no confidence in the flesh right now here's the 838 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,000 thing, nobody in here or any other church is going to say 839 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:09,280 Paul's wrong. But if we were living in Paul's 840 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:13,080 day, make no mistake, there was a group that said Paul's wrong. 841 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,600 We're the true righteous ones. He's really not. 842 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,000 Well, guess what? In our day people are saying no, 843 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,480 we're the true and their faults. And I was like, no, we're the 844 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,280 true. Well, guess what, there is a 845 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:31,400 true and there is a false. And you know that you're the 846 00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:36,360 true when you are letting his way of doing it be the way you 847 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,280 do it. Then he goes, although myself, 848 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,080 my confidence in the flesh, if anyone else had put in mind to 849 00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,440 put confidence in flesh, I far far more and then he begins to 850 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,320 say this is what I did. He says circumcised the 8th day 851 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,120 the nation of Israel, the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews 852 00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,680 as the law of zeal, our Pharisee as to zeal, a persecutor of the 853 00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,640 church as a righteous which is in the law found blameless, 854 00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,880 which means if you help me according to that, I was right 855 00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,400 on. If you watched it, I did it. 856 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,920 I performed. However, his nature was gone, he 857 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,200 said. But whatever things were gained 858 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,840 to me, those things I counted as loss for the sake. 859 00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,360 So if anybody knows about self religion, Paul did. 860 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,520 But he goes on and says this, more than that, I count all 861 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,080 things to be lost, in view of the surpassing value of knowing 862 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:23,440 Christ my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, 863 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,320 and count them but rubbish, so that I might gain Christ, and 864 00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:28,640 may be found in him. Not having a righteousness of my 865 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:32,760 own derived from the law, but that which is through faith in 866 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,680 Christ, the righteousness which comes from God. 867 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:39,520 On the basis of what faith that I may what know Him and the 868 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:41,960 power of His resurrection, the fellowship of his suffering 869 00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:46,040 being conformed to his death, meaning I die daily to do His 870 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:47,440 will. I release who I am. 871 00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,080 Then he goes on verse 11 in order why that I may attain to 872 00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,920 the resurrection of the dead, not that I have already obtained 873 00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,400 it. He says right now that I've 874 00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,720 already become perfect. This one says, but I what press 875 00:53:00,720 --> 00:53:03,040 on so that I may lay hold of what is he doing. 876 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,920 I'm constantly training in righteousness so that I 877 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,240 constantly bear fruit of righteousness. 878 00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:10,800 I've been made righteous. But here's the thing, I'm 879 00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,920 constantly training. I'm dying to self daily. 880 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,160 I do not allow my own personal opinion or what I think about or 881 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,840 how that made me feel or any of these things that move me. 882 00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:25,120 No, I press on so that I may continue to train and righteous. 883 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,720 Now look at what he says in the second Timothy chapter 2 verses 884 00:53:27,720 --> 00:53:30,280 20 to 25. He says, now in a large house 885 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,000 there are not only gold and silver vessel, but also vessels, 886 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,400 the wood of earthenware, and some of honor and some to 887 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,920 dishonor right, which means you can be righteous but not be 888 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,240 honorable. Therefore if anyone cleanse 889 00:53:43,240 --> 00:53:45,320 himself from these things, he'll be a vessel for honor, 890 00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,600 sanctified, useful for the Master, prepared for every good 891 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,440 work. Who cleanses? 892 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:56,040 You have a cleansing you have to do after you've been made 893 00:53:56,040 --> 00:54:00,280 righteous, after you're born again, and that is the washing 894 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:04,160 of your mind, the renewing of your mind through the washing of 895 00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:07,480 the word and then keeping your body at Bay. 896 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,040 Right? He goes on and says, now look 897 00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:15,560 what he says. Now flee from useful lust and 898 00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:20,760 pursue. But wait a minute, Paul, I 899 00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:24,240 thought you just told us that we were made righteous. 900 00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:29,440 Why do we have to pursue it? So see, there's two avenues of 901 00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:31,600 righteousness. It is the one that we've been 902 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:36,080 made of, not of our own doing or our own self righteousness, but 903 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,640 only by faith that we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and the 904 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,840 finished work, the blood has taken care of all of our sin and 905 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,560 He made us righteous. He took on our sin so I could 906 00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,960 take on His righteousness. But now I'm pursuing 907 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:54,080 righteousness, meaning I'm pursuing daily to release just 908 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:59,680 who I am just so my nature will come out God's way of doing any 909 00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:05,960 situation because for me it's not acceptable to say, well, 910 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,760 they're doing it and seem like they're getting away with it. 911 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,200 What's why should I work so hard? 912 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,320 I'm not working hard. I'm just letting myself be. 913 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:17,200 You work hard when you do things that are unrighteous and think 914 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,360 it's acceptable to God because you asked him to come to your 915 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:23,400 heart and save you. Now you're working, you're back 916 00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:28,520 into works, you're determining how much sin or what can you do 917 00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,640 that God's going to let you be OK with. 918 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:35,640 Now again, if a person is doing that, if they die, obviously 919 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:37,600 they're not going to hell. We're not saying the minute you 920 00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,120 sin one time, you're cut off from God. 921 00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,600 What we are saying is you didn't release who you were, so you did 922 00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:46,680 move back into works because you're trying to produce a 923 00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:53,200 fruit, not not just releasing who you are through 924 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:57,120 demonstrating rights. Meaning you are not going to 925 00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,880 produce righteousness when you are producing or living 926 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,520 unrighteous doing things you know God said don't do. 927 00:56:05,720 --> 00:56:08,760 That's what I'm saying. So he tells us to flee. 928 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,440 Who's responsible for that? It isn't God. 929 00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:14,960 God's not coming to the room and say close your eyes, don't do 930 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:16,400 it. I got you where I'm in control. 931 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,240 Christians fail. Why? 932 00:56:20,240 --> 00:56:23,880 Because they don't flee. He said flee the appearance. 933 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,360 I mean, we're just talking the appearance. 934 00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:29,440 I remember one time you've heard me say this, that I was drinking 935 00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,480 root beer one time. And you know, it's so crazy that 936 00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,720 God did that, but I know why now. 937 00:56:35,240 --> 00:56:38,400 But I was drinking root beers in a brown bottle, which, you know, 938 00:56:38,720 --> 00:56:42,400 Brandon, let me know that apparently there's somebody has 939 00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,680 a blue bottle now, which stinks. So now I'm probably not going to 940 00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:49,280 be able to drive around with my Saratoga's anyway, but my brown 941 00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,760 IBC root beer and the Lord said do not drink this in public 942 00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:57,600 again in my vehicle nowhere. Why? 943 00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,280 Because he knew there's coming a day that people be drinking all 944 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,520 the time and I would be associated with people who just 945 00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,360 drink. But I don't drink. 946 00:57:04,720 --> 00:57:08,440 I drink the Holy Ghost. I get drunk on the new wine that 947 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:14,240 I do, but I don't drink alcohol because I don't want anything to 948 00:57:14,240 --> 00:57:16,160 mess with my mind. I've cut that off. 949 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:20,480 It's not a part of my life, OK? So I don't even want to be at. 950 00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,200 So I flee. Even the appearance. 951 00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,160 I mean, my wife and I, we go down to a particular restaurant, 952 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,840 down a Flagler, and every time we ask for sparkling water, they 953 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,640 always bring it in these fancy glasses that you normally get 954 00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,480 wine and all kind of drinks in. I'm like, just give me a regular 955 00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,680 cup now. I went with Jack Myers, you 956 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:43,760 know, who's an evangelist and we, I had when he came in to do 957 00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:48,400 our graduation and we sat down and he wanted to a root beer. 958 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,440 But he said, now you poured in a mug and I don't want the bottle 959 00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,560 here. He told the, the the waiter that 960 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,920 I don't even want it. I don't even want anyone to 961 00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:58,800 look, walk around and think I have something. 962 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:00,880 Then he said, well, that's kind of extreme. 963 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,240 Well, if that's a personal conviction, what's the problem? 964 00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,560 Because I understand if there's a bottle, root beer bottle and 965 00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,960 somebody thinks I'm drinking alcohol, big deal, I know I'm 966 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:11,920 not. But if I can take it off the 967 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,280 table and the Lord actually gives me the instruction to do 968 00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,640 so, then guess what? God's just saying. 969 00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,480 I'm just trying to safeguard your life, son. 970 00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:25,160 Well, who am I to disobey God and say, Nah, I'll drink my root 971 00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:30,840 beer wherever I want to because I'm free, I can do what I want. 972 00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,320 Obviously you don't know freedom, then obey God, glory to 973 00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:38,000 God, Hallelujah. So he goes on, says flee this, 974 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,800 pursue righteousness, love faith, love, peace, and those 975 00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,440 who call on the Lord from a pure heart because from a pure heart 976 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,920 you're going to pursue it. But refuse foolishness and 977 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,480 ignorant speculation, knowing they produce quarrels. 978 00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,200 The bondservant, the Lord's bondservants must not be 979 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,640 quarrelsome. Be kind to all, able to teach 980 00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:56,920 patient when wrong with gentleness, correcting those who 981 00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,440 are in opposition, if perhaps God may granted them repentance 982 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:00,640 leading to the knowledge of truth. 983 00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:02,760 So again, he sees that there's this conflict. 984 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:04,560 And what he's telling him is if you'll just pursue 985 00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:10,240 righteousness, if you'll just #1 clean yourself up so that you'll 986 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:15,400 be a vessel for honor, useful for the master, and you flee 987 00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,400 things that you that you definitely don't need, and you 988 00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:21,920 just pursue God's way of doing it, then you're not going to be 989 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,600 foolish. And again, we don't want to be 990 00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:27,560 foolish, do we? First Timothy 6 y'all doing all 991 00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:28,760 right. We're going to close real quick, 992 00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:33,200 he tells Timothy again, he says, but flee from these things. 993 00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,400 You man a God and pursue righteousness. 994 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,720 So just because you've been made righteous doesn't mean you're 995 00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:43,360 not supposed to pursue it. And it's easy to pursue it 996 00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:46,280 because it's your nature. Your nature's like man, I love 997 00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:49,720 to do the will of God. That's that's your in Christ 998 00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:51,320 nature. I love to do the will of God. 999 00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:54,000 It wakes up every morning. I love to do the will of God. 1000 00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:55,160 This is the day the Lord has made. 1001 00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,360 I will rejoice and be glad and it doesn't matter what comes 1002 00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,800 because of God before me. Who can be against me? 1003 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,760 I mean, your, your spirit man's like, what do you want to say to 1004 01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:04,040 me, Lord? How do you want me to respond? 1005 01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:06,720 What do you want me to do? What do I do in faith? 1006 01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,560 Who do I talk to? How do I, you know, whatever you 1007 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,920 know, do I lay hands on that? I mean, it's not just hearing 1008 01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,720 him to overcome a trial. It's hearing him to be able to 1009 01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:20,280 work the miracles and miraculous and sow seed and, and, and water 1010 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:24,560 seed and all those things. Your spirit man wants to do it, 1011 01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,640 OK. But he says, flee from these 1012 01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:30,360 things, man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, 1013 01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,280 love, perseverance and gentleness. 1014 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,760 Now listen, we're all these things, but we have to pursue 1015 01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:35,480 them. Why? 1016 01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,760 Because our mind can get off if we do not stay with the Spirit. 1017 01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:42,880 We'll go back to the flesh. Then he says in verse 12, fight 1018 01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:46,040 the good fight of faith, take hold of eternal life to what you 1019 01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:49,240 were called and you may and made the good confession in the 1020 01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,880 presence of many witnesses. Did Paul live a righteous life? 1021 01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:54,640 Well, let's look at it here. We're getting Closings. 1022 01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:57,560 Last passage, second Timothy 4/6 through 8. 1023 01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,440 Paul said, as I am already being poured out as a drink offering 1024 01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:06,520 and the time of my departure has come right then he says I have 1025 01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,520 fought the good fight. So he tells Timothy fight the 1026 01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:10,320 good fight because guess what, I fought it. 1027 01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,400 I have finished the course. Now you had a time that he was 1028 01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,680 thinking about going at a different time in the Lord. 1029 01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,080 He realized I'm not supposed to go, so he didn't leave. 1030 01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,920 He said I'm between two places where they're going to be the 1031 01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,960 Lord or remain here with you. I'm going to stay here. 1032 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,360 Now he's like I've done exactly what God's called me to do. 1033 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,960 The purpose of my life is done. I have fulfilled it. 1034 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:37,800 In essence, I have lived the righteous life for my King and I 1035 01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,200 can go, He said. I finished my course, I have 1036 01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:43,680 kept the faith. Look what it says in the future 1037 01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,480 in the what there is laid up for me. 1038 01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:51,480 The This is what's so powerful about pursuing righteousness or 1039 01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:54,520 having fruits of righteousness. It actually produces an actual 1040 01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:59,120 crown. This is not symbolism. 1041 01:01:59,960 --> 01:02:05,320 This is a real possession because how could you cast a 1042 01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:08,360 crown down at the feet of Jesus if you do not possess 1? 1043 01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:15,640 Now why is there a crown of righteousness laid up for him? 1044 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:21,040 That's the question. It's not just because he was 1045 01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:25,320 born again. I'm not telling you that 1046 01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:29,240 everyone that goes to the Lord receives a crown, because when 1047 01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:33,600 you read about eternal crowns, there are qualifications for 1048 01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:37,520 those, just like there's qualifications on how many 1049 01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,080 cities you get to govern in the millennial reign. 1050 01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,080 With that being said, let's go on. 1051 01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,320 He says. He says there's laid up for me 1052 01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,240 the crown of righteous, which the Lord, the righteous judge, 1053 01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:54,560 will award to me on that. He knows he's getting it now. 1054 01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,600 How awesome is that? I don't know about you, but man, 1055 01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,680 I can handle all kinds of persecution. 1056 01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:04,080 I can handle all kinds of to know that all this. 1057 01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:06,720 If I'm being righteous and you're only persecuting me 1058 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,400 because of my righteousness, I can look at that here that 1059 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:15,080 listen that and go glory to God. He is building my crown there. 1060 01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:22,240 There is a crown awaiting me. Wow, God, the righteous judge 1061 01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:27,440 will award to me on that day and not only to me, but also to all 1062 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,280 who have loved his appearing. And listen, when you love his 1063 01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,480 appearing, you aren't called asleep. 1064 01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,040 You aren't caught doing your own thing. 1065 01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:38,360 You're not doing your own thing. You're not trying to pursue your 1066 01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:40,040 own life. You're not just saying, well, I 1067 01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:41,360 asked you into my heart, He saved me. 1068 01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,360 And I know when I die, I go to heaven and you know I do what I 1069 01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,480 want to do down here. I don't have to do anything. 1070 01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:51,120 No, you pursue righteousness and those who are always having this 1071 01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:54,600 expectation, I'm going to sit, stand before the King of kings, 1072 01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:59,520 the Lord of Lords, the Lord of glory, and he will reward me 1073 01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:03,560 according this, what the Bible says to my deeds, meaning what 1074 01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:11,480 my works in him, what I let him do through me, that was already 1075 01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,160 in me. I just did it by faith and 1076 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:17,080 activated the grace of God. And again, it's not me, but it's 1077 01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:20,840 the grace of God in my life. But what I did do is I had faith 1078 01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:24,400 to release it because just who I am, it's not a show, it's not a 1079 01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,440 put on, and it's not a religious act to be right. 1080 01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:32,280 It's just who I am. It's just who I am. 1081 01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:37,600 Oh, you're just being really. I'm being righteous and Jesus 1082 01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:41,280 made me this way, just like you are being righteous, because 1083 01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:43,800 that's how the Lord made you. Amen.
